Chapter 158 PK of Cruel But Delicious Dishes (1/2)
Lu Hua burst out laughing and said, “The red apricot flowers are booming over the branches, tapping into spring! The apricot flowers are carved vividly! The appearance of this dish is first-class. However, taste should be the main point to decide the winner.”
He took a few bites and said, “This dish is cruel enough. The skin is very crisp and fragrant. Unfortunately…” A hint of appreciation and regret showed up in his voice.
Chef Qian widely opened his eyes and did not blink.
“…Compared with the little girl’s beef balls hammered for thousands of times, your dish is still slightly inferior,” Lu Hua said.
“Crash!” A bucket of ice was poured directly onto chef Qian, which made him feel both disappointed and helpless.
At that time, Yamamoto Shang said with a serious look, “I’ve finished mine.”
He pushed a cage in front of Lu Hua which was covered with a white cloth.
He removed the white cloth and a small monkey was sitting in the cage, whose limbs and body were firmly tied.
Yamamoto Shang peeled a banana for the monkey. The monkey was very happy to swallow it up at once and even grinned towards Yamamoto Shang.
Yamamoto Shang boiled a small pot of oil and uncovered the white cloth that was on top of the monkey.
Long Xi and the contenders present were screaming.
The fur on the monkey’s head was shaved off, while a small patch of its skull was cut off, revealing a spoon-sized hole.
Long Xi was so scared that chose to hide behind Xiaolu. He clenched his sleeve and asked, “Why doesn’t it feel pain?”
Xiaolu looked at her with some concern and said, “Probably, it is anesthetized. Stop watching it, or you will have a nightmare. By the way, where could he find anesthetics in the wild mountain?”
Long Xi turned her head and held back the terror in her mind, saying, “Are there any herbs in the ingredients? Do you smell some remaining faint fragrance in the air? Have you ever heard about the anesthetic powder invented by Hua Tuo? It is boiled with herbs. I guess Yamamoto Shang might know some pharmacology.”
Bai Bing suddenly said, “Xiaolu, I dare not look at this.”
Xiaolu looked at her deeply and reached out his hand to cover her eyes.
His hands were warm and moist because of sweating.
Bai Bing’s ears turned red, while her voice turned sweet. “What are you doing?”
She asked but her body was very honest, accepting his gesture.
Long Xi thought, “Xiaolu, perhaps, you, such a small sun, can really melt Bai Bing, an iceberg! You don’t realize that you have warmed her cold mind up, hahaha! How about helping you to have her after I save Brother Kun out?”
Yamamoto Shang poured a spoon of boiled oil into the hole on top of the monkey’s head.
Smoke scattered over the monkey’s head while the hot oil creaked inside.
Long Xi was too scared to cover her ears.
Lu Hua asked, “Are you preparing me a living monkey to eat?”
Yamamoto Shang said, “It’s the monkey brain. Use the spoon.”
He pointed at the prepared clean spoon on the plate.
Lu Hua said, “Interesting! Humans always say that wolves are cruel, but we always know of cruel ways! Do you have a good name for it?”
Yamamoto Shang said, “I named it the first snow of spring.”
Lu Hua said with a smile, “Good name! Very suitable and elegant!”
He gracefully placed the spoon in the monkey’s brain and took out a spoonful of white brain matter.
“Drinking” the brain up, he showed up a smile of enjoyment.
The monkey was also smiling, because Yamamoto Shang passed it another banana.
Xiaolu guessed correctly, it had to be numbed by an anesthetic powder. Yamamoto Shang may have had to greatly add the dose to reduce the monkey’s pain.
It was eating a banana while Lu Hua was eating its brain.
After a while, its head suddenly slumped and died with a smile.
Throughout the process, Long Xi dared not look at it and secretly wiped away her tears.
Even Xiaolu who was really courageous was scared numb. He dared not speak a word or step forward.
Weiwei screamed out in a low voice a few times.
Yamamoto Shang asked Lu Hua, “How many points would you give me if you have a full score?”
Lu Hua replied unequivocally, “98 points.”
Yamamoto Shang was stunned and asked in an unwilling tone, “What are the missing two points? Am I not cruel enough? If I didn’t add more anesthetic powder, the monkey would have screamed loudly because of the pain. It would struggle all the time, but its body was tied, so it could not move. This would be real cruelty!”
He wore a smile, but there was no sense of joy in his eyes, seemingly covered with a layer of ice.
Everyone present was stunned by his eyes.
