“It’s said that the country has thousands of years of history and has a broad and profound culture in cooking. Every dish is superb.”
Chen Qiyue looked at the menu with a sigh. “l also remembered the names of those dishes, but I didn’t expect to see them here.”
Yuwen Bo looked at Chen Qiyue in surprise. “You actually know this country.
Indeed, the Eastern dishes here are very delicious and there are many dishes.”
“However, some people might not eat it. For example, this spicy fish slice with vine pepper. That spicy food is not something ordinary people can eat.”
Chen Qiyue pointed at the dish and said with a smile, “Then I want this spicy fish slice with vine peppers too.”
Although Chen Qiyue had indeed seen information about the Dragon of the
East in many books, he knew that these dishes were not just because of these.
At first, when he came to this world, he thought that nothing had changed except for the Fantastic Beasts around him.
In fact, he was wrong. Only the part he knew had not changed.
For example, his parents, some relatives and teachers, and the state of some cities.
However, the other changes were still very big.
The country he used to live in was actually Hua, which was known as the Dragon of the East. The planet he lived on was called Earth.
The countries were just a few large and small countries. There were no Thirteen Regions at all.
Chen Qiyue thought that this was the consequence of the arrival of the Fantastic Beasts.
After all, some of the dishes cooked by his parents were Hua food.
However, later on, he realized that other than the city at home, the dishes in the other places were different.
Other than the fact that the home-cooked dishes were Hua food, the other dishes had a strange feeling and tasted different.
Some dishes were gone, and the dishes made were not authentic at all. The taste was rather strange.
Later on, when he was at the research institute, he would cook his own food. He would either eat bread or have vegetarian food.
Some ingredients had also changed a lot because of the Fantastic Beast.
Now that he looked at the pictures on the menu, the familiar feeling and the rich feeling of having many dishes made him very excited.
He wondered if the dishes here were really as authentic as he wanted.
In fact, many of the people present were from the Double Purple Region. Some of them were even from Chen Qiyue’s hometown.
“I’ve eaten this dish in our restaurant before, but the taste is too different! This is too delicious!”
That person kept picking up the plate of green pepper beef tenderloin in front of him.
It was the same home-cooked food, but the taste was different.
Chen Qiyue picked up his chopsticks curiously and his eyes lit up.
“The ingredients are different. The seasonings have also changed. It’s a real Oriental dish.’
Chen Qiyue and that person looked at each other and saw the appreciation in each other’s eyes.
“Qian Song.” Qian Song nodded at Chen Qiyue. “This is my hometown dish.” “Chen Qiyue.” Chen Qiyue smiled and said, “It’s also my hometown dish.”
“Yes, you’re the most likely candidate to win the championship in our Sishe team. I didn’t expect you to be from the same hometown as me,” Qian Song said as he quickly picked up the food and ate.
His ranking was above average. He admired and envied Chen Qiyue.
“I don’t know much about you guys either. This is the first time I know that you and I are from the same place.” Chen Qiyue smiled and picked up two prawns for Hou Fei and Wen Xiangqin.
“This is Longjing Shrimp. It’s cooked with tea leaves and shrimp. This tea leaf is called Longjing.”
“l know this is called Longjing Shrimp, but I don’t know that this tea leaf is also called Longjing. It’s a very pleasant name.” Yuwen Bo looked at the emerald tea leaves beside the plate of shrimps in front of him.
“Why don’t you tell us about the origin of this Longjing tea?”
“I do know a little, but it’s not tea from my hometown. I’ve only heard a little.”
Chen Qiyue said, “That’s a place called Hangzhou. Longjing Tea is produced there.’
Qian Song was stunned. He looked up at Chen Qiyue. “Hangzhou is my hometown, but we don’t seem to produce Longjing tea there, We only produce crystal tea, and the taste is different.”
Chen Qiyue frowned and thought for a moment. He smiled and said, “Then I might have remembered wrongly. I read too many books and might have gotten it wrong.”
The waiter who served the dishes was from the private room. He had been busy at the side and naturally heard Chen Qiyue and the others’ conversation.
She glanced at Chen Qi a few times. When all the dishes were served, she left.
In a room at the top of the building, a waiter was standing respectfully at the side. It was the waiter from Chen Qiyue’s private room.
In front of her was a woman in a red cheongsam. She was holding a wine glass in her hand and sipping elegantly.
“He said that Longjing was produced in Hangzhou?”
“Yes, ma’am.” The waiter bowed his head respectfully.
“How interesting.” The woman placed the wine glass in her hand on the table beside her and tapped her fingers on the table. After thinking for a while, she said, “Send him a VIP card. The kind with a 50% discount.”
“Yes.” The waiter bowed and left.
The woman walked slowly to the window and looked up at the scene outside the glass, as if she was nostalgic.
When Chen Qiyue and the others were almost done eating, Yuwen Bo began to get to the point. He leaned back in his chair and looked at the Beast Tamer paragons present with a serious expression.
“In a few days, the selection will begin. You asked me about the special selection just now. This time, I’ll tell you what the Special Dragon Group’s selection is about.’
Hearing Yuwen Bo say this, everyone raised their heads and looked at him. “The so-called selection of the Special Dragon Group is actually to select the most talented Beast Tamers in the Thirteen Regions and help them grow as soon as possible.”
Yuwen Bo began to speak tirelessly.
“In fact, before you entered the Special Dragon Group, your character, background, family, talent, potential, and so on were all under our inspection. ”
“After all of you pass, you will have the aptitude to become experts.”
“The Special Dragon Group wants to choose the best of the best.”
“The real Special Dragon Group’s selection is not to test and rank your potential, but to use all the resources in the 13 Regions to let you grow.”
“The one with the fastest growth and the best talent will be able to stand out and enter the special selection.”
“The special selection is different from the other selections. It’s said that no one can really complete the special selection.”
“However, as long as you can pass the third level of the special selection, you can become the Branch Master of the twelve branches of the Special Dragon Group.”
“Do you know how the Special Dragon Group came about?” Yuwen Bo suddenly asked.
Everyone present was stunned and shook their heads.
“In the beginning, there was no Special Dragon Group in this world. At that time, there were no Fantastic Beasts in this world.’
Yuwen Bo said indifferently, “It’s just that this history has been blocked. Only when you reach a certain level can you understand it.”
“At that time, we humans did not have Beast Tamers. The descent of the Fantastic Beast was actually a disaster for human society.”
“Peaceful Fantastic Beasts won’t attack humans, but those violent Fantastic Beasts have brought a huge disaster to humans.”
“At that time, the bloodline of humans was awakened. Humans had different bloodlines in their bodies, and their levels were even higher than those Fantastic Beasts.”
“Then, a Fantastic Beast signed a contract with a human and became a human partner. Only then did a Beast Tamer appear.”
“At that time, the twelve strongest people represented the twelve bloodlines and established the greatest Beast Taming Tower together.”
“And those twelve bloodlines are the current twelve branches of the Special Dragon Group.”
“However, as time passed, many branch bloodlines were severed, and those branches were sealed.’
“As long as someone breaks through to the third level of the Beast Taming
Tower and lights up a new branch pattern, they can directly become the
Branch Master of this branch.’
“All the previous selections of the Special Dragon Group were to choose people who could enter the Beast Taming Tower.”
“After entering the Beast Taming Tower, challenging the levels is the so-called special selection..”
