I am a hero in online games

Chapter 95 Food Contest ([-])

After leaving Chengdu, Xianyunzi and He Ergou went north all the way, and were about to return to Xiaoyao Valley.

It was noon one day, He Ergou and Xian Yunzi went to an unknown village.The two had already been on their way for a long time, and the sun was scorching hot at this time, but Xian Yunzi was still calm and unconcerned about the weather, and just rode forward.

The two rode horses and passed through the village, because yesterday they happened to go to a deserted Gobi, and as far as the eye could see, it was desolate.

In that kind of place where not a single blade of grass grows, even birds and animals are very rare, let alone inns.

So until noon today, He Ergou didn't eat a bite, and only drank water to satisfy his hunger.

Ten minutes ago, I finally saw a village with smoke rising from the kitchen. He Ergou seemed to have seen the chicken marrow bamboo shoots, rouge goose breast, lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake written in the book...

Even if there are not so many exquisite snacks in this small village that make you want to eat, but given He Ergou's current level of hunger, even a bowl of stewed potatoes with vermicelli can make him get carried away.

Sitting on horseback, watching the village in the distance change from a small black dot with only visible cooking smoke to a lively village with people coming and going, He Ergou felt indescribably happy and his stomach growled. It’s getting more and more fun.

Finally, the two horses finally walked slowly into the center of the village. As soon as they passed the market, He Ergou saw a small noodle shop.

The noodle shop is located on the side of the street, and He Ergou stared desperately at the inside with his eyes wide open, and he could even see the oily flowers floating in the noodle soup in the hands of the customers.

The bowl was full of crystal-clear oil flowers, some were round and full like a delicious pancake;

In fact, He Ergou couldn't see any oil flowers at all, he could only see the guests sweating profusely and smell the tangy fragrance.

Just staring like that, he gradually found that his neck was a little sore, and then he was shocked to realize that he had already walked a long way past the noodle shop.

He Ergou turned his head, raised his eyes and glanced at Xian Yunzi secretly, only to find that the expression on the master's face was as calm as ever, and it seemed that he had no desire to stop at all...

He Ergou swallowed forcefully, and thought, "Yes, it would be too disrespectful for a respectable martial arts hero like Master to sit in such a messy roadside shop and eat noodles. It’s not too late to eat high-end food after a while!”

Thinking of this, He Ergou's heart is full of motivation to move forward, and those ordinary noodles in clear soup, steamed buns... are no longer in his consideration, and now he only has more high-end food in his heart.

In this way, the two continued to ride forward, passing a lot of snacks along the way: sweet-scented osmanthus cake, candied haws, fried chestnuts...

But He Ergou remained unmoved. Since the master decided to eat some high-end food, there was no need to take these things seriously.

He Ergou sat on the horse, raised his head arrogantly, and never looked at them.

Finally, the two came to the center of this small village. A man in coarse gray clothes with a white towel on his shoulder broke into He Ergou's sight.

"This dress is... a waiter?" He Ergou was delighted. Where there is a waiter, there must be a restaurant of some size!

He Ergou hastily raised his head to scan, and sure enough, a two-story restaurant suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He Ergou was overjoyed, pulled the rein involuntarily, and the horse under him obediently slowed down.

The smell of food could not stop coming from the restaurant, and Xiao Er kept yelling loudly at the door: "This restaurant has special Dongpo elbow, Mrs. Song's fish soup, braised lion's head..."

These warm, greasy but fragrant words kept pouring out of Xiao Er's mouth, and He Ergou could no longer remain calm.

His brain seems to be out of his control, and he can't stop recalling the scene of eating a lion's head: red meatballs that were slightly blackened, with chopsticks lightly clamping and trembling, they split open all of a sudden. As the juice in the meat covered the bottom of the bowl, a hot aroma rushed over.Then I took the chopsticks to my mouth and took a light bite. The scorching hot meat foam kept rolling on the tip of my tongue. It's lingering...

Before he knew it, He Ergou's saliva was already on his lips...

Suddenly, He Ergou felt someone pat on the shoulder, and the delicious meatballs in front of his eyes disappeared without a trace, but there seemed to be a faint fragrance between He Ergou's lips and teeth...

Seeing that He Ergou was distracted all the way and drooling with his eyes blank, Xianyunzi felt concerned, so he patted his shoulder and asked, "Ergou, what's wrong with your body?"

Only then did He Ergou come back to his senses, and subconsciously replied: "Master, I'm fine."

As soon as he said this, He Ergou thought of regretting it, but the master had already nodded and turned around, and continued to ride the horse expressionlessly.

He Ergou secretly glanced to the side of the road, but he couldn't even see the shadow of the inn...

"There are restaurants all over the place, and the master doesn't stop! I'm really going to starve to death!"

He Ergou was so hungry that he wanted to discuss with Xian Yunzi, so he went back the same way and went to the restaurant to eat his fill.

But as soon as the words came to his mouth, He Ergou hesitated. Who is the master, he is the head of the Xiaoyao Sect, and he is also an expert in the world. Naturally, he can endure hunger and starvation, and will not stop for a mere meal.

And I am also going to take over as the head of the Xiaoyao faction, so it would be inappropriate if I delay my journey because of a meal.

"Perhaps this is a test given to me by Master! God will give this man a great responsibility, and he will also starve his body and skin..." He Ergou told himself unswervingly: He wanted to become the leader of a sect. Never delay your trip just for a meal!

In this way, the two walked for a long time without saying a word. Gradually, He Ergou felt that his strong sense of hunger gradually weakened, until finally it disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that I have passed it!" He Ergou said to himself in his heart, "Fortunately, I didn't ask to go back for a meal. It seems that Master has really worked hard to test me and grind me. Train me, let me have the ability and perseverance to stand alone!"

Thinking this way, the two finally came to the end of the village.

He Ergou saw a large group of people gathering together, very noisy, as if everyone was shouting something.

He Ergou was curious, so he rode his horse and leaned over slightly, stretched his neck and looked over there. It didn't matter, He Ergou's stomach suddenly growled again - a group of people gathered around him. There was a long wooden table, which was filled with all kinds of dishes, and two people were sitting at the table to eat.

He Ergou lost his mind all of a sudden, he couldn't stand such painful hunger any longer, finally mustered up the courage to say to Xian Yunzi: "Master, there seems to be something to eat over there, let's go there and eat something!"

Xian Yunzi's expression didn't change, he just opened his mouth, but didn't answer.

He Ergou felt a little guilty, after all, he failed to live up to the expectations of his master and failed to withstand the torment of hunger.

But I am really hungry, I hope Master will not blame me.

So, He Ergou said sincerely: "Master, I know that you just want to test me by not stopping to eat along the way, and I also know that if you want to be an independent person, you can't be bothered by these small things, but I..."

Xianyunzi shook his head silently and said slowly: "I don't mean this as a teacher."

He Ergou was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Then why didn't we eat a single meal on the way after leaving Gobi?"

Xian Yunzi touched his forehead calmly, and said, "As a teacher... it seems that I left my purse in the Gobi."
