Chapter 1149: Weight Loss in Progress
"Too delicious!
!"
Li Xiaomiao held her chubby face and rubbed it hard three times, wanting to dissolve the tingling sensation coming from the inner wall of her mouth.
That was the call that erupted after her lips and tongue tasted the exquisite flavor; it was the ultimate pleasure from body to heart, so refreshing that her teeth felt soft, and she didn't even have the strength to chew.
So she could only rub her cheeks, attempting to wake up the normal function of her mouth.
However, this scene, in Miss Luo Quan's eyes, was another scene.
Could it be that the situation in "Chuuka Ichiban!" where one falls into an illusion after eating delicious food can be replicated in reality?
Logically speaking, this dish of hers only had the budding signs of entering the Dao, but it shouldn't be enough to make people fall directly into this color, fragrance, and taste.
However, seeing that everyone could like this dish of hers so much, Miss Luo Quan was still very happy.
Perhaps it was because the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was too delicious, but when the last dish was served, everyone's enthusiasm wasn't as strong as before.
The Returning-to-the-Phoenix-Pool Boast was worthy of being the finale dish of this banquet; one could smell a refreshing fragrance from far away.
Although the main ingredient was lotus root, Miss Luo Quan also smelled a floral fragrance.
Because she hadn't seen the recipe, she didn't know exactly what flower it was, but the overall taste should be relatively fresh.
This was also suitable for guests who had just gorged themselves and drank a large bowl of thick soup, to scrape away the greasiness in their intestines and stomachs.
The lotus root of the Returning-to-the-Phoenix-Pool Boast was as crystal clear as ice, making people feel that it didn't look like food at first glance, but should be an artwork.
Miss Luo Quan tasted a mouthful and found that this soup actually had two kinds of texture.
One was the lotus root that was cold to the heart but melted in the mouth.
One was the clear soup that was hot enough to make one sweat and left a fragrance on the lips and teeth.
Among them were many lotus seeds and flower petals. Miss Luo Quan tasted a little of each in turn and found that each had its own characteristics.
"It's truly delicious. No wonder the citizens of our Imperial Capital are always thinking about drinking such a bowl."
Miss Luo Quan put down the soup spoon and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I don't know if I can replicate this dish if I return to Earth."
"Why, you've only eaten two mouthfuls, and you want to replicate this famous dish that counts in the Heavenly Dynasty?" Bai Xingwei laughed. "You wouldn't really think of yourself as the God of Cooking, would you?"
"Just trying it out, there's no loss." Miss Luo Quan smiled, supporting her chin. "What if it succeeds?"
"Speaking of which, after today's banquet, the citizens of the Imperial Capital probably won't just look forward to the Returning-to-the-Phoenix-Pool Boast dish; they should also add this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall of yours." Saying this, Wen Xia drank another mouthful of soup, exhaling a hot breath with satisfaction.
"It's a good thing that everyone likes my food, but it's a pity that I can't let them taste it often in the future," Miss Luo Quan said with regret.
"This is actually a good thing." Wen Xia laughed. "What you can't get is always restless. If you cooked Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for the citizens to eat every day, it wouldn't take long before they felt sick of it.
But if you only let them eat it once every few years or even ten years, they would certainly be grateful to you."
"That seems to be the case." Miss Luo Quan tilted her head and smiled: "But why should I let the citizens be grateful to me? I cook these delicacies because I want them to enjoy the deliciousness, not to let them be grateful to me.
Their intoxicated expression when enjoying the food is the greatest achievement for me."
Listening to Miss Luo Quan's words, Bai Xingwei looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed faintly: "I probably understand why you can become the Holy Mother. You seem to always hold a sincere heart for the masses.
Compassionate, kind, and pure."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say." Miss Luo Quan covered her mouth and laughed non-stop. "I just can't bear to see poor people.
Actually, every kind person is like this. It's possible that they aren't doing well themselves, but when they see the suffering of others, they will still feel compassion.
Many people say that human nature is evil, and some say that human nature is good, but I think that human nature is neither good nor evil at birth.
At first, it is out of survival instinct, which is animal nature, and animal nature has nothing to do with good or evil.
Can you say that a wolf eating a sheep is evil? If a wolf doesn't eat grass, can you say that a wolf is good?
Obviously, these are all conclusions that cannot be made.
And whether it finally develops into good or evil mainly has to do with the environment of growth.
If parents and teachers guide well, you can naturally become a kind and good person.
And those perverted serial killers often have a tragic childhood.
Therefore, my kindness is not because I was born kind, but because the environment I live in makes me kind.
As for being unsoiled by the mud, that belongs to a very small number of cases."
Bai Xingwei was made dizzy by Miss Luo Quan's long speech: "You're the Holy Mother, so you have the final say. I'm no match for you when it comes to reasoning."
Miss Luo Quan smiled: "This isn't reasoning; it's stating facts."
"Hiccup~~"
At this time, a cute hiccup sound came from beside the two.
Turning their heads to look, they found that Li Xiaomiao had already finished the entire basin of Returning-to-the-Phoenix-Pool Boast, leaning against the chair with her belly sticking out, her expression one of satisfaction.
"I haven't been this full for a long time. Thinking that I can never eat like this again, I feel a little sad." Li Xiaomiao rubbed her belly, her satisfied expression revealing some regret.
"Still the same sentence, you can quit at any time before starting.
But once it starts, when it ends is not up to you." Miss Luo Quan pinched Li Xiaomiao's chubby cheeks and gave her a final reminder.
"Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely not give up halfway!" Li Xiaomiao said with certainty.
"Okay." Miss Luo Quan nodded gently. "After signing the contract later, you will go to my hometown with me and let you taste the food that is different from the Universe."
"The Holy Mother's hometown, what will it look like there?" Li Xiaomiao's eyes revealed a curious look.
"A very, very beautiful place." Miss Luo Quan said with a smile. "Although it is on the edge of the universe, very remote, and far less prosperous than the Universe.
But there are still many beautiful sceneries there, and if you integrate into that place, you will definitely feel that it is very interesting."
In a few words, Li Xiaomiao's anticipation was hooked.
However, before going, she was also told some precautions by Miss Luo Quan.
That is, she cannot leak anything about the Universe. From now on, she is an Asian on a small island in the Pacific, and her ancestors all came to the island by boat.
As for the cat ears on her head, use a larger hairpin to cover them up.
After explaining a few precautions, Li Xiaomiao also understood what she could do and what she couldn't do next.
Although she was fat, there was no problem with her intelligence.
It's just that she was young, so she seemed a bit naive.
In fact, in most cases, she was still quite witty.
The evening banquet ended in laughter. When Miss Luo Quan left, many princes and nobles invited her to attend the following party.
Although she didn't know what the nature of it was, Miss Luo Quan felt it was better not to join in the fun.
She didn't even know what the theme was; who knew what kind of party it would be after going there.
The ways of rich people on Earth were already very fancy, and these advanced and developed alien civilizations would only have more diverse ways.
Considering her reputation as a dignified Holy Mother, she felt it was better not to get close.
Although she hoped to negotiate the cooperation, it was based on pure monetary interests.
If she wanted to develop some other memories, then everything was out of the question.
The palace was brightly lit tonight. Ye Zhining had been receiving ambassadors from various countries, while Aunt Fang had gone to the four districts of the Imperial Capital to meet the citizens.
Everyone had serious business, so when Miss Luo Quan left, she could only send them a text message to say goodbye.
Fortunately, they didn't make her wait too long when they replied, and soon sent her a message, wishing her all the best and to meet again in a while.
After saying goodbye, Miss Luo Quan took Li Xiaomiao, who had already signed the contract, and returned to Earth.
According to the performance of Ye Zhining and Bai Xingwei when they came to Earth, people from the Universe were still relatively adaptable to the environment of Earth.
Except that the energy obtained from the diet was slightly less, there should be no particularly big difference.
"Boss, your room is so fragrant. Is it because of this flower?" Li Xiaomiao looked at Miss Luo Quan's room and was soon attracted by a sunflower on the computer desk.
"If I remember correctly, this is the holy flower in the Dawn Scripture, known as always yearning for the light, and is the embodiment of purity." Li Xiaomiao stepped in front of the sunflower and said excitedly.
"In fact, this is transformed by a suit of armor, not a flower." Miss Luo Quan chuckled. "As for the sunflower you mentioned, there are many in my hometown. I'll let you see it when I have a chance."
"This is armor?" Li Xiaomiao pointed at the sunflower potted plant in surprise. "Does the Boss's home planet also have such spiritual treasures?"
"Of course, it's just that the quantity is very small." Miss Luo Quan said, taking a thick book out of the storage space.
This was "Quick Introduction to Chinese," which Xu Yanqing had read before.
"Besides losing weight, another thing you have to do is learn Chinese.
The whole world is speaking Chinese, Confucius's words, more and more..."
Miss Luo Quan almost started singing as she spoke.
But the meaning was about the same; in short, learning Mandarin was very important.
"Learning a foreign language?" Li Xiaomiao's eyes glowed. "What I'm good at is this. I learn content related to text very quickly!"
"If that's the case, then that's the best." Miss Luo Quan nodded gently, then opened the door: "Let's go downstairs first, meet my family and friends, and we will be together from now on."
"Ah?" Li Xiaomiao suddenly became a bit coy. "Boss's family... do I really have to meet them?"
"Don't worry, they are all very kind people, and you will definitely get along very well."
Miss Luo Quan said with a smile, holding Li Xiaomiao's hand and going downstairs.
It just so happened that everyone was eating dinner in the living room at this time.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming downstairs from upstairs, they all thought Miss Luo Quan had come out of seclusion.
They stood up and looked over, only to find that she was followed by a new face.
"Yo, whose little sister is this? She's so cute." Wen Xia was always familiar, taking the initiative to come forward and greet her.
Seeing Li Xiaomiao looking at her blankly, Miss Luo Quan immediately said: "She comes from the same place as Ye Zhining and the others. She still doesn't understand Chinese very well and is currently learning it."
Afterward, she translated Wen Xia's words to Li Xiaomiao.
"Is there really a girl who would praise me for being cute?" Li Xiaomiao asked excitedly. "In school before, girls all said I was so fat, and standing together lowered their beauty."
Miss Luo Quan smiled and replied: "I told you, the people here are all very good and won't attack you because you're fat.
But after becoming a celebrity, it might not be the case. People on the internet don't have such high quality as us."
"What are you two talking about?" Wen Xia couldn't participate in the conversation and asked directly.
"Xiaomiao is saying that there really will be people who praise her for being cute. She feels that she is very fat, and when she was in school before, she was often scolded by female classmates." After Miss Luo Quan finished speaking, hearing Li Xiaomiao add another sentence, she continued: "Xiaomiao also said thank you, sister, for being able to praise her."
"What a gentle girl. Those women who attacked her must be the worst of the worst." Gao Liang couldn't stand this and spoke up for Li Xiaomiao.
Wen Xia's response was also very straightforward, directly pulling Xiaomiao to the table, smiling and inviting her to eat together.
Tonight's dinner was very rich. On the table were a whole roasted lamb sprinkled with cumin, and then Mapo Tofu, roasted eggplant, roasted chicken legs, large sausages, beef skewers, and the like.
It was obvious that they had ordered a large set meal at a barbecue restaurant. This food condition really made people want to lose weight but find it hard to lose.
Although Li Xiaomiao didn't know what these foods on the table were specifically, the tempting fragrance had already made her drool.
Clearly she had just eaten so full at the banquet, but she felt that as long as she was willing, she could eat the food on the table!
"Thank you, sister, then I won't be polite." Li Xiaomiao didn't care whether Wen Xia could understand her words or not. After thanking her, she smiled and reached out her hand.
"Cough cough!" Miss Luo Quan coughed heavily twice to show a reminder.
Li Xiaomiao suddenly shook all over, and her outstretched right hand froze in the air.
Miss Luo Quan said to everyone: "Eat, why aren't you eating?" Wen Xia asked in confusion. "Don't you like eating barbecue?"
"Xiaomiao came to me to lose weight. You know how high the calories are in this barbecue, right?
And she was already very full before coming. For her own good, let her just watch this barbecue."
"So that's how it is. Then it's really not very suitable for eating barbecue." Gao Liang nodded gently. "I was planning to eat this meal and never touch barbecue again. This thing really has no benefits for health."
"But it can't be helped that it's delicious." Wen Xia mourned for Li Xiaomiao for three seconds, then picked up a meat skewer and started eating.
She had experienced the taste of losing weight, and that was really not a life for people.
Xiaomiao's body type was much more outrageous than hers back then.
To lose it, I don't know how much effort it would take and how much appetite to endure.
I hope she won't have any situation of stealing food.
"My suggestion is, it's best not to watch." Miss Luo Quan patted Li Xiaomiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "After all, out of sight, out of mind."
