Chapter 210 The World of Gourmet Food
Food center, wholesale market.
"Hey, Xia Yu, quickly move that box of strawberry rice over here."
In the Food Wholesale City, a dark-skinned man with a long scar on his left cheek and wearing sunglasses was shouting at a black-haired figure.
"Got it, boss."
Xia Yu responded weakly, then took a deep breath, picked up the one-meter-high box in front of him, and walked towards the dark-skinned man.
This is a wholesale food market where all the delicious ingredients from all over the world are gathered. It is commonly known as the World Kitchen. It covers a total area of 3,000 hectares and imports 900,000 tons of food every day. It can be called a monster market!
This is an era of gourmet food, an era of exploring unknown delicacies.
There are endless gourmets who explore unknown delicacies, and chefs who can cook a variety of ingredients are also highly respected.
A gourmet is someone who seeks out unknown delicacies, searches for and captures unheard-of ingredients on his own, and takes food as his life.
Of course, ordinary people can also live well in this world as long as they don’t dream of becoming a gourmet.
After all, in this place where food is everything, even looking for food is very dangerous, and you can lose your life if you are not careful.
Ever since traveling to the world of "The Prisoner of Food", Xia Yu has chosen to live the life of an ordinary person. It's not that he doesn't want to experience those unknown delicacies, but he really doesn't have the strength.
He is still very self-aware. After all, even if he traveled through time, he is just an ordinary person. He does not have the golden finger system that is necessary for time travelers. If there is a review about time travel, he will definitely give a bad review!
However, Xia Yu sometimes feels regretful. After all, he traveled through time, but in the end he could only be an ordinary person.
The main reason is that the combat power of this world is ridiculously high. In the later stages, planets and the universe are part of the ingredients. If the strength is strong enough, even the universe can be cooked into a dish.
But that kind of thing has nothing to do with an ordinary person like him for the time being. All he can do now is to live a good life and try to eat more delicious food that he has never eaten before.
After all, we have traveled to a world of gourmet food, and it would be a big loss if we don’t eat some delicious food.
"Hey, Shi Meng, I'm here to deliver goods to you again."
Just as Xia Yu was carrying the strawberry rice, a blue-haired man carrying a huge bull walked and shouted to his boss.
"Oh, this is really big. It must be more than ten tons." Shi Meng looked at the bull in front of him and praised the blue-haired man, "You have become stronger again, A Lu."
"Hahaha, this is just the beginning. When I go to the food world, I will bring you its ingredients." The blue-haired man, A'lu, patted the bull and laughed.
"The food industry?" Shi Meng's face changed. "Alu, are you going to the food industry soon?"
"Yes." A Lu looked towards the horizon with hope, "I want to know the limit of my own power. Please keep it a secret for me, Shi Meng."
"Got it." Shi Meng nodded, "You must be careful."
After saying that, Shi Meng turned his head and looked at Xia Yu, and shouted loudly: "Xia Yu, come and help me move the Jiuluan Niu, I will cut a piece to eat together in the evening."
"Alas..." Xia Yu sighed and shook his head, "Boss, you think too highly of me. This weighs ten tons."
"Alu, you're still here, Alu. Please help me load it onto the truck."
"no problem."
A Lu grinned, moved his wrist slightly, then picked up the Drunken Bull and threw it at the truck beside him. With the addition of ten tons of cargo, the truck's tires were slightly deformed.
"Hey, be gentle with me!"
"Hey, don't worry about it. The tire isn't flat."
A Lu waved his hand to respond to Shi Meng's yell. Seeing the food being loaded onto the truck, Xia Yu shrugged and walked towards the truck.
As a porter, you not only have to carry goods, but also know how to drive a truck. Although the trucks here are somewhat different from those on Earth, the difference is not that big and you will become proficient after driving them a few times.
But, the plot has come to this point.
Xia Yu was thinking as he got on the truck.
He was a time traveler after all, so although he didn't remember the plot very clearly, he still remembered the general plot.
For example, when Alu went to the food world for the first time, he remembered the handsome old man Jiro, but unfortunately he had never seen Jiro in this world.
But it's normal. Jiro's external identity is a famous acupuncture master after all. An ordinary person like him has no ability to meet him unless they meet by chance.
The earth in this world is not the earth in the traditional sense. In the gourmet world, the gourmet earth is 166 times the size of the ordinary earth.
Moreover, the Gourmet Earth is divided into the human world and the gourmet world. The human world is where humans live, and its environment is relatively mild. Biological evolution is not particularly mature, and extremely dangerous monsters rarely appear. Extreme environments and dangerous lands are only fixed in individual areas, and if they are properly isolated, they will not endanger ordinary humans.
The food world is an area that humans are unable to explore. This area occupies most of the earth's area. In the food world, both plants and animals are so powerful that they are incomparable to the human world. The environment is also very extreme. Only people with extremely strong strength can enter and exit freely. Therefore, whether one can enter the food world is also a measure of one's strength.
Even Aro, who is known as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet, almost died when he first entered the world of gourmet food, and was then rescued by Jiro.
"It seems like it's still a long way to go before the human world falls into chaos."
Xia Yu leaned back in the truck seat, closed his eyes and thought silently. Although he had no ability to participate in the plot, at least he could rely on foresight to avoid some disasters.
Around chapter 200 of the manga, the human world is in chaos, with the four kings of the late scum and early bosses coming to attack, and Xia Yu has already made up his mind that by then he will hide before the attack until the disaster is over.
Then he would take this opportunity to accumulate a large amount of food. He vaguely remembered that there would be a long period of famine in the later period, which would be too desperate.
Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the progress of the plot occasionally.
"Oh, what a pity that the comic collapsed in the later stages. Even if I knew the plot, there was nowhere to hide." Recalling the final ending of the comic, Xia Yu muttered to himself.
In the later stage, the food comic directly turned into a fighting comic. A random punch could smash the huge earth to pieces. At that time, he could only pray that he could survive.
As it gradually darkened, his work for the day came to an end. He currently worked as a porter under Shi Meng. Since he was still strong enough, Shi Meng often brought him to the World Kitchen.
At night, Shi Meng fulfilled his promise and really cut off a piece of wine-roasted beef, cooked it into a dish and had a meal with Xia Yu.
The beef itself contained a high concentration of alcohol, and when paired with the liqueur, the two got drunk after just a few bites.
Later, Xia Yu didn’t know how he got back to his room. Anyway, he slept until noon the next day.
"Hmm...I slept quite comfortably."
Because the ingredients were of good quality, Xia Yu didn't have any hangover feeling.
Because I had been to the wholesale market yesterday and bought some wine-boiled beef from A'lu, I had a rare moment of free time today.
"Why not just lie down for a day..."
Just as Xia Yu was staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, a reminder suddenly sounded in his ears.
