Faced with the ridicule of the whole building, Chen Xi could no longer hold his face. Without saying a word, he flew off the platform, hugged his charming female companion, and ran out of the bell and drum tower with a group of friends in shame.
"Ai, Mr. Chen, can you still cut a knife! Our bell and drum tower will definitely help you keep this knife." The middle-aged chef stood on the platform and shouted, still smiling with great joy.
Seeing this scene, Sun Yan finally understood and said, "That 60 million credit point can only be bought with three knives? The chance to cut off the ice and get lotus three times? One knives of 20 million credit points?"
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Chen Qinglian curled his lips, "The 70% profit of the Bell and Drum Tower is nothing more than this 'Ice-cutting Lotus' event held every night. As long as one person comes to try it every day, it will be a huge income."
"People who can buy three-bits with a credit score of 60 million are all big dogs!"
Sun Yan shook his head and looked at the [curling fire lotus] on the platform, but his heart was a little moved. From Chen Xi's actions just now, he vaguely grasped the possibility of cutting off the ice and picking up the lotus.
At this time, Chen Qinglian suddenly approached and whispered: "Little Brother Yan, do you want me to pay 60 million credit points? You can also cut it up with three cuts?"
"I'll go up and cut the ice to get lotus?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yan was stunned, but shook his head apart: "No, I definitely can't. If I'm fighting with someone, I'm better off. It's so difficult for me to cut off ice and get lotus, Sister Chen."
Chen Qinglian raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "I paid for it, what's there to worry about? Come on, little brother Yan, don't worry, even if it fails, I won't blame you. If it happens to be successful, then I can taste this [curling fire lotus]!"
Speaking of this, Chen Qinglian's true intention is fully exposed, showing the true nature of a professional foodie. He doesn't care about the 60 million credit points for food.
However, Sun Yan shook his head more resolutely and said repeatedly: "No, it really doesn't work! Sister Chen, don't make things difficult for me. I'm so old and have no talent in cooking. If you ask me to go up and cut off the ice and get lotus, isn't that a waste of credit?"
"It's really a shame!" Chen Qinglian showed disappointment and murmured, "Hmph, you kid are really brave. I really don't know how you removed the [Space Fusion High-Energy Bomb]. If it weren't for my sister, I was afraid that my identity would be exposed, so I wouldn't need you to come."
Faced with the girl's low complaints, Sun Yan could only smile bitterly. In fact, he did not want to go up and try it, but considering his current dual identity, on the one hand, he was an undercover agent sent by the military department to the Chen family, and on the other hand, Chen Qinglian's personal bodyguard.
No matter which identity is, Sun Yan is not suitable to be too arrogant and outspoken. For this reason, he encountered the provocation of the Chen family's bodyguard team in the morning, and he only avoided the real and did not have a real conflict.
While the two were whispering, several more guests stood up and swiped their cards to pay 60 million credit points, trying to cut off the ice and retrieve lotus. Unfortunately, none of them succeeded, and only a few shallow traces were left on the surface of the curling.
However, although no one succeeded, the atmosphere of the entire bell and drum tower was extremely warm. Anyone who saw such a scene that spent a lot of money would inevitably feel blood rushing.
After watching several guests try to cut off ice and get lotus, Sun Yan has seen some clues and grasped some of the characteristics of solidified liquid ice crystals.
The solidified liquid ice crystal is not only extremely hard, but also has extremely elastic surfaces and can withstand the impact of extremely strong forces. Indeed, if strong external forces are used, the solidified liquid ice crystal can also be destroyed, but if you do that, it will definitely destroy the fiery red lotus in the curling.
Only knives made of raw metal wood can smoothly cut the solidified liquid ice crystals. However, having a raw metal wood knife is only the basic condition for cutting off ice and taking lotus.
If you want to cut out the terrestrial red lotus from the curling, and only have three chances, you need to cut out the position of the fallen knife, the trajectory of the knife, the position of the pulling knife, the grasp of strength, etc. These aspects must be extremely accurate in order to cut out a terrestrial red lotus completely.
In an instant, Sun Yan grasped the key to cutting off the ice and obtaining lotus. In fact, he required the knife to carve out the outline of a fire lotus along the surface of the fiery red lotus within three swords, so that he could truly successfully complete the ice and obtaining lotus.
The difficulty of these three swords actually includes the extremely complex knife movement trajectory. This is no longer as simple as cooking skills, but involves the exquisite use of knife skills. No wonder no one has eaten [Current Fire Lotus] in the past 100 years.
While thinking, the people present saw that several people had returned without success, and gradually stopped and were unwilling to go up and spend money in vain. After the middle-aged chef asked three times in a row, no one was willing to go forward and try, the middle-aged chef looked up at the antique clocks on the wall, preparing to wait until 8 o'clock in the evening, and officially announced the end.
Seeing this, the diners present sighed regretfully, and many people sighed repeatedly that they came from other planets just to see the scene of cutting off ice and picking up lotus.
"My wife and I met here back then. Now, we have 7 grandchildren, but we still can't see anyone successfully cutting the curling!" A middle-aged man shook his head and felt regretful.
"Is no one successful tonight? After this month, I will be 650 years old. I don't know if I can see the moment of cutting off ice and lotus in my lifetime." An old man with white hair shook his head and sighed, sighing that he had not had much time.
"Oh, after this year, I will have to work in the Nilo Star of the northern galaxies. It will be difficult to come back once in the future. Could it be that no one can taste this [curling fire lotus]?" Another young man looked regretful.
Most of the people who come to visit the Bell and Drum Tower are addicted to the appetite. For these professional foodies, being able to see someone successfully cut off the ice and pick up lotus and taste the taste of [Current Fire Lotus] will have fulfilled their long-term wish.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong..., the antique mechanical bells on the wall of the bell and drum tower rang, and many guests stood up, shook their heads one by one, preparing to pay the bill and leave.
At this time, a person stood up in front of a table on the top floor and smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, I want to give it a try." Qingyue's voice slowly echoed in the bell and drum tower, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's eyes lit up.
I saw a slender boy standing up in front of a table on the west side of the top floor. His long golden hair was like a waterfall, his eyes were amber, like a pair of clear gems, wearing a light gray stand-up collar casual clothes, and his smile on his face was as gentle as winter, which made people feel warm when they were looking at it, and a warm feeling was growing.
While the boy stood up, it seemed like a rising sun was rising, and his whole body was filled with golden rays. Standing there quietly, he stood out from the crowd and was unique.
Staring at the boy, everyone present had an idea in their hearts: "There is such a perfect boy in this world!"
On the other side, Chen Qinglian said, "Wow, this kid looks very beautiful! Brother Yan, you should learn to learn this kid so that you can win the favor of women."
"That's strange, brother, I am also handsome and elegant. Do you need to imitate others?" Sun Yan retorted.
However, Sun Yan had to admit that this young man was extremely handsome and showed an incomparable sense of dignity in every move, as if he was born to be above and look down on all living beings. However, it did not make people feel disgusted. Such a romantic figure is comparable to that of Bai Yuxing's mysterious boy Belon.
The blonde boy walked to the fence on the top floor, held the handrail made of sandalwood, and smiled and said, "Please wait a moment and end it. I want to try it, okay?"
Although the boy spoke inquiring tone, it was impossible to refuse. The middle-aged chef was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Of course, it's okay. However, this gentleman, you should have seen the difficulty of cutting ice and picking lotus. Why not, you can pay 20 million credit points and cut it with a knife and try it."
The middle-aged chef's words were all for the sake of the young, so there was no way that the businessman was profit-oriented.
Seeing this scene, Sun Yan was shocked, and then he realized that this young man was born with a superior charm, which made people obey him unknowingly.
Next to him, Chen Qinglian also frowned slightly and murmured: "This little white face is quite not simple, strange! I know all the young talents of the eight underground forces in the southern galaxies. Why have I never heard of such a person? How did this kid get into Gu Fengxing?"
By the fence, the blonde boy smiled and shook his head, and said seriously: "I have been acquainted with the [curling fire lotus] of the Bell and Drum Tower for a long time. Besides, how can I make an exception because of me when I cut three-knife rules. Please let me try three-knife, thank you!"
The boy had a gentle smile, his teeth were crystal clear, and his eyes seemed to have golden light. He spoke softly, but there was no way to refuse.
The middle-aged chef quickly agreed, opened the button, and then a slide stretched out again, extending to the blonde boy.
Didi..., the display screen of the card swiper flashed again, freezing at the 60 million credit point. After the blonde boy finished swiping the card, he walked up the slide, came to the platform, stood at the small dining table, and picked up the light gold knife.
Suddenly, the entire bell and drum tower became quiet, and no one of the guests present spoke. For them, no matter whether the people who cut off the ice and fetched lotus, they all hoped that they would succeed. However, with the age of this blonde boy, the diners present did not have much hope.
Raising the light gold knife and looking at the crystal clear curling, the blonde boy looked very serious, as if he was staring at an exquisite work of art. However, this [curling fire lotus] is indeed exquisite and beautiful, which is breathtaking.
After a moment, the blonde nodded slightly, and a bright look surged in his eyes. When he shook his right wrist, the knife made of raw metal wood was cut down obliquely and vertically, with extremely casual movements, as if he could not use any force.
Seeing this scene, the people around him shook their heads frequently, and many sighed. The knife was soft and powerless, and it was unlikely that it would leave any trace on the curling.
A squeak..., a matte sound came out, and the light gold knife was cut into fine sand and easily penetrated into the curling. There seemed to be a layer of golden light on the surface of the blade.
