Chapter 294: The Mukbang Show Starts with Extremely Spicy Food, Randomly Making Entering Customers C
"Big Head Bro, why did you order so much? Have you forgotten we came here to challenge ourselves to be super spicy?"
Only after being reminded did Big Head suddenly remember this.
He had been so engrossed in the pleasure of selecting ingredients that he was only thinking about eating, but now he felt a little awkward, unsure whether to go forward or back down.
Finally, he stiffened his neck and said with a forced smile, "It's okay, I can handle spicy food, it's settled then! I'll choose extra spicy, plus minced garlic, chopped green onions, cilantro, and sesame paste!"
After he verbally explained the additional charges, a new total price was quickly generated on the order screen, and Big Head Brother completed the payment by scanning his face.
Although the other brothers didn't order as many dishes as Big Head, they still couldn't resist choosing nearly twenty different items.
When selecting a flavor, a special prompt will pop up, stating that only those who select "Extremely Spicy" are eligible to participate in the Spicy King Challenge. If the challenge is successful, half of the total price will be refunded.
"Wow, if I succeed in this challenge, all these dishes I ordered will only cost about forty coins. That's such a good deal!"
After thinking it over, Big Head felt much better, as if the embarrassment of ordering too much food had vanished.
"If I succeed, it's like I only have to pay nineteen coins out of my own pocket! Hey, looking at it this way, maybe I didn't count enough..."
"Let's take it easy for now and order a small amount to test the waters. It would be embarrassing if it got too spicy!"
These people came for the challenge, so they had no interest in choosing the cooking mode and directly selected the service of cooking and delivering the food.
Just as they were about to find a seat, Bai Mengran, who had been watching them from a distance, quickly came over to greet them.
They were warmly invited to sit in the "challenge seats" reserved for them.
The so-called "challenge seats" are actually the two most conspicuous four-person tables near the entrance.
Bai Mengran had made arrangements in advance, planning to have them start a heartfelt "mukbang" performance here, which was actually an extreme spicy hot pot challenge.
"Gentlemen, please have a seat! This Spicy King Challenge has no time limit. As long as you finish the entire bowl of super spicy hot pot, except for the broth, you'll be considered to have succeeded! So you can savor it at your leisure and enjoy it to your heart's content~"
Bai Mengran's voice trailed off, for this last sentence was the very essence of her idea for the event.
Her goal is not simply to challenge for the sake of challenge, but to ensure that diners enjoy the delicious food first and foremost, and then complete the challenge.
Bai Mengran had previously seen many videos online of mukbang videos challenging themselves to eat extremely spicy food. Many of these videos had timed and measured rules, seemingly deliberately praising the behavior of eating quickly and in large quantities, which she did not agree with.
Perhaps the internet does need some sensational content to attract attention, but this kind of behavior, which sacrifices one's health to gain traffic, is not something to be encouraged.
Therefore, the challenge she designed was not so harsh, but rather aimed at enjoying the food and welcoming those who love spicy food to take on the challenge according to their abilities.
"Hey, good, good, after hearing what you said, we feel much more at ease!"
Big Head Brother breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he only needed to finish one bowl.
He had previously worried that if they had to compete in speed, they would lose the leisurely enjoyment of the food.
After hearing the rules, the other underlings nodded in agreement, finally relieved, thinking that they didn't need to rush and could eat slowly.
They had barely sat down when a row of food delivery robots lined up in an orderly fashion, carrying plates of already cooked spicy hot pot, and steadily brought them over.
Wow! The aroma is so tempting! Is our hot pot ready already?
"Yes, the aroma is absolutely irresistible! Needless to say, it must taste amazing!"
"As soon as it was served, I couldn't stop drooling..."
The group had just taken chopsticks out of the food processor when they were surprised that all the ingredients they had ordered were cooked so quickly.
As soon as the super spicy hot pot was served, everyone took a deep sniff, instantly drawn in by the rich, spicy aroma wafting from the bowl!
It was approaching lunchtime, and more and more diners came after hearing the announcement.
Inside the vegetable selection area, the line for self-selection grew longer and longer, almost reaching the doorway.
Many customers who hadn't yet figured out what kind of food this new store sold were just hearing the announcement and wanted to come and check it out first.
Upon entering and seeing this scene, before I could even figure out what was going on, I was told by others that I needed to wait in line, so I inexplicably joined the queue...
After asking around, I finally understood why this restaurant had such a unique way of serving food. Seeing how popular it was, I decided to follow suit and try it out.
The seats for Big Head and his group of six were located in the middle, directly opposite the entrance, at the two most conspicuous tables.
When customers who have come from far and wide step into the store, almost without exception, their eyes are immediately drawn to those two tables.
These diners, already full of curiosity, naturally longed to see what this so-called mala tang looked like after it was cooked, by looking at the food on their tables.
So, as soon as Big Head Brother and his six friends' hot pot was served, the queue instantly erupted in a frenzy, with everyone discussing it amongst themselves.
"You may not know because you arrived late, but these people were specially invited by the Fairy Master to participate in the challenge!"
See those bowls of bright red mala tang? They're eating the spiciest level; how could ordinary people like us handle that…?
Someone overheard their conversation as they entered and excitedly shared it with others.
"Wow, it's so red! I can't even imagine how hot it is! I admire these guys for their guts!"
"Look, look! They've started eating!"
"They're eating so deliciously! It's making my mouth water..."
……
Among them, the bowl of spicy hot pot in front of Big Head Brother was piled up like a small mountain, and the bowl was also extra large.
Faced with this large bowl full of ingredients that made his mouth water, he didn't care that it was too hot to eat and couldn't wait to take a bite first.
The chopsticks reached into the bowl and quickly picked up a large, tempting piece of pork tenderloin.
The pork tenderloin, tightly coated in chili oil, gleams with a layer of translucent spicy oil. The fine, fibrous texture of the meat is a testament to the repeated pounding.
He put the meat in his mouth, and the domineering spicy flavor that had only lingered around his nose exploded in his mouth, and the intensely spicy sensation quietly began to emerge.
"Wow~ This smells amazing! The texture of this piece of meat is absolutely incredible, it's spicy and delicious!"
After a few bites, Big Head Bro was instantly captivated by the flavor of this spicy hot pot. The combination of numbing and spicy was simply beyond imagination!
"Mmm, big brother, these meatballs of mine are amazing! They're so bouncy and juicy!"
"And my potato slices, they've soaked up all the broth, they're even tastier than meat!"
"I tried these strips of green vegetables, I forgot what they're called, but they were so crunchy and satisfying. They absorbed the spiciness of the broth, making them flavorful and crunchy!"
The group of guys savored their food with relish, casually exchanging their thoughts as was their habit.
The diners who had been watching them closely were instantly whetted by their description, their mouths watering.
They just wanted the line ahead to move faster; they couldn't wait any longer! They wanted to try the spicy hot pot too!
