Collectors in Food Captives

Chapter 1 A New Beginning

In the room made of ice, the floor was covered with animal skins, and countless men snored like thunder.

Zhang Wei stood up suddenly and looked around. The strange environment made Zhang Wei feel dazed for a while.

Bursts of white smoke dissipated into water vapor, and the temperature was frighteningly low.

"Didn't I die from the spirit of eating halberds...how could..."

"It seems that the Treasure Palace still has secrets that I haven't developed yet."

Feeling the strong heartbeat and strong body, Zhang Wei finally believed in the fact of traveling again.

Looking at the thick leather jacket on his body and the bedding made of unknown animals, even so, he still felt a bone-chilling chill.

Breathing out a mouthful of hoarfrost, Zhang Wei frowned and said, "At least minus 20 degrees... is already the standard for low-temperature refrigerators."

"Why do these people live here?"

The igloo is usually kept warm. Zhang Wei also went to the extreme north to hunt for ingredients and lived with the local Eskimos.

But the whistling wind in the ear will take away all the accumulated heat.

"This level of ventilation... people don't last long."

Close your eyes, fragments of information emerge one by one.

Ice hell... Dormant volcano... Gather all the ingredients in the world and freeze them here... Food display window...

Capture Level...Gourmet Cell...Gourmet Hunter...

Think for a long time.

"A prisoner of delicious food?"

"There is a beast whose whole body is covered with top-quality Frost Flesh..."

"The tree that grows king crab meat all year round, the meat is firm and plump..."

"A steady stream of mellow and sweet amber brandy springs..."

Comparing the comics from his previous life with the memories left in his physical body, Zhang Wei has basically determined where he is.

"Is it the most glorious era of chefs... Really good."

Wrapping herself tightly with the animal skin quilt, she lay down with a satisfied and longing smile, and soon fell asleep.

After an unknown period of time, the supervisors broke into the dormitory beating gongs and drums and armed with whips.

"Room 455, get up and wash!"

If the men in the animal skin quilt were a little slow, they would be whipped up.

Occasionally, those who remained motionless, the supervisors could only take one more look and inform the staff to lift the corpse.

Here, every night, someone can't stand it.

Zhang Wei followed the crowd and walked all the way. No matter the walls or the roof, they were all chiseled from a whole block of ice, which can be called supernatural workmanship.

Chatting with passers-by, Zhang Weicai knew that the place where everyone lived was not a snow house, but a space dug inside a huge glacier.

As far as the eye can see, the gathered crowd gradually broke through thousands...

"The space in this glacier is as wide as a stadium, and the height..."

Zhang Wei looked up, not knowing where the vertical rope ladder led.

Here, more than one floor!
"This kind of building scale is extremely difficult to complete in the 21st century. Is it the extraordinary power exclusive to gourmet captives..."

The water for washing is freezing cold, and you can touch a lot of ice scum when you scoop it up with your hands.

After simple cleaning, Zhang Wei received breakfast with his ID card.

An energy bar made of chocolate, butter, starch and salt, tastes pretty good, but it's a bit hard to freeze.

Looking at the packaging above, one stick has 800 calories.

"Ronnie Hugh at table 107."

"Yes!"

"118 Zhang Wei."

"Yes!"

"119 Kameda Yakuza."

"Yes!"

"Black hair at table 120."

After a while, no one answered, the supervisor picked up a pen and drew a line on the notebook.

Obviously, there is no need to prepare dinner for Hei Mao.

There are a lot of tables and tables, and various cutting boards are placed. Zhang Wei and other handymen have to do the first step of processing the ingredients here.

Icefield yaks weighing several tons dragged the plow, and supervisors unloaded sealed boxes from it.

The cost of these preservation boxes is very high, and while the storage period can be extended, it can also preserve its deliciousness to the greatest extent.

A large number of rare ingredients are distributed, and any one taken out can be regarded as the treasure of the town by ordinary restaurants.

"Hey! It's Grimace Mushroom again!"

A wail came from the next table, it was the fat and fat Kameda Yakuza.

Not surprisingly, Zhang Wei also got this stuff.

Inside the fresh-keeping box, three or four brightly colored large mushrooms lay in it, and the big blood-red grimace on the mushroom umbrella made people shudder.

The dense dry round sacs on the stem contain highly toxic spores.

[Ding~I found that the ingredients can be obtained! 】

【Ghostface Mushroom】

[Capture Level: 2]

[Growth place: Vicious Rainforest of Hengduan Mountains]

[Introduction: Mushrooms that grow in poisonous rainforests. The untreated spores are highly toxic. They are high-grade ingredients that only gourmet hunters can obtain.The rare seasoning in the soup, just a few can make the soup freshness to a higher level………]

[Food effect: rich in cellulose, vitamins, etc.Nourishing the body and nourishing yang, strengthening the body and strengthening the kidney. 】

Zhang Wei let out a light snort, and said a little playfully, "The Treasure Hall was actually triggered?"

"It's the first time for this picky guy to take the initiative."

Taking a deep breath, he softly called the Treasure Hall in his mind.

In the next second, the wall of ice and snow disappeared.

Flying eaves, brackets, black tiles and red columns...

On the huge plaque of the palace, there are three big characters of "Treasure Hall".

The dark hall can't be seen at a glance. It looks like the exhibition hall of the Forbidden City, and it also looks like the emperor's hall.

Among them, the surface table, stove, sink...etc. kitchen facilities are all available.

There is a never-ending flame burning on the stove, and the clear water seems to be endless.

There are more than [-] booths erected on both sides of the main hall, most of which are dishes, and only a small amount of top-level ingredients can be entered.

They are all the collections that Zhang Wei is most proud of.

Yellow-lipped fish maw along the southeast coast...

Liao ginseng, the first of the eight treasures of the sea...

Kobe A5's Frost Beef...

Italian Alba White Truffles…

Blue Flag Tuna...

Everything that is taken out can drive diners and chefs crazy.

For example, ordinary French foie gras, matsutake, etc., did not respond at all to Zanzangdian.

And these things that diners and chefs dream of are nothing but ordinary things to Zhang Wei.

All the ingredients and dishes that are included in the collection hall will be perfectly copied after a certain period of time.

Repeated storage will improve the ingredient information, not only the quality of the storage will be on par with the highest level, but the duplication cycle will also be shortened.

For example, in the previous life, Zhang Wei obtained blue flag tuna four times, and the copying time was shortened from 30 days to [-] and a half days.

The bluefin tuna in the display cabinet has the advantages of four, and is extremely fat.

In addition to ingredients and cooking, Zhang Wei also has kitchen utensils of the world's top craftsmanship in his collection.

Clothes, spatulas, knives, etc...

These are Zhang Wei's full memories, each of which has been poured with considerable effort.

The mind withdrew from the treasure hall, only 30 seconds had passed outside.

The flow of time inside and outside is ten times faster.

Looking at Kameda Yakuza aside, he was handling the Grimace mushroom with a full face of caution.

The knife skills are surprisingly good. In the previous life, the three-star chef basically had no major problems.

But even so, he was still powerless in the face of Grimacing Mushroom, and his frozen fingers even trembled slightly.

"Hey, table 118, don't be in a daze!"

"I don't need to say more about the punishment for delaying the construction period, right?"

Zhang Wei smiled lightly: "Don't worry, learn from the experience of your peers, it won't take long."

The words are neither humble nor overbearing, and the tone of voice is also confident and relaxed.

In this level of fortified ice hell... it is really rare.

The supervisor was a little displeased.

Officials crush people to death at the first level, isn't this group of workers respectful?

Just a handyman who died at some point!

The supervisor is also the bottom layer of the ice hell.

In addition to not having to work, their daily life is no different from handymen like Zhang Wei, and the cold will also kill them.

But fortunately, with the comparison of labor, it seems that life is still passable.

The supervisor said quietly: "If you can't complete the task today, you will have to be whipped!"

Under the inexplicable eyes of the supervisor, Zhang Wei picked up the ghost face mushroom again.

Taking a deep breath, while thinking about the reminder information of the Treasure Hall, he recalled the handling method of Kameda Yakuza in his mind.

"Like darkness... The rhizome is moist... Cut the knife along the grain of the stem..."

"Gently...press and hold the mushroom umbrella..."

"The bacterial sac has a thin film... Pull gently from top to bottom..."

With no other distractions, Zhang Wei put all his physical and mental energy on processing the ingredients in front of him.

He rubbed his frozen hands to make them flexible.

Ignoring the surroundings, the spirit gathers in one place.

The thread knife in his hand slowly pierces the gap between the round sacs, and uses the sharp steel wire to goug out the round sacs...

"Whoo~"

Completed!

The first time I dealt with it, the speed was no less than that of Kameda Yakuza!

After all, Zhang Wei was the man who had once crowned the Blue Star and the Spirit of the Halberd Eater!

[Recording complete! 】

[Obtain the ingredient ghost face mushroom, copy time: 100 days]

so long?
The more high-grade ingredients, the longer the copying time.

What Zhang Wei took the longest to copy was the yellow-lipped swim bladder at the Zhuhai port of the Yangtze River, which he only obtained once in his life.

Blue Star's most top-notch ingredients only took 35 days to copy.

As expected of the gourmet world, it was easily crushed!
Zhang Wei didn't know that ingredients with a catch level were extremely rare in this world.

How could all the ingredients be sent here?

But it doesn't matter, repeated storage can reduce the copying time, there are still many mushrooms.

Seeing the remaining three Grimace Mushrooms, Zhang Wei was rarely interested...
