Euphoric Food

The room was silent. Little Caihong stood unnerved by what she said and continued to stare daggers towards her elder sister. Fen Chun was just as stunned as the rest at her 14-year-old younger sisters declaration.

She was only stunned for a second before she quickly retorted with a smug smile. "Future husband? Little sister you sure can joke. Darling here is obviously my future husband. Look at how close we are already."

Caihong eyes flashed with fury at the provocation from her elder sister. She looked at them and saw her squeezed his arm even more within her breasts, as if to show its something that only she can do.

Without saying a word, she rushed towards them. She wiggled her way under the table popping out between his legs, before quickly using her arms to push herself onto his lap.

With her legs going around his hips she grabs goes for his remaining free arm, but sees that its currently being used to drink. So instead makes the decision to hug his chest, with her head next to his heart.

She turns to Chun and sticks out her tongue with a smug smile as if to say 'You can have his arm, but I have his whole body and a special seat.'

The two are at odds with glares being shot between each suggesting that their position was superior. Fen Chang on the other hand just ignored them and let them do as they please. He looked around to check his family's reactions.

His parents were sitting at their seats stifling their laughter at their argument while his brothers were looking at him with confusion, and a slight bit of pity. They eventually just ignored their antics as they had always argued over something.

His father quickly gets into a conversation with his brothers about their journey, while his mother sits back and listens in, occasionally speaking to his elder sister. When she isn't silently glaring at Caihong.

Food soon arrived and a heavenly smell soon wafted through the air. Fengs ears quickly perked up and his nose started twitching. He stopped speaking with his father as his eyes lock onto the door that is opening.

Once the doors where open many beautiful maids came walking through with over 10 carts filled with food. While Fengs eyes where glued to the steam rising from the carts, his eldest brother, Zang had his eyes on the maids.

Different from how most would react to the beautiful maids, his eyes didn't show anything like lust or admiration for their beauty, instead it showed confusion.

Fen Zung, his father knowing his eldest son pretty well cleared up his thoughts. "Zang, son. I know you must be thinking "Since when did mother allow father to have such beautiful maids hired". Don't worry these aren't my maids. These are your youngest brother's maids, who he found and trained. I'm sure you can see most of their cultivation are between stage 1 and 2. This is the result of his master giving out some resources so his disciple can have maids that are actually useful.

Your mother still doesn't allow me to have any good-looking maids, with the only few being her personal ones. Sigh, your brother has turned into woman lover. Enough to make even my prime women loving days before meeting your mother look like nothing in comparison. I feel both slightly disappointed but also jealous that he lives the dream I used to have for myself. If I didn't fall in love with your mother, I might have ended up similar."

Hearing this Zangs eyes open to insane levels as he looks weirdly at his younger brother. Zung however wasn't able to continue his story about his prime as a clear slap noise was made. It was his wife Hai Rong, who smacked the back of her husband's head in anger. Although her face had a small unnoticeable smile, after his declaration about him putting his dream away for the sake of their love.

Chang seeing his brothers look and hearing his father's words, guiltily smiles towards his eldest brother. "Brother Zang, I hope you don't judge me too much. I am still a young man who likes to enjoy mortal pleasures."

Hearing the words, he just sighs similar to his father over the behaviour of his younger brother. This didn't change his opinion of his brother. He was still his precious younger brother, and he would always think that and support him. Even if he did bad things.

His second brother, Feng didn't hear any of the conversation as his eyes where still glued to the covered plates being laid out over the table. He could barely contain himself as a small drop of dribble fell from his mouth and onto the napkin he has placed on his knees.

The lids where soon removed from the plates, revealing the food littering the table with even more steaming plates still on the trays ready to replace the eaten ones of the table.

The family had the morning toast before his father ate the first bite. It was the royal tradition for the head of the house to take the first bite before the rest can eat.

Not knowing where to start first, Fengs eyes darted around the place with uncertainty. Chang stepped in and guided his brother through the dishes on the table.

"Brother Feng let me introduce the dishes to you so you can decide on what to start with. First let me tell you this combination on your plate is what's called a full English breakfast.

The long-rounded item is called a sausage and made from the meat of grade 2 mountain trotting pigs. This item is very rich in meat and fats, but is also combined with different herbs and spices during the processing. It is then fried till the outside is golden crispy brown while the inside melts in your mouth, exploding with the salty meat and a verity of herbs.

The triangular golden-brown thing is called a hash brown. It is chopped up spiritual potato which is the fried creating a crispy outside and a mushy potato inside. Personally, I like a small amount of pepper on top but its personal preference.

Next there are 2 types of egg for the dish, both of which are made from the grade 2, rainbow flash chicken. The first is scrambled egg which is in the pot in the middle of the table, although you have had normal scrambled egg, this one is cooked with herbs and done a special way. The next egg is the one that's on your plate. It's the flat white base with the yellow spot. This is fried egg. There are 2 ways to have fried egg, either runny or fully cooked, both are on the plate for you to try.

Underneath the egg is the toast which is whole white bread made from spiritual wheat and is ground using high grade rocks that have Qi imbued into them, enhancing the Qi and flavour of the wheat. The bread takes many days to make as it has to have multiple rest and proving periods. The toast is crunchy but because its quite thick when you reach the middle its soft and light. The combination in a single bite makes the bread really nice, especially if you add some of the runny egg yolk.

These long strips here are the bacon, which is made from the same pig as the sausages. These are crispy and incredibly delicious. They spend days being smoked using high grade wood from chopped down fruit trees and salted using pure sea salt.

The cooked red sliced things are a new vegetable called a tomato, and is grown from a grade 2 plant. Tomatoes are very juicy and have a very unique natural flavour.

You know what mushrooms are so no need to explain those, except they are just cooked differently. The beans in the sauce are baked beans and are very nice, along with the sauce. I would suggest combining the bread, runny egg yolk and a few beans and its sauce. It's a great combination.

Now those are the main things on your plate. In the middle there are few extras. These round things with the egg on top are called eggs benedict. This egg in the container is a hard-boiled egg and is very nice with some salt on it, after obviously peeling away the egg shell.

There are a few other singular things such as some black pudding, different sauces like the brown sauce, barbeque sauce and my personal favourite tomato ketchup. Then mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar if you want it, though I don't recommend it for the dishes right now.

Now brother Feng, you have a big decision to make. What are you going to try first?"

Even though he now knows what all the items are his eyes still show indecisiveness at what to eat first. He was about to ask the others about what they would eat first but he soon saw that unlike him they had already started eating with him being the odd one out.

He got nervous as every second not eating is more of the flavour and heat that will keep being released from the food. Looking at all the items he struggled so much, each item tempting him to eat first. His eyes eventually started tearing up at how he couldn't choose, all the while the others were digging in, looking at him like he's weird.

Eventually he just closed his eyes and smashed down his fork grabbing the first item before eating it. The flavour exploded in his mouth and the sound of small cracks sounded within his mouth. His random guess landed him on the bacon and his mind was thankful for it. His eyes clouded over with euphoria over the taste of something so extravagant, as a few tears came from his eyes over the taste.

He grabbed more, and more, quickly devouring all the bacon on his plate. He then tried the other things. Each food item gave him a euphoric expression, almost like he was about to orgasm.

The rest of the family watched him with a weird look in their eyes. Chang couldn't help but make connections between his brothers' expression and a food anime he had watched.

He had to put that thought on hold though, as another fight broke out between Caihong and Chun. Both arguing over who gets to feed him food. Because it was disturbing his own breakfast he had to get involved and sorted it out by allowing them to take turns.

Breakfast was an eventful time, more so than normal. But Chang couldn't help but smile a little inwards as he had never previously had the friends or family to experience things like this. His goal to live his life and enjoy it, was even more embedded into his heart, with his goal to experience more like this with friends, family and loved ones. He wanted to enjoy the pleasures of being alive.
