In daily life, we are often inseparable from food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is the foundation of our life. Eating is the most important thing in it. China is a country on the tip of the tongue. The pursuit of food has never stopped since ancient times, and now there are countless foods.
Among them, eight cuisines can best represent the characteristic cuisines of China, and Sichuan cuisine, which is famous for its changeable seasonings, is loved by countless friends.
The secret of "Sichuan cuisine" lies in the word "spicy". Because the local basin is rainy and the climate is humid, smart people find that pepper can drive away the cold, so eating spicy food has become a tradition. In China, there was a strange man who was famous for his spicy food, so-called "King of China Spicy". He used 5 Jin of Chili as a meal and served it with white wine. How is this strange man now?
First, the road to spicy king
This strange man named Li Yongzhi was born in a small village in xinzheng city, Henan Province in 196 1. Since he was a child, he likes to be naughty and doesn't like reading. His parents have no choice but to bring him up and send him out to work. After all, compared with this, he can see the first village at a glance, which is the best ending.
And Li Yongzhi has a characteristic, that is, he likes to put a little pepper when eating. This is a habit he has had since he was a child. The local diet is relatively light, and the staple food is steamed bread, noodles and so on. These are not his favorite foods. He likes spicy food, and he doesn't like spicy food. Even if you eat vegetables, you have to dip in Chili noodles to feel enjoyable.
When Li Yongzhi came of age, he packed his bags early and prepared to go to work in other places, for the sake of his future and not to burden his parents.
He found a decoration job in the construction industry. During this period, he studied hard and worked hard, and his decoration level gradually improved. He has gradually become a good local decorator, and he is not famous, but he can support himself and save some money to send home.
It is such an ordinary young man that even his parents didn't expect that he would be famous for eating spicy food in the future and eventually become popular all over the country.
Second, the spicy king is famous.
One summer in 2008, Li Yongzhi just finished the renovation of a family. It was noon, the peak time for lunch. He looked around for restaurants to solve his already rumbling stomach.
But at this time, the nearby restaurants are full, and there are no vacancies in them, so there is nothing for him.
Finally, in a corner shop, he found a vacancy. Call the boss to order as soon as you enter the door, and report whatever you want. Of course, there is one dish that he can't do without, and that is pepper.
Li Yongzhi, who ordered food, was waiting in his seat, but there were too many people at the meeting. Several people didn't provide food separately.
When it's his turn, it's probably afternoon, but he still has decoration tasks to pick up! We can't afford to lose time.
Thought of here, because time is short, and his stomach is really unbearable, he made a decision to put Chili sauce on the table to pad his stomach. /kloc-if the meal doesn't come up in 0/hour, he will go to work directly!
So he grabbed the hot sauce on the table and began to eat it. I didn't expect it to be his turn to eat after this bottle was finished, but he still felt hungry and wanted to eat another bottle to see if he could eat enough.
I didn't think it was very spicy when I ate it, but when he was eating the hot sauce on the table, everyone around him was attracted by him. Look how delicious he eats. He tasted the hot sauce on the table, but his hot mouth turned red.
Then the boss came over and saw two bottles of hot sauce on the table. Someone stared at Li Yongzhi strangely: "Friend, where did you get my hot sauce?" Why are these two bottles of peppers empty? When are they? Did someone steal hot sauce? "
Li Yongzhi looked up a little confused and said to the boss, "Boss, don't be wrong. I ate all the hot sauce on the table. Isn't it for people to eat? " I was really hungry, so I padded my stomach with hot sauce first. Do not believe, friends who eat around here can see it. "
The owner of this small restaurant was surprised. He didn't expect that someone would eat his hot sauce as a meal. You know, he was born in Sichuan, and he likes spicy food. Even his own restaurant cooks Sichuan food, which is a spicy business. His hot sauce tastes not simple. In order to save costs, hot sauce is extremely spicy. Even people who like spicy food won't be spicy at all, but they won't eat it again.
The boss doesn't believe me, but after all, he is open for business. He made a condition that if you can finish a bottle of hot sauce for dinner in front of me these days, I will give it to you for free.
As soon as Li Yongzhi heard the free bill, he felt that his body had strength. Isn't it just a bottle of hot sauce? Look at me before you. Eat it right away.
Three times, five times, twice, I finished a whole bottle of hot sauce. The boss in front was dumbfounded and gave a thumbs-up directly, indicating that he was awesome!
Tell Li Yongzhi that his hot sauce is very special and very spicy. According to Li Yongzhi's level, he can take part in the "Spicy Eating Competition".
Knowing that there are still people interested in "eating spicy food", Li Yongzhi found his own goal, that is, to be the strongest person on the road to eating spicy food.
Third, spicy king is not spicy.
After many years, he finally achieved the goal set in those years, and was called "China Spicy King".
During this period, he participated in countless competitions. In 2009, I participated in the Hunan Spicy Challenge, crushed the audience with my own efforts and won the championship.
20 12' s participation in Hunan Satellite TV's competition program "Who is Fighting Frontal" caused a sensation, which made more people realize that there is such an able person who can eat spicy food in China.
20 14 was invited by CCTV to participate in the large-scale reality show "Taste of China", which swept the opponent and won the gold medal.
In the same year, he challenged the Guinness Book of World Records and the world's hottest devil pepper, and finally ate 32 in one breath, killing his opponent and winning the title of "China Spicy King".
However, in life, the "spicy king" is not spicy, but a generous old man. Although he is almost 60 years old now, he still uses spicy sauce with white wine in his daily life until one day, when his health went wrong, the doctor warned him never to eat spicy food like this again. In order to be healthy, spend your old age with your family.
The old man in Li Yongzhi put down his pursuit of spicy food, and began to put all his energy into the Internet, and began to broadcast live to promote delicious peppers to the audience.

Although the old man in Li Yongzhi can no longer munch on Chili peppers, his fame still exists.
Every year, countless people pursue the title of "China Spicy King". As long as this title still exists, he will always have a place in the field of spicy food.
If he hadn't participated in the spicy contest, he might still be an ordinary decorator, but there wouldn't be such a famous China Spicy King.
Who can tell the gains and losses here? You know, once you gain and lose, you will share weal and woe for a thousand years. ?
