Do you think I'm kidding, eating chili peppers as melon seeds and chili peppers as snacks?
Such figures do exist in China.
No matter where you are, there will be chili peppers, whether it is Sichuan and Chongqing chili peppers, or Yunnan chili peppers, or even India's devil spicy, no exception.
He is Li Yongzhi, known as the "Chinese Spicy King".
He eats jaw-dropping spicy food, and when he eats it, he eats 12 Indian devil peppers of 6,500 degrees.
Despite her love of spicy food, she suffered severe physical damage in her later years.
Li Yongzhi, who has been famous for many years, replaces rice with chili pepper and replaces water with liquor, how is he doing now?
With the rise of self-leading platforms, people have shown their talents on these platforms.
Celebrities and influencers alike want a piece of the platform together.
Li Yongzhi, known as the "Chinese Spicy King" in 2018, also signed a contract with a company and opened a self-leading account.
What the company arranges for him to eat is what the audience wants to watch, and the content of the live broadcast is similar every day.
Li Yongzhi grabbed the chili pepper and ate it without hesitation, satisfying the audience's wishes.
Li Yongzhi will eat chili peppers and drink alcohol at the same time to meet the audience's expectations for him to eat chili peppers.
Li Yongzhi has been like this for a long time, and his body has begun to have a series of problems.
However, before this, Li Yongzhi used to be quite arrogant and often boastful.
Chili peppers were anything he dared to eat.
When it comes to places that like spicy food, Sichuan-Chongqing and Hunan must be at the top.
However, no one thought that Henan in the Central Plains could emerge a "Chinese spicy king".
Li Village in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, was the birthplace of Li Yongzhi, and Zhengzhou was not as prosperous as it is now.
Since he was a child, he has loved spicy foods, whether it is vegetables or noodles, and chili peppers must be added to satisfy his taste.
Eating spicy food is not a special thing, because many people like to eat spicy food, so Li Yongzhi also turned a blind eye to it.
Li Yongzhi has been an honest man since he was a child, and he rarely worries his parents when he is at home.
The teachers praised him and never slacked off in his studies.
After school, I often use my free time to help my family with farm work or household chores.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yongzhi has grown up** and has reached the age of marriage and childbirth.
In 1980, the way of love was not as free as it is advocated by today's society.
In those simple days, most couples were united by acquaintance on a blind date.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Yongzhi are no exception.
In 1983, after being introduced by an acquaintance, Li Yongzhi got acquainted with a Mu woman from the next village.
Soon after, they entered the stage of marriage after being together for a while.
Although the life of the two is not rich after marriage, they live a stable and steady life.
Li Yongzhi took some work outside to supplement the family's expenses, while his wife helped the family with some farm work.
With the birth of the child, the pressure hit Li Yongzhi.
The two adults can barely make ends meet, but now they have a "gold-eating beast" who is unwilling to let their children suffer, no matter how difficult it is.
As soon as the child was born, Li Yongzhi did not dare to slack off for a moment.
Packing up, he got up and went to the city to work, while his wife stayed at home to take care of the children.
During the day, Li Yongzhi works hard, while at night he does some temporary work.
I thought that if I could earn more money, my family would be richer, and my children might be able to afford school fees.
Every parent wants their child to grow up safely and healthily.
It is indeed difficult for Li Yongzhi to realize such a simple wish.
Li Yongzhi's son was in a car accident in 2005 and was rushed to the hospital.
Li Yongzhi immediately put down the work at hand and rushed to the hospital to deal with the sudden accident.
How Li Yongzhi wished he was lying in a hospital bed, not his son.
Although his son's life was saved, he lost his legs and was no longer able to walk.
However, this is only part of the current dilemma.
You will need to pay for daily hospitalization, various examinations, and surgery.
This family, which was not wealthy in the first place, made matters worse.
The family was financially constrained, so they had to borrow money from relatives and neighbors, and when they had no time to take care of them, they went out to work multiple jobs.
In order to save money, Li Yongzhi often chooses not to eat.
Hungry, he bought a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall to fill his stomach.
Whenever the noodles are not yet served, he can't wait to pick up the chili peppers on the table and eat them.
At that time, I didn't realize that there was anything wrong with my body, but I thought it tasted very good.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Yongzhi really realized that he had a "special function".
Li Yongzhi and his co-workers went to the day of dinner.
While waiting for the meal, as usual, I began to taste the peppers next to it.
When the boss served the meal, he found that a pot full of chili peppers was empty.
When the boss saw this, he immediately became so anxious that his eyes were red.
You can eat chili peppers, but don't steal them, hurry up and get them all out.
Li Yongzhi's face was full of grievances.
Boss, I didn't steal it, I was so hungry that I ate everything.
As soon as she saw that Li Yongzhi didn't take out the chili peppers, she immediately became angry.
Have you eaten? You actually eat chili peppers, do you think I'll believe it? If you don't take the pepper out today, I'll call the police immediately and arrest you.
As soon as the boss finished speaking, he grabbed Li Yongzhi and stopped him from leaving, and called the police.
The police arrived shortly and began to understand the situation.
No matter how the police and the boss asked, Li Yongzhi insisted that he only ate it, not stole it.
The workers said that although they agreed that Li Yongzhi had indeed eaten, the boss still did not believe it.
Look up and talk to the boss:
So, if I eat this plate of chili peppers in front of you, will it prove my innocence?
The boss's face was full of surprise.
If you can eat all this plate of peppers, I will not only apologize to you, but I will also waive the cost of your meal.
After Li Yongzhi finished speaking, he immediately picked up the chopsticks and sent the red chili pepper into his mouth.
The audience and boss next to them were stunned by this move.
"Spicy" is a kind of pain, but Li Yongzhi doesn't care, his face doesn't change, his heart doesn't beat.
He didn't seem to be eating chili, but ordinary rice.
The boss was deeply impressed and was impressed by the fact that it was the first time he had seen someone so good at eating spicy food.
When the police saw this, they immediately realized that it was a misunderstanding, reconciled on the spot, and restored Li Yongzhi's innocence.
After the crowd of onlookers dispersed, a man stepped forward.
After introducing myself, I learned that he turned out to be a journalist.
Li Yongzhi has just recorded eating chili peppers**, and is ready to be on the Internet**.
With Li Yongzhi's consent, the reporter suggested that he could participate in the competition, and his performance was really outstanding.
Li Yongzhi's ** eating chili peppers quickly spread through the Internet ** and attracted widespread attention.
At this moment, the wheel of fate began to turn.
Soon, a number of ** and the program team found the person concerned, hoping to invite him for an interview.
In 2012, Li Yongzhi was invited to participate in a program on Hunan TV, in which he tried to eat the world's hottest chili pepper.
During the challenge, it is forbidden to drink water or go backwards, and the food must be swallowed whole.
This kind of side dish is simply a weapon for Li Yongzhi, who often eats peppers of various sizes.
As you can imagine, Lee Yongzhi successfully accepted the challenge and received considerable attention as a result.
CCTV's "Taste of China", "You Are the Most Talented" and "China's Got Talent" and other programs subsequently invited him to participate.
Li Yongzhi constantly tries to challenge all kinds of chili peppers in the world, which also makes his reputation as the "king of chili peppers" famous.
However, these peppers were insignificant in the face of peppers that would later challenge the Guinness Book of World Records.
Lee Yongzhi travels to India again in 2021 and he will face an extraordinary chili challenge, and this chili is definitely not ordinary.
It is said that this chili pepper, called "Indian ghost pepper", has a spicy degree of about 6,500 degrees, which is thousands of times higher than that of ordinary chili products.
Don't even dare to touch it, let alone taste it.
It's not a pepper at all, it's just like biochemical.
Before Li Yongzhi, an old Indian man once set a world record for "Indian ghost pepper".
This older man can eat 5 devil peppers in one bite.
Li Yongzhi's record is 12, which directly breaks the Guinness World Record.
It has successfully won the reputation of "China's Pepper King", which is worthy of its name.
Perhaps Li Yongzhi himself never imagined that his preference for chili peppers would help him achieve success in his career and gain fame and fortune.
However, many people are also worried about whether Li Yongzhi's consumption of chili peppers is really harmless to the body?
Li Yongzhi once responded that he had gone to the hospital for a check-up, and the results showed that he was in good physical condition and had not found any problems such as stomach ulcers caused by eating chili peppers.
If it continues, will this cumulative situation have an impact on the body as Li Yongzhi said?
This is not the case.
Li Yongzhi is now over 50 years old, and many of his body's functions are no longer as good as when he was young.
Later, Li Yongzhi signed a contract with a brokerage company, and his stomach was already burned due to frequent consumption of chili peppers and liquor.
Li Yongzhi was witnessed by passers-by many times to go to the hospital for treatment because of excessive consumption of spicy food, and was admitted to the hospital with stomach pain.
Although you can make a lot of money by growing chili peppers, health is the most important thing.
