As the sun goes down, Master Qin's small shop is still crowded, but Master Qin is not anxious at all. Instead, he is studying and trying the recipes of the eight major cuisines in his half-awake state.
The waking half is spent reading comic books, and the dreaming half is studying recipes.
This is called multitasking.
Although Qin Yuelou was not good at cooking in his previous life, once he became financially free, he had more time for tinkering.
After all, the word "Lingming" in the Lingming Stone Monkey is not just a decoration. It naturally has a very high bonus to intelligence and hands-on ability, and he also carries with him all the magical kitchen utensils specially made for him by the heavenly craftsmen.
These eight magical kitchen utensils were specially shaped to have no intelligence and were completely subject to Qin Yuelou's control. Although their abilities are not very powerful, they can be said to be legendary kitchen utensils when used by cooks.
There are knives that can restore the freshness of ingredients, knives that can clean the ingredients directly, and jars that can speed up fermentation...
But Qin Yuelou doesn't use them yet, because he always feels that he has to change the shape of these kitchen utensils, otherwise he will get a cross-border lawyer's letter.
"Master Qin, is there still no business today?" the young scholar asked Qin Yuelou, carrying a book basket.
The scholar's surname is Wei and his first name is Jieyuan. This name is quite popular, but perhaps because his own destiny cannot suppress this name, Wei Jieyuan is still just a scholar until now.
Wei Xiucai was the teacher who came to "support education" in the "private school" in the slum. The so-called "private school" was actually a shack that had been built before Qin Yuelou came. This shack was cold in winter and warm in summer, and leaked rain and wind. Some people were literate.
There are old people here teaching those little kids how to read, but the literacy rate is also very limited.
Wei Xiucai's "support education" is also free of charge. As for how he came to come to the slums to support education, he did not say, but most people will call him Mr. Wei when they see him. After all, they teach children to read and read for free, so no
It’s unjustifiable to give face.
"There's no business, I don't care." Qin Yuelou stood up from the pony, "Do you want to eat something?"
"Me? Okay." Wei Xiucai thought for a while, found a seat and sat down, "Let's have a bowl of noodles. How about beef ramen? Master Qin, can you make it?"
"I've eaten too much, and even if I don't know it, I can almost do it." Qin Yuelou smiled, "Wei Xiucai, look at what this is?"
As Qin Yuelou spoke, he took out his pocket watch and waved it in front of Wei Xiucai.
"What is this?" Wei Xiucai asked Qin Yuelou.
"It's hypnosis. It allows you to express your deepest desires."
"Just swinging around..." "Boom!" "Snoring..."
"It's true that I can't hypnotize, but I can marry a dream." Qin Yuelou used the skill of marrying a dream and saw Wei Xiucai's dream clearly.
There are different opinions on the causes of dreams, but it is understandable that the source of material for dreams comes from what one sees and hears.
The fantasy when reading novels, the intuition when watching comics and movies, when all kinds of materials are combined together, a dream will be formed, but the dream is illogical and too bizarre. It will naturally take some time to use the dream-marrying technique to explore it.
Just guide.
In this way, Qin Yuelou may be called the master of stealing dreams.
——
When he was young, he was weak and sickly. Fortunately, he met a Taoist from the Immortal Way. The Taoist priest had white hair and a childish face, and he had a rather unearthly appearance. He took out a jujube that was round and plump with a fishy smell from his pocket, soaked it in water and let him drink it. Then he passed by it every day.
After this conditioning, my body and bones gradually got better.
So he thought, wouldn't it be great if he wanted to worship that Taoist priest as his teacher, and then transform from a human into an immortal, transcending life and death?
But the Taoist priest gave him a test-like problem.
That is, no matter what you see, you must not make a sound no matter what. After all, those are just illusions during cultivation.
He nodded in agreement, after all, he wanted to become an immortal.
So the old Taoist priest took him to a certain mountain top and taught him the method of breathing.
Those who eat breath will not die.
But within a few days, the Taoist priest disappeared, leaving him alone on the top of the mountain, living in a cottage and practicing Qi-breathing every day.
Then he met a general wearing armor. The general was very powerful. He led hundreds of elite soldiers to the top of the mountain and asked him to invite the old Taoist priest out.
He remained silent, and the general became angry and ordered his head to be chopped off.
Then the soul returns to the underworld, is sentenced according to what he did during his lifetime, and is then thrown into hell to undergo torture.
He remained silent.
Then the ghosts and monsters in the underworld captured the souls of his parents and tortured them for fun in front of him.
Although he shed tears of blood and cried bitterly, he still did not make a sound.
Seeing that this was not going to work, he intensified the punishment until he was tortured to the point where he was thrown into reincarnation. However, after reincarnation, he became a girl.
Up to this point, he still kept in mind the old Taoist priest's advice.
As time passed, he still didn't speak, so he was regarded as a mute by the people around him.
Even though she is a mute girl, she still wants to get married.
However, before getting married, he was humiliated by a strong man. Although he looked in pain, he still remained silent.
Even though she married into someone else's family, she still suffered a lot of cold looks and bullying.
But the belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I can’t tell whether it’s from a bastard or...whose,
During the delivery, although the pain was heartbreaking, he still endured it and the child was born healthy.
He looked at his child lovingly, but still couldn't let go of his ambition to become a fairy, so he still played the role of a mute girl.
As the children grew older, he became more and more at odds with his husband's family.
Until the husband drank too much, his anger finally broke out. He insulted him as a person who didn't know how to keep chastity, and scolded him that he should commit suicide when he was raped by a strong man. He even scolded the child as a bastard.
So the husband picked up the child and threw the child out.
The child's head fell on the stone, and his brain immediately burst, and blood spattered several steps away.
It also splashed on his face.
"Ah! Child!"
He loved his son so much that he finally couldn't help crying.
But immediately, he was pulled by the hair by the old Taoist priest and pushed into the water tank.
When he pulled his hair and let it fall together, he found himself sitting on the top of the mountain again, practicing the method of breath-taking.
The old Taoist priest was also in front of him.
It was dawn, and suddenly purple flames shot up on the thatched roof, and in a blink of an eye the house was raging and burned down.
The old Taoist priest said: "You unlucky boy, you have made me miserable! In your heart, happiness, anger, sorrow, fear, evil and desire have all been forgotten. Only love for you has not been forgotten. The guy in the illusion threw you
If you had kept quiet when you were a child, my elixir would have been refined, and you would have become an immortal. Alas, immortality is so rare! My elixir can be refined again, but you still have to go back to
Go to the human world and continue to practice diligently from now on!"
Then, the old Taoist priest disappeared.
Although he felt like a dream, he regretted what he had done.
But he is also more obsessed with immortality.
——
In the blink of an eye, Wei Xiucai woke up. Qin Yuelou happened to place a bowl of noodles in front of him. He could not remember what Qin Yuelou had just done.
"When did I fall asleep?"
"Just now, you may be too tired. Go back and rest early after eating the noodles."
In the red and oily noodle soup, the snow-white noodles are of moderate thickness and more substantial. The meat pieces as big as a palm are cut into thick slices and divided into 17 or 18 pieces to cover the noodles. It has a slight honey color and looks very delicious.
It's sweet, and it also has sliced soft-boiled eggs, as well as pickled vegetables and dried shreds, and the portion is plenty.
Wei Xiucai picked up the chopsticks and turned the noodles over, leaving the other dishes underneath. Then he scooped out a few spoonfuls of chili oil and spread it on the noodles. Then he poured some mature vinegar and stirred it a few times.
.
The originally snow-white noodles become redder and spicier when dipped in chili oil, making them even more appetizing.
After blowing on it, he sucked it into his mouth.
The noodles are strong and tough. You can cut the noodles with your upper and lower teeth and swallow them after chewing them for a while. The chili pepper also stimulates your taste buds and esophagus, as if you have swallowed a blazing fireball, which falls straight into your belly.
.
He couldn't help but remember that when he was a child, he secretly drank the wine his father had hidden from nomadic traders in Western Xinjiang, and it also tasted spicy in his mouth.
He couldn't help but think of his mother, who took care of him tenderly and carefully, weeping silently and covering her face as she wept.
His forehead seemed to be sweating because of the chili pepper.
Qin Yuelou also placed the peeled garlic beside him.
"Try it. You need to eat garlic when eating noodles, otherwise it won't taste good." Qin Yuelou's words seemed to bewitch him like magic.
So he threw the garlic clove into his mouth. While chewing, the spicy and pungent taste made him couldn't help but take a big mouthful of noodles to cover it up. He even took a sip of soup to wash it away, but he still shed tears because of the irritation.
He recalled that his sweetheart married someone else, and in order to get ahead, he also studied hard in the cold window under the ardent hope of his parents, but after studying and studying, he only got the title of a scholar. It was so bitter, and he became an immortal. The opportunity was wasted by oneself, the opportunity to get ahead was screwed up by oneself, how bitter it is.
He picked up a piece of honey-colored meat.
"What is this?" Wei Xiucai asked Qin Yuelou.
"These are barbecued pork, very sweet." Qin Yuelou said, and then spoke in Dajing Mandarin, "These are barbecued pork, very sweet."
Wei Xiucai took a bite, and the refreshing sweetness emanated from the meat.
He recalled that at that time, his sweetheart's face turned red, and he handed the lotus root to Wei Xiucai, and said shyly: "The lotus seeds are very sweet, I picked them specially for you to eat."
So he couldn't help but smile, and ate a few more pieces, and the spiciness was finally overcome.
He picked up half a soft-boiled egg. The yolk was flowing and slippery in the mouth, but it had a slight earthy and bitter taste.
The human world is miserable, the human world is miserable, gods are good, gods are good, but after suffering so much, haven’t I still not become an immortal? Bitter. Bitter.
With a sigh, Wei Xiucai ate all the soft-boiled eggs, then ate a few pieces of barbecued pork and swallowed it with the noodles.
Every time I take a bite, memories of the past come flooding back.
Every time he swallowed the food in his mouth, he became more and more reluctant to part with the children in the shack.
When I came back to my senses, the fragrance was still lingering in my mouth, but in front of me was a bowl of clear soup as clear as water.
"What's going on?" Wei Xiucai was puzzled.
Qin Yuelou answered as if he could read minds, without raising his head, just reading the comic book: "This soup is very overbearing. It doesn't like other seasonings except its own flavor, so what you just said All the other flavors that are not part of the original flavor have been absorbed by what you eat, and now only this bowl of clear soup is left. Besides, I can’t read minds, so don’t look at me like this. Just drink some soup to warm your stomach. After all, the original soup is transformed into the original. It’s food.”
Wei Xiucai looked at Master Qin who was absentmindedly reading comics and drank the soup as he was told.
The moment it enters the mouth, it spreads from the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue, and the taste buds are all praising that this noodle soup is so delicious. It is not the kind of deliciousness that comes with heavy seasoning, but the kind of deliciousness where the original flavors of the ingredients complement each other.
This is a kind of overbearing deliciousness that completely dilutes the previous taste residue, leaving only its own authentic taste.
But the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty things are echoing in my heart, and all the joy, anger, sorrow, fear, evil and desire in the past are also flowing back into my mind.
Becoming an immortal and immortality seem so unworthy of mention in the memories of the past.
The love of parents, the love of relatives and friends, the love of ignorance, the love of hidden things, the love of licking calves, all love fills the body and mind.
He also put down his dignity and drank the soup from the bowl without any grace.
"It's so delicious." He put down the bowl, burped, and praised with tears.
"Do you still want to use the lives of those children in the shack to extend your life?" Qin Yuelou's voice fell, shattering his defenses like a thunderous blow.
"I, this, you, are not..." Wei Xiucai was in a panic and didn't know what to say, because his little secret was exposed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Don't ask me how I know, everyone has secrets. I can see your suffering and struggle, so I want to take advantage of you before you cause disaster.
I gave you a hand before, but if you insist on going your own way and want to fall into the endless hell, then I will also make you a decapitation meal after stopping you."
Master Qin put away the comic book, spread his legs with a golden knife, took out the cigarette case from his apron pocket, knocked it out, and took out three or two cigarettes of different heights, which he held in his mouth.
He took out a box of matches, rubbed them, and lit the cigarette he was holding while protecting the flame. The fire light illuminated half of his face, while the other half was gloomy and cold. He then swung the wooden pole, and the flames went out, leaving a small child behind.
The half-cut black branch then flew out with a flick of his finger.
Master Qin exhaled a puff of smoke, stood up and turned over the sign. Now there was only a "seven" left.
He didn't care about Wei Xiucai, but he gave Wei Xiucai a slap in the face with delicious food. Qin Yuelou, who turned over the brand, left an enigmatic figure on his back, as well as the nine-stripe and nine-clawed red dragon on the back of the slim-fitting pure white chef's uniform.
Embroidery, with four words written in the middle of the embroidery: "One meal per day".
The dragon pattern is moving and moving on the chef's clothes, as if it is wandering in the cloud pond.
"I...can't do it anymore." Wei Xiucai exhaled and expressed his heart to Qin Yuelou's back.
As he confessed his feelings, some of the obsessions that had been brewing in his heart were also released.
If you want to use the lives of others to inflict evil spells and satisfy your own desire for immortality, then can you still be considered a human being?
Wei Xiucai stood up, bowed and thanked Qin Yuelou, and then left with a happy heart.
There were many strange people and strangers in the market, and Wei Xiucai had his eyes opened for once.
Qin Yuelou turned around and glanced at Wei Xiucai, and the nine-marked and nine-clawed red dragon behind him also disappeared.
"This style is really good. It's really awesome."
He sighed and smoked, and repeated it again.
"It's really cool." If you like It's a Liaozhai, Not Cthulhu, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) It's a Liaozhai, Not Cthulhu, the novel search website has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
