Cheng Yu stood on the eaves of the building, looking at the pier below his feet. There were still traders and footmen busy at this moment, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them and the Moon Watching Tower. The two were separated into two worlds.
The bustle at the pier has nothing to do with this quiet restaurant.
After Cheng Yu filtered out the noisy people, he heard a "dong-dong-dong" sound coming from the backyard of the restaurant, which sounded like the sound of chopping and preparing vegetables.
At this time, Jia Fei also walked to the door of the restaurant. After recognizing the three big signs of Wangyue Tower, the cat demon walked directly into the restaurant.
"Shopkeeper! Why don't you turn on the lamp at this hour?"
Jia Fei shouted loudly and led out an old waiter who looked like a shopkeeper from behind the counter. The old waiter had a sparse beard. He took advantage of the last ray of light in the dusk to look at the door. When he saw it was a young lady who looked like a rich family, he did not dare to neglect her.
Hehehe came forward to greet him and bowed:
"This lady, it's an unfortunate time for you to come here. The whole store is fully occupied today and no outsiders are allowed. Miss Haihan, please look for another place and come back tomorrow."
Jia Fei frowned when he heard this, thinking that it was a coincidence. Then he thought about who could be so bold and bold as to book the entire restaurant and restaurant.
I came out of interest but couldn't get in, which made me feel unhappy. But when I saw the owner nodding and bowing, I didn't feel like saying anything, so I turned around and went out.
After walking a few steps, he looked up and saw the sparrow on the roof. Jia Fei's heart moved. He looked for a quiet place where no one was. He jumped across the roof and landed quietly next to the stove in the backyard.
A smell of oily smoke wafted out of the window. Jia Fei's nose twitched, and he went to the window and looked in.
I saw two cooks, one big and one small, working in front of the stove. The fat cook was cutting meat, and the little apprentice was helping him.
Next to them, there are two tall men standing. These two men are wearing silk, but their clothes are like servants.
Their eyes were as bright as fire, and they were watching every move of the cooks, as if they were trying to find fault at any time.
Cheng Yu and Jia Fei stood outside the window and took a quick look and found it boring. The cook just wanted to make some fried fish and shrimps. Apart from his skillful cutting skills, he didn't see anything special about it.<
/p>
Suddenly, Cheng Yu felt an extremely sparse spiritual energy wave coming from the corner of the courtyard.
He turned around and looked around. There was an old wooden barrel in the corner, with a golden triangular head sticking out of the edge of the barrel. There were sarcoma-like bulges on the head where the eyes were supposed to be, and one of them was cracked.
The big mouth opens and closes towards the full moon in the sky.
Jia Fei received the breath coming from Cheng Yu and turned around to look. Cheng Yu used her magic eyes to see that every time a trace of moon essence was sucked into its mouth, the pair of bulges on its head would bulge obviously, until
Only after exhaling another wisp of black air did he calm down.
Is it a water snake that became a spirit?
At this moment, I suddenly heard the fat chef in the kitchen asking:
"I dare to ask this uncle, when will the official arrive?"
"Huh? You just cook your food and ask the high-ranking official what he is doing? How can he tell you when the high-ranking official is coming?"
One of the tall, athletic servants replied rudely in Mandarin.
The fat chef nodded and bowed:
"To be honest, I'm not just a little talkative, it's actually the fried eel that is the signature dish ordered by the official. It has to be freshly cooked and hot to be delicious. If it is cooked at this time and the official has not arrived, Don’t eat it once it’s cooled.”
‘Exploded eel section?’
Cheng Yu had already flown to a tree in the courtyard and heard the conversation in the kitchen. It turned out that the painting on the fourth sign at the door of the restaurant and the wooden barrel were not snakes, but eels.
He looked down at the barrel and saw more than a dozen ordinary eels inside, except for the golden eel standing high, raising its head to worship the moon.
"It's an eel that has become sperm and is sucking the moon essence."
Jia Fei sent a message to Cheng Yu from within the sea, and Cheng Yu nodded in response:
"It seems that this eel spirit is just beginning to develop its spiritual wisdom, otherwise it would not be trapped in a restaurant. I remember that there is a legend about a kind of moon-worshiping eel that lives by eating the carrion of dead cats and dogs. It is extremely poisonous. If someone eats it by mistake, It turned into blood in a matter of seconds. I don’t know if the following one is the same."
He looked at the eel at his feet, which was still sucking the moon essence, and sent a message to Jia Fei.
At this time, the courtyard was silent, and even the four people in the kitchen were silent. After a few breaths, one of the healthy servants spoke in an official tone and asked:
"How do you make this dish? How long does it take to cook?"
"Back to the uncle, the eels are slaughtered first, then cut into sections and marinated for two hours. Then they are stir-fried in hot oil and eaten right out of the pan. It is the most refreshing."
"That's it, kill the eels first, marinate them, and fry them when the high officials arrive. If you wait until the high officials arrive and then kill them, won't you waste the time?"
"Yes, yes! Go quickly, pick up the fattest four or five and let me slaughter them."
The fat chef agreed repeatedly and then ordered the young apprentice. The young apprentice agreed and ran out of the kitchen, holding a wooden bucket in his hand and running towards the wooden basin in the corner of the courtyard.
I saw the moon-worshiping eel in the wooden basin retracting its head as soon as the apprentice came out of the kitchen, twisting its body and hiding under the other eels.
The young apprentice ran up to him and quickly picked up four plump eels from the wooden basin. Cheng Yu could see clearly from a high place that the golden moon-worshiping eel twisted left and right to avoid being caught several times.
However, after this operation, the young apprentice paid special attention. He left the other eels alone and only focused on catching the moon-worshiping eel.
"Ah! Ah!"
Suddenly the little apprentice shook his hand violently and cried out in pain. It turned out that the moon-worshiping eel was being chased in a hurry, so he turned around and bit him hard.
The fat cook in the kitchen rushed out the door after hearing the sound, followed closely by two healthy servants.
"Huh? You are a little brat. In the past, you were extremely dexterous in catching eels and never missed. Why did you get bitten today?"
The little apprentice looked at his middle finger and found that the belly of the finger had been bitten and was bleeding. He opened his mouth and skillfully held the finger in his mouth, and then spat again and again:
"Bah! Haha! It's so bitter."
When the fat chef saw that he was fine, he stopped caring about him. After taking a look into the wooden basin, he turned back and took out a pair of fire tongs. He clamped the triangular head of the moon-worshiping eel three times in a row and raised it to his eyes.
Hey, after thinking about it, he rushed to the front yard and shouted:
"The shop owner! Who sent the eel in the tub today?"
The old shopkeeper with a sparse beard came running from the front yard when he heard this. He first sang "Oi" to the two healthy servants, then straightened up and replied to the fat chef:
"Today's eel was sent by Xue Da. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"Xue Da? Is this the Xue Da who lives in the lake temple?"
"Not bad!"
The two healthy servants seemed a little impatient at this time and stepped forward to urge:
"No more ink stains, kill them quickly and marinate them, lest the officials come and delay the time."
"This..."
The fat chef hesitated for a while and looked at the shopkeeper, the old man. After seeing that the old man was also telling him to do as he was told, he raised the moon-worshiping eel and said:
"This eel looks unusual, I'm afraid it's inedible..."
"It's just an eel, what can't you eat?"
One of the healthy servants finally lost his patience and rushed forward to pinch the back of the moon-worshiping eel's head and neck. He looked at it and said:
"I want to see what this little eel can eat... Wow! Straight bitch!"
Jianpu shouted, and everyone in the venue saw that although the golden eel was pinched by its vitals, it twisted its smooth body, wrapped around Jianpu's wrist and squeezed hard. When he let go in panic, he turned his head and bit back.
At the location of Jianpuhu's mouth.
The servant shook his hands desperately like the cook's apprentice. It was already dark now, and there was only a flash of yellow light. There was a "pop!" and the moon-worshiping eel released its mouth and disappeared.
The few mortals in the field couldn't see it with their naked eyes, but Cheng Yu and Jia Fei from high up could see clearly. After the moon-worshiping eel had bitten the healthy servant's hand, it twisted its tail and hit the opponent's arm to gain strength.
Bounce to the corner of the wall, find a hole, drill into it and disappear.
"Hiss...ha! It hurts me so much!"
Jian Puhu looked at his own tiger's mouth and saw that a shiny black bulge had swelled up.
"Xiao Liuzi!"
The fat chef on the other side suddenly shouted, but his little apprentice had fallen to the ground, his face was dark and he was unconscious.
"Plop!"
The healthy servant who was bitten also fell down and sat on the ground, swaying from side to side, his eyes blurred and he was about to lie down in confusion.
At this time, seeing that the little apprentice was about to die, the healthy servant probably couldn't hold on for long. He made a fat chef cry with anxiety, and made several waiters in the front yard come to watch the fun. The shopkeeper
The old man also clapped his hands and wandered around in the courtyard, chanting:
"What should I do?"
Another healthy servant squatted next to his companion and asked a few words. He found that the other party had gradually lost consciousness and was sitting precariously on the ground. He hesitated for a moment and then stood up. He took out a piece of yellow paper about four inches long from his arms.
, there are red patterns drawn on the paper, twisted like runes.
Cheng Yu, who was standing high up, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes, and he recognized what the opponent was holding.
