In the glowing cooking pavilion, the expensive whole beef set meal was finished.
The total cost was 72,362 yuan.
It’s about the price of three cows at the Luminous Cuisine Pavilion.
Not an ordinary cow, but a special kind of cow who grew up drinking beer and listening to music.
Such costs are naturally extremely expensive.
Just look at the face of the old monk Tongshou Temple.
They were already wrinkled together and twitching from time to time.
The wallet is empty.
The card is also empty.
The most important thing is that the credit card is overdrawn.
Farewell, my retirement life.
Farewell, my cat.
Farewell, my dog.
Farewell, my goose.
The eyes of the old monk Tongshou Temple were shining brightly.
He really cried.
If the dream he originally thought was shattered like this, he would not be like this.
But it was himself who shattered this dream.
Especially since Jason confirmed it repeatedly, but he didn't realize it at all.
This was really hard for him to accept.
Sure enough, I was born to work hard!
I won't just keep working hard until I die, right?
When I thought about how old and frail I was, I could no longer survive the cold winter, and finally collapsed on the roadside corner, covered in wind and snow, and was not discovered until my body became stiff.
The tears of the old monk Tongshou Temple became increasingly uncontrollable.
However, with tears streaming down his face, the old monk Tongshou Temple suddenly thought of something.
How old am I?
ninety?
Ninety-two?
Or ninety-five?
If you think about it this way, it seems that you live a lot longer than ordinary people!
After thinking about it, the old monk felt less uncomfortable.
However, the wrinkled face still did not relax.
He wants to pay back his credit card!
A twenty thousand credit card!
How long and how long will it take to pay back!
"master?"
Hui Lijing kept looking at the expression of the old monk from Tongshou Temple. He was crying and laughing at times, and his face was still wrinkled. The female detective was really worried that the old monk would not be able to breathe and would lie down here.
More than 70,000 yuan, which is a huge sum of money for a female detective without using her sister's money.
In other words, it is a huge sum of money for anyone.
"It's fine."
"I'm used to it."
"In life, how can everything go as planned?"
The old monk Tongshou Temple said with his hands clasped together, his face completely relaxed.
In his heart, he was already thinking about where he should go.
Now he is no longer the master of Tongshou Temple.
It is not suitable to live in Tongshou Temple.
The only option is to move out.
Fortunately, it would be some time before winter really came, so he could find more cardboard boxes and build a home.
It is a bit difficult to find a job under such a premise.
Although the job of exorcising spirits and exorcizing demons was well-paid, he really didn't dare.
Not only was he afraid of losing his life, he was also afraid of harming his client.
The client came to him because he believed in him.
If he lost his life because of something like this, he would really have a bad conscience.
Therefore, in the past ten or twenty years, he accepted tasks selectively.
He would never accept anyone who was a senior executive or a wealthy person.
Because there is definitely no shortage of real Onmyoji and exorcist help for such people. Since it has not been solved, it proves that the task is very difficult and far beyond the reach of a 'rookie' like him.
Instead, he was happy to take over some civilians, because most of these tasks were easy to complete.
But I don’t know why, but the more this happens, the more famous and better he becomes.
Some even call him ‘Bodhisattva’.
But he is a real dish!
In addition to being able to practice [Substitute Hair], [Bodu Technique], and [Silent Technique], I can also practice [Vajra Palm].
As for the secret teaching of Tongshou Temple [The Powerful Heavenly Dragon Method]?
So far, I only have a superficial understanding of it.
How could he exorcise spirits and exorcise demons like this?
It is undesirable to harm others and yourself.
well!
Thinking of this, the old monk Tongshou Temple couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he looked at Jason slightly pleadingly.
"Master, can you let me live in Tongshou Temple for a while?"
"Please don't worry, it's only for a while."
"As soon as I find a job, I'll leave."
The old monk from Tongshou Temple looked at Jason pitifully.
"Um."
Jason nodded.
And deep down in his heart, Jason naturally had a plan.
Let the old monk Tongshou Temple leave?
No.
He is very clear about his identity.
In other words, the issues he is considering now are far more than just Tongshou Temple.
There must be one person guarding the Tongshou Temple.
Is there any more suitable candidate than the old monk Tongshou Temple?
No.
The old monk Tongshou Temple is the best candidate.
"Everyone."
The lobby manager, who was the waiter, walked outside the bamboo curtain and reminded him softly.
When everyone turned their heads, the lobby manager said with a smile: "Our chef has specially prepared a small after-dinner meal for you. Do you want me to serve it now?"
“Will there be free meals?”
Hui Lijing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
After all, they spent such a huge amount of money on meals, so they should give something as a gift.
Just like when she is in a cafe, when someone buys a lot of things at once, she will give them a pudding.
It should be like this.
The female detective nodded thoughtfully.
Seemingly seeing the female detective's expression, the lobby manager immediately explained.
"It's not a gift."
"Or..."
"This food is far better than the beef set meal you have eaten."
The lobby manager's words made the female detective and the old monk look at each other in surprise.
As for Jason?
By this time, he had sat up straight and his nose was twitching.
fragrance!
What a delicious scent!
Jason was completely attracted by the scent and looked towards the kitchen.
"Why are you giving such precious food to us?"
The female detective asked with vigilance.
Although the Glowing Restaurant does not look like a dark store, there are still some things you need to ask clearly.
After all, they don't have the ability to spend 70,000+ anymore.
Even if there is, it is impossible to just give it to the other party for nothing.
"Because it's touching."
"It's because our boss was so moved when he saw you walking with your friends."
"That's why I felt it."
The lobby manager explained and asked again.
"Do you need to come on now?"
"Come on."
Jason agreed immediately.
"good!"
The lobby manager turned around and ran to the kitchen.
After a while, a small cart came out.
The car is a dining car.
There was only a steaming cage on the top floor of the car.
Similar to the basket used to hold xiaolongbao.
"Excuse me for disturbing you."
After opening the bamboo curtain, the lobby manager said this.
Then, he carefully placed the basket, which seemed to be able to hold only 8-10 xiaolongbao, on the table that had just been cleaned.
"Then I open it now?"
the lobby manager asked.
"good."
Everyone nodded.
The lobby manager immediately pinched the top of the cage with his fingers, and then jerked it upward——
call!
Rich water vapor spurted out, and the cage was immediately covered.
Then--
roar!
Hoho!
Ho ho ho!
Waves of low but long roars sounded, accompanied by white water vapor filling the air.
"This, this, this?"
Hui Lijing couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the sudden scene in front of her.
After that, she opened her mouth involuntarily.
dragon!
In the water vapor, a dragon appeared.
Hold your head high, climb up.
Like flying into the sky.
All over the world.
The dragon sings in the nine heavens.
Waves of dragon roars were still ringing in her ears, but in front of Hui Lijing's eyes, a divine dragon had already flown into the sky.
However, when Hui Lijing blinked, she found nothing.
What is in front of me is just a basket of steamed dumplings.
Steamed dumplings with shrimp heads and tails.
But what happened just now?
Hallucination?
Hui Lijing looked confused.
She turned her head and looked at the old monk Tongshou Temple.
The old monk from Tongshou Temple clasped his hands and looked at the lobby manager.
“Is this the legendary ‘Shenglong Steamed Dumpling’?”
the old monk asked.
"Yes."
"This is the 'Shenglong Steamed Dumpling' specially made by the boss for you."
"Please taste it."
As soon as the words fell, the storm surged.
The heat on the table was stirred by an arm that reached its extreme speed, showing a tumbling posture, and the Shenglong dumplings in the cage had long since disappeared, leaving only the sound of Jason chewing.
“Okay, delicious!”
Jason felt the collision between his teeth and the shrimp, and his whole body was filled with pleasure.
What made him even more happy was the words in front of him——
【Eating ‘Shenglong Dumplings’ (prepared by the master)】
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are moderately recovered!]
[Satiety +5]
【Satiety: 724】
…
"5 points fullness?"
Jason's eyes lit up.
It’s not surprising that ‘food’ brings 5 points of satiety.
Food in this conventional sense is unique in bringing 5 points of satiety.
In Jason's understanding, conventional food can only undergo qualitative changes through the accumulation of quantity.
"Is it because of the chef?"
Jason looked at the description of 'cooked by masters'.
Almost subconsciously, Jason looked at the lobby manager.
"Can I get to know the chef?"
Jason asked.
"terribly sorry."
"Our boss usually doesn't see customers."
"Moreover, after producing a satisfactory work, our boss has gone home."
Obviously, this was not the first time that this lobby manager had encountered such a thing. He responded calmly and bowed to apologize.
A rare look of disappointment appeared on Jason's face.
However, he did not embarrass the lobby manager. He just nodded and signaled that he could leave.
The lobby manager saluted again and then left.
"Isn't it delicious?"
the female detective asked.
“It’s even more delicious than expected.”
Jason replied.
The female detective's eyes immediately showed yearning.
With the dream of being a barista, the female detective naturally has a passion for food.
She also wanted to try this amazing looking food.
But will it be enough if we take the initiative?
Sorry to bother you.
I am poor.
I don't deserve it.
Female detectives have always been self-aware.
The old monk Tongshou Temple was sitting there thinking.
"Master, what's wrong?"
In order to divert attention, the female detective asked the old monk.
"Rumors record that in a certain era, some people used cooking to appease demons."
"That chef made countless delicious dishes throughout his life."
"But later, after winning another cooking competition, he disappeared with all his friends... One of his most talked-about dishes seems to be the 'Shenglong Dumpling'!"
The old monk answered.
“Shanglong dumpling is just one portion?”
"Are there any similar magical dishes?"
The female detective's eyes widened.
"Well, there are also catfish noodles, universe shaomai, galaxy noodles, flowering rice crust, comet fried rice, sea bream continent map, etc."
"But these..."
"They should all be legends, right?"
As the old monk spoke, his tone became a little unconfident.
Such lack of confidence was discovered by the keen female detective.
Facing the female detective's gaze, the old monk said frankly.
"Because there are rumors that people who eat these dishes can live forever!"
"Immortality?!"
The female detective exclaimed.
"Yes, immortality."
"It's something even a big demon can't do."
"So, I guess it should be a legend."
The old monk nodded.
Jason frowned on the side.
Immortality?
It seems a bit incredible.
But can it really not exist?
When the strength of the body reaches a certain level, it will naturally slow down aging. In a certain period of time, it is the so-called "immortality".
And can eating reach this level?
Think about satiety!
Even the dead can be resurrected!
What’s more, immortality?
Therefore, Jason believes in this legend.
He is definitely not here to eat dishes such as Catfish Noodles, Universe Shaomai, Milky Way Noodles, Flowering Crispy Rice, Comet Fried Rice, Sea Bream Continent Map, etc.
"I really want to meet that chef!"
Jason thought to himself.
Then, he looked outside the bamboo curtain.
Ryosuke is back.
It has a medicinal and mysterious smell.
Not food.
It's the aura left behind after being contaminated with secret arts and the like.
"Not going well?"
Jason asked.
"It's not going well."
"I need to put my plans together for now."
"Our previous agreement should be considered invalid!"
Saying that, Ryousuke bowed.
The female detective frowned.
"Hey, you guy..."
"good."
Jason interrupted these words.
"Feel sorry."
After saying that, Ryousuke turned around and left.
"What's wrong with this guy?"
"Obviously Jason, you are helping him!"
The female detective looked at Ryousuke's back and said angrily.
"Pretentious people are all like this."
"Usually a good beating will be enough."
Jason answered.
The female detective was stunned.
"generally?"
"Isn't that unusual?"
The female detective asked subconsciously.
"Two times."
Jason said with certainty.
Such words made the female detective speechless.
But the old monk laughed.
It was indeed the right thing to make Jason the master.
Jason has great wisdom.
Thinking of this, he thought of the old monk's dying message.
The master of Tongshou Temple!
Finally he is no longer the fake he is.
You can be a real master!
When he thought of this, the old monk Tongshou Temple could no longer sit still.
He looked at him seriously and Jason said——
"Master, please come with me...to accept the 'Inheritance of Tongshou Temple'!"
