Chapter 554 Fairy tales are crueler than any reality
Shenwan, seafood restaurant.
The iron rope connects the boat, and the gold and green shine together.
The phoenix pavilion, dragon tower, carved beams and painted buildings on the ship are designed in an oriental palace style, showing the royal style. The night view is even more beautiful, and it can be called a palace floating on the sea.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a pair of doggy men and women, phew, a handsome man and a beautiful woman are ordering food.
Liao Wenjie and Meng Luo.
Ever since Liao Wenjie took care of the evil monkey Sai Lei and preserved Meng Luo's independent female dignity to a great extent, Meng Luo became more and more obsessed with him. Today, she couldn't push it away, so Liao Wenjie changed her schedule.
Take her to the ship's restaurant to eat seafood.
"I just asked you to accompany me for a while and eat some fried rice from the street. I didn't expect you to actually show me off..."
Meng Luo put down the menu, raised her hand and tapped her chin, and said in confusion: "I understand, you are trying to check out the places, bring me to try out whether the food here is delicious, and then decide whether to bring your girlfriend over."
"You have seen through this, what else can I say except silence." Liao Wenjie said without raising his head.
"Hey, can't you coax people with sweet words?"
"I'm coaxing you, it's so sweet, you just don't know."
"Bah, scumbag!"
Meng Luo rolled her eyes. She was already full before eating. Suddenly something occurred to her and she said with interest: "I heard that the 'Super God of Cookery Contest' is being held on the ship next door. Stephen Zhou, who has made a comeback by selling beef balls, may have salted fish."
Turn over, how about we go over and take a look after dinner?"
"It's impossible. No outsiders are allowed to enter the game. Not even reporters can enter."
Liao Wenjie put down the menu. In the dark night sky, nine stars lined up in a line, pretending to be nine stars in a row, indicating that something unusual was going to happen tonight.
"Stop lying, you are too proud to get in?"
Meng Luo pursed her lips. In her opinion, everyone seemed to give Liao Wenjie three points of respect. It was just a food competition, and getting into it was just a phone call away.
"It was perfunctory and not sincere at all. It was just that I didn't want to waste too much time on me."
Meng Luo felt sorry for herself: "Sure enough, you are just greedy for my body and have never loved me. When I grow old, you will definitely put on your pants and turn your back on me."
Liao Wenjie:
When did your character become so troubled? Was he in love?
"Okay, okay, it's my fault that I only coaxed others but not you. I apologize, I admit my mistake, and I will let you cry when I go home tonight. Is that okay?"
Liao Wenjie waved his hand to drive away the flies and proactively admitted his mistake: "Also, it's not that I'm insincere, but the Super God of Cookery Competition has been decided by default. The God of Cookery is Tang Niu, and Stephen Zhou has no chance of turning over. It doesn't matter whether he looks at it or not."
"Not at all?"
"Unless the gods descend to earth."
Liao Wenjie shrugged. He had always felt that it was a fairly realistic educational film, rather than a fairy tale with a perfect ending in which justice must prevail.
The perfect ending is that Stephen Chow rises again, the lovers finally get married, and the villains all receive their due retribution.
The ending was achieved, but the person who caused all this was not Stephen Chow. Faced with Tang Niu and the capital behind it, he had no choice but to lose completely. The one who truly allowed justice to defeat evil was the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.
Fairy tale?
It's like a fairy tale, and it's crueler than any reality. It's so real that it makes people speechless.
If someone says that Stephen Chow is the reincarnation of the God of Cookery, without Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tang Niu’s stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs can’t do anything to him, but...
Isn't this more realistic?
The reason why Stephen Chow won was not because his cooking was delicious, but because he had status, background, and people above him.
Therefore, Liao Wenjie insisted that Stephen Yiyi failed miserably and Tang Niu was the god of food!
"Hey, Ajie, look, there is a small wooden boat on the water, and that man is flying." Meng Luo held Liao Wenjie's hand tightly. Many guests at the table next to her saw this scene and were amazed.
"Calm down, it's just flying. It's a small scene. I'll let you fly tonight."
"Hey, you...can't you be more serious every day?"
"Then are you still flying?"
"fly."
…
"There must be something weird about the nine-star continuum. There must be something wrong with it appearing so coincidentally tonight."
At the Super God of Cookery competition, Tang Niu was sitting among a group of chefs, muttering uneasy. The owner of the Happy Restaurant chain came forward and talked to Tang Niu in a low voice to make Tang Niu relax.
There is still one minute left before the start of the game. It is still a question whether Stephen Zhou can come. Even if he does, he will only humiliate himself, because from the players to the referees and judges, they are all his people. What can Stephen Zhou win?
?
"Relax, you have no opponent tonight. Even if you poop on me, the referee will praise your poop to the sky and make you the god of food."
"it's not good……"
Tang Niu thought about it and shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, it's too difficult for the referee. I will perform normally tonight and win the title of 'God of Cookery' in an honest way."
"Hahaha—" x2
The two laughed wildly, and the chef beside them laughed softly. The competition scene was full of joy, which perfectly interpreted the competitive spirit of "friendship first, competition second".
Bang!
The window shattered, and a figure jumped in, rolled twice and then slowly stood up.
With gray hair, white clothes, and a cloth bag, Stephen Chow's unconventional demeanor has changed drastically. He is completely different from a month ago. He looked like he had given up on his dream of being a chef and decided to make a career in Kung Fu movies.
Everyone at the scene was stunned, and Tang Niu and Boss Daxing were even more stunned. It wasn't until a sudden sound of 'Amitabha' sounded that everyone diverted their attention from the complaints.
Mengwei sat cross-legged on the ground in front of the referee's bench, chanting, "Come with the wind, go with the wind." Then, because of his status as an idler, he was carried out by the security personnel who maintained order at the scene.
Upstairs of the competition venue, in a large private room, several people looked at the live broadcast in the water mirror and were speechless, not knowing what to say.
If Liao Wenjie is there, you will find many familiar faces in the room, such as the Taoist priest Chang Chongzi and his bad-mouthed friend Zhengxin Monk. Basically, all members of the tour group led by Yan Zhen will be there.
A month ago, the exotic treasure celestial astrolabe that has been passed down in the mainland for many years rotated on its own. On that day, a strange phenomenon appeared in the nine-star continuum. It also pointed out the exact location very thoughtfully, which was the site of the 28th Super God of Cookery Competition.
So, the tour group started to come here to eat seafood.
"Wait a minute and rewind it."
Zhengxin slapped Chang Chongzi on the shoulder with a huge hand, and said in surprise: "Didn't that old... monk just have a wet dream? He stayed in the Shaolin Temple and didn't even go out for a walk for decades. Unexpectedly,
He will come tonight too."
"Old monk?"
Chang Chongzi ruthlessly pushed away the iron hand on his shoulder and sneered: "You're miserable, you just said that Master Mengwei is an old bald donkey, and a poor man is the most upright man. I heard it with my own ears today, and I will definitely convey it to Master Mengwei.
"
"Don't spread rumors. The poor monk is just gasping for breath. Besides, the poor monk himself is a monk, so he would point at other monks and scold the bald donkey?" Zhengxin shook his head. The abbot was petty, so it was Chang Chongzi who was framed by a good person.
Those who deliberately provoke internal strife in Buddhism should be punished.
"It's either an old bald donkey or an old thing. I don't care. What matters is what Master Mengwei thinks."
"Amitabha, Master Mengwei has a broad mind and knows all over the world. He will definitely think that the poor monk is talking about an old man!"
The two bickered for a few more times, and like the others, they turned their attention to Stephen Zhou. The man who had not left the house for decades had a dream that he came out as a lay disciple. There must be a lot of articles here. Then think about the strangeness of the Nine Stars.
Like, all the clues are connected together.
There is only one problem right now.
"who is he?"
"According to intelligence, without dyeing his hair, he is the former 'God of Food' Stephen Chow, a catering businessman here on Hong Kong Island. Because of food poisoning in chain stores, and for deceiving consumers with shoddy products, public opinion has criticized him.
, went bankrupt overnight and lived on the street, and later made his way in the catering industry by selling beef balls. He is a very powerful and evil businessman."
"..."xN
The information is very sufficient. After listening to it, everyone has more questions in their minds.
"No, no...it's terrible."
The door opened, and an old man in a suit rushed in: "It's rough, guess who I saw?"
"As long as it is not 'No. 1', the problem is not serious, so..."
"That's right, I saw 'No. 1', it's right next door."
"..."xN
"No. 1" is the nickname of Liao Wenjie. The realm of land gods is incomprehensible to mortals. Considering that calling the god's name directly will cause a reaction, this nickname was given. "One" is the honorific name for his strength.
There is only one land god in the world, and he is the strongest in this world.
Although Liao Wenjie keeps a low profile on a daily basis, abiding by all laws and regulations, either slaying monsters or exterminating demons, if it weren't for a series of natural disasters that exposed his identity, he would not be able to continue to keep a low profile, and he has expressed his favorable opinion of the mainland many times, but...
Being polite is just out of politeness. Maybe the person just finds it troublesome, so be sensible and don't bother if you can. Just pretend you don't know anything.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not that the poor monk looks down on you. With your little cultivation, can you find that 'No. 1' is also here?"
Zhengxin muttered: "If you think about it again, maybe you saw it wrong. Maybe they just look alike."
The old man became angry as soon as he heard this, and said categorically: "It's absolutely impossible. That face is handsome and unrestrained, he shows talent, his appearance is majestic, his temperament is outstanding, and his aura is beyond compare..."
"Okay, stop bragging, people may not be listening."
"I'm not bragging, I'm just telling the truth!!"
"Okay, go on. If you have nothing to say, I will help you continue. I also like to tell the truth." Zhengxin nodded. A monk does not tell lies. He can always tell the truth.
"Well, actually 'No. 1' didn't deliberately hide it. He was eating seafood with a girlfriend, so I was able to find him."
"What, I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask...'No. 1' only brought one girlfriend?"
"Well, I only brought one."
The old man nodded: "I won't brag or be slanderous. He is quite conservative in this regard."
