2. Dear Mr. Ji
Dear Mr. Ji,
Good day, I'm Mr. Hei, who often goes to restaurants to eat eggplant roast pork. For some reason I couldn't go to the restaurant, so I had to let my nephew go, but since he was still a cub, I had to use spells to help him disguise himself as an adult, also for fear that he would be in danger.
He has been clamoring to go to your restaurant to increase his knowledge, and when he heard that the restaurant was holding an event on Children's Day, he wanted to ask him if he could participate. My nephew is one hundred and five years old this year, and because of his blood, he is still a baby leopard, and if he takes on a human form, he will be about two or three years old.
I'm sorry for all the ramblings, but the human web is so subtle that I haven't learned to use it yet, so I can only write to you. We hope you can forgive me if we delay your time.
Every time I go to a restaurant, I have to eat eggplant roast meat.
**
The man who wrote the letter is a black panther who lives in the countryside, and the standard of living of humans there is not very high, and correspondingly, Mr. Hei's living standard as a monster is also average. He is not young, he has just stepped out of the cub stage and entered the juvenile stage, he can move freely in the world, and every time he leaves home, he must come to Li Qingming's store to eat, especially like to eat eggplant roast meat.
However, Mr. Hei obviously did not have a high level of Chinese, and he wrote Li Qingming's surname incorrectly and wrote it as Ji.
On the other side, Mr. Hei's nephew looked at Li Qingming with a worried face, but he knew that every time his uncle Mr. Hei mentioned Boss Li, he was full of reverence, and he subconsciously felt that Li Qingming was very powerful, and he didn't dare to make a mistake at all.
Putting away the typos, and several words were replaced by pinyin, Li Qingming emphatically emphasized, "My surname is Li." ”
"Yes, Boss Li. Mr. Hei's nephew said a little apprehensively.
Looking at the monster sitting in front of him drinking soda, Li Qingming rubbed his eyebrows, Mr. Hei's spell was really powerful, and even he didn't see the disguise of this cub. Since it is a cub, it is very likely that he does not know Chinese characters, Li Qingming took the menu and read the names of a few dishes, looked at the other party's blank look, and couldn't help but decide for him: "I'll fry a thousand-page tofu for you first." ”
"Ahh......h
"You can participate. Li Qingming waved his hand, put away the menu and poured him another glass of soda, and then went to the kitchen. Chiye tofu is also a signature dish in some small restaurants, because when it is fried, it will ignite the fire in the pot, and the short flame burning in the pot will add a smoky barbecue flavor to the tofu, so that even if it is just fried with oil and salt, the taste is very chic.
Cooking is a pleasure, and Li Qingming likes the smell of food in the kitchen, as if this is the only way to prove that he is alive like a normal person, as if it is his family waiting outside, not a monster cub. But even if it's a monster cub, it's nothing, when he eats the first bite of the dish, his eyes are shining and shiny looking at Li Qingming, and there are two big words written in it, 'delicious'!
"I love this dish. "This monster cub is supposed to be carnivorous, but the first time he came to the restaurant to eat, he was obviously very curious about this vegan dish, so he didn't say anything about it in one go, and asked Li Qingming to serve a few more plates.
"I'll stir up a few more other dishes for you. Li Qingming curled the corners of his lips and smiled, explaining, "Customers who come to the store for the first time also have discounts, and they are discounted by 5%. ”
There is only such a monster restaurant in this world that can receive monsters, and only Li Qingming has the ability to receive them, because his own identity among humans is relatively special, the yin qi in his body is too heavy, and he is a bit half-human and half-ghost. It's not good to mix in human society, but stepping into the world of monsters can become a super powerful restaurant owner in their mouths, and even Li Qingming's status among them has been steadily rising.
Li Qingming himself can't say the reason, this may be fate.
The thousand pages of tofu are just a small test, and the next few dishes are the signature dishes of the restaurant, including beef tenderloin with sharp peppers, back to the pot meat, sweet and sour tenderloin, and so on. The last dish is fried yellow crucian carp with eggs, which are spread out in a pan, poured with evenly beaten egg mixture, fried over low heat until browned on both sides, and then put on a plate and removed from the pan. Because of the egg mixture, all the fish become a whole, round on the plate, not so good-looking, but fragrant.
The first few dishes were very popular, and the speed of eating was also very fast, and when he saw the last dish, the monster cub hesitated, and he looked at Li Qingming cautiously, with a tangled expression on his face.
The cub had never eaten fried fish at first glance, and the appearance of being afraid of fish and thorns had betrayed that. Li Qingming felt a little funny, pointed to the fish on the plate and explained: "Don't worry about the fishy smell and fish bones, taste it, I promise to like it." ”
The yellow crucian carp has a fragrant taste, the meat is fine, but there are many spines, and it is relatively firewood. Li Qingming soaked it slightly in vinegar to make the fish bones soft, and when frying, all the vinegar flavor came out, and the fish meat and fish bones became extremely crispy, and it tasted crispy and fragrant.
Seeing what Li Qingming said, this young cub from the countryside picked up the fish and ate it in disbelief, and then his eyes lit up, and he ate it like a storm, and finally helped to lick the plate clean. At this time, the plates on the table are all like this, if you don't know, you will think that Li Qingming has not served the food at all.
After the meal, Li Qingming took the initiative to explain, "You can give you whatever you have, and I will tell you if the value is appropriate." "Don't expect these youkai to come up with the money that humans can use, most of them don't have any money. However, Li Qingming's purpose in opening a restaurant is not to make money, as long as there is a harvest, many times it is barter, and he looks pleasing to the eye.
Obediently coming to the counter, the monster cub fumbled in his trouser pocket and took out two thumb-sized pebbles, "I prepared this, do you see enough?"
"One is all it takes. Li Qingming put away one pebble, and returned the other to the other party, explaining in a good mood, "Don't forget that it's your first time at the restaurant, there are discounts." Go back quickly, stay safe on the way, and don't talk to people you don't know or youkai. ”
"Got it. ”
Leopard print shirt, under the leopard print trousers, although it is very fashionable, but Li Qingming still feels weird. Watching the youkai go out of the doorway, drifting away, he withdrew his gaze and yawned, and went to the kitchen to prepare the second wave of dishes.
There are always some obsessive-compulsive monsters who come to eat a fixed meal at a fixed place every once in a while. Most of them put most of their energy into their practice, and only a small part of the time they would come out to enjoy it, and sometimes they would discuss spell techniques and the like with each other during meals.
Everyone will not shy away from Li Qingming, because in their opinion, Li Qingming is their own person.
After preparing the fixed meal and placing it in a fixed position, Li Qingming returned to the counter and sat down. The wind chimes changed again, and this time there were two people who came, and they went straight to the seats where the meals were set and sat down, whispering as they ate.
When they came to pay after eating, Li Qingming took the opportunity to ask, "Is Mr. Feng coming today?"
"I'll have to wait a while, I passed by his house when I came, and he seemed to be still sleeping. After paying, the person who came smiled at Li Qingming and turned to leave.
Glancing at the door, Li Qingming quickly cleaned up the plates, put them in the basin in the back kitchen and returned to the counter. took out the soft pillow and lay on it, Li Qingming felt a little sleepy. Even if he slept twelve hours, fourteen hours, or even eighteen hours a day, Li Qingming would still be sleepy, as if he was born unable to wake up, and he couldn't wait to lie down and sleep for a long time. Fortunately, there is still a restaurant to operate, which is why he has been persevering.
The pebble that Li Qingming casually placed in the corner of the counter quietly shone brightly, and there was a faint sobering aroma. It was precisely because of this that Li Qingming didn't fall asleep, he picked up the pebbles and looked at them, but he still didn't see what it was.
The world of monsters is completely different from that of humans, even if the world that humans think has some mysteries of the world that have not been explored, not to mention the monsters, the things they take out have more or less magical functions, and Li Qingming is not surprised when he sees more. At least so far, he has never received anything harmful to him, fate is so wonderful, his birth made him desperate, but later his life was full of life.
It was late at night, except for Li Qingming's restaurant on this street, all the stalls were sampled, and only the light was not bright from this side, attracting passing guests.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, the sound of the wind chime changed again, Li Qingming raised his head instantly, and saw a tall and strong man walking in, he had a rare smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Feng." ”
"Yes. "The silhouette of the person who came was very handsome, but his facial features were always unclear, and he was wearing a black robe with low-key dark lines on it, and if anyone stared at those dark lines, they would definitely be sucked in, as if they were in a trance. He sat down at the table closest to the counter, glanced at the menu and said, "A bowl of tomatoes, eggs, and shredded pork with lo mein, no chopped green onions, another plate of cold dishes, and a glass of soju." ”
The ingredients have been prepared a long time ago, these are Li Qingming's specialty dishes, he made them in the shortest time, and finally took the wine glass and poured a glass of soju and put it in the tray, and served it out together.
Mr. Feng was still the same as when he came, his movements did not change in the slightest, and he only made a movement when the food was put on the table. He seemed to be a natural nobleman, every movement was very elegant, even if he ate noodles that were easy to splash with soup, he didn't make a sound, and he even had time to glance at Li Qingming.
Although he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, Li Qingming still knew that he was looking at himself. "Mr. Feng, I want to borrow a ** fan. Li Qingming felt that his heart was beating a little fast, but he knew that this feeling was not like the other party, it was just, just respect.
It only took a few minutes to finish eating, and the cup of soju was also drunk, Mr. Feng raised his hand and ordered the table, and then said, "It's not early, you can quickly pack up and rest." ”
"Mr. Wind walks slowly. Li Qingming said a few words rarely.
Mr. Feng, who had already left the restaurant, did not speak, he moved his fingers slightly, and the glass door that was originally wide and wide closed quietly, the door lock closed automatically, and even the wind chimes hanging on the door frame instantly stood still, silently. The lights in the store were still the same, and Li Qingming began to clean up the dishes, he was used to Mr. Feng's approach, and if the other monsters were the last to leave, they would also help close the door.
As for whether it is time to close the door, they naturally have their own way of judging. In the past, Li Qingming would be startled when he first came into contact with monsters, but after a long time, he calmed down, even if there was a monster carrying a cow to ask him to help make the dishes, he would not be surprised.
There is a hundred-yuan bill on the dining table, which is the revenge given by Mr. Feng, and there is a small finger-long fan, which is the sub-fan of the ** fan. The real ** fan has the ability to call the wind and the rain, so naturally it can't be lent lightly, let alone lent to the Li family. When I borrowed it for the first time, Li Qingming helped Mr. Feng come up with an idea, you don't need to borrow a real **fan, just borrow a little bit of the ability of the **fan and attach it to the sub-fan.
**Fan fans are just ordinary refining materials, and they are not difficult to prepare. After the finger-long small fan is endowed with the ability of the **fan, it feels heavy, like a good jade, and after opening it, you will find that it is not difficult to fan the wind, and it must be filled with enough spiritual power to activate the **fan, in order to play its role.
Li Qingming threw the ** fan on the counter, closed the main power switch, and went back to sleep.
This night, I hope it can be peaceful.
