There is a curfew at the time of the day, and a ban is open at the hour of the hour. The work and rest time in Zuoqiu City still follows the habits of the yang world, which is mainly to accommodate the living, but also a protective measure. During the curfew period, the Yin City became a ghost town, and the ghosts took over the entire lower city at this time, and the battles of the Little Ghost Gang were always there, but the wars of the Big Ghost Gang often started after the curfew.

Last night was another night of ghosts crying wolves. When I first arrived, I didn't get used to it, and I always woke up in the middle of the night. But every time I saw Tian Laolu on the opposite bed still playing sweet, I was not affected at all, and I had to lie back laughing at myself. Living in this yin city, the nerves need to be bigger, and people who are overly sensitive can't stay.

As soon as the clock rang, the men in the store, dead or alive, had to get up and work. The living need to eat breakfast, and the dead need to get over before they start their day's work. After breakfast, several nurses began to unload the door panels, ready to open the door for business.

Granny Qin was also quite elegant at this time, and she had to play a song before the opening as usual. The rhythm of her pipa is lively and brisk, which is refreshing to listen to, and even in the underworld where the rising sun cannot be seen, you can still feel the vigorous morning mood.

At the end of the song, the shopkeeper Teng Shuli stepped forward with a smile and asked, "How is the business in the store today?" ”

Granny Qin closed her eyes and perceived, and then only said two words lightly: "Daji!" ”

Teng Shuli was very happy to hear this. He opened his throat and shouted, "Did you hear that?" Good luck! Get me moving! Prepare more ingredients in the kitchen, and the longevity restaurant will definitely be full of customers and business is booming today! ”

Since the boss shouted like this, everyone naturally didn't dare to slack off, and without saying a word, they immediately started working in a hurry!

Yesterday, the kitchen was stocked with two large mutated earthworms, like giant pythons. Yu Lazi and I each had one piece, first cut the belly to remove the dirt and wash it, and then cut it into small pieces. This is the main ingredient of a dish called "Worm Essence Baking Classic", which has been selling very well recently.

The earthworm meat is quite elastic, and it should be smeared and marinated with rice wine and minced sand ginger for five minutes, then wrapped in tin foil, buried in coarse sea salt, and stir-fried over low heat for an hour.

After cutting the big earthworms, Yu Lazi asked me to boil a pot of dark sea shell soup. I washed a few sea shells and put them in a large clay pot, filled them with chicken broth, and added various ingredients and herbs to prepare the kung fu soup. However, at this time, I saw a sudden circle of ripples on the soup noodles.

"The water boiled so quickly?" I was a little surprised, but it wasn't right to think about it, "I just started the fire, can't it be so fast?" ”

I looked closely, and the soup in the clay pot was still shaking gently, and then gradually increasing in amplitude, until it began to beat violently, splashing some soup. The clay pot was also unstable on the stove and slipped to the side.

"Earthquake?" I quickly held the clay pot with my hand, paying attention to feel the vibration under my feet.

There was indeed a tremor, and the tremor was noticeable!

However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be an earthquake?

It was a rhythmic vibration, one after another. Speaking of which, it feels like there's a giant beast walking around, just like the classic scene of dinosaurs in Jurassic Park!

Several other chefs finally noticed it, and everyone looked at each other, full of doubts, and finally their eyes focused on the head chef Yu Razi. In the kitchen, he has been in Zuoqiu City for the longest time and has the most experience.

"What's that?" I asked him.

Yu Lazi put down the kitchen knife in his hand, his face was serious, and he replied, "A big ghost is coming!" ”

"Big ghost? How big is it? ”

"Listen to it, it's very loud!"

"What kind of big devil will come to us? What are you going to do? ”

"I don't know, I just hope there won't be a big incident today!" Yu Lazi shook his head, and his tone was very solemn.

As he spoke, the vibration became stronger and stronger, and even the footsteps could be heard very clearly. The shaking of the objects became more and more obvious, the pots and pans on the stove and table began to jump, and we had to stop what we were doing and move them to the ground.

The footsteps finally stopped, and everyone nervously pricked up their ears to listen. After a moment of calm, a thunderous voice suddenly came from outside, word by word: "Old! Board! You! This! Village! Be! No! Be! Yes! Big! Wok? ”

Human psychology is like this, the more scared you are, the more you want to see it. The people in the kitchen completely ignored the tension just now, and rushed out to see what kind of big ghost was talking.

Looking up, I saw a three-zhang tall skeleton standing in front of the Longevity Hotel, looking down on everyone. The top of its head is a lot higher than the roof of the hotel, the two eye holes on the skull are as deep as the sea, hiding two dark lights, and the two rows of white teeth in the upper and lower rows of its mouth are closed one by one, and the voice seems to come from the abyss underground. The skeleton on his body was as white as snow, but there was a thick black gas, and a thigh bone was thicker than the pillar in the Longevity Hotel.

Wei Dahu and several other guards are like great enemies, but with their size, they are completely inadequate in front of such a huge thing, as ridiculous as a mantis arm as a car. The other diners and guys in the lobby also trembled, and even covered their ears and fell to the ground, frightened.

"It's Skeletron!" Yu Lazi whispered to a few of us, "Except for him, there can't be such a big skeleton ghost in Zuoqiu City!" ”

Everyone was stunned, it turned out that it was the gang leader of Skull Mountain! Although everyone has heard of it for a long time, Skeletron is huge and intimidating, but seeing it with his own eyes today, he knows that the rumors are true!

Chief Bing, who was standing beside me, was muttering, "Didn't Granny Qin just say that today is good?" How did such a troublesome patron come here? ”

But no matter how he muttered, since Skeletron had already come to the door, no one dared to drive him back. The shopkeeper Teng Shuli was dumbfounded for a long time before he finally stepped forward tremblingly, and asked with a reluctant smile: "There is indeed a cauldron in this store...... I don't know, what kind of food do guests want to eat? ”

"Squeak......

A sharp grinding noise caused everyone in the restaurant and the ghost to cover their ears in unison. It turned out to be Skeletron turning around and dragging a big monster fish from behind him, which was the sound of the big fish rubbing on the ground.

Skeletron said in a deep voice, "Put! This! Strip! Ghost! Head! Shark! To give! I! Stew! Finish! ”

Everyone looked at that ghost shark, and wow! What a big, ugly fish!

The head of the ghost shark had no flesh on its head, it was all bone shells, and the large mouth occupied half of the entire head, and the upper and lower jaws each had hundreds of sharp teeth, and they were shining with cold light. The fish was covered with extremely hard scales, and it had just dragged all the way from the stone slabs in the street, and it had scraped out a few marks on the stone slabs. The tail and fins are also upright bone spurs that are as sharp as a knife blade.

But such a ghost shark, which should have been ferocious and terrifying, was lying at the feet of Skeletron but was just a dead fish waiting to be disemboweled, and put on the table!

Teng Shuli listened to Skeletron's words and was very embarrassed. He pointed to the ghost shark and said with a sad face: "We have a big pot in our store, and it's no problem to cook whole beef soup!" But boil this...... Uh, it's still not big enough......"

Indeed, that ghost shark was almost the size of three large buffaloes. If you want to find a big pot to stew it, unless it is specially made in advance, you can't find such a big pot in ordinary restaurants.

"Hmm...... ”

Skeletron groaned as he touched his chin, as if he was a little unhappy. The hotel is open for business, and it is most taboo to push the guests who come to the door out, but this "distinguished guest" is too unusual to provoke!

At this time, Tian Laolu hurriedly stepped forward and stabbed the shopkeeper Teng Shuli, and whispered something in his ear. Maybe it was Tian Laolu's trick, and Teng Shuli immediately nodded in agreement.

He asked Skeletron tentatively: "Guest, if you want to stew the whole fish, I guess I have searched all over Zuoqiu City, and there is no restaurant with such a big pot!" Uh, do you think that's going to work? We cut the fish into fillets, divide them into several pots and cook the fish soup at the same time, and you can eat whatever flavor you want! ”

"Hmmm......"

Skeletron was noncommittal, still looking down and considering. There are more than a dozen big ghosts behind it, although they are not as big as it, but they are all more than a foot tall, most of them are also skeleton ghosts, and some of them look strange. Needless to say, these henchmen brought by Skeletron should be the ghost bosses in Skull Mountain.

One of the ghost leaders said to Skeletron with a sneer: "Helper, the little ones have asked all the restaurants in Zuo City, and they really can't find such a big pot!" You see, if you don't do what the owner of this shop does, hehe! Let a few of our brothers taste a bite of fish soup early? ”

"The sixth is right! My saliva is running dry! ”

"I'm hungry too! Let's eat right here! ”

Skeletron listened to the advice of his men, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Hmm!"

It said to Uncle Teng: "Okay! Let's do it! Only! Boil! Fish! Slice! Soup! Let's do it! ”

Teng Shuli breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Skeletron what flavor he wanted to eat?

"Great! Wok! Want! Sour! Hot! Target! ”

"The more! Hot! Exceed! Good! ”

"Small! Wok! Follow! Convenient! ”

Teng Shuli went to ask the ghost leaders again: "What about you?" ”

"Then I'm going to eat light!" A ghost leader also hurriedly shouted, "The fish soup must be drunk in its original flavor to be delicious!" Boss, make a pot of light, add green vegetables and tofu on it! ”

"I want to eat tomato fish soup! The sweet and sour kind! ”

"Why do you all have to drink soup? I want to eat stir-fried, boss, stir-fry a pot of braised fish! ”

"Good, good! Either way! Teng Shuli hurriedly agreed, and stretched out his hand to beckon, "Come on, come on!" Come and sit down, and I'll leave it to the kitchen to take the fish in and process it! ”
