In order to hide my eyes, I became a chef again at a shipside restaurant in Cave 18. Even though it's a meager salary, it's a good way to hide. I eat on a boat, I live on a boat, I follow the rules, I do things in a low-key way, and generally no one should suspect me.

After fleeing all the way here and settling down for a while, I suddenly remembered that I still had a bookworm ghost with me, so I released it and told it, "You're free!" ”

The bookworm ghost is very happy, and he feels like he has seen the light of day again. Even if it is impossible to see the sun in this underworld, it will never see the sun again as a ghost.

Moreover, it didn't take long for the bookworm ghost to get up and get into trouble again. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, and began to smile bitterly: "I am free, but I don't know anything about this underworld. In the past, Cui Yu kept scaring me, saying that it was very chaotic outside the underworld, and many people would either kill them when they saw ghosts, or they would be arrested and become slaves, so that I could stay in the Yin Law Division. General Zhai, tell me, is the underworld what Cui Yu said? ”

I could only nod helplessly when I heard this, and said, "Although what Cui Yu said was just to scare you, it was very one-sided and a bit exaggerated, but it was not a lie." Outside the underworld, in the underworld, it is true that the status of ghosts is not high. If you don't want to be killed or captured as a ghost slave, you have to find a place to stay, at least have a backer. ”

"But I've been locked up in the library for so many years that I don't know what to do here, and I don't know where to go. And how do you find a backer? The bookworm ghost cried and begged me again: "General Zhai, I know you now, or you will be my backer, right?" ”

I also began to smile bitterly and said to it: "I am now unable to protect myself, I am displaced, and I am in danger, where can I be your backer?" ”

The bookworm ghost begged bitterly: "General Zhai, at least you still have a place to settle now, if I leave you, I will really become a lonely ghost!" I don't want to be caught as a ghost! ”

I had no choice but to agree, and said, "Okay, you should follow me for the time being." If you have other ideas in the future, you can always leave. ”

"Thank you, General Zhai! Thank you, General Zhai! The bookworm ghost was so grateful that he kept kowtowing to me, "You are my reborn parents!" ”

"Hey! But I have one more condition! I hurriedly stopped it and said, "Don't call me General Zhai again in the future, if you call me again, I'll be exposed!" ”

"And what should I call you?" The bookworm ghost was stunned.

"Call me Master Feng, Master Feng who specializes in making noodles!"

"Okay, Zhai ...... Master Feng. ”

That's right, in order not to reveal my identity, I temporarily changed my master's surname to Feng. Boss Cha was deceived by my sloppy appearance, thinking that my age was not necessarily much younger than him, so he kept calling me "Lao Feng".

Alas, from Xiao Zhai for many years to Lao Feng, years! What the hell have you done to me?

However, when it comes to the new identity of "Lao Feng", I still played it well!

The boatmen, porters and merchants in the eighteenth cave gradually all knew that there was a special chef Feng who cooked noodles in this small noodle restaurant on the boat. Many people come here just to take a bite of the noodle soup I cooked and eat a bowl of noodles that I stir-fried.

Eighteen Caves is just a small place, there are no big restaurants or restaurants, and people's requirements for food are basically to fill their stomachs. And I'm also from a professional background, and I have many years of experience as a chef, so it's not difficult to make decent noodles. Besides, I don't have much to do now, so I just take how to make a bowl of noodles as a self-challenge.

Every day, I constantly wonder how I can make the best use of the ingredients and seasonings I have at hand to get the most out of them. Soon, in addition to the only few noodle soups and fried noodles on the original menu, I was able to research braised noodles, bibimbal noodles and cold noodles without any tutudi. Through communication with dough rollers and scissor ghosts, several different noodle shapes were developed.

Now, the menu in Boss Cha's noodle restaurant is not enough to write, and he has to make a new one. However, Boss Cha is very supportive of this, and he is happy to buy any new seasonings I need. The only thing he shy away from talking about was a wage increase.

At first, I was a little apprehensive, afraid that if I became too famous, it would be self-defeating. But after a slow observation, I found that the customers were only interested in my face, and never asked to meet me, "Master Feng", so I was relieved.

This is the best, even if someone from the underworld comes to the eighteenth cave to find out my whereabouts in the future. The locals will definitely not associate me, "Master Feng", who is very good at making noodles, with a "General Zhai" of the Difu Yin Army who has never met.

This should be the best interpretation of "hidden in the city"!

After the day's closing, I was able to come out of the kitchen to rest after the day's work. Boss Cha went outside to collect the accounts, and the remaining three ghost guys and I were in the noodle restaurant to watch the house.

The sarcasm pulled out a bottle of wine out of nowhere and beckoned us to drink with it.

I wondered, "You still like to drink?" ”

The sarcastic ghost pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "What a fuss, I drank more good wine than you drank milk in my life!" ”

I choked on it for no reason, and I was upset and didn't want to deal with it anymore. Anyway, I have a shadow about drinking, unless it's a friend who invites me to do it. The scissor ghost and the dough rolling ghost are also good at this bite, and they all squeeze over to beg for a drink.

The mocker drank two glasses, and his interest was high, and he came running over with a glass of wine to persuade me to drink it. It said: "I, the 'man', talk like this, and often can't turn around, no wonder! No wonder! ”

Since it was willing to apologize, I didn't need to bother with it, so I took the wine and drank it.

The sarcastic ghost saw me give face, and his interest was even higher. It caught me just a nonsense, bragging all over the world, saying that it had seen so many worlds and done so many great things, and it couldn't count them!

I listened to it as a joke at the beginning, and from time to time I echoed a few sentences, which should be used to help the wine. But after the conversation began, the sarcastic ghost actually brought the topic back to me and inquired about my origins.

It asked me with a big tongue: "Old Feng, you can deceive Boss Cha, but you can't deceive me!" ”

"What did I lie to you?" I was suddenly startled by it and hurriedly asked.

"You, you're definitely not just a cook!"

I smiled reluctantly and prevaricated, "Hey! I have worked not only as a cook, but also as porters and caravan men! I said this when I came. ”

"And that's not all!" The sarcastic ghost waved his hand vigorously and glared at me, "I can see that you have been restraining the yin power in your body, and your yin power is definitely far more weak than you appear!" ”

As soon as I heard this, my face immediately pulled down.

In order to play the role of "Lao Feng", an ordinary cook, I have indeed been deliberately concealing my cultivation and trying to avoid using too much yin power to fry ghost meals. I never thought that I would still be seen by the ridicule ghost. This guy has a big mouth, and it's hard to guarantee that he'll be talking all over the place.

"And, and your eyes!" The sarcasm squinted at me, his fingers almost poking my fingers in the face.

I looked at it with a sneer and asked rhetorically, "What's wrong with my eyes?" ”

"When your eyes are looking at the living, they are bright, sharp, and wary!" The sarcastic ghost still doesn't know what to do, and continues to pick at my old bottom. Its observation is really good, but unfortunately, it doesn't know how to understand current affairs!

I had almost made up my mind in my mind: in order to avoid revealing my identity, I am afraid that I would have to be ruthless this time. Even if it's a misunderstanding, I have to get rid of this unlucky ghost who could ruin my entire plan at any moment!

"But, Lao Feng, it's too condescending for you to stay here!" The sarcastic ghost suddenly changed his words again, and said with a smile: "Boss Cha is not a generous boss, he is the most picky!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

The sarcastic ghost said, "Do you still need to ask?" Didn't the previous chef quit because the boss refused to raise his salary? Look at you again, although you have only been here for a month, you have already brought so many changes and made so much money to this small noodle restaurant. But look at the boss, did he say a word about giving you a salary increase? ”

My guard relaxed a little, and I smiled: "Maybe it's because I'm new to the city, Boss Cha didn't mention it, right?" Perhaps, next month, he will think about it. ”

"Phew!" The sarcastic ghost looked indignant, spat it, and then scolded: "Just that iron rooster and miser, if he is willing to give you a salary increase, then the sun will come out of the underworld!" ”

"The sun is out?" As soon as the dough roller heard this, he quickly got up and looked out the window, and screamed stupidly: "The sun is out!" Out of the sun! ”

I also looked outside, and where the sun was, there was just a big ship outside, and a few open flame lanterns hung on it. This dough roller's brain is really not very good.

The scissors ghost couldn't listen anymore, and advised the mocker: "Hey, don't talk nonsense when you're drunk." At the beginning, the boss took you in, don't forget your roots! ”

"Whew!" The sarcastic ghost became even more angry, jumped up and scolded: "Do you think he took me in out of kindness? It was because I had no way out at that time, and I was forced to promise him: as long as I could stay as a buddy, I could not be paid! So I've been working for him for free, okay? I've been doing it for so long, even if he adds a few Yin Yuan to me! ”

"And look at his face, bald, bearded, lame! is stingy, has a bad temper, and looks even more obscene! He is more pathetic than we are! ”

At this moment, a person "slammed" the door open and broke into the noodle restaurant. Everyone looked back, and it was Boss Cha who came back!
