"Where have you ever been a chef before?" The owner of a small noodle restaurant on a boat asked me this during an interview.

"I worked in a restaurant outside Jiuqu City for a year." I prevaricated casually, and picked a better place to lie. The reason why Zuoqiu City and Longevity Hotel are not mentioned is to keep a low profile and not attract attention.

"I don't think you look like a cook, but like a porter who works as a coolie!" The boss frowned.

Indeed, the month-long runaway made me grow a short beard between inadvertently and inadvertently. In order to hide people's eyes, I deliberately strengthened this sloppy perception, continued to keep the scum, and kept my hair burned by the lava lake without trimming it, and then stained my clothes, and turned into a greasy uncle to apply.

I didn't expect such a "successful" disguise to attract a lot of contempt from the boss!

Actually, that boss isn't necessarily much better than me. He was also bearded, bald, and had a very serious old wound on his leg, and walked with a limp. But now that he's interviewing me, not me, I'm interviewing him, so I'll have to be more right.

I replied, "I did work as a clerk in a caravan before I came here, and I was in charge of cooking and moving goods. ”

"Why didn't you do it?"

"Because of the ghost bandits, the caravan's goods were robbed, and the boss went bankrupt directly after compensating the customer's losses, and the caravan could only be disbanded!"

"Oh, it turns out that I was also plagued by ghosts and bandits......"

The boss touched his chin and nodded, as if his perception had improved. He added, "Since you're here to apply for a job as a chef, show me your hand now." ”

"No problem, what do you want me to cook?"

"I'm a noodle shop, of course I'm making noodles!"

"What do you do?"

"Whatever! As long as it's noodles! ”

"Then I'll fry some noodles."

So, I went into the kitchen, found the ingredients and seasonings I needed, and started to stir-fry the noodles. Making noodles is not my forte, but with my level as a professional chef, the taste of the fried noodles is still not bad.

Soon, a plate of ordinary fried noodles with shredded pork was ready, and I brought it out and put it in front of the boss for him to taste. The boss picked up a chopstick and sucked it into his mouth and chewed it a few times, and his expression suddenly became very exciting.

"Well, yes, better than the one before you!" After the boss said that, he spat on the ground and scolded: "That guy's noodles are so unpalatable, he dares to mention the processing money to me." It's shameless! ”

When I heard this, I secretly stuck out my tongue and said in my heart: "It seems that this boss will not be a very generous person!" ”

Sure enough, although the boss was very satisfied with my cooking skills, he immediately decided to hire me to be the chef of this noodle restaurant, but the salary he could give was very low, only 50 yin yuan per month. This salary level is even half of what I did when I was at the Changshou Hotel.

Of course, I don't care about this now, and I didn't think about what money I could make working in such a small noodle restaurant, so I nodded and agreed. In addition, this job also includes food and lodging, and I sleep on the ship. This is a pretty good hiding place for me who deliberately wants to avoid the limelight.

This small noodle restaurant that doesn't even have a name on the ship, and the composition of the staff is simple and simple, but it is not simple or simple.

Simply refers to the number of people. Including the boss and me, there are two big living people and three ghost guys. The boss is responsible for collecting money and purchasing, and I am responsible for boiling soup and noodles in the kitchen, and there are two ghost guys who give me a hand, and there is only one running hall outside, who is also a ghost guy.

It's not simple, but it actually refers to the fact that the origin of everyone and every ghost in this noodle restaurant is not simple!

The boss's surname is Cha, and his name is ominous, so I keep calling him Boss Cha. According to his own words, Boss Cha used to be a squad leader in the Eighteen-Hole City Guard, but unfortunately he was cut in the leg and disabled during a large-scale battle in which water thieves attacked the Eighteen-Cave. He had no choice but to retire from the city guards, so he stayed in the 18th hole and bought a small broken boat and opened such a small noodle restaurant.

At present, the noodle restaurant business is fairly normal, except for last month, when my predecessor left because he failed to ask for a salary increase, which delayed some business. In fact, my arrival was, to some extent, "saved" the noodle shop from going out of business.

Just because Boss Cha is a stingy and nervous guy, the guys hired are also all kinds of "weird". In order to save labor costs, the noodle restaurant employs ghost servants, and there are three. They don't even have names, they are directly called by Boss Cha: Rolling Ghost, Scissor Ghost and Mocking Ghost.

The dough roller is actually a, not only resentful, but also tall, especially with unusually thick hands. It doesn't need to use a rolling pin when rolling the dough, it can use its two arms to knead and press the dough, and it can also make the dough unmatched. The noodle roller ramen and the dough puller also rely on its hands, and the strength is large and the hands are long, so it is the most suitable for doing these jobs.

The reason why he is willing to stoop here to be a noodle shop guy with the strength of a noodle rolling ghost has to talk about its origin. In fact, the dough roller didn't know how to roll dough before, but only cut people, and it was one of Boss Cha's subordinates when he was in the city guard. The dough roller was loyal to Boss Cha, and it was from that time that he began.

It's a pity that in the same water thief attack, Boss Cha was cut in the leg, and the dough roller was cut in the head, hurting the spirit of the eyebrow chakra. Since then, its intelligence has been impaired, and it will only do simple and repetitive tasks stupidly every day, and it is no longer suitable to stay in the city guards. So Boss Cha brought it out and taught it to start rolling dough.

Unexpectedly, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and the rolling ghost can be completely stimulated. It rolls out up to 1,200 catties of noodles a day, which is not only enough to supply the noodle consumption of this noodle restaurant, but also can be resold to other restaurants, and helps Boss Cha earn an extra income.

There is also a ghost guy in the kitchen, called Scissor Ghost, and it is a green ghost. The origin of the scissor ghost is also very peculiar, at the beginning, it was just a ghost slave in a tailor shop, and its two hands were sent by the boss to be refined into a scissor shape with alchemy, and it was responsible for cutting fabrics in the tailor shop every day.

Later, the owner of the tailor shop died, and it was resold to a gang of imps. The boss of the ghost gang saw that his hand was a knife, even if it was scissors, and thought that it could be used to cut people, so he trained it to become a ghost gang minion. During his days as a minion, Scissorghost learned to fight, slash people, and was displaced everywhere with the decline of the Ghost Gang.

In fact, the scissor ghost is quite introverted, although it always has two large scissors in its hands, but it doesn't like to cut people, so it likes to do some manual work. When he was exiled to the eighteenth hole, Boss Cha happened to lack a nursing home, so he took it in. Therefore, at present, Scissor Ghost's job is to nurse the yard and help the cook, and the work of cutting vegetables and shaving noodles is also entrusted to it.

The last ghost guy, the only runner, is even more bizarre, called the Mocking Ghost, who looks like a short old man.

This guy has a very good mouth and seems to understand everything. If you don't stop it, it can catch you nagging all day!

What's more, this guy doesn't know how to read the occasion when he speaks, and he starts to ridicule others and say some cool things. Sometimes when he makes two mistakes, he dares to say bad things about the boss, which always makes the boss angry. Therefore, Boss Cha scolded it all day long, told it to talk less when it ran to the hall to receive guests, it was better to keep its mouth shut, and threatened to fire it more than once.

The sarcastic ghost is very afraid of Boss Cha firing it, because it seems to have no special skills except for its mouth. It's not angry enough, it's just a gray ghost, I really don't know why Boss Cha was willing to take it in the first place?

Later, I learned that sarcastic ghosts still have some real skills. Not only does it drive boats, but it also repairs ships, and it does some carpentry work on the ship. Presumably, the boss kept it in case of emergency, and it can be used when it is critical.

In addition to a few of them, not to mention myself, since I was in Nanting, selling barbecue, learning origami, learning to stir-fry, running takeaways, being a chef, catching ghosts, walking darts, exploring, playing in the gladiatorial arena, and being a general in the Yin Army, in just ten years, I have actually done ten or eight occupations, and learned dozens of skills!

Well, at the end of the day, now I have to start as a noodle chef again, is it a kind of irony?

But the situation is stronger than people, and besides, I only came here for a temporary stay, and when Liu Han comes to the eighteenth hole to find me, the two of us are likely to go away again and become a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks.

With such a relaxed mentality, I did a very good job in the small noodle restaurant, and even the boss of the check seemed to have found a treasure, and he praised me almost every day. The business of the noodle shop has also become a little more lively than before because of my arrival, and Boss Cha can count the money in his dreams at night until he wakes up with a smile.

I haven't been able to sleep well. No matter who lives incognito and trembles on the way to escape, I am afraid that it is difficult to have a good quality of sleep.

That night, I couldn't sleep again, so I climbed to the top of the boat to blow the wind. After sitting for a while, I pulled out the little porcelain vase from my body. Now that they have run out of the underworld, there is no need for the bookworm ghost I am carrying to hide all the time, so I just let it go and ask what its plans are in the future?

The bookworm ghost looked around, looked at the unfamiliar environment, and was stunned for a long time before asking, "Where is this?" ”

"Eighteen holes." I said.

"Where is Eighteen Holes?" The bookworm ghost still had no idea about this place name in his head, and asked, "Not far from the underworld?" ”

I told it, "Cave 18 is just a small place in the middle of nowhere, and it's quite far from the underworld. If you walk, it will take you about a month and a half to get here. ”

The bookworm ghost was still not at ease, and stupidly asked me to confirm: "So, am I really free?" ”

"You're really free!" I replied firmly, "Now you can go wherever you want!" ”

"It's a good feeling!" The bookworm ghost was very happy, with a look of longing.
