Five years later, Earth, Guangzhou Restaurant.

"Master, the turnover of our restaurant has increased by 3 percentage points this month, and the scheduled time is scheduled for next month, and the end of the year is coming soon, does the master really not consider opening a branch next year?" The bright-eyed young man stood in the top-floor office, looked at the woman sitting in the chair and asked with a smile.

The woman on the seat smiled, her black and white eyes were full of fine light, and she opened her lips slightly: "Xiao Zhang, don't think that I don't know what you think, either you have to stay here honestly and learn to cook, or hurry up and pack up and leave, you can't look at a Guangzhou restaurant on the left and right." ”

"Eh, master, don't let me go, can't I say it!" Seeing that his master was angry, the young man hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, master, are you going to tonight's banquet?" ”

"Am I not going to do it? After all, it is the annual meeting of the restaurant, since I have promised the old man to run the restaurant well, even if what awaits me at this annual meeting is a sea of swords and fires, I will not back down! ”

Li Muchen frowned unconsciously, although he was reluctant in his heart, his eyes were full of firmness, and his white teeth bit his bright red lips, as if life and death were righteous.

"No...... Isn't it just an annual meeting and a banquet for old friends? Are you so embarrassed? Xiao Zhang hugged his shoulders and glanced at Li Muchen, not understanding Li Muchen's pain at all.

"Stinky boy, what do you know, in the past few years since I came back, the old man has been asking me to go on a blind date, and I have met fewer strange things? The old man also invited so many nominal friends at this annual meeting, it must have ulterior motives, maybe how many 'sons of friends' are waiting for me to go on a blind date! ”

Li Muchen felt a wave of nausea in his heart when he thought of the blind date man he had met, I really don't know what the old man of her family thinks, I don't ask her where she went five years ago, and I don't ask her what happened five years ago, she is bent on recruiting a son-in-law for herself, as if her own daughter can't get married, which really makes her love and hate!

Seeing Li Muchen's depressed expression, Xiao Zhang no longer dismantled her stage, and comforted her: "Okay, master, don't be angry, uncle is also for your good, uncle is old, isn't his biggest wish for his daughter to be happy?" If you really don't want to go on a blind date, hurry up and find someone to marry! ”

Li Muchen was stunned, his fingers unconsciously stroked the broken ring on his fingertips, and suddenly became silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Master?" Xiao Zhang interrupted when he looked at Li Muchen's distracted appearance, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Every time you talk about this, master, you like to play with this ring, who gave it to you?" Could it be that the master already has a person in his psychology? ”

Li Muchen glanced at the shyly Xiao Zhang, withdrew his fingers, gathered the documents on the desktop, and said, "I'm going to work, go do your job." ”

was ordered to be evicted, Xiao Zhang was no longer bored, bowed to his master, and retired honestly.

After Xiao Zhang left, Li Muchen turned the back of his hand over, and the familiar imprint came into view, Li Muchen whispered: "Little Baozi, I don't know why, I always think of him recently, you say, has he forgotten me......"

After Li Muchen finished speaking, he quietly waited for a response, but all that responded to her was endless silence and loneliness, and the corner where the little bun in her body was resident was empty, as if nothing had ever appeared......

Five years ago, Li Muchen used his body as a medium to completely release the ability to eat spirits, activated the Ring of Time and Space according to the instructions of the elder, and returned to Earth.

Because the earth is the most suitable place for the soul to live, the soul eater who has lost his spiritual power will fall into a deep sleep to recuperate, and only on the earth will the spirit eater keep his body incorruptible and sleep peacefully until he wakes up.

Li Muchen originally thought that as long as she sent the food spirit back to Earth, she could still use the time and space ring to return to the food planet and continue to help Kong Chengxi clean up the mess, but she didn't expect that when she crossed back, her body couldn't bear the huge spiritual power of the food spirit and first fell asleep for nearly a year before waking up, and after waking up, she found that the ring on her hand had been damaged, and the food spirit in her body seemed to be gone.

Li Muchen had no choice but to keep guarding the broken ring and the mark on her hand, now she didn't know the situation of the food planet at all, and she didn't know if Zhan Xingnan and Bai Lin had returned to where they should be, that memory was repeated in her mind, but after a long time, Li Muchen couldn't even tell whether it was a dream, or her imagination, or if it really happened.

Later, she didn't care anymore, the ring was broken, and she had no way to travel anywhere, so it was better to stay on Earth honestly and help her father run the Guangzhou Restaurant.

Determined, Li Muchen no longer hesitated, it took less than three years to take his own restaurant to the next level, every day to book the banquet phone burst the front desk, the queue of people also crowded in front of the restaurant, people who know how to know say that the current Guangzhou restaurant is different from the past, a dish is hard to find, as long as you can taste a bite of the delicious taste of the Guangzhou restaurant, even if you die, there is no regret!

There are more and more people who come to admire, including those who come to learn from the teacher, Li Muchen doesn't know how many people have refused, and the only disciple is Xiao Zhang of Fang Cai, that is, Zhang Fried Rice's grandson.

When he held his bag and cried in front of Li Muchen, saying that if he couldn't worship her as a teacher, Zhang Fried Rice would never let him enter the house, Li Muchen was stunned, Zhang Fried Rice, suddenly thought of the days when he fought side by side with Kong Chengxi, and the ghost made a god agree.

Since then, Xiao Zhang has become Li Muchen's only closed disciple, and he has declared that he will not accept a second apprentice, Li Muchen's life is pure, and Xiao Zhang has also become a big man in Guangzhou Restaurant.

The night lights in Guangzhou are dim, Li Muchen changed into a dress and appeared at the annual meeting generously, her father finished speaking, it was her who was the heir of the restaurant to speak, Li Muchen was rare and elegant, standing on the microphone money, his tone was gentle and dignified summarized the past, expressed the present, and longed for the future. In a warm applause, he thanked slightly, lifted his skirt and left the stage.

"Chenchen, it's a good job, Dad never thought that my family's Chenchen would have such a glorious day."

Li Decheng looked at his slim daughter who was in a good mood, holding Li Muchen's hand for a long time and refusing to let go, in fact, since beating Li Muchen into a coma, Li Decheng swore that as long as his daughter can wake up, he would rather have no one inherit the century-old restaurant, and would rather lose all his identity, status and money, and just ask his daughter to wake up safely.

Li Muchen was infected by Li Decheng's emotions, shook his hands back, leaned on his shoulders, and said emotionally: "Dad, you have worked hard all these years, if you hadn't been supporting me behind my back, I wouldn't have started the restaurant business so quickly, and half of my daughter's brilliance today will be shared with you." ”

Li Decheng listened to Li Muchen's words very usefully, smiled beautifully, caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, and said to Li Muchen with great interest: "Chenchen, I saw your Uncle Wang, I heard that their son just came back from abroad, if you really thank your father, why don't you go with your father to say hello to Uncle Wang?" ”

moved for only three seconds, Father Li's nature has not changed, and his worries about his daughter's marriage are more important than everything.

Li Muchen secretly rolled his eyes, his face remained silent, he quietly took a step sideways, covered his stomach, and said to Li Decheng: "Dad...... Ah, Dad, I suddenly feel a little pain in my stomach, so let's go and say hello to Uncle Wang first, I'll go to the bathroom, and I'll be back soon. ”

Saying that, he was about to run away, Li Decheng grabbed Li Muchen and snorted: "Don't think I don't know what you think, you are 25 years old, and you will be 30 in two years, when you become an old girl and can't get married, what will happen to me for the rest of your life?" ”
