Chapter 5: The Destiny of the Journey
Jiang Shangke is not a rich young master who is so rich that he eats in a restaurant, he even has to figure out his own living expenses, he just started working at night.
Two hours later, he was in a white chef's suit, working in the kitchen, helping with seasoning and side dishes.
In this era, it is not easy to enjoy delicious natural food, at least Jiang Shang himself has become accustomed to the soapy smell of synthetic food.
The young man has been trained in long-term martial arts with slender and powerful arms, even without the increase of soul energy, and he can easily use bulky kitchen utensils.
The cutting and washing is fast and accurate, but there is some special rhythm between movements, which is Jiang Shang taking the opportunity to exercise his basic skills.
Unlike my own daily energy usage that is calculated to the minute, this restaurant is open to energy.
The dishes are quickly baked, and the dishes are placed by the window facing the street before they are introduced, and the aroma coming from the kitchen under the encouragement of the exhaust fan will attract more passers-by.
The gluttonous childhood sweetheart and sister, long-term independent life, and limited daily necessities have allowed Jiang Shang to specialize in cooking for many years, which is enough to serve as the head chef of this Chinese restaurant.
Through careful exploration of various recipes and ingredients, Jiang Shang is best at using cheap ingredients to make the taste of luxurious meals, and the fat restaurateur likes Jiang Shang the most, but this is exactly what he likes.
Of course, being able to get a chef for the price of a helper may be the reason why the owner of this restaurant will make up his mind to hire the underage Jiang Shang privately.
Although it is not as good as the average income of a chef in the commercial area of nearly 4,000 calories a month, the income of 1,000 calories a month is already very rich in Jiang Shang's eyes.
But alas, it seems that today is really unlucky, and trouble is still coming to the door.
"Bang! Let the chef come out, there are actually cockroaches in the borscht! You're trying to poison us. ”
The fat bear's huge body occupied half of the round table, and in front of this roaring bear man (beast subhuman), this table that could seat more than a dozen people was a little small.
"It's really a filthy place, will you meet a chess lizard (a type of small abandoned beast) in the meal next time, boss, come out, where did you die?"
It was a wolf-eared beast subhuman, the lewd man, who was using his actions to show what it meant to be a fox and a fake tiger.
Jiang Shang in the kitchen sighed helplessly, and through the small window, he saw that those guys had finished their meals, and the borscht that found the cockroaches had already drunk only the bottom of the bowl.
"Are there cockroaches and still drink them all? It's shameless. ”
These noisy guys are nothing more than planning to eat the overlord meal.
The restaurateur may be a good profiteer, but he is not a capable man with a backstage, especially when the overlord is a fierce beast subhuman.
If you call the police, when the police come late, these guys will have run away a long time ago, and the police will not want to track down such a small matter.
In the eyes of this fat profiteer, instead of calling the police to provoke possible revenge, it is better to avoid the disaster, and then blacklist these guys and refuse to accept them next time.
But this is already the fourth overlord meal this month, and business is getting harder and harder, but as a profiteer's boss, how can he suffer.
He will raise the price of best-selling dishes, reduce the size of a single meal, and deduct the wages of his staff to recoup lost profits from other customers and employers.
At the very least, it's much cheaper to do so than to hire a resident thug.
This time, the fat boss named Kert also intends to do the same.
"I'm sorry, two big brothers, since that's the case, let's get rid of the order this time."
The fat bear man nodded in satisfaction, but the kobold military advisor rolled his eyes and was not satisfied.
"What do you mean! Fatty, do you think we don't have the money to pay? You dare to look down on people too much, and if you spoil Lao Tzu's mood, you have to pay at least 10,000 cards. ”
"Yes. Little thing, don't think that Lao Tzu is so foolish, Lao Tzu is smart. The rough-voiced bear subhuman pointed at Kert and roared.
In the front hall and kitchen, Kete and Jiang Shang frowned at the same time, and the boss frowned, because he found that it was too easy to admit defeat, these guys thought that this store was easy to bully, and they were going to make more money.
And Jiang Shang will be unhappy because he has already guessed the development after that.
"Jiang Shang!! Come out and apologize to the guest. ”
The fat boss, who smiled at the guests, turned around, but roared at the kitchen.
From the Buddha to the angry King Kong, it only took him a second.
"Hey, I can't do this job anymore. Now at the end of June, the graduation season is approaching, and there will be another group of internal service students who will graduate and find jobs. There will be no shortage of cheap new labor. It seems that the boss intends to take the opportunity to lose his salary. ”
Jiang Shang, who knew what he knew, had no intention of going over, so he took off his snow-white chef's hat and threw it aside, while continuing to look through his study manual and seize the time to read his book.
"Guess what this fat man will say. First of all, he should put all the blame on me......."
Seeing that the kitchen was not reacting, Kate's face turned red, and his hair stood on end as if he had drunk a porcupine.
"It's all your fault! I only criticized you twice, you actually deliberately threw cockroaches in the soup to ruin my reputation! You villain! You scoundrel from the ghetto! ”
Closing the book, Jiang Shang walked towards the back door of the kitchen.
“…… Sure enough, it's really superficial....... next, I will pretend to go berserk and use the dismissal of me to daoqian to the guest......"
"Boy, listen to me, you're fired, FIRE, pack up your things, get out of here!"
Even the two villains of the Overlord Meal took a step back slightly, dodging the splash of saliva.
"....... if I raise my salary...... will pretend to be angry and pay the bills to the end. ”
Facing the direction where the boss was, Jiang Shang shouted.
"Boss, I haven't been paid this month. Also, according to the usual practice, if I am dismissed, I will be given at least one month's salary as severance pay. ”
"Salary, you still dare to ask me for salary, and I also ask you for damages to the restaurant's reputation. Bah! I don't know what to do, pack up my things quickly and get out of the way for Lao Tzu. Otherwise, Lao Tzu will ask the mercenaries of the Chamber of Commerce to kill you. ”
The thunderstorm was thundering, and the hair was already standing on end.
turned his head, but it was a commercial smile that flattered him.
"Two adults, I have already fired him, I am angry for you, we will free the charge for this meal."
The two who obviously came to make trouble, although they were clamoring to fire the chef just now, they didn't expect that the fat boss would really fire the chef because of this.
“…… Well. ”
"That's pretty much it."
The two spoke mumbly, and Kert turned to the kitchen to growl again.
"Boy, fuck me off today!"
As a result, the boss of Kete paid a loss of 40 cards, saving 1,000 cards of this month's salary and 2,000 cards of severance pay as scheduled.
"Hey, I thought I could do it until the newcomers arrived, and crossing the river and demolishing the bridge was faster than I imagined."
The progress was exactly the same as expected, but it didn't make Jiang Shang happy, after all, even if he knew the boss's plan, he had no way to resist.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the store manager found a reason to fire himself, even if it was brought to the government, he had no chance of winning as a minor illegal child laborer.
Superfluous words are not necessary, meaningless anger will only make you feel uncomfortable, and children without parents have learned to endure when they are not as good as others.
"Haode, I resign."
Smiling doesn't solve the problem, but it can make you feel better.
He turned around and left without looking back, and the voice of the boss came from behind him.
"Are the grown-ups happy with the way our Frye restaurant handles....... as compensation, we'll offer free cold cuts, wait a while."
And in the background, it's a different face.
"Flode, get out of here, and like the others, you'll be my temporary chef until I find a new chef." Now, keep an eye on that kid and don't let him take away a scoop and a chopstick. Otherwise, I'll deduct it from your wages!" ”
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps from behind, Jiang Shang shook his head with a wry smile, and opened the back door directly, but he was stunned for a moment.
Just one glance, as if the blood had turned into ice.
In front of him was a white-robed man wearing a golden triangle mask, and at this moment, he was changing his clothes, and on the ground on the side, the school emblem of Haiming No. 1 Middle School, where Jiang Shang studied, was flashing with blue brilliance!
"Damn, the secretary of the platinum will, it would be him!"
Behind the restaurant, there is a secluded alley, and in the past, it was full of garbage bags thrown out from behind.
There is no light here, as long as it covers his soul stone, it is a corner where no one can see.
Perhaps, that's why the speaker chose to change his clothes here.
Although the mask was not taken off, the one with the school emblem must be a student of No. 1 Middle School, so it is not difficult to guess the identity of the other party.
There are more than 3,000 students in the entire Haiming City, and there are only four of them who have third-level gem-grade soul stones, and three of them are night chanters, one man and two women.
One of the women is Si Luer in his class, but the one in front of him is a man, although he didn't see the portrait clearly, but the one in front of him is naturally ...
"It's Li Zhenwen of Class B, the son of the Li family. Damn it! ”
After looking at each other, the man's eyes widened, and then he pulled down the mask sharply, and a fierce light flashed in the light blue crystal eyes.
Jiang Shang gasped and instinctively took a step back, the other party obviously had bad intentions.
"The back door of the restaurant? You're really unlucky, don't blame me. ”
Dark blue brilliance converged on 'Li Zhenwen''s arm, and a giant metal claw that exuded metallic brilliance appeared in the void.
'Li Zhenwen' stretched out his right hand and grabbed at the void, and the metal arm the size of a small car also grabbed out of thin air.
A piece of the entire restaurant kitchen was forcibly poached, and the high level of soul light made Jiang Shang lose his vision, and what he saw in front of him was a bewitching flash.
A huge blue flash obscured everything, and what followed was unbearable pain.
"Ahhh
His eyes were already red, his hands were full of his own blood, and in front of high-level soul power, he was barely able to use a large-scale soul technique that covered the entire dodge space, and his martial arts skills that he had practiced for nearly ten years were not worth mentioning.
"Could it be...... Can't even fight back. ”
With endless chagrin, his consciousness has begun to blur, and in a trance, what Zuihou saw was the back of 'Li Zhenwen' leaving.
The alley was already in shambles, and the three-meter-long scratches on the walls were showing the power of the blow.
In my ears was the exclamation of Flode, the evil chef of the restaurant.
"Boss! Boss, no, there's a homicide. ”
"We're it, we're here. Ahhh Come and save people! Hey, you can't die in my restaurant. ”
Blood kept oozing out, the pain in his chest was terrible, and his consciousness had begun to be confused, but he heard a voice.
"Cut, it's too late?! Well, and breathing...... Hey, boy, hold on. Hey, hold on, my sister's task is not completed yet, don't die! ”
"Whose voice, a little familiar......."
Jiang Shang wanted to open his eyes and see, but after a large amount of blood loss, his eyelids were as heavy as lead.
“…… If you die, this scene can't be played, so let's be a dead horse doctor! Wake up, Star Soul! ”
With a low groan, a faint starlight overflowed, and the stars began to fall.
"It turns out that the star soul awakened too early, and the manifester was too young, so he would fall into a deep sleep again...... Unknown Heroic Soul, please heed our call, your manifestation is enough to carry your existence, please return again.........."
In the starlight, the blood began to flow backwards, and it returned to the great wound in the chest.
"It's done!"
Then, the wound begins to heal, the missing internal organs and skin begin to regenerate, and the miracle of life ensues.
Meteors fall, the stars shine brightly, and the dirty and narrow alleys become magical,
Then, as Jiang Shang resumed his breathing, everything returned to calm.
"Who is it?"
I barely opened my eyes, but what I saw was the back of the red fire.
