Chapter 14: The Boy Knows the Taste of Sorrow
Bozhi's face became worse, and he made an excuse to sneak out.
Ning Ran was thinking about how to get into the mastery field of the City Lord's Mansion, and then surprise Uncle Ai.
When he went out, he saw Bozhi leaning against the wall, and the two looked at each other. Bo Zhi hesitated for a while, but still pulled Ning Ran: "Ning Ran, are the residents of your floating island all practicing the power of fire?"
Ning Ran noticed Bo Zhi's abnormality, but it was also inconvenient to say: "Are you stupid, there will definitely be ordinary people who can't cultivate." I don't think there are many ordinary people here in Yuting Pass. ”
"Then, what about tens of millions of you, probably a few percent of your cultivators?" Bo Zhi's hand trembled slightly, as if he didn't want to hear a very high number.
"Let's put it this way, only those who can't pass the high priest's basic exam won't cultivate. However, everyone has a certain amount of fire power to a greater or lesser extent, and even our chefs can control the flames to cook. Ning Ran slapped the back of his head, "That's right, why didn't I think of it! Use my cooking skills to serve the City Lord's Mansion, or you will be able to enter!"
Ning Ran turned around and lightly slapped Bo Zhi: "You really did a great favor." ”
This matter is very important, Bo Zhi left a message to Ning Ran and hurriedly said goodbye to him.
Bo Zhi couldn't understand that there were still people who could compare with demigods in such a powerful territory and profound heritage? Why did he not hear about the war for so many days, could it be that there would be a greater conspiracy?
In fact, the patriarch did not have the slightest idea of aggression. In the floating islands, he ordered to speed up the training of new guards and temple guards in each district to prepare for resistance. In the face of the temptation of the outside world, you must be careful in whatever you do. The high priest, on the other hand, arranged preaching in the temple at the same time in various districts, suppressing the hearts of some of the islanders.
The patriarch assured that if the outside world was safe enough, it was up to the islanders to choose whether to go or stay. But no matter what, the floating islands will always be their homeland.
And now, the hot topic on the floating island is whether to stay and continue to inherit and develop, or to explore the unknown new world, everyone has their own ideas. It's not that there are no evil people on the island, it's just that those who break the law will be quickly caught doing hard labor. After all, it's useless to run anywhere within the barrier.
But now times have changed, and they can go to new and unknown worlds! Overnight, organizations that have left the floating islands are slowly thriving.
Shi Shiman's idea is also to go to the outside world. didn't choose the avant-garde of the temple, his world was on the verge of collapse, and the blame of his family and his resentment made him twisted and about to go crazy. When he heard the rumors of the barrier being broken, he decided to sneak out of the floating island, he was fed up with the same days!
In the City Lord's Mansion, Uncle Ai was leisurely sipping tea, and he also borrowed a few medical books from the outside world to read. These days of competition have allowed him to see all kinds of abilities and the combination of different abilities. Although some of the combinations are exquisite, they are still not enough for him to stuff his teeth, and the domineering power of the flame power is enough to break all the bells and whistles. When the other party uses water, he uses fire to transpire, and when the other party uses earth, he scorches until it is broken, and the soldiers come to block it.
But also because of these special abilities and vast new worlds, there are countless pathologies and medicinal materials waiting for him to learn, so that Uncle Ai is in a state of excitement every day!
The patriarch cursed Iroh every day in the temple, and then sent a patrol force to capture all the suspicious people around the floating island to find out the news, so that they would not reveal the slightest rumor. They are also waiting for Uncle Ai's return.
Bo Zhi didn't know about it, he couldn't figure out the current situation, and he only planned for the worst. Wars that have not been experienced for tens of thousands of years, sect killings, clan rivalries, and the threat of tens of millions of fire cultivators in the forbidden land are not worth mentioning at all!
It took nearly two days, almost exhausted to the good horse under him, and Bozhi came to the palace of King Mengcha on the border of Yuting Pass.
Walking all the way east from the floating island, there is an endless mountain range called the Fuling Mountain Range. Fuling is the demigod who is stationed here to protect the national capital, he guards this mountain range, and is the unique mountain god in the hearts of the world.
To the northeast of the Fuling Mountains, there is a huge prosperous city surrounded by mountains on three sides and by the sea on one side - Shanhai City. If Ning Ran could stand on the highest peak of the Fuling Mountain Range and look out from afar, he would definitely be shocked by the eyeballs flying out, after all, just one Jade Pavilion Pass was enough to surprise him.
The fastest crow that flew out of the palace of the king of Moncha was only delivered to the imperial city of the national capital three days later. Bozhi wrote his speculations and observations in the letter, reminding his father.
The person reading the letter grabbed the letter paper, crumpled it violently, and slammed it on the table. After he was angry, he carefully smoothed the letter paper, sandwiched it in the jade box beside him, and then smashed the table carved by the beautiful jade with another punch.
Ning Ran found an ordinary restaurant called Night Return. If he started from scratch, he couldn't afford to wait! Ning Ran took his own pot and tried his best to make eight extremely difficult dishes, which convinced the boss. He only has one request, that is, to help himself do publicity in Yuting Pass, he can not be paid, and he can also let the restaurant guys learn the recipe of four of the dishes in exchange.
The boss rolled his eyes, if this kid was famous and went to other restaurants, he would still be at a loss, and added two breach clauses to Ning Ran's agreement, prohibiting him from cooking in other restaurants in Yutingguan.
Anyway, I won't cook for the restaurant in a few days, so I would rather press my handprint. Within a few days, Chef Ning's name resounded all over Yuting Pass, and everyone came back at night to compete for the specialty dishes of this young chef god.
Good guy, every time he is spread on the isolated island, it is a bad title like the little devil.
Ning Ran entered the City Lord's Mansion like this and was invited to be the head chef for a few days.
Bo Zhi came and went back for six days, and Ning Ran was extremely proud, and even exaggerated his achievements to tell Bo Zhi. Bo Zhi just smiled reluctantly, absent-mindedly, he didn't even dare to have too much contact with Ning Ran, just because of guilt.
Ning Ran looked at him silently and patted him on the shoulder: "Tomorrow there will be good wine and good food to entertain you, and we will not get drunk and go home." ”
Early the next morning, Ning Ran woke up the sleeping Bozhi. Sleepy-eyed and yawning a dozen times in a row, I know that I am really exhausted these days and don't want to move. He rolled over and was ready to go to bed, only to be burned by a small fiery snake.
Ning Ran not only worked as a cook here, but also learned a lot of ways to make dim sum. When he returned at night, the boss wanted his chefs to learn a few dishes and add them to the store's signs, but he never learned them. Ning Ran, who was questioned by the boss, said as a matter of course: "These dishes, only fire cultivation can control the heat." If you want to learn, find a few fire cultivators who want to be cooks, and I will teach them one-on-one. ”
When it comes to one-on-one teaching, it still depends on the high priest. When the boss heard this, he wanted to cry without tears.
Ning Ran took Bo Zhi to another tavern, and after a while, the table was full of more than a dozen dishes. The two of them were absent-minded, took a few bites of food, and then fell silent.
This kid has a lot on his mind. Ning Ran poured himself a full bowl of wine: "Let's try this, didn't you say last night that you won't get drunk or go home, this is the first time I've drunk." ”
Sniffing the smell of the wine, Ning Ran pinched his nose and poured it down, as if drinking medicine. Why does this Uncle Ai drink so beautifully, can only adults taste the deliciousness of wine? Ning Ran's face showed an indescribably distorted expression, and his mouth opened and wanted to vomit but he couldn't.
Bo Zhi was amused, and snatched the jar and poured himself a full bowl.
Ning Ran smiled evilly, and couldn't wait to watch Bo Zhi drink it, wanting to see what kind of reaction he would have. Bo Zhi saw that he was staring at him with bad intentions, stretched out to his mouth but didn't drink, and looked at him with a smug face: "I didn't drink it, what's the matter?"
Ning Ran pursed his lips and picked up his chopsticks: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, I haven't eaten this steamed dish yet." ”
Bo Zhi endured the smell of wine, counted three times in his heart, and poured a bowl of wine into his throat.
Bozhi was also drinking for the first time.
He has seen a lot of people drinking, staggering, pushing cups and changing lamps, drinking freely and drippingly, and drinking in the wind. Although it was hard to drink, the idea of continuing to drink somehow popped up in his mind.
Ning Ran is the same, two young men, you have a bowl, and I have a bowl, and they have drunk this jar of wine.
After drinking, the two of them vomited the private room.
Ning Ran laughed more than once, spit it out, and was not disgusting, and ate a few mouthfuls of food, muttering that Uncle Ai was long and Uncle Ai was short, laughing and scolding, saying that Uncle Ai left him to be a savage.
The groggy Bozhi was also touched, and he wept bitterly, fell on the table and shook his head, pushing the dishes to the ground. He regretted the quarrel between himself and his father, and also regretted that he was about to lose Ning Ran, a friend.
So the two of them slept in a stinking room for an afternoon. When the wine woke up, his nose was bright, and he wanted to vomit with his mouth open, but he couldn't vomit. He wanted to wipe his mouth and hands, but there was not much clean place on his body, so he wiped it directly on Bozhi and told him to get up.
The two of them were dirty and smelly, Bo Zhi picked a gold coin and put it on the table, and Ning Ran sneaked out of the window, and opened the window intimately to disperse the smell.
In the evening, the guest complained that there was some strange smell coming from upstairs, and the owner couldn't help it, so he rushed upstairs and pushed the door in.
"Ah!!" the boss's mournful cry echoed throughout the street, attracting passers-by.
