Chapter 13: Good Medicine and Bitter Taste

Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the man who was still wearing a hooded sweatshirt under his school uniform jacket.

It could only be him.

Every time he looked at this person, that familiar feeling would still come to his mind, Jiang Chen really wondered, who was this person? Why did he use his identity to enroll in school? Didn't he know that he was now under the watchful eye of countless people? Wouldn't doing so be equivalent to pushing himself into the fire pit? What good could this be?

Countless questions have popped up again.

At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket buzzed and vibrated twice, and it was Xia Mai's news. Jiang Chen glanced at the girl sitting next to her, and saw that she was sitting upright and carefully recording the teacher's board book.

When I opened WeChat, it was a long message:

Xia Mai: I have urgently confirmed with the clansmen that this person is not from the Xia family, and the Chen family has also denied that it is their person, so naturally this is the answer given to us by the Chen family, and whether it is true or not remains to be considered, but his family does not have a reason to act like this. I thought about it carefully, the other party pretending to be you to enroll in the school may have obtained the admission letter you lost at that time, since it was thrown out at that time, it is possible for anyone to get it, and it is difficult to judge the identity of the other party from this clue. The purpose of the person impersonating you is not clear, but fortunately, as long as you are in Boyang Academy, the other party has no chance to do harm to you, and I think the other party also wants to use your identity to do something in Boyang Academy. We should not be impatient, so as to respond to all changes without change, and pay more attention to this person's actions, we must always get out of the way.

Jiang Chen closed his phone and looked at the hooded man. At this time, the other party seemed to feel his gaze, and turned his head to meet his eyes. The eyes hidden in the shadow of the hood were extremely bright, like a knife stabbing at Jiang Chen.

With just one glance, he clearly felt that the other party knew his true identity.

Why? With so many classmates in the class, how does this person find himself out of the number of others?

The already complex situation has become more confusing, and he can only wait and see what happens, and he can't let more people doubt his identity. But think about it from another angle, since the other party used a fake identity to enroll, it is impossible to expose himself, and at the same time, everyone's attention to the "ancestor spirit" has been transferred to him, and he is safer from a certain point of view.

In the next lesson, Jiang Chen put on a serious look, and never looked at the hooded man again.

......

There was something in his heart, and the progress of the course seemed to be very fast, until the lunch break bell rang, and Jing Yu turned around and called him: "Eat." Only then did he realize that he had been distracted all morning and didn't listen to a word.

So he nodded, keeping up with the footsteps of Jingyu, Xia Wheat didn't know what passive skills he had, so he naturally joined in

Jiang Chen, who was still thinking about the hooded man, mechanically followed behind the two of them, and only became confused when he found that he was getting farther and farther away from the cafeteria: "Where is this going?"

"Eat. Jing Yu repeated the answer again.

Xia Mai smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me in the morning, take medicine to refine the body or something, although there is no such good thing, but the school still provides medicinal food that can strengthen the foundation and cultivate the yuan, which is specially open to cultivators!"

This was beyond Jiang Chen's expectations, but looking at the increasingly desolate scenery on both sides, he still muttered in his heart, he was about to walk to the grove to the west of the school, and there was a place like a cafeteria in front of him. He couldn't help but be very curious, and slightly distracted the uneasiness that some hooded men had brought to him.

The final destination was indeed a small wooden house in the grove to the west of the school, which looked like a long-abandoned forest guard's wooden house from the outside, with wooden walls that looked soft in the dampness peculiar to the rainy season, the roof was covered with thick scorched yellow straw, and there were a few signs of repairing and breakage, and the wooden door was very old, and even the wind crunched in the wind.

When I pushed the door open and entered, the scene inside was completely unexpected.

From the outside, it looks like a small one-story cabin, but on the inside, it is very spacious and decorated like a teahouse. The hall is furnished with wooden tables and chairs, and in the central area there is a stage painted in bright colors. The different areas are separated by screens, and on one of the fires, four thick copper kettles are smoking, and if you look closely, there is even a staircase leading to the second floor. The guy behind the counter saw the three of him come in, and ran over with a towel on his shoulder to guide him to sit down, this scene is exactly the same as what he has seen in the TV series.

The internal space structure is completely different from the building that looks from the outside, not only here, but also the Tianzheng stationery under the treasure building before the start of school, presumably caused by some kind of magic. Jiang Chen didn't ask for much understanding, and looked at the few students who were already sitting sporadically in the store at this time, only to see that there were some very exquisite dishes and antique tea bowls on their tables, chatting while eating.

Although this special canteen looks very quaint overall, the à la carte system is fully in line with modern times. I saw that the guy served tea to the three of them, handed them two tablets, signaled to order food directly online, and hurried to greet other students.

Jiang Chen looked at the names of the dishes on the tablet, and only felt a little confused, such as "yam poisonous meat lion head", "ginseng shenglan soup", "gastrodia ghost silk tofu" and so on...... In the end, there are some ingredients that I don't know about in each dish, so I simply leave it all to Xia Wheat to decide. Jingyu didn't care about ordering, so the girl randomly chose a few dishes that were very popular in the ordering system, and helped the eight feet who meowed next to her to order a fish alone, and ordered it to submit.

Originally, they wanted to help Jingyu and Xia Mai's contract beasts order something to eat, but the two said that their contract beasts could only eat special domesticated animal food, so they had to give up. It is said that the more advanced the contract beast, the more particular the food is, and like Hachi, they eat everything...... Ay.

sighed, nine times out of ten it was a roadside stall.

In the end, there were two meat and one vegetable, plus a small cup of soup per person.

The dishes are so delicate that even the vegetables are carved in the shape of animals, and the color combinations are very beautiful, and the smell is fragrant. Jiang Chen was in a good mood and tasted the "Tiger Yan Four Things Soup".

The soup is fragrant and smooth and rich in the mouth, and it is very delicious. It's just that the taste only lasted for a moment, and immediately turned sharply, from fresh fragrance to extremely bitter, and finally full of fishy breath, which was difficult to swallow.

Jiang Chen's face was complex, but he had no choice but to spit it out in public, so he swallowed it forcibly, and hurriedly put a chopstick "Goji Berry Silkworm Steamed Crane Egg" in his mouth, wanting to quickly get rid of the fishy smell just now.

Goji Berry Silkworm Steamed Egg is an unknown animal meat steamed in the egg, the taste is delicate and fragrant, with a hint of wolfberry sweetness, very refreshing. Jiang Chen secretly exhaled in his heart and swallowed the dish in his stomach. Who knew that he had just finished swallowing, only to feel a burst of heat in his abdomen, as if someone had thrown the red-hot charcoal ball into his stomach, he was frightened in his heart, and looked at the two opposite.

Xia Wheat and Jingyu were very plain eating the dishes on the plate, and from time to time Xia Wheat also commented: "Boyang's canteen is really different, this spirit silkworm has at least a hundred years of life, plus the three flavors of real fire and steaming through water, the meat will be so soft and full of stamina." ”

Jing Yu nodded in agreement.

Jiang Chen no longer had the courage to try the other two dishes, so he asked thoughtfully, "The so-called stamina is full...... Is it this hot feeling?"

The girl smiled and explained: "I only said that the medicinal diet is solid and Peiyuan, but I never said that it was delicious!"

"But it's too ...... to be unpalatable." Jiang Chen swallowed the thoughts in his heart, but who knew that Xia Mai persuaded: "Good medicine is bitter~ Hurry up and eat more, the afternoon class will be laborious!"

Except for himself, the other two people and one cat seemed to be eating with relish, and there was not even the soup left that licked the fish meat at eight feet, making Jiang Chen wonder if he had the wrong taste buds.

As if remembering something, Jiang Chen asked, "How many cultivators are there in the thirteenth middle school?"

Jing Yu thought for a while and replied, "Thirty-one people." ”

Jiang Chen looked around at the people in the cafeteria again, and it seemed that there were only three or four people besides them: "Why are there so few people eating here?"

Jingyu shook his head, as if he was puzzled, Xia Mai simply explained: "Because it's unpalatable! Even if you know that it's good for your health, most students are still shy away from this place, and they prefer to go to the general high school canteen of the thirteenth middle school!"

It turns out that I am not the only one who finds it unpalatable......

Jing Yu next to him said expressionlessly: "It's delicious." Seeing Jiang Chen and Xia Mai looking at him in disbelief, he added: "Better than what I did." ”

Could it be that this person used to cook and eat by himself? Can it be worse than this? What a horrible dark dish it must be...... Jiang Chen sweated profusely in his heart, and the eyes that looked at Jingyu were different.
