Chapter 1: The Ascetic

Next Chapter

"Ho, ho, ho......"

On the bustling street, a little unkempt beggar suddenly looked up and sat up, gasping for breath and obviously having nightmares, with fear and confusion in his eyes.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Very standard cross-philosophical questions.

The little beggar hammered his head violently, and after a while, his eyes gradually cleared, and the philosophical questions that kept circling in his heart and mind disappeared without a trace.

Thin arms propped up on the floor and sat up, a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, with sharp eyes and muttered: "My name is Jiang Yi, from the modern ...... of the 21st century It was the car accident that brought me here, and I was a teenager again. ”

Jiang Yi is still Jiang Yi, just because he flew through the disaster, there is no soul possession and manipulation of a body that does not belong to him, so he did not lose himself, nor did he have confusion because of unfamiliar memories.

In fact, Jiang Yi has been in this world for more than a month, and this time it was because of a nightmare.

The body is a teenager, but the soul has long been an adult, and as an international celebrity chef who once stood on the world stage and attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people, Jiang Yi was only depressed and dazed in the first two or three days, but after his mind settled down and accepted the bizarre setting of this world, he felt that this world was really interesting in his heart.

Holding a majestic stone lion beside him and standing up straight, the location is a restaurant with a hot business, the main gate of this restaurant, a pair of stone lions are placed as a town house to ward off evil spirits, and the height is even a lot taller than the small and thin Jiang Yi.

The guests in the restaurant kept coming in and out, and some guests had just come out of dinner, and when they passed by the stone stairs where Jiang Yi was, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with their big sleeves, and subconsciously showed disgust.

Jiang Yi was not ashamed of these glances, and was very calm.

After all, he also knew that he was unkempt and unclothed, a living beggar, and any diner who had just left the restaurant after a big meal saw a beggar, and these wide-clothed diners full of ancient paintings did not come up to beat him and expel him, even if it was extremely restrained and polite.

Look up at the golden plaque of the restaurant -

Never sleeps.

"The ...... of the Sleepless Buildings in the City That Never Sleeps"

Jiang Yi smiled, "Why did you come back here?"

He turned around and took two steps, and a voice behind him shouted, "Eh, little beggar over there, wait a minute!"

A young man who looked like a shawl boy walked up quickly, stopped two steps away from Jiang Yi, handed over the oil paper bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is some food, our shopkeeper is kind-hearted, I can't see you beggars running around the street hungry, by the way, next time you have long eyes, don't sit at the door of our nightless building, if you affect the business, hum ......"

This restaurant is neither soft nor hard, giving a warning.

Jiang Yi didn't take this oil paper bag, don't think about it, the paper bag should be a meal, with rice and vegetables, looking bulging, it should be quite hearty. He shook his head and said, "Can you give me two steamed buns?"

"Huh, steamed buns?"

The little guy was stunned for a moment, "The food we don't eat in the night building is not as good as the steamed bun......"

The voice suddenly stuck in his throat, and the little guy looked at Jiang Yi's relatively clean and delicate face under his messy long hair, his expression and eyes were quite weird, and said, "Little beggar, I recognize you!"

"I know you too. Jiang Yi smiled.

"Yes, you also visited our Sleepless Tower a month ago. "The little guy chattered, "I don't want food, just steamed buns." ”

"I said, steamed buns are really better than hot rice and hot dishes?"

Jiang Yi smiled and did not answer.

"Forget itβ€”"

The little guy turned his head and ran back towards the restaurant where there was an endless stream of guests, and when he turned back, he handed Jiang Yi a paper-wrapped steamed bun, didn't say anything, and hurriedly went back to work.

In fact, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in a prosperous era of fire and prosperity, and the dynasty in its heyday, there were no natural disasters, no natural disasters, and this Lishui county was a relatively rich coastal area, so street beggars were almost endangered animals. In the past month, Jiang Yi has had a last resort, and with the posture of an ascetic, he can be regarded as traveling all over Lishui County, and he has finally seen the customs of this world.

The northwest area of Lishui County is a mountainous area with a large area of primeval forest, so most of the residents there have been hunting for generations and have bravery.

In the southeast, there is a big Zhouming port by the sea, which is more prosperous than the county town, not to mention those foreign merchants who go by sea, the local residents are very good at fishing, and the water is extraordinary.

"Then again, 'not a drop of blood, not a drop of juice'...... This kind of knife technique of solving the cow sounds really mysterious, even if it is so exaggerated as described, it is bound to be practiced to a high level to achieve it!"

Jiang Yi was walking on an alley leading to the outskirts of the city, when he suddenly stopped and muttered a rumor in the market that he heard when he was doing an ascetic.

He hugged the oiled paper bag containing the steamed buns tightly, and muttered in a low voice: "In this world, people's pursuit of food or food is simply perverted, those bloody warriors, all of them are fanatical food hunters, in order to pursue the spiritual materials of heaven and earth, they do not hesitate to die, new ingredients represent new recipes, if you create a recipe for a thousand gold, it will be enough to pass on to future generations......"

"Chefs have the status of 'scholars'? Every time there is a change of dynasty, when the new dynasty revises the annals of the previous dynasty, it also compiles a special book of famous chefs...... It's like an ancient world, but it's completely unfamiliar!

In the dark alley where no one is, Jiang Yi suddenly laughed, he was a well-known international celebrity chef before the car accident, he had a genius halo on his head when he was in a culinary college, and he ran a world-famous restaurant in just one year after graduation. Since he came here, he can't just be a beggar and eat a hundred meals, otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain to blind God to let him live for the second time, and bring him to such a wonderful world of food.

But smiling, Jiang Yi's face was not quite right, there was a touch of paleness, and a layer of fine sweat gushed out of the skin on his forehead and other places.

The soles of his feet were soft, and his eyes swayed, Jiang Yi shook his head and gritted his teeth, and finally he didn't fall into a coma.

My body knows best, sweating and fainting, for no other reason -

Hungry!

"It's all that forcible ascetic task, you have to eat quickly...... Jiang Yi hugged the oiled paper bag containing the steamed buns tightly and walked towards the outskirts of the city.

With a permanent population of about one million, Lishui County is about the same size as Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty. Jiang Yi went straight out of the city, to the outer city with low houses and chaotic layout, stopped in front of a clear stream, took out a broken bowl that he didn't know where to touch, scooped a bowl of stream water, and tore the steamed buns into small pieces and soaked them in the water.

When people are extremely hungry, they eat rice soup and gruel to be easy to digest and absorb, Jiang Yi is a chef, and he is well versed in medicinal diet and health preservation, he soaked the steamed buns very soft and soft, and drank them with the stream water.

Some of the sweet smell of starch dissolution diffused in the mouth, and Jiang Yi's face was tense, and a smile finally appeared.

Suddenly, there was a tingling in my eyes, and a dark green text appeared in my vision:

"The "Ascetic Understanding the World" beginner quest has been completed. ”

"Host restrictions lifted!"

Finally!

Finally, I don't have to eat steamed buns to live.

Jiang Yi almost burst into tears, and in particular, calling him a celebrity chef with an extraordinary taste and tongue to eat steamed buns every day is simply a human torture called "pure heart and few desires".

Just as Jiang Yi was laughing by the stream, another voice called him from behind, but this time the voice was very crisp, and when he heard it, he knew that he was a cardamom girl, and he was a dynamic and sunny type.

"Hey, you beggar, nervous, so you were abandoned by your family because of your intellectual disability?"

The stream reflects a cute girl with braids and a little freckles on her face.
