Chapter 256: Great Expectations
The dinner came to an end in a joyful atmosphere.
It can be said that the guests and hosts are happy.
All the dishes made by Huai Shi were happily eaten by the guests, and there was no bite left, and they were amazed, and they praised Huai Shi's cooking skills vigorously, and offered their praise and admiration.
It's weird.
Whether Bin is happy or not, Huai Shi doesn't know, but Huai Shi is quite happy as a chef.
Happy and happy.
Before Lin Yu left, he also gave a lot of coupons and told her that she could continue to eat for free if she came back next time.
As for whether she is happy or not, no one knows.
After eating, she didn't cry or roar anymore, and she didn't even make any sound.
I don't cry or laugh, I just love to be quiet and don't like to make trouble, as if I had a prefrontal lobotommy for free.
With a hollow opening of his eyes, he ate the plate that was sent to him in one bite, and finally after eating the dessert, he ushered in the essentia erosion that broke out from the inside out, and finally exited.
"Poor hospitality. โ
Huai Shi took off the white towel on his arm and waved it in his hand, taking it as a send-off.
Then, at the invitation of Chef Watanabe, he returned to the kitchen and joined the lively staff for a meal.
Several chefs exchanged cooking skills with each other, and finally made a good fortune smoothie for everyone to eat after dinner, which won unanimous praise from a large group of different species.
As soon as dinner was over, a burst of flames burst out on the kitchen stove, and a figure in a suit got up from it, coughed a few times and wiped the ashes from his face.
"I'm sorry. โ
He looked at the chef, "Is there a Mr. Huaishi here?"
"Huh?"
Huai Shi, who was sucking the soba noodles, turned around in amazement, and saw that the visitor coughed a few times, so she politely stepped over, bent over, bowed 90 degrees, and respectfully handed over her business card with both hands.
"The Organizing Committee of the Kitchen Demon Competition...... Secretary?"
Huai Shi was stunned: "Are you looking for me?"
"To be exact, on behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Kitchen Demon Competition, I came to visit and deliver a notice to you. โ
Without raising his head, he continued to bow at 90 degrees, took out a letter with a rather quaint and serious style from his briefcase, and presented it with both hands.
When the envelope was opened, a black card slipped out of it.
It is also engraved with the essentia fluctuations of Huai poems, which are obviously specially created.
"What is this?"
"Your documents. โ
"The organizing committee praised you for your outstanding performance and unanimously approved your promotion resolution - your talents and skills no longer need to be verified by the competition, you have promoted the essence of dark cuisine with real actions, and have shown your outstanding talent as a kitchen demon," said the secretary of the Chef Demon Competition.
Congratulations, Mr. Huaishi, from today onwards, you will be a real chef. โ
As soon as the words fell, before Huai Shi could react, Watanabe, the chef next to Huai Shi, suddenly got up and applauded warmly.
Immediately after that, the two chefs, the four assistant chefs and all the restaurant employees all stood up, looked at him with surprise and envy, and applauded.
"ใใใงใจใ!ๆง่ฉฉใใ!"
Watanabe, the chef with a cold personality, grabbed Huaishi's hand and congratulated him warmly, and his face turned red with joy, as if he was even more excited than Huaishi when he saw the children in the village being admitted to Peking University.
"ๆทฎใใ,ใใใงใจใ!"
โใใใงใจใ๏ผโ
A group of people surrounded Huai Shi in the middle, applauded with a congratulatory smile, and frightened Huai Shi suddenly had a sense of shock that all mankind had turned into orange juice.
Shocked, how can you be happier than me!
In order to celebrate the meeting of Pingshui, Huaishi was promoted to a kitchen demon in his kitchen, Watanabe also asked the apprentice to take out a bottle of sake from his treasure and open it, and invited the secretary who came to inform him, and everyone drank two glasses together.
This is quite a surprise for Huai Shi.
I don't know how to make sake, but it is full of the vitality of a large number of plants, and there are dozens of abyssal plants that Huaishi has never felt before.
After a small cup, the old wound was healed, and he sighed happily. The chef glanced at the apprentice, and the apprentice sat down next to Huai Shi and poured wine for him.
The secretary didn't even drink the taste like Huai Shi, and after taking a sip lightly, his expression suddenly became pleasantly surprised: "Isn't this ...... A treasure of Mt. Tengu?"
"When I was studying, it was given by the master. The chef smiled reservedly: "I'm leaving now, I didn't expect to encounter such a happy event, and I don't deserve to drink this bottle of good wine here." โ
After Huai Shi took a sip, he didn't know where it was a good thing, so he didn't dare to drink more.
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for Mr. Kitten's phone call just now, I wouldn't have known that I had your help. The chef said, "I can't say much about the reason, but please drink freely, you deserve it." โ
โ......โ
Huai Shi was stunned with a wine glass.
Although I don't understand what happened, people don't need money to invite guests to drink, just drink!
But he still couldn't react, "I'm a kitchen demon?"
"Hey, your heroic appearance in the game is really only seen in your life, please don't be presumptuous. โ
The secretary toasted respectfully, and then introduced: "With that card, you can rent a kitchen at any time in the current realm, at the border, or even in any hellish place, free of charge.
If you choose to open at a location, your restaurant will automatically be certified by Hungry Mouth. And you can eat for free in most of the restaurants in all the hells, no, I should say that most restaurants are happy to welcome you to the kitchen......"
Speaking of the goodness of this card, the secretary immediately gushed: "Your Excellency Hannibal and the Butcher of Heaven have praised your performance, praised your talent, and your future is limitless. Especially since you're a Calamity, a legendary investigator, and ......"
He paused, and suddenly looked up, as if to confirm that there were no cameras around, before lowering his voice and saying, "You're from the Abyss lineage, right?"
"Huh?" Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, and then became a little uneasy: "Is there any problem?"
"I'm ashamed to say that, my cousin's aunt's second son's colleague, asked me to bring you a word. The secretary lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "There is also a great future in the abyss......
"Excuse me. โ
Huai Shi waved her hand resolutely, her expression becoming serious.
He still didn't understand what the secretary was trying to say, this world can now see at a glance that he is from the genealogy of the heavenly kingdom, except for the remnants of the ideal country back then, I am afraid that there is only the 'golden dawn' formed after everyone collectively solidifies and falls into the abyss.
How dare he have anything to do with these bad things?
There are so many unsightly things under his ass, and he is still a remnant of heaven.
It's enough to just offend the rancher, and then hook up with another destructive factor, I'm afraid that I don't think I'll die fast enough.
And the secretary did not forget his own work, and did not mention it again after mentioning it.
After drinking, the secretary climbed back into the fire on the stove and disappeared, and Huai Shi simply stayed in the staff dormitory of the cafeteria.
The apprentice specially cleaned up a room for him, enjoyed a VIP treatment, and then started to open at midnight, making supper for the ghosts in the night tour.
Huai Shi lay on the bed, drowsy, looking at the card in her hand over and over.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me and a bold idea came to me.
The certificate of the kitchen demon can eat for free in the abyss, so the certificate of the Calamity Musician, isn't it......
.
.
In the middle of the night, the hall of the old mansion is brightly lit.
On the top seat, the dozing old man was awakened, and he raised his eyes drowsily, and then saw that the hall was full of people.
There is also a wheelchair pushed up, and Lin Yu is sluggish in the wheelchair.
The pupils of the old man's eyes lifted slightly, and a hint of clarity flashed in the cloudy clouds.
"Xiao Yu, I don't even know my grandfather anymore......" He smiled indifferently: "It's really unreasonable to come back like this...... Forget it, I'm looking at it so late, don't do anything more, let's go rest. โ
The other people immediately realized that they were already surprised, and got up to leave, only the woman holding the wheelchair still raised her head unwillingly, wanting to speak: "Grandpa, grandpa, what about this matter...... Is that all?"
"Otherwise?"
The old man laughed strangely, "Is she your own daughter, not my great-granddaughter?
The woman's expression froze.
The old man continued to ask: "My seven grandsons, apart from your man and the third child, are their four dead elder brothers and younger brothers not my grandsons?"
โ......โ
The woman's face was pale, even if she had heard about it, it was still difficult to accept such an indifferent end: "But, but, that person ...... in the live broadcast"
"So it's all nonsense to say that a loving mother is a failure. โ
The old man sighed regretfully, shook his head, and said, "For as long as I can remember, I have had seven uncles, and only one has survived until now. I have fourteen brothers, and I am the only one who can survive until now, and I am the only one who can achieve the fifth order.
You only have one daughter, and you're not dead, alive and well. If you want me to say Xiaoqin, you should be happy. โ
There was no indifference or detachment in that word, but rather a seriousness that bordered on telling the truth, and no one could argue with it.
The woman froze in place.
The old man looked up, as if he had sobered up, and his muffled voice became clear.
"Since everyone is here today, let's just say more. โ
He looked around at his heirs and said, "Among you, there are some who are sublimators, some who are not, some who are outside and there are enemies everywhere, and there are those who have not yet gone out...... Those who have not come back are either dead or looking for death.
You are doing evil outside, doing things according to your own likes and dislikes, you are all very hard-working children, very good, the people of the Lin family have been like this since ancient times. โ
He asked, "Is there anyone who doesn't know that the people in our Lin family are all insane?"
There was a sound of laughter.
When the few people sitting at the front heard the words of the head of the house, they laughed without hesitation, and nodded in agreement.
"That's right. โ
The old man patted his knee with satisfaction, and a dazzling glow lit up in his gloomy pupils: "If you want to achieve the Candle Dragon, if you want to pursue the power of this path of sublimation, this is the way it should be!"
How can we transform essentia without arousing hatred? How can we obtain the fruits of evil without provoking right and wrong? Do we have to do good deeds by helping me cross the road?"
Below, the wanton laughter grew louder and higher.
Stop at nothing.
There were dozens of pitch-black essentia fluctuations rising into the sky, engulfing all the stars on this border in an instant, covering the sky and the earth.
But in the darkness, the old man's cloudy eyes were as cold as the scorching sun, bursting out with a tyrannical light, and the hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears, like a hammer hammering nails, knocking his words into their souls word by word.
"Remember, the road is your own choice, whether you are here or not, whether you are surnamed Lin or not, from the first day you embark on the road of the candle dragon, don't think about being an idler who does not provoke right and wrong.
To fight, to rob, to rob, to take away! to make enemies with others! to be beaten until they crawl back like a dog, and then to take revenge after digesting!
Whether you go as a witch to collect the abyss precipitation, or as a sorcerer and go to the hordes of hell to steal and plunder, this is the path you have chosen, the path of death!
Those who are afraid can go to the back mountain at any time to wash away the holy stigma with the Thunder Tribulation Secret Instrument, and take the money to the present realm to be the second ancestor, and don't say that they are members of the Lin family in the future - for them, it is bad luck to be involved with such a family.
But what about you? What is the Lin family to you?"
The old man's pupils burst into flames like a sun wheel, and his voice shook the entire border: "I'll tell you that the Lin family is your life talisman!"
With this life amulet, you can provoke right and wrong as much as you want, there are no taboos, as long as you can escape home alive, the elders can keep you there!
If you can still get up, you can lick your wounds and go out and do whatever you want. If you can't get up, just honestly close the door and be a waste, the Lin family has a big business, and there is no shortage of you to eat.
I've told you this since you were a child, and I don't know how many times, but I'm asking you nowโwhat would you do if you died outside?"
In the face of the old man's questioning, a young man below replied in a loud voice: "It's just a vain death." โ
"That's right!"
The old man clapped his hands with satisfaction and praised approvingly: "It's still a little nineteen who has a brain...... Yes, it's a vain death!
If you can't even go back to your home, you will die in vain! Don't think about avenging you at home, and your family won't even give you money for the coffin! You don't even have the eyesight to do evil, and it's better that this kind of embarrassing thing will die as soon as possible.
If you want to be a member of the Lin family, this is your life!
- Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Everyone in the hall responded in unison.
"Very well, then let's do what we want. โ
The old candle dragon slowly bowed his head, "It's not easy to go back home, let's go and recuperate...... Then go with you to some hellish place to kill people and set fires, you all have great plans. โ
"As for Xiao Yu......"
He pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced at his granddaughter-in-law, and slowly shook his head: "The soul is damaged, send it to the abyss, can you break it and stand up, see her creation."
Now that I'm back, the original family blames me as a grandfather to take it for her, so you don't have to worry. โ
The woman in the wheelchair trembled, not knowing whether she was excited or afraid, for a long time, she lowered her head, and there were no other words.
The old man closed his eyes and fell into a long slumber again.
So the heavens and the earth were darkened.
