Chapter 150: Gathering Monsters
The dΓ©cor of the living room is minimalist, with cool colors as the main style.
There are no materials such as marble, most of them are painted on the walls.
The sofa is not tens of thousands or even more expensive sofas, and the coffee table is also made of glass rather than wood.
Qin Ze didn't expect that the chef's home was so ordinary.
After all, whether it is Qiao Wei, Jian Yiyi, Lan Yu, or even Luo Shu Lin'an, they are actually rich.
It is not difficult for the old calendarists to make money.
Even a girl like Xiaoshi, if she is determined to use the ability of a street girl to make money, she can make a lot of money.
Therefore, Yu Ji's house made Qin Ze feel a little too ordinary.
"Mr. Yu, your cooking level, there should be a bunch of top restaurants rushing to ask for you, right?" Qin Ze asked.
Yu Ji's body was quite rich, and at this time he was wearing a chef's uniform and serving the last dish to his friends.
As the second oldest existence in the entire Linxiang City team, Yu Ji immediately heard Qin Ze's voice:
"I don't like extravagance and waste, and neither do my wife and children, and I don't spend much money on things outside my body."
"We are the most willing to spend money on what we can eat in our stomachs. The food is fresh, and there's no upper limit here. β
"The money is basically spent on buying ingredients, which is another kind of material desire."
"Here, try it."
Yu Ji's food presentation is not too particular, because it takes some portions to entertain the old calendarers in the group.
He didn't like French cuisine.
Qin Ze ate the most common home-cooked food, and he was full of happiness when he took a bite.
Chickens, ducks, fish and sheep, as well as seasonal vegetables, the ingredients look ordinary, but each of them is a rare bird and mountain treasure.
After Yu Ji's cooking, the color and flavor are complete.
Qin Ze is a rough man.
Qin Ze was once invited by Qiao Wei to eat in some restaurants with an average of four figures per capita, but he really couldn't eat it.
There's a big gap between good and good food, but for most people, it's hard to notice.
It's like Qin Ze can't eat the difference between Wagyu beef and ordinary beef.
At least it seemed to him that it was the same when it was cooked.
But he can indeed feel that every dish in Yu Ji has the feeling of joy spurting out of his mouth.
This dish couldn't shine, but it made Qin Ze and Huo Qiao extremely happy.
"Hahahaha, old man, I felt like I was going to have good luck yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be cashed in so quickly."
In fact, every dish on the plate is worth savoring.
But Qin Ze and Huo Qiao both gulped down.
Yu Ji will not have the feeling that the boar can't eat fine chaff at all.
That's how food should be, he thinks.
"It's delicious, you two can like it."
"I like it so much, I've been asking you for recipes before, and I make it myself, but when I make it, it's always almost meaningful, and I have to learn from you today." Qin Ze said.
Yu Ji also has this intention.
Huo Qiao says:
"Xiao Qin, are you interested in studying numerology?"
"Cooking at night, you can keep an eye on Yu Ji, but in the afternoon, why don't you learn metaphysics with the old man and me?"
When Qin Ze heard this, there was such a good thing, isn't this double happiness.
Although Huo Qiao will calculate a hexagram for a person who commits a taboo, if he can do it himself, he will be able to make Huo Qiao more focused and calculate a more accurate hexagram to serve others.
After all, Huo Qiao's energy is limited.
Moreover, Huo Qiao and Yu Ji's functional improvement can only rely on accumulating skill proficiency.
But I'm different, I'm a taboo player.
Whether it is Yu Ji's cooking skills or Huo Qiao's metaphysical ways, he can surpass these two.
Today was unexpectedly smooth.
I just don't know if the ability of temporary workers can take effect under the hand-in-hand teaching of two teachers.
Eating and sleeping are silent, that is for different occasions.
When friends have dinner, of course, they have to talk about topics.
Although everyone is of the same generation in rank, in terms of age, Yu Ji and Huo Qiao are both elders.
Qin Ze asked about the story of the two as a junior.
"Teacher Yu, how did you come up with the idea of becoming a cook? Speaking of which, on the day the old calendar appeared, what was the taboo committed? β
These topics may seem offensive to outsiders, but the members of the Linxiang City group are not taboo at all.
Yu Ji smiled:
"What else can it be, cooking, I happened to participate in a food show of King Chef PK that day, and the taboo level is distorted."
Qin Ze was distorted when he heard it, and he became interested.
"The food I cook is all mutated, and on the plate, it will tempt people to eat it, but it will bring a strong hallucinogenic effect."
"It's really emotional...... The calendar appeared right in my house and I didn't know about it. β
"After that incident, my reputation also stinks."
"Although the organization later sent people to treat those affected by the twisted ingredients. But a lot of people still think that I'm doing something with my food. At that time, the official had not yet dealt with it, and there were a lot of jokes on the Internet, my nine-turn large intestine, after the gourmand ate it, he looked crazy, as if he was possessed by Cthulhu. β
"Netizens say that this is a food show on the surface, but it is actually a show."
"The stalk of the evil god's large intestine appeared, but fortunately, it subsided later."
Qin Ze remembered another chef who was related to the Nine Turns of the Large Intestine and could be described as Yangmou.
Although it is conceivable that Yu Ji's reputation was completely ruined because of this, and his career suffered a huge blow.
But Qin Ze still felt a little happy.
Of course, Yu Ji himself was completely relieved.
When talking about these past events, Yu Ji only had a smile on his face as if he was watching an absurd comedy:
"I, I love to cook, mainly because I don't have enough understanding of food in those stupid people, and there are too many unpalatable dishes to make."
"So I started it myself, and before I knew it, I became what they called a king of chef competitor."
At least in the area of cooking, I'm afraid Yu Ji's talent is also rare.
Qin Ze found that there were really a lot of geniuses in the group.
Yu Ji continued:
"After the old calendar appeared, I actually didn't notice that if it weren't for the hallucinations of so many people on the show, and even after some people ate my food, their bodies twisted and crawled around on the ceiling like dark crawling ghosts in ghost movies......"
"I probably won't even be noticed by the authorities."
"Of course, it was precisely because of the official attention that I learned about the old calendar."
"When they found out about me, my career as a chef was settled."
"It is said that there are many, many occupations of the old calendarists, there are 360 lines, but chefs are very rare, so I became the chef of the organization."
Huo Qiao quipped:
"Even so, you, like the old man and me, basically don't participate in the company's affairs."
"Harm, when you're older, you want to stay in your own one-third of an acre." Yu Ji responded.
秦泽 says:
"But you two, if you are helpful to everyone, how can you not be considered not involved in the company's affairs?"
The answer to the question was Yu Ji:
"Qin Ze, we are different from you, Lin An will go to the front line in order to save people. Luo Shu is sometimes like this, although the little girl always stays in the company, but she will also sign a contract and participate in the battle in a special way. β
"As for you, Duke Xiaocheng, as well as Lan Yu and the team leader, you are even more combatants, and you will be exposed to all kinds of weird problem events."
Yu Ji sandwiched a piece of chicken:
"But I and Lao Huoqiao are not. We just want to be in our own world. β
"Our capabilities can bring benefits to the world, and we are willing to contribute a portion of our capabilities without interfering with our current lives."
"It's okay to cook something delicious for the team leader to double his fitness. I just did it. β
"But let me go deeper into the weird world, I don't want to."
Lao Huoqiao raised his cup, there was only tea in the cup, and the three of them didn't drink, but he said happily:
"Cheers to the idea."
Yu Ji and Lao Huoqiao's cups touched lightly. Yu Ji says:
"We are not combatants, this is just one aspect, in fact, many professions, to the ghost level, have combat ability."
"Even if it's a cook like me, if you reach the ghost god level, or after being promoted to a gourmet...... I'm also very threatening. Huo Qiao is too, and the fortune teller can also be promoted to an onmyoji. That's a great job. β
Qin Ze understood:
"But neither of you wants to be separated from the life in front of you."
Huo Qiao nodded:
"Yes, what about me, I know that I have an old bones, I believe in fate, I am past that age."
"Xiao Yu, I just want to live the life of my wife and children on the hot kang."
"There's nothing wrong with being ordinary, is there?"
Qin Ze also nodded, it was like this.
"It's like, you go from earning 3,000 a month to 8,000 a month, and if you don't change your previous spending habits, then you will feel rich. But if you change your spending habits and increase your spending, you'll find ...... The days are still so tight. And there will never be that joy of buying cheap, practical and good goods again. β
This was said by Yu Ji.
Yu Ji's idea is that ability is like extra salary or income.
It's good to have superpowers, but if you deal with superpowers, life is still full of pressure.
But if you have superpowers, but you still live in the circle of ordinary people, it is quite leisurely.
"We're cowards who don't want to make progress, hahahaha......"
Huo Qiao raised his glass again as he spoke, and Yu Ji also clinked his glass happily.
Qin Ze actually envied such an attitude.
Although they are cowards, these two people also contribute their own strength.
Not every old calendar person has to do their best to improve themselves.
Not everyone in the face of evil urgently needs to rise to the challenge and give everything.
It's not bad to live a leisurely life, not to do evil, to occasionally do a little good, to enjoy the convenience brought by ability, and not to squeeze the living space of ordinary people.
"How strong is strong? How rich is rich? There are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. Lao Huoqiao sighed.
Yu Ji nodded:
"Yes, but Qin Ze, we are old-fashioned people, we just want to lie flat, we just want to live comfortably, but you don't want to learn from us."
Qin Ze smiled:
"Why?"
Yu Ji says:
"Because you're not that kind of person. If you are a lazy person like us, you can also be an idle cloud and wild crane, and in the future, Lao Huoqiao and I can change the project of playing chess between two people to three people playing cards. β
"Hahaha, that's a good dare, and it's not bad to play cards." Huo Qiao also smiled.
However, Yu Ji added:
"But you're not that kind of person, you're adventurous, and I can see that you're a thrill seeker."
"Then don't go against your nature and improve yourself as much as possible, but if you are tired one day, you can also find me and Lao Huoqiao to recharge your batteries."
"The team leader also comes to us a lot, and every time he leaves, he feels refreshed."
Qin Ze understood what Yu Ji meant.
He is indeed a thrill-seeker and mysterious. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met Qiao Wei.
In this world, there are people who are happy to know their fate, there are people who chase phantoms, and there are people who change their lives against the sky.
Qin Ze ate this meal very pleasantly.
Because the food of Yuji can indeed arouse happiness in people's hearts.
And Lao Huoqiao is used to seeing the impermanence of fate, and he is also very good at comforting people.
When these two well-behaved people got together, time seemed to slow down.
Qin Ze had a rare feeling that the years were quiet.
He could see why the group leader was happy every time he left here.
Indeed, after struggling for a while in the old calendar world, or in the real world, coming to find such two people to eat and chat will wash away some of the burdens on your body.
All afternoon, Qin Ze was chatting with Huo Qiao, chatting and learning fortune-telling techniques at the same time.
Huo Qiao gave Qin Ze a hexagram plate he made himself, and asked Qin Ze to go back and study it well.
And in the evening, Yu Ji asked Qin Ze to watch how he cooked.
And told Qin Ze about some things about the old calendar professional chef.
Both of them were deliberately teaching Qin Ze.
This made Qin Ze can't help but wonder if the identity of his temporary worker has been revealed to the two of them by the team leader.
Qin Ze had a feeling that tonight, on April 30, the old calendar was revived, and he might master two auxiliary skills.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The night of April 29th.
Qin Ze returned to his home, he did feel physically and mentally happy, and the fatigue was swept away.
Yu Ji and Lao Huoqiao made Qin Ze forget his recent experience for a short time.
It seems to have found the beauty of that ordinary life.
But Qin Ze understood that all this was mainly based on Yu Ji's food.
The kind of food that can evoke people's emotions, Qin Ze is very eager to have.
After Qin Ze returned to his home, he waited for the revival of the old calendar and the arrival of a new round of Yiji.
A life of leisure and ease is pleasant, but what he prefers is a life full of challenges in the unknown.
It's only eleven fifty.
Qin Ze "fell ill".
He felt a strong sense of sleepiness. Along with the sleepiness, there was also a strange feeling.
This feeling is no stranger to Qin Ze. He has experienced it twice.
Lin An also said at the beginning that this is a kind of disease.
Qin Ze was not cured of this disease.
And as Qin Ze fell asleep, the familiar voice in his mind had already come.
"Everyone's life is like a movie ......"
Prell's opening remarks appeared in Qin Ze's mind again.
As Qin Ze fell asleep, the dream gradually became clear.
In the classic pitch-black cabin, he overlaps with Prell again.
For the third time, Qin Ze will watch Prell ravage a poor or hateful guy again from the first-person perspective of the dream realm.
But this time, in fact, it was not Qin Ze's real "illness".
Everything is not a coincidence, but stems from an article written by Zhao Jingwen after returning to his residence this afternoon.
According to Jian Yiyi's request, Zhao Jingwen wrote the most critical sentence:
"After Qin Ze's adventure in the country of competition ends and he successfully returns to the real world, the hidden dangers related to Qin Ze in reality will gradually emerge, and they, or they, are gradually heading to Linxiang City."
This is a paragraph in the article, and when Jian Yiyi narrated this content, Zhao Jingwen still didn't understand it very well.
Thinking about it, isn't this to let Qin Ze die?
But then, he understood what Jane was going to do one by one.
