Chen Yun helped his roommate speak: "Then how do you know that the kitchen must be in the front yard?" ”

Xie Yinxue laughed, and said: "My house is a courtyard house with four entrances and four exits, although this courtyard is much smaller than my house, but there will be no rough difference in layout." ”

Chu Li pursed her lips after hearing this, as if she wanted to refute Xie Yinxue's words, but when Wei Dao heard this, he directly interrupted her and said, "The layout of the courtyard is very particular, and there is indeed not much difference. ”

He used to think that the quality of these newcomers was good, after all, the psychological quality of the newcomers he met when he first entered the game was too poor, and he kept shouting that this must be some trick show, and said that he would call the police, and he didn't be honest until he saw someone really die. But now Wei Dao feels that this time the newcomer is a little too cautious - this is not a good thing.

If all newcomers are so cautious, then ...... They don't have cannon fodder to be gunmen.

So Wei Dao is saying this now, just to dispel Chen Yun Chuli's doubts and make them feel at ease, and it is best to let them go to the front yard to have a look.

It's a pity that Chen Yun didn't get it, she gave all the four-leaf clovers she found to her roommates, and no one else got it, including Gao Qiao, a middle-aged woman who currently lives in the same room with them.

Gao Qiao was a little embarrassed when she saw this, but she also understood that she was forcibly squeezed to live with these girls, and she was not familiar with her, and it was obviously impossible to ask them to treat her as her own now.

And there were really no ingredients to find in the inner courtyard, Gao Qiao was desperate, looked at Xie Yinxue again, and saw that his expression was soft, so he also walked to the side of the weeping flower gate and said, "Then let's go, let's go, let's go to the front yard to have a look." ”

The caution of the guard knife and the four girls, Xie Yinxue saw it clearly, his expression remained unchanged, he walked in the front and stepped out of the hanging flower door, and directly entered the front yard.

When everyone came here, they appeared directly in the inner courtyard and never went to the front yard. Now that she has set foot in the front yard, Xie Yinxue found that the front yard and the inner courtyard are like two completely different worlds - the inner courtyard is dark and the dark clouds are low, as if a downpour will fall at any time; But the weather in the front yard is sunny and sunny, and the whole person seems to be involuntarily refreshed by the weather.

And as Xie Yinxue said, the kitchen is located in the front yard, and there is a vegetable garden of about 50 square meters next to it, as if it is so benevolent, and the blue sky is to make all kinds of vegetables and fruits in the vegetable garden grow healthily.

The rest of the people saw that nothing happened after Xie Yinxue, Liu Buhua and Gao Qiao entered the front yard, and they all followed one after another. After seeing this big vegetable garden, Lu Shuo couldn't help but sigh: "I'll go, there is really a vegetable garden here." ”

The vegetable garden is planted with cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions, ginger and garlic and other common ingredients and seasonings, and in the southernmost grass basket there are chicken, duck and goose eggs, and even preserved eggs.

Xiao Siyu, a luxury car man, couldn't believe it: "Is the survival game so simple?" ”

Before the words fell, more than a dozen strangely dressed people came out of the kitchen next to the vegetable garden, they were dressed in white, but the white clothes were stained with all kinds of oil stains and bloodstains, and their faces were uniformly covered with a black mask, blocking half of their faces, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and they scanned the people who stepped into the backyard with a terrifying gaze, and the kitchen knives held by several cooks were still dripping blood, turning the soil under their feet into a heavy dark red.

Lu Shuo continued with Xiao Siyu's words with a sad face: "No, this doesn't seem to be simple at all. ”

Xie Yinxue counted the people and found that the number of these cooks was the same as theirs, all fourteen.

Coupled with the fact that they came out of the kitchen and were armed with kitchen knives, the identity of these people was revealed—they should be the chefs of this gluttonous feast.

Wei Qiuyu hugged the arm of his roommate Chen Yun and asked scaredly, "We're going to get the ingredients, we won't have to get the consent of these people, right?" ”

"They're probably chefs." Wei Dao thought it was very likely, otherwise the game would be too simple, and he reminded everyone, "Be careful, everyone. ”

Hearing everyone's discussion, one of the chefs chuckled and asked the crowd in a hoarse voice like a dilapidated bellows, "Are the guests here to pick up the ingredients?" ”

"Come in—"

The cook opened the fence door of the garden, bowed slightly, and beckoned everyone to the garden.

Seeing this, everyone's first reaction was to look at Xie Yinxue in unison - good guy, it turns out that this chef seems to be a murderous ghost, and Xie Yinxue looks relatively normal.

However, Xie Yinxue saw that everyone was looking at him, and thought that he was going to wait for him to go over to find out the situation first.

Xie Yinxue thought about it for a while, and felt that it was okay, he even looked forward to some dangerous things happening, and then he solved it neatly and cleanly, telling everyone to see what he was capable of, and when he encountered a situation that they couldn't solve later, he would ask him for help, and then he would be worried that there would be no business at the door?

"Yes."

Therefore, after Xie Yinxue answered, she raised her head slightly, her back straightened, Shi Shiran walked towards the vegetable garden, then stood at the gate of the vegetable garden, turned her head and swept around the chefs, and finally stretched out her right hand like the emperor's concubine to spread it into a palm, and stayed in front of a chef without a knife in his hand.

The chef looked at Xie Yinxue's slightly powdered palm, and then raised his eyes to look at him.

Xie Yinxue also looked at his eyes, blinked her eyes slowly, and then opened her lips, obviously smiling gently, and her words and sentences were also polite and elegant, but her tone revealed the arrogance of the superior commanding others, as if she was used to doing this kind of thing, and now it is so sparse and ordinary: "I'm bothering you to get a basket for me." ”

Everyone gasped when they saw this.

These chefs don't look normal, but even if they are human-looking housekeepers and servants, they didn't dare to instruct them to carry their luggage just now, they all did it themselves.

And Xie Yinxue's stimulation to everyone is far more than that:

After the chef fetched him a basket to hang between his wrists, Xie Yinxue looked into his eyes and smiled, and suddenly praised him: "The eyes are very beautiful." ”

As soon as Xie Yinxue said this, everyone noticed that the chef's eyes were pale, similar to the ashes left behind after the white paper burned out, and the pupils were vertical, like the thin vertical pupils of a reptile like a snake.

As a result, Xie Yinxue not only praised his beautiful eyes, but also sent an invitation to the chef: "I haven't chosen any ingredients, can you please accompany me to choose and see if the ingredients are properly cooked?" ”

The chef was silent for a few seconds, then let out a low chuckle and said in a dumb voice, "Okay." ”

When Wei Dao and their old participants saw this scene, they felt more and more that Xie Yinxue was different from them, and was not an ordinary game participant, after all, most of the game participants would subconsciously avoid this kind of NPC with a terrifying appearance and a gloomy expression, and the farther away the better, but Xie Yinxue did the opposite.

And a few minutes ago in the inner courtyard, Ji Tao had already told them about the existence of the ferryman NPC, and the reason why Ji Tao told the news to the newcomers was mainly to use these newcomers to test Xie Yinxue to see if he was a ferryman NPC and could make a deal with him.

If Xie Yinxue is also an NPC, the "old friend" of the old housekeeper, then he is not afraid of these chefs, and it makes sense to direct them to be very natural with the little guys.

But everyone doesn't have a "background" like Xie Yinxue, and they don't have the courage like him, not to mention that even Liu Buhua, who has been following Xie Yinxue, hasn't entered yet, what are they anxious about? So the others all stood still, planning to wait for Xie Yinxue to leave the vegetable garden safely, and then they went in to pick up the ingredients.

So now in a huge vegetable garden, only Xie Yinxue and the vertical pupil chef he invited just now were wandering around.

After they went around the garden, nothing happened.

Faced with a safe situation, Xie Yinxue was a little disappointed - he also specially found someone who looked the most gloomy and special among the chefs and was very difficult to mess with, but who knew that this chef was not useful, and he was really just accompanying him to choose ingredients?

"As long as it's something from the garden, can it be used as an ingredient?" Xie Yinxue was bored, bent down slightly and stroked the tomato next to her calf, this tomato was red and green, not ripe, and at the same time asked the chef casually.

"Yes, even if it's dirt on the ground, as long as the guests choose, we can make it." The chef paused, as if to mean something, "As long as you can eat it." ”

"After all, Master Qin invited us people over just to let the guests have a good meal."

Xie Yinxue always felt that there was something in the words of this vertical pupil chef, he lifted his eyes and stared at this chef seriously again for a while, this chef was more than half a head taller than him, so that Xie Yinxue had to look up at him slightly, and the man's slender vertical pupils could not reflect his figure, his eyes were full of inorganic cold, but the man's voice from under the mask was obviously smiling - just like Xie Yinxue's smile that never reached the bottom of his eyes, there was no sincerity and temperature at all.

So Xie Yinxue also smiled, but in the next moment, he lowered his eyelashes, frowned and coughed a few times, his cheeks, which were not bloody, were even more white and transparent with his violent coughing, sick like a wisp of snow in the middle of winter, fragile and easy to break.

However, his back never bent down half an inch, and when he raised his eyes again, he said to the chef as if defiant: "What if I think the chef's food is not delicious and I don't enjoy it?" ”

Chef Vertical Hitomi replied, "That's the chef's question." ”

Xie Yinxue said leisurely: "If you don't let the guests eat satisfactory dishes, Master Qin should blame you, right?" ”

The vertical pupil chef didn't answer Xie Yinxue's question directly, but only bent down and pointed to the red and green tomato next to Xie Yinxue's calf and said, "Mr. Xie, you've been here for a long time, do you want to choose this tomato as an ingredient for tonight?" ”

"No, this tomato is not ripe yet." Xie Yinxue shook her head slightly, "I'll come over tomorrow to take a look, and if it's ripe by then, I'll choose it again." ”

After speaking, Xie Yinxue handed the vegetable basket on his wrist to Chef Vertical Pupil: "I'll choose this for today's ingredients." ”

The conversation between Xie Yinxue and the chef with vertical pupils could be heard by everyone standing outside the vegetable garden, and when everyone heard that he had already selected the ingredients, they all stretched their necks to see what Xie Yinxue had chosen, but after watching it for a long time, they didn't see anything in the vegetable basket.

- The basket is empty.

What did Xie Yinxue choose as an ingredient?

Not to mention the other game participants, even the vertical pupil chef hung his head and watched for a long time before he used his index finger and thumb to pinch out a small grain of rice from the vegetable basket, so that the vertical pupil chef couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after seeing the ingredients Xie Yinxue selected: "Rice? ”

"This is japonica rice, commonly known as pearl rice, I went around this vegetable garden and found that there are three kinds of rice here: indica, japonica and glutinous, and I like to eat japonica rice." Xie Yinxue twisted her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and after explaining to the vertical pupil chef in a tone of "You really don't know", she also said suspiciously, "Why are you a chef who can't even tell what kind of rice is used for cooking?" ”

The vertical pupil chef was silent, and responded with silence again.

Seeing this, Xie Yinxue also raised her eyebrows slightly, just like when a guest beckoned a real chef to cook well, and told the vertical pupil chef: "Cook well, the softness and hardness of the rice affect the taste, too soft or too hard, I don't like it, only rice with moderate softness and hardness can make me eat to the fullest." ”

"Don't let me down."

After speaking, Xie Yinxue turned around and left the vegetable garden without looking back.

The author has something to say:

Xie Lao (disdainful): Ignorance.

NPC：……

Chapter 4

They had never seen such an arrogant game participant.

Not to mention that the participants in this game also seem to be seriously ill, coughing twice from time to time, as if they are dying.

This is probably the common voice of all the participants in the game except Xie Yinxue and Liu Buhua, including the old man Wei Dao and them.

The last time Wei Dao saw only one-tenth of Xie Yinxue's arrogant and arrogant game participants who liked to be commanded by arrogance had already died in the previous game copy, and there was not even scum left.

But Xie Yinxue, who was so arrogant, finished selecting the ingredients accompanied by the weird and terrifying chef with vertical pupils, and came out of the vegetable garden unharmed.

Lu Shuo, Xiao Siyu, Gao Qiao and others looked at each other: "Who will go next?" ”

Before anyone could make up their minds, they saw Xie Yinxue pat Liu Buhua's shoulder after walking out of the vegetable garden, and said, "Some cucumbers in the vegetable garden are not fully ripe, and they should taste bitter and astringent, so choose them as ingredients." ”

Liu Buhua obediently agreed: "Okay, godfather." ”

Cucumbers are not ripe and not delicious, but they want to choose this bad vegetable as an ingredient, what is this crooked reason? Xie Yinxue didn't choose unripe tomatoes herself. And why did Liu Buhua call Xie Yinxue's godfather? Obviously, Liu Buhua's age looks older than Xie Yinxue.

Everyone listened to the conversation between the two of them, and they didn't know which one to start complaining about for a while.

And Liu Buhua really listened to Xie Yinxue's words, he didn't call a chef to accompany him like Xie Yinxue, he took a vegetable basket from the fence alone, stepped into the vegetable garden and walked straight towards the cucumber seedlings, pulled down a thin cucumber that was obviously not ripe and handed it to a chef casually, and then came out - the action was neat and fast, without the slightest hesitation, and the total time did not exceed three minutes.

This caused him to stand back beside Xie Yinxue, and when he carefully supported Xie Yinxue's arm to support his sick body, which seemed to be difficult to stand on, everyone had not yet reacted.

"That's it?" Gao Qiao said to himself, "Then I'll try it too." ”

She followed closely behind, carrying the basket and carefully entering the garden, during which she looked at the strange cooks standing by the fence with both fear and vigilance, but they just stood by and watched, as if the cooks would not take the initiative to talk to people without the invitation of their "guests".

However, Gao Qiao still cautiously asked them a few questions, such as how many ingredients should be selected, and whether there are any regulations on the quantity. The chef who first invited them into the vegetable garden to choose the ingredients told her that the ingredients are optional, the variety is not limited, the quantity is not limited, and they will automatically fill the required quantity according to the dishes, and the guests only need to put the selected ingredients in the vegetable basket.

The only caveat is that everyone can't pick the same ingredients on the same day.

Hearing this, Chen Yun hurriedly asked several of his roommates to throw away the four-leaf clover, and they looked at Gao Qiao with a lot of kind eyes, after all, if there was no Gao Qiao's inquiry, they didn't know that they all chose the same ingredients for this rule, and it might be difficult to survive tonight.

And Gao Qiao didn't listen carefully to what Xie Yinxue said to Liu Buhua, and according to his usual habit of buying vegetables, he picked a big and red red pepper and handed it to the chef and came out.

Everyone saw that there were already three people who had successfully selected the ingredients from the vegetable garden, and although the surrounding chefs looked terrifying, they didn't seem to be a threat, and there was no other danger in the vegetable garden, so they were a little relieved and entered the vegetable garden one after another to select ingredients.

Dai Yue and Xia Duo also asked the chef if they could go in with more than one person, and after getting a positive answer, they teamed up to enter the vegetable garden together.

Following them, Lu Shuo and Xiao Siyu, Wei Dao and the girls' dormitory and others also went into the vegetable garden to pick vegetables together.

But Dai Yue, who was in the team with Xia Duo, suddenly raised a question after everyone had selected the ingredients: "Why are there only vegetarian ingredients here, but no meat ingredients?" ”

This is a very scary question to ponder.

After all, this is the courtyard of the Qin Mansion, not a temple, does Master Qin only let them eat vegetarian food and not eat meat when he invites so many guests? But when the cooks came out of the kitchen, the knives they were holding were clearly stained with blood - a sign that there must be meat in the kitchen.

"It's full of vegetarian ingredients." Dai Yue pointed to the vegetable garden and said, "The only thing we can choose is vegetarian ingredients." ”

Wei Qiuyu chose eggs as ingredients for tonight, and when he heard Dai Yue say this, he asked him, "Are eggs also vegetarian ingredients?" Isn't it meat? Our school cafeteria collects money for it as a meat dish. ”

When it comes to school, Lu Shuo, who is the same age as them, has something to say, he said: "But the Malatang window in our school cafeteria treats eggs as vegetarian dishes to collect money." ”

Xia Duo sneered at the corner of his mouth, hugged his arms and said, "What's so strange about this?" Don't you know that unfertilized eggs belong to vegetarian dishes, and if eggs have been fertilized, they belong to meat dishes? ”
