Chapter 180: The Mysterious Chef
"Brother Xiang, it's up to you whether you can find that mysterious chef or not. ”
Ye Qing looked up at the bright moon like a jade plate, lowered his head and lit a bright yellow incense stick, folded his hands, held the incense in his hand, and solemnly bowed three times.
One worships the sky, two respects the earth, and three prayers to the world.
"Brother Xiang, please!"
As soon as the words fell, the incense stick in Ye Qing's hand suddenly and quickly burned, and bursts of thick cyan smoke, without wind, automatically drifted in one direction.
"Thank you, Brother Xiang. ”
Ye Qing was happy in his heart, the incense in his hand was naturally the fortune incense, which he had just refined yesterday.
The refining conditions of fortune incense are not as harsh as bad luck incense, and you only need to choose an auspicious time to refine it every day.
The difficulty in refining the incense of fortune lies in the collection of materials, whether it is the lucky flower or the moon cereal, it is an extremely rare spiritual material, and it is more valuable and rare than the materials required to refine the incense of bad luck alone.
Therefore, the corresponding refining conditions and methods are relatively simple.
Of course, the simple refining method does not mean that the fragrance rate is high.
Fortunately, Ye Qing refining several main materials of fortune incense, such as moon-seen chalcedony and clover grass, are the best products, lucky flowers are a century-old ingredient, moon-seen chalcedony is pure and flawless, so the incense rate is extremely high, a total of six, in line with the meaning of six or six Shun, and the quality is excellent.
However, even if there is luck and incense, Ye Qing is not very sure whether he can find the mysterious chef.
After all, that's just a story!
However, now that I see the situation of fortune incense, it seems that there is a drama.
In addition, judging from the burning speed of the fortune incense, the mysterious chef is also extremely extraordinary, because the burning speed of the fortune incense is too fast, according to this burning speed, the fortune incense in his hand can only last for a quarter of an hour at most, or even less.
Not daring to slack off, Ye Qing immediately followed the direction of the fortune Xiangqing smoke and chased after him.
This chase is half a cup of tea, from Jing'an Street, chased to Qingshi Lane, almost half of Luoshui City, just when the fortune incense in his hand was about to burn out, the smoke finally stopped at the corner of an alley, slowly dispersed.
"That mysterious chef is here? No, Brother Xiang, you won't fool me, right?" Ye Qing glanced at it, and in his spiritual power perception, there was no strange aura within a radius of dozens of zhang.
"Ahem......"
As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, he saw a puff of green smoke suddenly emerge from the fortune incense that was about to be extinguished in his hand, and the green smoke directly drilled into his nose, choking his tears and snot, coughing constantly, and it took a while to ease up.
"Ahem...... I can't do it, my temper is quite big!" Ye Qing looked at the burning fortune incense in his hand, and was quite speechless.
Glancing at the empty alley, Ye Qing sighed and turned the corner.
However, the moment he turned the corner, a strange ripple rippled in the air, as if stepping into another dimension.
Immediately after, a faint light came into view, accompanied by the sound of snoring and eating.
Ye Qing followed the faint light and looked over, and saw that the three of them were sitting on a low wooden table, holding a bowl of rice, and eating deliciously.
Three people, two men and one woman, two men, one honest-looking, like an honest peasant, holding a large bowl of oily noodles, gulping down, smiling;
A thin figure, full of bookishness, like a scholar, with a bowl of meat rice in front of him, eating slowly and methodically, with a happy face.
The last woman, richly dressed, gentle, dignified and virtuous, had a bowl of big-bone beef noodles in front of her, tasting it in small bites, and looking intoxicated.
Three people, different genders, different classes, different foods, the only thing that is the same is that all the food is fragrant, full of color, flavor;
Everyone's faces are filled with happiness, joy and beauty.
Not far from the three of them, there is a simple stove similar to a chaotic stall, with a stove and iron pot on the left, flour, vegetables and other ingredients on the right, and a table in the middle.
An old man of about the age of sixties, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a kind and pleasant face, was standing in front of the table and rolling out noodles, and on the stove was a large cauldron, which was steaming hot, and a rich fragrance came from the cauldron.
The warm firelight, the fragrant smell, the hard-working and kind old people, and the happy guests paint a warm and beautiful picture, dispelling the darkness and coldness of the long night......
Heaven and earth are the most beautiful, it is the world;
The most beautiful thing in the world is fireworks.
But this warm and beautiful picture fell in Ye Qing's eyes, but he shuddered a little.
Because before, he didn't even notice the people and things that were close by a wall, whether it was a sound or a breath.
It's as if there are two worlds between this wall.
If he hadn't subconsciously turned the corner, he wouldn't even know that there was a stall here, with three guests, and a warm and beautiful picture of the world.
"Legendary ...... Mystery Chef?!"
In Ye Qing's mind, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip, the old man in front of him was very likely to be the mysterious chef mentioned in the soterious story.
In the story, the mysterious chef will randomly appear anywhere in Luoshui City on the night of the full moon, which can only be encountered by the lucky and kind-hearted people, and the food cooked by the mysterious chef will make guests forget all their worries and sorrows, and feel the happiness and beauty of the world...... All of these features fit in with the picture in front of you.
"Another guest is coming, please take a seat, please take a seat!" At this time, the old man also found Ye Qing, put down the rolling pin in his hand, and welcomed warmly.
"Haha...... I didn't expect there to be a seller here, just so I'm hungry!" Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he responded with a smile.
As he spoke, Ye Qing walked towards the table, and as he walked, he asked, "Uncle, what do you have here?"
"Hehe, what do you want to eat, Xiao Lao'er has it here, vegetarian meat, fried and fried, and dry soup...... As long as the guests want to eat, the little old man can make it for you. The old man replied with a smile.
"Yo, you can do anything, is it really fake?" Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, sat down at an empty table, and said suspiciously.
The old man smiled and said: "How dare the little old man deceive the guests? Guest, just say that if the little old man can't do it later, the guest can open the little old man's stall!"
"Hehe, that's a good feeling. ”
Ye Qing smiled lightly, turned the chopsticks in his hand, and pondered: "Since you can do anything, then let me think about it?"
The guest thought slowly, and told the little old man when he thought about it. The old man didn't seem to be in a hurry, and responded with a smile.
"Okay......! What should you eat?" Ye Qing put down his chopsticks, supported his chin with his hand, his eyes flickered, he seemed to be thinking about what to eat, but in fact, he was using his mental power to perceive everything around him.
It was far away before, Ye Qing was afraid of startling the snake, so he didn't use his mental power to test it, and now is a good opportunity.
Under the spread of spiritual power, everything around is clearly presented in the sea of knowledge, the satisfied mood of the honest man, the happy eyes of the weak scholar, the happy expression of the noble woman, and the busy figure of the old man, as if there is nothing abnormal in everything, but everything is very wrong.
For example, when he appeared, the three of them didn't look at him from beginning to end, as if they were completely immersed in the food and didn't know anything else.
For example, in his spiritual perception, there was no trace of the activity of insects, birds, and beasts around him, and he was silent, as if there were only a few living people here;
For example, the old man in front of him has been busy, obviously he is the only guest, and he has not asked for anything, but the old man has been busy, rolling noodles for a while, picking vegetables for a while, washing rice for a while, and being busy, as if there are ten dozens of guests waiting to eat here.
Suddenly, in Ye Qing's perception, the gurgling cauldron trembled slightly, and a voice came out of the pot: "Another fool is coming, what do you think he will order to eat?"
"Let's eat noodles, the noodles are the best, especially the noodles I rolled, they are full of strength and delicious!"
The rolling pin on the table jumped slightly, and said proudly.
"Hmph, what's so delicious about noodles, dry, vulgar food, how can there be delicious rice, mellow and soft glutinous!"
The rice jar on the ground shook twice, the rice grains jumped, and a sound came out, disdainfully.
"Bastard, rice bowl, where are the noodles vulgar, look down on the noodles, right? You tell me well, or Lao Tzu will smash you!" The rolling pin was furious, and the noodles spread on the table arched up, and if he didn't agree with him, he would jump up and hammer your dog's head and break your dog's neck.
Mi Jar said disdainfully: "You just look down on noodles, what's wrong? You don't look at it, who eats noodles, croppers, blacksmiths, dog slaughterers, a group of vulgar and pickled people." ”
"Look at the people who eat our rice, the talented people who are rich in learning and five cars, the beauties who are proficient in calligraphy and painting, the businessmen who are rich in the world, and the dignitaries who live in the temples, all of them are elegant and illustrious. ”
"That's it...... It's ......"
With the rice bowl, the rice grains in the tank can't wait to echo the words.
"Hmph, you know what, that's manhood, like you, sissy. The rolling pin retorted.
"You...... Vulgar, vulgar savage. The rice tank responded.
"Sissy ......"
"Vulgar and barbaric ......"
Then, the noodle faction represented by the rolling pin and the rice faction represented by the rice bowl were thrown into each other's faction, and the shrews scolded the street and spat fragrant mouths.
“......”
What kind of world is this, even the food is also discriminated against by class, have you asked chicken, duck and fish?
Ye Qing propped his chin and was quite speechless.
However, if it weren't for those rolling pins, rice jars, etc., who took the initiative to speak, he wouldn't have noticed that those things were all weird?!
"Don't measure yourself, don't measure yourself? Who gave you the courage to speak so loudly? Rice, noodles, and so on, without a single oil or water? Where is our mutton delicious? It can be used as both soup and stir-fry, as a staple food and as a non-staple food, and can satisfy your hunger and nourish your body!"
As soon as Ye Qing's thoughts fell, with the sound of gurgling, a large piece of lamb ribs floated up from the iron pot, with a strong fragrance, and the voice came from the lamb ribs: "You group of scum, how can you compare with my noble mutton." ”
Ye Qing: "......" really means meat, meat.
