"Shunfeng Lou hired him to refine food?" Yan Hong said.
"Yes. Yan Haoran stood in front of Yan Hong and said respectfully: "Not only that, Boss Ma gives him a very generous treatment, it is said that he can take two days off every five days of work, and he is also equipped with two assistant cooks, which seems to be very important to Tang Chen." It's just that the first time he refined, he made a joke, and he ate a third of the ingredients when he tried it... Others thought he was inexperienced, but I knew very well that he was just a little greedy. ”
Yan Hong was stunned for a moment, and then his eyebrows smiled into willow leaves: "Such a person, Shunfeng Lou still dares to invite?"
Yan Haoran also smiled: "At first, I thought that Ma Biao might have given us Yan Ji face, after all, I minded him going." But judging from Tang Chen's later performance, Shunfeng Lou was willing to invite him, mainly because of his refining level. In the past two days, there are a lot of people who have gone to Shunfeng Lou to eat spiritual food, and everyone's evaluation of spiritual food is not bad, I specially found someone to buy a spiritual food and tasted it, although his refining level is not as good as that of my Yan family's refiner, but in this small Dongtai Town, it is definitely a rare good hand. ”
"He can refine weapons, he can refine food, and he is not very old, such a person is unlikely to be an enemy agent, right?"
"Yes. And with his cultivation, even if he comes to our Yan family with ulterior motives, he can't make waves. Yan Haoran was very calm when he said this, as if this was a matter of course, just because he had enough confidence. This confidence not only comes from the power of the Yan family, but also from his comprehensive assessment of Tang Chen, if he was faintly wary of Tang Chen before, after this period of investigation and getting along, his doubts about Tang Chen have gradually dispelled, at least he is very sure that Forrest Gump's rescue of Tang Chen was purely an accident.
Yan Hong sighed faintly: "But in this way, Forrest Gump will have less time to find him..."
Yan Haoran was silent.
Forrest Gump regards Tang Chen as a friend, but Tang Chen is an outsider, during this time, under Yan Haoran's deliberate attention, he has learned Tang Chen's true nature as a foodie, and thinks that it is unlikely that he will stay in Dongtai for a long time, and it is a matter of time before he leaves. Of course, if the Yan family is willing, they are fully capable of leaving Tang Chen behind, but some things are bound to change, and it is difficult for Forrest Gump and Tang Chen to continue to maintain the current equal and pure friendship, in a sense, Forrest Gump will lose a friend, the only friend, which Yan Hong and Yan Haoran do not want to see.
Forrest Gump has no shortage of retinues and guards, what he needs is friends, pure friends.
Yan Hong also understood this, so she quickly put away the melancholy in her heart and said lightly: "Uncle Ran, I will leave for a while in a few days, and Forrest Gump will stay here." ”
"Miss, don't worry. I won't go to the Qixia Autumn Fair this time, and stay in Dongtai to watch the young master. ”
"The trade fair is still going to go. The girl played with her long silver-gray hair, looked at the sky outside the window, and said leisurely: "Although the business of groceries is not worth mentioning, please remember Uncle Ran to remember what kind of identity you have, and what kind of things you do." Our Yan family is not as good as before, otherwise we would not have hid in this poor country, incognito and waiting for the opportunity to recover... At this time, any negligence can lead to serious consequences, and it is inevitable that groceries are well-known in the Kokura world, and not participating in the annual autumn fair will inevitably arouse suspicion. Even if Uncle Ran has no time to withdraw, at least he has to send someone to attend the meeting on behalf of Yan Ji. ”
Yan Haoran was dripping in cold sweat, and said solemnly: "Fortunately, Miss reminded me, I know what to do." ”
The girl smiled, and the sunlight outside the window was shining on her, as if the whole room was lit up.
When Yan Hong and Yan Haoran were talking, Tang Chen was walking into a room with spiritual food.
As a popular refiner in Shunfeng Building, Tang Chen naturally has an independent lounge in the restaurant. Every time he refines the spiritual food, Tang Chen will use more ingredients than he actually needs, and after refining the food, he will return to the lounge with the extra spiritual food, which is called "studying the spiritual food and improving the level", in fact, everyone in the kitchen knows that this guy is just hiding and stealing food.
Some people expressed dissatisfaction with this, thinking that Tang Chen was suspected of enriching his own pockets.
But Shopkeeper Hong stood on Tang Chen's side clearly, and praised the spirit of a foodie who studied hard, and everyone was helpless about it. There is the support of the shopkeeper and the boss, plus Tang Chen is not arrogant except for being greedy, he is very friendly to everyone, and gradually everyone is accustomed to his frequent "research". Up to now, everyone even thinks that Tang Chen is not easy, eating so much and not being strangled to death can probably be regarded as a miracle, and the belly must be quite uncomfortable!
Closing the door of the lounge, Tang Chen put the spiritual food on the table.
"Meow!"
The kitten, who had been waiting in the lounge, with a bulging belly, jumped awkwardly on the table and meowed non-stop.
"Look at your belly, it's almost balled, can you still eat?"
"Meow!" the kitten narrowed its eyes, stretched out a front paw and scratched in the air, signaling Tang Chen to hurry up.
"At the moment of food, although the stomach is as bloated as a drum, there is no regret, and it is worthy of my cat. Okay, okay, your share is indispensable, try the white-tailed venison I made!" Tang Chen smiled and picked up a piece of venison and put it on the plate in front of the kitten, the kitten squatted in front of the plate, licked it with his tongue, and then ate it beautifully.
Tang Chen looked at the spiritual food on the plate, but he sighed and smiled bitterly.
"It's not easy to be a foodie..."
Coming to Shunfeng Building, not only can he improve his refining experience, but he can also eat a large amount of free spiritual food, and he can feel that the speed of cultivation is several times faster than that of meditation, and Tang Chen is very satisfied with this. However, he kept too much spiritual food for himself, his stomach was very uncomfortable, and the bloating was still a trivial matter, and the forbearance was over, but Tang Chen found that because the spiritual power in his body had been in a state of overflow, it seemed that the absorption efficiency of the spiritual power in the spiritual food had also been affected, which was slightly lower than the initial efficiency.
Although the decline is not significant, it is real.
This situation is not difficult to understand, the same is true of meditation, when the spiritual power gap in the body is relatively large, the body needs more spiritual energy replenishment, and it is always faster to absorb spiritual energy when meditating to recover.
If it were someone else, he might not think that this was a problem, but Tang Chen didn't think so.
After practicing the "Gluttonous Sutra", he relied on eating spiritual food to quickly improve his cultivation, don't look at the two days of eating, his eyes are straight, but after all, he is using the resources of Shunfeng Building to fill his own pocket. Dongtai Town is close to the origin of ingredients, rich in food resources, and the price is relatively cheap, and Shunfeng Lou is thirsty for talents, Tang Chen can pretend to be a public and private feast, change to a refining building, how can there be such a good thing?
What's more, refining food in a restaurant is only an expedient measure, Tang Chen will leave sooner or later, how can there be so many ingredients for him to squander after leaving? Therefore, how to make the best use of ingredients is a problem he must face.
"I have to find a way to consume the spiritual power in my body!"
