The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 65 Classic of Mountains and Seas

At six o'clock, the first group of uncles and aunts who came to the Yunzhong Canteen for breakfast for morning jogging found that Master Zheng, who had been randomly dropped, did not drop, and they let out the first wail.

At seven o'clock, the second group of uncles and aunts from the nearby community who came to Yunzhong Canteen for breakfast discovered that Master Zheng was not actually a canteen employee. He had just come to communicate and help, and now he had gone back, and they cried the second time.

At ten o'clock, a group of diners who skipped work/slacked off/sat to buy dim sum discovered that not only was Xiao Chef Zheng gone, but Lao Chef Zheng was also gone, and all the delicious Su-style pastries that had randomly dropped from them were gone as well. The diners let out the third wave of cries of grief.

At 10:30, Chen Huihong was sitting in the Yunzhong Canteen and called her brother with a serious face, asking her brother why he had not recruited a qualified dim sum chef for such a long time.

Chen Huihong's younger brother: ...

Sister, didn’t you say there’s no rush?
What could Chen Huihong's brother do? He could only call the HR manager and ask him to hurry up and recruit. He also asked his sister for the address of Zheng Siyuan's pastry shop in Suzhou and asked his assistant to go there and buy some pastries and bring them back tomorrow.

"Don't worry, Xiao Qin. I'll ask my brother to hurry up and recruit a dim sum chef. He'll try to get you a helper this month." Chen Huihong put down her phone and promised.

"It's not that urgent, actually. The main reason is that my mother has already reserved a private high school in Guangdong Province and has already contacted the admissions office there. My mother will take Luo Luo back home at the end of the month, so now the cafeteria not only needs to recruit new dim sum chefs, but also additional kitchen helpers. It's easier to recruit small workers like cleaners and handymen, but I think we still have to carefully select the kitchen staff." Qin Huai explained.

Chen Huihong agreed with Qin Huai's point of view and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, Xiao Qin, you can rest assured to make snacks. I will take care of all these small things. You only need to review them at the end."

"Huihui is still at her uncle's house?" Qin Huai began to care about Chen Huihui.

"Yes, she is playing with cats at her uncle's house." Chen Huihong said with a smile, "I asked her if she wanted to come to the cafeteria to eat the noodles you made at noon, and she was still hesitating, asking me if she could have both chicken noodle soup and locust flower steamed buns."

"My brother wanted to eat Sophora japonica buns as soon as he heard about them, but he was too lazy to go there, so he asked me to buy two bags and bring them to him. How could I buy him two bags? I told him to come and eat them in two days."

Qin Huai understood the meaning of the song and said immediately: "The locust flower steamed buns were in the trial stage some time ago, so the quantity was of course not large, and we were afraid that the taste would be unstable. This morning I asked Sister Xi to order the menu of locust flower steamed buns. In two days, they will be officially on the shelves like the fermented glutinous rice steamed buns. Don't say two bags, three, four, or five bags will be fine."

"Sister Hong, just come and get it this afternoon. I was planning to do some more practice this afternoon. As long as you don't mind that this is the steamed bun for me to practice with, it's fine."

"Your brother has been helping me recruit and researching schools for me recently. I just don't know how to thank him."

"By the way, are you hungry now? I have prepared the handmade noodles. Would you like to try the chicken noodle soup I just made?"

Of course Chen Huihong would not refuse and nodded happily.

Qin Huai went into the kitchen to cook noodles.

It only takes a few minutes to cook the noodles, and soon a pot of steaming noodles with chicken soup as the base and vegetables and mushrooms as the toppings is ready.

【Longevity Noodles C+ Grade】

It's not B-grade, but C+ grade is pretty good. As an ordinary bowl of noodles, Qinhuai believes that this bowl of noodles should be able to beat 99% of the surrounding machine-pressed noodles.

As for the remaining 1%...

What if Zheng Da suddenly has an idea and decides to open a noodle shop nearby?

Qin Huai brought out the noodles himself.

He wanted to watch Chen Huihong eat.

There is a warm reminder after the details of the longevity noodles, specifically reminding Qin Huai to make longevity noodles for Chen Huihong as a surprise.

Having said that, Qin Huai certainly wanted to see what the surprise was.

I just don’t know whether the C+ grade longevity noodles are up to standard. If the C+ grade doesn’t taste good enough, Qin Huai decided to practice hard these days and try to make B or B- grade ones.

"Please try it. This chicken noodle soup is still in the trial stage. If you have any questions, please feel free to tell me." Qin Huai sat down directly, sitting opposite Chen Huihong.

Chen Huihong picked up the chopsticks.

There were a few old men chatting nearby, and they were no longer surprised by Qin Huai's special cooking.

Chef Xiao Qin has a good relationship with Chen Huihong, so it is normal for him to cook for himself. Chen Huihong is responsible for recruiting people from outside the canteen. Eating a bowl of noodles from a special stove is not jealous.

The one who really deserves to die is the guy named Ding. He brings home so many fermented rice wine buns every day that the old men say their teeth are broken.

"This noodle looks very chewy." Chen Huihong exclaimed, picked it up and looked at it carefully, "Why does it seem like there is only one noodle? Isn't this a longevity noodle?"

"This is a special way of cooking. There is only one noodle in a bowl. It's like longevity noodles, and it has a good meaning." Qin Huai explained.

After hearing what Qin Huai said, Chen Huihong thought it made sense, so she took a bite without thinking too much.

Chen Huihong was stunned.

It was not the usual kind of daze, but like a dead machine, with the noodles in his mouth but not biting off, the noodles held by the chopsticks hovering above the bowl, his lips and nose not moving, even his eyes did not blink. Only his eyes, which changed from smiling to confused, then to empty, finally repeated to clear and bright.

Qin Huai was also a little stunned. He was really stunned. He even looked around in panic to see if there were any diners looking over here and noticing Chen Huihong's abnormality. About forty or fifty seconds later, Chen Huihong moved.

She silently finished the whole bowl of noodles in one breath, without biting off the pieces like longevity noodles.

Then he wiped his mouth quietly, raised his eyes and looked at Qin Huai without any expression, with three parts of shock, two parts of confusion and five parts of indescribable subtlety in his eyes.

At this moment, Qin Huai felt that Chen Huihong sitting in front of her was a bit like the Chen Huihong in her dream.

"I really didn't expect it." Chen Huihong spoke.

"What?" Qin Huai didn't understand.

Chen Huihong looked at Qin Huai deeply again and took a deep breath: "I didn't expect that I could still wake up."

Qin Huai:?
Seeing Qin Huai's confusion, Chen Huihong smiled and said, "Let me think about how to explain to you... I am Bai."

Okay, Qin Huai felt that there was no need to explain.

Mom, the spiritual energy has revived, and the monsters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas have recovered their memories of their past lives.

"I know." Qin Huai said sincerely, "Sister Hong, do we really have to have such an...inhuman conversation in the lobby? Why don't we go to the second floor? There's no one there."

"Okay." Chen Huihong stood up and went upstairs with Qin Huai.

"I know you should have some special ways to know who I am, but how do you know?" Chen Huihong asked curiously.

"To be honest, I have had a system since I was a child." Qin Huai knew that it was time to be honest again.

The last time he was so frank with others was with Qin Luo when he was in kindergarten.

Chen Huihong:?

"My system has a game panel and issues tasks. Completing the tasks will give you dreams. They are all your dreams. In my dreams, I saw many complicated... stories about you and Huihui in your past life."

Chen Huihong:? ?
Now it was Chen Huihong's turn to be confused. After thinking for a long time, Chen Huihong said, "Wow."

"system."

"But now I know how to explain it to you."

"Have you read the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Qin Huai shook his head: "I have already placed the order. It will arrive tomorrow."

"It is indeed worth a look. You can understand that the monsters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas need to enter the world to transcend tribulations after practicing to a certain level."

Qin Huai nodded: "I understand this. There are also similar plots in the novels Luo Luo reads."

"That's about it. You can think of it as entering the Three Thousand Small Worlds, or as escaping from the deep mountains and old forests. Either way, it's all about overcoming the tribulation."

"If you succeed in overcoming the tribulation, you will enter another level."

"If you fail to survive the tribulation, you will be reincarnated with your memories."

"Then what is considered success and what is considered failure?" Qin Huai was a little curious.

"It depends on ourselves." Chen Huihong said, "Some spirits survive tribulations and come to the human world for a visit. They eat, drink, have fun and enjoy the world. Naturally, they succeed in surviving tribulations happily."

"Some spirits survive tribulations, experience all kinds of human suffering, and endure all kinds of pain and suffering, but in the end they can only enter reincarnation with reluctance and regret."

"If you are unwilling and obsessed, you will fail."

"When I first entered the cycle of reincarnation, I still had my memories. I knew who I was and my purpose was to resolve the resentment and obsession in my heart."

"After reincarnation several times, maybe three or five times, or as little as one or two times, the memory will fade. In the last life, we will completely forget who we are and just think of ourselves as ordinary people. At most, we will feel a little reluctant in our hearts."

"If we still can't remember who we are in our last life, can't let go, and can't wake up, then we are truly dead."

Qin Huai understood. He looked at Chen Huihong: "So... you are..."

"The last life." Chen Huihong nodded.

"Thank you for waking me up."
