Youjia Inn

At night, the dim moon is surrounded by several layers of dark clouds, and the darkness embraces the earth.In a prosperous place, there is a room that is brightly lit to support the luxurious life of the people inside.

But in those places where there is no light, in those cold and damp corners where no light can be seen, there are naturally those homeless wretches who curl up in a ball and spend the long night relying on their body temperature.

Xiao Dao is such a poor creature, he fled in a panic from the geomantic treasure he had carefully selected, and hid in such a dark, wet, dirty and smelly corner of a dark alley where no one would rob him again, and sat against the wall, Holding his knees in one hand, holding the cold hard sesame seed cake in the other, staring at the cake intently.

"Hey, you are the only one who will never leave me on the way back." Xiaodao sighed, and the scene in the ruined temple gradually emerged in his mind, bright and warm flames, hot water, and a stranger People who are willing to help.

One day, human feelings are tasted all over.The heart that had been calm for a long time finally turned into waves. The knife tore open the cold biscuit, and put this kind of food that had been put in the mouth for N days for the first time.

Unexpectedly, although the shell of the biscuit is hard, it is not that dry and blunt. It retains its layered and crispy texture when it comes out of the pan.

The slightly browned shell wraps the white soft inside. Because it is cold, it has no fragrance at all, but after one bite, the salty aroma of the dough and green onions spreads on the tongue, and then as the dough stretches in the mouth, it is really delicious. Call it a mouthful of crispy fragrance.

A biscuit was solved three times, five times and two times. With some food in the stomach, the body was warm.

Thoughts returned to the human world from an unknown dark realm, he knew that he would never forget this biscuit in his whole life, and he also knew that no one could make such a biscuit perfectly again.

He closed his eyes and began to reminisce from this second.This feeling, this scene, this taste will never be forgotten.

Xiaodao opened his eyes, all the confusion receded, his heart was clear, he found his soul-eating.

"Since you have realized something, why don't you come back quickly?" The vast and boundless voice echoed in the sky.

After finishing speaking, the sky and the earth were silent, and then a colorful glow fell, and it flew away with a knife in hand.

"Just now, what happened, why did a ray of light fly up, am I blind?"

"No, no, there is absolutely no mistake. Could it be that someone with great supernatural powers did it here."

"It must be a good sign that the capital is now glowing."

……

Pedestrians stopped walking, stopped to watch, and talked a lot.

"Ha, after hearing you say that, I suddenly remembered!"

Old Zhang slapped his forehead, "I said, why do you look familiar, so it's you!"

"You are?" Xiaodao looked at Lao Zhang, but he didn't have any memory about the person in front of him.

"Hey, I'm the one who baked the pancakes for you." Lao Zhang excitedly patted Xiao Dao on the shoulder, and his whole body trembled regularly.

Xiaodao was a little unbelievable, and looked at Lao Zhang carefully up and down.

"Master Zhang, you, this?" Xiaodao gestured to Old Zhang, drawing out the slender figure in memory.

"Hey, have you put on weight in middle age? Let's talk about cooks. You have to put on weight first, right?"

Lao Zhang happily patted his stomach, and the three layers of flesh on his stomach fluctuated elastically.Looking at Lao Zhang like this, it seems that there is still a little bit of complacency.

"In the decades since I met you, I have also wandered around the world, tasted all kinds of delicacies from all over the world, and I am always reluctant to move when I get old, so I finally chose to settle down here.

This inn is the intersection of all walks of life. You can meet different goblins, ghosts, human beings and devils every day, and occasionally you can meet a few down-and-out gods like you.There are wines and stories, researching novelty gadgets, doing what I like to do, not to mention how happy I am. "Old Zhang gulped down a sip of peach blossom wine enthusiastically, and then said, "Oh, I like you a lot, boy, do you want to stay in the inn for a few more days, you can talk about the accommodation fee and so on. "

"Old Zhang, don't interrupt, let's settle the business first." Boss Bai looked at Lao Zhang's eagerness to abduct him, and his warm smile melted into his half-closed eyes. .

This old Zhang finally felt relieved, thinking that he would not be able to eat normal dishes until he cleaned up his shovel properly.

"Look at how happy I am." Drinking didn't even make Lao Zhang's old face blush, but this time he made a big splash, "Boss, if you ask, I don't interrupt, don't interrupt."

Boss Bai nodded, and then asked: "God of Cookery, can you tell me that the Dao has been enlightened, do you still have any doubts in your heart?"

Xiaodao looked at Boss Bai for a long time, his lips moved, as if he was about to speak, but finally he didn't say a word, he lowered his head and took a sip of his wine.

"Oh, needless to say, everyone is a cook with ambition and pursuit." Lao Zhang couldn't hold back anymore, he interrupted again, and quietly glanced at Boss Bai.

Boss Bai just smiled and took another sip of his wine without any intention of stopping him.

"Facing a group of heartless, expressionless wooden gods and ghosts, we can cook delicious food." Lao Zhang continued.

Su Ruiji's Zheng Huan almost didn't laugh out loud after hearing Lao Zhang's disdainful contempt. Does anyone say that there is a fairy sitting in front of you?

Su Rui, who couldn't restrain herself from complaining about the prehistoric power, gave Lao Zhang a rough description of the gods on the straw paper, without a comment "three no products" beside it.

Boss Bai glanced at Su Rui, whose shoulders twitched, restraining his urge to cover his face and sigh.

Can I return the product? I recruited a bunch of cunning treasures. I'm so silly. Please control your messy thoughts. Hey, Suri, look like this.Stop, this is me, I was infected by this kid Su Rui, right?

Boss Bai suppressed his desire to continue complaining with a dark face.

Su Rui sneezed and stared at the boss inexplicably.I always feel that something terrible happened just now, who is thinking of me, my God, why is his face so smelly, hey, there must be nothing good.

"Hey, I said Xiaodao, you are amazing. You are amazing at cooking so many meals for that wave of gods. It is enough for me for a week. Even if I cook different dishes every day, facing a It’s a facial paralysis, but it tastes the same when you make it, yes, that’s right, I understand, the most perfect and delicate, no matter how delicious you make, it’s still an expression, my god, who can do it.”

Lao Zhang was eloquent, and today he finally found a bosom friend who had a similar experience, and poured out his own bitterness that had been stinking away for hundreds of years.

"Huh? Excuse me, Master Zhang?" Xiao Dao raised his eyebrows slightly, with a vague expectation in his heart.

"That's right, that's right, I'm the one who handed a note to the Emperor of Heaven." Old Zhang puffed out his chest proudly, slapped the table, and said with arrogance, "Go to his mother's heaven!"

The frightened Xiaodao was stunned, and with a shake of the glass in his hand, half a glass of wine was spilled.

"Oh, what are you afraid of." Lao Zhang clapped his hands, and immediately a paper figurine floated over, quickly clearing the table, "Isn't it just a few more years of repairing, and you have to put on a bad face one by one, and you are so arrogant boom."

Su Rui also tactfully refilled the guest's wine, and stepped back to continue his duty as a recorder.

"Here, we have a conversation, the sky doesn't know, the earth doesn't know." The boss said slowly, his tone was unquestionable and firm.

"Oh, gods, gods are boring." Xiaodao sighed.

"That's right, you hang out with me for a few days, let you see what is called fresh cooking, you don't charge tuition fees, let me tell you, it's the sesame seed cake I made for you, today, I can already make it To fully integrate your emotions and memories of that day into it, to ensure that you will be satisfied." Lao Zhang couldn't help but pat the knife on the shoulder again.

The God of Cookery, who used alcohol to relieve his worries, choked on the wine perfectly and coughed continuously, and gave Lao Zhang a chance to give him a few slaps on the back.

Xiaodao's eyes shone with excitement and admiration, enjoying the critical attack from idol in pain and joy.

The next day, early in the morning, there was an inn at the door.

Xiaodao stood in front of the closed door with a large bag of kitchen utensils on his back. After struggling for a while, he knocked on the door cautiously. He knocked lightly a few times, but no one answered.

Am I here too early?Ah, it really is too early.Xiaodao took off his big bag of kitchen utensils and put them aside, turning his sore shoulders.

The enchantment here is indeed very powerful, and all the space magic tools have failed, causing me to walk all the way exhausted.Xiaodao sat silently on the stone steps of the inn, looking at the barren field in front of him.

The sky is white with clouds, and there are wisps of mist in the air. There is no sun, but the light is surprisingly sufficient.

There is only one road, which is paved with bluestones. One end of the road is the inn, and the other end leads to nowhere.

Alas, if the boss hadn't told me how to get here, even if I've been here once, I wouldn't know how to get here the second time.

Even though his back was facing the inn, Xiaodao's ears were always straight, and he would be able to detect any movement in the inn immediately.

Sitting with high concentration for most of the day, there was no soft movement or movement.The knife rang the door again, this time it was not as gentle as the first time, with a loud thud.

It's time to open the door.No one took care of him, so Xiaodao sat on the stone steps in a daze.

"Crack." The door opened.

Old Zhang came out with a yawn: "It's so early, I guess it's you, kid, just woke up, washed his face, and waited for a while."

Xiaodao picked up the kitchen utensils and walked towards the inn, and said as he walked, "Does your inn always open so late?"

"That's not true, love will come or not." Lao Zhang yawned and walked towards the kitchen with a knife, "You can put the things in the kitchen, and I will be here at 9 o'clock. I have dark circles under my eyes.”

"Ah??" She looked good, but where did she get the dark circles under her eyes.

"Ah, hahaha." Lao Zhang laughed awkwardly, "Our inn is more casual, casual, oh yes, you plan to stay for a few days, the inn accommodation fee plus last night's answering fee is not cheap, see I can give you a [-]% discount because I think you are quite pleasing to the eye, and it is estimated that Xianli will not be able to run away in a few years."

"I handed in a resignation to Tianting and plan to live permanently." A smile hung on the corner of Xiaodao's mouth.

"Hey, can the immortal still resign from this job?"

"Didn't you hand over a copy back then?"

"Good boy!"

"Go to his mother's heaven!" The two said in unison.
