Cute Beast Food Garden

Chapter 26 The Temptation of the Village

Seeing that Qi Yan was in a daze, Boss Lan added: "If you are interested, you can try to stay in Fourteen Restaurant to learn cooking skills and knowledge about herbs and exotic animals, and help improve new dishes by the way. When you get paid monthly, you can also taste free dishes.

Right now, Fourteen restaurants are short of manpower. One of the original three cooks has retired and returned to his hometown, one has just taken up his post, and the other is planning to ask for leave.It would be great if you could come and help. "

Qi Yan didn't expect Boss Lan to throw an olive branch to him.He felt that Boss Lan's attitude towards him was really worth pondering. He was almost certain that Boss Lan knew that he was transformed from the little red bird "Zhe Que", so he unconditionally trusted him when he "meeted for the first time".

On second thought, this Boss Lan should be very familiar with transformed spirit beasts.Follow him, maybe you can learn more about the mysteries of your life experience and skills, such as deformation and copying.

However, this means that he has to separate from Si Dongmo.

Si Dongmo grinned, and said half-jokingly to Boss Lan, "Boss Lan, are you trying to poach my wall?"

Boss Lan shook the fan in his hand, and said with a faint smile: "It's just a small proposal. I sincerely invite you. As for whether to come or not, it's up to Brother Qi to make his own decision. No matter whether you agree or not, just go with it." Naturally, being invited is a fate, and leaving is also a fate."

Si Dongmo turned his face away, looked at the young man's confused look, and said softly, "Everyone has his own ambition... Boss Lan's place is not bad either, you can learn something if you stay here, and you can earn enough money to support yourself. Qi Yan, if you want to stay here, make up your mind, and if you want to go back to Lezhuang with me, then follow you. Everything is up to you."

In the final analysis, the two of them are not actually siblings, nor is it the relationship between the owner and the pet.Si Dongmo looked at Qi Yan gently, he hoped that the bird who had traveled with him for a while would follow his own ideas and live the life he wanted.

After all, in his opinion, he is just an ordinary farmer, and the bird is a rare "treasure and spirit beast".Even though it is still a fat little chick, one day it will spread its wings and fly high.

To him, this young man seemed out of reach...

"Boss Lan, thank you for your kindness." Qi Yan made up his mind and smiled politely at the boss, "It's just... I'm not quite used to the life in the town yet, I want to go to the countryside for a while."

Boss Lan didn't show much surprise, he nodded with a smile: "It's not bad to take a walk in the fields, it's leisurely and comfortable, but it's much cleaner than this bustling market."

Qi Yan thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Boss Lan, this restaurant of yours not only sells dishes, but also some snacks, right?" A row of paper bags with words like "peanuts," "honey," and "preserved fruit" written on the outer wrappers.

"Yes, mostly fruit desserts and honey."

"As far as I know, the residents near Luoxia Town don't like desserts very much, but prefer salty, spicy and hard snacks." Qi Yan said, "The Shanhuo shop on this street also sells small snacks. The roasted seeds and nuts they sell are very popular, but if you eat too much, your mouth will dry out and you will get angry, especially melon seeds. If the restaurant can make "melon seeds that don't get angry" and "grass-flavored preserved fruits" I think some people will be willing to try "healthy snacks" like this."

"That's a way of thinking." Boss Lan nodded thoughtfully, "However, Shanhuo stores will process dry goods such as melon seeds and almonds by themselves, and directly bring the cooked products—that is, roasted seeds and nuts snacks to customers. For sale. And if you want to make 'healthy snacks', you must start from the unprocessed raw state of Shanhuo, and you cannot directly buy finished products from Shanhuo shops."

"Ha! Boss Lan, you don't need to worry too much." Ah Jin suddenly shook his head triumphantly, "Isn't it very simple to want fresh mountain products that have not been processed? Our brothers just go to the mountains Picking goods. If you really want it, next time after we pick the goods, we can directly take out some fresh ones for you, won’t it be enough?”

Boss Lan said leisurely: "This idea is very good. When I develop 'healthy snacks', I will ask Brother Ah Jin to buy some mountain products."

Ah Jin immediately beamed with joy when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Boss, whenever you want it, just tell me."

On the side, Ah Sheng secretly laughed a few times, and made a strange face at Si Dongmo and Qi Yan.Qi Yan watched it amusingly and couldn't help laughing.This group of people makes people feel very comfortable getting along with each other. They don't have any scruples or calculations. It's a pleasure to discuss together, which is very good.

Moreover, the words just now gave Qi Yan some ideas.In order to survive in this other world in the future, besides going into the mountains with Si Dongmo to collect goods, he also needs to find a safe way to settle down.

After all, in a strange world, the only person he can really rely on is himself, and Qi Yan must have the skills to survive independently.

After lunch in the restaurant, they bid farewell to Boss Lan.Before leaving, Boss Lan suddenly winked at Qi Yan, signaling him to come to the side.

"Boss Lan, what can I do for you?"

Qi Yan asked, and saw the boss take out a small cloth bag from behind, which was filled with something like light green round beads.

"Excuse me, is this...?"

"This is a panacea, take it carefully."

Qi Yan opened his eyes wide, "Boss, you..." The boss who had never met before gave him such a big package of elixir. Qi Yan was both surprised and grateful for such a favor.

"This is a necessary elixir for spiritual beast cultivation." Boss Lan smiled slightly, shaking his fan, "The time for a spiritual beast to transform into a human form is limited, and you will return to the original bird after a while." Form. Today is the first time you have transformed into a human form, and there will definitely be considerable side effects.

Remember, from tomorrow onwards, after you get up every morning, take a elixir with the morning dew to take good care of your body and mind.If this is the case, the time for you to transform into a human will gradually increase, and your power will become stronger and stronger, and even your "special ability" will be sublimated. "

Qi Yan looked at him in surprise. "Special ability"?Could it be that even Boss Lan knows that he has the ability to "copy" the skills of other beasts?

"Boss Lan...why do you know my affairs so well? Besides, why do you take care of me so much?" As soon as the words came out, he felt inappropriate, Qi Yan smiled shyly, and added, "Ah, I It means... we met by chance, and I feel sorry for receiving your kindness."

"It doesn't matter." Boss Lan shook his head lightly, "I have always liked to delve into the knowledge of medicinal herbs. I also learned the refining of this elixir from a pharmacist who transformed into a spirit beast."

After a pause, he exhaled slowly, and said with a light smile, "When I see you, I will think of him. He once told me that a spirit beast that has just transformed into a human form needs to take good care of itself and take the elixir on time, otherwise it may cause visceral pain." , feel uncomfortable all over, very uncomfortable."

Qi Yan was slightly startled. Boss Lan knew everything about spirit beasts like the back of his hand, and he really had some relationship with spirit beasts.At this moment, the big beauty's eyes were looking at the distant sky, the fan in her hand was shaking unhurriedly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing Si Dongmo waving at him not far away, Qi Yan took a deep breath and said, "Thank you...I'll go back first, Boss Lan, see you next time I have a chance."

After thinking about it, he added, "Does the boss want any mountain goods that I can help you bring? Next time I go to town, I can do a little favor." After all, Boss Lan took the initiative to give him a large amount of elixir, and Qi Yan I don't want to be favored by others in vain.

"Then I would like to trouble little Zhe Que to help you pay more attention to the mountain snacks. I was inspired by what you said today, and I am planning to think about the grass-flavored melon seeds."

Qi Yan grinned: "Okay, I'll remember." He followed the example of others and saluted Boss Lan, "Take care, Boss, I'll take my leave first."

When he was walking back with the other three, Ah Jin couldn't help but came to inquire: "Qi Yan, what treasure did Boss Lan give you?"

"It's all herbal medicine." Qi Yan took out a light green ball from the cloth bag, "The boss is kind-hearted, and specially brought it for me to maintain my body."

"Oh, I'm good-looking, but the treatment I get is different. Boss Lan only gave me candied fruit and other small snacks." Ah Jin showed envious eyes.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have some snacks? Be content, silly boy." Ah Sheng poked his forehead.Ah Jin yelled, and the two brothers ran away in the street, fighting.

Qi Yan put the cloth bag away again, and seeing Si Dongmo slowly approaching him, he scratched his hair, took a peek at the man, and met those dark eyes.Somehow, he was able to speak frankly with other people. Even facing the handsome Boss Lan, he was only a little nervous, but when he looked at Si Dongmo, he felt extra shy.

He knew that boys should be generous, but now it was surprisingly difficult for him to do this - in front of Si Dongmo.HH?

"Boss Lan gave you a kind of pill made from flowers in the mountains." Si Dongmo recognized the green pill in Qi Yanbu's bag, "I saw this kind of herbal medicine in a small medicine shop next to the town before. , now is the time to harvest it."

Qi Yan nodded, "Boss Lan is very nice."

"It's pretty good." Si Dongmo looked at him, hesitated, and said: "I feel, actually...you really want to stay in Fourteen Restaurant, right? Boss Lan is very nice, you If you stay, you can also learn how to cook and eat delicious food from him."

To be honest, Qi Yan was really moved by Boss Lan's invitation.However, he had an inexplicable nostalgia for Si Dongmo who had been with him for many days, and he didn't want to part with him suddenly.

He looked at Si Dongmo.The man is taller than him, and he needs to raise his head slightly and turn his face sideways to see his sharp silhouette.

The eyes of the two met briefly, and Si Dongmo's eyes averted a little. He seemed to be expecting the boy's answer, and he was a little uncontrollably nervous.

Seeing the man wanting to know the result but cautiously hesitating, Qi Yan suddenly plucked up his courage and asked the man, "You...are you willing to take me home?"

Si Dongmo was startled, and blurted out, "I, I am completely willing!"

Facing the boy's big black eyes, he couldn't help stammering again, "Just, just, this village is too simple, with a strong rural and rural flavor, maybe it's more comfortable to live in the town." After talking, he His voice was getting weaker and weaker, as if he lacked confidence, he carefully looked at the young man beside him.

Qi Yan smiled and said, "I think the village is pretty good. It's fun to go for a walk in the mountains if you have the chance."

"Uh... That's right," Si Dongmo scratched his hair, "You are a spirit beast from the mountains, so you should be able to adapt to the countryside and the wild."

Thinking of this, he was relieved again, showing two rows of white teeth, and smiled in the sun.

Qi Yan sneaked a glimpse of his side face, and suddenly felt that this meek and dull man was cute when he smiled, like a big obedient dog smiling at him gently in the sun.

His mood relaxed, and he was no longer as shy and nervous as before. He took the initiative to hold the man's sleeve and walked forward: "Look ahead, the Le family brothers are almost gone, let's hurry up and chase them!"

"Um... um!"

The man followed his footsteps, and two tall and thin figures ran towards the busy street in the distance.

In the afternoon they went to the market.There is a lot of traffic here, people come and go, men, women and children are talking and laughing on the street, and the shouts of the vendors are intertwined, making it very lively.

"Qi Yan, just tell me what you want to eat and buy." The man said to Qi Yan, while clumsily patted the bulging money bag on his back, "Little Spirit beast, you have been helping me before, and I haven't had a chance to thank you yet."

Qi Yan stuck out his tongue and made a grimace: "Then I won't be polite! Come on, let's go ahead and see what's delicious." Looking at his big black eyes, Si Dongmo secretly sighed Hear, Qi Yan is really a bird, his eyes are exactly the same as that of the clever Xiaotuanzi.

He suddenly thought that the time for Qi Yan to transform into form is limited, so he should change back to Xiaotuanzi in the future, right?Thinking of the fluffy little body walking back and forth in his palm, flicking the fiery red short tail feathers, he couldn't help laughing quietly, somewhat missing the soft touch.

The two passed by the vendors in the food street.Along the way, Qi Yan's arms were already filled with all kinds of things: jam cakes, grilled bananas, mutton skewers, candied haws... The delicious food was wrapped in layers of dark yellow thick paper, so that oil stains would Does not seep into hands.

The two brothers of Lejia also walked around the stalls. They were reluctant to spend money on too many things and only bought their favorite food. The bags on their arms contained meat buns to take home. , while holding steaming green vegetable rice balls in his hand.

Ah Jin shouted: "Hey, Brother Mo! You bought so many things!"

Si Dongmo said: "It's rare for my friend to come here once, so I want to buy more delicious treats for him." He helped Qi Yan bring things over, and he hugged all kinds of paper bags.

"That is, that is." Ah Jin rolled his eyes, "If I had such a beautiful friend, I would also wish to get him some more delicious food..." He said, taking out a rice ball and stuffing it into Qi Yan's paper bag, "Come, try one."

Qi Yan looked at the rice balls with distinct rice grains, the green color of vegetable leaves glowing in the pure white, his appetite was instantly whetted.

The young man thanked politely: "Thank you Brother Ajin. There are really many delicious things in Luoxia Town."

"That's right, the people here not only love to eat, but also love to cook. Beauty Qi will come to our place often to play in the future!"

Ah Jin sneaked a glance at the man as he spoke, leaned into Qi Yan's ear, and whispered to him, "Brother Mo has a dull temper and is not good at dealing with others. He always walks around alone, working alone. Land, living next to his house these years, I have rarely seen him interacting with anyone I know well. You are friends with him, and it would be great if you can visit him more in the future. "

Qi Yan replied with a smile: "Got it. I will live with him in the village when I go back this time. With me by my side, he shouldn't be lonely for the time being."
