Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Zhou Yuan stood in the queue, looking at Hanshi's store entrance in ecstasy.

As time went by, the empire gradually let down its vigilance against cold food.

There are various signs that Hanshi really came to Mingdu to do business.

Although it is very unreasonable, Zhou Yuan really can't think of other possibilities.

What really convinced him of this was Han Shi's meal competition.

Afterwards, he sent someone to specifically ask Mr. Zhang, who was in contact with Qi Han, and learned everything that happened after Qi Han came to the Catering Association. He confirmed that Qi Han was really running the cold food business attentively, and even took the initiative to launch a meal competition with Tianxingzhai in order to attract popularity.

chase.

If you are using cold food as a cover to do other things secretly, it is simply impossible.

But the question arises again, Han Shi has traveled thousands of miles to come to the Sun and Moon Continent, what exactly does he want to do?

make money?

According to the Third Prince's information, this Hanshi restaurant should already be very popular in Douluo Continent, so there is no need to come here to make money.

Poison?

That's not possible. Zhou Yuan was worried about this at the beginning, but as time went by, the diners who ate at Hanshi not only did not feel any physical discomfort, but were over-nourished...

If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it.

For Zhou Yuan, as long as Han Shi was sure that there was no place where he could threaten the Sun and Moon Empire's deployment, everything else didn't matter.

The dishes at Hanshi are so delicious that dining at Hanshi becomes a relaxing time every day.

It would be great if Hanshi could always be opened in Mingdu.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but think.

In this case, I can eat Hanshi dishes every day, and I don't have to worry about Qi Han returning to Douluo Continent to report the news.

Huh?

Soon, the door of Hanshi opened a gap, and Meng Yun came out holding a wooden sign with a shelf, attracting the attention of all the diners queuing outside the door.

As the wooden sign was set up and the clear writing on it was seen by everyone, the team in front of Hanshi Gate suddenly fell into silence.

After a few seconds, the silence turned into an uproar.

Zhou Yuan's expression changed instantly.

Hanshi is the last day of business tomorrow? Will it be closed after that?

What's the meaning?

His vigilance, which had been relaxed for a long time, was suddenly raised again.

There are still three months left before Douluo Continent discovers the Sun and Moon Continent.

Hanshi is going to close its doors and leave at this time?

No! We can’t let him return to Douluo Continent!

Tomorrow morning at court, this matter must be reported to His Majesty and a targeted plan must be discussed.

If there is really no other way...

Zhou Yuan's eyes became a little colder.

Then Qi Han can only stay in Sun and Moon forever.

…

Ye Ansheng silently looked at Wu Henian, who was in a daze beside him, with a strange expression on his face, "Hanshi... is going to close?"

"Yeah..." Wu Henian couldn't laugh or cry, "I don't even know whether I should be happy or unhappy."

As the competition for food passed, the popularity of Mingting Que plummeted, and Tianxingzhai, which was as famous as Mingting Que, was naturally affected to some extent.

Hanshi only has so many guests, so other diners who can't wait in line will have to go to other restaurants to dine.

Originally they would choose Tianxingzhai or Mingtingque.

But now these diners are more inclined to choose Tian Xing Zhai.

If Hanshi closes its doors now, it is conceivable that Tianxingzhai will soon become the best restaurant in Mingdu, surpassing Mingting Que, which has been slightly declining.

From this perspective, Wu Henian should be happy.

But when he thought that he would no longer be able to taste cold food dishes, he became a little unhappy.

During this period of time, he benefited a lot from tasting cold food dishes. Many of the dishes gave him a lot of inspiration, which also opened his mind recently and led him to develop several new dishes.

"Brother He Nian, why do you think Hanshi is closing?" Ye Ansheng pinched his chin and looked confused, "The Hanshi business is getting better and better. Logically speaking, shouldn't we take the opportunity to get bigger and stronger?"

"I don't know." Wu Henian shook his head, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes, "Maybe... Boss Xiao Qi's original purpose was not to make money?"

He couldn't help but think of the sporadic memories he had of his great-grandfather.

My great-grandfather was also such a person. He only focused on researching new dishes and didn't care whether Tianxing Zhai could make money.

Perhaps this is the state of a genius who is obsessed with cooking.

…

Tonight's business operation is harder than usual for Meng Yun.

Almost every diner who entered the store shouted for Qi Han to continue operating.

But thinking of the dangers that the boss might face if he continued to stay in Mingdu, Meng Yun naturally couldn't follow the diners and could only explain the reason politely.

After finally staying up until the end of the business hours, Meng Yun breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, a gray-haired old man walked into the store, making her eyes light up slightly, "Grandpa De, you are here."

This old man surnamed De left a deep impression on Meng Yun. Every time he entered the store just in time for the last batch, he finished his meal slowly just before the end of the business hours, and then chatted with the boss and himself.

He has a lot of knowledge, his conversation is humorous, and he feels very approachable.

"Yes." De Hongchen nodded, then frowned slightly, "Xiao Meng Yun, Hanshi is the last day of business tomorrow, will it be closed later?"

"Yes." Meng Yun felt a little embarrassed. Grandpa De comes to Hanshi for two meals a day. He obviously likes Hanshi's dishes. He probably won't be able to eat them in the future. "The boss has other things to do and will probably leave Mingdu."

There was not much surprise on De Hongchen's face, but he was slightly annoyed. He sighed softly, "It would have been a few days later."

"Ah?" Meng Yun blinked, "Why a few days later?"

"Nothing." De Hongchen shook his head slightly, then showed a warm smile, "Tonight I would like a side of dragon beard noodles and a side of crab-stuffed orange."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

…

The dinner service ended soon. Qi Han walked out of the kitchen and smiled slightly when he saw De Hongchen slowly taking the last mouthful of noodle soup.

This kind old man left a deep impression on him. His gentle elder style was somewhat similar to that of Qi Lixiao and Tang Qianqiu. However, unlike the two invincible Ultimate Douluo, this Grandpa De was just a man from the nearby block.

A retired wealthy man.

Seeing Qi Han coming out, De Hongchen put the dishes on the table and waved to him, "Xiao Qi, come and sit down, let's chat."

"Okay." Qi Han smiled slightly and sat down in front of De Hongchen.

He had a good impression of the old man in front of him, and now that he was about to leave Mingdu, he felt a little reluctant to leave.

"Are you really going to leave Mingdu?" Looking at Qi Han, De Hongchen said with a hint of meaning, "Now that the battle between princes in Mingdu has reached a fever pitch, the situation is a little tense. It is not necessarily safe to leave at this time.

.”

Qi Han also heard a little bit about what De Hongchen said.

Nowadays, the two most qualified princes in the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire to compete for the throne are the eldest prince and the third prince, and the overt and covert struggle between the two has now entered a fierce stage, so much so that the situation in the entire Mingdu has become somewhat tense.

But this had nothing to do with him. Qi Han was even a little lucky. Maybe it was because of the fight between the two princes that Han Shi could live in peace for a month without being discovered by the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire.

So when he heard this, he just smiled and said, "I can't help it. My home is too far away from Mingdu. Coming to Mingdu to open a store is a way to prove myself. Now that I have achieved my goal, it's time to go back."

"Oh?" De Hongchen's eyes flashed slightly, "Are you proving yourself...very good."

Then he smiled slightly and said, "I still remember that when I was young, I also liked to travel across the mainland like you. I was still a soul engineer at that time, but later I was injured secretly and my strength was not as good as before. I had no choice but to engage in business and provide for my retirement."

"Huh?" This was the first time Qi Han heard De Hongchen talk about his affairs, and he was slightly surprised at this moment.

Hidden injury…

His heart moved slightly.

I wonder if Qinggong Wanfu Meat can be cured?

It should be possible. Senior Qi Poxiao's hidden wounds can be healed. How can an ordinary old man not be able to?

Just when I thought of this, De Hongchen, who was opposite me, suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao Qi, do you have a partner?"

"Huh?" Qi Han was startled by the other party's sudden change of topic. Looking at the other party's eyes as if an elder cared about a younger one, he was a little confused.

This feeling is like visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, and the relatives ask you if you have a partner...

Meng Yun, who was pretending to clear the seats, also paused with his hands and looked at Qi Han with gossipy eyes.

"Ahem." He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment. Qi Han felt his face getting a little hot, "Grandpa De, I don't have a partner yet."

"Oh?" De Hongchen had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little more searching, "What about the person you like?"

"The person I like..." Qi Han paused for a moment before a beautiful image suddenly appeared in his mind.

It has been more than a month since I came to Sun Moon Continent and I haven't seen her.

"It seems that we have it." Noticing the change in Qi Han's face, De Hongchen smiled, "No wonder you are leaving Mingdu in such a hurry, maybe to see her?"

"Well... that's right." Qi Han nodded.

The reason why I have been eager to complete the mission and return to Douluo Continent is because the Sun Moon Continent is an unfamiliar place, giving Qi Han a feeling that it is difficult to integrate, but why is it because of her?

"Boss, boss, what kind of girl do you like?" Meng Yun's eyes were full of curiosity, and he simply sat next to Qi Han and asked curiously.

"She." Qi Han had a look of reminiscence on his face, and then smiled slightly, "She is one of my diners, one year younger than me, she is polite to everyone, and she seems to be sensible and considerate.

, but she is a very greedy girl at heart."

"She is much better than me, and for some other reasons... so I never told her directly that I liked her. I just used various excuses to serve the dishes to her personally every time she came..." Qi Han

He touched Gulu, who had already come over, and smiled dumbly, "She also likes Gulu very much, so I take Gulu with me every time I serve food, so that I can chat more with her."

"Better than the boss?" Meng Yun's eyes widened. She knew that in addition to his unparalleled cooking skills, Qi Han also had a fifth-level cultivation level and was even stronger than the average fifth-level soul master.

Isn’t Wu Huan, who is in his twenties, not good enough?

"At least now, she is much better than me." Qi Han smiled slightly, but his eyes were not too depressed.

It has been exactly one year since he traveled back in time, but he has already gone from the initial soul power level of zero to now about to become the sixth-ring soul emperor. This cultivation speed is not to mention genius, even if he is cheating, he would not dare to do it like this.

Although Yu Lianxin's cultivation speed is also very fast, under the condition of regularly eating various cold food dishes, he has broken through from the cultivation level of just reaching the eighth ring to the eighty-sixth level in one year. In another year or two, he may be able to

He achieved Titled Douluo, but it was still much slower than Qi Han.

Therefore, Qi Han is confident that he will surpass him in cultivation in the future.

Having known Yu Lianxin for so long, Qi Han didn't just take the initiative to serve him a dish every time. He had secretly asked Fu Ya for help and found out Yu Lianxin's criteria for choosing a mate.

Yu Lianxin had publicly said it a long time ago when she was pursued by many male students from the inner courtyard at the Poseidon Fate Conference. This is not difficult to find out.

Her criteria for choosing a mate are only two points.

First, he must surpass her in strength; second, he must have good cooking skills.

These two points have stumped countless suitors with pity.

In the Shrek Academy where geniuses gather, Yu Lianxin is also the most genius among the geniuses.

Twin martial souls, born with full soul power, can break through the eighth ring before the age of twenty-five.

According to this trend, Yu Lianxin will definitely be able to become a titled Douluo before the age of thirty. Such talent is enough to put others beyond her reach. How easy is it for people of the same age to surpass her in strength?

And good cooking skills...this also requires a lot of practice and study, and cannot be achieved overnight.

So here’s the question, if you want to keep up with your soul power cultivation, where will you find the time to study cooking?

And just as it happened, Qi Han had already satisfied one of them.

According to the speed at which the soul power level is improved by completing system tasks, another point is that he has a promising future.

He had already planned to pursue Yu Lianxin openly and openly when his own cultivation level surpassed that of the other party!

"Boss, I can definitely do it!" Meng Yun nodded heavily, full of confidence in Qi Han.

De Hongchen smiled and nodded, then stood up and said, "In that case, I'm relieved."

"Ah?" Qi Han blinked, "Grandpa De, what are you worried about?"

"It's nothing, you will know later." De Hongchen walked to the door of Hanshi, turned around and smiled mysteriously.

Qi Han scratched his head and said, "Grandpa De, please wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?"

"Will you still come over at dinner time tomorrow?"

"Of course I will." De Hongchen paused and chuckled, "This is your last business. If I miss this meal, I don't know when I will be able to taste your cooking. Of course I can't miss it."

"Then..." There was a little hesitation on Qi Han's face, which soon turned into determination.

It’s the last day anyway, so I’ll run away after just one wave.

Scared of shit!

"Grandpa De, can you come over at the end of dinner tomorrow? I have a special dish that I want you to try."

"Oh?" De Hongchen looked a little surprised, "Not the ones on the menu?"

"no."

"Okay." De Hongchen smiled and said, "As courtesy, I will bring you some local specialties from Mingdu so you can take them home."

With that said, he waved his hand and left Hanshi.

Watching De Hongchen leave, Qi Han smiled slightly and said, "Meng Yun."

"ah?"

"After dinner is open tomorrow, I will also have a special dish ready for you to try."

After being asked to work in vain for twenty days, Qi Han felt that he needed to express his gratitude.
