Great Dao Ji

Chapter 391 The Cook in the Alley

The mighty sound waves flowed in all directions, and the waves on the swamp were surging. The beasts followed the waves and howled in fear.

That was the deep terror imprinted in the blood.

Even the beasts that had become monsters had no thought of struggling in the face of such a terrifying deterrent.

Boom!

Boom!

The mountains in the swamp shook.

The huge beast that had settled under the swamp struggled to get out of the trap.

When a country is about to perish, there must be monsters. What should we do when a world is about to perish?

On the way, An Qisheng kept thinking about this question in his heart.

In that glimpse, he saw a lot of things, which were much deeper than what he felt when he came in his dream.

This big world, like a star captured by a black hole, fell into the terror of impending destruction.

At such a great terror, he was not surprised by anything that happened.

"This world"

An Qisheng thought a thousand times in his heart, and turned into a sigh.

Then it disappeared into the wind.

The territory of Daqing is very vast, with 120 large states and 600 small states. The large states, such as Liangzhou, are more than 100,000 miles in radius, and the small states are also tens of thousands of miles.

With such a vast territory, its system is naturally different from that of the dynasties in Jiufujie.

The Daqing Dynasty implemented a feudal system similar to that of some tribal alliances in ancient Xuanxing, not a real unified dynasty.

Many of the large and small states are simply countries within countries.

There are many states that are even older than Daqing, but they only respect Daqing in name.

Zhangzhou is such a place.

Walking into Zhangzhou, it is only one state away from Danzhou, but the customs and people seem to have come to another country.

The writing is somewhat different from that of other states, and the accent is even more different.

Walking on the streets of Zhangzhou City, listening to the hawkers' cries and watching the pedestrians, An Qisheng's heart slowly calmed down.

Measuring the land, beheading demons, or exorcising monsters, he could never calm down.

The end of the world.

These four words represent billions of lives, those who deserve to die and those who don't, will all die on that day.

But at this moment, he figured it out.

No matter what kind of predicament this world is facing, it is not something he can intervene in at this moment.

Awooo~

On his shoulder, the yellow dog growled softly.

"Well, after walking for several months, it's time to eat something good to satisfy our stomachs."

An Qisheng nodded after listening to the yellow dog's urging.

He took a deep breath, and the fireworks in the city had already flowed through his mouth and nose. When he exhaled, he already knew which family in the city cooked the best food and which family had the most mellow wine.

At that moment, he walked slowly along the street.

After the Qi seed was achieved and the three flowers gathered at the top of the head, every cell of his body was filled with magnetic fields, absorbing the power of heaven and earth for use, and he almost didn't need grains.

However, food and sex are human nature, which is the greatest desire of human beings, and he didn't think of cutting off his appetite.

If there is nothing to eat, don't eat. If there is food to eat, naturally eat the best.

How can people live only for cultivation?

After walking through three long streets, passing by seventeen or eighteen taverns, and turning seven or eight times, he walked into a rather remote alley.

At the end of the alley, there was already a fragrance coming.

This alley is very remote, but there are many people. The alley is about ten feet wide and more than twenty feet long, and people are crowded.

It seems that they are all queuing.

"Master, there are too many people! Why not change to another one?"

The yellow dog sipped his saliva and suggested.

"There is nothing to do, and it's no big deal to wait a while."

An Qisheng smiled and didn't care.

"How did this Taoist know about this Fireworks Alley?"

Perhaps because he was bored waiting, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar in the queue in front of him started talking to An Qisheng.

"The fragrance spreads ten miles away, and I came here just by smelling it."

An Qisheng told the truth.

The scholar rolled his eyes and shook his head and said:

"The fragrance spreads ten miles away is an exaggeration, but the wine and food in Fireworks Alley are indeed unique in the world. Not to mention Zhangzhou, there are few restaurants in the whole Daqing that can compare with it. This is still too much, including Qingdu City and the Imperial Kitchen."

The scholar was quite talkative and talked a lot.

Although Fireworks Alley is inconspicuous, it has been an old store that has been opened for decades. It is also very famous among the wealthy families in Zhangzhou.

Even the city lord has come here to eat.

It's just that the owner is quite strange. He doesn't allow anyone to take the food away. You can only eat in the store. That's why he is not well-known.

Some people have paid attention to him before, but they were all dealt with silently.

"The city lord had wanted to recruit him, but was rejected."

As the scholar said this, the people in the queue in front of him sighed and dispersed.

"Well! Another wasted trip."

The scholar also shook his head, quite regretful: "I forgot to say just now, Taoist priest, you don't know that the owner of this fireworks alley cooks a few dishes every day depending on his mood. It seems that he is in a bad mood today. He stopped cooking before it got dark."

He shook his head, and the others sighed.

However, although they were quite regretful, no one made trouble, and they dispersed honestly.

If the owner of this store is not very powerful, then someone has suffered a loss.

"Brother Lu, don't rush to leave."

An Qisheng stopped the scholar.

During the conversation, he learned that this person was a failed scholar in Zhangzhou Prefecture, named Lu Wencai. He looked young but was actually in his fifties.

Beating ordinary people a hundred times is not a problem.

"Is there something wrong with the Taoist priest?"

Lu Wencai glanced at An Qisheng curiously.

Because of his personal experience, he naturally has a good impression of Taoist priests.

"Now that I'm here, I naturally want to have a few drinks before I leave."

An Qisheng smiled slightly.

"Does the Taoist priest recognize this shop owner?"

Lu Wencai was a little surprised.

In addition to practicing literature and martial arts, he loved the taste of food the most. After eating the food and wine in Fireworks Alley, he couldn't stop eating. Whenever he had free time, he would always come here to eat.

"If you don't recognize it, can't you eat?"

An Qisheng walked towards the alley.

Lu Wencai wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he didn't take action and followed him.

The owner of Fireworks Alley has a very bad temper and is very clever. He has had the hands and feet of anyone who had been forced before.

It's just that the Taoist priest in white doesn't look like an ordinary person, at least he shouldn't be a reckless person.

In this case, he naturally wanted to follow up and take a look.

Fireworks Alley, the store lives up to its name.

After walking into the store, there is also an alley.

The alley is very small, and can accommodate at most four or five tables of customers, but it cannot accommodate any more. At this time, there are no customers in the alley, and a somewhat rickety old man is clearing away the tables and chairs.

Hearing the footsteps, he said without raising his head:

"We have guests tonight. We will not accept outsiders. This guest should find another home!"

"Why should the shop owner turn away people? We have been waiting for a long time because we just want to have a taste of the shop owner's craftsmanship."

Lu Wencai bowed his hand:

"It's not dark yet. I'll leave after eating. I won't delay."

"I said I won't welcome you, I just won't welcome you!"

The old man still didn't look back. He arranged the tables and chairs, and his tone was already impatient:

"How dare you force me, cook? I'm in a bad mood. If I prepare a table of food, do you dare to eat it?"

Lu Wencai was suddenly speechless.

This host, after being driven into impatience, cooked a table of dishes, which caused diarrhea for half a month and almost caused death.

An Qisheng saw it interestingly, so he added:

"Why don't you dare?"

"Um?"

The old man suddenly raised his head, with a touch of surprise in his slightly cloudy eyes:

"you"

Until the sound came, he just thought someone had come in.

Who would have known that there were actually two people and a dog!

To him, this was simply unbelievable.

An Qisheng stepped into the tavern:

"how?"

The old man's appearance was quite unflattering, with a sharp mouth, thin cheeks, and a small mustache. He looked like a rat turned into a spirit. His eyes were dull and dull, and he couldn't be compared to a cook.

"Since the guest officer is not afraid, the old guy will certainly not be afraid either!"

The old man threw the rag for wiping the table over his shoulder and walked towards the kitchen.

"Shall we sit down?"

An Qisheng randomly found a table and sat down, then looked at Lu Wencai:

"Don't you dare?"

Lu Wencai was stunned for a moment, then laughed:

"The Taoist priest is not afraid, so Lu is certainly not afraid!"

With that said, he sat down next to An Qisheng.

Phew~

The yellow dog also jumped down and squatted on another chair, waiting quietly for the meal.

Lu Wencai was a little surprised. He didn't know what he thought of, and his attitude became more respectful:

"Taoist Priest, may I ask if you are a cultivator?"

"Who in the world is not a cultivator?"

An Qi gave him a pointed look:

"Eating is practice, practicing martial arts is practice, and every move is practice."

"Abrupt."

Lu Wencai shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he confirmed his thoughts.

He stopped asking and introduced An Qisheng again:

"The wine and food in this Fireworks Alley are quite good, but the ingredients are very ordinary. There are no delicacies and game. They are all ingredients that ordinary people eat."

"The ancients have long spread the best-tasting ingredients to the world, and wild game is as delicious as ordinary ingredients."

As he said that, An Qisheng looked at the old man who was bringing wine and food:

"Isn't this pig-killing dish much more delicious than stewed bats?"

The old man was walking by himself. When he heard the word "bat", his body suddenly stiffened. Although it was only for a moment, both the two people and the dog noticed it.

An Qisheng looked as usual, the yellow dog licked his paws and looked at the food plate eagerly. Lu Wencai frowned, wondering what he was thinking.

"Sir, your food and drinks."

The old man said slightly hoarsely, and placed the food and wine on the table.

Lu Wencai looked carefully. A layer of fine black hair had appeared on his palms. When he raised his head, he saw black hair growing on the old cook's face and body. The shadow behind him stretched like a pair of wings. Open.

Bat spirit!

Lu Wencai's heart was pounding, and he was about to stand up when he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders and sat down again.

He turned his head stiffly,

He saw a withered palm stretched out from the void and patted his shoulder.

Then, an old Taoist with white beard and hair emerged from the void little by little.

It's getting late. Let's go to bed early. Gouzi is going to code. Let's read it tomorrow.
