"Punish evil and promote good, and build a harmonious society together." Chen Zhengyi said with dignity.

"What you said is quite official, but the problem is that the security in City B is not bad. Crimes are usually handled by the police. It feels like there is not much work left for the vigilantes..."

Chen Zhengyi shook his head, "In the final analysis, the law is just a set of rules. Even though it is patched every year, it can only solve part of the problem. There are still many problems in the world that the law cannot solve, and this is the meaning of my part-time job."

"for example?"

"For example, someone was owed two million yuan in payment. It turns out that the person being executed was driving a Rolls-Royce and wearing a luxury watch worth hundreds of thousands. However, when the court came to the door, it was found that he did not have any enforceable property. .

"And when this kind of law was powerless, it was my turn to step in. Finally, I went to find my ex-wife and daughter who had just divorced the person being executed, and politely asked them to pay back the money."

"Oh oh oh, then you are quite powerful."

"Fortunately, I am not a professional after all, I am just a part-time worker, and my ability level can only be said to be so-so." Chen Zhengyi said modestly.

"And you know, the existence of outsiders like us is very secretive, so I generally don't touch the hot events that attract more attention. Most of the time, I just deal with trivial matters around me."

"It's like those who are in trouble, especially those who are elderly. The police usually have a hard time dealing with them. I will take care of them if I see them. There are also minors who fight and are bullied. Teachers and schools can't take care of them, so they can come." Come to me, I have also handled some disputes with property owners, and, by the way, I have also been caught using counterfeit ingredients in restaurants.”

When Ma Lu heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.

"Oh, I'm not talking about you. Strictly speaking, the ingredients you use are not what everyone understands, but the quality alone far exceeds the level of this plane. It is a kind act. I mainly deal with it. It’s those profiteers who pass off inferior goods.” Chen Zhengyi said.

"Oh oh oh, that's good." Malu breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Lao Wang's first dish was ready, which was the mushroom stew on today's menu.

Malu took out a casserole from the kitchen and placed it in front of Chen Zhengyi. Then he opened the lid for him, and a fresh aroma suddenly hit his face.

This bowl of mushroom stew uses a total of nine kinds of mushrooms, most of which are only one- and two-star ingredients. It is stir-fried with green and red peppers and garlic cloves, which further brings out the aroma of the mushrooms.

As soon as the lid is opened, a breath of spring hits your face.

Chen Zhengyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt like he was plunging into a mushroom forest. Under the big trees, beside the rocks, and beside the creek, there were colorful and vigorously growing small mushrooms everywhere.

Chen Zhengyi could already imagine how delicious these mushrooms would be together, but when he picked up a mushroom with chopsticks and sucked it into his mouth, he was still surprised by the strong umami taste.

No, that’s not right. Although mushrooms themselves are famous for their umami taste, they are rich in a variety of free amino acids, which can trigger the taste receptors of eaters under the action of salt.

With so many mushrooms put together, the umami taste will be doubled, but it will not reach the current super doubling effect.

Chen Zhengyi did not continue eating in a hurry. Instead, he used chopsticks to rummage in the casserole, but found nothing.

Malu saw that he kept picking here and there, so he asked, "Are you looking for something?"

"It shouldn't be." Chen Zhengyi wondered, "Why are the mushrooms in your store more delicious than those in other places?"

"Uh, is it because we used activated plants?"

"Vitality, I do taste the vitality, but I can still distinguish between vitality and umami."

"Oh, that's probably because of the scorpion oil."

"Scorpion oil?" Chen Zhengyi raised his eyebrows.

"Well, Lao Wang used the scorpion meat to make tomato stewed scorpion meat, but the scorpion shells were not wasted. They were used to make scorpion oil instead of the usual oyster sauce."

"So that's it." Chen Zhengyi suddenly realized, and then said with emotion, "As expected of the chef of the universe, even the seasonings are so particular. If I remember correctly, these activated plants will have special effects when eaten."

"Yes." Malu nodded, "The special effect of this dish is laxative, which can improve your smoothness of squatting in the tub by 200% in the next three days."

"That's not bad. The first dish was so interesting that it made me even more curious about the next dishes."

It took Chen Zhengyi about seven minutes to eat just half of the mushroom stew, then he put down his chopsticks and licked the palm of his hand with his tongue.

Then he pushed it from bottom to top, and then from top to bottom, cleaning his chin, cheeks and ears three times in a circular motion to ensure that his hair was not messy, and then he raised his head again.

At this time, Malu also brought the second dish to the table.

"——This is a Midsummer Night's Dream. Please use it with caution."

The freshly cooked porcini fried rice is placed in a crescent shape on a white porcelain plate, with asparagus, amaranth and coriander placed on top, which together form a beautiful midsummer night spectacle.

In addition to rice and porcini mushrooms, the fried rice also contains corn kernels, diced carrots, pine nuts and ham, making this dish particularly bright in color.

Chen Zhengyi couldn't bear to use his chopsticks, but in the end he took a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

"Well, this tastes like blue-hole porcini mushrooms. It tastes like a unique nutty aroma."

Chen Zhengyi scooped up another spoonful as he spoke, "It has such a strong vitality, and its taste is thicker, tougher, crispy and smooth than other mushrooms..."

His mouth was still opening and closing, but the sounds were becoming more and more distant.

Chen Zhengyi seemed to have had a long dream. In the dream, he returned to his hometown again, and he still lived in a warm cave.

Mom, dad, and 17 brothers and sisters are also around...

Chen Zhengyi had not seen them for many years, and had even forgotten their looks. However, in that dream, their faces were clearer than ever.

The firewood in the fireplace was burning brightly, illuminating the entire cave. Chen Zhengyi's mother was knitting a sweater, and his father was reading the newspaper. Chen Zhengyi's eyes stayed on them, not even blinking.

He sat down next to them and played with the carrot puppets of his childhood until his father finished reading the newspaper, got up and went to the kitchen, cleaned the mushrooms he had just picked in the morning, and then made a pot of mushroom soup.

Calling the names of all the sons and daughters, everyone sat down at a long dining table and finished the simple but warm dinner.

Chen Zhengyi came back to his senses and found that he was not in the cave, but still sitting in the lobby of the Universe Infinite Canteen.

He had already finished half of the porcini fried rice in front of him.
