monster restaurant

Dear Mr. Ji:

Good day, I am Mr. Hei who often goes to restaurants to eat roast pork with eggplant.For some reason, I couldn't go to the restaurant, so I could only let my nephew go, but since he was still a cub, I could only use magic to help him disguise as an adult, because I was afraid that he would be in danger.

He has been clamoring to go to your restaurant to increase his knowledge. He heard that the restaurant held activities on Children's Day, so he wanted to ask him if he could participate.My nephew is [-] years old this year. Because of his blood, the prototype is still a little milk leopard. If it becomes a human, it will be about the size of a human being two or three years old.

Sorry for the long-winded, what kind of human network is too delicate, I haven't learned how to use it yet, so I can only write to you.I hope you can understand if it takes up your time.

Sincerely, Mr. Hei, who eats eggplant roast pork every time he goes to a restaurant.

**

The Mr. Hei who wrote the letter is a black panther living in the countryside. The standard of living of humans there is not very high. Correspondingly, the living standard of Mr. Hei as a monster is also very average.He is old and not young, he has just left the cub stage and entered the juvenile stage, he can move freely in the world, every time he leaves home, he must come to Li Qingming's restaurant to eat, especially like to eat eggplant roast pork.

However, Mr. Hei obviously does not have a high level of Chinese. He wrote Li Qingming's last name wrongly and wrote it as Ji.

The nephew of Mr. Hei on the opposite side looked at Li Qingming anxiously. He knew that every time his uncle Mr. Hei mentioned Boss Li, he always looked up in admiration.

Putting away the typos, there are still several letters replaced by pinyin, Li Qingming emphasized, "My surname is Li."

"Yes, Boss Li." Mr. Hei's nephew said nervously.

Looking at the monster sitting in front of him drinking soda, Li Qingming rubbed his eyebrows. Mr. Hei's spells are really powerful, and even he didn't see the cub's disguise.Since it is a cub, it is very likely that he does not know Chinese characters. Li Qingming took the menu and read out the names of a few dishes. Seeing the other party's bewildered expression, he couldn't help but decide for him: "I'll fry it for you first. Try a thousand-page tofu."

"Huh? Then Children's Day..."

"You can participate." Li Qingming waved his hand, put away the menu and poured him a glass of soda, and then went to the kitchen.Thousand-sheet tofu is also a signature dish in some small restaurants, because it will catch fire in the pot when it is fried, and the short flame will burn in the pot to add a smoky barbecue flavor to the thousand-sheet tofu, so that even if it is just fried with oil and salt , the taste is also very unique.

Cooking is a kind of enjoyment. Li Qingming likes the smell of food in the kitchen very much, as if this is the only way to prove that he is alive as a normal person, as if waiting outside is his family, not a monster cub.But it's nothing even if it's a monster cub. When he ate the first bite of food, he looked at Li Qingming with shining eyes, and there were two large characters written in it, 'delicious'!

"I like this dish." This monster cub should be carnivorous, but he came to the restaurant for the first time, and he was obviously very new to this kind of vegan dish. .

"I'll cook some other dishes for you." Li Qingming smiled and explained, "Customers who come to the store for the first time also have a discount, [-]% off."

There is only such a monster restaurant in this world that can receive monsters, and only Li Qingming has the ability to receive them, because he has a special status among human beings, and his body is too dark, and he is a bit half-human, half-ghost. He will be treated as a ghost directly.It's not easy to get along in human society, but stepping into the world of monsters can become a super powerful restaurant owner in their mouths, and even Li Qingming's status among them has been steadily rising.

Li Qingming himself couldn't explain the reason clearly, maybe it was fate.

Thousand-page tofu is just a small test, and the following dishes are the signature dishes of the restaurant, such as beef tenderloin with hot pepper, twice-cooked pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin and so on.The last dish is fried yellow crucian carp with eggs. The fish is spread in the pan one by one, poured evenly beaten egg liquid, fried on low heat until both sides are browned, and then put on a plate and out of the pan.Because of the egg liquid, all the fish became a whole, placed round on the plate, the appearance is not so good, but the aroma is tangy.

The first few dishes were very popular, and they were eaten very quickly. When he saw the last dish, the monster cub hesitated. He glanced at Li Qingming cautiously, with a tangled expression on his face.

This cub has never eaten fried fish at first glance, and the appearance of being afraid of fish and thorns has already betrayed this.Li Qingming felt a little funny, pointed to the fish on the plate and explained: "Don't worry about the fishy smell and fishbone, try it, I'm sure you will like it."

Yellow crucian carp has a fragrant taste and thin flesh, but it has many thorns and is relatively woody.Li Qingming soaked the fishbone in vinegar to soften the fishbone. When frying, the vinegar smell came out, and the fish meat and fishbone became extremely crispy. It tasted crunchy and very fragrant.

Seeing what Li Qingming said with certainty, the cub from the countryside dubiously picked up the fish and ate it, then his eyes lit up, and he ate it like a storm, and finally helped to lick the plate clean.All the dishes on the table at this time were like this. If you didn't know, you might think that Li Qingming didn't serve food at all.

When paying the bill after dinner, Li Qingming took the initiative to explain, "Just give me whatever you have, and I'll tell you if the value is right." Don't expect these monsters to come up with money common to humans, most of them have no money.However, Li Qingming's purpose of opening a restaurant is not to make money, as long as there is something to be gained. Most of the time, it is bartering, and he just needs to be pleasing to the eye.

Going obediently to the counter, the young monster fumbled in his trouser pocket, and took out two pebbles the size of a thumb, "I prepared this, do you see enough?"

"Just one." Li Qingming put away one cobblestone and gave the other back to the other party, explaining in a good mood, "Don't forget that it is your first time to come to the restaurant, there is a discount. Go back quickly, pay attention to safety on the road, don't follow Talk to people or monsters you don’t know.”

"understood."

Leopard print shirt, and leopard print trousers underneath. Although very fashionable, Li Qingming still finds it strange.Seeing the monster go out from the door and drifting away, he looked away and yawned, and went to the kitchen to prepare the second batch of dishes.

There are always some monsters with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder who come to eat fixed meals at fixed places every once in a while.Most of them put most of their energy into cultivation, and only come out to enjoy a small amount of time, and sometimes discuss spell skills and the like with each other while eating.

Everyone will not shy away from Li Qingming, because in their view, Li Qingming is one of their own.

After making a fixed meal and placing it in a fixed position, Li Qingming returned to the counter and sat down.The sound of the wind chimes changed again, and this time there were two people who came, and they went straight to the seats where the food was set and sat down, talking quietly while eating.

When they finished their meal and came to pay, Li Qingming took the opportunity to ask, "Is Mr. Feng coming today?"

"You have to wait a while. I passed by his house when I came. He seems to be still sleeping." After paying the payment, the visitor smiled at Li Qingming, turned and left.

Glancing at the door, Li Qingming quickly cleaned up the dishes, put them in the sink in the back kitchen, and returned to the counter.Taking out the soft pillow and lying on it, Li Qingming felt a little sleepy.Even if he slept twelve, fourteen, or even eighteen hours a day, Li Qingming would still be sleepy. It seemed that he was born unable to wake up, and he wished he could lie down and sleep forever.Fortunately, there is still a restaurant that needs to be operated, which makes him persist.

The cobblestone that Li Qingming placed casually in the corner of the counter quietly emitted a radiant light and a faint sobering fragrance.It was precisely because of this that Li Qingming did not fall asleep. He picked up the pebble and looked at it, but he still couldn't see what it was.

The world of monsters is completely different from that of humans. Even the world that humans think of has some mysteries that have not been explored, let alone monsters. The things they take out have more or less magical functions. Li Qingming has seen many of them. It's no wonder.At least so far, he has never received anything harmful to himself. Fate is so wonderful. His birth made him despair, but his later life was full of vitality.

It was late at night, except for the restaurant of Li Qingming's family, all the restaurants on this street were closed. Only the dim lights came from this side, attracting passing customers.

Dingling, Dingling, the sound of the wind chimes changed again. Li Qingming raised his head instantly, and saw a tall and strong man walking in. With a rare smile on his face, he said, "Mr. Feng."

"En." The person's face is very handsome, but his facial features are always unclear. He is wearing a black robe with low-key dark lines on it. If someone stares at those dark lines, they will definitely be sucked in. , as if going crazy.He sat down at the table closest to the counter, glanced at the menu and said, "A bowl of stewed noodles with shredded pork and tomatoes, no chopped green onions, another plate of cold dishes, and a glass of shochu."

The ingredients were prepared long ago. These are Li Qingming's specialty dishes. He prepared them in the shortest time possible. Finally, he poured a glass of shochu into the tray and served them out together.

Mr. Feng is still the same as when he came here, his movements have not changed at all, only when the food is on the table, he moves.As if he was a born nobleman, every movement was very elegant, even eating noodles that were easily splashed with soup, he didn't make a sound, and he even had time to take a look at Li Qingming.

Although he couldn't see the other person clearly, Li Qingming knew that he was looking at him. "Mr. Feng, I want to use the cloud and rain fan." Li Qingming felt his heart beating a little faster, but he knew that this feeling was not like liking the other party, but, just respect.

It only took a few minutes to finish the meal, and the glass of shochu was also finished. Mr. Feng raised his hand and ordered the dining table, and then said: "It's getting late, you should pack up and get a rest."

"Mr. Feng, go slowly." Li Qingming rarely said a few words.

Mr. Feng, who had already left the restaurant, did not speak. He moved his fingers lightly. The glass door, which was originally wide open, closed quietly, and the door lock automatically closed. Even the wind chime hanging on the door frame stood still for an instant. sound.The lights in the store were still on, and Li Qingming started to clean up the dishes. He was used to Mr. Feng's way. If the other monsters left last, they would help close the door.

As for whether it is time to close the door, they naturally have their own way of judging.Li Qingming used to be startled when he first came into contact with monsters, but he calmed down after a long time. Even if a monster came to help him make dishes with a cow on his back, he would not be surprised.

There is a hundred-yuan bill on the dining table, which is revenge given by Mr. Feng, and a small fan with the length of a finger, which is the sub-fan of Yunyu Fan.The real cloud and rain fan has the ability to call wind and rain, so naturally it cannot be easily borrowed, let alone lent to the Li family.When borrowing it for the first time, Li Qingming helped Mr. Feng come up with an idea. It is not necessary to borrow a real cloud and rain fan, but just borrow a little bit of the ability of the cloud and rain fan and attach it to the sub-fan.

The Yunyu fan is just an ordinary refining material, and it is not difficult to prepare.After the small fan with long fingers is empowered by the Yunyu Fan, it feels heavy to the touch, like a fine jade. After opening it, you will find that it is not difficult to fan the wind. You must pour enough spiritual energy to activate the Yunyu Fan to play its role.

Li Qingming threw the Yunyu fan on the counter, turned on the main power switch, and went back to sleep.

This night, I hope to be peaceful.
