I, Seimei, can't be an audiophile

Chapter 158 Visiting an Old Friend

Thousands of years ago in ancient times, Oda Sakunosuke did not know that there was a so-called "fate" in his own destiny.

Inversion of cause and effect is the most common time trick that people related to Lord Seimei encounter. The future self is in the past, which determines the past of the future self. This logical relationship is quite complicated.

He's trying to finish his babysitting job: raising unicorns, and his master, who is also not a good cook.

He easily conquered the stomachs of both with a simple sukiyaki pot, which is a hot pot dish.

Li Qingming was shocked!He comes from a gourmet country, but he still doesn't know much about hot pot.

In the past, when he was in China, there were so many delicacies to choose from. Even if he ate hot pot, it was just for fun. He never knew that there was so much research on a hot pot!

"Most cooking is additive cooking, that is, adding flavor to the ingredients; hot pot is subtractive cooking, using the ingredients to bring out the umami of the ingredients after removing the fishy smell."

Oda Saku said lightly that it sounds like it should belong to the food special, "The picking time of the ingredients, the thickness of the slices, the order of putting them into the pot, and the matching of various dishes are all important to bring out the natural flavor. No matter how simple Cooking needs to be done carefully to do well.”

Due to his personality, Oda Sakunosuke was an assassin at the earliest time, and the work of an assassin needs to be meticulous and meticulous, paying attention to all kinds of details that are invisible to the naked eye.

This is similar to cooking. If you want to do one thing and do it well, and carefully study the various variables in it, it is an important factor for him to improve his cooking skills to everyone's level in a very short period of time.

Li Qingming was easily conquered by him!He has been to ancient times so many times, mostly eating local dishes and grilled fish, but he never thought of eating hot pot!

Home-cooked dishes such as hot pot are obviously not on the menu of ordinary Heianjing nobles, so he naturally left them out.

His impression of Oda Tsukuru, which had been lowered by Dazai, instantly returned to its original position and even increased.

It is true that the human stomach is the second brain of the human being. The stomach will do part of the thinking for your brain.

The other one who almost swallowed his own tongue and was completely captured was the Unicorn Fairy boy.

He ate it in a daze, didn't even bother to talk in the middle, and showed a happy expression after eating, which was amazing.

Presumably, what he eats is not as good as the nobles in Heianjing. They don't know how to abuse their mouths. Now that they finally eat delicious food in the world, it may change the meaning of life!

As a result, when Li Qingming asked his name, address and who his parents were, the other party bit him to death and insisted on following Oda!

It's just like in summer, if you smear sugar water on the tree trunk, you will quickly attract many unicorns. It's quite easy to catch them, and you can't drive them away!

"Well... what should I do? I just wanted to find out who adopted him."

A monster raising humans as monsters may be unintentional or intentional. Considering the child's appearance is too easy to be regarded as a monster, most of them are not intentional.

It was impossible for Li Qingming to adopt this child, and ordinary humans certainly could not adopt such a child.

So Li Qingming originally wanted to meet the other party's guardian, no matter who the guardian was, both parties needed to communicate.Letting a human child live in the way of a monster is still somewhat inappropriate after all.

I never expected that because of a hot pot meal, it would turn into a completely unexpected situation.

What should I do if the unicorn fairy is addicted to hot pot and cannot extricate himself?Being relied on by the other party, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?His original intention was not to adopt such a child!

"Or, I will teach him how to make hot pot, and other simple dishes?" Oda suggested, "The ingredients for hot pot are simple, and he can get them himself. As long as he can get food and cooking methods, he will always have a way to live independently .”

The unicorn boy said decisively, "Teach me!"

It seems that the attraction of delicious food is so great that the other party can completely ignore the identity of suspicious people like them.

It's so easy to be fooled!It's really worrying!

Li Qingming couldn't help but sigh with emotion, children are indeed easy to be fooled, no wonder they have lived with the self-cognition of monsters until now.

"Since he wants to learn, you can teach it. Other knowledge is the same..." Li Qingming suggested to Oda, "at least make him not easy to be deceived, so that he can make some preliminary self-judgment. Writing and arithmetic , and teach him some, as long as he learns to write, he will have the opportunity to read and learn by himself in the future."

Books are rare in this era, and there are very few people who can read. Li Qingming's decision may be completely unnecessary for an orphan, especially an orphan with abnormal appearance.

But he believes that knowledge can change destiny, even if he only learns to write, it will definitely have a major change in the future of children.

Oda was a little embarrassed: "Let me teach him how to cook, but the others..."

Li Qingming comforted: "Just try your best, and it's not for you to teach him to be a talent. All he needs is to master writing and basic life skills."

Odasaku looked at the boy again, as if asking for his opinion.The boy nodded quickly, and Odasaku agreed.

From this detail, Li Qingming discovered the character traits of the two parties. Odasaku is a person who observes carefully and knows how to respect others. Even if the other party is a child, he did not use reasons such as "for your own good" to force the other party to learn, but treat the other party as a child. Adults wait for the other person to make a choice before agreeing.

As for the unicorn boy, he has already realized the importance of knowledge at a young age. Only those who have longed for words and knowledge will accept it without hesitation when others propose it. It can be seen that he is very smart and longs for knowledge on weekdays. There is no way to get it, and I can't wait to seize this opportunity now.

"Then when I go to Liu, either you stay with him—"

Odasaku immediately denied Li Qingming's proposal.

"This is not good, Master Qingming, we don't know anything about his origin, if you are not by his side, in case of special circumstances, I alone cannot deal with it."

Li Qingming thought about it for a while, even if the boy is not lethal in nature, he still has to consider whether there are other forces behind him.

It would be too stupid for someone to steal your house while he was not around.Most of the onmyojis have the ability to protect themselves, but Mr. Yuan Boya is just an ordinary person, and occasionally visits Mr. Qingming. For everyone's safety, he can't let the unknown child out of his sight.

"Okay, then let's go together and treat it as an outing."

Li Qingming finalized the itinerary for the three of them.

Kuju Tsuliu moved to another nearby city, which can be reached on foot in a day, and the ox cart is much slower. Of course, the Didi car will definitely be faster.

It’s just that it’s not worth calling a hazy car. If it’s a longer distance, Li Qingming will definitely call it a hazy car without hesitation, but such a short distance makes it unnecessary to take a high-profile trip in a monster car.

Odasaku hesitated, but finally agreed.He also thought that the speed of bullock carts in this era is really painful, especially since the car has no anti-shock measures. It may take three to five days to ride a bullock cart for a day's walking distance, giving you an extreme journey of motion sickness.

Although the ox cart is quite stylish and a status symbol, the price paid for it is still a bit high for modern people who are not used to riding an ox cart.

"Hello! Long time no see!"

Jiu Gu Jinliu was overjoyed to see Li Qingming, happily put down his work and stood up to meet him.

Li Qingming was also deeply moved. Liu was completely different from the shy and introverted impression he had given him in the past. Is it because he was in charge of the branch in the new city?It looks cheerful and outgoing, and the working environment will also shape a person's external character.

"Long time no see, Liu, how are you doing? How is the business here?"

Liu shyly smiled and said, "I'm fine. Now I'm mainly in charge of carving Buddhist utensils and statues. The other small things are sold on behalf of my father and other craftsmen."

Under Liu's introduction, Li Qingming learned that Liu is no longer obsessed with being a ghost as before, but is more focused on "blessing Buddha statues" and "doll substitutes".I don't know what Liu has experienced, but he seems to be in awe of the ghost technique and no longer uses it casually.

"I was too naive before, and I underestimated the techniques you taught me too much."

Kugu Tsuru raised his hand, revealing the old wound on his right hand, the little finger that was bitten off by some ferocious beast was only half left.

"The soulless 'original' created with an empty heart is an evil ghost that can devour its master in turn."

Seeing Li Qingming's expression, Jiu Ju Jinliu hurriedly said, "It's okay, I don't do that kind of ghost anymore, and that dangerous ghost has long been sealed at the bottom of the lake. My father arranged for me to open a shop here, so I fled here .Since then I've only done sculptures with protective meaning."

Jiu Gu Jinliu didn't elaborate, but Li Qingming could imagine what happened.I'm afraid it's the same as keeping dogs. There are dogs with good personalities, but there are also dogs that are vicious and hurt people.

It can give life to the carved things, let Ruu forget the danger of such a strange ability, and accidentally create a Shiki ghost with strong attack power and hostility to humans.The end result is good and streams have learned their lesson.

This made Li Qingming think of shikigami. Master Qingming has a wide variety of shikigami, and many of them have not signed a contract with Master Qingming. Now that I think about it, Lord Baoxian is probably worried about something like this.

Li Qingming chatted with Jiu Gujinliu for a while, and after the exchange, he agreed to bid farewell to him after the gold-winged and other sculptured ghosts were repaired and adjusted next time.

Liu didn't mention the difference between him and Seimei-sama, so he probably didn't notice it either.

Li Qingming didn't mention it again, he didn't know that convection might be a good thing, Liu had already developed a sense of awe for Yin Yang, so it was better not to increase his pressure.

After finishing the official business, Li Qingming saw that there was still a lot of time, so he decided to take the unicorn boy and Oda Zuo to go shopping for some replacement clothes for the child. It seemed that they would spend some time together until they found the child's parents.

"Ha, is there something wrong with your brain?" The unicorn boy curled his lips, "When I go to the street, humans will only scream in fright!"

"It's okay, I'm an onmyoji, they will only think you are my shikigami."

Li Qingming explained that although it is a bit insulting, it is the same as the difference between a dog wearing a collar and a leash, and leaving it in the wild.

In the era of rampant demons, Onmyoji's deterrent power among the people is quite amazing, and nothing they do is considered OOC.

"I really need to choose a set of clothes." Oda Saku naturally took the child's hand and said, "The clothes he is wearing now have torn holes in the middle of the arms, and the wind will flow from the side. I want to change into women's furisodes It may be more convenient and warmer."

Speaking of this, Li Qingming didn't feel sleepy: "I'm here to help you choose. I have some research on women's clothing. When it comes to cosplay, I'm very professional!"
