I have a Yokai cookbook [Gourmet]

Even so, on the second day, he resigned to his fate and packed his things, took all his belongings, and rode into the city on the village ox cart.

It is obviously impossible to complete the task of opening a big restaurant that is making money every day in a county town.

There are few rich people, and it is difficult to gain popularity.

After Chi Ming inspected the county for a day, he simply went directly to Fucheng.

After exchanging the large bag of gold bars for silver notes, he went to the dentist to ask if there was a suitable shop to sell them.

Yaren is a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s, with two mustaches and a striking mole on his face.

"There are three shops with good locations on the street, one will be sold next month, the second one is a bit expensive for rent, and the last one..."

When Yaren said this, he hesitated a little. The person in front of him was dressed in general, but his demeanor did not look like a poor person.

Their line of business is the most poisonous.I also deeply understand the truth that people should not be judged by their appearance.

This is also the reason why he is relatively open.

"What happened to the last family?"

The first house will not be rented out until next month, so that will definitely not work.If the price of the second one is too high, he will not be able to use it in other aspects.

Now that I think about it, if it wasn't for that person's generous spending, the first thing he would worry about would be that he doesn't have money to open a shop.

But the strange thing is that that person never came again.

He now hopes that he can come to sit occasionally. It would be even better if there are a few diners like him who spend money like water and spend a lot of money.

The dental man seemed very interested in seeing the other party, rolled his eyes, and explained vividly:

"Speaking of which, that one happened to be a ready-made restaurant, and it has been vacant for three years. That's right, the place is haunted."

The dental man swallowed unconsciously, and continued to lower his voice:

"That place is very evil! When the owner and his family were discovered three years ago, they all died in the restaurant. The death conditions were terrible, and all of them were skinned. I heard that some of them were almost mentally ill. The policemen peed their pants in fright on the spot, and one of them became sick from fright. After that, everyone who took over this restaurant became insane, either died or went crazy, and all of them didn’t end well.”

"The eminent monks and Taoist priests who practiced it didn't know how many times they came, but it didn't work. Once it was dark, there would always be intermittent crying of women and children, which scared the people nearby to move away. Hey, good one Fengshui treasure land, what a crime!"

"Well, how much is the price?" There is nothing to be afraid of being haunted, there are two old ghosts in their family who are old and have some skills.

The tooth man was still babbling, but was suddenly interrupted, he couldn't help being stunned, a little unbelievable, he said so euphemistically, the man in front of him actually asked the price.

To be honest, the young man in front of him has red lips and white teeth, and is very handsome. It would be a pity if he was also harmed by the ghost in the haunted building.

"It only costs 1000 taels of silver. Originally, a shop like this would have cost at least 1 taels." The Yaren didn't lie. A good location is indeed worth the price, and there are even a few prosperous locations where the price has doubled several times.

"Okay, I want that restaurant." Chi Ming felt like he had found a great deal, and he readily took out a thousand taels of silver bill and handed it to Yaren, and paid another ten taels of silver as a commission.

Yaren happily took the money, and within an hour went to the Yamen to transfer the restaurant to Chi Ming's name.

Chi Ming was not in a hurry to see that restaurant, but ordered a table of signature dishes in the best restaurant.

After eating and drinking, I walked slowly to the restaurant.

When passers-by heard that he was going to that ghost house at night, their expressions changed instantly, and they kept persuading him not to be reckless, lest he risk his life.

Chi Ming thanked the passers-by, shook his head with a smile, and continued walking.

After wandering around for a long time, Chi Ming found the legendary restaurant at the corner of the street.

From a distance, the restaurant looks like a huge monster, hidden in the night.It was pitch black here, and even the noise seemed to be far away. Compared with the bustle and bustle of Dongxi Street, it seemed like an extreme existence.

Chi Ming looked up at the three-story building, secretly praised it.

If you can buy such a restaurant for 1000 taels, it can be said to be a bloody profit.

On the plaque with red background and gold, there are three big characters of Cyclamen, but the door is sealed with a big red X official seal, and the white paper lanterns on both sides are also shaking in the wind, making a rattling sound.

Next to the restaurant, there is a towering big pagoda tree.

Under the cold moonlight, the mottled shade of the trees swayed, looking extraordinarily coquettish and treacherous.

Holding the lantern, Chi Ming took a deep breath, and pushed open the heavy door, as if in response to him, there was a sudden loud bang from somewhere.

A musty smell of sawdust mixed with dust came oncoming, and the temperature seemed to be slowly dropping.

Chi Ming shrugged, and continued to walk in firmly, but looked around.

Every door and window is covered with ghostly talisman-like talisman paper, wherever it goes, there is no wind, rustling.

Chi Ming squeezed the lantern in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then walked in again.

The tables and chairs inside seem to be usable, but they need to be cleaned well. In the reception lobby in the middle, you can ask a carpenter to order a round transfer table.

The space is bigger than he imagined.

As Chi Ming walked and commented, he became more and more satisfied.

In a corner he didn't know, several eyes were locked on him tightly.

With a sound of "啪~", a ceramic jar was swept by something, fell to the ground, and instantly shattered into pieces.

"Where is who?" Chi Ming raised the lantern to look, and found a barefooted little girl standing there in a daze like a child who did something wrong.

How can there be children here?

Is it the little beggar who sneaked in?

Seeing the little girl hugging her knees and shrinking in the corner in fear, Chi Ming couldn't bear it.

In order not to scare the little girl opposite, Chi Ming took out the candy in his pocket, and said as gently as possible: "Please eat candy, it's very sweet."

The little girl looked at Chi Ming's hand suspiciously, and made a sniffing motion like a small animal. When Chi Ming thought she would not want it, she pulled away the hand in Chi Ming's hand like lightning. candy.

The palm of the hand was itchy, as if it had been scratched by some fluffy creature, Chi Ming looked at the empty hand, and silently took it back.

It may be that his nerves were too tense and he had hallucinations. Chi Ming quickly denied his thoughts that had just passed away.

Like a weak creature hiding in the dark, the little girl peeled off the sugar coating and stuffed a pink transparent candy into her mouth. The next moment, her peach blossom eyes narrowed happily.

Chi Ming searched around before finding an oil lamp with a half-burned wick. After lighting the lamp, he turned around and said to the little girl behind him: "I am the new owner of this restaurant. If you are homeless , I will temporarily fall asleep in the house tonight."

It's cold outside, so he can't do anything to drive people away.

What's more, it's still a little girl this tiny.

It's a pity that there is no quilt here. In such a cold day, even the indoor temperature is very low. I don't know how the poor child can survive.

The little girl didn't speak, her mouth was stuffed like a little hamster, and she secretly looked at him with her eyes.

Seeing him carrying the lamp and continuing to walk towards the second floor, Taohua's eyes widened suddenly, and he stopped nervously and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, don't go upstairs, it's dangerous there."

Chi Ming's foot on the stairs stopped.

very dangerous?

It was because of the danger that he deliberately waited until dark.

The damn cheating recipes allowed him to collect twelve different monsters in half a year, and now there are less than four months left, and they are all dead left and right, so he can only bite the bullet.

Chi Ming hesitated for a few seconds, then continued to walk upstairs.

Given a choice, who wouldn't want to live comfortably.But does he have a choice?

If he didn't want to die, he had to make great strides forward.

There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and he is that arrow now.

The paper lantern moved in the absence of wind, began to sway, and went out in the next moment.

There was no expected scream of shock.

Chi Ming just rolled his eyelids, and calmly took out a flint from his arms to light the fire.

When the lantern was lit up again, a hideous grimace appeared in front of his eyes.

"Let's go, you're blocking me."

Chi Ming, as a veteran horror film lover, plus a haunted house terminator, still has a bit of dislike for this grimace, it's quite ordinary, not even half of Sadako's.

The immobile eyes of the evil ghost behind him turned mechanically, and the rotting head also rotated in an incredible 360 ​​degrees, making the sound of bones shifting, and in the next second, a sinister ghostly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth , slammed into Chi Ming's body viciously.

This body is young and full of vigor, and the skin is more beautiful than ordinary people, which can just be his new face.

In the eyes of the evil ghost, there was pride in the inevitable, and in his mind he had already imagined the pitiful expression of the other party begging for mercy in horror.

"what--"

A tragic ghost cry scattered in the air.

Chi Ming turned around and saw the evil ghost that had turned into a puddle of foul-smelling black water.

No, it should be said to be a piece of tattered human skin limp on the floor, pale and bloodless.

What's the matter, he didn't do anything, did this evil spirit kill himself?

Chi Ming was just talking about playing, and saw a dozen tall, short, fat, thin, skinless, translucent figures with blurred facial features behind him.

There are people of all ages, young and old, but their faces are already indistinguishable.

It looked like a dead body soaked in formalin in the second basement of the medical school, swollen and uneven.

Chi Ming: "..."

Emotional He really took over a large haunted house.

As soon as one left, another group came.

Before he could finish laughing at himself, the dozen or so ghosts knelt down spontaneously and bowed to him in a dignified way.

"Hey?"

Chi Ming felt like Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

One of the ghosts who looked like an old man floated over, first made a bow, and then said ghostly: "Grandfather, thank you for killing that evil ghost for us. If it weren't for you, the old and young family would have left forever." It cannot be controlled by that evil spirit."

"Thank you benefactor."

A dozen people behind him followed suit.

"You...are the previous owners of the restaurant?" Chi Ming already had a vague guess in his heart.

"Exactly."

The old man sighed, his face became even paler, and he continued: "I am a foreigner, and I moved to Tongjun Mansion three years ago to open this restaurant. The old man was an imperial chef, and this cooking skill has been passed down. Because The old man has a decent cooking skill, and the business of the restaurant is also booming. But the good times don’t last long, seeing that we robbed them of their business, they used such insidious tricks to kill our family."

Speaking of sadness, ghost tears flowed, if it were an ordinary person, facing such a dark scene, he would be scared to death on the spot.

"So you were killed by your opponent? What's your opponent's name?" Since he dared to destroy the other party because of jealousy, he couldn't guarantee that that person would not do anything to him, an outsider.

If there is one, there are two, and he has to take some precautions.

"That person is Cai Jin, the boss of Juweilou. This son will take revenge, and he has a very small mind. He is an out-and-out villain. If you meet your benefactor in the future, you must be careful."

Juweilou, isn't it the most expensive restaurant he went to eat at noon today?

The old man bit his lip and said shyly, "Grandfather, if possible, please help the old man's family get back the human skin. The body is incomplete. Even if we go down there, we won't be able to reincarnate. Even if we reincarnate, It also has an impact on the appearance of the next life. I will take care of my benefactor."

Can he not accept this request?

Chi Ming intuitively felt that this was not an easy matter.

As if seeing Chi Ming's reluctance, the old man said again: "As a thank you, this old man is willing to give all his belongings as a reward to benefactor."

"Okay, I promise you."

It doesn't matter if it's money or not, the main reason is that he just wants to do good deeds and act bravely.

"Besides you, is there anything else here?" Chi Ming simply didn't go shopping one by one, and it would be quicker to ask the old residents here.

"Gone."

A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes, and then quickly dimmed.

"Then what happened to those people who were frightened crazy?"

Always make sure that these ghosts are ghosts who have done bad things, he doesn't want to help the evildoers.

"I'm wronged. We didn't do those things. It was all that evil spirit just now. He is the evil spirit raised by Cai Jin. He came here to stare at us and prevent our family from reincarnating."

The old man was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted for injustice.

Once a person becomes a ghost, he doesn't necessarily remain willful.This ghost has always talked about people, talking about ghosts.

But Chi Ming just wanted to take a gamble, he felt that the old ghost in front of him did not seem to be lying.

Chi Ming pondered for a moment: "So, your human skin is likely to be stored by that Cai Jin?"

"Besides him, there will be no one else." The old man grinned and analyzed with some eerie determination.

"Well, I see. Does that mean that I will give you something so that you can go to reincarnation?" He didn't want to have a nest of ghosts living in a good restaurant, it was purely a way to drive away customers.

"Yes." The old man nodded, and led the whole family to hide in the dark again.

Chi Ming also has no desire to continue exploring. It seems that he has to find a way to go to Cai Jin's house first.

When I walked downstairs, the little girl just now was gone, only the crackling and burning candles remained.

Without the unopened seal, where did the little girl come in from?

What's more, there are so many ghosts living upstairs.

Chi Ming shook his head, he should have thought of it from the beginning.

It is also good to leave automatically.

Chi Ming blew out the candle, closed the door, and left.

But after he left, the little girl with bare feet appeared again, blinking her eyes and looking at the person who left intact.

Actually wiped out all the evil spirits...

The author has something to say:

Chi Ming: Please call me Lei Feng

Evil Ghost: Hey, hey, it's so miserable, it turned into a puddle of water after only a few seconds on the stage.
