I have a Yokai cookbook [Gourmet]

Everything was silent, except for the occasional sounds of the chickens, ducks and geese raised in the yard.

Chi Ming waited and yawned again and again, and the end of his eyes was a little wet. Just when he was about to give up, a sneaky figure suddenly appeared in the yard.

"It's a really good well, if only I could bring it back to Zhaoyao Mountain..."

It sounds like a middle-aged man, with a hoarse voice.

Chi Ming looked out, and saw a "person" with a protruding face and hairy ears lying on the mouth of the well, a pair of white ears were particularly conspicuous under the moonlight.

It looks like an ape from a distance.

But he imitated the appearance of a human being and dressed in clothes, his hands looked clean, no different from ordinary people.

The man lifted a bucket of water carefully, then slowly poured it into the golden wine gourd he carried with him, and shook it like a baby.

After that, he pulled out the cork impatiently, raised his head and started drinking.

A strong aroma of wine came domineeringly, it seemed that even the air was filled with a strong and clear aroma of wine.

Chi Ming took a deep breath, the smell of wine was tangy, warm and powerful, his face was flushed, he couldn't help being a little drunk, his body staggered back a step, and just hit the bamboo chair behind him.

There was a "squeak", like a thunder on the ground.

He woke up as if from a dream, and thought inwardly that it was terrible!

Chi Ming hurriedly looked outside, the courtyard was already empty, and there was no sign of that person there.

If it wasn't for the fact that the manhole cover hadn't been closed, and the faint scent of wine could still be smelled in the air, he would have thought he was dreaming.

That one just now must be a demon, otherwise it wouldn't come and go without a trace.

He didn't look for them, but they came to the door themselves.

Chi Ming patted his face, a little excited.

His porcelain-white face was flushed slightly from being slightly drunk, and his long eyelashes like crow feathers quivered slightly.

"Bai Yao, what kind of monster was that just now?"

Chi Ming didn't feel sleepy at all, and carefully explained to Bai Yao the description he had just seen.

"Master, that strange beast is called Xun. He knows the past, but he doesn't know the future. He likes fine wine and straw sandals, and is good at brewing wine. If Master likes it, I can help you catch him."

Bai Yao rubbed her eyes and got out of the bed, the green hairball on her head drooped weakly, as if she would fall asleep in a second.

"Xuan?" Is it the Xuannian he knows?

He had seen its introduction in "Shan Hai Jing".In his free time to hone his cooking skills, he likes to study all kinds of strange beasts in "Shan Hai Jing" for a while.

"Can he really understand the past?" Chi Ming was a little curious.

"I don't know very well, it should be true." Bai Yao has lived for a long time, but he has not really come into contact with many monsters and beasts. Most of the theoretical knowledge is the knowledge base provided to him by the recipe itself.

"You really have a way to catch him?" Knowing the past and being good at brewing wine, he wants to keep monsters anyway, why not take a few that will help him a lot?

When the recipe rewarded him with a well, he was planning to learn wine-making techniques, or find a winemaker who is good at wine-making to make good use of this well.

Unexpectedly, what was lacking would come, and this slut delivered it to the door by herself.

By the way, what did he just say, Zhao Yaoshan?

Bai Yao patted her fluffy chest and promised firmly: "Don't worry, I guarantee that you will be able to catch it. Master, you only need to do this when the time comes..."

Bai Yao whispered a few words next to Chi Ming's ear, their eyes sparkled.

The next day, after Chi Ming finished his business at noon, he closed the store early.

The coachman saw Chi Ming coming from a distance at a glance, and before he asked, he had consciously driven the carriage over.If you look closely, you can still see a few traces of eagerness in his eyes.

He seldom picks up business out of the city recently, so he waits to line up early in the evening to have a good meal under the big locust tree to appease his stomach.

"Go to Zhaoyao Mountain."

Chi Ming likes the hitchhiker's carriage, not only is it cheap, but also the skill of driving the carriage is good, which saves him the pain of bumps on the road.

"Swaggering Mountain?" The coachman didn't move his hand holding the rein, his expression was a little flustered, why did he go there for no reason, he wouldn't find anything, right?

He couldn't help but think of the dark jar that the other party had just brought into the carriage, and there was something like a black cloth bag, which was bulging and he didn't know what was stuffed in it.

He frowned, with some resistance in his heart, and he didn't make any moves for a long time.

"You don't know the place?" Chi Ming was a little surprised. He instinctively thought that the driver was a know-it-all and was familiar with the surrounding area.

He was about to get out of the carriage with his things when the driver suddenly jumped out of the carriage and stared at him sullenly: "I know. What are you doing there?"

"Some private matters." It's inconvenient to say, after all, the other party is an ordinary person, and I'm afraid that he will look at him strangely, and the worst thing is that he will be called a different kind.

The people of the Heavenly Holy Kingdom have always been afraid of ghost legends.

Just like the little fox, at first the villagers believed in him, willingly enshrined his little statue, and respected him as a fairy.But when Yaodao said that he was an evil spirit, the villagers who had been helped by him not only did not believe him, but took up weapons to hurt him.

Human nature is unpredictable.

Human beings are always afraid of the unknown.

The coachman's face became even darker. Apart from the group of monkeys who were lawless and chirping all day long, there was also his family in Zhaoyao Mountain.The person in front of him is not like a simple human being.

He was followed by several goblins.

Could it be that he hides his identity as a Taoist priest?

Just like the legend outside, in fact, it is fake to open a restaurant, but is it true to accept demons?

This person doesn't look like it, as far as he knows, none of those unreasonable bull-nosed people can cook well.

But if this person is not a Taoist priest, then some explanations do not make sense.

That stinky fox with a poisonous tongue doesn't look like a master who can be easily subdued.

"If you don't want to, then I'll find someone else." Chi Ming is not blind, the other party's expression is clearly written on his face, he doesn't know how he offended the driver, he was quite happy when he first met of.

"Let's go, you sit down." The coachman put on a stiff face, and could not help but push the person in.

Since he has to go left and right, it is better for him to follow and watch in person.

If he really dares to do something bad, then he, then he will tie him back and cook for him every day.

Think about the scene, not to mention how beautiful it is.

He has already begun to fantasize about what to eat for three meals a day.

First of all, five hundred skewers of the meatball called Kanto boiled.

The two had their own thoughts, and they didn't speak along the way, only the sound of the wheels rolling and the horse rattling.

By the time they arrived at the legendary Mount Zhaoyao, the sun had already set to the west.

The afterglow of the setting sun covered the sky, and the scale-like clouds were also dyed red, which was a bit dazzlingly beautiful.

Chi Ming quickly jumped out of the carriage and looked up at the majestic and continuous mountains.

Contrary to its name, this swaggering mountain is not ostentatious at all.

The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and if you look closely, you can still see a little bit of snow.Several eagles hovered in the air, as if looking for some prey.

This area is relatively remote, with no villages or shops behind, so it can be regarded as inaccessible.

No wonder Xuanxuan dared to live here.

"Go back first, and wait for me here tomorrow." Chi Ming was already ready to camp on the mountain.

He already has the tent and some pots and pans in the cookbook space.

"Mount Zhaoyao is inaccessible, what are you doing there alone?" The driver held back the whole way, and finally asked in a somewhat unkind tone, lo and behold, he came prepared.

Chi Ming was taken aback for a moment, he felt a strong hostility from the coachman.

He cryptically refused to answer at first, but unexpectedly he asked again.

"There are ingredients I need on the mountain." Chi Ming raised his eyebrows.

It was impossible for him to tell the coachman that he had come here specially to catch the sluts.

Ingredients?

Zhaoyao Mountain has abundant rainfall and fertile land, but there are some delicious fungi and wild fruits.But it's winter now, and there are dead branches and leaves everywhere, not to mention wild fruits, even fungus is not even a half.

So, the ingredients he was talking about couldn't be his family members?

The coachman narrowed his eyes dangerously, pursed his lips tightly, and made a low voice from his throat, like some kind of wild animal waiting for an opportunity to attack.

"This bag of jerky is for you to eat on the road." Chi Ming took out a bag of jerky from his arms and threw it into the driver's arms as if conjuring.

He remembered that the driver liked this jerky very much.

The coachman hurriedly caught the jerky, as if someone had suddenly stuffed it with a sweet date.

He nodded in a daze, took out a slender piece of jerky and stuffed it into his mouth faster than his brain could react, and then drove away in the carriage unsteadily.

Chi Ming breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that this upright driver would break the casserole and ask the end.

Carrying a big black package on his shoulder, holding the wine jar in his right hand, he walked slowly towards the depths of Zhaoyao Mountain.

In fact, the coachman did not leave too far, but hid the carriage in the bushes at the corner.

People quietly followed Chi Ming.

Chi Ming walked all the way, admiring the scenery on the road.

Zhaoyao Mountain is very big, because no one moves around all year round, the weeds grow as tall as a person.

It is quite laborious to squeeze in.

Chi Ming cut off some thorny plants with a sickle, carefully avoided some poisonous plants, and walked for more than half an hour before finding a relatively open place.

It is a pine forest, surrounded by withered and yellow thatch, and a lot of pine cones are scattered on the ground.

It is here.

Chi Ming put down the wine jar, and moved the well in the yard here with his mind.

Suxian likes straw sandals and good wine, so he will use these two things to catch him.

He put a bunch of beautifully woven straw sandals in an open place, and fixed the two ends to two pine trees. Then he opened the mud seal, put on a smock similar to grass and trees, and hid.

The breeze blows, taking away wisps of clear and sweet wine fragrance.

But after a while, a series of chirping sounds came from far and near.

The first one to appear by the wine jar was the one that Chi Ming saw last night.

His eyes widened, and he looked at the fine wine and pairs of exquisitely crafted straw sandals at his feet in disbelief.

The tip of the nose is lingering with the aroma of wine, and not far away is the fairy well that I think about day and night.

He patted his chest excitedly, and pinched his face suspiciously, until he made a squeak before he was sure that he was really not dreaming.

"Brother, these straw sandals are so exquisite." The group of monkeys who came after them all looked like apes, their whole bodies were furry, and they only covered their private parts with leaves.

"Don't move!" Seeing a few young sluts who couldn't resist the charm of the straw sandals and stretched out their furry paws to try them on, the slut who was called the big brother hurriedly stopped them.

"What's the matter, big brother?" The young man scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, very anxious.

"Calm down, all of you, step back ten meters. This must be a trap deliberately set up by cunning humans, just waiting for us to fall into the trap!"

The grown-up man said again earnestly: "Damn human beings, they are trying to lure us into being fooled! Let's go, everyone go home, and obediently go back to me!"

The grown-up man thought he had a lot of backbone and poohed on the ground.

Such a low-quality trick to try to deceive him, it's too tender!
