I have a Yokai cookbook [Gourmet]

Chi Ming sat up with the aftereffects of hangover, his head was dizzy.

The moment he woke up, he remembered the outrageous dream he had last night.

He actually kissed that person in his dream and made him smile more.

Fortunately, it was a dream. If it was real, he didn't even dare to think about the consequences.

With dry mouth and tongue, he got up to pour water, only to find that the place where the teapot was originally placed had turned into a puddle of ashes.

"Where is my favorite purple clay pot?" Chi Ming searched around, and finally confirmed that the pile of ashes on the table was his favorite teapot.

So, what the hell happened last night?

Could it be that it was not a dream, but real?

Soon he shook his head in denial, comforting himself, if it was true, he would have died long ago.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that the little monk and the others were all standing in the yard, and everyone was looking at him eagerly.

It was only then that Chi Ming remembered that when he was drunk last night, he said that today is a holiday, and he has prepared New Year gifts and red envelopes for everyone.

Chi Ming turned around and entered the room again, took out a stack of red envelopes prepared in advance, and distributed them to everyone one by one, even Hu Batian who joined last.

"The presents are all on the second floor. Take them yourself, one for each person. Let's take the annual leave today, and you will come back after sixteen."

The little monk secretly glanced at the red seal, and couldn't close his mouth with joy.

Zhengyuan Zhengshou is also very happy. They have only been here for a few days, and they also have red envelopes. Now they can buy some delicious food for the juniors in the temple when they go back.

Chi Ming stood at the entrance of Chi Yan, watching the group of people leave, and also dismissed some diners who came to the restaurant for dinner.

Li Yusheng looked at the direction Chacha was leaving with some reluctance, and finally got into the carriage reluctantly under Li Qi's constant urging.

The coachman saw that Hu Batian had brought a cart full of things back to Zhaoyao Mountain for the New Year, and couldn't help but envy him.

"These are here for you. Take them home and feed them to the children at home. They are not valuable things." Chi Ming and the coachman are old acquaintances. He is thinking about whether to hire this coachman as Chi Yan's long-term coachman next year. When the time comes, I will equip him with a better carriage, and this broken carriage will be used as a truck.

The coachman opened his mouth a little flattered, he didn't go to pick up those things, but silently turned around and took out a wooden box from the carriage: inside was a sickly little ginseng essence.

"I can't take such a valuable thing." Chi Ming recognized at a glance that this ginseng still has new soil, its roots are intact, and it is already in human form.

"It's useless for me to keep it." In order to gain Chi Ming's favor, the driver opened his eyes and told lies. With this ginseng, he could sell it for a sky-high price, but he somehow wanted to give it to the other party.

"Then let me buy it from you." Chi Ming took out 1000 taels of silver and handed it directly to the driver.He remembered that when his grandmother was ill, he bought this kind of ginseng and gave him 900 taels of silver.

The coachman's eyes lit up, and he was just about to refuse. If he took the money, how could he have the nerve to say that he wanted to join Chi Yan next year.

"You take it. It must have taken you a lot of effort to dig this ginseng plant. You can live a good year with the money back. In addition, I want to ask if you would like to come to work with me next year."

"I am willing." The coachman readily accepted the money and agreed without thinking.

"Okay, then you, like the employees in my store, will come back after the [-]th next year."

Chi Ming didn't expect the coachman to agree so simply, he wondered if he should find a carpenter to order a more comfortable carriage now.

"Okay." The coachman wiped away the lemon tears from before, waved his sleeves, and went shopping happily. This year, his little boys will also have a good year.

After everyone left, Chi Ming simply posted a notice of closure, closed the door of Chi Yan, and only entered and exited through the side door.

There was no sound of the little monk's wooden fish, no sound of bickering between Chacha and Li Yusheng, all the goblins in the recipe had gone home for the New Year, and he and Bai Yao were the only ones left.

Chi Ming has not been idle for the past few days, he is posting Spring Festival couplets, cleaning, and making a lot of pastries and candies, which he plans to distribute to neighbors during the Chinese New Year.

In this way, it came to the New Year's Eve.

Chi Ming delivered pastries and candies from door to door, but when he delivered them to the next door, he knocked on the door for a long time but failed to open it.

Just as he was about to leave, the closed luxurious door finally opened, revealing a somewhat familiar face.

When Curly saw the pastry in Chi Ming's hand, his eyes lit up, but he couldn't put on a good face when he thought that his master had become weird because of this person in front of him these days.

"This is the pastry and candy I made myself." Chi Ming handed the things over.

Curly was hesitating whether to pick it up or not, when he received a sound transmission in his mind, he was in disbelief but didn't show it on his face: "My master asked you to send it in by yourself."

It was the first time that Chi Ming met such a family as a gift.

Suddenly, he remembered where he had seen this curly-haired boy.

He regretted knocking on this door, but if he really bypassed him and gave gifts to all the neighbors around him, he really didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Holding the food box, Chi Ming bit the bullet and pushed open the door.

Then, he actually saw that person.

The man was playing with a bone whip in his hand, and as the whip waved, it made a rustling sound.

"Well, I put the things here. I'll go back first." Chi Ming didn't want to keep more, especially the whip gave it a very evil feeling.

"Wait." The voice came from behind faintly, as if decorated with ice beads.

Chi Ming's raised foot fell down helplessly, he squeezed out a smile, and turned to look at Xuanshu.

Then his eyes somehow fell on the rosy and full thin lips, and then he saw the broken skin at the corner of the mouth.

Gudong, Chi Ming couldn't help swallowing, and averted his eyes a little dryly.

Xuanshu frowned almost invisibly, his eyes moved down, and finally fixed on the other party's sexy little pouting lips.

It seemed as if a century had passed before Chi Ming heard the other party say again: "Take this back."

What to take back?

That whip with the spine of a beast?

Can he not?

It's useless for him to give this thing.Chi Ming lowered his head, pretending not to understand.

Before he could react, there was a biting cold whip in his hand.He instinctively wanted to throw the thing away, but when he met the other party's gaze, he held back.

Xuanshu's eyes deepened a bit.

This person is not afraid of Ba Snake's cold and evil spirit, how can a mere mortal do this?

However, he observed carefully that this person did not have any spiritual power, nor did he have any cultivation base.

He, not that half-demon.

If it was him, he would react to the bone whip in his hand.

After several trials, Xuanshu finally overturned the previous speculation.

I don't know why I took a breath of relief.

He waved his hand wearily.

Chi Ming wanted to run away for a long time, but now he got the instructions and left in a hurry.

As soon as Chi Ming went back, he threw the hot whip aside.

But Bai Yao ran out at this time, and began to look at the bone whip lying quietly on the table with great interest.

"Master, this is a good thing. It is difficult for a mortal to heal a god if a mortal is whipped by this whip. A monster's spiritual power will be broken by this whip, and its skin will be torn apart. Master, you should bleed quickly and recognize the master. After recognizing the master, he will be able to recover." Change the size and shape as you wish."

Bai Yao had seen the introduction of this thing in ancient books, and was a little excited to see the real thing with her own eyes.

Chi Ming hesitated, he resisted this thing a little, and there seemed to be a voice deep in his heart telling him not to touch it.

But he really needs such a handy weapon.

"Master, why are you hesitating? This is a bone whip made from the spine of a Cuban snake. It is extremely powerful. Many monsters just don't want it. Even I am very excited." I'm afraid that some blind goblin will really come to snatch this treasure.

"After recognizing the master, will it cause any harm to the body?" Chi Ming still didn't dare to be too careless as the cold and tingling feeling was still vivid in his memory.

"Don't worry, master, after recognizing the master, it will not cause any harm to the master." Bai Yao patted her chest and assured.

"Alright then." Chi Ming pricked his finger with some reluctance, dripping a drop of blood onto the bone whip.

As soon as the bright red blood sank into the joints, a dazzling light flashed, and the bone whip on the table disappeared instantly.

Chi Ming only felt his wrist tighten, and a bracelet in the shape of a small green snake appeared on his wrist. If you look carefully, you can still see the joints on it.

"It ran into my hand, how can I take it off?" Chi Ming raised his hand, a little satisfied with the current shape of the bone whip, at least it doesn't look scary, and there is no stinging pain at the beginning after touching the skin a feeling of.

"Haha, it's so beautiful. Master, try to move your mind."

With a thought in Chi Ming's mind, the bone whip returned to its original appearance.

He held it in his hand and waved it a few times, making a crackling sound.

This thing should be very expensive.

Chi Ming put away the bone whip again, and in order to express his gratitude, he prepared to make a table of delicacies to reward the other party.

On New Year's Eve, there are no pedestrians on the street, and almost all the shops are closed.Every family sat around and had a reunion dinner together.

Chi Ming made 24 dishes in one breath, implying looking at each other from head to tail, reunion, and also the expectation for the coming year.

Most of the prepared dishes are placed in the steamer and served only after the guests come to the door.

Chi Ming notified the neighbor early, but he was not sure if the other party would come.

After he finished the last couple's lung slice, he turned around and saw Xuanshu sitting on the dining table.

Different from what he saw in the morning, he has changed into a suit of clothes. Although it is still black, Chi Ming's sharp eyes can still see the difference.

Behind him stood curly hair and another boy in white.

"You came at the right time, I just finished cooking." Chi Ming wiped his hands on the apron, lifted the lid of the steamer, put on heat-resistant gloves, and started serving dishes on the table bowl by bowl.

"This is white-cut chicken. Eating chicken during the Chinese New Year will bring good luck."

"This is sauced pork knuckle, which means wealth comes from all directions."

"Sixi meatballs, reunion round."

"There is also this long fish with soft pockets. I hope that there will be more in the coming year." Seeing that the other party is not impatient, Chi Ming introduced it enthusiastically.

"Sweet and sour pork ribs, which means sweet and sweet, harmonious and beautiful."

"Steamed sweet-scented osmanthus fish, implying that each other is in love with each other."

"Cold celery, meaning..."

Xuan Shu listened nonchalantly, every time the other party introduced a dish, he picked up a chopstick and tasted it.

Seeing that the sound was suddenly turned off, he stopped eating the food, and stared at Chi Ming, whose cheeks were flushed.
