I have a Yokai cookbook [Gourmet]

"Go and find out who the person who just came in is?"

A black figure came out from the darkness, his whole body was covered by black mist.

"Yes, Your Honor."

The black shadow slowly faded and disappeared into the air.

"Oh, interesting."

Feng Yu's eyes were gloomy and cold, and he slowly twirled the cup in his hand, his face, so flirtatious to the point of being too pale, was full of gloom, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.

Chi Ming lay limply in Xuanshu's arms.

Because his feet were off the ground and his whole body had no strength, he could only hug his neck tightly.

The flying speed was too fast, and the cold wind hit him like a knife.

He wore less clothes, and instinctively leaned towards the warm heat source.

Even so, he still felt cold.

He tucked his hands into his cuffs and complained in a low voice, "It's cold."

Xuanshu regretted bringing him out on impulse.

He glanced at the sparkling lake under his feet, but in the end he didn't throw him down.

At the same time, they silently set up a barrier against the cold wind outside the two of them.

The bone-eroding chill disappeared instantly.

Chi Ming stopped shivering.

As if thinking of something suddenly, he rustled out the pair of ruby ​​bracelets from his pocket.

Squinting for a long time to identify.

"found it!"

What Chi Ming was holding up was the string of bracelets engraved with the word "Chi Yu".

"Give me your hand quickly."

Seeing that the other party has not moved for a long time.

Chi Ming frowned, a little angry.

"This is a gift from me, don't refuse." He reached for Xuanshu's hand self-servingly.

"Where's the hand? Where's your hand?"

Because he was too drunk, his eyes were a little unclear, and even two double images appeared.

"Why can't I grab your hand?"

"Hurp. So it was really a dream..."

Chi Ming has been catching in the air for a long time, and it is clearly in front of him, but every time he catches nothing.

"You don't listen to me how you dream. Although you are a boss, in your dreams, I have the final say."

Chi Ming complained grumblingly.

After only a moment's pause, he moved again.

The man's hot breath sprayed on his face inadvertently, itching and cursing.

Xuanshu looked down at Chi Ming, who was playing drunk, his eyebrows twitched.

He has seen a lot of drunk people, and this is the first time he has seen someone like Chi Ming.

"Give you."

He was a little helpless.

Weird and unfamiliar emotions swept across my heart, like an extremely small stone falling on the surface of a calm lake, causing small ripples, and soon returning to calm.

"Ha, I caught it." Chi Ming carefully put the bracelet on Xuanshu's left hand.

"It's beautiful. As good as mine. I knew you would look good in it."

Chi Ming proudly pushed up the cuff of his right hand.

On the slender and white wrist, there is also a string of ruby ​​bracelets in the shape of a lotus flower.

The ruby ​​is more eye-catching against the snow-like skin, just like the winter plum blossoms in the snow.

It's pretty.

Xuanshu's pupils flickered, like lit fireworks.

"Sure enough, drinking hurts your body..."

Chi Ming clutched his bursting head, feeling the urge to vomit.

He rubbed his belly, got up and looked for water to drink.

I don't know what time it is, the silence in the house is in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.

He glanced at the little bed where the little monk slept, the quilt was still neatly folded there.

The little monk didn't come back last night?

Chi Ming couldn't help but began to worry.

The little monk has not come back to sleep for two consecutive nights.

He asked Hu Batian, and Hu Batian also said he couldn't see clearly.

As soon as Chi Ming opened the door, he saw a person sitting at the door.

The man was sleeping with his knees leaning against the wall.

He stood up in fright when he heard the door open.

"coming?"

Seeing the person in front of him clearly, Chi Ming just greeted him lightly.

I thought the kid had run away.

I didn't expect it to come.

"Since I, Liu Yi, said I would come, I will definitely come." Although he didn't know what this person in front of him wanted to do to him, the 1 taels of silver did improve the lives of his brothers.

"Come in with me." Chi Ming turned around and entered the room again.

Liu Yi didn't speak, but followed in silently.

Chi Ming walked to the desk and wrote a letter with a pen.

He is not going to make Liu Yi's move for the time being.

Since he was going to be supported in his position, the most important thing right now was to find him a teacher.

Right Prime Minister Li Changqing is a good candidate.

He handed the token and letter from Li Changqing to Liu Yi and said, "You set off immediately to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital, and do everything you can to worship Li Changqing as your teacher. I will give you a year to fully improve yourself. If a year later, you will still be here You don't have to come back to me with this foolish look. On the contrary, if you can do something, then I will definitely help you with whatever you think about."

Liu Yi looked indifferent at first, but at the end, he couldn't help but change his expression.

Why is this person helping him, and what exactly does he want from him?

What's on my mind...

He clenched his fists, and his face became extremely pale.

He never told anyone about his plans, not even Shouhou and the others.

"You don't have to doubt my intentions, I have no purpose for you. If there is any, it's probably because we have the same enemy."

Chi Ming took out another 1 taels of bank note and handed it to Liu Yi: "This 1 taels of silver note is my investment in you in advance, plus the previous 1 taels, it will be 2 taels. Remember to pay me back [-] when you succeed."

One hundred thousand?

Why don't you go grab it!

Liu Yi gritted his teeth and took the bank note: "Then you are not afraid that I will let you lose the bet, and the last 2 taels will be in vain?"

"Hehe, I'm afraid too. However, one thing about me is that I have always had good luck. You don't have to belittle yourself, just work hard."

"Then what if I was killed in the capital? You also know that the capital is a place that eats people and doesn't spit out their bones. There is no family power. A young boy who ran out of a poor country wants to be like a crouching tiger, a hidden dragon in the capital." It’s not easy for a place to become famous.”

Liu Yi didn't know why, but he had a strong premonition that as long as he got on this thief ship today, his future would undergo earth-shaking changes.

"Well, what you said is a problem. I will let Feng Qi go to the capital with you. With him here, you don't need to worry about your safety." Chi Ming had just communicated with the little fox and promised him many good things. And after promising to go to the capital as soon as possible, he reluctantly agreed to help take care of Liu Yi temporarily for the next year.

"Is that the man in red from before?" Liu Yi's mind instantly remembered the man in red that he saw that day.

"Yes."

"Okay, I agree." Liu Yi stopped struggling.

Instead of working hard with no direction on your own, it is better to follow the path arranged by the person in front of you.

He will go back to the capital sooner or later, but it's just a matter of time.

And the person in front of him also knew the prime minister.

"Then you can start now." Chi Ming was quite satisfied with Liu Yi's straightforwardness.

He is a man who can stretch and bend.

"Then, that Feng Qi you mentioned just now?" Liu Yi didn't forget what Chi Ming promised him just now.

He also knew that although he had some knowledge in martial arts, it was not worth mentioning compared to those masters in the capital.

He's already waiting for you outside the inn.

"..."

So if the other party agrees at the beginning, will he agree?

But, no, that Feng Qi never showed up from the beginning to the end, so how did he know that he was outside now.

Perhaps in order to confirm what Chi Ming said, he went to the window to take a look.

Only when he saw the familiar red figure did he feel at ease.

"Don't worry, I don't have any other skills, I just have a hard life. As for the one hundred thousand you just said, it's no problem. As long as things are done, 10 taels of gold can be done." As for shoes, he, Liu Yi, is currently poor and poor, and he has nothing to lose.

As soon as Chi Ming listened to the music, is this person so upright?

He picked up a pen and wrote down the IOU on the white paper, and handed it to Liu Yi.

"Since that's the case, there's no evidence for what you say, so you can press your fingerprint after signing."

The brothers still know how to settle accounts, not to mention the two of them have nothing to do with each other.

However, there is now.

"..." Liu Yi, who has always been the one who made others speechless, suddenly felt bad.

The momentary emotion just disappeared without a trace.

Just sign it and press your fingerprints, which is too much.

But even so, he still picked up a pen and signed his name in a flash, and pressed his fingerprint with great reluctance.

"Okay, you can go now, I have to go to lunch, so I won't accompany you."

Liu Yi's left eye began to twitch.

He drove all night, and he was reluctant to spend money on breakfast.

But after thinking about it, I now have 1 taels of silver.

Let's rent a better carriage first.

The capital is hundreds of thousands of miles away, and it is absolutely impossible to walk on his two legs alone.

After sending Liu Yi away, Chi Ming found a restaurant for lunch.

During the period, he was recognized by others, and he kept pulling him to say polite words.

A few even want to hire him with a high salary to be a private cook in the house.

Chi Ming was thinking about the reward of the recipe, and he didn't bother to argue with those people.

Just when he was walking to the door, he bumped into someone.

The man looked very familiar, especially the red mole under the right eye, which was extremely eye-catching.

He stopped.

He remembered where he had seen it before.

Isn't this man the man who sat with Xuanshu that day?

Seen from a distance and up close, the impact is completely different.

With near-perfect facial features and a charming face, even Chi Ming has to admit that this person is really prettier than him.

"Am I good-looking?" Unexpectedly, the handsome man on the opposite side spoke suddenly, looking at Chi Ming with eyes full of interest.

"?"

Didn't he just take another look and ask him if he looks good, what the hell is it?

If Xuanshu asked him this question, he would definitely say it looks good.

But for the man in front of him, it's okay if he doesn't speak. When he speaks, he completely breaks the previous aesthetic feeling, especially after catching the teasing and entertaining thoughts in the other party's eyes.

"Hehe, you don't remember me? We met last night." Feng Yu's black eyes silently stared at Chi Ming, but the blood in his chest began to roar.

But, soon, he laughed.

A mere mortal has a lifespan of only a few years.

Even that half-demon can't beat him, let alone this useless mortal in front of him.

As soon as he thought of the news that the people under him had inquired overnight, he had the urge to tear the person in front of him into pieces.

Mysterious techniques can only belong to him.

If you can't get it, then don't get it for others.

For his own sake, he would not hesitate to change his original appearance and become that most hated half-demon.

This time, no one can try to rob him.

Chi Ming was stunned, did they meet last night?

He has no impression at all.

"Hehe, it seems that you really don't remember. It's fine if you don't. We will meet again if we are destined."

Feng Yu smiled extremely kindly, and on the surface he still gave people an extremely kind and kind feeling.

But only he himself knew that he was suppressing at this moment.

As long as this lowly mortal dares to show a little thought that shouldn't be there, he doesn't mind sending him to be with the half-demon who died for a thousand years now.

Chi Ming looked at Feng Yu's leaving back, lost in thought.

What happened last night, why didn't he have the slightest impression?

He only remembered that he was drunk, and he couldn't remember the rest no matter how he recalled.

Moreover, what made him feel the weirdest was that he felt a very familiar feeling from that person, especially facing that face.

I didn't feel it at first, but the closer I got, the stronger the feeling became.

"Master, do you still want to go to the ghost market?" The driver came over.

Still wearing a bamboo hat, lowering people, making it hard to see the expression on his face.

"Well, let's go."

Chi Ming quickly put the doubts behind him.

The coachman led Chi Ming to a narrow alley.

Under the inconspicuous low wall, sat a white-haired old lady, in front of her was an old wooden cabinet with some tea sets on it.

"Do you want black tea or white tea?" The old lady poured two cups of tea without looking up.

"Two cups of red." The driver stepped forward, took the cups and handed them to Chi Ming.

Is this bitter red tea drinkable?

Seeing that the coachman drank it in one gulp without hesitation, Chi Ming hesitated for a while and then raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

The tea is bitter, but after drinking it, the lips and teeth are salivated, which is very thirst-quenching.

"You must wear a mask when you enter the ghost market. You two choose one, it's not expensive, and each one is a tael of silver." The old woman took out a dozen masks with different patterns from under the cabinet.

The driver hurriedly waved his hand. He had already bought a wolf mask a few days ago.

"Thank you, no need. I just have a mask." Chi Ming also took out the fox mask that the little fox gave him.

The old woman just glanced at the two of them with cloudy eyes, but didn't say anything, and then hid the mask under the cabinet again.

"Then go in. Remember, you only have two hours. If you don't come out after the hour, you will bear the consequences."

After the gorgeous-haired old woman finished speaking, she tapped the mottled wall behind her with the snake-like cane in her hand.

After knocking for a while, the wall cracked, and a small opening that only allowed one person to enter and exit appeared.

The coachman went in first.

Chi Ming followed closely behind.

Behind the wall is a passage that extends into the ground.

Walking down the stone steps for about half an hour, a vision suddenly opened up.

Chi Ming looked at the densely packed stalls that could not be seen, and his heart was shocked.

A faint blue lamp hangs above the head of each stall.

If Chi Ming hadn't seen it a lot, he would have been so frightened that his legs were weak.

Every vendor wears a mask, some are evil ghosts with blue faces and fangs, and some are clowns with white faces.

There are also a few who wear fox masks like Chi Ming, but they don't look as good as him.

Chi Ming looked at the stalls one by one, and stopped to take a look when he saw something novel.

Ghost markets can be settled with gold and silver, and can also be bartered.

"Boss, what is this, and how do you sell it?" Chi Ming squatted in front of an inconspicuous stall, pointing to the mangosteen-like fruit in the basket with great interest.

"Fire bamboo fruit, ten taels of silver each."

The fire bamboo fruit seller was a middle-aged man wearing a white tiger mask. Unlike other vendors, he leaned against the tree with his legs bent, holding a very ordinary wine gourd in his hand, and took a sip from time to time.

Buying a piece of fruit for ten taels of silver is indeed ridiculously expensive.

It's not that he doesn't have money, Chi Ming is afraid that he will be taken advantage of by others when he comes to the ghost market for the first time.

He glanced at the coachman and saw that his eyes were staring at the small box of fruit, and he probably knew it.

"Master, this fire bamboo fruit is a good thing. It is a fruit that grows in the extremely hot area of ​​the demon world. It has the effect of clearing away evil fire and heat. Whether it is eaten by humans or demons, it can strengthen the body."

Bai Yao, who was still sleeping in Chi Ming's arms, climbed onto Chi Ming's shoulder excitedly.

It is indeed a good thing to strengthen the body.

Since it's a good thing, he'll buy more, and then share a point with all the goblins in the recipe.

"Boss, I want this basket of fire bamboo fruit, can you make it cheaper?" The man in the white tiger mask stopped drinking.

He picked this fire bamboo fruit three days ago, if it can't be sold today, it will be even more difficult to sell it when the surface of the fruit becomes shriveled.

"A total of 32 fruits, you give me 300 taels of silver, and the remaining two are given to you."

"Okay, deal."

Chi Ming readily took out three bank notes worth a hundred taels and handed them to the man in the white tiger mask.

"However, can the fruit be kept with you temporarily? I still want to go around and take it away when I leave later."

Although the recipe has a lot of space, but in front of so many eyes, he dare not openly put the fruit into the space.

The so-called crime of carrying a jade, still needs to be cautious.

The white tiger masked man glanced at some unsold herbs left on the stall, and nodded.

I just have some doubts in my heart.

Isn't this young man afraid that he will run away with his things later?

Chi Ming continued to walk forward.

The ghost market is just like the name, it is full of weirdness and abnormality everywhere.

The way some street vendors look at him makes him feel very uncomfortable, which is usually either a ghost or a monster.

There are also some human beings mixed in, and the most sold are some life-playing devices.

Among them, emerald, jade, and calligraphy and paintings of the former dynasty are the main ones.

Although he knows that this kind of thing has a lot of room for appreciation, Chi Ming keeps a respectful distance from these things, because he is afraid that something that is not easy to provoke should not be provoked.

On the contrary, he prefers to collect some ingredients he has never seen before, but unfortunately, along the way, there are not many people who sell them.

"Master, I bought the snow lotus from him the day before yesterday." The driver recognized the man who also wore a wolf mask at a glance.

I saw a few snow lotuses scattered on the silk cloth on the ground, and a few old ginseng plants.

What attracted Chi Ming's attention the most was the pile of bug-shaped things in the corner.

Cordyceps?

Chi Ming carefully picked up one, put it under his nose and smelled it.

A pleasant smell similar to mushrooms, mixed with a faint earthy smell.

The grass head and the head are also formed naturally. The cross-section is white with obvious lines, and there is a black V shape in the middle. It is a real caterpillar fungus.

This is definitely the real caterpillar fungus.

Smiling, Chi Ming laughed first.

Out of instinct, the first thing he did when he got the Cordyceps was to distinguish the real from the fake.

But he thought, in ancient times, no one would have the thought to fake Cordyceps.

It is extremely rare to find this Cordyceps sinensis in the pharmacy. The reason why he said this is because he has deliberately searched for it several times.

"How do you sell this Cordyceps?" Chi Ming had already started thinking about how to use Cordyceps to make soup.

"You want this?" The man with the wolf mask raised his eyebrows. He found this thing by accident, and no one wanted it in several pharmacies. He was worried about how to get rid of it.

"Yes." I don't know what price the other party will offer.

In modern times, the price of good Cordyceps is calculated in thousands and tens of thousands.

"If you buy it separately, it will cost you ten taels of silver. If you want all of these, you will only be charged 20 taels of silver."

so cheap?

This price was somewhat beyond Chi Ming's expectations.

Is it because the other party doesn't know the goods, so the price is so low?

Chi Ming made a somewhat embarrassed look, and didn't intend to agree.

The driver tugged at Chi Ming's cuff: "Master, this thing looks like dried insects, and it's not worth much at all. How about I take you to the front to have a look. I seem to have seen this kind of thing the other day. These are even better."

Before Chi Ming could answer, the man in the wolf mask immediately said: "Hey, forget it, forget it, I'll sell you these cheaply, 18 taels, a buy-it-yourself price."

No matter how cheap it is, he will really lose money.

No matter what, I have to earn back the travel expenses.

"Deal." Chi Ming readily agreed this time.

The man in the wolf mask saw Chi Ming's willingness to agree, and then looked at the driver with the corner of his mouth raised, his heart skipped a beat, and he secretly screamed that he had been fooled.

But doing business emphasizes integrity, and he is not a master who goes back on his word.

Chi Ming was holding a cloth of caterpillar fungus in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were almost raised to the sky.

Probably this is the joy of picking up leaks.

"Come and take a look, take a look, the peace talisman is cheap."

This familiar voice...

Isn't this the little monk who disappeared for two days and two nights?

As soon as Chi Ming turned his head, he saw the little fox wearing a kitten mask.

Although he didn't wear a monk's uniform, but an ill-fitting black robe, Chi Ming recognized him at a glance.

So, he's here these days?

He was worried that something had happened to him before.

Chi Ming shook his head and walked towards the little monk.

It was only when he got closer that he saw clearly that there was a man in tattered monk clothes lying behind the little monk.

monk?

Although he was also wearing a cat mask, the man was dressed unabashedly, and it was obvious at a glance that he was a monk.

Especially when the man was still eating a roast duck in his hand.

Bones were scattered all over the floor around his feet.

Could it be that this person is the master that the little monk mentioned?
