Cute Beast Food Garden

"Gujigu!"

The underground of the town is bustling and bustling, but the sky is quiet and quiet, with occasional whispers of wind blowing by.The bird stood in a small hanging basket under the lantern, singing softly, taking the bright night sky as its own stage.

Flying all the way, the other lanterns in the sky have been flying towards the sky, rising higher and higher.The bird lantern with the iron block pressed in the basket maintains a relatively constant height and continues to glide forward smoothly.

Seeing that the direction of the wind has changed slightly, and the direction away from the restaurant is getting more and more deviated, Qi Yan does not want to be blown to a strange place. He concentrates on searching the familiar area on the ground, relying on his own gravity to slowly decline.

Tourists and vendors all gathered in Luoxia Bay, the streets where the restaurants were located were almost empty, and even the lights were not turned on.Flying on the dark street for a while, Xiaoniao suddenly saw a white figure approaching quietly in front of him, and then heard a familiar voice.

"Is it Qi Yan, why did you float back?"

That tall, thin white figure was Boss Lan.He was dragging a small cart in his hand, which contained the second batch of freshly baked food, and was about to go to Luoxia Bay to replace Si Dongmo and the others for a rest.

The beauty looked up and saw the bird-shaped lantern in the sky. There was a red bird standing in the hanging basket under the lantern. The fat figure was very familiar.

"Cuckoo!"

The little bird crawled out of the hanging basket, and its plump body jumped down.Its small wings flapped a few times in the air, and with the force of the wind blowing forward, it happened to lightly land on the top of Boss Lan's head.

Xiaotuanzi landed successfully, and happily hugged Boss Lan's delicate neck, pointing her pointed beak at the back of the beauty's head.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

After a burst of pecking lightly, the bird disappeared, and the boy's figure appeared out of thin air and landed firmly on the ground.Before landing, he grabbed the hanging basket of the lantern floating in the air and recovered it.

"Boss Lan, I'm about to borrow a wind blowing beast from you."

Qi Yan reported the situation in Luoxia Bay to Boss Lan.The beauty boss snapped his fingers and called twice.

Soon, I saw a bulging "cloth bag" floating in the air. It turned out that the brown-red blowing beast flew down from the top of the restaurant's kitchen.It opened its mouth wide, blowing wind into its stomach, and inflated itself like an inflated balloon, its round body dangling in the air.

"The wind blowing beast has a big appetite. Maybe it will suck up all the smoke in Luoxia Bay." Boss Lan raised a hand with a smile. The body of the balloon is precarious, and it seems that it may be blown away by the wind at any time.

"The lanterns tonight are so beautiful."

Boss Lan sighed leisurely as he looked at the lights that were gradually going away.He noticed the bird-shaped lantern in Qi Yan's hand.

"I just flew here on a lantern." Qi Yan said with a smile, "Walking from the sky is much closer than running on the ground."

Boss Lan's eyes flickered: "Your current bird-shaped body can't fly yet?"

Qi Yan sighed: "No, after becoming a bird, my wings are too short, and I can't fly at all." He tried to fly many times, but the short wings and the body that became fatter and fatter could not fly at all. Out of proportion, can only hop or walk waddled like a penguin, unable to fly at all.

Boss Lan reassured: "You don't have to worry, little chicks are like this, and they can transform after practicing. Generally speaking, ocher magpies are raised and educated by their parents, and parents will tell the little birds how to cultivate spiritual power. .But I see that you are usually alone, presumably no one taught you how to practice?"

"Exactly." Qi Yan nodded calmly, "Not long after I was born from the shell, the big tree where the bird's nest was located was split by lightning, and all the brothers and sisters born in the same nest fell under the tree. Met my 'parents'."

"It's okay, spirit beasts can achieve the same effect through spiritual medicine cultivation."

During the conversation, the silly wind blowing beast suddenly jumped on the top of Boss Lan's head, flicked its two little paws left and right, and pulled away the light blue hairband on the beauty's ponytail, making him look like a waterfall. His long hair fell loose.

"Gu Feng Beast, don't mess around, come back obediently!"

Gufeng Beast snatched Boss Lan's headband with its paws.It looked extremely excited after the prank succeeded, spinning and flying in the air like a hot air balloon out of control.Boss Lan, with his beautiful long hair, followed behind the Wind Beast, staggering after it.

After shouting a few times, he found that the naughty boy couldn't listen to him, so he simply stood still, shook his sleeves, and scattered a piece of light blue dust from it.

The dust of herbal medicine drifted forward along the breeze, completely covering the wind blowing beast.The trickster's movement suddenly froze, he whirled and rolled a few times in the air, and then fell straight down like a deflated ball, falling face down to the ground.

"What a villain!" Boss Lan picked up the deflated Blowwind Beast, put it on his shoulder, picked up the headband and tied up his long hair again.

Qi Yan, who witnessed all this, couldn't help laughing: "This wind blowing beast is too naughty! But Boss Lan, I seem to have seen the blue smoke you emitted just now when I first came to the restaurant."

At that time, Si Dongmo was besieged by Wang Ping's minions, and he rushed to help in a hurry. Wang Ping was knocked down by their partnership, but the other younger brothers were driven away by a mysterious blue smoke .Qi Yan saw that burst of blue smoke again today, and felt very familiar.

"It's tickle powder." Boss Lan shook his sleeves, curled his mouth, and his expression was a little smug, "I usually stay alone in the restaurant at night. In order to prevent thieves, I always carry a bottle of tickle grass with me It is made of medicinal powder. When the medicine is dispersed, it can make people feel itchy and weak, and the medicinal power is extremely strong."

"Boss Lan really deserves to be a master of herbs." Qi Yan said in shock, "You helped Dongmo like this last time, too!"

"Hmm...it's easy to do."

When they arrived at Luoxia Bay, it was the peak time for tourists to gather.The barbecue stall next door has already formed a long line, and the line has circled three corners.The stall where Si Dongmo and the others were located was almost submerged by crowds and smoke.

Qi Yan rushed to the side of the car and found that both brothers had red eyes, tears in their eyes, coughing repeatedly from the smell of barbecue smoke.The first batch of food brought earlier has been sold out, and they are sitting sideways in front of the cart in a daze.

Seeing Qi Yan and Boss Lan appear, Si Dongmo got up and helped tidy up, while Le Hong wiped his tears and complained: "The two strangers next to you, the grilled meat skewers are too smoky, I will wait any longer." Eyes are going to swell!"

"It's okay, we brought a 'baby' here this time."

Boss Lan put down the wind blowing beast on his shoulders.Smelling the smoke, the shriveled creature became excited and opened its mouth wide.

Le Hong was surprised: "Oh, this thing is amazing, the mouth is so wide open!"

"Hoo hoo—!"

A gust of strong wind came from the outside to the inside, and the wind blowing beast used its gatekeeper skills, sucking up the smoke.Almost immediately, a large amount of smoke from the barbecue stall next door was immediately sucked into its big belly, and its shriveled body gradually swelled up.

Taking advantage of this situation, Qi Yan and his party once again set up their positions to carry out the second wave of sales.The choking smoke was sucked away by the Blowing Beast, and finally the stalls of the restaurants were cleared of the clouds, and the authentic aroma of pine nuts spread in all directions.

Le Hong jumped out, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Authentic pine nut snacks! Soft cakes, pies, and various meatballs!"

Without the fumes of the choking smoke, their business reopened, and each of them was full of enthusiasm.A quarter of an hour later, there was a long queue in front of the restaurant stalls again, and the rich fragrance of herbs wafted around, attracting a large number of tourists who prefer fresh snacks.The aroma of herbs even overwhelms the choking smell of smoked roasting next door, which is fascinating.

However, there are so many tourists gathered in front of their stalls, apart from the temptation of food, there are also things that are as eye-catching as food.

"Wow - this is Boss Lan from Fourteen Restaurant!"

Someone in the crowd recognized the silhouette of the beauty under the street lamp, and exclaimed in a low voice.

It can be said that Lan Shir, a beautiful boss, has played a key role in the fact that Fourteen Restaurant can do a good job with its niche cooking style.The taste of the food in the restaurant is rather bland. Apart from the diners who really like this style and those who occasionally come to adjust the taste, there are also some diners who come here specifically for Boss Lan.

There are usually not many customers in restaurants, and Boss Lan is very approachable. In order to get close to the beauty, some men and women in the town choose to walk into his shop to eat, chat with the beauty by the way, and fall in love with the food here over time. fresh flavor.Boss Lan's beauty is also well-known and has become one of the signatures of Fourteen Restaurants.

But this time, a handsome young man standing beside Boss Lan attracted people's attention.The young man was wearing a neat blue shirt, working diligently in front of the car, from time to time he showed a faint smile to the long queue of people, innocent but captivating.

"Could this be the new waiter in the restaurant?" Someone whispered.

A young man walked up to the cart and ordered two fried rice.He looked at the young man's face a little shyly, and then felt a coolness coming from diagonally forward.

Looking up, he found a tall man standing beside the young man. He didn't say a word, his expression was mature and stable, and his breath was restrained but not offending.While the young customer was peeking at Qi Yan's exquisite profile, he suddenly saw the man's gaze casting over from behind, locking his eyes tightly, causing his neck to shrink back and his hairs to stand on end.

Qi Yan didn't know anything about what was happening beside him, he only felt that the atmosphere here was a bit weird by intuition.Looking up and seeing the bewildered young customer in front of him, he held the packaged fragrant fried rice in both hands, and smiled at him: "Welcome to come often."

"Ah, okay, okay. Good-bye." The young man nodded cautiously, and finally took a peek at Qi Yan, and fled away under Si Dongmo's gloomy onlookers.

Customers came in an endless stream. Seeing Qi Yan sweating in front of the car, Boss Lan walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to go down and take a rest: "Let me help you for a while."

Boss Lan rolled up his sleeves and came to sell snacks in person, which caused a slight commotion among the crowd.Qi Yan took the towel from Si Dongmo's hand, and planned to sit beside him for a while, when he suddenly heard a "quack".

"oops!"

It's the Wind Beast, this naughty guy landed on all fours, ran over with a patter, jumped up Boss Lan's clothes, and a pair of evil little claws stretched out to the beauty's high ponytail again .

With a soft chirp, Boss Lan's headband was ruthlessly dismantled and fell into the clutches of the devil again.Lan Shishi's long black hair hung down, fluttering gently with the night wind.

"Aww!"

The wind blowing beast proudly bulged into a ball, holding a light blue hair tie in its short paws.While waving the hairband in its hand, it fled towards the outside.

"Drum Beast, come back!"

Boss Lan was about to grab it, but the naughty bastard sneaked into the crowd deftly, and fled with his hair tie.He wanted to catch up, but he couldn't leave the car and the customers alone, so he sighed helplessly and turned back.

Seeing this, Qi Yan stood up from the small stool and suggested, "Boss Lan, let me help you find the Wind Beast."

Boss Lan smiled lightly, "Then thank you."

Qi Yan walked out from the crowd, searching for the figure of the blowing wind beast in the air.Due to copying the super perception ability of Nocturnal Bear, his senses have been greatly improved. His sharp eyes scanned the street and immediately noticed the unusual brown-red figure.

He smiled softly, and chased after the wind blowing beast without making a sound.

However, just as he was sneaking all the way to a place not far from the wind blowing beast, the troublemaker suddenly turned around and collided with his gaze.

"Aww!" The wind beast bulging into a ball made a face at him and fled forward.Qi Yan quickly ran after her.At this moment, a fiery red figure passed by him and galloped towards the wind blowing beast.

Qi Yan took a closer look, and saw that the one that rushed towards the wind beast like an arrow from the string was the Yanwei dog who had come to the stall to buy food!The big dog has a nimble body and runs like a red whirlwind. It quickly catches up with the Blowwind Beast, which is running halfway up and down, and throws the round ball to the ground.

"Aww, gah!"

The wind blowing beast was thrown to the ground by the big dog, and immediately yelled aggrievedly.The big dog grabbed its neck, picked it up from the ground, and sent it to Qi Yan like a prisoner.

Qi Yan squatted down, took the wind blowing beast from the big dog, and held it tightly in his arms to prevent this mischievous ball from running around again.

"Thank you, Big Dog."

Just as he was about to get up, Qi Yan suddenly thought that this big dog was a pet of a wealthy family and was well-trained. It must not be a whim to help, but it was inspired by its owner.

He looked around, and sure enough, he found a familiar figure standing by the river in the distance. It seemed to be the rich man he had seen under the street lamp before.

"Wow."

Qi Yan patted the big dog's head.His intuition told him that the owner of this Yanwei dog has been paying attention to the stalls of the restaurant, but he has always been hiding in the dark, unwilling to really show his face.

Qi Yan asked Yanwei Dog in a low voice: "Big Dog, who is your master, why didn't he come over?"

"Woo..." The big dog turned his head and was looking at the figure by the river.Qi Yan patted it on the head, "Big dog, take me there, please, I want to thank your master face to face."

The big dog hesitated for a while, then lowered his head, and slowly walked towards the figure.Qi Yan grabbed the struggling drum wind beast with both hands, and followed behind the big dog.However, before he could get closer, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of him, making a polite blocking gesture.

"Little brother, please stay still. This is my master's Yanwei dog, thank you for sending it back."

Qi Yan looked at the person in front of him.I saw that this man was still wearing an expensive and neat long gown in the hot summer night, with a polite and polite expression, presumably he had an extraordinary status.Qi Yan didn't insist on going, but bowed his hands and said: "Hello, thank you for the help of your master's Yanwei dog."

"You're welcome."

As the man said, he took the rope around the Flametail dog's neck and prepared to take it away.Qi Yan accidentally saw a figure in the distance making a gesture to this servant, and the man turned around again and smiled kindly at Qi Yan: "Oh, that's right. In another quarter of an hour, Luoxia Bay's The food competition is about to begin. Fourteen restaurants can bring your favorites and try them there."

Hearing his words, Qi Yan was slightly taken aback, and then came to his senses.He thanked the servant, turned around and walked back, he already guessed in his heart: the servant is very familiar with the name of the restaurant, his wealthy master should have some connection with the restaurant.What's more, this wealthy master asked Flametail Dog to come to help in order to get back Boss Lan's headband and wind beast, maybe it was Boss Lan's old acquaintance.

It's just that, so far, this nobleman has not come forward directly, but only provided help secretly. Presumably, there are some complicated ways in the relationship between the two.

But after thinking about it, this Boss Lan is handsome and is a well-known beauty boss in Luoxia Town. It is not surprising that he can attract such a noble person to help him secretly.Thinking of this, the corner of Qi Yan's mouth curled slightly, and he walked briskly towards the stall.

When he returned to the restaurant's booth, he found that there was a huge crowd of people, and all kinds of delicious snacks, fried rice, etc. were selling hotly.Qi Yan hurriedly told Boss Lan about the gourmet arena that he heard from the servant.Boss Lan thought for a while, bowed his hands to the enthusiastic tourists in front of him, and said softly: "Thank you all customers for your love for our restaurant. We will go to the riverside to participate in the food competition in a while. Welcome guests to come and watch. Please also vote for the [-] restaurants who like our pine nut snacks and fried rice."

"Hey, the food competition is about to start? This is the highlight of the Lantern Festival!"

"Then let's go quickly! If it's late, we can only stand in the back row. There are too many people to see!"

The tourists chatted about it.Seeing that the time was approaching, the vendors around were already packing up quickly, and the tourists also dispersed from the booths, rushing towards the final selection ring.

Qi Yan returned the hairband to Boss Lan, and Le Hong quietly came over and asked, "Boss, what is this food arena for? It won't be a martial arts competition, will it?"

Boss Lan tied up her long hair with a hair tie again, and said with a smile: "This is a fixed program of the Lantern Festival every year, and it is a food competition that all food stall owners in Luoxia Bay are eligible to participate in. When the time comes, each stall will Put out one of your favorite delicacies for the government officials to watch and taste, the officials and tourists cast their votes, and finally decide the only 'King of Food' tonight, and the winner can get rich rewards."

Lehong opened his eyes excitedly: "Then which delicacy will our restaurant take for the election? Is it jujube cake, pine nut cake, or this nearly sold out pine nut corn fried rice?"

Boss Lan smiled slightly.He stretched out his slender fingers and pointed firmly at the pot.

"Of course it's our special dish at the bottom of the box, pine nut shrimp and vanilla rice."
