After a one-night stand, human Jian Luo discovered she was pregnant, and the child she was carrying might not even be human...
In Star Year 25, all of humanity migrated to Dark Star, living i...
The room fell into silence.
Su Liang and his younger brother exchanged a glance; their eyes and thoughts clearly matched. Ultimately, Su Liang managed to maintain her composure, grasping the key point: "Luoluo, you haven't tried it, so how do you know it's delicious?"
Jian Luo said simply: "I have eaten it!"
“…”
Su Liang suppressed his curiosity. After all, his son had never had any relationship with the Dark Star people. Maybe he just had a special taste.
The younger brother was young and innocent, so he asked, "Brother, are you really going to work at Yuese?"
"Yes." Jian Luo calculated the balance in his account. "Don't worry. I'll take you to school to handle your transfer before I go to work."
Due to various reasons, the money and procedures for transferring were not in place, so Jian Luo decided to get everything done at once before he started working at Yuese.
Su Liang stood up: "Luoluo, do you want mom to go with you?"
Jian Luo shook his head: "No, I can go and take a look myself."
"Okay then." Su Liang didn't force it, but said to Jian Luo, "If you encounter any difficulties, tell your family."
Jian Luo responded: "I know."
He sat on the sofa in the living room and almost fell asleep while sitting there. Finally, his younger brother pushed him and said, "Brother, it's time to eat."
Jian Luo got up dazedly: "Okay."
As Su Liang brought out the food, he said, "Were you tired earlier? Why do you look a little tired these past two days?"
Jian Luoxin said, how could she not be tired?
That beast Lu Shifeng is so troublesome, who wouldn't be tired?
He shook his head. "Nothing serious. Maybe I was too busy recently."
Su Liang felt a little distressed. "If the work is too tiring, just take more rest. We have enough money at home. When I resigned last time, the base gave me 50,000 yuan in severance pay."
Normally, ordinary people would definitely not be able to afford this amount of money, but Su Liang's situation was slightly different. Because Lu Shifeng was here, they were really afraid that Su Liang's son would be involved with Jian Luo, so the base gave Su Liang double the severance pay.
Jian Luo rubbed his brows and said, "It's nothing serious. Don't worry. I just need to rest more."
Su Liang then nodded in relief.
The next day.
Today is the day Jian Luo takes his younger brother to go through the transfer procedures.
The weather in Dark Star is quite hot all year round. To take a bus from Anleyuan to the city, he had to get up early because there were only two buses a day.
The younger brother took two potato pancakes and gave one to him: "Brother, this is for you."
Jian Luo took it: "Thank you."
This time they were going to Philp College, a very famous private college on Dark Star. Although it said it accepted humans, it actually had never accepted any. There was no other reason, except that very few humans could afford the high tuition fees.
Jian Luo stood at the school gate and said to the security guard at the gate: "Please let us in."
The security guard asked him, "Excuse me, do you have a pass?"
"Yes," Jian Luo retrieved the information from the information bracelet: "I made an appointment online a long time ago."
The reservation certificate requires capital verification.
If the star points do not meet the tuition fee standards, a pass will not be issued. Having this certificate means that you are truly able to enroll.
The security guard tilted his head to take a look, then nodded: "Okay, come in."
Jian Luo thanked him.
As a private aristocratic college, those who can teach here must have certain abilities, and the quality of students is generally high.
“Knock, knock.”
Jian Luo knocked on the office door.
A male voice came from inside: "Please come in. Are you a student or parent who wants to transfer schools today?"
The younger brother gently pushed the door open.
Jian Luo led him in and said politely, "Hello, teacher. We are here to apply for transfer."
"Okay." The man stood up and pointed to the table in front. "Please fill out the form first. I'll take the student to take a temporary exam later. If the results are okay, we can go through the formalities."
Jane sat down on the chair and took the form: "Okay, thank you teacher."
He stretched out his hand to take the list. When the teacher handed it to him, his eyes paused on Jian Luo's slender white fingers, and his eyes flashed subtly.
Jian Luo found that he couldn't pull the paper, and looked up curiously: "Teacher?"
"Huh?" The teacher was stunned and quickly let go: "Oh, oh, fill in the form."
Jian Luo felt that the teacher was weird, but he didn't ask too many questions. He took the form and started filling it out. The teacher next to him was standing next to him and explaining the precautions to him.
at last.
Jian Sheng said, "Okay, teacher, I've remembered everything."
"Hmm." The teacher glanced at Jian Luo, who was filling out a form at the desk, and his eyes became meaningful: "Mr. Jian, what do you usually do for a living?"
Jian Luo was filling out the form and said casually: "Oh, I am usually a chef and cook."
The teacher nodded and said, "That's great. Where does Teacher Jian work? If I have time, I'll go and support her."
Jian Luo wisely held back: "You're too kind. It's just a small restaurant, not worth mentioning."
The teacher smiled and tactfully didn't ask any further questions.
Filling out the form was actually quite quick. After Jian Luo quickly filled out the form in his hand, he had basically nothing to do.
Jian Sheng was about to take a quiz, so he was just outside. Just as he turned a corner, he heard a group of students gossiping:
"Have you heard? The sacred tree in Dragon Valley has borne fruit."
"I know, I knew it a long time ago."
"Are you saying which adult has a cub?"
"Oh my god, it's been so many years since I had a cub. I've almost forgotten what a cub looks like."
"Woo woo woo, who is so lucky to have a cub."
“This is the hope of the world.”
Jian Luo listened with great interest. He was actually quite curious. How easy it was. Having a baby would mean hope to the world and a major contribution. It was really frustrating to compare yourself with others. He worked diligently as a cook, trying to make a living. Some people were really different. Having a baby was their life's work.
"Mr. Jane."
Someone called him from behind.
Jian Luo put away the lemon, turned around, and found that it was the teacher from before, so he said in a very good manner: "Teacher, what's wrong? Is there anything?"
The teacher smiled and said, "Mr. Jian, I want to talk to you about my brother."
Jian Luo quickly said, "Okay, okay."
"Yes." The teacher took him to sit in the pavilion nearby. "Our school is divided into two types: boarding students and day students. You know this, right?"
Jian Luo said, "I know."
He had already discussed it with Su Liang and decided to let his younger brother board here. This place was too far from Anleyuan, and the child would be tired from going back and forth and couldn't concentrate on studying.
The teacher smiled with a strange look in her eyes: "So, are you considering a single dormitory or a shared dormitory?"
Jian Luo was stunned.
Don't mention it, he really hadn't thought about this.
"It's true. It may sound unpleasant, but it's also for your brother's sake. If possible, you can live in a single room." The teacher said softly, "Some children from the Dark Star are not good at treating humans..."
Jian Luo asked, "How much is a single dormitory?"
The teacher said honestly, "It will cost about 30,000 star coins a month. It's fully equipped and there's a dedicated person in charge. You don't have to worry about the conditions."
Thirty thousand.
This amount of money is too huge.
Jian Luo's heart sank slightly, but when he thought of the faces of those Dark Star people, he hesitated again. Many children's inferiority complex and personality traits come from the pressure of classmates since childhood. He didn't want his younger brother to feel inferior because of his family and race in the future. He didn't want him to be treated differently because of economic problems, or even have to suffer the contempt of others.
If possible, he only hopes that Jian Sheng can live the life of a normal child.
After much deliberation, Jian Luo decided: "Teacher, let's get a single room."
The teacher smiled and said, "Okay, then come with me to go through the formalities. If everything goes well, you can enroll as soon as possible."
Jian Luo nodded: "Okay."
So the next thing he did was to go through various procedures and pay the money, and the star coins in the star card disappeared like water.
The teacher asked casually, "Does your family rely on you alone to make money?"
Jian Luo looked up in slight surprise.
"Sorry." The teacher smiled. "I saw on your profile card that you were a single parent, so I made this guess."
Jian Luo had nothing to hide: "Yeah, almost."
The teacher wanted to say something else, but Jian Luo didn't bother to listen. He always felt that this teacher had bad intentions, so he stood up and said, "The formalities are completed. I'll take my leave now."
The teacher was stunned, but still stood up to see him off.
Jian Luo bowed and saluted, then packed up his things and went out, and took his younger brother home to pack up and prepare for school.
Almost not long after he left, the teacher quickly opened the Jinjiang Live Network and took out the saved live video of Jian Luo to watch it, especially the parts where her hands were exposed, repeatedly magnifying and comparing them.
"That's right." The teacher pushed up his glasses. "It really is him."
The next day.
Jian Luo got up early.
Today he was going to Yuese to start work, and Su Liang got up earlier than him: "Luoluo, mom made some porridge, you can have some with me."
Jian Luo nodded: "Okay!"
He has always taught his mother how to cook. Now that the family's financial situation has improved a lot, Su Liang learns quickly and sometimes tries to cook by herself. Of course, when she has nothing to do, she prefers to do some handicrafts.
Jian Luo thought to himself that sometimes Su Liang was just sitting around at home with nothing to do, so he might as well start a live broadcast for her.
Moreover, Su Liang is very beautiful, with the air of an oriental beauty. If she takes good care of herself, she will be a beautiful anchor!
Thinking of this, Jian Luo took the initiative to suggest: "Mom, you can also use the live broadcast equipment when I go out to work."
Su Liang was stunned: "What?"
"Well, you can also live broadcast." Jian Luo thought about it and felt that it was right: "Don't you like embroidery at home? Although those are things from ancient Earth, I think they are very beautiful. You should promote them."
Su Liang shook his head: "I embroidered that for fun."
Jian Luo smiled: "Then just broadcast it for fun. The live broadcast equipment will collect dust anyway, and you can also broadcast it on Jinjiang. Jiangjiang is now preparing to develop sections other than food, and you are a perfect fit."
Su Liang was somewhat moved, but still felt inferior: "I'm just an old woman, who would want to see me?"
Jian Luo stretched out his voice: "Oh, Mom, no one wants to see you like this. Your son is so ugly that I dare not see anyone!"
Su Liang slapped him coquettishly and said, "That's just nonsense."
Although Jian Luo made the suggestion, Su Liang listened to it. She had actually been wanting to find a new job after resigning, but unfortunately humans were subject to too many restrictions, so she had no choice but to do housework and logistical work at home.
But it is really hard to implement.
The second child in the family is still studying, which also costs a lot of money. How can the whole family rely on Jian Luo, who has just become an adult, to earn money to support the family?
Thinking of this, Su Liang said, "Luoluo, before you go to work later, can you teach Mom how to live stream?"
Jian Luo was very straightforward: "Okay!"
He was very happy.
In fact, I don’t expect my mother to make money. I just hope that she can find a job and have her own small business to work hard. Only when people have the energy to work hard can they live a better life.
…
"Welcome to Moonlight!"
When Jian Luo came in, the greeter at the door startled him.
Jieyue came down from upstairs: "Luoluo, you're here?"
Jian Luo nodded: "I'm here to handle the entry procedures. I saw your notice said it was written today."
Jie Yue smiled: "You came at the perfect time. There's a commotion going on up ahead. I'll take you over there to take a look."
“…”
This clearly comes at the wrong time.
The chef of Yuese is named Ji. Ji Huaixi was standing in the kitchen with an angry look on his face, while the chefs opposite him lowered their heads and were being scolded.
When Jian came over, the atmosphere in the kitchen was filled with low pressure.
Jie Yue whispered in his ear, "There's a distinguished guest, one of the boss's most important clients, who specifically ordered tofu. But the tofu maker made a mistake last night and left it in a cool, well-ventilated place. Now it's all moldy and inedible."
Jian Luo nodded, not quite understanding.
Ji Huaixi, standing in front, with his hands behind his back, said harshly, "The boss's client this time is very important. You dare to make trouble at such a critical moment? I think you don't want to do this anymore!"
A chef fell to his knees with a thud: "Teacher, teacher, I was really wrong. I thought it would be fine. I thought it would be fine for one night!"
There was a low pressure in the kitchen.
The manager in front came over and said, "Mr. Ji, the boss just wrote to let us know that he will be here this afternoon. How are things going here?"
Ji Huaixi's expression was not good: "Something went wrong."
"Ouch." The manager didn't know what to say. "Mr. Ji, you have to fix this quickly. I heard the boss's customers are quite picky. If we make any mistakes, you know the boss's temper..."
Ji Huaixi said in a deep voice: "I understand, you can go back first."
The manager then sighed and left.
After he left, the low pressure in the room returned and no one dared to speak. After all, tofu could not be made so quickly, and no one except Yue Se had figured out how to make tofu.
Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.
suddenly.
Jian Luo took two steps forward: "How about I give it a try?"
As soon as the words fell, almost instantly, everyone's eyes fell on Jian Luo, and all of them had different looks.
It was more of a disdain after discovering that this was a human.
Ji Huaixi turned around and said in a deep voice, "Are you the newcomer, Jian Luo?"
Jian Luo nodded: "Yes."
"You just said you were coming." Ji Huaixi looked down at him and said, "Young man, don't be too arrogant. Don't be too confident."
Someone nearby echoed:
"That's right, it's all broken, what else can you do?"
"Are all humans so arrogant?"
"You don't have to be so busy trying to be in the spotlight."
Jian Luo listened to them quietly and said calmly: "I said to try, but I didn't say it will definitely work. Why are you so excited?"
The room suddenly fell silent. No one expected that this human being could be so stubborn.
Ji Huaixi narrowed his eyes: "Can you really do it?"
"Yeah." Jian Luo nodded, still respecting the master chef: "But I can't make normal tofu, you can try making stinky tofu."
Everyone looked at each other.
Jian Luo rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Did the other party ask for any kind of tofu?"
Ji Huaixi shook his head slowly: "Normally, we boil the tofu, but it's probably too late to do it now."
"Hmm." Jian Luo touched his chin: "Well, you guys should continue to make a tray of tofu. I'll try to make stinky tofu first. If it works, that's great. If not..."
Someone hummed in the back:
"Stinky tofu? I've never heard of it."
"I don't think the chances of success are high."
"It's better not to let humans mess around, Master."
Ji Huaixi narrowed his eyes and finally said, "Okay, I can let you try."
Jian Luo smiled slightly.
"But." Ji Huaixi raised his head: "If you fail, all your salary for today will be deducted."
You're going too far!
Jian Luo didn't expect that he was just trying to help, and if he failed, his salary would be deducted: "Then, can I not try? Will my salary not be deducted?"
Kaiyue almost laughed out loud.
She felt that Jian Luo was a really interesting person. Sometimes she felt that he was really powerful, but sometimes he would become timid very quickly.
Ji Huaixi said calmly: "No."
Jian Luo was wilting, and could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I'll try."
Making stinky tofu is a huge project. He had done it before when he was bored on Earth. He walked over to take a look at the tofu. It was moldy in the drawer, and there were white fungi and a little black. It was fermented very well. If nothing unexpected happened, the stinky tofu should be very fragrant.
Jian Luo smiled at Tofu: "That's great."
Others: “…”
You might have a cat disease.
Because making stinky tofu is a big project, Jieyue was assigned to help Jianluo. She asked, "How should we do it?"
Jian Luo said: "This has been fermented. It can be fried after a simple processing."
Jieyue thought it was quite magical: "Is it really edible? It's already hairy and looks really smelly. Don't be so boastful."
"It's edible." Jian Luo took the tofu off the tongs. "This is naturally fermented. It's quite good and saves trouble."
Jie Yue smiled: "How do you know so much?"
Jian Luo paused. Logically speaking, as a human, his condition didn't seem to allow him to know so much. In a flash, he thought of an excuse: "I watch a lot of live broadcasts. Some anchors have tried it. I saw it."
Jie Yue blinked: "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Jian Luo put the tofu on the shelf: "Is there any oil?"
Jie Yue said yes. Ever since Jian Luo’s potatoes, popcorn and other foods became popular, guests coming to the hotel would order them, and their chefs would also try to make them, but they always felt that no matter how they cooked, they could not get the taste of Jian Luo’s.
In Ji Huaixi's words, it's just a little bit off.
While Jian Luo was waiting for the oil to heat up, many busy chefs around him would look at him from time to time with curious glances.
Jie Yue said, "The oil is hot."
"Um."
Jian Luo used a long ladle to put the stinky tofu into the oil and fried it. After a while, the white tofu with mycelium entered the oil, and it was surrounded by a golden glow and made a sizzling sound.
Jie Yue was beside him: "It's so hot."
Jian Luo nodded: "Stay away from it, in case the oil splashes out and burns you."
Jie Yue took two steps back.
Jian Luo put all the tofu in, which overturned the traditional way of making tofu. Jie Yue was a little skeptical, and others couldn't believe it.
A young chef came up to Ji Huaixi and said, "Master."
Ji Huaixi was making high-end barbecue and said without even turning his head: "Yeah."
"This Jian Luo is so arrogant." The young chef said softly, "He has no skills at all. He must be a relative. All the chefs who come in here are talented. People like him cannot be tolerated."
Ji Huaixi said calmly: "Whether it works or not, we'll see after he makes it."
The young chef was unconvinced: "Master, the tofu is spoiled, how can it be made? Are you going to let him mess around?"
He knew that Ji Huaixi hated those with connections the most.
Especially someone like Jian Luo who has no real talent but is still ambitious.
Before Ji Huaixi could say anything, Jie Yue's voice came from behind: "Oh my god, it stinks!"
Jian Luo said softly: "Stay away, it's hot here."
Almost instantly, all the chefs looked over. Although no one came over, everyone in the kitchen was actually paying attention to this side.
The tofu in the pot had gradually begun to smell bad from being fried, and the smell made many chefs cover their mouths and noses.
"Is this for the guests?"
“Can we serve this to guests?”
"God, it's better to pour it out."
Everyone was talking about it, and even the usually calm Ji Huaixi came over and asked, "What's going on?"
Jian Luo put down the ladle in his hand and said to him, "I'm frying stinky tofu. It's not done yet. Please wait a moment."
Ji Huaixi finally asked what everyone wanted to ask: "Are you sure this is edible?"
Jian Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm sure."
"That's great." Ji Huaixi nodded, but did not continue to question: "Just received news from the front that the guests will arrive earlier than expected, be prepared."
Jian Luo nodded: "Yes."
Jieyue whispered beside him, "Luoluo, you must succeed."
Jian Luo was very steady: "I'll try my best."
Because a distinguished guest would be arriving soon, the entire kitchen was very busy, and Jian Luo was naturally not idle either. Since he said he wanted to give it a try, it actually meant that he had to be 100% successful.
Soon, the color of the tofu gradually took shape, and at this time, the stench had already drifted away.
The manager came over after smelling the smell and said, "Oh, is something fried in here? What's that smell?"
The other chefs all looked at Jian Luo at the same time.
The manager walked over and asked, "What are you cooking? Is this for the guests?"
Jie Yue quickly stepped forward and said, "Manager, this is a new dish we developed. It's okay, you can eat it without worry."
"I'm relieved?" The manager was particularly worried now. "Please stop making trouble. We have an important guest coming today, and the boss has repeatedly warned us not to be careless."
The fact that a distinguished guest of this level has to be repeatedly emphasized shows how noble his status is.
Ji Huaixi came over: "Can you cook?"
The manager was stunned: "No."
"Then just take care of your own business." Ji Huaixi said calmly: "I will take care of my own people."
The manager was scolded and choked up, "Then hurry up."
In Yuese, there are also open and secret struggles. The chef faction actually has a very high status, especially chefs like Ji Huaixi, but managers and other service factions are naturally unwilling to be outdone. They are also high-paid white-collar workers, and since they can't win against them, they always want to come over and disgust you from time to time.
Ji Huaixi said calmly: "No need to see you off."
The manager turned and left angrily.
Jie Yue stood behind Ji Huaixi, feeling a little worried: "Master..."
Ji Huaixi turned around indifferently and said to the people busy in the kitchen, "Go do what you need to do."
Then everyone dispersed.
After a while, Jian Luo's stinky tofu was finally finished. He took a piece out of the pot and blew on it gently.
Jie Yue was beside him, very eagerly asking, "Is it really edible?"
Jian Luo smiled: "It shouldn't have failed."
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
Jieyue was standing by, eagerly waiting to eat the stinky tofu.
The other chefs also cast glances at him, whether good or bad, with whatever intentions.
finally.
Jian Luo took a bite of it first. He chewed it, savored it, and then took salt from the shelf at the back and sprinkled another layer on it.
After a while, when the flavor had absorbed him, he took another bite.
Jie Yue was full of anticipation: "Can I eat now?"
Jian Luo shook his head: "Let the master try it first."
…
Ji Huaixi stood not far away without moving. Jian Luo personally walked over with the plate and chopsticks, and said respectfully, "Please try it."
Ji Huaixi was quite satisfied with his understanding, so he picked up the chopsticks and brought it to his mouth to take a bite. The stinky tofu smelled very bad and could not enter his nose, but when he bit into his mouth, he could smell a very strong fragrance. The texture was soft and crispy, and there was the aroma of the tofu soup, which was wonderful.
The entire kitchen was staring at Ji Huaixi.
They were all waiting for Ji Huaixi to get angry or criticize Jian Luo.
But no, nothing.
Ji Huaixi calmly put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Not bad."
A smile spread across Jian Luo's face: "Thank you, Master."
"I'm their master, not yours." Ji Huaixi said calmly: "Just call me Mr. Ji."
Jian Luo nodded: "Okay, Mr. Ji."
Because there were still some dishes that had not been prepared, Jian Luo simply went over to help. The good thing about the Dark Star people was that their kitchen was very large, more than enough space to walk around in, and there was no smoke. There were adsorption factors around that would absorb the smoke the moment it came out.
It's not noisy and the kitchen is clean and comfortable.
Jie Yue came over and said, "Can I taste it? It smells so bad. I'm so curious."
"I'll make it for you later." Jian Luo put the plate back: "Now these are for the guests. Mr. Ji just agreed to give them to the guests to try."
Jieyue really admires Jian Luo.
The chefs who were waiting to see the joke just now were silent now, especially those who had spoken earlier, who were now more obedient than the other.
Jian Luo said to Jie Yue, "What can I do here?"
Jie Yue waved her hand: "You don't actually need to cook here. The section you are responsible for is not ours."
"Then what am I responsible for?"
"I don't know. The boss didn't tell me. He told you to stay here on standby." Jie Yue said honestly, "I'll come find you when I need you."
???
It was the same when I was in the military.
This familiar working pattern is frightening.
Jian Luo swore that he wanted to find a normal job instead of just firing himself while working for nothing.
Jian Luo hesitated and said, "Do you know what your boss wants me to do?"
"I don't know." Jie Yue answered honestly.
The two of them walked to the back of the kitchen. Suddenly, they heard a dog barking, and a large white dog jumped out from behind. It was very big and came with a fierce momentum, and it seemed that it wanted to pounce on Jian Luo.
Jie Yue exclaimed: "Luoluo!"
Jian Luo's eyes widened, and he was so shocked that he couldn't move. Just when he thought he was going to be in trouble, the big white dog suddenly howled, and when it was about to touch Jian Luo, it turned its head and hid, as if it had seen some ferocious beast.
"Awooo, awooo."
The little white dog couldn't wait for Jian Luo to leave.
Jie Yue was stunned: "What happened to Xiaobai?"
Jian Luo was also quite frightened: "Is this your pet? Can you keep pets in the kitchen?"
Jie Yue quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, no, it's not a pet. It's a food detection dog. If the food entering the hotel is poisonous or tampered with, Xiaobai will come out as soon as he smells it. It's here every day to ensure the safety of food coming in and out."
Jian Luo nodded gently: "Then it is hostile to me?"
Xiaobai seemed to understand what people were saying and continued to howl while shrinking behind the door. Jian Luo looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"I don't think it seems like it's hostile to you." Jieyue explained to him, "Xiaobai is actually quite brave. He was a Tengu handpicked by the boss himself. He can walk around here like a tyrant. He's not afraid of anyone and only listens to the boss."
Jian Luo said: "Then what happened to it?"
Jie Yue sighed: "I don't think it has any hostility towards you. It seems a little afraid of you."
Jian Luo pointed at himself and said, "Afraid of me? You must be joking. It's a dog that even you guys aren't afraid of, so how could it be afraid of a human like me?"
Jieyue also scratched his head in confusion: "Yeah, it's very strange, it shouldn't be like this, Xiaobai is a Tengu clan, they are not afraid of humans, the only thing they are afraid of is the dragon clan, the dragon clan is the nemesis of the Tengu."
Jian Luo said: "I am not a dragon."
"Or maybe you have something of the dragon clan on you?" Jie Yue looked over and said, "I also feel it's a bit strange. I feel that your aura is a little different, but I can't tell where it is different."
There was a sound of "Awoo, Awoo" next to Xiaobai. If someone could understand what Tengu was saying, then it probably meant:
(Smell of dragon, the whole body smells like dragon, and it’s the scariest dragon. Go away, go away. Woo woo woo, I’m going to have a nightmare tonight. Awoo woo woo)
Jian Luo also felt strange when looking at Xiaobai, and finally had to explain: "I used to work in the military. Maybe I stayed with the dragon clan, so the aura didn't dissipate."
“…”
This explanation is too far-fetched.
Jieyue was a little confused: "Aren't you a chef? Are you also responsible for feeding the dragons? And I heard that the military's dragons are not allowed to be seen by ordinary people. Luoluo, you are really amazing!"
Jian Luo was also dumbfounded: "So not everyone can see the dragon clan?"
"What do you think?" Jie Yue scratched his head. "The dragon clan is very hostile to outsiders entering their territory. When you were with the dragon, did you ever see anyone else around?"
…
Jian Luo recalled it carefully, and it seemed that there really wasn't anything!
The other side.
Nie Yan, the boss of Yue Se, was sitting in the car with the legendary important client, his face expressionless. If it weren't for the fact that the person next to him was very valuable, he would have stopped serving him long ago.
The little emperor, who finally managed to leave the palace, was extremely excited. Sitting in the car, he kept shouting, "I'm so happy to be able to go out for a rare opportunity. I've heard about Yuese's delicious food for a long time. Oh, yes, I heard that some snacks seem to be popular recently. I wonder where I can eat them. Oh, I remember Yuese also recently released a tofu soup. I must try it."
Nie Yan continued perfunctorily, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Everything you mentioned has already been arranged and prepared."
The little emperor finally felt relieved. He played with the box in his hand and asked, "The emperor's uncle should come to have dinner with me, right? When will he come?"
"The Marshal has been quite busy these days." Nie Yan continued to answer him dutifully, "I've contacted him, and he said he would definitely come over to have dinner with Your Majesty."
The little emperor then nodded.
Soon, Yuese arrived. To welcome this legendary distinguished guest, Yuese was closed today. In order to serve this only distinguished guest well, a red carpet was laid out for dozens of meters. The welcoming waiters said in unison: "Welcome to Yuese."
The little emperor was used to big scenes, so he was not bothered by such a display and remained almost expressionless throughout the journey.
Nie Yan led him to the second floor and sat down. From there, they could enjoy the best view of Sky City. He said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I'll have the food served."
The little emperor was very excited: "Okay."
Nie Yan gave the manager a look, and the manager quickly ran to the back and shouted, "Serve the food now! The guests are here."
Waiters came in one after another carrying all kinds of delicious food, and the aroma of the food gradually filled the hall.
The little emperor looked around and asked, "Where's the new tofu we developed?"
Nie Yan looked at the manager.
The manager quickly said, "Here it comes, this is the last dish."
Jie Yue came in from the back holding a plate. In order to prevent the smell from emitting too early, she covered the entire dish with a large silver lid, adding a bit of mystery.
The little emperor was very excited: "It looks really good, it must be delicious."
Jie Yue gave an awkward but polite smile and opened the lid. When the lid slowly opened, a terrible stench spread out.
“…”
For a moment, the hall fell silent.
It was thanks to the good manners of the young emperor that he did not overturn the table immediately, and it was also thanks to Nie Yan that he did not want to lose his composure in front of the emperor and did not get angry.
The little emperor was silent: "Is this for human consumption?"
Nie Yan's voice also turned colder: "I informed you in advance that this was a distinguished guest. Did you not take my words seriously?"
Jie Yue was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "My Lord, please don't be angry. This is indeed a dish. Why don't you try it first? If it doesn't taste good, I will punish you later."
The little emperor and Nie Yan looked at each other.
Nie Yan took the initiative and said, "Let me try."
"No need." The little emperor showed some interest. "Let me try it. Since she said it's a dish, I'll try it."
The little emperor picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He was just trying it out, but the moment the stinky tofu entered his mouth, his eyes lit up. For no other reason, it was just too fragrant! The fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth. It smelled stinky, but the moment it entered his mouth, it was as if he was transported into a wonderful world!
"Delicious!" The little emperor immediately decided: "Send your chef to see me."
Jie Yue was stunned: "You want to see him?"
The little emperor nodded: "Isn't it possible?"
Jie Yue looked at Nie Yan. After all, he was her boss, and she couldn't make the decision on such matters.
Nie Yan raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Let him come over."
Jie Yue bowed and replied, "Yes."
So the girl went back and told Jian Luo about this matter, and pulled Jian Luo aside: "Luoluo, you can go over there later. Don't worry. The younger one is our client, and the one on the other side is our boss, Nie Yan. If they ask any questions, just tell them whatever you want!"
Jian Luo was very calm: "I know, I'm not worried."
He walked from the back to the front and saw Nie Yan and the little emperor sitting there. He was stunned at first sight.
The little emperor waved at him and said, "You must be the chef. Come here."
Jian Luo came over: "Are you dissatisfied with the food?"
"No, I'm very satisfied." The little emperor raised his head modestly. "I just want to ask, how did you come up with the idea of eating tofu this way?"
Jian Luo does not intend to live
