Chapter 1

Before noon, the braised dishes in the stone pot were sold out.

Neighbors who came to buy braised dishes could only watch Jiang Qi struggling to fish in the big pot, but he couldn't even get out a chicken heart or a duck gizzard, and finally returned home disappointed.

Boss Wang didn't even open the store, he just closed it and lent the scale to Jiang Qi. Anyway, the stewed dishes in his store couldn't be sold, so he might as well go home and study how to pair the whole family bucket meal he bought in the morning with rice and noodles.

Although the stewed dishes were sold out, there were still nearby residents who came looking for them because of the smell. Jiang Qi could only post a note at the door saying that the stewed dishes were sold out today and asked to come back tomorrow.

After posting the note, Jiang Qi went out to look for a large wooden lid to cover the stone pot.

The aroma of the marinade in this stone pot is too strong. If we don’t cover the pot with a lid, the guests who have made appointments to eat in the afternoon will not be able to enjoy it.

Imagine, you are playing a mystery book while smelling the rich aroma of stewed food, but you can smell it but cannot eat it. You were originally thinking about how this secret room was formed, but then you started to wonder what stewed food to buy later? Chicken wings? Duck feet? Duck heads? Duck necks? Or both?

Why bother with this? Just order the braised food for takeout.

It is difficult to find a large wooden pot lid that can cover a stone pot of this caliber. This kind of wooden pot lid is used to cover large water tanks and large pots on earthen stoves in the countryside, and it is difficult to buy it in the city.

Jiang Qi ran around the vegetable market, the flea market and the furniture store like a headless fly. Finally, with the help of Jiang Xiaohong, he found an old man who made some woven and wooden products at home when he had nothing to do. He bought a sturdy wooden pot lid of the right size for 188 yuan.

After buying the pot lid, Jiang Qi asked a local courier to send it back to the store. He then went to the vegetable market and bought nearly 100 kilograms of various offal. He also left the stall owner's phone number so that he could call the stall owner directly to deliver the goods when he needed them in the future.

Since Jiang Qi bought a lot, the stall owner said that he could deliver the goods to his door this time and could also take Jiang Qi along.

"Boss Jiang, where is your shop?" the son of the meat stall owner asked cheerfully.

"Do you know the food alley in the old town?"

"You know, that alley with Chen Ji's Braised Food, right? Boss Jiang, why did you open your store there? I remember there were a lot of braised food stores there, so the competition must be fierce." The son of the meat stall owner was obviously not very good at speaking.

Jiang Qi didn't care, since he didn't run a braised food shop anyway.

Jiang Qi didn't respond.

"Boss Jiang, which part of the alley is your store located in? That alley is quite long."

"Over there at the alley entrance to the fruit shop, it's the Xinghe Script Society. The sign is easy to spot."

Stall owner’s son:?

Script club?

The stall owner's son said, "I know a lot, don't lie to me. I know what a script club is, and I've played a script-killing game once." Not to mention that a script-killing store in the city went viral two days ago, as if it had caught a fugitive or something.

Wait, Galaxy Script Society?

"Is this the script shop that is said to have frightened that fugitive named What into unconsciousness?" the stall owner's son exclaimed in shock.

Jiang Qi: ...

It turns out that their store has become a legendary store.

"Yes." Jiang Qi nodded calmly and said modestly: "I've been doing a little side job recently."

The stall owner's son showed great respect to Jiang Qi.

The boss of the legendary script-killing shop has been on the hot search. He is so hardworking that he has started a small sideline business besides normal business and started selling braised dishes. What reason does he have not to work hard? !

Wait, why is the side business of the script-killing shop selling braised dishes?

Has the script-killing store business become so complicated these days?

.

When Jiang Qi took the electric tricycle of the meat stall owner's son back to the script store, Huang Fugui and others had already arrived at the store.

The three were studying the brine in the stone pot.

"It must be a marinade ingredient used to make braised dishes!" The knowledgeable Huang Fugui said he knew what it was.

Of course, it’s mainly through smell, and my broad knowledge also depends on the support of my peers.

Wang Erya and Old John didn't recognize it and couldn't smell it.

These two people have hardly eaten braised food, so it's normal that they don't know.

Wang Erya curiously used chopsticks to carefully dip a little marinade, watching the dark marinade drip back into the stone pot: "So the boss came over last night and used this to make braised dishes?"

"Where is the cooked braised food?" Wang Erya fished around with a colander but found nothing.

Jiang Qi said that the prepared braised dishes are in the stomachs of his neighbors.

"We accidentally sold out all the braised dishes this morning." Jiang Qi explained as he moved in over a hundred pounds of animal offal in batches.

"Boss, are the braised dishes you cook delicious?" Wang Erya asked curiously. Huang Fugui and Old John also looked at Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi nodded proudly. Although the braised dish had nothing to do with him, he was the one who pulled out the card and poured the internal organs into the pot. In short, he was the one who made it!

"certainly!"

“Delicious!”

Then Jiang Qi poured the unprocessed offal into the pot in front of the three people, as quickly and violently as possible.

Old John:?

Wang Erya:? ?

Huang Fugui: ???

Old John said that although he is an old foreign man with amnesia and doesn't know how to cook very well, he has the most basic knowledge of cooking skills.

Jiang Qi's way of making braised dishes doesn't look like it's for human consumption.

Wang Erya was shocked why the boss didn't cook the internal organs but poured them into the pot raw. Do people here like to eat raw pickled meat?

Huang Fugui, who has the best cooking skills among the three and also has the most profound understanding of how food is prepared, has had all his previous cognitions overturned.

Then the marinade in the stone pot began to bubble.

[The Necromancer's Stone Pot] started working.

Wang Erya's mouth was shaped like an O.

"Wow, boss, this pot of yours is amazing! It doesn't need to be plugged in, and it doesn't need firewood. It can cook by itself!"

It might be because once the [Necromancer's Stone Pot] is summoned, it will not occupy a card slot and cannot be upgraded. It is equivalent to not being a card but a physical object. The three people's perception of it is particularly poor. If Jiang Qi hadn't said it, they would not have realized that this pot was actually a card like them.

"This is the special card I drew." Jiang Qi explained to the three people, "Automatic stew pot, just prepare the stew ingredients according to the recipe, pour in the animal's internal organs, and wait for 8 hours and it will be ready."

"This is a product of the magical world."

Wang Erya was completely stunned. She touched the stone pot carefully and asked, "Boss, after you left yesterday, I wiped it inside and out with a rag. Sister Lanlan told me that this was a prop you bought. I thought it was a decoration, so I wiped it with a table rag. It won't be angry, right?"

Wang Erya thought that this pot was a living creature with thoughts just like herself, except that her appearance was that of a human, while this pot's appearance was that of a pot.

She thought the stone pot was a monster.

Jiang Qi: "…Probably not."

If the stone pot could get angry, it should have jumped up and smashed Jiang Qi to death when Jiang Qi called it an automatic stewing pot.

Jiang Qi poured all the internal organs in, filling the stone pot to the brim, and was very careful when it was bubbling for fear that it would splash out.

It’s okay. This pot is quite clean.

"By the way, how many games are there this afternoon?"

"Three shows, all scheduled for three o'clock." Huang Fugui said.

Jiang Qi looked at the time. It was already half past two. Qin Can was seriously late today.

Speak of the devil, here he comes. Just as Jiang Qi was about to send a message to Qin Can, Qin Can arrived.

Qin Can came with the courier.

"Ah, is this the courier from our store? Oh, your surname is Jiang, right? It's from our store, and should have been bought by our boss." Qin Can took the wooden cover from the courier boy and brought it in.

"Boss, why did you buy such a big wooden lid? Is it a prop for the new book?" Qin Can asked.

Jiang Qi winked at Old John and Huang Fugui, and the two of them stood in front of the stone pot in tacit understanding.

"Oh, yes, it's a new prop. Qin Can, help me wash it, I need to use it now."

"Okay." Qin Can didn't notice the bubbling stone pot, and went upstairs holding the wooden lid to wash it.

Five minutes later, Qin Can came down holding the lid that she had brushed absolutely clean.

"Hey, is anyone buying braised food today? Is there a new braised food store opened in our alley? I smelled it when I walked in, it smells so good! The smell in the store is even better than outside. Did you grab it, boss?" Qin Can handed the lid to Jiang Qi with anticipation.

Jiang Qi took the lid and covered the stone pot with lightning speed, and the fragrance instantly faded.

Qin Can:?!

"It's not that we got it, it's that we're sold out." Jiang Qi said, "To be honest, I've been secretly researching how to make braised dishes recently, and now I've mastered it. From today on, our store will not only sell vegetable noodles, but also braised dishes."

Qin Can:!

"Really?" Qin Can was extremely surprised. "Is the benefit for new employees in our store to eat unlimited braised dishes?!"

Jiang Qi: ...

Aren’t you curious about how I secretly researched braised dishes and how I secretly became so successful?

You don't question the nonsense I just said, right?

"Yes." Jiang Qi nodded affirmatively, "You can eat as much braised food as you want."

"Great! Long live the boss!"
