Hearing the ghost's voice, Shi Xi curled his eyes, put down the bottle of butter sauce, and said very naturally: "So pineapple needs to be soaked in salt water, then how to make butter sauce?"

"Butter is delicious when used to make fried rice." A cold hand pressed on Shi Xi's shoulder. She felt someone standing behind her, saying in a low voice, "Let me teach you how to make it."

Shi Xi looked back and saw a cloud of smoke suspended in the air, with nothing on her shoulders.

"Okay," she said without a trace of surprise, and even invited me warmly: "Since you are here, sit down and chat slowly."

Hearing the "OK", Gui Wu suddenly shuddered. He remembered the girl who hit him with a paper plane last night and who had promised him in the same relaxed tone before doing so.

The girl in front of him looked different from that man, but had the same dangerous aura. His intuition told him that he must not sit down and that he had to run away quickly!

The ghost fog didn't even dare to think about the butter fried rice, and floated towards the kitchen door, ready to leave this place of trouble.

Shi Xi calmly put down the butter sauce in his hand and clapped his hands: "Where are you going?"

As soon as he finished speaking, floating golden talismans suddenly appeared around the courtyard, surrounding the kitchen.

Gui Wu couldn't find a way to leave, he hurriedly drilled towards the ground, but was caught by a talisman that suddenly appeared!

The ghost fog was revealed to its original form by the talisman light. It turned out to be a man in chef's clothes. Half of his body was solid and the other half was virtual. The solid side had a pale and wrinkled complexion, while the virtual side was a ball of smoke that could be blown away at any time.

Shi Xi had long known that this ghost was good at hiding his aura and had an excellent escape speed, so after entering the courtyard, she used talismans to set up a dragnet, and then - lured the ghost into the trap.

Most of the ghosts who stay in the human world have obsessions and desires in their hearts. This is the reason for their existence, but also their weakness. Shi Xi seized the ghost chef's weakness and easily led him into the trap.

Shi Xi took out a plate of watermelon from the refrigerator, walked to the ghost chef, and sat down cross-legged: "Since you like sitting here, let's chat here."

Ghost Chef: “…” No, I don’t like it at all.

Shi Xi peeled off the plastic wrap, took out a piece of watermelon, and asked casually, "You know Director Cen, right? Why are you following him?"

The ghost chef stared at the melon in her hand and swallowed: "Because I feel unfair."

The ghost chef's mind has drifted to the melon. The watermelon skin is as thin as paper, the melon husk looks sandy, and there is not a single seed on it. It is clearly a gratitude melon, and it must be extremely sweet!

Shi Xi tilted his head: "Why are you looking at my melon?"

The ghost chef looked eager: "This melon looks sweet."

Shi Xi: "Do you want to eat?"

The ghost chef nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining: "I want to eat, I want to eat!"

"You can eat if you want." Shi Xi took out a stick of incense from his bag: "Tell me about your grievances, and I'll ask you to eat melon."

The ghost chef said seriously: "As long as you give me melon to eat, you can let me say whatever you want."

Foodies are the easiest to deal with.

Shi Xi lit a stick of incense, inserted it into a piece of watermelon, and placed it in front of the ghost chef. After calling out the name and birth date that the ghost chef had given, a piece of watermelon appeared in the ghost chef's hand.

He looked at the watermelon in his hand, and tears welled up in his eyes: "When the program was being recorded yesterday, I hid beside and watched. I could smell the aroma of the food, but I couldn't cook it, and I couldn't eat it."

Shi Xi said generously: "Eat it, there's more."

The ghost chef blinked away his tears and finished a bite of ice watermelon. He put down the clean rind and sighed, "During the preparation of "Evening Canteen", we planned to select four permanent chefs, and I was originally one of them."

Shi Xi nodded: "What happened later?"

"A week before the show was recorded, I..." The ghost chef slumped his shoulders and lowered his head, "died of a sudden heart attack. It was so sudden that I didn't even know I was dead. By the time I realized it, I had followed the director to the recording site. I followed them to record the show, and then I found that there was an extra chef."

The ghost chef smiled bitterly. "Not long ago, I heard two staff members talking about me. My self-deceiving illusions were shattered. They couldn't see me at all. I was the extra one. So where should I go?"

Shi Xi narrowed his eyes in understanding: "So you want everyone to see you."

"That's right," the ghost chef raised his head, "but the guest named Xiao Shi disrupted my plan. She has several spirits following her. If she senses my presence, she might attack me. I endured for a whole day before I found the right opportunity, but I haven't even started cooking yet..."

"She chased me away." The ghost chef wiped away his bitter tears.

"..." Shi Xi: "You're causing trouble and you're still feeling wronged?"

The ghost chef didn't dare to cry anymore. He moved his Adam's apple nervously: "The more I look at you, the more I think you look a bit like that guest."

Shi Xi was afraid that he would reveal her identity when he met Director Cen, so she lied, "The guest you mentioned is my junior sister."

"No wonder the methods you used are so similar." The ghost chef had no doubts at all. After explaining what happened, he started staring at the melon again: "Can I have another piece of melon?"

"Eat." Shi Xi handed him the whole plate of melon.

As the ghost chef ate, he felt the resentment in his heart fading. He said strangely, "I don't know why, but I'm not so obsessed with letting the living see me, and I don't want to record the show. I'm going to die, so why should I bother about these things? As long as I can eat a bite of sweet watermelon, my ghost life is enough."

Shi Xi knew why he had let it go, because she had drawn two talismans on the floor. One was a talisman that drew the ground as a prison, which could imprison vengeful spirits, and the other was a "talisman that let it go" that she had improved, which could help liberate vengeful spirits.

Use them in combination for better results.

By the time he finished a plate of melon, the ghost chef no longer wanted to run away.

Shi Xi tore off a plastic bag, put the ghost chef's soul in it, tied a knot, and drew a talisman on the bulging bag.

She clutched the plastic bag and walked towards the B&B, shouting, "Director Cen, you can come out now."

After a while, the door of the B&B opened, and Assistant Director Cen stuck his head out. He could not see the talisman array hanging in the air, but he felt that the air was different from before, and he felt comfortable all over.

Assistant Director Cen asked cautiously, "Master, have you caught the ghost? Is it safe outside?"

"It's safe." Shi Xi hooked his finger and removed the talisman light array.

Director Cen's assistant felt that the mysterious atmosphere had disappeared, and felt something was awe-inspiring.

He opened the door and invited Director Cen and Brother Shu to come out.

"Master Wuyou, it's only been a short while, and you've solved it?" Director Cen looked around, a little worried: "Can you prove it to me?"

Shi Xi asked him: "Do you still remember Zhou Pin?"

"This name sounds familiar. Let me think about it."

Director Cen frowned in thought, but his assistant thought of the answer before him: "Chef Zhou! I remember him. He was originally the candidate for the chef of the evening canteen, but he passed away due to illness before the recording of the program. I also went to his funeral on behalf of the program team to lay flowers."

Director Cen also remembered. He looked at Shi Xi in surprise and said, "Master Wuyou, are you saying that the ghost that's haunting me is Chef Zhou?"

"Exactly."

Director Cen slapped his thigh, as if he remembered something, and said excitedly: "It turned out to be him. No wonder I felt his voice was familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was! I had very little contact with this Chef Zhou. To me, his death was an accident at work. The planning team quickly found a backup chef to replace him. I have no intersection with Chef Zhou since then. Why did he pester me? His death has nothing to do with me!"

"So he didn't kill you. He just felt so sorry that he followed you to continue recording the show." Shi Xi held up the plastic bag to show him: "Chef Zhou's soul is in the bag. I will take him back to pray for his soul to rest in peace."

Upon hearing that there was a ghost in the plastic bag, Director Cen and his companions all took a few steps back.

"Since Director Cen wants me to prove that the matter has been resolved," Shi Xi paused and said, "Chef Zhou, do you have anything else to say to Director Cen before you leave?"

A cloud of black mist appeared in the plastic bag and transformed into a ghost face that was stuck to the plastic. The ghost face's mouth opened and closed, and it greeted, "Director Cen."

To Shi Xi and the Ghost Chef, this was just a friendly greeting.

But for the three ordinary people present, this eerie and hoarse cry was like a ghost, which frightened them so much that they huddled together.

Director Cen turned his eyes away, not daring to look at the ghost face in the plastic bag again. He said to Shi Xi tremblingly, "Master Wuyou, it's enough, it's enough. I believe you. You don't need to prove it to me again. I will transfer the reward to the account given by Master Qingshi!"

The assistant's back was wet with cold sweat, and even his teeth were chattering: "This bag is so thin, it won't break, right?"

When Director Cen and Brother Shu heard this, they became even more frightened and hugged each other even tighter.

"Director Cen, at least let Chef Zhou finish what he is saying." Shi Xi smiled.

Director Cen said with a stiff upper lip: "Chef Zhou, if you have something to say, please speak up."

The ghost chef sighed regretfully: "Director Cen, I feel disappointed to hear that you didn't take my death to heart at all, and even needed someone to remind you to remember me. But I still admire your talent, and I really hope I can have the opportunity to work with you in the next life."

The ghost chef spoke a lot of his inner thoughts, but Director Cen only heard the meaning of "I won't let you go in my next life", and was so scared that he immediately said, "No, no, no... Chef Zhou, I'm already planning the next food variety show, and I've decided to arrange the first episode of the restaurant exploration for your restaurant. You can go and reincarnate with peace of mind, and don't worry about me in your next life, okay?"

The ghost chef cried with joy: "Thank you Director Cen, I will bless you even when I go to the underworld!"

Director Cen's scalp was numb by the sharp ghost crying: "No, really no, I beg you not to think of me in the underworld... Taoist Wuyou, please take him back and save him, okay?"

Shi Xi blinked innocently: "Director Cen, can this result be responsible for my original decision? Are you satisfied?"

When they met at the gate of the hospital, Director Cen did not trust Shi Xi at all and asked her coldly to be responsible for her decision.

Director Cen recalled what he had said at that time, wiped his sweat, and said politely: "Satisfied, satisfied, Taoist Wuyou, I judged you by your appearance before. I didn't expect that you are so young, but your cultivation is so amazing."

"Master Qingshi and I deduced that the ghost was someone I knew after a few words, and you suppressed the ghost with one move. Wuyou Temple is indeed full of hidden talents. If I encounter trouble in the future, I will need Master's help."

Assistant Director Cen also felt guilty and bowed to Shi Xi: "I understand now. It turns out that the Taoist priest playing with stones and cooking are not unreliable behaviors, but unique ghost-exorcism strategies. I have a narrow vision and misunderstood the Taoist priest. I apologize to Taoist priest Wuyou here. I really admire you now."

Brother Shu, who was watching nearby, shook his head and thought: If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place.

"As long as you are satisfied with the result," Shi Xi put the plastic bag into his bag and zipped it up. "I would like to remind Director Cen that you must fulfill the promise you made to the vengeful spirit, otherwise you will get into trouble. I'm leaving now."

Director Cen agreed carefully and asked his assistant to personally send Shi Xi back.

Shi Xi asked Assistant Cen to take her to the entrance of the Farm subway station, and then waved goodbye.

Assistant Director Cen watched her walk into the subway station, and sighed in his heart, look at this slender back, look at this plump back of the head, what a fairy! How could I have mistaken the fairy for an ordinary tourist?

…

After returning to the crew to film, Shi Xi resumed his Buddhist image.

Tang Niannian touched her little bald head and said, "I'm used to seeing you with hair, and suddenly I feel that Wuchen's style is a little strange, hahaha."

Shi Xi raised his thin eyelids and glanced at her with a half-smile: "Little fox, you don't recognize me after just one day of not seeing me?"

Tang Niannian put on an overbearing expression and transformed into the fox demon Bai Ying: "Stinky bald ass, I can still recognize you even if you turn into ashes!"

Actor A passing by: "The acting DNA of Xiaoshi and Nian Nian is moving again."

"These two are famous for being able to get into the role in a second at any time and anywhere," Actor B pointed at the male and female lead who were studying the script diligently, "Influenced by them, the male and female lead have started to work hard on their acting skills. If they continue like this, it will be hard for this movie not to be a hit."

Actor A feels the same way: "We have to work hard too and take advantage of this opportunity!"

Shi Xi had no idea that she had inadvertently encouraged her colleagues, but one day she suddenly discovered that her colleagues' acting skills had improved a lot, so they did fewer NGs and left work earlier.

Shi Xi was very happy about this.

But after filming night scenes for several days in a row, Shi Xi became a lazy guy again. That night, after the filming, she went out for a midnight snack with Tang Niannian.

Both of them were in low spirits. Shi Xi tried to make fun of the situation and said jokingly, "We eat slower than sloths."

Tang Niannian's eyelids drooped, and she imitated Lightning's words: "When... you were... a kid... your... imitation makeup... was really... popular... ah..."

After saying that, he turned the phone screen to her at 0.5 times the speed.

This is the interface of a makeup imitation video about sunset atmosphere makeup on a certain website. The number of views of the makeup imitation videos released by several big beauty up hosts has exceeded two million.

Tang Niannian took back her phone and said, "You also made the surrounding products of the evening canteen popular. Now they are all sold out. Is there any smart sponsor who would like to ask you to endorse beauty products?"

Shi Xi just received a work message from her agent. After reading the content, she opened her half-closed eyes completely: "Niannian, do you have a talent for words?"

"I really got it right. What a good vision for a beauty brand." Tang Niannian raised the cup and gulped down the berry juice.

Shi Xi held his forehead with his hand: "No, it's a wig brand."

"Puff." Tang Niannian almost sprayed out the juice.
