A few strokes of green mountains were drawn on the delicate white porcelain bowls and plates, which were light and dark, making people happy.
The Demon Lord nodded and stared at the large bowl of wild vegetable porridge in front of him. There was a dish of side dishes next to the bowl of porridge.
There were two kinds of side dishes, garlic sprouts cut into the length of little fingers and pickled cucumbers broken into small pieces, which smelled fresh and slightly sour.
In the plate next to the side dishes were two thin-skinned and solid pancakes, which exuded a rich fragrance with the steaming heat. There were
also two porcelain cups with lids on the left, one large and one small.
The Demon Lord ignored the two porcelain cups and picked up a garlic sprout and threw it into his mouth.
He picked up the green part of the garlic at the end, which was thin and green, with a little red at the green end, like the tender leaves of peach trees that have just sprouted in spring, with green roots and slightly red tips.
The taste is crisp, with a stimulating sour taste at first, and the more you chew, the sweeter it becomes, and finally the spicy taste on the tongue, with a very special fragrance.
The Demon Lord thought about it carefully, it was fresh fennel!
It was a very light fragrance, but it added a complex aftertaste to an ordinary side dish, which aroused people's appetite.
The Demon Lord picked up the wild vegetable porridge and took a sip. The snow-white and round rice grains were mixed with finely chopped wild vegetables, and only salt was added for seasoning. The rice fragrance and the unique fragrance of vegetables blended together. It was warm and thick in the mouth, and it was so comfortable that he wanted to exhale a long breath.
The demon god lowered his head, staring at the porridge with his dark eyes for a few seconds, and picked up a piece of cucumber.
The fresh cucumber was cut and thrown into the kimchi pot to soak overnight. It was taken out in the morning and was a perfect side dish for porridge.
It was refreshing and crispy, not as rich as pickled garlic sprouts, but the melon fragrance was fresh, crispy and sweet, and the more you eat, the more you want to eat.
The side dishes on the plate were almost finished, and there was still half a bowl of wild vegetable porridge left. The demon god put down his chopsticks and picked up a pancake.
The pancake skin was very thin, and it would collapse when you pinched it lightly with your fingers. He took a bite and found that the skin was soft and the filling was thick. The demon god was stunned. The pancake was filled with scallion and pork, and the scallion fragrance was overflowing and the fat was rich. A bite of pancake and a mouthful of porridge were more comfortable than anything else.
The demon finished the first pancake in a few bites and picked up the second one.
This pancake was different. It was a thin one, and the surface was slightly browned after being baked. When you bite it open, it is filled with preserved vegetables and braised pork.
Finely chopped preserved vegetables and fatty pork are mixed together and wrapped in the pancake. Then it is gently rolled out and baked in the stove. When you take it out, both sides are browned and it is crispy and fragrant when you bite it open.
With a "bang", a burst of white smoke burst out from where the demon was sitting. Lu Yao poked his head out of the kitchen and squinted his eyes. Who is the demon?
The waiters who were crouching in the corner and secretly watching the demon god eat were also surprised. The demon god actually regenerated flesh and blood, or rather, he turned back to his appearance before his death - a young man of twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with hair tied up with light-colored coarse cloth, a clean-looking face, and a tattered armor that could not hide his majestic aura.
Lu Yao took out the freshly prepared food and a bowl of white rice with curiosity in his eyes.
The young demon god raised his head, "You saw my memory."
Lu Yao nodded, "Yes."
In that ancient battlefield, Lu Yao not only saw the memories of the waiters and customers, but also saw the life of a general.
In a world full of war and hunger, the boy's family members died, and in order to survive, he joined the army. He
went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, became a general at the age of twenty-three, and was buried on the battlefield at the age of twenty-five.
He did not die at the hands of the enemy, but was killed by a spy from the imperial court who had infiltrated the army.
He went out of the camp alone to save people, was ambushed on the way, and died from being pierced by thousands of arrows.
In fact, the capture of women and children was a false news spread by the spy in order to lure him out of the camp. The one who wanted to kill him was not a colleague with whom he disagreed, but the king who sat high on the throne. When
the birds are gone, the bow is hidden, nothing more than that.
Lu Yao did not know at first that it was the demon god. After coming out of the game, all kinds of information were in her mind. She sorted out for a long time before she came up with this guess.
Today's meal may seem simple, but it actually coincides with the general's life.
The devil smiled and shook his head: "You made the wild vegetable porridge that I often ate when I was a child, but it doesn't taste like it at all. There is too much rice and it is too thick. The wild vegetables are not bitter at all. It is much more delicious than what my mother cooked. And these side dishes and pancakes are more delicious than what I ate in the barracks. They are completely different."
Lu Yao took away the cleaned bowls and plates on the table and handed them over rice and freshly made bitter melon stuffed pork. "It's so different. You also remembered what happened back then?"
The devil frowned: "Yes, the past that has been forgotten for more than a thousand years has resurfaced in my mind. Thank you." Lu Yao
was not afraid of this weirdness and casually lifted the lid of the small porcelain cup. "Please use some more. I'll go make a small dessert."
The clerks watching from a distance said: The owner is so brave. That's the devil! As
soon as the small porcelain bowl was opened, the overbearing peppery and spicy aroma burst out.
The demon god lowered his eyes and saw half a bowl of tofu buried in the red thick sauce, with a handful of emerald green onions sprinkled on the surface. The color and smell were more tempting than the previous dishes. The smell alone made people salivate. It was Mapo Tofu.
There was a bowl of snow-white and crystal rice in front of him. The demon god scooped three full spoonfuls of Mapo Tofu without hesitation and poured it on the rice, then picked up the chopsticks and shoveled it into his mouth.
The tofu is tender and softer than rice. It is cut into small pieces and coated with a rich and spicy sauce, with pepper powder and a handful of chopped green onions. The salty, fresh, spicy and spicy flavors are like a competition in the mouth, one after another, with rich layers.
The sauce soaks the rice, and the tofu is soft and rich, which is rich and satisfying. The demon ate half a bowl of rice, and then noticed that there was a bowl of bitter melon stuffed with meat next to it. The bitter melon was cut into small pieces, the core was removed, and the meat was stuffed, and the surface was coated with a thin layer of starch.
The demon had never eaten this before, so he picked up a piece.
The emerald green melon skin is covered with light brown sauce, and the meat filling is fresh and soft. It tastes soft, moist and slightly bitter, with a unique flavor.
Eating too much mapo tofu with rice is too greasy, so now it is time to have a bite of bitter melon with meat, which is refreshing and refreshing, and especially comfortable.
After the demon finished eating the rice and vegetables, he slowly moved his eyes to the largest porcelain bowl on the side.
What is this bowl?
Opening the lid, the heat dissipated, and it was a bowl of soup.
He frowned slightly, a very familiar smell, like Chinese medicine.
He had been in the army and held an important position, and injuries were commonplace.
At the mildest, it was an arrow wound, and at the worst, he had to stay in bed, and every time he had to drink those bitter and smelly Chinese medicines.
Even after tens of millions of years, the demon still hated this smell.
But this bowl of soup is clear in color, with a layer of bright oil floating on the surface. You can see that there are medicinal herbs, chicken, mushrooms, and red dates in it. It looks good.
The demon frowned in disdain, but was also a little eager to try.
He scooped out a little, took a sip, and his brows relaxed.
It smelled bitter, but tasted mild. The freshness of chicken and mushrooms quickly spread in the mouth, followed by a hint of sweetness.
The bitter and slightly sweet taste was addictive, and the demon drank it all in one gulp.
He put down the bowl, turned his head to look out the window, and felt a little embarrassed. He
finished it all, and ate it too cleanly.
As if Lu Yao knew that he was about to finish eating, he brought a small bowl and placed it in front of the demon god, "The last snack."
The demon god did not turn around and said stiffly, "Since you insist on me eating, then eat some more." The
demon god, who had grown flesh and blood, had regained his voice of twenty-four or twenty-five years old, less majestic and a little shy.
"Please eat slowly." Lu
Yao returned to the kitchen, and several employees were almost going crazy looking at the small glutinous rice balls in the pot.
The round and soft glutinous rice balls, like white jade balls, lay in the dark brown sticky sugar liquid, and the sweet aroma spread throughout the kitchen.
Although the main ingredients are the same as the wine-brewed meatballs, this sesame candy glutinous rice balls smells particularly sweet and tempting.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Take some first, and then we'll have barbecue together later."
The waiters scooped half a bowl each, held up a small spoon and sat in a row, blowing out one at a time.
The glutinous rice balls boiled in sugar liquid are like inflated small steamed buns, round and plump.
They look soft, but chewy and sticky, wrapped in sweet and mellow sesame candy, a little sticky, chewy, hot and sweet. If you eat too much, you will feel a little sick, but you can't bear to stop eating.
Bai Ming was originally depressed because of the possession, but after eating half a bowl of small glutinous rice balls, her mood seemed to be soaked by the sugar, and her dark eyes became bright again. Lu Yao
loved eating this kind of glutinous rice balls when she was a child. The sugar boiled from sweet potatoes is sticky and sweet. With a little water to cook the glutinous rice balls, she can eat a full bowl at a time.
Now that she has grown up, she doesn't like sweets so much, so she eats less.
In order to let Lord Demon have a taste of this old-fashioned flavor, she went to several markets and waited for two days before buying a small can of sesame candy from an old vegetable seller.
When Lu Yao went to collect the bowls, Lord Demon had already finished eating. He even scraped the sugar liquid at the bottom of the bowl clean, and then propped up his elbows and pretended to watch the night view.
The staff began to prepare a barbecue dinner. Several tables were put together and placed with baking trays and ingredients.
At first, because Lord Demon was there, they were a little restrained. Later, they had a lot of fun and opened the wine. They were noisy until midnight, and they all fell on the table unconscious.
The Demon stopped after eating a few rounds, leaning against the window and silently admiring the night view, as if he couldn't see enough.
Lu Yao brewed a pot of hot tea, brought a plate of jujube mud cakes, and sat opposite the demon.
The demon turned around and poured himself a cup of tea. The lingering tea fragrance diluted the noise in the room. "I know what you want. You have a lot of karma, and the road ahead is long. Well, it will be as you wish."
The demon pulled out a bone from his cloak and handed it to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao: "?"
This can't be a human bone, right? This is not what she wants.
However, she actually didn't know exactly what she had to get from the demon to go to the next world.
She didn't take it, and the demon didn't mind.
Pushing the bone in front of her, he pulled out a finger bone from the little finger of his left hand, staring at Lu Yao: "This is my bone, which allows you to control your time as you wish. If you want to take it, you must agree to one of my requests."
Request?
What does the demon god want to ask of an ordinary human?
Lu Yao said, "Please tell me."
The demon god said, "My finger bone is a token for you. If you want to close this shop one day, bring it to me." Lu Yao
's eyes widened. Is this an acknowledgement that she has opened a shop in this world?
[After obtaining "the recognition of the demon god", the snack bar is upgraded to a seven-star shop, and a deputy store manager can be added. ]
[The task of feasting the demon god is completed. Congratulations to the store owner, you have obtained the recognition of the gods of the underworld, and you can go to the next world immediately! ]
Lu Yao felt his wallet was hot, and he took out a piece of paper.
The white paper, two fingers wide, had the four words "Five Flavors of the World" written on it. This was the clue she got before coming to this world.
She chose to open a snack bar because of the clue, and it turned out to be a good choice, but it was a bit expensive.
The note was still hot, Lu Yao rubbed it casually, and a corner of it was raised. A new note fell on the table.
This time it was not text, but a small picture: a sharp scaly claw holding a handful of treasure.
Lu Yao took a look, put away the note, took the finger bone handed over by the demon god, and responded calmly: "Okay, I promise."
The demon god pushed the bone over again, fearing that she had forgotten something: "Take this away too."
Lu Yao: "...Can I ask why you gave me this piece of bone?"
The demon god seemed to find it strange: "Isn't this the purpose of your coming here? Take it away, I don't want such a troublesome thing."
He was very persistent, so Lu Yao had to put the bone into the warehouse, and when he looked up again, there was no one in front of him.
The demon god left.
The tasks of the snack bar have been completed, but Lu Yao did not go to the new world immediately. Instead, he set aside time to deal with some remaining issues of the snack bar.
When he woke up the next day, there was an extra row of stars under the sign outside the snack bar.
Lu Yao counted them and there were exactly seven.
Lu Yao typed into the system: "Why are there stars suddenly? Is it related to the star rating of the store?"
System: [Gaining the recognition of the gods of the current world, upgraded to a seven-star store, and a star-level symbol appeared on the sign. It is a commendation for the owner. By the way, the highest star rating of a store is ten stars. If you have a ten-star store, you will receive additional special rewards.]
Lu Yao was not very interested: "...Oh."
Seven stars are enough, and ten stars will be up to fate.
At noon, Lu Yao took a break to interview shop assistants. Several unexpected interviewees came. It was said that they were Chi, the guard of the C-zone cake shop paradise, Du Chen and his brother Duan, the former guard of Qingshan Paradise, and some ordinary people.
After a simple interview, Chi had good abilities and a very Buddhist personality. He unexpectedly got along well with Qi Chen, and he had the ability to guard. Lu Yao did not hesitate to keep him.
The people who came after were not suitable, so Lu Yao did not force them and asked the system to post the recruitment advertisement again.
Qing heard that Chi came to the snack bar, so he came over and talked to him in private.
At noon the next day, a group of guests came to the store for a company dinner.
Yu Cai and Mo Cheng brought nearly 20 people from the company to the snack bar. They waited in line for a day and a night and finally entered this legendary canteen.
Since there were so many of them, Lu Yao asked someone to take them to the third floor.
The third floor had not yet officially opened to the public, but the layout was exactly the same as the two floors below. There were ample seats, and the gathering was lively, without worrying about disturbing other guests.
In just a few days, the snack bar had added a lot of new food, including tomato egg noodles, matcha mille-feuille, rock sugar and white fungus soup...
A fat middle-aged man in Yu Cai's group ordered a tomato egg noodle. The noodles were cooked by Lu Yao, and the sauce was also fried by her.
The middle-aged man took a bite and started crying, saying, "This noodle is exactly the same as the one my mother cooked. I was angry with her that morning and deliberately threw away half of it. I died the next day. I have been thinking about this bite for countless days and nights since I came here, and I didn't expect to eat it here. Mom, I was wrong, I missed you so much."
As he spoke, the guest was covered with warm light, and the people around him were shocked.
The chief guard rushed over after hearing the news. Lu Yao, the staff and some guests were separated at the staircase entrance. They watched the light on the guest's body become brighter and brighter, wrapping him up completely, and then melting into a golden furry little ball, flying into the sky like a dandelion and disappearing.
Someone in the crowd murmured: "Is this... a dead soul?"
"Oh my God! Can our souls still be dead?"
"Did he die because he ate something from the snack bar?"
Lu Yao was shocked. Is that man dead?
The guard captain turned to look at her and asked, "Did you cook that bowl of noodles?"
Lu Yao nodded blankly.
The chief guard asked the other guards to evacuate the guests and spoke to Lu Yao alone: "The soul of the man just now has returned to heaven. Most of the dead souls who were unable to die peacefully due to various complicated reasons such as accidental death, suicide, natural disasters, etc. have strong obsessions, and the dead souls with obsessions will be attracted to this world. There is no door to the afterlife here, and people cannot find the way to return, and can only welcome the death of their souls. Maybe because the man just now ate the food you made, his obsession disappeared and he found his own way to return. Road."
Lu Yao: "...I don't quite understand."
The guard captain was not good at explaining. Facing Lu Yao, he was still a little embarrassed and said stiffly: "Peace of mind is home. Anyway, it's a good thing for you to understand. Lord Demon God may have expected this, so he prepared these things for you. Three per month from now on as food subsidy."
Lu Yao had three more black rings in his hand: "..."
What the hell is food subsidy? Is the official hinting that she should sell these rings?
System: [Owner, the customer who just returned to the soul transferred all his time to you, a total of 859 years.]
Lu Yao: "..."
Numb.
The chief guard led his men away. Yu Cai and Mo Cheng secretly found Lu Yao: "Shopkeeper, we just saw a recruitment advertisement outside. Do you think we are a good match?" Lu
Yao felt a little guilty when he saw the two of them: "It's the guy just now, he..."
Yu Cai interrupted excitedly: "Shopkeeper, you are really amazing. You can make people return to their souls. To be honest, I also want to find my own place, so I want to work in the store. I am very capable and can do anything." There
were many hints in his words.
Lu Yao gave the two of them a simple test, and it was just as they said, more capable than the previous interviewees.
The taciturn Mo Cheng's cooking skills were not worse than Quan Shengju. Yu Cai was very skilled in receiving guests and helping in the kitchen.
Lu Yao wanted to arrange everything as soon as possible, so he left two people behind.
Yu Cai and Mo Cheng's company declared bankruptcy on the spot, and the snack bar had eight employees.
On this day, the news that the food in the snack bar might bring back the souls of customers spread out. There were many customers who saw it at the time, and the news could not be covered up.
More customers wanted to come to the snack bar to eat, and some people even started fighting outside, which alarmed the guard captain and brought the amusement park NPC to maintain order.
The next day, Lu Yao informed the staff that a deputy store manager would be promoted. The staff reacted violently and even developed a sense of competition with each other.
Lu Yao said he didn't understand.
System: [The deputy store manager will be soul-bound to the store owner and perform the duties of the store owner within the scope of the snack bar, which means they can cross that door. ]
Lu Yao: "..."
She didn't expect that those guys were so quick-witted.
Lu Yao was slow to go to the next world, and the system was a little anxious. It couldn't help but urge him: [The clues of the next store have been obtained, and the snack bar will be done soon. When will the owner open the second store? Do you have any ideas for a new store? ]
Lu Yao: "I will open it after selecting a deputy store manager. I want to open a store that doesn't cost much."
System: [I suggest opening a jewelry store. According to the clues, jewelry must be scarce in the next world. The owner can bring the top gems in this world over, and it will definitely sell well. ]
Lu Yao: "...I don't think your suggestion is right."
