Chapter 123 I can’t afford your salary
In fact, Grandfather Huo Yuejiang has always been concerned about the relationship between the two young men during this period.
Especially when Yu Mian was about to move out, Grandfather Huo Yuejiang thought about it for a long time and considered how to deal with it appropriately.
On the one hand, since Yu Mian really appeared alone because of the conch shell, Grandfather Huo Yuejiang had subconsciously taken care of Yu Mian as his own child.
If he couldn’t find the mermaid couple, he would have the responsibility to take care of the little guy for them.
Otherwise, wouldn’t he have nothing to explain?
On the other hand, Huo Yuejiang could see that Huo Ting didn’t say anything, but his concern was obviously abnormal.
At first, he even wanted to throw away the fish tank, but now that he has appeared, he will never throw away the fish tank again. He has even given away the study room on the second floor that he has been used to since he was a child.
In this case, why not just arrange for his grandson to be sent there as a security guard?
"Well, isn't this a bit exaggerated? I don't think I would..."
Yu Mian, who was standing aside, was about to ask if this was a bit exaggerated, but was interrupted by his grandfather.
"Why is it exaggerated? Especially for writers, it is indeed necessary to pay attention to safety when the work is famous. Otherwise, what will happen if those extreme book fans come to you? I think it is not too much to assign a security guard, so let this kid go." The more
grandfather Huo Yuejiang thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea. He was worried about handing it over to others, and it seemed that he did not take it seriously. It was most appropriate to let Huo Ting go in person, just as if he was arranging a job for him.
"Okay."
However, facing his grandfather's order, Huo Ting nodded.
Yu Mian turned around and looked at Huo Ting behind him. He was almost shocked to ask this guy why he followed his grandfather's nonsense.
"Oh, you don't have to think he is so great. Being a security guard is also a training. Just treat it as a task I gave him. He dare not fail to complete it well."
Although Huo Yuejiang is old, his eyesight is not bad. He looked at the two little guys in front of him with a smile, and he was in a good mood.
"I actually think this arrangement is quite suitable. If Master Yu Mian stays in the old house, we will disturb him if we come in too many. The environment over at Starry Sky Lake is also suitable for writing. Maybe we can write more works."
Since Qiao Ni and the others knew that Yu Mian was creating novels in front of the optical computer, they have a great respect for the word "writer".
Not to mention that Huo Yan often becomes Yu Mian's fully automatic rainbow fart machine, and in front of Qiao Ni and the others, he almost mindlessly praises Yu Mian's works as the best in the universe.
No matter how Yu Mian explains, it is not that serious and formal. Qiao Ni and the others just think that being able to write such a long story is quite amazing.
Every time he brought snacks upstairs, he was very careful, for fear of disturbing Yu Mian's creative ideas. His attitude was too serious and polite, which made Yu Mian feel embarrassed.
"Anyway, take it first, the access card for identification. If something happens, I, an old man, can't explain to your parents."
The next second, the grandfather directly stuffed the prepared access card into Yu Mian's hand, and waved his hand downstairs without giving Yu Mian time to return.
Yu Mian, who couldn't get a word in, could only look at Huo Ting behind him, hoping that Huo Ting would return the key to his grandfather.
"Why didn't you stop grandpa just now? I'm an adult now, so it's not strange to live alone, right? I'm not a child like Huo Yan."
Perhaps Yu Mian himself didn't realize that he would feel a little pressured when his grandfather, Qiao Ni and other elders were concerned about him, but he became intimate and natural when he was alone with Huo Ting.
"I am indeed worried. What if something unexpected happens when I live there alone?"
However, Huo Ting looked at the key in Yu Mian's hand, and his tone was still serious.
Others may be excuses for concern, but worrying about Yu Mian's safety after moving out alone is definitely true.
"Besides, grandpa doesn't give things to others easily. This little thing is nothing to him. Just take it."
He even put the card squarely in Yu Mian's palm.
The moment Yu Mian looked up and looked at Huo Ting's dark eyes, she felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, it is a happy feeling to be cared for.
And it is precisely because of this care that Yu Mian has not felt lonely since coming to the strange world of the interstellar.
Sometimes she would feel that the conch shell given to her by the system seems to be really good, otherwise she would not be able to know Huo Ting and her grandfather.
"...but it seems that they are a little too good to me."
Even because of the magical encounter between her parents, Yu Mian is still not sure how the two worlds overlapped.
"Are you not good to your grandfather? Maybe it's not all because of the conch."
Huo Ting saw Yu Mian's concern.
If Yu Mian was not really liked by everyone, even with the conch shell, it would be difficult to get such careful concern and care.
Just like Qiao Ni, who is not very good at studying, Yu Mian does not mind that some of the questions Qiao Ni occasionally asks are very simple. Instead, she is very patient in analyzing the cooking techniques in the book. When Huo Yan is disobedient, she always helps out.
As a result, after Qiao Ni experiments with some new dishes, she will subconsciously share them with Yu Mian first.
When Yu Mian was sick that time, Qiao Ni was even more nervous and worried.
Huo Ting occasionally wonders, what kind of people are the parents who can give birth to such a Yu Mian?
Maybe there is a reason why his grandfather has been worried about him for so many years.
"And it turns out that you're avoiding me recently, not because you're busy?"
But just as Yu Mian softened silently, Huo Ting changed the subject again.
Yu Mian:!
"Well, that's because you were so annoying that night... You were so noisy when you were drunk, did you know that you're quite intolerant to alcohol?"
Yu Mian was caught off guard by the change and began to blame Huo Ting unconsciously.
Just recalling the moment when Huo Ting hugged her from behind, her lower back felt a little uncomfortable.
Every time she turned into a fish tail, the scales would gradually emerge from that area. It was really a very strange feeling to be hugged so closely.
But in the end, it was Huo Ting who persuaded him to drink that glass of wine. The more
Yu Mian thought about it, the more he felt that it was just his own fault and Huo Ting could not be blamed.
Huo Ting must not be allowed to touch alcohol in the future.
Huo Ting was left looking at Yu Mian's unnatural reaction thoughtfully, as if he had guessed something.
"Then don't touch it in the future. Is this the first work order?"
After all, he seems to be a new guard now.
"Help... Grandfather is talking nonsense. You are not really going to be a guard."
Yu Mian was caught off guard and was embarrassed by Huo Ting's rare teasing. He wanted to cover Huo Ting's mouth directly.
"And I can't afford the salary of a guard of your level."
If Huo Ting insists on doing it, he will just work for nothing.
The series of "The God of Food" has also officially come to an end with Yu Mian's updates during this period.
Taoyuan Mountain is full of sweet peaches, and the sweet and delicious fragrance lingering in the nose is a kind of enjoyment.
After the peach picking activity was opened, many tourists shuttled between the peach trees with great interest.
The best-selling ones are the peaches planted by Lu Zhen under the guidance of the system. You can tear off a whole piece of skin with a light touch of your fingers, and the plump and tender flesh is even more delicious when you bite it.
The expedition team that first investigated Taoyuan Mountain also returned to this old place for an investigation and return visit after a year. They
were undoubtedly completely amazed by the vibrant and beautiful Taoyuan Mountain in front of them.
"Although the scenery was beautiful, it was somewhat desolate, and many houses were abandoned. I didn't expect that it is now crowded with people."
The members of the expedition team were impressed by the change, and it was difficult to connect the picture in front of them with the photos in their hands.
It is obviously the same landscape, but it exudes a different vitality.
"This shows that even without high-rise buildings, it can still create economic benefits, and people can also get a different holiday experience when they come here."
"Let's go, let's see if the boss is still here. I heard that Duozhi has arrived early?"
The old man in the lead waved his hand, stopped the discussion of his subordinates, and set off to Taoyuan Tavern with great interest.
The expanded lobby of Taoyuan Restaurant is still quaint and lively from the morning snacks to the evening feasts.
The B&B in the backyard is always full, and it is said that the reservations are already booked for a year.
The restaurants and B&Bs run by the neighbors around Taoyuan Mountain have also flourished due to the huge traffic brought by Lu Zhen. The whole Taoyuan Mountain is prosperous and full of happiness.
"You came at the right time. The first fresh peach feast is just about to be launched. How about you and everyone else try it this time?"
Lu Zhen smiled when he saw the original inspection team, and the mention of the fresh peach feast also made everyone curious.
"Boss, aren't peaches meant to be eaten? How can they be made into a meal?"
"You'll know in the evening. There's a viewing table on the river cruise ship. You can enjoy the lake view while tasting delicious food."
Lu Zhen kept it a mystery.
In the daytime before dinner, when we were touring Taoyuan Mountain, we really saw a pleasure boat on the Qingjiang River.
This pleasure boat is completely different from ordinary ships. Whether it's the carved window columns in the design structure or the palace lanterns that decorate it, it's refreshing.
Sitting on the boat and enjoying the beautiful scenery while tasting delicious food, it's really amazing that Boss Lu Zhen can come up with such a clever idea.
"I'm afraid this dinner on the painting boat will be packed once it's launched."
It's easy to imagine how wonderful it will be for everyone who comes to Central Star to enjoy the double enjoyment of delicious food and beautiful scenery.
"At night, the scenery will be even more different."
Zheng Duozhi, who had brought his family to Taoyuan Mountain for vacation a long time ago, also explained with a smile.
Sure enough, once it was night, the lights of the B&Bs and bars on both sides of the river were lit up, and some lotus water lanterns floated on the water, flowing quietly into the distance in the sound of water shadows.
The painting boat, which was already gorgeous and dazzling during the day, suddenly had a more dazzling and splendid taste as the palace lanterns and other lighting decorations were lit up.
After everyone took their seats curiously, the painting boat gradually set sail, and the water scenery on both sides of the river changed as the painting boat moved.
One by one, the fresh peach delicacies were presented.
The jujube-mashed peaches in the appetizers made everyone excited at the first taste. The sweet and delicate taste melted in the mouth, and the taste was extremely rich. The
peach-flavored honey chicken wings that followed were even more tempting in color.
The chicken wings were roasted to perfection, and the aroma of honey peach lingered on the caramel-colored chicken wing skin. When you bite it, the skin is crispy and the chicken inside is tender.
In no time, a plate of peach-flavored honey chicken wings decorated with peach blossom decorations was eaten up by the table of people.
Even when the same pair of chopsticks touched the last piece of chicken wing, both of them looked embarrassed, but the taste in their mouths was so tempting that they didn't want to let go.
"Don't worry, there's still a lot of food below. If you eat too much in the front, you won't be able to eat the back."
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhen served several delicious peach main dishes in one breath.
Crisp and delicious fairy peach pancakes, crystal-clear and permed fairy peaches, crispy and tender peach braised pork, and the final dessert of peach sago and peach ice cream cake, one cold and one hot, were free for the guests to choose.
The desserts were so exquisite in appearance that everyone couldn't bear to eat them. Instead, they took up their laptops and took pictures of the food.
"This is simply like a work of art."
Facing the unanimous praise from the crowd, Lu Zhen asked everyone to taste it again.
A spoonful of warm and soothing peach sago pudding enters the mouth, and the sweet milk aroma slides into the mouth along with the peach jelly and sago pudding. The peach fragrance overflows as you chew it. It tastes delicious.
In the early summer, the night breeze on the pleasure boat is slightly intoxicating, water birds are flying on both sides of the river, and lights are shining. Holding the peach blossom rice wine that was finally served in the hand, the slightly intoxicated and comfortable taste is almost indescribable.
"To be honest, at the beginning, everyone really didn't believe that this piece of Peach Garden Mountain could develop into what it is today."
"After all, there is an old saying that green waters and green mountains are gold and silver mountains, right?"
In everyone's eyes, Lu Zhen's words seemed to be just the tenacity of young people in the early stages of starting a business.
But now, with this scene and the fresh peach fragrance lingering by the water, the understanding of this sentence seems to be very different.
While the cups and plates were in a mess, everyone continued to enjoy the taste of rice wine and talked freely about many topics in life.
The full moon hung high in the sky, quietly witnessing the poetic beauty of "After getting drunk, I didn't know that the sky was in the water, and the boat was full of clear dreams that overwhelmed the stars."
Just as everyone was getting drunk and sleepy, and the pleasure boat returned to the shore, Lu Zhen, who was holding the railing, saw the Zhima panda rolling down the mountain.
Seeing Lu Zhen on the pleasure boat, he called out softly.
"Look, Zhima and the others are coming. Do you want to go see them?"
"I know it! Oh my God, it's even cuter than when it was live broadcast. It's worthy of being the most popular pet in Taoyuan Mountain."
Many people in the inspection team had heard of this popular panda in Lu Zhen's live broadcast room, and they immediately looked into the distance with surprise.
I just felt that today's peach feast on the water pleasure boat was full of surprises and beauty of nature and life from the beginning to the end.
Lu Zhen, the only one who was not drunk, also signaled Zheng Duozhi, who was in charge of steering the boat, and they all laughed and docked the pleasure boat, and walked towards the bamboo forest where Zhima was.
As for the system that has been with Lu Zhen until now, it also released the last main line prompt at this moment of laughter.
Ding-Congratulations dear host, the main line mission of the God of Food has now been completed, unlocking the right to freely explore the food life 100%, and wish you a pleasant journey. ^-^】
[End of "The God of Food"]
As Yu Mian's first food farming article with the most soothing rhythm, "The God of Food" does have a completely different style from other works.
Whether it is the main plot without any fierce reversal of contradictions, or the relatively gentle and obscure emotional line, this article has a more leisurely and casual feeling that subtly matches Lu Zhen's pastoral life at the foot of Taoyuan Mountain.
Under the influence of Yu Mian's previous works, the interstellar novel world, where fierce plot conflicts are gradually rising, has brought a new trend that is different from the crowd but also makes readers linger.
As a result, many people have discovered that the original idyllic slow-paced novels can also be loved by the majority of readers.
As soon as the final chapter of the peach blossom feast of "God of Food" was released, the speed of data completion and ascension caught Yu Mian and editor Shax off guard.
[I must recommend the latest player work "God of Food" by Fish Soup Noodle Teacher! Those who are worried about the serialization and haven't read it yet are strongly recommended to read it immediately. I didn't expect that the new peach blossom food introduced in the last chapter can still make people so surprised! 】
【The main reason is that the description is so fascinating. I read it at work. As I read it, I wanted to quit my job and go on a spontaneous trip. I don’t believe there is no place like Taoyuan Mountain in the universe! 】
【No, no, no, I started "Taoyuan Restaurant" on the spot, looking forward to the new version of the game updating the peach delicacies this time. Especially the operating rights of the water painting boat restaurant, please, please, I really need this game to be updated. If it is not updated this time, my heart may be broken! 】
Various exciting posts about the completion of the game are endless, not only discussing the eye-opening water peach feast in the last chapter of "The God of Gourmet", but also exchanging the yearning for the beautiful utopian world in the work of Fish Soup Noodle Teacher.
【In fact, many people initially said that this book was not as good as Mr. Fish Soup Noodles’ previous works, but I really don’t agree. "The God of Food" is definitely the most unique and healing work ever. Every time I encounter sad things in life, I read a few paragraphs of the original text and fall asleep in the dream of Taoyuan Mountain. When I wake up, I feel that I am full of new strength. 】
【Yes, so I am particularly sad that it is finished today. No one knows that when I saw the last chapter of the full text, I felt melancholy and uncomfortable in my heart, as if I was saying goodbye to Taoyuan Mountain completely. 】
【+1 Follow the daily updates of Taoyuan Mountain every day, see what kind of food Boss Lu Zhen has developed, and try to cook and make with my family. It has long become a healing and happy part of daily life. 】
Among many reviews, the healing attribute of "The God of Gourmet" is undoubtedly the most mentioned.
It was not until these huge reader comments that everyone discovered that people like Lu Zhen at the beginning of the article who suffer from technological depression are not rare in the interstellar world, but they have always been ignored.
The casual and peaceful life of Lu Zhen in "The God of Gourmet" made these readers who were once breathless discover that life can actually have such a slow pace.
It's just that the time when each fruit tree blooms and bears fruit is different.
[In fact, my favorite sentence is the last sentence of the ending: The main task has been completed, and now you can explore the world freely. Boss Lu Zhen has started to explore freely in Taoyuan Mountain from now on, and so is our life? I suddenly decided to try a different new life.
This new trend created by "God of Gourmet" has even attracted the attention of many experts, who tried to study why "God of Gourmet" and its supporting game "Taoyuan Restaurant" could set off such a star-studded trend of returning to nature.
Although there are also some critical voices, they believe that those who are addicted to the virtual game "Taoyuan Restaurant" and even hope to become cyber life and live in the game world are a way to escape the pressure of reality.
But there are also many different views and opinions.
[In fact, this essentially reflects that no matter how technology develops and progresses, people's natural love for nature can never be covered up. When we see a flower blooming, we feel the joy of life. When we see a bird flying by the water, we feel the vastness of the world.
In the vast universe, aren't these wonders of natural life one of the greatest miracles? While looking up at the stars and exploring the limits of technology, we should not ignore the natural beauty that can be seen everywhere around us.
Moreover, the utopian existence of Lu Zhen and its Taoyuan Mountain undoubtedly carries our expectations for an ideal life. What does it have to do with escaping from reality? I am looking forward to many of the delicious food and beautiful scenery in it appearing in real life.
Of course, my personal favorite is the sentence "After getting drunk, I don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams and overwhelms the stars." If there are businesses that can provide such a travel experience, please contact me as soon as possible. 】
Among many supportive comments, this comment by "Lu Wei" still has Lu Wei's unique reading experience style.
Once it was released, it received a lot of likes and support from fans of the book "The God
of Food". It seems that it is not difficult to understand why the completion data of "The God of Food" has soared.
The most amazing thing is that Yu Mian, who was preparing to pack up and move recently, actually received a letter and an invitation letter from Waltz College, a comprehensive interstellar university.
In this letter signed by President Charles, the other party said that after reading "The God of Food", he was very interested in the many plots in the book that involved the knowledge of the ancient blue star.
[…In fact, I have always felt that we have neglected this period of history in the past, but in your works, many young people can easily feel the beauty and charm of it.
So I took the liberty to send you this letter and letter of invitation. If you are willing to take the time to come and teach some unique insights to the students of our school, we will be honored.
In addition, our school's student writing club is also looking forward to your visit. Although many of their works are immature, I personally find them quite novel and interesting after reading them. If you can communicate with them, it will probably become a wonderful experience for the students.
——Principal Charles】
In addition to explaining the reason for the invitation, this letter also stated that the relevant teaching fees can be paid together. All the details are very sincere.
"It feels really interesting, but am I too young to go?"
Yu Mian held the letter in his hand, feeling novel and a little hesitant.
The main reason is that I am also very interested in the works of these young students in the letter, and it must be very interesting for everyone to communicate.
As for being suddenly invited to teach, Yu Mian felt that he was still a little too inexperienced.
"Waltz College is very famous, and it is also known for its open-minded school spirit in Central Star. Principal Charles is also a famous educator in the teaching field. If you are willing to go there, I think it is a very good choice."
Secretary Hals helped to make references after learning about it, and also strongly supported Yu Mian to give it a try.
Qiao Ni and the others now felt that Yu Mian was indeed writing very unusual articles, otherwise why would the school invite Yu Mian to exchange ideas?
"Then I think I should write a more formal reply to this principal."
Yu Mian hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"Of course, we still have to release the eighth volume of the Soldier King for trial reading first."
With the eager anticipation of countless Soldier Kings, Mr. Fish Noodles officially released the eighth volume of the new book "Reborn Star Soldier King" for trial reading shortly after the completion of "The God of Food"!
