Chapter 23



All the customers in the restaurant turned their heads to look at the kitchen door from time to time while eating.

After a while, when Xiu'er appeared again, she had a pair of white wings behind her.

Everyone: “!!!”

Despite their mental preparation, they were still shocked and stunned when they saw the wings.

At this moment, their three views were shattered, like glass shattered on the ground.

This scene overturned their understanding of the world.

Even Song Yuluan, who had the strongest ability to accept things, found it hard to accept at this moment.

She had never seen anyone with wings, nor had she ever seen such a thing in a book, not even in myths or legends.

How can a person grow wings? A deity could actually make a person grow wings? So, could the shop owner let her grow wings too?

Feng Yuanning closed the system interface, admired his own work, and felt very satisfied.

This was the first time she had seen a living birdman with wings in real life. It was indeed very interesting and novel.

Not only were the guests' perspectives shattered, she also felt that her eyes had been broadened. Of course, she didn't show it.

This time, Xiuer served pineapple shrimp fried rice.

She placed the bowl of fried rice on the dining table of Qi Borong and other constables, turned around and walked towards the kitchen as if nothing had happened.

Qi Borong watched her approach, then watched her turn and leave. Suddenly, as if possessed by a ghost, he reached out and plucked a feather from her white wings.

Xiu'er seemed to notice something and turned to look at him.

Qi Borong suddenly became extremely nervous, his heart in his throat, fearing that Xiu'er would question and scold him.

However, after looking at him, Xiu'er turned to look at Feng Yuanning, and without saying anything, she returned to the kitchen.

Qi Borong breathed a sigh of relief.

He picked up the feather he had just obtained and examined it carefully to identify it.

The feathers looked incredibly lifelike, indistinguishable from those on birds. Could it be that the wings had actually grown? But how could a living person grow wings? This completely defied common sense.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a clear female voice: "Shopkeeper, can you let us grow wings too?"

The person who spoke was Song Yuluan.

Qi Borong looked up when he heard the voice and turned to look at Feng Yuanning eagerly.

What would happen if other people could grow wings? With wings, could they soar freely in the sky like birds?

Feng Yuanning shook his head coldly in denial: "No. Xiu'er is a puppet, not a living person. She can wear wings, but you can't."

Song Yuluan was slightly disappointed: "I see. Well, it's indeed strange for a living person to have wings."

Qi Borong observed the feather for a while and put it away for the time being.

Suddenly, someone at the table shouted, "Oh no! The food is poisonous!"

Qi Borong was startled, and looked up at the constable who was screaming in pain, "What's going on?"

He didn't quite believe the words that it was poisonous.

Considering the abilities displayed by the shop owner, if she wanted to murder someone, would she have to poison the person?

Everyone: “???”

Song Yuluan questioned unhappily, "You're talking nonsense! How could the owner poison you?"

Bai Haoge also said: "That's right, as a shop owner, he wouldn't poison anyone."

Qi Borong cleared his throat and said, "That's true. Did you misunderstand something?"

Guo Yitang ate the fish fillets happily while casting a suspicious and surprised look at the shop owner. He, the son of the elder of the Medical Valley, was fine, so why did the shop owner have to murder an ordinary constable?

The eyes of the constable who was "poisoned" turned red and tears welled up in his eyes. He tried to defend himself, "Captain, it really is poisonous. My tongue is so painful that I've lost all feeling!"

"..." Feng Yuanning couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You ate the chili peppers in the spicy chicken, didn't you? You're so brave to eat this kind of chili peppers directly."

"Are chili peppers really poisonous?" The constable who was "poisoned" turned pale with fear. Before he ate the chili peppers in the spicy chicken, he did get some information that the chili peppers were used for seasoning.

But since onions and garlic were edible, why couldn't peppers be eaten? Without much hesitation, he picked up a pepper and started eating.

Who knew it would end up like this.

Feng Yuanning lazily leaned back on the sofa. "It's not poisonous, but it's spicy. Spiciness is essentially a kind of pain. This kind of hot pepper is used for seasoning, not for eating. Generally speaking, people who can handle spicy food won't eat this kind of pepper."

Song Yuluan laughed gloatingly and said, "Haha, luckily I had the foresight to not eat this kind of pepper."

These peppers are only added to the dish to enhance the flavor, which can make other ingredients spicy to that extent. Of course, she would not be stupid enough to eat the peppers directly.

This fool was just in a bad mood. He tasted the chili pepper with his first chopstick before tasting other dishes.

"..." The constable who was "poisoned" could not help but feel like crying, "But, using something as horrible as chili pepper to enhance the flavor, will this dish really taste good?"

The other detectives listened and nodded unconsciously.

That’s right, a mere chili pepper can make a person so miserable. If this thing is used to enhance the flavor, how can this dish of spicy chicken taste good?

"Yes, how can you use something like this to enhance the flavor?"

"I thought the pepper looked odd from the start, and it turned out just as I expected."

They suddenly realized that they were still in the shop. Would such a judgment anger the terrible shop owner? They quickly turned to see the shop owner's reaction, but found that her face was indifferent and there was no sign of anger at all.

They immediately felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

One of the constables added, "Actually, this plate of pineapple and shrimp fried rice is also weird, ahem."

He didn't continue talking after that, but just complained silently in his heart.

How can you fry fruit in rice? Wouldn't it taste sweet and salty? It's really weird.

Feng Yuanning: “…” Eat it if you want or not, it’s their loss if they don’t eat it.

Ling Jing, who couldn't handle spicy food, suddenly felt like he had found a kindred spirit. He agreed deeply, "Using chili peppers as seasoning is indeed inappropriate..."

Song Yuluan immediately glared at him fiercely and interrupted him: "What's wrong? It's obviously you who can't handle spicy food. This is your own problem. How can you blame the peppers for being too spicy?"

Ling Jing immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.

Song Yuluan started to scold the constables again: "You haven't even tasted the food, what qualifications do you have to say these dishes are bad? The owner said that food cannot be wasted in the restaurant. You can do whatever you want."

Captain Qi Borong made some mental preparations, picked up a piece of chicken from the plate of spicy chicken, put it in his mouth, and then frowned slightly in surprise.

It was much more delicious than he had imagined!

Is this what spiciness tastes like? This spiciness is clearly not unpleasant, but rather extremely stimulating and enjoyable.

He couldn't help but speed up, constantly reaching out with his chopsticks to pick up the chicken. Before he swallowed the meat in his mouth, he picked up the second piece of chicken.

The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it feels great to chew. The soup on the surface is fresh, spicy and very refreshing to eat.

Seeing that Qi Borong was eating faster and faster, like a starving ghost, several constables couldn't help but grumble in their hearts.

It turned out that their chief constable was such a person. In order to please the store owner, he pretended to be impressed by the food. It was really shameful.

However, since the owner said that food cannot be wasted...

So do I really have to force myself to eat?

One of the burly constables who had been silent the entire time thought for a moment, picked up his chopsticks, picked up the plate of pineapple shrimp fried rice, and poured some into his small bowl.

He was different from several other colleagues. Yesterday, because his wife had visited this hotel without telling him, he had already tasted instant noodles, self-heating hot pot and other delicacies.

Since the food sold outside the store is so delicious, I think the food sold in the store will not taste too bad.

He tried the first bite of fried rice and his eyes widened in shock.

He also thought it was strange to stir-fry fruit into rice, but he didn't expect that this way of stir-frying could actually be so delicious?!

The pineapple flesh is sweet and delicious, and the aroma of pineapple permeates the rice, neutralizing the greasiness of the fried rice. After taking a bite, he felt his mouth full of fragrance.

He couldn't help but finish the small bowl of rice in a few mouthfuls and wolfed it all down.

Facing the confused and complicated looks from everyone, he directly moved the plate of pineapple and shrimp fried rice over and said, "Since you all refuse to eat, I will reluctantly help you finish this plate of fried rice."

The detectives: "..."

Finally, someone among them realized that something was wrong.

If one person behaves abnormally, you can still say that he is pretending, but if two people behave abnormally, it can't be that they had discussed it, right?

At this time, Xiu'er brought another dish, this time it was spicy crayfish.

The man hesitated for a moment, then reached out and tried to pick up a crayfish, peeled the shell, and put it in his mouth to taste it.

His whole body suddenly shook, and then, as if suddenly wound up, he kept reaching out to take shrimps, peel shrimps, and eat crayfish quickly.

Other detectives: "..."

“Is it really that delicious?”

“Is it really delicious?”

"You're not pretending?"

"Wait, let me have a taste too."

A moment later.

All the detectives joined the scramble for food.

"Slow down, slow down, can you please stop competing with me?"

"That's too much! It's so delicious, but you didn't even remind me and just ate it all by yourself."

"Another dish is served. It's ice jelly. It smells like a flower and looks delicious. I'm a little reluctant to eat it. Hey, you bunch of animals, can you please stop being so impatient?!"

"It's so sweet and icy cold. I just had something spicy, and after drinking this icy jelly, I feel so refreshed."

"Shopkeeper, can I have another bowl of ice jelly?"

"Shopkeeper, we were wrong about you just now. It's all our fault for being so unworldly that we misunderstood the food in your shop. I can guarantee that there is no food in the world more delicious than this."

"This isn't mortal food at all. It's a delicacy that only the gods in heaven are qualified to enjoy."

Listening to their words, Guo Yitang looked at the plates on his table, then at the dishes on other tables, and couldn't help drooling.

He could only taste two kinds of delicacies, while others could taste several at a time.

This is not fair.

He also wanted to go over and try it.

However, if he ordered more dishes, he wouldn't be able to finish them.

Considering that he would be staying in this hotel, he had previously sent his two followers back to Medical Valley to return the purchased items.

So much so that now, there is no one to help him share the burden.
