Chapter 44.
However, Tang Yu, the chef of this celebration, could not accept it.
It’s not that she felt sorry for the death of Aying, but she just couldn’t accept it psychologically.
Seeing that her boss was frowning and unhappy, Jing Xiaoning didn't say much. A light machine gun suddenly appeared in her hand and the muzzle was pointed directly at the few people.
She said bluntly: "What do you think? Just give me a straight answer. Will you do it or not?"
The subtext of her words was that if they didn't agree, she, Jing Xiaoning, wouldn't mind making the three of them sacrifices.
Facing the machine gun, the three of them shrank their necks.
Tian Xun was also very obedient at this time. Not to mention that he was injured and his movements were restricted, even in his best condition, he could not be faster than a bullet.
Tang Yu was obviously aware of the current situation. She didn't expect that Jing Xiaoning, who was dressed in pink and looked delicate and pretty, was actually a ruthless and decisive character.
However, I am afraid that only such people can travel through various strange dungeons and become a long-lived investigator.
"Okay, I agree, but the cooking process has nothing to do with you, you can't get involved." Tang Yu said calmly under Jing Xiaoning's gun: "If you don't, then kill me now."
Jing Xiaoning stared at the three people silently for a while with the gun in hand, then suddenly put away the gun and said in a relaxed tone, "Okay, but don't play tricks. I will check the finished product."
Anyway, she didn't like cooking, so it was just right that Tang Yu didn't let her interfere.
"make a deal!"
Just as they had reached an agreement, Tang En suddenly warned, "Oh no! The mayor is here!"
Everyone looked towards the door, and sure enough, they saw Lao Jin's figure walking towards them at the corner of the alley.
When Tang Yu saw Lao Jin, he was sweating. Their original plan was to kill Aying and escape.
But now they had to stay, but Aying was already dead, and the mayor came at this time, so they didn't even have time to clean up the body.
"What, what should we do?" Tang En asked with a trembling voice.
Ayingyi is already so difficult to deal with, and no one wants to know how terrifying Lao Jin, the leader of Guya Town, is.
But Lao Jin was about to walk into the courtyard, and the situation seemed hopeless. Tian Xun was already holding a knife and trying to stand up.
Jing Xiaoning pushed Tian Xun, who was about to stand up, down and whispered, "Lie down quietly and don't get caught!"
After saying that, she gave everyone a warning look and walked towards the kitchen door.
Tang Yu saw her taking out a spray bottle from her pocket and spraying it on herself while walking, and a magical scene happened.
Jing Xiaoning's appearance gradually changed, becoming exactly the same as Ah Ying on the ground, even the neurotic smile on her face was exactly the same.
"Aying" closed the door when she walked out of the kitchen.
Old Jin, who had just walked into the yard and was about to look into the house: "......"
"Aying" didn't say anything but just smiled and looked at Lao Jin. Lao Jin asked, "How are the preparations going?"
Ah Ying spoke up, her voice revealing no flaws, "It went very smoothly, but the waiter didn't allow us to disturb him."
This sentence made Lao Jin, who was planning to go in for a visit, give up the idea completely. He nodded and instructed: "Guard this place well and don't let any unclean things come to disturb us."
"Aying" nodded in response, then watched Lao Jin leave with a smile on her lips.
The people who were hiding in the kitchen and listening to the noise did not expect things to go so smoothly. Tang Yu opened the door to see Jing Xiaoning, who was still wearing Aying's face at this time.
How much ability does this guy have?
Facing the incredulous looks from the three people, Jing Xiaoning revealed a smug smile and pretended to be calm.
"No. 17 on the Heavenly Ranking, battle record can be checked!"
Now even Tian Xun gave up the idea of confronting her. After all, to be in the top 50 of the Heavenly Ranking, one must have extraordinary means as well as an outstanding brain.
Jing Xiaoning is not simple!
Looking at Ah Ying's face with a cocky smile, Tang Yu closed the door expressionlessly, put on an apron and started to prepare food.
Ah Ying had moved many of the necessary ingredients to the kitchen so that Tang Yu could close the door and immerse himself in cooking.
Anyway, there is a gate god guarding outside, so she is not worried about any danger at all.
As for the sacrifices needed for the celebration, Jing Xiaoning suggested using Aying's body directly, but Tang Yu chose to reject her proposal.
Aying's body was dragged into the cellar by Tang En and Tian Xun. Tang Yu only planned to use normal ingredients.
Tian Xun was a little worried about her actions at first.
He was not sure whether the townspeople would be aware of the situation without resorting to human sacrifice. It would not be fun if the celebration was ruined and the townspeople went berserk.
What's more, before that, they have to be checked by Jing Xiaoning. If that little ancestor finds any problems, he might shoot them all.
However, Tian Xun's worries were dispelled when Tang Yu made the first dish.
In a room with the door closed, three people gathered around a huge chopping board.
On the chopping board, which was large enough for a person to lie down, there was a dish that looked very strange.
On the exquisite white porcelain plate, there was a piece of meat emitting scarlet mist, and the shape of the meat looked like an elbow.
However, the loose and soft red skin is covered with fish-scale-like spots, which is very unfriendly to people with trypophobia.
Tang Yu rubbed his hands and said to Tian Xun and Tang En expectantly, "How about you try it?"
Tian Xun rubbed his cheeks as he looked at the dish. He gritted his teeth and didn't utter a word for a long time.
If he hadn't seen Tang Yu cook a sea fish with his own eyes, he would never have believed that what was on the plate was made of fish.
At least the meat was bright red and had nothing to do with fish.
Tian Xun remembered that Tang Yu introduced his skill as cooking. At that time, he didn't take it seriously and even secretly despised it in his heart, thinking that it was another useless skill.
But now it seems that things are not that simple!
The fact that Tang Yu can make an ordinary ingredient into such a shocking appearance proves that his skills are extraordinary.
Tian Xun now understood why Tang Yu dared to guarantee that even if she did not use Aying's meat, the dishes she made would be able to pass Jing Xiaoning's inspection.
With just this one trick, not to mention fooling Jing Xiaoning, even the townspeople could be fooled!
Look at that scarlet mist floating!
It's like being enchanted!
No matter how you look at it, it looks like an evil sacrifice. No wonder the mayor broke the rules and asked Tang Yulai to prepare for the harvest celebration.
"Fuck!" Tian Xun had thousands of words stuck in his heart, and in the end, they could only be summed up in this one word.
Tang En was used to this kind of scene. He controlled his appetite and politely declined Tang Yu's invitation.
"I won't taste it. The harvest festival is coming soon, so we should hurry up."
After all, all the people in the town will gather together at that time. Even if the food Tang Yu prepares cannot feed hundreds of people, at least everyone should have a bite.
Even so, it is still a big project.
Tang Yu thought so too, so he stopped asking the two to help taste the food. He turned around, waved the spatula and happily went to the kitchen.
In the dimly lit kitchen, a girl with messy curly hair was adding various ingredients into the pot with shining eyes.
The two people who were silently helping out watched as some of the dishes, some exquisite and some horrifying, were created, not daring to say a word.
Huddled at the foot of the wall was a mad Yang Mingzhe, and guarding the door was a fierce and taciturn pink Barbie, making this small kitchen look like a dark workshop.
Time passed quickly. On the day of the harvest celebration, a long banquet was set up on the main street of Lonely Cliff Town.
Just like an ordinary farm buffet, long wooden tables of the same shape were spliced together to occupy the entire main street.
The long table was filled with sumptuous food. As per the custom in previous years, the plates were covered with lids like in a Western restaurant.
Before the arrival of the Lord's Messenger, mortals like them are not allowed to peek at the sacrifices.
The gods never really come down. Only the messengers of God who represent the will of God walk on the earth, bringing blessings to Guya Town and protecting their small town that is swaying in the wind and rain.
As waiters in charge of the preparation of the sacrificial offerings, Tang Yu and Tang En had the right to observe the ceremony on site. Beside them was Jing Xiaoning, who was dressed as Aying.
As for Tian Xun and Yang Mingzhe, who were supposed to be sacrifices, they hid in the kitchen cellar.
Old Jin stood beside Tang Yu, looking at the plates on the banquet, feeling very excited.
When Tang Yu finished the preparation, Lao Jin came to inspect the results in person. He felt that he had made the right judgment.
This girl must be a servant sent by God!
The prepared sacrifice was different. The strange power it carried made even Lao Jin tremble.
I believe that the gods will be very satisfied this time, and how much blessings will Guya Town receive by then!
Perhaps because the messenger of God was about to arrive, the continuous drizzle on the day of the harvest celebration stopped.
What was even more surprising was that a crack appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, and golden sunlight poured through the gap and fell right onto the long table on the main street.
The metal plate covers reflected the sunlight, emitting a bright color, and at this moment, they actually revealed a sense of sacredness.
The residents of Lonely Cliff Town gathered on the main street, and everyone stood one meter away from the long table. Some people had no room to stand and were even squeezed into the alleys.
The moss in the alley rubbed against the townspeople's bodies and faces, but they didn't mind at all. They just stared intently at the long table with eyes that revealed piety and greed.
After the harvest celebration, the gods will bless the meals, and those who share the food will be blessed.
In this way, the coming year will be free from worries and disasters!
More than 300 people from the town gathered here, and the scene that should have been lively was completely silent, with no one making a sound.
Even the sounds of birds, animals and insects were gone.
Including Lao Jin, everyone had a strange smile on their face, like joy or emotion, an invisible and intangible emotion was quietly spreading.
Tang Yu had not originally planned to come to the harvest celebration. After all, this thing looked like a Hongmen Banquet, and it would not be a good idea for her to get involved.
But Lao Jinfei dragged her here, saying that she was a servant appointed by the gods and must be present. Tang En was also brought here as her companion.
Tang Yu looked around boredly, and suddenly saw an uncontrollable smile on Tang En's face.
There was fear in his eyes, but the corners of his lips kept rising, which looked particularly strange.
This is erosion again!
Jing Xiaoning, who was standing next to Tang Yu, had an Aying-like smile on her face from beginning to end, and it was difficult to tell whether she was affected or not.
Just as Tang Yu was trying to do something, he suddenly heard an inexplicable murmur from everyone.
The sounds were squeezed out from the throat, mumbling unclearly and mixed together, as if a huge beast was groaning.
Tang Yu looked at the excited expressions on the townspeople's faces and immediately knew that the messenger of God they were talking about had arrived!
