Synthesis of Terror: On the One Thousand and One Ways of Death of the Protagonist

It's lunch time now, and if it was normal, they might not even be able to grab a seat, but today the store is empty, except for him and Qin Yue, there are no other customers here

Su Nuo was a little strange, seeing the proprietress approaching, he hurriedly asked, "Madam proprietress, why is there no one in the store today?"

The landlady's face turned pale, and a hint of guilt appeared on her wrinkled face. Thinking of what happened in the store these two days, she wanted to tell the truth, but when she got to her lips, she changed again.

"It's nothing. Maybe people came late today. You are also a regular customer. It's not that you know our past situation. Maybe it's because today is Friday, and the companies around you will be busy."

The appearance of the proprietress could hardly hide his guilt, but Su Nuo was used to being careless, but he couldn't see anything. He let out a oh, and believed what the proprietress said. He looked sideways at Qin Yue who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Little aunt ,What do you want to eat? The beef hot pot in this store is good, would you like some?"

Qin Yue glanced at the proprietress who was so nervous that her forehead was sweating. There was a very faint resentment wrapped around her body, and those resentments were sucking her vitality, but she herself was completely unaware of it.

interesting.

Qin Yue wanted to see what kind of monster this store was, so she nodded and said indifferently: "Look carefully, I'm not familiar with this place, order whatever you think is delicious."

Su Nuo suddenly laughed, three meat dishes, two vegetables and one soup, and made up six dishes.

He originally only wanted to order four dishes, but after going through all these ghostly things, he began to avoid the word four. The dishes in this restaurant taste good, but the portions are not much. Personally, with six dishes, you should be able to eat almost seven or eight.

The proprietress went down with the menu in her arms, bypassed a dilapidated wooden door, and turned to the back kitchen.

In the back kitchen, an old man in his 60s was standing in front of the stove, staring blankly at the clean spatula in front of him.

After the proprietress came in, she glanced at the old man standing there, and shouted: "Old Zhang, I'm here for business, hurry up and cook."

The man who was replaced by the proprietress as Lao Zhang trembled, as if he had finally come to his senses, he turned his head to look at the proprietress, his eyes were clear and bright, without any cloudiness that an old man should have.

"A Cai, what are you talking about? There are so many things happening in the store recently, where will anyone come?"

A Cai heard the words, and said impatiently: "What happened in the store? Why didn't anyone come? I said it all, because the vegetables I bought in those two days were not fresh enough, that kind of thing happened. I changed the vegetables for today, I bought them from the vegetable farmers, so there should be no problems."

"But..." Old Zhang's face showed hesitation: "If it's not about the food..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by A Cai. She slammed the menu on the stove, glared at Lao Zhang standing there, and said sharply: "You don't want to do it? After two days, After a lot of effort, a table of guests came. If we let them run away again, we will stop opening this restaurant. If you don’t miss me, you must always miss your son and grandson. Your big golden grandson is getting married. How can you get married if you have no money?"

"Okay, okay, stop yelling, and ask the people outside to listen carefully, it's not like I won't do it."

As Lao Zhang said, he took the menu on the stove and looked at it. He took a closer look, and after remembering the names of the dishes, he began to select ingredients and prepare to cook.

Seeing him like this, A Cai's voice also softened: "Old Zhang, don't blame me, the rent here is so expensive, if there are no customers, we may have to close the shop, we finally opened the shop. Wouldn't it be a pity if it turned out to be so dirty after it's been in business like this?"

Lao Zhang glanced sideways at his wife standing beside him, smiled, and said, "A Cai, we have been husband and wife for many years, how could I not know your temper? You have always been careless... .”

A Cai also laughed, and her wrinkled face looked younger because of this smile: "The glib tongue is the property of old couples, but your mouth is still so good at talking."

The husband and wife chatted for a while, and A Cai helped out, and quickly prepared the dishes.

Water onion, white garlic, each tender and fresh, the worry on her face eased a little, and she murmured: "This time there should be no problem."

Although she swore that there would be no problem just now, she was still a little worried after all, and looked through the side dishes and fresh meat carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, she was a little relieved, and after taking a look, it started to heat up. Old Zhang who was frying vegetables in oil, A Cai said, "Old Zhang, then I'll go out first."

Lao Zhang nodded without saying a word, and put the finely chopped onion, ginger, and garlic into the oil pan. After the stinging sound, a faint fragrance radiated in the small kitchen, and the expression on Ah Cai's face The smile involuntarily deepened, and he turned and left the kitchen.

This time, they should be able to restore the store's image.

After Ah Cai left, Lao Zhang began to concentrate on cooking, the flames happily licked the bottom of the pot, and the sound of stinging and rattling was heard one after another. As the dishes took shape, the aroma in the kitchen became more intense.

Lao Zhang, who was concentrating on cooking, didn't notice that there was a cloud of black mist slowly rising from the corner of the kitchen.

The mist twisted continuously, and soon condensed into a small human figure, which was no more than one meter high, and the whole body was covered by black air, except for one face, which was very clear, and the black shadow of the human figure twitched Sniffing his nose, he glanced greedily at the sweet and sour pork ribs placed on the table, dripping saliva poured out of its mouth, and soon there was a puddle of stinky water stains under its feet.

The figure stood there for a while, and waited until the moment when the aroma of the dishes in the room was the strongest, the small figure jumped out with a 'whoosh' sound, and almost in the blink of an eye, it reached the stove and walked around the two rows of dishes After two laps, he immersed himself in the two dishes, and the sound of Xilihulu sounded.

Lao Zhang, who was cooking, paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at the stove.

The two dishes lay there quietly, with an attractive color and aroma, and there was nothing wrong with it.

He frowned, doubtful in his heart, but he couldn't see anything wrong, the aroma of the dishes in the pot was permeating again, Lao Zhang turned around hastily, and began to add various seasonings.

Heiying turned his head and glanced at the busy old Zhang, sneered, and continued to eat hard. The heat of the dishes was unknowingly reduced a lot, and the original bright colors were covered. When A Cai came in and served the dishes When I went out, the dishes that were originally full of color, flavor and taste were already in vain.

Giggling and chuckling sounded in the kitchen, and the black air around the figure was thicker, showing faint signs of escaping towards the surroundings.

***

Perhaps it was because they were the only guests at the table, and the dishes came out quite quickly. A plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and a plate of vegetarian fried shrimp were quickly placed on Qin Yue's table.

Su Nuo graciously placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of Qin Yue, and put a spare rib in Qin Yue's bowl.

"Little aunt, try it, the ribs taste very good."

The expression on Qin Yue's face moved, and her gaze swept over the ribs in the bowl.

If you only look at the outer model, it looks very good, but the taste may not be satisfactory.

While urging Qin Yue to eat quickly, Su Nuo picked up a piece of pork ribs with his chopsticks and eagerly stuffed it into his mouth.

Just after chewing it, Su Nuo's expression changed, and he spat it out with a wow.

"Miss Boss, what the hell are you selling!!!"

Seeing that Qin Yue had picked up the ribs, Su Nuo hurriedly stopped him: "Little aunt, don't eat them, these ribs are rotten!"

Su Nuo's yelling was too loud, and A Cai, who had been paying attention to their situation, hurried over, and when he saw the rib that Su Nuo spat on the ground, A Cai's expression changed immediately.

Su Nuo originally wanted to gain goodwill in front of Qin Yue, but the food he tasted tasted like this. He just felt that he had lost all his friends, and he didn't have a good face towards A Cai.

"Miss Boss, it's no wonder no one comes here. You said, why did you serve us rotten pork ribs? Thanks to you for making them so beautiful, but in the end, they just look good and you can't even eat them."

"How did this happen, how did this happen?" Ah Cai murmured, she had clearly checked before putting it in the pot, all the vegetables, fruits and meat were all fresh, how could they be rotten?

She didn't believe in evil, and didn't care whether it was dirty or not, she reached out and grabbed a spare rib and stuffed it into her mouth.

A sour smell immediately diffused in the mouth, and it was really rotten. A Cai's face contorted, and she spat it out with a wow.

Still unbelieving, she grabbed a shrimp and put it in her mouth, it still had that sour smell, her face turned blue immediately, and when she looked at her eyes, she felt like she was going to faint.

Although Su Nuo said powerful words, his heart was not bad. Seeing that A Cai was about to faint, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and hugged A Cai who was falling backwards.

Ah Cai recovered in one breath, the sour smell in her mouth made her fall into despair, she beat her chest hard, and cried loudly: "What kind of evil did you do!!!"

A Cai's crying sound was sharp and sharp, which made Su Nuo's ears buzz. He seemed to have never seen this kind of posture before, and he froze there, holding A Cai with his hands stiffly, not knowing what to do. good.

"Little aunt..."

In Su Nuo's heart at this moment, his little aunt was a omnipotent existence, he pitifully looked at Qin Yue who was carefully looking at the rib, and shouted.

Qin Yue hummed, and slowly put the ribs back into the bowl.

She was about to say something when she heard hurried footsteps coming towards her. Qin Yue turned her head and saw a man in a chef's uniform coming from the side door.

This person is probably the boss of this shop.

When Lao Zhang saw the scene in the house, he was also a little dazed. Seeing that A Cai was crying sadly, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

A Cai, who was crying, heard her husband's voice, and cried even harder, and almost lost her breath. Su Nuo hurriedly stretched out his hand, pinched her, and tried to keep her awake.

"Old man, this business can't be done. I don't live anymore, I don't live anymore..."

Seeing his wife like this, and seeing those ribs and shrimps vomited on the ground, Lao Zhang didn't know what happened. His body shook, staggered a few times, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

They checked and checked today to make sure everything was safe, but the result is still like this. It seems that this is their fate. Their store is probably going to be completely closed.

Lao Zhang raised his hand, wiped his face, walked over slowly, and took A Cai who was leaning in Su Nuo's arms.

As soon as A Cai got close to Lao Zhang's arms, she grabbed his lapel tightly, crying silently.

Lao Zhang's eyes were a little sore, and tears and blood fell down. How much effort the old couple put in to develop this store into what it is today. It only took a few days, but it declined inexplicably.

This is fate, they don't have that fortune, they can't make this money.

"Sir, miss, I'm really sorry. This incident is our fault. I can't afford to compensate you here. Look at this, I will pay you some money. Let's just expose this incident, okay?"

Su Nuo just ate a mouthful of pork ribs, and until now his mouth was full of bad taste. He was so disgusted that he felt that he would not want to eat for a few days. Nuo cursed bad luck, and then said.

"Forget it, for the sake of the past, we don't need you to lose money, but in the future, I won't step here again."

Lao Zhang smiled wryly, and said shyly: "There is no future, we are afraid that this store will not continue to operate."

"Don't do it?"

Su Nuo originally wanted to say that your business is so good, why don't you continue to operate it, but seeing the empty restaurant now, he swallowed this sentence again.

"If you don't manage it, don't run it. If you have hands and feet, you can find work."

After Su Nuo finished speaking, he looked back at Qin Yue who was still sitting there, and said, "Little aunt, let's go, we can't eat here, let's go to another restaurant, the restaurant opposite is also good."

Qin Yue ignored Su Nuo, and instead looked up at Lao Zhang who was wearing a chef's uniform. She tapped her fingers on the somewhat greasy tabletop, and after pondering for a moment, she asked, "The cooked dishes have gone rancid for some reason. How long did it take?"

Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, wondering why Qin Yue would ask this, but this is not something that cannot be said, he thought about it, and said, it was about five days ago. "

At noon five days ago, he prepared the dishes as usual and served them to the guests. As a result, a guest ate it, but said that the food was all rotten.

How could Lao Zhang believe that that person was here to make trouble? In fact, since their restaurant became famous, the troublemakers have come here several times, but because the food they cook is delicious and the price is affordable , Those people did not get anything good in the end.

Lao Zhang thought that this was the same person as before, who came to make trouble, but in the past, everyone said that there were bugs in the dishes, or that the dishes were not fresh, but no one said that the food was rotten.

Lao Zhang didn't believe that man's words, and the guests who often came around didn't believe him either, but the dish was there, and the man swore that the dish was indeed rotten. In order to prove his innocence, Lao Zhang, Take a sip.

"How, is it really rotten?" Su Nuo asked.

Lao Zhang nodded, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to get deeper.

"Yes, that dish is indeed rotten, but I just bought the ingredients in the morning, and they were all good before cooking, but after they came out of the pot and served on the table, they turned rotten."

Lao Zhang thought that the dish was not made by himself, and that person must have taken the opportunity to frame him. However, apart from that dish, many guests at the other tables also said that their dishes were rotten.

Many of the guests are regular customers of Lao Zhang, and they will never come together to frame Lao Zhang.

Faced with these people's accusations, Lao Zhang couldn't argue with his mouth, and finally spent a lot of money to suppress the matter.

"Since that day, the business in the store has slowed down. Later, some unsuspecting customers came to two tables, but just like the situation that day, as long as the food is on the table, it must be bad."

Qin Yue pondered for a moment, and she had a clue in her heart. She stood up, looked at the old couple standing there, and said lightly, "Take me to the kitchen."

Lao Zhang was stunned, and A Cai, who was still crying, stopped crying, and looked at Qin Yue with red and swollen eyes.

Looking at the husband and wife, Qin Yue hooked the corners of her mouth, and a very faint smile appeared on her face. She was originally born very well, but the expression on her face had been faint before, which inevitably made people feel alienated. Such a smile, The expression on his face became a little more angry, and the scenery was so beautiful.

"I sort of know what's going on, but I still need to go to the kitchen to make sure."

Before the couple said anything, Su Nuo had already moved to Qin Yue's side and whispered, "Little aunt, do you have that thing?"

Qin Yue didn't even look at Su Nuo, and said, "What do you think?"

"I think so, no matter how black-hearted Lao Zhang is, he won't make this kind of rotten food specially, ruin his business, and cut off his money."

"clever."

Qin Yue boasted.

As Su Nuo said, unless the couple has trouble with money, they won't make this kind of dish that looks delicious but is actually rotten.

According to A Cai, before cooking, the selected dishes are all fresh, but after they are out of the pot, they are rancid.

If what she expected is correct, it should be that when the dish is ready, something has absorbed all the essence of the dish, and although the remaining dish looks nothing on the outside, in fact, the taste inside is completely spoiled .

When Lao Zhang and A Cai saw Qin Yue's appearance, they immediately realized that Qin Yue might solve their predicament.

"Miss, no, master, do you really have a solution to this matter?"

"That's right, my little aunt is a master, this kind of case is just a small case."

Su Nuo has completely blindly worshiped Qin Yue now. This kind of moment where Qin Yue's abilities can be revealed, naturally he highly praised Qin Yue, and said that Qin Yue is the only one in the sky, and there is no such thing on earth.

His eloquence was good, he kept the old couple in a daze, and the way he looked at Qin Yue had completely changed.

Hearing the end, A Cai suddenly pushed Lao Zhang away, and knelt down towards Qin Yue with a thud: "Master, I will kowtow to you, as long as you can restore our store to normal, I will set up a longevity tablet for you, and I will give you a long life tablet every day." daily worship."

Longevity Tablet?Hehe, she really dared to say it.

Qin Yue looked at A Cai who was kneeling there, raised her eyebrows, and was noncommittal to what she said.

"Where is the kitchen, let's go there."

This sentence was addressed to this old Zhang, completely ignoring A Cai who was still kneeling there, A Cai's body froze, and he stood up dejectedly.

"Alright, alright, master, I'll take you right away."

As Lao Zhang said, he respectfully invited Qin Yue to the back kitchen.

The kitchen is quite clean, with all kinds of dishes neatly stacked aside, chicken, duck, fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables are classified into categories, which looks clear at a glance.

Perhaps it was because there were not many guests recently, so there were not many dishes prepared. Qin Yue went to look through it and found that as A Cai said before, the food here was very fresh.

Seeing Qin Yue flipping through the vegetables, Ah Cai said, "I didn't lie to you, I got up early to go to the vegetable market and bought these vegetables from the vegetable farmers. They are all fresh."

Su Nuo also followed Qin Yue, looking through the eggplants and looking at the cucumbers. He didn't know much about whether the vegetables were fresh or not, but looking at Qin Yue's appearance, he probably knew that these vegetables were indeed fresh. of.

Qin Yue turned around in the kitchen, her gaze paused for a moment in the cabinet in the corner, and then turned away as if nothing had happened.

She turned around, looked at Lao Zhang, and said, "Boss, you can cook a dish now."

Lao Zhang stared blankly at Qin Yue, wondering what she meant: "Cooking?"

Qin Yue nodded and said, "Cook the dishes that you think are the best and taste the best."

Lao Zhang didn't know what Qin Yue meant, and wanted to ask again, but A Cai pulled Lao Zhang's sleeve to stop him from continuing to ask.

Lao Zhang glanced at A Cai, swallowed what he was about to say, and took out a ball of beef that had been cooked before from the freezer.

"Little aunt, Lao Zhang's best dish is Hangjiao Beef. The taste makes my mouth water."

Su Nuo leaned over and explained.

"Aren't you afraid of being rotten?"

Qin Yue asked back.

Su Nuo choked, thinking of the unbearable search, the expression on his face suddenly twisted.

Qin Yue stopped teasing him, patted his head, and said, "Don't worry, with your little aunt here, I won't let you eat rotten food this time."

Su Nuo forced a smile, but the expression on his face was still not very good-looking.

Not to mention Lao Zhang's craftsmanship, just this knife skill can be called superb. A ball of beef the size of a palm quickly turned into thin slices of beef.

Qin Yue reached out and took two pieces of beef, looked carefully, and found that the two pieces of beef were almost exactly the same regardless of their size or thickness.

"Good knife work."

Qin Yue praised her.

Ah Cai became proud, and said, "That's right, my wife was a master chef in the restaurant when he was young, and even those foreign officials would praise his dishes."

Faced with A Cai's showing off, Qin Yue was noncommittal. Lao Zhang is a man of real ability, and he can stand up to such praise.

Cut the beef into slices, cut the chili into pepper balls that can’t be more than one centimeter in size, and prepare the onion, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The pot is hot, and the yellow peanut oil is poured down, but it will be steamed after a while white smoke.

The onions, ginger, garlic, beef, and peppers were put down one by one, and Lao Zhang kept stirring them with a spatula, but in a short while, an attractive aroma diffused in the kitchen.

Su Nuo sniffled, smelling the scent of someone, some saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

"It's delicious."

Su Nuo grunted, staring at the beef in the pot without blinking.

Qin Yue nodded, and said softly, "Mmm, it's very fragrant."

As the aroma spread, there was a stench in the kitchen that no one else could detect. The corners of Qin Yue's mouth curled up slightly, and the corner of her eyes glanced at that corner. She saw a low figure gradually taking shape, and she felt already in her heart. With spectrum.

After the thing condensed and formed, it couldn't wait to rush towards the stove, its speed was extremely fast, its body flashed a few times, and it was almost at the edge of the stove.

Qin Yue's speed was faster than it, she stretched out her hand as fast as lightning, and pinched the thing's neck precisely.

Ear-piercing screams rang out, but Qin Yue was unmoved at all. With a wave of her right hand on the thing's body, a faint black light emerged, and the thing in Qin Yue's hand immediately showed its figure.

Su Nuo was originally standing by Qin Yue's side, seeing her previous actions were a little strange, but he didn't react until the thing Qin Yue grabbed in his hand was revealed, and after a strange cry, he quickly backed away .

"Little aunt, what is this?!"

Because of fear, Su Nuo's voice changed a little bit, his eyes showed fear, but he just looked at Qin Yue's indifferent look, and quickly calmed down again.

With little aunt around, what is there to be afraid of?

Su Nuo's reaction was great, and the reaction of the old couple was even greater. When he saw the thing that Qin Yue was pinching, Ah Cai immediately screamed, rolled his eyes, and fell on his back, hitting the back of his head heavily on the ground. On the ground, there was a loud bang.

Lao Zhang was also terribly afraid at first, but seeing his wife fainted, all he could think about was worry. There was nothing to worry about, so Lao Zhang squatted down, hugged his wife who had fallen on the ground, and yelled a few times. , Seeing that she didn't respond, I couldn't help becoming anxious.

"Master, master, quickly see what's wrong with my wife, do you want to send him to see a doctor?"

Obviously, Lao Zhang is more worried about his wife than this store.

Qin Yue had a good impression of this old Zhang. His current performance made Qin Yue feel better about him. People who value affection always make people feel good about him unconsciously.

"She just fainted, it's not a problem." Qin Yue said, shaking the villain in her hand: "This thing is the main culprit that caused the food you cooked to go bad."

Hearing Qin Yue's words, Lao Zhang was stunned, and looked at the thing Qin Yue pinched in his hand in disbelief.

That little thing looked like a human being, with a head, torso and limbs, but the color of its body was pitch-black. His head was astonishingly large, but his limbs were extremely thin, and his entire body appeared extremely disharmonious.

This thing has no eyes and ears, only a flat nose on the big head, and a mouth that occupies almost half of the face.

At this time, it was opening its mouth, as if it was about to bite Qin Yue. Lao Zhang saw that its wide mouth was spiral-shaped, covered with round after round of sawtooth.

That black mouth seemed to be sucking him in. Old Zhang was covered in cold sweat, and it took a long time before he recovered his voice.

"What, what is this?"

Seeing that the thing was caught in her hand, Qin Yue still looked dishonest, so she raised her right hand and knocked it on the head. He opened his mouth wide and bit Qin Yue's hand.

"careful!"

Su Nuo yelled, but saw a dazzling red light burst out from Qin Yue's palm, the red light sank into the thing's body, the thing screamed, the red light came out through the body, and it opened wide. His mouth was closed, and his head hung there, as if dead.

Su Nuo was dumbfounded, and his admiration for Qin Yue reached a new peak.

"Little aunt, did you kill it?"

Su Nuo looked at the thing in Qin Yue's hand, and wanted to reach out to touch it, but he didn't dare, for fear that it was not dead enough, and if it bit him again, the fangs in that thing's mouth were not for display.

"This thing is a starving ghost. It has no ability and can't harm people. However, this thing has a characteristic. It likes delicious food. Boss, the dishes you cook are absorbed by it to become like that. .”

"Hungry ghost?" Lao Zhang repeated, glanced at the thing in Qin Yue's hand, and said hesitantly, "How did this thing come from?"

"Usually, starving ghosts will follow the smell of food, but this time, it's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

"Man-made disaster?"

Lao Zhang's face changed, he looked at Qin Yue, and said in a low voice, "You mean, this starving ghost was put in my restaurant?"

Qin Yue nodded, turned her head to look at the cabinet in the corner of the kitchen, and signaled Su Nuo to open the cabinet.

Su Nuo gave Qin Yue a timid look: "Little aunt, I'm afraid."

"With me here, what are you afraid of? Just go."

"But......"

"The starving ghost is in my hands. The place is just something for it to accommodate. It's okay."

With Qin Yue's guarantee, Su Nuo finally summoned up his courage and walked quickly to the cabinet in the corner.

Lao Zhang was eager to know who killed him, so he carefully put A Cai on the ground, and walked towards Su Nuo slowly.

Su Nuo stood in front of the small cabinet, took a deep breath, raised his hand and pulled the cabinet open.

He originally thought that he would see something terrible, but there was nothing in the cabinet except for some seasoning bottles such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

"Little aunt, there is nothing."

Su Nuo turned his head and called out to Qin Yue.

Holding the starved ghost, Qin Yue walked over slowly, her eyes scanned the cabinet, and finally landed on an unremarkable small white jar in the corner.

Qin Yue pointed to the small jar and asked, "Boss Zhang, what is that?"

This cabinet is used by Lao Zhang to store condiments on weekdays. As a chef, he can say that he knows everything in this kitchen like the back of his hand. He has never seen this white porcelain jar before.

"It's not something in the kitchen."

The old man said.

Qin Yue nodded and signaled Su Nuo to take out the jar.

"Be careful, don't spill the contents."

Su Nuo was already extremely careful, but after being reminded by Qin Yue, the movements of his hands became even slower. He felt like he was holding a can, and he didn't let go until he took out the can and put it on the ground. Take a breath.

"Little aunt, is it this thing?"

Qin Yue nodded: "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, there should be something like the skeleton of a starved ghost in this jar, Su Nuo, open the jar."

Su Nuo's body froze for a moment, looked at Qin Yue standing there, dared not say anything, held his breath and opened the jar.

A strong aroma escaped, and Lao Zhang sniffled, and said with some doubts: "Master, this seems to smell like sesame oil."

Qin Yue nodded: "It's the smell of sesame oil."

"How could it be sesame oil? Master, could it be that you made a mistake?"

Qin Yue glanced at Lao Zhang, didn't speak, pinched the starving ghost with one hand, took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick cage with the other hand, and stuck them into the porcelain jar.

The chopsticks moved around along the porcelain pot, feeling that the heads of the chopsticks had touched something, Qin Yue used a little force to pinch the thing out.

The sesame oil slid down the bone that was only as thick as a thumb, and dripped back into the jar. When the sesame oil dripped out, the bone revealed its original appearance.

The bone was square in shape, very white in color, and covered with densely packed holes.

I don't know how long this bone has been soaked in sesame oil. The aroma of sesame oil has penetrated into the bone, but the aroma is too strong, which seems a bit choking.

Su Nuo looked at this square bone, and said nonchalantly, "Little aunt, what is this?"

Qin Yue was in a good mood, so she explained: "This is the bone from the throat of a starved person. After being treated by the mage, the ghost of the starved person was trapped in this bone and soaked in sesame oil. 330 Three days later, it will be done."

"So simple?" Su Nuo blurted out.

Qin Yue glanced at Su Nuo, and said angrily: "Easy? Not to mention how difficult it is to concoct a ghost, but it is a big problem to completely remove the throat bone of this starving person. If you are careful, this bone will be damaged, and a damaged bone cannot be attached to by a starving ghost."

Su Nuo was so trained by Qin Yue that he couldn't hold his head up, he was just an ordinary person, how did he know these twists and turns?

Lao Zhang looked at Qin Yue hesitantly, and asked in a low voice, "Master, this starving ghost has been caught. From now on, will my cooking return to normal?"

Qin Yue nodded and said, "That's natural. If you don't believe me, you can try that plate of Hangjiao beef you made."

When Lao Zhang heard this, he ran over in a hurry. He didn't use chopsticks or anything. He just used a spatula to shovel a few pieces of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.

The beef has been fried for a long time, and it looks a little old, but the taste is still good, without the disgusting smell.

Sure enough, there is no problem.

Old Zhang wept with joy, turned around and knelt down towards Qin Yue.

"Master, you are my great benefactor, and the grace of rebirth will never be forgotten."

Qin Yue frowned, and said, "Don't kneel to me, I don't know how to help you for nothing, I have to pay for it."

Lao Zhang was stunned, and got up from the ground: "It should be, Master, tell me, how much do you want?"

"1000 yuan, and I will take this starving ghost away."

Although 1000 yuan is a bit expensive, Qin Yue helped him solve the problem of spoiled food, which can be regarded as a great help to them. With his craftsmanship, the business will be able to come back sooner or later.

"Okay, but I don't have that much cash in the store, so I need to pick it up. Look, can you wait a bit."

"can."

As Qin Yue said, she stuffed the starved ghost ball into the jar again.

After sealing the jar, the greasy sesame oil smell finally disappeared, Su Nuo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Little aunt, what do you want this starving ghost for? Why don't you kill it?"

"It didn't hurt anyone's life. If I killed it, I would commit murder."

"Oh, so, what do you do with it when you take it back?"

"Naturally, let it be a human again."

As Qin Yue said, she stuffed the jar into Su Nuo's arms.

"Hold it, be careful not to break it."
