In the dark night, the wind and snow are still there, and two crescent moons are looming between the clouds.
The imperial capital of the Qingfeng Empire, Daxiong Hall.
Inside the hall, the lights were brightly lit, the sound of singing and dancing resounded endlessly, and the smell of delicious food and wine permeated the air, lingering over the entire hall. In the center of the hall, dancers were dancing their waists, trying to show their beauty.
The court musicians, sitting in a corner, played the music to their heart's content, playing beautiful notes, and the dancers danced to the music. It was so beautiful that people couldn't even look away.
On the top of the main hall, Ji Chengxue sat on the dragon chair in a fine attire, and below the two sides were filled with important ministers of the imperial court. Many of these ministers were new faces. Promoted by Ji Chengxue.
Some big families in the empire also had people seated, whether it was the Xiao family, the Ouyang family, or the Yang family, they all sat under the main hall, and the sound of laughter continued to spread between the toasts and cups.
The ghost chef was sitting not far from Ji Chengxue, the dimples on his face were also slightly rising and falling, showing the joy in his heart at the moment.
"Master Wang, I have heard that the late emperor praised the master when he was alive, saying that the master is a strange man of the empire. He has traveled the mainland for decades and seen countless wonders and countless people and things. It is said that the master is for grinding Practicing cooking skills really makes me a little admired."
Ji Chengxue filled a white jade cup with a cup of fine nectar and jade liquid wine, and said respectfully to the ghost chef Wang Ding, as soon as he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Wang Ding also raised the jade cup, motioned to Ji Chengxue, drank it all in one gulp, smacked his lips, and praised the good wine.
"Your Majesty is absurd. The old man is just a wanderer in the mainland, so I don't deserve such a compliment from Your Majesty." Wang Ding chuckled.
Ji Chengxue really admired the old man in front of him. Of course, most of it was because of his culinary skills and strength. However, the fact that Wang Ding, the ghost chef, traveled to the mainland was very real.
"Master Wang is humble. The Qianlong Continent is vast and boundless. I know that the Qingfeng Empire is just a small piece of land in the mainland. I yearn for the vast world in my heart, so my admiration for Master Wang comes from the bottom of my heart."
"If Master Wang has time, why don't you introduce me to some places in Qianlong Continent, so that I can satisfy my curiosity." Ji Chengxue raised his glass to the ghost chef Wang Ding again.
The ghost chef did not shirk, he was born in the Qingfeng Empire, rose in the empire, and became famous all over the world as a ghost chef. After that, he traveled to the mainland for decades, and only lived in seclusion in Qingyang outside the barren land a few years ago. Town, opened a small restaurant.
Everyone in the hall suddenly looked at the ghost chef curiously and listened attentively.
People always have an unsettled longing for the unknown, even if these people are nobles and dignitaries in the empire, it's the same.
Even someone as strong as Xiao Meng held his breath curiously.
"I have traveled the mainland for dozens of years. To be honest, I haven't completely traveled the mainland. The continent is endless. I feel that I may not be able to figure out the end of my life, but it's not like I won't get anything."
"Your Majesty should know about the wild land. The vast and boundless wild land with countless beasts is a forbidden area for human beings, but on the mainland, there are many other places like this." The ghost chef Wang Ding took a sip of Bing Xinyu The pot of wine, took a long breath, and said slowly.
"In the north there is a vast and endless swamp called the Illusory Spirit Pond. The danger there is no less dangerous than the barren land. The Spirit Pond is vast, but there are also very rich species of spirit beasts and countless elixir. The elixir exists, the old man has trekked in the Illusory Lingze for several years, and has seen many strange races in it, for example, the snake people, the scorpion people and so on."
Everyone in the hall suddenly took a breath, the snake-human race... this sounds like a very powerful look.
"There is a big city in Lingze, which was built by the snake people. It is very majestic and majestic. There are many strong people in the snake people, far from our Qingfeng Empire. However, in the illusory spirit lake, the snake city is not the strongest. , There is also a villa built in the clouds and mist in Lingze, called Baiyun Villa, the old man has only heard the name of this villa, but has not seen it with his own eyes."
Ji Chengxue's eyes were shining brightly, her heart was filled with blood, and she took a deep breath, Baiyun Villa, the big city of snake people...the continent is so big, there are no surprises there.
"In the east, there is a continuous river, known as the Hundred Thousand Rivers, which contains endless mountains and peaks. It is the most terrifying area. It took me ten years to walk through a few mountains... Mountains The forces in it are intricate, there are spirit beasts, humans, and unknown races, and they all compete for the resources in Dachuan and develop themselves."
"In the south there is an endless ocean, endless as far as the eye can see, and you don't know where the end is..."
The ghost chef Wang Ding said a lot, maybe it’s been a long time since he told some of his deeds. Tonight, his words are special, describing some of the dangers he has experienced, so that everyone in the hall has a feeling. An unprecedented experience.
It turns out that the mainland... is really so vast and incredible.
"Master Wang is truly a god-man. He said these are places that we can hardly imagine. The illusory spirit in the north, the hundred thousand rivers in the east, and the endless sea in the south... Huh, my heart is pounding when I hear it." Ji Chengxue raised his wine glass again , A toast to Ghost Chef Wang Ding.
Wang Ding also raised his glass and drank it all.
Suddenly, a burst of fragrance wafted over, and several graceful court ladies came slowly with porcelain plates, and the rich aroma burst out from the porcelain plates.
Seeing this scene, Ji Chengxue burst out laughing, "Haha, it's finally here, Master Wang, have a taste, this is the sea oyster bag that I specially sent someone to buy from Boss Bu, Master Wang has studied cooking deeply, Should like it."
The ghost chef Wang Ding was taken aback for a moment, and then he looked at a porcelain plate placed in front of him by the maid. There was only a hemispherical, bulging golden fried bun on the plate.
Ji Chengxue licked his lips, picked up a piece of sea oyster bag, took a bite, and immediately exuded a strong aroma. The plump sea oyster entrance made him completely intoxicated. Because he was busy with business, he usually wanted to satisfy his hunger. I can only eat this sea oyster bun.
It's really fragrant... the fragrance is unbelievable!
The ghost chef took a deep breath, and the strong aroma instantly provoked his taste buds, making him salivate uncontrollably.
He also picked up the sea oyster bag, took a bite, and made a crisp sound.
The skin of the sea oyster bun shattered immediately, and the aroma burst out of it like a bomb, completely enveloping him, making him intoxicated in it, unable to extricate himself, his mouth could not stop, chewing constantly, the smell of meat, the aroma of sea oysters , and the fragrance of shredded radish mixed together, presenting him with an unprecedented taste.
"Delicious! It's so delicious!" Wang Ding came back to his senses, swallowed a mouthful, and was full of praise immediately.
"Haha! As long as Master Wang likes it, because I have a banquet today, I specially sent many people to buy this sea oyster bag from Boss Bu. Each person is limited to one piece, and there are only two pieces of sea oyster bag today. , might have exhausted Boss Bu." Ji Chengxue laughed loudly.
"Boss Bu? Can you tell me the owner of the Fangfang shop in the alley?" Wang Ding was stunned, looked at Ji Chengxue, and asked suspiciously.
"Exactly. Does Master Wang know Boss Bu?" Ji Chengxue was surprised.
The ghost chef Wang Ding shook his head with a strange expression, took a bite of the sea oyster bun, and said: "Before I entered the palace, I just came out of the small shop."
oh? Now Ji Chengxue also became very interested. The ghost chef Wang Ding can be called the man with the best culinary skills in the empire. I don't know what kind of evaluation he will have after tasting Boss Bu's cooking skills.
"Boss Bu's culinary skills are impeccable, especially every dish contains a strong infuriating energy, which is very unbelievable, and it is not something ordinary people can do." Ghost Chef said, but just after finishing speaking, he Just frowned.
"But... Your Majesty, there is a saying that I don't know if I should say it or not."
"But it's okay to say." Ji Chengxue became serious.
"The origin of this small shop is unclear, and the identity of the boss is unknown. It exists in the imperial capital of the Qingfeng Empire, a royal capital, and it may bring unimaginable disasters to the imperial capital." The ghost chef Wang Ding's face was stiff. Stop, said seriously.
At this moment, Ji Chengxue, Xiao Meng, and old man Ouyang were all stunned.
Boss Bu will bring disaster to the imperial capital? Just kidding...
