The gourmet said: "You know my problem. If it's not delicious, I will definitely not eat it. I'd rather be hungry."
Lan Jue said indifferently: "I know! But I also know that you love noodles the most. This is our common hobby. Try it."
The gourmet smiled slightly, took the big bowl, and started eating with chopsticks. He knew exactly what his own chili tasted like, and after taking a sip, he nodded in satisfaction and began to eat.
Don't think it's easy to fry spicy oil, but in fact, the fire control must be extremely precise. In this respect, Lan Jue has obviously got the essence.
Oily noodles, add some vinegar. Simple, straightforward, unbeatable!
Siri was snoring, and in just a few minutes, two large bowls of noodles were eaten. Lan Jue groaned contentedly, wiped his mouth, and leaned back on the chair.
"You still have enough chili here, how about it, my craftsmanship is not bad, right?"
The gourmet curled his lips, "I can barely enter. You kid came to the door and even took the initiative to cook. You can see that it is either rape or robbery. Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Lan Jue smiled slightly, "People from the Pope's Castle and the Dark Castle will be coming in a few days, you know about this. Five exchanges, four one-on-one, one five-on-five. Five-on-five is one person short , one-to-one is still three. Which one are you coming to?"
The gourmet was stunned for a moment, and said flatly, "The reward is a bowl of fried noodles?"
Lan Jue shrugged, "What else do you want?"
The gourmet thought for a while and said, "I remember a sommelier who drank too much and said that he had a good bottle of wine from Lehua Dionysus, one of the three gods of wine in the Shangyuan era, called Li Qibao."
Lan Jue's eyes widened instantly, "Master Gourmet, are you planning to kill me? That's the lifeblood of a sommelier."
The gourmet shrugged, "You don't want to drink?"
Lan Jue smiled wryly, "Is it possible? How could I not want to drink?"
The gourmet said: "I serve the dishes. I do my best to serve them! Wine, how can owning it compare to drinking it? I believe that the sommelier himself has never drunk it. So, I think we have a chance."
Lan Jue's facial muscles twitched, "You don't mean to let me rob you?"
The gourmet smiled slightly, "Of course not, we are civilized people. Don't worry about the rest, after I make a plan, you just follow me to implement it. I promise you won't be beaten to death by the sommelier."
Lan Jue shook his head instantly, "No. I'm going to find someone else."
To snatch food from a tiger's mouth in front of a master, he's not that bad, that's an act of courting death!
At this moment, Lan Jue suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and the gourmet's hut instantly became pitch black, and an incomparably cold aura surged from all directions. In an instant, he seemed to have entered another world.
Lan Jue suddenly turned around.
Everything around has completely turned into darkness, only Gourmet is still sitting there. It's just that his temperament has undergone a completely opposite change.
"When?" Lan Jue asked without thinking.
"After I came back from you that day." The gourmet's smile was still warm.
Lan Jue took a deep breath and gave him a thumbs up, "Okay, I agree."
Everything around has returned to normal, the gourmet is still sitting there, the empty bowl of noodles on the table is still far away, and the aroma of spicy oil in the room has not dissipated. However, Lan Jue looked at the gourmet with completely different eyes.
"I'm leaving." Lan Jue walked out.
The gourmet said indifferently: "Five against five count me as one. For one against one, go find someone else."
Lan Jue nodded, "Do you have any recommendations?"
The gourmet said: "On the lower floor, there is a beggar and a drug seller. Find the rest yourself."
"Understood." Lan Jue nodded and walked out of the gourmet's hut.
The moment he went out, his eyes became extremely shiny. A knowing smile also appeared on his face.
Two castles, come on!
Five-on-five has been resolved, and one-on-one is still two people away. Beggar, is that guy? He doesn't appear to be a commissioner.
Taking the elevator to the underground Tianhuo Avenue, Lan Jue walked to one side based on his impression. After a short time, he saw what he was looking for.
The man couldn't tell his age, because he was a bit dirty, his face was dirty, and his hair was disheveled. She was wearing a coat that hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time, with small patches on top of large patches. Leaning against the corner, looking drowsy.
If it wasn't for the gourmet, Lan Jue would have never paid attention to this person, and walked slowly to the beggar. Lan Jue stopped.
The beggar closed his eyes and flicked his wrist, but something flew towards Lan Jue.
Lan Jue raised his hand subconsciously and scooped the thing into his hand.
A dirty metal sign with four words on it: Begging permitted. There is also the sign of the Tianhuo Avenue Committee below.
Then the beggar waved his hand at Lan Jue like a fly.
Lan Jue smiled, "I'm not from the law enforcement team. It's useless for you to show me this." While speaking, he threw the metal plate back.
The beggar raised his hand to catch it, and then opened his eyes.
His eyes were the same as his own, lazy, black pupils were even a little dim, he glanced up and down at Lan Jue, and then closed his eyes again.
"It was the gourmet who asked me to come to you. There is something I would like to ask for your help." Lan Jue said.
Hearing the word gourmet, the beggar opened his eyes again in an instant, and his eyes, which were very dim before, clearly became brighter.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, "He wants to treat me to dinner?" The beggar's voice turned out to be very nice, thick and sweet, with a perfect baritone.
Lan Jue said: "I don't know if he invited you to dinner or not. Anyway, he asked me to come to you. I believe that he must have his reasons."
The beggar curled his lips and said: "What's the point? It's just to trouble me. No, no. I won't go anywhere if there is no food or drink. I have been a beggar for three years, and I won't change it even for an emperor. I didn't listen. Have you said that? My old man is still going to sleep, so hurry up and don't disturb me."
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat, "I heard from the gourmet that the sommelier has a bottle of Le Hua Dionysus Li Qibao."
"Huh?" The beggar's eyes lit up again, this time, even with a cold light, "Is it true? There is such a good wine in the miser's place? Why didn't I know."
"If I let you know, he would have been in trouble for a long time. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days." A faint voice sounded behind Lan Jue, and there was no need to look back. Lan Jue also knew that it was the gourmet who came in person. .
"Can you get it for me to drink? There are three wine gods of wine. With the character of a miser, I don't know how well it is hidden." The beggar said angrily.
The gourmet said indifferently: "If I can pester him for a while, can you find it?"
The beggar's eyes moved, "It will take at least an hour. Can you do it?"
The gourmet nodded, "Yes."
The beggar chuckled, "What to eat?"
The gourmet said indifferently: "Top snowflake beef with white truffle, pan-fried Hailing star blue lobster."
The beggar swallowed hard, and said without hesitation, "Deal. When will we do it?"
The gourmet said: "We'll talk about it after you finish the work first." While talking, he pouted at Lan Jue.
Lan Jue interjected: "The Pope's Castle and the Dark Castle are coming to our place for an exchange match. There will be four one-on-one matches. There is a shortage of people. Count you in."
The beggar frowned, "All right."
Lan Jue nodded with a smile, and the gourmet turned around and left.
The beggar looked at his back pitifully, "Can I have another meal of boiled lobster? I haven't eaten anything tasty for a long time."
The gourmet said coldly: "If you can wash yourself clean, I'll think about it."
The beggar nodded and said seriously, "Okay, then wait for my news."
Lan Jue followed the gourmet, "I've never heard of him before."
The gourmet smiled slightly, "His personality is a bit special. He used to be a great talent in his early years, but he was severely stimulated and became mentally disturbed. He has been a beggar here for more than twenty years. When I came, he Here. He's not interested in anything but eating and drinking."
Lan Jue said: "I tried it just now, and the energy intensity in his body can't be detected clearly."
The gourmet smiled slightly, "When queuing up, if the King of Angels Mirenda of the Pope's Castle is there, you can send him out, that's right."
"Okay." Lan Jue was surprised. Mirenda is known as the number one under the ruler. Can a beggar deal with Mirenda
The gourmet smiled slightly, "Some things cannot be judged by common sense."
Lan Jue said: "Okay, then I'll go to the alchemist."
The gourmet said: "I won't accompany you to the one who wants money. You promise him how much you want, and the committee will naturally pay him."
"good."
The gourmet left alone, and Lan Jue walked along the underground Tianhuo Avenue, and soon stopped in front of an antique building.
This is a Shangyuan ancient Chinese-style building, simple and elegant, very grand. There is a plaque hanging on the front, with three golden characters on it: Taihe Hall.
On Tianhuo Avenue, this Hall of Supreme Harmony is definitely one of the top five buildings. It is so large that it is not even below the Tianhuo Museum.
There was a steady stream of people in front of the door. Even if the flow of people on Tianhuo Avenue is much less than before, it does not affect the flow of people in Taihe Hall.
As soon as Lan Jue entered the door, a man in a green coat and a hat immediately came up and said respectfully, "Jeweler, are you here? Please come inside." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand inside and made a gesture of please.
Lan Jue nodded and walked inside.
The interior of Taihe Hall is even more antique, with mahogany, stone and various classical decorations to create a strange atmosphere. As soon as people enter it, they can't help feeling that they have returned to ancient China in the Yuan Dynasty.
