In the end, Huai Shi didn't run away.
Of course, it didn't mean that he had moral integrity or that he was ready to die. It was just that Hu Po had sent him a message.
[Lao Guo is so mad at you that he's about to explode. Good luck to you. PS: If you leave this mess to me and run away, I'll sell your cross-dressing photos to Tomorrow News.]
The moment he saw this message, Huai Shi gave up on running away.
It didn't matter if his identity was exposed or not. The most important thing was that he couldn't cause trouble for little Hu Po!
[You've grown up, stinky sister.]
Huai Shi replied with a 'gratified' message, and then immediately blacklisted this wicked woman who had changed her mind. Finally, he sat on the chair and began to think about how to die.
In the end, was it because of the negative comments after his identity was exposed? Or would he be ravaged to death by Lao Guo's cooking?
Both of them would suffer the same pain, and the process would be equally long.
It was hard to decide.
In the middle of the night, Huai Shi hesitated for a long time after pacing back and forth for a long time. Finally, he called the almighty hotline of Heavenly Dog Mountain. "Mr. Longshan Fang, I have a friend …"
On the other side of the phone, Longshan Fang coughed. "Huai Shi -kun, we're already very familiar with each other. You don't have to be so formal."
"No, I mean, I really have a friend …"
Longshan Fang was silent for a long time, and then asked straightforwardly, "Huai Shi -kun, is your friend … very familiar with you?"
"…" Huai Shi rolled his eyes and raised his voice. "Anyway, I have a friend —"
"Okay, okay, I got it." Longshan Fang was helpless, and asked in an 'I know everything' tone, "And then?"
Huai Shi's voice suddenly became hesitant. After a long stutter, he asked uneasily, "She accidentally accepted a challenge from a Dongxia cooking demon, um … an old man named Guo Shouque. May I ask if there's any crash training class on Heavenly Dog Mountain that can teach her some tricks to turn defeat into victory?"
Silence, a long silence.
It was not until Huai Shi thought there was something wrong with the phone signal that he heard a dull voice from the other side.
"Huai Shi -kun, your friend …"
Dragon Mountain Square thought for a long time and finally asked, "Does she want to eat something good?"
"… She doesn't want to, thank you!"
Huai Shi was furious. "I'm not joking."
"I know, I know!"
The Dragon Mountain Workshop's tone became heavy. "Huai Shi -kun, I understand your feelings, but this kind of thing is completely … completely …"
After repeatedly confirming that the Guo Shouque mentioned by Huai Shi was the same Guo Shouque that they knew, Dragon Mountain Square became even more distressed. "Mr. Huai Shi, eighty years ago, when Mister Guo, as the most famous culinary demon in the whole of Eastern Xia, was invited to Mount Tiangou for guidance, I hadn't even entered the door yet …
Although it's rumored that he retired due to his injuries, if he were to fight the Human Cooking Demon again, I'm afraid that in the entire Tengu Mountain, only Daitengu would be able to win against him, right? "
Therefore, the people of Yingzhou were really tactful with their words.
Huai Shi translated what he meant and found that it was actually very simple — there's no hope. Just wait for death. Goodbye.
"Is there really no other way?"
So, brother, aren't your expectations of us a little too high?
Dragon Mountain Workshop sighed. "It's a pity. Although Mount Tiangou is somewhat famous among the culinary demons, it's not to the extent that it's unbeatable. After all, in this world, there are still sacred places like Mount Shaoshi's Fragrant Kitchen, Tianzhu's Sacred River, Nordic Golden Palace, Rome's Anton Nun's House, and so on. Even among the nameless, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
You're talking about that Miss Huai Shiki from not long ago, right? In fact, I've also heard about her performance in the past few days. Even Daitengu praised her for her ingenuity in using her skills. However, there's still a huge shortcoming that hasn't been fixed. "
"Hmm?" Huai Shi was stunned. "What are you referring to?"
"Compared to creation, Miss Huai Shiki is more inclined to use, right?"
Dragon Mountain Workshop hit the nail on the head. "She doesn't have any interest in forging ahead on the path of the culinary demon. To put it bluntly, she doesn't treat culinary skills as a pursuit, but purely as a tool, just like a bartender.
Of course, this isn't a big flaw. Mount Tiangou doesn't lack such people. After all, the path of culinary arts is as vast as the sea. It's not easy to even grasp the essence left behind by the predecessors. “
He paused for a moment and said seriously, "But this method won't work in front of Guo Shouque."
"He's already too old. Huai Shi -kun is too experienced. He's so experienced that he won't be swayed even if his opponent brings out a dish that has already existed. Because he's already prepared countermeasures against all methods."
"If your friend wants to duel with Guo Shouque, then she can't hope to defeat him with some secret technique from a hundred years ago.
Because he's existed even longer than the secret technique. Even something older than him can't defeat him. His existence is the combination of the culinary demon techniques of Dongxia that have existed for more than five thousand years. "
Dragon Mountain Workshop said, "Miss Huai Shiki, you must think of another way."
"…"
After a long silence, Huai Shi let out a long breath. "I understand. Thank you very much, Dragon Mountain Workshop."
"No need. It's too embarrassing." Dragon Mountain Workshop smiled helplessly. "Other than some nonsense, I can't do anything to help."
"No, these words are enough."
After saying goodbye, Huai Shi hung up the phone. He casually took off his coat from the hanger and looked at the night sky outside the window.
"I've been here for so many days, and I haven't gone out at all. I'm going out to visit my neighbors." He turned around and said, "You guys take care of the house and protect Zhen Xi. Don't use the TV to play strange programs, understand?"
"Holy! Holy! Holy! "
Behind him, a flock of Iron Crows nodded vigorously. They had a look that said, "Don't worry, I understand."
God knows if they understood or not.
Huai Shi thought for a moment. Amidst the wailing of the crows, he directly cut the wires of the TV and pulled out the top-up card from the player.
Just like that, Hawaiki-san's figure disappeared into the night.
For a long time, in the silence, the crows looked at each other. After confirming that Huai Shi had really left, they excitedly flapped their wings.
A selfless Crow picked up both ends of the wires and restarted the TV.
Then, from the sofa, under the bed, on top of the cabinet, in the crevices of the wall, and in the soil of the garden … the gifts from the Nara crows.
The DVD player was turned on.
Under the illumination of the light on the screen, the crows gathered in one place. They focused on learning, carefully observing, and reveling in the advanced knowledge of Yingzhou.
Only the faint sound of "holy" could be heard faintly.
.
.
"I understand. I will give the Shimazu clan's invitation full consideration. Please don't worry. For the long-term cooperation between the two families, the alliance between Anfang and Satsuma will continue. "
"The business strategy of the Guan Yama Group will not change in the next two years."
"… If the Asakura clan has such a plan, then the Riken clan will reconsider the next stage of investment in the country of Echizen. The Riken clan will not compromise on the location of the Mercedes production base. "
"Stimulating the economy and revitalizing the development is a matter of course. Please rest assured, Mr. Mayor. The Riken clan will always be the guardian of Anfang. This will not change. Next, I will arrange for people to discuss the issue of relief funds. "
"Nonsense, go back to your master and wag your tail."
"It is a foregone conclusion that Taiqing Heavy Industries will fully enter the Yingzhou market. However, the officials of the Ministry of Economic Affairs do not have to be troubled. If you look at it from another perspective, this may not be a bad thing."
"The selection of the Hachikuchi Warriors has been scheduled. Unfortunately, I have already made arrangements for Yoide's master. However, the loyal candidate has not been considered for the time being. Before that, I need to see more sincerity. "
"…"
When the six-hour continuous meeting ended, when Hu Po came back to his senses, the sky was already bright.
Expressing his position, listening, mediation, and judgment, expressing his position, hiding his bottom line, disguising his strategy, bribing his friends, and deterring his enemies …
Countless things were tangled up in an intricate manner, and this was just the beginning.
Next, there were still representatives of the three families waiting, but compared to the previous matter, it was a trivial matter. After instructing his subordinates to arrange for tomorrow, Riken took a last look at Anfang, who was sitting in the quiet room, and suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.
Staying here was really too boring …
She pushed the door open.
Order had been restored in the Riken clan.
The people of Yingzhou did not seem to panic about the arrival of the disaster, and they did not feel strange after the disaster left. As if they were already accustomed to it, the servants from Anfang had once again filled the vacancies and continued to operate the huge manor.
Everything was in order.
Only the cracks on the walls that could not be repaired for the time being and the traces of collapse proved the existence of yesterday's turmoil.
After sensing the existence of Hu Po, the servants who had been busy in the early morning quietly retreated to both sides of the road, weakened their sense of existence, and respectfully lowered their heads to avoid disturbing the mood of the future master.
In the quiet, the spacious courtyard built by a famous architect was filled with zen.
But for some reason, Hu Po somewhat missed the loud cleaning auntie at the Jinling Social Security Bureau. Although she couldn't be more familiar with her, every time she saw her, she would shout a few times. Occasionally, when she bought chives and pork from the cafeteria, she would quietly tell her that there were big buns today and to remember to get off work early, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to make it.
But the buns were too greasy.
Every time she stuffed them with so many, she couldn't finish them …
Hu Po sighed and looked at the birds flying across the sky. Suddenly, she softly sighed, "It's not good to be too quiet."
She turned around and walked to her bedroom, intending to take a nap before noon, but her footsteps paused.
She felt a faint aura slowly brewing not far away.
Like surging underground fire, the rising lava arched the earth. Through the thick layers of earth, it emitted waves of heat that could not be ignored.
When she walked around the corner and came to the lakeside, she saw the skinny figure.
It was as if he had aged ten years overnight.
But the evil hidden in the body became more and more shocking.
It was almost … about to burst out!
