Chapter 259 Great Expectations

The dinner ended in a joyful atmosphere.

It can be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

All the dishes cooked by Huai Shi were happily eaten by the guests without leaving any bite. They praised Huai Shi's cooking skills and expressed their own praise and admiration.

That's weird.

Huaishi didn't know whether Bin was happy or not, but as a chef, Huaishi was quite happy.

Happy and joyful.

Before Lin Yu left, he gave her a lot of coupons and told her that she could continue to eat for free next time.

As for whether she is happy or not, no one knows.

After eating, she no longer cried or growled, or even made any sound.

He doesn't cry or laugh, he only likes to be quiet and doesn't like to make noises. It's like having a free prefrontal lobotomy.

He opened his mouth with empty eyes and ate the plate he was served in one mouthful. Finally, after finishing the dessert, he ushered in the erosion of the essence that broke out from the inside out, and finally exited.

“Poor hospitality.”

Huai Shi took off the white towel on her arm and waved it in her hand as a way to see off the guests.

Then, at the invitation of Chef Watanabe, he returned to the kitchen and joined the lively employee meal.

Several chefs exchanged cooking skills among themselves, and finally made a blessing smoothie for everyone to digest after the meal, which won unanimous praise from a large group of aliens.

Just after finishing dinner, a burst of flames suddenly burst out from the kitchen stove. A figure in a suit climbed up from inside. He coughed a few times and wiped the dust from his face.

"Feel sorry."

He looked at the chef: "Is there a Mr. Huaishi here?"

"Um?"

Huai Shi, who was sipping the buckwheat noodles, turned around in astonishment. When he saw the visitor coughing a few times, he politely walked over, bent down, bowed at 90 degrees, and respectfully handed over his business card with both hands.

"Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the Kitchen Demon Competition?"

Huai Shi was stunned: "Are you looking for me?"

"To be precise, I am here to visit you on behalf of the Kitchen Demon Competition Organizing Committee and deliver a notice to you."

The visitor did not raise his head and continued to bow at 90 degrees. He took out a rather quaint and serious letter from his briefcase and presented it with both hands.

Opening the envelope, a black card slipped out.

It is also engraved with the essence fluctuation of Huai Shi, which is obviously specially made.

"What's this?"

"Your ID."

The secretary of the Kitchen Demon Competition solemnly announced: "The organizing committee greatly appreciated your outstanding performance and unanimously approved your promotion decision - your talents and skills no longer need to be verified by competitions. His actions promoted the essence of dark cuisine and brilliantly demonstrated his outstanding talents as a chef.

Congratulations, Mr. Huai Shi, from today on, you are a true cooking devil. "

As soon as he finished speaking, before Huaishi could react, Chef Watanabe beside Huaishi suddenly stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

Immediately afterwards, the two chefs, four assistant chefs and all the restaurant staff stood up, looked at him with surprise and envy, and clapped and praised him.

"おめでとう!槐诗くん!"

Chef Watanabe, who had a cold personality, grabbed Huai Shi's hand and congratulated her warmly. His face turned red with joy, as if he was even more excited than Huai Shi when he saw a child from the village admitted to Peking University.

"槐さん, おめでとう!"

"おめでとう!"

A group of people gathered around Huaishi and clapped and praised with congratulatory smiles. Huaishi was so frightened that he suddenly felt as if all mankind had turned into orange juice.

I'm shocked, why are you happier than me?

In order to celebrate the chance encounter between Huaishi and his promotion to a chef in his kitchen, Watanabe also asked his apprentice to take out a bottle of sake he had collected and unsealed it, and invited the secretary who came to inform him, and everyone had two drinks together.

Huaishi was quite surprised by this.

I don't know how the sake was brewed, but it was actually rich in the vitality of a large number of plants, as well as the scent of dozens of abyssal plants that Huaishi had never felt before.

After drinking a small cup, all the old wounds were healed, and he sighed happily. The chef glanced at the apprentice, who immediately sat next to Huai Shi and poured wine for him.

Unlike Huaishi, the secretary couldn't even taste the drink. After taking a sip, his expression suddenly became pleasantly surprised: "Could this be...a treasure from Mount Tengu?"

"It was given by the master when I was still studying." The chef smiled reservedly: "I'm leaving now. I didn't expect to encounter such a happy event. Drinking it here is worthy of this bottle. Good wine.”

After Huai Shi took a sip, she still didn't know it was a good thing and didn't dare to drink more.

"Speaking of which, if it hadn't been for Mr. Kitty's call just now, I wouldn't have known that I got your help." The chef nodded and said, "Although it's inconvenient to say more about the reason, please have a drink, you deserve it." of."

"..."

Huai Shi was dumbfounded while holding the wine glass.

Although I don’t understand what happened, people treat me to drinks for free, so just drink!

But he still couldn't react, "Am I a cooking devil now?"

"Oh, your heroic appearance in the competition is really something I've never seen before. Please don't belittle yourself."

The secretary toasted respectfully and then introduced: "With that card, you can rent a kitchen at any time in the current situation, the border or even any hell place, free of charge.

If you choose to open at a designated location, your restaurant will automatically be certified by Hungry Mouth. And you can dine for free in most restaurants in all hell. No, it should be said that most restaurants are happy to entertain a cooking devil like you..."

Talking about the goodness of this card, the secretary immediately gushed: "His Excellency Hannibal and the Butcher of Paradise spoke highly of your performance and your talent. You have a bright future. Especially you are also a disaster musician. A legendary investigator, and..."

He paused, suddenly looked up and looked around, as if to confirm that there were no cameras around, then lowered his voice and said, "You are from the Abyss, right?"

"Huh?" Huaishi was stunned for a moment, then became a little uneasy: "Is there any problem?"

"I feel ashamed to say it. My cousin's aunt's second son's colleague asked me to bring you a message." The secretary lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "There is a great future in the abyss..."

"no."

Huai Shi waved her hands decisively and looked serious.

He still doesn't understand what the secretary is trying to say. In this world, it can now be seen at a glance that he is from the Kingdom of Heaven. Apart from the remaining institutions of the Utopia, there is probably only the 'Golden Dawn' formed after everyone collectively solidified and fell into the abyss. 'Yes.

How dare he get involved with these bad guys?

With so many shameful things under his butt, he is still a remnant of the Kingdom of Heaven.

It's enough to offend the rancher, but if you combine it with another destructive factor, you might think you don't die quickly enough.

The secretary did not forget his own job. After mentioning it once, he never mentioned it again.

After drinking, the secretary climbed back into the fire on the stove and disappeared. Huai Shi simply stayed in the staff dormitory of the restaurant.

The apprentice tidied up a room specially for him, enjoyed VIP treatment, and then opened the business at midnight to make late-night snacks for the ghosts who had finished their night tour.

Huai Shi lay on the bed, drowsy, looking at the card in his hand over and over.

Suddenly, a bright idea came to me.

The Cooking Demon's certificate can allow you to eat for free in the abyss, so the Disaster Musician's certificate, wouldn't it be...

Late at night, the halls of the ancient mansion were brightly lit.

On the seat at the top, the old man was awakened from his nap. He raised his eyes sleepily and saw that the hall was full of people.

There was also a wheelchair that was pushed up, and Lin Yu was sluggish in the wheelchair.

The old man's pupils raised slightly, and a glimmer of understanding flashed through the turbid gloom.

"Xiaoyu? You don't even know your great-grandfather anymore..." He smiled nonchalantly: "It's really shameful to come back like this...Forget it, I see it's so late, so don't do anything else. Now, let’s all go and rest.”

The other people understood immediately and had already become accustomed to the strange situation. They stood up and prepared to leave. Only the woman holding the wheelchair still raised her head unwillingly and wanted to speak: "Grandpa, grandpa, then let's forget about this matter... ?"

"What if?"

The old man laughed strangely, "Could it be that since she is your biological daughter, she is not my great-granddaughter? When your man had his legs broken outside and was sent back, did I say anything?"

The woman's expression froze.

The old man continued to ask: "My seven grandchildren, except for your man and the third child, their four dead brothers and brothers, are they not my grandchildren?"

"..."

The woman's face was pale. Even though she had heard about it, she still found it difficult to accept such a cold ending: "But, but, that person was in the live broadcast..."

"So it's all nonsense to say that a loving mother often loses her son."

The old man sighed regretfully, shook his head and said: "From the time I can remember, I have seven uncles, and only one of them can survive to this day. I have fourteen brothers, and only Xiaoba and I can achieve this." I am the only fifth-level person.

You only have one daughter, and she is not dead, she is alive and well. Let me tell you, Xiaoqin, you should be happy. "

There was no indifference or alienation in those words. Rather, it was as serious as telling the truth, which allowed no one to argue.

The woman froze in place.

But the old man raised his head, seeming to be more awake, and his muffled voice became clearer.

"Since everyone is here today, let's talk more."

He looked around at his heirs, nodded and said: "Among you, some are sublimated, some are not, some are surrounded by enemies outside, and some have not gone out yet... Those who have not come back are not already To die is to seek death.

You are doing evil outside and doing whatever you like and do as you like. You are all hard-working children, which is very good. The Lin family has been like this since ancient times. "

He asked, "Is there anyone who doesn't know that all of us in the Lin family are insane?"

There was a sound of laughter.

The few people sitting at the front laughed without scruples when they heard the head of the family's words, and nodded in agreement.

"That's right."

The old man patted his knees with satisfaction, and his gloomy eyes lit up with a captivating light: "If you want to become a Zhulong, if you want to pursue the power of this sublimation path, this is the way to go!

How can one transform the essence without attracting hatred? If you don't cause trouble, how can you get evil consequences? Do you want to do good deeds by helping me across the street? "

Below, the wanton laughter grew louder and louder.

No scruples.

Dozens of jet-black energy fluctuations rose into the sky, instantly engulfing all the stars on this border and covering them, darkening the sky and the earth.

But in the darkness, the old man's turbid eyes were as cold as the scorching sun, shooting out a violent light, and his hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears, like a hammer hammering a nail. Knock your own words into their souls word by word.

"Remember, you choose your own path. Whether you are here or not here, whether you are surnamed Lin or not, from the first day you set foot on the road of Zhulong, don't think about it. Try to be an idle person who does not cause trouble.

Go to fight, go to grab, go to seize! Go and make enemies! Go get beaten until you come back crawling like a dog, and then take revenge after digesting it!

Whether you become a witch and collect sediment from the abyss, or you become a spell master and steal from the crowds of hell, this is the path you have chosen, a path of death and no life!

Those who are afraid can go to the back mountain at any time to use the Thunder Tribulation Secret Ritual to wash away the stigmata, and then take the money to become the second generation ancestor in the present place. From now on, they should not say that they are from the Lin family - for them, and such a family, It would be bad luck to have a relationship.

But what about you? What is the Lin family to you? "

The old man's eyes were blazing like sun disks, and his voice shook the entire border: "I'm here to tell you, the Lin family is your life-saving talisman!

With this life-saving talisman, you can cause trouble as you please outside without any taboos. As long as you can escape home alive, the elders will be able to keep you alive!

If you can still get up, just lick your wounds and go out to do whatever you want. If you can't get up, just close the door and become a waste. The Lin family has a great business and there is no shortage of food like yours.

I have told you this countless times since you were young, but I ask you now - what should you do if you die outside? "

Facing the old man's question, a young man below answered loudly: "It's just that I died in vain."

"Yep!"

The old man clapped his hands with satisfaction and praised approvingly: "Little Nineteen still has a brain... Yes, he died in vain!

A loser who can't even go home, his death is in vain! Don't think about your family taking revenge on you. They won't even pay for your coffin! There is no discernible value even in doing evil things. It would be better for all such shameful things to die as soon as possible.

If you want to be a member of the Lin family, this is your fate!

——Do you understand everything? "

"clear!"

Everyone in the hall responded in unison.

"Very well, then go ahead and do whatever you have to do."

The old Zhulong nodded slowly, "It's not easy to go home, so go and recharge your batteries...and then I'll follow you wherever you go to kill people and set things on fire. You all have a bright future."

"As for Xiaoyu..."

He pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced at his granddaughter-in-law, and slowly shook his head: "The soul is damaged, let's send it to the abyss. Whether she can stand up from behind depends on her fate.

Now that she's back, I, as the great-grandfather, will be responsible for holding the original family accountable for her, so you don't have to worry. "

The woman holding the wheelchair trembled, not sure whether it was excitement or fear. After a long time, she lowered her head and said nothing else.

The old man closed his eyes and fell into a long sleep again.

Then, the sky and the earth were darkened.

I need to go out temporarily in the afternoon, so I will update it temporarily today.
