Late at night, Lane 23, South of Guangping City.

In the normally peaceful and quiet alley, a few figures crept through the shadows.One of them arrived at the door of Shen Qingyan's small shop, looked around, opened the door carefully, and waved to the companion behind him:

"Quick! Come here!"

So the few remaining people got into the shop one by one without making a sound.

Hong Wenming was waiting in the store, holding a candle in his hand, and the flickering candle flame flickered his face.

"Is everyone here?"

The man outside the store asked Hong Wenming, and seeing Hong Wenming nodded, he also ducked into the store.

The shop door closed silently.

Hong Wenming led these people all the way to the backyard of the shop, and said in a very soft voice while walking:

"Try to be quiet later. Brother Shen is currently cooking in the kitchen. When he cooks alone, he usually concentrates on nothing else, but if your voices are too loud, accidents will inevitably happen... Let's go here side."

He led them around a couple of times, walked into a remote small room in the courtyard, closed the door and blew out the candles with a "pop". Faces with different expressions.

"Everyone."

Hong Wenming stepped forward, bowed to everyone, and said in a serious tone: "First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming. I think everyone knows the purpose of coming here today. No matter where we are from or how we cultivate, At this moment, we are all brought together with the same purpose.”

"And this purpose! Is—"

He swiped open a long banner: "——How to send Shen Qingyan to Yunfu Mountain to practice!"

With the unfurling of this banner, whispers of "buzzing" immediately sounded in the small room, and the shops on South 23rd Lane began to discuss in a low voice.Hong Wenming waited patiently for a while. Seeing that they hadn't stopped, he knocked on the wooden door twice.

"Everyone, everyone!" Hong Wenming raised his voice slightly: "I know you must have doubts about this issue. After all, Senior Brother Shen stays in South Lane 23, and we all have benefits. If Senior Brother Shen goes to Yunfu Mountain, Not to mention, those delicious dishes will not be available for a while—may I ask if you think so?”

There was a murmur of echo in the room.

As expected, Hong Wenming said patiently, "Let me ask you a question first. You have lived in Guangping City for many years, right? You probably have some understanding of various aspects of the cultivation world. ?”

"But for a cultivator like Senior Brother Shen who is a good cook—no, even a mortal—may I ask if you have heard or seen it before?"

Seeing that no one answered, Hong Wenming raised his tone slightly: "I, Hong, think I have some understanding of the cultivation world, but I have never heard of or seen the craftsmanship of Senior Brother Shen!"

"I'm going to put my words here today, whether you count this cultivation world 1 years ahead or 1 years in the future, you will never find another person like Senior Brother Shen!"

"Since that's the case, then we can't treat Senior Brother Shen with a short-sighted view!"

He shook the banner in his hand, and said impassionedly: "Senior brother Shen, it is a treasure worthy of our cultivation world to pass on forever!"

"There is some truth in what you said, but he is an individual and not a treasure. How can he be passed down forever?"

Someone in the corner couldn't help asking.

After this person asked, he regretted it, and felt that he should not be such an early bird.Unexpectedly, Hong Wenming's eyes lit up when he heard this question, and he slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! It's because he is an individual rather than a treasure that we have a better chance of being passed on forever!"

Facing the bewildered crowd, Hong Wenming said solemnly: "Everyone, you have also dealt with Senior Brother Shen a lot in recent days. May I ask what do you think of Senior Brother Shen's qualifications?"

"Very good!"

An old man with a yellow beard who runs a pawn shop said firmly: "If the old man is 80 years younger, even if he is robbed, he will be snatched as a closed disciple!"

"Okay! Then let me ask again, judging from your relationship with Senior Brother Shen in the past few days, what do you think of his character?"

Hong Wenming asked next.Faced with his question, the old man with yellow beard hesitated for a moment: "It seems to be very good, but he has cultivated to build a foundation at a young age, and he has probably not experienced any hardships, and he is prone to madness when encountering wind and rain— —”

"What if I tell you again that my Senior Brother Shen suffered a tragic change back then, and his current foundation building cultivation has been achieved through his rebuilding?"

Hearing what Hong Wenming said, the old man with yellow beard couldn't help being startled, and after recovering, he sighed in a low voice: "If that's true, then his character is also the best choice."

"Okay! If that's the case, if we can send Senior Brother Shen to Yunfu Mountain so that he can get top-notch resources and teachings on the basis of top-notch aptitude and xinxing, then Senior Brother Shen will be able to achieve Jindan and form Yuanyuan." Baby, isn't it a matter of time?"

"The city of Guangping is too peaceful, Senior Brother Shen is an ordinary casual cultivator now, if we don't help him at this juncture, maybe he will waste his whole life on foundation building! And the lifespan of the foundation building period is only a short hundred years! "

Hong Wenming was almost heartbroken and said: "It's only a hundred years! Such a peerless delicacy can only exist in the cultivation world for a hundred years! Isn't it extremely regrettable that such a flash in the pan will disappear so quickly!"

Some monks in the Jindan stage and Yuanying stage in the room gradually became agitated: Before Hong Wenming mentioned this, they really never thought that if Shen Qingyan could only live for a hundred years, then there would be no food to eat after a hundred years What a difficult situation I will be in!

Soon, such discussions sounded from all around:

"That's right! It would be a pity if you can't eat that delicious food after a hundred years!"

"People say that it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal... I have tasted such delicious food every day, and I really can't imagine what it will be like if I can't eat it again..."

"That's right! It is for this reason that we are going to send Senior Brother Shen into Yunfu Mountain!"

Hong Wenming cheered up and shouted loudly: "If Senior Brother Shen can be made into a golden elixir and a Nascent Soul, he will live a thousand years in no time! At the same time, we can eat this delicacy for another thousand years..."

"And if he can go one step further, cultivate into a god and even cross the catastrophe, this delicacy will naturally remain in the world for a long time, wouldn't it be a treasure that can be passed on forever!"

After hearing his words, the small room fell into a moment of silence.

Immediately, voices sounded one after another.

"it is good!"

"That's right!"

"That's how it should be done!"

The old man with yellow beard also stroked the beard on his chin and laughed loudly: "Using our short-term efforts to achieve a thousand-year-old story in the cultivation world, the old man thinks this is very cost-effective!"

"... However, I still have one thing that I don't understand. Since Mr. Xiao Shen's aptitude and xinxing are all superior, if you want to become a disciple of Yunfu Mountain, you can only know the things in your hands. Why did you call us here? Could it be Xiao Shen? Does Mr. Shen have any barriers to break through, is there any lack of elixir and spirit stones?"

Facing the question of the old man with yellow beard, Hong Wenming's expression froze for a moment, and after a long silence, he showed a wry smile.

"It would be great if there is really a lack of pills and spirit stones..."

Hong Wenming muttered in a low voice, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"I called you today for this purpose!"

He rubbed his face, and said bitterly: "Senior Brother Shen is very stubborn, he refused to participate in the selection of Yunfu Mountain... he even refused to walk around in front of the people who went to Yunfu Mountain to select apprentices! I persuaded him for a long time I can't even persuade you, there is really no way..."

"what why??"

Everyone in the room was very surprised when they heard this: You must know that it is Yunfu Mountain!A Jiazi party can only get one chance, but who would not take the opportunity to take it?Why did Shen Qingyan refuse?

Someone in the corner couldn't help but ask: "Why did he do this? Could it be that he has some quarrel with Yunfu Mountain—"

"That's not true." Hong Wenming shook his head and said, "He feels that he has a rift with the Canghua faction, and joining Yunfu will inevitably bring Yunfu..."

"This--"

Everyone was a little dumbfounded when they heard it, and after a while, someone said bitterly: "This Canghua faction is really like a shit stick, why is there him everywhere!"

"Who said no!"

Hong Wenming didn't have the slightest awareness of being a disciple of the Canghua Sect, so he said without hesitation: "It would be great if the Canghua Sect can be eliminated, but the Canghua Sect is a big faction after all, and it is not so easy to perish. Brother Shen He is stubborn and stubborn, since the Canghua faction cannot be eliminated, it doesn't make sense to take the normal way to persuade him to think about it, we can only take a roundabout route..."

"What detour?"

Everyone was a little curious after hearing this, Hong Wenming glanced around, grasped the banner tightly and said word by word:

"We want to spread the reputation of Senior Brother Shen's shop as much as possible, so that those who come from Yunfu Mountain can find it by themselves!"

Everyone in the room was quiet for a while, and then they responded one after another, and some even said with a smile: "The people from Yunfu Mountain personally sent it to the door, no matter how firm Mr. ?”

"That's the reason!" Hong Wenming agreed, and he glanced at everyone: "How about my proposal? Do you have any objections?"

"No, no, of course there is no objection."

"After all, the premise of the matter is here. It is already a relatively good way to let the people from Yunfu Mountain come to the door..."

Everyone in the room said one after another.

Hong Wenming breathed a sigh of relief, and made another round of worship toward the house.

"This time is really troublesome to everyone, because this matter requires too much manpower, I really can't do it alone, so please help me. I believe that with our efforts, we will soon be able to make Senior Brother Shen’s small shop is so famous that everyone who enters Guangping City knows about it, making Senior Brother Shen so famous that there is no way to hide from Yunfu Mountain’s search!”

Hong Wenming said it loudly, with a look of pride, and everyone agreed with a chuckle.

Seeing that the most important thing has been dusted, Hong Wenming couldn't help but gradually relax. After chatting with everyone, he was about to discuss the next plan with everyone, when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with everyone's expressions:,

They looked at themselves with inexplicable and weird expressions, but their eyes were always vague, falling in the direction behind them...

What the hell is going on? !

Hong Wenming only felt his scalp go numb for a moment. He subconsciously held the broken sword at his waist, and turned around tremblingly. With a somewhat familiar figure...

The window was opened from the outside with a "snap", Shen Qingyan showed his face from the window, glanced sharply at the group of people in the room, and asked in a deep voice:

"Like Gao Yehan today, it's time to turn off the lights in the city, so why don't you just stay in your respective mansions and come to my small courtyard?"

Hong Wenming's body froze, he laughed and said, "That...Senior Brother Shen...we just..."

Before he had racked his brains to come up with an excuse, he saw Shen Qingyan frowning, and said in a very displeased voice:

"Whatever you want to eat, you come during the day. My small shop is not closed recently. Why do you come to my yard in the middle of the night and sneakily get things from the kitchen?"

"what?"

Hong Wenming was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but look back at the crowd, and asked with his mouth, "When did you steal something from the kitchen?!"

Whoever his gaze fell on would shake his head desperately with an innocent expression on his face. Some even shook their pockets and sleeves to indicate that their hands were indeed empty—damn you are all cultivators, okay?Do you need to hide something in your sleeve to steal something? !

Hong Wenming felt that his head was getting bigger, and it seemed extremely embarrassing.After looking at it for a long time, he felt that everyone looked like a thief at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that these people would not do such a thing, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Shen Qingyan:

"Dare to ask Brother Shen, what things are missing in your kitchen..."

"What's missing? You should ask me what's left!"

As soon as Shen Qingyan mentioned this festival, he suddenly felt out of breath: "I originally wanted to steam a basket of steamed buns with red bean paste. After the red beans were steamed and the stuffing was mixed, I turned around and kneaded the noodles. I looked back at the whole pot of steamed buns. The red bean paste is gone! I went to look for the red bean paste again, but I couldn’t find it for a while, and then I went back to the chopping board, and the pot of noodles that I mixed well was gone too!”

"I want to be a crucian carp, but the crucian carp is gone!"

"I want to cook an egg, but the egg is gone!"

"It really only takes me a blink of an eye to look back and see that all the things I took out have disappeared... You can just take one or two things, but it's too much to take everything! It's simply too much. Whether it is tolerable or unbearable!"

Seeing that Shen Qingyan really got angry, everyone in the room was a little dumbfounded, and someone said with a dry smile: "Mr. Shen, I didn't say that, today's matter really has nothing to do with me..."

"It's not me..."

"It's not me..."

The shopkeepers in South 23rd Lane talked one after another, and while they were talking, they sneaked out of the room in unison.Those with high cultivation base rely on their own realm to shrink without a trace, while those with low cultivation base would rather crush the teleportation talisman than stay here, but in the blink of an eye, everyone in the room disappeared without a trace. There was only Hong Wenming, who had no escape left, and Shen Qingyan looked at each other through the half-open window.

Hong Wenming looked left and right, and when he realized that he had been abandoned by his companions and had to face Shen Qingyan's anger, he couldn't help but look bitter, and said without tears:

"Senior brother Shen, I am really innocent in this matter..."

"I didn't say you were innocent."

Shen Qingyan frowned tightly, and interrupted Hong Wenming with a wave of his hand: "I don't think you can steal things silently under my nose. I don't think you can do that with your cultivation alone. Besides, you are enough to steal things tonight." I ate five biscuits, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to stuff half of them with two noodles, let alone those two big pots?”

He put his hands together and tapped the back of his hands with his fingertips. After a long silence, he suddenly said:

"I think we should try to catch the thief."

——In fact, Shen Qingyan has long noticed that there are occasional things missing in his kitchen.

How could it not be noticed?After all, he is the one who uses the kitchen the most!Even if the kitchen knife has been touched by someone, he can tell the clues, let alone the fact that the cooked dishes are directly missing one or two cents?

Like fragrant wontons, freshly marinated beef tongue, crispy fried peanuts... Even the sliced ​​saliva chicken and the freshly opened cans of distiller's grains have not escaped the clutches of the devil.But because there were not many missing items at that time, Shen Qingyan subconsciously thought that Hong Wenming had stolen them, so he didn't pay much attention at all.

Until recently, "Hong Wenming" started to become more and more arrogant. He took the buns and ate half of them as nothing, and even started to remove the red bean paste in front of him. Only then did Shen Qingyan realize that something was wrong.

Easily steal things without letting yourself know?Hong Wenming wasn't that good at stealing!

You must know that there are only the two of them in Shen Qingyan's small courtyard, Hong Wenming has no suspicions, and Shen Qingyan can't go crazy and steal himself, so there is only one possibility left...

Some thieves who stole from outside are quietly lurking in the small courtyard where they are.

After Shen Qingyan expressed his conjecture, Hong Wenming couldn't help but shudder severely.

"Senior Brother Shen, don't talk nonsense... There is someone who is staying in this yard... Just thinking about it makes people shudder!"

Hong Wenming looked around subconsciously, almost startled by the swaying shadow of the big tree.

Shen Qingyan shook his head, frowned and said: "I also hope that my guess is not true..."

If this is the case, then the life in Quang Binh City is a bit too scary!

In order to be able to catch the thieves who stole the food and wash away the shadows in the hearts of the two, both Hong Wenming and Shen Qingyan can be said to have spent a lot of energy on designing traps.

Even Hong Wenming devoted half of his mind to promoting the store, but Shen Qingyan devoted all his energy to it.After completing a series of traps, in order to successfully seduce the other party, Shen Qingyan even took out his trump card - barbecue in the open oven.

The small shop was not open that day, so Shen Qingyan set up a brazier in the corner of the small courtyard, twisted wire into a net and laid it on top of it. After preparing the barbecue materials, he slowly lit the charcoal fire in the brazier.

The charcoal is specially selected high-quality silver silk charcoal, which burns without a trace of smoke, and the temperature rises quickly, and the whole brazier quickly turns red.

Shen Qingyan first picked up a few slices of moderately thick pork belly, and just as soon as he put them on the wire net, white smoke of "嗤" came out, and a little bit of oil flakes came out from the texture of the meat, and at the same time there was a "sizzling" sound sound.After a while, the color of the pork belly gradually turned into a beautiful ripe red. Shen Qingyan sprinkled some seasonings on it, and roasted it for a while, and the tempting aroma soon permeated the entire small courtyard.

When it was sandwiched, the pork belly was roasted just right, the edges were slightly browned, but the inside was still plump and juicy, and the aroma was overflowing after one bite.

The most intolerable thing is that Shen Qingyan neither turned on the live broadcast nor called other people during the barbecue. He ate it by himself... While eating, he showed an expression of extreme enjoyment. Forget it, he took out a few more chicken wings that had been cut and marinated with a flower knife, and put them on the wire mesh and grilled them.

There was an endless sound of "Zi Zi" coming out of oily flowers, and the chicken wings were quickly roasted golden and fragrant. Shen Qingyan grilled two more slices of pork belly, and at the same time took another fat scallop and sprinkled it with minced garlic. Place on wire grill to start slow roasting.

The aroma of chicken wings, the burnt aroma of pork belly, the strong aroma of garlic scallops... the mixture of several aromas gradually rises in the small courtyard, like a cloud of hopeless aromas, covering the whole South 23rd Lane.

Hong Wenming, who was ordered to stay in the store, was drooling, standing on tiptoe looking at Shen Qingyan's position with yearning.The store in South 23 Lane who knew their plan early in the morning slipped away early, refusing to stay in the store and endure this painful and beautiful torture.

There were only a few shopkeepers who couldn't do without, sniffing the increasingly intense aroma with complex expressions, swallowing their saliva and talking nonchalantly to each other:

"Why hasn't Mr. Shen made this before? It smells so delicious... If only I knew what it tastes like..."

"If you want me to say, it's better not to know... I don't know the taste of this thing, or I can barely bear it; if I know the taste... I'm afraid that I will go to the small shop to grab it on impulse and run away ..."

While they were talking, a suspicious voice suddenly came from the entrance of the alley.

"What small shop? What are you talking about? Why does it smell so delicious here..."

After saying several "what"s, the voice suddenly realized something, and after a pause, it suddenly realized: "Oh! So you are here in the legendary South 23rd Lane!"
