Gong Mengbi and the others waited in the private room for a while but no one came. Wen Xiu was a little confused and asked, "Isn't Senior Kang here?"
Gong Mengbi shook his head with a smile and said, "Wait a moment, he must be cooking to entertain us."
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, a tall and burly man walked into the private room with a food tray. He smiled when he saw Gong Mengbi and said, "Brother Xian, you are finally here."
Fatty Kang put the delicacies on the table and smiled so happily that he rolled his eyes, "You told me to come here a long time ago, and it's already April."
Gong Mengbi said: "Things at Fox Courtyard still need to be taken care of, otherwise we would have been here long ago."
Fatty Kang said: "There is not much peace in the city these days. The government has ordered a curfew, and there will be no travel at the second watch. Otherwise, I can take you out for a walk after the doors are closed."
Gong Mengbi asked: "What happened?"
Fatty Kang shook his head: "The city gods are out. It must be something evil that harms people."
Gong Mengbi said: "No wonder I saw so many ghosts on the road when I came here. It won't affect you, right?"
Fatty Kang said: "It shouldn't happen. It's just a routine patrol by the ghost police. Nothing can go wrong."
Gong Mengbi said: "That's good. Brother, go and do your work first. I see that your restaurant is doing well. If you talk to me here again, the chef will be too busy."
Fatty Kang laughed and said, "You guys eat first, I'll come back later."
Fatty Kang continued to work in the kitchen, while Gong Mengbi and the four enjoyed the delicious food.
Fatty Kang's craftsmanship is like the spring breeze turning into rain, moistening things silently. It tastes not only the flavor, but also the charm of the king and his ministers complementing each other.
The skills you do are close to the Tao, that's it.
While Gong Mengbi was eating, Xiao Yier sneaked out once and added a plate of roast goose to Gong Mengbi, saying, "I'll come over when I finish my work."
He came and went in a hurry, which showed that the kitchen was really busy.
After the four people finished eating, the white-haired rat came up and cleared the table, and fewer and fewer people came to eat.
The second watch is coming.
An Yi Restaurant is just a restaurant, not an inn. You cannot stay overnight. When the time comes, diners will leave on their own to avoid violating the curfew.
The living people were leaving one after another, but the restaurant did not close.
After Fatty Kang worshiped the Kitchen God, Xiao Yier blew out the two lanterns at the entrance of the restaurant, and then relit them with fox fire, lighting up the green light.
Gong Mengbi looked a little surprised and said, "Is this a restaurant in the underworld?"
Fatty Kang nodded and said: "We will receive wandering ghosts and ghosts passing by. Occasionally there will be fairies, but not many. However, in the past few days when Yin Chai patrols the streets, we see less ghosts and ghosts."
Gong Mengbi praised: "Brother is kind and gives food to wild ghosts."
Fatty Kang smiled and said, "I open a shop, so I don't give it away for free. They spend money to buy food, so of course I have to sell it."
What can a wild ghost spend? A wisp of yin? Or was it paper money collected by luck? What's the use of Fatty Yu Kang?
But Fatty Kang couldn't bear to be praised, and he became ashamed when he was praised.
Gong Mengbi just smiled and said nothing more about him.
As soon as the will-o'-the-wisp lantern was lit, within a moment, there was a charred ghost standing at the door, smelling of burning, and his face could not be seen clearly.
Fatty Kang's face showed unbearability, and the white-haired rat had already greeted him: "Please come inside."
The charred ghost walked in and stepped on the ground, leaving charred footprints.
He sat on the stool and looked at the menu hanging on the wall, unable to make a decision for a long time.
The white-haired rat said: "You might as well try the lily and lotus seed soup, it can clear away heat and relieve fire."
The charred ghost nodded slowly.
The white-haired rat went to the back kitchen to order food, and Gong Mengbi asked, "Can Xiao Yi'er now feed the ghosts?"
Fatty Kang showed a bit of a smile and said, "Are you surprised? This kid has some talent. Practicing with me doesn't mean he has been buried."
From time to time, more wild ghosts entered the restaurant, and some of them were even in a state of confusion. They followed the white-haired rat's guidance and sat down in a daze, unable to even speak a complete sentence.
A lonely ghost with no one to rely on. And for one reason or another, if you miss the right time for ghosts to seduce your soul, it will drift like this, being eroded by wind, rain, sun and moon, and will gradually dissipate.
The Kitchen God sits on the altar table, with compassionate eyes and a tolerant face. If he receives food from Fatty Kang and Little Yi'er, he can resolve his grievances, turn his evil deeds, and be reborn in the underworld.
Of course, not every wild ghost is willing to die. For example, the blackened resentful ghost, full of pain and hatred, is still looking for his enemy.
At the third watch, ghost officers patrol.
You can hear queues of agents running through the neighborhoods, looking for suspicious people and things.
The two fox-fire lanterns hanging in An Yi Restaurant attract wandering ghosts and ghosts, and naturally they also attract sinister eyes.
An armored warrior entered the restaurant, his eyes like copper bells scanning the scene in the restaurant.
Incense was lingering in front of the statue of the Kitchen God. The warrior shrank his gaze and stopped looking. Instead, he asked where the owner of the white-haired rat shop was.
Fatty Kang heard that they were coming, so he walked down the stairs. His burly body leaned out from the stairs. When he saw the warrior, he asked, "The captain is here to inspect again."
The warrior then asked, "Has the shop owner seen anyone suspicious recently?"
Fatty Kang shook his head and said, "They are all regular customers, not many strangers."
The warrior said: "If you see anyone suspicious, please report it to the government."
Fatty Kang nodded and asked, "What happened to trigger such a big fight?"
The warrior said: "This is official business, so I can't tell you."
Fatty Kang stopped asking.
The shady guy left An Yi Restaurant again without conducting any extensive searches.
An Yi Restaurant has been open in Jinhua for three years. Fatty Kang and the others have already dealt with Yin Chai and are not considered outsiders.
After sending Yin Chai to the door, he saw Gui Chai and Yin soldiers patrolling around the city.
Fatty Kang returned to the store and said: "There is a strict inspection outside, and you have just come here. If you are discovered, you will be questioned for a while. Don't leave today, and leave again at dawn tomorrow."
Gong Mengbi quietly opened the window and took a look. He saw a ghostly spirit, a solemn appearance, and a god with extraordinary bearing. He was sitting in the army and said: "The city god is personally supervising the formation. Something terrible must have happened."
The City God of the county is a fifth-grade person, and those who can sit in this position are by no means ordinary people.
And if someone with his status can personally supervise the investigation, what happened must be no small matter. Gong Mengbi couldn't guarantee that he would not be discovered by him when he took the three people out of the city, so he simply spent the night at An Yi Restaurant and waited until dawn.
It just so happens that I haven't seen Xiangjun for a long time, so I can still visit her after dawn.
But this was not an easy night.
In the middle of the night, a fight broke out in the city, alarming the keen practitioners.
Gong Mengbi and Fatty Kang went up to the roof and looked towards the city. To the south of the city, they saw countless big black-haired rats running on the streets, jumping on the city gates and chewing on them.
Ghost soldiers and Yin soldiers formed a formation to resist the tide of rats.
The City God was furious: "Young men who disturb the discipline of society must be punished!"
