The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 27 Arriving at Chentang Pass

After a short rest, Qi Yuan didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly left this place with Qi Yi.

Otherwise, after waiting for a long time, such a strong smell of blood may not necessarily attract many carnivorous beasts, it is better to leave as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the bright moonlight in the sky, they traveled all the way quickly, and finally encountered no accidents, allowing them to leave Skull Mountain smoothly and find the road outside the mountain.

Until then, Qi Yuan let out a long breath.

Too many things happened today, which kept him busy running for his life. Now that he relaxes, he feels deeply tired.

At the same time, it also made him truly realize the cruelty of this world.

After all, he lived in a peaceful society since he was a child. Although he knew that the world was full of crises, he spent most of his time in Chaoge City and hadn't experienced many dangers, let alone met such vicious people as Ma Yuan.

When he first came out of Chaoge, he thought that this trip was just going from one city to another, plus there were twenty martial arts guards sent to him by Huang Feihu, so not only did he think that this trip would be a pleasant one. It is a journey, and it is also an opportunity for him to reap benefits.

As a result, the experience at Skull Mountain was like a scoop of cold water poured down on his head and face, allowing him to see the cruelty of this world with his own eyes.

This is not an era of peace!

There are many dangers on the prehistoric land, not only demons and ghosts exist, but also some vicious people such as Ma Yuan who cannibalize people's hearts.

Even in the city, there are monsters that take human form and hide in the dark. Every year, many people are swallowed by such monsters, let alone running around like him, how could he not encounter danger? ?

The death of Zhao Wu and others completely awakened him, and he could no longer use the standards of later generations to measure everything in this world.

There is only one life, and you must be more cautious when you act in the future.

What I did now, I can't guarantee whether I can get the god position.

Even today's Jiang Ziya hasn't started building the Fengshentai yet.

Based on Qi Yuan's current rudimentary skills, once he dies, he must be attracted by the underworld to reincarnate his soul back.

He is not like others, each of them has a high level of cultivation, even if his body is killed, his soul is still immortal.

As for him, not to mention the primordial spirit, he doesn't even have the skills to cultivate the primordial spirit!

If he dies before the construction of the Conferred God Platform is completed, without the traction of the Conferred God Platform, his soul is too weak to survive in the mortal world for a long time, and ninety-nine out of ten will be reincarnated under the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth, then his All the planning is nothing but fetching water from a bamboo basket.

So, it's better to be careful.

Qi Yuan looked at Qi Yi and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go back to the city early and have a good rest!"

Naturally, Qi Yi would not object to Qi Yuan's words, he nodded obediently, and followed him.

…………

After resting for three days in a row, Qi Yuan finally recovered.

When he was running before, he was a little exhausted. After returning to the city and taking a nap, he woke up and found that his whole body was sore, so he had to rest for a few days before going on the road.

This time, he was much more honest. He found a caravan headed for Chentangguan, followed them and detoured southward. The road was safe and sound.

After more than ten days, they finally reached the boundary of Chentang Pass.

Looking at the tall city wall of Chentangguan from a distance, Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chentangguan is adjacent to the East China Sea, with plenty of rain and a pleasant climate. In addition, the land is relatively fertile. The people close to the sea can also fish in the offshore. Although it is a bit dangerous, they can live a decent life.

This city occupies a large area. After all, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed there. It is too small to accommodate so many people.

After entering the city, Qi Yuan bid farewell to the caravan.

Naturally, he had his own plans for coming here, and it would be inconvenient to mix with the caravan.

He didn't dare to go to Skull Mountain at the moment. If he still wanted to meet Empress Shiji, he had to find a way from Li Jing and his son.

Qi Yuan has already inquired clearly that only the third son Li Nezha is in the mansion beside Li Jing, the commander-in-chief.

It seems that the good show of this kid making a big fuss in the Dragon Palace has not yet begun, so I still have time to arrange it.

Take Qi Yi to the post house first.

It's impossible not to go, Qi Yuan is penniless now.

All the belongings that were originally placed in the carriage have been thrown under the Skull Mountain, and even the only jade pendant on his body was used as travel expenses when he took the caravan.

So he went to the posthouse, and after revealing his identity, the postmaster didn't dare to neglect, and quickly arranged a room for them to stay in.

Although Qi Yuan is not an official, his reputation has been spread throughout the official offices of the city that the Shang Dynasty can still control through the official documents.

This is also the request he made to King Zhou after he refused the official position rewarded by King Zhou. In name, it was to facilitate him to teach cooking skills in other places, but in fact it was just to make his own name famous.

However, except for Chaoge City, his reputation is relatively famous, in other cities, it is currently only spread among the upper-level officials.

After all, there are too few ways to transmit news in this era, and ordinary people basically rely on word of mouth, which is too slow, so most of the people have not heard of his name.

How can I get in touch with Li Jing?

Qi Yuan rubbed his forehead in distress.

If you go to visit Li Jing's mansion directly, I'm afraid they won't pay too much attention to him.

When Jiang Ziya went to Xiqi, he didn't go directly to Ji Chang to ask for an official. Instead, he used some tricks to get him, leaving a good story about Jiang Taigong fishing and willing people to take the bait.

Although he can't learn Jiang Ziya's straight hook fishing, he can continue to teach cooking skills in Chentangguan to build his reputation.

After the reputation spread, Li Jing would naturally come to him.

Qi Yuan pondered for a moment, then decided to pay attention.

Anyway, it's still early, I remember that Nezha only provoked the East China Sea Dragon Palace when he went to play in the river outside the city because of the hot summer.

In ancient times, it was easy for people to spread their fame, but the only difficulty was that the message was too slow.

However, as long as you have real skills, there will be people who are willing to brag about you. Even if you don’t have real skills, as long as no one can see through your tricks, you can still be famous far and wide.

For a person like Qi Yuan who is ahead of this era in culinary skills, it is not too difficult to spread his reputation to a mere Chentangguan, not to mention that he already has the reputation of a sage.

He first taught the cooks in the post house a few cooking skills, and after getting the unanimous approval of the post house, his reputation spread in a small area first.

Then, after some clever postmen knew that he was willing to teach people cooking skills for free, they immediately notified their family members to come and learn from Qi Yuan.

These people who learn from Qi Yuan are also very good at seizing the opportunity. Whether they run the winery restaurant by themselves or are employed by a wealthy family, they can make a lot of money. After receiving such great benefits, they are of course willing to give Qi Yuan Yuan preaches his fame.

In this way, an upsurge of apprenticeship and cooking skills inevitably started in Chentangguan. Gradually, the food in all the winery restaurants in this city has been greatly improved, not to mention many hired chefs. A big family who started as a cook.

The mansion of Chief Military Officer Li Jing recently added a lot of new tricks to the food, and the food was far more delicious than before. This made Li Jing, who was busy with military training recently, a little surprised. Those who came to Chentangguan.
