Journey to the West: Reverse Buddha

Chapter 409 The Wayward Cook
A round of sun hung high in the sky, and the soft sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell on the street east of Wan Yao Kingdom City. It was warm and very comfortable.

"Brother Jisheng, where are we going to find a companion?" Although Xuan'er was holding Jisheng's arm and holding a pacifier in her mouth, her heart was eager to move, and her pair of beautiful and curious eyes were always around. Sweeping around the dazzling array of stalls, she, who has never seen the prosperity of the outside world, couldn't stop at this moment. If it wasn't for Ji Sheng, she wouldn't know where she would have gone crazy.

"We'll just go for a stroll."

Jisheng looked at Xuan'er who was full of curiosity about everything beside him, and naturally knew what she was thinking, and he had already made a decision in his heart. In fact, he had no idea about finding a companion. God, take Xuan'er to have a good look at this colorful world outside!

"Huh? Brother, what is this? It's round and long." Xuan'er suddenly pointed to a candied haws in a child's hand.

"Oh, those are candied haws. My brother will buy one for you." Jisheng said and picked out a bunch of candied haws for Xuan'er from a peddler.

"Mmm! It's delicious!" Xuan'er moved the pacifier up and down, and one of the candied haws was lost out of thin air, and then she puffed up her cheeks and ate it with relish.

Jisheng took Xuan'er around for more than half an hour, and he almost looked at all the stalls on the roadside.

"Come on, Xuan'er, I'll put it on for you!" Ji Sheng chose a purple hairpin for Xuan'er to wear on her waterfall-like black hair in front of a jewelry booth.

"Does it look good?" Xuan'er turned around in a circle, looked at Ji Sheng and asked.

"Very beautiful." Ji Sheng praised without hesitation, Xuan'er is very beautiful like a fairy who has just come out of the world.

"Hee hee." Xuan'er smiled like a flower, she was very happy to hear Ji Sheng's compliment, and today was the happiest day in her life.

Gulu, Gulu.
There was a strange noise, and Ji Sheng grinned and looked at Xuan'er and joked, "What's wrong? Xuan'er must be hungry, even her stomach is protesting."

"Yeah." Xuan'er blushed slightly and lowered her head slightly.

"It happens that there is a restaurant here, let's go there to eat, but the name is weird, I don't know what I came up with." Jisheng glanced around and found a restaurant called "Big My Bird" right in front of him. He said, but since Xuan'er was hungry, it happened to take her there for a meal.

"My dear, why are there so many people?" Ji Sheng brought Xuan'er into the restaurant, and found that there was a lot of people, and there was a long queue in front of the counter.

"Hello, guest officer, how many people are there?" Soon a waiter came forward to greet Jisheng and Xuan'er enthusiastically.

"Two." Ji Sheng looked around and saw that there was not even a place to stay, and frowned and replied.

"That's really a coincidence, these two seats are all taken up." Xiao Er said with a bit of apology on his face.

"Then is there a box upstairs?" Ji Sheng asked unwillingly.

"The box for the two of them is gone." Xiao Er shook his head and said.

"Then there are more than two people." Ji Sheng said, there is nowhere to sit while eating.

"No, the two guest officers can only sit in the seats for two people, otherwise there will be more empty seats, so that other people will have no seats." Xiaoer shook his head firmly.

"Just accommodate me a bit." Ji Sheng thought he was trying to make things difficult, so he stuffed a middle-grade spar into his hand.

"No." Unexpectedly, Xiao Er hurriedly put the middle-grade spar in Ji Sheng's hand back into Ji Sheng's hand, and said with some fear in his eyes: "Guest officer, we have a rule here that we cannot accept tips from customers, and customers come to consume. You have to follow the rules, no one can break the rules, even if the royal people come, it's useless, you still have to line up to eat."

"Oh, this rule is interesting." Ji Sheng smiled lightly, and secretly said: There are not many people in this world who can do it without fear of power.

I can't help but feel a little curious about the owner of this store.

"Okay, then I'll wait here." Ji Sheng immediately decided to follow the rules and told Xiao Er.

"Okay." Xiao Er let out a long breath when he saw that Ji Sheng was no longer embarrassed, and handed him a brown wooden sign with a smile, on which the words "one hundred and one" were written in black ink.

"This is." Jisheng looked at the wooden sign suspiciously.

"This is the moment of queuing. Guest officer, you wrote [-] on it, that is the number [-]. If there is a seat in front of the counter, you will call your number. When you are called, you can sit down and eat." Xiao Er patiently explained to Ji Sheng.

"I'll go, isn't there still 100 people in front of me?" Ji Sheng twitched the corners of his eyes a few times and said.

"Probably not, first listen to the number reported now." Xiao Er shook her head and listened to the call in front of the counter.

"NO.11!"

"It's me!" A man excitedly ran forward with a wooden sign. The person in front of the counter took the wooden sign and looked at it, and asked a waiter to welcome him in.

"Look, there are less than 100 people." Xiaoer said with a standard hospitality smile all the time.

"What's the difference between 90 people and 100 people?" Ji Sheng gritted his teeth with a black line on his forehead, but at this moment, seeing that the situation was not good, the little girl had already disappeared in a hurry.

"Brother, I'm hungry." Xuan'er next to her didn't care about queuing or not, her stomach was rumbling, she couldn't help pouting her pacifier aggrievedly, and looked at Ji Shengdao with big watery eyes.

"Xuan'er is good, my brother will take you to eat something delicious right away." Ji Sheng stepped forward and gently pinched Xuan'er's tender face and said.

However, this is easy to say, but this NO.90 person can't just say that he is gone.

When Jisheng was worrying, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall and thin man holding a wooden sign anxiously looking forward to it. It said NO.12. Isn't this the next number that can be entered? !

Immediately a flash of inspiration came to Jisheng's mind, as long as I get this wooden sign, won't Xuan'er be able to eat?If you can't bribe the members of the store, why don't I bribe the customers?Thinking of this, Ji Sheng took out a high-grade spar and came to the tall and thin man holding the wooden sign.

"Brother, can you take a step to speak?" Ji Sheng stepped forward and asked with a cupped fist.

"If you have anything to say, just say it here, I'm still waiting for dinner! If you accidentally miss the number, I'll tell you forever!" The tall and thin man didn't even look at Jisheng, and waited for the call from the counter.

"Brother, I actually want to buy this wooden sign in your hand." Ji Sheng said as he placed the high-grade spar in his hand in front of him.

"Get out! If you want my wooden sign, you won't change it even if you make me the emperor. But today's top twelve can eat our restaurant's special dishes? If you can taste a bite, this life will be worthwhile. I It took a lot of effort to steal this wooden sign, how can I give it to you?" The tall and thin man said to Ji Sheng angrily, and at the same time he slipped his mouth in a moment of excitement.

"So it was stolen." Ji Sheng laughed, and casually used a body-fixing technique to hold him still, took the wooden token from his hand, and at the same time put his own wooden token into his hand, and swaggered left.

"NO.12!" The counter suddenly announced the number at this time.

"Here it is!" Jisheng smiled slightly, and excitedly led Xuan'er over with the wooden sign.

An expressionless man in front of the counter took the wooden sign in Jisheng's hand, looked at it and nodded, and immediately a waiter came up beside him to lead Jisheng and Xuan'er to the designated location.

"Guest officer, you are really lucky. This special dish has a total of [-] points, and this is the last portion left, which happens to be yours." The little errand said to Ji Sheng as he walked away.

"What kind of dish is this? Is it rare?" Ji Sheng asked.

"Of course, the special dishes of our Big My Bird Restaurant are absolutely unique in the world. Just by taking a sip, you will be absolutely sure that what you ate before is shit, and it is only sold on one day in a month. Twelve copies, one is no more and one is less, even if the dignitaries come, they have to wait in line at the door, it depends on luck!" Xiaoer said proudly.

"En." Jisheng nodded, feeling great interest in this highly anticipated special dish.

Fortunately, Jisheng and Xuan'er happened to be waiting for a private room for two, which was very quiet and free from the noise of the hall. Ji Sheng was satisfied with this, and after ordering dishes with Xuan'er, they just sat and waited for the dishes to be served.

Plates of delicious dishes were served soon, and Xuan'er's stomach was already flattened by hunger. When she saw the food, she immediately started to eat it, regardless of her image, for fear that someone would snatch it from her, but outsiders couldn't tell, because Xuan'er ate and drank water, always with a pacifier in her mouth, but the frequency of shaking was very fast at the moment, and her cheeks on both sides were swollen like two small balloons.

"Eat slowly, no one will fight with you." Jisheng looked at Xuan'er and said with a concerned smile.

"En." Xuan'er replied, but the frequency in her mouth didn't slow down much.

"Xiao Er!" Ji Sheng yelled as if he noticed something was wrong.

"Guest officer, is there anything else you need?" The little girl immediately came to Jisheng's box with a smile on her face and asked.

"What about the special dishes that were agreed upon? Why haven't they been served yet?" Ji Sheng asked with a warm and angry expression.

"This." Xiaoer smiled apologetically, and said with some hesitation on his face, "This guest officer, please wait for a while, and he will come right away."

After a long time, there was no trace of this special dish. Ji Sheng frowned and muttered, "How does this restaurant handle things? The efficiency is too low."

Let Xuan'er eat obediently in the private room, then she got up and went out of the private room to find Xiaoer and asked, "Aren't you playing with me?"

"Don't dare, dare not, the cook said he was tired and needed to take a rest." Xiao Er explained with a smile on his face.

"I'm not tired in the morning and I'm not tired in the evening, but I'm tired at this time. I'll bring your shopkeeper here." Ji Sheng said with majesty, intentionally or unintentionally.

"That." After hearing Ji Sheng's words, Xiao Er's expression changed and he was very embarrassed: "That cook belongs to our shopkeeper."
