Weird Calendar

The decoration style of the living room is very simple, mainly in cool colors.

There are no materials like marble, and most of the walls are just painted with a layer of paint.

The sofa is not one that costs tens of thousands or even more, and the coffee table is made of glass instead of wood.

Qin Ze didn't expect that the chef's home would be so ordinary.

After all, whether it is Qiao Wei, Jian Yiyi, Lan Yu, or even Luo Shulin'an, they are all considered wealthy.

It is not difficult for people of the old calendar to make money.

Even a girl like Xiaoshi can make a lot of money if she is determined to make money using her abilities as a street girl.

Therefore, Qin Ze's house in Yu Ji's house felt a bit too ordinary.

"Teacher Yu, with your cooking skills, there should be a lot of top restaurants competing for you, right?" Qin Ze asked.

Yu Ji was in good shape. He was wearing a chef's uniform and served the last dish for his friends.

As the second oldest person in the entire Linxiang City team, Yu Ji immediately recognized the voice of Qin Ze's words:

“I don’t like extravagance and waste, and neither do my wife and children, who don’t like to spend money on external things.”

"We are most willing to spend money on what we can put into our stomachs. The food is fresh, and there is no upper limit here."

"Money is basically spent on buying food ingredients, which is another kind of materialistic desire."

"Come on, have a taste."

Yu Ji's food presentation was not too particular, because entertaining the old calendar believers in the group required some weight.

He doesn't like French cuisine.

Qin Ze ate the most ordinary home-cooked food, and after one bite, he felt full of happiness.

Chicken, duck, fish, sheep, and seasonal vegetables, the ingredients look ordinary, but everything is rare birds and delicacies.

After being cooked by Yu Ji, the food is delicious and delicious.

Qin Ze is a rough guy.

Qin Ze was once invited by Qiao Wei to eat in some restaurants with four-digit per capita prices, but he really couldn't eat it.

There is a big gap between delicious and delicious, but for most people, this gap is difficult to detect.

Just like Qin Ze can't tell the difference between Wagyu beef and ordinary beef.

At least it seemed to him that it was the same when it was familiar.

But he could indeed feel that every dish of Yu Ji's dishes had the feeling of happiness gushing out in his mouth.

This dish cannot shine, but it makes Qin Ze and Huo Qiao feel extremely happy.

"Hahahaha, old man, I felt yesterday that I was going to have good luck recently, but I didn't expect that it would come true so soon."

In fact, every dish on the dinner plate is worth savoring.

But Qin Ze and Huo Qiao both ate big.

Yu Ji also doesn't feel like a wild boar can't eat fine chaff.

He felt that this was how food should be.

"As long as it tastes delicious, as long as you two like it."

"I like it so much. I always asked you for recipes and made them myself, but when I made them, I was always disappointed. Today I have to learn from you." Qin Ze said.

Yu Ji also had this intention.

Huo Qiao said:

"Xiao Qin, are you interested in studying numerology?"

"You can keep an eye on Yu Ji while you cook in the evening, but in the afternoon, you might as well study metaphysics with me, the old man?"

When Qin Ze heard this, he realized that there was such a good thing. Isn't this a double happiness?

Although Huo Qiao can tell fortunes for people who violate taboos, if he can do this himself, it will allow Huo Qiao to concentrate more on calculating more accurate predictions to serve others.

After all, Huo Qiao's energy is limited.

Moreover, Huo Qiao and Yu Ji can only improve their functions by accumulating skill proficiency.

But I am different. I am a taboo player.

Regardless of Yu Ji's cooking skills or Huo Qiao's metaphysics, I can surpass these two.

Today was really surprisingly smooth.

I just don’t know if the abilities of temporary workers can be effective under the hands-on guidance of two teachers.

There is no talking when eating or sleeping, it depends on the occasion.

When friends get together for dinner, of course they have to talk.

Although they are of the same generation in terms of rank, Yu Ji and Huo Qiao are both elders in terms of age.

Qin Ze, as a junior, asked about their stories.

"Teacher Yu, how did you come up with the idea of ​​becoming a cook? Speaking of which, what was the taboo on the day when the old calendar appeared?"

These topics may seem offensive to outsiders, but members of the Linxiang City group are not taboo at all.

Yu Ji smiled and said:

"What else could it be? Just cooking. I happened to be participating in a food show called Chef King PK that day. Distortion of levels is taboo."

When Qin Ze heard that it was twisted, he became interested.

"The food I cook is all mutated. When it is on the dinner plate, it will tempt people to eat it, but it will also have a strong hallucinogenic effect."

"It's so touching...the calendar just showed up at my house and I never knew it."

"After that incident, my reputation was ruined."

"Although the organization later sent people to treat those affected by the distorted ingredients, many people still thought that I had tampered with the food. At that time, the authorities had not dealt with it completely. There were many jokes on the Internet. My nine-turn large intestine, Gourmet After eating it, he looked crazy, as if he was possessed by Cthulhu."

"Netizens say that this is a food show on the surface, but it is actually a show."

"The obstruction of the evil god's large intestine appeared, but fortunately it subsided later."

Qin Ze thought of another scheming chef related to the Nine-turn Large Intestine.

Although it is conceivable that Yu Ji's reputation was completely ruined and his career suffered a huge blow.

But Qin Ze still felt a little happy.

Of course, Yu Ji himself was completely relieved.

When talking about these past events, Yu Ji only had a smile on his face, as if he was watching an absurd comedy:

"I just love cooking. Mainly because I think those idiots don't understand food well enough and make too many unpalatable dishes."

"So I started to do it myself, and before I knew it, I became what they call a competitor for the King of Chefs."

At least when it comes to cooking, Yu Ji's talent is probably very rare.

Qin Ze discovered that there were quite a few geniuses in the group.

Yu Ji continued:

"After the appearance of the old calendar, I actually didn't notice it. If it weren't for the fact that so many people on the show had hallucinations, some people even had their bodies twisted after eating my food, crawling around on the ceiling like a dark creeping evil ghost in a ghost movie. go……"

"I probably won't even be noticed by the authorities."

"Of course, it was because of the official attention that I learned about the Old Calendar One."

“When they discovered me, my career as a chef was sealed.”

"It is said that there are many professions for Old Calendar people, including 360 professions, but chefs are rare, so I became the organization's chef."

Huo Qiao joked:

"Even so, you are just like me, old man, and you basically don't participate in the company's affairs."

"It's bad, as I get older, I just want to stay in my own one-third of an acre of land." Yu Ji responded.

Qin Ze said:

"But you two are helpful to everyone, how can you not be involved in the company's affairs?"

It was Yu Ji who answered the question:

"Qin Ze, we are different from you. Lin An will go to the front line to save people. Luo Shu is like this sometimes. Although the little girl always stays in the company, she will also sign a contract and participate in the battle in a special way. .”

"As for you, Duke Xiaocheng, Lan Yu and the team leader, you are combatants and will be exposed to all kinds of weird problems and events."

Yu Ji took a piece of chicken:

"But Lao Huo Qiao and I are not. We both just want to immerse ourselves in our own world."

"Our abilities can bring benefits to the world, and we are willing to contribute part of our abilities without interfering with our current lives."

"There's nothing wrong with cooking something delicious for the team leader to double his energy. I just did it."

"But I don't want to go deeper into the weird world."

Old Huo Qiao raised his cup. There was only tea in the cup. None of the three of them drank, but he said cheerfully:

"Cheers to that idea."

Yu Ji and Lao Huoqiao's cups clinked. Yu Ji said:

"We are not combatants. This is just one aspect. In fact, many professions have combat capabilities when they reach the ghost and god level."

"Even if you are a cook like me, if you reach the level of a ghost or a god, or if you are promoted to a gourmet... I will be very threatening. The same goes for Huo Qiao, and a fortune teller can also be promoted to an onmyoji. That is an incredible profession."

Qin Ze understood:

"But neither of you want to break away from the life in front of you."

Huo Qiao nodded:

"Yes, as for me, I know that I am old. I believe in fate. I have passed that age."

"As for Xiao Yu, he just wants to live a life where his wife and children are on the hot bed."

"There's nothing wrong with being ordinary, right?"

Qin Ze also nodded, that's right.

"It's like if your monthly income goes from 3,000 to 8,000. If you don't change your previous consumption habits, you will feel rich. But if you change your consumption habits and increase your spending, you will I found... life is still so tight. And I no longer have the joy of buying cheap, practical and good things."

This was said by Yu Ji.

Yu Ji's idea is that ability is like extra salary or income.

Having superpowers is great, but if you have to deal with people with superpowers, life will still be full of stress.

But if you have superpowers but still live in the circle of ordinary people, it would be quite leisurely.

"We are cowards who don't want to make progress, hahahaha..."

Huo Qiao raised his glass again as he spoke, and Yu Ji also clinked his glasses happily.

Qin Ze actually envied this attitude.

Although they are said to be cowards, these two people also contribute their own strength.

Not every Old Calendar person has to try their best to improve themselves.

Not everyone faces evil and urgently needs to face the difficulties and give everything he has.

It is not bad to live a leisurely life, not to do evil, occasionally to do small acts of kindness, to enjoy the convenience brought by ability, and not to squeeze the living space of ordinary people.

"How strong does it take to be considered strong? How rich does it take to be considered rich? There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world." Old Huo Qiao sighed.

Yu Ji nodded:

"Yes, but Qin Ze, we are old-fashioned people. We just want to lie down and live comfortably, but don't imitate us."

Qin Ze smiled and said:

"why?"

Yu Ji said:

"Because you are not such a person. If you are a lazy person like us, you can also be an idle cloud and a crane. In the future, Lao Huo Qiao and I can change the two-person chess game to a three-person card game."

"Hahahahaha, then it's good to be in love and play cards." Huo Qiao also laughed.

However, Yu Ji added:

"But you are not that kind of person. You have an adventurous spirit. I can see that you are a thrill-seeker."

"Then don't go against your nature and try to improve yourself as much as possible. But if you get tired one day, you can ask me and Old Huo Qiao to recharge your batteries."

"The team leader also comes to our place often. Every time he leaves, he feels physically and mentally relaxed."

Qin Ze understood what Yu Ji meant.

He is indeed a person who seeks excitement and mystery. Otherwise, he would not have met Qiao Wei.

In this world, there are people who are optimistic about their fate, there are also people who chase phantoms, and there are also people who defy nature and change their fate.

Qin Ze enjoyed this meal very happily.

Because Yuji’s food can indeed arouse people’s inner happiness.

And Lao Huoqiao is used to the fickleness of fate, and is also very good at comforting people.

As these two carefree people gathered together, time seemed to slow down.

Qin Ze had a rare feeling of peace and tranquility.

He could understand why the team leader felt happy every time he left here.

Indeed, after struggling for a while in the old calendar world, or the real world, finding two people like this to eat and chat will wash away some of the burdens on you.

Qin Ze spent the entire afternoon chatting with Huo Qiao, learning fortune-telling techniques while chatting.

Huo Qiao gave Qin Ze a hexagram disk he made himself and asked Qin Ze to go back and study it carefully.

In the evening, Yu Ji asked Qin Ze to watch how he cooked.

And told Qin Ze some things about the profession of chef in the old calendar.

Both of them were teaching Qin Ze intentionally.

This made Qin Ze wonder whether his identity as a temporary worker had been revealed to the two of them by the team leader.

Qin Ze has a feeling that tonight, April 30th, the old calendar will revive, and he may master two auxiliary skills.

…

…

The night of April 29th.

Qin Ze returned to his home. He indeed felt physically and mentally happy, and his fatigue was gone.

Yu Ji and Lao Huo Qiao made Qin Ze temporarily forget his recent experiences.

It seems that I have found the beauty of ordinary life.

But Qin Ze understood that all this was mainly based on Yu Ji's food.

Qin Ze is very eager to have that kind of food that can arouse people's emotions.

After Qin Ze returned to his home, he was waiting for the revival of the old calendar and the arrival of a new round of Yiji.

A leisurely and comfortable life makes people happy, but what he prefers is an unknown and challenging life.

It's only 11:50.

Qin Ze is "sick".

He felt intensely sleepy. Along with the sleepiness, there was also a weird feeling.

This feeling is not unfamiliar to Qin Ze. He experienced it twice.

Lin An also said at the beginning that this was a disease.

Qin Ze has not cured this disease.

As Qin Ze fell asleep, the familiar voice in his mind came.

"Everyone's life is like a movie..."

Prell's opening remarks appeared in Qin Ze's mind again.

As Qin Ze fell asleep, his dreams gradually became clearer.

In the classic dark cabin, he overlapped with Prell again.

For the third time, Qin Ze will watch Prell once again ravage some poor or hateful guy from the first-person perspective of the dream.

But this time, Qin Ze was not actually "ill" in the true sense.

Everything is not a coincidence, but stems from an article written by Zhao Jingwen after returning to his residence this afternoon.

According to Jian Yiyi's request, Zhao Jingwen wrote the most critical sentence:

"After Qin Ze's adventure in the Kingdom of Competition ends and he successfully returns to the real world, the hidden dangers related to Qin Ze in reality will gradually emerge. They, or they, are gradually heading to Linxiang City."

This is a passage in the article. When Jian Yi dictated this passage, Zhao Jingwen didn't quite understand it.

Thinking about it, isn't this about wanting Qin Ze to die?

But then, he understood what Jian Yiyi was going to do.
