Even if I, Qiansheng, starve to death, I will never eat a bite of your food
Ethan Yuan got up very early. After all, the business was opening today, so he had to make more preparations.
However, unlike other restaurant owners, Ethan Yuan was cautious but not overly enthusiastic. Even when the first wave of customers came in, Ethan Yuan was still leisurely coaxing the little Mu Jin in his arms and teaching it to read.
A handsome young man, a little puppy as fat as a fur ball, and a courtyard that is old but kept exceptionally clean. Even though there are no enthusiastic waiters, people still feel comfortable at the first sight.
"Have some tea and take a rest first."
A simple cup of brown rice tea with a small plate of dried fruits. As the hot tea goes down your throat and the aroma of the dried fruits goes down, the hardship of climbing the mountain disappears in an instant.
This time, a middle-aged couple came and were in a relatively peaceful mood. However, not long after they sat down, they couldn't help looking around, as if they were looking for something. It didn't seem like they came here specifically for dinner.
"Are you two here to see the mountain god?" Wang Qi was smart and could tell what the two were thinking right away.
The woman was a little embarrassed, and the man took over the conversation, "I just came here out of curiosity."
That's what they said on the surface, but in fact, they have never had a child, and they have tried all kinds of methods but to no avail. This time, because they live close to each other, and the repost on TikTok is a bit magical, they decided to try it out.
Thinking of this, the man took over Wang Qi's words and said, "Young boss, your cooking is really good! Can we take a look around before dinner?"
"Sure." Ethan Yuan came out of the kitchen and patted the little Mu Jin who had just followed him out. "This is your territory. Go ahead!"
"Woof~" The chubby black puppy rolled over with its short legs, squatted elegantly in front of the couple, and looked at them curiously with its big black agate eyes.
The soft fur on its body will naturally lift up a tuft on the top of its head when the cool mountain breeze blows, making the whole dog look even more cute.
Both of them are gentle people, and they naturally like the cubs very much.
And little Hibiscus actually ran in front of the two of them as if she wanted to take them around the neighborhood.
Ethan Yuan’s courtyard had just been renovated and was only this big. After walking around it, he arrived at the location of the main hall of the Beast God Temple.
There are no statues inside now, only an ancient plaque still standing there, which makes it seem even more mysterious.
"Is this the mountain god?" Looking at the plaque of the mountain god temple, the couple couldn't help but kneel down together.
The same piety, the same desire and despair.
"Please give us a child."
This is the couple's biggest regret.
They lived a happy life, had a sweet relationship, and both parents were healthy, but they had no children. It was clear that neither of them had any disease.
They were able to hold back at first, but gradually, as they got older, even those around them who had initially claimed to be DINKs had children, but they still didn't.
Just like when the Mu Jin case broke out, they saw the innocent girls in the news and wanted to beat to death those unworthy parents.
They wanted a child so badly that they would do anything to achieve it, but they could actually push their own flesh and blood into the fire pit.
"If it's a boy, I will definitely protect him to grow up healthy and teach him to be a responsible person. If it's a girl, I will do my best to spoil her like a little princess and let her live a happy life."
The woman's murmurs expressed all her expectations for her child. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, beautiful or ugly, smart or mediocre, as long as it was a child that belonged to her, she would pour all her life's gratitude on this miracle.
This is Xiao Mujin's territory. She can tell at a glance whether a person is sincere or not. She can also see at a glance the fate of the person praying to the mountain god.
But she could see through the fate of the couple and knew they were destined not to have children of their own.
What you have is thrown away like a worn-out shoe, while what you desire can never be obtained. This is the greatest trick played by fate on mankind.
But children are different from other things. This involves another soul, and it is not something that can be achieved by simply increasing its luck points.
Little Hibiscus suddenly felt a little sad, but the couple's devout prayers kept echoing in its heart.
After thinking for a while, it suddenly ran to the woman and pressed its forehead against her.
"Woof!"
This sound contains the power of the mountain god and is also a blessing from the Huo Dou.
The woman was confused at first, and then she seemed to hear a young girl's voice suddenly, telling her that she could go to the village after coming down the mountain.
It was not until a long time that the woman slowly came back to her senses. She looked at her husband, who was also stunned. They looked at each other and felt very amazed. It was obvious that they had also heard the voice.
So, the couple discussed and decided, and then relaxed and walked around the yard. But at some point, little Mujin stopped following them.
They didn't pay much attention to it. In their opinion, maybe the puppy leading the way was just a small program arranged by Ethan Yuan after training. After all, it was just a puppy. It was entirely possible that he got tired after playing for a while or his attention was diverted by other things.
But after they left, Ethan Yuan slowly walked over and picked up the slightly listless Xiao Wang.
Ethan Yuan: Is it worth it?
God is not omnipotent. He may show mercy to people and give them a turning point in their destiny, but he himself will have to bear the punishment for his sins.
Just like the little hibiscus now, it has reached the point where even breathing causes severe pain all over its body.
But little Mu Jin leaned into Ethan Yuan's arms.
"worth."
The couple are both good people. After they go back, they will eventually let go of their childlessness and turn their small love into great love to help the orphans in the welfare home.
Unfortunately, good people are not rewarded. A little kindness is turned into resentment. In the end, the orphans they rescued were plotting to inherit their inheritance.
In the end, the old man didn't even close his eyes before he died. So, it wanted to help anyway.
Mu Jin rubbed Ethan Yuan's face.
"I'm used to being hurt, I'm not afraid. Brother Yuan, just hug me more and I'll be fine. But they..." Mu Jin was silent for a while, "I think even if I can't give them a biological child, I don't want them to have a miserable old age. At least they should have a good adopted son or daughter."
"Good people should be rewarded."
Therefore, even though she had endured endless suffering and never even had a smile when she was alive, Xiao Mujin still maintained her gentle and kind heart.
Ethan Yuan bent down and K!ssed its forehead, and Mu Jin immediately felt that the piercing pain was much better. But Ethan Yuan's face turned a little pale.
Sharing. A unique skill of the beastmaster, which allows him to share the pain with the contracted beast.
Hibiscus: Brother Yuan!
Ethan Yuan patted its head and said, "Little Mu Jin has always been a good girl."
This was just a minor incident, and the people at the following tables soon arrived.
However, unlike this couple who came here specifically to have a child, most of the others came here out of curiosity. But after they actually came, they unexpectedly discovered that this place is really suitable for self-driving tours.
Ethan Yuan’s courtyard is indeed not exquisite enough, but it has an exceptionally peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
Even the air seemed much gentler, and the wind blowing past my ears was exceptionally quiet.
There is clearly no breathtaking and breathtaking beauty, but a plate of dried fruits and a pot of homemade hot tea can naturally soothe people from the hustle and bustle of the city.
When Qiansheng and his group arrived, the other tables had either already finished their meals or were playing around nearby to digest their food.
Therefore, we missed the busiest time and the courtyard was a bit too quiet.
The two fat guys at the door looked up and saw that the yellow-haired guy started making a series of chirps when he opened his mouth.
"Ethan Yuan! That B@st@ard is here!"
The white-haired one heard it and immediately became so angry that he stretched out his claws to pull out the hair on his head, "I told you not to lead children astray!"
Perhaps it was because the two fat chickens' eyes were too smart, and disdain was written in their eyes, so Qian Sheng was also stunned, "Are these two chickens scolding us?"
Bah! You are the chicken, your whole family is chickens! The yellow-haired fat bird looked at him with disdain, flapped its wings and went to the kitchen to call for help.
"Chirp chirp" Ethan Yuan, B@st@ard called me a chicken! The yellow-haired fat chirp felt aggrieved.
"Don't give people nicknames casually." Ethan Yuan was also helpless.
There are a lot of people here today, luckily Wang Qi and the person in charge Liu Shen stayed to help, otherwise Ethan Yuan would be too busy to handle it.
Seeing Qiansheng and the others arriving, Liu Shen hurried out to greet them.
Qian Sheng was also a bit embarrassed, and said directly: "It doesn't matter whether there is food or not, I just want to see how magical the mountain god is."
"Don't say that. Our young boss's cooking skills are truly amazing."
Qiansheng couldn't help laughing, "Uncle, we drove from the provincial capital for half a day to get here. Do you think we haven't eaten anything?"
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that they were looking for trouble. The originally depressed little Hibiscus suddenly raised its head and bared its teeth, while the fat yellow-haired bird narrowed its black eyes dangerously.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Wang Qi inside saw that something was not right and ran out to smooth things over. But Qian Sheng was reckless and insisted on seeing the mountain god.
"I'm telling you clearly that I'm not here to eat. What good food can there be in this poor and remote place? How can eggs be made to look like gods?"
As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of delicious food came from the kitchen, and Ethan Yuan happened to come out with a plate of food in his hand.
The most common fried eggs with chili peppers. The chili peppers are emerald green, the eggs are orange-yellow, and the spicy taste of the chili peppers is mixed with the fragrance of onions and garlic. Just looking at it from a distance, you can imagine the salty, fragrant and spicy taste after eating it. It is a great appetizer. You can eat a large bowl of rice with this dish.
I don’t know if it’s because he eats too much delicacies from land and sea, but when he saw this home-cooked meal, Qiansheng couldn’t control the secretion of saliva in his mouth and was a little confused.
After putting down the dishes, Ethan Yuan turned around and went back into the kitchen. This time, he brought out a plate of three-color egg custard.
The bottom layer is white egg white, the middle layer is chopped preserved eggs, and the top layer is bright yellow egg yolk.
The three colors are distinct and bright. As Ethan Yuan walks, the three-color egg custard also trembles with his steps. One can imagine how tender and smooth it is when you put it in your mouth.
"Shengzi, why do I think it tastes a bit good? How about we have a meal first?" The journey was quite bumpy and they had climbed the mountain for such a long time, so why not eat now? Some of the people who followed Qiansheng couldn't help themselves and sat at the table to taste it first.
He went straight to the plate of chili fried eggs with his chopsticks, and took a bite. First, it was spicy! Then, the freshness burst on the tip of his tongue.
"Fcuk! I'm so hungry, boss. Give me a bowl of rice!" He said this and couldn't help but pick up another piece of rice with his chopsticks.
The others saw this and were a little hesitant. Ethan Yuan's third dish was also served at the right time.
Vinegar and wood beard.
Like the previous dish of chili fried eggs, the vinegar-fried wood shu is also a dish that goes well with rice. The acidity of the vinegar neutralizes the fatness of the pork belly, turning the greasiness into a mellow flavor. The animal fat in the pork belly, after being soaked in vinegar, adds an extra freshness and fragrance to the main dish of eggs. It actually feels like eating crabs.
"Ah! I like this!" They were all young men in their early twenties, and they were eating the most. As soon as the plates came down, everyone finished the food with just one chopstick.
Next, fried tiger skin eggs wrapped in meat fillings, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant fried whitebait with eggs, sweet and sour fried tomato with eggs, and tender and smooth Mushu pork. Finally, a bowl of refreshing milk and egg Liaozao was served, and the table was complete.
Although at first glance they are all home-cooked dishes, they are actually very good dishes. These young masters usually eat too much exquisite food, and this simplest cooking method gives their taste buds, which have tasted a lot of delicious food, a different feeling.
The group of people were eating without even looking up, and they kept asking for more rice. Turning around, I found Qiansheng still standing there stubbornly, and I couldn't help but persuade him, "You really don't want to eat? Don't regret it if you don't eat."
"No, I don't want to eat!" Qiansheng didn't know what he was insisting on. He didn't even get to the table until the very end. He watched his bunch of friends finish the whole table of food and then lie there with their hands on their stomachs.
Seeing that all the empty plates had been cleared away, a group of people were still savoring their food. Qian Sheng turned around and left the front yard in anger, intending to go somewhere else and never hang out with a group of tasteless people.
But he had been hungry for most of the day, and after watching others eat for a long time, his stomach couldn't help but growl.
Coincidentally, when he left, he happened to walk outside the kitchen, where Ethan Yuan was coaxing the little Mu Jin in his arms to eat.
The homemade beef chili sauce with red oil was mixed on the egg fried rice, and little Mujin's round eyes narrowed as she ate.
... Qiansheng's stomach growled, and his neck turned red.
"Want a bowl?" Ethan Yuan pointed to the pot, which still had some left.
Qiansheng was even more speechless. He felt like a big fool for insisting on not eating but now he had to eat dog food.
But the hunger in his stomach still made him stretch out his hand, "I eat qaq"
