Chapter 1 In Neon
In Tokyo, Japan, there is a long queue of people queuing in front of a store in a shopping street in Koto District.
The end of the line of people stretched all the way to the end of the street, with no end in sight.
There is no signboard hanging on the shop. Under the cover of the horizontal sliding door, the situation inside the shop cannot be seen. It is impossible to tell at a glance what kind of shop it is and what kind of business it is doing.
The customers at the front of the queue stood in a uniform posture, with their upper bodies leaning forward as much as possible, their heads straightened, and breathing hard the smell wafting from the store.
They made an expression of intoxication and hunger. Some people even kept wiping the saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths while saying "Smells!" "It smells so good!"
The customer at the head of the queue stared at the sliding door eagerly. When the door was opened from the inside, customers with satisfied and intoxicated expressions walked out, and they immediately rushed into the store to grab a seat.
If a red light is placed in front of the door at night, it will definitely be mistaken for that kind of custom shop, which will attract many members of the Women's Lost Foot Assistance Association to patronize.
But this is just an ordinary roadside restaurant. There are only a few small square tables filled with customers, a long table under an isolated counter set up around the open kitchen, and tables without backrests standing in front of the long table.
There are small round stools and a modern kitchen that combines Chinese and Western styles.
It has no characteristics and is no different from a popular Japanese set meal restaurant.
The only abnormal thing is that there are ten large Chinese-style iron pots placed in this small and cramped kitchen at the same time, burning red and steaming over the fire.
There was only one strong young man busy in the kitchen, and no other figures were seen. Could it be that this young man was controlling these ten hot iron pots at the same time? It would take a lot of skill and mental reflexes to multitask.
arrive?
"Master Ban! Let's order today's signature set meal!"
"Hey! Okay, wait a moment"
The customer who had just sat down skillfully ordered towards the kitchen, but the young man in the kitchen just responded and continued busy, with no intention of coming out to greet the customers.
Even the used plates on the table are put away and stacked by the customers themselves, and there is not even a clerk to clean them up. This kind of service method, if you change to other restaurants, you can imagine that it will take less than a few weeks.
It will become desolate and bankruptcy is imminent.
But judging from the crowds outside this store, the result is exactly the opposite. There are only a few reasons that can cause this to happen.
Either this store is a charity, opening the store to encourage neighbors and entertaining diners for free.
Either this store owner knows magic and controls people.
Or the food in this restaurant is very delicious, even in such a poor service environment, why so many people have the patience to come here and queue up to enjoy the food, and isn't the answer very obvious?
As usual, Lin Daoge had no intention of entertaining these foreign diners cordially. He just stood in front of the stove with a blank expression, stir-frying the ten large red iron pots in front of him, turning around from time to time on the chopping board, and slicing as fast as acrobats.
Vegetables, vegetables and meats, under his invisible and fast knife skills, turned into individual ingredients or pieces of uniform length and thickness flying in the air in the blink of an eye, and flew one by one to their respective plates.
, leaving the customers sitting around the long table in the kitchen dumbfounded, marveling at this miraculous knife skill.
It's a pity that he didn't have a glass of Dry martine beside him, otherwise he would be the most handsome guy in the culinary world.
Although there is no Dry martine, his kitchen cabinet does contain a variety of alcoholic products used for cooking.
Although the customers sitting in front of the long table could appreciate his superb cooking demonstration, the heat generated by the ten stoves that blew out large fires at the same time also made them sweat, which showed how high the temperature in the kitchen was.
And Lin Daoge, who can control these ten high-temperature cauldrons at the same time without being affected at all, his fire skills are probably even better than his sword skills.
His name is Lin Daoge, a reborn time traveler, a Chinese with a Chinese name, just doing an ordinary catering business in this foreign country.
In his original world, he was working in a Sino-foreign joint venture company, doing an ordinary job that required frequent business trips. Because he was always pressed for time, he did not have the leisure and leisure that outsiders thought he could travel for work expenses.
The good thing is that you can eat different delicacies from different places.
When he went abroad to discuss cooperation, a local viral infection took away his life. Fortunately, he bought heavy insurance every time he went out. Although his parents would be sad for a while, his life in the future should be smooth.
Worry, I am also accompanied by other children, so I will not grow old alone.
Between the pain of being infected by the virus before death and the birth of a new baby, there is not a long wait, only the moment when you close your eyes and open them.
Just like a computer game, after copying the save file to the local folder of the game, you can open the game to read the file.
Although everything he had worked hard for before was gone, he was optimistic by nature and had already begun to plan for the rest of his life in his infancy.
Another way to say that everything is difficult at the beginning is that as long as you start well at the beginning, you can win later.
It’s just that the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. Within a few years, famine broke out in the village. In this Qing Dynasty, famine would kill people, and a large area would die in one death. His parents in this life were like this with the village elders.
Most of the people went together, leaving him who had not yet finished his childhood.
And he was almost there. The feeling of hunger was really uncomfortable. His mouth was filled with the bitter taste of grass, and his stomach was about to burst from the roots. He didn't expect that he who died of illness in his last life would starve to death in this life. It was really
Worse than salted fish.
While he was waiting painfully for death and wondering if there would be an opportunity to practice again as a leader in the next life, a group of gangs wearing black cloaks who looked like bad guys came to the village.
This group of people spread the news in the village that as long as you join them in Liangshanbo, you can have a full meal, which immediately caused an endless stream of responders. People in the village rushed out like a zombie siege. Unfortunately, there is an age limit for accepting people who exceed the age limit.
Restrictions will not be accepted.
Those who are not qualified and are driven away will certainly not give up just like that. When a person is hungry, he can do anything. Unbelievable things like Yi Zi cannibalizing each other still happen from time to time in this era.
So Lin Daoge doesn't dare to go to the streets to look for food these days, for fear of being caught and eaten by hungry people. He only dares to sneak into the wild at night to dig tree roots and fill his stomach. If he can have good luck
Catching bugs is a protein meal.
The group of Uchiha tribesmen who had been eliminated but were unwilling to give up their only hope were entangled together and prepared to overthrow the village's rule. They were preparing to grab some food from this group of outsiders. Their slogan was, do this
They were all trying to leave fire in the village, so their actions were sacred, but the results were a bit tragic.
Those cloaked weirdos actually knew martial arts. Everyone knew that the red-eyed patient couldn't beat the warriors. Both master and apprentice Xiao Li had the experience of kicking them over, so it was natural for the Uchiha clan members to fall.
And our protagonist who was hiding at home also knew the news because of the news of this armed fight. When he heard that Liang Shanbo was recruiting people, he wanted to roll his eyes.
What a Liangshanbo, and my name is Song Jiang. With an organization with such a name, no one would know that you wanted to rebel. In modern times, he would just call a reporting phone number and destroy you in minutes. Believe it or not.
But now, he had no choice, either to starve to death at home, or to join them, have a full meal, engage in prostitution together, and then wait to be discovered and be executed together.
One will die early and the other will die later. There is no need to think about which one to choose. Lin Daoge took advantage of the fallen villagers before they had the strength to get up, and ran to sign up. Then he did not need to submit his resume, and did not ask why he chose our company. After joining the company
He was put on a carriage and sent to the headquarters of Liangshanbo together with a group of similarly sallow-faced and skinny little kids.
