Chapter 535: After the Luck Was Stolen, the Survival Game Came
Master Shiyi looked at this scene, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he looked very proud.
Soon... Master Lu Yi will be blacklisted by Shiweilou forever!
He was just imagining the future grandeur of Shiwei Building when a voice broke his fantasy.
"Master, since you have accepted me as your disciple today and saved my life with the health pills, this meal today must be paid for by your disciple!"
It was the fat guy who stood up!
He had no good impression of Master Shiyi at all, but he was not afraid of offending him. More importantly, Master Luyi accepted him as a disciple, and he accepted the favor, so he should stand on the side of his master.
Master Shiyi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he looked at the fat man with a serious gaze.
"Even if you two decide to establish a master-disciple relationship now, if you pay for Master Lu Yi, it would be considered payment on his behalf. Are you sure you want to pay?"
"Yes."
The fat man nodded and looked at him coldly, "How much?"
Master Shiyi looked grim: "..."
He glanced at the nearest staff member, who immediately handed him a list with the dishes ordered by each customer.
"Master Lu Yi's table of food costs 5000 gold coins."
"What? 5000 gold coins?"
When Lu Jia heard this unfamiliar number, he couldn't help but roar.
"The food we ordered wasn't that much at all. It was clearly 3000 gold coins!"
Master Appetite glanced at him lightly and said nothing.
However, the staff came forward in time, handed him the menu and motioned for him to look at it.
Lu Jia pulled over the menu, and Master Lu Yi and his fellow apprentices all came over to take a look.
When they saw that the price of every dish on the menu had doubled, the nine people showed expressions of shock and anger at the same time.
"This menu is wrong! The menu you brought earlier is not this one!"
Master Shiyi looked over in confusion, "What are you talking about? The menus at Shiweilou are all the same, no matter the price or the dishes, they are all the same price. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask other people here if there is something wrong with the menu?"
"you!"
Lu Jia reluctantly grabbed the guest next to him and asked.
"Look, is this the menu correct?"
The customer next to him came over curiously, but was a little confused after seeing the price above.
"That's right, the menu is fine!"
“No, impossible… Impossible!”
Lu Jia didn't believe it, so he asked several other customers, and they all said there was nothing wrong with the menu.
Seeing this scene, how could Master Lu Yi not understand that from the moment they entered the Shiwei Building, they might have fallen into Master Shiyi's trap.
"Lu Jia, come back!"
He called out to the senior disciple who looked distraught, and then looked at the new junior disciple.
"The chef is very pleased that you have this kind heart! If it is inconvenient, you can just take care of the dishes for your table!"
I don’t know if his new disciple has any money. If he can’t pay the bill after paying their money, and is accused of eating and freeing people, then why bother?
It just means more people will suffer together!
"Don't worry, Master, I'm very convenient! Besides, I almost lost my life in Shiweilou. According to the market management rules, the owner of Shiweilou can't easily take my money!"
The fat man nodded secretly to his new master, then looked at Master Shiyi with disgust.
Master Shiyi's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly scanned the crowd, but he still couldn't find the person he was looking for.
Finally, he fixed his eyes on Jiang Yueshu and the other four.
He narrowed his eyes. These people... were also disciples of Master Kong Kong...
The five people felt uncomfortable being stared at and huddled together to mutter.
"What does he mean? Why is he staring at us?"
"He... wouldn't want us to..."
Jiang Yueshu sneered in his heart, then a puzzled and helpless expression appeared on his face, and he shook his head slightly.
Looking at Jiang Yueshu's performance, Master Shiyi instantly straightened his mouth corners and his eyes became deep.
"Here you go! Boss, the meal fee is 5000 gold coins! Please make sure you count it in public, so that you don't get it wrong!"
The tall and thin man was holding a purse and threw it directly at Master Shiyi with a bad look in his eyes.
The fat man became Master Luyi's new disciple, so he naturally belonged to Master Luyi's side.
If the master is willing to give out health pills for free, how could anyone come here to eat and dine for free?
In that case, what the masters said is true!
They brought money bags, and all nine of them had their money bags stolen...
Their meal prices are different, and the menu I saw before is definitely different from what others have seen...
So, all this was caused by Master Shiyi?
Master Shiyi felt extremely humiliated when money was thrown at him in public.
And because he was Fatty's friend and Fatty had gotten into trouble at Shiweilou, he could only endure the humiliation.
He checked his purse with a blank expression and looked at the tall and thin man, "No problem."
The tall and thin man rolled his eyes and walked back to the fat man.
The fat man looked at Master Lu Yi and said something meaningful.
"Since the bill has been settled, Master, you can say whatever you want. You are my master, and it is normal for you to care about my health, and it is not considered meddling in other people's business!"
"Of course! I guess... Master Shiyi can't find any reason to refuse!"
Seeing Master Shiyi's ugly face, Master Luyi felt extremely happy, and he took out his small wooden trumpet again.
After putting it on, look at the crowd.
"A few days ago, I encountered a strange thing. There was a famous chef who liked to travel around to promote his cooking skills. He left a dish for several predestined people, and it was warmly praised by them——"
The crowd subconsciously looked at Master Shiyi.
There is no other reason, Master Shiyi is famous for his cooking skills and he also loves traveling.
When Master Luyi mentioned this at this time, could he be referring to Master Shiyi?
Master Shiyi really didn't understand what Master Luyi was up to. As he looked at Master Luyi who was talking, a new idea popped up in his mind.
"Master Shiyi!"
He interrupted the chattering Master Shiyi and said, "If you only want to tell stories, then there is no need for me to stay!"
Master Shiyi looked at him and said, "Now that the story is told, it's naturally my apprentice's turn!"
"In that case, I'm sorry I can't keep you company! Wait until you finish your story, and then have someone call me!"
Master Lu Yi said impatiently. He knew that if he left so impulsively, the diners at the scene would definitely think that he was perfunctory.
But he has more important things to do right now and cannot delay any further.
"Please!"
Master Luyi doesn't care. Without Master Shiyi's presence, he can only tell the story more smoothly.
If Master Shiyi were present, he would probably interrupt constantly.
Master Shiyi waved his sleeves angrily and went upstairs, while Master Luyi continued to tell his story.
"Before leaving, the cook even claimed that the food he left behind had special effects that could alleviate and clear the mental damage caused by the polluted air!"
This……
Everyone in the crowd looked at each other with strange expressions.
The food cooked by Master Shiyi has this effect. Not only can it relieve the impact of turbid air afterwards, but long-term consumption will also enhance the body's resistance to polluted turbid air.
For today's polluted areas and environments full of polluted air, such an effect is tantamount to a vaccine. That is why Shiweilou is more popular among people.
So, was Master Luyi referring to Master Shiyi?
Or... is there a new rising star in the culinary world?
"Then what……"
Someone in the crowd couldn't wait to ask.
Master Lu Yi looked at him and continued to share the story, "I was also very curious about this kind of thing at the time, so I didn't leave, but wanted to see if the effect of the food was as the cook said. At this time, a group of people happened to be affected by the polluted air. They experienced a fierce battle with the polluted beasts and suffered extremely serious mental damage..."
"At this time, a destined person took out the dishes left by the cook, explained their efficacy, and exchanged them with the person who suffered mental damage. After the person ate the cook's dishes, his symptoms gradually eased, and his mental damage also improved significantly..."
Everyone showed an expectant look, "Master, who is the cook? Can you introduce him to us?"
Master Lu Yi waved his hand, "Don't be impatient, I haven't finished my story yet."
Everyone had to suppress their anxiety and wait patiently to listen to the story.
"I was very surprised and was about to leave when something happened to the man who had eaten the cook's food. When he went to wash the dishes, the dishes accidentally slipped out of his hands and suddenly broke. The fragments splashed directly onto his body, and the blood quickly soaked his clothes. I was shocked and threw him a bottle of medicine, which stopped the bleeding in time. That night, he got up in the middle of the night and fell flat on his foot, causing a serious fracture. The next day, he was almost choked to death while eating..."
Everyone showed a look of surprise and doubt, and some people subconsciously looked at the fat man who had just twisted his foot.
Jiang Yueshu and the others showed strange expressions on their faces. Obviously, the second half of Master Lu Yi's story was the focus.
"I thought it was very strange at the time. At least before he ate the food cooked by the cook, the man was not as unlucky as he is now. At this time, the special effect of the cook's food was spread, and other infected people also looked for the destined person that the cook met, wanting to trade the food with special effects. Among them, two destined people also reached a deal. When I heard the news, I wanted to find out the reason, so I went to see the other two infected people."
Master Lu Yi showed a puzzled expression on his face at the right time, and seemed to be completely immersed in his memories.
"The second infected person loved hotpot. After his mental pollution was eliminated, he had a hotpot meal. After eating, he vomited and had diarrhea. I stayed there for two whole days. He vomited and had diarrhea almost every hour, and it lasted for two whole days. This was very unusual. When I met him, he was so thin that he looked unrecognizable and seemed to have anorexia. He couldn't eat at all."
"The third infected person was sleepwalking that night, and was poured with cold water. When he woke up the next day, he had a high fever. After taking antipyretics, the fever subsided, but it soon came back. That night, his house was attacked by seabirds again, and a big hole was broken in the window. His fever became even worse..."
"what?"
Everyone at the scene showed a look of shock and asked questions one after another.
"So how are they doing now?"
Master Lu Yi's eyes flashed with pain. "Except for the first infected person who is still recovering, the other two infected people are..."
He shook his head, and everyone instantly realized that the two men were dead.
Everyone was silent, slowly digesting Master Lu Yi's words.
Jiang Yueshu and the other four were also thinking about something.
After listening to the story shared by Master Lu Yi, they also understood.
The predestined people that Master Lu Yi mentioned should be Yan Xining and the others, and the three infected people are Wang Sheng, Li Fei, and Hu Liuliu, whom she knew.
Master Lu Yi was actually paying personal attention to this matter and knew all the twists and turns involved, unlike them who only heard it from hearsay.
"Afterwards..." Master Lu Yi suddenly spoke, and everyone looked up at him and listened attentively.
"I went to the person that the cook met, and I got some unexpected news. According to her, she knew something about this cook. He was very accomplished in cooking, but the dishes he made had a fatal flaw... That is, the skill of blessing and disaster would be triggered during the cooking process. Either the spiritual pollution brought by the polluted air would be eliminated smoothly after eating, or the body would be possessed by bad luck after eating. This even includes being corroded by the polluted air and dying!"
"!!!" Everyone looked at Master Lu Yi in horror.
Combined with the fact that he insisted on telling this story between the Fatty and Master Shiyi, everyone looked at the Fatty.
The fat man also held onto his two companions with a look of fear on his face, not daring to move at all.
There was an unexpected food poisoning today. Master Miaoshou and his apprentice were not there. He was supported by someone but sprained his ankle due to the cup...
Could it be that...he...
The tall and thin man and the young girl looked at the fat man sympathetically and said, "You should not move around for the time being."
"Master? May I ask... this famous chef you mentioned..."
Someone in the crowd asked cautiously.
"That's right!"
Master Lu Yi sighed deeply, "That person was indeed Master Shi Yi at that time!"
"what?"
There were gasps one after another, but then someone started to have new doubts.
"Since this skill is triggered randomly, then why are all of us fine? According to the story shared by the master, the first three infected people all triggered the bad luck possession. Shouldn't the probability be very high? But today... why is there only one person in trouble?"
Master Lu Yi slowly shifted his gaze to the kitchen, his tone inexplicable.
"I used to be confused about this question, but then I met a friend who had dined at Shiweilou three months ago. He had a dish from Shiweilou and suffered from stomach discomfort. He made a fool of himself! Afterwards, on his way home, he encountered pirates blocking his way. Because of this, I became more certain of my guess. Until today, before I went to the toilet, I accidentally saw a strange man entering the kitchen. He was wearing a mask and his identity was unknown. Not long after that, Master Shiyi appeared. He took the cart from the kitchen and went to the private room upstairs. According to him, all the dishes at Shiweilou were made by him, but I saw with my own eyes that he... took the dishes made by others for himself!"
