Zongman: The Glowing Cuisine Conquers the Tongue of God

After walking around the market, Li Yang decided to give Thor a difficult task.

Many of today’s ingredients are the result of high technology and hard work. Even a chef who has been working in the kitchen for decades may not be able to fully distinguish between good and bad ingredients.

But Thor can use his dragon's powerful and sharp sense of smell to easily distinguish the quality of ingredients. He is simply the best buyer in the restaurant!

Hearing Li Yang's arrangement, Thor's eyes sparkled and he immediately promised:

"Leave it to me, I'll buy you the freshest ingredients every day!"

Thor has already made up her mind that if Li Yang needs fresh seafood in the future, she plans to go to the sea to catch it herself.

How can the seafood you buy in the market be as fresh as the one you catch from the ocean yourself?

Although Thor doesn't like the ocean very much, after all, the ocean is the territory of her old enemy with whom she loves and hates each other, but for Li Yang, she is willing to do anything.

Back to the midnight canteen.

Li Yang saw Zhao Li flirting with two female ghosts dressed as princesses in the convenience store opposite.

Zhao Li seemed to have a sense of it. He turned his head and looked out the window. He also saw Li Yang. His eyes lit up. He coaxed the two female ghosts away and walked into the midnight canteen impatiently.

"Li Yang, you've become quite famous in Japan lately. It's even spread all over our place. I thought you wouldn't come back."

Li Yang was busy with his work while chatting with Zhao Li.

"Where will I go if I don't come back?"

"Of course I'm staying in Neon. The stability of the Thirteenth Forbidden Zone is all thanks to you... Besides, I heard that Neon women are very gentle and affectionate..."

Zhao Li raised his eyebrows at Li Yang and smiled a little obscenely.

Stare~

A pair of scarlet eyes appeared in the kitchen, staring at Zhao Li.

Zhao Li felt as if all the hairs on his body were standing on end, as if he was being targeted by a predator.

"Who the hell?!"

Zhao Li was so scared that he wanted to touch the gun stuck behind his back.

Thor walked out of the kitchen without saying a word and glared at Zhao Li fiercely.

This sinister guy is obviously not a good person. He actually wants Lord Li Yang to learn bad things!

Zhao Li also looked at Thor, and a golden light flashed in his eyes, and the cognitive magic on Thor was clearly seen.

A ferocious dragon appeared in Zhao Li's eyes.

"Oh shit, a dragon!"

Zhao Li was so frightened that he took three steps back and almost fell to the ground.

And it’s a Western dragon!

Sense the aura...very powerful!

Zhao Li looked at Li Yang again, and his eyes were completely different.

Full of admiration.

I was just using my power to play with two female ghosts.

Li Yang has actually kidnapped a giant Western dragon and transformed himself into a dragon knight?

Awesome! This is a real tough guy!

Li Yangcai didn't care about Zhao Li's teasing, but instead stabbed him in the heart.

"I heard there's a dismemberment case around here. As a soul ferryman, shouldn't you investigate it properly? Why are you still in the mood for a life of debauchery?"

Zhao Li looked gloomy.

"Don't mention it. That idiot Xia Dongqing just told me about this. He said there was a dismemberment case, but I didn't find the soul at all!"

"And the underworld also said the accounts don't match. In my jurisdiction, several souls should have reported down long ago, but they still haven't shown up."

"The underworld is looking for me, but I can't find anyone, so I have to drink to drown my sorrows..."

shit!

Li Yang didn't believe Zhao Li's nonsense.

There is such a huge five-story building right there, how could you, Zhao Li, not see it?

It's not like you haven't dealt with Taotie before, so how could you not find out the identity of the Fifth Young Master?

Li Yang stared at Zhao Li and saw that the old man's face was calm but his eyes were rolling around. He understood instantly.

Does this old guy want to shift the blame to someone else?

Chapter 46: Let’s have a food battle!

Seeing that Zhao Li looked like he was about to hold back his fart, Li Yang didn't bother to beat around the bush with him.

Make it clear directly.

"Brother Li, do you really not know the truth about the dismemberment case? And why did those souls suddenly disappear?"

Zhao Li was as weak as a piece of shit and was still pretending to be stupid.

"How should I know? I'm a soul ferryman, not the legendary detective Di Renjie... Solving cases requires professionals... That Lord Di is the judge over there. I wanted to ask him for help, but Hades won't let me go!"

Zhao Li spread his hands.

"I really have no other choice!"

Li Yang smiled slightly and temporarily put down the work in his hands.

"Hey, you've come to the right place. I know the truth about the dismemberment case, and I also know why those souls can't be found. Do you want to know?"

Zhao Li looked at Li Yang in surprise and doubt, not knowing whether the other party really knew or was deliberately deceiving him.

But he started this play, so he had to continue.

Zhao Li's eyes lit up and he said:

"Really? That's great! Tell me quickly so I can report to my superiors."

Li Yang stretched out his hand in front of Zhao Li with his palm open.

"I can't give you this information for free. I have to give you some reward, right?"

you……

Zhao Li was choked and said unhappily: "Okay, if you want the ghost money, this is the only thing I have on me."

Li Yang rolled his eyes. "I can't use your underworld money, but... I heard that your underworld version of the iPhone 8 is about to be released. Get me one."

Zhao Li looked at Li Yang in shock.

"Where did you hear this news?"

He was really scared.

The Hades version of the Apple phone is no secret in the underworld. Even the God of Hell, A-Cha, likes to use this phone, so they specially assigned 150 female assistants to Steve Jobs.

But how could Li Yang, a living person, know that the ghost version of iPhone 8 is about to be released?

and.

In order to get the ghost version of iPhone 8 on the Ghost Festival on July th, Zhao Li finally saved up a box of ghost money.

Thinking of this, Zhao Li became a little angry.

That guy Steve Jobs is such a jerk. He even uses hunger marketing in the underworld, limiting the number of units sold to 100 in each ghost market store.

Now Li Yang actually wants a Hades version of iPhone 8. No matter what, Zhao Li will never agree.

The main reason is... no money.

"No, absolutely not. You, a living person, can't use our Netherworld phones... Besides, the Netherworld iPhone 8 is too expensive. I finally saved up for it... Well, no way!"

Zhao Li almost told the truth.

He can't say that he has been saving up ghost money for a long time and can only buy a ghost version of iPhone 8, right?

What if Li Yang wants to snatch it away... Zhao Li glanced at Thor who was busy in the kitchen.

It's easy to see that with my little arms and legs, I'm no match for the dragon.

"Alright, since you're broke and can't afford the iPhone 8, I'll change the offer. Can you introduce me to the big client you promised me before?"

Li Yang did not forget that Zhao Li had promised to invite Pluto A-Cha to the midnight restaurant to taste golden scrambled eggs.

"Damn, who are you calling poor... Never mind, I won't argue with you." Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Yang didn't die and was chasing him for the afterlife version of iPhone 8.

When Zhao Li heard him mention the big client, he was no longer sleepy.

Recently, Hades A-Cha's temper has become more and more weird and irritable, just like an old woman in menopause. Letting her eat a bowl of golden fried rice to purify herself is a good thing for all colleagues in the underworld.

"Don't worry, I will never break my promise to you, so now you should tell me where all those disappeared souls went."

Li Yang pointed out the window, motioning Zhao Li to look at the fifth floor diagonally opposite where red lanterns were hanging.

"Isn't it right under your nose? On the fifth floor? I heard the owner is called the Fifth Young Master..."

"Thor told me before that she smelled the scent of a powerful beast nearby. This reminded me of a beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"Taotie!"

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that Taotie has a human face and a sheep's body, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, and sounds like a baby."

"And in folklore, Taotie is the fifth son of the dragon."

"So isn't that the answer?"

Li Yang glanced at Zhao Li with a faint smile on his lips, an expression that said "there is only one truth".

Zhao Li felt very uncomfortable all over, as if Li Yang had seen through him.

At this moment, he was extremely shocked.

He didn't expect that Li Yang actually found the mastermind behind the disappearance of the soul!

"This kid... is simply amazing!"

That's right.

Zhao Li actually knew a long time ago that the person behind the fifth floor was the Fifth Young Master, the ferocious beast Taotie!

and.

Zhao Li was also certain that the Fifth Young Master came here just for Xia Dongqing's eyes.

Chiyou's eyes!

Originally, according to Zhao Li's plan, this matter should be reported to the underworld. The King of Hell, A Cha, would never allow anyone to dare to plot against his brother's soul. He would definitely negotiate with the Dragon King and ask him to capture his unfortunate son, Taotie.

However, once you do that.

Zhao Li was worried that Pluto A Cha would take Xia Dongqing away and cause disputes among the three realms.

That's a big problem.

But after seeing Li Yang coming back, Zhao Li instantly thought of a good idea.

That is to let Li Yang and the Fifth Young Master have a cooking showdown!

The special term should be "food war"!

Both parties bet on Xia Dongqing's eyes, and only the winner will get the right to dispose of Xia Dongqing's eyes.

Zhao Li had already heard about Li Yang in Neon. That was a god-level dish that could be offered to heaven and earth... defeating a mere Taotie would definitely be a piece of cake.

And what about Taotie?

Zhao Li had dealt with the Fifth Young Master a long time ago. He was an arrogant man who considered himself a gourmet and had learned excellent cooking skills over the years.

But he is definitely not a dragon-level chef!

If Li Yang wins over the Fifth Young Master, wouldn’t that be a sure thing?

Although Li Yang is currently only a Tiger-level chef recognized by IGO, Zhao Li is very confident in him and feels that many Lin-level chefs are no match for him.

Zhao Li thought this plan was foolproof.
