“What to do now?” Cheng Qi looked at the braised chicken that turned into a pot of soup and scratched his head.
“How about making a chicken soup?” Xiao Liu suggested, thinking of turning the situation around.
Cheng Qi nodded in agreement, “It seems okay.”
Tan Eyu, who had a panoramic view of this scene in the kitchen, finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “I’m really impressed by you two, living like this. I haven’t seen anyone cooking like you for a long time.”
Xiaa Liu looked at the female ghost who was laughing so hard and asked suspiciously, “So you know how to cook?”
This was a reminder. Cheng Qi looked at Tan Eyu with sparkling eyes, “Yeah, how could I forget.”
The laughter in the kitchen stopped suddenly, and Tan Eyu said with some embarrassment on her face, “This is all old woman’s business. Yes, and what I cook is a big pot of rice, which is not suitable for your young master to eat.”
After finishing speaking, Tan Eyu saw Cheng Qi raising his hand to use the Ghost Control Order. She was so frightened that she quickly said, “Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I can’t help you with the cooking, but I can call a kid over.”
“What can a kid do?” Xiao Liu was a little confused, imagining a child with two braids and a red-painted face. What culinary skills could such a kid have?
Afraid that Cheng Qi would really capture her and force her to become a cook, Tan Eyu closed her eyes and quickly used the Soul Summoning Technique. Within a moment, a phantom appeared in the kitchen, and an old man with white hair stood in front of Tan Eyu. Standing proudly, he asked, “What are the instructions for summoning the ghost?”
Cheng Qi found out that the little ghost Tan Eyu was talking about was actually the respected old man in front of them. He was a little dumbfounded, but now it seemed that ghosts were not that scary.
“Old man, can you cook?” Tan Eyu glanced at the little ghost whose body had not yet fully appeared and frowned, thinking she might have summoned the wrong soul.
“When I was alive, I was the heir to a family of chefs. If you ask me, other old men wouldn’t know it, but cooking is my special skill,” the old man said with a profound expression on his face, hands behind his back.
“That’s enough, let’s make a contract.” After hearing what the little ghost said, Tan Eyu finally confirmed that she had summoned the right soul.
Cheng Qi understood immediately after hearing this, raised his hand, and placed a ghost slave contract on the soul in front of him. Remembering that Tan Eyu mentioned the effect of his blood that morning, he worriedly placed a soul control order.
“What are you doing?” Yin Zhong suddenly found that he had become the ghost slave of a young shuanger and asked with an inexplicable look on his face.
“The master wants to learn cooking skills; teach them everything you know,” Tan Eyu pointed at Cheng Qi and Xiao Liu and said to the ghost in front of her.
Yin Zhong glanced at the two of them critically, stretched out his hand to stroke the beard on his chin, and shook his head, “I have very high requirements for selecting apprentices. Even for the ghost master, I will not teach him easily.”
“Then what do you want to do? How are you willing to teach?” Cheng Qi asked with a pure face, but he was playing with a coquettish purple fire in his hand.
Tan Eyu glanced at the flames on Cheng Qi’s hand, and her eyebrows jumped unconsciously. This boy really learned the essence well.
Yin Zhong felt the threat from the other party, and his face still had the same air of dignity, but the topic of conversation changed, “What ingredients are there in the kitchen.”
As soon as Xiao Liu heard this, he immediately replied, “There are shrimps, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and a pot of chicken soup.” After saying that, he opened the lid of the pot and showed the chef the poor chicken soup inside.
Seeing this messy pot, Yin Zhong was almost so angry that he blew his beard and glared, “What kind of chicken soup is this? How can you waste food like this? What a sin, what a sin! Children cannot be taught!”
“Hurry up and do it, don’t just stand there,” Tan Eyu said impatiently after listening to his endless chatter.
Yin Zhong finally calmed down and asked them to take out the chicken quickly, prepared the seasonings again, soaked and marinated them, and began to teach them how to handle other ingredients. There was a chef here, although Cheng Qi and Xiao Liu were still a little confused, they finally didn’t have to scratch their heads anymore.

“Young Master Guan looks a lot more energetic,” Li Tianyan looked up and down at Guan Haoran, who walked in. He seemed to have made great progress after not seeing him for a few days.
“It’s all thanks to Brother Li’s prescription,” Guan Haoran said with a hearty smile.
After returning that day, he couldn’t wait to follow Li Tianyan’s advice. In just a few days, he could already feel the energy in his body rising. He would probably be able to try to reach the third level soon.
“Brother Li talked about opening a medicinal pill store last time. I have already chosen the location of the store for you. It is near Biyun Building. The surrounding shops sell high-end goods. Children of aristocratic families in Jincheng often go there to shop; it is also close to the Guan family and easy to take care of.” Guan Haoran took out a store title deed and pushed it in front of Li Tianyan.
“You can just lend me the store for a short time. You don’t have to give me the land deed,” Li Tianyan said, somewhat dumbfounded.
“It’s just a shop. Just treat it as a thank-you gift for the prescription. Brother Li, just accept it,” Guan Haoran said arrogantly. Li Tianyan had refused to accept payment for the prescription last time, and after he returned, he had received a stern scolding from his mother.
“The decoration of the store is still new. It used to be a store selling treasures. Now it should be suitable for opening a medicine store. Just change the plaque, and it can open for business.”
“Thank you very much, Young Master Guan,” Li Tianyan said, examining the store’s address. They had passed by it last time, and the location was indeed excellent. If the decoration didn’t need to be changed much, it would save him a lot of trouble.
