What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The interior of the Audi a8L is very quiet. Thanks to the good sound insulation of the car, the wind noise and road noise outside are basically isolated.

There was no music playing in the car, and no one was talking. The attention of the other three people was on "President Qi" on the right side of the back row.

When they got into the car just now, "President Qi" was always in a tense and extremely tense state. His bald head was covered with blue veins, covered with cold sweat, and his eyes were dull and frightened, bloodshot.

Although the others were a little confused and didn't understand the situation, they could all see that "President Qi" was not in the right state.

Boss Liu Feibao, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, asked in a low voice, "Mr. Qi, shall we go directly to the hospital?"

Mr. Qi raised his hand to tell him not to speak.

After a few minutes, President Qi let out a long breath, his back that had been stretched all the time finally softened, and he lay down on the back of the back seat, as if he was alive again.

Only then did Liu Feibao ask in a low voice: "Mr. Qi, what's wrong with you? Or... we should go directly to Jianzhou City, to the No. 1 Hospital?"

Mr. Qi shook his head and said, "It's okay, just find a place to drink tea, sober up and take a rest."

Liu Feibao then told the driver the name of a club, and then turned around and said, "Mr. Qi, are you mad at that Guang... that impolite boy? Don't worry, I've written down their license plates, they are all local. If you find the car, you can find the people, it won't make things easier for them." He wanted to say "that bald boy" at first, but he immediately realized that Mr. Qi was also bald, so he quickly stopped talking.

When Mr. Qi heard this, he suddenly turned his head to stare at him, and said very solemnly and even sternly: "Don't trouble them, if you touch him, our cooperation will be out of the question. Remember clearly , I'm not kidding."

Liu Feibao was stunned, he didn't quite understand, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Qi, who do you know?" In his impression, Mr. Qi was more vengeful than him, so he thought that Mr. Qi recognized those two cars. The identity of a certain person or persons in the car, I know not to be messed with.

"I don't know. Let's pretend that today's incident never happened. I will ask the company's finance to transfer 30,000 yuan to you. Don't talk about it anymore." Mr. Qi waved his hand, leaned his head on the headrest of the back seat, and closed his eyes. Rest up.

Liu Feibao originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Mr. Qi's appearance, he also knew that if he refused forcefully, not only would it not sell well, but it would make him unhappy, so he shut up wisely.

As soon as Qi Haoguo closed his eyes, he couldn't help thinking of the hideous monster he just saw in his mind.

So after a while, he couldn't help but open his eyes again, and looked at the seat next to him. Fortunately, the fat man Liu Feibao was already sitting there. Seeing him looking over, Liu Feibao immediately adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and returned a flattering smile.

Qi Haoguo withdrew his gaze, and instead of closing his eyes and dozing off, he looked at the scenery that was flying backwards outside the car window.

From the moment he saw the tall monster with eight arms and eight eyes covered with tumors, he could tell from the reactions of other people that no one else could see the monster except him, otherwise, they would never have seen it. Not that reaction.

It was precisely because of this that at the first moment, he felt that he was hallucinating from drinking too much, until the monster pinched his head, and he even felt that his head might be wrung off directly.

The monster told him that he couldn't afford to offend the people in those two cars, and don't let the people around him provoke him again, otherwise, they would come to him again, and then they wouldn't be as "gentle" as they are today.

No matter which senses are used to judge, the monster is real.

And other people can't see it, which shows how terrifying and powerful it is.

In addition to the shock of the senses, the direct shock and fear, that monster also made him feel a certain sense of fear that originated from himself.

He seemed to find that the diseases he was most afraid of all appeared in his body one after another in an instant. Just for a while, he seemed to be paralyzed all over his body, sitting on the back seat and couldn't move at all, and he didn't feel any sensation below his neck. For a few seconds, he felt that something in his body was gnawing at his organs, eating away at his flesh.

From the time he saw the monster to the moment when the monster finally disappeared, these few minutes seemed to him like an adventure that lasted several years. It also made him think a lot, looking back at what he had done in half his life like a flashback, recalling the time when relatives, friends and family were together, and even seriously thinking about death.

After the monster disappeared, he felt a sense of relaxation as if he had been reborn. He saw through many of his previous entanglements and obsessions in a trance, and seemed to have a clearer understanding and understanding of himself and the world.

So in his heart, he was not simply afraid of the monster, but a sense of awe that seemed to originate from the depths of his soul. As for hatred and anger, he had no trace of it.

He knew that the monster must be related to the bald guy with glasses who came over later. Although he didn't want to take revenge, he was still very curious and wanted to know the origin of that same bald guy. But thinking of the monster's warning, he suppressed his curiosity forcibly, not daring to make mistakes. He also told Liu Feibao not to commit suicide and implicate himself.

Qi Haoguo suddenly remembered something, sat up straight, and looked back at Liu Feibao beside him: "Mr. Liu."

"Yes, Mr. Qi, please tell me." Liu Feibao, who was making various guesses in his heart, straightened up and replied immediately.

"Our cooperation, what we talked about during lunch, the general direction remains the same, we still follow that, but some details and methods need to be adjusted." Qi Haoguo said in a deep voice.

Liu Feibao's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that it's over, President Qi is still dissatisfied with his previous handling, this is about to explode.

But what Boss Qi said next made him confused again and became even more confused.

"I will shorten your payment cycle, increase the budget, and you will also increase the quotations for downstream people, but there must be requirements in the contract, and some ways of doing things need to be adjusted, and you must follow the specifications."

"But...if it's according to your request, then the budget increase may be a bit big, Mr. Qi, your company..."

"I know, this time I decided to give up these profits and give back to the local area. Of course, I can also train the team along the way." Qi Haoguo said solemnly, "I will let the people from the company come to connect with you later on for the specific details. There must be some supervision, don’t think about swallowing all the extra money as profit, my money is not so easy to get.”

"Yes, don't worry." Liu Feibao replied, but his heart became more and more puzzled. What is Mr. Qi doing? Is this still the famous "Granzi" and "Qi Pai Skin"?

...

Although "Youlong Restaurant" is still closed, a large group of them still come here for dinner at night.

Because all the ingredients prepared by You Meng are here, and when you want to discuss the shooting details of the new video later, you will also use the kitchen here. Moreover, the big table in the hall on the first floor is also convenient for a large group of them to eat together without disturbing others.

Because there was so much delay on the road, after entering the town, according to Xiang Kun's suggestion, You Meng drove the Sagitar directly to "Youlong Restaurant". He and Xiang Kun got off the car and went to the restaurant to prepare dinner, while Yang Zhen Er then drove Tang Baona and Zhang Qian to the hotel to settle down.

As for Liang Yulong's car, it drove directly to the hotel.

After Zhang Qian and Tang Baona took a shower in the hotel, took a rest, and drove to "Youlong Restaurant" together, the dinner for "Chef You" and "Chef Xiang" was ready.

Needless to say, Xiang Kun's cooking skills, You Meng is also a real person who has been a professional chef for many years and has opened a restaurant by himself. In addition, Xiang Kun knows the tastes of the target diners at night, and the dishes he cooks have a certain quality. The pertinence, of course, was praised.

Even Zhang Qian, who is used to eating multi-national delicacies and is well-informed, is full of praise for these rabbit meat prepared in different ways, as well as several other local specialties.

Not only her, Yang Jie, Yang Zhuo, Xiao Min, and Zicheng who had never eaten Xiang Kun's dishes before were also full of admiration. In particular, they were even more surprised to find that the few dishes that were very appetizing were all made by Xiang Kun, which compared the professional chef You Meng.

Especially Yang Zhuo and Xiao Min, this young couple regarded Xiang Kun as a "master" and "idol". When I knew from Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona that Xiang Kun could cook, and he did a pretty good job, I already had high expectations for his cooking skills, but I didn't expect that after actually eating his dishes, It still broke through the expected value and gave them a pleasant surprise. Yang Zhener's "Chef Xiang" really wasn't just a joke.

Zicheng also ate with relish, and sighed: "Ah Tu, where did you learn your cooking skills? It's so amazing! I have eaten rabbit meat before, and the recipe seems to be similar, but it is not so delicious. Ah! Coach, I want to learn how to cook!! Give me a chance!"

"How did I give you a chance?" Xiang Kun answered casually. He and Zicheng had been roommates for many years and stayed together every day. Now that his perception ability is so strong, he naturally knew what he was thinking.

Sure enough, Zicheng immediately said: "I had no choice before, but now I want to be a chef."

Xiang Kun made a gun gesture with his finger, pointed at him, and said solemnly: "Okay, tell the rabbit in your bowl to see if it will let you be the chef."

Zicheng's eyes widened, and he said with an innocent face, "That means I'm going to die."

Xiang Kun: "Sorry, I'm a chef."

"I'll go! You two are too funny, you can cosplay Infernal Affairs after a meal? Liu Dechuang, Liang Chaokun?" Yang Zhen'er couldn't help complaining, but she was actually smiling happily.

The others had already heard that the two of them were spoofing Infernal Affairs' rooftop rivalry, and they were all laughing out loud, and Yang Jie, who had the lowest laugh, burst into tears.

Xiang Kun wondered, just now, if he activated the emotion-affecting effect of "Twelve Yellow Men" at the same time, would Yang Jie faint from laughter?

Zhang Qian said: "I heard from Nana that you cook by yourself by looking for tutorials and recipes on the Internet to study, and improving it bit by bit by yourself? And you only started learning to cook this year? In that case, you really have to Admittedly, you are really talented in cooking, if you can maintain this taste steadily, you can actually open a shop in a first-tier big city, the business will be very hot, and you will earn more."

Xiang Kun said with a smile: "The cost of opening a store in a first-tier big city is too heavy. If it is not done, it will not last. If it is done here, it will be considered to open branches in the surrounding areas in the future, and slowly develop the brand."

Keep this smell? how is this possible……

In order to prepare the meal tonight, You Meng spent a lot of time and money on buying and processing the ingredients. He has high requirements on the quality and freshness of the ingredients, and because he made many adjustments to their tastes, Xiang Kun In the process of cooking, there are also many cumbersome and complicated steps.

If you are a local in Copperstone Town or diners from other places, you may not feel the same way as them after eating these dishes tonight, and it is impossible for him and You Meng to investigate and understand other diners every time they come. Taste, and then adjust.

After the start of business, each dish must pay attention to the cost and efficiency of production, as long as it maintains a relatively constant basic taste suitable for most target diners, just like the difference between a mass-produced car and a customized racing car.

Of course, he won't go into details with Zhang Qian and the others.

Because after the restaurant reopens, what he uses to "conquer" the diners who come to the restaurant is not only the taste of the dishes themselves, but also other "secret weapons".

After the successful experiment of "Twelve Yellow Men" on the emotional assimilation of people around him, Xiang Kun already had a complete plan to make "appetite-boosting props".

At that time, he can directly encapsulate the eating emotions transformed from the little chubby girl Liu Shiling into several wood carvings through "emotional injection", and then arrange them in the store.

Inductive activation is performed during meal times to promote the appetite of customers who enter the store, enhance their dining experience, and strengthen the positive feedback received by various rabbit meat dishes in the store.

In fact, he doesn't need to use "emotional injection" wood carvings to "cheat" all the time, as long as he uses them for a period of time in the early stage.

With the enthusiasm and attention created by online videos and human flesh analysis posts, it attracts the first wave of customers who come to the store, and then do some activities such as live broadcasts, so that the first wave of customers can bring enthusiastic feedback, forming a boom online or locally Finally, as long as you keep your own dishes and fixed tastes.

Because at that time, their various rabbit meat dishes may become a representative delicacy of Copperstone Town with this heat.

Once a food becomes a representative delicacy, it will become a fixed choice for many people, and a choice when there is no choice.

It seems that many people in Beijing think that the taste of roast duck in Beijing is the same, but as long as someone comes to them, no matter what, they have to take it to eat once, and they have to go to the most authentic ones. The specialties of other places are the same. reason.

Xiang Kun wanted to turn their "Youlong"-style rabbit meat into a famous special delicacy in Tongshi Town, even the entire Jianzhou City and Haixi Province.

Of course, that's something for later, and the horoscope has not been written yet.

After the meal, when everyone was about to clean up together, You Meng suddenly stood up and said to everyone: "Next, we will invite one of the chefs tonight, one of the shareholders of our store, and 'Eddie Peng of Erythronia City' Mr. Xiang Kun, known as Mr. Xiang Kun, will give you an after-dinner talk show, and everyone applauds and welcomes you."

Although most people looked confused and didn't know why, but there was excitement to watch, and naturally they applauded enthusiastically and booed - of course, mainly booing the nickname of "Eddie Peng of Erythronia City".

Xiang Kun buttoned his coat, straightened his collar, and then walked in front of everyone, keeping a certain distance from the dining table. Obviously, he was prepared.

In fact, when he and You Meng first came to the store to prepare dinner, they originally planned to have You Meng perform this short talk show. It is a gimmick to raise the popularity and topicality.

He and Yang Zhuo had found and adapted the jokes online, or thought of them out of brainstorming. They were all short and easy to memorize.

As for the performance ability, don't worry, the technology is not enough, we have "plug-ins" to make up for it.

He has already arranged the "Twelve Yellow Men" around the hall on the first floor of the restaurant. Before the opening, we will do some small renovations on the side to place these minion wood carvings, and the wood carvings that will be used to "stimulate appetite" in the future will also be placed there, which can also be used as a feature of their store .

But You Meng still couldn't let go, and finally Xiang Kun used some skills to persuade him to agree. Xiang Kun will try it first at night, and if the effect is good, he will go to it tomorrow night.

It just so happened that Xiang Kun could also try the specific influence and effect of the "Twelve Yellow Men" in such a large space after they were placed in a distributed manner.

Xiao Min at the dining table glanced at her boyfriend. She knew that Yang Zhuo was helping Xiang Kun to come up with some funny jokes, so when she saw that Xiang Kun was going to perform a talk show, she knew that those jokes should be used for the performance, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Worry.

Because of those jokes, Yang Zhuo actually showed her the performance. At that time, let alone joking, she had goose bumps all over her body, and it was really a bit cold.

But after a few minutes, that worry disappeared. She didn't expect Xiang Kun to modify the same joke a little bit, and after saying it, it gave people a completely different feeling. Even though Xiao Min had heard her boyfriend tell it and knew the turning point, she would still be rocking with laughter, not to mention Others are gone.

There are four jokes in total, each of which lasts from 40 seconds to a minute, and the total time is less than four minutes. The number of times everyone laughed together exceeded seven times. After Xiang Kun's performance, everyone's laughter It hasn't stopped yet. And not only Yang Jie laughed and cried, but Tang Baona also laughed and cried. It seems that girls who wear glasses have lower smiles?

In fact, after being distributed in this way, even if they are activated at the same time, the effect of the "Twelve Yellow Men" is very limited, far less than when they are on the plane.

But the jokes that Xiang Kun said were all the type that would be funny if you got it to a certain point, but inexplicable or even a little cold if you didn't get it.

And the joyful emotions of "Twelve Yellow Men" can just help everyone pull the laughter to the same frequency. After listening to those jokes, as long as you think about it a little bit, and have a slight tendency to want to laugh, it will be strengthened, and then you will be immersed in it. In the rhythm of the joke, at the final reversal point, the emotions burst out.

As long as the first joke is laughed, then there will be a snowball effect, and it will become more and more funny.

In the future, if you actually have no money, you can also consider going to acupuncture points, performing talk shows, cross talks or something.

When Xiang Kun was quite complacent, Zicheng stood up with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "What's 'Peng Yuyan, Eitong City', you should be 'Guo Degang, Tongshi Town'! "

There was another burst of laughter in the restaurant, and even the pedestrians passing by the closed shop were startled.
