I'm a chef in Infinity Thriller

"My lord, what you predicted before has happened." The master said respectfully.

"Come in."

"Yes."

Master pushed open the door and walked in.

The door closed automatically, and it was pitch black inside.

In a house in the inner courtyard, Ji Su Niang squatted on the ground, looking through the items in the box.

Inside are the land deeds and bank notes neatly wrapped in oiled paper, as well as a cookbook in a red sandalwood box.

Qiuli borrowed the recipe and looked through it, and a paragraph of analysis text appeared next to it:

[Ji's recipe:
This is a recipe, and it is also a reminder. In the early years, Ji's family was the imperial cook, and a secret decree from the previous dynasty was caught in this recipe. Time passed, and it has lost its effect...

However, some people always think that it is related to a treasure map, or, it is really related to a treasure map...]

Qiu Li's eyebrows twitched, and she turned the recipe from the beginning to the end, but she didn't see anything unusual. After returning the recipe to Ji Suiniang, she couldn't help but dragged Ji Suiniang to the corner and said something:

"Sister Ji, since this recipe has caused so much trouble, you might as well give it to Mr. Ding, so that he can protect it and save others from coveting it."

She was really worried that if Ji Suniang continued to hold this recipe, sooner or later she would be killed.

Ji Su Niang put the recipe back into the rosewood box and said softly, "That's exactly what I mean."

After a while, the maid brought lunch, and Xiao Fu went back to accompany her family.

Qiu Li and Ji Su Niang were sitting in the small living room on the left and on the right, having lunch. Xiao Tuanzi ate too much before, and lay on the ground in the yard, moaning.

Just after dinner, a maid walked in.

"Master said that Ding Youren is back, do you two want to meet?"

Ji Su Niang nodded: "Please wait a moment."

She turned around and took the small box containing the recipes in her hand from the back room.

Ding Youren is Lord Ding's adjutant, a son of the family, and later made meritorious service on the battlefield and was promoted to adjutant. As for how he got on line with Master Ji, you will understand after seeing him in a while.

Xiaotuanzi jumped onto Qiuli's shoulder steadily, and the maid led the way. She took Ji Suniang's hand and followed the maid towards the study in the outer courtyard.

In the study room, apart from Ding Baozhen, there were also the master and Wang Demao, but no one spoke. Ding Baozhen was writing something at his desk.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, "Master, the eldest lady and the second lady have arrived."

Wang Demao was taken aback, when did a newcomer appear in the Ding Mansion?
"Come in." Ding Baozhen put down the brush in his hand and looked up at the door.

The door opened from the outside with a "squeak", Qiu Li let go of Ji Su Niang's hand, and the two walked in one after the other.

Wang Demao glanced at Qiuli, his heart was shocked, and he quickly looked away.

"Come here, lady, this is Ding Youren you are looking for." Ding Baozhen stood up, smiled and introduced to Wang Demao who was beside him.

Ji Su Niang took a step forward: "Hello, Uncle Ding, I don't know if you have heard of the Ji family in Junye County?"

Wang Demao's eyes froze. He searched his mind for the memories of Ji's family, but found nothing. He looked at Ji Suniang and asked, "But the boss of Caixianglou?"

Qiuli was taken aback after hearing his answer.

This tone didn't sound like a close friend of Master Ji's, but rather unfamiliar.

As soon as Wang Demao said it, he realized that it was wrong, but now he can only make mistakes, "I also went to Junye County to perform official duties a few years ago, so I only had contact with Master Ji."

Ji Suniang glanced at Wang Demao, then lowered her head and said, "I...so, I'm fine."

Wang Demao chose Ding Youren by mistake. He was performing official duties at the pier, and happened to be bumped into by Ding Youren who hurried back.

After killing Ding Youren, he read part of his memory, only to find out that he was from Ding's residence, so he used his face to enter Ding's residence pretending to be Ding Youren.

The game's prompt keywords include the name "Ding Baozhen", and this person must also be a key character.

He guessed right, but he didn't expect that Ding Youren was also related to Ji's family.

After going through all these ordeals, Ji Su Niang became more cautious towards people.

After testing, it was found that the other party really had a problem.

Wang Demao vaguely felt that he had missed something, and stood there frowning slightly.

"Adjutant Ding, you go back first, I will give you two days off, and you should spend time with your wife and children."

Ding Baozhen said gently.

"Thank you, my lord, and I will take my leave." Wang Demao saluted and strode out of the study.

The master stared at his leaving back, and looked away after a while.

"Miss Ji, do you see something wrong?" the master asked.

"Indeed..." Ji Su Niang raised her head, looked at the master and said, "Actually, I met him once before."

"It was at the family banquet. He was exiled to Junye County in the early years. It was my father who saved him. Afterwards, to avoid suspicion, there were not many contacts. It was probably the year before last. When he went to Junye County, I was there at the dinner party, but..."

The master stroked a strand of beard on his chin and said, "But this time he doesn't seem to know you... What if he deliberately pretended not to know you to avoid suspicion?"

Ding Baozhen shook his head, "He told me about his acquaintance with Master Ji early in the morning. Youren is my adjutant, and he will report to me regardless of the details."

He turned to look at the master and said, "Sit down, they are also parties."

"Yes." Master hurriedly closed the door of the study.

Several people sat down on the master chairs in the study.

There is an incense burner not far away, exuding a touch of sandalwood.

"Junye County is gone." The master sighed and said, "Last night, the river embankment burst again, and there were no survivors in the entire Junye County."

Ji Su Niang looked sideways at Qiu Li, both of them showed suspicion.

"Impossible, when we left yesterday, the water had clearly receded!" Ji Su Niang asked back with a trembling voice.

"As early as a few years ago, I received a prophecy." The master said.

"The county's business disappears, the world is in chaos, yin and yang are chaotic, and life and death are in a dilemma."

"This is a motto secretly given by the previous Patriarch, a good friend of the Tiansi Supervisor in the early years, an adult."

"So, since the flood, we have sent a lot of spies in Junye County."

Qiuli asked: "Even if it's a flood, there's no reason why the entire county didn't escape?"

"There is already a vast ocean, and even the back mountain has disappeared."

Master shook his head and said, "Even if someone survives and floats in the water without food or drink, it won't last long."

Everyone in the study became silent. No matter how you look at this matter, there is something wrong.

Ji Su Niang gritted her teeth, stood up from the teacher's chair, and handed over the small rosewood box in her hand.

"Master Ding, this is the recipe of my Ji family. The little girl can't keep it. I want to dedicate it to you. Please accept it."

As soon as the words fell, there was a crisp sound of tree branches snapping at the window of the study.
