Chapter 2: Killing

Enter the restaurant.

The front hall is not large, except for the freezer and cashier, there are only six sets of tables and chairs.

The trash can was stuffed with napkins, and brooms and mops were scattered on the ground, looking like they were preparing to clean up.

There was a rough friction sound in the kitchen, and someone was probably sharpening the knife.

Li Can found an empty seat and sat down and waited.

"The few thousand dollars in the card cannot support me in spending time finding a satisfactory job. Instead of being aimless, it is better to try here first. Besides, the 'food and accommodation' is indeed very suitable for the current situation."

I picked up the menu boredly, and there were dozens of familiar dishes on it.

"From the names of these dishes, the restaurant is not of high quality, and even if I have both hands injured, I am competent."

Li Can is not worried about whether he can apply for the job.

"Is there anything wrong?"

With a steady sound, a middle-aged man wearing an apron and tall man walked out of the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife with a sharpened edge in his hand.

If an ordinary person is, he will inevitably feel scared when he sees this image, but Li Can is different. As a top chef, he has an innate sense of intimacy towards kitchen knives.

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a chef." Li Can explained his purpose.

“Apply for a job?”

"Yes." Li Can was a little surprised, "I came in after seeing the job advertisement."

The middle-aged man slapped his head and smiled, "Oh, sorry, I was too busy just now and forgot about this for a while.

Li Can expressed understanding.

"Oh, why are you still carrying a big bag?" The middle-aged man pointed at the luggage beside Li Can.

Li Can said against his will: "To be honest, I just arrived at the Cherry Blossom Area today, and it was full of my clothes."

"Don't mind, I'm just curious to ask."

"I see."

The middle-aged man bent down and picked up the cleaning tools on the ground, "I think you are only in your early twenties and have not worked for a few years."

"I haven't had more than three years of work, but I am very confident in my cooking skills." Li Can said seriously.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man obviously didn't understand where Li Can's confidence came from and smiled very perfunctorily.

Crazy...

Crazy...

Li Can was waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, but the latter was fiddling with the roller shutter door.

The roller shutter door seems to have a malfunction and will automatically bounce when pressed.

"It should be that the spring inside is broken." Li Can kindly reminded.

"I think so." The middle-aged man sighed, "Forget it, since you are here to apply for a chef, it's useless to just say it, go to the kitchen to cook a dish and let me taste it."

"OK."

Li Can had no objection, and even felt that this should have been done, so he immediately stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

There is no door in the kitchen, only a gray cloth curtain covers it.

When he lifted the curtain, a strong smell of vinegar came to his face, and it seemed like aged vinegar was overturned. There were many irregular spots on the inside of the curtain, perhaps the oil stain accumulated over the years.

The kitchen area is only one-half of that of the front hall, and the light is dim. You can vaguely see the stove and the pool are connected to the wall in front. There is a cabinet for storing debris in the middle. The remaining space around is only enough for one person to pass through, which is very narrow.

The better the chef is, the higher the requirements for the kitchen, and Li Can is no exception. But now in a difficult situation, he can only force himself to adapt as soon as possible.

When I entered the kitchen, the floor was a little slippery.

Li Can glanced at the seasoning area briefly. The quantity and variety were not as large as the Royal Court, but it was just enough.

Click.

Open the freezer and store many ingredients, meat and vegetables.

"This beef tenderloin is quite fresh, and the scallions are good, so let's just stir-fry the beef." For Li Can, it doesn't matter what dish to cook, as long as it can show its skills.

The beef with scallion is simple to make, but it tests the chef's comprehensive control over the heat, ingredients and knife skills.

Too high heat can easily make the beef grow old;

It's too small and it's hard to expose the burnt fragrance of green onions.

It is difficult to achieve a perfect balance between the two.

Only Li Can is uncertain, with the strength of a middle-aged man, I don’t know if he can taste the essence of this dish, after all, his realm is too high.

I came to the pool with beef and shredded green onion. When I was about to put water and wash vegetables, I suddenly felt a sticky feeling from my feet.

Due to the dim light, you can only see a pool of liquid on the ground.

Combined with the vinegar smell in the room, Li Can guessed that the liquid was probably vinegar.

"It seems that it's not vinegar, vinegar is not so sticky."

Repeat the foot and make sure the pulling force is very strong, as if it was sucked.

"No, there is another smell."

Li Can looked carefully and found that the liquid was flowing out of the storage cabinet.

I opened the locker and it was pitch black inside and I couldn't see anything.

Habitually take out your cell phone, turn on the lighting, and aim it at the locker to take a photo.

Damn it!!

In an instant, Li Can only feel blood flowing backwards, cardiac arrest, and his brain is blank!

There was actually a woman with long-haired eyes hiding in the cabinet!

Wait, something is wrong...

Li Can held the stove behind him with one hand to prevent slipping, and held the phone with the other hand to check carefully.

The woman's pupils were scattered, her eyes were congested, her face was as white as wax, and she was blemish.

A bloody smell mixed with the smell of vinegar spreads...

Li Can no longer think because this woman is clearly distinguished...

...It is clearly a corpse!

The female corpse's limbs were folded with the back in an incredible arc, the forefoot was missing, and the fractures were uneven, as if it was bitten.

What's even more terrifying is that she was actually stuffed into such a small cabinet!

Li Can was cold all over, and suddenly turned around, but hit a "wall".

No, that's not a wall, but a middle-aged man standing behind him at some point.

The other party held a kitchen knife in his hand, his eyes were cold and filled with oppression.

Li Can once felt death, so when he was really at the moment of life and death, he was extremely calm.

The brain is running rapidly...

The kitchen is too narrow and there is no escape route;

The other party is cruel by nature and there is no possibility of communication!

That's the case...

Li Can made a quick decision and took the opportunity to pick up the nearest soy sauce bottle, jumped up and slapped it on the middle-aged man's head.

Soy sauce splash.

However, the seemingly fierce attack only brought a sneer from the other party, and even the hair was not damaged.

Li Can's heart sank into the bottom of the valley. He was about to retreat and widen the distance, but something pulled his feet hard and he fell to the ground.

When I looked closely, it was a strip of arms as thick as an arm?!

Damn it!

This guy actually has a tail??

The scene in front of him exceeded Li Can's perception.

The middle-aged man grinned and showed a row of jagged teeth. His image was ferocious and he didn't talk nonsense. He raised his knife and slashed.

Li Can dodged left and right, seized the opportunity to grab the former's wrist, but failed to let the kitchen knife fall.

Unfortunately,

The old injury left by the car accident occurred.

His hands lost strength to the deflated ball.

The blade magnifies rapidly in the eyes...

"I'm not willing to accept it, I have too many things to do..."

Li Can's voice has not finished speaking yet.

Consciousness came to an abrupt end.
