Chen Xu was still alive, yet he was already being questioned by a group of ghosts about his "experiences before death".
His mind raced, but he only appeared slow-witted on the outside, speaking sluggishly:
"I, I was originally a cook. Because of my extraordinary culinary skills, I opened a restaurant in my hometown.
Folks from miles around said my dishes were the tastiest. I worked hard, and my business flourished.
I even developed a few secret recipes. The dishes made from these recipes could rival even those of the palace chefs.
At the time, there were noblemen from the capital who offered to buy my secret recipes, but naturally, I refused to sell.
They then offered to recommend me to the Imperial Kitchen as a Dietary Officer..."
At this point, Chen Xu deliberately paused.
The ghosts grew curious, and Old Ghost Cai, holding his head, urged, "Did you go? Hurry up and tell us!"
