Chapter 22: The Starving Ghost
Du Yun followed Chen Dahui to the back kitchen.
It was the order of dinner, and the kitchen was very busy, and those chefs saw Chen Dahui and said hello to him while not forgetting to fry the dishes.
The kitchen is spacious and bright, and the cleaning is very clean, which is not at all what Du Yun imagined.
"Little brother, are there any more questions?" Chen Dahui said.
"Where to put the seafood ingredients, take me to see. Du Yun was unwilling, he was sure that the seafood in this hotel was frozen, otherwise how could the meat quality be so bad.
"If you want to see it, come with me. ”
Chen Dahui pushed open a door, which was filled with fish tanks, and all kinds of fish and shrimp swam happily, as if they were in an aquarium.
"Little brother, the ingredients in our hotel are all fresh, and they are killed on order, and there is no dead fish and dead shrimp as you said, so wouldn't it be a smash of your own signboard." Chen Dahui said.
The facts were in front of him, but Du Yun could not accept it, he suspected that this was just a display room, confusing consumers and the food safety authority's inspection, and in one room, there must be a freezer full of unknown aged seafood.
"Is this your girl?" Du Yun asked suddenly.
Chen Dahui looked dazed: "Are you asking me? I'm not married yet." ”
Du Yun looked at the little girl who was only three or four years old squatting in the corner and said, "Why is there a little girl in this room?
Chen Dahui was a little panicked: "What little girl? This is a storage room, and outsiders are not allowed to come in." ”
Du Yun seemed to have found a clue, and walked up to pick up the little girl: "Mr. Chen can't be suddenly blind, can't you see such a big living person?"
Chen Dahui's back was cold: "Little brother, a five-percent discount is my bottom line, it's impossible for you to eat overlord meals, even if you scare me, it's useless, if you do this, I'll call the police." ”
"Ahhh ”
The little girl kicked her hands and feet, Du Yun had no choice but to put her on the ground, and Bai Fucheng floated in at some point: "That child is dead, it's a spirit." ”
"Dead?" Du Yun suddenly realized, his eyes fell on the little girl again, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that such a cute little girl." ”
The girl wore a double ponytail, her hair was black and bright, her skin was white and delicate, she raised her little head, and looked at Du Yun angrily with a pair of big watery eyes: "Big brother, why are you cursing people?
Bai Fucheng sighed: "It's a pity, his parents must be very sad." ”
As soon as she heard her parents, the little girl cried: "Woo!~ I got lost with my dad and mommy, I miss dad and mommy so much, big brother, can you take me to find mommy and dad." ”
Du Yun felt that his heart was pricked by a needle, touched the little girl's head and said, "I don't know what your name is." ”
"Baby Joe. The little girl changed her face faster than turning a book, and suddenly stopped crying, and said seriously with her big eyes: "Dad and Mommy said that I was their baby, so I was named Qiao Baobao." ”
Du Yun was speechless, this father and mother are also casual enough.
"Then do you remember where Mommy and Dad live?"
"I live in Lancheng, and my dad and mom are over there. ”
Du Yun raised his eyebrows, it turned out to be Lancheng, a neighboring province, and he didn't know how the little girl came to Jiangcheng.
"Baby, how did you get lost with your dad and mommy, and who brought you here to Jiangcheng?" Du Yun asked.
Qiao Baobao blinked his eyes and said: "There was an aunt in the park who gave me a lollipop and said to take me to a fun place, and then I got into the car, and the car drove far and wide, and then the police came, and the aunt threw me into the garbage bin on the side of the road, and I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I couldn't find my dad and mommy." ”
Du Yun already understood that Qiao Baobao was abducted and trafficked, and as a result, the trafficking gang temporarily threw her away when they encountered the police, which finally led to Qiao Baobao's death.
"Baby, there is something you may not be able to accept, but my brother must tell you that you are dead. Du Yun sighed.
Qiao Baobao cried loudly "Wow": "Woo! Big brother is a bad person! Why do you curse the baby to die, the baby is so cute, the baby doesn't want to die, if you die, you won't see your dad and mommy." ”
Du Yun has seen too many ghosts since he was struck by lightning and obtained the Yin and Yang Eyes, and even a murderous evil spirit like Chen Kun was taken away by him, but at this time, Du Yun was helpless in the face of the little ghost boy who was only three and a half years old in front of him.
"Little brother, this baby doesn't know that she's dead, don't talk about it yet, she won't be able to accept it for a while. Bai Fucheng said.
Du Yun nodded, put on a smile and said, "Baby, why are you staying here?"
Qiao Baobao wiped away his tears and glared at Du Yun angrily: "I'm hungry! ”
Du Yun raised his eyebrows: "Eat, what is there to eat here?"
Qiao Baobao's emotions suddenly became excited: "Big brother, can't you see? This room is full of seafood, and the baby likes to eat seafood the most." ”
Du Yun looked at the living creatures swimming around in the fish tank, and had a complicated mood: "Baby, the seafood here is all alive, do you want to eat it raw?"
Qiao Baobao showed a disgusted little look: "Big brother, are you stupid, food can't be eaten raw." ”
Du Yun rolled his eyes, of course he knew that he couldn't eat it raw.
Qiao Baobao continued: "I'm eating their aura, it's delicious, big brother, do you want to taste it?"
Since stepping into the first level of psychic realm, Du Yun can not only stimulate the aura, but also keenly feel the aura. Reiki can be said to be everywhere, pigs, dogs, cows and sheep, flowers and trees, there is aura on the body, and even some stones and soil contain a trace of aura.
For spirits, absorbing aura can improve cultivation, but no spirit will break through by devouring the very little aura in the body of fish and shrimp, because the concentration of aura in the air is higher than that in the body of organisms such as fish and shrimp, so it is not as good as sitting under a big tree and breathing faster.
So Du Yun and Bai Fucheng got the same answer, the little girl was starved to death.
"Little brother, have you made enough trouble? I'm really going to call the police if you're like this. Chen Dahui was frightened, what did the young man in front of him mean by talking to himself all the time?
After figuring out the cause of Qiao Baobao's death, Du Yun naturally understood the reason why the hotel dishes were unpalatable, the aura in the body of these seafood was sucked dry by Qiao Baobao, like a puppet that had been drained of his soul, lifeless spirituality at all, and the meat became tasteless, and even a little rancid.
"Mr. Chen, do you remember what I said before that I was Bai Fucheng's little nephew?" Du Yun said.
Chen Dahui nodded: "I remember, Mr. Bai owed me four thousand eight wages at the beginning, didn't it count it on your head." ”
Du Yun rolled his eyes: "My focus is not this, you hugged me when I was a child, do you believe me as a person?"
Chen Dahui was asked: "What do you want to say?"
"Your hotel has ghosts. ”
"Stinky boy! I've put up with you for a long time, why do you come here to eat if you don't have money, and you want to eat overlord meals? Don't scare me with ghosts or gods, it's not a feudal and superstitious society now, do you think I'll believe it?" Chen Dahui's emotions suddenly became very excited.
Du Yun had already made preparations, and said in a flat tone: "Mr. Chen, you really disappointed me! If it weren't for the fact that you drove a car for Bai Fucheng and hugged me back then, I wouldn't have bothered to care about your......
"Your hotel has been complained by customers lately, saying that the food in the hotel is not delicious. ”
"Did you fire a few chefs, but it still didn't change the problem of unpalatable dishes. ”
"Do you want to know why the food is so bad?"
Chen Dahui's expression changed, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "Why?"
"It's because there's a ghost in the hotel, and it's still a starving ghost. Du Yun said seriously: "That starving ghost doesn't know that she is dead, she eats the aura of living things, which causes the taste of the ingredients to deteriorate, even if you change another hundred chefs, it is useless, it is not the chef's problem at all, but the problem of the ingredients." ”
Chen Dahui's face was full of suspicion, and he didn't quite believe Du Yun's words.
"Where's the starving ghost?"
"It's in this room. ”
"Then why can't I see it?" Chen Dahui frowned.
"Because man does not see ghosts. Du Yun said.
"Aren't you human? Why can you see?"
"I'm human, but I'm special, and if you believe I'm going to see hell, you're right. ”
Du Yun spent a long time talking, thinking that Chen Dahui should believe him, but saw the latter take out his mobile phone and say: "I hate you people who eat overlord meals and pretend to be ghosts." ”
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, don't call the police, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, I can prove it to you. Du Yun said urgently.
Chen Dahui looked at Du Yun hesitantly: "How to prove it?"
"It's very simple! I pick the ingredients by myself, and you let the chef do it, and some of the ingredients are delicious, and some of the ingredients are made with the same wax. ”
"Okay! You can choose the ingredients now. Chen Dahui still doesn't believe in Du Yun, but it doesn't hurt to try, after all, this is related to the business of the hotel, if you can't find the reason for the unpalatable dishes, the Dorsett Hotel will close sooner or later.
Du Yun stood in front of the fish tank, calmed down to feel the aura in the bodies of those fish and shrimp, and finally caught two Australian lobsters, one of which was eaten by Qiao Baobao, and the other was not eaten yet.
"Two Australian lobsters from the same origin, you let the same chef make them, I guarantee the taste is very different. Du Yun said while holding a big lobster in one hand.
Chen Dahui immediately ordered to send the best first-class chef of the hotel to the battle, and the chef didn't understand what the situation was, and thought that Mr. Chen was going to entertain distinguished guests, so the two Australian lobsters were very attentive to do it.
Twenty minutes later, two plates of braised lobster are out of the pan.
Du Yun walked one of the plates, broke open the crab claws and took a bite: "Well, this is what people eat." ”
Then he looked at Chen Dahui and said, "Mr. Chen, that's just yours, you taste it." ”
