Chapter 21: Running out of hot pot
It means to teleport you to a certain time and place at will. It is what you mortals call 'crossing'. Jade Rabbit Meimei further explained.
"MyGod!" Lin Xiaojin's brain is really insufficient, and the amount of information is too much.
Jade Rabbit Meimei patiently explained: "Yes, it is to teleport you to a certain past era, a certain place you have never been to, and then you give me an hour to earn a dollar." After an hour, you'll be automatically teleported back.
"Besides, it's ten o'clock in the evening, and when you teleport back after you've been on another plane for a full hour, it's still ten o'clock in the evening. ”
Lin Xiaojin completely understood this time, and completely lost to the fairy beauty in front of him. However, since he has the skill of "unforgettable" and the skill of "King of a Thousand Kings", his imagination has also become richer. No matter how thunderous he is, he can accept it.
Seeing that Lin Xiaojin didn't speak, Jade Rabbit Meimei continued: "Also, you must remember that Grandpa Fortune is to see if you have the ability to 'earn' a dollar, not to 'beg' a dollar from someone, let alone steal or rob it." Of course, you can't cheat. It must be because you did something for someone else, and someone else volunteered to give it to you, understand?"
Lin Xiaojin nodded and said, "Understood." This is in line with Lin Xiaojin's personality, not to mention being cheated and abducted, it is the money that people give away for nothing, and he feels hot when he takes it. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this quality of him that the God of Wealth takes a fancy to him and wants to choose him as his correspondent.
"In addition", Yutu Meimei said solemnly: "Lin Xiaojin, I'm not joking with you, if you give up the assessment, or fail in a certain assessment in the future, then not only will you no longer have the qualifications to be a 'God of Wealth Commissioner', but even all the skills you have obtained before will be erased." You're going to go back to where you are and be a normal person again. ”
"It's too much!" Lin Xiaojin blurted out, and his heart suddenly turned cold. He never expected that the skills he possessed were only temporary, and they could be withdrawn at any time.
Like a manager on probation, the company arranged a high-end apartment for him, gave him an Apple iPhone, a luxury car, and equipped him with a beautiful female secretary. But as long as the probationary period is not qualified, then, the Apple iPhone, the luxury car, and the beautiful female secretary will all be taken back. And this manager can only move out of the apartment, roll up and get out.
The Jade Rabbit eyebrows' eyes were full of encouragement, and she said softly: "How is it, are you ready, can you perform the first assessment?"
Although Lin Xiaojin didn't know what it meant to him to be teleported to the time and space of the past, he couldn't stop changing his fate now.
He couldn't help but think of his parents' hard work, the eyes of his classmates who looked down on him, and his unlucky appearance of everything that didn't go well, so he nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I'm ready, let's start." ”
Jade Rabbit's eyebrows' voice became softer: "Close your eyes...... Eliminate all distractions......"
Lin Xiaojin obediently closed his eyes. Slowly, he felt one of the slender jade hands of the Jade Rabbit Meimei touching the top of his head, there was an indescribable warmth and softness, and there was a faint body fragrance of a girl. He immediately felt very comfortable, and very sleepy, and fell asleep in an instant, and he fell asleep standing up.
In his sleep, he felt like he was stepping on white clouds, fluttering, and he didn't know when he was or where he was. It's like it's in the sky, and it's like it's in the water. ……
Finally the white clouds faded away, and he felt his feet on a solid piece of ground, and he woke up.
He tried to slowly open his eyes, and what he saw was a white floor tile. If you look closely, the floor tiles are the kind of small floor tiles that are 5 cm by 5 cm, like those used in the kitchen, and there is oil on them. Before Lin Xiaojin could raise his head, he smelled a choking smell of barbecue and a strong smell of chili peppers.
His eyes that had just opened were resmoked and couldn't be opened. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and before he could open them again, a choking smell of fried chili peppers quickly penetrated his nostrils, and his nose itched, and he immediately sneezed three or four times in a row.
"You're a guest, why did you come here?" Lin Xiaojin immediately heard someone asking, and that person was on the opposite side of the rising oil smoke, only two or three meters away from him. There is actually a cauldron between that person and Lin Xiaojin. A pot of peppercorns is boiling in boiling hot oil.
Before Lin Xiaojin could answer, he choked on the strong smell of chili oil and coughed again and again. He had to cover his nose and run outside. The man who had just spoken to him didn't pay any attention to him.
Running out of the door, Lin Xiaojin turned around and realized that he was really in a kitchen just now.
Because there's a big restaurant right outside the door. The dining room was full of guests. Moreover, these tables all appear to be steaming. Lin Xiaojin looked at it, and it turned out that there was a king-size hot pot on every table. Lin Xiaojin is not unfamiliar with this scene, it is clearly a hot pot restaurant.
In order to confirm his thoughts, he walked out of the hot pot restaurant, and when he looked up, there was an antique plaque hanging on the door, with a row of large gold lacquer characters written on it - "Qingzhong Ma Bald Hot Pot". Walking into the hot pot restaurant again, Lin Xiaojin looked up and saw a clock hanging in the lobby, and the time displayed on the bell was half past eleven.
The owner of this shop probably believes in fortune-telling calendars and other things, so on the wall next to the clock, there is a large yellow calendar. It's the kind of thick book with the lunar calendar, the solar calendar, and the day of the week written on every page, and under these things are written "It is not suitable to break ground, it is appropriate to marry" and so on. This yellow calendar book tells Lin Xiaojin that today is July 8, 1993.
Lin Xiaojin immediately thought of the purpose of his trip - he had to earn a full dollar, and within an hour. In other words, Lin Xiaojin wanted to earn a dollar in an hour at a Qingzhong hot pot restaurant at noon on July 8, 1993.
This task seemed quite simple, but soon, Lin Xiaojin realized that in fact, this task was too difficult.
He first remembered the requirements of the Jade Rabbit Meimei: he can't steal or rob, he can't be abducted, and the most important thing is that he can't rely on "begging". Lin Xiaojin was dumbfounded. If you don't steal, rob, or cheat, you should do it, but if you don't "beg," do you rely on picking it up? Lin Xiaojin remembered the words of the Jade Rabbit Meimei, and it seemed that it was not possible to "pick up."
