It snowed heavily that day.

Tsing Yi carried a jar of coarse salt and sprinkled it with salt at the door of the inn.

Salt melts snow, and where salt is sprinkled, it is not easy to slip your feet.

"Now, you're a buddy from the Santuchuan Inn?"

Tsing Yi grabbed a handful of salt and was stunned for a moment, and before she could answer, the lovely voice continued: "I want to book a room." ”

A small yellow bird fluttered its wings and flew in front of Tsing Yi.

It looked like a fluffy ball of hairballs, with a long tail trailing behind it, flapping its little wings and flying through the air.

Tsing Yi looked at such a small ball of hairballs and only felt that her heart melted, she couldn't help but straighten up and stretched out her right hand to the little yellow bird.

It was the first time she had seen such a lovely guest.

The little bird stopped in Tsing Yi's palm without seeing it, and it even used its tender beak to sort out the fluff on its chest, and then cleared its throat and said, "The room must face south, so that the sun can shine through the window." There should also be fresh fruit and osmanthus stuffed ...... in the room."

"That ......," Tsing Yi interrupted the bird with some embarrassment, "Recently, the land has been covered by heavy snow, and I am afraid that fresh fruit cannot be supplied in the inn......"

"No fresh fruit?" The little yellow bird shook its wings in surprise when it heard this, and then it seemed to be annoyed that it turned a few times in Tsing Yi's palm, and its small paws stepped on Tsing Yi's intuitive palm itched, and finally it turned its head and blinked its black bean-like eyes to look at Tsing Yi and asked, "What about the osmanthus brew?" Isn't there any osmanthus stuff? ”

"There is a jar of osmanthus brewing." Tsing Yi tried to ignore the itching sensation in his palm, and said softly, "It's a new brew sent by Jiuzhuzi a while ago." ”

"Is the osmanthus brewed in the wine?" The little yellow bird fluttered its wings twice happily and chirped a few times, and then said happily, "Let's bring the fresh fruit ourselves, please let the little lady help us reserve a room first." ”

"Yes, okay." Tsing Yi felt more and more that this little bird was cute, and even spoke so politely, "So, what should the guest officer call him?" ”

"Just remember the featherman." The little yellow bird flew up again, circled around Tsing Yi, and did not forget to instruct again, "Don't forget that the room should face south." ”

After saying that, he shook the long tail feather, and flew away with a high-speed exhale that did not fit its round body.

Tsing Yi stared blankly at the direction where the little yellow bird disappeared, and couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart.

It's a pity that I'm not a bird, I don't have a pair of wings to fly if I want to.

After bowing his head and sighing, Tsing Yi hugged the salt jar and prepared to go back to reserve a room.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Hei Saburo holding his arms and staring at him thoughtfully.

His eyes were full of penetration, and Tsing Yi's heart was up and down.

"Hei Saburo ......" Tsing Yi's heart tightened, hugged the salt jar in his arms and said, "Are you hungry?" Do you want me to make you some cushions......

In Tsing Yi's heart, he unconsciously has a law: if Hei Saburo's eyes are wrong, it is right to serve food obediently.

Hei Saburo didn't say anything when he heard this, and after looking at Tsing Yi from head to toe for a while, he laughed as if he had confirmed something: "I saw a jar of shrimp in the kitchen, so I want that." ”

"But that shrimp was given to Orchid by Master Deadwood......" Tsing Yi couldn't help but hesitate a little when he saw that Hei Saburo chose the crystal shrimp when he opened his mouth.

The shrimp is crystal clear, and it looks like it makes people move their fingers, not to mention Hei Saburo, even Tsing Yi himself is very coveted. Sometimes when she fed peach petals to the crystal shrimp, she couldn't help but stare at the crystal shrimp in the jar and swallow quietly.

I don't know if that plate of puffer fish sashimi has aroused my appetite, but recently Tsing Yi has always wanted to eat raw food from time to time, and sometimes lying on the bed late at night, always feeling hungry in the stomach.

"Whatever the orchid does." Hei Saburo raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "I got a chicken when I turned around." If I don't see the shrimp later, you know the consequences. ”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and entered the inn.

The rest of Tsing Yi stood in the snow with a salt shaker in his arms.

Kurosaburo is certainly powerful, but Orchid is not a vegetarian either. Tsing Yi thinks that he knows more about Orchid, and if he is known by Orchid, he will not be able to escape the punishment!

But now the orchid is not there!

Before she could come up with any way, she saw Xiuxiu poking her head out from under the felt curtain: "Sister Tsing Yi, Brother San Lang asked you to come in quickly!" ”

Tsing Yi sighed when he heard this. Yuanshui can't save the near fire, so let's soothe Hei Saburo first and then talk about anything else.

"Sister Tsing Yi, aren't you cold?" Xiuxiu was so frozen by the ice and snow outside the inn that she stomped her feet hard, her nose was also red, she looked at Tsing Yi standing steadily in the snow with some trembling, very curious, "Xiuxiu is about to be frozen off her nose." ”

Tsing Yi subconsciously reached out and touched the white hosta on his head, and said with a slight smile: "It's not cold." ”

"That's amazing!" Xiuxiu looked at Tsing Yi with sparkling eyes and said, "Sister Tsing Yi, is it true that Xiuxiu will be as afraid of the cold as you and Sister Suxi when she grows up?" ”

Tsing Yi was stunned when he heard this.

She is not afraid of the cold because of the hosta of the orchid, Suxi is not afraid of the cold because she is already a ghost, Xiuxiu is an ordinary person in the end, and she is no different from a treasure......

"I'll talk about it when you're older." Tsing Yi restrained his thoughts and patted Xiuxiu's head gently, "Now go and give Su Xi a hand, but you are not allowed to break any utensils with your hands and feet." ”

Xiuxiu spit out her tongue naughtily when she heard this, and said embarrassedly: "Xiuxiu knows it's wrong!" Go now! ”

The crystal jar was crystal clear, with only the occasional slight ripple on the water.

Tsing Yi looked at the water tank and decided to keep most of it for Orchid. Hei Saburo just said that he wanted to eat shrimp, but he didn't say how much!

"Sure enough, live shrimp still have to be drunk shrimp!" Tsing Yi, who had figured it out, only felt that his heart was light, and he immediately only concentrated on thinking about how to cook these shrimps.

Tsing Yi took out some crystal shrimp and soaked them in clean water, although they are crystal clear and clean, but it is always safer to wash more. Luckily, they don't have long beards, otherwise they would have had to be trimmed.

Making zuò drunken shrimp is actually quite simple, and all condiments are common, but you need good wine to get drunk, rice wine, and Huadiao wine.

Because most of the good wine in the kitchen went into Master Gao's stomach, Tsing Yi had to go to the wine cellar to find good Huadiao wine.

The cellar was dark, and after sealing the jar with mud for all kinds of fine wines, most of the cellar was arranged.

Tsing Yi touched the flower carving near the exit, and remembered the osmanthus brewed by the little yellow bird, so he put down the flower carving and walked to the depths of the wine cellar.

Osmanthus brewing is made from the osmanthus of the Moon Palace and the mountain grapes of the West Mountain, which does not look like wine but is better than wine. The wine has a sweet taste and is smooth in the throat. It is said that this wine is very rare, so the orchid put it in the depths of the cellar to prevent Master Gao from getting drunk.

The wine cellar was located in a shady place, and it was very dry, which was convenient for storing wine, and Tsing Yi felt that the more she went inside, the darker her vision became, and in the haze she saw a large water tank that emitted a faint light.

"Stop! Don't come! A fierce voice suddenly came out, followed by a pain in the ankle, as if something had whipped itself hard.

Tsing Yi took two steps back, reaching out to touch his ankle while looking at what had hit him.

In the haze, I saw a half-human-tall cattail grass in the corner not far from the water tank, and its slender stems and leaves were constantly shaking.

"Thief! Get out of here! The grass was very fierce, not only did he slap Tsing Yi inexplicably, but he also scolded loudly there, "Otherwise, I will beat you to death!" ”

As he spoke, he also shook his slender leaves to show that he was not verbally scaring Tsing Yi.

Tsing Yi had to explain: "I'm not a thief, I'm a guy from the inn, and I'm just here to get the ...... of osmanthus stuffing."

"Shut up, what thief would say he's here to steal?" The grass tapped the ground a few times with its leaves, and continued to scold, "You must have come to steal the treasure!" Liars, thieves, don't blame me for being rude! ”

Tsing Yi was a little dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to rush forward to turn the osmanthus brew, so he limped out.

The ankle hurt tightly, Tsing Yi quickly sat down on the stool as soon as he got out of the wine cellar, and when he reached out to touch it, the piece of his ankle that was drawn was already swollen a finger high.

"The shrimp aren't ready yet?" Hei Saburo passed by with a plate of beef sauce, and saw that Tsing Yi didn't rush to the kitchen to cook shrimp, so he was a little unhappy, "I'm hungry, or are you too late to give me your arm to taste?" ”

"It's going to be done soon." Tsing Yi bit his lip and said aggrievedly, "I just went to the wine cellar to get some wine just now......

"What about the wine?" Hei Saburo saw that Tsing Yi's face was pale, as if he was enduring pain, and his figure appeared in front of Tsing Yi in a flash, and he grabbed Tsing Yi's ankle with his hand.

"Wine-ah-" Tsing Yi was unprepared to be scratched by Hei Saburo, and he let out a low cry of pain.

"Why are you so useless!" Hei Saburo let go of his hand with a look of disgust, "You can hurt in the inn!" ”

It's in this inn that you get hurt! In this weird inn where all youkai are monsters, isn't it weird if you don't get hurt?

Tsing Yi muttered in his heart, and then explained with a disgusted look from Hei Saburo: "There is a tall grass in the wine cellar, guarding the osmanthus brew and not letting it be taken, I was pumped without paying attention......"

"That's a doorguard, right?" Hei Saburo said thoughtfully, "Ten likely□□ it was deliberately planted by Orchid, and it is guarded, as long as anyone enters, they will be driven away and reprimanded. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Tsing Yi's wound again, and turned around and entered the wine cellar with a sigh.

But after a while, Hei Saburo came out with a wine jar, and he directly put the wine jar on the table and said, "Now that the wine has come out, why don't you go and make shrimp?" ”

Tsing Yi hugged the wine jar, looked at Hei Saburo with shining eyes and nodded violently: "Well, I'll do it right away, I'll go right away!" ”。
