Chapter Twenty-Four: Grandfathers and Grandsons Talk About Ghosts and Gods

The next day, Lin Mo went to Shiweitian after breakfast, and Liu Kui and Zhao En were already busy.

In fact, Liu Kui is mainly learning to cook a few Yangzhou dishes here, so that he can continue to use Yangzhou dishes to attract guests after Zhao En and his wife leave.

Originally, Lin Mo planned to invite a cook directly, but Zhao En and Liu Kui felt that it was not convenient to invite a cook, and the cooks who could cook Yangzhou cuisine were basically in a big restaurant in a big place like Yunzhou, and such a small place could not invite such a chef at all.

If you teach others to cook, if others learn to leave, this is a loss to your wife and a soldier.

So for the time being, it is safest to let Liu Kui learn by himself and then become a cook part-time, Liu Kui also agrees very much, after all, the salary that Lin Mo gave him is not to say that it is to cook or arrange more work. Seeing that Liu Kui was so insistent, Lin Mo had no choice but to agree.

Just when a few people were busy, a shadow appeared in front of the tavern, Lin Mo saw that it was Liu Xin'er, Liu Kui saw his daughter coming over and hurriedly stepped forward and asked why she came here, Liu Xin'er grinned and said:

I'm about to go back to Qiannan, come over to see how Shopkeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Lin are doing. After speaking, the corner of his eyes deliberately swept Lin Mo.

Saying this, Lin Mo was suddenly a little embarrassed, after all, he looked like a shopkeeper like this.

Looking at Liu Xin'er's teasing, Lin Mo's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, these days Lin Mo has been worried that Liu Xin'er will not be able to get rid of the shadow of her mother's death, but now it seems that it is much better than she imagined, Liu Xin'er is much stronger than she imagined.

Liu Xin'er looked around, then said goodbye to Lin Mo, got into a carriage, and went to Qiannan.

Liu Kui looked at Liu Xin'er's distant back, and his eyes revealed a little loneliness, after all, he didn't know when he would be able to meet this time. Lin Mo understood Liu Kui very well, stepped forward and patted Liu Kui on the shoulder,

comforted: "Chen Nan is not far away, and there are many opportunities to meet." Now these are all two shifts, and in the future, Shopkeeper Liu, you hire a few more people to do three or four shifts, and take a day or two off from time to time, and then you will have time to see Xin'er. He laughed.

Liu Kui shook his head helplessly when he heard Lin Mo's idea, and smiled bitterly.

At this time, Zhao En also interjected: "Xin'er, this girl is beautiful and filial, she is a rare good girl, I will definitely take the dowry to propose marriage ten years back." ”

"What are you talking nonsense? How old are the children, and it's a shame to be so disrespectful to the old. ”

Sister-in-law Zhao said solemnly beside her, but there was no displeasure in her tone.

Sister-in-law Zhao continued: "Uncle Liu, if you are reluctant to Xin'er, find him a good family close to him or in this town to marry." You are frightened in this way. ”

Then he looked at Lin Mo's eyes with a hint of a smile, and said, "I think our little Mo people are good, handsome, self-motivated, the key is filial piety." As far as I know, Xiao Mo is now at the age when he should get married, and no one has said kiss, Uncle Liu, you see this is a ready-made son-in-law who rides the dragon! ”

Lin Mo had an embarrassed expression on his face when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law Zhao, you don't want me to make fun of Xin'er, I'll go and see what the guests want?" With that, he turned and walked away.

Zhao En, his wife and Liu Kui all laughed happily, and the gloom in Liu Kui's heart was also swept away, and his mood was much better. Watching Lin Mo busy

Liu Kui was thoughtful in the back.

Several people were busy until the afternoon, and when they saw that there were no guests, Lin Mo left. In fact, the tavern didn't need so many people, Zhao En and his wife plus a few guys were enough, but in order to let Liu Kui get familiar with the management of the tavern as soon as possible and let Liu Kui learn new dishes as soon as possible, a few people have been taking care of them here.

Liu Kui was originally able to cook, coupled with Zhao En's guidance, he has made rapid progress in the past two days, and he has been able to make the dishes taught by Zhao En decently, although the heat is still poor, but after all, Zhao En is a professional cook, Liu Kui, who is already a halfway monk, is already very good, and I believe it will not take long to be able to go out alone.

After returning home, it was still early to see the time, and took this opportunity Lin Mo had a short chat with his grandfather's parents, and Lin Mo processed some interesting anecdotes from his previous life and told them to his grandfather, which made his grandfather very happy.

Grandpa talked about some of the strange things he had seen before, and Lin Mo was stunned.

Grandpa, as the mourner, often deals with the dead, and has experienced all kinds of strange things like gods and ghosts, and he really listens to Lin Mo's confusion, just like a storyteller.

For example, grandpa said that more than 20 years ago, when Lin Moqing's grandfather had not yet come to Jiangjun Town, a strange thing happened that a big family surnamed Li in the town disappeared overnight, and there was not even a living creature in the house.

This incident caused a sensation in the entire Qiannan County at that time, after all, the mysterious disappearance of more than 20 members of a family was a big case. The county order and even the Yunzhou Mansion sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find a single reason, and in the end, it was over.

But there have always been rumors in the town that it is a ghost who is a haunter, and some people have even seen a group of black-clothed ghosts flying from the sky to Li's house at night, and the Li family all disappeared the next day. "Devil for your life?" Although Lin Mo was very surprised when he heard it, he was noncommittal, after all, as a former socialist successor, he resolutely did not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods.

The Li family that grandpa said has seen it himself Just on the side of the road in the town, although it has long been uninhabited and dilapidated, it is definitely the first in the town in terms of scale. I didn't expect such a bizarre story.

Seeing Lin Mo's disbelieving appearance, Grandpa stroked his beard and said solemnly: "Xiao Mo, there are gods three feet above your head, although few people have seen gods, but you can't believe the words of ghosts and gods, if you don't respect them, you will likely be punished." Lin Mo nodded seriously, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

Grandpa knew that Lin Mo would definitely not believe this statement, so he sighed and said

"I saw that scene with my own eyes, it was very late that night, the dark clouds were closed, I was drinking some wine, walking alone on the street, and a group of ghosts in black robes suddenly flew into Li's house from the sky. At that time, he continued to drink strongly, and the wine was so strong that he looked inside the crack of the door, and found that the ghosts were everywhere, whether they were people or other living creatures, and they fell directly to the ground. I was startled, and I woke up from the wine, so I hurried home and hid, I didn't fall asleep, and when I woke up the next day and inquired in the town, I found that the Li family had no living creatures. ”

Grandpa continued: "I thought about it later, it should be really a terrible ghost asking for my life, and I took away all the three souls and seven spirits of the Li family, so you must not be disrespectful to the ghosts and gods, you know?" ”

Although Lin Mo still didn't believe it, he no longer defended, and nodded heavily, and his grandfather stroked his beard with satisfaction and continued to talk to Lin Mo about other strange things.

The next day, Lin Mo was not in a hurry to go to the tavern, first accompanied his grandfather to fight for a while, and then made breakfast, after the grandfather and grandson ate breakfast together, grandpa went to another place to mourn, and Lin Mo continued to tinker at home.

Lin Mo originally wanted his grandfather to stay at home with peace of mind, he could earn money, and his grandfather didn't have to work anymore. But grandpa can't be idle, and always wants to find something to do for himself.

Lin Mo wanted his grandfather to go to the tavern to be the shopkeeper, but his grandfather felt that it was not suitable to stay there, and he couldn't adapt to it, so he resolutely refused.

In fact, Lin Mo knew that his grandfather was afraid that his current identity as the owner would bring bad luck to the store.

Although Lin Mo didn't mind, the neighbors in the town must have opinions, which would affect the tavern's business.

Of course, Lin Mo also wanted to find something else for his grandfather to do, including opening a shop that sells paper money and spiritual instruments, but his grandfather refused, after all, he had been engaged in losing his master for most of his life, and he was not used to doing other things, so Lin Mo had no choice but to go with his grandfather.

But Lin Mo didn't allow his grandfather to run so far and take on so many jobs, so his grandfather had to agree, after all, Lin Mo was no longer the child who needed to take care of himself.

Lin Mo was in the house for a long time, and finally it was done, looking at the things in his hand Lin Mo smiled with satisfaction, yes, Lin Mo was holding a brand-new toothbrush in his hand.

The original one was accidentally broken by Lin Mo, and this time he made a brand-new toothbrush with carefully polished wood, and then matched it with a mane of the same length, and made a toothbrush version 2.0. Coupled with a small amount of green salt, it completely solves the problem of brushing your teeth.

After all this, Lin Mo went to the tavern to check the situation, and Lin Mo could see Liu Kui's busy figure from a distance. When I took a closer look, I found that except for Liu Kui and a few guys, Zhao En and his wife were not there.

Liu Kui looked at Lin Mo's somewhat puzzled expression, and explained that he wanted to try to see if he could really handle the big and small things in the tavern alone, so he told Zhao En not to come today.

Lin Mo nodded when he heard this, watching Liu Kui deal with the affairs of the store in an orderly manner, and also went to the kitchen to stir-fry from time to time, thinking that it was a little unexpected that Liu Kui could get started so quickly, and Lin Mo did not disturb Liu Kui to sit in the tavern.

In this way, Lin Mo waited until there were no more guests, and Liu Kui finally rested before he stepped forward to chat with Liu Kui.

Lin Mo asked directly to the point, "Uncle Liu, how do you feel?"

Liu Kui smiled: "It's not bad, I didn't expect that there would be a time to open a tavern." ”

The two laughed, and at this time, Zhao En's family also came over, several people sat together, and Lin Mo told him some of his future arrangements.

"Brother Zhao and Uncle Liu, I will return to Qiannan tomorrow morning, at most it will only be two or three days, and it will be arranged over there, then Brother Zhao and his sister-in-law can go over, and Xiao Heng will also go over, Xiao Heng's private school I already have a plan in my heart, and I will not delay Xiao Heng's major event of studying."

Zhao En and the others hurriedly got up to express their gratitude to Lin Mo, but Lin Mo just waved his hand and motioned for a few people not to see outside.

And said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you continue to be the shopkeeper, Sister-in-law Zhao continues to manage the accounts, and I am the shopkeeper, you have done the work, and I have to thank you." ”

After saying that, Lin Mo made a gesture to thank Zhao En, but Zhao En quickly helped Lin Mo up, and several people looked at each other and smiled.
