early morning

Xiao Xue, who came to breakfast, pulled Xiao Ai to push open the door of the tea cat's house, and screamed with vitality.

"Good morning, boss!"

Leng Rudao, who ran in the morning, followed closely behind, and at a glance, he saw Xu Fan sitting on a stool frowning.

Looking at the empty dining table, Xu Fan, who was as cold as a knife, took the cigarettes handed over.

"What's going on? Ah Li went bankrupt last night? ”

Xu Fan extinguished the cigarette butt.

"The watermelon is missing."

Xiaoxue pulled away from her chair with a disappointed expression.

"Huh? And what about breakfast? ”

Xu Fan sighed.

"Forget about breakfast, I'll look for him with the water mirror technique in a while, it just so happens that Ah Li is also there, let's have a simple meeting, I have something to talk about."

Xu Fan snapped his fingers, hugged Ding Ning, Ah Li, and Chu Xiyao, who were sleeping under the quilt, and floated down the stairs.

One person's brain collapsed, and three screams were screamed.

Xu Fan pointed to the stool and lit a cigarette.

"Okay, the people are almost there, although the watermelon is not there, but the watermelon I want to say also knows, in fact, I should have said it last night, but considering that it was too late, Xiaoxue and Xiaoai still had to go home, so moved to this morning and said... To put it simply, our tea cat home is in a big crisis! Knives, you tell them. ”

Everyone swallowed and looked at each other with uneasy expressions.

Leng Rudao took out a small notebook from his arms and coughed lightly.

"Tea Cat House Cafe, this month's turnover is 137280..."

Ding Ning scratched his head.

"What?"

Leng Rudao glanced at Ding Ning.

"Counting the cost of water and electricity, winter heating costs, property fees, depreciation costs, compensation fees, food ingredients, etc., etc., is 1,437,274.5 yuan, in other words, there is no salary to pay this month, and we are about to go bankrupt."

Xiao Ai, who has always been troubled by money, slapped the table with round eyes.

"What?! Does it mean that wages are no longer paid? The old lady did it for nothing?! “

Ding Ning also jumped up.

"I don't get paid for the first month I work?!"

Xiaoxue's eyes widened.

"Impossible! You are forcing the angry snow to set off a revolution! ”

Chu Xiyao, who was dozing, burst with snot bubbles.

"Miss Ben's hard work, how can you bully people!"

Ah Li brushed and pulled out the Jewel Sword.

"Cold as a knife, you make it clear to my mother, this is our hard work, and you don't even pay your salary?!"

Leng was like a knife, and glanced at Ah Li coldly.

"Does the hard work of someone who skips work for six days a week have anything to do with you?"

Xu Fan pulled Ah Li's ponytail, picked off Ah Li's mask, and flicked it down at the snow-white forehead.

"Do you know why the cost is so high? Yes? Thanks to you working six days a week, if you come to eat every day, I can't afford to support you!! ”

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Leng Rudao snorted coldly.

"Also, Silly Fork Snow, a total of thirteen guests have been disabled this month, where do you think the compensation money came from!?"

"Ah, that's, that's not them looking at Xiao Ai with squinting eyes, innocent Xuecai..."

"And shemales, you are the one who often forgets to collect money from guests!"

"Uh..."

"Chu Xiyao! I've been dozing off all the time, and I've made the wrong account when I collect the money! ”

"Hmm... Miss Ben is not good at math..."

Leng Rudao finally looked at Xiao Ai, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of what reason to prevaricate her.

"Hmm... You? You're out of luck... Well. ”

"Huh?!"

Xiao Phantom squatted on the ground aggrievedly and muttered, "Did you forget Xiao Phantom again?" Originally, there was no small fantasy in the salary..."

Xu Fan sighed.

"All in all, our tea cat family is beyond our means, and we are about to run out of water, and Ah Li, we ate up our last rations last night..."

Ding Ning hurriedly raised his hand.

"Boss! Didn't you say that a little beep is worth 100,000 yuan? Let's change some emergency relief! ”

Xu Fan rubbed his eyebrows and spit out a smoke ring.

"The last meeting of the Ten Palaces, Ah Li beat up seven Hades, and they jointly sealed our accounts, so for the time being, we can't log in to the dark trading platform, and we can't trade cause and effect points at all."

"Ten halls? Yan? Dark trading platform? What are those things? ”

Ding Ning looked at Xu Fan stupidly, watermelon was not around, he didn't understand these familiar and unfamiliar words at all.

"Our Tea Cat House is not the only control organization in the infinite world, in addition to us, there are nine mysterious and powerful organizations that perform their own orders and maintain the normal operation of the heavens, which is basically the same as the ten halls of folklore Yama, but our power is greater and our responsibilities are broader, counting our Tea Cat House, these ten organizations are collectively called the Ten Palaces, and the mastermind of each hall is called Hades."

"But didn't you say that there are only seven Wish Cards in the Endless World?"

"That's right, there are only seven prayer cards, our tea cat home is the most special among the ten halls, the other Yama halls are ordered to reincarnate life and death, the heavens are running, the heavenly way is maintained, the punishment is judged, etc., etc., and the division of our tea cat home is to reward the good and punish the evil, and later because of a certain man, he brought seven prayer cards, and the main work of our tea cat house is biased towards realizing the dreams of others and responding to the prayers of good people..."

Leng Rudao couldn't help but answer: "It's just to help others pretend to beep." ”

Xu Fan rolled his eyes and continued: "Let's not mention this, the dark trading platform is set up in the first palace of the ten halls, the Qin King Palace, well, it is basically the same as the Taobao network you use, you can buy or consign all kinds of props and magic weapons on it, the currency is the cause and effect point, that is, the beep number you said, most of the things in the infinite world can be exchanged on it, but unfortunately, our tea cat house is blacklisted, and the ten halls do not recognize our status." ”

Ding Ning nodded, his face full of excitement.

"I see, we are so big! Yan! What a handsome feeling! The Three Qing Dao Ancestors, where is the Heavenly Court? ”

Xu Fan extinguished the cigarette butt.

"There is still a big deviation between myth and reality, the Ten Halls are the highest organization of the Infinite World, there are no Three Qing Dao Ancestors and Heavenly Court above, but there are immortal realms and gods in the various worlds we manage, of course, those who exist are not much contact with us, we mainly establish contacts with the Heavenly Dao consciousness of each world, that is, Gaia, but Ah Li has almost offended Gaia in each world..."

Having said that, Xu Fan couldn't help but give Ah Li another brain meltdown.

"It hurts!"

"Wow! Does that mean that we are better than the Three Qing Dao Ancestors, such as the Buddha or something?! ”

"It can't be said that we are at best the managers of the higher dimensional planes, and it is still difficult to really go head-to-head with these legendary characters, for example, the infinite world is a building, and each world is the room in the building, and we are the administrators who collect the rent, and the administrators may not be able to hammer the tenants, understand?"

Listening to Xu Fan's words, Ah Li muttered in a low voice.

"Who says the hammer can't be beaten? This seat can... Oops it hurts! ”

Cold as a knife snorted coldly.

"What if it's big, we can only barely maintain the transaction through the mission records of the Gate of the Other World, and now the Ten Halls don't recognize us, what's the use of being powerful? What's more, we are now on the verge of bankruptcy, and Xu Fan may be the first Hades to starve to death. ”

Ding Ning's eyes lit up.

"We can make money with our abilities or props!"

Leng Rudao snorted coldly.

"For example? You became a girl to pole dance? Silly fork snow to sing? Two beeps off the performance of swallowing the sword? Watermelon chest crushed boulder? Although these are not in the precepts of the Thirteen Laws, the Ten Halls clearly stipulate that you can't use your abilities excessively to get wealth, let alone sell illegal props, and you have already been blacklisted, and if you violate the Code of the Ten Palaces, our Tea Cat House will be revoked from its business qualifications and kicked out of the Ten Halls team in minutes. ”

Xu Fan sighed.

"Don't talk about these first, let's solve the problem in front of us first, our tea cat house is now on the verge of bankruptcy, we must find a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure, I called everyone here to brainstorm, throw away our special status as an infinite deacon, we are now just a group of ordinary people forced by life, how to earn money back, not to starve to death, everyone comes up with ideas, whose method is effective, I will reward him to choose a random thing between miracles in return..."

"I can pole dance!!"

"Song Ji Xue can sing!!"

"This seat can swallow a sword!!"

"Miss Ben won't know anything... Wrong! Miss Ben can also break boulders in her chest!! ”

Just when everyone was excited, a unique spray-style speech suddenly sounded.

"Broken boulder in the chest or something, my big watermelon is not allowed!!"

Everyone followed the sound and looked at the door, and there was a holy light everywhere they looked, and Ding Ning covered his eyes and shouted.

"Hey, I'll make my titanium dog eyes!!"

The big bald head reflects the lifeless sun at the end of autumn, a well-fitting white suit is put on the burly and sturdy body, the original beard has been carefully trimmed and transformed into a male beard on the chin to reveal a little vicissitudes, the narrow eyes are extremely deep, the two sword eyebrows are slightly raised, the watermelon has a bright rose in its mouth, and he swayed to the stunned Lu Xiaoai, and the corners of his mouth are slightly smiling.

"My little cutie, you are very cute today~ It's like a freshly baked sweet potato, steaming like a thief pulling a beautiful heat~!"

Seeing this scene, the soy sauce let out a frightened scream, and the wasabi lying on the third bell fell headlong.

Everyone dragged their jaws that were about to fall to the ground, and watched as the watermelon plunged his right hand into his trouser pocket, and with the other hand laboriously plucked the thorny rose from his mouth.

"You are my rose, you are my flower, you are my only concern in this life! Please accept my roses and forgive Xiao Ding Ning for offending you before. ”

Watermelon turned his head sideways to look at Ding Ning, and there was a hint of apology in his eyes.

(I'm sorry little Ding Ning, after all... The person who loves my crush is me! Hey, hey, hey, hey~~ But isn't it a bit unauthentic? ）

Ignoring his bloody lips, Watermelon turned his head and pulled Ding Ning into his arms and put his head to his ear.

"Don't worry, Uncle will help you settle things, after all... Hee-hee-hee~ Hey, hey, hey, hey~ Ahem, Xiaoai will definitely listen to me! ”

Ah Li rubbed his eyes and remembered the half cup of milk tea he saw last night, and he trembled.

(Alas, I'm going too spicy for the eyes!) This is the foundation of the foundation! also took the matter of Ding Ning making Xiaoai angry on himself! This... This is the legendary boyfriend power?! ）

Ding Ning looked at the watermelon's bloody fat lips, and his eyes moistened.

(Uncle!) You actually dressed like a dog in order to help me apologize to Xiao Ai! You're really my uncle! ）

Leng Rudao, Xu Fan, Xiao Xue, Chu Xiyao, and Xiao Huan looked at everything in front of them with confused faces, and a common idea occurred in their minds. (What's going on?) What's going on?! ）

Ah Li hugged his arms and nodded repeatedly, as if he had seen through everything,

Lu Xiaoai, who didn't know why, looked at everyone's reactions, and hurriedly came to the side of Ah Li, the only person who understood, and asked in a whisper, "Ah Li?" What the hell is going on?! ”

"Shhh So, so, so..."

Lu Xiaoai turned her head suddenly, her eyes full of tears.

"Ding! Peaceful!! You're !! Disgusting!! I'm not happy!! ”

Ding Ning fell to his knees with a snort, watched Xiao Ai rush out of the door, and hurriedly got up from the ground and chased after him.

"Hey! What's wrong with me again!? Little love! Little love?! Oh, my God! What the hell are girls thinking?!! ”

The others saw that there was a lively scene to see, and happily followed behind Ding Ning, completely leaving Xu Fan behind.

Xu Fan took a long puff of cigarette hard.

"Hey, I'm not done yet... Can you save me some snacks... When will this be?"

Watermelon pulled out a chair and sat next to Xu Fan, with a faint trace of vicissitudes on his face.

"Alas... I didn't expect to cry Xiaoai to Shuai, it's all my fault! ”

Xu Fan showed a disgusted expression and moved his body.

"Forget it, they probably don't have any good ideas, I'll discuss it with you, it's almost Halloween soon, the Eastern and Western ghost meeting was held in Zhonghai, two days ago, the Eastern Zombie Association contacted me to ask us to help deal with the Western Dark Council, it just so happened that our Tea Cat House had a Halloween-themed party, first, we could entertain those little ghosts under the guise of Halloween, and second, we could make a little money..."

"No problem! That's a great idea! ”

"But Ah Li ate all the ingredients last night, we don't have any rice to cook, those vampires are very picky, what do you say."

Watermelon frowned.

"It's a pity, Shuai can't be eaten as a meal, otherwise I can make Xiao Ai Shuai cry, leave Shuai Leng, make Xiao Xue Shuai stupid, and make Chu Xiyao handsome and handsome..."

"Stop! You give me a way to solve it, or I'll bleed you to the vampires!" ”

"Gotta ~ boss, do you think I'm particularly handsome today?!"

"Did you eat something wrong today?"

"Boss, you don't understand, I seem to have regained the youth that was lost in the sunset..."

Xu Fan pushed his glasses.

"Okay, there's another thing, the location of our tea cat home is not very good, the flow of customers is not large, the things must be delicious and there is nothing wrong, but unfortunately there are still too few sales, I just contacted Meilv Takeaway, we will provide food delivery business in the future, you have to be busy."

The watermelon patted his chest, accidentally slapped his muscles off, and his big fat belly fell violently and flew the buttons of his suit.

"No problem!"

Xu Fan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and opened it little by little with a solemn face.

"This is my manuscript fee, let's use this money to live in the past two days..."

Watermelon looked at Xu Fan's manuscript fee, and his eyes were full of tears.

"Boss, that's it... I've gone out to ask for more food than this..."

"No way... Writers..."

The bell rings after school,

Ding Ning randomly collected the books on the table and rushed out of the classroom door, went straight to the third class of the third year where Xiao Ai was, and bumped into Xiao Xue who came out of the door.

"Ahh It's you! What! ”

Ding Ning hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "Sister Xue~ That, what about Xiao Ai?" ”

Xiaoxue rolled her eyes.

"I took leave at noon and went home."

"Ah, no wonder I can't find it at noon, she, what's wrong with her?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Ding Ning scratched his cheek with a dry smile.

"That, Xiaoxue, you tell me, why Xiaoai has been doing so much to me these days... Hmm..."

Xiaoxue glanced at Ding Ning.

"Why?"

"I'll give you money..."

"How much? No, no, no, that's not what I mean..."

Ding Ning took out a crumpled red ticket from his pocket and raised his hands in front of Xiaoxue's eyes.

Xiaoxue snatched it unceremoniously.

"Hmph, you're quite good at getting into trouble~ Okay, Mercy Snow will give you a word."

"What?"

"Think about it for yourself."

"I'll make up, just one sentence?!"

"Or else? What did you do wrong that you don't know? Oh, man~"

Seeing Xiaoxue turn her head and leave, Ding Ning rubbed her hair fiercely.

"Ahhh!!hhh Women are a mystery!! ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a slender figure and sneaked into the warehouse.

"That's... Lu Lili? It's all out of school, what is she doing?! Wrong! ”

Ding Ning subconsciously followed, and a delicate voice faintly came from the warehouse.

"Darker than darkness, more desperate than despair, embrace the withered flower of the soul, the sword of the netherworld, the fruit of mystery, the god of death! Life is boring, I want to make the light strange and detached~!! ”

The door of the warehouse opened, and Ah Li, wearing a silver mask and a ponytail and a black cloak, walked out with an apple in his mouth and laughing.

"Happy to go to the Hero Association~~"

"What?!!"

Ah Li was taken aback by Ding Ning who suddenly jumped out.

"Yikes! What are you doing?! ”

Ding Ning pounced with excitement on his face.

"Ah Li! What did you just say? Hero Society?! ”

Ah Li kicked Ding Ning in the face, crossed his small waist and smiled.

"Of course! This seat is a righteous little friend, as a hero, of course you have to go to the Hero Association! ”

Ding Ning wiped his nose and hugged Ah Li's little feet.

"Big guy! Take me to the Hero Society! “

"Huh? Why? Our Hero Association doesn't want any wine bags and rice bags. ”

"I'll give you money!"

"How much? No, no, no, that's not what I mean..."

Ding Ning took out a crumpled blue ticket from his pocket and raised his hands high.

"Rub! Didn't you just give Xiaoxue a hundred? How do you give this seat ten dollars?! ”

Ding Ning smiled dryly: "That, I'll write you an IOU for the rest, you can take me there, okay Ah Li, how can you say that you are also the most handsome, powerful and beepping boss in our tea cat family, bring up the little brother~"

snatched the ticket from Ding Ning's hand.

"Whahaha, okay, IOU first! Ten dollars is also money~"
