190 Where is the Yin City?
In the next few days, our internship at Tianjia Hotel was basically the same rhythm, 9 in the morning and 9 in the evening, doing rough work, kitchen knives and spatulas were not touched. Among the ten of us, except for Xu Yuan, almost all of us gave up the illusion of retention. Tony couldn't do anything about us, he just asked us to finish the work, and the standards were not as strict as they were at the beginning.
Ever since I talked to the red-faced man that night, my motivation has taken a hard hit and I've started to get lazy in my work. Tony criticized me a few times, and I listened without blushing and heartbeating, and I had to get by. But if that's all there is to it, I later found myself isolated by other people.
I asked Yue Xiang privately why everyone was reluctant to talk to me recently, was it because I was lazy in my work?
Yue Xiang said that everyone is lazy now, and they are all complaining, and Tony is not just criticizing you. Then he asked me in turn: "Big brother, do you want to have any scandal with Xu Yuan recently?" Don't try to hide it from me! You were seen whispering in the woods that night! ”
I hurriedly shouted that I had been wronged and said, "Don't gossip!" There's really nothing between me and her! ”
Yue Xiang said: "We didn't say anything about your gossip, this matter was actually broken by Xu Yuan himself!" ”
"What did she blow up?" I wondered.
"Xu Yuan said that you are jealous of her, and in order to compete for the retention quota of the internship, you are making small moves behind your back, and saying bad things about her and Pei Dut!"
I listened and almost fainted! I gave Xu Yuan the advice I gave in private, how could she say it openly everywhere?
"Nothing!" I swore to Yue Xiang and said, "Don't you know who I am? There's no way I'm going to do that! ”
Yue Xiang said: "I believe in you! But it's hard to say anything about others! ”
I hesitated for a moment, considering whether to tell Yue Xiang the inside story that the red-faced ghost told me, but in the end I still felt that it was inappropriate. I'm afraid I'm just saying, maybe there will be some misunderstanding again!
Yue Xiang's words made me uneasy all day. I don't know if it's my own suspicions, or if everyone really looks at me like this behind my back, I always feel that they are deliberately alienating me, and no one is willing to partner with me except Yue Xiang when I work.
In order to stop the rumors, and at the same time to try to escape from this thankless situation, I had to make up my mind and play a "self-deprecation" play!
On the bus back that night, I deliberately asked the teacher in front of everyone to quit the internship early. Everyone was really surprised, and they didn't expect that I would take the initiative to give up the competition for the reserved slot.
But the teacher who led the team was very unhappy, and said with a black face that he couldn't change people temporarily, since the school recommended me to come, I must have a beginning and an end, and no matter what, I must insist on finishing the last two days! He also criticized me for being willful, lacking perseverance, doing things in a hurry, unorganized and undisciplined, how can I achieve great things in the future?
I listened cheekily to his lecture, and after a few scoldings, I returned to my seat and sat down. Actually, it doesn't matter if I get scolded, anyway, my strategic goal has been achieved. As soon as I finished saying these words, I felt a lot more relaxed, at least I didn't have to bear the trumped-up "crime" anymore.
It was Saturday, and I was facing another 36-hour workmarathon. I was very happy in Tianjia, but when I arrived at Yuanbaolou, my work attitude came to a 180-degree turn, and my enthusiasm was very high.
I seized some of my spare time when I was running to the hall and learned to sing recipes with my old age, but in Mandarin. When I was old, he was happy to teach me and praised me for being self-motivated and a quick learner. Actually, I learned to sing recipes for selfishness, and to put it bluntly, I made it for Jin Dascoop to see.
I think Jin Da Spoon is still a relatively decent person in the Yuan Bao Gate. He neither deliberately tries to please anyone, nor does he form gangs, and his management of these employees in the Yuanbao Building is also impartial, only his ability is used. In that case, if I don't work hard, how can I please him?
It is said that there are a lot of weirdos and strange things in the ghost market in Xiling. Generally speaking, the restaurants and food stalls in the ghost market are all open to do ghost business, especially our restaurants that sell ghost food. But there is no explicit rule that no living people will be accepted, so there is such a guest who is not very particular about this evening.
The ghost market is open and closed, and some stall owners will close their stalls in advance if they have a good business. At around four o'clock in the morning, a mysterious guest dressed in a well-dressed manner walked into the Yuanbao Building. What's the law? He wore a cloak, an old-fashioned hood that was only used in winter, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and two nostrils were exposed on his entire face to make it easier to breathe. He wore a long black coat and trousers, and gloves on his hands, covering almost every inch of his skin. However, the taste is not flattering, it is similar to a beggar!
In fact, most of the people in the Yuanbao Building have seen him, including me. The mystery customer often sets up a stall in the makeshift stall area, selling goods related to animal carcasses. But his business seems to be doing well, and he doesn't know what the customers who patronize his stall buy the skins, entrails, and bones for.
The mysterious guest carried a dirty ** bag into the Yuanbao Building, and said in a voice with an urn sound: "A bowl of rice, for people to eat......" After speaking, he found a table and sat down.
When I saw it, the other runners were holding their noses and hiding far away, and then they gave me a look when they were old. Since the last time Diao Dashuai came, they seemed to have reached a consensus, and this kind of eccentric guest will be left to me to serve by default. Alright, I'll serve him!
The bowl rice in the kitchen was all steamed in advance, and I went in and brought one out for the mysterious guest. He only pulled down his hood a little bit when he ate, and he ate it with his mouth exposed, and he ate very carefully, spoonful by spoonful, feeding it to his mouth. It took a while for him to finish his meal.
"Checkout!" Mysterio puts his hood back on and shouts.
I walked over, and still habitually quoted the ghost market price: "200 billion...... Pluto! ”
The mystery man also seemed stunned for a moment, and then fumbled in his pocket for a long time before taking out a dark coin and handing it to me. Sure enough, he is also a Yin cultivator, and he can directly take paper money. But I looked at the dark coin, the pattern and style are completely different from the dark coins printed in the Xiling ghost market, which are obviously more exquisite, but the face value is only one hundred.
I hurriedly said, "I'm sorry! Outside of the Underworld Coin is not accepted here. Or you can give RMB directly, and the bowl rice is 20 yuan a piece! ”
When the mysterious guest heard me say this, he planned to take the coin back. But at this time, Xu Dawan behind the counter shouted: "Collect!" We'll take his coin too! Xiao Zhai, you take it, I'll find him money! ”
Still looking for money for a hundred coins? I was a little confused, but I still took the paper money and handed it to Xu Dawan. Xu Dawan found a bunch of dark coins printed in the Xiling ghost market, but the mysterious man saw it and said, "I don't want the dark coins here, you can find me RMB!" ”
Xu Dawan took all the paper money back, took out eighty yuan from himself and handed it to me, and I handed it to the guest. The mystery customer took the money and left.
I thought this was very surprising, so I walked back to the counter and asked Xu Dawan: "Brother Xu, where is this dark coin printed?" So valuable? It's the same exchange rate as the RMB! ”
Xu Dawan didn't look up, he kept an account in his hand, and said in his mouth: "This is the dark currency used in the Yin City, which is much more valuable than the dark currency in Xiling." One hundred of this kind of dark currency is equivalent to one yin yuan, and it is more than 100 yuan when converted into RMB! ”
"Yin City?" I suddenly heard a new term, and my interest immediately rose, and I asked him again, "Where is Yin City?" What does it do? ”
Xu Dawan raised his head at this time and gave me a blank look, and said impatiently: "This is not something you should ask!" Get to work! ”
When I saw that he was chasing me, I couldn't ask any more questions, so I had to go away. Xu Dawan is this temper, he ignores everyone, but he usually doesn't mix blindly and exists. But when he said this, my curiosity not only did not fade, but only intensified. So, I ran to ask the old man again.
It's almost time to get off work at this time, and there are not many guests left in the Yuanbao Building, so Lao Shi and a few other people who run the hall are chatting together. As soon as he heard me ask about the situation of "Yin City", he frowned and said: "No one has been to Yin City, and I have only heard others talk about it, as if it is said that all the ghosts live in Yin City, it is a ghost city!" When the living go, they will be caught, eaten alive, and eaten! ”
"That's not right! Wrong! Where did you hear that when you were old? Another old man surnamed Ruan shook his head and said, "Yin City is Yin City, not a ghost city!" Our old knife master Zhao in the Yuanbao Building has been there, didn't he come back well? ”
It is indeed clear that what the old man said was sensational news. Wasn't that Yin cultivator just now a living person? It was still this old Ruan who said something more reliable, and he also brought out the name of Zhao Laodao, and everyone nodded their heads for a while.
I asked Lao Ruan again: "Then have you heard Master Zhao say what it looks like inside Yin City?" ”
Lao Ruan said: "Of course, he won't tell us people about it." However, I heard from another guest before: The Yin City is a mixture of people and ghosts, and Yin and Yang live together, and both houses are built for people to live in, and tombs for ghosts to live in! ”
"I don't believe what you say!" When I was old, I was dismissed by Lao Ruan just now, and I seemed a little unhappy, so I put it on the bar, "People and ghosts live together, yin and yang live together?" What does the living man eat and drink in it? Who would run away with a ghost when they have nothing to do? ”
Lao Ruan was not convinced, and said, "Why not? Maybe the Yin City is similar to the ghost market here. It's just that they are a big ghost city, and they can open every day, 24 hours a day! If there is money to earn, someone will go! ”
When he was old, he couldn't help Lao Ruan, and he stopped talking after muttering two sentences. At this time, another runner pestled me and asked me, "Xiao Zhai, are you perineal practitioners called Yin Xiu?" ”
There was no need to hide this from them, so I nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"I think you guys are also quite mysterious, maybe, the Yin City is full of Yin cultivators like you!"
"It's possible!" This explanation is the most reliable for others, "Yin cultivates and lives in Yin City, it shouldn't be wrong to hear this name!" ”
These people are not from the Yuanbao Gate, and they have never practiced Yin Gong, so it is normal for them to think like this. But I know the situation in the Yin Cultivation Realm, judging from the current scattered situation in the Yin Cultivation Realm, if a certain sect or a certain person still has the ability and courage to build a city? I don't think it's very credible!
