Chapter 28: Zhou Tai
Although Wan Ning said that he was the young master of the super family in his previous life, the Starry Sky Giant Beast Clan adhered to the concept of asceticism and rarely enjoyed pleasure, so when he saw this table full of delicacies, his eyes almost fell off in shock.
"This.... That's too much of a waste of money, isn't it? I can't help it, shopkeeper..."
Wan Ning wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said seriously, but his nose kept sniffing the aroma of the food.
"Don't be humble, please eat first, I sent a maid to wait outside the door, if you need anything, you can ring the bell, and the maid will help you deal with it." ”
The shopkeeper took out a delicate copper bell from his pocket and placed it on Wan Ning's table, then said a promise to him, and slowly withdrew from the empty room, leaving Wan Ning alone and a table full of delicacies.
Wan Ning sat for a while, and after hearing the shopkeeper's footsteps far away, he finally exposed the face of the glutton, couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, and slammed into the little suckling pig that was fried to golden, only to hear a "bang", the hot oil came out of the hole, Wan Ning tore off a large piece of crispy and tender skin, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Although Wan Ning is a body cultivator, the amount of food is larger, but after all, it is not a thousand tons of big stomach, when there is still a third of the delicacies left, the young man touched the round belly on the ground, let out a sigh of satisfaction, in line with the principle of not wasting food, Wan Ning very tasteless packaging the remaining meals into the storage ring, anyway, the space and time in the storage ring are static, no matter how long the food will not spoil.
"Alright, it's time to get down to business," Wan Ning returned the silver plate to the table, took a deep breath, and with some difficulty tied his belt, then shook the bell and motioned for the maidservant to enter.
"Immortal Master, may I ask what you are doing. ”
The figure sitting outside the paper door by candlelight heard the bell, immediately stood up, bowed to Wanning through the paper door, and asked respectfully.
"I'm done with the meal, will the shopkeeper come up to find me, or will I go down?" Wan Ning said as he pulled a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Okay, I'll go downstairs and inform the shopkeeper, if it's convenient for you, can I call someone to clean up the table." The handmaid asked.
"Absolutely. Wan Ning replied with a lazy wave of his hand.
As soon as the words fell, the two strong men opened the paper door and strode in, almost startling Wan Ning. The two politely clenched their fists at Mannings, then walked to the table, methodically removing the plate scraps, and in a few moments left a neat table.
"Snacks in the cold house are not as precious as fairy food, please forgive me. ”
After a while, the shopkeeper pushed open the paper door, sat in front of Wan Ning, and said with a smile.
"Eh, shopkeeper, it's no fun to say this now, now that I've eaten and eaten, let's talk about business." ”
Wan Ning waved his hand and said solemnly.
"Okay, in that case, I'll call the boss in. ”
The shopkeeper smiled, then stepped back again, and after a while, he slowly walked in with a big fat man.
"Hello Wan Daoyou, I am Zhou Tai, the owner of this restaurant, and also Mr. Zhao's client, Mr. Zhao mentioned you to me before, I didn't expect you to be much younger than I imagined. ”
The fat man, supported by the shopkeeper, sat hard in front of Wan Ning, wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead with a silk handkerchief, and said. He is really rich, gorgeously dressed, with a piece of jade bodhisattva of excellent color tied to his chest, and a sandalwood Buddha bead in his left hand, but his expression is very frightened, even if he is in his own territory, he keeps looking around, his complexion is also very poor, the dark circles under his eyes are amazing, and his mouth is trembling slightly, obviously after being frightened for a long time.
"I looked at Boss Zhou's face, I must have encountered something unclean, and this guy seems to be traveling at night, so it's elusive. ”
After thinking about it, Wan Ning coughed and pretended to be inscrutable.
"Nonsense, which ghost dares to go out during the day to scare people, just talk some nonsense, if it is really a ghost king who haunts during the day, it is not something you can deal with now," Xiao Meihua complained silently.
"Yes, yes, yes, I can't imagine that Mr. Wan is not only a spiritual cultivator, but also a Taoist practitioner, it seems that Mr. Zhao did not recommend the wrong person to me. ”
Unexpectedly, hearing these words, Zhou Tai was grateful, and he couldn't stop thanking Wan Ning and sighed.
"That week, the boss will talk about the specific things first, and Wan will listen to him. Wan Ning asked lightly clasping the table and holding his left hand on his cheek.
"Okay, okay, here's the thing, since last month, every night when I go to sleep, two female ghosts will appear in my bedroom, and I will run away desperately, they will always chase after me. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Tai picked up the next glass of water, moistened his somewhat pale lips, and looked even more nervous.
"And then. Manning continued.
"But the others didn't seem to be able to see them, and asked me where the ghost was, even though the female ghost was behind me. Recalling the terrifying past of the past, Zhou Tai gasped a little, and the shopkeeper next to him quickly patted his chest and breathed smoothly.
"Have you ever considered changing your old bedroom? Wan Ning unfolded his mind and glanced at Zhou Tai, but he didn't see that the fat middle-aged man in front of him was yin and yang, and he didn't notice any clues, he was just an ordinary mortal, why the two female ghosts were only visible to him, which made Wan Ning a little puzzled.
"I've tried many times, I've changed a few restaurants, I've slept in them, but unfortunately it's useless, every time in the middle of the night, they always show up on time, it's been a whole month, Mr. Wan, please help me, I'm going crazy if I go on like this." ”
Zhou Tai trembled like a chaff sieve, and the fat swayed in waves, pleading with Wan Ning, if it weren't for being too fat, maybe he would have to kneel down all of a sudden. Judging from the mission information, Zhou Tai has several high-end restaurants, and he is also the person in charge of the entire Chang'an Mansion Restaurant Association.
"I have a question for Boss Zhou, have you been haunted by ghosts for a month, and they have caused you substantial harm during this time," Wan Ning asked.
"Not really, but they were chasing me every night, and it was okay that I could throw them far away, but recently they've started running... No, the float was getting faster and faster, and at one point it almost scratched my back. Zhou Tai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face turned blue.
"I'm a little curious about how such a fat person can run. Little Plum Blossom casually lay in Wanning's sea of gods and quipped.
"Don't attack people in this regard, when someone is pushed to the limit, the power that erupts should not be underestimated - in this case, Boss Zhou, why don't I go to Zhou's house with you tonight to find out. Wan Ning scolded Xiao Meihua, and then comforted the restless Zhou Tai.
"That's very good! With you, I will definitely be able to sleep well tonight, if Wan Daoyou can successfully slay the demon and capture the ghost, in addition to the thousand spirit stones promised before, all your requirements, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." Hearing Wanning's words, the chubby middle-aged man was overjoyed, and his expression finally relaxed, and Zhou Tian was worthy of being a wealthy man, and he took the initiative to propose other benefits to Wanning in a good mood.
"Let's not talk about it later, the first task is to catch the female ghost, so why don't we leave immediately and go to Zhou's house?"
Although Wan Ning was very moved by Zhou Tai's promise, after all, he was still half-hung in both spiritual cultivation and ghost path, and he didn't dare to boast about Haikou until the task was completed.
"It's rare for Daoyou to be so attentive, then let's act immediately, Akui, and then prepare a sedan chair for Wan Daoyou, and we can go home." ”
Zhou Tai laughed, and became more and more optimistic about the young boy in front of him, who was not good-looking at first, and then instructed the shopkeeper who remained silent beside him.
"Okay boss, Wan Daoyou, please wait a moment, I'll come and inform you as soon as I'm ready. ”
In the case of Zhou Tai's presence, the shopkeeper was not as easy-going as before, and he looked like a qualified housekeeper at this time.
