Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Hand in the Jar
Uncle Gan was very angry.
I didn't think I had to save face for my dad, but he didn't have a seizure.
But my dad cooked noodles, he won't eat them today.
Seeing that the other party refused, my dad was a little surprised.
In addition, Uncle Gan's face was serious, Tang Sihai expected that something should have happened in the middle.
So he put the noodles back.
Uncle Gan didn't leave, just sat next to him, quietly looking at Tang Sihai, without saying a word.
During this period, the remaining tables of guests all checked out and left one after another.
After the last guest left, Tang Sihai breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
He went back to the bar and counted his earnings for the day.
From the expression on his face, it could be seen that Tang Sihai should be quite satisfied with this number.
Uncle Gan waited for a long time, and during this time, he drank a lot of water.
Tang Sihai came over and wanted to talk to Uncle Gan.
Uncle Gan stood up suddenly, he said that he was in a hurry to urinate and would go to the toilet.
Tang Sihai hurriedly said to Uncle Gan: "I have re-built that bathroom in the past two days, you can enter through the small door on the right, and on the other side, I will separate ......."
Uncle Gan was in a bit of a hurry and didn't hear too clearly.
I saw that he directly opened the small door on the left, and after striding in, he found that everything inside had changed.
Half of the room was separated, and there were more than a dozen jars, large and small.
Above the room, there was only a small window.
The moonlight that came in from the outside shone coldly on the altar.
The black porcelain altar exudes a cold light.
And in the air, there is an indescribable smell, not unpleasant, but I can't tell what it is, and the whole room also has a particularly weird atmosphere.
Uncle Gan was in it, and in addition to feeling this strange atmosphere, he also felt cold.
A kind of coldness that penetrates the bones.
It's like a person opens a freezer door and walks in.
The cold air around him, from all directions, soaked towards his body little by little.
Uncle Gan shuddered.
Just then, he heard a loud noise.
There was a "clang", as if something had lightly hit the jar.
The voice came from the corner of the wall, and Uncle Gan followed the sound and walked over carefully.
The voice continued.
Uncle Gan walked to the corner, he hunched over, and looked towards the deepest part of the altar.
It doesn't matter if you look at this, all of a sudden, Uncle Gan got goosebumps.
I saw that in the far corner, the largest jar, the lid on it was gently pushed open from the inside, and a fat arm was sticking out from it.
Uncle Gan was so frightened that his face turned pale.
He took a step back, staring fixedly at the pale arm.
I saw that one was gathered around the jar and grabbed it left and right.
It seemed to be looking for something, and at the same time, it kept arching outward, as if trying to escape from within.
Seeing this, Uncle Gan was so frightened that he couldn't breathe.
He didn't take a single step, and the whole person came back and sat down on the ground.
The hand in the jar seemed to hear something.
I saw that it was stunned and stopped what it had just done.
The pale hand looked like it had eyes.
In the dim light, motionless, just opposite Uncle Gan, as if waiting for something.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the door.
Suddenly, a bright light came through.
I saw my dad Tang Sihai, standing at the door.
As soon as he saw Uncle Gan who fell to the ground, he hurriedly walked over.
After helping him up, Uncle Gan saw Tang Sihai's eyes, and intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the jar that made the movement just now, and then looked at Uncle Gan again:
"Before I could speak, you came in, and I had turned this place into a warehouse, and put some kimchi jars or something."
After Uncle Gan was helped up by Tang Sihai, he pointed to the corner and said to Tang Sihai:
"In that big jar, there is something, I just saw, a hand, sticking out of it......"
Hearing this, Tang Sihai frowned.
He turned around, followed the example of Uncle Gan, hunched over, and also looked towards the place he had just looked.
After a pause, Tang Sihai looked at Uncle Gan: "There's nothing, it's just a group of ordinary jars, I just soaked it a few days ago, it's no problem." ”
Heard Tang Sihai Tang Sihai say this.
Uncle Gan hurriedly stepped forward.
Sure enough, in the moonlight, the largest altar was placed quietly, and the lid on it was also intact, and the outer layer of the altar was without any waves along the water.
I can't tell at all that I was touched just now.
Uncle Gan was a little confused.
Tang Sihai patted Uncle Gan's shoulder: "The light here is too dark, I guess you are dazzled." ”
After a slight pause, he said again: "I'm on the first floor here, maybe you saw a mouse, opened a restaurant, there is a mouse, it's normal, and it should be not small." ”
Uncle Gan was also very confused at that time.
In his impression, what he had just seen was a big rat or a human arm.
He felt that he still deserved to be separated.
Although people have retired, they have not yet reached the point of old and dizzy.
Uncle Gan continued to stare at the big jar, Tang Sihai turned to him and said, "Go out, the air here is not good, the smell of the kimchi jar is too strong, and it is uncomfortable to stay inside." ”
Uncle Gan sighed, and followed Tang Sihai out.
went to the bathroom and went to the toilet, and after Uncle Gan came out, he sat for a while before recovering.
My dad Tang Sihai still asked for a bowl of noodles for Uncle Gan to eat. Seeing this, Uncle Gan solemnly asked Tang Sihai: "Xiao Tang, tell me honestly, you haven't opened your business for the past few days, what are you doing, and besides, the taste of your noodles is completely different, did you add anything to it?" ”
After hearing this, my dad was silent for a while.
After that, he looked up at Uncle Gan:
"I see what you mean, you want to ask me if I have food additives like them, right?"
Uncle Gan nodded.
Seeing this, my dad looked at Uncle Gan solemnly:
"I don't dare to guarantee anything else, when it comes to food safety, I Tang Sihai definitely have my own principles. That's right, the smell of the chicken whistle has been improved, but it's definitely not what you think, so you can rest assured! ”
Hearing my dad say this, Uncle Gan's heart that had been hanging before was relaxed.
He thought about it for a moment, and seemed to understand something at once:
"In that room just now, there were so many jars, and the kimchi in them was the trick you knew?"
My dad nodded, "That's right! ”
The conversation between the two was very pleasant, and that night, my dad cooked that bowl of noodles for Uncle Gan to eat.
At this moment, more than ten years later, I sat in the seat that my father had made before, listened to Uncle Gan's words at that time, turned around, and looked at the room next to the bathroom, which was already empty.
Lost in thought......
