Chapter 6: The First Guest

"Captain, Akai, you're finally back! I'm starving!! As soon as the two entered the door, He Yan couldn't wait to take the lunch box in Xu Zhen's hand and devoured it.

"Did you find anything?" At the dinner table, Xu Zhen asked everyone again if they had gained anything.

"There is nothing strange about it, it's just a normal little restaurant. Not only that, but a few of us also found a lot of smelly socks and dirty pants under the bed. It seems that this ghost is not too particular. As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, he was pounded by Wu Ruomeng. The expression on He Yan's face was also very disgusted, and the two of them recalled the strange smell before, and couldn't help frowning.

Bai Qi was not affected, he took two mouthfuls of rice and asked the two of them: "What about you guys, how is it outside?" ”

"It's a little different from the Tiesan Hutong I remember." Dai Shikai was the first to speak: "But I haven't been here, when I was a child, my family always warned me and my brother not to come here to play, so every time I pass by here, my brother always takes me away immediately, and stays too long." ”

In Dai Shikai's recollections, nearby residents said that this alley was full of evil nature, and they were afraid to avoid it. Therefore, children are afraid to come to play in the alley.

"When I was a child, my dad told me that this alley looks ghostly during the day, let alone at night. Everyone would rather take a long detour than cross from here. It is said that some bold people entered this alley and never came out again, even children......" Dai Shikai sighed: "When we were children, we only thought that our parents made up lies to scare me. But now it seems that the things in this alley are indeed related to space. ”

"That's right......" While everyone was thinking, there was a knock on the door of the back kitchen.

The knock on the door sounded rhythmic, not loud or hurried, but it was especially loud in this dark alley.

Everyone looked up at the clock on the wall, and it was eleven o'clock.

"The delivery guy has arrived." Xu Zhen got up and walked to the door. Although the Dream Breakers have dealt with the ghosts many times, it is impossible to say that they are not afraid every time they face them.

Dai Shikai pushed his glasses and walked in front of Xu Zhen first: "It's okay, I'll open the door." Be on the defensive. Xu Zhen didn't have any doubts about Dai Shikai's ability, he nodded, and hid the evil blade in his sleeve.

Bai Qi and the others on the side also held the props in their hands, and after making all preparations, Dai Shikai opened the door.

The imaginary horror did not appear, and standing outside the door was a middle-aged man who looked honest and honest. The man was not tall and dark-skinned, and after seeing Dai Shikai and a few people behind him, the middle-aged man froze for a moment, and then smiled: "It's Boss Zhang's new guy, right?" I'm in charge of delivering food to our restaurant, just call me Lao Chen. ”

"Master Chen, it's been a hard work." Dai Shikai pushed his glasses and looked at the gray tricycle behind him. Here, after Lao Chen greeted everyone one by one, he returned to the tricycle and uncovered the cloth.

The terrifying picture that Wu Ruomeng was worried about did not appear, and there were three rows of vegetables neatly stacked on the car, as well as two buckets of fish and shrimp. There were two large bags of flour and rice, and the meat was tied with straw rope and wrapped in clean paper and set aside. The dishes on the car look fresh, although there are not many, but there is a complete variety. Roughly estimated, it is almost the weight of more than a dozen people.

"Here's the list of dishes, take a look." After Lao Chen moved the ingredients to the back kitchen, he carefully wiped his hands clean, and took out a few crumpled pieces of paper from his pocket, he squinted and looked at them for more than ten seconds before handing one of them to Xu Zhen.

"I'm sorry." Xu Zhen took the list, and then asked, "Are the dishes delivered every day fixed?" ”

"If you need anything, just call me and let me know in advance." Lao Chen pointed to a string of numbers on the list: "This is my contact information." ”

"May I ask the other restaurants in this alley, are you also responsible for the delivery?" He Yan asked.

"Yes, you are the last one, I can go back to rest after sending it off."

"Are the ingredients the same in every restaurant?" Dai Shikai's question has attracted everyone's attention.

"It's not quite the same." Sure enough, Lao Chen gave a new clue: "The dishes of several restaurants here are different, and the tastes and needs of the guests are different, so each restaurant will place orders according to their preferences and positioning." ”

"Can you show me their delivery order?" Dai Shikai noticed a few other pieces of paper in Lao Chen's hand. He had to understand what was going on in the other three districts, and there was a lot to see from this little menu.

"Give." Lao Chen didn't have any doubts, and directly and generously handed them the menu.

Dai Shikai took it and looked at it very seriously. After watching it for about three minutes, he returned the menu to Lao Chen with a smile: "Thank you, Master Chen." ”

After Lao Chen left, everyone immediately closed the door and rummaged through the ingredients on the ground.

"It's all very ordinary vegetables." Bai Qi pinched the meat wrapped in oil paper: "This should also be ordinary pork, beef, and mutton." I thought there would be some stump and severed arm......"

"I beg you to shut up." Wu Ruomeng secretly rejoiced in her heart. Fortunately, this mission is not so heavy, and the ingredients given are normal.

"Judging from these ingredients, the small restaurant we run is just making ordinary home-cooked stir-fried dishes. It's not too much, but fortunately, there is a wide variety of dishes. Dai Shikai also began to use his amazing memory: "The other three restaurants, judging from the list, the first one has a lot of meat, and they ask for a lot of seasonings. So I speculate that the restaurant is in the barbecue business. ”

"The second restaurant has a lot of flour in demand, followed by meat, and it should be a noodle restaurant or dim sum shop." He Yan added.

"The third one is a snack bar."

In this mission, what needs to be done is to know oneself and the other. Dai Shikai knew that they must be the only ones who had read the list. The other districts should have similar information about the other three opponents.

"So after learning about the type of business of each store, all that remains is how to grab their customers." After Wu Ruomeng finished speaking, she glanced at Bai Qi and said half-jokingly: "Could it be that this mission has really become a cooking competition?" ”

"Then I can only use all my strength." Bai Qi said, lifting it on his arm.

"What do you mean?" He Yan is a little inexplicable.

"Can't you see? This is my grandchef's armband......" Bai Qi's words made everyone roll their eyes.

"Alright, no kidding." Xu Zhen stood up: "Cooking skills aside, the focus is on what kind of identity the guests we receive...... Also, everyone must take every "person" who comes to the door seriously, and must not be complained about ......"

"Understood." All the team members resumed their serious expressions, and according to the division of labor, everyone used the remaining hour to wash the ingredients and cut them.

Before I knew it, twelve o'clock was quietly coming. Everyone had already returned to their posts, waiting with bated breath for the first guest......

The door was pushed open. A slender figure appeared in the restaurant. The first to enter was a girl in a white floral dress with a straw hat on her head, which covered her face tightly. This outfit on the big night does look a little weird.

"Hello and welcome...... Pro! He Yan immediately stepped forward and greeted this woman cordially. The woman looked up and took off her hat by the way. And He Yan's originally smiling face instantly stiffened after seeing the other party's appearance clearly.

It's just that his on-the-spot reaction ability is very fast, and he immediately regained his previous smile, and his voice sounded no different from usual: "Is it just one?" You sit here, here's the menu, take a look at the ......"

The woman nodded, gently lifted her skirt, and sat down elegantly in the chair. Her white and delicate hands took the menu handed by He Yan, and after a few cursory glances, she pointed to two of the dishes.

"Okay, you wait, I'll do it for you right away." After He Yan finished speaking, the woman nodded at him, and then looked at the wall clock on the wall with her cheeks in her hands, and no longer looked at him.

When he returned to the back kitchen with the menu, He Yan found that the white shirt behind him was already wet. But no one laughed at him, and when he came back, Xu Zhen immediately stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Good job." ”

"What's going on outside, why can't you hear the sound?" Wu Ruomeng came over curiously.

"Emma, I'm scared to death......" He Yan patted his chest with palpitations: "That woman doesn't have a mouth, how can she talk......"

Wu Ruomeng quietly lifted the curtain and looked towards the hall. Sure enough, the woman in the white dress sitting in the seat, although she had a pair of gentle willow eyebrows and beautiful eyes, the part below her nose was empty.

The area from the lips to the chin seemed to have been smashed by something, and the blood kept dripping down the neck, which looked particularly terrifying.

"I have a question in mind......" He Yan's expression looked quite worried: "She looks like this, how can she eat for a while?" ”

Xu Zhen couldn't help but have a headache, he didn't expect to receive the first guest, and they encountered such a tricky problem.
