Chapter 154: Strange Tales of Rules (Black Ash)
As soon as he ran out of the corridor, he met the property "faceless man", Qiu Li panicked, but saw that he didn't pay attention to himself at all.
He passed by Akiri at the entrance of the building.
It seems that he went to deal with the problem of "black ash".
After Qiu Li reached the next floor, the front suddenly brightened, she had fled to the entrance of the corridor on the 2nd floor, and the bell could not be heard here, as if the alarm just now was only for the 3rd floor.
She breathed a long sigh of relief, it seems that this level should be passed.
She walked out of Building B with an empty takeaway box on her back.
When she arrived at the sidewalk, in front of her was the intersection she had come from before, she looked at the right side of the road, where through the fog, there was also a tall building, and looked at the map sign that had been opened in the mobile phone, it should be Building A.
The map shows that there is a convenience store opposite the commercial and residential building in Building A.
Qiu Li is itching, but today is the first day of work, so don't make any extraneous branches.
She regretfully put away her phone and prepared to cross the crossroads in front of her.
Once born and twice cooked, her steps on the return trip were obviously a little faster, and she regarded herself as deaf regardless of the various movements behind her.
"Little girl, you have dirty stuff on your back." An aunt crossing the street next to her reminded her.
"This person is rude, call her silent." Another voice rang out.
Qiuli pouted, I was not fooled.
After crossing the street, the fog not only did not disperse, but became thicker, although Akiri did not remember what it was like in other places, but the world in front of her did make her feel strange.
She glanced down at her watch, and at 12 o'clock, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten for most of the day, and she touched her stomach, which was strange, and she wasn't hungry.
This was wrong, it made her panic even more than what had happened before, how could she forget to eat breakfast?
Heavy footsteps were heard in the dense fog behind him, and a sharp claw with the sound of the whistling wind reached out to Akiri.
Qiu Li heard the movement, and her hairs stood up, this kind of gimmick is everywhere in this ghost place, although I know it's an illusion, but the terrifying atmosphere is full, and if it goes on like this, sooner or later I will have a nervous breakdown.
Thinking of this, her right foot suddenly exerted force, and the whole person rushed forward like an arrow off the string.
The hand behind her hand was caught off guard by her sudden departure, and her fingertips scratched the buckle of Akiri's takeaway box, and the buckle fell to the ground in response, and Akiri's figure had disappeared from the street.
There was a sigh of regret in the mist......
Back at the wonton shop, Qiu Li saw a bowl of wontons on the table at first glance, and the boss sitting on the chair in front of the stove was looking at Qiu Li with a smile, and he said:
"Put down the things, let's eat something first, we have two meals a day here, and the small wontons are enough."
As soon as the words fell, somehow, Akiri's stomach "gurgled", and then a surging hunger swept over.
Akiri quickly put down the take-out box and went to the sink to wash her hands first.
After a bowl of wontons, her hunger finally subsided, and the boss's voice sounded on the side: "What's going on?" β
She turned her head to see the Boss crouching next to the takeout box, touching its lid with her hand.
Qiu Li glanced at it, and the place where it was originally a buckle seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade, and it was broken together, and the buckle was gone.
"Did you encounter anything today?" The Boss frowned.
"The guy in room 301 refused to open the door, hiding inside to yin me, after I broke the door in, I found that it was all black ash, so I quickly escaped, and then came back."
Qiu Li thought about it for a while, and it seems that this is the only thing worth mentioning today.
The boss scolded: "You want to get wool from me all day long, damn it." β
As soon as the words fell, the small wonton shop suddenly darkened a few degrees, and his thin fingers were put down from the take-out box, and he muttered: "I'll go out for a walk, you look at the store." β
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked out.
Qiu Li was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stood up, chased to the door and asked, "If the guests come, can I cook wontons for them to eat?" β
The boss waved his hand: "Whatever you want, just like your own home." β
In just a few moments, his back disappeared into the mist.
Qiu Lixing hurriedly washed the bowl and began to take out the wonton wrappers bought by the boss from the refrigerator, all the wontons were freshly made and packed, and on the table, there were only a dozen small wontons left under the gauze at this moment.
These are about the ones that the boss left for himself.
The boss is actually not bad, Qiu Li thought to herself, she began to methodically clean the ingredients for the filling, and the first time she started, she found that her methods were old-fashioned, and they were not like the first operation.
I read it once in the morning, Qiu Li's memory is excellent, she repeated all the steps and details of the boss, and it turned out to be exactly the same, and it didn't take long for fifty small wontons to be wrapped.
When the boss comes back and lets him taste it, maybe he will be able to complete the task ahead of schedule.
Qiu Li was thinking about beauty, when five people suddenly walked over in the mist, four men and one woman, walked to the door of the chaos shop, and suddenly stopped.
Led by a tall man with short hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he stepped forward first and said, "How are wontons sold?" β
Qiu Li's heart moved, these are outsiders? There's no reason why locals shouldn't know the price of ravioli.
Immediately after, she was stunned, oops, she didn't know the price.
At the mouth of the alley, where she couldn't see, the notice that had been posted there had been blown away by the wind and replaced with a new one:
γFirewood Lane Rules:
1. The delivery person temporarily takes over the right to speak;
2. The price is set by the delivery staff;
3. Don't bargain when you buy things;
4. Praise the firewood ravioli. γ
Qiu Li thought about it carefully, and the boss used to buy meat for 100 yuan in the vegetable market, and the meat was about 5 or 6 catties.
This storefront, including the rent, plus the cost of his sole employee, would rather be higher than lower.
"20 yuan a bowl." Autumn pear quoted one, which doesn't seem to be a price close to the people.
The thinnest man with long hair among the five spoke: "It's so expensive, it's cheaper." As soon as the words fell, he seemed to see something terrible, and suddenly a scream came out of his mouth, and the mist behind him surged, enveloping him in an instant.
Before Qiu Li could see clearly, the mist had been quickly retracted, and in a blink of an eye, the person disappeared from his eyes.
The man at the head was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, he didn't care to check the whereabouts of the other party, walked into the store and said, "Bring me a bowl." β
Then he added: "Thank you." β
The remaining three people walked in in turn, each asking for a bowl.
Qiu Li was undecided, and suddenly remembered the announcement she saw at the entrance of the alley, "Don't bargain when you buy things", and suddenly mourned in silence for the stranger who disappeared.
She handed over a few new pieces of firewood, and then stepped on the hair dryer next to her with her foot, and after a while, the fire was bright, the water was boiling, and she put the wonton into it......
"I don't know why, but when I got here, my stomach was so hungry." The only girl among the four whispered.
"Who says it's not, otherwise we won't come to ask the price, before understanding the rules, it seems that we have to talk less, otherwise it will be the same as the old five."
"Well, I see." The girl touched her stomach and waited pitifully for Qiu Li's wontons to come out of the pot.
