Chapter 333: The Ghost Eats (Part II)
"It was nearly ten o'clock, and another guy in a black shirt and a padded jacket came in, he was also very tall and thin, but not the same as the one who had entered the door. This face is relatively white, and at first glance, these two people are a bit similar, that is, their faces are black and white. The white-faced man said that it was snowing heavily outside, and it was very cold, and there were thirteen of them in all, all of them. Then, the black-faced man said, go and boil a big pot of hot and sour soup, and after a while the gang will eat, they will have to have some soup to help digestion. I went into the back kitchen and made hot and sour soup with Yoshiko. When I came out again, I was stupid, guess what I saw? ”
Su Crazy and I said in unison: "What do you see? ”
"What I saw was that except for the two men with black faces and white faces, who were steadily clinking glasses and drinking, all the food on the table was swept away, and all the food was eaten and wiped clean. Why am I so sure I'm eating clean? That's because, the chicken bones with fish bones and spicy chicken dices are all left on the table, and the food is so clean! I really can't figure it out, Yoshiko and I were busy in the kitchen, that is, five or six minutes of work, three tables full of twenty-nine dishes, all of which were eaten......"
Su laughed madly and teased: "Hehe, it's not a big deal, they are all hungry ghosts, it's just that these hungry ghosts can eat more than I imagined." ”
"What? Starving ghosts. Li Dongdong said a word in disbelief, and then continued: "I saw that this meal was eaten cleanly, so I asked this black-faced person, is it the two of them who ate it?" They replied to me that they ate it, and they all sat at the table, and they praised your food for its deliciousness. I was really frightened, I didn't dare to say anything, the white-faced man said, don't be afraid, these people are all hungry ghosts, let them eat enough, and then report with us. After saying that, the white-faced one said hello, and the leather curtain of the gate was lifted by itself, and the door was opened, and we saw someone go out, but the goose feather snow was falling, and I saw some snowflakes floating in the air and not moving. When they were gone, I stood outside the door and looked at them for a while, and in an instant they were gone. When I came back, the food was still on the plates and bowls, but I went to eat it, and it didn't taste, as if I hadn't let go of the condiments. ”
After he finished speaking, I was almost full, took a napkin and wiped my mouth, and said: "It's normal that you can't see, the ghosts are all spirits, and people with mortal eyes can't see them, you say that the snowflakes are floating in the air, but in fact they are not, it is the snowflakes that fall on the spirits of those starving ghosts." Those ghosts are spirits, and if they can't eat food, they will eat the taste at most. ”
Liu Huifang asked me again, "Little Xuzi, you say, why did our family encounter such an evil thing?" ”
"Aunt Fang, don't think it's strange, the underworld is similar to our yang world. The black and white faces who came to eat at your restaurant that day were actually the yin of the underworld, and they were just going to bring the detained ghosts down that day, and it just so happened that these ghosts were starving to death, and they were just passing by you for a light meal. There is no malice, it will not affect you, and besides, people really sent you money, and the money given to you that day was real money, not dark money, right? ”
Liu Huifang nodded and replied yes.
"Then there's no problem, these two Hades are really here to take care of your business." I said.
"That little Xuzi, why is the food in our restaurant either light or tasteless since then?"
"Because, the starving ghost who stays in your house to eat, has no substance, but it can eat the taste of your food. Whenever you make a delicious meal, he climbs on this wooden beam to eat the smell of the food, so that the people who come to your house to eat either have no taste or have a weak taste. The taste is eaten by the hungry ghosts. ”
Su Madness asked her back, "Auntie, have you ever heard the sound of rustling on the beams of your house?" ”
"Yes, especially, after the two of them had eaten with the starving ghosts. It's like a gentleman living in my restaurant. Originally, the business of our restaurant was very good, but after the food in my restaurant tasted wrong, the business plummeted. ”
I coughed, took a sip and said: "It is true that there was a problem that day, at the end of last year, the yin of the underworld also came up to my master, saying that after taking a group of yin spirits down to the earth, I found that one was missing, and asked my master to look for it in the yang world." As a result, I haven't found it, and it just so happened that my brother and I came to your place for dinner and found it, and I think it should be the yin ghost that was lost by mistake. ”
Li Dongdong looked at us incredulously and asked, "Did you find that starving ghost?" Where? ”
"Here!" Su Madness pointed to the soul collector in his hand.
Li Dongdong still didn't understand and asked: "It's strange, why didn't I see you catch it." ”
I said, "There's nothing strange about this, you and Aunt Fang are ordinary people, mortal people with the naked eye, and you can't see these evil things without drinking endless water or wiping your eyes with grapefruit leaves." ”
"And what are you going to do with this starving ghost?" Li Dongdong asked again.
My answer was very official, "After we go back, we will ask the Yin Cha of Hades to come up and hand over this starving ghost who has slipped through the net to be dealt with by Yin Cha." After all, people are the enforcers of the underworld, and we living people have no power to deal with ghosts with identities. ”
After listening to my answer, Li Dongdong didn't say anything more, but Liu Huifang sighed.
"Hey, my family Dongzi and I have been tossing hard for decades, and we have become accustomed to living on our restaurant, and we finally supported our restaurant, but we got a ghost to eat. If you want our restaurant to be as prosperous as before, I'm afraid it's impossible? ”
After speaking, he glanced at Li Dongdong and scolded, "You thing, why don't you let the ghost come to us for dinner?" Look at the ghost business you're taking. ”
I said, "Actually, it's also to blame you two for being too picky, since you have noticed that there is an abnormality on the hanging beam of your restaurant, you should light a few sticks of incense to worship it." This ghost has no hobby but gluttony, and if you really worship it a few times, it will leave with interest. ”
Liu Huifang still sighed and said, "Hey, forget it, we have no wealth in our lives, so we can only accept our fate like this." Originally, I wanted to hold on for a while longer and take care of my restaurant. Today, the two of you came to dinner and took this starving ghost for me, and I knew what was going on. That's it, I'll quit this shop tomorrow, it's really not a good business! ”
I quipped: "Aunt Fang, why be discouraged, your skills are very good, besides, you and our Uncle Dong have been working in restaurants for most of their lives, and they don't cook and sell food!" What can you two do? ”
Seeing the helpless eyes of the two of them, I said, "Well, I want to ask you to do me a favor first!" ”
Liu Huifang asked, "What's busy?" ”
"I left home when I was seven years old, and I haven't been back, although, our Heavenly Master Pavilion is not very far from the city. However, I really rarely come back, and I thought about meeting my mom and dad first this time. Moreover, I have already received a marriage certificate, and I am also a person with a wife. It's just that I haven't brought my daughter-in-law to see my parents, and when I meet my parents, I will inevitably have to put dozens of tables on the table, Aunt Fang, your skills are so good, and our Uncle Dong is so diligent, you guys, take me off the file of getting married and cooking. By the way, I can also promote it to my relatives, maybe, our shop can come alive again, isn't it? ”
After listening to my words, Liu Huifang smiled, praised me for being smart, and said that my father was blessed to give birth to such a capable and smart doll as me, and immediately agreed.
"Little Xuzi, you are such a smart doll, thank you for thinking about your aunt. Don't worry, when you get married, tell your aunt, when the time comes, your uncle and I will be out of business for a day, and I will go to your wedding banquet and promise to do this job well for you! ”
Li Dongdong also echoed on the side, "Your Aunt Fang is right, the matter of your wedding banquet is wrapped up in the two of us, you go back and bring it to your father!" Just say that he is always welcome to come to our restaurant again for a drink. ”
I stood up, made an oK gesture to both of them, and said, "Words, I'll bring it, let's go first!" ”
Su Crazy and I didn't stop any longer, we went out of the restaurant directly, and stopped a taxi to go back to our Tianshi Pavilion, but the driver refused to take it, and said that it was so late that he wouldn't go down to the county.
At this time, the two of us realized that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, so we asked the driver to take us to a nearby all-seasons hotel.
When we arrived at the place, the two of us each opened a room, did not disturb each other, and lay on the bed to date Zhou Gong......
