Chapter 23: Cucumbers
"People gnaw?" Li Lanxin and Zheng Dongxi said in unison.
"Who?" After speaking, Zheng Shixi looked around suspiciously, the inn was closed tightly every day, where did the others come from.
Besides, even if there is someone, who must be able to hide his perception.
After saying the words, the two looked at Liu Yuan at the same time, with serious expressions.
But when he heard the latter, he suddenly laughed: "Haha, I gnawed it, I came out to admire the moon yesterday, and I was hungry to find something to eat, and I didn't finish eating, and I was left here." ”
"It's just to scare you two, and I'm really scared. ”
"...... "Li Lanxin and Zheng Shixi, you look at me, I look at you, sweating profusely......
Both shook their heads and walked out the door, and they could still be heard talking when they left the kitchen.
Zheng Dongxi said: "Lan Xin, you are the eldest lady, you should know the more powerful doctors in the county, take the shopkeeper to see the disease." ”
Seeing that Li Lan was worried, he said: "The shopkeeper's situation is probably crazy, the medicine stone is useless, and the ordinary doctor is useless, so he has to ask the Taoist monk to recite the scriptures to him." ”
"Well, that's exactly what I said. Zheng Dongxi nodded, and said solemnly: "Coincidentally, the third uncle of the shopkeeper is the only fortune teller in Qingchuan County, and it seems that he is still a disciple of Ziwei Mountain." ”
"That's right......" The conversation became quieter and quieter, and after Li Lanxin finished speaking, both of them walked out of the backyard.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two don't have any sense of humor, just kidding. Liu Yuan stood in front of the threshold of the kitchen and yelled loudly towards the front hall.
Although he said so, Liu Yuan did not have the slightest smile on his face.
Instead, he recalled the events of last night and avoided adding a burden to Zheng and the East, so he deliberately said so.
Of course, the most important thing is that after the two of them misunderstood, they quit and finally recruited the two guys.
Then Liu Yuan remembered the new elite-level mission description on the pendant.
Roughly speaking, as the shopkeeper of the inn, you have to fully understand your inn, there has been an abnormality in the inn, find and solve it within seven days, and the task is completed.
When he first took over this inn, Liu Yuan looked at everything except the warehouse that he didn't have time to see, and he didn't find anything wrong.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Liu Yuan suddenly felt creepy.
Slowly walked in front of Liu Tuanfeng, reached out and touched the latter's head and ear, and whispered: "Donkey, donkey, what did you see last night." ”
Liu Shufeng snorted, shook his head, stomped his hooves and walked to the side, as if to say: Hmph, you didn't believe me yesterday, but now you feel that something is wrong.
Leaving the stable, Liu Yuan looked around the yard again, but found nothing unusual.
Finally, when I returned to the kitchen, I searched carefully, and found nothing but traces of rats.
The geese have left a voice, and the people have left traces, how can there be nothing left.
Liu Yuan wondered in his heart, could it really be that he had provoked something evil.
When I was a child, I heard that donkeys can see things that people can't see, and wiping donkey tears can have the same effect.
Of course, these are all told to him by the third uncle, and it is unknown whether there are any elements of fabrication or scaring children.
But with the unreliable appearance of the third uncle, I think there should be.
As for whether the steamed bun was gnawed by someone, Liu Yuan dared to guarantee that he would not admit his mistake.
Once a member of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion, he still has this confidence.
It's hard for him to say whether it's a person or a ghost, and no one has ever seen a ghost.
Originally, Liu Yuan didn't believe it, but what happened today and contacted last night was a little too evil.
There are also strange tasks on the pendant, which is really exciting to think about.
Do you have to find some Taoist priest to do the practice, and after carefully searching the backyard again, but still to no avail, Liu Yuan thought in his heart.
But now it's not a few years ago, Taoist monks are hard to find, and Taoist sects and Buddhism have been served by the saints.
Most of the Taoist priests he can meet are charlatans, among whom his third uncle is relatively powerful.
Well, you have to take this matter to heart, continue to investigate and keep an eye out for Taoist priests.
Seeing that it was almost noon after this delay, Liu Yuan packed up his mood and walked out.
Looking around, he didn't see Zheng Dongxi, and asked Li Lanxin, "What about others?"
"Find a doctor for the shopkeeper...... Ah, no, I went grocery shopping. Li Lanxin came out casually, quickly stopped her mouth and smiled at Liu Yuan again.
"......" Liu Yuan nestled comfortably into the Luo Circle chair and pinched his eyebrows a little tiredly.
I took out a cucumber from behind the wine jar on the left-hand side, and it was crunchy, and I don't know when it was hidden inside.
Li Lanxin, who was next to her, swallowed her saliva, and said to Liu Yuan while wiping the table: "Shopkeeper, give me half a root." ”
"Here, here you go. Hearing this, Liu Yuan touched another one from behind the wine jar, handed it over, and didn't forget to say: "What's the matter, your shopkeeper is bold." ”
Li Lanxin, who was originally happy to take the cucumber, couldn't help but pouted when she heard the words: "A cucumber can also be linked to the word bold, how picky you are in the shopkeeper." ”
Poor Miss Li, begging to eat a cucumber is about to bubble beautifully.
Liu Yuan smiled and didn't care, and began to rethink in his heart whether he was majestic in front of the guys.
After eating the cucumbers, Zheng Shiwu also came back with fresh vegetables.
Clapped his hands, Liu Yuan took the dishes and went to the backyard to deal with them, and vaguely heard Li Lanxin behind him whisper: "What happened to the doctor you found for the shopkeeper......
It's been a few days since the notice was posted, but I haven't recruited any new guys or cooks, and I have to cook the dishes myself.
In the inn under the world, a shopkeeper like him must be the only one.
When he came to the backyard again, although it was broad daylight, Liu Yuan always felt like there were 'people' staring at him.
At noon, the guests came one after another, and Zheng Dongxi could be heard standing at the door shouting: "Guest officer, please come inside." ”
Well, there is indeed progress, it is stronger than a few days ago, but it sounds a little numb, Liu Yuan looked at the guests at the door and thought.
There is only one regular customer who came today, Wang Dashan, and none of the four came yesterday.
If you want to buy a tael of silver for a piece of boiled fish, not everyone can eat it every day.
It may be that Wu Er made trouble, and then he was stained with the light of Li Lanxin, the daughter of the county commander, so that the fame of boiled fish in seven perfumes spread.
The guests who came ordered this fish, but unfortunately Liu Yuan would not change the rule of selling only three servings a day. When there are not many dishes provided by the pendant, the mystery of this dish cannot be consumed too much, and it is impossible to dry up and fish.
"What, only three copies?" said a tall, thin man in surprise.
"Yes, the three guests before you have already ordered. Zheng Dongxi nodded and said.
"What a broken place, specially here to eat, it's not for sale, brother go, let's not eat." The woman beside the man looked up, took the man's arm and walked out.
