"Qin Yu, what Yanzi said was unintentional, just help Uncle Zhang."
Meng Yao knew whether Qin Yu was joking or not. There was a pleading expression on her delicate face, and she looked at Qin Yu with her transparent and pure eyes.
"Yao Yao, do you really believe his lies? There are no ghosts in today's society." Zhang Yan still looked unbelieving and pulled Meng Yao's arm, telling Meng Yao not to ask Qin Yu.
"Yanzi, don't believe it, otherwise why would these chopsticks move on their own?" Meng Yao couldn't explain it to Yanzi, so she turned to Zhang Heng: "Uncle Zhang, Qin Yu really has special abilities in some aspects."
Meng Yao's words left Zhang Yan speechless. Indeed, she had overlooked an issue before, that is, the two chopsticks suddenly moved. If it was a magic trick, Qin Yu did not use props and did not use any special techniques.
, it was all done under her eyes. How could these two ordinary chopsticks move on their own?
"Ms. Meng, I'm not saying I don't believe it." Zhang Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Qin, can you explain it in detail?"
Qin Yu looked at Meng Yao, and when he saw Meng Yao's pleading eyes, he sighed inwardly, that's all, he and Zhang Yan were not competing, the other party was just a girl with little social experience.
"Actually, when I entered the store first, I felt something unusual in this store, especially this aisle. Standing here, I felt a gloomy breeze. This was obviously not due to Feng Shui or design problems. This gloomy breeze was vague.
It has a hint of ghostliness, so I just did an experiment with these chopsticks."
Qin Yu glanced at the chopsticks that were about to move to the door and said: "There is a saying for these chopsticks, they are called popular. Of course, this population does not refer to living people, but to those supernatural beings. The further the chopsticks move, the more they move.
It means the more such existences there are, judging from the distance the chopsticks are currently moving, there are at least ten of them in this shop."
Qin Yu's words were relatively soft, and only the people at their table could hear them. After hearing Qin Yu's words, Meng Yao and others couldn't help but look at the chopsticks.
"I still don't know why there are so many supernatural beings in this store. You know, places like restaurants are usually places with the strongest yang energy and are bustling with people. Such beings generally don't exist there.
If they show up in a hotel, they usually show up in the early hours of the morning when no one is in the restaurant."
Qin Yu frowned. This was what puzzled him. You must know that popularity is the nemesis of all Yin spirits. Before it becomes a physical entity, Yin spirits dare not approach the place where the popularity gathers. Otherwise, this popularity will
It is easy to disperse the soul of the Yin spirit.
"In other words, all this is just your one-sided statement. You can't provide any evidence to prove that there are ghosts in this store, right?" Zhang Yan discovered the flaw in Qin Yu's words and turned towards Qin Yu.
Yu asked.
Qin Yu didn't like Zhang Yan at all now. He pointed to the door and said, "Now wipe your eyelids with the underground water, then walk to the chopsticks and pick up the chopsticks with your hands."
"Just take it. If you don't dare, just try to make it mysterious. Let's see how I expose you."
Zhang Yan was convinced in her heart that Qin Yu was a big liar, and immediately wiped a handful of the hot water that had not yet dried up with her fingers, applied it to her eyelids, and walked towards the door.
"Qin Yu, Yanzi will be fine. Yanzi is like this. People are quick to talk, but in fact Yanzi has a kind heart. Don't be angry with her." Meng Yao shook Qin Yu's shoulders,
begged.
"There will be no problem, it's just that she doesn't believe it, so I'll just let her see it for herself." Qin Yu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, but this smile contained a hint of gloating.
Zhang Heng remained silent after listening to what Meng Yao and Qin Yu said. He thought, what could happen if his daughter went to get a pair of chopsticks? So he didn't stop him.
Zhang Yan walked to the door. The pair of chopsticks were still moving slowly. Seeing that the chopsticks were about to move out of the door, Zhang Yan squatted down and reached out to hold the chopsticks.
Seeing Zhang Yan holding the chopsticks with both hands, Qin Yu's eyes burst out with light, staring at Zhang Yan. After Zhang Yan held the pair of chopsticks, the chopsticks stopped moving. Zhang Yan turned around first.
He gave Qin Yu a provocative look, and then lifted up the chopsticks.
"ah!"
As soon as Zhang Yan lifted the chopsticks from the ground, she seemed to have seen something incredible. Her hand shook and the chopsticks fell to the ground. She screamed and sat down on the ground, her face instantly turning pale.
"I didn't mean it. I really didn't mean it."
Zhang Yan stood up from the ground tremblingly, muttering in her mouth, and ran towards Qin Yu in a panic. The waiters on the scene looked at her with puzzled faces. What happened to the boss's daughter?
?How to talk to a pair of chopsticks?
"Yanzi, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Heng hugged his daughter. The look on his daughter's face made him ask anxiously. Meng Yao also walked to Zhang Yan's side, patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder, and comforted her.
While asking Qin Yu: "Qin Yu, what's wrong with Yanzi?"
"It's nothing serious. I just saw something and was a little frightened. Just let her calm down and she will be fine." Qin Yu answered.
"Yanzi, what did you see?" After hearing Qin Yu's words, Meng Yao shook Zhang Yan's shoulders and asked.
"I saw a monster with a bull's head, right at the door, questioning me and asking me why I took down their road signs. The bull's head was so scary, and the sound was so scary."
Zhang Yan's voice was filled with tears. After hearing this, Meng Yao glanced at Qin Yu, blaming Qin Yu for scaring her best friend like this.
Qin Yu had an innocent expression on his face, and he was laughing secretly in his heart. Didn't Zhang Yan not believe in ghosts? He was just letting her see it with her own eyes.
However, Zhang Yan's words provided Qin Yu with information, a ghost with a bull's head? Qin Yu instantly thought of one in his mind, and only that one fit the description in Zhang Yan's mouth.
"Now you believe what I said." Qin Yu looked at Zhang Yan with a smile and said.
"I believe it, I believe it, Dad, we really have those things in this store!" Zhang Yan nodded hurriedly, and after finishing speaking, she grabbed Zhang Heng's arm and said eagerly.
Zhang Yan's words made Zhang Heng's face turn a little pale. Judging from his daughter's inconsistent behavior, her face turned pale with fright. This shows that there are indeed ghosts in his shop.
"Qin Yu, what should we do? Is there any way to drive those things away?" Meng Yao said for Zhang Heng what she wanted to say at the moment.
"I'm still not sure why these things are in the store, but I have a rough judgment in my mind. It will be clear by night. I need to prepare some things now."
Qin Yu looked at Zhang Heng: "Uncle Zhang, please ask the kitchen to prepare some animal sacrifices, and then buy some incense candles. When the store closes in the early morning, you can know what caused these ghosts to stay here.
Already."
"There are some in San Sheng's shop. It's easy to get them. There are a lot of things like incense and candles left when it first opened. As for closing, there are not many tables of customers in my shop anyway. Once these tables of customers leave, we will
You can close early."
Zhang Heng knew that there were ghosts in his store, so he was still in the mood to run the business. Compared with knowing the situation in his store, the loss he suffered this night was nothing at all.
Since Zhang Heng wanted to close the door early, Qin Yu would naturally have no objection. While he was talking, the food ordered by Zhang Heng had already been served, but except for Qin Yu, no one else had the appetite to eat it.
Zhang Yan, in particular, still looked shocked. Qin Yu thought for a moment whether he had gone too far. After all, Zhang Yan was also Meng Yao's best friend. She had to look at the Buddha's face even if she didn't look at the monk's face.
Finally, Qin Yu took out a talisman from his arms, which was the calming talisman that Qin Yu had used once before. He handed the calming talisman to Meng Yao and asked Meng Yao to stick it on Zhang Yan's back.
He calmed down and his pale face began to slowly turn around.
"Thank you!" Zhang Yan thanked Qin Yu sincerely this time. After putting the talisman with an unknown name on her back, she slowly calmed down and no longer felt so scared.
At this moment, she truly believed what Meng Yao said, that Qin Yu had special abilities that ordinary people did not have.
Qin Yu smiled. There are many people like Zhang Yan. The education they received since childhood has made them scorn feudal superstition. They have not experienced this kind of people personally. No matter how true you are, they will not understand.
Believe it.
By the time Qin Yu and the others finished their meal, it was already almost nine o'clock in the evening. Zhang Heng had already ordered a waiter to hang a sign on the door saying that the business was temporarily closed. Therefore, Qin Yu and the others were considered to be the last guests at the table.
While Qin Yu was finishing his meal, the chef had already prepared the three animals. These things were simple, just cooked. Zhang Heng saw Qin Yu and others finishing their meal and summoned a man who looked like a manager.
After saying a few words to the man, the man greeted all the hotel employees.
"Oh yes!"
Among the hotel employees, several younger waitresses let out a cheer. At only nine o'clock, the boss announced that they were off work. This made these girls very happy. Generally, restaurants are open until ten and thirty in the evening.
, get off work early, naturally no one will refuse.
After all the hotel staff, including several chefs, left, Zhang Heng closed the door according to Qin Yu's instructions, and then sat on the table like Meng Yao and watched Qin Yu's actions.
Meng Yao put his hands on the table, propped up his small face, and looked at his sweetheart with pride in his eyes. In Meng Yao's heart, every time Qin Yu's serious look was what attracted her the most.
Qin Yu thought for a while, cleared a square table, moved all other tables within a five-meter radius of the table, then placed the three animal sacrifices on it, lit incense candles, and placed them in the direction of the main seat of the table.
"Prepare four pairs of yin and yang chopsticks, which can be used by both yin and yin people."
Qin Yu groaned softly, picked up four pairs of chopsticks and placed them on the four sides of the table. In addition to the chopsticks, Qin Yu also placed a bowl on each side, and filled the bowls with rice wine.
"It's still early, Uncle Zhang. Before you take stock of the hotel, what are you doing here?" Qin Yu looked at the time. It was less than ten o'clock. It was still a little early. After everything last night, it was
He stopped his hand and asked Zhang Heng.
"Before? The one I took over opened a dog meat hot pot restaurant here, and the business was also booming. But the owner of the hot pot restaurant said he was going back to his hometown, and the lease term of his store was twenty years, so he planned to turn the store into
I wanted to sublet it, and I saw that the price was quite cheap. It was similar to the price the boss had rented it for seven years ago, and it hadn’t increased yet. It was quite cost-effective. Plus, I planned to open a restaurant, so I sublet it.”
"The rental price seven years ago, why would the boss be so kind as not to increase it by a penny? Uncle Zhang, have you never thought there is something fishy about it?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.
He doesn't know the housing prices here in the capital. In his hometown county, shop rents have increased several times in the past few years. Those who signed long-term store leases with developers originally did not do business themselves, so they sublet the shops.
, the rent difference alone is worth the annual income of several white-collar workers.
This is still the small county town in his hometown, the land of the capital. Needless to say, Qin Yu also knows that the rent must be rising every year. The owner of the dog meat hotpot restaurant will sublet the store at the rent price seven years ago.
Going out? I’m afraid most people wouldn’t be so stupid.
Even if the boss is eager to return to his hometown, he can definitely arrange for a trustworthy person to handle it. For such a large store, at the current rental price, I am afraid that he can earn at least a few million more, but the boss will lose these millions.
No? Qin Yu didn't believe it.
"I also thought about your question at the beginning. I also kept an eye on it and went to investigate. This dog meat hot pot restaurant has been open for seven years. The business has been very good and nothing happened. Likewise, I also
I asked friends at the City Planning Bureau that this area will not be changed within ten years, so I finally rented it."
As a man who is almost fifty, Zhang Heng's life experience far exceeds that of the young people here. He can naturally think of anything Qin Yu can think of. He even hired someone to investigate this hot pot restaurant for this purpose.
.
However, both the results of the investigation and what he saw proved that there was nothing wrong with the store. Since there was no problem with the store, the rent offered by the owner of the dog meat shop was a huge bargain for him. Zhang
Heng immediately completed the sublease procedure with the owner of the dog meat shop.
"Xiao Qin, you mean that the owner of the dog meat shop knew that there were these dirty things in his shop, so he rushed to move the shop out?" Zhang Heng suddenly thought of this possibility and asked Qin Yu.
