I will mourn King Kong in my heart for the rest of my life.
"Shopkeeper Yu, I haven't seen you for a day, I just don't want to eat or drink..."
Zhou Jiuzhang stepped into the inn with one step, looked up and saw Aunt Qing and immediately stopped, then stepped back and left the inn.
He asked Yu Sheng, who was standing at the door, "Who is the woman inside?"
For some reason, Zhou Jiuzhang felt a little frightened the first time he saw her.
"My little..." Yu Sheng said halfway, then paused and said, "My little sister."
"Little sister?" Zhou Jiuzhang looked over and said, "I must have seen her."
As Zhou Jiuzhang stepped into the inn, two more waves of people came in behind him, one coming from Yangzhou alone.
He sat on the stool and asked Bai Xingxin to serve the inn's specialty dishes without saying a word, focusing on a kind of steamed buns, "the ones with soup inside."
"Understood, soup dumplings are unique to our inn." Bai Gaoxing added: "Our inn also has a specialty dish, which is always available in one dish. Do you want to try it?"
The guest paused, nodded and said, "Have some."
Another wave came from the wilderness road, and they carried people in.
"Quick, call the witch doctor, someone is injured." they shouted as they came in.
"There is a doctor." Ye Zi pressed up to him. Seeing that the injured person was a girl, he couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Cao'er, hurry up."
Cao'er and Liuliu stood up and said, "Move to the backyard."
A group of people moved their companions to the backyard, leaving one person behind to pack their things.
Bai Gaoxing saw the opportunity and asked, "What's going on?"
"I met one on the south side of the graveyard and sealed it," the passerby who stayed behind said in shock.
The guests present said: "Let's not let people live anymore. There is a Taotie on the west road, and there is a demon city on the east road. Now there is another one and they are blocked."
The demon city refers to the city in the mountains to the north. The city owner is a demon king who regularly asks the people to sacrifice boys and girls.
Bai Gaoxing was puzzled, "Then the Demon King also makes trouble for travelers?"
"It's not a good place. You have to pay tolls to get through, otherwise you will be attacked by monsters." The guest said.
"Can't we take a detour?"
"No, the demon city is between two mountains. If you pass through the city, you can quickly leave the northern mountains. If you take a detour, you have to enter the mountains."
In comparison, the monsters in the mountains are more terrifying.
Someone complained: "How can we allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed? Why doesn't the Lord of Yangzhou get rid of this monster?"
"I heard that the demon participated in the Battle of Long Bo, and his strength is probably far superior to that of Yangzhou City Lord." The guest said, "It's lucky that Yangzhou City was not occupied."
"Life is not easy after all." Everyone sighed.
"Hey." Aunt Qing sat on the long table and curled her lips in disdain.
When she saw Zhou Jiuzhang looking at her, she glared, scaring away Zhou Jiuzhang who was sitting opposite her.
"I must have seen her before, that look is so familiar."
Zhou Jiuzhang muttered and ran to the backyard to play with the dog. He saw it grinding its paws under the thick laurel tree in the corner of the yard and eager to try.
At the fork of the laurel tree, the black cat Sheriff brothers were encouraging it with "meows".
Seeing that the dog was just grinding its claws but could not come up, the two cats became anxious, and the police chief actually tried to bark the dog with a "whimper".
Zhou Jiuzhang was stunned and said to Yu Sheng who happened to come out: "You two cats are about to become monsters."
"It's just learning a foreign language, what's all the fuss about." Yu Sheng took a piece of tofu and went back to the kitchen.
"Where's my food?" A single guest from Yangzhou urged him in the lobby.
"Here it comes, here it comes." Bai Gaoxing got into the back kitchen and brought up a plate of soup dumplings.
The guest looked carefully and saw that the buns were thin and white, as transparent as fine porcelain, and the soup fillings were faintly visible. Sure enough, they were not made by breaking them open and filling them with soup stock.
Born in Xunweizhai, the guests are observed very carefully.
He secretly counted and found that there were thirty-two pleats on all the buns, which looked like white chrysanthemums on the white porcelain plate of the inn.
At this time, he realized that the porcelain plate was not ordinary, even the most exquisite plate from Xunweizhai could not compare with it.
"Do you want to take one back?" The guest was still thinking secretly, but he had already picked up one with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Hiss", the warmth on his hands woke him up, and the fresh soup flowed onto his fingers along the chopsticks.
"This soup is so delicious." He didn't bother to wipe his fingers, he already had a high evaluation of this dish in his heart, no less than any noodles in Xunweizhai.
The guest sucked the soup from his fingers, looked around and secretly regretted it, "This dish is beautiful and delicious. If it is at least consistent at Xunweizhai, it would be a pity here."
After tasting the soup dumplings, Mapo Tofu was served again, and he was already addicted after just one bite.
"Waiter, is this tofu?" the guest asked Bai Xingxing, who was serving the dish, "is it the most common dish?"
"It's tofu." Bai Gaoxing put the fried vegetables on the table, "But this dish is worth it."
The guest was startled, so he picked one up with chopsticks and said, "Is this a green vegetable?"
"Yes." Bai nodded happily.
The guest put a piece of green vegetable into his mouth suspiciously. After chewing it for a while, he was stunned, not because of the taste of the dish, but because of the spiritual power in the dish.
Just based on the spiritual power in the dish, it is already worth the money. Even five guan can be sold at Xunweizhai. After all, cultivators are not short of money.
"Who is your shopkeeper and who is your cook?" The guest couldn't wait to ask, "Can you let me see you?"
"Our shopkeeper is the cook." Bai Gaoxing said, "Just meet him, I will accept your admiration on behalf of the shopkeeper."
At this time, Baozi ran in with five cents in his hand, "Xiaobai, come on, let's get a plate of green vegetables."
"You called me Xiaobai, no matter how big or small." Bai Gaoxing grabbed five cents and handed it to Aunt Qing, then went back to the kitchen.
"Green vegetables, five cents?" the guest asked the buns, pointing to the fried vegetables in front of him.
"That's right." Baozi sat down and looked at the chef eagerly. He couldn't forget it since he tasted it last time.
The customer was surprised, "I only have so much money!"
Baozi was not surprised and said proudly: "This is our friendship price. Do you understand the friendship price? It is the price of friendship."
"Your friendship is worth five cents?" the guest joked.
Baozi was stunned. There seemed to be nothing wrong. Then this friendship was too cheap, right?
At this time, Yu Sheng brought out the dishes and said, "Baozi, where did you get your money?"
"I didn't steal it this time, my dad gave it to me." Baozi took the plate, turned around and ran away.
"Remember to return the plate and sell it to me again. I'll beat you up." Yu Sheng warned him from behind.
The inn doesn't sell any dishes, but there are many people who are happy to see them. Last time, the red-turbaned dwarf in the Daqin people's food team was one of them.
At that time, Baozi happened to steal ten cents from home to satisfy his craving. Yu Sheng thought his father ate it, so he asked him to take the plate back.
Unexpectedly, after this boy led a group of people to share the tofu in the temple, he turned around and sold the plate to the dwarf with a red turban for thirty cents.
He went back and put the ten cents in the same place. When Yu Sheng remembered asking him for the plate, he said he had broken it and Yu Sheng did not pursue it.
This guy just made twenty cents without knowing it.
Later, when his mother took out ten coins while doing laundry, he discovered the incident, and then he confessed the matter to his father and mother in a mixed double beating.
"Waiter, don't clean up, I'm going out for a while." The guest told Yu Sheng and ran out of the inn.
Yu Sheng was displeased, "What's the look in his eyes? Have you ever seen such an imposing waiter?"
