Tie Kuan Zhang's words, so Hu Mei immediately changed his face, her eyes containing anger, clenched pink fist.
If she still had her cultivation, she might have already made her move, but now she has no cultivation at all and can only hold her breath.
I once again blocked the view of the iron abductor Zhang.
"I'm the one who asked you to borrow money."
Iron Crutch Zhang mocked me.
"Kid, it's not that the old man is unruly, it's really too risky to lend you, you have such a beautiful fox demon by your side, maybe three months have not yet arrived, she will be sucked dry of Yang Qi, then, the old man to find who to pay back?
Do you still not know that the fastest way for a fox demon to regain her cultivation is to seduce a man into bed and suck their essence."
When he finished, he reached out and took hold of his iron crutch.
My right hand is slightly bent, which is a code word I discussed with the four ghosts, as soon as I clench my fist, they will show up and tear Tie Gu Zhang to pieces.
But Iron Crutch Zhang didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything, he just stood up and walked outside.
"If you don't agree, the old man will leave."
"Wait!"
Hu Mei shouted to stop the iron abductor Zhang, she gritted her teeth and said.
"I promise!"
Tie Kuan Zhang looked at her beautiful face, stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.
"Then it's a deal. In three months, I'll be back to collect the money."
He reached into his pocket, felt a few times, and then pulled out a round stack of paper money cut out of yellow paper.
I asked him in a deep voice.
"Senior, this joke of yours, isn't it a bit too big?"
Iron Crutch Zhang approached me.
"Unseen boy, hold out your hand."
I held out my hand, and his hand grasping the paper money slapped it towards my palm.
Snap!
The thick feeling came from my palm, I took a closer look, where there is any paper money, at the moment I put on the palm of my hand, is nine stacks of yards of red banknotes.
"You count, if a few are missing, the old man will not recognize it when he goes out."
Although Tie Kuan Zhang was talking to me, but his lecherous eyes, never left Hu Mei.
I picked up a pile of money from the middle and first took a quick count, a whole hundred.
I then drew another one at random and carefully examined it, and it was a real bill.
The rest of the money, I did not continue to test.
"The number is right, do I need to give you an IOU?"
Iron Crutch Zhang gave a ghastly laugh.
"Hey, hey, what IOU, in Quancheng, no one has ever dared to disown the old man's account."
Iron Crutch Zhang, with his cane, walked out of the tavern and re-entered the sedan chair made of paper mache.
I heard the sound of clapping coming from the palanquin, and the originally motionless paper tie turned around and lifted the palanquin in the direction it came from.
The mourning music started again and the palanquin got farther and farther away.
Back at the tavern, the four ghosts showed up and the long-tongued female ghost said to me.
"You should be glad there was no conflict just now. That old man, it's not easy."
I nodded and refilled the four ghosts into the kettle.
I said to Hu Mei.
"Commiserate."
Hu Mei shook his head.
"This is our two business, who signed the same, did not you say, really can not earn money, to sell those good wine, is also able to pay back."
She paused for a moment and her tone turned a little nervous.
"We fox spirits can indeed recover our cultivation by absorbing a man's yang energy, but I really didn't want to do that to you."
Thinking about the images of Hu Mei seducing me over the past two days, for a while I didn't know if I should trust her.
"Go to bed early, we have to go in tomorrow."
"Good."
I put the money away, went back to my room to sleep, and early the next morning, Hu Mei and I left the house.
We inquired about a wholesale liquor market, take the bus to go to the market, I let Hu Mei to pick wine, after all, she has experience as a bartender, always know more than I, a layman.
Hu Mei work very attentively, before leaving she made a list of wine for the purchase, the selection of goods, but also to open the bottle to personally taste to determine the authenticity of the wine.
We bought a total of $30,000 in stock and some basic bartending utensils, as well as wine glasses.
When we find the car to bring the goods back to the tavern, and then carefully sorted after the table, it is dark.
Hu Mei and I split up, she went to the print store to create a wine list for the guests while I went to the supermarket and bought some groceries.
I cooked and stir-fried two dishes, the two of us did not bother to eat at noon, are wolfing down, in addition to vegetable soup, not even a grain of rice left.
After eating, Hu Mei touched his somewhat bulging belly and sighed.
"Chen Jiu, you are a good cook, according to this way of eating, I will have to eat fat sooner or later."
I got up to clean up the dishes, but Hu Mei snatched them away.
"I'll brush it, I can't let you do everything."
In the back kitchen, Hu Mei asked me as she brushed the dishes.
"When are we opening?"
"Tomorrow!"
"Then you go tomorrow to buy a few firecrackers, the opening has to be lively to do."
I answered and went back to my room.
Instead of sleeping, I found the book "The Book of Ghosts" and read it carefully.
Within a month, I had to finish the first image of the gods, so whenever I had free time, I had to study hard.
The text in the book is obscure and difficult to understand. Without a master to teach me, I had to comprehend it myself.
Reading through the book again, I had learned 70% of what was in it...
There are four steps in total to carve a statue and pretend to be a god.
The first step is to find the customer who wants to buy the idol.
The second step, according to the needs of the guests, the selection of the ghost pretending to be a god, the ghost is not just grab a random, its life must have common with the wishes of the guests.
The third step is to carve the idol, carving the gods and goddesses, again to meet the needs of the guests.
The fourth step is to use the secret method on the "Ghostly Talisman" to disguise the little ghost as a god and merge it with the statue.
Each of these four steps is difficult, and what I desperately need at the moment is to find customers, and to learn carving techniques.
I read a book until 4:00 a.m., before falling asleep, and the next day was awakened by the sound of Hu Mei looking at the door.
"Chen Jiu, it's already the time and you still don't get up, I'm dying of hunger."
I got up and opened the door and found that Hu Mei had painted her makeup today.
She was already born charming, after painting the makeup, more bright and beautiful.
Hu Mei asked me with a smile.
"Nice, isn't it?"
I subconsciously nodded my head.
"Why are you wearing makeup?"
She gave me a blank look.
"Of course it's for the opening! Go and cook! It's our first day in business today, get pumped up!"
I simply washed up, cooked a porridge, and after breakfast, I went out and bought firecrackers.
At 11:00 a.m., the streets were crowded and I set the firecrackers out of the way and set them alight.
The firecrackers crackled and drew a lot of onlookers.
Hu Mei shouted.
"Seek Ren Tavern opening today to reward guests, all customers who enter the store consumption, free to send a bottle of beer!"
Perhaps impressed by the free beer, perhaps attracted by the beauty of Hu Mei, there are really quite a few people into the tavern.
The tavern, which has been cold for eighteen years, is once again bustling with activity.
