Hu Mei saw me staring at the photo in the report, she asked me curiously.
"This idol has not faded completely, Ma Qing has he collected enough incense?"
I shook my head, according to the "Ghosts", only when the idol is completely faded, the ghosts pretending to be gods can gather enough incense to be reincarnated without the need to be judged by the hell.
"So ... Song Li's death, is it Huang Tao's doing, or Ma Qing borrowed the knife to kill?"
Hu Mei finished his question and followed it up with a nervous question.
"Ma Qing didn't get enough incense, will he come back to you?"
"He will not come to me, first of all, in the ceremony of carving the god to dress as a statue, there is a hidden treaty, once I help Ma Qing dress as a god, my karma with him has been completed, whether he can collect enough incense, only lies in Song Li, has nothing to do with me, even if in the end he did not gather enough incense, he can not come to retaliate against me, otherwise will suffer the wrath of heaven."
Hu Mei dawned on him.
"That's why you made a special call to remind Song Li that she must not stop making offerings to the idol."
I "hmm", I was kind, but Song Li did not appreciate it.
Song Li is yesterday's incident, the black cat sheriff today issued a report, the photo of the idol in front of the offering but has been blackened and rotten, which means that Song Li has stopped offering for some time.
Perhaps she thought that she could get rid of Huang Tao's pestering by stopping offering the idol, and took my two solemn warnings completely as a deaf ear.
Seeing through this, I did not answer Hu Mei's question, because the answer is self-evident.
Hu Mei stared at me for a while and asked with concern.
"Why do you look, well, a little upset?"
I sighed.
"Song Li's death, she is to blame, then Huang Tao ... is considered to be harmed by me?"
Hu Mei skimmed his mouth.
"That kind of scum, it is better to die, living is also a scourge."
I did not answer Hu Mei's words, silent out of the tavern.
I looked up at the tavern sign and was lost in thought.
Hu Mei caught up.
"What are you thinking about?"
I pointed to the tavern sign.
"I'm thinking that sometimes, seeking mercy doesn't always lead to mercy."
Hu Mei blinked.
"You don't like the sign, huh? To be honest, I also think the name of our tavern, too literary, which is so so much perfect in this world."
She suggested.
"How about we change the name?"
"Change what?"
"How about Naruhito Tavern?"
I froze for a moment.
"Naruhito Tavern? Does it mean to kill oneself to become a human being?"
Hu Mei couldn't help but give me a white look.
"You take the 'two" out of that word ren."
Remove the two from the word ren, isn't there only a single side left ...ๆไบบ้ ้ฆ...
I am speechless, really want to name this, the guests still think we are an immodest tavern.
Hu Mei giggled.
"Just kidding."
By Hu Mei so a tease, my original dull mood soothed a lot.
The first time I did business as a ghost maker, I learned a lesson that you can't trust the words of your customers too much.
Back at the tavern, I went to the counter and placed the glasses for tomorrow's guests, ahead of time, on the countertop for Hu Mei's use.
Was busy, I suddenly found that the glazed brave on the counter, there is a change.
"Hu Mei, come here."
Hu Mei walked quickly.
"What's wrong?"
I pointed to the mouth of the brave and inquired.
"Did you take the gold coins out of the envelope and put them here?"
At the moment, the brave's mouth, containing a uniquely shaped gold coin, with a gentle push, it can fall into the brave's stomach.
Hu Mei looked confused.
"No. ..."
I opened the drawer and took out the envelope my landlord had left me.
I opened the seal, poured it down, and a gold coin landed on the counter and spun around several times.
Not the same one!
I carefully took out the gold coin that was in the brave's mouth and compared it with the gold coin that the landlord left me.
Exactly the same!
I was alert and looked around.
Who put the gold coins in the mouth of the brave? The guests who came to the tavern to spend money today? But Hu Mei has been mixing drinks inside the counter, if it was put by a guest, she can certainly find out.
I looked at the gold coin in my hand and felt more and more bizarre.
Hu Mei said.
"Our landlord, I'm afraid, is not an ordinary person! But we don't have to worry too much, he wants us to pay our rent in gold coins, and now we have an extra gold coin, which is a good thing."
That is true, but I think, things are not so simple.
After studying for a while, there was no discovery, *** simply stuffed both gold coins into the brave's mouth and pushed hard.
Snap!
The gold coin falls into the belly of the brave, making a crisp sound.
Three days later, early in the morning, I just got up and opened the door of the tavern to see a man of about forty years old, reading the job posting I had placed on the door.
This man is very thin, thin face cheekbones are protruding.
His appearance is very scruffy, with a big greasy head, a bearded face, and clothes that are not only wrinkled but also have many stains visible to the naked eye.
He heard me open the door and looked up, with eyes that were full of fatigue.
The man was the first to open his mouth.
"Are you the boss?"
I said yes, and he pointed to the job posting.
"I would like to apply for a job as a cook in your tavern."
Job posting for so long, finally someone to apply for the job, but the image of the man in front of me, is really some of my compliments.
If he sits under the flyover, then a broken bowl in front of him, that he is a beggar for food I believe.
"Do you ... line?"
The man answered me with confidence.
"Boss, as the saying goes, people can't look like people, sea water can't be measured, you recruit chefs, you look at the chef's cooking skills rather than his image, right?"
He succeeded in convincing me.
"Okay, you try it first!"
I led the man into the tavern, Hu Mei rushed out at the sound of her voice, she was wearing sexy pajamas, her hair was messy because of sleeping pressure, there was a different kind of beauty.
I was surprised to find that when the man saw Hu Mei, there were no fluctuations in his eyes, and he even looked at Hu Mei for only a second before moving away.
It's the first time I've seen a man who can resist the beauty of Hu Mei.
I glared at Hu Mei.
"Change your clothes!"
Hu Mei spit out his tongue at me, trotted back to the house, and then came back, the man was already busy in the kitchen.
Just see him skillfully chopping and stir-frying vegetables, and in a short while, three home-cooked small dishes were ready.
"Boss, try it!"
I took out two pairs of chopsticks, handed one to Hu Mei, then took a bite of the dish and put it in my mouth...
Once the dish was in my mouth, I was amazed, because the dish, it was so good!
I grew up in charge of cooking for the master, I think I can cook, but to compare with this scruffy man in front of me, it is a small witch.
Hu Mei was also praised repeatedly.
"Yummy! It's so delicious!"
I put down my chopsticks and asked the man.
"What's your name?"
"Li Guang."
