an hour later...
Spoon lay prostrated on the table, crying miserably: "I'm a ghost... a ghost! Can you look up at me and pretend to be taken aback, it's okay, I don't want to hurt people like this."
Vaguely, the spoon seemed to see the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, with a slight curvature, clearly trying to hold back a smile! The spoon tilted his head, and looked at him with the face that had been washed away by tears and turned colorful: "Stupid scholar, you can see me, right?"
In a daze, he saw him turn a page of the book calmly, there was no smile on his lips. The spoon scratched his head, could it be an illusion
The frightening method failed, Shao Shao sat cross-legged in the yard, and everyone gathered in a circle and frowned to find a way. Xin Niang clapped her hands suddenly, suddenly: "No, Grandpa has already gone back to the countryside. If we scare him away, won't this inn be watched by no one?"
One word awakened the dreamer, and Shaozi became melancholy again.
Thinking that they will be ravaged by scholars for another eighty years, all the monsters are also depressed.
"No!" Shaozi stood up abruptly, the wind blew across the border, her clothes fluttered, and the beauty confused others, she clapped her fists and said firmly, "I want to protect this inn for Grandpa!"
"Boss, haven't you been guarding?"
"It's different this time. I kicked them out in the middle of the night when the little demons came to make trouble, but I can't help during the day. Look at that stupid scholar who came to water the water at noon. It's really unreliable. The inn will reopen tomorrow. It's going to be a mess."
Fat Gourd asked, "Boss, what are you doing?"
The spoon made two hecks, took a step, and landed on the ground again. She was already a playful girl who had washed off her makeup. She was wearing plain clothes and her hair was lightly tied in a bun. She looked like a girl next door: "I'm going to apply for the second class!"
"..."
Boss, are you sure you are not going to make trouble...
After three shots in the sun, the spoon was almost dried out as peonies at the door, and the scholar hadn't opened the door yet. She used her sleeves as a fan to drive away the surging heat from around her. After waiting for another half an hour, I almost jumped into the scholar's room and covered his face with mud. She sat on the stone steps in front of the door, burying her head and drawing circles on the ground bored.
The bright daylight was suddenly covered by someone, looked up, saw the person standing behind the backlight, swallowed, it turned out to be that stupid scholar. How did he come by the front door? Didn't he come back last night? But why didn't he notice when he went out.
Spoon's face was almost wrinkled, this guy didn't guard the inn for the first night! What if a thief comes in and steals something? It's really unreliable.
The scholar smiled: "Is the girl staying or eating? Or just resting here?"
Spoon patted his butt and stood up, correcting him: "Inn lingo should be 'stay or stay at the tip', otherwise people will bully you as a layman, eat free food, and run away halfway. Also, I'm here to apply for the second class."
After finishing speaking, he raised the red paper he had just peeled off in his hand.
The scholar smiled and asked, "Do you eat a lot?"
The spoon thought for a while: "Not much, one bowl for one meal."
The scholar nodded happily: "Okay, it's you."
The spoon is dumbfounded, it's that simple? Then why did she memorize the entire inn rules last night? She specially learned eighteen cooking skills from Sister Du Juan for what! This scholar is too unreliable, Shaozi became more and more angry.
After opening the door of the inn, the scholar sat in the shopkeeper's seat and took a book to read. The spoon stood there for a while and asked, "Isn't it opening today?"
The scholar nodded: "Isn't this already open?"
The corner of the spoon's mouth twitched slightly: "... don't let a firecracker fight, and don't invite a lion dance to congratulate?"
The scholar touched his chin and shook his head: "It's too troublesome."
Shaozi was in deep despair. He was not only a stupid scholar, but also a lazy one. Silently clenching her fists, the inn really still has to be guarded by her!
"Oh, yes, I don't know the girl's name yet."
"Call me Spoon."
The scholar smiled slightly: "Good name."
The door was open for half a day, but no one came. Because the cook is the old shopkeeper, regular customers came in and saw that the old shopkeeper was not there, but he was a young man, so they knew that this inn was no longer the original inn, and the food was naturally not the same as before, so they immediately left.
Spoon lay on the table with great sadness, and fell into a drowsy sleep. It's better than before. Although it won't be full, at least there are still guests.
Hearing someone entering the store in a daze, he sniffed and almost jumped up. Immediately, a piece of clothes rolled off her body, she looked down, the long gown belonged to a man, sniffed it again, and couldn't help frowning, when did the scholar put the clothes on her? She didn't feel it at all... She couldn't help but think about it, she turned her head and looked outside, and saw a young woman walking in with light steps, her voice was low: "But there are still vacant rooms."
The scholar said with a smile: "Yes. Spoon, take the guests to Tianzihao."
The spoon paused, and then said: "Girl, please follow me."
The woman responded with a low voice, followed her upstairs and entered the Tianzihao room. The spoon withdrew, looked at the cold and gloomy atmosphere in the room, and went back to the yard thoughtfully.
As soon as she entered, Xin Niang had already transformed into the ground, wearing a big red robe sweeping across the floor, her heavy make-up was smeared without being tacky, she had a thousand styles, but she spoke very seriously: "Just now there seems to be a monster coming into the store."
Shaozi replied, "It's just a female ghost, nothing to be afraid of."
As a flower demon with only three hundred years of cultivation, and because she is also known as the flower fairy Peony, her pure aura is not comparable to ordinary grass and tree demons. With her innate cultivation and high understanding, she is said to be three A hundred years, actually seven or eight hundred years of demon power, ordinary little demons can't help her. As long as there are no crooked seedlings in the future, becoming a fairy is not difficult.
After hearing this, Xin Niang clapped her hands meaningfully: "Female ghost... Boss can't use the old method this time."
The corner of the spoon's mouth twitched: "Hmph!"
It's just that after observing for a few days, Shao Zi found that the female ghost was very peaceful. Occasionally going out and not eating when he came back, the scholar didn't even ask. The spoon was angry, if he knew how to do business, he should have asked the guests if they wanted to eat.
Shaozi felt that the accumulated grievances against the scholar would definitely increase... Sooner or later, he couldn't help but try to get rid of him...
Because a female ghost lives in the store, Shaozi feels a little uneasy. When I went to her room that day, I clasped my hands together, slightly twisted my fingers, and chanted a spell lightly, and in an instant the entire corridor was faintly covered with white light. Only then did Shaozi clap his hands in satisfaction: "It's best to stay in the hotel obediently, otherwise, if you get angry, you'll just wait to be caught by the net."
After a few days like this, guests would come in from time to time. Most of the cooking is done with a spoon, and sometimes the cuckoo who is good at cooking is dragged into the kitchen. Gradually, there are repeat customers, Shao Zi is quite pleased.
After cleaning the room that night, I was going back to the backyard. When I passed by the brand name room that day, something seemed wrong, with my ear against the wall, and there was no trace of a female ghost in it. The ghostly air behind her was gloomy and cold, she shivered from the cold, and looked up from the fence, the top of the inn was full of hostility, covered by dark clouds, so heavy resentment.
Shaozi hurriedly turned around, leaned over and touched his handprint on the floor, he couldn't help being startled, why was the net she had set up broken by someone? He raised his finger and wiped away the sky eye, only to see that the formation was broken, and the source was at the end of the corridor, and there was faintly dried chicken blood.
The door opened with a creak, and the scholar was holding a bare chicken in his hand. He looked around, saw the spoon, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that you are here. The chicken is not cooked, and the flesh and blood are still raw. Help me warm it up." ?”
The spoon was furious: "Hot you uncle!"
