The hand holding the cigarette,
Trembling slightly.
Just made a great wish,
I am determined to be a lazy and sleepy salted fish.
Who would have thought,
This ambition is still hot.
But trouble is coming.
The earthen grave last time, the brothel on the small street after entering, the paper doll clone of the bald monk, and the red spider lily that I brought back from there as a seasoning.
What gave Zhou Ze the most headache was,
I haven’t experienced this “delicious feast” myself yet.
The owner came to the door.
Of course, as for guilt, I don't really feel that way.
Boss Zhou didn't feel guilty about stealing other people's things.
That group of people set up that small barrier to attract the dead souls nearby and used them as feed, making them offer sacrifices to the red spider lily. They tortured the dead souls who could have gone to hell to be reincarnated, and destroyed their chances of rebirth.
This is a very detrimental thing to one's moral character. Zhou Ze was already being subtle by not boasting that he was "doing justice on behalf of heaven". How could he feel guilty about this matter
"My flowers, where are the flowers?"
The old woman walked up to Zhou Ze tremblingly, stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhou Ze's shoulders. There was a kind of despair and madness in her sunken eyes. She shook Zhou Ze's body desperately and shouted.
Boss Zhou had just woken up from a coma and was still very weak. The old woman looked frail, but she was quite strong. She shook Boss Zhou until he almost suffocated.
“Let go!”
Bai Yingying immediately reached out and lifted the old woman away. The old woman fell backwards and fell directly to the ground, losing consciousness.
“…”Bai Yingying.
“…” Zhou Ze.
"Boss, is this a scam?" Bai Yingying asked.
Zhou Ze also frowned and thought about it. This shouldn't be the case. At the beginning, he and the little Lolita had also discussed about the person who set up the barrier to grow the red spider lily. No matter whether the other party was alive or dead, whether in the world of the living or in hell, he should at least be a well-known figure, right
Ordinary people are not qualified nor capable of such a big deal.
But isn’t this old woman who came to collect the debt too weak
Bai Yingying pushed,
Just fainted
Want to extort money
Boss Zhou didn't mind spending some ghost money or RMB to feed the other party and send him away. Compared with the chain of troubles that this incident might cause, Zhou Ze felt that spending money to avoid disaster was completely advisable.
after all,
After realizing that his greatest support had become the biggest powder keg, Zhou Ze's mentality also changed.
I used to be Zhou Taidi, who thought he was awesome enough to dominate the world.
Now it’s Zhou Xianyu.
There were quite a few pedestrians on the road looking in, but no one came over to take a look. No one wanted to get into trouble, so at most they walked slowly as they passed by, trying to see if there was anything exciting going on.
This is just like a "pure" man, no matter how old he is, when passing by a small hair salon on the street, he will always pretend to be casual and see what color stockings the girl inside is wearing today.
Therefore, Boss Zhou does not think there is anything wrong with his current mentality and attitude towards life.
Open your eyes and look.
The streets are full of noise and bustle,
Coming and going,
It's all salted fish.
… … … …
“Mmmmm… delicious, delicious!!!”
“It’s delicious… It tastes so good!!!”
At the dinner table,
Zhou Ze sat leaning against the chair, while Xu Qinglang watched beside him and watched which dish was missing and cooked some more and served them.
The old woman ate so voraciously, as if she had just been released from prison in ancient times, especially the huge greasy pork elbow in her left hand.
The food was so delicious that his mouth was drooling.
That was a delicacy that Xu Qinglang specially prepared for Zhou Ze to "enjoy" tonight.
The old Taoist priest was drinking with the old woman and pouring wine for her. The old woman would clink glasses with him from time to time and drink it all in one gulp, very heroically.
Of course.
Although they look about the same age, the old Taoist doesn't like people of his own age. He prefers those poor younger women around 40 years old working in the hair salon.
Yes, they are beginning to grow old and lose their beauty. According to the description of the old lecher Bai Juyi, they are the women "whose doors are deserted and few carriages or horses are seen."
But if you patronize her and care for her, she will be more grateful and provide better service, unlike those young people who have good business and are very greedy.
But the old Taoist also felt that the old lady was quite kind, otherwise, you couldn't let Bai Yingying go to accompany her, right
Although Bai Yingying seems to be old enough.
The old woman kept eating and eating, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
The ingredients that Xu Qinglang bought to prepare a big meal for Zhou Ze tonight had basically gone into the old woman's stomach. Zhou Ze naturally wouldn't find anything to do at this time and take out the oral liquid made from the red spider lily to show off while eating.
“Huh…”
I’m full.
The old woman patted her round belly.
A face full of satisfaction.
Then she looked at Xu Qinglang on the side, gave him a thumbs up and said:
"Girl, you cook really well."
“… …”Xu Qinglang.
Lao Xu suddenly felt that his dish was a little incomplete without adding some arsenic.
"Hey, sister, he's a boy, hahahahaha."
The old Taoist explained with a laugh,
"Sister, you don't know, I almost fainted when I saw him for the first time."
"Tsk tsk, is it a man?" The old woman looked at Xu Qinglang carefully again, nodded, and said, "He is indeed a handsome young man. What a pity! If it were in the Qing Dynasty, you would have charmed so many people if you played a young man on stage with your appearance. The brothels would be full of your fans."
The old woman opened her mouth and said "Qing Dynasty".
This B style and recollection are really profound.
This made the Taoist priest next to him not know how to respond. We look about the same age, but I was only born one year before liberation, and at that time I was still eight feet away from the front.
“It’s just that the amount of oil and water used is a little too much. I think it’s because we used to cook too many meals in big pots and have been serving them in continuous flow for too long, so it naturally lacks a bit of refinement.
The taste is excellent, but there are much more delicious dishes in the world. No matter what your taste is, to be honest, no matter how delicious it is, can it really attract people's attention
It's just that we put different thoughts on details, do you understand?"
Xu Qinglang was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded, "I'm grateful for your advice."
The old woman blew out a breath and said with some disinterest:
"Forget it, forget it. No matter how good the food is, it's pretty good. Keep up the good work and study hard to reach a higher level. It seems that we will never be able to eat the cooking skills of the chefs in the palace during the Qing Dynasty."
"Yeah." Xu Qinglang nodded.
"When your cooking skills improve, I guess it's time for you to die. Then, come down to the underworld and cook for me."
“… …”Xu Qinglang.
Xu Qinglang negative emotions +999
Zhou Ze's eyes fixed.
The highlight,
Are you here
Speaking of hell,
Talking about the red spider lily,
This means that the identities of both parties have been revealed, and there is no need to hide it anymore.
But Xu Qinglang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was this a compliment? Was this a reward
"Why are you looking so sad? With your half-baked esoteric arts level, you can't change your fate in this life. You can't escape birth, aging, sickness and death.
Besides,
Following a small underworld official,
Is it okay for me to follow you, old lady?"
Saying,
The old woman pointed at Zhou Ze rudely with a look of disdain.
But the aura in her every move didn't seem fake. Most people, without that kind of experience or temperament, couldn't fake that kind of feeling.
"Sister... Oh no, big sister, you are down there, you are also a big shot, right
Hey, I have already seen it. You are not an ordinary person, sister. It seems that you are a bannerman
To be honest, my ancestors were also bannermen, from the Niu Hulu clan!"
The old Taoist immediately began to flatter him.
Your loyal veteran is online.
When people get old, all they care about is their own funeral. However, since I have no children, I don't have to worry about future generations. Now I have the opportunity to care about what will happen after I die. This is a great chance.
"oh?"
The old woman squinted her drunken eyes and looked at the Taoist priest. She also reached out and patted the Taoist priest on the face.
"Really a bannerman?"
"Yeah yeah."
"But during the Qing Dynasty, the old woman was a member of the Tongmenghui. The meal she had at the palace was also obtained by breaking into a prince's house and getting a free meal."
“… …” old Taoist.
Zhou Ze reached out and tapped the table lightly, saying, "Let's talk business."
After eating and drinking,
It's time for you to get back to the point.
"Oh, let's talk business." The old woman stretched lazily, "Is the red spider lily here with you?"
“I guess so.”
If it is a blessing, there is no disaster. If it is a disaster, there is no way to avoid it, so Boss Zhou just toughened up.
"Do you know who I am?" the old woman asked, pointing to her face.
"I don't know." Zhou Ze shook his head.
At first Zhou Ze guessed that the other party might be Meng Po, but since the other party was from the late Qing Dynasty, he should not be Meng Po.
Besides, it is unlikely that a big figure from the underworld like Meng Po would come to the world of the living in person.
"Haha, so I don't know what gave you the courage." The old woman stood up and put her hand on Zhou Ze's chest. "I want to see where your courage and support come from."
The greasy hand took the elbow and groped around his chest.
Boss Zhou, who suffers from mysophobia, felt very uncomfortable and tormented, and could not help but reach out and open the other person's hand.
"Oh, I figured it out. I didn't expect that this small city of Tongcheng actually has so many hidden talents.
A little ghost messenger from the underworld actually has a hidden identity."
The old woman took another sip of rice wine and smiled until her yellow front teeth were exposed.
“But do you know that you are just the spirit that happened to be born during the time when you were unconscious inside of your body? In other words, you are nothing at all.
Why are you so arrogant
When a person dies and becomes a zombie, it is also a new life from death to rebirth.
And you
Not even that.
At best, it is a guard dog tied to the door when the owner is away from home.
Wait for the master to come back.
Just kill the dog and make soup."
