Chapter 53 Alaiwa?
Fangyue Shopping Mall, sixth floor.
Qin Qinsen and the other three followed the male ghost, walked through the queue of people, and stopped in front of a very distinctive shop.
"Alaiwa?"
This name is... so Thai.
"That's it, two elephants at the door and coconut trees, absolutely right." The male ghost was afraid that Qin Qinsen would not believe it, so he jumped on the elephant's back and signaled him to go in quickly.
He also works very hard for milk tea.
There were people coming and going, and Qin Qinsen didn't feel comfortable talking to the air, so he just walked forward in silence.
"Hello, sir. Do you have a reservation?" The waiter greeted him with a smile. "If you don't have a reservation, you'll need to take a number and wait in line. How many people are you, sir?"
Qin Qinsen nodded, saying, "Five, no, four, how long will it take?"
"Let me see. There are eighty-seven tables up front. You can walk around the mall first, or wait in the waiting area. There are free drinks and snacks for you to help yourself."
The waiter took them to the waiting area at the door, which was packed with people.
"Isn't it a weekday? Why are there so many people queuing?"
Qin Qinsen's mumbling attracted the attention of the girl next door. "Don't you know? Their boss, Chef Jin, is here today to personally cook. Many people come here just for him."
"Yes, yes, we must eat the dishes made by Chef Jin today!" The girl's companion's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be looking forward to Chef Jin's cooking skills.
"Chef Jin...is he famous?"
The girl who was speaking was attracted by Qin Qinsen's innocent and confused expression. After two seconds of silence, she quickly looked away. "Yes, yes, he has won the gold medal in the Asian Culinary Competition for three consecutive years. I heard that he has been invited to be a judge this year."
When talking about food, the girl's face was full of dreams. "The last time I ate Chef Jin's dishes with my mom and others was three years ago. The meat was fragrant, juicy, and seasoned with special spices."
The waiter just happened to hear what the girl said and came over to them with a wicker basket. "As for the spices, they should be the ones our boss developed himself. You can buy a bottle to take home and try."
As he spoke, he opened a sample jar of spices and handed it over.
Qin Qinsen raised his eyebrows and picked up a few grains of spice powder. "Did Chef Jin develop it himself?"
"Yes, the boss has been deeply involved in the countryside for five years, cultivating spices from planting to collecting, and then grinding them himself. He has developed many unique flavors and spices, which are sold in limited quantities. We only sell them when the boss is in charge, and there is a buy three get one free deal. You can buy some to try."
The waitress selling the spices looked so proud, and you could tell she really liked them.
"Did you hear that? Buy three and get one free, one can per person." Qin Qinsen nudged Teng Su with his elbow. Just when the waiter thought he could make another bill, Qin Qinsen covered his mouth and leaned close to Teng Su's ear.
Just as Teng Su was about to hide, he felt a burst of warm breath entering his ears. It was Qin Qinsen.
"Your mall's occupancy review system needs to be improved. You let anyone in."
Sitting up straight, Qin Qinsen bought a jar of spices and opened it on the spot, "Come and taste it, is this what it is?"
"Okay."
Although he didn't know why Qin Qinsen asked him to taste the spices, the male ghost had no hesitation for the sake of milk tea!
'hiss--'
He took a deep breath into the spice jar, and a large amount of the smell that made the ghost obsessed surged to his head. The male ghost's eyes were full of obsession, with a silly smile on his face. He couldn't help but float towards the store, but was pulled back by Qin Qinsen.
"What's wrong?" Teng Su watched Qin Qinsen's actions from the side, and a vague thought came to his mind, "There's something wrong with Alaiwa."
"Yeah." A head popped up and woke up the male ghost. "Okay, go drink your milk tea. Don't come here if you don't have anything to do next time. You're not afraid of being burned into slag."
Fangyue Shopping Mall was the first project Teng Su personally planned after taking over the group. The entire site was filled with the aura of divine favor, making it difficult for ordinary ghosts and spirits to approach. Any ghost with malicious intentions who approached would experience firsthand what it felt like to be roasted on fire.
Fang Qing, who was standing by, handed over the milk tea he had prepared long ago. He seemed to have a toothache and said, "Full of sugar and full of ice."
The male ghost who had just woken up from his dazed state immediately had his eyes shining. He hurried to the milk tea and started to sip it. In less than three minutes, all the soul of the cup of milk tea went into the male ghost's stomach.
"Let's go. Take this with you. Be careful next time and don't get lost again." Qin Qinsen took out a black talisman paper. The strokes were smooth and the patterns were intricate. The unusual black talisman was emitting a hint of coolness, which made the male ghost's eyes widen.
"For me?"
After receiving a positive answer, the male ghost no longer cared about whether it was milk tea or not. He took the black talisman with both hands, his face full of excitement, "Yin Fu, this is a Yin Fu! Master, are you really giving it to me?"
Qin Qinsen nodded repeatedly, signaling him to take the talisman and leave quickly. Didn't he see that people in the waiting area were already whispering about it? He didn't want to be thought of as a psychopath, holding his milk tea and talking to himself for no apparent reason.
"Let's go, let's go quickly." Qin Qinsen stood up at the same time as the male ghost and pulled Teng Su to leave.
Teng Su's lips curled slightly, "Not eating anymore?"
Qin Qinsen glared at Teng Su and fled, "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eat!"
In the end, the few people entered the private room of Yixiangzhai.
"Chef Jin's spices are problematic. They're harmless to humans, but they can seduce ghosts, like this pure-hearted male ghost today."
Meeting Lu Zhi's disdainful gaze, Qin Qinsen laughed and said, "Isn't that discrimination? He just wanted to drink milk tea and he didn't commit any crime. He's not pure, is he?"
"I've already sent someone to look up the information on Alaiwa and Chef Jin. Let's eat first." Teng Su placed the bowl of soup in front of Qin Qinsen. "Aren't you tired from all the busyness?"
"That's right, my sponsor has paid me an advance, so I have to be dedicated."
After swallowing the old duck soup, he felt relaxed. Qin Qinsen squinted his eyes in enjoyment. "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Chef Jin's actions don't seem to have much effect on people at the moment, but he is luring ghosts. I don't know why, so you have to be careful."
"Since that spice can attract ghosts, why doesn't it have any effect on humans?" Lu Zhi asked curiously.
"They're just ordinary spices, like thyme, fennel, and rosemary, but he added processed soul-attracting grass, which is extremely attractive to pure-minded ghosts. Soul-attracting grass is usually used by Taoists when searching for ghost servants and ghost messengers, but the amount used is very small. This is the first time I've come across someone like Chef Jin."
"Eat first, and talk after you finish eating."
A cup of milk tea was placed in front of him, and Qin Qinsen looked at Teng Su blankly.
"Don't you want to drink milk tea?" Teng Su gestured to Qin Qinsen to take it, and handed over a few more boxes.
Wow, the latest mobile phone, as well as a computer and a tablet. Holding the heavy box in his hand, Qin Qinsen was a little stunned. Could it be that Da Teng really wanted to be his father?
"Master Qin, you don't want the dedication award given to you?"
"want!"
Why not? This is recognition of his work, it is a must!
