There was a faint blue light at the end of the silver needle, and it was obviously poisoned!
If you get infected, you will probably die on the spot.
Amid Ah Man's exclamations, Xue Huan watched the silver needle approaching her. Wei Laogou put on a smug and cunning smile and rushed out like a rabbit.
Humph, this girl is still too naive. Does she really think that he has been in the underworld for so many years for nothing?
At such a close distance, there is no way Zhao Xiaoxian could dodge, and what's more, the silver needle is tempered with a deadly poison that will kill anyone who touches it. This time, even if the Great Immortal came, she would definitely die!
In reality, this was a truly thrilling experience for Xue Huan. Caught off guard, she had no time to raise her defenses. If she were just an ordinary person with some martial arts skills, she would have been doomed.
However, she values her life very much, so how could she not have any means of self-defense?
When the silver needle reached her forehead, a burst of white light erupted from her body. It was the amulet she was wearing that had taken effect. In this burst of white light, the silver needle was forced to stop and was immediately shattered into powder!
Xue Huan raised her hand to brush away the dust in front of her.
Ah Man stared at her blankly, then suddenly rushed over, tears falling on her, "Girl, I thought..."
Just as Xue Huan was about to comfort her, Ah Man raised her head with gritted teeth, wiped away her tears fiercely, turned around and ran out.
Damn old dog Wei, she wants to catch him and beat him into a meat pie!
However, after the attack, Wei Laogou quickly retreated. How could she catch up with him if she tried to chase him now?
After a while, she came back dejectedly, "Girl, I didn't catch up..."
It’s all her fault for being so useless. She eats so much on a normal day, but can’t help at all at the critical moment!
Xue Huan shook her head. "Don't blame you. I was careless."
Knowing that this man was a veteran, he actually untied him, giving him the opportunity to attack.
This time, Wei Laogou gave her a serious wake-up call.
After putting Wei Laogou's pile of things into the space and calming down, Xue Huan went about her business and took Ah Man to the shop.
She set the shop opening time at 9:00 in the morning.
However, at around 7 o'clock, Zhenniang and the others had already gotten up and started preparing.
We have to hurry up and make a new batch of spicy strips, take out the missing goods from the warehouse and put them on the shelves one by one.
The freezer needs to be cleaned and all the ice cream and popsicles taken out of the freezer need to be put into it.
At the hour of Si, Zhenniang opened the door on time.
Customers who had arrived earlier didn't want to stand in the sun at the door, so they waited in the nearby teahouses and taverns. When they saw Zhao Ji Snack Shop finally open, they immediately rushed in.
There are more guests than yesterday.
This is also because after a day of brewing, the reputation of ice cream and spicy strips has spread and has become a new fashion in Fengchi County.
Anyone who hasn't eaten it is simply out of date.
Whether people came for the two snacks themselves or to keep up with the fashion, Zhao Ji once again experienced a sales peak today.
When Xue Huan arrived, she saw Zhen Niang and others busy with work, so she immediately went up to help.
Ah Man volunteered to be a porter.
By noon, the ice cream in stock had sold out!
This ice cream costs one penny of silver per stick, which is equivalent to two hundred yuan in modern times, and is more expensive than Haagen-Dazs.
I can only say that there are really a lot of rich people.
Ice cream is also really popular in summer.
"Zhen Niang, go to Ye Ji and ask them to send over another batch of ice cream."
"I'll go right away."
Inspired by the money, the workers hired by Qin worked overtime and built the ice storage in just a few days.
Now the Qin family has started to produce ice cream and popsicles in large quantities.
Even at noon, people's desire to eat ice cream could not be resisted, and people kept coming into Zhao Ji to buy ice cream.
I was so disappointed to find out it was sold out.
Xue Huan certainly wouldn't let go of any potential customers. "We've already stocked up on ice cream. It should be delivered in about half an hour. Would you like to try some of our other snacks? Ice bowls, double-skin milk, spicy noodles..."
After the customer entered the store, he didn't want to leave. When he heard that ice cream would be available soon, he decided to wait in the store for a while. Anyway, it was very cool in the store and he could enjoy it just by sitting there.
After listening to her introduction of so many delicious foods, I was even more tempted. "Give me one of each."
The guests sat down on the bamboo chairs in the reception area, and soon some colorful, cool and delicious food was served.
Chun Yan smiled gently: "Enjoy your meal."
After a busy day, Xue Huan ordered some food for Zhenniang and the others, then left with Ah Man.
There is also take-out food in this era. If you don’t want to go out, you can hire someone who runs errands for you and ask them to help you buy things.
Just pay a little errand fee after buying it.
Are you not worried that the hangers-on will run away with the money?
Hangmen were organized and disciplined, just like beggars who had to beg in designated areas. If a hanger-on actually embezzled his employer's money and ran away, the boss of the hanger-on organization would teach him a lesson without the employer having to intervene.
Because if this kind of thing is allowed to happen, it will not only ruin that person's reputation, but the entire gang organization will be implicated.
But ordering takeout is not a big deal. We need to find a cook to cook specifically for Zhenniang and the others.
When Xue Huan returned home, she told the housekeeper about this. Chen Tian agreed and said that he would find a suitable cook as soon as possible.
After dinner, Xue Huan went to the study.
Ah Man was waiting outside, but she didn't feel bored. She held a bag of fried peanuts in her hand and ate them with relish.
In the study, Xue Huan flashed into the space and appeared in the small thatched hut.
Wei Laogou's things were lying on the table.
She looked at them one by one: the bone bell, the white jade honeycomb, the night-shining pearl...
I don’t know if the bone bell is really made of bones. There is no sound when it is shaken, or the sound is inaudible to human ears. As Wei Laogou said, when the bone bell rings, scent-seeking bees will fly over.
One big one and three small ones buzzed around her.
When she stopped, several scent-seeking bees dispersed and returned to the flowers outside, pampering this flower and teasing that flower.
Looks very happy.
It seems that although these honey bees have been trained by Wei Laogou using secret methods to have the ability to find people, their main job is still to collect flowers and make honey. Once they entered the big garden in the space, they immediately became reluctant to leave.
Looking at these bees collecting honey, Xue Huan felt that she could introduce more bees in the future. There wasn't much else in the space, but there were plenty of flowers and plants, which were perfect for collecting honey.
These flowers watered by spiritual springs can also be considered spiritual plants. The honey produced from their flowers must be sweeter and more nourishing.
Hmm? What's in here?
Xue Huan pulled out a palm-sized wooden box from a pile of things. The box was tightly closed and had no lock. She took some effort to find the mechanism and open it.
There was actually a dried corpse inside!
The moment she saw it, she almost threw the box away.
The mummy was very small, only about the size of her palm, but it had all the facial features and limbs, and was very similar to the mummies she had seen in books before.
Are there such small people in the world?
Xue Huan took it out gently and looked at it carefully. She didn't find any wounds on his body and didn't know how he was made into a specimen.
“Save…me…”
A faint mosquito-like sound suddenly came from the corpse's mouth.
"ah!"
This time Xue Huan was really scared and subconsciously threw him out.
However, she regretted it as soon as she threw it away and quickly picked it up.
Luckily, no parts of him were lost.
"You...how can I save you?" She put the little mummy on the table and asked softly.
The little mummy didn't make a sound for a long time and didn't move, as if the sound she just heard was just an illusion.
Or was it that he was only breathing his last breath, and her throwing him away completely killed him?
Just as Xue Huan was blaming herself, the little mummy spoke again with difficulty: "Water..."
"You want some water? I'll pour it for you right away!"
There was a kettle on the table. She poured a cup of water and fed it to him with chopsticks.
The water she drank naturally contained spiritual liquid, so after a few drops of water, the originally shriveled and dried-up little corpse slowly became fuller.
His speech became more fluent. "Thank you. Can you soak me in the water?"
