Chapter 174 The Fifth Store



The main entrance of the cinema was wide open, but there was no one in the lobby.

Zhu Zhu and the other two came in and saw that a layer of shelves had appeared overnight on the wall on the right side of the lounge area, covered with dark green mesh, with a white sign in the middle: Expansion and renovation in progress, please do not enter.

Gouzi has been learning to read with Wen Jian recently, but he is starting from scratch and it is very difficult.

He stared at the white plastic sign for a long while, only recognizing "中" and "入". He poked Wen Jian with his elbow and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wen, what's written on it?"

Wen Jian's eyes moved from the cylindrical steel pipes of the same shape and specifications to the green mesh, and finally looked at the sign standing in front of him: "Reminder: This place is under repair, don't go in."

Zhu Zhu was a little excited: "Is it the same as before, are they going to add more screening rooms?"

She often heard Lu Yao muttering about the lack of screening rooms, which led to tight film scheduling, and she immediately thought of this.

Wen Jian nodded: "It should be. This side wall is adjacent to Rongxi Book House. I wonder how the shopkeeper convinced Rong."

There is only a gap of less than one foot between Rongxi Book House and the cinema. To expand the screening room, it is necessary to break through the two walls.

The three of them watched for a while, but did not dare to touch it.

Ku Ba came out of the lounge, yawning with his hand covering his mouth. There were some water stains in the corners of his eyes, and he was still sleepy.

He did not return to his residence before curfew last night, so he stayed in the lounge.

He thought he would not sleep well this night, but he slept so soundly that he did not even notice when the small shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper left.

"Ah!" Gou Zi stared at Ku Ba, his eyes slightly widened, with some surprise in his surprise.

Zhu Zhu and Wen Jian turned around and saw Ku Ba, their expressions were even more exaggerated than Gou Zi's.

"Brother Ku, why is your hair like this?" Zhu Zhu walked a few steps to Ku Ba, looked up at him, and then went around behind him, "It wasn't this short last night."

Ku Ba only cut a small tuft of hair in front of his forehead last night and gently placed it on his forehead.

But now most of his hair has been shaved off. From the front, the length is almost the same as Fu Chi.

However, the second shopkeeper is used to combing his hair meticulously, and his behavior and personality give people a sense of stability and reliability.

Ku Ba's hair is scattered on his forehead and ears, which makes him look more youthful with his young and fresh face.

A small part of purple is highlighted in the middle of the black hair, and the color is also dark and light.

There was a small amount of long hair left at the back of his head, which was also highlighted and mixed with the black hair and tied into a small braid.

Zhu Zhu and the others couldn't take their eyes off him. Kuba's habit of not liking to dress properly was just like the shopkeeper's. Now with his short purple hair and small braid, he looked ruffian and arrogant.

I can't describe the feeling specifically, but I feel that if Kuba stood in the crowd like this, he would definitely be the first person to be noticed.

A young villain.

This is how Lu Yao described Kuba last night after he had his hair done.

Ku Ba raised his hand and touched the slightly curled ends of his hair. He was still a little uncomfortable and whispered, "My head feels a lot lighter."

Zhu Zhu walked around him twice and reached out to pinch his braid. "It looks good."

Ku Ba raised his eyebrows: "Do you really think it looks good?"

Zhu Zhu nodded. "Are you dissatisfied?"

Ku Ba shook his head: "Not really, I just... I'm a little uncomfortable."

He didn't plan to cut it so long at first. After dyeing it for the first time, he looked at himself in the mirror and understood the owner's intention of letting him choose a hairstyle first.

His long hair was bleached and dyed in a large area, which was different from the purple-haired boy in the advertisement.

The boy looked younger than him and also wore a long gown, but his purple hair was very light and bright.

And he always felt that he looked out of place.

The shop owner said that the purple-haired boy in the advertisement had a face of a comic book boy, and the temperament was different, so the effect was different.

Kuba didn't understand what a comic book boy was, and he felt that he couldn't control the hairstyle he chose, so he asked the shopkeeper to think of a solution, and it became like this.

When the shopkeeper cut his hair for the second time, she was not soft-hearted at all.

The original hair color was a uniform light purple, and she re-adjusted the hair dye to cover part of the light purple hair, darken the tone, and the hair color became different shades.

Kuba had to admit that the shopkeeper had a unique vision and knew more about hair dyeing than him.

He was satisfied, but couldn't help but want to hear other people's opinions.

Wen Jian looked around him and said, "To be honest, I originally thought that your idea of ​​dyeing your hair was weird, but it looks good now."

Gou Zi also nodded, "Brother Ku looks good."

Ku Ba's anxiety dissipated, and his shoulders gradually straightened. "I was on curfew last night and couldn't go back to my residence. I'm going back to change clothes."

Zhu Zhu asked, "Are the first and second shopkeepers still in the lounge?"

Ku Ba shook his head and said, "We were together last night, but they were gone when I woke up. I don't know where they went."

Several people came early, and it was not yet the usual opening time.

But the shopkeeper never came to measure, so he let Ku Ba go back to change clothes, and the three people who came early started cleaning and making preparations.

Then they found that there was an additional screening room in the corridor of the screening room, and there were two expansion areas with signs erected next to it.

The food stalls on Song'an Street were as busy as ever. Kuba, with his short purple hair, paraded through the streets, attracting a lot of attention.

Xie Xu, Chen Yuning, and the Prince of Jin were eating duck blood vermicelli at Aunt Zhu's stall, watching Kuba walk by.

Chen Yuning stretched his neck and looked for a long time, his eyes full of surprise: "That seems to be a waiter in the cinema?"

The Prince of Jin nodded, "It's a pity that you can still recognize him even though his hair has become like that."

Xie Xu: "All the waiters in the cinema wear clothes like that, and the hair must have been given by the shopkeeper."

Chen Yuning lowered his head and took a big bite of duck blood fans, sighing: "The Little Chef really didn't lie, there are indeed delicious flavors in the market."

Aunt Zhu heard it and couldn't help but look up and said: "Our duck blood fans have been instructed by the shopkeeper in the cinema, and regular customers say that the taste is more delicious than before." Chen Yuning

didn't expect to hear about Lu Yao's deeds here, and was quite curious: "The shopkeeper in the cinema also knows cooking?"

After going to the cinema to watch a movie, Aunt Zhu's impression of cinemas has changed greatly. She no longer mentioned the matter of asking Zhu Zhu to resign, and was grateful for Lu Yao's suggestion. She said enthusiastically: "The young shopkeeper had eaten duck blood vermicelli at my house before. She might have just arrived in Liangjing that morning, and because of her strange dress, she attracted a lot of attention. I asked her to eat a bowl of vermicelli, and then it happened that my little daughter found a job in the cinema again. When "The Little Chef" was released, I went to see it once, and the little chef was really amazing. I kept bragging about it to my daughter when I came out, and the young shopkeeper might have heard it, and secretly gave me a secret recipe for making soup and adding ingredients. I came back and tried it according to that method, and it really tasted better than before."

This is the first time I heard this.

Xie Xu and the other two exchanged glances, then turned around and continued chatting with Aunt Zhu.

Qin Sanwei woke up early, ate some leftover steamed buns from yesterday, and sat down under the window to copy books.

However, he was restless and his copying was not smooth. He made mistakes from time to time, and the things he saw last night kept popping up in his mind.

Yesterday evening, he took the copied books to Rongxi Book House for delivery, and was surprised to find that the movie theater that everyone was talking about was right next to the book house.

When the waiter in the book house talked about the movie theater, he smiled so hard that his eyebrows were hidden, and his words were full of praise for the movie theater.

Qin Sanwei exchanged the books for money, and took on a few new book jobs. He stood outside the movie theater for a long time when he left.

He saw moving figures on the transparent wall of the cinema, and also saw a clip of "When Flowers Fall, You Meet Again". Finally, he saw a group of people in the store surrounding a young man and wanted to shave his head.

He didn't know why the man wanted to shave his head. He thought it was a bit scary at the time, and as it was getting dark, he left in a hurry.

But after returning, he had a lot of thoughts all night and didn't sleep well.

When he woke up in the morning, he was still thinking about the cinema.

He thought of "When Flowers Fall, You Meet Again" and what the person outside the wall said yesterday. His mind became more and more restless. He walked around in the room, suddenly stopped, turned around and went out with his wallet.

He didn't really want to buy a ticket to watch it, he just wanted to take a look outside.

In fact, he wanted to know how the young man who shaved his head last night was doing.

Qin Sanwei kept preparing himself mentally, walked out of the Yong'an Temple, and slowly walked onto the street. The surroundings became lively

. After walking for about half an hour, he finally arrived at Song'an Street in the East City. His breath was a little disordered because he had been walking in a hurry.

Suddenly, a young man with short purple hair came towards him in a hurry.

The other party did not pay attention to him.

The two passed each other, and Qin Sanwei turned around with surprise in his eyes: That man... looks like the boy I saw in the cinema yesterday.

He actually couldn't remember Ku Ba's appearance very clearly, but he was deeply impressed by Ku Ba's clothes.

At that time, there was a transparent wall between them, and several men inside were wearing the same clothes.

The only man who was dressed differently from them was Ku Ba at this time, with very short hair and distinct features.

With a little association, he recognized Ku Ba.

It turned out that he didn't want to shave his head and become a monk, but wanted to be like the short-haired man.

Qin Sanwei couldn't understand Ku Ba's idea, and his fear of the cinema deepened.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I heard that there were a lot of people queuing up in the morning, don't be unable to buy tickets later!"

"What's the hurry? If you can't watch the first show, just wait for the next one."

"Oh, brother, hurry up! I don't want to wait anymore. Everyone says that "Meeting You Again in Falling Flowers" is good, even better than "The World's Number One" and "The Little Chef of Shengjing"!"

A pair of siblings next to them talked and walked quickly to the cinema.

Qin Sanwei looked at their backs and slowly followed.

Lu Yao helped Ku Ba dye his hair and returned to the shopping street. It was late, and the nail salon, blind box store and furry store were closed.

She habitually went to the snack bar to take a look, confirmed that everything was normal, and then went back to the nail salon to rest.

Fu Chi went back to the shopping street with Lu Yao and watched her walk into the snack bar. He wanted to ask about Qi Chen, but he couldn't find a good entry point.

Glancing at the time, he didn't go back to his residence, but spent the night in the car.

In the middle of the night, the alarm rang.

Fu Chi opened his eyes in a daze.

A dark shadow was reflected outside the car window, and his heart suddenly tightened. Qi Chen's miserable appearance was connected with the darkest and most terrifying memories in the depths of his memory, and a picture of hell was instantly constructed.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. What was worse was that he was shaking all over and couldn't use any strength.

It was as if, as if he was back in a nightmare.

"Xiao Fu?" Lu Yao's voice came from outside.

"..." Fu Chi rolled down the window with a pale face.

Lu Yao was holding a stack of

instant noodles in his arms, his smile a little awkward, "I saw your car was still there, and guessed you didn't go back, so I was going to call you. Sorry, I scared you." Fu Chi leaned weakly on the soft cushion and exhaled slowly, "It's okay."

Lu Yao looked at him carefully again, "You look bad, sleep for a while. It's okay to come back in the morning."

Fu Chi put on his clothes and got out of the car, "I can't sleep, I'll go with you."

When they reached the door of the cinema, Fu Chi took a deep breath and called Lu Yao, "Owner."

Lu Yao didn't turn around: "Huh?"

"...I forgot to tell you yesterday that after you left, several applicants came. I simply screened them, and the qualified ones will come again today." Fu Chi clenched his fists and didn't ask the question he wanted to know most.

Lu Yao nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Shopkeeper."

"Anything else?"

"...After daybreak, my assistant will deliver the clothes. Do you need special permission to enter here?" Fu Chi covered his face, he messed up again.

Lu Yao: "If it's just delivering clothes, it's okay."

The two walked into the cinema, and Fu Chi wanted to say something.

There was already a long line at the ticket office, and the lounge was almost full.

It was just that it was not time to open yet, and everyone was just waiting.

Lu Yao and the other person suddenly appeared, and everyone glanced at the instant noodles in her hand with inquiring eyes.

Lu Yao thought that the people of Dawu Dynasty got up very early, and hurried to the lounge, "Hurry up, let's go have breakfast first."

Last night, we stayed up too late dyeing Kuba's hair, and we were a little hungry. While we were waiting, Lu Yao brought out some instant noodles.

Kuba was surprised by the instant noodles that only needed to be soaked in hot water for three minutes. She didn't believe it at first, and ate three buckets in a row before gradually accepting the fact. After eating, she strongly suggested eating instant noodles in the morning. The

stock in the portable warehouse had been eaten. When Lu Yao went out, he secretly took Harold and Si Jin's stock from the nail salon to deal with this morning meal first. Harold would probably scold her later.

She was naughty too.

Hongyu was sitting at a table with the best view in the rest area. She saw Lu Yao and Fu Chi walking by from a distance, and immediately got up and followed them.

She couldn't see clearly, but the two people were dressed very differently, so it was easy to tell them apart.

Lu Yao heard the voice and looked back at Hong Yu, "Who are you?"

"My name is Hong Yu. I heard that they were hiring here, so I came here yesterday." Hong Yu lowered her head slightly, trying not to make eye contact with Lu Yao.

Fu Chi also recognized her, "One of the people who passed the initial test yesterday, she is literate and used to be a maid in a wealthy family, so she has experience."

Lu Yao handed the instant noodles to Fu Chi and asked him to take the others to eat first, and called Hong Yu aside to talk.

She typed into the system: "What is the background of this person?"

This is clearly the guard who was dressed as a man. Now she has changed back into women's clothes to apply for a job in the store. It is no coincidence.

System: [I don't know.]

Lu Yao: "???"

System: [Exploring the alien world is part of the owner's duties. I have no right to interfere. 】

Lu Yao: "I hope you will never need to ask me for help."

The system was shocked: [……]

Lu Yao did not want to get involved with the system, he stopped and turned to look at Hong Yu, "Your eyes..."

Hong Yu was shocked, could she have seen something?

She should not have revealed her eye disease when she was in contact with the man yesterday.

Lu Yao noticed that she was nervous, so he raised his hand to comfort her, "Relax, I'm just asking casually."

After a brief interview, Lu Yao announced, "You're hired. The store's rule is a seven-day probation period. If you pass the training within these seven days, you'll be officially employed. If you fail to be employed successfully, the probation period salary will also be paid to you."

Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head and replied, "Yes, thank you, shopkeeper."

After the interview, Lu Yao took her directly to the lounge and took the remaining money on the table. He passed a bucket of instant noodles to her and said, "Have breakfast first."

Ku Ba had changed his clothes and came back. He sat in a circle with Zhu Zhu and the others, slurping the noodles. He took the time to remind them, "Shopkeeper, that's your portion." Lu

Yao shook his head and smiled, "I'm not hungry yet. This is Hong Yu, the new clerk."

Hong Yu felt something was suddenly stuffed into her hand. She wanted to get closer to see it more clearly, but she was afraid that her eye problems would be exposed, so she had to hold it tightly in her arms and raise her head to greet others.

Wen Jian, Zhu Zhu, and Gou Zi were conquered by the delicious instant noodles. They greeted each other politely and lowered their heads to slurp the noodles.

Not to mention that it only takes a short time to make a cup of tea with hot water before you can eat it, the noodles are surprisingly springy, the soup is rich, and it is simply indescribably tempting!

Although Hongyu's eyes can't see clearly, she has practiced martial arts for many years and her senses are sharper than ordinary people. She can judge the situation in front of her by the breath.

The young man who just spoke in the room has unfathomable strength and is likely to be the same kind of person as her.

The man in blue on the far right also has some kung fu skills. The others have heavy breaths, casual postures, and are all in tatters. They are all ordinary people.

The two people that His Highness is most wary of are also ordinary people, without any kung fu skills.

Seeing that Hongyu was a little dazed, Lu Yao raised his hand and waved in front of her eyes, "Can't you see clearly?"
