8 The Seventh Shop
◎"I'm not happy with it, but it's really delicious."◎
Iniwei walked to the door of the bathroom and looked up and down: "The door is a bit low, but the bathtub is big enough, so we can save some hot water."
The Dusk Moon Season is very cruel to the Dwarfs. Food is scarce, and taking a hot bath is an extreme luxury, especially when they are on the road, sleeping in the open air, and the last time they took a bath was before leaving home.
They cherish the opportunity to take a bath.
Iniwei met Ganli on the way. When she heard that there was hot water in the hotel room, she wanted to take a bath.
The blue brick building is decorated in a low-key and restrained Chinese style from the exterior to the room. It is novel for the Dwarfs, but it also conforms to their aesthetics.
The bathroom in the suite was large, with a glass door with window grilles and a solid-color shower curtain separating three areas: the washing area, the bathroom, and the bathing area. The
bathing area had a shower and a large wooden tub for bathing, just like the room downstairs.
The mini soap in the small wooden box smelled very good, and soon began to bubble up after being applied to the body. Iris and Takeshu exclaimed as they quickly rubbed off the dirt on their bodies, and then filled a bucket of hot water. Once they soaked in it, they didn't want to move. The
warm water gently covered the neck like a quilt, and the fatigue from many days of walking and the uneasiness of coming to the hotel turned into a satisfied sigh at this moment.
Luyao knocked on the door outside to inform them that dinner was ready.
Iontail opened her eyes and stood up neatly, her neck and below red: "Ganli said the food provided by the hotel is delicious, I want to try it."
Ganli's original words were "The food that the Xiaguang tribe is most proud of is not even comparable to this."
Iontail was clever and skillful, and was once very famous in the Xiaguang tribe.
The smoked meat and candies she made were always better than others, and everyone praised the taste of her daily food.
When Zhuzhou first met Iontail, he was amazed by her cooking skills and could not forget her.
In Zhuzhou's heart, even if other people made delicious meals, they would definitely not be as good as Iontail's.
The two went downstairs with the mentality of "the room is indeed very comfortable, but the food must be picky."

Dining area on the first floor.
Iris and Takeshu sat opposite each other, with two sets of meals in front of them - rice, roast beef cubes with black pepper and roasted seasonal vegetables, pickled cucumber, and winter melon and shrimp soup.
The complex, rich and slightly stimulating aroma rushed straight into the nose, and Iris chose to first taste the roasted cherry tomato next to the roasted meat.
This rice not only smelled good, but the color combination was also very appetizing.
Takeshu couldn't help but eat the roasted meat first - its presence was too strong, and then he couldn't stop his chopsticks, one bite after another.
What kind of roasted meat is this?
How can it be so burnt and fragrant, and the texture is so tender, and there is a perfect milky aroma when you bite it. The more you eat, the more addicted you become, and you don't want to stop at all.
And this thin and dry side dish, it looks inconspicuous, but it is crunchy when you chew it, and it tastes better than meat when mixed with rice.
Iris tasted the grilled vegetables, grilled meat, and side dishes one by one, and finally picked up the soup bowl, tasting the sweet and soft winter melon and the chewy and sweet shrimp paste.
After a long pause, she let out a long sigh: "I'm not happy, but it's really delicious."
The grilled meat was charred and oily, and the vegetables were fresh and tender, and there was nothing wrong with them. The side dishes
were salty and fragrant, and the shrimp paste soup was sweet. The cooking method and seasoning were all new to her, and Ganli's evaluation was not exaggerated at all.
Ivy and Takeshu looked at each other, and their thoughts before going downstairs disappeared. They just lowered their heads and ate rice from their bowls. Then they raised their empty bowls and said in unison: "Owner, another bowl!"
Lu Yao had prepared extra portions in advance, but the two little ones still ate more than she expected.
Ivy ate two sets of set meals, Takeshu ate three, and ordered an extra portion of barbecue. After
the meal, the two of them couldn't stand up and sat in a daze. Lu Yao
cleaned up the kitchen and came over. Seeing that they were still dizzy from eating, he pulled a stool over and sat down to chat. Lu Yao
got straight to the point: "Did you meet Gan Li?"
Ivy leaned her elbows on the table: "Yes, she gave us a map of the inn. I thought it might snow heavily tonight and it would be unsafe to stay outside overnight, so I came here. I didn't expect that Stranglethorn Vale had completely changed." Lu
Yao explained: "I heard Gan Li say that the road in Stranglethorn Vale was difficult to walk on, so I cut off the thorns."
Ivy: "That's good. I'm afraid many people will be willing to walk here in the future." Lu Yao
: "What's the reason?"
Ivy: "Stranglethorn Vale is a shortcut to the Shenmu Tribe, but because there are many thorns and the road is deep, it is easy to get lost. In the past, people would rather take a detour and rarely walk here."
According to Ivy, when the news spreads, the dwarfs will definitely be willing to take a shortcut through Stranglethorn Vale, and the inn's business will also improve.
The road was not built in vain, and Lu Yao became happy.
Lu Yao: "Are you going to the Shenmu tribe too?"
Yiwei lowered her head and suddenly became shy: "Well, we want to go and ask for a fetus seed."
Zhuzhou, who was sitting next to her, didn't say anything, and her ears also turned red.
Fetus seed?
Lu Yao learned from Yiwei's story that the reproduction method of the dwarfs is completely different from that of humans. If they want children, they have to go to the Shenmu tribe to ask the descendants of the gods for fetus seeds.
The dwarfs living in the Shenmu tribe are descendants of gods who once served the gods. Only they know how to cultivate fetus seeds.
The dwarfs are strong and have an average lifespan of 300 years, but it is difficult for them to reproduce. Without fetus seeds, there will be no children.
Yiwei and Zhuzhou have lived together for more than ten years. Now they want to settle down and have a child, so they pack their bags and set off on a journey.
...
Zhuzhou is taciturn, and Yiwei is talkative.
When Iori was talking, Takefusa was listening and occasionally adding a few words.
Iori told Luyao that the little people she first met were probably just adults and looked short.
Even Ganli is not yet a hundred years old and will continue to grow taller.
It is said that the height of adult female little people is about 10 cm, and the height of adult male little people is 10-15 cm. However, little people over 13 cm tall are very rare.
Lu Yao took a tape measure and found that Zhuzhou was nearly 12 centimeters tall, which was considered tall among the adult dwarfs. Ionie was 9.5 centimeters tall.
The night spread out outside the window. Ionie, tired from the journey, yawned and stood up, waving at Lu Yao: "I'm going to sleep now."
Zhuzhou helped Ionie up, and the two went upstairs together.
---
Lu Yao thought that all the doors of the building block hotel had problems and couldn't sleep at all, so he immediately started to think of ways to fix it.
Monk was six or seven centimeters tall, and Lu Yao recalled that Ganli was about eight centimeters tall.
When she designed the building block hotel, the reserved height of the door was 10.5 centimeters.
Lu Yao thought there would be no problem, but now everything had to be adjusted.
For a "big guy" like Zhuzhou, the bed in the room might be too short. Lu Yao just felt that his head was too big. Tomorrow he had to go to Dawu Dynasty to find a carpenter to order a batch of larger beds.
Zhuzhou just went downstairs wearing his own clothes. It was probably because the clothes provided by the hotel did not fit him. The prepared pajamas also had to be increased in size.
Lu Yao measured the actual height of the wall, modified the data on the drawing first, and began to renovate the door at night. The height of the door of this guest room must be adjusted to at least 12.5 cm. Any higher would appear inconsistent.
There were solid wood boards left over from making cabinets a few days ago in the warehouse. Lu Yao took out a few pieces, cut them into suitable sizes, polished them with sandpaper, punched holes for joint parts and door locks, and then used enhanced magic circles for reinforcement and soundproofing.
Originally, there was a painting step. The painted furniture should be placed for one to two months before it can be used. Lu Yao couldn't wait that long. The door and the furniture in the room were reinforced with magic. The surface looked no different from the painted ones, smooth and shiny, and there was no pungent smell of paint.
Room 401, which had guests, was left alone. Lu Yao replaced all the three small doors under the main entrance of the hotel, the doors of the guest rooms on the third and fourth floors, and the door of the elevator downstairs.
"Ding ding dong dong--"
There was a sudden burst of intense noises outside the window. Iwei said that there might be heavy snow tonight, but why didn't this sound like it? Lu Yao
opened the window and it was actually hail.
Isn't it the late rose season now?
According to Lu Yao's understanding, the late rose season should correspond to winter.
Generally speaking, hail does not fall in winter.
Unless certain conditions are met, but it rarely occurs.
Lu Yao changed her mind and thought that the Nitian continent had three moons and was the world where the dwarfs lived, so the natural climate could not be inferred by common sense.
The hail in the Nitian continent was terrifying, hitting the roofs and windows, "bang bang bang" like falling stones.
Lu Yao reached out to catch a few grains, which were almost as big as her fingers and so cold that they bit her hand.
Thinking of the door that had not been renovated yet, Lu Yao's intention to play with ice disappeared instantly. She closed the window, wiped her hands, and sat back to continue her busy work.
---
Outside the Stranglethorn Vale, a team of four dwarfs stopped under a tree, huddled together tightly to avoid the sudden hail.
In Lu Yao's eyes, the finger-sized hailstones were a deadly weapon when they fell on the dwarfs.
Unfortunately, the roses are fading, and the leaves of the trees have all fallen off, leaving only dry branches that can't provide any cover.
The dwarfs are small in size, so they stuck to the tree trunks and didn't get hit.
The hail lasted for nearly 20 minutes before it gradually stopped. The team leader pricked up his ears and slowly walked out from under the tree. After making sure the hail had stopped, he looked up at the sky and said, "Pack up and find a safe place to stay. There may be heavy snow tonight."
[Author's words]
Tomorrow, which is Thursday, the update time will be adjusted to 18:00. Don't wait for me at midnight, dears.
Good night.
