9 The Seventh Shop
◎The polite fear was gone for a moment.◎
In the four-member team, the oldest Xiong Ming was the leader. Huxi and Yin'er were a couple who had just held the calamus ceremony. The young man named Xiaoji was Xiong Ming's son.
Behind them were two long-haired cows carrying luggage.
The long-haired cows were slightly larger than the red pigs. Their hair was long and dense, gray-black, and fluffy. They moved slowly and looked like cartoon plush dolls that had fallen to the ground from a distance.
The big hail came without any warning. Xiong Ming was anxious. According to his experience, there would be even bigger winds and snow later, and he had to find a place to avoid the cold.
Silver Ear could not help but complain: "We shouldn't have listened to those three young men from the Red Pig Tribe."
The four of them exchanged animal skins from the Red Pig Tribe and prepared to go to the Shenmu Tribe.
On the way, they met three little men from the Red Pig Tribe, who told them that the thorns in Stranglethorn Vale had been shoveled flat, the road had become wide and flat, and that adults had opened an inn there.
Xiong Ming didn't want to explore the affairs of adults and the inn, he just wanted to go home early, and he was tempted to hear that there was a road in Stranglethorn Vale. Going to the Shenmu Tribe through Stranglethorn Vale could save at least two Muyang days.
They had already walked to the vicinity of Stranglethorn Vale, where the snow was still so deep and the road was difficult to walk.
The weather was bad again, and there was hail at night, so they had to find a sheltered place to rest before the heavy snow came.
Xiaoji took out a piece of paper from the animal skin pocket: "They gave us a map, why don't we go to that inn?"
Huxi: "No!"
Xiaoji tilted his head: "Why?"
Yin'er: "Didn't you hear them say how scary adults are? They are taller than mountains and can crush us with just one finger."
Xiaoji: "But they also said that the adults' inns are safe, and the food is more delicious than that of the Xiaguang tribe."
Huxi rolled his eyes: "How can the food of adults compare with that of the Xiaguang tribe?"
Xiaoji was unconvinced: "You talk as if you have eaten it."
Huxi: "Adults don't know, but I have indeed been to the Xiaguang tribe."
No tribe is better at eating than the little people of the Xiaguang tribe.
Xiong Ming, who was walking in the front, raised his hand and asked everyone to be quiet. He tilted his head and his ears rang: "Listen, there is a strange sound in the wind."
The little people of Luoxiong tribe have good hearing. Xiao Ji tilted his ears and heard the sound of "wow wow wow".
He remembered that the little man with the horn mark under his eyes said that there was a long and wide road outside the hotel. There was a windmill on the fence beside the road, which made a wow sound when the wind blew.
Xiao Ji couldn't help but run out, climbed up the gentle slope, and saw the signpost and the windmill at a glance.
He looked into the distance along the signpost, was stunned for a while, turned around and shouted: "We are here! The hotel for adults is in front!"
Xiong Ming and his four companions walked down the gentle slope, took a quick look along the way, and stopped at the door of the hotel.
The three adult humans looked up at the inn without saying anything. Xiaoji: "Aren't you going in?"
Xiong Ming glared at them: "Keep your voice down, don't let us get caught."
Xiaoji didn't understand. The three humans had said that they had stayed in an inn owned by adults, and Thorn Valley had become wide and flat as they said. The adults who opened the inn must be good people. Why couldn't they go in?
Xiong Ming looked very serious. After careful observation, he led the long-haired cow to the window of the inn and said in a low voice: "Let's rest here tonight."
This place is sheltered from the wind, close to the nest of adults, and there are eaves above to block the snow. It's the perfect place to rest.
Yin'er shook his ears and his face turned pale: "Must we stay here?"
The house is so big, the people living inside must be adults.
If they were found out that they were using his place to avoid the cold, could they escape?
Seeing Yin'er's eyes asking for help, Huxi was thinking the same thing as Xiong Ming.
There is no better place to rest nearby.
They pulled the long-haired ox under the wall and did not dare to unload all the luggage. They only took out the animal skin from the package and wrapped themselves in it.
Xiong Ming took out a few black stones from the bag and prepared to start a fire, heat some hot water and put in some dry food.
When you are away from home, keep your food and accommodation simple.
Huxi tiptoed to a distance and brought back a basin of dry snow in a stone pot.
Yin'er leaned against the long-haired ox, rummaged through the package with a gloomy face, and took out a piece of bacon.
I was tired, hungry and worried today, so I had to eat some meat to relieve the stress.
Xiaoji wrapped himself in animal skin and sat by the fire, staring at the flames in a daze.
After sitting down, he felt sore and weak, and he was so tired.
Xiaoji suddenly twitched his nose, and his eyes became lively: "What's that smell... It smells so good..."
Xiong Ming raised his head and glared at him: "Behave yourself."
Xiaoji said aggrievedly: "It is."
As they talked, the fragrance became stronger, like a small hook, drilling into the nose, making people dizzy.
Huxi and Yin'er also smelled it. It was an indescribable oily fragrance, as if a large piece of meat was oozing oil, and their mouths began to secrete saliva unconsciously.
Xiao Ji couldn't help but get up and run after the aroma. She stopped at the door of the hotel and turned back and said, "It's here!"
The three adult little people stood up and tried to stop her, but it was too late.
Xiao Ji pushed open the small door in front of her, and the "ding-ding-ding" sound was particularly deafening in the deserted valley late at night.
Warm light flowed out from the door, and the tempting aroma seemed to be stronger.
At the cooking table, Lu Yao was lowering her head to prepare noodles.
She opened the door late at night and was so hungry that she couldn't sleep. She saw a piece of spare bacon soaking in the kitchen basin and suddenly wanted to eat a bowl of bacon and shredded pork noodles, so she set up the pot and started to work. She had just finished.
When the bell rang, Lu Yao immediately put down her chopsticks.
At the door, Xiaoji, who was a little shorter than Monk, fell to the ground, looking at Lu Yao with a look of fear, his legs trembling weakly.
Lu Yao paused for a moment before squatting down: "Excuse me, would you like to stay in the hotel or have a meal?"
This little man had a pair of round animal ears. Although his body was so small, he still had two furry brown ears sticking out from his hair.
Which tribe is this little man from?
There are too many cute moments.
Outside the door, three heads quietly poked out from the door.
Great, they are all beast-eared little people.
They don’t seem to know that they have been discovered.
Lu Yao lowered his eyelids, trying to appear gentle and harmless: "It will snow heavily tonight and it will be windy outside, so it is not suitable to stay overnight. The beds in the hotel are warm and soft, you can take a hot shower, and there are warm midnight snacks..."
Xiao Ji came back to his senses, his round ears trembled alertly, and he took out a flyer from his beast skin jacket with trembling hands. Lu Yao
took the flyer and smiled gently: "You met Monk and the others, the three of them also stayed here last night and left this morning."
Xiao Ji finally gathered up the courage to speak, and looked up at Lu Yao: "Are you an adult?" Lu
Yao nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Ji stopped talking. Lu
Yao thought for a moment and suggested: "I just cooked noodles, do you want a bowl?"
Xiao Ji's eyes widened and he swallowed subconsciously: "Noodles?" Lu
Yao reached out and directly picked up Xiao Ji and put her on the cooking table. He went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks used by the dwarfs, picked out a noodle from the bowl she hadn't touched yet, two pieces of fat and fragrant bacon mixed with chopped green pepper and fresh chopped shallots, tore a small piece of fried egg, piled a bowl full, and pushed a bowl of hot noodle soup sprinkled with chopped green onions in front of him.
"Taste, it smells good."
His rationality was instantly broken, Xiao Ji's eyes were bright, and he could only see the bowl of noodles in front of him, that was the fragrance.
"Wait!"
A sharp and urgent voice came from the door. Xiong Ming ran in with a "tapping" sound, but he could only hear the sound of his son eating noodles.
Hu Xi and Yin Er fell behind, looking at a loss.
Lu Yao: "How many of you want to eat noodles?"
Xiong Ming, Hu Xi, and Yin Er came to their senses and sat down with Xiao Ji. In front of them was the same bowl of shredded pork noodles that was so fragrant that it made people lose their souls. Their saliva flowed out uncontrollably. Lu Yao
cooked thick noodles in the evening. The dwarfs were not used to using chopsticks yet, so they could only blow hard to cool them down, and then picked up the noodles and bit them like fried dough sticks.
Xiao Ji was particularly bold. He grabbed a piece of shredded pork with his left hand, held the noodles with his right hand, and ate them one bite at a time, enjoying it with relish.
Lu Yao used a small bowl to divide a bowl of noodles, half an egg and a small half bowl of noodles and placed them aside, then picked up her own bowl and began to slurp the noodles.
Even though her dining etiquette was perfect, she could not help making some noises when eating.
The Nitian figures with beast ears were sensitive to sounds, and they stopped eating and looked up at her.
So this is how she eats, so grand, but it seems... not so scary.
Lu Yao noticed their sights and looked down at them: "Not full? I left a small bowl, enough for you."
Xiong Ming's mouth moved slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.
Xiaoji raised his greasy hands: "Another bowl!"
Yin'er's furry cat ears exploded, then shyly folded back: "Me too... another bowl."
Bowl after bowl, the four little Niteans ate up the small half bowl of noodles that Lu Yao had left.
Outside the door, the stone pot on the fire was bubbling, but no one paid any attention.
The two long-haired cows leaning against the corner of the wall were huddled together, constantly pulling their hooves under their bodies. It was really cold at night.
Suddenly, the huge door next to it was pushed open from the inside, a large area of bright light poured out, and a huge shadow fell on the ground.
The long-haired cow's eyes widened, its hooves slipped, and it couldn't stand up, so it could only make a helpless "moo" sound. Lu Yao
came over with his cell phone, and seeing the situation at the corner, he used tweezers to pick up the stone pot, put out the fire, and then brought the long-haired cattle and the luggage into the store.
The four beast-eared little men finally came to their senses, but they were too embarrassed to say that they would not stay at the hotel.
They came from the Luoxiong tribe, and because of their keen hearing, they were good at finding and digging mineral veins. The fuel called "oil stone" came from Luoxiong.
They exchanged four oil stones for six nitan coins. Xiong Ming and Xiao Ji stayed in room 301, and Hu Xi and Yin Er stayed in room 402 upstairs. Hu Xi and Yin Er
walked to room 402 and cast a strange look at the next door.
The four guests were shorter than Zhuzhou, and the replaced door did not seem to be out of place, but the height difference could still be seen in comparison.
Lu Yao briefly explained the reason and took the opportunity to introduce how to use the items in the room.
After both groups of guests closed the door, Lu Yao turned around, covered her lips with her hand, and yawned.
She took out a blanket from the counter and prepared to pull up two chairs to cat for the night.
Harold suddenly appeared. He stood at the door with his hands on his chest, frowning: "Why don't you go home yet?"
Lu Yao: "There are guests in the store."
Harold snatched the blanket from Lu Yao, "I'll be on duty tonight. It's not good to keep going like this. You should hire someone."
Lu Yao also felt that he needed to recruit shop assistants. The dwarf shop assistants would definitely need some training time. It would be fine if he could hire an ordinary human shop assistant first.
"I'll ask in the work group tomorrow. You can keep watch for me for a while, I have something to do and need to go to the cinema."
It was past midnight and it was daytime at the cinema.
She had to re-order a batch of larger beds and pajamas, and pick up a batch of new tableware and kitchenware.
Because the tableware she ordered was too small, and it was said that the temperature was very important, the kiln did not produce many satisfactory ones in the first batch.
There are six guests in the hotel tonight, and it is estimated that there will not be enough dishes tomorrow morning, so a new batch has to be picked up.
After returning from the cinema, Lu Yao went to the snack bar again, and discussed the establishment of the intranet in detail with the chief guard and the technicians of the theme park. He did not return to the nail salon until three in the morning.
[Author's words]
Before entering the store, the dwarfs: Adults are scary, they can crush us with just one finger (shivering)...
After entering the store: I can eat and drink, like a fish in water, just like going home...
