Looking at the recipes he had found, Luo Jianxing asked, "Manman, can you cook the food from this country?"
She shook her head: "No." She lifted the curtain and looked at Daniel, who was standing at the door soliciting customers: "Isn't there a local right here? Let him help us."
"You're so smart." Luo Jianxing pouted and tried to kiss her, but she dodged him.
"So stingy, won't even give you a kiss."
Looking at his adorable appearance, she grabbed his collar, pulled him down, and offered him her red lips: "Mmm."
He lowered his head shyly and whispered, "That's more like it."
"How embarrassing!" Little Green witnessed the whole thing and flew around the two of them.
"Go and tell Miaomiao what Master just said."
"receive."
Little Green flew to Luo Shimiao's ear and conveyed her master's words to her.
"Okay." Luo Shimiao stood up from her chair, walked to the door, and patted Daniel on the shoulder: "Help us cook a dish. I'll take care of any guests you have."
Daniel agreed without hesitation. He was always willing to grant his benefactor's requests, even if it meant eating excrement.
A customer came in just a few minutes after he left.
The man pointed to his hair, which was longer than his eyes, and said, "I want a flame haircut, cut it shorter."
Flame haircut? Luo Shimiao pulled down her mask, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. Was it what she understood it to mean?
To appear professional, he nodded repeatedly, "Sit down, no problem." He hung the apron on him, then turned to look at the nonchalant man beside him, "Gu Nian, help me search for what flame haircut is."
"Okay." Gu Nian took out his phone to search and showed her the video he found.
"That's pretty much what I was thinking. I understand." Luo Shimiao found the relevant product on the table.
Picking up a comb and a lighter, he stood behind the customer, looked in the mirror, and said seriously, "Sir, I'm Tony. Rest assured, you'll be satisfied with your hair."
"Get a nice haircut, I have a date tonight."
"OK, although it's my first time cutting someone's hair, I'm full of confidence."
His big eyes suddenly widened: "First time getting a haircut?"
"NONONO, you misheard. This is the first time I've given such a handsome young man a haircut."
The man immediately beamed and flicked his bangs that were covering his eyes: "You have excellent taste."
"Sir, please close your eyes and wait for the surprise."
"Um"
Luo Shimiao combed the hair above her right ear and "click," the flame from the lighter ignited her thick black hair.
A smell of burnt hair wafted out.
When the fire reached a certain length, Luo Shimiao blew on the hair: "Whoosh... the fire won't go out, Gu Nian, come and help me blow it out."
Hearing her voice, the man's eyelids twitched, and he tried to open his eyes, but she immediately covered them: "If you open your eyes, the surprise will be gone, and you'll lose your girlfriend too."
"Don't open your eyes unless I tell you to, understand? Only by obeying will the Lord bless you."
“Okay.” He raised his hand to his chest, making a prayer gesture.
"Whoosh~"
With Gu Nian's arrival, the fire was extinguished immediately.
Luo Shimiao: "Holy crap! My hair looks a bit short from the burn."
Gu Nian covered her eyes and said, "Remove 'seems like'."
That tuft of hair was burned down to about two centimeters long.
“It’s okay. He said to cut it shorter, and I understand that to mean it should be this short.”
Practice makes perfect, and Luo Shimiao gradually became more skilled and adept at it.
The inner room,
While Daniel wasn't looking, Luo Jianxing sprinkled the powdered medicine into the dish and quickly stirred it with a spoon.
......
The strong smell of burning wafted out Li Man and Luo Jianxing.
"Cough cough... What are you guys doing out there?" Luo Jianxing coughed, covering his mouth and nose.
Luo Shimiao had just finished burning off her bangs, and a bowl cut appeared in the mirror.
“Alright, now for the final step,” she took a deep breath, holding two combs in her hands, assumed a horse stance, and stared at the top of the customer’s hair: “Throw it!”
"Snap." Gu Nian's long, strong fingers held a match, and with a flick of his finger, the match landed precisely on the guest's hair.
The match instantly ignited his hair.
Luo Shimiao quickly combed her hair with a comb: "This fire seems a bit strange. It's getting stronger and stronger, unlike in the video."
"Miaomiao, it seems like something is missing."
"Why didn't you say so sooner!" She realized she had forgotten to apply that special liquid.
Gu Nian touched his nose: "I only remembered it when I flicked the match."
This move completely baffled the two people who had just come out.
"My beloved concubine, Third Brother, quickly find me a damp towel!"
Seeing the man with a ball of flame on his head, the two came to their senses and went to find a towel.
"Where is Daniel's towel?" The two searched through the drawer.
The guest, still with his eyes closed, smiled and said, "It's so warm. Your technique is really good."
"Thank you." Luo Shimiao kept combing her hair, not daring to let any hair fall out.
Gu Nian's dark eyes reflected the flames, and he said with a smile, "The people here have really thick scalps; they don't even feel the heat when it's burning like this."
Daniel saw Luo Jianxing pull the towel off the rope: "That's what I use to wipe my feet."
Unfortunately, he couldn't understand. He hurriedly ran to the sink and wet the towel, saying, "Here comes the wet towel."
Luo Shimiao covered his head with a damp towel and then gave him a head massage.
She took a deep breath and slowly lifted the towel.
"Pfft~" Luo Jianxing couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha... The pot lid has a new handle."
The patch of hair in the center of his head was burned and stood up, short and curly, while the hair around it was even more gruesome than if a dog had chewed it.
The man asked, "May I open my eyes now?"
"Wait a little longer." Luo Shimiao reached into Gu Nian's pocket, took out his wallet, and pulled out the largest denomination bill: "You can open your eyes now."
The man eagerly opened his eyes, the light in them gradually fading.
Luo Shimiao held the money between her fingers, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "This is your surprise, are you satisfied?"
The light returned to his eyes. He took the banknotes and smiled sincerely: "Very satisfied!" He took off the cape and walked out of the barbershop without looking back.
Daniel lifted the curtain and came out, holding a takeout box containing food: "It's ready."
"Thanks." Luo Shimiao took it, gave them a wink, and left!
"We're going back now."
"Wait, there's still a lot of food left," Daniel called out to them.
"That's your payment."
Luo Jianxing turned to him and said, "Kiss, kiss, kiss."
"Kiss, kiss, kiss." He wiped his eyes as he watched them get into the car.
The black sedan disappeared from his sight.
