This is a fly restaurant with special characteristics from the underworld.
As the name suggests, this is a small restaurant that only flies visit.
There were four plates of dark side dishes on the table. Everyone had a large bowl of porridge in front of them. The brightest thing among them was the plate of sickly cucumbers.
Several other dishes, regardless of the ingredients and methods, seem to be collectively called pickles.
Mr. Bao was not reserved either. He was holding a bowl and drinking porridge as if he were drinking wine. He drank half of the bowl of porridge in one gulp.
Sitting next to them were Li Jianguo, Lin Ling and Hei Bai Wuchang, four uneasy people.
It's more like squatting than sitting.
The stool is short, the table is short, Lin Ling alas, impermanence alas.
Li Jianguo finally understood why Hei Bai Wuchang was unwilling to go out to eat with Bao Zheng just now.
While Bao Zheng was cooking, he glanced at the other people:
"Master Li, you're welcome, eat!"
As he said that, he picked up a large piece of pickles.
"It's a bit shabby, but this one is really good, and the price-performance ratio is not bad. It took me a long time to find such a stable business. If I am too tired, I will come here to improve my life."
Bao Zheng smiled at the boss. The boss smiled and nodded while putting away the table. It seemed that he had known him for a long time.
Li Jianguo was speechless.
"Bao Zheng...are you...improving your life? You are a privy officer, are you treated so poorly in the underworld?"
"That's not true." Bao Zheng took another mouthful of pickles, "But due to personal reasons, all my salary has been paid out in advance. The money that comes to my account every month is not much, but at my age, there is basically no money. Whatever you’re after, it’s enough.”
Li Jianguo suddenly remembered.
Huang Si told himself before that it was Master Bao who hired him.
In other words, most of Bao Zheng's salary was actually paid directly to Huang Si, and then Huang Si used the money to transfer it to the orphanage to raise orphans in the underworld?
Li Jianguo raised his chopsticks, added a mouthful of pickles, and tasted it.
Then he took a big gulp of porridge and barely swallowed the pickles.
This dish...is really delicious.
Bao Zheng patted Li Jianguo's shoulder knowingly: "It's been a bit difficult recently, Mr. Li, please bear with me. How is it? Is it still to your liking? Mr. Xie, Mr. Fan, do you want to eat too?"
Hei Wuchang looked at each other, and Hei Wuchang smiled coquettishly: "Mr. Bao, how about you just invite Master Li? In this way, when we change the venue later, we will also have to invite Master Li!"
Li Jianguo's eyes lit up.
Bao Zheng also nodded while eating hard, as if he was afraid that the food would run away if he didn't eat quickly: "Okay, the places recommended by Mr. Xie and Mr. Fan must not be mentioned, Mr. Li, you can go, like this , I will pack these and go back to eat slowly, and I won’t go with you.”
"Don't mention it," Hei Wuchang quickly stopped him, "Let's go together. We haven't had dinner with you for a long time."
Bao Zheng waved his hand: "Master Fan, look at my table. There are too many dishes. You don't even use your chopsticks. If you don't want to waste food, I will eat more. I won't go when I'm full. You go, you go. .”
"Master Bao," Bai Wuchang also persuaded, "just come with us. We'll eat these together. It'll be fine."
"No, I'll just eat. Just treat Mr. Li well today. You must do a good job on behalf of Hades for the landlord's friendship that I failed to fulfill!"
"Master Bao..."
"There are so many dishes. If you can't finish them, it will be wasted. If I don't eat them, who will eat them..."
Several people were pulling at each other, and Lin Ling, who had been silent all this time, stretched out her hand, poured four dishes into a plate, then brought it to her mouth, and in the blink of an eye, the four dishes went into her stomach like a vacuum cleaner. .
He picked up a bowl of porridge in front of him, raised his neck, and drank it all in one gulp.
The bowl of porridge he took from Li Jianguo was cooked in the same way, goo-dong, goo-dong, goo-dong.
In just a few seconds, the plates and bowls on the table were all clear.
Lin Ling reservedly took out a piece of paper from her clothes, wiped her mouth, and looked at the group of men on the table who seemed to have frozen in time, staring at her dumbfounded.
Lin Ling felt a little uncomfortable and asked Li Jianguo in a low voice:
"Can I... be a bit more discerning this time?"
…
Hei Wuchang led the way, followed by Bai Wuchang, Bao Zheng, Li Jianguo and Lin Ling.
These people were walking slowly on the street, and the people beside them were walking in a hurry, with different expressions. A lot of things happened in Hades today. Right now, most people are thinking about one question: In this crisis, what can I do for Hades (to make big money)?
Everyone invariably bypassed Li Jianguo and his party, because this team was not simple at first glance. Needless to say, black and white are impermanent, most people in the underworld are very afraid of him; and Lord Bao's illustrious reputation makes even more people in the underworld fearful.
There is a saying in the underworld: Don't make stories with people who wear black and white, otherwise you may become a story; don't yell at people who can't be seen in the dark, otherwise Master Bao will not be unjust if he lets you go to jail.
This legendary "person invisible in the dark" - Bao Zheng now frowned and gestured with his hands while moving forward slowly. He still hadn't figured out how Lin Ling... could clear all the food on the table like magic?
Li Jianguo followed the team and asked Lin Ling in a low voice:
"You show off all the food from the underworld?"
Lin Ling nodded:
"It's true that the food isn't that good, but when I was a kid, I remember eating similar to this for a long time, so it tastes okay."
"Is your family... so difficult?"
"This is how it is in mountain villages, so I have to pass the exam. There is really no future in the job of Onmyoji."
Li Jianguo looked at Lin Ling's belly thoughtfully and saw no signs of bulging:
"Are you going to hold on now?"
"No, I don't eat with open stomach. Girls always have to be more reserved."
Li Jianguo nodded slowly and muttered: "Your appetite... can at least explain why your family is in such difficulty."
"Master Li, what did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Let's go. You can eat today as if it's for you."
It’s not like you’re spending your own money anyway.
Hei Wuchang's voice came from the front: "It's right here, we're here, Mr. Li, Lin Ling, please."
Li Jianguo raised his eyes.
The decoration of the hotel is quite grand. Among the tall brick and concrete buildings, the hotel's facade is a gatehouse covered with glazed tiles. However, the glazed tiles of the hotel are all black, supplemented by the lacquer door and black pillars, making it solemn and solemn.
Li Jianguo felt as if he had encountered such a description before.
Li Jianguo suddenly remembered.
Isn’t this the Meng Po Hotel?
…
Several people stopped at the door of Meng Po Hotel.
Li Jianguo suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been kicked on the butt here during the day.
By the way, I haven’t paid for the meal during the day.
Li Jianguo's memory of this place was not very good. He waved his hand and said to Black and White Wuchang: "How about changing to another restaurant? If you want to eat here, I..."
Hei Wuchang smiled and patted Li Jianguo on the shoulder: "Let's go, don't worry, I have saved a little money over the years, Mr. Li, just eat it!"
Li Jianguo was about to say a few words when Hei Wuchang pushed him up the steps of the hotel. He had no choice but to lift his legs and walk in.
"Today, the person who was eating the Overlord meal, I just gave him a slap on the butt and kicked him over. There are always a bunch of rubbish who think that just because our restaurant was bombed yesterday, they can come here to find a chance to eat and drink for free. Next time When I see him, I will definitely give him a slap on both sides of his buttocks to let him know that his grandpa is mine...ah, guest, welcome...eh?"
When a few people entered the hotel, they heard a foreperson telling the waiters next to him about today's heroic achievements in a lively manner. When they saw Li Jianguo coming in, they immediately put on a flattering smile and bent over to greet him. When they saw Li Jianguo clearly, His appearance and complexion changed again.
"It's you again," the head waiter said to the other waiters around him with a stern face, "He was the one who had the Overlord meal during the day. I didn't expect that he dared to come here now. What's wrong? Come here to kick me." Yeah?"
Li Jianguo waved his hand: "No, no, I'm here to eat."
The head waiter sneered: "Just you? You have money in one afternoon? I tell you, a scum like you will never be able to enter our hotel. I will put it here today. Even if you have money, you can come to eat. No matter who you are, I will still kick you, so get out of here! Otherwise, I have to let your ass know what size your grandpa’s shoes are!"
"Oh? Little brother, what size are your shoes? I wonder if I can know?"
A deep voice sounded from behind Li Jianguo, and the foreman turned his head to look behind Li Jianguo in confusion. The three souls were immediately frightened.
"Hei Wuchang...no, Fan...Master Fan."
Immediately afterwards, the second soul among the three souls disappeared.
"Bai...Bai Wuchang..."
In the end, there were one soul and seven souls left, all of them were scared to death.
"Bao...bao...bao...bao..."
The foreman gathered his energy and pushed Li Jianguo away quickly. He smiled and bowed to the leaders behind him: "No, no, no, I didn't... I didn't talk to you just now... I was talking to this trash, I see. He is blocking the way of your lords...I asked him to move away quickly..."
Bai Wuchang took a step forward, quickly supported Li Jianguo, and asked, "Master Li, are you okay?"
The foreman's face suddenly turned pale.
"Li...Master Li? Do you think he is...what...Master?"
Hei Wuchang shouted angrily: "I'm asking you a question! What size are your shoes?"
The foreman took half a step back, as if he could no longer stand, and his legs could not stop trembling: "Hei... Master Hei Wuchang, I am blind, I deserve to die, please..."
Bai Wuchang also said coldly at this time: "I heard you tell Mr. Li just now that no matter who he is, you will still kick him. Mr. Li has a distinguished status and I am afraid that he cannot cooperate with you. Why don't you let Mr. Fan do it for you? Just kick Master Fan and don't let your words fall to the ground."
The foreman was at a loss and didn't know how to reply, so Hei Wuchang took a step forward, put one leg on the stool next to him, pointed to his leg and said:
"Since you don't want to, how about I help you demonstrate and let your butt know my shoe size?"
"If you kick me down, I'll be crippled even if I don't die..." The foreman was already sweating profusely and looked at Bao Zheng with an almost begging look: "Bao... Mr. Bao, I was wrong... you make the decision for me. …”
Bao Zheng replied seriously: "Master Li, you are a Heavenly Official. You deliberately attacked a Heavenly Official. You should be punished both emotionally and rationally. What can I do for you?"
The foreman's face was ashen, he lay on the ground and kowtowed to Li Jianguo, louder and louder: "Master Li... I am blind to the mountains. You don't remember the faults of villains, so you treat me like a villain." Just let it go..."
Several people had been standing at the front desk of the hotel for a long time. There was already some agitation in the hotel, and Black and White Wuchang had vented his anger on himself, so Li Jianguo waved his hand generously:
"It's not necessary. Master Xie, Master Fan, Master Bao, I have nothing to do, so there is no need to embarrass him. People who don't know, think that we in Hades are bullying and dominating the market."
The foreman kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic: "Thank you, Mr. Li! Thank you, Mr. Li!"
Li Jianguo stepped forward and helped the foreman up. The foreman's head was already bruised. Li Jianguo waved his hand: "Forget it, just don't ask for trouble in the future. I worked in the service industry like you before. Know your identity." , don’t kill yourself.”
"Thank you, Mr. Li! Thank you, Mr. Li!"
"Go and bandage the wound on your head."
The foreman looked at Hei Wuchang with a questioning look. Hei Wuchang waved his hand, and the foreman bowed his waist and ran into the hotel with great gratitude.
"A little aside," Hei Wuchang said a little embarrassed, "Don't get in a bad mood, Mr. Li, let's go."
Li Jianguo glanced at him. The waiter at the front desk seemed familiar.
He huddled behind the bar and never dared to raise his head.
Where have you seen it?
Forget it, I can’t remember.
Li Jianguo shook his head and strode into the hotel.
