Starting from noon and going until sunset, the wind and snow gradually stopped and the sky gradually became dark. I wanted to find a cave or something to spend the night, but at this time, Bai Ze suddenly pointed to the northeast and shouted.
"Look, there is light there!"
I looked along what Bai Ze was pointing, and sure enough I saw a black building rising from the ground a few hundred meters away.
That flash of light came from the building.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Following the light, we quickly walked to the building, and then we discovered that it was actually a two-story building with a separate courtyard.
A wall was built with snow downstairs, and a wooden sign hung on the front door with three characters written on it: Affordable Hotel.
This is actually a hotel.
After a brief discussion with our companions, we quickly decided to go there to get some tips, eat something, and stay overnight.
After all, sleeping in a warm bed is always more comfortable than spending a night in a grotto.
Gao Tianyi said that this land of the dead is full of three religions and nine streams, either evil people or evil ghosts, so I asked everyone to be alert and immediately stepped into the hotel.
This hotel is not big, with a restaurant on the first floor and an inn on the second floor. We plan to have something to eat first and then go upstairs to get some rooms to sleep.
In the lobby on the first floor, there are a few wooden tables scattered here and there. There are grease twists on the table tops, and there are still rice stains left on them from the previous wave of guests, which looks disgusting.
We searched around but didn't see a clean table, so we had to give up and randomly find a seat by the corner and sit down.
"Boss, order!"
Bai Ze snapped his fingers and shouted towards the kitchen.
Soon, a tall, middle-aged man with a sinewy face came over.
"What to eat?"
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, revealing a pair of big gold teeth. He glanced at us and said in an impatient voice.
"What do you have to eat here?"
I asked looking at the big gold tooth.
Snapped!
Da Jinya threw a greasy menu over.
"See for yourself!"
Seeing that Da Jinya's attitude was so bad, Bai Ze was about to explode. I quickly signaled with my eyes, and Bai Ze finally endured it.
"Let's have beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, a green onion and an egg, a pork rib soup, a frozen fish, and five bowls of rice."
After scanning the menu, I said to the big gold tooth.
Da Jinya ignored me, picked up the menu and walked to the kitchen.
"Brother Cheng, this guy is too arrogant. We are here to eat. Why does he look like we owe him money?"
Looking at Da Jinya's back, Bai Ze said with dissatisfaction.
"Brother Bai, it's better to do less than to do more. This land of the dead is no better than the outside world. We don't understand the situation here yet, so we'd better bear with it."
I smiled in relief.
Bai Ze just curled his lips and didn't say much.
Not long after, Da Jinya came over with a tray, put the dishes we ordered on the table, turned around and left.
"Isn't this amount too small? It's not enough to fill the gaps between teeth."
After looking at the dishes on the plate, Bai Ze said with an unhappy expression.
"This rice is cold and too hard."
An Anjing took a bite of rice and couldn't help but frown.
"Everyone, please be patient and fill your stomach first."
I asked Lonnie to check and confirm that there was nothing wrong with the food, then I picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started to eat happily.
Although the food was very stiff, it was better than eating the dry food I brought. After all, it was a place of the dead and I couldn’t ask for too much, so I didn’t say much.
Everyone saw that I was no longer talking, so they began to eat without thinking. After a while, when they were full and full, I called the boss to come over and pay the bill.
The big gold tooth came over with the bill and stretched out five fingers.
"five hundred?"
“Although it’s not cheap, it’s still acceptable.”
I was about to ask Baize to pay the bill, but the big gold tooth snorted coldly.
"Who told you five hundred? I said five thousand!"
What the hell?
I was suddenly startled, this was like a lion opening its mouth!
The food we ate was worth a hundred yuan if we put it out, but this guy actually asked for five thousand with just one mouthful. Isn’t this robbery?
"Boss, you are too shady. This thing costs five thousand..."
"I have the final say in my shop!"
I wanted to argue for a while, but Da Jinya interrupted me arrogantly: "Stop talking nonsense and get the money!"
The other party was so unreasonable, and I couldn't hold it any longer. Looking at the big gold teeth with a ferocious face, I couldn't help but sneer.
"What will you do if I don't pay?"
"you dare!"
Da Jinya shouted angrily: "If you don't pay, don't even think about walking out of my store!"
When Big Gold Tooth got angry, I suddenly saw a black mist surge up from his back, and a ferocious-looking water monkey stuck its head out and smiled ferociously at me.
"Whoever dares to eat for free in our store is seeking death!"
At the same time, there was a roar from the back kitchen, and then I saw a man in his twenties with a sinister face rushing towards me holding a kitchen knife.
"Dad, are they the ones who want to default on the debt?"
The man pointed the kitchen knife at us and asked the big gold tooth.
But I saw the black air lingering on the kitchen knife, and there was a faint roar coming from inside.
Da Jinya chuckled: "Son, don't be violent yet. I believe that they can come to this land of the dead, and they are not people without discernment."
"Let's see if they want to pay first."
After saying that, the big gold tooth folded his arms and looked at us, waiting for our decision.
The father and son, one carrying a water monkey and the other harboring evil spirits with a knife, dared to open a black shop in the land of the dead, and indeed they had certain means.
When we first arrived in the Land of the Dead, we encountered such a problem. I wonder what awaits us in the depths of the Land of the Dead?
I didn't feel nervous at all, but instead became more and more interested in this place of the dead.
"Brother Bai, pay."
I glanced at Bai Ze and said lightly.
"What?"
Bai Ze was stunned: "Brother Cheng, why do you need to give them money? We..."
"Paying for meals is a matter of course. We didn't inquire about the price in advance. We can't blame others."
I said calmly: "Stop arguing and just pay."
Bai Ze's face was filled with astonishment. After hesitating for a few seconds, he obediently took out a wad of bills and threw them over.
"Those who know the current affairs are distinguished. It seems that you are commending them."
Da Jinya smiled, put the banknotes into his pocket, and said at the same time: "Son, put the kitchen knife away."
"Okay, the money has been paid, you can leave."
Da Jinya waved his hand and said to us.
"Who said we were leaving."
I pointed upstairs: "Isn't your second floor an inn? We still need to stay in an inn."
Da Jinya was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that we had just been ripped off and yet we dared to stay in his hotel.
