Main Text Chapter 509 Snacks

"Shopkeeper!" The waiter knocked on the counter.

"Hmm..." The scholar dressed as a scholar lying on the counter looked up dazedly, and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Miao Yi thought this guy was pretending to sleep at first. After all, it is unlikely for non-cultivators to be here in such a place, and it would be strange if he could sleep here. But looking at the dazed state of this guy's facial features, he even drooled. It seems that he really slept! He is really generous.

Seeing that the scholar woke up, the waiter smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, the guest has paid the bill. A table of wine and food, please take a guest room."

The scholar yawned, rubbed his face with both hands, and quickly returned to normal. He laughed to Miao Yi and said, "Excuse me, excuse me, what is your name?" He took out a jade tablet from his sleeve and prepared to register.

"Niu Er!" Miao Yi gave his name.

"Niu Er! Ten thousand gold crystals! This is the room number, inner courtyard, second floor." The scholar wrote it down in the jade book, touched a sign under the table, looked at it to confirm the room number, and pushed it in front of Miao Yi.

Miao Yi shook out a pile of gold crystals, ten thousand gold crystals are not a small number, and there was a pile of gold on the table.

The scholar raised his hand and touched it, cast a spell to sweep it, confirmed the number, and then turned his hand back and swept it directly into the storage ring, stretched out his hand to make a gesture to invite him from behind, but found that Miao Yi was looking at him with a puzzled look.

"Sir! Please follow me." The waiter also stretched out his hand to invite him.

Miao Yi couldn't move his feet for a while, because after the scholar's dazed features gradually returned to normal, he suddenly looked a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

The scholar also felt that Miao Yi looked a little familiar because of Miao Yi's reaction.

Miao Yi quickly realized who this person was. After all, he didn't know many people in Liuyunshahai. Once he had an impression, he was immediately stunned. Isn't this the scholar who was in the group of the proprietress who met in Miaofa Temple on a rainy night? He is the shopkeeper here, so who is the proprietress? Could it be...

"You..." The scholar also pointed at Miao Yi, and seemed to remember something, looking down and up from time to time. But he couldn't tell who it was. He touched his chin and muttered: "Niu Er...Niu Er..." Instead, he was somewhat misled by Miao Yi's pseudonym. If Miao Yi didn't give his name, he might remember it instead, after all, it had been a hundred years.

Miao Yi wanted to remind him, but he looked back at the scattered guests in the hall, turned around and nodded to the waiter. He followed the waiter.

The waiter who led the way also looked back every three steps to look at Miao Yi who was thinking with his head down. He seemed to be a little surprised by the shopkeeper's reaction. As a result, he almost bumped into the door panel. He pushed the door panel with his hand and moved to the exit. He smiled and led Miao Yi into a three-entry courtyard.

Miao Yi didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, and was thinking about the encounter just now. It was not until he was led to the door of the second-floor room in the inner courtyard and the waiter opened the door and invited him in that he came to his senses and thanked him.

The waiter lit the oil lamp and left. Miao Yi looked around the small room, which had a simple wooden table, a wooden chair and a wooden bed. It couldn't be simpler, but it was also clean.

Pull the wooden bolt. Open the wooden window that was closed tightly without window paper. The breeze came from the window. The night was quiet, the stars were shining, and the lights were not known to anyone.

"This is Liuyunshahai..." Miao Yi muttered to himself. Due to the window, he couldn't see the full view outside now, so he closed the window. He prepared to wait until dawn and sat cross-legged on the bed.

But he was restless and soon lay on the bed with his legs up, his arms resting on his head. He couldn't help but think about the scholar again.

If he remembered correctly, the scholars and others in Miaofa Temple called the woman the boss lady, and the scholar appeared here as the shopkeeper. Could that woman be the proprietress of Fengyun Inn? How could that woman be so powerful in Xingxiu Sea? It is also possible that after so many years, this Confucian scholar has changed his allegiance...

Miao Yi was tossing and turning, his mind full of random thoughts. He could have gone forward to recognize her, but he was afraid that the other party would remember his name. He used his real name in Miaofa Temple. Now with the Xingxiu Sea Anti-Rebellion Association, he is already famous as a top ten person. If he recognizes her, his official identity may be exposed. He doesn't know what attitude these Confucian scholars have towards official people. If he reveals his identity, he may be in trouble.

Miao Yi was so confused that he felt it was just too much of a coincidence. When he first entered the desert, he had thought of the boss lady and her gang, and he was looking forward to seeing them. But when he turned around, he bumped into them. He was a little afraid to recognize them...

The scholar behind the counter outside was also twisting and turning on his chair, his head twisting and turning, muttering, "I must have seen him before, Niu Er... Niu Er... Do you know anyone named Niu Er? This seems to be the first time I've heard of this name." He picked up the jade book and looked at the name registered in it, "Niu Er, such a simple and easy to remember name is impossible to forget , why does this name feel a bit like a fake name? It's normal for people who come here to use fake names, um... fake name... fake name..."

It can be said that a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind. The scholar's eyes touched the night outside, and he was suddenly startled. His thoughts went back to a rainy night in an ancient temple, where a young man fought a group of zombies...

"It's him!" The scholar's eyes lit up, raised his eyebrows and muttered, and suddenly ran out of the counter and greeted a waiter, "Watch out."

The rectangular courtyard with three entrances, the second door house that crosses the rectangular courtyard in the middle is where the inn's warehouse and kitchen are located. The scholar ran in, the kitchen had been turned off, he went into the warehouse next to it, and saw the guy in charge of the kitchen sitting cross-legged on the couch.

"What are you doing here?" The cook on the couch opened his eyes for a moment, then closed them again.

The Confucian scholar leaned close to him and murmured in a low voice: "Someone you would never expect has come to the inn."

The cook glanced at him again and said, "I didn't expect there were so many people. What's so strange about it?"

"This man is different."

"Why is it different? It has three heads and six arms?"

"Of course it's different. He hugged the boss's wife and touched her breasts and butt..."

"What?" The cook's eyes suddenly widened, "Who is it? The boss is back?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful if your old man hears it and slaps you all over the floor. The boss and the boss's wife haven't reached that step yet!" The Confucian scholar sighed and reminded in a low voice: "In Fairyland, that boy from Miaofa Temple, remember Are you up yet?"

"He..." the cook said in surprise: "Miao Yi?"

A person who can impress people must have something impressive about him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to name him outright.

The Confucian scholar nodded, "He has changed his name now, but I am sure it is him, and he must have recognized me..."

So soon, there was a knock on Miao Yi's door, and the cook stood outside and shouted: "Your Majesty, your tea."

Miao Yi, who was lying on the bed, said, "No need."

The cook outside the door was speechless, scratched his head, and returned with the tray. But not long after, he came again and knocked on the door again, "Sir, your snacks."

Miao Yi, who was lying on the bed with his arms on the pillow, turned his head. It was strange. Although the ten thousand gold crystals were a bit expensive, they were really worth the money. Not only did they bring tea at night, but there were also snacks.

Tea is waived. He is a little curious about what kind of snacks are being served this night. Desserts from Fengyun Inn? I got out of bed and opened the door. When I saw the cook, I immediately stared at him.

I have seen them all before, and I know them well, so I can say that I recognized each other at a glance.

Miao Yi silently stepped out of the way. The cook put the contents of the tray on the table, smiled and said, "You can use it as you please." He turned around and left.

As soon as I went out, someone opened the door and shouted: "Give me a snack too."

The cook who came downstairs replied: "It's very expensive. If you want to eat, go to the counter to pay first." He dismissed it casually.

After closing the door, Miao Yi put his hands behind his back and walked around the table, staring at the steaming bowl of braised pork elbow on the table, with a pot of wine on the side. This is the first time I have seen braised pork elbow served as a snack at night. It is indeed a strange place.

Give it a try! Miao Yi poured the wine, lifted up his chopsticks to taste it, and found that it tasted pretty good...

On the other side, as soon as the cook entered the kitchen, the Confucian scholar immediately came over and asked, "Did you see that? Am I right?"

"It's him!" The cook put the tray down and nodded: "Some people practice ten years to experience the changes of a mortal in one year, some practice for a hundred years to experience the changes of a mortal in one year, and some practice for a thousand years to experience the changes of a mortal in one year. You can see it. This guy’s cultivation is progressing well. It’s been almost a hundred years, right? His temperament has become much calmer. I remember he’s a member of the Immortal Kingdom. What’s he doing here?”

At this moment, a waiter came in from outside. He looked around and smiled at the Confucian scholar: "Shopkeeper, someone wants to taste the snacks in our inn."

The Confucian scholar frowned and said, "What kind of snacks? Where did you get these snacks from the inn? It's almost dawn. If you want to eat them, let him have breakfast at dawn."

The waiter smiled bitterly and said: "He said that he often stays at the inn and has never tasted the inn's snacks. He said that he just saw a waiter in the store giving it to other guests and thought he couldn't miss it. They are now getting a lot of money. Wait at the counter."

The Confucian scholar and the cook looked at each other, probably understanding what was going on.

The Confucian scholar chuckled at the twitching cook and said, "The inn is open for business. It's impossible not to make money. I'll collect the money and ask for a higher price. You go ahead. Tsk tsk! I guess I'll come here in the name of 'dim sum' in the future." There will be no shortage of people." After saying that, he waved his headscarf, tossed his sleeves and walked away.

Flowing clouds and sea of ​​sand! After dawn, Miao Yi left the room, climbed to the roof and looked around. He finally understood why this place was called Liuyunshahai.

In the dry desert land, faint clouds and mist come from nowhere, and there are coconut trees everywhere. It seems that wherever there are coconut trees, there are clouds and mist.

Where there are coconut trees there are also houses, one on the east and one on the west. Looking around, there are sporadic and irregular civil houses everywhere. They are not high. Most of them are bungalows. Two-story houses like Fengyun Inn are rare.
