Chapter 011 Sansheng Inn (Update 1)
One sentence made Jiang Bai's skin crawl.
Welcome back?
Have you ever been to Sansheng Inn? !
Jiang Bai stared at the paper man. Whenever the other party made the slightest move, Jiang Bai would take action as soon as possible, killing all those who threatened him, and then escape.
This paper figurine is very ordinary, made to look like a boy and a girl, and is said to be for welcoming guests, but the paper figurine is placed inside the Sansheng Inn.
In ordinary inns and hotels, guests are always outside.
After the paper man said that sentence, he stopped talking, like a dead thing.
He rushed to Jiang Bai's side and smiled,
"Are you scared?"
Jiang Bai frowned, "What?"
Pujie explained,
"The paper figures here will only shout 'Welcome back' when you first arrive, as if you had been to Sansheng Inn in your previous life. In fact, it is just a little trick to pretend to be a ghost.
This is not the first time I have come to Sansheng Inn. Why don’t you see a paper man to welcome me? "
After Poujie explained, seeing that Jiang Bai still didn't believe it, he simply waited aside with Jiang Bai.
Not long after, there was a new guest at Sansheng Inn. The paper man opened his mouth and said in the same voice,
"Mr. Liu Liangyi, welcome back..."
This man was also startled, and in panic, he even turned around and ran away.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Bai was thoughtful.
Pujie explained,
"When you enter Sansheng Inn, you are considered to be staying, and when you leave, you are considered to have left the hotel. All accounts are cleared. Every time you enter and leave, you will be worth a life span. Being frightened by the paper man, you will lose a life span for no reason."
If Jiang Bai came alone, he would probably leave Sansheng Inn first and then make plans later.
This layer of design is not clever, but it is very practical.
The more cautious a person is, the easier it is to fall into this trap.
This is also the reason why the paper man welcoming guests is placed inside instead of outside.
If it is placed outside and the paper man suddenly speaks and scares the guests away before the guests enter the Sansheng Inn, then one life dollar will not be earned.
Jiang Bai didn't ask Poujie why he didn't tell him this in advance, because he didn't believe Poujie from the beginning.
Jiang Bai is curious about another thing,
"Why is it that neither Chu Man nor the Third Research Institute mentioned this matter?"
Most powerful people will fall into this design of paper man welcoming guests. Just mentioning it in the information can save people a life span.
Why not do such a simple thing?
After listening to Jiang Bai's question, he smiled again and explained,
"Jiang Bai, destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. This Sansheng Inn has a special purpose in taking Shouyuan, and it has a great background. Even the Third Research Institute does not dare to offend easily, so naturally it will not destroy someone's wealth for no reason. "
As the saying goes, if you lose money, you will avoid disaster.
The design of this floor of Sansheng Inn is indeed not authentic, but one thing is that the door of the inn is open, and people come and go of their own free will.
You entered Sansheng Inn voluntarily and left voluntarily. No one forced you. Who is to blame?
Do you have to blame yourself for being too cautious?
Putting aside the matter of the paper man greeting guests at the door, Jiang Bai asked again,
"Are there any other weird rules?"
"Every rule here is weird, Mr. Jiang Bai, follow me."
Poujie walked in front, Jiang Bai followed.
The lobby of the inn is more spacious than expected. There are more than ten Eight Immortals tables scattered here and there. Each table is equipped with four long benches. There is a teapot on the table and eight bowls upside down.
When passing by the Eight Immortals Table, I jumped on the street and pointed at the tables and chairs.
"Eating here is very particular. It is divided into standing eating, squatting eating, sitting eating, and eating at the table."
Eating while standing, as the name suggests, stands at the counter, just like Kong Yiji, and takes care of it.
Squatting down to eat is a bit interesting. It means using a long bench as a table, with the dishes placed on the bench, and people squatting down to eat.
Eating while sitting, sitting on a long bench, keeping the bowls and chopsticks in hand, and not serving the table.
The last one, served on the table, is just like ordinary people eating, no different.
"The prices for these four ways of eating are different. It's free to eat while standing, NT$1 for squatting, NT$3 for sitting down, and NT$10 for eating at the table!"
Listening to Pujie's introduction, Jiang Bai raised his doubts.
"Shouyuan is extremely precious. You charge longevity just for the way you eat, and the prices are different. There must be an explanation, right?"
There is indeed a saying.
Poujie patiently explained,
“Eating while standing, anyone can attack and take the food out of your hands.
If you eat squatting and put the dishes on the chair, the food is safe, but other diners can attack you at will and kill you, and your portion of the food will become ownerless.
When you sit and eat, you are safe. Others can only snatch your food, but they cannot hurt you at all. As for how to snatch the food, everyone depends on their ability.
When you eat it on the table, both people and food are safe. 10 longevity dollars has the value of 10 longevity dollars, right? "
Expensive things are always expensive for a reason, but the only drawback is that they are expensive.
If there are other disadvantages, it's probably that it's not expensive enough.
After Pujie explained this, Jiang Bai felt a new interest in his heart.
"The food at Sansheng Inn is very special, or does eating here have special effects?"
According to common sense, it is just a meal, there is no need to waste life.
If you are concerned about safety issues, you can leave Sansheng Inn and find a corner to eat alone.
Sansheng Inn has set so many rules just for eating, which just shows that there is a lot of emphasis on eating!
Either the food is special or the place is special.
"Both."
After Pujie opened his mouth, he patiently said like a diligent commentator,
"As a secret tomb, Sansheng Inn is very special. There is an extremely domineering domain in the inn that can suppress all out-of-control abilities..."
Jiang Bai: Oh?
There is a domineering domain there?
Why don't I feel a little domineering?
"Domain suppression is only temporary, and the secret food of the inn can completely eliminate the hidden dangers of out-of-control. The more you eat, the stronger you will be. Some people even broke through from the master of the hall to the third sublimation in Sansheng Inn!"
Pujie grinned and continued,
"This is only in the inn. If you have a harvest outside, bring it back to the inn, spend your life to let the kitchen process it, and make it into a delicious dish. After eating it, you will benefit a lot. As for the ingredients... It's a bit heavy. The kitchen here doesn't cook living things. Any ghosts or things related to ghosts are their ingredients!"
An inn that uses ghosts as ingredients, Jiang Bai feels that this Sansheng Inn is getting more and more interesting.
Jiang Bai asked curiously,
"Where do so many ghosts come from around here?"
"This has something to do with the next secret tomb..."
Before Pujie finished speaking, the entrance of Sansheng Inn became lively, and several people walked into the inn, talking and laughing.
They wore vests, jackets, fisherman hats, paper fishing rods, and a wastebasket in their hands. There seemed to be something alive struggling in the wastebasket.
This group of people were obviously regular customers of Sansheng Inn. They walked directly to the counter and handed over the wastebasket with ease.
"Old rules, three people, sit down and eat."
"Okay!"
A waiter took the wastebasket enthusiastically and shouted,
"Four fried Huangquan ghost carps, three bowls of ghost frog noodles!"
Hearing this shout, Jiang Bai couldn't help frowning. This next secret tomb actually produces ghosts?
Pujie spoke at the right time,
"The next secret tomb is called [Huangquan Road]."
