Chapter 281 Increase Sales

The mountain behind Laiqu Inn is Meihua Mountain.

Of course, you can't chop down the plum blossom trees on that mountain. The proprietress and her team planted them one by one. It's a lot of hard work. It's very painful to chop down each one.

Therefore, the three of them went to the inn early in the morning, locked the door, hung a wooden sign saying "Thank you today", and walked along another mountain road.

Because it was only the beginning of winter, and the weather had been changeable recently, with temperatures rising and cooling, there was no heavy snowfall.

The way up the mountain is pretty easy.

Most of the leaves on both sides have fallen, and cutting firewood is also very particular. After all, different trees have different effects after being burned into charcoal.

When some charcoal is burned, not only the temperature is high enough, but also it can emit a grassy aroma.

pity.

This is the knowledge blind spot of several people.

When the three of them saw a tree they liked, they cut it into sections and put them in the basket.

Come down in one morning.

Mei Sanniang was already sweating profusely, but the cook was in good condition. The knife in his hand was just an ordinary hatchet, but it had a certain charm in his hand.

Almost one tree per cut.

Li Changxiao is also good. Although he usually uses a sword, his strength is enough.

Instead, he chopped and chopped.

The dishonest Mei Sanniang had a crooked idea and she happened to be caught by Li Changxiao when she was stealing wood from the cook.

Mei Sanniang made a "shh" sound to signal Li Changxiao to stop talking, and then tried to corrupt his soul with her beauty and let the matter rot in his stomach.

However, Li Changxiao agreed on the surface, but actually went to complain to the cook. After learning the truth, the proprietress was so angry that she chased him twice with her shoes in hand.

final.

Mei Sanniang, whose deeds were exposed.

Under the supervision of the two, all the owed shares were cut off.

He kept complaining:

Two grown men bullying a weak woman of their own, bah, how shameless.

Alas, I don’t know who the boss lady is.

The tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by the dog.

…

The two of them were already accustomed to Mei Sanniang's tricks.

But while collecting firewood, a strange thing happened.

There was a sound in the distance.

Low and obscure.

Mei Sanniang recognized him immediately and said in a deep voice: "Sacrifice way."

The three of them looked at each other and decided to follow the voice and go over to find out.

Following the sound, we walked about three miles.

The three of them lay in the snow and looked towards the top of a mountain. Sure enough, they saw more than ten men in white, dancing some kind of dance around a bonfire.

"Sacrificial Way - Dancer"

"Use sacrificial dance to extend life, but different sacrifices must be offered. The specific sacrifices are related to the things you believe in."

Mei Sanniang said slowly.

Li Changxiao didn't know much about the Sacrifice Path. It seemed that compared to the Sacrifice Path, the Life-stealing Path, the Aperture Path, etc., the Sacrifice Path could prolong life in many fewer ways, and it was also much more mysterious.

"The sacrifice seems to be two people," the cook said.

The sacrificial path is somewhat evil. It is not surprising that the sacrifices are human beings. Mei Sanniang thought for a while and decided to save the two people. Anyway, she didn't think the people in the sacrificial path would be able to deal with them.

How could those people from the Sacrifice Road be the opponents of Li Changxiao and the others?

Those who had almost no ability to resist were killed and fled in all directions.

The two people rescued were a pair of siblings.

They are still young and trembling while hugging each other. The three of them have to choose one person to negotiate with the siblings. The person who negotiates can be exempted from the work of "carrying firewood".

Mei Sanniang naturally volunteered. She said that she was a woman and had a natural affinity for children, so it was best for her to do it.

But the cook refused.

He voted firmly against it.

The boss lady's behavior was too inappropriate and she was afraid it would have a bad influence on the children.

And the cook was a boring gourd, unable to hold back a sentence for a long time. After much deliberation, Li Changxiao was the most suitable. He happened to have an easy-going personality and his affinity for outsiders was no lower than Mei Sanniang.

Although the words were reasonable, Ke Mei Sanniang refused to accept it and said with a sneer that if she was a naughty bitch, Li Changxiao would be an alcoholic. This rebuttal was not valid.

As the innkeeper's wife, she sternly rejected the offer and punched each of the two men.

Especially Li Changxiao, who almost stole her job, she punched him one more time.

At the same time, he was wary of whether these two men would force him to marry him and covet his position as the "boss" of the inn.

However, Li Changxiao's light words instantly made her unable to refute.

I saw him put down the wine gourd that was in his mouth, then screwed on the lid and said, "I can stop drinking, can you stop being slutty?"

As soon as these words came out.

Mei Sanniang's face was stiff and she was defeated. This was really not possible.

But in the end, Li Changxiao chose to carry firewood and let Mei Sanniang negotiate with the two children. On the way back, the cook thought about it and made a suggestion. It was better to take turns taking care of them.

Return to the inn.

Such a small thing still took a whole day. It was dull but could not be said to be boring.

There was also a smile on the cook's face.

This atmosphere... finally changed a lot.

"I'm going to cook."

He put on his chef's robe.

The sound is also a bit louder.

Looks very energetic.

As for the two brothers and sisters, they were naturally left in the care of an alcoholic and a woman.

In fact, the two siblings were not afraid of the two men. They even thought that they were handsome, and their behavior and speaking style were very unique and interesting. They could not help but observe their every move and imitate them intentionally.

Li Changxiao realized this.

He coughed heavily.

He looked at Mei Sanniang.

They each took a step back. He did not drink, and Mei Sanniang... was a little more dignified.

After all, they were the hope of the future. If the two children grew up to love drinking and being coquettish because of their influence, it would be a great sin.

The two asked about their origins and reasons.

Only then did they know.

The two men had a great origin. They were rich children. Unfortunately, they were caught by human traffickers when they went out to play. They were sold all the way and finally came here after many twists and turns.

The homes of the two siblings were estimated to be dozens of miles away from here. In fact, this was not far from the two of them. It was just that the restaurant was "in ruins" recently, and they were a little busy.

So, they stayed here for a few days.

When I am free, I will send them back.

Because the cart of food I bought yesterday has just arrived, Laiqu Inn is rich in supplies, so today's dinner is also very rich.

Three meat dishes and two vegetables.

There is also a lotus root and pork ribs soup.

Five people sit in a row.

There is firewood burning in the fireplace next to it, and the inn is very warm. There is light snow outside.

The two children are too hungry and bury their heads in the food.

Li Changxiao and the three adults are worried. In the early days of Laiqu Inn, most of the business was done by monks. Later, the area continued to shrink, and the number of the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit increased. Some monks only come once every few decades.

In addition, with the development of the reform, in addition to "spiritual energy", monks have gradually acquired other magical powers, which can greatly increase the speed of travel.

Under various factors, business is not so good.

Now, Laiqu Inn is still often visited by monks, or... Most monks will come here to sit when they pass by.

But the money of monks...

It's not easy to earn!

At most, they would order a few cups of tea, take a break, chat and leave.

There are very few people like Li Changxiao who stay here for a long time.

The main income of Laiqu Inn.

It still has to come from those mortals who visit occasionally.

Mei Sanniang has put her words here today.

The turnover of Laiqu Inn must be increased!
