Journey to the West: Start by rejecting the Guanyin layout

Chapter 89 The restaurant is so popular that scalpers appear, He Xiangu curses the black shop
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Hey, hey, be careful, don't get the hair on the plate."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The six-eared macaque nodded in response. It found a miraculous thing. Even these plates seemed to have magical power attached to them. Calm down.

"Don't dawdle, I will also clean the stove, if there is a strand of hair, you don't even want to eat."

The six-eared macaque smiled wryly after hearing this, and said, "Bodhisattva, if you don't say anything, you still say it. Once you say it, I'm really hungry. I was beaten so hard by you just now that I have no strength."

Seeing the misery of the six-eared macaque, the Bodhisattva also felt compassion: "You should eat the half-steamed buns left by the previous guest to fill your stomach first."

The six-eared macaque said in his heart that this is too unreasonable, I will work for you, and you will eat half of my head?

The Bodhisattva sneered and said, "Six-eared Macaque, don't be ignorant of what's good and what's wrong. A monster like you who takes refuge in Buddhism and does evil will not end well. In the end, it's up to you whether you can stay in the shop and work."

"Besides, do you think it's easy to leave half of the steamed buns in the store? If the customer accidentally dropped the steamed buns on the ground and was bitten by a dog, he would definitely not refuse to eat them. Originally, I washed them and prepared them for supper. Damn, I saw that you haven’t eaten for more than 100 years, and you are pitiful, do you know that?”

The face of the six-eared macaque changed drastically: "What! It turned out to be a steamed bun that fell on the ground and was bitten by a dog. Bodhisattva, are you kidding me again?"

"It's fine if you don't eat, I'll keep it for myself for supper later."

The six-eared macaque paused, looking at the half-drawn steamed bun, there was a special magical power to attract him, and his mouth salivated naturally.

Gritting my teeth, I thought: Forget it, I haven’t eaten anything serious for more than 100 years. When I was in the endless abyss, I didn’t even have to eat grass. I could only eat bugs and drink copper juice and molten iron. Now it’s good to have steamed buns.

He grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a little bit, and wanted to swallow it in his stomach.

Suddenly, the six-eared macaque's eyes widened: Oh my God, this soft and sweet taste!Is it eating steamed buns or snacks, how can it be so delicious?

But after swallowing the steamed buns, the six-eared macaque instantly felt his exhaustion disappear, and the pain that caused him pain was relieved by half, and the injury healed a lot.

"This steamed bun is amazing! It tastes better than bananas and peaches!"

The six-eared macaque licked the corners of its mouth unsatisfied.

"Bodhisattva, where did you buy this? From now on, I won't eat bananas, just eat steamed buns."

Avalokitesvara gave it a blank look, usually when customers come to eat in the store, they can't wait to refill all the plates, where there is still something left, I just picked it up with great difficulty, but it's cheap, you monster!
"Boss Lu made it himself, there is no place to buy it."

"Hurry up and work, and drag the store inside and out when you're done. I'll find Boss Lu tomorrow and ask him to keep you as a handyman."

The six-eared macaque said happily: "It turns out that this thing is made by the boss, good craftsmanship, good craftsmanship, if I can learn two things, I can also make a fortune."

Avalokitesvara disdains: "Just you, a monster, are worthy of learning the skills of the God of Cooking? Don't wishful thinking!"

The six-eared macaque was a little disappointed: "It doesn't matter, I'm satisfied if I can eat the dishes cooked by Boss Lu every day."

Guanyin sneered and said, "Do you think there will be customers left for such a good dish? Work honestly and don't think wildly."

"Let me tell you, Boss Lu is very lazy, so you must have life in your eyes, and you must be quick and diligent in doing things, and don't let people shout to move."

"He is also very picky. I work here. There are so many things inside and out. He only pays me five cents a month. Don't even think about it. If you have a stutter, just have a place to live."

The six-eared macaque complained: "I'm also a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and I didn't come from a remote village, and I'm not a refugee either. You can't treat me like a free laborer."

Guanyin said: "Six-eared macaque, you still don't know your situation! You are a refugee now, do you know how difficult it is to find a job now? What's more, you are still a wild monster that has not been registered as a monster. Heihu, it would be nice to have a place to live in. Besides, don’t forget that you are still a remnant of Buddhism, aren’t you afraid that the heavenly soldiers and generals will beat you to pieces and your soul will be scattered?”

Hearing what Guanyin Bodhisattva said, how could the six-eared macaque dare to refute, thinking about it and curiously said:

"Bodhisattva, don't tell me you don't count this store?"

"Whether I can decide, you will know tomorrow."

The next day, when Lu Feng came to Chongtian Restaurant, he saw a long-haired man with a monkey face cleaning the table, Miao Shan was sitting at the counter, holding a small abacus, as if he was counting the accounts.

"who are you?"

Lu Feng asked.

Miao Shan came out quickly: "Boss Lu, you are here. This man is a monster who has just cultivated in the mountains and forests. He couldn't bear the hardships in the mountains, so he wanted to live in the world. I saw him pitiful, so I kept him. "

Lu Feng said: "Although the monster race and the human race live together now, it's nothing to have a monster race handyman in the restaurant, but who gave you the right to keep wild monsters in my shop?"

Miao Shan whispered in Lu Feng's ear: "Boss Lu, this monster doesn't understand anything, it doesn't even care about the wages for its work here, it just needs to be given two steamed buns, and it can also help look after the store."

Lu Feng nodded and didn't think too much about it. There were not too many monkey monsters in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, because Monkey King beat off Guanyin and saved the king of Tang. Tang people are very friendly to monkey spirits, and they also like and worship Monkey King very much.

Lu Feng asked: "He stayed to work, so what do I need you to do?"

Miao Shan explained: "I can settle the accounts for you, and I can also be the waiter in the shop, greet your customers and serve you food. This monkey spirit, let him be a handyman and do some rough work."

Lu Feng smiled and said, "Oh, you might think, that's the way it is, but the wages still have to be paid."

Miao Shan said: "What kind of salary do you give, it's not necessary at all, just take care of the food."

"What do you know? Give Hou Jing two renminbi a month, and now the yamen has posted notices, the minimum salary for hiring people is two renminbi a month, if you don't give it, what will the yamen do?"

"Oh, yes, yes, the boss is thoughtful."

Miao Shan cursed inwardly: Look at how stingy you are, your daily net profit is only tens of taels of silver, but you only pay me five taels a month and two taels for the six-eared macaque. I curse you to have a son without an asshole!

Haotian moved to Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty with all the immortals from heaven. The immortals each had their own business, selling dog skin plaster, opening a martial arts gym, opening a blacksmith shop, selling clothes, selling rouge gouache, doing coolies on the docks, etc.

After Haotian came to Chang'an, he quickly integrated in, and all the people under his banner found jobs one after another.

He Xiangu worked in a Xiufang. She was good at weaving before she became a fairy, and she was successful in cultivation, so she became a foreman in Xiufang, and the salary was not bad.

Today is an unusual day for He Xiangu. On the first day she came to Chang'an City, she heard about the name of Chongtian Restaurant.

It is said that the food there is not only unique in taste, but also can improve one's cultivation level after eating it. For those who have sprained their feet and slipped their waists, as long as they eat the dishes of Chongtian Restaurant, they will be cured immediately, which is more effective than panacea.

He Xiangu made a reservation a month ago, and today it is finally her turn.

Chongtian Restaurant is a very special restaurant with many rules, reservations are required for meals, and only [-] customers are accepted at noon and night, and each customer can only order one dish, and the price of the dishes is even a hundred times more expensive than ordinary restaurants.

Despite this, there are still countless dignitaries who want to reserve seats in Chongtian Restaurant, and even a special profession called scalpers, who line up to make reservations and then sell the reserved meal tickets.

As far as the meal tickets are concerned, the most expensive ones have been sold to tens of taels of gold.

All the way to the entrance of Chongtian Restaurant, the time is [-]:[-] noon, which is the business hour of this store.

If you haven't arrived after business hours, it's useless to have a meal ticket.

Before He Xiangu could enter, a scalper ran over: "Sister, are you here for dinner?"

"Nonsense, what am I doing here if I'm not here for dinner?"

"Elder sister, don't be angry, there is a good thing, the treasurer Liu of Qianzhuang bought meal tickets at a high price, he wanted to take the top girl from Zuimenglou to eat together, but I only have one meal ticket here, if you are willing to give up the meal ticket, The price is negotiable, how about five taels of silver?"

"No amount of money is sold!"

He Xiangu was annoyed by these scalpers, if it wasn't for them, she wouldn't have to wait so long.

Although five taels of silver moved her a little, she still decided to give up this chance to make money in order to taste the legendary dishes.

Walking into this store, seeing the waiter, He Xiangu's eyes lit up, and she thought that it was worthy of being called Chongtian Restaurant, but the temperament of the waiter in this store was extraordinary, and she even looked very similar to Master Guanyin. The decoration style is also extremely gorgeous, which makes people feel happy.

It is written on the mahogany beams and pillars: Delicious food attracts visitors from outside the cloud, and delicate fragrance attracts immortals in the cave.

Sure enough, it was like coming to a fairyland.

"Hello, please sit here."

Miaoshan led He Xiangu to her seat, and took out a menu: "Look at what you want to eat. Today's special dish in our restaurant is golden fried rice."

"fried rice?"

He Xiangu was shocked. With such a good dining environment and such a great reputation, the special dish turned out to be fried rice?
My god, have I been lied to?

He Xiangu looked disappointed, fried rice can be sold as a special dish, really convinced!

I thought to myself: "Forget it, I will learn a lot of wisdom from a pit, and I won't come back next time."

He said to Miao Shan, "Then let's have some fried rice."

While waiting, He Xiangu suddenly thought of something and looked at the prices on the menu.

"A bowl of fried rice costs ten taels of silver!"

Immediately, He Xiangu felt her heart twitch suddenly. She worked in Xiufang, worked hard for a month, didn't know how to drink, and only earned three taels of silver.

A bowl of fried rice costs ten taels of silver, what a steal!

What kind of fairy mansion is this? It's clearly a den of bandits, charging prices indiscriminately, defrauding consumers, I'm going to the Yamen to sue you!
