The tea shop is called Qushenglou, and there is neither the word "tea" nor the word "food" on the sign. Judging from the name alone, it is difficult to guess what the business does.
Standing at the door were two handsome-looking teenagers, both wearing clothing embroidered with the store's logo, each with a white sweat towel draped over their shoulders. Their eyes were darting around, looking for potential customers in the crowd.
At first glance, he was the waiter in the building.
Businesses rely on shouting. This is how businessmen in the human world do. Everything in Jiuyou City is imitating the human world. Everything is open for business. Naturally, the waiters who take customers are indispensable.
As expected, Shen Qiqi, Xie Beiming, and Wu Qingchen were still a few steps away from Qusheng Building. The waiter at the door of the restaurant had already sharp eyes with the help of his sharp eyes refined through years of use. noticed them.
When she was almost there, Shen Qiqi took a look inside the building, and the two handsome waiters immediately came forward to greet her attentively.
One of them said: "Are some of our guests tired from shopping and want to take a rest? Come to our Qusheng Building. Our Qusheng Building not only provides high-quality tea, but also provides meals. The chefs' skills are also first-rate. The chefs in those big restaurants are even better."
Another said: "The most important thing is that it is delicious and not expensive. You are a good person. These guests are not just bragging. Even if you go all over Jiuyou City, you will never find anyone better than us." The tea here is stronger, the food is more fragrant, the price is more affordable, and it’s a great place to stop for noodles!”
The two hostesses had bright tongues, and when they opened their mouths, they were filled with the breath of human fireworks.
But Shen Qiqi's focus is not here.
Her focus was on the heads of the two waiters, staring at the pointed ears that came out and then retracted above their heads with great curiosity.
It is said that in Jiuyou City, in addition to various large and small monsters, there are also Yin spirits who are unwilling to enter the path of reincarnation, humans who stray into Jiuyou City, and demon cultivators who fall into the path of evil. Different types are combined and born. The demon... is extremely tolerant, a real group of demons dancing wildly.
The two waiters in front of me are monsters.
Judging from each other's furry pointed ears, one of their parents must be a fox.
I just don’t know whether my father is a fox or my mother is a fox.
The two solicitors were very clever. Seeing that Shen Qiqi was staring at their ears, looking very interested, they openly showed their ears to Shen Qiqi and showed them. He bent his two fox ears, with the tips of the ears pointing inwards and downwards, and gave her a fluffy heart.
Shen Qiqi: "?"
She couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. The two waiters seizing the opportunity immediately stretched out their hands to make invitations and said with a smile: "Guests, please come in."
Shen Qiqi: "..."
She worked so hard to recruit her, and even showed her love. If she turned around and left at this time, it would be very unethical.
Fortunately, this was the place Wu Qingchen recommended to eat at the beginning, so the three of them were warmly welcomed by the two waiters and carried them inside.
Then the next moment, Shen Qiqi regretted so much that her intestines turned blue.
She looked at the plates of bloody raw meat on the dinner table, the lively twitching eyeballs, and the human hands skewered on bamboo skewers and roasting on the small stove. She felt her stomach churn, and she almost couldn't help but vomit on the spot. come out.
Damn the smell of tea and rice!
This is not a good place to eat and rest. It is clearly a slaughterhouse!
Fortunately, Wu Qingchen was extremely uncomfortable with all this. After entering, he didn't look sideways and ignored the chaos around him. He took Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming to the second floor with familiarity. After entering the private room, he closed the door and left. All that smoky atmosphere is locked outside.
Different from the smoky atmosphere outside, the interior of the private room is very elegant and neat. The tables, chairs and benches are clean, and not a trace of blood is visible. Not only is the table covered with a beautiful tablecloth, but there is also a fat porcelain vase in the middle.
Inside the porcelain vase were inserted a few flowers of unknown names, with alternating blue and pure white petals, with goose-yellow flower cores guarding the middle. The night wind came in through the open window lattice, and the filament-like stamens twisted in the wind. When I moved my waist, there was a pleasant fragrance in the air.
Shen Qiqi smelled the faint fragrance in her nose, and her turbulent stomach felt a little better.
Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, there was a knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful woman wearing a purple skirt opened the door and came in. Two furry fox ears stood on top of her head. As soon as she entered, she gave the guests a fluffy heart sign.
So Shen Qiqi immediately guessed that this must be the two fox girls who were soliciting customers from earlier.
The son is clever, and the mother who gave birth to him is no less impressive. The fox girl blinked her slender eyes, glanced at the three guests in the room, and she had a plan in her heart. She walked towards Wu Qingchen with a smile, first Handed a cookbook, and then another cookbook.
It was not surprising that there were two cookbooks in the same store, but Shen Qiqi had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that although the two cookbooks were the same size and color, they had different patterns on the covers.
The cover of one book depicts a human being, while the cover of another book depicts a beast with fangs and sharp teeth.
Although the residents in Jiuyou City are mainly monsters, they are not without humans.
Humans and monsters have different tastes, and it is certain that they cannot eat together, so it is reasonable to prepare two cookbooks, but...she and Xie Beiming are evil spirits now, how are they going to eat this meal?
You can't just order a plate of crunchy eyeballs or a bunch of extra-large chicken feet like those evil demons outside, right?
Thinking of what she just saw on the first floor, Shen Qiqi's stomach, which had just felt better, started to churn again.
If she had known earlier, she would not have come here. Just now she only thought about finding out the news about Jiu Ying from the wife of the city lord, but she forgot about the dietary differences between different races.
Shen Qiqi was afraid that something would happen, so Shen Qiqi suppressed the surge. She was quickly thinking about how to eat this meal, and two cookbooks were spread out in front of her.
"This is the first time we meet, and I don't know what kind of taste the girl likes, so I'd better order this dish. Girl, please." Wu Qingchen said with a smile, looking at Shen Qiqi with his bright eyes that seemed to be filled with stars. .
There was expectation in his eyes.
……expect?
Shen Qiqi frowned, still wondering why the city lord's wife was looking at her expectantly, but she picked up a recipe book without hesitation and ordered a few dishes without ceremony.
They are all dishes such as cold live beads, charcoal grilled beauty claws and so on. You don’t need to look at the dishes, just hearing the names of the dishes looks very devilish.
During the entire process, I didn’t glance at the recipe book with a picture of a person on the cover.
After ordering the food, she closed the menu and handed it back to the fox lady. Then she raised her eyes and looked at Wu Qingchen.
Not surprisingly, after the anticipation, the emotion in the eyes of the city lord's wife turned into relief.
Shen Qiqi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The secret path was so dangerous that she almost missed it.
She is not really evil. Under normal circumstances, if she is asked to order food, she will definitely pick up the recipe book that suits human tastes subconsciously.
In fact, it was indeed the case. If the emotion in Wu Qingchen's eyes wasn't so obvious, Shen Qiqi might have subconsciously picked up the human recipe.
But if she does that, then her identity as a demon is worthy of serious doubt.
Fortunately, the wife of the city lord is not a scheming person. Her emotions are written on her face and can be seen through at a glance.
Shen Qiqi thought to herself.
As expected, after looking at the dishes Shen Qiqi ordered, Wu Qingchen sighed softly, shook his head and said, "Oh, it seems I'm overthinking."
