Xiuxian Food Stall, a Hot Spot as Soon as It Opens

Chapter 109 Lu Wu remained silent, just waving the pancake shovel
A gloomy atmosphere is spreading.

Lu Wu, who was being "stared at" by the blind old man, thought of the information he had heard before.

The people in the village are all mortals.

The breath of a mortal and a ghost blend together, and I always feel that it is a boss with a hidden plot.

Can I clear this village by defeating the boss?

Lu Wu's mind was very active and he didn't say anything for a while. Lou Xiaotian was busy eating.

Compared with Boss Lu’s pancakes, what he made before was just a pile of shit. He urgently needed such a delicacy to cleanse his taste buds.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

"What are you selling?"

The old man took the initiative to ask, breaking the strange atmosphere.

"Pancakes, would you like one, old man?"

“Very delicious.”

As a stall owner, you need to be warm and welcoming to all potential customers.

Lu Wu, who dispelled his imagination, performed a famous scene - smiling in front of a blind man.

The pair of gray eyes in the old man's eye sockets moved a few times, and the white film in them made people shudder.

Seeing the old man performing the "one, two, three, statue" trick with him, Lu Wu, who wanted to break the ice, pointed at Lou Xiaotian on the side.

"If you don't believe me, ask him."

As he said that, he kicked Lou Xiaotian to signal him to use more force.

"oh oh!"

Lou Xiaotian reacted, wiped his mouth, and looked unsatisfied.

He made the same mistake as Lu Wu, and the other party couldn't see his emotional performance.

After receiving a glare from Lu Wu, Lou Xiaotian chuckled and took up his duties as Tool Man No. 2.

Since Qin No. 1 is not here, he has to take on the responsibility.

"Grandpa, Boss Lu really didn't lie to you. This pancake is delicious."

"Boss Lu uses real ingredients. After frying and roasting this high-quality wheat flour paste, the wheat aroma is very strong."

“The taste is amazing.”

“The crust is chewy on the outside and crispy on the inside, with a crunchy sound when you bite into it.”

Lou Xiaotian became more and more excited as he spoke, walked to the old man, put his arm around his shoulders and began to introduce him.

"Especially the sweet and spicy sauce that Boss Lu prepared. I dare say that all other sauces pale in comparison. I am confused by its fragrance."

"The sauce just oozes out when you bite it, and I even ate the little bit of sauce on my fingers."

When he got excited, he even patted the old man's shoulder, causing him to stagger.

Just by listening to his tone, you can tell that Lou Xiaotian is really satisfied with the taste of the pancakes.

Lu Wu gave a thumbs up to Lou Xiaotian's social behavior.

I’ve given up on studying. I really have given up on studying.

"Old man, meeting is fate. So, I'll treat you to this pancake. If it's delicious, come back later."

"Boss Lu, what are you waiting for? Bring on the pancakes."

"Give me five, four of which are for me."

The local tycoon waved his hand and placed the spirit stones on the stall.

Lou Xiaotian ignored the old man's refusal.

Rich people give away money regardless of whether you want it or not.

Lu Wu remained silent and just kept waving the pancake spatula.

After practicing for ten minutes, Lu Wu handed in his hard-earned answer sheet, and Lou Xiaotian put a pancake in the old man's hands.

"Taste it."

"Be careful, it's hot."

Lou Xiaotian reminded him considerately.

Although the old man couldn't see, he could feel the hot pancake in his hand.

The aroma of wheat and eggs filled my nose, making my already hungry stomach squirm wildly.

The old man's expression was complicated by his body's straightforward reaction. He sighed, moved his lips a few times and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, eat."

When the pancake got closer, the old man could smell the aroma of sesame and green onion, as well as the unique smell of sweet and spicy sauce, which he had never experienced before.

His greedy stomach urged him to eat quickly.

In the fresh fragrance of wheat, the old man slowly opened his mouth and took a tentative bite.

Click!

A crisp sound was heard, and the young man was not bragging.

The two experiences of softness and crispness can be achieved in one pancake. What touched the old man the most was the sauce.

The thick and smooth sauce is spread on the pancake, and gradually the ingredients wrapped inside are stained with its flavor.

Sweetness comes first, spiciness comes later.

The sweetness is not cloying, and the spiciness is not too much.

The rich flavor completely whetted the old man's appetite, and he ate with big mouthfuls without any need to be urged.

Some pancake crumbs fell off.

The old man caught it and put it into his mouth, smacking his lips a few times.

This move stunned the two onlookers.

Master!
Looking at the old man's expression of enjoyment, Lu Wu gave Lou Xiaotian a look that said he did a good job.

The sun rises from the east, casting down a thousand-foot-long rosy glow.

Xiaohai Village, which looked dark and dilapidated in the night, was covered with a beautiful coat by the morning glow, dispelling the gloomy feeling.

More people are leaving their homes.

The villagers near the east entrance of the village were attracted by the fragrance but did not get closer.

Instead, he stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the stall quietly.

Every face conveyed curiosity and a kind of dead silence that Lu Wu could not understand.

There were a few children, holding the hands of their elders, hiding behind the adults, sticking their heads out, and looking outside with confused eyes.

The adult villagers had sorrow in their dim eyes.

Although the distance was only a dozen meters, it gave Lu Wu the illusion that he was in two different worlds.

That sense of alienation cannot be explained by the word "closed".

Such a strong contradiction turned into an invisible chain that enveloped the entire village.

Draw the ground as a prison.

Lu Wu remembered this word.

"uncle……"

Lou Xiaotian opened his mouth to ask something, but saw the old man raise his head.

Although he can't see, the old man is always so perceptive.

"Do not ask."

Two words shut Lou Xiaotian's mouth.

There was a complexity on the old man's face at this moment that Lu Wu couldn't understand.

Perhaps it was astonishment, or perhaps it was a sudden realization mixed with a hint of loss.

“This pancake…”

The old man's voice was very soft, and Lu Wu thought that the other party didn't like it, but then he saw the old man suddenly laugh.

"That's it, that's it."

That smile was bitter and heavy.

"Little girl, your pancake is indeed the best pancake I have ever eaten."

"Just don't come here anymore."

As if he understood Lu Wu's question, the old man stood up straight, looked towards the village, and his tone became calm.

“They won’t buy your cakes.”

After saying this, the old man walked towards the village with the remaining half of the pancake.

After seeing the old man coming back, the villagers withdrew their gazes and dispersed.

Only the old man was left sitting at the entrance of the village, motionless, as if he had turned into a statue without any sadness or joy, quietly guarding the entire village.

Can……

Is it protection or confinement?

As an outsider, Lu Wu couldn't see clearly.

"No, you're just leaving like that. Have so many people had breakfast yet? Can you come with some?"

Lou Xiaotian shouted loudly in an attempt to retain customers.

But the villagers did not look back.

Lou Xiaotian, who wanted to use the old man to launch Boss Lu's first stall, made a mistake.

"How could this be possible?"

Lou Xiaotian felt wronged for being taken advantage of.

The cold wind blew across his cheeks, bringing a slight sting. Lu Wu felt the temperature of the flames and rubbed his cheeks.

It’s really cold today.
