Chapter 5 Chocolate Mousse

The previous owner opened the bar, and left the counters, tables and chairs behind when he left. Ling Zhaoxia didn't intend to replace them, and just picked up the ready-made ones to use.

After a few days of renovation, the small shop looks good.

After the decorator left, Ling Zhaoxia was pasting the window grilles alone in the store. Wearing an apron and a mask, he carefully pasted the lovely floral paper on the window. .

Ling Zhaoxia handed him a stack of flower paper, pointed to the corner: "Paste it over there."

"Open a bar? Ouch, this flower paper is good, the wine bubbles circle after circle."

"Those three balls are ice cream..."

"The bar still sells ice cream?"

"...a dessert shop."

"Is the chef here?"

"No."

"Where's the waiter?"

"No."

Ling Zhaoxia was not in a hurry at all, he didn't expect to make money from opening a store in a place that was specially bankrupt, Ling Zhaoxia was tired, so he sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of wine, with a cigarette in his mouth, admiring the window grilles.

Su Yi'an felt that he should have a good talk with him. According to Ling Zhaoxia's temper, whether he could make money was still a problem. He sat down opposite Ling Zhaoxia solemnly, and suddenly yelled: "Ah----!!!"

Ling Zhaoxia took a sip of wine and poured it into his nose.

Su Yi'an jumped up, clutching her buttocks and yelling.

Even if he brought bamboo pieces, he couldn't stop his bad luck, Su Yi'an's ass directly pushed out the spring of the sofa.

"I'm still thinking, let me check the sofa someday." Ling Zhaoxia impassively wiped the lotion on the hapless ass with a cotton swab.

Su Yi'an lay down on the table with a flushed face, and said in a muffled voice, "The sofa is not allowed! It's too dangerous, hey...you must change it!"

"Okay okay."

"Is it okay if you don't close the door?"

"No one came anyway."

"lighter."

"Oh."

At the same time, Su Yian heard a faint hahaha, something was laughing, Su Yian looked around, but the laughter disappeared.

Since the bamboo piece was hung around his neck, he no longer saw the shadow of the wandering soul, and his life returned to normal, but there was always a faint laughter in his ears. He thought he had an auditory hallucination and went to the hospital Checked ears.

"Are you laughing?" Su Yi'an asked.

"I didn't laugh."

"Do you want to laugh?"

"think."

"Then have a laugh."

"What?"

"I want to hear it."

"Your head was caught by the door?"

"It's been pinched."

Su Yi'an lifted his pants, wondering, "It's chilly."

"Yeah." Ling Zhaoxia silently turned his face away.

"..." Su Yi'an touched his buttocks, and found several big holes.

Hahaha laughter rang out again, Su Yi'an understood it this time, he picked up the bamboo piece and put it to his ear.

Bamboo Chip: "Bah!"

Su Yi'an: "!!!"

"Don't be afraid." Ling Zhaoxia put his big hand on Su Yi'an's shoulder, knowing that he couldn't do without an explanation, so he simply said, "There is a... soul in the bamboo piece."

"Gluttony?" Su Yi'an guessed it all at once, "That laughter is clearly from Chef Tao!"

"To be precise, it's a small part of him. This piece of bamboo is his... home."

"Seal?" Su Yi'an guessed right again.

Ling Zhaoxia: "Yes."

"But this piece of bamboo is broken, what about the rest?"

"In my place."

"There should be more than one piece of bamboo, right?"

"..." Ling Zhaoxia looked at the clever hapless guy with admiration.

Su Yi'an pointed to the small hole in the rope and said: "This hole is old, it has been there for a long time. The bamboo piece should be a part of the bamboo stick."

"Then what do you think it is?" Ling Zhaoxia asked.

Su Yi'an thought about it seriously for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Ah! Could it be that this thing is..."

"What is it?" Ling Zhaoxia looked at him nervously.

Su Yi'an murmured: "Impossible... Impossible..."

"Say it!" Ling Zhaoxia was anxious, and pulled his shoulders, "What is it?! How much do you know?!"

Su Yi'an was sweating profusely, raised her head to look at him, squeezed out two words between her teeth with a solemn expression: "Bamboo mat!"

Ling Zhaoxia: "..."

Bamboo Chip: "Pfft!"

In history, he is the first one who can compare the seal of mountains and seas to a mat!

Ling Zhaoxia heaved a sigh of relief, he was almost certain that this unlucky guy actually knew nothing.

Ling Zhaoxia ignored him, and stood by the window watching the night scene with a cigarette in his mouth.

Su Yi'an's voice sounded behind him: "When do you plan to open?"

"Let's talk about hiring a chef."

"Here's a ready-made one!"

"Who?"

Su Yian raised her hand.

Ling Zhaoxia: "Hehe!"

"Give me some confidence, okay, I can make instant noodles... Well, hero, it's not me, it's..." Su Yi'an pointed at the small bamboo piece, "He."

When Wei Jiexiu learned that Xiao Ling's dessert shop had opened, he rushed over to join him. The shop was empty, and Boss Ling personally served the reception.

"What do you want?" Ling Zhaoxia clicked on the menu on his mobile phone and handed it to the customer.

Wei Jiexiu sweated a lot, please, this menu is from another restaurant, is it really okay to just take it over and use it? !

"The menu hasn't been printed yet, and it will be ready in a few days." Su Yi'an handed him a cup of lemon tea, "Order whatever you want, and I'll give you a [-]% discount."

"Can you order anything?"

"Of course!"

Wei Jiexiu didn't want to embarrass the small dessert shop, so he ordered the simplest three-color ice cream.

When the ice cream was served, Wei Jiexiu was dumbfounded.

The ice cream was quite satisfactory, just like other shops, his gaze went all the way up, and landed on Venus with a broken arm at the top.

That's right, it's Venus...

Chocolate Venus...

The chef's craftsmanship is excellent. Not only can he carve chocolate into Venus, but he can also carve David, Chopper... Wei Jiexiu stared blankly at the row of exquisite artworks in front of him, and there was even a person standing beside him. Did not notice.

"What else do you want? Order a few more, and you can just collect a set!"

Wei Jiexiu raised his head, his eyes lit up: "Da Tao?!"

"Well."

"I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs!"

"Okay."

"Carve it like Chopper!"

"no problem!"

Su Yi'an laughed and scolded: "You guys are enough!"

After installing the landline, Su Yian wrote down the number and edited a WeChat to send it out. The opening of the store was relatively low-key, and only publicized it on the Internet and WeChat circles. A few minutes after the number was announced, the phone rang.

Ling Zhaoxia, who was drinking, was taken aback, and turned to look at the phone.

Chef Tao also raised his head and glanced at the phone thoughtfully.

Su Yi'an was ignorant and excitedly picked up the phone.

A little girl's timid voice came from the phone: "Hello?"

"Hello, what do you need to eat?"

"Can you deliver food?"

"sure!"

"Hmm... Let me see... What's there for dessert?" The little girl seemed to be looking at the menu, Su Yi'an also turned on her phone, looked at the menu sent by WeChat, and recommended a chocolate to the little girl mousse.

The little girl lives in a nearby village in the city. The small building has five floors, the walls are peeling off, and it is dilapidated.

Su Yi'an parked the electric car downstairs, and the newsstand aunt next to him called to stop him: "Young man! Is this your first time here?"

"Yes."

"The law and order here is quite chaotic, you don't worry about being stolen if you put your car at the door?" The newsstand aunt motioned him to put the car next to the newsstand, and there was a row of bicycles locked on the railing next to the newsstand, Su Yi'an understood and asked her, "How much?"

Newsstand Mama holds up two fingers.

Su Yi'an broke into a sweat: "So expensive?"

The newsstand aunt was calm and relaxed, and waved her hand with the expression that you love to stop: "Forget it, if you lose the car, it will cost more than two yuan."

Su Yi'an locked the car at the newsstand and gave her two dollars.

The aunt at the newsstand took out a tin moon cake box, and there were various amulets in a mess. She picked up an amulet with the words of consecration printed on it and said, "Little young man, come and buy some amulets."

Su Yi'an was surprised: "Are you still selling talismans?"

"Of course, there was a fire in this place, and it's evil! Look at the house on the fifth floor, the black one is the one that was burned!" My aunt recommended mysteriously, "This talisman is the best-selling, 20 yuan One piece of money, take it with you to keep you safe!"

Su Yian raised his eyebrows, took out a stack of golden Buddha card cards from his pocket, and walked into the small building calmly under the dazed eyes of the aunt.

The small building was very dark, and the sensor lights were broken. Fortunately, it was daytime, and Su Yian ran upstairs in three steps at a time. The sound of going upstairs echoed in the corridor. Suddenly, Su Yian felt something Dao was staring at him, Su Yi'an turned his head, and saw an old woman poking her head. The old woman opened the door slightly, thinking that she was hiding well. When Su Yi'an looked over, the old woman closed the door with a bang. .

Su Yi'an didn't care either. He turned around the stairs and found a thick iron gate on the stairs leading to the fifth floor.

Su Yi'an searched around but couldn't find the doorbell, so he had to knock on the door loudly. The big chain wrapped around the door was rattled by him, and Su Yi'an felt a strange feeling in his heart. At that time, he hadn't figured out where this feeling came from.

After knocking for a while, there were footsteps on the stairs behind the door, and they stopped behind the iron gate. The little girl said, "Come on! Come on!"

The iron gate opened a crack, and the little girl asked, "Do you have some change?"

"Yes, how big is yours?" Su Yi'an fumbled for the wallet, thinking to himself, luckily he brought some change when he went out, of course 100 yuan can be found.

Unexpectedly, the child said nothing, and it was 1 yuan when he opened his mouth.

"Ha, do you have that many?"

"Have!"

"It's too big to open. Do you have ten dollars?"

"Oh, yes."

Holding a piece of ten yuan in his little hand, Su Yi'an stretched his head to look into the crack of the door, but the angle was wrong, he could only see the darkness in the crack of the door.

Su Yi'an handed the small gift box into her hand, looked through the wallet, and asked her: "Do you have fifty cents? Chocolate mousse is six and five yuan, and you give me another fifty cents, so I can give you four dollars."

"No."

"Oh, forget it." Su Yi'an counted four yuan and handed it to her. The little girl took the money, closed the door with a bang, and ran upstairs with a bang.

The newsstand aunt looked at Ling Zhaoxia, who was leaning against the wall and smoking, and asked him tentatively, "Little handsome guy, do you want to buy an amulet?"

Ling Zhaoxia raised his eyelids and exhaled a puff of smoke.

The newsstand aunt had no choice but to change the subject: "The handsome guy is waiting for someone?"

Ling Zhaoxia: "Yes."

"Would you like a dry steamer? It's fresh!" The newsstand aunt brought out a cage of dry steamers and raised her head, "Hey? Why did you leave?"

Ling Zhaoxia put his hands in his pockets, and coolly turned around the corner with a cigarette in his mouth. It just so happened that Su Yi'an came out of the small building.

The newsstand aunt handed over the dry steamer: "Brother, what do you want? Fresh ones, two yuan each!"

Su Yi'an unlocked it, rolled out the car and said proudly, "My family owns a dessert shop!"

"What happened to the dessert shop?"

"There is dry steaming!"

"No way, dessert shops still do this now?"

"There are also sweet and sour pork ribs, rice, noodles, everything!" Su Yi'an gave the aunt a store's WeChat ID, telling her to call anytime to order.

Auntie went in and took a look, okay, isn't this the recipe of the tea restaurant next door? !

She tried to call, but it was Wei Jiexiu who answered.

Wei Jiexiu held the phone between his shoulders and kept memorizing the menu. After the store opened, several customers came one after another, but the big boss Ling ran away, and the only waiter (?) Su Yian went to deliver the food.

Chef Tao handed out a bunch of dinner plates: "The vermicelli at table [-], the salad at table [-], the cantaloupe ice cream with peppers at table [-], the cantaloupe ice cream with mustard at table [-], don't send them by mistake."

"Waiter! Check out!"

"Waiter! Add water!"

"I want rice with tomato and egg!"

Phone: "Beep beep beep..."

Wei Jiexiu: "..."

I'm just here for dessert! ! ! qaq

The business of the small shop is not bad, and some dishes have been updated in the menu. Chef Tao's craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation, and the number of customers is gradually increasing.

That evening, when Su Yi'an came back from get off work, the first call he answered was from that little girl again.

"Chocolate mousse," said the little girl, "the chocolate on top should be YY!"

Su Yi'an went out with the chocolate mousse. Not long after he left, Ling Zhaoxia left a bunch of guests waiting to be fed, and followed him out.

Chef Tao shook his head, he was worried about him, so he just went with him, why bother to follow him sneakily?

There were no waiters in the store, and the eyes of the customers fell on Wei Jiexiu.

Someone recognized him and shouted: "Hey, waiter, there is no tea, add water!"

"???" Wei Jiexiu raised his head with a mouthful of spaghetti in his mouth.

"Brother, do you have chili? Have a dish!"

"Why isn't my ice cream served yet?"

"Waiter! Check out!"

Phone: "Beep beep beep..."

Wei Jiexiu: "..."

I'm just here for dinner! ! ! qaq

Su Yi'an drove the car very fast, and when he got downstairs, he wiped his face and handed two yuan to the newsstand aunt.

The aunt at the newsstand brought out a box of raincoats and umbrellas, and said: "A raincoat costs 50 yuan, and an umbrella costs 30 yuan."

"No need." Su Yi'an pulled the wet clothes, and smiled wryly, "It's already soaked, like a washing machine has been turned around."

The aunt brought out a box of washing powder: "20 yuan a pack, just right for washing clothes."

Su Yi'an: "...Is there a washboard?"

"Yes." The aunt took out the washboard, "Hey, where is he?"

"Go in." Ling Zhaoxia leaned against the wall and flicked cigarette ash, his bangs were wetly stuck to his forehead, he picked up his bangs, and looked at the rainy night sky.

"Aren't you going in?"

"Do not."

"It's raining outside."

"Ah."

"Umbrellas, or?" the aunt said, "50 yuan a piece."

"Didn't it just cost 30 yuan?"

"30 yuan is also fine, together with washing powder and washboard, it will be 100 yuan for you."

Ling Zhaoxia: "..."

The small building was pitch black, the only sound was the monotonous sound of rain, the light of the phone was a bit unstable for some reason, Su Yian held the phone and rushed upwards, in the darkness around him, it seemed that something would emerge at any time, Su Yi'an's palms couldn't help sweating a little. He lightly pinched the bamboo piece and called softly, "Da Tao? Da Tao, are you there?"

The bamboo piece didn't respond, so Su Yi'an took a picture of it with his mobile phone, hoping that it would emit a little light.

At this moment, there was a knock on the stairs, Su Yi'an took a picture of the phone, and at the corner of the fourth floor, the light of the phone showed an old woman.

The old woman stood there motionless in gray clothes and pants, staring at him with wide eyes.Su Yi'an was quite frightened. Seeing the old woman take a step, she thought she was going to go downstairs, so she stepped aside to give way.

Unexpectedly, the old woman waved her crutches, banged on the wall, and yelled inarticulately: "Go! Go!"

"Mom, what are you doing?" The young man ran to support the old woman, who was still waving her cane, as if she wanted to hit Su Yi'an.

The man quickly grabbed his crutches, apologized repeatedly to Su Yi'an, and coaxed the old woman to go home.

The old woman yelled, "Don't go up! Don't go up!"

"Okay, let's go home."

The old woman struggled, and when her son helped her into the door, she turned her head and shouted, "Don't go up! Don't go up!"

Su Yi'an ran a few steps quickly, turned around the fourth floor, and came to the stairs leading to the fifth floor.

A beam of flashlight shone on Su Yi'an's face.

Su Yi'an covered his face with his hands in discomfort, and a young man's voice sounded: "What are you doing?"

"Meal delivery."

"Delivery?"

"Well, I ordered a dessert on the fifth floor."

The light of the flashlight moved to the doorknob, and the young man said, "Look for yourself, is there anyone living on the fifth floor?"

The thumb-thick chain was wrapped around and around, and a big lock was fastened. Su Yi'an looked at it for a moment, and his brain exploded.

He finally understood what was causing the strange feeling when he saw the gate for the first time.

"The fifth floor has been empty for a long time, and it has been locked. Have you been tricked?"

The old woman came out again, waving her cane to beat Su Yi'an.

The young man had no choice but to help his mother into the house. When the door was closed, Su Yi'an called to him: "Wait!"

"what happened?"

"What happened to this building...?"

"This building is fine." The young man pointed at the top of his head, "There is something wrong on the fifth floor. One year, a fire broke out on the fifth floor and a mother and daughter were burned to death. The ghosts have been haunting these years. It is said that they are looking for substitutes everywhere. You see, the whole building The building is empty, there are only three households left, and we will move in a few days, so don't come here again, if something happens, no one can help you."

bang-

The door is closed.

A gust of wind blew through the hall, and the talisman paper on the wall rattled.

Su Yi'an stood blankly in front of the iron gate, and the small gift box in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.

Behind the iron gate, there was the sound of plastic bags moving, eh——————

Getting closer, getting closer...

唦 - 唦 - 唦 -

唦 - 唦 - 唦 -

It stopped behind the gate.

Su Yi'an felt a strange chill coming over the gate, as if a pair of cold little hands were slowly reaching towards the lock.

Su Yi'an almost scrambled and rushed out of the small building, turned around, and saw Ling Zhaoxia smoking at the door.

It was like being caught cheating in an exam, and Ling Zhaoxia dropped his cigarettes, but he still remained calm and cleared his throat: "Coincidental."

Su Yi'an clutched her chest, walked up to him in shock, and put her hands on his shoulders: "Hero, I..."

"Did you hit a ghost?"

"It should be..." Su Yi'an picked up the bamboo piece, "Hero, wouldn't you be unable to see things if you wear it?"

"Well, don't think too much, go back and take a hot bath, and go to bed early." Ling Zhaoxia opened an umbrella and covered their heads.

The aunt at the newsstand opened an identical umbrella, smiled and said, "Buy another one, and I'll give you a 85% discount, [-] yuan!"

Su Yi'an walked towards the newsstand.

Ling Zhaoxia called out to him: "I bought it, you don't have to buy it again."

"Get the car." Su Yian pushed out the car, wiped the back seat with his sleeve, "Come on."

Ling Zhaoxia: "..."

Su Yi'an hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly, "Then...then I sit in the back?"

Ling Zhaoxia: "Forget it."

Ling Zhaoxia sat in the back seat and held up an umbrella to protect Su Yian from the rain. It was raining and the roads were slippery, so Su Yian didn't dare to ride too fast. The heavy rain came and went, and the neon lights were colorful.

When the red light came on, Su Yian stopped the car.

A cigarette was handed over, Su Yi'an lowered his head, and took the cigarette from Ling Zhaoxia's hand.

Ling Zhaoxia also picked up a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, thinking about something while looking at the pattering rain curtain.

Su Yi'an suddenly called out: "Hero."

"what?"

"Excuse me..." Su Yi'an leaned his head over with a cigarette in his mouth.

Ling Zhaoxia stepped forward, and lit cigarette to cigarette.

"It's so romantic." Su Yi'an looked at the other party through the hazy smoke and said with a smile, "I thought you would use a lighter."

Ling Zhaoxia: "..."

Ling Zhaoxia really forgot the lighter!

The spaghetti that had only eaten a few mouthfuls had already cooled down, and Wei Jiexiu's stomach was growling, but he was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water.

Chef Tao put out a bunch of plates, and said: "No noodles for beef noodles at table No. 16, no beef for beef noodles at table No. [-], no soup for thinner beef noodles at table No. [-], don't get confused."

"Brother, here is a plate of vinegared vegetables!"

"Why isn't my ice cream served yet?"

"Waiter! Check out!"

"Waiter! Refill the tea!"

Phone: "Beep beep beep..."

Wei Jiexiu: "..."

Come back soon! ! ! qaq
