Ji Yi flipped through the memo on the phone, it recorded the vegetables that Liu Dalei asked him to buy today.
The vegetable market in Qingxi Town in the morning was picked and sold by many local farmers, occupying the space on both sides of the originally narrow road.The only small fruit shop in the town just opened early in the morning.
"Uncle, how much is this lotus root per catty?"
Ji Yi squatted down, and the picking action looked like a novice in the kitchen.
The uncle glanced at him, and quoted a price: "Seven yuan a catty, all freshly dug out today." He picked up a piece and cut it up, and there was still mud in the lotus root hole, and gave it to Ji Yi. The festival is very tender."
No matter how stupid Ji Yi was, he could see that the lotus root was not good, so he took another two. "Cut the head and tail off for me."
The boss curled his lips, but he still picked up the knife and cut off the inedible part of the lotus root joint, and then weighed it: "It's a catty and a half, I'll charge you ten yuan."
Ji Yi took the lotus root, weighed it casually, felt that the weight should not be much different, and paid the money readily.
The owner of the nearby fruit shop just put out some fruits, when Ji Yi saw a box of peaches in it out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but think of the one she ate yesterday, and with a thought, she walked over with the lotus root she just bought.
Ask about the price of more than ten yuan a catty.But Ji Yi was aroused by gluttons yesterday, so she still couldn't help but pick out three and buy a catty.
As soon as she returned home with the vegetables and peaches she bought, Ji Yi couldn't wait to wash one and taste it.
It's just that the peach looks quite red on the outside, but the taste in his mouth is not as good as Ji Yi's expectation.It can't be said that the peaches are unpalatable, at most Ji Yi raised his expectations too much, and now he feels a gap.
Ji Yi stared at the direction of Daishan, thinking carefully.
The pork that Shrike gave was quite delicious, at first Ji Yi thought it was because Liu Dalei was good at cooking.But with peaches as a comparison, he thought it might not be because the pork itself was of good quality.After all, Liu Dalei is very picky about ingredients, but he has never been picky about the pork that Shrike gave.
Such a big mountain, how many delicious things must there be in it?
Ji Yi stared blankly and became greedy until he finished eating the tasteless peaches, then got up and walked to the door, looked into the mountain, and casually threw the peach pits under the old tree next to him.
An "ouch" was heard from afar.
Ji Yi didn't look at the old tree either, "Don't touch the porcelain, the peach pits will rot soon, it's about the same as your fallen leaves, use them all as fertilizer."
Ever since the old tree appeared on Wei Hu and had a fight with Ji Yi last time, maybe because he was afraid of Lin Zhao or Ji Yi who said he would set fire to the mountain, the old tree didn't move anymore, and lived with Ji Yi in peace , with little presence.
Sure enough, when Ji Yi said this, although Old Shu groaned twice, he didn't refute.
Looking at the mountain, Ji Yi could vaguely see a few birds jumping and playing in the trees in the distance, it was as quiet and peaceful as another world created by itself.
"What kind of eyes do you have?" A sudden cold voice sounded, startling Ji Yi.
He followed the sound and found a black cat standing on a treetop not far away and staring at him at some point.
What look?
Ji Yi thought for a while, "Just ordinary eyes...?" What kind of eyes could he have.
The black cat said dissatisfied: "It's clearly greedy and lusty eyes, I've seen it a lot."
Lin Zhao's tone was "You can't deny it", and the gaze that followed Ji Yi was full of death stares.
Ji Yi thought of Lin Zhao's words that he had killed many humans who were dazzled by greed, and couldn't help feeling a little confused for a moment.
He quickly waved his hands to justify himself: "What, what, I'm just a glutton!"
"glutton?"
"That's right," Ji Yi said, "I was just wondering if there are many delicious things hidden in this mountain."
Lin Zhao was dubious and did not answer Ji Yi's curiosity.He turned into a cat, but his prototype was not a cat.Therefore, there is also the coldness and murderous intent of a big cat in his eyes. It is hard not to feel a chill down his spine when he is scrutinized by such eyes.
Ji Yi simply said: I was just thinking, if there are fruits, vegetables, pork, beef, and mutton in the mountains, I can save some money on buying vegetables, and I will help you find someone, so you are not willing to give them even this. "
Lin Zhao just jumped down from the treetop, "What kind of exchange do you want to make with them, that's up to you."
"Is that okay?" Ji Yi asked.
Lin Zhao was noncommittal, but Ji Yi was already a little familiar with his temperament, and in this situation, he acquiesced.
It was Lin Zhao's awkward appearance that made Ji Yi couldn't help scolding him in his heart, stinky cat.
-
Ji Yi went to pick him up at the appointed time with Shuai Zhiming, and after a while, he saw Shuai Zhiming coming down the mountain.
It's just that Shuai Zhiming looks a little downcast compared to the high-spirited when he went out in the morning.
As soon as he saw Ji Yi, he said, "Boss, the monkey in Beishan is different from the one I met yesterday."
Unexpectedly, I still met the Beishan Monkey. Ji Yi looked at Shuai Zhiming's obviously ravaged appearance, and felt a little guilty and pitiful: "Maybe it's not a group of monkeys."
Shuai Zhiming followed Ji Yi back to the B&B. He mainly came here for the lunch at the B&B, or else he didn't go down the mountain and directly ate at the restaurant above Beishan.
Fortunately, the food at the homestay was as delicious as ever, which greatly comforted Shuai Zhiming's mood.
And this time he didn't forget to take pictures, and he planned to post them together with the dinner.
In the afternoon Ji Yi went to clean the second floor.
The decoration on the second floor was finished last night, and now it will be open for business after half a month.Even Ji Yi felt that the current possible passenger flow of the homestay would not allow him to use the second floor.
When he came down from the second floor, Liu Dalei was peeling potatoes in the kitchen, muttering as he peeled them.
Ji Yi walked over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Holding the potatoes, Liu Dalei said disgustedly: "When I was still alive, apprentices did all these tasks in the kitchen, so why should I just do it directly?"
"That's all we have here, and besides, I don't have a place to find an apprentice for you." Ji Yi didn't care too much about comforting him, "It's okay to feel wronged."
In other words, Liu Dalei knew that he was not as beautiful as he was when he was alive, so he only asked Ji Yi, "Then let me watch yesterday's video today before putting away my phone."
Ji Yi stipulates that Liu Dalei can only watch on his mobile phone for an hour every day, and sometimes a documentary or video is just watching at the end, and Liu Dalei feels very uncomfortable.
Ji Yimian wondered: "Okay, I'll go and see if the phone is fully charged."
He had put his phone in the room to charge it, and now he remembered to get it, only to find that there were a lot of message reminders on the phone, and when he poked it in, it turned out that it was all information on various platforms or reservations or inquiries.
Ji Yi was surprised and delighted, clicked to open it, and now there are three vacant rooms in the B&B, and there are reservations for the next few days.
This sudden traffic made Ji Yi puzzled but couldn't help being happy.
It's just that after he opened the online inquiry information, he couldn't help popping up a few question marks.
"Boss, have the monkeys in your homestay ever gone to school?"
"Boss, can booking a room guarantee that I can see monkeys when I come over?"
"Boss, is the homestay mentioned by the monkey-caught blogger on Weibo yours?"
Ji Yi read a few messages, followed the keywords they revealed to search on Weibo, and finally understood what happened.Although most people just joined in the fun, Shuai Zhiming’s Weibo in front of him was reposted by several marketing accounts, and it was indeed quite popular. Some people who read that Weibo and planned to travel to Beishan recently People paid attention to Daishan Homestay.
Although most people still prefer to live closer to Beishan, and are not so at ease with the newly opened homestay, Ji Yi did attract a little traffic from Beishan.
He held his mobile phone contentedly, and didn't forget to rub the hotspot to add a sentence in the detailed introduction of the homestay, "There is no guarantee that you will be able to contact the polite monkey after staying in this homestay."
Beishan monkeys are all bandits. Judging from the level of politeness described by Shuai Zhiming yesterday, the monkeys on the waiting mountain side should be mature. Can the contrast between the two be strong?
Although I know that if the popularity on the Internet is not deliberately maintained by marketing, most of it will come and go quickly, and Shuai Zhiming's Weibo is also unexpectedly popular, so the popularity will pass soon.
But at least this traffic has brought real customers, Ji Yi is already very satisfied, it's all a windfall.
He confirmed the reservation information behind several vacant rooms, and he was already looking forward to the arrival of the next guests.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ji Yi lit a plate of mosquito coils and sat in the main hall reading a book.
Old man Li and old man Sun drifted in from the main entrance, "Boss Ji."
Ji Yi set a working time for them, from nine to five, and now they come to work on time.
Ji Yi looked up: "Here we come."
Since they came, Ji Yi went to close the front door and prepared to wash up and go to sleep.
Liu Dalei was watching his phone obsessively. Ji Yi glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and saw that the show had already started playing the ending song, so he brought the phone over, "It's time."
Although Liu Dalei didn't see enough, it was indeed the appointed time, so he didn't say anything, got up and went to the kitchen by himself.
Ji Yi took the phone back to her room, and replied to a few netizens who read Weibo and asked questions.After all, there are only a small number of people who book directly, and most of them come to join in the fun.
Ji Yi swiped his phone for a while, remembered that he poked into the Weibo of a well-known local handsome guy, and found that Shuai Zhiming had posted another Weibo, which contained a collection of photos from today's morning, noon and dinner, and this time he called and praised Daishan The food at the homestay is good.
However, the traffic of this Weibo returned to normal, with only dozens of retweets and more than a hundred comments. After all, it is rare for Weibos like the previous two to be hotly reposted by netizens.But some people said that they wanted to try it when they were hungry.
Ji Yi looked at her phone again and found that it was already ten o'clock, so she turned off the lights and went to sleep.
If you want to say what is the biggest improvement after not being a social animal, it is that Ji Yi got rid of the bad habit of staying up late.Now he basically goes to bed at [-] o'clock and gets up around [-] o'clock in the morning. He sleeps very well, and there is no abnormality at night, but he sleeps until dawn.
It's just that Ji Yi felt that she fell asleep not long before being woken up by the movement outside.
Confused, Ji Yi pricked up his ears to listen, only to hear Liu Dalei yelling and cursing, what kind of bastard, bastard, etc.The voices of old man Li and old man Sun were also mixed in the middle, although they were persuading, there were also scolding.Looking at it together, it seems to be persuading Liu Dalei. If you scold him, you don't know who you are scolding.
Could it be that a few ghosts were bored playing cards at night and started arguing?
He knew that when Chen Weiguo came to work at night, he would organize card games during the break time, and even tried to play for money, but Ji Yi stopped him by saying that he was not allowed to organize gambling here.They occasionally play something that doesn't count for money.
Hearing the loud noise outside, Ji Yi couldn't sleep, so she had to sit up, put on her slippers and go outside.
The noise outside made Ji Yi unable to sleep because Ji Yi could hear the voices of these ghosts. When Ji Yi opened the door and saw that there was no movement in Shuai Zhiming's room, she knew it hadn't affected him.So Ji Yi didn't speak loudly, lest her own voice wake up the guests.
Ji Yi saw a few ghosts at the main entrance, Liu Dalei, a tall and burly ghost, was holding down two skinny ghosts, and old man Li and old man Sun were also pulling these two ghosts to stop them from escaping.
Ji Yi walked over and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing, who are these two?"
Liu Dalei said indignantly: "These two brats stole from Chef Ben, do you think they are looking for death or not?"
"Thief?" Ji Yi was a little puzzled, looking down at the two skinny ghosts, he could vaguely tell from the blue-gray faces of the two ghosts that they should not be very old when they died, but they had a wretched aura.
Old man Sun said: "I recognize these two ghosts. In the past, I liked to do some shady things. I don't want to talk about them secretly. They are still two gamblers, but now they have the courage to come here to steal. If it weren't for me and Lao Li, I would be here today." I'm afraid I've already managed to run away."
The two little ghosts begged for mercy: "Boss Ji, Boss Ji, we are also obsessed with ghosts, so we will never dare again next time, please let us go."
"Do you know who I am?" Ji Yi was puzzled at first, and then thinking about old man Sun saying that they are gamblers, he changed his mind, "You don't know Chen Weiguo, do you?"
They both love to gamble, it's hard not to think of them together.
The two little ghosts didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "Yes, we know each other. When playing cards together a few days ago, I heard Master Chen mention that you seem to have a lot of money here, so I thought of borrowing some flowers..."
Sure enough.
Ji Yi laughed angrily at them, and a ghost went crazy, "Is this a loan?"
Liu Dalei frightened the two ghosts: "It's not good to steal from anyone, come here to steal, do you know that Master Lin Zhao is looking after this place, and Master Lin Zhao will know about your behavior tomorrow, let's see how you die."
As expected, the two little ghosts were trembling with fright, begging for mercy repeatedly.
They look pitiful, but Ji Yi has no intention of softening her heart at all.A gambler in the yangworld, a gambler in the underworld, is probably a virtue. Gambling nature can do anything, otherwise he would not be so bold to touch him and steal after knowing the general situation here.
Liu Dalei said to Ji Yi: "It's not the first time they have come here. Two days ago, I felt that I had less ingots. I thought it was just my memory. Today they caught the current one, and they can't deny it."
Liu Dalei was obsessed in the kitchen, he didn't care whether Yuanbao was ingot or not, but that didn't mean he would be calm if his money was stolen.It's just that he is also under Ji Yi's roof now, how to deal with the two brats is not easy to pass him by.
Ji Yi yawned, she was still quite sleepy, and heard that the two brats were not the first offenders, but they stole after tasting the sweetness.He thought to himself that there is probably no bottom line for gambling ghosts, if they are easily let go now, they will not be afraid of thieves stealing them, but they will worry about them.
Seeing the cowardice of those two ghosts, Ji Yi said to Liu Dalei: "Didn't you say that the kitchen is short of manpower? I don't think they can pay you back the ingots. Why don't you let them help you in the kitchen? When do you feel that you have paid off?" The money will let them go."
Liu Dalei originally wanted to beat them hard to relieve his anger, but when he heard Ji Yi's proposal, he thought it would be better, so he picked up the two brats at once, "Then follow me to work from now on, hmph, it's pretty cheap for you guys, You know what criteria I would have used to accept apprentices."
The two brats didn't dare to say anything, whether they wanted to or not, they had to admit their cowardice at this moment.
Ji Yi was quite reluctant to send Shuai Zhiming away.
Not to mention that Shuai Zhiming got along well with him these two days, but that Shuai Zhiming actually brought him a lot of customers later on made Ji Yi feel grateful.
Before leaving, Shuai Zhiming also sincerely suggested to Ji Yi that he can directly charge for the food separately, just like the previous model of some farmhouses with accommodation.Although Shuai Zhiming hasn't seen what the chef here looks like in the past two days, he is already very sure of his cooking skills.
It’s not that Ji Yi mentioned by Shuai Zhiming didn’t think about it, but when he thought about it before, he felt that the homestay didn’t have a stable passenger flow at the beginning, and it might not be able to attract some guests who specialize in eating.
After all, there are not many restaurants with delicious food, but there are definitely many, and not many customers will come here just for a meal.Even if there is such a situation, it must be under the premise that the homestay has a certain reputation.
And the key point is that if you want to provide a la carte service, you need to prepare a lot of materials in advance every day. It is easy to say that there are many customers who can sell them, but if there are not enough customers, this is still a big burden.
If it can solve the cost burden in this area, Ji Yi is quite willing to do it.Liu Dalei kept saying that he was being overqualified, but Ji Yi didn't want to give him a chance to fully develop himself?
Ji Yi returned to Hongye Village full of thoughts, and just as he stopped the car, he heard the rustling of the bushes over there.
He turned his head and looked over, and found a few monkey heads poking out of the grass.
The monkeys stared at Ji Yi cautiously, looking cautious.
"Hey," Ji Yi immediately reacted when he saw them, "Is it the peaches you guys took?"
The monkeys were originally observing Ji Yi, but when they heard Ji Yi's question, they nodded in a humane way. One of them turned its head and disappeared into the bushes, and came back after a while, holding a peach in its hand as a gesture Pass it to Ji Yi.
These monkeys are obviously different from the Jiulouyu in Beishan. Their bodies are well-managed and their eyes are light and bright.And judging from the way they nodded when they heard Ji Yi's words, they knew that these monkeys should have opened their spiritual consciousness like the Shrike, and could communicate with Ji Yi.
It's just that Ji Yi didn't see them speak after he said a few words, so he speculated that their cultivation was not enough, and they might not be able to speak out.
"You don't know how to speak human language?" Ji Yi squatted in front of them, lowering her head and trying to keep her eye level with the monkeys.
After he asked, he felt that his words seemed a bit ambiguous, but the little monkeys didn't mind.
The monkeys nodded, and the one in the lead stuffed the peach into Ji Yi's hand.
The monkeys also seemed to have the desire to communicate with Ji Yi. They looked left and right, and their gazes were fixed on the old tree tree next to the old house. One of the monkeys with a bunch of dull hair on its head walked over and patted the tree trunk, then squeaked. Squeaked twice.
The old dryad said reluctantly: "It says they don't know how to speak human language yet, and they are learning."
The monkey squeaked again, and the old tree spirit continued to translate, "Because I have been in the mountains and haven't seen anyone, so there are few opportunities to practice. Now Master Lin Zhao has let go, and they are also looking for some opportunities to contact people .”
It turned out to be like this, Ji Yi suddenly realized.
He knew that one of the major criteria for judging the success of some monsters in cultivation was whether they could transform into a human form and speak human words, but he didn't expect that this required contact with people to practice.Think about it too, how can it become better out of thin air without a reference object?
Ji Yi looked at the peach in his hand and asked, "So you want to get in touch with me more?"
The old tree spirit said again: "It's not just about getting in touch with you more, in fact, the more people you get in touch with, the better. You can learn all kinds of people's attitudes. If you want to improve, you have to learn even human characters. Integration into human society without barriers, integration is not necessarily a goal, but a necessary ability.”
The whole half sentence after that was said by the old tree spirit himself, not only for Ji Yi, but also for the little monkeys to listen to.
The little monkey spirit only nodded when he heard the words.
After all, the old tree spirit is a tree in the village. Over the years, he has witnessed many people in Hongye Village from childhood to adulthood and died of old age. He has a much better understanding of many things than the little monkey spirit.
The little monkey chirped and looked at Ji Yi expectantly.
Ji Yi was puzzled and waited for the old tree spirit to translate.
"They mean that they hope to come and observe human beings often in the future so that they can learn and improve. I don't know if you allow it or not."
There is nothing wrong with monkeys appearing here, even if tourists see a high probability, they will only find it cute.Ji Yi also felt that these little monkeys were very lovable, he said: "Of course you can, but I also have something to ask you."
The little monkey looked at Ji Yi with its round and clear eyes, as if asking him what he wanted to ask.
Ji Yi raised the peach in his hand and asked the little monkey, "Are there many such peaches in your mountains?"
The little monkey nodded without hesitation, and drew a big circle on his chest with both hands. The old dryad added: "There are so many, there are too many to eat."
Ji Yi wanted to drool when she heard it, but she still took out her phone and opened an app with a function of buying vegetables, and pulled to the page of fruits and vegetables to point to the little monkey, "Is there this, this, this?"
The little monkey nodded all at once, the meaning couldn't be more obvious: "Yes, there are all of them."
After cooperating with Ji Yi to read the entire list of fruits and vegetables, the little monkey also said that not only the mountains that Ji Yi showed it had them, but also the mountains that didn't have them.
Ji Yi looked at the boundless Dai Mountain again. Is this a mountain?Isn't this a treasure trove of resources that are fresh 24 hours and taste great?
The vegetable market in Qingxi Town in the morning was picked and sold by many local farmers, occupying the space on both sides of the originally narrow road.The only small fruit shop in the town just opened early in the morning.
"Uncle, how much is this lotus root per catty?"
Ji Yi squatted down, and the picking action looked like a novice in the kitchen.
The uncle glanced at him, and quoted a price: "Seven yuan a catty, all freshly dug out today." He picked up a piece and cut it up, and there was still mud in the lotus root hole, and gave it to Ji Yi. The festival is very tender."
No matter how stupid Ji Yi was, he could see that the lotus root was not good, so he took another two. "Cut the head and tail off for me."
The boss curled his lips, but he still picked up the knife and cut off the inedible part of the lotus root joint, and then weighed it: "It's a catty and a half, I'll charge you ten yuan."
Ji Yi took the lotus root, weighed it casually, felt that the weight should not be much different, and paid the money readily.

Lin Zhao just jumped down from the treetop, "What kind of exchange do you want to make with them, that's up to you."
"Is that okay?" Ji Yi asked.
Lin Zhao was noncommittal, but Ji Yi was already a little familiar with his temperament, and in this situation, he acquiesced.
It was Lin Zhao's awkward appearance that made Ji Yi couldn't help scolding him in his heart, stinky cat.

Ji Yi went to pick him up at the appointed time with Shuai Zhiming, and after a while, he saw Shuai Zhiming coming down the mountain.
It's just that Shuai Zhiming looks a little downcast compared to the high-spirited when he went out in the morning.
As soon as he saw Ji Yi, he said, "Boss, the monkey in Beishan is different from the one I met yesterday."
Unexpectedly, I still met the Beishan Monkey. Ji Yi looked at Shuai Zhiming's obviously ravaged appearance, and felt a little guilty and pitiful: "Maybe it's not a group of monkeys."
Shuai Zhiming followed Ji Yi back to the B&B. He mainly came here for the lunch at the B&B, or else he didn't go down the mountain and directly ate at the restaurant above Beishan.
Fortunately, the food at the homestay was as delicious as ever, which greatly comforted Shuai Zhiming's mood.

Ji Yi took the phone back to her room, and replied to a few netizens who read Weibo and asked questions.After all, there are only a small number of people who book directly, and most of them come to join in the fun.
Ji Yi swiped his phone for a while, remembered that he poked into the Weibo of a well-known local handsome guy, and found that Shuai Zhiming had posted another Weibo, which contained a collection of photos from today's morning, noon and dinner, and this time he called and praised Daishan The food at the homestay is good.
However, the traffic of this Weibo returned to normal, with only dozens of retweets and more than a hundred comments. After all, it is rare for Weibos like the previous two to be hotly reposted by netizens.But some people said that they wanted to try it when they were hungry.
Ji Yi looked at her phone again and found that it was already ten o'clock, so she turned off the lights and went to sleep.
If you want to say what is the biggest improvement after not being a social animal, it is that Ji Yi got rid of the bad habit of staying up late.Now he basically goes to bed at [-] o'clock and gets up around [-] o'clock in the morning. He sleeps very well, and there is no abnormality at night, but he sleeps until dawn.
It's just that Ji Yi felt that she fell asleep not long before being woken up by the movement outside.
Confused, Ji Yi pricked up his ears to listen, only to hear Liu Dalei yelling and cursing, what kind of bastard, bastard, etc.The voices of old man Li and old man Sun were also mixed in the middle, although they were persuading, there were also scolding.Looking at it together, it seems to be persuading Liu Dalei. If you scold him, you don't know who you are scolding.
Could it be that a few ghosts were bored playing cards at night and started arguing?
He knew that when Chen Weiguo came to work at night, he would organize card games during the break time, and even tried to play for money, but Ji Yi stopped him by saying that he was not allowed to organize gambling here.They occasionally play something that doesn't count for money.
Hearing the loud noise outside, Ji Yi couldn't sleep, so she had to sit up, put on her slippers and go outside.
The noise outside made Ji Yi unable to sleep because Ji Yi could hear the voices of these ghosts. When Ji Yi opened the door and saw that there was no movement in Shuai Zhiming's room, she knew it hadn't affected him.So Ji Yi didn't speak loudly, lest her own voice wake up the guests.
Ji Yi saw a few ghosts at the main entrance, Liu Dalei, a tall and burly ghost, was holding down two skinny ghosts, and old man Li and old man Sun were also pulling these two ghosts to stop them from escaping.
Ji Yi walked over and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing, who are these two?"
Liu Dalei said indignantly: "These two brats stole from Chef Ben, do you think they are looking for death or not?"
"Thief?" Ji Yi was a little puzzled, looking down at the two skinny ghosts, he could vaguely tell from the blue-gray faces of the two ghosts that they should not be very old when they died, but they had a wretched aura.
Old man Sun said: "I recognize these two ghosts. In the past, I liked to do some shady things. I don't want to talk about them secretly. They are still two gamblers, but now they have the courage to come here to steal. If it weren't for me and Lao Li, I would be here today." I'm afraid I've already managed to run away."
The two little ghosts begged for mercy: "Boss Ji, Boss Ji, we are also obsessed with ghosts, so we will never dare again next time, please let us go."
"Do you know who I am?" Ji Yi was puzzled at first, and then thinking about old man Sun saying that they are gamblers, he changed his mind, "You don't know Chen Weiguo, do you?"
They both love to gamble, it's hard not to think of them together.
The two little ghosts didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "Yes, we know each other. When playing cards together a few days ago, I heard Master Chen mention that you seem to have a lot of money here, so I thought of borrowing some flowers..."
Sure enough.
Ji Yi laughed angrily at them, and a ghost went crazy, "Is this a loan?"
Liu Dalei frightened the two ghosts: "It's not good to steal from anyone, come here to steal, do you know that Master Lin Zhao is looking after this place, and Master Lin Zhao will know about your behavior tomorrow, let's see how you die."
As expected, the two little ghosts were trembling with fright, begging for mercy repeatedly.
They look pitiful, but Ji Yi has no intention of softening her heart at all.A gambler in the yangworld, a gambler in the underworld, is probably a virtue. Gambling nature can do anything, otherwise he would not be so bold to touch him and steal after knowing the general situation here.
Liu Dalei said to Ji Yi: "It's not the first time they have come here. Two days ago, I felt that I had less ingots. I thought it was just my memory. Today they caught the current one, and they can't deny it."
Liu Dalei was obsessed in the kitchen, he didn't care whether Yuanbao was ingot or not, but that didn't mean he would be calm if his money was stolen.It's just that he is also under Ji Yi's roof now, how to deal with the two brats is not easy to pass him by.
Ji Yi yawned, she was still quite sleepy, and heard that the two brats were not the first offenders, but they stole after tasting the sweetness.He thought to himself that there is probably no bottom line for gambling ghosts, if they are easily let go now, they will not be afraid of thieves stealing them, but they will worry about them.
Seeing the cowardice of those two ghosts, Ji Yi said to Liu Dalei: "Didn't you say that the kitchen is short of manpower? I don't think they can pay you back the ingots. Why don't you let them help you in the kitchen? When do you feel that you have paid off?" The money will let them go."
Liu Dalei originally wanted to beat them hard to relieve his anger, but when he heard Ji Yi's proposal, he thought it would be better, so he picked up the two brats at once, "Then follow me to work from now on, hmph, it's pretty cheap for you guys, You know what criteria I would have used to accept apprentices."
The two brats didn't dare to say anything, whether they wanted to or not, they had to admit their cowardice at this moment.
Ji Yi was quite reluctant to send Shuai Zhiming away.
Not to mention that Shuai Zhiming got along well with him these two days, but that Shuai Zhiming actually brought him a lot of customers later on made Ji Yi feel grateful.
Before leaving, Shuai Zhiming also sincerely suggested to Ji Yi that he can directly charge for the food separately, just like the previous model of some farmhouses with accommodation.Although Shuai Zhiming hasn't seen what the chef here looks like in the past two days, he is already very sure of his cooking skills.
It’s not that Ji Yi mentioned by Shuai Zhiming didn’t think about it, but when he thought about it before, he felt that the homestay didn’t have a stable passenger flow at the beginning, and it might not be able to attract some guests who specialize in eating.
After all, there are not many restaurants with delicious food, but there are definitely many, and not many customers will come here just for a meal.Even if there is such a situation, it must be under the premise that the homestay has a certain reputation.
And the key point is that if you want to provide a la carte service, you need to prepare a lot of materials in advance every day. It is easy to say that there are many customers who can sell them, but if there are not enough customers, this is still a big burden.
If it can solve the cost burden in this area, Ji Yi is quite willing to do it.Liu Dalei kept saying that he was being overqualified, but Ji Yi didn't want to give him a chance to fully develop himself?
Ji Yi returned to Hongye Village full of thoughts, and just as he stopped the car, he heard the rustling of the bushes over there.
He turned his head and looked over, and found a few monkey heads poking out of the grass.
The monkeys stared at Ji Yi cautiously, looking cautious.
"Hey," Ji Yi immediately reacted when he saw them, "Is it the peaches you guys took?"
The monkeys were originally observing Ji Yi, but when they heard Ji Yi's question, they nodded in a humane way. One of them turned its head and disappeared into the bushes, and came back after a while, holding a peach in its hand as a gesture Pass it to Ji Yi.
These monkeys are obviously different from the Jiulouyu in Beishan. Their bodies are well-managed and their eyes are light and bright.And judging from the way they nodded when they heard Ji Yi's words, they knew that these monkeys should have opened their spiritual consciousness like the Shrike, and could communicate with Ji Yi.
It's just that Ji Yi didn't see them speak after he said a few words, so he speculated that their cultivation was not enough, and they might not be able to speak out.
"You don't know how to speak human language?" Ji Yi squatted in front of them, lowering her head and trying to keep her eye level with the monkeys.
After he asked, he felt that his words seemed a bit ambiguous, but the little monkeys didn't mind.
The monkeys nodded, and the one in the lead stuffed the peach into Ji Yi's hand.
The monkeys also seemed to have the desire to communicate with Ji Yi. They looked left and right, and their gazes were fixed on the old tree tree next to the old house. One of the monkeys with a bunch of dull hair on its head walked over and patted the tree trunk, then squeaked. Squeaked twice.
The old dryad said reluctantly: "It says they don't know how to speak human language yet, and they are learning."
The monkey squeaked again, and the old tree spirit continued to translate, "Because I have been in the mountains and haven't seen anyone, so there are few opportunities to practice. Now Master Lin Zhao has let go, and they are also looking for some opportunities to contact people .”
It turned out to be like this, Ji Yi suddenly realized.
He knew that one of the major criteria for judging the success of some monsters in cultivation was whether they could transform into a human form and speak human words, but he didn't expect that this required contact with people to practice.Think about it too, how can it become better out of thin air without a reference object?
Ji Yi looked at the peach in his hand and asked, "So you want to get in touch with me more?"
The old tree spirit said again: "It's not just about getting in touch with you more, in fact, the more people you get in touch with, the better. You can learn all kinds of people's attitudes. If you want to improve, you have to learn even human characters. Integration into human society without barriers, integration is not necessarily a goal, but a necessary ability.”
The whole half sentence after that was said by the old tree spirit himself, not only for Ji Yi, but also for the little monkeys to listen to.
The little monkey spirit only nodded when he heard the words.
After all, the old tree spirit is a tree in the village. Over the years, he has witnessed many people in Hongye Village from childhood to adulthood and died of old age. He has a much better understanding of many things than the little monkey spirit.
The little monkey chirped and looked at Ji Yi expectantly.
Ji Yi was puzzled and waited for the old tree spirit to translate.
"They mean that they hope to come and observe human beings often in the future so that they can learn and improve. I don't know if you allow it or not."
There is nothing wrong with monkeys appearing here, even if tourists see a high probability, they will only find it cute.Ji Yi also felt that these little monkeys were very lovable, he said: "Of course you can, but I also have something to ask you."
The little monkey looked at Ji Yi with its round and clear eyes, as if asking him what he wanted to ask.
Ji Yi raised the peach in his hand and asked the little monkey, "Are there many such peaches in your mountains?"
The little monkey nodded without hesitation, and drew a big circle on his chest with both hands. The old dryad added: "There are so many, there are too many to eat."
Ji Yi wanted to drool when she heard it, but she still took out her phone and opened an app with a function of buying vegetables, and pulled to the page of fruits and vegetables to point to the little monkey, "Is there this, this, this?"
The little monkey nodded all at once, the meaning couldn't be more obvious: "Yes, there are all of them."
After cooperating with Ji Yi to read the entire list of fruits and vegetables, the little monkey also said that not only the mountains that Ji Yi showed it had them, but also the mountains that didn't have them.
Ji Yi looked at the boundless Dai Mountain again. Is this a mountain?Isn't this a treasure trove of resources that are fresh 24 hours and taste great?
