"Oh oh ~ you're struggling with this!" Shopkeeper Cao understood, turned his fat hand and said: "This is nothing difficult to understand, everything still comes down to the iron group, when it was just sent to the restaurant, the iron group was quiet and there was nothing wrong with it, and Master Lu left this matter behind in a blink of an eye." But after he and his wife died, the change of the iron regiment happened. ”

Shopkeeper Cao's answer confirmed Su Lie's guess: if the iron ball was really a living object, it was no wonder that Huang Zhao would notice a slight shock when he pressed his hand, as a general in the army, his senses were naturally sharper than ordinary people.

Su Lieengwu Nengwen, who has dabbled in group books since he was a child, has long known that at the beginning of the birth of the King Continent, there was a magical craftsman named Lu Ban, who belonged to a half-human and half-god character. No one on the continent has ever seen him, but he has been revered as the progenitor of all craftsmen, and temples dedicated to incense can often be found in the artisan settlements.

These are all wild history legends that Su Lie can only be regarded as a laugh, but one day, when he learned that the founder of the Great Wall is also Master Lu Ban, his feelings are completely different, and he can't help but read all the ancient books related to this person, and then understand that he is not only good at creating inanimate things, but also has unique achievements in building mecha people, which is really eye-opening!

It is a pity that the dolls created by the masters recorded in the historical records, whether made of iron or wood, are nowhere to be found. It stands to reason that mechanical creatures do not grow old, sick and die like ordinary people who eat whole grains, and most of them should still exist today, so where did they sneak away? Presumably it is secluded in the mountains and forests, only accompanied by wolves, tigers and leopards, and it is difficult to find a trace in the ordinary downtown area, right?

Seeing that Su Liewu was stunned, Shopkeeper Cao thought he was suspicious and was eager to confirm himself: "Don't believe this!" According to the cook who quit his job at Zhenxiang Restaurant, he secretly told others that on the third day after Mr. Lu's death, there was movement in the kitchen in the middle of the night, with a low whining sound, like someone crying, and half of the ingredients left by the cook in the cupboard to prepare for the next day could also be missing, but when he found it and looked around, he couldn't find any traces of theft. This happened several times in a row, and even the officials of the yamen were alarmed, and they came to check it several times, but they returned to no avail, and finally they didn't want to waste manpower on this headless public case, so they didn't want to do it. ”

"Mechs need to eat, too? I'm afraid that I'm worried about asking Master Lu to drive him away, so I have to endure it quietly for so many years, and I guess I'm hungry. Su Lie thought silently.

Shopkeeper Cao said: "Since the food theft case occurred, the matter of diners having diarrhea after eating has been started. The newly taken over shopkeeper Xue was at a loss, and every time an official went to check, he seemed quite resistant, but he didn't dare to stop it, so he just stayed aside and watched, and when the officials left without finding anything, he began to look around again, as if nothing happened. However, when the incident became big and the old customers ran out, he realized that the situation was serious, but what could he do? So, an explanation gradually spread in the streets and alleys, saying that Lu Min, the unscrupulous son of the Lu family, had done too many evils during his lifetime, and there were a lot of unjust ghosts, but the old man Lu was kind and charitable in his life, and he was a good man, so the unjust ghosts did not come to find his bad luck, and waited for him to die and then came to make trouble. To put it bluntly, that is, the Lu family's good luck has come to an end, and from now on, it will be bad luck and ruin......"

……

Walking out of Master Cao's restaurant, Su Lie stood on the street blankly. It's not that he can't find a place to go, but hesitant how to walk into the Zhenxiang Restaurant and talk to the shopkeeper Xue.

He was not worried that Shopkeeper Xue was a difficult character who concealed Saicong, but that he was afraid that he would be disappointed again, and after a long time, he found that the iron group described by Shopkeeper Cao was still not the key person hinted by Zhong Kui.

No matter how conflicted your heart is, you can't stop. If you always worry about the result when you do something, you will inevitably not be able to deal with it calmly, which is not his way of life.

After encouraging himself, Su Lie regained his spirits and walked into the strange restaurant that was avoided by the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City, but it was still open to welcome guests.

Since the business has become weaker and quieter, and the cooks have quit their jobs one after another, Shopkeeper Xue has dismissed dozens of running boys, leaving only three people who are quick and able to speak well. If one or two unsuspecting diners do come in, he cooks it himself. Anyway, the work of cleaning up a few small dishes occasionally is not heavy, and he is happy to move his sore muscles and bones. This kind of guest is usually not a local, they travel from south to north and leave after eating, so it is impossible to trace whether the food has adverse consequences after it has been eaten.

Listening to the introduction of the shopkeeper Cao, the shopkeeper Xue is also a scholar of Sven, Su Lie respects him, and he goes inside after he is dressed up.

The day before yesterday, a rough man, not a diner was a chef, and the boss was left to replace the god of the stove as the door god of the town kitchen, and today there is a big man with a beard and a scar, no matter how you look at it, it is much more majestic than the one in front, could it be that he is applying for a chef again? Why is it that people who know how to cook have changed like this now, as if they are going to go to war?

The three guys were idle and panicked, sitting on the stool at the door and chatting while swatting flies, and when they saw Su Lie stepping on the steps and walking inside, they stood up together.

The five steps used to be covered with a red carpet, but now not only is the red carpet gone, but also covered with dust and leaves.

Su Lie walked to the door and stopped, just because the guys were blocking the door.

"Hey, why is it closed here before noon?" Su Lie asked in surprise.

Ah, I really bumped into a foreign flute-headed goose again! It seems that some of the bosses are busy!

The guy was in a daze, but the one who came back to his senses first immediately smiled on his face, and swept away the two companions with his buttocks at ninety degrees, letting Su Lie in.

"What about you, guest officer, are you ordering food for dinner, or some wine? Our store has everything, and we can make you satisfied! ”

Xiao Er's tongue is full of flowers, and he praises a belly restaurant like Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, and people who don't know the truth can really fool him.

Su Lie smiled slightly and said, "It's not a secret, I've had lunch here, and I walked here, and I remembered that my friend was helping in it, so I came to visit." ”

"Huh? This man came to this quiet haunted restaurant to see his friends? "Dude, look at me, I'll look at you, it's very confusing. Usually there are only four fixed people who enter and exit the real fragrance restaurant, and they and the shopkeeper, and now there is a fake door god who has just started working, but the big man in front of him, which of them can you know?

Su Lie was not embarrassed, and directly named: "I am the eldest brother of Chef Huang who came to work yesterday, and I came here today to see if he can settle down here." ”
