The maid teahouse in Shencheng is very historic.

At the earliest, the Shen family came here to pioneer and relied on force to crush the chaos monsters and indigenous spirits, and established Shencheng, the vanguard border station of human civilization.

And then soon the wind and rain drifted away under pressure from all sides. Thanks to the special laws of heaven and earth and the chaotic aura, the number of spirits around Shen City is more than ten times more than that of other places, and no matter how the immortal cultivators of the Shen family suppress the spiritual veins and arrange the enchantment, they have never been able to truly cut the grass and eradicate the roots, making this place a pure human civilization territory. Often during the day, the magic circle is used to suppress Dehe Qinghai Yan, and when a gust of night wind blows, it will be savage again, and it will become a paradise for mountain spirits and wild monsters.

So in desperation, the Shen family also had to have some flexible thinking.

Chaos monsters are still unshakable mortal enemies, and those things that have lost their rationality and are enemies of the creatures of the world have no possibility of a gentle united front. In fact, before the arrival of the Shen family, the area around Shen City had always been surrounded by indigenous spirits and demon spirits that killed you to death. It wasn't until the Shen family entered the market strongly that it attracted firepower from both sides at the same time.

And after the Shen family began to throw an olive branch to the indigenous spirits, the situation immediately improved, the indigenous spirits, but whoever formed a civilization, none of them did not yearn for the envy of the human immortal cultivators, as long as the human beings were willing to give the opportunity to cooperate, the indigenous spirits simply flocked to it.

Although from the perspective of innate conditions, indigenous spirits are often superior to humans, for example, their physical strength is often far superior to that of humans, and a small number of spirits with excellent bloodlines naturally have their own supernatural powers, and even more when they are born, they can pull the spiritual wind of heaven and earth and turn into their own true element. This is a typical innate immortal body in the human world, since the end of the flood era, there has never been such a talent on the Xiangzhou continent.

But on the other hand, from the perspective of groups and civilizations, spirits are far inferior to human beings, whether it is the rational cognition of the avenue of heaven and earth, or the spread and inheritance of civilization achievements, human civilization has shown an overwhelming advantage.

The spirits who first came to settle in Shencheng melted into the melting pot of human civilization almost instantly. The ability of a strong civilization to crush a weak civilization is simply beyond imagination, and in almost a few years, the original indigenous spirits who drank blood and were naked changed into human silk and satin, drank tea and read the newspaper, and then spoke a human language with a slightly strange accent to talk to human girls on the street.

But on the other hand, there are still various physiological differences between spirits and humans. For example, in terms of taste, human cuisine is difficult to please spirits, and spirits are often poisons for humans, so dining habits can only be dealt with separately.

And more importantly, not all spirits can smoothly integrate into human civilization, and some spirits are stubborn and eccentric by nature, not suitable for social activities, and it is difficult to work and live according to human rules. When such a person comes to Shencheng, he will soon lose his place and eventually become a criminal and be seriously dealt with by the law enforcers of Shencheng.

As the spirits settled in Shencheng, more and more problems were exposed, and the people of Shencheng had to consider various ways to kill these frictions. For those that are convenient for integration, they will crush the past with a strong culture, and for those who cannot be integrated, some will maintain a distance, be independent of each other, and let them fend for themselves. Some were simply eradicated by force, and in short, it took hundreds of years before they finally settled down.

The maid teahouse was born during this period of cultural integration.

In the earliest days, a kind old man took in a few lively and cute but clumsy fox girls in his teahouse. In addition to their physical appearance, these fox girls have few advantages to speak of: they have no physical powers, and their cultivation talent is extremely poor, and even among the spirits, they belong to an endangered and protected species with little sense of existence. After coming to Shencheng, it was very difficult to live quickly, and basically only the skin and meat business was left, but this race attaches great importance to reproductive and reproductive behavior - they will only estrus with one object in their lives, so they seem to be charming in their appearance, but they are even more chaste than humans, and they are simply shocked by the human skin and meat business.

It is conceivable that such a group of vulnerable creatures are in a difficult situation in human society. When he was down, he was about to return to the countryside, but fortunately, at this time, the old man who ran the teahouse happened to lack manpower, so he took these lively little girls to be the second child of the shop, and considering that they were wild and untamable, the old man carefully designed a work uniform similar to a maid from a large family for them, and it really looked like a maid when she wore it.

However, objectively speaking, these fox girls are definitely not qualified service personnel, clumsy, and lost: the Tieguanyin ordered by the guests, but the Guanyin soil was served, and the tea consumption of 1 tael of broken silver was recorded as 100 taels, and almost every day they would break the teacup or spill the hot tea on the guests, and the obese guests would gather the little sisters to discuss his fat ratio with a volume that everyone could hear...... The old man of the teahouse had to come forward to apologize to the guests every day, and his life was almost lost.

But even if everything is not, the fox girls have one good thing after all: they are really cute.

So after the initial run-in period, soon the teahouse ushered in a group of regular guests, these people have different backgrounds, there are wealthy dignitaries, who have really enjoyed the salary of the young master surrounded by maids, there are senior officers from the Shen family's army, and there are ordinary peddlers and pawns, but without exception, they all enjoy the feeling of being served messily by these fox girls, especially the fat guests who are often talked about the proportion of fat and oil are the best in this, and the most enjoyable thing is to be splashed on the thighs by hot tea, The intoxicating expression that seemed to melt fat was a nightmare......

But in any case, relying on the support of this group of die-hard guests, the business of the teahouse was booming, and the old man of the teahouse did not have a few years to live, but he was rewarded with an elixir by a distinguished guest, and his life was extended by 20 years. At the same time, he also won the favor of the leader of the fox girl, married him, and enjoyed a full 10 years of sexual happiness before his death.

Such a beautiful and moving story naturally triggered a large number of imitators.

Although the number of fox girls is small, and the fox girls who are willing to serve tea and water to people in the teahouse account for only a small number of fox girls...... But there are quite a few other spirits that look like humans and differ only slightly in the details. And there really can't be a humanoid spirit, and it's not unacceptable for purely inhuman service personnel. After all, Shencheng is so big, and there are not a few heroes like Hermes...... For a time, all kinds of mountain spirits and wild monsters flooded the vast service industry, forming a characteristic cultural industry.

This trend has been inherited, and a unique maid teahouse culture has been formed. Although today, the real spirit bloodline has almost died out, and the beast ears that can grow in the city are basically cosmetic surgery. However, the people of Shencheng still use a variety of cultural alternatives to inherit the traditions of their predecessors as much as possible.

"So, you have introduced us to the history of so many maid teahouses, what does it have to do with what we are going to do?"

On the street, Shen Qingming had to interrupt Li Wanqing's endless history class and ask about the topic.

Li Wanqing said: "Because I need to find out whether the secret weapon we used in Qingyun City can still be used again in Shen City." ”

Shen Qingming heard inexplicably: "What weapon?" ”

Li Wanqing said: "Think about it, when we are in Qingyun City, if we want to do something and others don't agree, and the other party is high and powerful, what should we do? ”

Shen Qingming said: "Xiaozhi is moved by reason? ”

"To be precise, it is to put on cat ears, cat tails and cat paws, and use meow language to know how to reason and move with affection, 'people just want it, just buy it for others, it's okay to meow~'"

Before he finished speaking, Li Chaolu next to him was already laughing out loud without grace.

Shen Qingming's face turned red and hot in an instant: "Nonsense! I didn't say that! ”

Li Wanqing said: "Yes, I said it. ”

“……”

"I'm also a member of the Civet Project and also have the right to use the image of the civet, so what's so weird?"

"......" Shen Qingming opened her mouth and stammered, she originally had a lot to say, but once she thought of Li Wanqing wearing cat ears and cat tails, she was tired of begging...... All thoughts have vanished.

"The image of the civet cat is quite marketable in Qingyun City." Li Wanqing said seriously, "People have a kind of instinctive affection for this anthropomorphic animal, or animal-like person. So I thought about it before, if Shen Jinghai and Shen Yueying refused to let go of their prejudices no matter what, then they could only wronged you to roll around as a civet light tea. ”

"I won't go if I die!"

"The problem now is that even if you go, I'm afraid it won't help." Li Wanqing spread her hands, "Due to the existence of the maid teahouse, the people of Shencheng have long been accustomed to this half-human and half-beast girl image, in this city, there are more than 120 maid teahouses registered and in continuous operation for more than 1 year, although it is not a mainstream teahouse, but the distribution has been quite extensive, and the cultural influence can also be called deep-rooted. Our civet plan can still occupy a certain market in other places, but it is difficult to do business in Shencheng, although there is a historical relationship between Qingyun City and Shencheng, but more importantly, the image of the civet cat is not a rare concept here, and there is no selling point. ”

“…… So? ”

"That's it, that's all for my investigation." Li Wanqing said with some regret, "That maid girl is a good appetizer, she is only willing to introduce me here, and I will only talk about it at her house at night." ”

After a pause, Li Wanqing said: "So further reports, I will not be able to give you until I go to her house tonight to collect materials." ”

"Are you really going!? What are you going to take?! ”

Li Wanqing said: "Of course I have to go, I have flirted with countless sisters in my life, but there are only a handful of girls who have taken the initiative to tease, if you don't respond, you will become a demon in the future." ”

"You're too worthless, aren't you?"
