Hearing this, Mu Anxiao retracted her hand, which was about to reach for the chopsticks, stood up, and turned to the woman, saying, "I am."
"It's you, you drove her away."
"...." Mu Anxiao was confused.
The dark green clothed woman said, "You drove away the demon soul, causing this place to return to its former state."
"I.."
"You're being too meddlesome," the dark green clothed woman said coldly.
Clearly, Mu Anxiao's good mood had vanished the moment the dark green clothed woman appeared.
"Are you blaming me?" she asked.
The dark green clothed woman said, "You can think of it that way."
Mu Anxiao: "...." She smiled helplessly.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's expression, the dark green clothed woman said angrily, "What are you smiling about?"
Mu Anxiao: "I'm laughing at you, what am I laughing about?"
"Why are you laughing at me? If this inn goes out of business, I'll have nowhere to go, it's all you..."
"Those leafy vegetables were made by you."
Before the dark green clothed woman said this, Mu Anxiao had not guessed her identity.
But the moment she said it, Mu Anxiao guessed that she was the inn's cook.
"Yes."
"You are this inn's cook."
"Yes."
"Then do you know what happened here?"
"..." The dark green clothed woman began to avert her gaze.
Seeing her guilty expression, Mu Anxiao chuckled, "It seems you do know."
"I know, so what?"
"You know, and yet you kill your own kind, you.."
"Only then will they be willing to eat what I make, I think this is.. good."
Mu Anxiao: "...." She lowered her head.
The woman: "Why aren't you talking anymore?"
"I have nothing to say to you, I just want to eat a meal now." Mu Anxiao sat down and picked up her chopsticks.
The woman said, "I won't say anything else either, you go find that demon soul for me now."
Mu Anxiao picked up a bun and took a bite, saying, "These steamed buns are made by you."
"Yes," the woman replied stiffly.
Mu Anxiao picked up a portion of food and put it in her mouth, "This dish was also stir-fried by you."
"Yes."
Then, Mu Anxiao looked up at the woman, "I think your dishes and buns are much tastier than those leafy greens."
"..."
"How long has it been since you've made these dishes?"
"Can you stop asking so many questions? These dishes, no demons will like them."
"Do you know why there's no business here?"
"...." The woman squinted her eyes, "I don't know."
"It's not because of your cooking skills, it's because this place.. is not good," Mu Anxiao said as she ate.
Yesterday, Mu Anxiao hadn't felt that this place was old, but after seeing the dilapidated outer walls just now.
She understood that the reason for the lack of business was purely due to the location and the poor condition of the house.
"Location?"
"Yes, I've calculated it, there are a total of ten inns here, and yours is the cheapest, so they are all willing to come."
"Cheap."
"Yes, it's precisely because it's cheap that it attracts people like me, who don't have an inner core, to patronize it."
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, the woman sat down.
"Your meaning is, it's not a problem with my cooking skills?"
"Yes, you don't need to deceive consumers like that at all."
"Deceiving consumers?"
"Your way of doing things is deceiving consumers."
"Is that so."
"Yes, what's your name?"
"I don't have a name, you can call me Little Cook."
"Little Cook?" Mu Anxiao repeated, smiled, "Your name is really quite casual."
However, just as Mu Anxiao said this, Feng Qishi walked over.
Feng Qishi said, "Why are you here." He stopped beside Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao didn't even look at Feng Qishi, and said while eating, "I'm having breakfast, why wouldn't I be here." xxs one
"Breakfast is in the room," Feng Qishi said, looking down at the Little Cook sitting beside Mu Anxiao, and asked, "Who is this?"
Mu Anxiao: "This is Little Cook."
"You are the cook?"
That's right, Feng Qishi had always thought the cook here was a man, and now seeing the woman before him, he was also surprised.
"Yes," Little Cook stood up.
Feng Qishi: "Your cooking is delicious."
"Thank you!" Little Cook was happy.
Mu Anxiao looked up and said, "See, did I lie to you?"
"No, I take back what I just said," Little Cook said, then turned and walked away.
Immediately after, the women who had been rescued yesterday came down the stairs and then looked with surprise at Mu Anxiao, who was sitting at the table and starting to eat.
Then, the green clothed woman stepped forward and said, "Miss, this is our meal."
Since waking up, Feng Qishi had said that the waiter was closed.
Naturally, Mu Anxiao assumed these women had already left.
Now, as the green clothed woman asked, she became embarrassed.
"Eh? This is your meal?" Mu Anxiao asked, then suddenly stood up.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's embarrassment over this matter, Feng Qishi sighed, took out an inner core from his sleeve, and handed it to the green clothed woman, "Buy something else."
The green clothed woman looked down at the inner core Feng Qishi was handing her and said, "No need."
"Then, I apologize," Feng Qishi said, then turned to look at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao picked up the bun she had half-eaten on the table and handed it to the green clothed woman with a cold face, saying, "Here you go."
The green clothed woman looked at Mu Anxiao's apologetic expression and couldn't help but smile, "You eat it."
"Then, thank you."
The green clothed woman's smile left Mu Anxiao speechless.
A few minutes later.
Mu Anxiao walked into the room with Feng Qishi.
The waiter turned to look at Mu Anxiao and said, "We've been waiting for you for a long time."
Mu Anxiao walked forward gracefully and said, "Who told you not to explain clearly, I thought what was downstairs was ours." As she spoke, she popped the last bite of the bun into her mouth.
The waiter said, "What's downstairs was prepared for those women."
"I know," Mu Anxiao said, walking to the waiter's side and sitting down.
After Feng Qishi closed the door, he walked forward and said, "I thought the cook was a man, but it turns out to be a woman."
Hearing this, the waiter's expression changed, and he cautiously looked at Mu Anxiao, "You met her?"
"Mm."
"She didn't say anything to you, did she?"
"No, I can tell she's not very confident in her cooking skills."
"Yes."
"Who is she to you?"
"Why do you ask?"
"If I'm not mistaken, she's more capable than you, so why is she willing to be your cook?" Mu Anxiao picked up her chopsticks, "I don't quite understand this."
"You saw through it."
"Yes."
"She is indeed very capable, but," the waiter's eyes darkened, "she is not a confident girl, always feeling inferior in many things."
"Gradually, she doesn't want to deal with any demons from the demon realm, and just wants to hide in the kitchen, is that it?"
"Yes."
