Fairy takeaway

On the first day of March, according to the agreement, he went to Mao Chuncheng to look for the fried egg with tomato that Yunge wanted to order.At the beginning of a new month, the weather was not as beautiful as expected.The sky was gray, and the clouds rolled outside, as if separated by a thick layer of veil.

He Nuo smelled a hint of rain, and he regretted not putting on the umbrella.If he gets wet, he will spend hours scrubbing and drying his fur when he gets home, which will delay his dinner time.

Nevertheless, on Sunday, Mao Chuncheng was full of life.Human beings walked out of their houses one after another, put on brightly colored spring clothes, and walked in twos and threes on the bustling streets.

Among the bustling crowd, Tano was unremarkable.He is like a bard wandering outside the city, observing and admiring, but not blending in.He has been a nunxiu for many years, but the human world is still strange and mysterious to him.He will have to study for many, many years before he can fully disguise himself and fully adapt to living in the human world—if he still hopes to do so by then.

He Nuo was browsing the dazzling display windows while taking out snacks from his pocket.What I prepare today is shredded squid, which is oven-dried. It is extremely chewy and has the unique sweetness of seafood.While stuffing shredded squid into his mouth, Tano reminded himself to keep half a can and go to the little boss's house to bribe after finishing business.

Stopping and stopping like this, it was already noon when he arrived at the destination.He patted his flat belly, wondering if he should order something for himself while ordering.What would you like to order?Speaking of which, what is thick egg yakiniku?Although I haven't eaten it, but according to Yun Ge, it is extremely delicious food?I don't know if they sell shrimp flavor except tomato flavor.

He Nuo smacked his lips and looked up at the house number again.

The house number is correct, but there is no sign of a snack bar here.He Nuo rubbed his eyes, took out a notebook from his pocket, and checked the address again.

correct.

There is no shop.

Thick egg yaki without tomato.

Of course, there will be no fried shrimp and thick eggs.

The shop in front of me looked like it had been abandoned for some time.The glass windows were stained with countless off-white spatter-like stains.He Nuo wrinkled his nose, smelling the otter's unpleasant smell.Looking through the dirty glass, it was almost impossible to see the interior.The door of the shop was open, and he glanced at it.There was no light turned on inside, and in such a gray weather, all the furnishings seemed to be covered by black shadows.The outlines of the tables and chairs could be vaguely discerned. The tables were tilted, many chairs fell on the ground, and no one tidied them up.

Tomato thick egg scrambled instantly became not what I expected.

He Nuo stood silently, momentarily at a loss.He waited on the spot for a while before there was human movement in the shop.A tall, thin young male human came out of the back kitchen of the shop.His complexion looked bad, the corners of his mouth drooped, and his thick eyebrows flew into his temples, like two exclamation marks.As he walked outside, he patted the dust off his clothes.

"Hello." He Nuo stepped forward and greeted politely.

The young human stopped, and looked at him in surprise. "Didn't you say you'll be here tomorrow?" He said, apparently mistaking the person, "I'm sorry, the store hasn't been cleaned up yet, and Auntie Cleaning won't be here until the afternoon." He glanced at the stained glass window, meaning Have something to say.

He Nuo quickly waved his hand and explained, "Actually, I'm here to place an order."

"Place an order?" The young human was even more surprised, and began to stutter, "Yes, but our store should have closed down, and we stopped doing it more than a month ago."

Oh no wonder.

He promised to be so open-minded.If he can easily place an order and deliver it smoothly, he probably won't even believe it himself.Isn't it just closed?Small problems, he can handle well.

"Actually, it's like this..." He Nuo pinched his fingers, his head was spinning rapidly, and he stammered a lie, "I have a friend who is courting recently..."

Ok?

"Uh, no, I'm begging, begging...begging someone else to be his friend." Tanuo swallowed nervously, and continued to make up, "My friend worked very hard, for the bird in his heart... people sang They sang for three days and three nights, and the singing flew to the sky, moving the stars and the moon.

Unfortunately, however, his friend did not agree to him immediately.His friend demanded that he would only agree to it if he eats the tomato thick egg yakiniku made by you.This matter is very important to my friend, so he asked me to buy tomato thick egg yakiniku no matter what.so……"

He Nuo raised his eyes and looked at the young human.The high tension made his eyes moist, making him look even more convincing.The young human was shaken for a moment.

This sounds like a really good story. If we can open again, it must be printed on our advertisement. In the future, our thick egg roast will be renamed Zhenai thick egg burnt.

The young human hesitated, and said: "I... I didn't expect... Hey, actually... You don't have to buy it from me. Our equipment is similar, and the kitchen hasn't been fired for a long time. It really can't be done. .”

He snorted in disappointment.He scratched his ears, trying to take a chance. "Is there really no other way? Is there any other place to burn a copy? I can pay a higher price." Even so, the small calculation in his heart was crackling.Don't ask for too high a price, he prayed, so far, I've only made a small sum of money by relying on the food delivered by the gods.And this money is not enough to buy two dried fish for the little boss.

The young humans did not waver.He shook his head and remained silent.

It seems that he is also brooding about the closing of the store, and he is unwilling to do so.He Nuo decided to change his strategy and take the intimate route.He asked: "Excuse me, why did the shop close? As far as I know, the dishes you cook are delicious."

The young human smiled, but his brows did not stretch. "I can't drive anymore." He said simply.

He Nuo glanced at the dirty glass window, a strange thought came to his mind, but he didn't grasp it. "Did someone bully you?" He whispered.

A tangled look appeared on the young human's face.He seemed to want to confide in Ta Nuo, but felt embarrassed and unable to speak.He Nuo quickly took out his own glass jar, unplugged it, and handed it to the young human. "It's okay," he encouraged, "Talk slowly. I have a lot of time, so maybe I can give you some advice."

The young human hesitated for a long time, and finally imitated his promise, found a relatively clean place by the side of the flowerbed, sat down, squeezed a small piece of squid shreds, and told his story.

The young human introduced himself as Song Shi, who came from a foreign land.A few years ago, he opened a snack bar in the main urban area of ​​Maochun City, called "Mao's Set Food", which serves some improved versions of Chinese and Japanese food.He manages with his heart, and has developed many novel dishes with excellent taste. In the first few years of opening, he was still very popular with customers and accumulated a good reputation.The business of the small shop is good, and Mr. Song Shi even considered buying his own house nearby.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long.The nightmare started a year ago.One winter morning, Mr. Song Shi suddenly found that he was being missed by a group of crows.

"A crow?" He Nuo listened with relish, stuffed a handful of shredded squid, and asked, "What kind of crow? Do they know you?"

Mr. Song Shi shook his head uncertainly, and said: "The crows all look the same, and I don't know if I've seen them before. But I'm sure I offended them. Because since that morning, this group of crows Almost every day they come to 'visit' my shop." He smiled wryly, "Not only did they come, they also airdropped 'gifts'."

Song Shi pointed to the glass window behind which became the hardest-hit area of ​​the airdrop, and sighed: "At first, I tried to drive them away. Later, I found out that the crows are very vengeful. The more I fight against them, the more fierce their revenge. At first Stained my glass and it turned into attacking my clients."

Cleaning and wiping the glass windows every day cannot guarantee the cleanliness of the store.And customers who were attacked by crows would most likely not want to set foot in the store again.A snack bar with environmental hygiene and customer experience as the cornerstone of word-of-mouth has gradually declined like this.

Mr. Song Shi insisted hard, spending half of his time every day to maintain the hygiene of the store, and also sought help about the crow's revenge from friends and the Internet.But in this way, he puts a lot less energy into the operation of dishes and small shops.Moreover, he found that there is no effective method of torso crow in the world.A year passed with nothing.The crows aren't coming as often as they started, but it's getting worse.

Mr. Song Shi finally realized that relying on his own strength could not support him.He made a painful decision to close the door and move away from this place hated by crows.

"Cat's Set Food" just closed down.

"I consulted an ornithologist on the Internet, and he told me that it is useless to drive or confront crows, a bird that holds vengeance. So far, the most clear way people know is to move. .” Mr. Song Shi shrugged and smiled helplessly.

He Nuo also sighed.He sympathized with Song Shi very much.He Nuo had also heard about the crow's name of vengeance.Father otter once warned him that in the venetian forest, anyone can be offended, but the only one who sees a crow will go far away.

They are a group of demons, Father Otter said, recalling sadly that when he was young and ignorant, he was once bombed by a group of small-billed crows with poop bombs from the lower reaches of the Hongjiu River to the upper reaches of the Hongjiu River.It was there that he met the mother otter and formed a lifelong friendship.

"Then what do you plan to do next? Do you want to continue to open the store?" If you move to a new place and a new start, Mr. Song Shi can reopen the store.Then his Tomato Thick Egg Roast also has hope.

However, Mr. Song Shi shook his head.This year's tossing has almost exhausted his principal, if not, he should continue to persevere.At least in the short term, Mr. Song Shi has no way to continue to operate his own shop.

"Maybe I will apply for a job as a chef and work for a few years. When the time is right, I will start again."

"This is also a good way." He Nuo said hesitantly.Just a few years away, and his opening ceremony can't wait.He rubbed his face in distress, and suddenly rolled his eyes, thinking of a way.

"Maybe I can help you!" He promised with a smile.

There is a lake in the upper reaches of Hongjiu River, opposite to Dayue Lake, named Xiaoyue Lake.The big and small moon lakes are dotted on both sides of the Hongjiu River's meandering channel like two pearls.At the estuary of Xiaoyue Lake, there lives a Chinese tortoise named Shututong.Grandpa Shututong is the oldest adult in the Baiyelin and Hongjiu River basins.

Grandpa Shututong has always lived in Xiaoyue Lake, and has never moved his nest for decades.How old is he, no one can say, only one thing is certain, Grandpa Shututong is a genius before the founding of the People's Republic of China.That's pretty remarkable.

Because of Guisheng's rich experience, Shututong's grandfather is knowledgeable, knows what ordinary people don't know, and can answer all kinds of unimaginable questions. He is a famous Bai Xiaosheng in the Hongjiu River Basin.Whoever has a question that cannot be resolved, likes to go to Xiaoyue Lake to visit Grandpa Shututong and pray for an answer.

He Nuo felt that if he asked Grandpa Shu Tutong, he might be able to know the answer.For Yun Ge's Thick Egg Burn, in order to help the poor Mr. Song Shi, he decided to lend a helping hand.

"Really?" Mr. Song Shi was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to expect too much.After all, the strange young man in front of him looked childish, with round peas eyes and chubby cheeks, he was a child at all, and looked like he couldn't bear the responsibility.

Just don't involve innocent people in it.Mr. Song Shi thought about it, and rejected his promise. "If you really want to eat tomato thick egg yakiniku, I can help you make one at home."

Tano shook his head.He does want to order, but Mr. Song Shi also looks like he needs help.Crows are different from most animals. They have always lived in human circles and adapted to urban life.To a certain extent, the crows in the city are inseparable from humans.Some of their behaviors will bring troubles to humans, so why not put themselves in danger?If Grandpa Shututong can know the solution, it must be a win-win result.

"Don't look at my inconspicuous appearance." He Nuo patted his chest, "I have rich experience in raising crows." He opened his eyes and told nonsense, and unexpectedly found that his ability to make up lies was getting better and better .I don't know whether to celebrate or not.

Mr. Song Shi was indeed shocked.People who keep crows are really rare.

In order to make his lie appear more real, he Nuo decided to make up some details. "It's true. I have a black crow at home. I call him Taji pot stewed fish. I know a lot about crows. I'll come back to you tomorrow when I go back to sort out my knowledge. Take me to find those crows. The crow that bullies you, I will intercede for you."

His words were inconsequential, sometimes he said that he knew it well, and sometimes he said that he would go home to sort out his knowledge, but no matter how you looked at it, it was full of loopholes.Mr. Song Shi really wanted to laugh, but unexpectedly he didn't feel disgusted.He had been troubled by himself for a long time, and this was the first time someone offered to help him.Whether or not the help resulted in substantial improvements, he felt comfortable.

"Thank you." Mr. Song Shi sincerely thanked, "Then you come to me. I will be here tomorrow. If you come, I will take you to see the crows." After a year-long struggle In the book, he already knew the habitat of the evil crows like the back of his hand.

Tomorrow, I'll cook the thick egg and bring it directly, he thought, so at least one of us will be satisfied.

"Okay, okay." He Nuo promised, and said: "Don't be sad, there are ways to solve things. Animals are smarter than you think, and it's easier to communicate than you think, as long as we find a way .”

Mr. Song Shi felt a little surprised.He froze for a moment and laughed. "Yeah." He nodded.

As if he had found a solution, he Nuo felt relieved.He walked back contentedly, turned halfway to Liujia Village, and went to visit the little boss who was still annoyed.

Halfway through, just as he expected, the sky began to drizzle.After a while, the rain turned heavy, soaking Tanuo's hair and soaking his coat.The fluffy head hair was wet and stuck to the forehead.He Nuo dialed it with his hands, sighed, and quickened his pace.He missed his salt shaker terribly.

Hurry up slowly, and finally reach the destination.When he came to the gate of Luo's house, he nuo slapped his head, and then he remembered that the half can of shredded squid that he had promised to leave for the little boss had probably fallen into his stomach.

He hesitated, lingering at the door for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door of Luo's house.

It was Luo Xiang who opened the door.He seemed to have expected Ta Nuo's arrival a long time ago, and there was no trace of surprise on his face.

"Hello—" He Nuo shook the water droplets from his hair and greeted with a smile.He folded his coat a little guilty, and hid the glass jar deeper.

Luo Xiang seemed to have seen through what was going on in Tano's mind, and showed a deceptive expression.

He promised to talk to him, and said, "Are you happy today? Do you want to change your mind?"

Luo Xiang reached out to slam the door, but was stopped by Ta Nuo.He stammered and said, "I recently learned that there is a store that sells something called Tomato Thick Egg. Have you tried it? It's delicious." What he said had no confidence, after all, he had never eaten it himself Thick egg burnt.

Surprisingly, Luo Xiang didn't continue chasing people away.He turned straight back to the house and gave the door to him.He Nuo's eyes lit up, thinking that this was a good opportunity, which meant that the little boss was in a good mood today.He quickly followed Luo Xiang into the house.He just stepped into the living room, and the rain dripped down the trouser legs, smudged on the floor tiles, and formed a small pond.

Luo Pangpang was playing with the little sparrow in the living room. Seeing Tanuo, he took the little sparrow to float to a higher and drier place in disgust.

He Nuo didn't understand, it's an umbrella, what's there to hate the rain.But he still greeted Luo Pangpang in a friendly manner, but of course he didn't get a response.

Luo Xiang randomly flicked the rainwater on the clothes with his hands, the water droplets flew up, and the coat dried instantly.He Nuo was very envious, he lowered his head and twisted his coat.

L.

Luo Xiang frowned, and glanced at Ta Nuo.

He promised to open his mouth and asked, "Are you coming..."

"Don't go."

"Oh." He Nuo lowered his head and continued to fiddle with his coat.

Luo Xian waved his hand, and his coat was also dry.He blinked and let out a cry of surprise.His clothes were no longer wet, he felt much better on his body, and instantly regained his energy.

"You are amazing!" He Nuo exclaimed sincerely.

Luo Xian ignored him.After being silent for a while, Luo Xiang said slowly, "Did you meet any strange people in the city today?"

weirdo?He Nuo raised his head and looked at Luo Xiang curiously.He thought about it seriously, shook his head, and said, "But I encountered something strange, do you want to hear it?"

For the first time, Luo Xiang actually showed some interest.

Encouraged by his promise, he told Luo Xiang about the strange things Mr. Song Shi encountered with embellishment.Unexpectedly, when Luo Xiang heard this, he just nodded without interest, obviously this matter had nothing to do with what he wanted to inquire about.

He Nuo was a little disappointed, scratched his head, and said again: "I promised Mr. Song Shi to help him chase the crows, I plan to go back and ask Grandpa Shu Tutong. By the way, do you know Grandpa Shu Tutong?"

Luo Xiang said, "It's useless to ask that old turtle about this matter."

He Nuo was even more disappointed.He thought that with the direction of his efforts, things would eventually turn around.He thought for a while, and summoned up the courage to ask, "Little boss, can you do anything?"

Luo Xie glanced at Ta Nuo and suddenly smiled.He said, "What do you think?"

He Nuo opened his eyes wide, and replied happily: "You are so powerful, there must be a way, right?"

Luo Xiang didn't speak, just looked at him like that.

He Nuo thought about it in his heart, and promised, "I'll add another can of roasted mussels."

Luo Xiang remained silent, and Ta Nuo stared at him nervously, afraid that he would say no.After the unbearable silence passed, Luo Xiang finally spoke slowly, but he asked an irrelevant question. "Is it a crow?"

He Nuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, it should be the small-billed crow in the city."

Luo Xian pondered: "It's not impossible to let me help you, first of all, you have to be obedient."

He Nuo nodded vigorously, I am super obedient!

Luo Xian glanced at him, "Secondly, the mussels should be garlic-flavored."

He Nuo nodded again.

"Little Boss, you are so amazing!" Tanuo sighed again, "Can you even catch crows?" After all, Ta Nuo is just a sea otter who is not afraid of trees, and catching birds requires agility. He didn't even dare to think about it.

Luo Xiang frowned and said, "What do you think I am?"

He Nuo felt strange, but he replied honestly: "I think you are a powerful human being."

Luo Xian looked at him.

He Nuo felt tremendous pressure.He swallowed, and stammered a few words of praise. "It's a very powerful, hard-working, and good-looking human being. He is upright, upright, unrestrained, handsome, and has an extraordinary bearing." Many of the words were nonsense, and he promised his little brother The boss won't find out.

Luo Xian interrupted him, "Go out."

He went home with a deep and shallow kick.Tomorrow, the little boss will personally go out to catch the bird, and he will definitely succeed.He is full of confidence.
