Chapter 68 As the name suggests, the folk houses are the homes of common people. If there are enough rooms in their homes, they can be rented out. The advantage is that the price is cheap, and it only costs a few shells to stay for a the inns are expensive, each room is very large. Some even have small spaces within the rooms, the size of which is far beyond that of private houses. But it also has disadvantages, at least in terms of price, ranging from ten to one hundred yuan a night, which is several times more expensive than a private house! Jiang Yuan thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties. We can't really let Big Cat sleep outside alone, right? If that's the case, then she... After making up her mind, she thought about sleeping outside the house with Big Cat! But Rabbit Man changed his position from leaning against the wooden stake and suddenly said to Mrs. Raccoon, "Madam, do you have a larger cloth? The kind that can be spread on the ground?" "Yes, there is." Mrs. Raccoon had just finished speaking when she suddenly guessed the Rabbit Man's method and said, "You mean..." Seeing Rabbit Man nod, she quickly said, "I'll look for it, you guys go eat first." After saying this, she shouted into the house again: "Lao Yin, you take care of it." "Got it!" Uncle Raccoon had just lit up all the lanterns inside and outside. After hearing what Mrs. Raccoon said, he quickly responded, then walked up to Jiang Yuan and the others and said, "The food is getting cold, let's go over and eat first!" "But my aunt..." Jiang Yuan was guessing what Rabbit Man was thinking. Upon hearing this, she quickly pointed in the direction where Mrs. Raccoon left. Her meaning was self-evident. Uncle Raccoon waved his paw and said, "Don't worry about it, she will be here soon."
As he said this, he led the way... Rabbit Man came up to Jiang Yuan and whispered, "Just follow the master's arrangements." Jiang Yuan thought it made sense, so he and Rabbit Man followed Uncle Raccoon's steps, and before leaving, he did not forget to call Big Cat... Tonight, perhaps there are guests coming, Mrs. Raccoon prepared a very rich meal, including steamed fish, fried nuts, boiled carrots, egg pancakes, ginseng stewed chicken soup, and... Jiang Yuan looked at the plate of fried grasshoppers and roasted dragonflies on the table and couldn't help but twitch his lips. The plate of steamed fish was very big, and looked to be about five pounds. Uncle Raccoon cut it into two, put it on another clean plate, then stood up and walked to the big cat outside the house. Seeing Da Miao squatting on the ground, he placed the plate on the high platform so that he could eat the fish without having to bend his head too much, and said, "Try my wife's cooking." Big Cat thanked him politely and waited for him to turn around and go into the house before walking closer. He first sniffed the fish on the plate and then licked it tentatively with his tongue. Then his eyes lit up and he lowered his head slightly to eat with relish. After returning to the house, Uncle Raccoon served Jiang Yuan and Rabbit Man a bowl of egg fried rice each, saying, "It's just a simple meal, barely edible, don't mind it." Jiang Yuan looked at the sumptuous meal on the table and shook his head, saying, "This is the most sumptuous meal I have ever seen." It was so rich that she felt like it was her last meal... Although he served rice to Jiang Yuan and Rabbit Man, Uncle Raccoon did not eat himself. He held a pair of clean chopsticks in his paws and picked up food for them. Jiang Yuan and Rabbit Man looked at each other, feeling at a loss for words. Jiang Yuan carefully chose his words and asked, "Uncle, don't you want to eat?" "You guys eat first, I'll wait for my wife." Uncle Raccoon said as he glanced in the direction of the next room. Jiang Yuan felt that it was not right to pick up her chopsticks, nor was it right not to pick up her chopsticks. Just when she was in a dilemma, a sudden idea flashed in her mind and she asked, "I saw a noodle cart outside the house. Uncle, are you doing noodle business?" Although she was young, she knew how to treat guests: they were the guests, and it was not right for them to eat before the host sat down at the table. So I can only ask some questions and delay the time! Rabbit Hero looked at Jiang Yuan with admiration in his eyes. "Yeah, come to think of it, my wife and I met because of the noodle stall!" When he said this, Uncle Raccoon's eyes were full of nostalgia. But just when Jiang Yuan thought he would tell her how he and Mrs. Raccoon met, and was about to listen, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Not only my wife, but even the palace mistress often comes here. Whenever she leaves the palace, she will come to my stall to eat a bowl of noodles... It's a pity that I'm out of flour today, otherwise I should let you taste it." Uncle Raccoon originally wanted to express that his noodle stall business was good, but Jiang Yuan and Rabbit Man heard another meaning.
Rabbit Man thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, are you familiar with the Palace Master?" Seeing Uncle Raccoon nod, he asked again: "What kind of demon is the Palace Master? If we see her, what should we pay attention to?" "The Palace Master is a demon. She is kind and generous, gentle and friendly. She treats all the demons in Moon Bay like her own children. She is powerful and knows how to use demons. She is the youngest manager in the history of Moon Bay, and is also the most respected and beloved manager by everyone." Uncle Raccoon stroked the short beard on his chin. He spoke highly of the Palace Master. Thinking of the question that Rabbit Man asked later, he added, "If you see the Palace Master, you should be gentle. Although the Palace Master is kind, she cannot bear any insults." Jiang Yuan seemed to understand, and asked, "At what level of words is considered cursing?" "Any insulting or derogatory words count." Although Uncle Raccoon did not pick up his chopsticks, he poured himself a glass of water. After saying this, he drank the water beside him. At this time, there was a rustling sound in the corridor outside the house, as if something was being dragged away, followed by Mrs. Raccoon's voice: "I found it." Upon hearing this, Uncle Raccoon immediately stood up and hurriedly said to Jiang Yuan and Rabbit Man, "I'll go and take a look, you guys stay," and ran to the corridor outside the house. Only Jiang Yuan and Rabbit Man were left sitting at the dinner table, one holding his chin and the other leaning against the wall. After looking at each other, they both sighed. On the corridor outside the house, Mrs. Raccoon was walking forward with a roll of gray cloth on her shoulder. Uncle Raccoon saw this and hurried forward to take it and asked, "Where is this?" "Put it in the backyard and spread it out. It's for the big cat to sleep on." Fortunately, there is a room connected to the backyard, so even if the big cat sleeps in the backyard, Jiang Yuan can watch it in the room. Spreading the cloth on the open space in the backyard, Uncle Raccoon wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with emotion: "If I had known it would be so hard, I would have collected two more shells." Mrs. Raccoon was quite amused and helpless when she heard this! After finishing this matter, they returned to the dining room. Fortunately, it was summer, so although the food was not that hot, it was not completely cold either. After eating and drinking, Jiang Yuan and Rabbit Man simply washed up and returned to the room arranged for them by the raccoon couple. When Jiang Yuan came into the room, she found that she was only one door away from Da Mao, and she instantly felt a lot more at ease. She opened the door, went to the backyard, chatted with the big cat for a while, and when she left, she took five shells from its bag. After returning to the room, she hid the five shells under her pillow, thinking: If she gave them directly, the raccoon couple would definitely not accept them. But if she just hid them like this, when they were far away tomorrow morning and Aunt Raccoon was cleaning the room, she would have no choice but to accept them! Thinking that he would have to go to the bamboo forest to meet Mao Kui tomorrow, Jiang Yuan felt that he was full of energy and had no desire to sleep, but he still closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep...
