The man was quite tall, about 1.8 meters, but his body was as thin as a boiled chicken. He walked to the inn, took off the bag on his back, and unwrapped the cloth that was wrapped around himself.
The cloth could help people block the sand that was blown by the wind in the desert. As the gauze was unwrapped, a layer of fine sand instantly piled up on the ground.
Jiujiu, who had worked hard for most of the day to clean the inn, almost cursed out loud.
She was the only one who cleaned such a big inn. This bastard, did he know how long it took her to clean the inn? He actually dared to put sand in the inn. It was simply too much.
Jiujiu, who was already preparing to cook, rushed over like an angry bird. She glared at the man and asked, "100 taels for a room. How many nights do you want to stay?"
The man, who was cleaning himself, instantly froze. He looked at Jiujiu in disbelief. His lips moved, but in the end, he stubbornly said, "Boss, isn't this a bit too expensive?"
Even the best inns in the capital didn't cost 100 taels for a night. How was this a room? It was clearly daylight robbery.
Jiujiu glanced at the pile of sand under the man's feet and snorted coldly, "Did you not see the name of the inn before you came in?"
The man asked in shock, "Does the name have anything to do with this?"
Could it be that the name of the inn had another meaning, so the accommodation fee was so expensive?
Jiujiu sneered, "Of course it has something to do with it."
Because the name of the inn was Black Inn.
Black Inn, Black Inn, wasn't it daylight robbery?
The man walked out of the door with a puzzled look on his face. When he saw the signboard with the words' Shady Inn 'written on it, he started to doubt his life. Especially when he looked at Jiujiu, his eyes were red and dazed.
The man's lips moved. He wanted to say that Jiujiu's fee was too expensive, but when the words came to his mouth, he thought of the words' Black Inn 'on the signboard. The man's mouth twitched and said, "Then I won't stay, but I can eat, right?"
"Fifty taels of silver per meal. What would you like to eat, sir?"
The man's face, which had just eased up, turned red in an instant.
Fifty taels of silver for a meal? Why don't you go rob a bank instead?
The embarrassed man took another step back. "Lady Boss, I don't want to eat anymore. Can you give me a sip of water?"
Jiujiu coldly humphed and said, "Ten taels of silver for drinking water. Give me the money first, then the water."
This time, the man's face instantly turned black.
Although it was said that water resources in the desert were precious, it wasn't precious to the point of ten taels of silver.
Jiujiu's inn was at the very edge of the desert, and it would take at least half a day to walk back. If he walked further in, it would be a vast and boundless desert. For a moment, the man did not know whether he should advance or retreat.
Moving forward, Jiujiu's charges were too expensive, but the man was unwilling to retreat.
The man, who was in a dilemma, had a faint awkwardness on his face.
Jiujiu coldly humphed at the man's reaction. She spat out two words with a look of disdain. "Poor bastard."
He dared to put sand in her inn without money. He really ate a bear's heart and leopard's guts.
Jiujiu rolled her eyes at the man and walked towards the kitchen.
Looking at Jiujiu's back, the man opened his mouth. He wanted to stop Jiujiu, but because he had no money, he was too embarrassed to speak.
Seeing that the man was speechless from Jiujiu's words, the men who were eating and drinking laughed and said, "Brother, don't mind her. Little Jiu's temper is like this. You'll get used to it."
Man: "…"
What did they mean by getting used to it?
Looking at those people who were used to it, the man felt that his worldview had collapsed. Shouldn't business be based on harmony? Why did they want customers to get used to the boss's temper?
The man couldn't bear to go out. After all, it was going to be dark soon. At night, even if he could endure the cold, he might still encounter desert wolves. If he encountered a group of desert wolves who ate people without spitting out the bones, he would definitely be in a hopeless situation.
The man could only bite the bullet and stay.
Jiujiu ate some noodles for herself and came back. When she saw the man standing there, she frowned and scolded sternly, "Why haven't you left yet?"
He dared to stay in a black inn without money. Wasn't he afraid that she would kill him and make him into a human meat bun?
The man, who had been scolded like this for the first time, blushed. He looked at Jiujiu and pleaded, "Lady Boss, can you be kind and give me a glass of water?"
From the man's ugly expression, Jiujiu could tell that the man really didn't have money. However, she didn't expect that he would still ask for water after knowing that this was a black inn.
Jiujiu didn't know whether to say that the man was naive and kind or had commendable courage.
Jiujiu sneered and said, "This is the desert. Water is more valuable than food. Besides, this is a black inn. Why should I give you a glass of water for free?"
After being ridiculed by Jiujiu, the man's face turned blue and white. After a while, he forced himself to say to Jiujiu, "How about I put it on credit?"
Jiujiu felt that she was about to be laughed to death by this man.
After knowing that this was a black inn, he tried to reason with her, but when he couldn't reason with her, he even wanted to put it on credit.
Based on this, Jiujiu felt that this man was not commendable for courage, but simply silly and sweet.
Jiujiu didn't want to continue to talk to this silly and sweet man. She directly scolded, "This is a black inn. If you have money to eat, then get out. Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
What was the difference between talking to the boss of a black inn and asking to borrow money from the boss of a bandit? Dream on!
Just as Jiujiu finished speaking, a deep and magnetic voice sounded from outside the inn. "Miss, why are you so irritable? I'll give this young master his money."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiujiu saw a familiar yet unfamiliar man whom Xiao Hua loved to the core yet hated to the core. It was Bai Tianye.
In the desert, everyone was wearing coarse clothes that covered themselves tightly to block the sand that was blown into their faces by the wind.
However, Bai Tianye was different. He was dressed in white, and his hair was only fixed with a jade hairpin. The way he held a long sword in his hand was even more unparalleled.
No wonder Xiao Hua fell in love with Bai Tianye at first sight. He indeed had the ability to make women fall in love with him at first sight.
However, it wasn't his fault that he was born with a good face. However, using this face to seduce, deceive, and scheme against women was his fault.
Even though Bai Tianye's smiling face was full of charm, in Jiujiu's eyes, Bai Tianye was no different from the weeds by the roadside.
Oh, if there wasn't a difference, it would be that the weeds could feed the goats, but Bai Tianye would only make the goats vomit.
