Chapter 128: snooping news

  Chapter 128 Listening to the news

   Zhou Bai estimated the time it would take to learn how to make cakes, and then asked Booth to pick him up at 6 pm.

  So, after Zhou Bai walked into the restaurant, Buzz left in his car.

   Zhou Bai walked into the shop, and the young shop owner recognized him immediately.

   "Hi sir, do you still sit by the window today?"

  Zhou Bai nodded to him, "Good afternoon, I'll just sit in yesterday's seat."

   It's not time for lunch yet, so Zhou Bai is the only customer in the small shop.

  Zhou Bai walked to the seat by the window and sat down.

  The shop owner came over and handed him a menu.

   Zhou Bai took the menu in his hand, flipped through it casually, and ordered nearly ten items.

  The boss stood aside, holding a small notebook, on which he recorded the dishes Zhou Bai ordered.

  The more you remember, the deeper the smile on your face.

  It seems that he met a big client today.

  After Zhou Bai finished ordering, the boss ran to the kitchen to get busy.

  Since Zhou Bai was the only customer in the store, Zhou Bai's table was quickly filled with delicious food.

   When Zhou Bai ordered all the dishes, 30 minutes had not passed.

  The shop owner put the last dish on Zhou Bai's table, wiped his hands with his apron, and said to Zhou Bai with a smile.

   "Sir, your dishes are all served, please take your time."

   After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and walk back to the counter when Zhou Bai stopped him.

   "Are you busy now? If not, can you sit with me?"

  The owner of the small shop has not met any customers yet, so he made such a request to him.

   Suddenly a little stunned.

  But after looking at the whole table of delicacies he ordered, after thinking about it, he sat down.

   Zhou Bai pushed the extra cup of lemon tea he ordered in front of him, and made a "please" gesture.

   Then he spoke.

  “I just moved to live in this small town, and there are many things I don’t understand.

  So, I want to find a well-informed person to ask some questions. "

  The store owner immediately smiled when he heard Zhou Bai say that.

   Picked up the lemon tea in front of him, took a big sip, and said.

   "Then you are asking the right person.

   I have lived in this small town since I was a child.

   Moreover, my small shop usually has a lot of customers, and I have contact with many people.

  You don’t hesitate to ask, I will tell you what I know. "

   The condition for Zhou Bai to clear the dungeon is to prepare a Christmas Eve party and invite six friends to participate.

   And survived until December 25th, when the first ray of sunlight entered the castle.

  From this customs clearance condition alone, we can know that there must be danger on Christmas Eve.

  The inside of the castle is not very safe. After one night, he finally realized it.

   In addition to that, he needs to invite six friends.

   And these six friends, if they are not selected well, they may also be a source of danger.

   That's why Zhou Bai needed to find a local to learn more about it.

  He recalled the people he met all day yesterday, and then planned to ask about the bakery he was going to go to later.

   "I saw yesterday that in a small town, a bakery was recruiting cake apprentices.

   I don’t know how the owner of this bakery shop is usually like? "

  The owner of the small shop immediately revealed a look of disdain.

   "Forget about that bakery, it's a disgrace to the quiet town.

   It can be called the top profiteer in the small town. "

   Zhou Bai showed a surprised expression, and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

  The shop owner nodded heavily.

   "The boss has a bad mouth and offended many people in the small town.

  He is stingy and caressing about others.

  In this small town, there are not many people who will wait to see him. "

  The owner of the small shop became a little excited when he spoke ill of others.

   took another big sip of lemon tea.

  The cup in front of me suddenly lost half of it.

   Zhou Bai recalled what the owner of the bakery shop did, and felt that it was not unreasonable for him to be unpopular.

   After thinking for a while, he continued to ask.

   "What about the cakes he made? How's the quality?"

   Speaking of this question, the owner of the small shop didn't know much, so he recalled it carefully before saying.

   "I don't know about that.

   It is also rare to see him making cakes. "

  Hearing this, Zhou Bai couldn't help being skeptical about the afternoon cake lesson.

   "By the way, how many candy stores are there in our town?"

"Candy shop?"

  The shop owner frowned.

   "There is only one shop that sells candy. But there are many other shops that sell candy by the way."

  Hearing this, Zhou Bai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  If his neighbors are those 114 graves, then the candy he wants to buy is not just a small amount.

  Based on the price of the candy store yesterday, Zhou Bai's 10,000 gold coins might not be able to buy much candy.

   Fortunately, there are other options.

  The shop owner didn't know Zhou Bai's complicated mental activities at this time, but continued to talk.

   "Are you going to buy candy? Let's eat less candy, it's not healthy."

   Zhou Bai replied casually, "Christmas is almost here, buy some Christmas candies."

  The shop owner smiled after hearing this.

   "Who still buys candy for Christmas now? This custom has long since ceased to be popular in small towns."

  When Zhou Bai heard what the boss said, he was stunned.

   Not right.

  He seemed to have a misunderstanding in his thinking.

  In Article 5 of the Christmas Eve Survival Rules, Zhou Bai is required to distribute Christmas candy to neighbors.

   Zhou Bai took it for granted, thinking that the candies given out at Christmas are called Christmas candies.

  Wherever you go to buy it, or even make it yourself, it can be called Christmas candy.

  However, if this town does not have the custom of giving out candies at Christmas, can these candies still be called Christmas candies?

   Still, what Zhou Bai was really looking for was a candy called "Christmas Candy".

  Thinking of this, Zhou Bai felt a little scared.

   Fortunately, he realized this problem in time.

   Otherwise, Zhou Bai might not even know how he died in the face of so many neighbors' troubles.

   Zhou Bai showed a grateful expression to the shop owner.

  The shop owner didn't know what happened, so he could only show him an awkward smile.

   Zhou Bai sorted out his mood and continued to ask.

  “I was just on my way here when I saw a bald man with a chainsaw in his hand.

  Do you know this person? "

  The shop owner's expression immediately became serious when he heard Zhou Bai mentioning the bald chainsaw man.

   "You saw him on the way here?

  You, don’t you, live in that old castle? "

  Seeing the sudden change in the expression of the owner of the small shop, Zhou Bai felt his heart pounding.

   I don't know what kind of grievances this old castle has with this small town.

   This made him a little embarrassed.

   Should he answer yes, or, no?
