"Give me a braised pork ribs, a secret sea bass, a stir-fried vegetables with sauce, and two bowls of rice, that's all."

"Okay! You are slow to sit down. The young one will let the kitchen serve you immediately."

"Thank you, be kind."

In the crowded restaurant, the lean waiter looked up at the three distinguished guests behind the table and gave a diligent smile.

Although the three distinguished guests behind this table looked neither rich nor vicious—in fact, in the eyes of others, they were just an ordinary family of three.

But I heard the eight directions and looked at the sixth road, and the waiter who was most well-informed in neighborhoods on weekdays was aware of the charming beauty sitting next to the little girl Shuiling, but in Pingshui County, this is the shopkeeper with the number one golden signboard in the catering industry.

This morning, I did hear that the famous "Rongli Restaurant" was closed for one day, but no matter how smart the waiter was, he could not guess that she would visit her own restaurant without much fame.

How dare you neglect?

Don't dare!

The waiter glanced at the male shopkeeper who was angry with a scholarly scroll behind the counter. He walked over happily. He was about to say a few flattering words when he suddenly stared at him: "Why don't you go to the kitchen to give instructions!"

The waiter who was inexplicably scolded was not angry, but instead was willing to beat him and smiled "hehe" and ran to the kitchen happily. Only the shopkeeper who tried to dress himself up was as beautiful as a jade tree, staring at the charming beauty with a thin fan in his hand, and staring at the white shirt with murderous eyes from time to time.

The Hongli Pavilion is full of seats, and how can it have nothing to do with her beautiful and kind heart?

Bai Xiucai felt a little chilled in his spine.

When Bai Xiucai walked into the store just now, he felt a little chilling on his back.

Although from this morning, he had noticed the envy and jealousy in the eyes of passers-by on the street; before a stick of incense, in the clothing store of Tailor Liu, he understood the meaning of acquaintances from neighbors; but at this moment, he was truly and felt a chill similar to "I wish I could kill him and then hurry up."

He looked at the male shopkeeper behind the account with some guilt, and immediately moved back to his sight.

Bai Xiucai has heard of it. He said that the male shopkeeper was born and raised by Pingshui County and had been childhood sweethearts with the shopkeeper since he was a child. He thought he was going to take the way of getting married, but he didn't expect that a "Pingshui Hero" came out halfway and kidnapped her away. The male shopkeeper who was annoyed in his chest wanted to go and argue, but for no reason was pressed down by a few guys wearing black cloth and wearing brocade clothes. Then he felt ashamed and silent.

Later, he suddenly learned that the Nine Five Lord was taken back to his hometown by his father, and the male shopkeeper's heart was ignited again. But who could have expected that the sparks in her heart would last for a long time. In order to wait for that person, he opened a restaurant by himself, named it "Hongli Guan", and made a "Leap Dragon Gate". He did not admit defeat, and also learned from her to open a restaurant by her, named it "Chi Zhongtang", as if she was saying that she was her true life. Finally, she looked at the gate of the county town every day a few years ago, and turned into a distance from the door of the store, and then she no longer looked at it. He thought that his opportunity had come.

Then, a white shirt came to the world like a heavenly soldier.

I'm so angry, why don't I be angry?

He was already thirty-seven or eight years old, like a child who had been stolen from his candy, and wanted to point at God and roll on. But God didn't think much about it except to rain on him.

I can't let go, I can't bear to give up, and I can't beat it.

I can only stare at you like this.

Bai Xiucai smiled bitterly and sighed softly.

The shopkeeper looked up and said softly: "We'll go to the tailor shop in Yun'an City to have a look."

Bai Xiucai was slightly stunned and waved his hand quickly, "It's okay. Since he agreed to take Xiaoli to Fenglin Street in the east of the city to play in the afternoon, he can't go back on his promise."

"Then your clothes"

"It's okay, I'll wait for Tailor Liu to purchase the goods in two days before going there."

Looking at the cheerful little girl who was humming nursery rhymes while swinging her legs, Bai Xiucai smiled slightly.

Seeing his decision, the shopkeeper did not discuss it any more.

It was a strange thing. When they went to Tailor Liu on the corner of the street together this morning to buy cloth and custom-made autumn clothes, they should have been the most stock of white cloth in the tailor's store, but there was no one left. Asked about the reason, Tailor Liu only said that someone came to buy them all two days ago, and before they could buy the goods, they asked them to wait for two more days. But if they waited for two days, maybe the white scholar would leave all the broken silver in the Yanyuan courtyard again.

The shopkeeper sighed lightly, shook the thin fan in his hand, and looked at the man in white in front of him, with a soft look.

She actually thanked him very much.

It was not just because he, as the accountant, calculated the original confusing accounts of Hongli Pavilion clearly; it was not just because he was kind and carefully taught Xiaoli who refused to go to a private school to read and write, and even made plans.

He looks quite like that person.

The one who has never looked back after entering the dragon gate.

The shopkeeper lowered his head slightly and looked at the cup of steaming green light tea on the table. The water surface in the cup reflected a beautiful face that was only light-painted like a mirror. Ordinary people only think that the tea is very beautiful, but she knows that the tea tastes so good and bitter.

Three years ago, her white shirt was covered with dust and wandered around the corner of the street like a walking corpse. She couldn't bear it and invited her to rest and eat without paying the price with silver. She only had to do one or two days of work. He nodded, as if he was answering, but his face was cold and without joy and pleasure - like an empty body with a dead soul. She wondered, and wanted to ask the reason, but she didn't know where to speak. Fortunately, the waiter in the store was clever and intelligent, and took him to the Manyan Garden, who was well-known for his familiarity with human feelings. She thought this was just a bad idea, but she didn't expect that when he returned to the store at midnight, he seemed to have changed, and his words and laughter were natural and appropriate, not as if he had the zombie before.

Later, she learned from the neighbors that he was a poor man who escaped from the north. His hometown village was razed to the ground by the military barbarians. All the familiar people were in different places and had their heads and heads. He was wronged and fell into the underworld. He was just a poor scholar. That day in Manyan Courtyard, he unexpectedly met Qingmei, a fellow villager who had been separated for many years, and had the meaning of living a good life. So she never stopped him from going to Manyan Courtyard, and every time she learned that he had left all his weekly wages there, she could only blame him softly.

But when he washed his white shirt, she felt that his story seemed much more than what the neighbors said. Once, the neighbors caught a thief, but he, who should not have intervened the most, caught up with the flying thief who ran as fast as a rabbit. A few days ago, the inn was causing trouble, and he caught the fist of the young master Peiyu and the strong lieutenant. Someone even said that when he saw him talking and laughing at the ordinary poor scholar, how could he be on par with the lieutenant who was actually the lord of a county?

She was once a ranger, so it is obvious that his skills are definitely not something that a scholar can do.

However, even though she saw so many clues, she never asked about his identity in detail.

It’s not that she is not interested, but there is always a bump in her heart: when she thoroughly asks about his identity, that is, when he leaves the Hongli Pavilion.

When we meet by chance, why do we need to dig into the bottom line?

She probably didn't want him to leave.

She probably liked him very much.

"It's the food!"

The waiter holding the late-trade tray stepped quickly and placed the steaming secret bass steadily on the table.

Bai Xiucai thanked the waiter, picked up a piece of fish with bamboo chopsticks and put it into his mouth, and immediately showed surprise: "This taste may be more delicious than Yuelongmen."

"Hey? Really, is it true?"

Little Buddian stepped forward and looked at the plate of secret bass curiously.

Bai Xiucai nodded confidently and said, "Take it, Brother Bai won't lie to you."

"Then let's feed me~" Xiaoli said coquettishly, "I always say that Xiaoli has grown up. Brother Bai hasn't fed me for a long time!"

Bai Xiucai smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, just once today."

He changed into a pair of clean bamboo chopsticks, picked up a small piece of fish, and sent it to Xiao Budian's mouth.

Xiao Budian ate it in one bite, then widened his eyes, full of surprise: "Hey! It's really delicious than Yuelongmen! I want it even more!"

The shopkeeper put down the thin fan and glanced at the delicious food of Yuelongmen with a little suspicious look: "Take it serious?"

Bai Xiucai nodded, subconsciously picked up a small piece of fish and sent it to her: "You can try it."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood there in a daze.

Her slender fingers gently lifted the black hair on her cheeks, and she leaned forward slightly, holding the fish on the bamboo chopsticks.

This scene is beautiful.

After it looks good, the chill on the back becomes murderous intent.

Bai Xiucai shivered, hurriedly took back his chopsticks and buried his head in drinking tea.

She chewed carefully and smiled slightly.
