Chapter 144: A Straight Man Gift from Pei Shuo (Part I)
Recently, something happened in the capital, and Pei Shuo, the demon king of the Founding Marquis Mansion, actually sat obediently in an unknown shop.
However, the capital is large, the population is large, and only a few people have seen Pei Shuo, most of whom are listening to gossip, from hearsay, from the image of the snake artist on the street, the brain makes up a fierce image of a tiger with a bear waist, a python wrapped around his waist, and a "green dragon" on the left and a "white tiger" on the right.
It is said that after returning from the army, his temperament has changed greatly, and he is so stubborn that even the children of the capital do not dare to play with him, for fear that one day he will become the ration of his beast pet or beat people to death if he does not agree. If a person dies, he will die, and his life matters.
The people were always curious about the lives of the children of the upper class, and used Pei Shuo as an example: "If you want to cry again, Pei Shuo will say that if he hears it, he will take you to feed his pet snake and eat it!" or "If you don't study well, you will grow up to be Pei Shuo's kind of person." ”
Of course, the latter's words will make children wonder: Pei Shuo is that kind of person, but Pei Shuo's brother is so majestic, why is it not good?
Pei Shuo heard these words, and he scoffed at them before, but now he regrets it, he can't wait to bury himself as a quail, and he can't wait to go back in time, he hasn't done those ridiculous things, and he hasn't slipped a snake past A-Yao.
Feeling touched by the reunion?
Pei Shuo: A-Yao seems to be very angry, and she doesn't dare to move.
As soon as Mo Xingle stepped into Sun Niang's foot shop, he saw the "well-behaved" Pei Shuo, which was very strange, but he didn't expect that the founding marquis mansion was not afraid of heaven and earth, and the eldest son who played tiger and snake also had a scared day, and this matter could be taken to blow a day with Dali Siqing and Lord Yin.
The master bookkeeper also recognized the only customer in the store, and quickly took it back when he stepped inside. How did the Demon King of the Mixed World come to such a small shop!
He once had a relationship with Pei Shuo - in the official office of the capital mansion, at the beginning he saw this young man like a pine and upright, and he had a good impression at the first time, if you want to describe this young man, there is no more suitable for him than the moon rhyme and the breeze and the moon.
The victim is a gentleman in the capital, relying on the money in his family, he has a lot of flirting with folk girls, he stands with Pei Shuo, it is a stark contrast between the bully and the immortal, I thought it was the bully who teased the immortal, but the result was that the bully said that they had some different concepts and did not talk about it, so Pei Shuo let the snake bite him. As he was talking, Pei Shuo's sleeve suddenly moved, and in the frightened eyes of the bully, the snake poked its head out of its sleeve as if it was human, and spit out the letter.
The handsome and elegant immortal suddenly turned black and turned into an evil poisonous snake, this gap is too big for the master to accept.
Mo Xingle is such a smart person who can make Pei Shuo so well-behaved, just because there is someone who can contain him, Sun Niang's foot shop is all due to the new chef Yao Zhu. Heck, it's a really small world.
"Boss, what's delicious today?"
Mo Xingle sat down at a table next to Pei Shuo and beckoned the master to sit down quickly.
The main book grinded, picked a position farthest away from Pei Shuo and sat down, not daring to peek at him, God knows if the snake was hidden in a straight shirt embroidered with a bamboo shadow under the moon, that being said, the master book secretly glanced at it again, the straight shirt is similar to the ethereal color, and the color is lighter than the secret color, it looks well-behaved and harmless, the young man's body is really tougher than them, the sky is cloudy outside, the cold wind is gusting, he only wears one or two pieces and fights.
"Today it's pork belly chicken and dumplings. It's unfortunate that you came, the first batch of pork belly chicken has been sold out, and the second batch of conpoy was only made half an hour ago, and it is still stewed on the stove. The proprietress said.
At the end of the restaurant street, the Goolan tile house has a new play, and the diners take advantage of the stew time to go to watch the show, and then come back to eat pork belly chicken to drive away the cold, which is why the store is deserted today.
"It's okay, I'll wait here. Is the conpoy still busy in the kitchen?"
"Bring me a dumpling. The master said weakly.
Listening to Mo Xingle's familiar tone, Pei Shuo, who was sitting upright, moved and glanced at it.
"Yo roar, Pei Gongzi is clever, you also come to eat pork belly chicken?" Mo Xingle seemed to have just noticed Pei Shuo, and simply moved his position, just about to hook his shoulders and call him brother, but before he put his hand down, Pei Shuo's eyes had arrived, and he also remembered that Pei Shuo's sleeve was "very good", and he smiled and said drink tea and tea.
Pei Shuo's lips moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
Ah Yao brought the dumplings to the master book, turned around and glanced at Pei Shuo.
Pei Shuo: Well-behaved.jpg
Wearing a straight jacket on a cold day, he is really a fool, and he is not afraid of cold and high fever. Ah Yao slandered, after all, she was reluctant, and said dryly: "Don't put on your coat, do you really treat yourself as a big white goose, with feathers to keep warm in winter?"
“……”
“……”
Mo Xingle and the master book were stunned, the latter shrank his head even more, lowering his sense of existence, this girl is really bold, dare to provoke the demon king of the world, hasn't she heard of Pei Shuo raising snakes, and if she doesn't agree with her, she will let the snake bite people?
Pei Shuo was stunned, and she went back to the kitchen and brought another bowl of tea with a strong ginger flavor.
For a moment, Pei Shuo smiled, as silly as Samoyed looked back and smiled. "A-Yao!"
Mo Xingle couldn't bear to look at it directly, so he turned over and snickered.
"Yao, what Yao, give me a drink, wrap it thicker. Ah Yao was fierce, smelling the fragrance of pork belly chicken and peppercorns from the kitchen, and under the pretext of watching the fire, her back seemed to be empty and fled.
Pei Shuo was as good as a stream, wrapped in a silver rat gray robe.
He has practiced martial arts for many years, his blood is full of vitality and passes through his body, and he is like a small stove in winter, and he doesn't feel cold when he only wears underwear and straight clothes. Putting on his coat and exhaling a breath of white air, Pei Shuo was both happy and disappointed, glad that Ah Yao didn't find out about his bitter plan, but what was lost was that they didn't touch, and Ah Yao was still angry.
"Wonderful. Mo Xingle smiled in his eyes and leaned closer: "Pei Gongzi's bitter trick is much higher than the scholar's conversation in "Suxiang Pavilion". ”
He was about to get closer, Pei Shuo raised the folding fan in his hand and stopped between him and Mo Xingle: "Be careful when you speak, I'm not as good as that person." ”
There was a flow of the folding fan, Mo Xingle looked at it, had to retreat, and said with a smile: "I often hear Pei Gongzi raising snakes, and when I see it today, this snake ...... It's very spiritual. ”
It turned out that it was a snow-white little snake, only the thickness of a finger, Mo Xingle was stared at by it and panicked, to the left, the snake also went to the left, he went to the right, the snake also went to the right, the little snake stood up, and looked at Mo Xingle unrelentingly, as if in ...... Ask for compliments.
Mo Xingle scratched his head and said tentatively: "You are beautiful, there is no second snake like you in the world." ”
The little snake swam back into Pei Shuo's sleeve with satisfaction.
Mo Xingle relaxed, only to feel that his back was cold, and at the moment when the snake came out, he was really frightened, and it didn't seem to be particularly scary when he looked at the snake carefully, could it be a rumor?
Pei Shuo, who saw what he was thinking, said: "Master Mo, you have a relationship with my snake, and there is a python in my family, why don't I bring it to you next time?"
“……”
Mo Xingle's scalp was numb, and he stayed away from him.
Driving away the annoying uncle, Pei Shuo continued to be Wangyaoshi.
The proprietress lifted the curtain and walked into the kitchen, and Ah Yao tasted the taste of pork belly chicken soup, and this batch was ready. "Boss, what's the matter with you?"
"Do you have an old relationship with those two sons outside?"
"Hmm. Ah Yao lowered her eyes, "Count it up, both of you have a life-saving grace for me, and they won't disturb the business of the store." ”
The proprietress waved her hand, revealing a look of embarrassment: "I wish they had sat a little longer, so as not to look deserted and the guests outside dare not come in." But can you talk to the little boy in the light blue robe and ask him to pay a little attention...... He was carrying a snake, counting the time "Suxiang Pavilion" was almost over, in case other guests saw his snake...... How bad. ”
Snake?
Pei Shuo is really bold enough.
No, isn't the snake hibernating at this time? Where did he hide the snake, and he wants to play out the story of the farmer and the snake?
Ah Yao's thoughts turned a few times and nodded: "I'll send the pork belly chicken over, by the way, the proprietress will wait, when the store closes, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”
"Okay. ”
Pei Shuo was not happy.
Mo Xingle and Ah Yao had a good conversation, when did they become so familiar, Pei Shuo blurted out: "I also want pork belly chicken!"
"Today's orders have been exhausted, and this batch will no longer be available after it is sold. A-Yao replied: "You discuss it with Brother Mo, I think you should also know each other...... By the way, don't scare him. ”
“???”
Grievance!
Pei Shuo was depressed, didn't want to see the two of them again, and left with his sleeves brushed up. He prepared a stomach of words for Ah Yao, he was so angry that he didn't want to speak, he walked aimlessly on the street, pedestrians came and went in a hurry, the cold wind blew his face, he slowly calmed down, secretly annoyed that he would just throw his face and do what he was doing when he left, what kind of strength did he have with Mo Xingle, he was about to stand up, Ah Yao would not look down on a person who was too different in age from her, most likely Mo Xingle helped her in Nanxun.
Mo Xingle is good at investigating cases, is Ayao in trouble in Nanxun?
The little white snake wrapped around Pei Shuo's wrist, he lowered his head and stroked it, at this moment, the Lingtai was especially clear, he was forced to return to the capital to recuperate after the Battle of Yanmen, and what happened to Nanxun in the two years when the letter was broken.
……
The second batch of pork belly chicken will be sold soon after, the proprietress is still asking diners to make a deposit, leaving the number of people to eat, and come to eat again tomorrow, pork belly chicken is now only out of 40 pots a day at most, which can be said to be in short supply.
After closing, the proprietress crackled the abacus, just as she was in the mood of excitement now.
"Earned, earned, earned. "The hostess ecstasy.
In order to take care of her two children, she only cooks breakfast and brunch, and closes in the afternoon when the sun is right. At the beginning, she had no money on hand, and she borrowed debts from relatives and friends in the neighborhood, recruiting Ayao, just because she was young, and it didn't take much to pay her a salary, so she prepared for the worst at that time, deducting the store rent, material costs, and wages, and she could earn 200 wen a day, and she and her children could also tighten their belts to live.
Unexpectedly, Ah Yao is young, but her ability is not small, and she has made the Sun Niang's foot shop left by her husband thriving.
She calculated that after A-Yao's arrival, she received at least seven or eight hundred yuan per day, the sesame oil chicken noodle soup was launched to 1,000 yuan, and the pork belly chicken and cross-bridge rice noodles were pushed out on the third day!
It's been a long time since I've seen so much money, and Sun Niang burst into tears.
She's recruited a beckoning cat!
Pork belly chicken seems to use a lot of materials, but the pork in Beijing is not valuable, the most expensive pork is 120 wen a catty, these days the price of pork has fallen to 70 or 80 wen a catty, pork bones 30 wen per catty...... If you compare the price of mutton with the current fish price in the capital, you can see it at a glance: mutton is 500 wen a catty, and the fish from the fish market comes from afar, and the delicious fish is worth a few dollars, and the fish caught from the river outside the capital is also around 100 wen per catty.
Really speaking, small hens and big fan chickens cost more money than pork, so A-Yao's pricing is not ambiguous at all, 49 yuan for one serving of pork belly chicken, and 150 yuan for a normal amount of pork belly chicken for three to four people.
"What do you want to say?" asked the proprietress again, and then probed, "Is it about wages?" Now that the business in the store is good, I can give you processing money. ”
Ah Yao shook her head and suggested, "Boss, it's better for you to use this money to hire a small worker to help me wash the vegetables and dishes." ”
These days, A-Yao is tired enough to choke, from washing pork belly, washing side dishes, lighting the fire, cooking, passing dishes, running the hall, washing dishes and cleaning up, all of them are all done by herself. The business in the store was not good before, and she was mainly responsible for lunch, there were not many dishes and chopsticks, and there were not many side dishes, so she had no complaints.
Now that the number of customers is proliferating, more and more diners are ordering pork belly chicken, and she is starting to be overwhelmed, and repeatedly rinsing the pork belly with cold water in the winter is the first torture, and when they finish eating, washing the casserole clay pot with warm water is the second torture.
After a few days, the skin of my hands has cracked, and it doesn't hurt now, but it will be difficult to say in a few more days.
The suggestion she made her to death, and A-Yao had to discuss with the boss to recruit another person, and the workload was too much for her to be busy.
"This ......," the proprietress hesitated, "I have to think about it." ”
Ah Yao persuaded: "In the past, the business in the store was not good, and I was enough to deal with it alone, but now the business is improving, there are more customers, there are many eyes, whether the dishes are clean or not, whether the dishes are good or not, and the price will become whether they will become fixed diners, and whether they are willing to bring relatives and friends to eat." Once they find that the dishes and chopsticks have oil splashes and the dishes have a strange smell, they are reluctant to come back. You said earlier that you wish I could make more pots of pork belly chicken, but I only have one pair of hands, and I have the same twelve hours as everyone else, and I don't have enough energy to help me. ”
The proprietress fell into deep thought, and Ah Yao didn't bother anymore when she saw this, so she went home first.
……
Pei Shuo called Sun Peng, Ming Zhong, and Hui Sheng, and the three of them were at a loss, constantly communicating their inner thoughts with their eyes, not knowing how this demon king of the mixed world rose up and called them.
Their father and the founding marquis are colleagues, and they can't play together, since Pei Shuo returned to Beijing from the army...... Not to play a piece. In the past, they ate, drank, played, and played, Pei Shuo couldn't look down on it, and now they are still eating, drinking, playing, fighting, cricket, and cockfighting, but he has raised pythons to watch tigers and leopards, and it is said that when they rose, they also let people perform Wu Song fighting tigers, how terrible!
The realm is never on the same level.
"You have a lot of experience, how can you please a girl?"
After a while, Sun Peng and the other three became more and more frightened, as soon as he opened his mouth, the three of them immediately hugged and cried and fainted in place, and when they heard the question clearly, they stood up with a whoosh, and nothing happened: "Please the girl, of course you are coaxing her!"
Pei Shuo: "How to coax?"
"Give her a special gift. ”
"Write poems for her, and then let the officials sing them, so that the whole capital, and the girls know your talent. ”
"You have to be talented, right?"
Pei Shuo...... Will it work?
For fear that Pei Shuo would not be happy to let the snake bite them, Hui Sheng hurriedly added: "It's better to give a gift, either give her what she needs the most, or the most special, so that she can think of you when she sees the gift, don't give money, the girl will be angry." ”
