Chapter 46: A Casual Encounter (continued)
"Haha, girl, you have come to the right place! If you want to say that other small shops don't dare to talk about extravagance, if it is food, it can be regarded as the only one in Shengzhou City! Not only Shengzhou, but also looking at Datang, you can't find a better place to go than this!" said the woman in red with a hint of pride.
The girl looked at the woman in red, and then clapped her hands and said, "Ah! I remember! What kind of mother-in-law do you call selling melons...... "I thought about it, but I was confused again: "What is it......?"
"Hey, Senior Brother, what do you say in the second half of the sentence?" Ling'er hurriedly poked Senior Brother Ma beside her and muttered in a low voice.
"Haha!" The woman in red was amused by the girl's cute appearance: "It's the princess who sells melons and boasts." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, that's it!" the girl reacted immediately.
"Haha, girl, sister, I'm not boasting, I'm telling the truth!" the woman in red then laughed.
The girl tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Don't you all say that?"
"Haha, good, good! Today, if there is something in the small shop, you can eat as much as you want, and you don't need money!" said the woman in red boldly.
"Are you serious?" the girl was a little incredulous.
"Of course, I'll have the final say!" said the girl in red proudly.
"Okay!"
Then, the girl ran into the store in a hurry, and Senior Brother Ma had no choice but to follow in.
The two of them didn't look up until they walked into the store, and they didn't look up at the plaque on the door, which read the words "Qiushui Pavilion".
……
"Sister Yanqiu!" As soon as the three of them entered the store, a girl in a white dress and white dress greeted her, saying that she was a girl, but in fact she was just a half-grown child. is only eleven years old this year, but in the past six months, the "Sister Yanqiu" who has followed her has learned to dress up, and she has begun to have a clear charm at a young age.
"Yingying. The girl in red walked over with a smile.
The girl in white is naturally Lu Ying, and this woman in red is the granddaughter of the second master of Changshan Island and Chai Lao, Geng Yanqiu!
Since Chai Lao followed Xu Chen, the worry in Geng Yanqiu's heart disappeared. The revenge is avenged, and both her grandfather and herself feel like they have been reborn.
The previous years were only for revenge, but now Geng Yanqiu has begun to experience the joy of life, and there is hope and expectation in his heart.
After coming to Shengzhou, there were a lot of guys and chefs from Yuzhang Qiushui Pavilion, and the guys and shopkeepers were good to say, and they could arrange other jobs after training. But these chefs who have been cooking all their lives, it will be troublesome if they want to change careers, although Xu Chen pays them monthly money every month, but the people who can come to Shengzhou with Xu Chen all the way are people with simple temperament and sincere support for Xu Chen.
There was no way, Xu Chen had to spend money to open another Qiushui Pavilion in Shengzhou City, but fortunately, it didn't cost a few dollars, so he had the right to find something to do for these chefs.
After the hotel was opened, it was found that there was no shopkeeper in charge. Warehouses, shipyards, maritime trade, and so on all need capable shopkeepers to manage, and the teenagers are still young and still need time to be trained to serve the public. As a result, there will be no one who can arrange to be the shopkeeper of the liquor store.
Later, after learning about this, Geng Yanqiu volunteered to come to this restaurant as a shopkeeper. Anyway, Xu Chen was not short of the money, so he simply let her go.
I never thought that after Geng Yanqiu became this shopkeeper, the business of Qiushui Pavilion would be even more prosperous!
In fact, it is normal to have this result, you must know that Geng Yanqiu regards this restaurant as his own career, and he sleeps every day, just to run the business well, and let someone see his ability!
Before coming to the restaurant as a shopkeeper, Geng Yanqiu was actually arranged by Xu Chen to be a bodyguard by Lu Ying's side. Among the teenagers, Lu Ying is a girl, and Xu Chen naturally attaches great importance to the only sister of the big guy.
After Geng Yanqiu came to the restaurant, Lu Ying often followed, after all, there are not many women in Zhuangzi, even fewer can talk, and even fewer people can teach themselves some "things about adults"! Lu Ying naturally became closer and closer to Geng Yanqiu!
Originally, Lu Ying was still called Geng Yanqiu "aunt", but later changed her name to "sister" after Geng Yanqiu was strictly stopped.
Lu Ying was still young and didn't understand what it meant.
"Sister Yanqiu, do you have a guest?" Lu Ying saw Ling'er and Senior Brother Ma beside Geng Yanqiu, so he asked.
"It's okay! you go play first, and I'll come and accompany you after greeting the guests." Geng Yanqiu smiled.
"Okay!" After Lu Ying finished speaking, she nodded politely at Ling'er and Senior Brother Ma, and then turned around, and the other party called out to another little girl who had been standing aside: "Xue'er, let's go upstairs!"
"Miss, Xiaobai, it's disobedient again!" Another girl who is also dressed in white is Lin Xue'er, Lin Jin's granddaughter. At this time, Lin Xue'er is no longer the yellow-haired little girl who followed her grandfather to sell candy! In the past year, she has eaten and drunk, and she has become more and more exquisite, and she is already a beautiful embryo.
"What?, what's wrong with Xiaobai?, is it gone again?" Lu Ying asked anxiously.
"Yes, it's gone again in the blink of an eye!" Lin Xue'er replied.
"Then what should I do? There are so many people in the city, what if they are captured by the bad guys?" Lu Ying looked anxious, and was about to go out to look for it: "No! I have to find Xiaobai!"
After finishing speaking, he was about to go out, and Geng Yanqiu, who was introducing Ling'er and Senior Brother Ma into the guest room, saw it, and hurriedly ran over with a confession.
"Yingying, what's wrong? is something missing?" asked Geng Yanqiu.
"It's not a thing, it's a little white!" Lu Ying replied.
"Xiaobai, what is Xiaobai?" Geng Yanqiu asked again.
"It's not a thing!" Lu Ying was anxious, and his words didn't come back clearly.
Lin Xue'er, who was still on the side, added: "Xiaobai is a pigeon raised by Miss, a white pigeon!"
"Oh...... It's a pigeon! It's gone, it's gone! It's good to go back and buy another one for you!" Geng Yanqiu said with a smile.
"I don't want it! Xiaobai is the only one!How can other pigeons compare!" Lu Ying shook her head vigorously.
Seeing this, Geng Yanqiu had no choice but to say: "There are many people outside, I don't worry about you going out alone, or wait for my sister to accompany you to find it." ”
"I don't want to! if I don't look for it again, what if I get caught by the bad guys?" Lu Ying was still anxious.
"This ......" looked at the two guests on the side, Ling'er and Senior Brother Ma, and then looked at the little girl in front of her, who was rarely disobedient, Geng Yanqiu was at a loss for a while.
Lin Xue'er was still clever and persuaded her: "Miss, you forgot, Xiaobai is a carrier pigeon trained by the big boss himself! You can know the way home thousands of miles away, and you won't get lost." ”
Don't look at Lin Xue'er's young age, she is actually a ghost, and she deliberately bites the word "big owner" very heavily in one sentence.
"That's right! Xiaobai is a carrier pigeon raised by Brother Chen, and he won't get lost......" Lu Ying believes in his Brother Chen!
Just when Lu Ying was a little relieved, but not completely relieved, a "gurgling" sound sounded, and a white shadow jumped in quickly!
"So fast! what is it?" Geng Yanqiu, who could only catch a white afterimage rushing towards Lu Ying, was shocked, thinking it was a hidden weapon, she hurriedly moved, and her body was about to rush towards Lu Ying.
But before she could pounce, Lu Ying shouted excitedly: "Xiaobai!"
I saw that the white shadow quickly fell into Lu Ying's arms, and then like a small dog, it rolled lazily in Lu Ying's arms, and then fluttered a wing, and buried his head in it, as if he was tired of eating and wanted to take a nap and rest.
"Xiaobai, you're back, where did you go, I'm worried to death!" Lu Ying gently stroked the white pigeon's bright feathers and complained softly.
"This ...... This is Xiaobai?" Looking at the fluffy thing in Lu Ying's arms that was curled up in a ball, and even the two thin legs were retracted into the wings, Geng Yanqiu really couldn't believe that this was actually a white pigeon!
"That's right! It's Xiaobai! How about it, it's cute, right?" Lu Ying raised the white dove like a treasure, and showed off with a smile: "Xiaobai is not only cute, but also very smart! No matter what I say, it can understand." ”
"Really, hehe......" Geng Yanqiu still couldn't recover from the strong contrast, and laughed dryly.
Who knew that the disdain in her tone was heard by Xiao Bai, the white pigeon raised the wings covering her head slightly, and a pair of black and white eyes glanced at Geng Yanqiu very humanely, with a thick disdain in her eyes.
"Damn! The old lady was actually despised! or by a pigeon!" Geng Yanqiu, who reacted, was shocked and angry in his heart.
Just as he was about to have a seizure, he saw that the damn pigeon jumped up from Lu Ying's arms quickly, staring at Ling'er and Senior Brother Ma on the side with a pair of small eyes, blinking his eyes vigorously, as if he couldn't believe it.
When it was finally confirmed, he flew up violently and pounced towards Ling'er.
"Little white ......" Lu Ying was startled, and some bad feelings suddenly occurred in her heart, as if something was about to be lost.
"Hey, it's you!" the girl Ling'er looked at the white dove flying in front of her, slightly surprised.
"Giggles!" The white dove happily flew up and down in front of Ling'er, as if he had seen a relative.
Seeing this, Lu Ying, who ran over from the "Xiaobai ......", felt sour in her heart, and thought to herself, Xiaobai had never been so happy in front of her!
"What, is this your home?" asked Ling'er, who was beside him, to the white pigeon.
The white dove just wanted to nod, but then shook his head vigorously.
Ling'er was a little confused.
"It's mine! Xiaobai belongs to me!" Lu Ying looked at the white dove flying in the air, and wanted to hold it in his arms again, but he couldn't reach it, so he could only declare the ownership of the white pigeon in a firm tone.
Looking at Lu Ying's anxious expression, Ling'er was a little amused, and was about to speak, but Senior Brother Ma, who had not made a sound since she came in, grabbed her, and then walked up to Lu Ying, and asked, "Did you live in Yuzhang City before?"
