Chapter 487: Temporary Shopkeeper
The situation in the city is like a taut string, and anyone who touches it will be pulled out of a deep wound and blood splattered everywhere.
I still sit in the Roll-Royce Restaurant, but with a new identity - the temporary shopkeeper of the Roll-Royce Restaurant. The injuries on Luo Yan's body are too serious, and he has been directly moved to the hospital for treatment, and the Luo family has their own things to do, and no one has time to come over to take care of the restaurant.
Of course, the reason for this is that I heard Fan Xiaotian say that the main reason is that she almost killed the Luo family of few people before her. In addition, the relationship between the Luo family was not very good before, so these people were reluctant to associate with her anymore.
Otherwise, there would not be only Fan Xiaotian, a helper in Luo Luo Restaurant, who is still only ten years old. The cooks in the back kitchen were all invited by Luo Yan.
Since I also intervened in the matter of Luo Yan's invasion of Xingtai, she hired me as the temporary shopkeeper of the restaurant. All the income earned during this period is recorded in the account and all belongs to me. Silver, and there is another thing that I care about at the same time, and I will do it, little lady.
Unfortunately, due to the intimidating atmosphere in the city, there are not many customers who come to the restaurant to eat.
There are almost a few fixed old drunkards every day, and you can sit for a day with a few plates of side dishes after a few corners of wine. And I, a bored temporary shopkeeper, can only hold a fan to shoot mosquitoes to relieve boredom.
The fox still stayed in our former courtyard and was responsible for "remembering and writing" the route, and the patriarch of the Wuxian clan didn't pay much attention to me becoming the temporary shopkeeper of Luo Luo Restaurant.
The fact that the soldiers had been killed one after another in the past few days was enough to give him a headache. The soldiers operating in the city have not died since they were replaced by the Fan family, which makes people faintly feel that the murderer is running for the army of the Wuxian clan.
Although the fox and I are from the Fenglong clan, we have nothing to do with the Wuxian army. What's more, I said that I settled in the restaurant to secretly find out where the dragons were hiding.
Admittedly, this is not a lie, but the truth. We and the first half of the Patriarch Wuxian's goal is the same, in order to find the dragons, he arranged for the Fan family to check the chickens and dogs on the bright side to attract the attention of others.
In secret, the "main force" is me and the fox.
On that day, Qi Jingyuan did not convince the Wuxian patriarch just by analyzing the situation faced by the Wuxian clan. Instead, he used all the secrets to stabilize the heart of the Wuxian patriarch - the fox revealed part of the clues in our hands to him.
For example, the dragons are not dead, and they are in the city. However, the exact location of the hiding, the fox said was very confusing. Even a few places are traps, so you can't act rashly.
As for the other part of the truth - the hiding place and suspicious characters found out by Qi Jingyuan were all concealed, it was not because we ourselves felt unbelievable. It's that we're not going to say it in the first place.
This is the second half of the goal, and it and the goal of the Wuxian patriarch will part ways and retreat.
And now is not the time to startle the snakes, and we must wait until the agreement with Fan Xiaoleng is completely completed before we can officially take action to take the dragons away. Naturally, these are also unknown to the Fanjia who create chaos outside all day long.
Under the pretext of "using Luo Luo Restaurant as a cover to secretly investigate the real hiding place of the dragon group and the people who robbed the dragon group", the Wu Xian patriarch agreed to my proposal to go out of the courtyard and live in the restaurant.
I also asked if I would like to send someone to secretly protect my personal safety.
But I refused, how can I act when I have too much eyeliner around? Patriarch Wuxian didn't believe us completely, and when we went out openly, we were often secretly stared at by two people, and he thought we didn't know.
"A pot of plum wine, a roast goose!" Another guest entered the door, but he couldn't find Fan Xiaotian.
The little broken boy must have gone to the hospital again, and I pressed the fan in my hand against the counter. Although my heart was furious, I still adhered to the style of the shopkeeper and smiled to guide the guests to their seats, and went to the back kitchen to talk about the dishes, and served the wine by the way.
It was past noon, and Fan Xiaocai ran into the door with a box of rice cakes. The young man pushed the box in front of me with a smiling face: "Mrs. Qi, this is the best rice cake in the city, try it." ”
I smashed him on the head with a fan, but I didn't want to use much force, and Fanxiaotian's eyes were as red as rabbits. The clothes are also dirty, and the face is still blue and purple, and it looks like he was beaten and didn't fight back.
"Little broken boy, you still know how to be courteous. Why don't you hurry up and change your clothes, wash your face, and come out to help? I yelled deliberately, glancing at the little ruffian who was glancing across the street with bared teeth and looking this way. When a few people saw me looking over there, they were all scattered.
This kind of place is the Wuxian people...... How could there be such a species as a little ruffian?
The rules and regulations here are severe, and the punishments are almost all engraved with the word cruelty. In addition to the white dragon as a shield and the "deviant" family from time to time, where do ordinary people dare to be unruly ruffians? I looked at where the men had been standing and didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
"Shopkeeper, collect money." A smell of alcohol wafted over, and I quickly withdrew my gaze.
The old man in front of me was as red as a boiled shrimp, and his nose hit my eyes, and the red glow on his face was even more oily. I glanced at the empty table, and Pu Fan nodded in front of the account room: "Twenty Wen." ”
"Okay!" The old man took out the copper coin and put it in the place where I had knocked it with a fan, and only after the account office had recorded it did he rub his nose and leave.
Fan Xiaotian ran down from the second floor, and cleaned up the table and floor mat with his hands and feet. He lowered his head the whole time, didn't look at me, and I didn't have a chance to ask, so he poured a bowl of Yulu Qiong juice and ate rice cakes one by one.
Finally, when it was closed, Fan Xiaotian came to wipe the counter, and I quickly seized the opportunity to lean over and say, "You have a secret!" ”
“…… No. He was stunned and continued to wipe the counter, which was quite fast. After a short time, he wiped it from my side to the side where Mr. Fang Cai was sitting, and he skillfully picked up the bamboo slips and wiped the countertop and put it back.
I pouted, "No...... Yes...... What's going on with the little ruffian out there? "You were beaten by them, right?
I didn't say the rest of the words, everyone has dignity that needs to be maintained, and children are no exception. This time, Fan Xiaotian was not stunned, he picked up the inkstone and wiped the countertop vigorously: "They are passing by." ”
"If you don't say it, forget it." I discarded the fan boringly, turned around and walked out of the counter, took a bamboo pole from behind the door and blew out the lantern on the door.
Tomorrow I will change Mrs. Ben to visit the doctor, and I will see if those little ruffians will come to the restaurant to find trouble. After making up my mind, I beckoned the kitchen to boil the medicine for Fan Xiaotian and went upstairs to sleep safely.
The person who can make this tsundere boy willing to be beaten and not fight back has not been seen since he regained his memory...... Moreover, it is also an "outlier" that will never appear in the city of Wuxian.
Uncanny!
