The large kitchen was quiet, and the fire was blazing in the hearth.

The young man's voice sounded exceptionally clear in this slightly larger room.

"Guest, there are some dry goods in our big kitchen, which are from Beilang Mountain."

The young man looked at me and emphasized, "Those dry goods are better than those sold in the town shops." ”

The young man said a few words in succession, and I looked back at him fixedly and then nodded, but the question in my heart was not answered, and it still existed.

From the helper to the delivery, I couldn't seem to match the impression that stranger had given me.

I just felt a little disobedient, and I was in a trance for a moment, and I silently wondered what was wrong?

Always trusting my instincts, I knew that the man I had just met was the first stranger I had seen out of the inn in the evening.

When I arrived in Nanhua Town, I ran into that person when I came out of the inn, and I was startled by him.

He also looked at me with scrutinizing eyes, which reminded me of my experience in Suzhou for a second.

Pondering carefully, he made a deep impression on me, and the temperament of that person similar to the uninvited guest I met in the deep alley could not deceive people.

To say that he is just a simple helper is too demeaning to others! No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense.

I'm sure I'm right, that person is definitely a kung fu person, and his temperament will be revealed inadvertently after tempering.

It's a good thing the guy didn't let my suspense last too long.

I looked at him with a frown and coughed.

The young man said to me in a sincere tone, "That person has been to the inn quite a few times. But taciturn and with a somewhat eccentric personality. “

The young man lowered his eyelids in thought, then raised his head and said to me, "But he is very good, and he knows some kung fu." “

The young man told me the reason. "The shopkeeper's old friend lives in the mountains and has concerns. On weekdays, I was worried about being a cook, and that person was also guarding the tea garden as if he had half an extra guard. ”

"It's more appropriate to have such a person by the side of the shopkeeper's old friend."

Yes! I reacted quickly, and with a calm expression I thought, yes - that's how he first felt for me!

I have noticed some of the same places in Ah Lai, the guard of the Yuwen family in the east of the city, but in fact, it is the same.

After the young man's explanation, it sounds much more reasonable!

People have already taken on several responsibilities.

What's more, I can live in the wasteland near the Yuwenjia tea garden for so long. If you can grow tea and sell it smoothly, it sounds quite capable.

How can you do it without two brushes?

The two men talked for a while. Then there was a moment of silence in the large kitchen, and I walked over to the stove to see what was boiling in the pot.

Suddenly remembered what happened in the mountain temple, Wu Yu was cooking in front of the earthen stove by the pillars of the temple. It only took me a short time to see her.

As I see. I think the heat can be increased, and the cooking time should be longer to make the soup taste good.

We were hungry and hungry at the temple and we were in a hurry to fill our stomachs against the cold, so we were not so picky.

But the people who want to taste the hot soup here are obviously not, so the requirements for the cooks are also higher.

The young man smelled the aroma diffusing in the large kitchen, and approached to look silent, probably afraid of disturbing me to do something.

He looked down at me and lifted the lid. Suddenly the aroma in the kitchen is stronger.

If it weren't for the wind blowing in the mountain temple, and occupying a different place from the people of the dart board. Otherwise, the aroma of the hot soup that day might attract their attention.

There are no worries here, and the large kitchen is filled with the aroma of ingredients.

"I'll have to wait a while, I'll have to slow down and cook for a while."

After saying that, I walked to the stove, and the young man had added firewood to it just now, and I looked at the fire in the hearth.

The young man sniffed from the side, turned to look at me, and said, "Guest, the things you bring are all from the town, but your friends are amazing." ”

"Yes, she told me that she likes to think about eating the most," I paused, and smiled at him, "I even want to take it with me when I go out, so I can see how much I love to eat." ”

I still hid a few words and didn't say them!

Wu Yu's small pot with him will be sighed by everyone who sees it.

The waiting time usually seems long, but there is someone who helps, and he talks to me, and the time passes quickly.

In the fog, I stepped forward to the stove and lifted the lid.

When the hot soup came out of the pot, I first made a bowl for the young man who helped to taste it, and he nodded again and again, and quickly finished it.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." The young man finished his praise and smiled at me.

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the taste must have passed, and when I saw him put down the bowl, I told him to send a bowl to the innkeeper for me.

I have my own taste preferences, but the young man is from Nanhua Town, and the taste he approves of is more acceptable to the shopkeeper, so I was looking forward to his reaction just now.

I turned my head to look out the window, the leaves of the flowers and trees planted in the backyard were blowing in the morning breeze, and now looking out of the large kitchen window, the sky outside was slightly brighter.

In a small town in the mountains like Nanhua Town, there is usually a morning market, and the mountain people must have already walked on the road.

I set the bowl aside and stared at the courtyard outside the window for a few seconds.

I remembered what the young man had told me in the hall, and asked before he promised to bring me hot soup to the innkeeper: "There is a delicious dim sum shop in the north of Nanhua Town, and there is also a teahouse over there, right?" ”

Hearing this, the young man stopped, turned his head to look at my eyes, and said, "Yes, guest, there is the most lively teahouse in the town over there, and there are a lot of people drinking tea on weekdays." ”

"It's very lively, it's early in the morning every day, and people are crowded one after another."

The young man said to me seriously: "When you walk in the teahouse, sometimes you have to wait. I couldn't even find an empty seat. ”

I thought back to what the shopkeeper had told me, and then asked, "The teahouse you said uses the same tea we have drunk?" ”

The young man nodded. It seems that what the shopkeeper said is true, because the sales are going to the northeast, including Nanhua Town.

"Okay, I get it all," I asked, figured out what was going on, and thought about it. "Please help me deliver the hot soup to the shopkeeper, I won't go, I plan to go out to the north of the town in a while."

I smiled at the guy and said, "Since it's such a lively place. Gotta be early. "I'm afraid I won't have a seat if I'm late." I put away my smile and said.

Watching the figure of the young man disappear outside the big kitchen, I bowed my head and made a bowl of hot soup, and I felt warm enough to withstand the cold of the early morning in the town.

I had to go back to the house where I lived. Wash up and get ready to go outside.

You have to know that you want to inquire about the news in the town. It's always a good idea to go to the places where it's easiest to listen to.

After thinking about it, I can't think of a better place to go than a teahouse for the time being.

Although I thought of another way last night, I was overturned by myself.

I haven't left yet, and I didn't expect the young man to be back soon.

As soon as the cold wind blew, his face was still red when he hurried into the big kitchen, and he couldn't figure out whether he was blown and frozen by the wind, or if he was embarrassed. "The shopkeeper asked me to ask if there is any hot soup in the cauldron!"

I looked at him in amazement. I didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so popular. "No, you may be mistaken. It's the other guests who want to try it when they see it," the young man scratched his head, "I told them, go back to the big kitchen." “

I gestured to the stove and said, "You go and do it, and there's more." “

The young man looked at me and said apologetically, "Don't be busy, let them wait for a while, delicious things need to wait." ”

He looked up and deliberately pretended to be a little unhappy, and I instantly understood his expression.

I couldn't help but laugh at him.

This guy is very clever, which reminds me of the ingots who do things in the courtyard of the Yuwen family, although the two have no intersection but have the same thing!

"You're right, it's good to take the time to wait and let them wait a little longer."

I think it makes sense, he speaks clearly, and it fits my ideas very well.

"Our shopkeeper also said that it is really troublesome for you," the young man explained to me after a few small talks, "and it is not easy for us to refuse when the guest speaks." ”

Standing in the position of the innkeeper, you have to try to meet the requirements of the guests.

The young man took a few steps closer to me and whispered, "You weren't invited here to do something. ”

"The shopkeeper said, I'm sorry for you, he feels sorry in his heart, and plans to waive your room money for a day." "That's great," I said, with the corners of my mouth raised, delighted. "By the way, those guests didn't ask if there was anything else to eat?" I said to the boy.

He was stunned, didn't react at once, and looked at me with a little curiosity. "Wouldn't you shopkeeper be even more embarrassed if they ordered something else to eat," I said to him in a gentle tone, "and then just let me live in vain!" I was free of room money for a few days! ”

"For the sake of the face of the free room money, I can also act as a temporary cook!"

"Pretty good deal!"

I looked at the young man, and he smiled. "Guest, why don't I ask again?" He joked with me. "Yes, as long as you like."

After waiting for a while, the young man's eyes swept over the stove, and he said to me, "It's still a little early to go out now, make a cup of tea and drink before leaving." ”

I watched as he brought the tea and began to do it skillfully.

It was clearly not the first time he had done something like this.

Because I've already drunk the tea he brewed in the lobby, and the tea used this time seems to be different.

Smelling the fragrance of tea, it is still pleasing to the eye to observe his technique.

When the tea was ready, I picked up the tea he poured for me on the table without squinting and took a sip, and it tasted okay.

After thinking about it, I looked at him and said, "You learned to make tea from the shopkeeper?" ”

Hearing this, the young man shook his head and said, "It's with that weird person, the one you asked." "Because he often comes to our inn," the young man paused in his tone, and continued, "He has been in the tea garden all year round, and he must be inseparable from tea when he has nothing to do, and he is better at this." ”

My heart moved, I drank the cup of tea silently, looked at the young man and said, "It's almost now, don't let the guests wait for a long time." ”

His previous statement was very correct, but he couldn't make the shopkeeper too embarrassed.

It is not a big deal for a guest to wait for a quarter of an hour, but if you delay and perfunctory others, you can feel it.

I helped the young man divide the hot soup from the cauldron into several bowls, and he served it on a wooden tray.

He and I both came out of the big kitchen, and I went upstairs and he went to deliver the hot soup.

"If you don't know the way to the north of the town, I can tell the shopkeeper that there are few guests staying in the hotel in the morning, do you want me to go with you?"

The young man asked me.

"No, Nanhua Town is not big," I paused and glanced at him gratefully, "I'll just ask the people on the street, thank you." ”

The escort Ah Lai was woken up by his companion's business, and the moment he opened his eyes, his spirit was lifted.

Ah Lai looked at his companion sitting at the table with his legs and asked, "The third young master has already gotten up?" ”

The companion shook his head, and his voice raised slightly: "I didn't hear any movement next door, and I haven't gotten up yet." ”

After the two men had spoken a few words, the guard Ah Lai walked back and forth in the house a few times, and then walked to the window.

The moment he stretched out his hand and opened the window, the cold air in the courtyard poured in.

In the early morning of the small town of Nanhua, the eastern skyline is only faintly bright, and it is not yet the most lively time in the town.

According to the personality of the third young master of his family, if he wants to go out, he will definitely hurry up.

The escort Ah Lai and his companions got up first, got ready, and waited for the master next door to give orders.

The inn where they lived was facing the street, and if you looked into the distance, you could see the breakfast stalls that began to be set up on the street, and the aroma wafting in the air.

However, there was already a plan last night, and the third young master of their family had set a place to go.

At this time, even if you can see the breakfast stalls on the street, some of them have to give up.

It's not the two of them who decide where to go next, the only one who can make the decision lives in the house next to the east!

I took the rest of the ingredients and went back to the room where I was staying.

Last night, the shopkeeper told me that he was worried about the finances of the guests at night, and he had been up and guarded.

The night was peaceful, and there was no abnormality in the inn.

I met a few merchants in the aisle who lived in the inn, and their appearance was very recognizable, and I could tell it at a glance.

My gaze paused on those people, and the shopkeeper must have been referring to them!

As we passed by, I heard their conversation, accented from the capital of Sealand.

It was a coincidence that I walked some distance and looked back, and saw a few of them go all the way to the bend and go downstairs.

I stood in the doorway and gently pushed the door open.

The room was still the same as when I left, and the windows were closed so tightly that you could tell that no one had entered. (To be continued.) )
