Chapter 460: Returning on a Cold Night
"It's a simple device." "Just tell you how to do it, even if it's just you."
I looked at him and said in a light tone, "Why didn't the shopkeeper let people go?" "Where to go?" The young man looked at me and asked suspiciously.
I glanced at the well and smiled, "Of course, I'm going to see what the inn with a device by the well is doing!" ”
"I'm just looking at your body, it's too hard to carry water."
The young man looked at me and smiled, "As for us, we have enough strength!" ”
I glared at him, and said, he really judged people by their appearance.
But what he said is actually true, it is definitely different from the mind and the strength.
The young man suddenly turned his head away, and his tone sounded a little unnatural.
I guess if it weren't for the darkness of the night, his face would have turned red.
I didn't think much of it, and said to him, "Now go to the kitchen to get food, the fire in the hearth is ready." “
I glanced at him with my peripheral vision, and then said in a calm tone: "I just saw that it hasn't been extinguished, you just need to help me make tea." “
The young man couldn't figure it out, so he asked me with a surprised expression, "Could it be that the food you make doesn't taste good?" “
A suspicious look flashed on his face, and he stared at me and asked, "Otherwise, why do you need to rely on the dim sum made by Master Ding to satisfy your hunger?" “
Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's not what I meant. "I just don't want to get too much," I explained to him. Because it's also a laborious job. “
"Just like you said, my body doesn't have enough strength."
As I spoke, I remembered something. I couldn't help but smile again. "Don't worry, you can't eat, I'll definitely give you enough on the guest's side."
These few words should be able to dispel his doubts, I said secretly in my heart.
But after listening to this, the young man scratched his head, and looked at me with a dazed look in his eyes for a moment.
He didn't seem to understand what I meant, and he still had doubts in his mind.
I walked back to the big kitchen first, it was useless to talk too much, maybe he would understand when he saw it.
Less. The young man standing in the courtyard also followed in with a bucket of water.
I started to get busy by the stove, and as soon as I started it, the young man's eyes showed a sudden realization: "No wonder you said you don't want to do too much, it turns out that the strength is wasted here." “
It's all about the dough! "But you have to say it sooner. I can help you. “
The young man looked at me kindly and said, "I can't do anything else, but this one, our people in Nanhua Town are good at it." “
I glanced back at him, shook my head and smiled, "I can't call you anymore." Otherwise, there is too much debt for favors. I don't think it's appropriate, and I won't feel at ease when I leave Nanhua Town. “
I didn't think that everyone in Nanhua Town would do this, because although I came here, I didn't inquire carefully about the customs here.
In addition, my stay was short after all, not enough to fully understand the place.
Indeed, the people of the Northland should be good at making pasta.
In the atmosphere was silent for a while, the young man was on the sidelines, quietly observing what I was doing.
He didn't ask, but the expression on his face was one of eagerness. "Since you want to help. Well, then don't be idle. “
I sensed his feelings. Turning his head to look at him, he said. "Okay, what do you want me to help you with, you can say it!"
The young man said to me very enthusiastically. "Go and cut up what I put on the table in the corner."
I pointed to him.
The young man followed the direction I was pointing, he entered the door one step later than me, and I had already placed the ingredients on the table.
Ham, tofu, soaked mushrooms, and radish each occupy a plate and are lined up. "How do you want me to cut these?" The young man walked over and looked at it carefully and asked. "Cut them all into small cubes." I paused and added, "You can wash some green onion and ginger and cut it into shreds." “
"It's cold today, so it's perfect to eat this!"
A steaming bowl of braised hemp food!
The kitchen in the backyard of the inn spread a strong aroma, and the young man couldn't help but shout as soon as he opened the pot: "It looks really good." ”
"You go and see, if Master Ding leaves, we can pass."
"Okay, I'll go over and have a look." The young man answered me
In the lobby of the inn, there was laughter for a while.
Except for those who went out to forage for food, the few who remained sat down with the businessmen at the table.
When you are away from home, if you have a conversation, it is easy to get closer.
Besides, these business people are usually used to running around and know how to talk to people.
In short, most people who can make money doing business, in addition to luck, are mostly not low in emotional intelligence.
At night in Nanhua Town, there was a cold wind outside, but the atmosphere inside the inn was extremely lively.
The finale was the stew I asked the guy to deliver.
I estimated that the amount was slightly more than that, but because there were still a lot of people, everyone only got a small bowl in their hands.
It's a steaming small bowl, which tastes particularly delicious on a winter night, and when you take a bite, your stomach feels comfortable ironing!
What else is the saying? Eat less and taste more! That's pretty much it.
The young man saw the opportunity for me, spoke to the people who were doing business, and successfully bought what I wanted to buy.
In a good mood, I leaned on the staircase and watched from afar, so I decided to go to the big kitchen to cook an extra dish for them.
The moment he turned to leave, he vaguely heard the voices of pedestrians on the adjacent street outside the inn.
I just paused, didn't stop and went to the kitchen in the backyard
The guy also gossiped with a bunch of drinkers.
When the atmosphere was just right, suddenly a person came in from outside.
The man walked in suddenly, wrapped in a chill. Dressed in black.
When the whole person walked in, even the atmosphere in the room was a little colder, and it was almost freezing!
The atmosphere is eerie. A group of people who were drinking happily looked over when they heard the movement.
The man's movements were so fast that they hadn't even had time to see the person's face, let alone look closely at each other's faces.
I probably know that he is a tall man who seems to be wearing a hat.
When the people walked over, someone at the wine table muttered: "The black light is blind, and he still wears that kind of Rausch." It's like I can't see anyone. ”
"Shut up, you can't talk nonsense."
The merchant who was drinking with him immediately stopped: "Brother, let's go out." Be cautious in your words. ”
The boy frowned as he walked through the lobby on the ground floor of the inn.
Far away from the street outside the courtyard, I smelled a special fragrance here, as if it was some kind of food.
He remembered that he had never smelled the aroma when he walked around Nanhua Town today.
It smells very appetizing, and it is rare that the inn has such a good chef.
The thought passed through the boy's mind. But only a little thought about it.
He made a trip to the southeast of town. After finishing the things to be done, I feel better.
Go straight up the wooden staircase to the second floor, and you can see that the lights are still on in the backyard, and the location of the large kitchen.
He secretly said in his heart that the aroma he smelled in the lobby was probably the result of the inn's cook's work in the backyard.
The boy pursed his lips and walked back and forth down the corridor, stopping for a moment in front of a certain room.
Several thoughts passed through the young man's heart, and after a while, he realized that there was no one in the room, and his expression instantly changed with some helplessness. Fang quickened his pace and left
The well-fed and well-fed people dispersed one after another, and one by one they went upstairs to rest.
I walked into the lobby of the inn. The aroma had not yet dissipated, and the young man was busy cleaning up the table in the lobby.
He moves neatly, arranging the dishes and chopsticks, and wiping the table clean.
After a while, he cleaned up the table, and the dishes and chopsticks to be cleaned were taken to the well outside the large kitchen in the backyard in batches.
I followed him, trying to help, but he tried to stop it, and I was busy the whole time.
"You are a guest, how can you intervene to help me do things!"
When he was done, I walked to the well and looked at him and smiled: "There is still food in the big kitchen, which I bloomed separately when I first made it, do you want to taste it?" ”
He was stunned for a moment, then looked at me with a smile and said in a grateful tone: "It's hard for you to have a heart!" "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for helping me so much, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have done things so smoothly."
I said to the guy sincerely.
As soon as I finished speaking, the young man immediately asked, "The fur has been bought, and is there time to find the embroidery girl in the town to do the needlework?" ”
I shook my head and smiled, "It's definitely too late, I'll do it myself." "Although the craft is almost good, I can barely try it alive," I have a rough estimate of myself in my heart.
"Probably okay."
The young man showed a look of surprise, and his mouth was almost closed: "You still have this!" ”
Oops, I had a good chat with him, and before I knew it, I relaxed and forgot the most important things.
I looked embarrassed and said, "My family is in the capital city, and my family is full of sisters. ”
"No wonder, you look at it," the young man paused, and said in the same tone with some embarrassment, "I didn't mean that, it's not strange that you raise a hundred kinds of people in the same rice." ”
"When you say that, I understand."
The young man hung his head and didn't look at me.
I silently complained in my heart, big brother, do you understand Shenma!
I had to do it, okay?
However, even if he misunderstood, I can't blame anyone, who made me look like this now!
"That's exactly what you said, the same rice raises a hundred people," I bowed my head and muttered to myself.
After a while, I thought about it for a moment and said to him, "I still have business at night, what I told you before." ”
"Well," the young man replied, "don't worry. "I'll help you light the fire on the stove, you can go and prepare it first."
The young man spoke in a sincere tone, looked at me seriously, and said seriously. "If there are herbs to be washed before boiling, you can take them to the big kitchen to wash them."
"Okay, then you can wait a while," I turned to leave, and after taking a few steps, I suddenly remembered something else, "By the way, why didn't I see your shopkeeper at dinner." ”
"I went to the lobby of the inn to take a look, but I didn't find any other figure, where did the shopkeeper go?"
I remember that at this hour yesterday, the shopkeeper was guarding the ledger!
There are still things to inquire with the innkeeper, and I am more concerned about his movements.
"Maybe something is going out!" The young man said disapprehantly, "Our shopkeeper here has been very busy. ”
"It seems that he is quite attentive, if he hadn't remembered it, he would have been so busy during the day and at night to watch the thief for the guests."
My focus is different from his, and when I hear it, I think of last night!
"You said that if he came back, would he be as stumbling as you were if I asked him?"
"No, if the shopkeeper didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't have said a word to you last night."
The young man scratched his head and spoke to me with great certainty.
Dare to talk to me last night, or because the shopkeeper looked at me differently, it seems that the innkeeper is also a weirdo!
My mind turned, and I thought of the shopkeeper's friends.
The man was so persistent that he repeatedly searched for a suitable place for the sake of tea, and was even happy to stay in the barren mountains all his life.
It is said that things gather people in groups, and the innkeeper must also be a person with a special personality
In the valley, Mo Yan waited far away by the stream, bowed his head and broke a flower.
Naturally, he had not expected what the two men in the carriage were talking about, although he wanted to know very, very much.
What did that treacherous guard do in Nanhua Town?
The man found Childe before nightfall, presumably there must be something important to say, what happened in Nanhua Town?
Somehow, Mo Yan was always a little apprehensive in his heart.
He stopped by the carriage and waited for a moment, not seeing the guard's next move, and then Mo Yan walked to a secluded forest next to him.
Mo Yan listened to the sound of birds and the wind in the forest, and had no choice but to wait quietly.
It didn't take long for the figure of the hidden guard to quietly flash.
"In the area of Nanhua Town, what are the new arrangements for Childe?"
Mo Yan thought about this question for a long time, and knew that he shouldn't ask it, but he still couldn't help but ask.
The current situation is a bit delicate, and ordinary people can't see through Gongzi's thoughts, and they can't guess the empress's intentions.
Stopped in this valley, the army outside the valley did not move, and the people in the bureau could not understand it and could not control it.
The hidden guard glanced at Mo Yan with some surprise and said in a light tone: "I know you're worried, but I can't answer you." ”
The hidden guard was already in a rare gentle tone, and even said a few more words.
Hearing this, Mo Yan looked at him dejectedly, and after a while, the man left.
Mo Yan stood by the stream and was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and walked towards Gongzi's carriage.
The night fog began to disperse in the valley, and as far as the eye could see, the transpiring mist in the valley obscured the view.
In this case, the light inside the carriage is the warmest in the valley.
