"You still have this?" After hearing this, the young man instantly showed an expression of disbelief.

I could only smile at him awkwardly and laugh, "Yes, indeed." ”

Because I happened to meet Wu Yu on the way to Nanhua Town, I changed some of my original plans.

The two of them changed the wrong baggage, which also caused me to have to prepare more after arriving in Nanhua Town!

But in any case, there are a lot of things in the baggage that were not originally there, and it is also true!

Wu Yu is a very good girl, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were traveling in opposite directions, and the objective conditions did not allow it, I would definitely be able to become good friends with her.

Who would have thought that you would have to bring a pot with you when you go out?

The young man's surprise was expected.

"I want to tell you, even if the shopkeeper sees it, it's okay."

The young man glanced towards the backyard kitchen across the stairs.

Then he withdrew his gaze to me, smiled at me, and lowered his voice, "Speaking of which, this is not the first time this has happened. “

The young man said seductively: "If you are seen by the shopkeeper, you will say that you are sick and suffer from the cold." "I'm afraid of delaying tomorrow's road, so I'll boil some medicinal soup in the kitchen and drink it." "Anyway, at night, the inn's kitchen is idle," he said in a gentle tone, "There have been guests who borrowed it before, so there is no need to explain so much." “

"Is that okay?" I frowned and asked, "Is there really one before?" ”

"Yes, yes. Well, don't worry," the young man continued to me, lowering his voice a little. "Last time, a guest from South Zealand came to our inn, well, about half a year ago." "He also cooks by himself, and in the middle of the night, he makes the inn kitchen smell weird."

The young man's tone was a little mysterious: "That smell is much more powerful than the smell of medicine." ”

He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Oh," I asked, stunned, then looked at him in surprise, "what the hell is going on?" ”

"Have you ever been to the south of Sealand?" The young man asked me.

I shook my head, and he said, "Then you don't know that it's from the south of Sealand."

The young man looked at me. The tone was a little hesitant. "What's wrong with the people from south of Sealand?" I asked, staring at him fixedly. "The people of the south, they have a strange way of eating," the young man paused. "I don't know what to tell you." "Well, it's barely dry goods," the young man said to me in a changing tone, "but it's in the jar." ”

"I heard that the guest was brought to us all the way from South Zealand. I threw some luggage on the way, and I didn't think it was too heavy. Didn't even throw this away! ”

The young man recalled for a moment and then said, "When that guest stayed at the hotel, he ordered only the usual food we eat here. "It wasn't much at the time, but I told him that if we need it, we can use the ingredients in the kitchen."

"If he likes it, he can do it himself."

The young man glanced outside: "This sentence has been ordered by the shopkeeper, especially those guests who come from afar, they have to add such a sentence." ”

"That's right. What's wrong? I asked.

So the guest got up in the middle of the night and opened the jar he had brought with him. Borrow our kitchen. “

At this point, the young man paused for a long time before continuing: "Good fellow, that smell is still there every other day!! ”

The young man said exaggeratedly, squeezing his eyebrows at me as he spoke, listening to his tone, the psychological shadow area is quite large!

I couldn't hold back on the spot, and the corners of my mouth twitched and I immediately laughed and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"It's true, so don't worry, it's just a medicine, it's a little bit." He said affirmatively to me.

"The smell of medicine is as good as the dishes made by that guest!"

Come to think of it, the dishes cooked by that guest in Sealanan reminded me of a meal I had tasted somewhere before I crossed over.

The smell wafted in the wind, and it really smelled rather ecstatic!

I was curious about the source of the taste, and I asked the chef about the recipe at the time, and the production method was also incredible.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the food linked to "spoilage" tastes very special once it is made, and it is considered a local famous food.

A lot of people come here, but there are also a lot of people who have trouble getting used to the weird smell.

Most of the dishes made by the guests mentioned by the young man are similar to those I have tasted!

The guest from the south of Zealand, the person who can alarm the inn in the middle of the night, somehow, I feel a little happy!

"Okay, that's it."

What the young man said is very reasonable, if you don't need to put a ready-made kitchen, it will be empty at night, where can I find such a good opportunity!

After all, the disfigurement pill thing can't afford to wait.

I restrained my smile and looked at the young man and said, "I asked you about the person from the martial arts family before, and it was the Tsing Yi man we met by chance on the street. ”

There was something else about that person that I couldn't understand.

The young man looked at me with a clear look in his eyes and said, "That's right, since you are going out at night, why don't you ask the innkeeper directly, he said it more clearly." ”

There was a look on his face that was familiar to me.

The second time, I was speculating, could it be that there was some special reason why he couldn't tell me happily?

My thoughts turned, and I asked him tentatively, "Is there something strange about that person, so you don't want to talk about it?" “

Because I observed the demeanor of the young man, I couldn't help but have this thought in my head.

In my opinion, general things, even if the person has some bad habits and bad habits, do not constitute a reason for him to speak falsely.

I couldn't figure it out, of course I knew that the young man was not related to the man from the samurai family.

He said before that even Dr. Wu rarely saw him in person when he heard his name.

Unless. Just like I guessed! There is another secret.

The young man was stunned for a few seconds, and then looked at me with some surprise. His eyes and tone were full of admiration: "You really have good eyesight!" "You're right, it's just that there are some things that the gods are talking about, and you can't say it directly."

The young man finally told the truth.

My eyes lit up, and I looked down.

According to what he said, the person from the Wu family has been able to live smoothly in the town until now, although the source of life is relatively difficult, at least he can survive smoothly after Dr. Wu left.

In addition to the above. There seems to be another layer of reason.

I thought about it, and I didn't ask the young man anymore, but I planned to ask the innkeeper carefully in the evening.

Maybe the shopkeeper will be willing to solve this problem for me.

What is so special about the people in Tsing Yi?

After a short silence. The young man looked at me and asked, "The hour is almost up, the chef in the big kitchen is ready, and I will have to serve it for the guests staying in the hotel in a while." "When are you going to go down and get ready?" "Right now, right now!" I didn't hesitate to say to the guy

After some conversation. The boy narrowed his eyes and nodded, "The horse will continue to watch for me." Good life care. "But I'll get out of here tomorrow morning, and in two days someone will come to pick up the horse."

The young man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his heart tightened, and he reacted immediately.

The boy said this sentence to mean that there should be people in his family coming to Nanhua Town.

The young master of a rich family, there are all the guards, and there is still a shortage of people?

The young man answered with a very eye-catching expression: "Understand, you must be optimistic, don't worry." It's going to be fine. ”

"They paid for you for two more days before they left." The young man asked tentatively, looking at the young man with his eyes, "Since you leave tomorrow morning, the money for the house will have to be returned to you." ”

The young man waved his hand impatiently: "No! As long as you look at the horse, it will be. ”

He said a few words about feeding the horses, and nothing else.

The boy went up to the second floor, went back to the room where he had been staying, and took out the burden that had been placed in the cupboard.

Fortunately, the two guards at the bottom were a little discerning, and they didn't take the burden away.

Calculating the itinerary, they will arrive at the Yuwen family residence in the east of Suzhou as soon as possible to report the situation here to the steward

A moment later, the boy came down from the second floor of the inn and had already changed into another outfit.

He had a plan in his heart, and he wanted to go to the street to buy something to take away while the shop was still open at night.

The young man at the inn watched the boy go all the way out of the inn, and he didn't dare to disturb the guests and ask where to go.

The guest was obviously impatient, probably there was something important to do, and the young man watched for a while and walked away.

The boy came out of the inn and once again went to the north of the most lively part of Nanhua Town.

In addition to a change of clothes, he also carried a bag of medicinal herbs he had bought on the street.

If conditions permit, he doesn't plan to fake others, but for now, it is better to save effort and do things separately to save time.

The young man took the medicinal herbs to a small pharmacy in the north of the town and paid money for processing.

He thought for a moment, then took a pen and wrote down the steps on a piece of paper, and then went out the door with his baggage to another street.

Although he has not been in Nanhua Town for a long time, the boy has a clear understanding of the distribution of the streets here, as well as the shops along the street, and what he needs.

He was extremely efficient, and he went into several shops on the street.

By the time it was over, the burden on the boy's back looked bigger.

Returning to the small pharmacy where the medicinal materials were stored for processing, the boy retrieved the powder that had been processed according to his instructions.

He took all the loot with him and went all the way to the southeast of town.

The boy didn't take the car this time, and used it directly

When I followed the guy outside the big kitchen, I took a look at the sky, tomorrow should be a good day.

Then, I stopped at the door of the large kitchen, and I could smell the aroma of the food, but I didn't look inside and didn't see the chef of the inn that the young man had introduced me.

"The dishes are served to the guests, and Master Ding is chatting over there!"

The young man seemed to see my question, looked at me, and explained.

I nodded, not too surprised.

After walking to the stove and looking at it for a while, he secretly guessed that the fat master who had met him probably wanted to hear the opinions of those merchants, so he went to the lobby on the ground floor.

"And one more thing, let me tell you," said the young man, who stopped by the stove and watched me not in a hurry to prepare for the meal, but rather leisurely looked at the kitchen.

"What?" "Master Ding won't be back in the backyard for a while, you can start doing it." The young man said in a calm tone.

Naturally, I thought it was strange, so I turned my head to stare at him and asked, "Doesn't he live in the inn?" “

Since Master Ding is a hired person of the innkeeper, why doesn't he stay at the inn at night?!

I think it's a little weird. "Sometimes he lives with us, well, there is a room on the west side of the courtyard."

The young man gestured to me: "But sometimes he doesn't live here, because he has a relative who lives down the street not far from our inn. “

I stopped at the door and glanced at the west courtyard. "Master Ding's relatives are old and live alone, so Master Ding often visits him, and sometimes he simply lives in his house."

I see.

I turned my head and glanced out the window, then retracted my gaze and asked the young man, "Then you are from the same village as him, do you have any relatives in the town?" "No," said the young man, with regret, "if there were, my mother wouldn't have stopped me and didn't want me to come." "If there are relatives in the town, at least someone else can take care of me."

I was silent for a moment and asked, "You mean the big kitchen is empty at night, don't you?" ”

"That's right, no one will come to get in your way, I'm talking about boiling medicine."

The guy confessed.

There was also a plate of snacks next to the stove.

The young man said to me, "Master Ding made it just now, he left it for me, make more of it, and you can eat it at night during the vigil." ”

He motioned for me to pick it up and try it, and I just took a piece and walked to the kettle by the stove to get water, and found that the water was empty.

I thought it would be too dry to just eat such a snack, and it would be better to make a pot of tea with it, so I decided to go out and get some cold water.

Pushing open the door, I ran to the well.

The young man came after me, and when he saw me squatting down and putting a barrel with a long rope hanging down into the well, he quickly snatched the rope from it

Slowly lowering the wooden bucket under the ground, and then pulling the bucket up, the young man smiled at the corner of his mouth: "There is an inn in the town that has installed a mechanism, and the water does not need to be carried like this." ”

"That's easy," I gave up my spot to him as soon as he came.

Watching him lift the water, I stood up and repeated, "That mechanism is the easiest, I know it, but it's a pity that I stayed in town for a short time." ”

I've seen similar devices more than once, and it's not difficult!

The young man looked at me in a daze, let go of his grip on the rope, put the barrel by the well, and muttered to me, "You are amazing! (To be continued.) )
