"No problem," replied the young man after some thought, "as the old saying goes, eat other people's soft mouths and short other people's hands!" ”

Hearing this, I immediately nodded and said, "That's right! ”

The young man looked at me with emotion.

"Huh," I paused, muttered for a moment, and then looked up at him strangely, "you believe me so much! ”

A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, and I asked him, "Don't you think that my craftsmanship may not be as good as the master master of your inn?" ”

All in all, my stay in this inn was accidental.

Although it was possible to talk to the shopkeeper and the guy next to him, after all, it was just a meeting in Pingshui.

Isn't it strange for a stranger to give so much trust from the other party?

Seeing that I looked at him with puzzlement, the young man replied to me with a calm expression: "That's not it, the craftsmanship of the master in our inn is indeed very good." ”

With confidence in his tone, he looked at me without hesitation and said, "The main thing is the food you said you were going to make, and we really don't have it here." ”

"Guests from all over the world in our inn have come, but I haven't heard anyone mention it, and it's the first time I've heard you say it's the first time!"

The young man looked at me honestly and said.

"Anyone wants to taste something fresh!" "Those guests must have thought the same thing as me."

I realized, "That's what it means." “

The young man thought for a moment, and then said to me: "You must not know that the master of our inn is actually a studious. ”

I glanced at him. He groaned and asked him, "You mean that the master won't mind if I temporarily occupy the kitchen and do the cooking?" ”

"Definitely not." The young man replied quickly without thinking about it. "The former shopkeeper hired a cook from the Northland to help with the cooking," he said, glancing into the distance. "The master gets along well with others."

After saying these words, the young man bowed his head and was silent.

My gaze fell on his face, observing his expression as if he was recalling the past, and then he raised his head and said, "Master has learned several tricks from others." ”

I was stunned, but then I understood what he meant.

The young man refers to the master of the inn who can get along harmoniously with even competing partners, not to mention that I am just a passer-by in Nanhua Town.

"At that time, even the tongues spoken by the aliens in the Northland. The master has learned a lot. “

The young man blinked and said, "I really don't know how he learned, I don't understand, I still have a lot of dealings with foreign races!" ”

There was some adoration in the young man's tone. "Before the war in the Northlands. Our Nanhua Town Market is even more lively, didn't I mention it to you? “

A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I slowed down my tone and said, "It's not just you, but even the shopkeeper has told me about it." “

The young man hurriedly nodded and continued: "Well, at that time." The aliens of the Northland also came to the town to set up stalls. "There's something in the Northland that we can't see here. Look at it and it's fresh," he paused, and continued, "At that time, when I went shopping, I asked the master to go with me, and I didn't fall back." “

I asked suspiciously, "What will he do if he goes with me?" “

When the young man heard my question, his expression was a little uncomfortable.

He tilted his head and thought for a moment. When he met my gaze, he shyly explained, "When you need to bargain, push him out!" ”

"He spoke in alien language to the aliens of the Northland. Finally, the storage price can be kept down. “

The young man's tone was a little excited. "The master has a lot of functions!"

I was so happy to hear that I couldn't help but smile at him.

"I understand that the chefs over there in the Northland must have specialized in something, and they are different from the people here."

I subconsciously picked up the sentence: "The craft of cooking is inherently eclectic." “

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, there is a specialization in the art industry.

The young man nodded again: "The chefs of the different races are good at cooking beef and mutton, and the dishes they cook are also delicious." ”

Of course, I don't want to understand everything, I don't know why, but for a moment I have a little expectation of the Northland.

I lowered my head and thought about it, and said to the young man: "I think you are very good at doing things in the inn, you can see a lot of people, but in the mountain village, there are not so many opportunities." "When I wanted to come out, my mother was still uneasy, but I have seen it in the past few years," the young man looked at me and grinned, "She knows that I can do things well with the shopkeeper in the town, and I can earn some money and gain knowledge." "That's the reason, think about the fact that you can still taste the dishes made by the chefs of the two places in the inn."

The focus of my attention is still related to eating, and after thinking about it, I looked at the young man and said.

"No, it's the same tonight, it's your light."

The young man immediately answered.

"If it's anywhere, I can't talk about it, and I have to ask you to help me with today's matter, so I'm going to make trouble."

I spoke calmly, listening to the young man make a joke at me. "If you say that again, I'll have to ask you for an errand!"

I'm willing to make a move, but it's just to add some leverage to myself, otherwise how can I talk to those who are in business?

Their people are thieves and thieves.

Not mentioning the thief, I frowned and immediately remembered the man in Tsing Yi.

Think about the debris he was hiding when he ran and fell to the ground, could it be that he brought them with him in the town?

Otherwise, how can you explain a lot of clutter? It was not even wrapped in a baggage, it was hidden on the body.

Well, quite possibly!

But where exactly did I see him, and why I still can't remember?

Every time I encounter something I don't understand, I put it aside for the time being, and I will figure it out!

Anyway, one thing I can be sure of is that I've definitely met this guy!

Together with the innkeeper, the two of us slowly approached the inn gate along the street

Window facing the street. A slit opened slightly.

The boy leaned against the window, keeping an eye on the movement outside.

The pedestrians coming and going on the street, the cars and horses he saw were boring!

Suddenly, he was refreshed. Naturally, I saw two slowly moving figures on the street not far away.

Both of them were talking and laughing, and one of them was a young man from the inn, whom he had seen when he was staying at the hotel.

The other teenager clenched his fists and smiled so happily, that guy Xiaoling!

Was he so happy?

Although he wore a hood, the boy could recognize him at a glance.

Of course, I can clearly remember the face under the hood. At this moment, he must be looking at the people around him with bright eyes through the veil.

It's an awkward feeling!

I don't know why, at this moment, there was a trace of anger in the young man's heart, and the next second he immediately closed the window with a gloomy face.

It's tightly closed. Leave no gaps

As I approached the inn door, that familiar feeling returned!

It's really weird, as if there's a gaze on me out of nowhere.

As soon as you approach the inn, the feeling is particularly obvious!

Could it be that the people who are staring at me have already chased me to the inn?

I know what's going on in the North Market and I haven't figured it out yet. The stalker who seems to be nothing. I also didn't know who the other person was.

But I can't think of anyone else I would have contact with when I first arrived in Nanhua Town.

When I was drinking tea in the teahouse, the old neighbor of "Xiaolin", the aunt reminded me, I also noticed it, didn't I even cover myself up when I went out at this time?

I've been on the street with the boy, and I've never met anyone else who misunderstands who I am!

Go back and think about the group of people in the Wang Division. They are still in the mountains some distance from Nanhua Town.

All around him were the accompanying soldiers, plus the empress. I don't think anyone would have the time to come to town at this time, and the state of his departure

The thought flashed, and my mood suddenly became a little depressed, and I lowered my head for a while and thought silently.

The young man next to me took a step closer to me and asked, "When you get to the place, just give me the ingredients in your hand." ”

Pulling back my thoughts in a second, I shook my head at him, looked at him and said, "It's all here, how can there be a reason for you here!" ”

"It's just a little bit away, I'll help you go to the big kitchen of the inn together."

I still have important things to do.

I made it clear to the young man: "By the way, I want to take a look at the master by the way, and I have to deal with him for a while, so I can get to know him in advance." ”

"Okay!"

The young man listened to my insistence, and thought that it was reasonable, so he no longer stubborn, and led me into the door of the inn one after the other.

At this time, in the lobby on the ground floor of the inn, there are only a few tea drinkers.

It's not dinner yet.

Along the way, I also smelled the aroma of many people's cooking along the street, but most of the guests in the inn were strolling around Nanhua Town, or they were people who had something to do.

Most of them have not yet returned, and even the mountain residents of the guest inn who set up stalls in the north market of Zhenbei are also returning one after another.

The market stalls were closed at about this hour, and they had to pack up and come back from the north of town, and they might have to buy something on the way.

Because according to what the shopkeeper mentioned when he talked to me, according to the law of the mountain people, I should leave tomorrow morning after staying for one night.

After about half an hour, it is estimated that the people who went out to the street will come back one after another, and the lobby on the ground floor of the inn will be full of people at that time!

As I walked through the lobby of the inn with the young man, I glanced at the tea drinkers.

I am pretty sure that none of them are the object of suspicion in my heart.

Can you be sure? Those few people who look like they are doing business at a glance don't have the temperament of spies at all!

I thought back to the gaze I had approached the inn, and it suddenly occurred to me that if I thought about it again, it was very likely that the house where the object of my suspicion lived was one of the rooms facing the street of the inn.

Thinking about it like this, it makes sense!

Because when I went out, I felt the gaze behind me, judging from the angle, it should be the person looking at me from the window facing the street on the second floor.

When I came back, the man must have been watching me in the dark.

That's right, most likely.

I quietly followed the young man to the big kitchen in the backyard of the inn with a large pile of ingredients in his hands.

When I saw that chubby figure, it was the chef of the inn I saw before I went out, the fat master!

The young man approached me and smiled at the man: "Master Ding, you asked me to buy too many things, but fortunately, I met a guest who stayed at the hotel on the way, and he was still familiar with me, so I helped him get it back." ”

The fat master glanced at me, and thanked me with a gentle face.

"What do you do to eat?"

The young man leaned over, looked at the stove with great interest, and asked him.

Unconsciously, he quietly glanced in the direction where I was standing.

I realized that I should quit first without disturbing them at this time.

I said hello to the chubby Master Ding, then walked out of the door of the large kitchen and glanced at the large table by the stove.

The cleaned side dishes are neatly placed on it, and I know that this will be the world of the master chef in a while.

Think about the guest at the table who has ordered a meal, and I'm waiting for the opportunity to talk to the other party!

Leave the situation in the hands of the young man, and ask him to take care of it for me.

I trust him, just wait.

Across the backyard, I walked up the wooden stairs upstairs

The man in Tsing Yi ran some distance through the alley, slowing down slightly.

In fact, he was very keen, and he had long known that the footsteps chasing behind him had disappeared.

After slowing down, he glanced at the empty alley behind him, and then hummed a little tune and walked towards the alley with a relaxed expression.

Different from the embarrassing situation of "fleeing" just now, his expression was much more relaxed at this time.

He fumbled in his pocket, but unfortunately he ran too quickly along the way, and scattered a lot of things.

If you turn back and pick it up at this time, most of them have already been picked up by passers-by on the street, and it will be in vain to run away!

He muttered in a low voice: "If you don't come back sooner or later, how good it would be to come back when the uncle has taken his things!" ”

Most of today's strength was wasted, and there was a hint of regret in his tone.

At this moment, he still had a box of ink blocks in his hand, plus a wolf hair, and in addition to these, it was the only paperweight.

The first two things he brought back after "visiting" a shop on the street.

The last paperweight was carved from jade from the nearby mountains, but it was not brought from the shop I had just visited, but from the Zhenbei Market today.

Zhenbei Market is really a good place, there are many people and miscellaneous, the safest, Tsing Yi people secretly said.

He walked calmly down the alley, to another street a few intersections, and into a small pawnshop in the town.

said that it was a small pawnshop, naturally because the door was small and there were few people who came here to pawn, but it was exactly what he wanted.

"Hey, shopkeeper," the man in Tsing Yi saw the thin middle-aged man behind the account counter, and immediately walked over. (To be continued.) )
