Chapter 456: I've Seen Him for a Long Time

The man in Tsing Yi half-leaned on the side of the account and glanced at the shopkeeper.

Then, he smiled and handed over the things in his hand and said, "It's for the master!" ”

"Phew!"

The shopkeeper of the pawnshop looked up and saw him, and immediately said with disdain: "Who should I be!" Go to the side! ”

"Hey, shopkeeper, how do you do business, can you still use it when guests come to the door?"

The man in Tsing Yi was not ashamed or annoyed when he spoke, and with a smile, he pushed the things in his hand to the place where the pawnshop shopkeeper was sitting.

He said calmly: "It's just other words, you see, the paperweight I hold in my hand is still worth a few dollars." ”

The shopkeeper looked at him with an unkind face.

"Don't get me wrong," the man in Tsing Yi said to the shopkeeper mysteriously, "I didn't come here, my little brother gave it to me." ”

"Doctor Wu has already gone to the south of Sealand, who are you going to!"

The pawnshop shopkeeper didn't believe it at all, and only said coldly to the man in Tsing Yi with a look of contempt, "He can still give you this!" ”

"Wasn't that what he gave him before he left?"

The man in Tsing Yi restrained his smile, changed it to a pitiful expression, looked at the pawnshop shopkeeper and slowly raised his sleeves and said, "Look, the cuffs of my dress have been cut by the branches." "No one has been sewing for a few days."

The shopkeeper's eyes froze at his cuffs, and then he looked away with disdain and did not answer.

"I haven't had a good meal in a few days," the man in Tsing Yi paused and continued disapprerovingly, "You can do it for me!" “

The man in Tsing Yi looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Let's exchange some money and ask the embroiderer to make up for this dress." Eat a full meal by the way! ”

He had no intention of leaving, and seemed to be intending to continue.

"Not! Unsuitable! Let's go! “

The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently.

The next moment, he looked at the man in Tsing Yi continuing to entangle. Patience has finally run out.

The shopkeeper simply stood up, walked to the door, and stepped forward to catch people!

Walking up the wooden staircase to the upper floor of the inn, there were noticeably more guests coming and going in the corridor.

When they passed me, they were still talking about the Zhenbei Market.

My mind moved, and I immediately guessed that those people were about the same kind of people I had mentioned earlier.

The person who went to Zhenbei and just returned to the inn.

There are countless people like this in the Zhenbei Market, and one street is very lively.

Those people have stalls. There are also those who go shopping for goods, or both.

They rest for a moment, and now go down. Most of the time it's time to get ready for dinner.

I suddenly remembered what the young man had told me before, since there are guests upstairs who have ordered dinner with the master, maybe there will be not enough manpower!

It is estimated that if other guests eat, most of them will ask the master chef to prepare some simple stir-fried dishes.

The fastest I can think of is a ready-made cauldron of soup. Or maybe it's a guy who can help with the noodles and the like.

When I followed the innkeeper to the big kitchen to deliver the ingredients, I smelled the aroma coming from the big pot on the stove. Now in hindsight, it should be the big pot of soup I mentioned.

The master Ding of the inn has been working in the big kitchen for several years, and he must be experienced in dealing with the flow of people.

No way, today's customer flow is more than the innkeeper expected.

Despite that, I didn't see anyone else in the backyard kitchen who came to help.

Is it too late to find it temporarily, or will the innkeeper still go into battle in person to take on the role of running the hall when there is a shortage of manpower?

I stood still on the corridor and thought about it for a while, and it was not surprising that it was the latter scenario that I had guessed.

The shopkeeper even did the vigil himself, and what is it to serve a plate!

The fat master surnamed Ding left the young man to help in the big kitchen, and he must have stayed in the restaurant for dinner.

They're a golden match!

After thinking about it for a moment. I went to my own house.

I stopped at the promenade half to think about what had just happened. Organize your thoughts.

The other half was because I wanted to see the rooms on the street to see if the stalker I had deduced was once again hiding in the shadows to observe me.

As it turns out, I was wrong!

Anyway, a few people passed me one after another, and they didn't stop to notice me in particular.

People wearing hats are not uncommon in Nanhua Town.

In addition, the hat and veil I wore did not seem exaggerated to strangers, so it would not attract special attention from others.

Someone walked over and elbowed me, and he was honest enough to stop and apologize to me.

Strangely, I went out to follow me back to the inn, and the person hiding in the shadows was watching.

Why is it that now that I am standing closest to him, but he is not moving?

I don't understand, is it because the distance is too close, the other party has concerns because of this?

I quickly walked to my own room.

The moment I entered the door, I habitually swept around the room, and when I approached, I looked closely, not even under the bed.

It's business as usual, no one has ever entered, not even the little mark I've bothered to leave at the door.

If anyone had come in, the means would not have been so clever that the owner of my room would not have found out!

I walked in and sat down in a chair by the window.

Open the window and look out, the sun is gradually setting and the night is beginning to rise.

The streets of Nanhua Town are just like yesterday, and there are still so many people coming and going.

The smell of cooking smoke wafted in the air, the aroma of all kinds of meals, and the number of people setting up stalls on the street at night gradually increased.

In the streets around the inn, the young man told me that the night market is not a climate, and the most lively place is still in the area of the town north market.

I heard that there are many people living in the inn over there, but the house price is much more expensive than here.

As far as the eye can see, those people passing by on the street.

Some of them. It was the townspeople who had already finished their dinner, who came out and walked around at will.

And some of them are just like me. After a while, they walked to the inn where they were temporarily staying.

The house where I live also has people passing by the door of the front yard facing the street.

At this time, even the well platform where water was drawn began to be lively.

Some people bought things from the Zhenbei market, stood by the well platform to draw water and wash, and then stood there talking.

I could smell the aroma of food in the air, and the soup in the big pot in the big kitchen should be ready, just waiting for those people to ask for it!

When the time comes, the master will ask the young man at the inn to help send him over.

The steaming rice has also been cooked. Steamed buns and flower rolls steamed on a steamer.

Perhaps those who are busy in the lobby will add one, which is the shopkeeper of the inn.

I turned around and walked over to the cupboard and took out the powder I had bought from the little pharmacy in town.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy is very careful. Before parting, I was afraid that I would spill the powder when I poured it, and he took care of me.

I reached for the paper bag, walked over to the table, carefully placed it, and opened it.

Other than that. The packets of medicinal herbs I had bought before were placed on the table together. Flattened.

I gently fiddled with the herbs on the table, and inadvertently, the scattered thoughts in my mind were connected by myself.

How could I not have remembered the man in Tsing Yi when I was on the street?

Actually, I've seen him a long time ago!

It's when you stop at a pharmacy to buy medicine!

I heard him smile and say to the shopkeeper in the pharmacy, "Shopkeeper, why can't I come?" “

The man also said, "Although my little brother is gone, there is no sign on your door that I can't come!" “

At that time, in the pharmacy, the shopkeeper's disgusting tone and disdainful attitude were not aimed at that person?

I think about it again. It's like an initiation, so when he arrives at the pharmacy, he will say something that sounds inexplicable to outsiders.

It's all for a reason. The little brother in his mouth is Wu Yu's father, a martial doctor with an excellent reputation in the town!

After a big circle, I regret that I was too sluggish, and my brain is usually better than it is now.

It's all because of the hitchhiking problem, which makes me lose too much energy.

Fortunately, it was solved at this point, so there is no need to think about it again.

So I finally remembered, and the clue became clear!

The bad attitude of the pharmacy shopkeeper, even to me, a stranger, will not behave because the Tsing Yi man himself is a piece of mud that can't support the wall?

As soon as Dr. Wu left, he did something in the town to steal chickens and dogs.

Or even earlier, the man was already famous in town!

Thinking about Dr. Wu's age, it is really hard to explain how old he is, and having such an unconscious big brother!

Putting aside the reasons for the war in the Northland, maybe people fled to South Zealand for the sake of this unsuccessful guy?

I heard that Dr. Wu's family was not originally from Nanhua Town, but they have been here for many years and have gotten along very well with the people in the town.

I think that all three of them left Nanhua Town and went to the south one after another, even the youngest daughter Wu Yu left.

Why didn't the people in Tsing Yi think of following them to the south? Or is he used to life in the town.

The problem is that his life is very bad, and if he has to rely on these tricks to survive, is it inevitable that people are disheartened and deliberately avoided?

I was contemplating when I suddenly heard a voice in the hallway.

I immediately stood up and walked to the door, approaching the door and listening.

A few male voices were talking outside.

"Big brother, why don't we go down now?" One of them asked anxiously.

"What's the hurry, didn't that Master Ding say that there is still a slow-cooked dish, and he wants us to go over later."

The speaker's unhurried tone sounded full of certainty.

The people around him were obviously much more anxious: "The people living next door have gone down, and when we go over later, the fresh food will be ordered." ”

The tone of the person who responded to him was a little surprised: "That's why I made a decision with the inn early in the morning, what are you anxious about at this time?" ”

The two men had barely spoken a few words when footsteps were heard on the other side of the aisle, near the wooden staircase.

Then I heard a familiar voice, a young man rushing to see them.

"You two, please rest assured, our chef Ding said that the most important thing tonight is the table of meals that have been prepared for you."

The young man said in a gentle tone: "As for the other guests, most of them eat something simple here. ”

"You're welcome, I'm not in a hurry, it's all his frizziness."

The one who spoke first said to the young man embarrassedly: "I'm afraid that you have less things to prepare." ”

"It's not much," said the young man calmly, "so make it clear to the other guests that the master can't handle it alone." "We've got a big pot of soup and rice or something," the young man said, changing his tone, "and if they're really not used to it, they can make some noodles or something like that." ”

"Master Ding has a plan in mind, please wait patiently."

The young man had a smile in his tone, and I could tell the expression on his face even if I couldn't see his face through the door.

The footsteps were far away, probably the sound of the young man talking to the guest and leaving.

The two people who stayed in the corridor were silent for a moment, and then one of them asked, "Big brother, the people at the inn are really concerned, and they know that I am in a hurry, so they specially came to say." ”

The people around him didn't answer, and after a pause, he said, "Do you have something to say to us, I look at that little guy and seems to have something to do!" ”

Listening to their conversations, I fully understood the relationship.

Not surprisingly, these two people are the guests of the leather business that the young man told me.

The older of them was indeed very perceptive, and he could even guess the young man's thoughts!

I was inside the door, through the wall, and sighed.

I wasn't sure about it, I didn't think much about it at first, but I was a little worried!

I don't know if I will say yes to them later.

I stood in the room, lowered my head and thought about the confidence in the young man's tone when he told me about these things on the street.

Most of his previous experience with customers has been quite smooth.

His confidence comes from his past experiences.

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, with the kind of cheerful and enthusiastic personality that the young man shows in the inn, it is easy to shorten the distance between people.

Once the distance was closer, it became easier for him to speak.

The two men continued to talk in the hallway, mostly to pass the time with small talk, waiting for the elaborate meal prepared for the evening.

I thought back to the menu that the young man had mentioned to me as I walked down the road, and I would have to go down and prepare it in a little while.

Taking advantage of the little time I had left, I took stock of the medicinal herb packets and medicinal powders on the table.

Tonight's task is to complete what I have to do for that dinner in the evening, but there is another important thing.

It's about tomorrow's trip, and it must be done tonight.

I have to improve that bottle of disguise medicine made by Wu Yu!

I said that when I leave Nanhua Town, I don't plan to continue to wear a hood, and I still have to change my "makeup".

But I also have hesitation about this, and there is no objection to changing the skin color.

Other than that, why not change a little more? (To be continued.) )
