Chapter 270: Wu Man
A jubilant New Year has passed, and all people and things have grown a year older, especially Chen Jiacheng, who is ready to get married in the first month, and I can't wait for Pei Yao to be one year older, so that the marriage can be a hole, otherwise... Alas, if you can see it or not, it's all tears when you think about it!
The restaurant opened just after the tenth day of the first lunar month, and Pei Yao went to Wu Man's to help when she was idle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But now after all, it is winter, and it often snows heavily to block the official roads, so that everything depends on artificial ancient traffic, which is called a difficulty, and it is almost rare.
At this time, the benefits of living in the city are reflected, at least there is no problem in visiting various shops in the city, it will not be like Pei Yao and them, if they want to go out, they have to walk on their feet and wade through the snow, and the carriage or something can't walk at all, and the wheels are covered by the snow before they go out a few steps, and the horses can't walk.
The snow didn't fall much a year ago, all from the day of the New Year, almost never stopped, a few snows of all sizes, wrapped in the whole land of mountains and rivers are white, wrapped in silver.
I still have aesthetic fatigue after watching too much of the beautiful ice and snow world, and every day I see everything is white, and I am about to become blind.
I didn't want Wu Man to open a shop so early, after all, it is always snowing and it is difficult for pedestrians to walk, who is opening a shop for to eat, but it is rare for her to insist on going her own way: "There are always passing merchants who have no place to eat, and there are repeat customers from the town and county, and the left and right things are frozen, and there are guests who can cook it in time." ”
Seeing that she was serious, Pei Yao couldn't stop her from being so enthusiastic, and thought that she was embarrassed to receive so many red envelopes during the New Year, and wanted to earn money early to repay them.
However, rattan shops are not in a hurry to open, they can't pass carriages, they can't build buildings, and rattan and varnish are temporarily in the off-season, so everyone stays at home to stock up on the hot business after the spring.
This year's varnish has spread a lot of territory, I'm afraid that many carpenters will come to order, or the more prepared the better, anyway, it can't be broken.
And Pei Yao taught Wu Shu how to make a rattan bed and then left it alone, she finally raised tender little hands, but she didn't want to compete with the vines, the old rattan master, the finger knots are thick and deformed, or it's better to have nothing to do and make food.
The restaurant began to open, and there was no one for the first two days, and slowly one day one table or several tables came to eat, because there were few people, so the shopkeeper and the guy didn't call them to come, but Pei Yao and Wu Man and Jiajia were here to support, and occasionally Chen Jiacheng and Ge Hao would come over to take a look, but they were completely busy.
Gradually, Pei Yao discovered a strange thing, from the day of the opening of the business, a young man who looked like a scholar came to eat every three or five days.
I don't order any expensive meals, just a bowl of rice and a side dish, usually a dozen wen is enough.
And every time he came, as soon as he heard the food ordered, Wu Man would run out to serve him food, without pretending to be Pei Yao or Jiajia's hand, if you want to say that there is nothing between the two of them, Pei Yao doesn't believe anything.
The scholar looked polite, about the same height as Ge Hao, medium height. Every day, I wear a set of thin cotton clothes, and the outside is a washed white light green robe, with a white face and no beard, a thin face but a fairly thoughtful appearance, but occasionally the look in my eyes is more active, and there is no pedantic bookishness on the outside.
Pei Yao has seen too many scholars like Zhaoting and Ge Hao, but she is a little uninterested in this stranger, as if she is always almost something.
However, you can't look at people on the surface, if this person is really good, Pei Yao also supports Wu Man, and when she is about to get married, she will return the deed of sale to her as a wedding gift, after all, the one or two silver that they bought their sister and brother at the beginning, now I am afraid that they will not know how many times the original cost, and they don't owe it to themselves.
What's more, even if the prisoner still has a free period, his sister and brother are still good friends!
Thinking like this, Pei Yao helped Wu Man observe the scholar.
One day at noon, the scholar appeared in the restaurant on time, Pei Yao decisively did not notify Wu Man, who went to the toilet, and directly served the meal to the scholar.
The scholar was reading a book in the bright seat by the window, and when he saw the food in front of him, he kept smiling and looked up, and when he saw that it was not Wu Man but one of the two girls who often sat at the counter, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and he nodded politely to Pei Yao and said, "Thank you, girl!" ”
Pei Yao didn't leave after delivering the food, he ate alone in the whole restaurant, Pei Yao was not afraid of others seeing, and asked directly as if chattering: "Doesn't anyone cook at home, I see that you always come to eat alone?" ”
The scholar's face darkened and said: "My family is alone, I usually have to bury my head in hard study and study, and I have to make a living, if it weren't for the food here is really enough, I wouldn't come to eat this meal in a day." ”
Pei Yao listened to his answer very slippery, and she didn't look ashamed of her family at all, but seemed to win sympathy, and frowned slightly: "You mean you only eat one meal a day?" ”
The scholar smiled and nodded, and there was no embarrassment, but Pei Yao couldn't see through it.
At this time, Wu Man had already returned from the backyard, tidied up and came to the lobby of the restaurant, saw Pei Yao standing in front of the scholar's desk, a panic flashed in her eyes, and hurriedly walked over and said: "Sister Yao, where is you using such a little person, I'll come." ”
Pei Yao saw her blocking her, so she didn't want to say anything more, glanced at the scholar who seemed to have a smile engraved on her face, nodded to him and went back to the counter.
Wu Man breathed a sigh of relief, turned his back to the counter and whispered something to the scholar, the voice was so small that Pei Yao and Jiajia, who were in the same quiet lobby, couldn't hear it clearly, only to see the scholar nodding and shaking his head for a while, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
Pei Yao and Jia Jia looked at each other, this is really heartfelt, I don't usually see Wu Man so close to anyone, optimistic about a poor scholar?
Jiajia sat on the counter and was studying the small shell handicrafts, a little monkey holding a longevity peach ornaments have a prototype, and they still need to be carefully pasted and processed, seeing Wu Man like this, she poked Pei Yao with her elbow and whispered: "Sister Yao, I think Wu Man is really interested, what's so good about the scholar, she is as old as me this year, she is only fourteen years old, and she has someone she likes?" ”
Pei Yao shook her head and said that she didn't know, she only found out such a person when it opened in the past few days, but it seems that the two of them have known each other for a long time, I am afraid that he and Wu Man have been familiar with each other in the few months since the opening last year.
Jiajia pursed her lips and shrunk her head and whispered to Pei Yao's ear: "He doesn't look as good as my brother, not as good as Ge Hao and Li Jun, and even Zhao Gongzi and Yan Wenxuan can't compare, I really don't know what she likes about that poor scholar?" ”
Pei Yao smiled dumbly, this girl has a high vision!
Look at the few people she mentioned, they are almost the best among the young descendants, don't you think that men are like this?
