Chapter 47: Encounter Again
Qingxue hesitated, but still stepped into the store.
This store is not big, so there are four or five square tables, and there are a lot of customers in the store, and each one is seated.
looked at the woman suspiciously, there were no empty tables in the store, what were you inviting in? The woman seemed to see Qingxue's doubts, smiled mysteriously, beckoned to her, and motioned for Qingxue to follow her.
The woman led Qingxue through the tables, all the way back, lifted a flower curtain, and there was a small courtyard. The yard is not big, the most conspicuous is a tree in the middle of the yard, it looks a little old, the branches and leaves cover the sky above the small courtyard, in the hot weather at the end of June, but it is rare to leave a trace of shade.
When the curtain was lifted, Qingxue smelled a stronger fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and only then did she know that there was such a big osmanthus tree in this yard.
Under the osmanthus tree, a stone table was placed, and several low stools made of stone piers were wiped clean, and the woman motioned for Qingxue to sit down at the stone table, and brought tea into the house, and she also sat down at the table, poured two cups of tea, and the tea was fragrant, so she smiled and said, "Come, try the osmanthus tea I dried"
Although the tea fragrance was tempting, Qingxue only glanced at it, did not move, nor did she take off her veil, but looked at the woman and asked tentatively, "You are the boss here?" β
"Yes, I'm the boss here, my name is Osmanthus, everyone calls me that, you can call me that, you can call me that" After the proprietress finished speaking, she glanced at her, and took a sip of her teacup.
Qingxue nodded and continued to ask, "Then why did you call me here?" β
"No, I just saw you stop in front of my house, and I think I was also attracted by the fragrance of my osmanthus flowers. At this time of the year, there will be outsiders looking for fragrance to come to me, you can find the fragrance here, how can you let you go in vain? That's why I stopped you just now," the proprietress rubbed the teacup in her hand, looked at Qingxue and said with a smile.
"Your business here seems to be very good, the front is full of people, it's hard for you to notice me! I also had nothing to do, looking on the street, attracted by a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and came here. I saw the osmanthus wine drunk by the guests in the hall, which had a strong aroma, but I was not good at drinking, so I thought about leaving."
"Well, actually, I not only have osmanthus stuffed here, but also some small snacks I make myself, like this osmanthus tea, as well as osmanthus cake, osmanthus cake, rock sugar osmanthus porridge and the like, do you want to try it?"
Qingxue glanced at the small courtyard, the environment here is very beautiful, eating here, it is really refreshing, but this is for people to rest, and it does not belong to the place where guests are entertained in front, so it seems a little inappropriate.
Although I was moved, I still said to the proprietress "Here?" You still have to go to the front to entertain guests, I don't seem to be right here, let's go to the front lobby."
"Alas, what the girl said, my little broken courtyard, that is, the environment is quite elegant, it is worth a person like you to sit on, I am afraid that you will not be able to move me away?
That's where those reckless men stayed, how could a girl like her sit with them? Don't look at you wearing a veil, I don't know why, I just saw you at the door, and I felt like I fell in love with you. You sit here with peace of mind, I'll buy you food, the first time you come, I won't ask you what you eat, just watch it for you, what do you say? As she spoke, the proprietress put down the teacup, stood up, saw Qingxue nodding, turned around and entered a room next to her, thinking that it was the back kitchen.
Qingxue took off her veil, picked up the osmanthus tea that the proprietress had poured for her just now, put it under her nose and sniffed it, it was really fragrant. Although I was wary in my heart, I thought about it, I just came here, and I didn't offend anyone, and the proprietress here didn't hurt her, maybe just like the proprietress said just now, then I really spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Suddenly, the flower curtain was lifted again, accompanied by the voice of the shopkeeper, "Oh, I said, there are really people inside today, the old helper personally led it in, you still have to wait outside firstγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Obviously, the person who came did not listen to him, and had already walked in, and listening to the voice, there should be three people. One of them also said to the shopkeeper, "Who can let Sister Hua entertain her personally, I really haven't seen it."
Qingxue was facing away from the door over there, so naturally she couldn't see who came in, and she didn't move, thinking that the people who came in would definitely quit by themselves when they saw that there were already people here, as for who could get in here, Qingxue wasn't interested in knowing what they looked like.
It's just that there was no sound of departing footsteps behind me, but I heard someone shouting in confusion, "Miss Mo?" β
Qingxue also felt that the voice was very familiar, and when she turned her head to look, she saw that it was Xiao Hongchen, Long Yunfei, and Feng Mo who were standing at the door, and it was Xiao Hongchen who called her just now. Seeing that it was the person who helped her yesterday, Qingxue also had a smile on her face, stood up and nodded at them, and said, "Laughing boy, Feng boy, you guys also come over to eat?" When the shopkeeper looked at it, it was obvious that these two groups of people knew each other, so he went back to the front to work.
The three of them were a little stunned, Qingxue didn't know what was wrong, looked at them with a puzzled face, and then looked at herself, and then remembered that she didn't wear a veil. They hadn't seen themselves without a veil, thinking that they hadn't reacted, Qingxue smiled and quipped, "What, you don't know without a veil?" β
After speaking, he felt a little abrupt, although he knew that he had seen them in reality, but in the eyes of Xiao Hongchen and Feng Mowen, that is, they had met once yesterday, and Long Yunfei, who was a little dark, had not officially seen it. Usually I definitely don't like this, and now I feel a bit like 'meeting an old friend in a foreign country', although it's just that she remembers people, and people don't necessarily know her, but I still feel closer from the heart.
Xiao Hongchen was the first to come back to his senses, a few of them usually come here to eat, and they are also very familiar with the proprietress , so the proprietress let them drink, eat, and talk about things inside, and occasionally sit down to chat with them.
It's a quiet place, and they don't have to worry about being disturbed, so they come and sit when they have something to do.
That's the case today, Feng Mowen and Long Yunfei participated in the competition yesterday, they were very tired, and today I just came over to relax. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper stopped them, saying that there was someone inside, or a person who had never been here, and the proprietress led people into the courtyard, which aroused their curiosity even more, so they broke in. I just want to see what kind of people they are, they were allowed to come in because they were familiar with the proprietress in the first place.
I didn't expect to come in and take a look, Xiao Hongchen felt that this back was familiar, isn't this the Mo Qingxue from yesterday? But after all, it was the back, and it was not too familiar, not very sure, Xiao Hongchen called tentatively, and when the man turned around, Xiao Hongchen was ready to see the white veil, but he didn't expect Mo Qingxue to wear a veil at all.
With clear eyes and beautiful faces, he looked at them with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet them, which was not at all like the cold appearance he usually looked like in front of people, and Xiao Hongchen was a little stunned.
It wasn't until the clear eyes looked at them with questions that Xiao Hongchen came back to his senses, coughed awkwardly, and said with a smile, "It's really Miss Mo, I thought I was wrong just now, I didn't expect to meet again today" Xiao Hongchen bit the word 'meeting' very hard, because this was the first time they had seen someone's appearance.
Feng Mowen also came back to his senses, and greeted Qingxue with a smile, "It turned out to be Miss Mo, we were still talking just now, who has such a big face and can work as a boss lady?"
Long Yunfei asked on the side, "What, you know each other?" I don't know, when did you two meet such a beauty, tell me honestly"
Feng Mowen whispered to him, "This is the girl I told you about yesterday."
"Oh, I know" Long Yunfei said, stepped forward, hugged his fists at Qingxue and smiled, "Miss Mo, right, in Xia Long Yunfei, I was competing in the ring yesterday, and then I heard them talk about it, it's okay, there will be such a thing in the future, you just open your mouth"
Long Yunfei's skin is slightly darker, his figure is relatively tall, and his appearance is quite honest, and he looks more sunny when he smiles. Qingxue didn't feel so unfamiliar, and said to him with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Qingxue thanked him first."
The proprietress heard the movement and walked out as well. Seeing that Xiao Hongchen was talking to Mo Qingxue, he smiled at Long Yunfei and said, "Yo, who did I say, it's a few of you, why do you know this girl?" The proprietress said, looking at Qingxue, only to find that Qingxue had taken off her veil. The proprietress looked at Qingxue with a smile, "Just looking at those eyes just now is full of aura, I thought the girl's appearance was not much worse, but I didn't expect it to be such a peugeot girl"
"Boss, you have won the award" There were a few big boys standing next to her, Qingxue was a little embarrassed to be said, and hurriedly lowered her head.
The proprietress still smiled and said, "Yo, I'm sorry."
Xiao Hongchen also said on the side, "We and Miss Mo only met yesterday, Sister Osmanthus, you can get us some food first, by the way, Osmanthus wine can't be missing, let's talk later."
The proprietress saw that Qingxue was not displeased, and knew that she agreed that the three of them would stay and eat together, so she responded to Xiao Hongchen's words and said, "Okay, you sit down first, this tea is cold, I'll make you another pot first, wait."
After speaking, he glanced at Qingxue's teacup that had not been touched, and put it back with his hands and feet. Qingxue originally wanted to say that there was no need to change it, the water was still warm and could be drunk, but when she saw that the proprietress had taken it away, she didn't say it.
The four of them sat down again, a little embarrassed for a while, and didn't know what to say. Qingxue thought for a while, how to say that Xiao Hongchen also helped herself yesterday, so today's meal should be regarded as a thank you to him, so she said, "Thank you yesterday, I will invite you for this meal today"
"No, no, we three big men, how can we let you pay the bill, I also heard about it yesterday, they didn't do anything, how can they let you break the bank, count it as mine today" Long Yunfei said boldly, he didn't have his share in that matter yesterday, if he asked Mo Qingxue to invite, wouldn't he become a person who came to eat, so how could it, a man must not be able to do this.
Xiao Hongchen followed the trend and didn't ask anything, and several people rushed to have a treat, this kind of shirk scene, Qingxue was very uncomfortable, and his face was not very good for a while. But I saw the proprietress coming over with a tea tray and shouted, "Okay, okay, don't fight, I invited you today, it's not a lot of money, you say you are worth it." But let's say it first, I'm inviting this girl, a few of you, it's a spare."
Long Yunfei heard what the proprietress said, hurriedly stepped forward to take the tea tray, and said with a smile, "Sister Osmanthus, if you are serious, then we are welcome."
"Go, go, I'm going to be Sister Osmanthus now, not called Aunt Osmanthus?" The proprietress glanced at Long Yunfei with disdain, and said angrily.
"You are so young and beautiful, who dares to call you aunt?" Long Yunfei didn't care about the tone of the proprietress and continued to flatter.
The proprietress gave him a blank look, said nothing, turned and went into the kitchen again. Long Yunfei put the tea tray on the table, poured the tea, put it in front of everyone, and put the two small snacks in the tray on the table, and then sat down.
Qingxue saw the conversation between the three of them and the proprietress and seemed to be very familiar, so she was able to enter here. And what about yourself? What kind of person is the proprietress, will it be because she is too careful? Qingxue asked tentatively, "You guys seem to know the boss very well?" β
