Chapter Twenty-Three: Father and Daughter Join Forces
I heard the shopkeeper Ge continue to speak: "You also know that our business is not very good during this period of time, so the price can't be much higher for you, our cook's monthly money is one tael of silver a month, if you can cook your dishes for us, I will give you two taels of silver a month, how about it?"
Hearing this, An Xiabai sneered in his heart.
This shopkeeper Ge is really a good plan, if she brings her food to the table of the restaurant, then the business of their restaurant will not only increase.
Two taels of silver? Scold......
Although he thought about it like this, An Xia Bai had a grateful look on his face, and said: "Shopkeeper Ge, what you said, it's already very good if you can help me, and I don't have a problem with how much price you offer."
Hearing An Xiabai say this, Shopkeeper Ge nodded with a satisfied smile and said, "Since that's the case, then you can go back with me now and start working today." β
"Okay, no problem." An Xia Bai readily agreed.
Here, Anxia Bai just walked with his front foot, and Lu Li came to the stall with his back foot.
Because the mother and daughter of the Liu family were here yesterday, it was inconvenient for him to say some things, and he thought that he could talk to her this morning, but he didn't expect An Xiabai to leave early in the morning, and he didn't give him a chance at all.
He finally arranged the affairs at home, thinking that he would come to the stall here and discuss it with her, but he didn't expect that there would be no her here at all.
Lu Li couldn't help but frown slightly.
If she's not here, where can she go?
He was a little distracted for a while, and at that moment, he suddenly heard a shout: "Mr. Lu? β
Lu Li turned his eyes and saw the person he bumped into yesterday who was still yelling at him.
Mo Simin originally wanted to come to An Xiabai to help, but she didn't expect her people to disappear along with the stall, but she saw the person Shen Ya said yesterday who was An Xia Baifujun.
She was inexplicably a little happy in her heart, came to Lu Li's face, and said with a smile: "Is Mr. Lu here to find Xia Bai?" β
Lu Li frowned and looked at the delicate woman in front of him, his brows tightened subconsciously, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, you are Xia Bai's friend?" β
"yes!" Mo Simin smiled, "Didn't you find Xia Bai either?" β
Hearing this, Lu Li's brows furrowed even tighter: "Don't you know where she went?" β
"I don't know, I originally wanted to come to help Xia Bai, but I didn't expect to see her, but I met you instead." Mo Simin sighed.
Even she doesn't know?
Lu Li's eyes sank.
Could it beΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
With such an idea in his heart, Lu Li turned around and left.
Seeing Lu Li's reaction, Mo Simin had some doubts in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Lu Li, and asked, "Hey, heyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· What are you doing here? Could it be that you know where Xia Bai is? β
Seeing the person in front of him, Lu Li gritted his teeth slightly, and then said lightly: "Isn't she on good terms with that Shen Ya?" I'll go to the county government to have a look. β
His tone was not kind, and Mo Simin knew that Lu Li must have misunderstood something as soon as he heard it.
She chuckled and said, "I said Mr. Lu, where did you think of it?" Xia Bai wouldn't go to Lord Shen. β
Hearing this, Lu Li's eyebrows tightened and he asked, "Why?" β
"Yesterday, Lord Shen said that he wanted to help Xia Bai, but Xia Bai didn't let him help, and there is nothing to do today, so naturally it is impossible to go to him, so I think it is very likely that she went to the Gejia Restaurant." Mo Simin analyzed very methodically.
Hearing Mo Simin's words, Lu Li's heart was stunned, and he looked at Mo Simin with some doubts: "What the hell is going on, isn't the relationship between Xia Bai and Shen Ya very good, I saw them together yesterday?" β
"They were indeed together yesterday, and I was there at the time," Mo Simin recalled for a moment and explained to Lu Li, "but Mr. Lu, I went to the hospital to buy medicine when you came, so you didn't see me." At that time, Lord Shen was treating Xia Bai's wounds, and there was nothing between the two of them. β
Lu Li's heart tightened, and his brows twisted slightly: "She was injured yesterday?" β
Yesterday, after An Xiabai closed the stall, the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel, and later she didn't even eat dinner and went back to the bedroom and didn't come out again, so Lu Li didn't even notice anything unusual.
"Xia Bai accidentally got a wound from a sharp place when he was cleaning up the stall, and now he estimates that the wound has healed." Mo Simin saw his nervousness and said with a smile.
The wound was fine, Lu Li's heart was put down, and he remembered that An Xiabai's whereabouts were unknown now, and he became nervous again: "Then what happened to the Gejia Restaurant you said?" β
"Didn't Xia Bai mention it to Mr. Lu, Gejia Restaurant is where she often goes to help." Mo Simin said with a puzzled face.
Isn't Xia Bai's husband not having a good relationship with her, otherwise why don't you know so much about her?
I rarely hear Xia Bai mention her husband's affairs, isn't it that these two are not in love together?
"She rarely mentions things outside to me," Lu Li was quite embarrassed, and coughed lightly, "Where is the Gejia Restaurant, girl, is it inconvenient for you to take me over to have a look?" β
It happened that Mo Simin was also hungry, so he took Lu Li to the Gejia Restaurant.
At the same time, An Xia Bai just stood still in the building.
The shopkeeper Ge was obviously prepared, and the position of the cook in the building was put aside for An Xiabai, and as soon as she arrived at the place, he ordered her to do the work.
Where is such a good business to do!
An Xiabai coped, using all kinds of excuses to be lazy and grinding, until a customer outside asked her to cook, she didn't do anything.
The customer named was Su's father, he wanted to go to An Xiabai's stall to eat, but when he went to find that not only was the stall gone, but there was no trace of anyone, so he found Gejia Restaurant, but coincidentally let him find it.
"Is there a cook named An Xia Bai in your building, who just came here today?" After Mo Simin and Lu Li sat down, they called the little maid to inquire about An Xiabai's whereabouts.
She is the only female chef in the restaurant, and she was personally brought back by the shopkeeper Ge, so the little girl is naturally impressed.
"There is indeed such a person in the building, and it is said that the dishes are well done," the little servant replied, "If you two want to ask her to cook, I guess you will have to wait a while, she is busy." β
Knowing that An Xiabai was not in danger, Lu Li relieved his heart: "Miss Mo is not hungry, let's order some food in the restaurant first, since she is busy, let's not order her." β
Mo Simin smiled and said, "I'm embarrassed to eat alone, has Mr. Lu eaten, why don't you join me?" β
Lu Li couldn't refuse, so he nodded.
An Xiabai cooked Su's father's meal and personally sent it to him.
"Why didn't I see you at your booth today?" The wine and food were delivered, but Su's father had no intention of using chopsticks.
After all, he was his father in his previous life, and even if he didn't recognize each other, he still had a sense of intimacy in his heart.
In addition, An Xiabai has been really aggrieved in the past two days, so he couldn't help but tell everything in front of him.
Father Su clenched his fists when he heard this, and the strength was so great that even the joints of his bones turned white.
"They are really deceitful, they can't do it and ruin your business if they ask for money!" Father Su couldn't help but want to complain about An Xiabai.
An Xiabai lowered her head, sighed and didn't speak.
Her appearance became more and more distressed in Su's father's eyes: "They probably saw that you had no father, no mother and no one to support them, so they dared to be so presumptuous, why don't you do this, I'll help you?" β
"Can you help me?" An Xiabai looked puzzled.
I have the impression that my father has been running around for the family's affairs, and he has never been seen to work on family chores, but I didn't expect him to do this?
Father Su nodded confidently: "It's not that I'm talking nonsense, when I get older, I will experience a lot of things, and I can naturally cope with trivial family matters." β
"That's great, I'll thank you in advance!" An Xiabai said happily.
Looking at the undisguised joy on her face, Su's father felt sour in his heart, if his daughter was still there, it was estimated that her personality would be similar to her.
Alas, it's really a trick.
An Xiabai wanted to wait for Su's father to eat the wine and food before going, but Su's father was anxious, and after eating in three or two bites, he urged him to take him home.
It happened that it was also dark, and An Xiabai told the shopkeeper Ge that he had to go back first if he had something at home.
Shopkeeper Ge nodded with a smile, and also told An Xia to be careful on the road, this kind appearance did not look like a calculating person at all.
Sure enough, it is the hearts of the people who are separated from the belly, An Xiabai silently complained in his heart.
When An Xiabai took Su's father back to the house, Lu Li hadn't come back yet, and Liu seemed to have prepared a meal in advance to please him, but when the food was cold, there was no one to see, and finally until the person came back, but when he opened the door, he saw An Xiabai, and immediately blackened his face: "Why did you come back and bring back a strange man?" Who is he? β
Father Su was originally following An Xiabai, but when he heard the voice, he took two steps forward and protected the person behind him: "I am her relative." β
An Xiabai only entered the door after being separated, and Liu heard that Father Su was her relative, so he didn't doubt it when he had doubts in his heart: "You came back so late, didn't you fool around with a wild man outside?" β
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by fooling around with people outside, you don't seem to see your status clearly," An Xiabai smiled coldly, "This is my home, I can go home whenever I want, my husband didn't say anything about me, you are an outsider, what are you fooling in?" β
"IβAm I not worried about you?" Liu's anger weakened by half.
An Xiabai didn't speak, but looked around Liu's front and back, left and right, raised his eyebrows and said: "Sister-in-law, didn't you say yesterday that you fell and injured your waist after being pushed by me, why is your whole life alive now, and you don't look like a patient at all?" β
Liu Shi hurriedly covered his lower back, and screamed: "I didn't feel any pain just now, I was angry with you!" β
Father Su looked at Liu with concern, and then proposed, "I happen to know how to use medical skills, since your waist is not very comfortable, why don't I help you take a look?" β
