Chapter 220: A dilemma between the past and the present

"If it weren't for the kung fu I had learned for a few years, these two bottles of yuzu sauce would have been a waste."

Mu Xiyao helplessly waited for the sound of the bottle breaking did not come. What came from his ears was Xiao Wan's joking voice.

"Ahh Sister Wan..."She opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Wan embarrassedly. The slimy feeling in his hand still existed, and he clearly told Mu Xiyao that there were two bottles of grapefruit sauce in his hand before.

And Xiao Wan had already put the bottle back on the cup and plate in Ning'er's hand. "Don't think that's all there is to it. Lemon. ”

"Hmm... Yes! When Ling'er saw the two bottles of sauce that were almost broken, her heart tightened, and she felt full of despair. I didn't expect Sister Wan to save her.

Xiao Wan shouted to her, and she came back to her senses.

"Why are you thinking so enthralled?" Xiao Wan smiled slightly.

"I... I'm thinking that the bottle shattered, and I... What am I going to do. OK... Fortunately, Sister Wan is here..."Ling'er felt the power in her hand, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, it didn't break, otherwise, I would have to pay for it.

"Don't do it, just deduct the money." Xiao Wan said lightly.

"Huh? What the?! Ling'er and Mu Xiyao's eyes widened. This... Didn't the bottle break? Why do you want to deduct money?

"Are you confused? Why is the bottle not broken, but the money is deducted? ”

The two nodded repeatedly.

"That's because I'm here." Xiao Wan looked at them. "What if I'm not there?"

Mu Xiyao looked at Ning'er with apologetic eyes: "Yes... I'm sorry, Lemon. It was me who was reckless,"

"I'm at fault, too," Lemon sighed, "I should have been reminded of you." By the way, I don't seem to know what to call you yet? ”

"Call me Xi'er." Mu Xiyao stuck out the tip of her tongue embarrassedly.

"Well, okay, Xi'er."

"Aren't you tired of holding it? Do you want to change me? ”

"I'm not tired, I'm okay."

"Oh..."

"You two." Xiao Wan was a little speechless. Why did the two of them forget about her and talk to themselves?

"Huh? Sister Wan! ”

"Ling'er, you say, how much does a bottle of grapefruit sauce cost?"

Ning'er was stunned for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "Five... Fifty taels of silver..."Sister Wan, what are you going to do?"

"What about the two bottles?"

"Fifty... Fifty... Add fifty... Be... How much is it, Sister Wan? ”

"One hundred taels of silver, that is, ten taels of gold..."Speaking of this, Xiao Wan deliberately paused and looked at Ning'er's reaction.

"Ten taels... Gold..."Sure enough, hearing this, Ling'er's little face instantly turned pale. She kept muttering this sentence,

It's like losing my soul.

Mu Xiyao was a little strange. Isn't it that a cup of tea here can be sold for ten taels of gold? Isn't it something that can be solved with a cup of tea? So how did she react so much?

"Xi'er." Xiao Wan shouted Mu Xiyao again.

"Huh?! I'm here! ”

"Do you know how we give them money here?"

"How?" Mu Xiyao really didn't know.

"Let's put it this way, if you sell a cup of tea for ten taels of gold, then the person who sells the tea will get four taels of gold. And if a cup is not sold, then there is only the most basic pocket money of five taels of silver. Xiao Wan seemed to be saying something very ordinary.

At this time, Mu Xiyao realized a very serious matter! She asked with some trembling, "That... Sister Wan... Then my usual ..."

"Five taels of silver." Xiao Wan smiled and stretched out five fingers. "Remember, it's a month! After all, you don't even know the most ordinary things, how dare you sell tea? You're not going to scare my guests away, aren't you? ”

“... Yes..."Mu Xiyao replied helplessly. She was very frustrated and asked again: "Then I... Sister Wan, how much will you deduct from me? ”

"Most of the responsibility is on you, and you bear seventy percent, which is the price of seven taels of gold. As long as you're done paying this back, you'll be able to revert back to the days of receiving your monthly pocket money. How, convinced? ”

"I..."Can Mu Xiyao say unconvinced? The answer is definitely no.

"I know, Sister Wan." Ling'er replied. She wanted to look up to the sky and sigh. Three taels of gold! How many cups of tea do you have to sell to pay it off!

"That's... I'm sorry... I really know it's wrong. Mu Xiyao's two hands were stirred together, and she was at a loss and had nowhere to put it.

"Forget it, we've been talking for so long, and I'm too anxious to wait downstairs. Let's go, I'll teach you how to make honey grapefruit tea. Ling'er sighed helplessly, and carefully carried the cup and plate down the stairs.

Mu Xiyao followed behind her awkwardly.

Neither of them spoke much.

...

"Why did you go so long? Those who are in charge are in a hurry! Chi saw Lemon and walked over directly and reprimanded.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, something was delayed before..."Ning'er apologized again and again.

"Alright, let's go get the tea out. Otherwise, it will leave a bad impression on those people, be careful that Sister Wan will settle accounts with you! ”

"Uh-huh, okay! I'll go right away! By the way, Xi'er, you and I will bring the grapefruit tea to the innermost room later, you know? Ling'er looked at Mu Xiyao.

"Okay, I got it." Mu Xiyao followed behind Ning'er and agreed.

Xi'er?

Red blinked in confusion. When did such a number one person come out? Who is she?

She didn't remember Mu Xiyao's figure at all.

Forget it! I'm so busy today, let's go and get busy first, no matter who she is! As long as you don't mess around!

"Hey! Red girl! Why hasn't the fish we ordered come yet! ”

"It's coming, it's coming! We're rushing! Do you want to drink tea first? ”

"Drink fart! The officials are almost filled! Catch the fish! Don't you see that the national teachers are in a hurry?! ”

Filled? Fuck you!

Chi cursed quietly in his mouth, but his face was full of smiles.

Ye Liangbei in the room was a little helpless. He waved his hand, "That... Wu... Wu what? ”

The clamoring Wu Dezhi immediately changed his face, rubbed his hands together and walked up to Ye Liangbei with a smile, and asked, "Xiaguan Wu Deai." That one... National teacher, what's the matter? ”

"You call your people out first, my wife is a little tired." Ye Liangbei glanced at Mu Xiyuan distressedly, and complained a little. "Why haven't you ordered the honey grapefruit tea yet?"

"Forget it, husband, don't be impatient." Mu Xiyuan gently stroked the back of his hand.

"Well..."

Wu De was so sick that he shouted everyone out, and when he finally went out by himself, he gently brought the door over.

...

Woohoo.

"Come in."

Ye Liangbei pouted. Is it that group of old boys who are looking for something wrong with themselves?

"That's... The yuzu tea you ordered has arrived. ”

"Oh, come on in then!"

"Husband... You say, why are they so busy today? ”

"It's not because they want to please us both that they're keeping them busy."

Mu Xiyao, who was outside the door, was about to open the door and go in, when she heard this familiar voice, her heart jumped violently.

This... Isn't this the voice of the third sister? This is the room of the national teacher... Don't... Could it be that she is the wife of the national teacher? ... Oh, my God! Embarrassed to death!

She turned around and wanted to run, but when she saw Ning'er behind her, she could only stop awkwardly.

"Let's go in." Ning'er gently nudged Mu Xiyao.

Mu Xiyao had no choice but to bite the bullet, holding the tray with one hand and pushing open the door with the other.

She could only pray that the veil on her face would do a good job.

Don't recognize me! Million!

Ye Liangbei glanced at Mu Xiyao who came in suspiciously, and asked, "What are you doing with your head down?" Keep your head up. ”

Mu Xiyao trembled and slowly raised her head.

Speaking of which, Ye Liangbei didn't have much of a deep impression of Mu Xiyao in his mind. He just sighed: "A girl who looks quite peugeot, why do you lower your head and stubbornly lower her temperament." ”

Mu Xiyao's heart was relieved.

She walked in front of the two of them, bending

He lowered his waist and put two cups of grapefruit tea on the coffee table in front of Ye Liangbei. After a slight glance, he found Mu Xiyuan's stunned expression, and that gaze was still fixed on her veiled face.

Mu Xiyao's heart was flustered.

No... Didn't you get recognized?

"Thank you, this... Well, my sister's tea. Mu Xiyuan calmed down the turmoil in her heart, gracefully held the handle of the cup, and thanked Mu Xiyao.

"How do you know it's a sister and not a sister?" Ye Liangbei asked playfully, "The veil is covered, and I can't tell the age, it's better to..."

Syllable! A bang.

Mu Xiyuan patted the back of his hand lightly and said softly: "Forget it, others should have a hard time covering them with veils." Am I right? Sister... Sister? She also deliberately put the last two words a little heavily.

Mu Xiyao's heart only felt that it was about to pop out. Fine sweat broke out on her forehead, and she hurriedly said, "Country... Mrs. Guoshi is right..."

"Alright, stand down, we're going to rest." Ye Liangbei didn't notice anything wrong. He just waved his hand to Mu Xiyao and said indifferently.

"It's... Be... You... You have a good rest. Not! Mu Xiyao walked in a panic, and her toes stomped directly on the corner of the table.

You don't have to think about it to know that it must be hurt. She didn't dare to stop, and hurriedly went out and closed the door.

I could still hear the doubts in the room: "What is she doing so fast?" ”

"I should have seen the national teacher, nervous, right?"

"Alright, ma'am, we should go to bed..."

"Ahem... You pay attention... Hmm...."

Mu Xiyao's face turned pale. She was so frightened that she ran to a no-man's corner and leaned against the wall.

She only felt that her heart was about to jump out, and her limbs were weak to the point of weakness. Gradually, he collapsed to the ground and sat on his knees, buried his head in front of his chest, hugged the back of his head with both hands, and sobbed quietly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Wonderful!
