Chapter 90: The first day of the Tang Dynasty
As a boss, how can you be sent by employees at will.
Wu Bencao stood in place, didn't stew soup for Bai Yujing, and retorted: "You drank that bowl just now, it's today's salary, and you're not qualified to drink a second bowl." You go and boil a few pots of hot water, and someone should come to pay their respects later. ”
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and according to the traditional customs of the Tang Dynasty, it is inevitable to visit the New Year. Although under normal circumstances, it is basically the younger generation to greet the elders, but his current status is extraordinary, and he is deeply loved by the people of Goose City, and there must be many people who want to please and get close to him.
Bai Yujing snorted, but didn't go to work immediately, and asked: "Boss, I'm awake now, I can't sleep in the same room with you anymore, you see, should I arrange a new place to live?"
Wu Bencao didn't dislike him yet, but he wasn't happy at first.
"I was just about to explain this to you," Wu Bencao looked up at the courtyard and said, "The shop where we do business is opposite, because of my sister, my life is still here." At present, the room is limited, how about letting you go to the store to make a bunk for the time being?"
He remembered the "Wulin Gaiden" in his previous life, the old white who ran the hall slept in the lobby, and as soon as there was a disturbance, he could be alert and take on the responsibility of taking care of the home. And he lives at home, and he is worried that he can't take care of the store late at night, so it is perfect for this old white to live in.
Bai Yujing nodded, and his reaction was very easy-going, "Okay, I just want to live an ordinary life, I don't have the luxury of fine clothes and food, as long as I can make do with it." You have a female dependent, and it is not suitable for me to live in this courtyard again. ”
At this moment, with a squeak, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Ai stretched his waist and walked out, yawning, revealing a lazy and lovely look.
"Brother, Happy New Year......"
Before Kang Zi could leave, she caught a glimpse of Bai Yujing in the courtyard, was startled, hurriedly ran back to the door, and said timidly: "Brother, when did this person wake up?"
This girl stays at home all day to eat and drink, rarely deals with outsiders, and is more uncomfortable than Wu Materia Medica, which is more suitable for strangers to break into life, and seems extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Wu Bencao sighed and said helplessly: "As long as you eat and drink enough, sleep as fragrant as a pig, and the sky can't wake you up when the sky falls, how can you know what happened at night...... Don't hide, come out and get to know our new buddies. ”
He said in his heart, when you were immersed in a sweet dream last night, your brother was almost strangled to death, and you almost became a real orphan.
Xiao Ai was still hiding behind the door, only poking out the little head, and said cowardly: "New buddy, brother, you want to leave him in the store, why don't you discuss it with me in advance?"
Wu Bencao smiled bitterly, the customer bullied the store, how can this matter be negotiable.
He walked over, dragged Xiao Ai to Bai Yujing, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Bai, she is my sister Wu Xiaoai, and her only relative. You can live or die without me, but I hope that you, as a member of the wormwood bar, can protect her for me in the future, and don't let your regrets happen to me. ”
Bai Yujing's biggest regret is that he failed to protect the person he loves the most, separating yin and yang. And Wu Bencao's wish is to protect Xiao Ai from harm, Bai Yujing has joined the gang, pushing himself and others, and should not watch the same tragedy happen.
Bai Yujing's expression was grim, he didn't answer, and nodded to Xiao Ai to say hello.
Wu Bencao continued: "Xiao Ai, his name is Bai Yujing, and he will be the running buddy of our store in the future. But I hope that you can call him Uncle Bai, respect him as an elder, and don't lose your manners. ”
He so solemnly introduced both parties with deep intentions, hoping that the two could get along in harmony like family. After all, Xiao Ai is still young and can't tell the difference, and he may inadvertently offend Bai Yujing, but I hope the latter can be tolerant and generous, and don't worry about juniors.
Xiao Ai saw that his brother was so serious, so he bowed and saluted, "I wish Uncle Bai a safe and healthy New Year, and all the best." ”
Bai Yujing saw it in his eyes, and a rare smile of relief surfaced, and he was no longer silent, "Boy, even if you know how to be a man, I will shout at you to teach her this Uncle Bai, and I can't bear to see the girl being bullied in the future." I promise your request, and I'll protect her, but ......"
He paused slightly, reached out and stroked his messy white hair in the wind, and said, "I have to add one more condition." Since you want to live an ordinary life, you can't show off. My gray hair is so glaring, and with my one-armed arms, it's hard not to get noticed. ”
In love, after he lost his beloved wife, he turned white overnight. According to his age, he should be at the peak of his vigorous qi and blood, and this appearance is really rare.
"So, you have to help me find a way to restore the long black and thick hair that used to be black in the future. Hear me clearly, I'm talking about restoration, not for you to get dye and hastily dye back to black. ”
Wu Bencao smiled slightly, and happily agreed, "This thing is easy to do, your boss and I opened a store to sell medicinal food, I can't do anything else, I am an expert in this regard, I will buy some He Shou Wu tomorrow or something, and I will give you a pair of medicinal food for hair nourishment!"
Now that he has the Demon Illustrated Book in hand, it is easy to find some medicinal materials to restore his black hair.
The three of them were chatting, and at this time, Wang Xiang pushed the door of the courtyard and entered, and came early to pay New Year's greetings.
If it were in previous years, he would definitely have a fight with Wu Bencao and go to the street to play, but this year is different, he has become Wu Bencao's apprentice, serving as a cook, with this level of status, he can no longer be frivolous and debauched, and he has to worship the New Year in a proper manner.
He kept in mind his grandfather's instructions, and after slightly trimming his clothes, he reached the ground and said respectfully: "I wish the master a healthy New Year, a wide range of financial resources, and a ...... family."
Wu Bencao couldn't stand his etiquette the most, kicked him, and scolded with a smile: "Can you still play happily?
Wang Xiang waited for this, straightened up and laughed, "Xiaocao, there is still the remaining Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, right? Let me taste it, what kind of fairy delicacies is the private dish that your kid made for himself!" My grandfather also instructed me to secretly bring back a little for him!"
Wu Bencao couldn't cry or laugh, turned his head to Bai Yujing and said: "This is my brother Wang Xiang, and he is also the assistant chef in our store, in the future, everyone will be under the same roof, help each other!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiang looked Bai Yujing up and down, and after his eyes swept over his empty sleeve, he said in surprise: "Master, there is a new person in the store......?
He didn't say any more, the implication was that why bother to find a cripple to fill up, wouldn't it be a disservice.
Wu Bencao's face changed slightly, knowing that Bai Yujing had a bad temper, he hurriedly explained: "Xiangzi, close your stinky mouth, don't talk nonsense if your eyes are not good! This Bai Yujing senior has great powers, he can glance at it casually, and even a little greasy will faint!"
On the windowsill, Xiao Ti stared at Wu Bencao's juniors, and screamed resentfully, as if to say, just count how many words you have.
Wang Xiang saw that he was not joking, and his words were full of jealousy of Bai Yujing, and he realized that he had lost his words, and quickly saluted to make amends.
"Senior Bai, I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, I beg you to forgive me! We are all a family, and the future is long, I can help you pinch your legs and beat your back or something in the future, and I am willing to serve!"
He knew that even Wu Bencao was afraid of people, and this weight was definitely quite heavy.
Bai Yujing didn't say anything, beckoned to Xiao Yu, and motioned for him to come over. How dare Xiao Greasy disobey his will and obediently jump into his arms, on the surface docile and cute, but in fact, he was frightened and scared.
Wu Materia Medica, a wonderful chef, Bai Yujing, a foodie with a big stomach, Wang Xiang, a diligent coolie, and the ancient beast is a little greasy, and the first Hu in the Tang Dynasty has made its debut!
