Chapter 171: A Thousand Books for Wage Earners
Several people ate happily for about half an hour, and the aunt, who had been away for a while, came over with a bowl of soup.
"Come, lad, drink while it's hot!"
After my aunt put the soup in her hand in front of me, she said in a comforting tone.
This... I looked at the small bowl in front of me that was full of turnips and green peppers, and the meat I had never seen before. Could it be...
"This... What kind of soup is it? I looked at my smiling aunt with embarrassed eyes.
"Bullwhip soup! But it's been boiling for a long time! I'll go back downstairs to work first, you eat slowly! ”
After my aunt finished speaking quickly with the speed of chanting a mantra, she disappeared in front of our eyes in an instant, without giving me a chance to speak....
Bullwhip soup... I'm not kidney deficient, why drink this! Refuse! Heartfelt rejection!
It was natural to show such an emotion on his face.
"Don't waste food!"
Chen Mio's sharp eyes pierced again, feeling that if I didn't drink this soup, my head would fall to the ground. Even the others looked at it together, especially Sakura, Xiaokui and Chen Wei, who were sitting next to them, stared at the soup in the bowl curiously.
"Brother, I understand you! Green peppers! I don't think green peppers should be on human recipes! So! Brother, come on! ”
The mother sitting next to Xiaokui knocked her naughty little forehead helplessly.
"Green peppers are nutritious! Eat more, too! Saying that, the mother ignored Xiao Kui's desperate eyes, and sandwiched the green peppers on the table one by one into Xiao Kui's bowl.
"Huh~~~!"
Everyone burst out laughing... It's just that in the back, Xiaokui threw the green peppers into her father's bowl according to her usual habits...
Sakura pouted and said in a milky voice: "Baba, you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, Sakura can help you eat it~"
"No, Sakura-chan, you'll get nosebleeds if you drink it!" Chen Mio said with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he threw another threatening look.
Forget it, let's bear with it first!
"Let's talk about it first, I don't drink bullwhip soup because of kidney deficiency! And there are... Murong Ting, you put away your phone first, the food is about to squirt out of your nose. ”
Murong Ting, who was sitting next to Aunt Li and Ye Zi, was almost crazy with laughter... So what's so funny?!
"Xiaomu, you better drink it, after all, it's Xiaoxiang's heart." Aunt Chen said.
And the little fragrance in her mouth should be the nickname of the aunt just now...
"It's just, a bowl of bullwhip soup, for you to hold!"
I glanced at him speechlessly, could it be that my father's nature is actually very bad? It's not much different from Old Man Li? When I looked at Old Man Li, I found that he was serving Aunt Li with a smile on his face, and he didn't even put wine on the table...
Damn, should Old Man Li be tied up by aliens, and then this one in front of him is actually a fake alien?!
With trepidation, I picked up the small bowl on the table...
Well?!
The rich aroma of the beef is mixed with the sweet and spicy taste of the green pepper, which slides into the mouth and nasal cavity along with the Q bomb beef, and the carrot is also soft and fragrant after fully absorbing the beef broth, which has a unique taste.
The refreshing aroma made me breathe a sigh of relief, I really didn't expect it to be so delicious.
After taking such a sip, I couldn't stop at all.
"Huh! Is it that good? Yezi's crisp voice rang in my ears.
At some point, her upper body was already lying on my table, looking at me curiously with her face propped up.
Because she asked this question very suddenly, I nodded subconsciously.
"Then I want it too!"
“???”
"Ahem, ahem!" Chen Mio, who was still taking care of Sakura on the other side, also coughed a few times embarrassedly at this time.
"Yezi, it's better not to drink this, that's not what girls need."
Wow, I didn't expect Chen Mio to understand it very well!
"Anyway, sister, what are you talking about, isn't it just a bowl of tonic soup, why do you talk so much?" Chen Wei said puzzled.
"It's... Xiao Wei, you still don't want to know for the time being..."
"Hey, why sister?!"
Chen Mio didn't look at Chen Wei again, and blushed and picked up the bowl again to feed Sakura with her mouth open.
Then again, since we came to this place, Qianshu has disappeared and has not eaten with us. I looked at the prospective owner of the Thousand Books, Chen Mio.
"By the way, what about Qianshu? Why didn't you see her? ”
"She? It was said that the body of the machine spirit did not need to consume food, so in order to avoid waste, he went shopping. ”
"Shopping? Don't need to eat food? But what happened to the Coke and potato chips we saw over there? ”
“......”
Chen Mio seemed to be aware of this problem, so he closed his eyes speechlessly, and then the familiar white light emanated from his body, which seemed to be in contact with Qianshu.
After a while, she opened her eyes again, and her eyes were full of helplessness.
"What's wrong?"
She said she doesn't like to eat these foods, preferring commercial street snacks and fast food... And then he ran over there. But because I didn't have any money to pay back, I was detained there to work..."
“...”
"Hey..."
"Didn't you give her the money before?"
"There's... Gave her a few thousand dollars, and then she said it was all spent..."
Uncle Chen saw our confused appearance and said, "Do you need my help?" ”
Chen Mio shook his head and said, "Of course I can't let you come forward to help, how can you deal with this kind of thing as a general team?" ”
As he spoke, Mio Chen stood up and said to Aunt Chen, who was sitting next to Sakura, "Mom, you take care of Sakura first, and I'll come when I go." ”
It seems that Chen Mio is thinking about getting the thousand books back by himself.
"I'll go with you."
"No, I'll just go over alone, and the injuries on your body are just right, so just sit here honestly."
"It would be better to have me with you."
"No, I'll be back soon, I won't be in any danger in the third district, don't worry."
Even if I encounter danger, it will be more troublesome, and I know this, so I can only let her go alone.
"Then be careful."
After saying "I know", Chen Mio flew directly away from this lively rooftop and flew in the direction of the commercial street in the distance.
......
On the other side, the Thousand Books.
"What's the matter with you girl?! Will it turn over? It's all black charcoal! "The shouts of the bald shopkeeper standing next to me frightened my hand holding the fork almost to the ground.
Why did the thousands of dollars given by Sister Chen Mio be spent so quickly... I remember I just bought a few figurines... Why is it that there is no money in my wallet by the time I eat... I don't want to work anymore... Sister Mio Chen... Woo woo...
"Why are you still stunned!? Hey, you go to receive guests, I'll do it, clumsy! ”
"Excuse me! Excuse me!! ”
There was also a waitress at the front desk who was also wearing a ponytail and red overalls, with a few pimples on her face that were not particularly noticeable. The shame in my heart after seeing her almost broke my little heart, because she was kind enough to comfort me when I didn't have the money to pay it back just now, but she still reported it to the boss... Woo woo woo~
"Why did you come to the front desk?"
"The boss said I was too stupid and asked me to come to the front desk to collect money..."
She smiled softly, she couldn't be laughing at me for being stupid... Although I know I'm stupid, even fairies used to say that... But it's still so sad, woo woo woo~
"It's okay, don't be sad, it's a little embarrassing for you to let you go to work in the back. The work of the front desk is very simple, I can entertain guests, you are responsible for collecting money... Not much cash is used these days, so all you have to do is stand in front of the white cash register and be the mascot! ”
"Woo woo, are you the fairy sent by heaven to save me?! Thank you, thank you! ”
"Hahaha, no, there are guests here again, I feel good, remember to smile~"
"Okay!" I tried my best to squeeze out a smile as requested, even though I couldn't laugh at it right now... I knew that I would go to dinner with Sister Chen Mio, woo woo~
Just then a man in a black robe walked in, but how could he still have my breath on him?
"Yo!"
Huh! No way!?
