Chapter 33: It's a Black Shop
Xie Xianming suddenly came over and pointed to the ingredients on the list with a smile, "I think you can add some brown sugar, the brown sugar is a good color, and our sorbets are all white, customers can't help but get tired of looking at it." ”
Li Qiuchi slapped his head, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" Mung bean cake, red bean cake, glutinous rice cake...... Such a good pastry can also be used as a selling point! ”
Xie Xianming laughed, his face full of pride, "It's me, it's amazing!" ”
Dinner was spent laughing.
At midnight, Li Qiuchi felt a little anxious, so he hurriedly got up.
"I'm going to die...... Where's the toilet? ”
She opened the door and looked left and right, but she didn't see any place to be respectful, so she staggered downstairs and walked out of the courtyard.
The night was cold, the sky was shining with sparse stars, and the surroundings were also pitch black, only a little bit of darkness supported the night, the surroundings were silent and desolate, and suddenly a breeze swirled, Li Qiuchi felt the chill rise all over her body, and she felt that she was becoming more and more anxious. She stomped her foot and scurried around.
Finally, under her unremitting search, she saw a dark corner. Her eyes lit up, there she was!
She didn't care about anything else, and rushed in with a roar......
Less.
Li Qiuchi walked out of the latrine comfortably, and just as she was about to enjoy the silent night, two dull sounds came from a distance.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise, where did the sound come from on this big night? It can't be a thief, right?
Driven by curiosity and justice, she slowly approached the pavilion near the west, when suddenly a black shadow swept out, and two people fell behind her.
Li Qiuchi was about to shout, and suddenly found that that person turned out to be Chu Jinrong?
Chu Jinrong also turned his head at this time, and saw Li Qiuchi standing a few meters away from him in a daze, and he was also stunned.
After he came back to his senses, he rushed over with a snort, and was about to hug her immediately, his voice was excited, "Li Qiuchi, you are here!" You don't know, I'm almost starving here! ”
Li Qiuchi listened to his tone, and seemed to have a trace of grievance? She looked at Chu Jinrong, his clothes were in tatters, almost stretched, his originally fair face was also covered with ash at this time, and his hair was also unkempt, and those who didn't know thought he had fled.
"Chu Jinrong?" Li Qiuchi took two steps back and called out uncertainly.
"I am! I am! Chu Jinrong's voice was unprecedentedly excited.
Li Qiuchi laughed ruthlessly when he saw Chu Jinrong's body, "How did you become this ghost?" Did you go to be a thief? ”
Chu Jinrong immediately exploded when he heard her words, like a firecracker that had been ignited, "I'm not the owner of this black shop!" When I went in, they robbed me of my money and locked me up for days, and I finally took advantage of the opportunity to escape! ”
"Black shop?" Li Qiuchi's voice was surprised, "You said this is a black shop?" You've been closed by this shop for a few days?! Her voice instantly rose a few degrees.
Chu Jinrong hurriedly covered her mouth, looked around cautiously, and shouted in a low voice: "You be quiet!" They're still around! ”
He suddenly felt that something was wrong, "No, how did you get here?" ”
Li Qiuchi frowned, "I ......"
Suddenly, a scream came from the attic in the distance.
Li Qiuchi was shocked, could it be that something happened to them? hurriedly looked at Chu Jinrong, only to see that Chu Jinrong's eyes were also full of surprise, and he cast a questioning look at her. She hurriedly pulled Chu Jinrong's arm, and her voice was anxious, "Hurry up!" My companion is still there! ”
Chu Jinrong was puzzled and was about to ask, but was forcibly dragged away by Li Qiuchi, his face anxious, "Oops, it's too late to explain!" ”
The two hurried to the attic, but saw two officers and soldiers escorting a person, and after Li Qiuchi saw it clearly, he found that it was the shopkeeper!
I don't know when the outside was already full of people, pointing to the shopkeeper who was being escorted and talking.
"Well deserved! Such a black-hearted shopkeeper should have taken him away a long time ago! One of them snorted viciously.
"What's going on? How could the official master arrest him? ”
"You're from out of town, aren't you? This shopkeeper is not a good person, he does some things like chickens and dogs, and he also makes black money, who will he arrest if he doesn't arrest him? The man next to him sneered.
"God, this person has done all the evil things, why didn't he hear the news of arresting people before?" Someone exclaimed.
"Tsk, this county lord is a newly appointed official, and the new official has three fires in office, so naturally he has to catch someone to stand up. Let's wait and see. ”
Li Qiuchi listened to the discussion of the people outside, and was suddenly a little scared, this county order is coming, what if he sees them and reveals their identities?
She subconsciously looked at Chu Jinrong, and Chu Jinrong also had a dignified look at this time.
At this time, a tall and thin middle-aged man came out of the attic, glanced at the people who were talking, and spoke loudly.
"The official was appointed to Anyang County for the first time, although he didn't know much about the terrain of this place, but the oppression of the people, the eyes of the official can see clearly, so please rest assured, with the official in any day, this Anyang County will not have this kind of dirty and dross for a day!"
Everyone knelt down, and Li Qiuchi also hurriedly pulled Chu Jinrong to kneel, kneeling low, the voice next to him was chaotic and loud.
"Thank you, sir!" "Thank you, sir!"
Taking advantage of the chaos, the two hurriedly slipped out, Li Qiuchi looked at Chu Jinrong's outfit, looked at himself again, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "There is!" ”
She pulled Chu Jinrong and ran again, Chu Jinrong was so dizzy by her tossing and turning, he staggered and was carried away by Li Qiuchi, howling, "Where are we going......?"
Li Qiuchi turned his head and glanced at Chu Jinrong, "Shut up, okay?" ”
Soon they arrived at the attic, and Li Qiuchi lowered his voice, "Let's walk in through the side door." ”
The two of them tiptoed and quietly opened the side door, and only after entering the door did they find that there was no one around, and Li Qiuchi hurriedly closed the door tightly and bolted.
"What are we doing here?" Chu Jinrong looked around, the rouge gouache on the table, the clothes and bedding at the bedside, obviously the guest room where the woman lived. Turning around, seeing Li Qiuchi smiling evilly, he suddenly had a bad premonition, and vigilantly took two steps back to make a protective posture, "What are you doing?" ”
Li Qiuchi was speechless for a moment, and then smiled softly: "Come, come, I'll talk to you about something." ”
"You look so obscene when you laugh." Chu Jinrong looked at her with disgust.
Li Qiuchi's face suddenly fell, and there was danger in his eyes, "What did you say?" ”
