Chapter 147: Sea of Fire
"There are Xiaolin and Zhou Bin here." Qi Yan said, "It's going to be fine." ”
"Yes!" Full Moon said, "Brother Xiaolin and Brother Zhou Bin are very reliable!" ”
Qi Yan couldn't help but smile.
Not to mention, Xiaolin and Zhou Bin, especially Zhou Bin, he is worthy of being Zhang Zhiyuan's nephew, and his business talents are in the same line, and the bookstore is much more worry-free because of him.
"This bookstore is too easy to open...... Qi Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"Where's the easy?" Full Moon said, "The young lady is busy getting up early and staying up late! ”
Qi Yan rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Then you haven't seen how other people open shops." ”
Full Moon stuck out her tongue: "I've been following the young lady." ”
Qi Yan smiled: "Okay, go to the bookstore."
"Eun!"
…………
…………
The master and servant stayed in the bookstore until dusk, and Xiao Man reminded Qi Yan in a low voice: "Young lady, it's not early." ”
Qi Yan glanced at the sky outside and nodded: "Yes, it's time to go back." ”
"Boss, you wait." At this moment, Xiao Lin walked over, he scratched the back of his head, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
"Is there something wrong?" Qi Yan asked.
"That's right...... Miss Qi, I want to ask you for leave tomorrow. Kobayashi said, "I have something at home, I need to go back." ”
"Okay." Qi Yan nodded.
"Thank you boss!" Kobayashi thanked him excitedly.
Qi Yan smiled.
"Brother Xiaolin, you won't come tomorrow." At this time, Zhou Bin leaned out from behind the bookshelf, sighed, and said, "Then tomorrow will be me, ahhh......h I'm going to be busy......"
"What are you?" Full Moon said, "Isn't there still a boss with me?" ”
Zhou Bin raised his forehead: "Little Full Moon, you first learn to recognize the placement and classification of these books......"
The store has been open for a while, but the full moon just can't remember the classification and location of these books, and Zhou Bin teased her a lot about this.
Full Moon blushed: "So many, one by one!" I need time! ”
"But I and Kobayashi both remember it." Zhou Bin continued to tease her, "Oh, the boss also remembers." ”
The full moon wants to cry without tears.
"Alright." Qi Yan smiled helplessly and said, "Don't tease her." ”
"Boss......" Full Moon slumped her shoulders, "how do you remember it?" So many numbers, so many classifications, and numbers......"
"Me?" Qi Yan said, "Because there are numbers, it is natural to remember them." ”
It's good that I don't listen to the full moon, but I'm even more depressed when I hear it.
Qi Yan smiled and rubbed her head: "Don't worry, remember slowly, I have time anyway." ”
"But there's been a lot of guests lately...... I want to remember it quickly......" Full Moon muttered, seemingly complaining, but in fact, the little maid was very happy in her heart.
"Don't really say it." Qi Yan said, "There are indeed a lot of customers recently. ”
Full Moon was very proud and said, "That's the book that everyone knows that our bookstore bought, the printing is good, the content is interesting, and the key is that it is very cheap!" So come to us! ”
"There's a reason for that, of course." Zhou Bin said, "But the biggest reason is that the bookstore on the north corner has closed down." ”
"Huh?" The full moon blinks.
She didn't know about it.
Mo said that it was a full moon, and even Qi Yan didn't know that the two of them entered the bookstore, and they walked through the south gate, and the closed bookstore was in the north.
Zhou Bin said: "It seems that the boss provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with, and then the bookstore couldn't be opened." ”
"Who did you mess with?" The full moon is curious.
Zhou Bin shrugged, glanced at Qi Yan and said, "I don't know either." ”
"But, I have to say!" Kobayashi interjected, "That bookstore is quite large, and now most of the customers over there are coming to our store." ”
"So, Brother Xiaolin, you won't come tomorrow......" Zhou Bin said quietly, "You know how tired I am." ”
Full Moon puffed out her cheeks: "It's all said, there is me!" ”
The rest of the people laughed.
…………
…………
"Alright, alright, let's go home." Qi Yan coaxed the little full moon, and then said goodbye to Zhou Bin Xiaolin and left.
Just as Qi Yan walked out of the bookstore, a guest bent over, lowered his head, and walked into the bookstore.
"This guest." Qi Yan faintly felt that the other party was a little strange, she turned around and said, "The bookstore is about to close......
"I'll just buy a book." The man walked into the store in a hoarse voice.
Qi Yan was puzzled in his heart, and his eyes followed the hunched guest.
The full moon looked at Qi Yan's gaze and said, "Young lady, that person is a little weird." ”
Qi Yan nodded, she was about to leave, but when she saw such a strange guest, she turned back to the store.
"This guest." Just as Qi Yan walked up to the guest.
"Die!" The guest suddenly shouted.
Then, when everyone was defenseless, he took out a large jar from his clothes.
"You ......" As soon as Qi Yan opened his mouth, the man opened the jar, and the smell of fire oil rushed out!
"Death to me!" The man said, pulling out a fire fold from his cuff.
As soon as the tongue of fire came into contact with the oil of fire, it jumped up, and the shelves were full of books, and when it met the tongue of fire, it quickly burned!
Qi Yan froze in place, she wanted to shout, she wanted to run!
But the crackling fire pinned her in place!
"Fire ......"
Qi Yan was in a trance in his mind.
In the Xie family in her previous life, she also set such a fire, and it was good to burn it all clean.
"Young lady!" A high-pitched, poignant voice sounded behind him.
Qi Yan recognized that this was the voice of the full moon, and she wanted to remind her little maid not to call her young lady in the bookstore, but to call the boss.
It's weird......
Her mind was strange, she was sober, but she didn't seem to belong to her.
"Qi Yan!"
A hand reached out from the smoke and grabbed her tightly!
Qi Yan looked at the past in a trance, the other party was dressed in white and had a hat, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly at all!
But the bizarre thing is that Qi Yan feels that this scene is so familiar, just like he experienced it once in his previous life.
The man in white hugged Qi Yan, and without saying a word, rushed out of the bookstore!
"Young lady! Don't scare me, young lady! Are you alright, are you alright? ”
The sound of the full moon crying sounded in his ears, Qi Yan choked a few breaths, and finally came back to his senses.
"I'm fine." Qi Yan's voice was hoarse, "Don't cry......"
"Young lady! You, you're finally sober? "The full moon looked up to the sky and cried, crying even more fiercely.
Qi Yan turned his head to look at the man in white who was holding him.
Oh, it's not the man in white anymore, the clothes are blackened.
"We ......" Qi Yan's throat was dry and hoarse, "meet again......"
That time when she was blocked in the alley by the thugs, it was this person who saved her, if she insisted on saying a coincidence last time, Qi Yan admitted it, but this time it was definitely not.
"Who are you?" Qi Yan asked.
The man stiffened slightly, and let go of her.
Then, turn around and go.
Qi Yan was startled, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he grabbed the corner of the white-clothed man's clothes.
"Wait!" Qi Yan said, "Why are you helping me?" Who are you? We know, right? ”
The man's movements paused for a moment, just when Qi Yan thought he was going to say something to himself.
The man ripped back from his clothes and walked away without looking back.
"Are you ......" Qi Yan still wanted to ask.
It was two steps away, her legs were weak, and she almost brushed it, but the full moon held her up.
The little maid was crying, supporting Qi Yan and burping from time to time.
Qi Yan: "......"
"I'm fine." Qi Yan raised his hand and wiped his tears from the full moon.
"Young lady, you scared me to death! Scared the hell out of me! It's on fire, why don't you run?! The full moon supported Qi Yan.
"I'm ......" Qi Yan paused and said in a low voice, "...... I may have been scared. ”
"Next time you encounter danger, you must run! Be sure to run! "The full moon sobbed.
"Okay, I know, it's okay, it's okay." Qi Yan comforted the full moon while looking at his bookstore.
At this time, Zhou Bin and Xiaolin had already extinguished the fire, and the person who lit the fire to the bookstore was also pulled out, he was burned, and at this time, he was wailing on the ground.
There are already a lot of people around, surrounding the Yuanhong Book Bureau, pointing and pointing.
"What's wrong again?!" Zhou Yanxi walked over and was stunned when he saw Qi Yan, "Young lady? ”
"Zhou Zhutou."
"Why are you here?"
Qi Yan said: "This is my shop. As he spoke, he looked at the arsonist on the ground.
"This is ......" As soon as Zhou Zhutou spoke, the people watching replied: "This person is the boss of Dongyuan Bookstore!" ”
"yes, that's him!"
Zhou Yanxi said: "Dongyuan Bookstore? ”
"Yes, yes! Just around the corner of the north street! The people also enthusiastically pointed to the location of Zhou Zhutou.
Someone added: "His bookstore just closed down a few days ago!" ”
"It must be that he is jealous of Yuanhong Bookstore, so he came to burn down other people's bookstores!"
"It must be like this!"
The people, you say a word to me, and you almost restore everything.
Zhou Yanxi sighed and said to the yacha beside him: "Send people to the hospital first, and then ask." ”
"Yes!"
The person who set the fire was taken away, and Zhou Yanxi looked at Qi Yan again: "Young lady, you can also go to the yamen with me." ”
"Okay."
"Wait a minute." At this moment, Xiao Lin and Zhou Bin walked over.
Xiao Lin looked at Qi Yan in surprise: "Boss, I heard them all call you young lady just now." ”
"Uh......"
Qi Yan didn't know how to explain to Xiao Lin for a while.
At this time, Zhou Bin stood up, he patted Xiao Lin on the shoulder, and said, "It doesn't matter what others call the boss, the point is that this fire ...... Oh, and your leave of absence for tomorrow! ”
"Yes!" Xiao Lin patted his head, he looked at Qi Yan, "I'...... Can I take time off tomorrow? ”
Qi Yan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
…………
…………
Qi Yan and the others came out of the yamen after recording their confessions, and it was already dark.
"Gollum." As soon as Xiao Lin walked out of the yamen, his stomach screamed.
Qi Yan thought about it this time, after this scene, everyone didn't have dinner.
"Let's go." Qi Yan said, "I'll invite you to dinner." ”
"Great!" Xiao Lin clapped his hands, "Thank you, boss!" ”
Zhou Bin smiled: "Thank you, boss." ”
Full Moon tugged at Qi Yan's cuffs and reminded euphemistically: "Boss, it's not good if we go back too late, right?" ”
The concierge of the Xie family is Mrs. Xie's person, Qi Yan is late to go back, he will definitely tell Mrs. Xie.
Qi Yan knew what the full moon was doing, and said, "It's okay?" ”
"But ......," the little maid hesitated.
Qi Yan: "Aren't you hungry?" ”
Full Moon just wanted to say "I'm not hungry", but his stomach gurgled as well, louder than Kobayashi's voice.
"It's late anyway, it doesn't matter." Qi Yan smiled and said, "Let's go, let's have dinner together." ”
Zhou Bin said with a smile: ""Boss, it's already supper." ”
"A supper is a supper." Qi Yan said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to supper." ”
Xiao Lin raised his hand and said, "I know where it's delicious!" ”
…………
…………
So, a group of four people came to the night market stall that Xiaolin said.
Don't look at it, it's the middle of the night, and the people in Beijing are not idle, and there are still many people who come to the night market for supper.
"The braised pork noodles here taste very good." Xiao Lin walked through one stall after another, and stopped in front of one of the stalls that was full, "Last time, Brother Ran took us here to eat once!" I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I haven't had a chance. ”
His voice fell, just as a table was empty, and Qi Yan and his party sat down.
When the hot braised pork noodles, accompanied by cold dishes, were served together, Qi Yan's stomach also gurgled.
The marinated pork is steaming, and the large pieces of meat in the thick red sauce are rolled on the snow-white and elastic noodles, which makes people appetite.
Xiao Lin took a bite of noodles with satisfaction and asked Qi Yan, "Young lady, how does it taste?" ”
Qi Yan nodded: "Hmm! Delicious! ”
"It tastes better with garlic cloves!" Xiao Lin handed Qi Yan a clove of white and chubby garlic.
Seeing this, the full moon opened her mouth and said, "My young lady can't eat spicy food!" This should be taboo! ”
"Young lady?" Xiao Lin patted his head, remembered an important thing and said, "That's right! Young lady! ”
Xiao Lin looked at Qi Yan: "Boss, they all call you young lady, are you married?" ”
Qi Yan nodded and said, "Sort of." ”
"Who's that?" Xiao Lin looked at Qi Yan and was very curious, "Who are you marrying?" ”
"This ......" Qi Yan wanted to say the Xie family, but he was reluctant to answer that it was the Xie family.
"It doesn't matter who the boss marries!" Just when Qi Yan was in a dilemma, Zhou Bin opened his mouth and said, "Isn't it enough to give us a lot of money every month?" Also, the matter of the owner of Dongyuan Bookstore ......"
As he spoke, he looked at Qi Yan, naturally opened the topic, and asked, "Boss, what are you going to do?" And our burned-out bookshelves. ”
Qi Yan's expression was a little more serious: "The loss of the bookstore has to be compensated by Dongyuan Bookstore!" ”
Zhou Bin nodded: "But." Boss, you have to be prepared. ”
Qi Yan nodded and continued: "I also know that the Dongyuan boss is like that, and it is estimated that he can't afford to compensate us." ”
She paused and continued: "However, I can't afford to pay it, and I want him to pay it!" It can't just be left at that! ”
Zhou Bin nodded: "Boss, we all listen to you." ”
