Chapter 35: A Strange Creature
She reflexively slapped him, in fact, she was already frightened, this slap was also light and powerless, Master Duan didn't react yet, the little guy next to him was already furious, and directly slapped him over.
She was directly beaten, touching her face and looking at the little girl for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses. The little guy raised his hand to fight again, but Master Duan shouted slowly: "Little girl, what did Xiao Sheng do to let you slap Xiao Sheng?" ”
Qingyue was shocked by Master Duan's cheekiness, and she saw Master Duan shaking his head before she continued to say leisurely: "You are the shopkeeper's maid, right?" It's called Qingyue? ”
Qingyue didn't speak, only heard Master Duan's voice continue: "Alas, you juniors, why are you so resolute in temperament? Aren't you the ones who will be hurt in the end? He shook his head and rested his hand lightly on Qingyue's lap.
Qingyue's whole body bounced. Master Duan looked at her and smiled: "Why does the little girl still have such a big reaction?" Don't you understand it yet? His smile remained unchanged, and he still said in the gentlest voice, "Today is the fault of your restaurant, and it is the first day, your widowed little shopkeeper should not hesitate to see the stakes, right?" ”
Qingyue bit her lip and didn't answer, Master Duan smiled indifferently and said, "Don't believe it? Little girl, you must know that those shopkeepers will do anything for the sake of so-called profits... But I'm different... If you don't believe me, how about making a bet with Xiaosheng? With that, he shouted out to Pretty Branches to come in.
Qiaozhi said this and sighed: "When I went in, I saw Qingyue standing there with her head down. The old man's little guy made a preemptive move, saying that his master just commented that the dish was not good, and he was beaten by Qingyue. I knew that something was wrong, but I didn't say anything when I asked Qingyue, just shook my head. ”
"That bullshit Master Duan pretended to be very good at the beginning, and apologized for Qingyue every word, but every sentence was falling Qingyue's mouth. I..."
"You apologized for Qingyue." Zhao Yu looked into her eyes and said gently.
"Yes. After I apologized, I realized that things didn't seem to be as simple as the little guy said. Qiao Zhi lowered her eyes, "After I apologized, the little guy let me go, I just wanted to go back with Qingyue, but I didn't expect the little guy to block the door directly at the door and lock the door from the inside." ”
"When I questioned him about his purpose, that Master Duan finally tore off his hypocritical face." She poured another glass of wine and drank it all, "I only knew then that he was the owner of the famous Caiyue Tower. Caiyue Building, you know, right? is the name of a restaurant, in fact, tsk, who doesn't know what to do behind the scenes? Isn't it just a green building? ”
Qingyue didn't speak, but I almost knew how much they had done. I wanted to spill a glass of wine and smash it in his face. Qiaozhi gritted her teeth, "But Qingyue stopped me, I could only smash the cup to the ground, and then behind, Brother Zhao, you will come in." ”
"Probably they didn't want to make a big fuss either, so they let the two of us out after you came in." Qiaozhi poured her wine again, "So, thank you so much this time." Just now when I sent Qingyue downstairs, she told me that the shopkeeper told her that if she told me the truth of the matter, then they would unite several big restaurants to squeeze out Yuelai..."
"Then I'll rush in..."
"Of course, that's right. Otherwise, I don't know what to do to get out. Qiaozhi smiled, "However, being excluded is a sure thing, didn't Brother Zhao also say it?" Today's old man can pretend to be a scholar to find fault, it must have been premeditated, but the Qingyue authorities are confused, and they can't see it clearly for a while. ”
"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." She smiled and pointed at herself, "Don't say anything else, I have acquaintances above me!" Maybe it's going to cover me. ”
Zhao Yu nodded stunned, Qiaozhi held the wine glass but smiled silently, she has been handing out flyers for three days, the little girl should have seen it, right? Alas, I hope she doesn't forget her friendship in the Taoist temple...
Halfway through the meal, there was another moth in the room where Master Duan was, and he was still howling about the problem, and he said that he had a stomachache after eating. It happened that Bai Jian came to the second floor to look for Qiaozhi after finishing the work on the first floor, and when he heard Master Duan's voice, he didn't even furrow his eyebrows, so he took the sword and went in.
When they wiped their mouths and rushed over, Bai Jian's long sword was already on Master Duan's multi-folded neck.
Feeling the coldness of the sword body, Master Duan finally became afraid: "Little brother, if you have something to say, this sword..."
"What about swords?" Bai Jian smiled and pressed the sword to his neck again.
"This sword doesn't have long eyes!" Master Duan's cold sweat broke out, desperately hiding back, Yu Guang saw Qiao Zhi walking in, and hurriedly shouted: "Shopkeeper, this little guy under you... It's to give birth to me..."Noticing Qiaozhi's frowning, Master Duan hurriedly changed his words, "Are you going to threaten Duan?" I... I'm still your guest! ”
The implication is that a newly opened restaurant of yours is going to commit murder to its guests? It's just that the last sentence is under the indifferent gaze of Qiaozhi, and the more he speaks, the quieter his voice becomes.
After Bai Jian heard what he said, she frowned: "Obviously, you are here to slander my family for having a problem with the food, and I will explain to you in a good voice that you are still disrespectful and want to eat the overlord meal." Why did you say all the good and bad things? ”
Master Duan was about to open his mouth to argue, when he heard Qiaozhi sneer, and said, "Shopkeeper Duan, Boss Duan, first of all, the one who is poking your neck with a sword now is not a small guy." Besides, it's your fault to slander the food and eat the overlord meal, and finally- do you want me to tell this son about the things you just did, so that he and the sword in his hand can be judged? ”
“?” Bai Jian found that the matter was not as simple as slandering people to eat the overlord's meal, he suddenly pointed the tip of his sword at Master Duan's little servant who was standing on the side, "What else have you done?" Say it! ”
The little servant looked at the master who was still under control in embarrassment, and said with difficulty: "I... We didn't do anything... I just don't think your food is good..."
"Yes, it's not as good as your Caiyun Building." Qiao Zhi said, "Why don't you ask the shopkeeper Duan to come over and try the dishes one day?" ”
"Oh?" Bai Jian narrowed his eyes, and the long sword in his hand was sent to the little girl's eyes again.
"Don't dare... Don't dare..."The shopkeeper Duan glanced at the little servant, "It's our fault first, you are the shopkeeper who is not to blame." Then he rebuked: "Why don't you give the money for this meal to the shopkeeper and this one... This hero! What are you waiting for there! ”
The little guy shuddered and took out the silver bag, touched the broken silver and handed it to Qiaozhi's hand, seeing Qiaozhi accept the silver, Bai Jian snorted coldly and put away the sword, and pushed Master Duan to the side of the little guy, "Get out, don't let me see you in the restaurant again." ”
After watching Master Duan and them stumble out of the door, Qiao Zhi turned around and thanked Bai Jian with a smile: "Thank you Bai Daxia for your righteous action!" I wonder if the little girl will have the pleasure of treating you to a light meal? ”
Bai Jian put the sword back into its sheath, and raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Just order?" ”
"Ahh ”
“... Forget it, let's go. I happened to be hungry too. Bai Jian shook her head and followed Qiaozhi back to Zhao Yu's room.
After entering the room, Qiaozhi took the initiative to call a few dishes, and asked Xiao Er to call Xiuzhu over as well. This time, it was the original Xiao Er who was in charge of ordering, looking at the two-person meal of the shopkeeper and the scholar about to become a four-person meal in the blink of an eye, I don't know where I wanted to go, I kept looking at Bai Jian and Zhao Yu back and forth with sympathetic eyes, and the feelings contained in my eyes were self-evident.
Qiaozhi gritted his teeth and sent Xiao Er out, and he said that he must retrain these people when he has time, and the first rule of the employee code is not to speculate about the boss's private life...
When Xiuzhu came over, the newly ordered dishes were almost ready, and the four of them sat around the table, and Qiaozhi poured them full of wine one by one and said: "Today is the first day of the opening of Yuelai Restaurant, I didn't expect so many things to happen, thank you for your help, I am grateful." ”
"Miss Yu, you drink slowly..."Seeing Qiaozhi drain the whole glass of wine again, Zhao Yu couldn't help but remind loudly, "It's easy to get drunk like this..."
Bai Jian laughed out loud and picked up the wine glass: "Shopkeeper Yu has a good amount of wine!" I didn't know you were such a heroine! As he spoke, Xiuzhu on the opposite side also picked up the wine glass in front of him and toasted the wine.
Qiaozhi looked at Zhao Yu and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, I'm just sending you."
Zhao Yu smiled helplessly, held up the wine glass, and drank like Bai Jian, but he was used to it, and there was an indescribable weirdness everywhere when he started Bai Jian's heroism.
Seeing that Zhao Yu had also finished drinking, Qiao Zhi stood up and said, "In this way, everyone can be regarded as friends." She looked at Zhao Yu, "When these two helped me return the inkstone before, they should have met Brother Zhao, right?" She pointed at Bai Jian, and then pointed at Xiuzhu, "This is Bai Jian, a person from the martial arts; That is Xiuzhu, the personal entourage of Bai Daxia. ”
"This is Zhao Yu, when I didn't go back to Yu's house before, I relied on his care."
After getting to know each other, we officially started eating. Qiaozhi deliberately introduced the topic to anecdotes, but fortunately, Zhao Yu is not a nerd who is a dead reader, and knows a lot about these so-called anecdotes. had a chat with Bai Jian without a match, but gradually found a topic that both of them liked.
Men's friendship is sometimes very strange, a few glasses of wine, a few bites of food, and a few topics can lead the other party to be their confidant. Qiaozhi looked at the three people, one called himself a hero, one was a hero's entourage, and the other was a scholar with red ears who didn't know how to drink, but they felt sorry for each other, and couldn't help but sigh that men are really a magical species.
After eating, Bai Jian was responsible for sending the drunken Zhao Yu back, holding his shoulder, for fear that the weak scholar would pounce on the ground in the next second.
Zhao Yu's brain was a little anesthetized by alcohol, and he leaned on Bai Jian in a daze and went out with him, until he was blown by the wind, he remembered in a daze, he seemed to want to ask Qiaozhi something, but... What is it? Before he could think clearly, a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he went unconscious.
