Chapter 47: What is the Dragon Gate? Can you eat it
Wang Ci talked to Qiaozhi for a while before Shi Shiran left. While they were talking, the owners of the restaurants kept kneeling on the ground, their heads next to the floor, and the arrogant attitude of their eyes above the top was gone.
This is the principle of one thing descending from one thing. Yanling is far away from the capital, so Yanling has a bit of barbarism from the emperor of the sky, but no matter how savage the monkey is afraid of the tiger in the forest, Wang Ci is the tiger in Yanling City, in the past, he had sharp claws and teeth, and no one in his eyes, but after experiencing the Three Ladies incident and the Jin'er incident, this tiger suddenly had a weakness.
Looking at the back of Wang Ci, who was walking away with his daughter, Qiaozhi was a little embarrassed for a while.
She returned to the private room with Li Pan and negotiated with a few bosses who didn't like her, except for Bai Jian who was not brought in by chance, in fact, she didn't call anyone for help, let alone Wang Ci, and the reason why Wang Ci was able to come so quickly was probably due to Jin'er.
Thinking of everything that happened in the Taoist temple, Qiaozhi suddenly didn't know how to face Jin'er. She was indeed sincere to Jin'er at the beginning, but as the truth was revealed, after she knew Jin'er's true face, her sincerity dissipated and was replaced by disgust.
Later, Jin'er took her younger brother down the mountain to go home, her impression of Jin'er changed slightly, and then she took down this restaurant, and when she wrote a letter to her family, she suddenly remembered that she still had Jin'er's road, and asked Bai Jian to contact her with the intention of trying it, but she didn't expect to receive such results.
Thinking of this, Qiaozhi had a somewhat complicated mood. That kind of barren mountains and mountains, anyone who sees a little girl in tattered clothes like Jin'er will arouse pity, right? In all fairness, all the help she did to Jin'er was just a gesture, but Jin'er's temperament that would be reciprocated would actually report so much to her... It's almost heartfelt to repay her...
Jin'er, how much love she should have, will repay the efforts of others as a great kindness.
One report and one report, Jin'er used her to get the results she wanted, and she used Jin'er as a 'tool man' for the restaurant, but the other party was willing...
Qiaozhi lowered her long eyelashes, her mood suddenly fell, and she asked Bai Jian to arrange the follow-up matters of these bosses, and without waiting for Bai Jian to agree, she left the private room with her head down.
Pretty Eda sat at the counter, depressed.
didn't even sacrifice the last big killing move, and the matter was solved by the divine soldiers who descended from the sky, and the speed was incredibly fast, and even Qiaozhi even blackmailed a little. But as long as she thought of Jin'er, she couldn't be happy.
Man is such a complex creature. Qiaozhi spits on her own behavior, but on the other hand, she can't quit the pleasure of having a backer; It's obviously an attitude that understands but doesn't support what Jin'er does, and it's obviously a plan to be different and not conspire with each other... But she had to use Jin'er and pull Wang Ci as his backer.
Even, she was not ashamed of this at first, she didn't feel anything, and she thought that it was natural to find Jin'er to come to the restaurant... It wasn't until just now that she suddenly realized what she had been doing in the past few days.
This is really my own inferiority... Even if you change your body and change the times, you can't escape this habit that is engraved in your bones and cultivated since childhood... Even if you try to restrain yourself, you will still change back to your original self full of bad roots at an inadvertent moment.
She was sitting at the counter and introspecting alone, while several bosses in the private room over there were brothers and sisters in such a short period of time. Without Qiaozhi present, the pressure brought by Wang Ci completely disappeared, and several bosses also silently breathed a sigh of relief, and their good impression of Bai Jian who was standing there talking to them doubled.
Maybe it's the onset of Stockholm syndrome, or maybe it's the innate magic of the young people who roam the rivers and lakes, between a few words, it easily resolved the contradictions between several bosses and Yuelai Restaurant.
Seeing off a few bosses, Bai Jian wanted to show off this unexpected surprise with Qiaozhi, but saw Qiaozhi sitting at the counter with her brows locked all the time, and all the hustle and bustle around her didn't seem to be able to reach her ears.
Looking at the pensive Qiaozhi, Bai Jian pursed her lips, silently moved a chair and sat next to Qiaozhi, and took the unfinished account book in her hand and looked at it.
The pages full of numbers and Xiaokai saw that Bai Jian was dizzy, and when he was about to close his eyes and go to Zhou Gong to play chess, the wind chimes hanging by the door suddenly rang. He hurriedly dropped the ledger and looked eagerly at the belated customer.
"Zhao Yu? What are you doing here? Seeing the person who came, Bai Jian was puzzled, "The township test is coming, you don't review well, why did you run out again?" ”
Hearing Bai Jian's question, Zhao Yu hesitated at the door, his fair skin flushed slightly, but he only hesitated for a while, then walked straight towards the counter and knocked on the table.
"Ah, it's Brother Zhao." His thoughts were interrupted, and Qiao Zhi smiled at Zhao Yu good-naturedly, "Why did you come to dinner so late today?" ”
"I..." Hearing Qiaozhi's question, Zhao Yu's already slightly red face was like a ripe tomato, he looked at Qiaozhi's eyes, and suddenly said loudly: "Miss Yu, I... I'm going to take the exam soon..."
"Huh....? Oh..."Qiaozhi nodded stunnedly, and looked at Zhao Yu with some doubts, "Brother Zhao, I wish you success in the township test, and you are on the list!" ”
"Hmm. I will. Obviously it was just an ordinary compliment, but Zhao Yu seemed to have heard some big oath, and said very solemnly, "Miss Yu, I will remember your appointment with my carp, and when I am in high school, I will invite you to eat fish." When he finally finished what he wanted to say, he exhaled and looked nervously at Qiaozhi.
Forehead... Carp. Qiaozhi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what the carp covenant was, obviously it was just a trivial thing mentioned casually, and she forgot that she didn't take it seriously at all, and she didn't expect Zhao Yu to remember it for so long.
It was the first day, after she finished solving Boss Duan, she rushed to Zhao Yu's room to greet him, and was waiting for Bai Jian's mouth, and they talked about this township test.
Knowing that Zhao Yu was going to the examination room soon, Qiaozhi encouraged Zhao Yu according to common sense, and told him to be calm and not too nervous in the exam, and suddenly remembered the allusion of 'carp jumping over the dragon gate'.
The college entrance examination in the modern world is equivalent to a dragon gate, and no math students are desperately trying to get high, just for the last leap, it seems that they can cross the family and soar, and from then on, they will collapse and enjoy the prosperity of the world.
In ancient times, the feeling of jumping the dragon gate seems to be stronger, after all, in modern times, in addition to the college entrance examination, there are countless opportunities to change lives, but it is more complex and more difficult, and in ancient times, becoming an official through the examination is the only way for everyone to change their fate, even if you are a businessman, with a lot of money, it is just the lowest grade, in the eyes of others, it may not even be as good as half of the poor students.
So she promised that on the day Zhao Yu Gongzi returned from high school, she would set up a Longmen Whole Fish Banquet to invite him, but Zhao Yu asked in detail what dishes this whole fish banquet had and how to make it, and refused her invitation to the whole fish banquet, but said with a smile that if it was on the list, then the whole fish banquet should also be invited by him.
It's not necessary to insist on such an unknown thing, so Qiaozhi nodded with a smile and said, "Then I'll wait for the title of Childe Jinbang to return and invite me to eat fish." After that, there were too many things, and this matter was completely left behind, and when I mentioned it today, Qiaozhi found out that Zhao Yu would take it so seriously when he said a word at the wine table that day.
I should have rejected him if I knew I should have rejected him... It's rare for Qiaozhi to start struggling with unknown trivial things, Zhao Yu helped herself so much, but if people are on the list, they actually have to spend money to invite themselves to eat fish... It's too much to take yourself... Forget it, when the day comes, it's better to start first, and I don't believe that a scholar who can't lift his shoulders can run past Bai Jian, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood.
Thinking of this, Qiaozhi looked at Bai Jian with a pair of eyes gently, and looked at Bai Jian with a thrill, secretly wondering if she was thinking about some errand to torture him again.
"Okay, Brother Zhao, it's a deal." Qiaozhi smiled and assured Zhao Yu that she was extremely serious. "You have to study well and take exams well. The whole fish banquet at Yuelai Restaurant is waiting for you here! ”
