When Li Chuxia said this, his tone was calm, not like blaming at all, but more about inquiry.

Afraid that Liu Yi would speak nonsense, Qianya took the lead in blocking in front of him and said, "He...... He's my cousin. ”

She's not good at lying.

When he said this, his face was flushed unnaturally, and his eyes were constantly rolling, and he didn't dare to look directly at Li Chuxia's burning gaze, for fear that he would say something in a panic.

Liu Yi was obviously stunned for a moment, "Huh? Ah yes, I'm his cousin. ”

The facial expressions of the two of them were a little strange, so that Li Chuxia had to look at them with some suspicion, "Really?" Xiaoqian's cousin, are you planning to take him back? ”

During this time, Xiaoqian stayed in the restaurant, and Xiaoqian obviously repaid the meal money, but insisted on staying in the restaurant, there must be her own reasons. Now, there is one more relative, and I am afraid that I will take Xiaoqian back.

Xiaoqian doesn't look very old, her qualifications are still shallow, and she has been outside, which is really worrying.

Who knew that when Qianya heard this, she shook her head again and again, shaking her head into a rattle, "No, no, no, my cousin wants to stay here." ”

"Stay?" Li Chuxia looked Liu Yi up and down.

Liu Yi's body is very strong, although his face is not as white and delicate as Xiao Qian, but he is not like a commoner from an ordinary family, with a resolute face and a serious face, he looks like the son of a martial arts family, no matter how poor he is, he is also the guard of a noble family.

Speaking of which, it's the same as Xiaoqian, and it looks unusual.

Seeing that Li Chuxia was looking at Liu Yi, Qianya hurriedly pushed him forward a little, so that Li Chuxia could take a closer look, and said, "Look at my cousin, he is tall and strong, he can do anything." I don't eat much, and there are only two bowls of rice per meal. ”

Her praise like this made Liu Yi feel as if he had stepped into a deep pit when he listened to it.

The point was that even if he knew it was a pit, he had to jump into it.

So he nodded along with Qianya's words, "Yes, I can do anything." ”

"Hmm." Li Chuxia nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, then you can stay for the time being, and in the next two days, let's go to the backyard to chop firewood first." ”

Seeing Li Chuxia's answer, Qianya couldn't be happier, "Thank you, Sister Chuxia." ”

A gentle smile bloomed on Li Chuxia's face.

Subsequently, Liu Yi, under the leadership of the steward, went to the backyard to chop wood.

In fact, Liu Yi has been trained as a princess guard since he was a child, and since he can remember, he has been fighting non-stop, taking it as his responsibility to protect the princess. As for such a trivial matter of chopping wood, he really had never done it.

However, looking at the size of the matches piled up beside him, he raised his axe and made a gesture, and when he had determined the direction, he slashed at the wood.

I only heard a "pop" sound, and the axe in my hand cut from the middle of the wood to the bottom, and the matches were all cut out, but the sharp axe smashed into the ground because of the excessive force, and it turned out to be ...... Broken......

Li Chuxia, who originally wanted to come in to inspect it, saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Sure enough...... Xiaoqian's cousin, like Xiaoqian, is a god. ”

The steward was even more stunned, and after a while, he reacted and hurriedly rushed up, "Oh my God, what are you doing with so much energy?" This axe is the only one in the building, and there is still firewood waiting in the kitchen......"

While babbling, he threw himself at the broken axe on the ground, looking distressed.

Usually when Li Chuxia is not there, he is in charge of everything in the restaurant, so almost everything in the restaurant, although it is Li Chuxia's orders, is handled by him himself, and he has different feelings.

That's fine.

Li Chuxia could only hang the corners of his mouth, stepped forward to comfort the steward, and at the end, he raised his eyes to look at Liu Yi again, tried to adjust his breathing, and said in a relatively calm tone: "It's okay, it's good to be lighter next time." ”

Next time?

Liu Yi was quite happy.

Because he broke the axe in the restaurant, he was indeed a little ashamed, but now he looked at Li Chuxia regardless of his previous suspicions, and suddenly had a good impression, so he also showed a bright smile to Li Chuxia, "Okay, I'll pay attention." ”

"Huh." Li Chuxia smiled bitterly, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Naturally, in the next few days, Liu Yi still failed to make Li Chuxia peaceful.

Although he was careful with how hard he chopped the wood, and did not break the axe, he did break several other things, such as kicking the bench when he turned around, and accidentally hitting the crops that were drying......

Li Chuxia could only silently write down the items that Liu Yi had broken in the account book, and add the price to the back, and after a good calculation, he looked sad.

Although Xiaoqian earns enough money to attract customers every day, she can break so many things, she is really distressed. 、

Just when she was secretly sad, a figure appeared in front of her unconsciously, "What are you doing?" What about this expression? ”

Li Chuxia raised his head suddenly, and when he saw Lang Qi's face, he was obviously startled, but he quickly reacted and returned to his normal calm and natural appearance, "It's okay." ”

Lang Qi felt that something was wrong.

He deliberately poked his head and looked at the ledger in Li Chuxia's hand, who knew that Li Chuxia actually closed the ledger quickly, he didn't have time to see the content on it, and pouted with some disdain, "Why are you so stingy, even I can't see it?" ”

"Of course I can't see it, the ledger is a key secret of a restaurant, and if you know too much, it's not good for you." Li Chuxia said seriously.

Lang Qi knew that this was Li Chuxia's prevarication, and pursed his lips, but he didn't pursue it further, after all, his purpose itself was not for the book, "Okay, okay, don't look at it." ”

Li Chuxia snorted lightly, carefully put away the account book, and asked seemingly casually: "Say, what are you doing here?" ”

The so-called nothing is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace.

Although Lang Qi has been surrounded by her like a ghost during this time, this time, she clearly felt that Lang Qi seemed to be a little different.

Sure enough, Lang Qi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he approached Li Chuxia, and the corners of his mouth slightly provoked a slanted arc, "In a few days, it will be relief day, and many restaurants in the city have begun to build porridge sheds, ready to give alms, and we can't lag behind." ”

In fact, as early as half a month ago, he began to prepare.

After all, building a porridge shed is not something that can be completed in a few days, and it is necessary to take the lead in grabbing an excellent position before other restaurants, and only with a favorable position can you get more attention.

Li Chuxia raised his eyelids slightly, and in his eyes, when Lang Qi talked about this matter, his eyes were full of light, as if this was a very great and great thing.

She asked lightly, "And then?" ”

"Then, soup kitchen." Lang Qi gushed about the news he had heard in the past few days, "Hasn't there been a war recently? The people from the border have flocked to the capital, and there are many beggars left in the city itself, among which the temple in the south of the city is the first, as long as we ......"

He said with a spit flying, and when he got to the end of the fun, he clearly saw Li Chuxia yawning firmly.

He froze.

It was like a bucket of cold water poured off guard, and his enthusiasm that was as hot as fire was all extinguished.

As if sensing that he had cut off his voice, Li Chuxia smiled a little embarrassedly, "What you said, other restaurants have also thought of it, two days ago, I watched them start to cook porridge and give alms." However, I don't think it's working. ”

Catching up with Lang Qi's straight gaze, Li Chuxia analyzed very seriously: "On the day of Almsgiving, many restaurants will definitely hold such activities, and if we go again, it will just be a fun." In addition, among the refugees who take porridge, there will be some lazy market hooligans, but the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Looking at Lang Qi's gaze, which gradually became surprised, Li Chuxia paused, and continued: "Third, the business of the restaurant is very good at the moment, and for the sake of soup porridge, the store is specially closed, and there are some things that have no return and no meaning, just for those few false names? ”

Lang Qi was speechless when he retorted.

"If you want me to say, just hold a national cooking competition, let all the people in the town who can cook come, bring their own ingredients, taste them on the spot, evaluate the rankings, and give rewards." Li Chuxia's eyes were fixed, "It is better to do something truly meaningful than giving alms to those refugees who have hands and feet to give them food." ”

Lang Qi fell into deep thought.

Although he felt that Li Chuxia's proposal was a little inappropriate, after all, it was a relief day, which deviated from the meaning of this day, but he still nodded and agreed.

Li Chuxia discussed the specific plan, and when it came to manpower, Li Chuxia suddenly had a flash of inspiration, a touch of cunning flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, he looked up at Lang Qi, "Do you need manpower there?" ”

"Huh?" Lang Qi was a little strange.

"I have a new strong guy here, who is also handsome, and I am afraid of Qu Cai here, and I want him to come to you." Li Chuxia smiled, clearly with some ill intentions.

Lang Qi was deeply skeptical.

A person like Li Chuxia, who loves his life like his life, would be so kind to give him an excellent candidate?

Seeing him hesitate, Li Chuxia hurriedly beckoned, "Oh, don't hesitate, I'll take you to meet him, and you will know that what I said is true." ”

After all, Liu Yi is indeed a tall man, and the objective conditions are there, as for this shortcoming...... What merchant sells his own goods and will say that the goods are defective?

With that, he led Lang Qi into the backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard at this time, I smelled a burning smell, and when I turned my head, there was a puff of smoke in the firewood room.

"What's going on?" Li Chuxia hurriedly grabbed a guy who was in a hurry.

The guy shouted, "The new kid just broke so many things, and this time he even set the firewood room on fire!" ”

For a while, there was a rush everywhere.

The corners of Lang Qi's mouth twitched, "That's the person you plan to introduce to me?" Don't tear me down then. ”

He already knew that Li Chuxia would dig a pit for himself again.
