Xiaolianshan walked out of the Donglai Inn to the west, turned into an alley and walked in front of several doors, and came to a small courtyard.

This alley is called Xiaoli Alley, and the small courtyard where Xiaolianshan stopped is in front of the eleventh house.

He knocked lightly on the courtyard door, and there was a woman in her fifties in the courtyard, who heard the door knock and asked, "Who?" ”

"Mother, it's me."

Xiao Lianshan said softly and waited quietly outside the door.

"It's Lianshan back, it's so early today, what's the matter?"

Li Shi heard his son's voice, hurriedly put down the clothes that were half-dried on his hands, shook his hands and stood up, and walked over to open the door.

Xiao Lianshan saw that his mother was washing clothes, and asked, "Where is my father?" ”

"you, Uncle Shan, I'll love it, I just went there after dinner. What, what's the matter with your father? ”

My son would be busy with the guests in the evening every day before he could come back, and it was the busiest time in the back kitchen, and it was a bit unusual to come back unexpectedly. This made Li worry about it: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine."

Xiao Lianshan thought about it, first went to the pigeon cage in the yard and took out a pigeon with gray feathers and a bloody red mouth, wrote a note and tied it up and flew it out, before he said to his mother: "Mother, if my master comes, you will give him the big leaf green bubble to drink to the old man." ”

"Cheng, I'll go and call your father back."

The Li family is smart, and his son has never looked for the master easily, and it is a big deal to find it.

She didn't dare to ask her son, but her heart began to panic, and she couldn't stop whispering Buddha in her mouth, and praying was not a disaster.

Xiao Lianshan saw that his mother was worried, and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, it's not a big deal." ”

He comforted his mother and hurried out the door.

When Xiao Lianshan walked out of the Donglai Inn, the night was getting thicker, and the dim lights were swaying on the street, which made his steps a lot easier, and he came straight to the guest inn.

It is rare for the chef of the Donglai Inn to run to the guest inn, and there are many people in the town, so Xiao Lianshan deliberately wore a gray hat with a large brim when he came, and the hat was pulled down to cover half of his face.

As he walked towards the guest inn, he saw the anxious little building waiting at the door.

The two gestured from afar, and Xiao Zhu opened the side door and led him in.

Xiao Zhu pointed to a few upper rooms on the second floor of the inn, and the two discussed, taking advantage of the fact that the shopkeeper was not at the counter in the lobby, they went up to the second floor one after the other and came to the door of Hualan.

Xiao Zhu was clever and did not enter the room, but stood by the railing outside the door and watched the movement in the lobby.

There was no one in the lobby at this time, it was dinner time, everyone was busy eating, and no one cared about Xiaozhu's sudden move.

Hua Lan invited Xiao Lianshan into the room, and Xiao Zhu entered the door with confidence.

Hua Lan didn't expect that the chef of the Donglai Inn turned out to be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and she was overjoyed and invited him to sit down, her eyes flashing with suspicion: "Are you really the chef?" I really didn't expect the chef to be so young. ”

"Brother Shan started to learn the craft from his master at the age of four, don't look at him young, but he has more than ten years of cooking experience."

Xiao Zhu was busy explaining.

"Hmm."

Hua Lan nodded and said with a smile: "If Brother Shan settles down, let's sign a contract first, so that it is convenient for you to take care of the aftermath clearly." ”

"What does it mean to sign a contract?"

The contract is an empirical thing, and it would be great if it fell into the hands of the young owner of the Donglai Inn. The young owner of Donglai Inn is a gentle man on the surface, but there are many tricks behind his back. Xiao Lianshan's legs shook and looked at Hua Lan in embarrassment.

"Oh, that's right."

Xiao Lianshan's face changed in a panic, Hua Lan understood his concerns, and had to tell the truth: "Hua Mou is going to Kunlun Mountain this time, and there are very important things to do." Back and forth, there is always a delay in the trip, we both signed this contract, and Brother Shan can take this deed and go directly to the flower house in Kyoto City to wait for our return. This also removes Brother Shan's worries.

The affairs of the restaurant, Hua Mou must have to do. I repaired a book, and naturally there were people in the house who cooperated with Brother Shan to go to various places in Kyoto City to choose sites. It's up to the two of you to decide which shop is suitable. ”

When Hua Lan immediately went to Kyoto City, she didn't leave too much silver taels to Uncle Xi, even if there was a flower full building, a large restaurant, from site selection to decoration is also a large amount of expenditure.

She pondered it carefully and said to the two, "You wait for a while. ”

With that, he walked into the inner room and took out all the pearls in the treasure box.

These pearls are a lot of silver taels when they get a lot of flowers. She went outside and bought a large wooden box, wrote a letter, waxed it and put it on the box.

"You bring this box back to Huafu, and arrangements have been made on this letter. Although you live in Huafu first, when you have chosen a shop, the two of you will be responsible for decorating and recruiting men. For the rest of the things, when I'm done with the things at hand, I'll just go back and deal with them together. ”

Hua Lan patted the box lightly with her hand, "The contents of this box are very valuable, I hope the two of you can keep them properly." When you arrive at Huafu, hand over the boxes and letters to Uncle Xi, and he will arrange everything, please rest assured. ”

"Do you want to take this box?"

Xiao Lianshan looked at the box hesitantly, he seemed to feel a hint of danger approaching: "Young boy, Jinfeng Town is far away from Kyoto City. If the box is valuable, you don't dare to guarantee the safety of the bandits on the road. If the box is snatched by thieves, it will not be washed even if it falls into the Yellow River. Let alone? ”

Xiao Lianshan's eyes opened in astonishment, this little boy is so young, isn't he afraid that we will take this box and run away? How can you simply put such a valuable thing in your own hands?

There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.

Hua Lan didn't believe that the two people in front of her were so short-sighted, and they would give up such a good opportunity and opportunity in Kyoto City for a large box of pearls.

Fortunately, both Xiaolianshan and Xiaozhu are trustworthy people.

Both of them have arrogance in their bones, and they are not greedy for things that are not mine. It's my stuff, and I'm not going to give it up.

"It's all easy to solve."

Hua Lan smiled and took out two wolf smoke from her body, "You bring two wolf smoke cannons." After the affairs of the town are taken care of, you can put a wolf smoke and release the letter cannon, and someone will contact you. Hua repairs another book, and you give the letter to the person who comes. In this way, your safety on the road is guaranteed.

This second wolf smoke is to be used in an extremely urgent moment. When the time comes, someone will come to your aid and keep you safe on the road. If you still have a heart, you can give this box to the person who will take care of you. ”
