Extra: Mermaid Chapter 1: The mysterious proprietress of the delicious food shop
The light bell looked out through the crack in the door.
Bustling outside the door, today is the day of the market, and now it is almost noon, which is the most lively time of the day.
"Damn, why haven't you left yet!"
Qingling muttered a sentence in her mouth and stomped her foot a little anxiously.
On this good day, her shop is counting on this market day to make some money. But Liusheng, who is dead-eyed, has been unrelenting since he saw her a few days ago. He chased after the restaurant she opened, but actually squatted outside and didn't leave! As a result, she didn't open for business for several days. She has no income in the past few days, which really makes her sad to death!
"Boss, is that person still outside?" Xiao Yi saw that Qingling had been squatting by the door and looking out, so he couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"Yes." Qingling replied to the small one, and rolled her eyes widely.
"If you want me to say, let's just report to the official!" Xiao Yi said, "That person is unknown, and he is actually blocked at the door of our shop, telling us how to open the door to do business?" There is no income these days, and the shop has been closed. This familiar guest thought that our shop had closed down! ”
"I can't report to the official." Qingling was a little helpless and said to Xiao Yi.
"Why?" Xiao Yi was puzzled.
Qingling shook her head and said, "Anyway, I just can't report it." ”
She really didn't know how to explain this question to Xiao Yi and the guys in the store.
Half a year ago, she came to Yanzhou City, but she couldn't find a life-saving benefactor, and she didn't want to go back, so she simply opened a restaurant in Yanzhou. I didn't expect the business of this shop to be surprisingly good. Until the arrival of Liusheng...... These six sheng are really a fight with a donkey! She said she didn't want to go back, why did she force her like this!
"Boss, this official can't be reported, and it can't be opened, what should we do? The whole family is waiting to eat! Another guy in the shop said.
Hearing this, Qingling glared at him and said, "Why can't you eat?" ”
"Isn't it just that it hasn't opened for a few days, and I'll still pay you!" Qingling said with a head raised.
The guy listened, pursed his lips, didn't speak, and muttered in his heart: "I'm not thinking about our shop?" You're not in a hurry now, if you keep doing this, I don't think you're in a hurry! ”
Besides, this man squatted at the door of the shop every day, and they couldn't go home to the front door, but had to go out through the back door. When the neighbors saw it, they thought they had done something wrong!
Seeing that they didn't speak, Qingling just sat on the bench and stared dryly, and sighed helplessly in her heart.
She didn't want that to be the ...... It's just that Liusheng guy didn't listen to her explanation! No, it really can't go on like this, she has to think of a way!
Qingling fell into thought, thinking about how to find a reason to persuade Liusheng to go back, when there was a sudden commotion outside the recipe.
"Excuse me...... Is this a good food shop? A voice rang out outside the door.
Qingling couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this voice, who?
Liusheng squatted outside the door, saw someone coming, and frowned.
He glanced at the door, and the door of the restaurant was still closed, untouched.
"Yes. You are ......," Liusheng replied.
The person who came was a fat man, with a kind face, and he was dressed very gracefully and luxuriously. Hearing Liusheng's words, the man clasped his fist at Liusheng and said, "I am the housekeeper of Tu Mansion." On the order of my lord, I came to invite the proprietress of the restaurant to my house! ”
"Tu Fu? What's the matter with you? ”
The door creaked open, and the bell walked out.
What's going on? Why is it that in addition to Liusheng now, the people from Tu Mansion actually come to look for her?
The housekeeper saw the light bell, and saw that the woman in front of him was wearing a green shirt, her face was covered with a veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, only revealing a pair of big and watery eyes. The eyes looked at him, shining with a crystal light, as if they were like two bright holes, looking at it, it would suck people in!
These eyes are actually lilac!
Purple eyes?
The butler looked at the light bell with a look of surprise on his face.
Seeing the housekeeper's expression, Qingling immediately realized something, and she secretly shouted in her heart: "Damn! Then he secretly used his magic.
In just a moment, Light Bell's eyes turned black.
The butler blinked, a little incredulous. These eyes were obviously light purple just now, why did they turn black all of a sudden?
Could it be that I was wrong?
Before the butler could think about it, he was interrupted by the words of the light bell.
"Who are you, and what are you looking for me?" The light bell said to the butler.
The butler then remembered the purpose of his visit.
"Are you, the proprietress of a good food shop?" The housekeeper asked the light bell.
The light bell nodded.
The head of the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy expression appeared on his face.
"I'm the housekeeper of Tu Mansion. That's the case, my young master had a serious illness some time ago, and after he got better, he fell into the root of the disease and kept coughing. The doctors in this city of Yanzhou have searched all over the city, but they are not good, so I came to ask the proprietress to take a trip! The butler said.
As soon as the housekeeper said this, Qingling immediately understood.
She was originally the holy daughter of the mermaid clan, and came to Anzhou City half a year ago in order to find her life-saving benefactor.
Her savior, who had saved her when she was little. For his impression, the light bell only stayed at the way he looked when he was a child. After so many years, she finally found a chance to get out of Yaoguang Palace, but that person is really hard to find!
The only evidence she could be sure of that man was his savior, was the mark she had left on his wrist.
It's just that in this vast ancient Annihilation Country, a Annihilation State has already made her unable to start, how should she find it?
Half a year ago, when she first came to land from the bottom of the sea, she used a spell to connect to the mark on his wrist, sensing that he should be in Annihilation. It's just that after she came to Annihilation, the feeling became very faint again. She is not human, and leaving the Yaoguang Temple has already violated the clan rules. From the moment she left, the merfolk had been looking for her. If she uses the spell repeatedly, she will soon be sensed by the merfolk.
Light Bell didn't want to be caught. So he had no choice but to give up and opened a restaurant incognito in Anzhou. She has excellent medical skills and cooking skills, so she had a whimsical idea to add medicinal herbs to her meals and make them into medicinal meals for sale, but she didn't expect them to be surprisingly popular!
Presumably, the housekeeper came to look for her because of this medicinal diet.
"Since it's to save people, then I'll take a trip." Qingling said.
The housekeeper was overjoyed and hugged his fist at the light bell.
"The proprietress is kind, and Tu Fu is grateful. Please also rest assured that our Tu Mansion will never let the proprietress go in vain, this consultation fee will definitely not be less! ”
Qingling nodded and sighed helplessly.
She didn't go to Tufu because of this medical fee, but she was blocked in this shop by Liusheng for several days, and she was about to suffocate to death!
Qingling didn't look at Liusheng, but followed the housekeeper directly. She originally thought that Liusheng would stop her, but she didn't expect Liusheng to say a word, just silently followed her.
The light bell was a little strange, but I didn't think much of it. Liusheng is the guard of the mermaid clan and her personal guard. They grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is very close. Qingling has always treated him as an older brother.
Half a year ago, she deceived him and left the Yaoguang Palace without permission, which must have caused him a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Qingling felt a little guilty in her heart. But even so, she didn't want to go back!
She must find her savior, or she will never have peace of mind for the rest of her life!
Qingling thought, and unconsciously came to Tu Mansion.
Anzhou is the center of the ancient Anzhou Kingdom, and almost all the people living in the north of the city are officials. As a saintess of the mermaid clan, Qingling naturally doesn't care about any court affairs, but the Tu family knows a little bit about it.
The Tu family is not a big official, and Master Tu is just a small thorn in the history of the ancient Annihilation Kingdom. But the Tu family is famous in Anzhou, not because of Master Tu's political achievements, but because of the Tu family's back house.
Master Tu went early with his wife, leaving a son to paint. Tu Mo has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he will never forget it, but unfortunately his body is weak and he is a sick man. I got sick at both ends in three days, and the medicine couldn't be stopped. The doctors in this Annihilated City are all frequent visitors to Tu Mansion. And Master Tu later continued a string and gave birth to another son, but he did not have the qualifications of Tu Mo. The continuation is ruthless, and after getting started, the entire Tu Mansion is almost in control. It is difficult to apply the ink at every turn. Master Tu didn't dare to interfere because of his wife's pungency, so Tu Mo's life in Tu's mansion was very tormented.
What is obviously Tu Mo, the eldest son of Tu Mansion, but at the request of Mrs. Tu, he moved to the edge of Tu Mansion to live. In addition, Mrs. Tu also took away all the property left to him by Tu Mo's mother on the grounds that Tu Mo was sick and had a lot of expenses, and so on.
After coming and going, I listened to it a lot, and Qingling couldn't help but feel sympathy for this ink.
How embarrassing this must be!
But sympathy is sympathy, and light bells can't help with ink. After all, she had her own business to do. Because Tu Mo is not in good health, it is estimated that she rarely goes out, and she has never seen Tu Mo. What those diners say is just an after-dinner conversation to listen to.
"Hostess, please."
When he came to the door of Tu's mansion, the housekeeper called a servant girl and led the light bell inside.
Qingling glanced back at Liusheng. Liusheng also stopped and looked at her.
"He's a guy in my shop, can you come in with me?" Light Bell said to the butler.
The housekeeper glanced at Liusheng. Liusheng listened to Qingling's words, and his originally tense expression suddenly improved a lot.
The housekeeper hesitated a little, and when Qingling saw this, he added: "I need him to give me a hand." ”
The butler listened and nodded.
"Okay."
The corners of Liusheng's mouth hooked up slightly.
He lowered his head and went in with the light bell.
The bell followed the maidservant and walked through the corridor to the house where Tumo lived.
