Three days later. Wang Ji Restaurant still did not welcome guests, but passers-by saw the door open, and the probe of good things looked inside, and a maid immediately came out, and the door was closed again after a breath.

Chang Xi walked back to the hall quickly, and stood beside Zhao Qingmiao as if he was Shen Xiao's right-hand man.

There was a man standing in front of the square table, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a green shirt wrapped tightly in tendons and meat, and a bulging bag on his back. It turned out that he was the son of the third uncle's family mentioned by the Wang family, and he found Zhao Qingmiao when he arrived in Yongcheng today.

Zhao Qingmiao sat idly on a cross-backed chair, crossed her feet, picked up the teacup and sighed softly: Presumably the Wang family made heaven and earth later, and his uncle agreed to this matter. Then she can only arrange it well.

Li Gui put down his bags, looked around the deserted lobby, and said proudly: "I heard my cousin say that we are all relatives on the surface." I'm used to making flowing water banquets, and if Wang Ji Restaurant is not busy, I don't rarely come. ”

This person will enter the door less than a moment, and he will begin to be unceremoniously picky, as if the small temple deigned to his big Buddha.

"Whoa", Zhao Qingmiao splashed the water in the teacup on the ground, and said in a slightly strange tone: "Why did a worm fall out of this tea?" He raised his eyes again and smiled: "Well, what did you just say?" She handed the teacup aside.

Shen Xiao took it silently. He stood tall and straight, his face was clear, he saw through Zhao Qingmiao's careful thoughts, and hooked his lips lightly.

Li Gui was choked by Zhao Qingmiao's words, his face was a little ugly, thinking that he couldn't get angry yet, he couldn't bear to roll up his sleeves and said, "I'll show you my hands, and you'll talk about wages after you finish eating." ”

The world is big, the salary is the largest, but he is a real person.

Zhao Qingmiao bowed his head and let others toss inside, while he leaned slightly and leaned against the side of the tea case, raised his hand to support his forehead, his eyes slowly wandered to Shen Xiao's face, and said casually: "Shen Jiu, your face seems to be a little whiter." ”

Shen Xiao rubbed his cheeks slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Xu is nourished by the daily soup and water and steamed bread noodles in the Zhao Mansion." ”

The interest on Zhao Qingmiao's face was greatly reduced, and the corners of his mouth pressed down: "Are you saying that my Zhao family treats people harshly?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Shen Xiao lowered his eyes, and there was no panic on his face.

In Zhao Qingmiao's opinion, Shen Jiu is not very old, either sometimes cold, or deliberately ruffian, or handsome and outstanding, which makes people feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.

There were just three of them in the hall, and they could hear the sound of knives chopping on the board from the back kitchen. After a while, there was a splashing sound of the oil pot, and then something got out of the pot, and the spatula turned over the iron pot, and the spicy smell wafted out from under the curtain.

The three of them rolled their eyes, sniffed the aroma, and couldn't help but swallow.

In the middle of the night, the curtain was lifted, and I saw Li Gui striding with two dishes and a confident face.

"Taste it." The plate was placed on the table, and he propped his arms on the edge of the table, his eyes full of pride.

Zhao Qingmiao picked up the eggplant and fried minced meat, chewed and swallowed, took a sip of water, and then tasted another braised fish piece.

"Spicy with a little salty and fresh, it's acceptable."

Li Gui listened to Zhao Qingmiao's meaning and accepted it, and his heart was relieved. His eyebrows suddenly raised, and the corners of his mouth opened even more.

He has always felt that his cooking skills are not bad, but before he came, he heard from the Wang family that this Miss Zhao Er was not easy to deal with, and he deliberately raised his self-esteem for fear of being looked down upon.

"Then my salary—"

"According to Wang Ji's previous rules, the monthly money is five taels, and the dividend can be sealed at the end of the year."

"What?!" Li Gui thought that he had misheard, and his eyebrows instantly twisted into a knot and said, "I used to be—"

Zhao Qingmiao simply got up, flicked her sleeves and said, "This is the rule of the restaurant, if you don't like it, you can go to your aunt and sue me." However, Wang Ji was handed over to me by my grandfather for the time being, so presumably he didn't care about this kind of thing. ”

Li Gui thought that he would get a good price one moment ago, but the next moment he was blocked by someone with a word. If he really went to the Wang family to complain, wouldn't he seem to be a big man and a small family. What's more, listening to the meaning, it is this Miss Zhao Er who is in charge of the restaurant right now!

It's not right to be horizontal or vertical! He struggled again and said: "Hmph, don't fool me, who doesn't know that Wang Ji is short of cooks, if I hadn't been persuaded by my cousin to come......"

"Forgot to say, did you see the prosperity of the door? I have already gone to see their big boss, and they are hesitating to switch to our Wang Ji Restaurant. Zhao Qingmiao finished speaking unhurriedly, and deliberately snubbed him for a while before staring at him.

That Li Gui's expression really changed, and his heart was already defeated.

Zhao Qingmiao pretended not to want to cause trouble after thinking about it, and said, "That's it, it's just a relative of my uncle." You see, this is good - five taels a month for the first three months, and then seven taels a month for you. If you still don't think it's possible, I can't be the master. ”

Li Gui lifted it in one breath, unwillingly vented, and when he mentioned it again, he was only depressed, and secretly said that he had planted it in the hands of the second young lady, gritted his teeth, and could only agree to be the first.

Li Gui went to find a place to settle down, and Zhao Qingmiao ordered Chang Xi to buy some things, to change Wang Ji a little bit and ask for something new when welcoming guests.

After the arrangements were made, she took Shen Xiao out of Wang Ji.

The two walked slowly along Dongchang Street all the way, getting more and more deviant, and when they were about to reach the mouth of a narrow alley, Shen Xiao's eyes jumped and couldn't help but call.

"Miss, this place is inconvenient to enter."

The brocade clothes are indeed incompatible with the surroundings.

The alley was deserted, and the corners of Zhao Qingmiao's clothes flew through a gust of wind. The figure fell in Shen Xiao's eyes, and he only felt that he could be bullied.

Zhao Qingmiao paused, his clear eyes were full of puzzlement, and he asked him, "Are you afraid?" ”

…… Afraid of a bird. Shen Xiao opened his mouth and closed it consciously boring.

This place is Longju Alley. There was a faint noise in the depths, some dogs barked, some little two cries, and the eaves on both sides of the aisle were close together, and the light was not as bright as in the market.

Shen Xiao secretly thought that there were a bunch of poor people living in this place, and maybe he would be able to meet a thief who was robbing him later.

Zhao Qingmiao saw that he was silent, so he continued to walk inside.

Suddenly, two children, one older and one younger, ran up from behind, holding fishing rods and baskets in their hands, and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, you will be beaten if you go home late!" ”

Probably because he was used to it, he rushed between Zhao Qingmiao and Shen Xiao, and he didn't apologize when he hit someone, he just turned around and made a grimace and slipped away.

Zhao Qingmiao was first stepped on by one of them, and immediately stumbled in pain, but as soon as the pebbles on the ground slipped, his body was immediately unstable, and he was about to fall to the side-

Fortunately, he was grabbed by Shen Xiao's long arm and dragged back.

This time, the two of them were close together, and without warning, Zhao Qingmiao's lips touched Shen Xiao's chin.

During the shock, the two looked at each other, both stunned.

Oops, oops, oops! Zhao Qingmiao's heart was in turmoil at the moment, and she didn't know how to react at all.

Shen Xiao was a man after all, and he quickly calmed down, facing that innocent face, and his voice was full of teasing chuckles: "Miss, I haven't won the crown yet." ”

Zhao Qingmiao was embarrassed and annoyed when she heard this, pushed him away, stood firm and turned her face, wiped her lips with her sleeve, and said in a cold tone: "So what? ”

"It's not good that you're in such a hurry."
