() "Murong Xi, it's just that you live more truly than you." With that, Du Mei turned around and hurried away.

She lowered her head and bit her lip, a distinct pain gave her a hint of clarity, she could hear his sadness and sadness, and her despair was long gone, and the only choice she could make was to escape.

Out of the alley, Du Mei was dumbfounded, surrounded by unfamiliar streets and shops, now it was almost a watch, the shops on the street had long been closed, only the lone lamp tassels under the porches of each house were rippling in the wind.

"This is South Street, where do you live, I'll send you back." Chu Lin took Mo Yun and stood behind her and said softly.

The situation is stronger than people, Du Mei doesn't know the way, and there is nowhere to ask for directions, and it is impossible to walk back on her feet, she can only bow her head and say: "Xicheng Wharf." ”

"Come on." Chu Lin, who was on the horse, handed his right hand to Du Mei.

Putting the soft wattle on his hand, his palm was still warm and dry, with the thin calluses generated by holding the sword all year round, and the fingertips touched, with the roughness and strength that a man should have.

Du Mei has been held by him many times, and he has secretly held his hand, ashamed, heartbeat, happy, only this time it was so painful that she burst into tears and couldn't breathe.

Chu Lin bent down and took out his own black dark pattern from the horse bag, wrapped his head around Du Mei who was sitting in front of him, and wrapped her tightly, thinking that she couldn't catch a cold.

At this time, it is the best time of spring, the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms have just bloomed, the magnolia cherry blossoms are on the scene, and the spring night breeze is slightly cool, blowing the sideburns and hair, sending bursts of thick or light flowers and trees to the nose.

At this time, Du Mei couldn't care about these cold and fragrant, her spirit was highly nervous, and she tried her best to sit with her back straight, not daring to face Chu Lin at all. The more she was like this, the more sad Chu Lin felt in his heart, the two of them had not ridden together once or twice, thinking of all the joys in the past, her attitude of rejecting people for thousands of miles at this time really made his heart ache.

"Mei'er, I have only you in my heart from beginning to end, I have a long time to wait, when you understand my sincerity, if you want to hear my explanation one day, I will tell you to listen, if you don't want to for the time being, don't push me away, let me be your friend and always accompany you, okay?" The night was lonely, the night was long, Chu Lin couldn't bear it, and said in a low tone.

Du Mei was silent, as if he hadn't heard, but for a moment the snow neck hung low and his body softened.

"If you don't speak, I'll say yes." Chu Lin was afraid that she would refuse, and after three or two breaths, he muttered to himself.

Du Mei still didn't speak, but Chu Lin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling better: "Are you in trouble in business, how can I help?" ”

"No need." Du Mei quickly refused, "It's almost half of the time I booked out today, but I just made a big fuss in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I'm afraid I'm going to be busy in vain." ”

"You know what that place is? Is it your girl's house that you should go to? How dare you dress like this! If my aunt knew, she wouldn't know how to get angry! Chu Lin raised his voice in annoyance.

"Don't tell my mother." Du Mei shrunk her neck and responded, she was not stupid, although she didn't understand it very well, but she was shocked by Yuan'er in the end, and she was a little afraid.

Chu Lin saw that she suddenly became well-behaved and timid, and was worried that he had scared her just now, so he hurriedly eased his tone and said, "Ming'er, I'll talk to Shaohuai, you can send some to the Drunken Immortal Tower." ”

"I'm not selling to him!" Du Mei shook his head.

"Why is that?" Chu Lin was stunned.

"Mei Kee Restaurant is about to open, how can I let my own dishes be sold to others." When Du Mei talked about business, his mood slowly relaxed, not like

I was so reserved just now.

"When will the restaurant open?" When Chu Lin saw her like this, he deliberately led her to speak.

"When the decoration is done, I will ask Uncle Scrap to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to open." Du Mei thought for a moment and said.

Where did the cook find it, what dishes were going to be cooked, and who would be the shopkeeper...... Chu Lin's questions were strange, but this inspired Du Mei to talk enthusiastically.

Chu Lin believed in the horse's reins all the way, letting the horse's hooves crush the tranquility of the night, he asked from time to time, more often he was listening to Du Mei speak, unconsciously, a little person slowly entered his arms, he didn't dare to move, he only felt that his heart was full of sweet and sour taste.

"Ah, I'm here." Seeing the familiar dock, Du Mei straightened his waist sharply.

Chu Lin's heart was empty all of a sudden!

"I'll watch you go in." Dismounted in front of the delicatessen, Chu Lin stood at the door.

"Okay." Du Mei turned around and closed the door, and the gap became smaller little by little, until Chu Lin was separated outside.

She leaned her back against the door weakly, and slowly slid on the ground, tears flowed down her eyes very uncontrollably, and she realized in hindsight how much she coveted the reassuring taste that belonged to him on the big cloud, and how much she coveted his warm and familiar embrace, which had already been refined into medicine in the past, and it was an addiction that could not be quit after a lifetime!

Xiao Qi heard the sound of opening and closing the door, and came with his worried eyes: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, I'm tired today." Du Mei wiped his face and stood up against the door frame.

"Bang bang" There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who else is coming now?" Xiao Qi asked suspiciously.

"Who?" Du Mei opened his mouth, and it was a tired and hoarse voice.

"Amei, I'm just here to see if you're home." Murong Xi got rid of the soldiers of the Beijing patrol camp, worried about Du Mei's safety, and came over directly.

"I'm tired and worried, it's not early, it's time to go back and rest, we still get up early tomorrow to sell lo-mei." Du Mei said through the door.

"You let me see you." Murong Xi listened to Du Mei's voice, extremely tired, and said with some anxiety.

"See you tomorrow, aren't you going to bring someone to buy snacks?" Murong Xi's heart was as careful as a hair, Du Mei's heart was very chaotic, and she didn't want to see him, so as not to be questioned by him again.

"Alright then, you have a good rest." At this time, it was indeed not appropriate for lonely men and widows to be in the same room at this time, so Murong Xi had to agree.

"Sister, there's water in the pot, you can wash up." Xiao Qi beat Hache, turned around and prepared to go back to his own room to go back to sleep.

"Xiao Qi, is it a letter you sent to King Yan?" Du Mei was puzzled, how could Chu Lin just break in so coincidentally.

"I ...... I didn't worry about Murong Xi, so I used a carrier pigeon to send a message to King Yan. Xiao Qi couldn't hide it, so he had to mutter.

"He is a prince, and he has a lot of opportunities, don't bother him with our little things in the future, okay?" Du Mei squeezed out a smile and touched Xiao Qi's sleeping hair.

"But King Yan said...... forget it, I'll listen to my sister in the future, can I go to sleep?" Xiao Qi was so sleepy that he nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Go, go." Du Mei nudged her.

After Du Mei washed, she went to see Xiao Qi again, she always likes to kick the quilt when she sleeps, and it is still a little cold in the spring night, Du Mei tucked the quilt corner for her.

On the second day, Yan Mo really led two people to buy snacks, Chunxiang Pavilion and Xiaoxiang Pavilion each bought five catties, and they agreed with Du Mei by the way that they would come to get it every day in the future.

In this way, most of the duck wings and duck claws can be sold, and it can be regarded as finding a market, and Du Mei is determined.

Yan Mo is a very boring person, Xiao Qi asked him where Murong Xi was, he only stared at him and didn't say anything, so angry that Xiao Qi ignored him.

The next day, Dumay's delicatessen suddenly became more lively than usual, and many people dressed as servants came to the docks, who specialized in buying snacks and occasionally a little duck breast, which was completely different from the tastes of the people who worked on the docks.

"Auntie, where are you from?" Du Mei asked a mellow and amiable woman as she cut the duck wings.

"My master is from Su Shangshufu, and our aunt read the tabloids in the capital that the snacks here are so delicious that I was specially sent to buy them today." The woman raised the tabloid in her hand and said with a smile.

"Sister Huayan? Beijing tabloid! Du Mei was a little stunned.

"Do you recognize my aunt?" The woman looked surprised.

"I've had a couple of encounters with your aunt, and she has seven very precious firefox dolls. Since you are an acquaintance, I will take a few others to eat with you, but can you lend me your tabloid to see? Du Mei wrapped five extra duck wings and said with a smile.

"The girl is polite, you know my aunt, the tabloid will give it to you." The woman happily took the two oiled paper packets and handed the tabloid to Du May.

"Thank you, thank you." Du Mei thanked him again and again.

There were so many people coming today, the food in the delicatessen was sold out in a while, and the late laborers on the dock didn't buy anything, so it was inevitable that there would be some complaints.

"Sister, look at this posture, shouldn't we kill more ducks every day?" Xiao Qi saw that Du Mei had lost a lot of caution, so he sent everyone away, and frowned.

"You close the counter, and when others see it, they will naturally know that it is sold out. We don't have to bother talking. I'll see what the tabloids say before I make a decision. Du Mei instructed Xiao Qi and went into the back kitchen by himself.

Du Mei flattened the crumpled tabloid and placed it on the dining table to peruse it.

The tabloid newspaper wrote about the fight between Chu Lin and Murong Xi in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion the day before yesterday, and the title was very eye-catching, "Two men fought in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion late at night, and they didn't fight for food!" ”

In the article, the taste of snacks is said to be wild, and it is compared to the fairy food on the peach banquet of the queen mother.

Du Mei knew that what she did was not what was written in the tabloid at all, and after she read it, she laughed for a long time, and then threw it away, not impressing.

Early the next morning, Du Mei opened the counter, looked at the long queue of people outside, and was stunned, she really saw the magic of the tabloid at this time, people are curious, although the snacks she made do not have the effect of fairy food, but it is indeed indisputable delicious, so that there are naturally many buyers, among them, there are many repeat customers.

"Girl, my aunt likes your snacks very much, and she asked me to ask what your name is. You can leave me some today! "Yesterday, the woman saw that Du Mei began to sell, for fear that she would not be able to buy it, and pleaded with yesterday's friendship.

"Everyone calls me plum, and after a while, if the snack is gone, you can also try the salted duck, it tastes good." Du Mei generously reported his name, weighed and reported the money in his hand, in an orderly manner, without delay.

The food was sold out faster than yesterday, and Du Mei asked Xiao Qi to ride a horse to the mountain villa, and asked Lin Yong and his wife to send fifty duck embryos instead.

Du Mei was about to close the counter and go to the back kitchen to re-cook, when he saw Murong Xi coming, and when he came to him, he said with a spring breeze on his face: "How about it, isn't it enough to sell, my method is good." ”
