Chapter Seventy-Five: Drunken Gaffes
Both of them were secretly fighting in their hearts.
Qi Qingchu decided to check if there was something inside her side, and gave the news to Xi Zien.
And Xi Zien was thinking about when the younger brother of the boss of Suiyuanju would come back, and then carefully investigated his relationship with Qi Qingchu.
The two people with different thoughts went back to their homes along the same road, and they didn't pay attention to each other when they separated.
However, this has become accustomed to the servants of the two families.
In the dry and cool autumn, Rao is night is sultry, and the banquet at the end of the song is gone.
The shop where the last light was turned off was Li Jicai's shop.
She waited until everyone else was gone before she began to clean up, so that no one could disturb her.
Li Jiye was not at home at night, and Xiao Erhei was taken back by Xiao Shunzi to raise him for two days, so Li Jicai simply lived in the store.
The man who usually keeps vigil has drunk too much wine today, and he has already fallen drunk, and he was carried back to his room to sleep by everyone.
Maybe it's because you've been busy all day and you're hungry. Or maybe because it was a meal cooked by himself, Li Jicai ate all the remaining dishes on Qi Qingchu's table, and drank two jars of wine.
To be honest, this ancient wine is still a good drink compared to modern drinks.
Li Jicai didn't understand any of the so-called ways of tasting wine, so he knew that this wine was spicy and pungent in his throat, and he was easy to blush and have a big tongue when he drank it.
Unpleasant.
said that it was to relieve worries and forget worries, and said that the more you drank, the more dizzy you became, the more you could put it down, but how did Li Jicai feel that the more he drank, the more sober his head became?
Stumbling to his feet and pushing open the second-floor window, the gorgeous moonlight poured in.
Li Jicai's body was a little unstable, and he almost didn't fall down, but he still clung to the edge of the window, shivered, turned around and rubbed against the wall next to him, and slowly slid down against the wall.
Floated, floated.
Wiping the cold sweat on the door, the wine stayed in the mouth for a long time, and the smell of fermentation was a little unpleasant, and even some nausea wanted to vomit.
"I knew I wouldn't drink it, it's really unpleasant." My heart is like a fire, it's so uncomfortable!
Li Jicai muttered lowly in his mouth, muttering gibberish words.
Later, for some reason, he suddenly yelled: "I'm so uncomfortable!!!!! ”
No one answered her, only a room of silence, and everyone else slept.
The soundproofing of the house is very good, unless there is water, otherwise no one will really get up for a woman to suddenly see what is going on.
Li Jicai sat on the ground decadently, big tears fell, and the sound of "let's da" on the bright and clean floor was very crisp.
Nameless and sad, tears and tears.
Li Jicai didn't know why he was so sad all of a sudden, seeing that his career was thriving every day, making more and more money, and Li Jiye was also admitted, what else was bad?
She has been in ancient times for more than three years, and she doesn't know if she can go back, and if she does, will there be a whole corpse? Or has it long since turned into a pinch of loess in the wind, will anyone be sad because of her departure?
The world is big, and the four seas are home. When will she find a place of peace when she is wandering?
Or is it that all her life, she, an outsider, has died in this foreign land?
Mrs. Fan unconsciously thought of Mrs. Fan again, and when she was with Mrs. Fan, she couldn't feel her homesickness all the time.
The large number of seeds that have been preserved and only planted in her hometown represent Mrs. Fan's deep nostalgia for her hometown.
But until she died, Mrs. Fan was not able to return to her hometown.
Li Jicai hesitated and doubted whether he could be reborn in ancient times and completely abandon the modern life of the past.
Whether she is old, she will be like Mrs. Fan, who regrets her hometown and cherishes her hometown.
That's where she grew up, after all.
How difficult it is for a person to accept the social life of a completely different world. The eighteen-year-old girl has become a fifty-eight-year-old girl.
The thoughts in my mind were like waves crashing against the shore, constantly hitting the sand castle built by Li Jicai.
In this lonely night, Li Jicai was completely defeated.
The ups and downs of life, the unspeakable feeling of pain is about to come out, and the inexplicable panic and desolation and helplessness are vividly triggered at this moment.
Li Jicai wept while comforting herself, she still has this Suiyuan residence, and she is grateful to the late Mrs. Fan, she also has Li Jiye, and Xiao Erhei, as well as loyal and sincere guys, and many good people who know each other, and a small courtyard. And those who desire......
At least, she still has these, if she is gone, lost, Li Jicai doesn't know what courage she still has to survive in this other world alone.
If a person lives, he must defend something, he must protect something, and he must fight for something.
Then, let her hold on to this "home".
Jiangfu, Jiang Li, if there is a fate to see you again, if you can find a way to go back, then go back.
When the time comes, Li Jiye will definitely have a successful career, a harmonious family, and Xiao Erhei will definitely be able to entrust him.
At that time, she should have been old.
Oh! That's right! There is also the matter of Mrs. Fan, she has to do her best to find the murderer who killed Mrs. Fan, as long as she does not abandon or give up, there will definitely be results.
"Yes, yes, I want this, I want that! I still want to ......," Li Jicai said and thought again.
But between the eyebrows, there is still a kind of loss that cannot be concealed, and in most cases this emotion is inexplicable.
Seeing Qi Qingchu unexpectedly today reminded her of the experience when she was isolated and helpless, and was violently beaten by the butcher to save the Qi Mansion.
It was because of that experience that Qi Qingchu unintentionally or intentionally gave her a dress, and she felt full of gratitude and indescribable warmth.
This warmth is like the sun hanging overhead, and it is not unique to her.
Or perhaps, the arrival of Qi Qingchu has also awakened and revealed her long-standing pain points to a certain extent.
Or, because of the alcohol you drank today, you should be cranky and vent your anger.
I don't know how long it took to vent, Li Jicai's neck was crooked, he fell down diagonally, and his face was pressed against the floor.
I had some difficulty breathing, I felt like something was strangling my neck, and I couldn't breathe.
The stomach was swollen and uncomfortable, I hiccuped a few times, and after vomiting for a while, the ground was a mess, my face was red and purple, and I looked a little terrible, and finally I honestly stopped moving and fell asleep.
As a result of the hangover, the next day's Suiyuanju opened the door late.
The only chef has slept to death, and no one is in charge, so what is the restaurant going to do?
When Niu Runze came to the store early the next morning, he still felt strange that Li Jicai had always been the first to come.
When he usually came to the store, Li Jicai was already standing at the counter and greeting him with a smile.
But today, she is not seen.
After patting the front door for a long time, no one answered, so Niu Runze had to knock from the back door.
Fortunately, the guy went to bed early last night, and the amount of wine he practiced was okay, and under Niu Runze's vigorous knock on the door, he successfully woke him up and urged him to come over and open the door.
The people in the restaurant were very happy last night, and it is understandable that they came later.
"Where's the boss?" Niu Runze asked suspiciously.
The guy just woke up, his mind was not fully awake, he yawned and rubbed his eyes, smelled the stench in his mouth and quickly covered his mouth and nose again, but he was smoked and vomited.
"Hmm, huh? Boss? I didn't see it! I guess I'm still asleep! ”
Li Jicai's room is in the front, and the man's room is in the backyard.
It's three poles in the sun, and you're still asleep?
But thinking that she might have been very tired yesterday, it was normal to get up late, so he went to the kitchen to boil some hot water for freshening up.
He didn't want to rush into the woman's room, so he should wait for Li Jicai to come out by himself.
Niu Runze didn't know that at this moment, Li Jicai was not in his room, but sleeping at the wine table in the box on the second floor.
A little later, others followed.
Xiao Shunzi and Sanshi are helping the cook to bring vegetables to the house, and every day, vegetable farmers come to deliver food on time and on time.
Li Jicai has specially said hello in the past few days and asked the vegetable farmers to come later, so the vegetables are almost sold, and he said that he would go with the fate of the house.
In addition to Li Jicai is a woman, the cook is a woman.
"Sister-in-law Wu, please do something, the boss is still asleep, and the situation is almost over, it's time to urge her to get up, and the store still has to do business."
It's almost noon, and people are coming to eat one after another, and the chef is not awake, what do people eat at noon?
"Alas, alas! Xiucai, what you said is, let's go. "Sister-in-law Wu is a cheerful person, and she agrees to what Niu Runze said, and she is also generous when she usually does things.
It has been more than two years since I came to Suiyuanju, and he is diligent, and Li Jicai's salary is also fair and more, so the hearts of the people in the store are also stable.
When Sister-in-law Wu went to Li Jicai's room, she first knocked on the door hard, and then waited for a few seconds.
But there was no movement in it, which was very strange, Sister-in-law Wu used to wake up Li Jicai when she knocked on the door.
Li Jicai sleeps lightly and often wakes up early, and Sister-in-law Wu wakes her up only a handful of times.
"Claws? What about people? Sister-in-law Wu was a little strange, and pushed the door in as soon as she stretched out her hand.
As a result, the bed was empty, the quilt was neatly folded, and the room was deserted, and it didn't look like someone had slept last night.
"The boss is not in the room? Ay! Where did the boss go?! How many of you are looking for it?! Sister-in-law Wu was stunned for a moment, and then she hurriedly ran out and shouted to everyone in the backyard.
The guy who was washing, Xiao Er, who was carrying vegetables, and Niu Runze, who was in command, all turned their heads to look at Sister-in-law Wu.
Then he immediately put down the business at hand, and went separately to find someone, who must have been in the store after all.
Xiao Shunzi was clever, and subconsciously jumped to the second floor where the boss was yesterday.
Sure enough, I found Li Jicai who had slept on the ground all night.
The cups and plates on the table were clean, but the floor was miserable.
Li Jicai's face was on the ground, his buttocks were pouting towards the sky, and his posture was quite indecent. It looks like a hangover.
But wasn't it okay last night? Why did you drink like this later?
Xiao Shunzi squatted beside Li Jicai, then gently poked Li Jicai with his finger, and then shouted in a low voice: "Boss? Boss? ”
Li Jicai didn't pay attention to him, his eyelids were very heavy, and he slept very dead.
"Boss? Boss? Xiao Shunzi didn't give up, and called by his side for a while.
Niu Runze stood next to him and frowned, he was fine last night, why was it such a scene when he came to see it this morning?
"Don't call her, help her to the room, don't open the main business today, sell some others at will, Sister-in-law Wu will do it, as for the boss, wait until she wakes up." Usually when Li Jicai is not there, it is Niu Runze who is in charge.
Sanshi counted the wine jars on the table, then shook them again, and said calmly: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't drink much, but the boss's amount of wine is too bad!" ”
Everyone didn't speak, you look at me, I look at you.
In their impression, Li Jicai rarely drinks alcohol, and basically does not drink at all.
I don't know what it was for last night, why did I drink for some reason?
didn't dare to delay more, so he helped Li Jicai to the room.
Fortunately, Niu Runze boiled the water in advance, and Sister-in-law Wu quickly scrubbed Li Jicai up and down, and then changed her into clean and refreshing clothes, so that he could sleep comfortably on the bed.
In the room on the second floor, because the smell of alcohol is too strong, the windows are temporarily open for ventilation, and the table and table are cleaned up by Xiaoshunzi and Sanshi, and they have returned to their previous neat appearance.
Towards noon, many regular customers come to eat as usual.
But today, Suiyuanju didn't open the fire, only sold some pancakes and fruits, and sold some simple food recipes that Li Jicai handed over to Wu's sister-in-law.
Others asked the reason, Liu Runze, as the bookkeeper and the acting shopkeeper, naturally stood up and said that it was because Suiyuanju had been holding a banquet for the past three days, which was more messy, and the interior needed to be rectified, and it would be fine the next day.
The diners who have eaten here for three days also know about it, so they can understand it, and they just buy some food and leave, without causing them much of a burden.
At noon, a few people who lived with fate also had a hasty meal.
At the dinner table, the little grandson also speculated about the reason for the boss's drinking, but no one paid attention to him, so he was bored and stopped saying anything.
Li Jicai has been in a coma all the time, and he slept until sunset.
In her own words: "How do you sleep like a pig?" ”
But when she woke up with a hangover and headache, she was surrounded by her employees, all of whom looked at her with concerned faces.
Li Jicai was so moved that he almost didn't shed tears.
"As soon as I was happy yesterday, I couldn't help but drink a little more, celebrate and celebrate, hahahaha, don't care don't care."
