CHAPTER XXII
"Tianxiangju!"
Chu Muxiu led me to a restaurant, this restaurant not only has a good name, but also the decoration inside is extremely gorgeous, the hollow carved windows shine into the speckled sunlight, and the stars reflected on the floor are particularly beautiful, similar to the drunken immortal residence in Huancheng.
If you want to come to King Yi's identity, you are naturally worthy of this restaurant, so let's go in and find a table and sit down. Outside the restaurant, the noise is extraordinary, and the cries of small vendors come and go. The women in the building are gorgeous, and the piano and dance music are very beautiful, attracting many people to admire.
Xiao Er ran over and poured tea for us while wiping the table, "Oh, what do you want to eat, our store has a signature dish of crab roe and fresh mushrooms, and the crabs are transported from Xunzhou all the way, fresh and fat!" ”
"Then come to one, the palace is not a child, what do you want to eat?" I may have been stupid from hunger, and I almost missed my mouth when I turned my head to ask Chu Muxiu.
"Not too spicy, not too sweet, not too salty." Chu Muxiu didn't seem to have too many expectations and too high requirements.
"Light, okay, let's have a ......," I looked up, "I've already ordered a crab roe mushroom, right?" ”
Xiao Er said: "Yes, Miss has already ordered a crab roe mushroom!" ”
I looked at the sign on the wall that said there were a lot of delicious food, touched my stomach again, and then looked at Chu Muxiu who was stunned on the side. Thinking in my heart that he could buy me a sugar gourd for ten taels of silver, and he couldn't tell how much money he was hiding on his body, wouldn't I have no worries and could eat it with my stomach.
I pointed to the wall: "That'...... Then let's have a dew bamboo shoot with chicken, night shrimp, rock sugar Xianglian, crispy fried crucian carp, a bear paw, fish-flavored shredded pork, winter melon Gu, snowflake chicken, Jin Lufu, sauce beef, and then give me two braised pig's trotters, a bigger one, that's all! ”
"Little Er, Little Er, I'm done!"
I called him several times before he came to his senses: "Oh, Miss added something at the end, I don't remember you talking too fast!" ”
I leaned closer to Xiao Er and called out to his earlobe: "I said add two more braised pig's trotters, it should be bigger!" ”
"Oh, I heard it clearly this time, guest officer, you take a sip of tea first and wait, this dish will be served in a while!"
I waved at him, "Go, go, go!" ”
"Hey, come back, come back!"
When I turned my face and picked up the tea, I saw Chu Muxiu's face tense, and I thought in my heart that it was terrible, and I didn't have the lightness that Chu Muxiu liked, so I called Xiao Er back again.
Xiao Er bent over and said, "What else does the guest officer have to order?"
"Is there anything a little lighter in your store, my friend him, he ......" I glanced at Chu Muxiu, "He has a weak body and is taboo to eat!" ”
"Ahem, cough, cough" Chu Mu was choked on the tea as he drank it, put down the teacup and glared at me directly, making my scalp tingle.
I took the opportunity to ask him, "Yes, yes, yes, what do you want to eat, what do you want to eat?" ”
Chu Muxiu put away his eyes, his mouth opened slightly, "Then come to a white ......"
I waited and patted the table anxiously: "White rice, do you want to eat white rice, yes, why didn't I think of it, how light this white rice is." Xiao Er, just give me a bowl of white rice, and then I want one of the braised pig's trotters! ”
I beckoned to Xiao Er again: "Go, go, hurry!" ”
"Gotta do it!"
"Hey, I'm not going to ......" Chu Muxiu was so excited that he straightened up.
I pressed him down again: "I know, I've already told Xiao Er to give you more to eat, don't worry." ”
I said this, Chu Muxiu still glared at me, but I was not angry, "What are you staring at?" Don't be afraid of your eyes falling off! ”
As soon as I said this, he didn't glare at me, and turned his head to the other side to drink tea, I was strange, why is he always angry for no reason, the son in this palace is Jin Gui, I can't afford to provoke him!
"Here comes the food!"
Xiao Er held a large wooden plate, and then brought up all the dishes he had just ordered, I rubbed my hands and couldn't wait to stand up, just smelling the smell made me salivate.
"The dishes are all ready, guest officer, you use it slowly!"
I looked at these dishes and my eyes lit up: "Okay, good, let's go, let's go!" ”
"And we're going to eat?" I took the chopsticks and asked Chu Muxiu.
He nodded and picked up his chopsticks as well.
"Da!"
I picked up all the dishes and brought the big bowl of white rice to Chu Muxiu, "Don't you like to eat greasy things, this big bowl of white rice is for you, eat quickly, eat quickly!" Chu Muxiu slowly withdrew his chopsticks, and then slammed them into the bowl of white rice.
I took the chopsticks and bit it again: "So many delicious foods, all of them are mine, I can finally eat a big meal!" ”
I picked up a piece of chicken and closed my eyes, "Well, that's delicious, this chicken is fluffy and tender." ”
Originally, I was sitting, but the food was too far away for me to reach, so I simply stood on the stool, stretched out my hand as long as I could, and tried to finish every dish.
I couldn't stop eating, standing on the stool while wiping my mouth with my sleeve while stuffing something into my mouth, "This crucian carp is fried on the outside and tender on the inside, it is called a fragrant, and this braised pig's trotters are fat but not greasy and chewy, my God, this is really the most delicious pig's trotters I have ever eaten when I grew so big!" ”
"I'm full, it's the most enjoyable meal I've had in three days!" Within two efforts, I had eaten all the dishes on the table, lay on the chair and touched my stomach leisurely, ready to rest before leaving.
I didn't care about Chu Muxiu when I was eating, and now I squinted and glanced at the empty bowl left, Chu Muxiu really only ate a bowl of white rice, I don't know if he was polite or really didn't like to eat.
"Have you eaten yet?" Chu Muxiu seemed to grit his teeth a little when he asked me, and he looked impatient.
"Okay, I'm afraid I can last until tomorrow morning after eating this meal!" I didn't care, and shouted to Xiao Er to come and settle the bill.
The little second-hand man was still touching the abacus: "Guest officer, you have eaten a total of three taels and two dollars!" ”
"Oh, ask him for money!" I pointed at Chu Muxiu with one hand and touched my stomach with the other.
"Childe, three, two, two money!" Xiao Er stretched out his hand to Chu Muxiu.
Chu Muxiu glanced at Xiao Er disdainfully: "I don't have any money." ”
"You don't have any money, don't make such jokes, hurry up and settle the bill, you have to hurry!" I didn't take Chu Muxiu's words seriously at all, and the person who spent ten taels of silver to buy a sugar gourd said that there was no money to eat, and I would never believe it.
"I really don't have any money!"
I jumped down from the chair all of a sudden: "No, Chu Muxiu, how can you have no money, you gave ten taels to others just now to buy those sugar gourds, and now you actually say that you have no money?" ”
Chu Muxiu was helpless: "I lost a lot of money when I was chased that day, and those ten taels were the only ingots of silver on my body!" ”
I patted my head, and then I put my hands on my waist and spun around the ground several times in a hurry, "What kind of sugar gourd do you buy without money?" ”
"I thought you had money for food!"
"If I have the money to eat, I can still use you to buy sugar gourds!"
"Then you didn't say you didn't have any money!"
"Then why don't you say that you don't have any money?"
"Then you didn't ask, how do I know if you have any money!"
"I'll ask you anything, you're really a piece of wood."
"Pound!"
"Stop arguing, what about your tongue twisters?" Xiao Er called the boss, and the boss slapped the table.
Chu Muxiu and I closed our mouths in an instant, and the entire restaurant became silent, and I looked up to see that everyone around me was staring at the two of us.
"In a word, do you two have any money?" The boss yelled at me and Chu Muxiu is spittle, which made my ears hurt.
I covered my ears and lowered my head without making a sound, but Chu Muxiu raised his head high, looking like he was fine.
The boss bowed down and looked around us, "I think you look like locals, right?" ”
My pupils dilated: "Boss, good eyes, we are indeed not locals!" ”
"If you don't have a local, you can eat without giving money, and you can eat overlord meals?"
The boss shouted at my ear again, I quickly covered my ear tighter, and glanced at Chu Muxiu, suggesting that he hurry up and find a way, but he always looked like he was not in a hurry, I was really going to die.
I tore off a piece of paper from the account book of the junior two: "Boss, it's not that we don't have money, and we don't want to eat any overlord meals, we just got separated from our friends and didn't have any money with us." Otherwise, can you remember this account and then give us an IOU, and then we will return it to you twice as much when we come back and pass through here? ”
"Why should I believe you as a small businessman, if I give you an IOU and you go out, you turn your face and don't admit it, who will I ask for money when the time comes. If it's a few ordinary side dishes, it's okay, but if you look at it, the table you order is full of expensive dishes! The boss pointed to the empty plates on the table, and tears almost fell from his eyes.
"Then it's up to you to see what we need to do to make this meal!" When Chu Muxiu begged for help, it was no different from usual, but now he looked like he was a creditor.
"This ......" the boss finally breathed a sigh of relief and snapped his fingers, "In this way, there are still some dishes in the backyard that have not been washed, you two can go and wash those dishes and leave!" ”
"Okay, okay, then boss, take us over!" I dragged Chu Muxiu to the backyard together.
The boss pointed to the two large basins of bowls: "Just wash these!" ”
"So much, it's almost dark when I'm done washing, boss, you're taking advantage of people's danger!" I looked at about a hundred bowls and was stupid, pointing at his head and scolding.
The boss put my hand away: "If you don't want to wash the dishes, give money!" ”
"I'll wash, I'll wash it right away!"
As soon as I mentioned money, I didn't have a move, and it was originally our loss, so I naturally had nothing to say. Although I have never washed dishes, I have never eaten pork but I have seen pigs run, and I will sit down with a rag and wash the dishes with my sleeves.
I was so tired that my back was so sore that I couldn't straighten up, my hands had been soaked in water for an hour, and I still hadn't finished washing. But as for Chu Muxiu, he just stood there with his toes high, didn't speak or came to help me, just watching there. At first, I didn't feel anything when I washed it alone, but after a long time, I had a fire in my heart.
"I'll brush, I'll brush." I rubbed the bowl with a rag vigorously, and finally couldn't help but throw the bowl in the water, "I won't brush it, Chu Muxiu, you will brush it!" ”
Chu Muxiu waved his two sleeves: "I am a dignified Tianyue prince, how can I lower my status to wash dishes, this will lose my Tianyue face." ”
Chu Muxiu didn't help me, and he was still saying some cool words on the side, I couldn't get angry and threw the water foam on his face, "Face, hey, you still have face at this time, why don't you lose face when you eat?"
Chu Muxiu took out a handkerchief from the bag and wiped the foam off his face, "Aren't you eating all the food on that table?"
"I ...... You ......" I became speechless for the first time.
Seeing Chu Muxiu looking like this, I wanted to knock him to death with a stick, and only now did I feel that he was an out-and-out cheeky person, "Didn't you also eat a big bowl of white rice, didn't you hear the boss just now He said that he called us, not to call me alone, you look at my hands are swollen in the water, and my waist is so sore that I can't straighten up, you are still a big man, and you actually watch a big girl like me doing coolies like this, let me tell you, I can't finish washing alone until the dark, If we can't finish washing, we will have to go tomorrow! ”
"Then I'll wait until it's dark!" Chu Muxiu wiped his face and wiped the clothes on his body, and finally folded the handkerchief neatly and put it back in his pocket.
"Wood, dead wood!" I finally broke out, scooping a spoonful of water from the dishwasher and splashing it on Chu Muxiu.
Chu Muxiu raised his two hands: "What are you doing?" ”
I still refused to put the bowl down in my hand: "Whoever told you to be lazy, this is the end." ”
Chu Muxiu took out the handkerchief again and wiped it on his body, "Are you unreasonable?" ”
Chu Muxiu was happy when he was angry, splashed him with a spoonful of water, and then grimaced at him, "How about I be unreasonable, I can't reason with your piece of wood!" ”
"You're a scoundrel, aren't you?" Chu Muxiu said as he walked towards me.
"You, what are you doing?" Chu Muxiu's serious appearance was really terrifying, especially when he looked at me as if he was going to eat me, I stepped back again and again.
"Ah......h
I didn't expect Chu Muxiu to come over and splash me with water, the water splashed so much that I couldn't open my eyes, and I wiped my face a few times with my hand before I opened my eyes.
"Okay, it's going to be an inch!" I splashed another bowl of water.
"You recruited me first!" Chu Muxiu splashed another bowl of water.
"I'll recruit you!"
"Then don't blame me for being merciless!"
"You'd better not underestimate me!"
"Hehehehehe......"
I don't know why we were punished for washing dishes, but we actually had a water fight, but we didn't regard these more than 100 bowls as a debt. I finally had enough of seeing Chu Muxiu laugh that day, I have never seen him laugh so happily and so uninhibitedly.
