Chapter 348: I met an acquaintance again
There is a feeling of an old Beijing courtyard, there is a small garden in the center, and there is a rockery, a small pool with a diameter of about five meters next to the rockery, and there are scattered lotus leaves in the pool, and there are a few lotus buds. Surrounding the garden is a room on the first floor.
The courtyard was rectangular, and from the direction in which they entered, there were ten rooms on the left and right floors, and twenty rooms on the front and back floors.
The Nineteen Elders led them to the room on the left, which was also in the lobby, and came to the room directly opposite them, and came to one of the two largest rooms on the second floor.
"Miss Fu lives in this room, and Shangguan Gongzi and the guards live next to you, which is also convenient for protection, and the meal is in the lobby. You wash up first, and I'll get someone to prepare lunch. ”
The room is not big, and it is definitely not comparable to the bedroom of the Xianwang Mansion where she used to be, and it is also rectangular. But the facilities are complete, a small living room into it, there is a study room smaller than the living room next to the small living room, the small living room and the bedroom are blocked by a large partition carved by solid wood, and the bedroom is a small cubicle with a bath and a thatched room.
The room next to Midnight with the same layout as this one was reserved for the Seventeenth Elders, Shangguan Yuchen lived next door to Midnight, and Yan Kuan and Yejiu lived next door to the Seventeenth Elders' room.
The nineteen elders settled them down and left, and after a while, four biao-shaped women carried two large wooden barrels into the room at midnight, one bucket was hot water and the other was cold water, and the four women poured water into the bath bucket in the cubicle.
Midnight doesn't know the consumption level of the people here, not to mention here, she doesn't know very well in the secular world, so she doesn't know what the value of one knife coin and two knife coins is, just thinking that the city fee is two knives per person, and the reward should be as appropriate as the city fee, and later I learned why these women took the two knife coins with a smile on their faces.
Took a comfortable bath, changed into a dark blue suit, and then put on a cloak of the same color and walked out of the room, Shangguan Yuchen was already waiting at her door, and at midnight he suspected that he was taking a combat bath, this speed.
The two chatted for a few words, Shangguan Yuyu and Huangfu Yunyi also came out, as for Ye Jiu and Yan Kuan, it is their mission to protect the master/Miss Fu, and they are always waiting in the light or in the dark.
A few people walked through the garden to the lobby, it was lunchtime, the people in the lobby were really young, and there were forty or fifty tables in the unobstructed lobby, and at this moment, there were only a few corners and corners of the tables with poor sight positions There were no people.
A few people chose an empty seat in the corner and sat down, and immediately came over as a junior.
"Miss Fu, Shangguan Gongzi, what do you want to eat?" It seems that the Nineteenth Elder has already confessed, and even the junior two here know who they are.
Midnight didn't know what dishes were here, and there was no menu or anything for her to order.
Yan Kuan still knows how to behave, and immediately respectfully asked: "Miss Fu, the rhinoceros beef here is well roasted." ”
"Okay, you look at it." Anyway, it is the shop opened by the Helian family, there are things that are delicious and good for them, and the guards of the Helian family must know.
Yan Kuan clearly took Xiao Er to the back kitchen together, Xiao Er was obedient, and Yan Kuan was a 'regular customer' at a glance.
Business here is very good, and in the middle of the night they sat down for a while, and the other few empty seats were filled, and some people came into the store one after another, either choosing to share a table with others, or leaving disappointed after seeing that there were no vacant seats.
Huangfu Yunyi whispered with envy, jealousy, hatred and pity: "Chef Ning here is also from the secular world, don't look at the nineteenth elder Helian is unreliable, but his vision is really good, when Chef Ning came to Chicheng, he was just a young man who didn't even have a place to live, it was the nineteenth elder who took him in, who knew that Chef Ning's cooking skills were so good, and the nineteenth elder had just come to Chicheng to open a store, so it can be said that now this food number is supported by Chef Ning's cooking skills." ”
Sometimes I can't accept this thing.
In fact, Chef Ning also asked for help from the people who also came to open a shop here in the Huangfu family, and that person also called the Sixth Grandfather, who was a conceited person, and he didn't know what happened in the middle, as if he looked down on Chef Ning as a broken person from the secular world, and there were a lot of unpleasantness during the period, who knew that the eyes of the Sixth Grandfather had achieved the current glory of the food number.
Who can blame?
I can only comfort and comfort myself with the good eyes of others.
Shangguan Yuyu glanced at him with contempt and reminded: "Don't talk about this here, Chef Ning's barbecue is the most famous, if you still want to eat it, it's best to be quiet, if Chef Ning knows what your surname is, see if he doesn't throw you out." ”
Well?
What's going on here?
Seeing Midnight's puzzlement, Shangguan Yuchen whispered to her: "Chef Ning is not surnamed Ning, his surname is Shangguan." It is true that he came from the secular world, but he is a member of the Shangguan family's side line in the secular world, when Chef Ning passed through the Red Wood Forest to Chicheng, he was seriously injured, and when he heard that the Shangguan family opened a store in Chicheng, he went to defect, who knew that the six ancestors of the Shangguan family did not give Chef Ning a chance to speak at all, so they let Chef Ning out, and Chef Ning was seriously injured, and he was almost lost at that time, and it was the Elder Helian Nineteen who was passing by who saved him.
Later, Chef Ning stayed in the food account opened by Helian's family, and the nineteenth elder saw that he was a superb cook, so he handed over the kitchen of the food number to him. ”
I see.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Huangfu Yunyi's face, although this happened more than a hundred years ago, but now even their juniors still know it so clearly, it is not their gossip, but their official family, some people are unreliable and do embarrassing things.
Originally, their Shangguan family's own vision was not as good as others, which did not rule out the reason why Elder Helian Nineteen buried his sixth grandfather, although the Shangguan family did not have a bad relationship with the Helian family, and the relationship was still full, but the nineteenth elder of Helian could be said to be enemies with his sixth grandfather because of some things, and the Helian family was short-guarded, if it weren't for the relationship with the Shangguan family, his sixth grandfather would have become the soul of the Helian family.
It's a pity that his sixth grandfather himself doesn't know how to cherish the blessings, and the sixth grandfather doesn't know how to cherish the blessings, always thinking that he is the descendant of the Shangguan family and thinking that the Shangguan family will always protect them, and always do something that makes the people of the Shangguan family want to kill them.
It just so happened that Xiao Er sent tea and pastries, and Huangfu Yunyi hurriedly poured a cup for himself and used water to hide his embarrassment.
At this time, a group of people came in from outside the store, still twenty or thirty 'familiar' people.
"Midnight?"
Zhou Yuwei's eyes are sharp, in fact, she is still at the back of the line, and when others come in, she just pays attention to whether there are any vacancies, she swept her eyes, and swept to the midnight table in the corner, and immediately trotted over.
