Chapter 43: The Serpent of the Land
After listening to Cheng Xi's explanation, Steward Xu finally put away his posture of wanting to fight with others, but looking at Yu Zhaocai's expression, he was still not so friendly.
When Yu Zhaocai beckoned his subordinates to carry Xu Sanlang to the courtyard next door, Steward Xu, who was walking behind, pulled Cheng Xi, who was also walking behind, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you provoke this living ancestor?" ”
Cheng Xi replied helplessly, "I don't want to either, who knew that we would all encounter this trouble on the way back to the restaurant." ”
Steward Xu sighed and replied, "It's good not to offend him, that's good." ”
Cheng Xi asked curiously, "Is this person unoffended?" ”
Steward Xu saw that Yu Zhaocai had already beckoned someone to carry Xu Sanlang into the house, so he said, "Settle down Sanlang first, and I'll tell you later." ”
Cheng Xi nodded and hurriedly followed.
Xu Saburo actually felt that his injuries were not so exaggerated, that is, there were injuries on his back and arms, but there was no problem with his legs, and he didn't need to be carried in and out at all, but Cheng Xi said that before the wound healed, he was not allowed to use force and could not get up casually to avoid the wound from cracking open again, Xu Saburo had to be obedient and let people carry him in and out.
Since listening to what Steward Xu said, Cheng Xi restrained his temper and his attitude improved a lot when facing Yu Zhaocai, seeing that Xu Sanlang had been carried to the bed and lay down, Cheng Xi said to Yu Zhaocai, "It's hard for you, just leave someone here to take care of you." ”
Yu Zhaocai did have something to do, and he still had to clean up the people who had done the black hand to him last night, so he responded, "How can one person be enough, I will let them stay, and it will be more convenient to carry them in and out, and you can only command them if you have something." ”
After that, Yu Zhaocai said to the two big men on the side, "You two stay and take care of Brother Xu, everything is under Mrs. Xu's orders, and if you need to go back to the account room to withdraw anything." ”
The two big men replied respectfully, "Yes, young master." ”
Since Yu Zhaocai wants to leave two people, Cheng Xi is not polite to Xu Zhaocai, anyway, Xu Saburo really needs someone to take care of him, and the work in the restaurant has to be done by himself, so it is more appropriate to leave two people.
After that, Yu Zhaocai left through the back door with the rest of the people.
Steward Xu waited until Yu Zhaocai left before going to Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang's house, and when he saw Xu Sanlang lying on the bed, he asked worriedly, "Why is the injury so serious, where is the injury?" Several other people in the back kitchen of the restaurant also came to the door, looking at Xu Saburo lying on the bed with a worried face.
Xu Saburo saw everyone's worried expressions, and responded with an embarrassed face, "It's all skin trauma, it's not a big deal, just take care of it for a few days." ”
Where would Steward Xu and the others believe it, Chef Zhao, who came in from the door, said, "This is lying down and can't move, can it still be a small injury?" ”
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "It's not that he can't move, but he has injuries on his back and arms, but I'm worried that he doesn't know how to move around and pulls the wound." ”
Listening to Cheng Xi's explanation, seeing that Cheng Xi's face was not too worried, everyone believed it, and each said a few kind words such as taking care of himself, and went to the back kitchen next door to get busy.
Steward Xu finally left, and Cheng Xi pulled Steward Xu and asked, "Who is this Yu Zhaocai?" ”
Steward Xu responded, "Who in Anyang County doesn't know Yu Zhaocai, a well-known local snake, who has opened several fortune gambling houses, I don't know how many people have been harmed, and I don't know how many people have been offended, no wonder you will encounter such a thing." ”
Cheng Xi nodded clearly, Steward Xu was talking to Cheng Xi, asking Cheng Xi not to worry about the restaurant, let Xu Sanlang cultivate well, and just sent away the two big men who had Yu Zhaocai back.
The two big men were conscious, and after coming in, they greeted Cheng Xi, and then they were busy in the house, packing up medicinal materials and supplements, looking for a place to boil medicine, and they didn't need Cheng Xi to greet them.
Steward Xu saw that there were still two people left behind after Yu Zhaocai left, so he frowned and pulled Cheng Xi aside and whispered, "Why do you still let his people stay, let him make up some soup and medicine money and send it away quickly, or less to have anything to do with people like him." ”
Cheng Xi responded, "It's okay, just draw a line with them when Xu Sanlang is better, anyway, Xu Sanlang also needs someone to take care of him, and the work in this restaurant also needs someone to do it." ”
Hearing Cheng Xi say this, Steward Xu felt that it made sense, Xu Sanlang was injured and lying on the bed and couldn't work, Cheng Xi wanted to take care of Xu Sanlang, and no one did the work of the two of them, he admired the two of them very much, but wanted to give them accommodation, but if the work of the two of them was not done, others might not be happy with his accommodation, and it was also necessary to take into account the Xia shopkeeper in front.
The rest of the fortune left two people, but all the problems were solved.
Steward Xu also had something to do, so he didn't object to leaving the two of them, greeted Cheng Xi and took good care of Xu Sanlang first, and then left.
Cheng Xi beckoned one of them to help in the back kitchen, leaving one person to decoct medicine for Xu Sanlang, and then went over to the bedside, habitually touched Xu Sanlang's forehead, and made sure that there was no fever, before he began to check the injury on Xu Sanlang's back.
"What's the discomfort?" Cheng Xi asked while inspecting.
Xu Saburo shook his head, "It's good, you go to the kitchen to help, I'm fine." ”
Cheng Xi checked the wound and made sure that there was no problem with the wound before going to the back kitchen.
The two brothers left by Yu Zhaocai were surnamed Xiong, Cheng Xi couldn't remember their full names, and the bad taste came up, so he simply named the two of them, the eldest was called Xiong Da, and the second was called Xiong Er, and it was quite smooth to shout, but the people in the restaurant, including Xu Sanlang, shouted like this.
With the help of the two brothers Xiong Daxiong who were left behind by Yu Zhaocai, Cheng Xi was a lot easier, and the chores and Xu Sanlang's previous errands could be handed over to the two of them, and he only needed to help his master Chef Zhao when he was busy.
What Cheng Xi didn't expect was that Yu Zhaocai was so free, he came to the restaurant to visit Xu Sanlang once a day, and he didn't fall every day, and sometimes he stayed for a long time, and he talked in Xu Sanlang's ear every day to be the manager of his gambling room.
Later, Cheng Xi couldn't wait to kick people out when he saw Yu Zhaocai, and Steward Xu blackened his face when he saw people, but Steward Xu couldn't bear to offend Yu Zhaocai, and Cheng Xi had to endure his temper.
Xu Sanlang knew what Cheng Xi meant, no matter what Yu Zhaocai said, it was one sentence, "I listen to my daughter-in-law." ”
A few days passed, Yu Zhaocai saw that Xu Sanlang still didn't let go, so he hit Cheng Xi's body, and after the next day, Cheng Xi was also in time, Yu Zhaocai began to circle around Cheng Xi, and there were words in his mouth, "Look at it, your wages in the restaurant are also low, and the things you do are still hard, go to me, it's delicious and delicious, you don't have to work, you just follow Brother Xu to enjoy the happiness, I don't know how many times better than being a chorre in the restaurant......"
Cheng Xi couldn't stand being nagged, so he finally dropped the half-washed clothes in his hand, glared at Yu Zhaocai angrily and said, "I said that I won't go, what do you want?" ”
Yu Zhaocai hurriedly smiled and said, "I can't see my benefactor suffering here." ”
Cheng Xi took a deep breath, suppressed the temper he wanted to explode, and responded, "We don't feel bitter ourselves, so we don't need you to worry, and we don't need to mention anything about going to you in the future." ”
Yu Zhaocai looked at Cheng Xi with a resolute and uncompromising look, sighed regretfully in his heart, but still responded with a smile on his face, "Okay, don't mention it in the future, but if you have anything in the future, you must tell me." ”
Cheng Xi tilted his head and thought about it, and responded, "Okay, just have your words, don't mention anything to repay your kindness in the future." ”
