Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Temperance Is Still Coming
Zhang Quanyou sat opposite Qiubai, and asked a few more questions about her renting a storefront, and suddenly stood up as he spoke, "Lord Wang, sit down for a while, there are some small things, come later." There was some embarrassment in his tone, and his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered some trouble.
Ye Zhiheng put down the teacup, and Chao Zhangquan nodded a little.
Seeing this, Zhang Quanyou's face relaxed, and when he turned to leave, he smiled at Qiu Bai and nodded.
Qiu Bai nodded hurriedly in response, and said with a smile: "Abel has something to do."
Then Zhang Quanyou disappeared at the staircase, Qiu Bai looked at the empty hall, and then at Ye Zhiheng, who was only a few feet away, and tugged at his skirt a little nervously.
Ye Zhiheng didn't seem to notice the awkwardness of the atmosphere, and took a piece of mung bean cake to eat, and took a leisurely sip of tea after eating.
Qiubai looked at the staircase from time to time, looking forward to Zhang Quanyou's coming back soon, the atmosphere was too depressing, she really couldn't sit still.
However, after looking at it once, twice, three or four times, the staircase was always silent without any sound.
was overwhelmed by this strange atmosphere, and she finally couldn't hold back her conversation, "It's really a coincidence that I met the prince here." After speaking, she laughed three times, and her three laughs were like magic sounds, echoing in this suffocating space, which was really embarrassing.
While she was talking, Ye Zhiheng ate another piece of mung bean cake, and was drinking tea to moisten her throat, when she heard this, she put down the teacup and looked up at Qiubai, and said slowly: "Hot pot, do you want to do this?"
Qiu Bai nodded, "Yes." ”
"I haven't eaten it."
"Uh...... Someday, if you have time to make a pot for the prince. ”
"Okay."
“……”
"And dumplings."
"......" can't see it, this Ye Zhiheng is actually a foodie.
Looking at it like this, Qiu Bai suddenly felt that there was less distance between her and him, because she was also a complete foodie. ^O^
"Let's make dumplings and hot pot together, put the dumplings in the hot pot, it's also delicious." Qiu Bai had a flattering smile on his face, and his tone was a little flattering.
Ye Zhiheng nodded noncommittally, his eyes as black as the night sky looked at her well, and his voice was low, "Eat tomorrow, you come to my study, there is a kitchen, tell me what ingredients you need, and I'll let people buy them." ”
Qiu Bai looked away a little unnaturally, looked at his plate of mung bean cake and said, "Well, it's okay to go out and buy a few of the small ingredients, so as to save leakage."
"Small...... This self-proclaimed I don't like it. Ye Zhiheng's topic changed a little quickly.
"Ah...... Belch...... Folk Girl. Qiubai looked up.
Ye Zhiheng looked at her fixedly and didn't speak.
“…… I? Thinking that he had never called himself "this king" or anything like that in front of him, Qiubai said tentatively.
"Yes." Ye Zhiheng gently opened his lips and lightly spit out two words, and the corners of his lips, which had always been tightly pursed, suddenly curved upward, revealing a warm smile.
Qiu Bai only felt that her heart was beating hard, in order to avoid triggering a heart attack, she forced herself to look away, but the next second she moved back to that handsome face, and the heart-warming smile had disappeared, she was slightly disappointed.
"What's wrong?" As if sensing her sudden low mood, Ye Zhiheng suddenly asked softly.
As she spoke, a hot and humid air flow hit Qiubai's face, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, her eyes turned into cross-eyed, looked at his close face, and whispered: "...... Well, nothing. ”
Ye Zhiheng curled the corners of his lips suddenly, revealing that heart-warming smile again, which caught Qiu Bai off guard.
Qiu Bai felt that if she continued like this, she might fall, so she gathered the only strength left in her body to close her eyelids and said dryly: "...... I want to have diarrhea. ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally hot atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing.
Qiu Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to open his eyes with his eyes closed.
Ye Zhiheng's face was frosty, staring at Qiubai's wrinkled face, secretly smoothing the gloom that had formed in his chest, sitting up straight and silent for a long time, and suddenly stood up.
Qiu Bai opened his eyes, secretly glanced at his back, and then turned his head to stare at the plate of pastries, his expression was serious, but his eyes were out of focus.
Ye Zhiheng stood quietly for a moment, and suddenly raised his legs and walked towards the staircase, followed by the "creaking" sound of the wooden staircase being stepped on.
Qiu Bai hurriedly turned his head to look, but only saw Ye Zhiheng's swarthy head slowly disappearing at the staircase.
She exhaled faintly, her heart completely relaxed, but faintly, there was still a trace of loss.
Soon after Ye Zhiheng left, Zhang Quanyou walked up with a smile.
"Little girl, the shop next door to Chunmange has been booked, but there is an empty store next to the jewels, the size is about the same as that, if you want it, you can use it casually, it's empty anyway."
This is the same as the last time she rented a private kitchen, although the free use of it appealed to her, but she felt that she still had to save some moderation.
Then he said very backbonely: "Uncle is not good, I know that Uncle Xinci didn't want to earn my silver, but one yard is one yard, and what should be given still has to be given." She didn't give Zhang Quan a chance to react at all when she spoke, and took off the money bag on her waist and put it on the small table at hand, "This is the rent, I'll leave here, I'll leave first, there are still some things at home." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Quanyou could only give up, he couldn't push and shove with a little girl, that would be a lot of discounts.
"Okay, the little girl has the bearing, and she will become a great weapon in the future." This is a completely polite remark.
Qiu Bai smiled, "Thank you Abel for the compliment, then I'll go first." ”
Zhang Quan nodded and watched Qiubai go down the stairs.
When Qiubai's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Zhang Quanyou raised his legs and walked to the side of the small table, reached out and picked up the money bag and opened it to take a look, and there were neatly stacked silver tickets, all of which were ten taels each, and he knew at a casual glance that the silver tickets were definitely no more than three hundred taels.
He suddenly chuckled and whispered to himself, "I can't tell it's still a slippery head." ……”
After Qiubai came out, he went directly to the vegetable and fruit shop, bought all the ingredients for the hot pot, and then went to the beef shop to buy two catties of beef.
By the time all the miscellaneous things were bought and returned to the Wei Palace, it was already ten in the evening.
By the time we had eaten, it was already getting dark.
Since Ye Zhiheng did not specify when he would go to his study to make hot pot for him to eat, Qiubai inferred according to common sense that it should be eaten in the evening, after all, there are few people who eat hot pot early in the morning.
Early the next morning, Qiubai began to make dumplings after breakfast.
Qiu Yuanzhi said a little distressed when he saw it: "Didn't you just eat it, just rest if you have nothing to do, and see that you are not busy or busy every day."
Qiu Bai complained while wrapping up: "I met King Wei at the house rental yesterday, and my daughter happened to be holding his name and fake tiger at that time, and then he said that he would let his daughter make him a hot pot to eat, saying that he had never eaten it." She naturally passed the ambiguous part between the two, but she couldn't help but think of those pictures in her mind.
