Chapter 13: Strange Brother and Sister
The history of the Xiao family rooted in Xiangyang City is very long, so long that no one can tell the origin of the first generation of the Xiao family. After I don't know how many years of accumulation and precipitation, these years can be regarded as a small asset, of course, it is incomparable with the Wu family and Gaojiazhuang, but the Xiao family also has an advantage that others cannot ignore, that is, connections, because they were born and raised, so there is a potential force in this place that cannot be ignored.
It's worth emphasizing that in this unusual place like Xiangyang City, connections are sometimes more useful than just gold coins!
The contemporary head of the Xiao family is named Xiao Yuanshan, his son is called Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng's sister and sister have a lot, but there are no brothers, and when they wait until the third generation, they are even more withered, Xiao Feng only has two daughters, the eldest daughter is named Xiao Yuruo, that is, Miss Xiao who has a headache when Wu Qi sees it, and the second daughter is named Xiao Yushuang, who is a very cute and cute little girl.
Wu Qi sneakily came to the vicinity of the Xiao family's ready-to-wear store, and then observed for a while, and found that the young man outside the store had been very diligent in recruiting customers, Wu Qiqi nodded, he already had a number in his heart, and turned to leave.
Wu Qi's real destination is the Xiao family restaurant, where the decoration is luxurious, the food is like a cloud, all the food that can appear in Xiangyang City is stored here, relying on the friendly relationship with the eldest lady of the Xiao family, it is not the first time that Wu Qi has cheated to eat and drink here, of course, it will definitely not be the last.
Wu Qi entered the store, and met the shopkeeper head-on, a big fat man with an oily face, not tall, only one meter five, belonging to the typical height of ordinary people in Xiangyang City, Wu Qi was condescending, and his image exploded: "Xiao Fatty, prepare a table of wine and food for my brother, remember not to deal with dead fish and dead shrimp, I'm not easy to fool, go." ”
The shopkeeper's surname is not Xiao, but his surname is no longer testable, most of the people who have become slaves since childhood are in this situation, the people below will respectfully call Xiao the shopkeeper, but the people above will be very unceremoniously called the fat pig, or stupid pig, Wu Qi is an alternative, only he will be called Xiao Fatty, this has a feeling of narrowing the distance between the two sides, Wu Qi does not do this for no reason, Wu Qi himself often does not bring money, to cheat and cheat, although in the end Miss Xiao will pay for it, but the county official is not as good as the current management, this still makes sense, after all, Xiao Fatzi is actually the actual manager of this restaurant most of the time, if you want to make something bad from it, Wu Qi will also have a headache. Because of the fact that Miss Xiao has a transcendent status in the Xiao family, it is obviously not convenient to trouble others because of such a trivial matter.
Shopkeeper Xiao was flattered to be able to mix with his status, and he was mixed from the lowest little slave to the current status, of course, Shopkeeper Xiao is not a person who will be in this kind of inconsequential title with others, Wu Qi is not an ordinary person in the eyes of Shopkeeper Xiao, but a distinguished guest, because one of the principles he believes in is that the master's friend is also equivalent to the master.
Shopkeeper Xiao nodded and bowed, swaying from side to side like a ball of meat, and said with a smile on his face: "Wu Shao is here! I don't know what Wu Shao wants to eat today?"
Wu Qi thought for a while and said, "Don't be too troublesome, just have a carp, then a Wang Ba soup, a dessert and a melon and fruit, and five of the donkey meat, okay, let's do it first, if it's not enough, I'll say hello." ”
Shopkeeper Xiao immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Shopkeeper Xiao turned his head and showed his pig voice: "Xiaohua, where are you dead?" Why don't you take Young Master Wu to the VIP bag to rest!"
Xiaohua ran over panting, panting, stirring her clothes with her little hands, and whispered: "Shopkeeper Xiao, now all the private rooms are full, and there are no VIP private rooms anymore!"
Shopkeeper Xiao bluffed and pretended: "Bastard, isn't it itchy skin? Don't you see that it's Young Master Wu coming? Drive the people in the Tianzihao box away, go now, and dare to talk more and carefully pick your skin!"
Wu Qi couldn't bear it, and before he could speak, Shopkeeper Xiao was powerful again: "I said you don't understand Lao Tzu's words, don't you?" Why are you still standing still, you really want to taste the taste of whips?"
Xiaohua's body trembled even more, and she didn't speak, her body swayed, and her thin-looking little body could fall to the ground with a gentle push.
Xiaohua: "Shopkeeper Xiao, the person in the Tianzi box is the eldest lady of the Zhang family." ”
The shopkeeper Xiao suddenly became ugly, and it is no wonder that the Zhang family belongs to the behemoth-level existence in Xiangyang City, which is far from being something that the Xiao family can offend, and the eldest lady of the Xiao family is not something that a small shopkeeper can offend.
Wu Qi felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Don't be so troublesome, just find a more secluded corner in the underground hall and make a table, hurry up, I still have something to do in the afternoon." ”
This is for the shopkeeper Xiao handed the steps, the little shopkeeper borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, smiled very carefully and thanked Wu Qi for his understanding, and immediately became lively again: "Xiaohua, ah, why are you still standing still, don't hurry up and prepare, Young Master Wu's time is precious, how can you know to cause trouble for Lao Tzu if you have nothing to do all day long!"
The reason why the shopkeeper Xiao was able to make a name for himself in the restaurant in the Xiao family was because he had the right to appoint personnel here, simply put, he could decide to a large extent the service staff in the restaurant, although in the end the owner nodded, but the Xiao family is not only this restaurant, Xiao Feng's attention is not here, basically how he reports how to approve.
Wu Qi was eating casually in the corner, and a couple of men and women who suddenly came in attracted his attention.
There was a man and a woman, the man was tall and strong, dark-skinned, and wearing a set of high-end robes, but the size seemed to be a little inappropriate, obviously at least two sizes smaller than his figure, because his arms and ankles were very long and exposed, and the man was holding a girl, who was also beautiful and picturesque, with a pair of big eyes and a white and ruddy and smooth jade plate face, there was an indescribable beauty, a slender and slender figure, and he was wearing a brand new dress, Wu Qi knew that this dress was expensive, and it needed at least one gold coin, which might not be anything to the rich, but for the poor, it is money to live for a year or even longer, Wu Qi is strange because he sees that this pair of men and women obviously have strange identities, one is dressed in tatters, and the other is very expensive, but they also came to the hotel together!
After watching it for a while, Wu Qi became even more strange, the girl is so beautiful, she doesn't want to be a disabled person when she looks at her actions, and what she says is also normal, how can she need a man to support her?
Wu Qi's doubts didn't last long, it turned out that the girl's big eyes turned out to be blind!
It's not the peak time for eating, as for the VIP room is a place to eat, drink and feast, it has been booked a long time ago, and the downstairs seems to be very quiet. The man and woman sat very close to Wu Qi, right next to Wu Qi, and the beautiful girl happened to be facing Wu Qi.
The man helped the girl to sit down, then walked to the running hall, and deliberately shouted: "Xiao Er, why don't you have anything in this store?
Xiao Er looked at the menu on the wall, touched his head in confusion, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when suddenly the shopkeeper Xiao rolled over quickly like a meat ball, and said with a smile: "The guest officer is really sorry, because something happened to the guy in charge of purchasing, which will lead to the scarcity of dishes now, I'm really embarrassed, beef noodles are right, in this way, the little one immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare, objectively later." "The words were quite polite, and the voice was very cooperative, and it was obvious that this was not the first time that this kind of thing had been done.
The girl looked very delicate, a pair of big eyes stared at Wu Qi without blinking, her eyes were pure and unfocused, Wu Qi didn't know, she thought the girl was staring at herself, who knows, the girl didn't react after watching it for a long time, but stretched out a hand to grope on the table for a while, and finally picked up the cup and began to drink tea in small sips.
The girl had already drunk a cup of tea, and when the man came, he poured another cup for her, sat down, and said very angrily: "It's really unlucky, why don't you have any good dishes every time you come to eat!"
The girl hurriedly dissuaded: "What did my brother say, the beef noodles in this restaurant are exquisitely made and the materials are exquisite, and the taste is very good, how can other restaurants have this ability?
The man said: "What Xiaomei said also makes sense, after all, this shop is the most upscale restaurant in Xiangyang City, and the beef noodles are indeed very authentic, and they can't be compared to other places." It's that the purchasing staff of this house is really pitted, and they desert every three or five times, if I were the shopkeeper here, I would have opened him a long time ago, but I heard that the purchasing is a side member of the Xiao family, alas, things are indeed a little difficult to do! Forget it, don't talk about this, little sister, you must eat more when the beef noodles come later, these days my brother goes out to do things, you have suffered a lot at home!"
The girl giggled, and her laughter was full of a heart-warming charm, and she said, "My brother needs to eat more! My brother is a man, and it is very hard to go out to work, and my sister has nothing to do at home anyway, so it is right for my brother to eat more!"
Wu Qi watched quietly, he was very strange that he would be moved to tears unconsciously! Wu Qi has not seen the life and death of the world, people are sometimes cruel to eat their own children in order to survive, and even so cruel that they don't even know themselves, but here today, it is such a simple little scene, Wu Qi found that he was moved. Wu Qi was very strange, shouldn't he laugh at this? Isn't it just a bowl of beef noodles? The whole thing is like the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and Wu Qi suddenly realized that he seems to have neglected something important all along.
Wu Qi silently decided in his heart that five donkey meat fires were not enough, and more was needed!
