Chapter 56: Fumanlou [II]
[It's time for Fahai to appear tomorrow, I'll go get a good look and ask for a recommendation......]
Bai Suzhen's efficiency was outrageous, and when they were eating together at noon the next day, Bai Suzhen suddenly took out a key and put it in front of Xu Xian.
Xu Xian was curious: "What is this?" ”
Bai Suzhen smiled slightly and said, "I opened a restaurant, and now there is a shortage of shopkeepers." ”
Xu Xian opened his mouth wide in surprise, pointed at himself, and then shook his head, and said, "No, no, I can't do it." ”
Bai Suzhen pretended to be pitiful and said, "Hanwen, the restaurant has just opened now, and I can't take care of it alone, if even you don't want to help me, I really don't know who to look for." ”
"Don't shirk it, Sister Bai is looking for you, which shows that she believes in your ability."
"Yes, Hanwen, I have taught you so many dishes these days, you can just cook for the guests, I dare to guarantee that as long as the guests eat the dishes you cook, the business will be prosperous."
Xu Xian still hesitated, and finally Chen Chu said lightly: "If you are afraid, return the key to the white girl, the three-legged toad is not easy to find in the first few years, and the two-legged people are everywhere, a few taels of silver for a month's wages, and some people rob their heads." ”
Xiaoqing immediately retorted: "Did you talk like that?" Hanwen is responsible, so he doesn't agree easily, do you think everyone is like you? All day long, I only know that I drink flower wine and visit the Qinglou, and I smell of rouge and vulgar powder. ”
Bai Suzhen rarely didn't stop Xiaoqing from talking, these days, Chen Chu has shown the shortcomings of a bad man to the fullest, and his acting skills are close to the actor, even Meng Shu and the fat man are ashamed of themselves.
Even though Chen Chu is Bai Suzhen's father-in-law, Bai Suzhen is not a masochist. She can't turn a blind eye to Chen Chu's various shortcomings. And when she learned that Chen Chu was her father-in-law, that excitement finally calmed down and was able to deal with it rationally.
Xu Xian couldn't stand Chen Chu's agitation, grabbed the key, and said, "Then thank you Miss Bai, I will definitely do it with my heart." ”
Bai Suzhen looked at the seriousness on his face and smiled, "I believe in you." ”
The simple four words made Xu Xian feel full of warmth, and then looked at Bai Suzhen's eyes with a hint of a different taste.
Everyone noticed the slightest subtle change in Xu Xian's body, and glanced at each other, secretly happy in their hearts.
Xu Xian's sister learned that he was no longer working in the security hall, and sighed all night, and Li Gongfu comforted her, but Xu Jiaorong complained about it.
"I'm just such a brother, can I not care about him? Hanwen has a gentle temperament and is too kind, and he doesn't know if he is bullied. I thought that he would work in the security hall for two or three years, save some belongings, and do a family affair for him, and also fulfill his father's wishes. ”
Li Gongfu scratched his head and sat aside, but he didn't know what to say.
He is just a small head catcher, in his self-deprecating words, that is: Qiantang County head catcher who can't even touch the edge of the seven-grade sesame official.
Xu Xian pushed the door and walked in, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm back." ”
Xu Jiaorong beckoned to him: "Hanwen, come here, sit down." ”
Xu Hanwen was in a good mood, walked over and took Xu Jiaorong's hand, and said, "Sister, I have found a job, the shopkeeper of Fumanlou, and the monthly money of three taels of silver." ”
Xu Jiaorong swallowed all the words she was about to say into her stomach, and said in surprise: "You are young, how can you be the shopkeeper?" Hanwen, don't be deceived. ”
Xu Xian shook his head and said, "Sister, don't worry, the boss of Fumanlou is my good friend, and she won't lie to me." Tomorrow on the first day, I want to get a good night's sleep and recuperate. ”
Looking at Xu Xian, who was full of confidence, Li Gongfu said: "Hanwen is out, and the monthly money of three taels of silver has caught up with me for half a year." ”
Xu Jiaorong was worried: "Hanwen has only caught medicine for others, where will he be a shopkeeper?" Huh. ”
Xu Xian got up early the next day, washed up, ate something at home, and went out.
Xu Jiaorong called out to him, tidied up his collar for him, and chattered in his mouth: "Go to make less trouble for people, eat more at noon, otherwise you will be dizzy in the afternoon, remember to come back early at night, it's not safe when it's dark." ”
Li Gongfu couldn't stand it and said: "Oh, why are you so verbose, Hanwen is already twenty-two years old, you see that he is such a big young man, and he is afraid that he will not be able to lose it." Heck, he knows what to do, and it's rare for him to be a shopkeeper. ”
…………
On the first day of business in Fumanlou, Chen Chu and everyone went, and Li Xiaoyao shuttled back and forth in the kitchen, like an executive chef.
Li Xiaoyao proposed to let Xu Xian open a restaurant, which was also selfish, after all, it was quite tiring to let him cook every day.
Chen Chu sat at the window at a table, and the dishes made under Li Xiaoyao's instructions were served to the table one after another.
The fat man said: "At this rate, you should be able to complete the task in a month or two?" ”
Chen Chu said: "Think of a way, find a matchmaker to talk to, and try to shorten the time a little." ”
The man with glasses said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, our current direction is correct, let it be." ”
The fat man smiled: "The virgin feels the pressure of the villain and wants to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible." ”
Chen Chu asked coldly, "Have you broken through?" ”
The fat man shook his head and said, "Not yet, but it should be in the past two days, I can feel it." ”
Chen Chu nodded and looked at the others.
Meng Shu raised her chin and said, "I'm already level 8 [Eight Layers of Qi Condensation and Bone Refining]. ”
"The peak of condensing qi and refining bones, I have hit the Bigu Realm twice, but I have not succeeded." When the man with glasses said this, his tone was as usual, and he was not annoyed by the failure of the breakthrough. He suddenly changed his words and said, "Xixi's talent is better than mine, and he has reached the Bigu realm." ”
Chen Chu is still the highest level of cultivation, level 17 [Bigu Realm Seventh Layer].
The speed at which the Blood Burning Technique absorbed the spiritual energy was terrifying, and coupled with his almost uninterrupted cultivation day and night, although it had only been two or three weeks since he had broken through, Chen Chu still felt the fullness in the dantian. In three days at most, it will be able to break through again.
After experiencing the big battle in Lanruo Temple, Chen Chufang knew how weak his cultivation was. Even though his cultivation is much higher than before, he still doesn't feel enough.
Even this seemingly simple and safe mission is full of dangers. The toad spirit he met that night was much more powerful than him, and if it wasn't for Bai Suzhen's appearance at the last moment, he would have disappeared from this world.
After several catastrophes of life and death, Chen Chu felt more truly the importance of cultivation to himself.
He can't always expect someone to save him every time, the first few times it was good luck, but good luck will not always accompany him, only his own continuous strength, is the last word.
The business of Fumanlou is very hot, and it is full for several days in a row, and the reason for this is nothing more than the delicious food.
This is not surprising to everyone, after all, in such an era, there is such a delicious restaurant, and it is certain that it will be popular.
When business is good, it provokes jealousy. Chen Chu has been waiting for this day, and finally arrived.
Four or five men with unkind faces slapped the table after eating and scolded: "What a broken shop, there are rats in the dishes!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the guests of the restaurant were taken aback, and they surrounded these people in an instant.
Sure enough, everyone saw that there was a dead mouse in the bowl of soup on the table, and there was an uproar at the moment, and the sound of insults was endless.
Xu Xian, as the shopkeeper, rushed to the first time, and after inquiring about the situation, he immediately assured: "This is absolutely impossible, there will be no rats in our restaurant, and it is impossible to put rats in the dishes." ”
A stout man stepped forward, pointed to the dead mouse, and said, "You mean I'm wrong?" That's not a mouse, it's pork? ”
Xu Xian shook his head and said, "This mouse was brought by yourself." ”
The onlookers were in an uproar again.
The man was a little anxious and said, "What evidence do you have?" This rat obviously ate it from your dish. ”
Xu Xian smiled and said, "This mouse looks like it has just died, and the blood on its body has not dried yet, not to mention that you only found the mouse after eating this dish cleanly, which is not in line with reason." ”
When everyone heard it, it was indeed such a truth. The soup bowl was so big, but the rats occupied half of the soup bowl, and it was impossible not to see unless these people were blind.
Bai Suzhen also appeared at this time, and after inquiring about the situation, she walked up to the man and said, "This guest officer, we will not pursue this matter, you can leave after paying for the meal." ”
The man snorted, "Why should I pay?" There are rats in your restaurant, and I found out, and I even denied it. ”
Xu Xian said: "Don't frame me indiscriminately, this mouse is clearly brought by you." ”
"Shopkeeper, you have to talk about evidence, do you have evidence?" The man's face was arrogant and provocative, and Xu Xian blushed angrily, but he didn't know what to do, because he had no evidence, and he could only judge by his own speculation.
The man's eyes rolled on Bai Suzhen again, and he suddenly reached out to touch Bai Suzhen's face, but she avoided her.
"I don't ask for compensation anymore, just let this girl drink a few glasses of wine with me and give me a crush."
Xu Xian pushed the man away and shouted: "Take away your dirty hands, if you dare to move your hands and feet again, I will report to the official." ”
The man is not a good temper, Xu Xian took the initiative to make a move, he had a reason to fight back, and the four of them held Xu Xian down and punched and kicked him fiercely.
Bai Suzhen wanted to cast a spell, but she was worried about being exposed in front of ordinary people, and these people didn't pay attention to her, just when Bai Suzhen was in a hurry, Chen Chu came over.
Chen Chu kicked over one person, reached out and grabbed one person, and threw it away with a casual pull.
In just a few seconds, the four people lying on Xu Xian's body were all cleaned up by Chen Chu.
Xu Xian's face was swollen and he stood up, his body was shaking, Bai Suzhen hurriedly supported him, and said with a concerned face: "Hanwen, how are you?" ”
Xu Xian shook his head and grinned: "I'm fine, don't worry, I won't let them bully you." ”
Hearing this, Bai Suzhen was moved in her heart, and her eyes when she looked at Xu Xian also changed significantly. All this fell into Chen Chu's eyes, and he said to himself: "Count your kid who can speak, otherwise this beating will be in vain." ”
