Chapter 717: The shopkeeper is in poor health
Time flies, and by February 16 of the first year of Qiongyu, another year has arrived, and the magical bookstore has also entered the annual vacation, and the entire Watanabe Town has begun to flow people outward, but this year is different from last year, and the number of cultivators who have left Watanabe Town is still relatively small, only two-tenths, compared to half of the number last year, it can be almost ignored.
Although the magical bookstore is closed, it is actually not deserted at all, but it is becoming more and more lively, because the task of the book girl is about to begin, Ma Feifei has begun to gather the book girls in Watanabe Town, preparing to rush to the imperial capital together when the time comes, and gather with the rest of the book girls.
Yu Qingyang and Mu Qingyi didn't mention it, these two were already staying in the bookstore, Zhou Zhuya, Lianyi, Ah Zi, and these people also crowded into the bookstore, plus the employees of the original bookstore, the bookstore was full at once, and the small backyard was crowded with people.
"Happy New Year to the owner. ”
"Happy New Year, owner-sama. ”
The sound of congratulations sounded one after another, everyone happily greeted Ma Feifei for the New Year, received a red envelope from here, and looked at the reluctant look on Ma Feifei's face, and smiled one by one.
There are too many women in the yard, and the men are a little absent, Zhang Caicai and Lu Jiu are cooking in the kitchen, Zhang Yunji and Changkong are washing vegetables by the well, and Tongtian Ape is carrying a small horse to sit at the door of the backyard to guard the door, while staring at the two authors sweeping the floor at the door.
"The shopkeeper is really a blessing!" "The kitchen in the kitchen glanced at Ma Feifei, who was surrounded by a group of women, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's the use? It's not a lonely old age. Zhang Caicai ran a bamboo pole through the boar's body, set it up, and began to cut the meat on its body with a knife, and then sprinkled it with seasoning.
Although Zhang Caicai came late, he still learned about Ma Feifei's lonely old age through the mouths of many cultivators, and Zhang Caicai thought so, otherwise, as the most powerful force on the mainland, how could the young and promising magical bookstore owner not even have a woman?
"Maybe it's the shopkeeper who has a high vision?" Lu Jiu tried to defend Ma Feifei, he came relatively late, and he was a little unbelievable about the lonely old age as Zhang Caicai.
"Poof~"
Zhang Cai's kitchen knife cut through the pork, sprinkled the condiments into it in a neat and orderly manner, and replied: "Jiu'er, you are still young, you don't understand the world of adults, and you will understand when you grow up in the future;
"Why?" Qi Jiu's eyes were full of gossip.
Zhang Caicai glanced at Ma Feifei in the yard, and saw that he was 'flirting' with those women, so he pulled over Jiu Jiu and said quietly: "I heard, I heard it!"
Zhang Caicai repeated this sentence twice, and his tone became a little heavier, and he said in a low voice: "I heard that it's not the shopkeeper who doesn't do it, it's his old man who has a hidden disease!"
"Hidden disease!" Lu Jiu was shocked, and blurted out: "Could it be ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Zhang Caicai, and Zhang Caicai said in a deep voice: "Do you want to die? Can you say this kind of thing? Where will the shopkeeper's face be put when the time comes?"
"Woo woo~~" Qi Jiu nodded violently in response.
Zhang Caicai then let go of Lijiu's mouth, put it in the water to wash his hands, and continued to add condiments to the pig.
"Whew~!" Qi Jiu gasped, looked at Ma Feifei outside, and there was a bit of sympathy in his eyes.
"Alas, what a pity. ”
......
Ten minutes later, Zhang Yunji and Changkong walked into the kitchen with the washed dishes, and the four of them began to prepare the dishes.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Yunji walked out of the kitchen with a basket and found the Tongtian ape, the two stood together and chatted for more than ten minutes, the Tongtian ape's face changed from surprise to calm, and finally nodded, carrying the basket to go outside.
"Monkey, what did you look at the owner of this shop just now?" Ma Feifei sat on the rocking chair and shouted at the Tongtian ape, he just felt that the Tongtian ape had been looking at him, it was very strange, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and shout.
"There is no shopkeeper, Zhang Yunji said that there is no soy sauce at home, let me go and make some. The ape shouted as he stood in the doorway.
"Oh~" Ma Feifei nodded a little puzzled, retracted his gaze and continued to chat with the women.
The ape over there exhaled lightly and turned to leave.
Zhang Yunji grabbed the Tongtian ape, and instructed earnestly: "Brother Monkey, what I told you just now is confidential, God knows that you know and I know, you must not tell others, understand?"
Tongtian ape nodded and responded: "Don't worry, we are monkeys with firm mouths, and we will definitely not reveal it, don't say it, I'm going to make soy sauce, you help me watch the two of them, don't let the two of them run away." ”
"Don't worry, Brother Monkey, you go quickly, Caicai is still waiting for the soy sauce to stir-fry." Zhang Yunji urged behind him.
"I'm gone. The ape waved his hand and went out the back door.
Zhang Yunji was not in a hurry to go back, he sat on the small horse of the ape just now, staring at Zhang Ke and Xun Ling.
"Why are you looking at me?" Zhang Yunji couldn't help but ask when he saw the two of them staring at him.
But before the two of them could answer, Zhang Yunji immediately jumped up: "Ah! you didn't hear what you said just now, right?"
“......”
Half an hour later, Ma Feifei finally got rid of the entanglement of this group of women, and shouted to the kitchen: "Zhang Caicai! Isn't the meal ready yet? I'm going to starve to death!"
He was so hungry that he was woken up early in the morning, and he hadn't drunk a sip of water until now.
Zhang Caicai's figure appeared from the kitchen, looked at Ma Feifei and replied: "No, Lord Shopkeeper, I asked Zhang Yunji to make soy sauce, but he hasn't come back yet." ”
"Huh, what about me?" Zhang Yunji peeked out from the corner.
Zhang Caicai turned his head and asked, "Where's the soy sauce?"
Zhang Yunji pointed outside and said, "I asked Brother Monkey to call, but I don't know why he hasn't come back yet." ”
“......”
Ma Feifei looked at Zhang Caicai and Zhang Yunji a little speechlessly, they are both employees of the Magic Bookstore, each one is more than a chicken thief, and they have learned to make others work.
"I'm back!" came the Ape and strode through the back door, carrying a basket in his hand.
Zhang Yunji went up and grabbed the basket, looked down, was stunned for a moment, and looked up and asked, "Where is the soy sauce?"
"Ah, that's right, you didn't give me money, I can't buy it without money!" said the Ape Tongtian, touching the back of his head.
Zhang Yunji: "......"
"Then why did you come back so late?" Zhang Caicai asked curiously.
The Tongtian ape was even more embarrassed now, twisted and pinched his body, and said angrily: "I met the same kind and chatted for a while." ”
