Chapter Twenty-Four: Warm Male Care
The night shrouded the streets that were gradually deserted, and the orange lights jumped back and forth through the cracks in the dilapidated doors and windows of the nameless restaurant.
Mu Bai and Jiang Ye sat in the corner of the restaurant, and the two of them could be as far apart as they could, just like day and night.
Xi Xiao Gray Pestle was in the middle of the restaurant, and the six gods looked left at Mu Bai with a warm smile, and on the right at the indifferent Jiang Ye. She hesitated for a long time, thinking that it was time to do something to prove that she was not useless as a treasurer.
"The nameless restaurant needs a major makeover!" "Xi Xiaosha pointed to the ground like the bottom of the pot and the cockroach legs around the tables and chairs, and announced loudly, "First of all, we have to create a comfortable and clean environment for our guests, just start by cleaning the lobby!"
Jiang Ye blew the dust on the table, leaned up lazily, and didn't bother to raise his eyelids: "I never do this kind of rough work, and besides, there may not be any guests." ”
"But you're a buddy, if you don't do it, do you want me to do it?" Xi Xiaoshen suddenly felt at a loss, and didn't admit that he was just about to show his strength but met a guy who gave up on himself.
But seeing Mu Bai, who was dressed in white like snow, smiled slightly, and his eyes were like stars sprinkled with crystalline light: "Shopkeeper, don't worry, I'll do it!"
Mu Bai's clear voice is like a gentle breeze in the valley, with a magical power to soothe the soul, so that Xi Xiaogray's chaotic mood gradually calms down.
"Just call me Ash......" Xi Xiaoash almost forgot what she was going to say under Mu Bai's gaze, "By the way, we still need a chef......"
Before the words fell, he stretched his waist and yawned and said, "These...... I won't, I'd better go to sleep. ”
"Then what can you do...... Xi Xiaoshen watched in a daze as Jiang Ye lazily walked upstairs, closed the door with a "snap", and opened his mouth in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
Who is this restaurant? Jiang Ye didn't care at all, Mu Bai didn't seem to be familiar with the furnishings here, why did they have to be obsessed with recruiting shopkeepers?
At this moment, Mu Bai got up and walked to Xi Xiaoshen, comforting her: "Xiaoshen, you should be tired today, go upstairs and find an empty room to rest! ”
Xi Xiaoshen shook her head flatteredly, and her eyes were about to reddened with gratitude: "Don't worry, I'll clean up with you, I'll clean up the stove first......"
She searched in the stove for a long time, and all she found was half a bowl of fried chicken fat, a hard dough, two shriveled tomatoes, and three yellowed greens.
The more she looked at it, the more chilling she became, except for the plate of chicken legs and osmanthus lotus seed soup that she had eaten, this broken restaurant was really poor, and it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she didn't even have the most basic ingredients at the moment, what are you going to do business with tomorrow?!
"Goo-goo...... "Alas, she's hungry again!"......
In desperation, Xi Xiaoshen picked up the hard dough and took a bite, almost knocking her front teeth off.
"These are the ingredients you found? Not bad! It's just that this cake is too hard, I'll eat it later." Mu Bai said, he picked up the flint and lit the firewood and stuffed it into the bottom of the stove, and after the iron pot was preheated, he quickly poured in half a bowl of fried chicken fat, washed and cut the tomatoes and vegetables, stir-fried the incense, thickened and other actions in one go.
Xi Xiaoshen stared at the spatula in Mu Bai's hand dumbfounded, it was like a fairy's magic staff, turning those ingredients that seemed to be not on the table into three fresh soups with full color and flavor.
Mu Bai cut the dough into finely chopped cubes again, sprinkled it into the soup, and put a bowl on the table: "Little Ash, come and taste it and see how it tastes." ”
Xi Xiaoshen sat down and looked up at Mu Bai with adoring eyes: "A chef is a chef, I don't have to taste it to know, it must be delicious." ”
Mu Bai looked at her extremely serious appearance, couldn't help but chuckle, and handed her the spoon casually: "You haven't eaten yet!"
Xi Xiaoshen took the spoon and drank the soup, only to feel that his mouth and tongue were fragrant, and it was really delicious in the world. The warm noodle soup flowed into her abdomen, and she suddenly felt inexplicably moved, and her eyes were moist unconsciously.
"It's ...... The best thing I've ever tasted......" Xi Xiaoshen hurriedly lowered her head, and the crystal tears dripping from the corners of her eyes instantly melted into the hot soup that night.
When Mu Bai saw this scene, the sunny smile on his face froze at the corner of his mouth, and a rare trace of sentimentality appeared in his eyes.
Xi Xiaoshen slept until she woke up naturally in the bedroom with leaky doors and windows, and she quickly jumped out of bed and ran out when she thought that there were no ingredients in the restaurant and it couldn't be opened.
However, the scene in front of her made her knees weak, and she almost rolled down the stairs. I saw that the original dirty restaurant lobby downstairs was completely renovated overnight, and the swarthy tables and chairs seemed to have been shoveled off a layer of skin, revealing a clean wood color.
Not only that, but the crumbling broken windows have also been repaired, and even the putty-like floors have become unusually tidy.
Xi Xiaoshen was so shocked that she couldn't speak, she heard the sound of gentle footsteps coming from the stove room, and looked down to see Mu Bai walking out of the stove room with steaming white porridge.
"Mu Bai, Mu Bai, all of this is done by you?!" Xi Xiaoshen ran to him excitedly, only to feel that his whole person exuded a holy light.
"Shopkeeper, does it meet your requirements?" Mu Bai smiled and looked at her swollen face from sleep, his eyes full of tenderness.
Xi Xiaoshen was stunned, staring at Mu Bai without blinking, and looked at him uncomfortably.
Mu Bai asked a little nervously, "What, dissatisfied?"
"No......" Xi Xiaoshen looked at his handsome eyebrows with a complicated expression, "Who are you? Where have we met before? ”
Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes became gentle again, "Little Ash, I'm ......"
"Ahem...... "Ahem" coughed twice upstairs at night, interrupting what Mu Bai wanted to say, "Shopkeeper, what do you eat in the morning?"
"Eat, eat porridge, Mu Bai just made it. Xi Xiaogray wolfed down the white porridge and kept praising it: "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”
"Eat slowly, beware of hot ......" Mu Bai looked at Xi Xiaoshen with doting eyes, and diligently put some side dishes into her bowl, and almost went up to help her blow cold.
Witnessing this scene at night, he held his forehead with a helpless face, and sighed secretly, can he have a little fun?!
After Xi Xiaoshen ate and drank enough, he suddenly burped, and his head became bright, no, all the ingredients in the stove room last night were eaten, where did Mu Bai get the money to buy rice?!
"By the way, Mu Bai, where did you get the money to make breakfast?"
Mu Bai smiled warmly: "When I was cleaning this morning, I found that although there was a chair in the store that looked shabby, it was made of fine pineapple wood, which should be worth a lot of money." Besides, the chair didn't match the table in the restaurant, so I sold it and used some money to make breakfast, and now I still have ...... left."
As he spoke, Mu Bai hurriedly took out a bag of money from his cuffs and sent it to Xi Xiaoshen.
Jiang Ye picked up the sandalwood comb and combed his hair slowly: "The pie in the sky fell in time this time! Mu Bai, you can really make the shopkeeper happy......
When Xi Xiaoshen saw the bulging money bag, her eyes immediately lit up, and she took it and took it, there were at least hundreds of copper coins.
She smiled excitedly, grabbed Mu Bai and asked, "Are there any other valuable things in our store?" ”
On the bridge of Mu Bai's tall nose, fine beads of sweat began to ooze: "Well, this...... There's really no ......."
