Chapter 234: Flower Bell and Turtle Stewed Cohosh (1)
Bai Li was woken up by the muttering sound next door, she first rolled over, and then pulled up the quilt over her head. But the voice seemed to grow in her ears, and it was still noisy. With a stinky face, he sat up and looked outside, and in addition to muttering and talking, he could hear the sound of rain knocking on the window.
Rolled over and got out of bed, washed up a little, put on his coat, and opened the door of the inn.
It was still early, the inn was deserted, and most of the guests who stayed were still asleep.
Bai Li endured the displeasure of being woken up and walked to the door of the next room. In the room, there seemed to be a group of women muttering something, but if you listen carefully, you can't hear the specific content of what is being said.
Could it be that this hotel is still a guest from other places?
Bai Li first knocked politely on the door a few times, but no sound came from the room, and even the muttering voices that could still be heard before disappeared.
Bai Li frowned, and was about to knock two more times, but his hand was raised, but he heard footsteps. Following the voice, I saw that it was Xiao Er, who was delivering water in the inn, so I asked, "Who lives in this room?" Always muttering and talking, noisy people can't sleep well. ”
Xiao Er's face changed slightly, but he said, "White girl, are you joking with me?" There are no people living in this room. ”
"How can it be that there is no one living there? I just heard ......"
"White girl, you're afraid you're quite stubborn, aren't you? There were a group of guests living downstairs, all of whom were merchants from other places, and perhaps they were talking downstairs to the upstairs. Rest assured, girl, when I go downstairs later, I'll go over and tell you. ”
"Downstairs merchants, from out of town?"
"Yes, there are five people from other places, all of them are rough men, this voice is inevitably louder, and I ask you to bear with me, Miss Bai. We are here at an inn, which is open for business, and all the people who enter the door are guests, and there are everything. Although I told them all when I stayed here, you also know that if we don't say it, this guest can listen to it. ”
"It shouldn't be them, I can still tell the difference between the man's speech and the woman's muttering. Don't lie to me, there's really no one living in this room? ”
"It's really uninhabited!" Xiao Er affirmed: "This Mr. Bai specially explained, saying that the girl is afraid of noise, so let us find a quiet room." In this whole inn, the room where you live now is quiet. The girl also knew that it was not the busiest time in town, and there were not many guests in this hotel, and the room next to the girl was always empty. If the girl doesn't believe me, I'll open it for you to see. ”
Xiao Er put the copper basin in his hand on the ground, stepped to the room with small steps, and pushed the door open with both hands.
"White girl, look, this room is really unoccupied!"
The layout of the inn rooms is mostly the same, especially the rooms on the same floor, except for the slightly different interior furnishings, the rest are exactly the same. This room is clear at a glance, and it is true that no one lives in it.
"There's no one! Strange, where did the muttering sound I hear come from? Bai Li poked his head and looked at it, and then muttered to himself.
"Maybe it's coming from the street, our inn is facing the main street, and any loud sound can be heard in the room. When the girl got up, she washed her face first, and the little one told the kitchen to bring food to the girl. ”
"I've washed my face, don't waste this warm water, just send it to Bai Ze's room. By the way, where does Bai Ze live? He went out after dropping me off last night, and I thought he was going to live next door to me. ”
Mr. Bai said that he had something to do, and he was afraid of living next door to the girl and disturbing the girl, so he lived in the ground room downstairs. Oh, the gentleman went out before dawn, saying that there was something wrong, so that the girl could eat directly, without waiting for him. ”
"If you don't wait, you don't wait, this Bai Ze will become mysterious and mysterious since then." Bai Li muttered, not seeing the smile on Xiao Er's face.
Downstairs, several men were talking together when they heard movement on the stairs, and one or two turned their heads. Seeing that Xiaolou was a teenage girl, she turned her head back again.
"How many masters are early, do you want breakfast?"
Xiao Er greeted the men with a smile, and one of them responded and led them to sit at the table near the door of the inn.
"These are the foreign merchants who live downstairs from the girl, but we don't know exactly what kind of business they do." Xiao Er lowered his voice and said to Bai Li: "These people have been mysterious since they entered the store, what is this, we can't hear clearly, we can't understand." The girl was fine, so she stayed away from them. ”
"I know, Bai Ze and I are just staying temporarily, and when the family is over, we will move back."
"I have also heard about the affairs of the girl's family, and I blame the person for being ruthless, how can he do such cruel things to such a little girl. Just do it, you have to hide the body in the wall of the girl's house. It's a shame that the girl and Mr. Bai weren't there in those days, if they were, I'm afraid they couldn't tell if they were covered with mouths. Of course, it is also thanks to the fact that we have an honest and honest Lord Xin in Huaxi Town, if you meet a faint official, you and Mr. Bai will not have to be troublesome. The girl can rest assured, our shopkeeper has explained, saying that the girl and Mr. Bai can live in our house for as long as they want, and they will not take a penny or receive a penny. ”
"I received the heart of your shopkeeper with Bai Ze, and it is not easy for you to open an inn, and the money that should be given still has to be given." Bai Li glanced at the inside of the inn: "If your shopkeeper insists on refusing to accept money, then I can only help in your inn." This made me live in vain, and I must not be able to do it in my heart. ”
"The shopkeeper knows what you're going to say, girl." Xiao Er pursed his lips and smiled: "Our shopkeeper said, if the girl really feels sorry for it, she will go to the back kitchen to give some advice in her free time." The girl also knows that except for the porridge in our family this morning, the other meals are average. Although the guests of this hotel are only here to stay at the hotel, if the meal is done well, it will be able to retain more repeat customers. ”
"I know, tell your shopkeeper that during the time I live in the store, I can at least teach your chef more than 20 good dishes."
"This relationship is good, you sit down with the white girl, and the little one will tell the girl in the back to bring you porridge. Is the girl eating white porridge this morning, or whole grain porridge? ”
"Just white porridge, and then a plate of side dishes, the salty kind." Bai Li squinted and smiled, and as soon as she sat down at the table, she heard a woman say, "Sister, you don't know yet, right?" The second girl of the Li family died, and I heard that the death was particularly miserable. ”
