Chapter 62: Running errands
Lin Yunxuan nodded, her heart was clear, and she suddenly remembered that she had been out for a long time, I was afraid that Mu Qing had sent roast duck at this time, and she was worried that there would be not enough people in the store, so she said goodbye to Shopkeeper Li and hurried back to Lin Ji Roast Meat Shop.
Shopkeeper Li looked at Lin Yunxuan, who came and left in a hurry, a little confused, is there something wrong with this girl? I also have an eye on the affairs of the academy in my heart.
When Lin Yunxuan returned to Lin Ji's roast shop, she saw that there was already a long queue in front of the shop. Aunt Zhang was busy collecting money and handing out wooden signs for picking up vegetables in front of the window, Zhao Dalin and Mu Qing were cutting the roast duck into pieces, Zhao An and Huzi were packing the wooden signs while collecting them, and several people cooperated very tacitly.
With the cooperation of several of them, the long queue in front of the door was slowly getting shorter.
Lin Yunxuan silently observed the reaction of the guests in front of the store, and saw that the customers in line would not complain because of the long waiting time, while the customers who bought the roast duck left with a smile on their faces, and they were very satisfied and happy.
When the guests were almost finished, Lin Yunxuan walked into the shop.
At this time, only half of the roast duck brought by Mu Qing was left, and it turned out that he had roasted more than ten roast ducks this morning, so he arrived an hour later than the original planned time. It's good that he roasted a few more roast ducks, otherwise he would have sent an appointment voucher today.
Mu Qing saw that there were no guests, so he stretched his waist and moved his muscles again, which made him feel a little more comfortable. He started working early in the morning until now, and he feels that the labor intensity is no less than the amount of exercise he exercises.
Suddenly, he felt as if a burning gaze fell on him, and he tilted his head slightly, and saw Lin Yunxuan looking at him with a pair of black eyes, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Lin Yunxuan saw that Mu Qing saw him, so he waved at him with a smile.
Mu Qing saw that Lin Yunxuan's eyes were shining with a fox-like cunning brilliance, and he immediately had a bad premonition in his heart.
Is this aunt going to dig a pit again?
"Brother Mu, I have something to trouble you to go." Lin Yunxuan said with a light smile.
Just when she saw Mu Qing, she suddenly had an idea, so she beckoned Mu Qing over.
"Doctor Xuan, no, Master Xuan, you still call your subordinate Mu Qing." Mu Qing bowed his hand.
Doctor Xuan can also be regarded as half of his master, and with the degree to which the master values Doctor Xuan, I believe that Dr. Xuan will officially become his master is just around the corner, how dare he let the master call himself the eldest brother.
Mu Qing remembered the little cold arrow that his master threw at him before he left yesterday, and there was an inexplicable chill behind him.
"Don't, I'm not your master, don't call me master, I'm not a serious doctor, and don't call me Dr. Xuan. And if you call it that, it's easy to reveal your identity. Or you call me the owner, and I'll call you wood. Lin Yunxuan was taken aback by the word "master" in Mu Qing's mouth.
Coming from modern society, she has been educated since she was a child that everyone is equal, so she still pays more attention to equality in her bones, and she has never thought of becoming someone else's master. However, Mu Qing's words reminded her, so she changed the names of the two of them.
Mu Qing thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed.
Lin Yunxuan saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, so she whispered a few words to Mu Qing. After hearing this, the corners of Mu Qing's mouth twitched fiercely, and two lines of silent tears flowed in his heart.
Unexpectedly, he was a dignified leader of the secret guard, who was pitted to be a butcher, and was reduced to a helper, even if he was reduced to a helper, he still had to listen to the corner of the wall.
It turned out that Lin Yunxuan sent him to spy on Mr. Qin to see who he usually interacted with. What Mr. Qin said and what he did had to come back and report to her.
Before Mu Qing left, Lin Yunxuan asked him to bring the remaining half of the roast duck and send it to the Drunken Immortal Building to relieve the hunger of Shopkeeper Li. She hasn't forgotten what she promised to shopkeeper Li before, and she can't forget him if she has delicious food.
When Mu Qing received this new task order, his heart was a little unbalanced, and he protested with a cold face: "My task is to protect you, not your errand!" “
Lin Yunxuan calmly crossed her arms and looked at Mu Qing's cold face, and didn't say much: "So what? “
"You let others go to the Drunken Immortal Building to run errands, I won't go!" Mu Qing said very stiffly.
"Oh, it's okay if you don't go." Lin Yunxuan smiled harmlessly, paused slightly, raised her eyebrows and looked at Mu Qing and said slowly; "I originally thought that you would be quite tired from running such a trip, and I planned to wait for you to come back and make your favorite braised pork to treat you, since you don't want to be an errand boy, I am also happy to save a meal of braised pork, I use this meat to cook other dishes, isn't it fragrant?"
"I just don't do the matter of going to Zuixian Mansion to run errands, the academy still goes, how can these two things be counted together?" Mu Qing wanted to cry without tears when he heard this.
"In my opinion, it's the same thing, and I don't need to spend twice as much manpower on running errands." Lin Yunxuan is colorful.
Mu Qing was suddenly in a dilemma, and he was struggling in his heart.
Lin Yunxuan saw the entanglement on his face, and knew that he had successfully caught Mu Qing's life again.
In fact, Mu Qing's age is only seventeen or eighteen years old, after getting along for the past few days, Lin Yunxuan knows that he is a big boy who loves to eat, except for Luo Yao's order, I want him to help you willingly, and you can "bribe" him with food.
Thinking of the fatty, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth braised pork, Mu Qing couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and after struggling for a long time, the foodie's heart was finally captured by the braised pork.
He took the roast duck packed by Lin Yunxuan and turned around and left, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell me: "Remember to leave me braised pork." ”
Lin Yunxuan nodded with a smile.
After Mu Qing left, Lin Yunxuan casually found an excuse to explain his whereabouts, and went to the backyard to cook lunch for everyone.
After lunch, Aunt Zhang stayed in the shop to pack her things, and Zhao Dalin and Lin Yunxuan took Zhao An and Huzi to buy separately.
The new house will be completed in two days, Zhao Dalin wants to buy some items for the housewarming of the new house, and Lin Yunxuan will go to buy some materials for making lo-mei.
It was half an hour before a few people bought their things and returned to Lin Ji Roast Shop to gather again.
Aunt Zhang looked at the stuff full of ox carts and was a little surprised: "I didn't expect there to be so many bits and pieces to buy." “
Lin Yunxuan said with a smile: "The main thing is that there are many things to buy in the new house, but fortunately, the new furniture has been handed over to Uncle Dongsheng to build, otherwise there are more things to buy." ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang's heart was full of emotion, He Cuifang and they handed over the work of building new house furniture to their own men, there was a lot of work, and the price of the wages given was fair, so that he could work without leaving home to make money, and he could reunite with his family.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's quickly put our things together and go back early." Zhao Dalin said happily.
Then they gathered the things on the cart, and when they had made room to sit, they all got into the cart and went home.
In the dead of night, a sharp figure fell in front of the small thatched hut in the west of the village.
He stepped forward and gently knocked on the door frame of Lin Yunxuan's room.
Lin Yunxuan, who had been tossing and turning on the bed for a long time and still couldn't sleep, heard the sound, got up with a bone, and walked lightly to the door.
Sure enough, Mu Qing came back.
Lin Yunxuan snorted in the direction of the kitchen, Mu Qing understood, and the two walked to the kitchen together.
There was a smell of meat in the kitchen, and it turned out that Lin Yunxuan was simmering a pot of braised pork in a small clay pot, waiting for Mu Qing to come back and eat.
Lin Yunxuan lit an oil lamp and brought out the pot of braised pork.
After being hungry for an afternoon and half a night, Mu Qing was hungry early in the morning, looking at the pot of braised pork that was shiny with oil, and couldn't stop swallowing his saliva.
In the past, when I went on a mission, I didn't feel hungry if I didn't eat for a day and a night, but today I only felt so hungry after half a day's work.
Mu Qing stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth while giving himself psychological counseling.
Lin Yunxuan waited for Mu Qing to eat almost before asking, "Is there a situation?" ”
"Well, I thought I would have to stay for a few days before I came back, but I didn't expect this surnamed Qin to be very cooperative, and let me successfully complete the task in less than a day." Mu Qing said proudly.
"Get down to business." Lin Yunxuan supported her forehead.
"The person surnamed Qin has stayed in the academy this afternoon and has not gone out, except for the contact with the students, he has not seen anyone else. But after dark, he quietly went out through the back door and went to a widow's house, and when the two of them were almost there, the surname Qin went back to the academy. Mu Qing seriously reported what he had found.
Efficient handling of affairs is a basic skill for them as a secret guard, and Mu Qing, as one of the three leaders of the Luo Wangfu, has taken this skill to the extreme. Originally, he respected Mr. Teach, but the more he investigated, the more he had no good impression of this Mr. Qin, and despised him from the bottom of his heart, so he called him surnamed Qin.
The widow's husband used to be a dart master, and he ran darts all the year round, and two years ago when he was killed by robbers while walking a dart, the widow received a pension, with which their seven-year-old son could study at Donglin Academy. The widow's son was one of the students with the surname Qin. Mu Qing wiped the oil from his mouth and whispered.
"What a sanctimonious hypocrite, in vain is a teacher, this kind of person is not worthy of being Xiao An's husband." Lin Yunxuan listened to Mu Qing's report, and a touch of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
Lin Yunxuan attaches great importance to the teacher's character and morality, she thinks that a good teacher must have three positive views, his own character is good, and he can have a lower background, but his character must not be low.
Whether it is character or morality, it is obvious that this Mr. Qin does not meet Lin Yunxuan's requirements.
"Another point, this surnamed Qin is actually a greedy person, but he hides it well, and he looks tall on weekdays, so ordinary people can't see it. He secretly hid some of the more precious calligraphy and paintings of the academy, and two of them were hidden under the courtyard where he lived in the academy. Mu Qing added.
