24. Don't go back

Huang Litian listened to Qin Lan's cold voice, nodded with a grim expression and said yes.

He was suddenly a little curious about what means Qin Lan would use to deal with the Du family.

The Du family, the Shi family, and the Li family are called the three major families in Tianji City, among which the Shi family and the Du family have become stronger and stronger recently, and gradually do not put his city lord's mansion in their eyes.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go home with me."

Huang Litian took the lead in the front, and soon called a carriage, and the three of them drove towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"What? Did they live in the City Lord's Mansion? ”

Du Fu, listening to the return of his subordinates, Du Juan couldn't believe his ears, his eyes were resentful, and he picked up the teacup in anger and threw it down.

The maid below knelt on the ground, her body trembled slightly, and she did not dare to speak, and the cuckoo felt that she was not enough, so she dropped another teacup and waved her hand in disgust, and the maid hurried away as if she had been granted amnesty.

"Ye Xiaoxiao ......"

The cuckoo muttered Ye Xiaoxiao's name in his mouth, rubbing half of his bruised face with his hand, and the jealousy and hatred in his eyes gushed out like a spring.

When she returned to Tianji City and saw the Tianji List, she knew Ye Xiaoxiao's ranking on the Peerless List, and with her appearance, how could she be qualified to be on the Peerless List!

"I want you to die......"

The cuckoo's face was distorted, planning how to kill Ye Xiaoxiao next, where do you remember that if it weren't for Ye Xiaoxiao, her cuckoo would have been killed by poisonous snakes in the mountains and forests, I'm afraid it would rot and stink at this time!

"Come on, watch the tea!"

After Huang Litian arranged a place for Qin Lan and the two of them, he immediately told Qin Lan about the situation of the three major families in Tianji City.

"Among the three, the Shi family is the most powerful, focusing on the gold and stone business; The Du family is second, focusing on real estate business; The Li family is the second, focusing on the catering business. ”

Qin Lan raised her eyebrows, grinned, and said with a smile: "In this way, it is quite difficult to move these two."

Huang Litian smiled bitterly, the Shi and Du families have been marrying in recent years, and their strength has continued to expand, otherwise how could they have been left alone.

It's really more than enough to have more than enough strength!

Suddenly, Huang Litian realized something, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and asked Qin Lan tentatively, "You don't want to serve both at the same time, do you!?" ”

"What's not to do?"

Qin Lan replied calmly, his lowered eyes making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

Huang Litian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he gasped, if someone else said this to him today, he would probably only treat it as a joke, and it would be over as soon as he heard it, but Qin Lan was different, from the moment Qin Lan easily pointed out that his exercises were flawed, he knew that the young man in front of him was not simple.

"Need I do something?"

Huang Litian asked, and he was also starting to be a little curious about what kind of means Qin Lan would use.

"I needed a chance to get up close and personal with the heads of the three families."

After pondering for a while, Qin Lan spoke

"It's easy, and there will be such an opportunity in ten days."

Huang Litian replied without thinking: "In half a month, it will be the time to compete for the Heavenly Machine Monument, and at that time, the three family heads and I will select ten places to contact the Heavenly Machine Monument." ”

Qin Lan's eyes flashed, the Tianji Monument is a landmark building in Tianji City, but Tianji City has a rule about the Tianji Monument and the Divine Operator that every year there will be a competition between the younger generation in the city, and the participants must be less than twenty years old, among the ten people, the first five people who encounter the Tianji Monument will get a chance to let the Divine Operator calculate for them.

Many people from other places also came for this, hoping to have the opportunity to ask what they wanted to know.

This game is also the only chance to get in touch with the God Operator, although I have heard of it for a long time, but it is unknown how to participate in it.

If you are really thirsty, someone will hand you water, wonderful!

Qin Lan said naturally: "I want two places for this Heavenly Machine Monument, no problem, right?" ”

Huang Litian's expression froze, he held back for a long time, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Qin Gongzi, I can't actually help you with anything."

"The number of people who participate in the Tianji Monument competition every year is a total of ten, and these ten were all fought for by the monks with their own abilities, but in recent years, the Shi family and the Du family have grown, and they have swallowed six places by themselves, and the Li family is not far behind and asked for two from me, and finally there are only two places left in my hand, and I need to release one for people from outside to fight for."

"So you can only give me one place at most?" Qin Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, and Huang Litian's face turned red when he asked, and finally nodded helplessly.

At this time, Qin Lan and Huang Litian were both thinking in their hearts: This city lord deserves to be enough......

"You can let me and Ye Xiaoxiao participate in the meeting in ten days, and I will handle the rest myself."

Qin Lan also sighed helplessly, originally wanted to borrow the power of the city lord to save some strength, but he didn't expect to cause trouble for himself.

"Good"

Huang Litian got up and left, he felt that Qin Lan's eyes were getting more and more pitiful when he looked at him, this place really couldn't stay anymore.

If you stay for a while, your self-esteem will be worn away by Qin Lan.

Qin Lan was still quietly sipping tea there, for him, the characters that the Shi family and the Du family could send were not worthy of his serious treatment, and the garbage was the same.

After a little thought, Qin Lan established his first goal.

"Ye Xiaoxiao, do you want to go to dinner with me?"

Qin Lan came to the outside of Ye Xiaoxiao's room and shouted inside.

Soon, Ye Xiaoxiao poked out a little head, blinked, and asked softly, "What are you going to eat?" ”

"Come with me, I'll have a treat, and I'll have the final say on what you eat."

Qin Lan only left a word, and walked forward by herself. Leaving Ye Xiaoxiao alone is still a little messy.

What just happened, is this the attitude of inviting me to dinner?

Ye Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks, stomped her feet, and was about to go back to the room, but after thinking about it, she followed again

Qin Lan please eat, if you don't eat for nothing, why don't you eat!?

Li's Restaurant

Li Chong was lying on the table, his fingers fiddling with the abacus at random, this is the largest restaurant in Tianji City, but now it is sparsely populated, so it is not bleak.

He stood up at once, and through the gate he saw two people who seemed to be walking this way,

Li Chong brewed a good mood, his face was full of smiles, and he greeted: "Childe, miss, come in and have a look at what you want to eat."

The young couple's expressions moved, and when they stretched out their heads to look, they found that there was no one in the restaurant at all, and they immediately shook their heads and left.

Li Zhong sighed heavily, and simply leaned against the door frame, he had long been unconcerned about this kind of thing, and he was used to it.

Some people say that he has sharp eyes and is clever when he is a child. But what's the use of being clever on his own?

Nobody is coming!

"Are you the shopkeeper?"

A cold voice came from beside him, and the man who spoke was already sitting in a chair when he looked at it again.

How did this man get in? Why didn't I see it at all?

The surprise in Li Chong's eyes only existed for a second, and then disappeared.

I'm a front desk shopkeeper, so I don't care how he got in? Let him eat well here.

"What do you ......want, this guest officer?"

A bright smile reappeared on Li Chong's face, but after seeing Qin Lan's face clearly, his voice became quieter and quieter, and the expression on his face became more and more stiff.

Looking at the word "prisoner" on Qin Lan's forehead, Li Chong felt that his whole person was not good, and he who had always been said to be sharp-eyed also had a time to look away today.

Ye Xiaoxiao also followed at this time, his eyes were a little resentful, he pulled over the stool and sat opposite Qin Lan, and Li was shocked.

What's wrong with the people of this world? How could such a good-looking little girl eat with a prisoner?

You must know that in the Great Xia Dynasty, only death row prisoners who committed serious crimes and specific crimes would be engraved, and even if they were released from prison for any reason, the status of the identification on their faces was extremely low.

"If you want to eat something, feel free to order it"

Qin Lan pushed the menu to Ye Xiaoxiao, and she began to look at the layout of the Li Family Restaurant.

Ye Xiaoxiao snorted, then ordered a few signature dishes, and after ordering, he specially added a mouthful to Li Chong, and finally Qin Lan settled the bill.

Li Zhong replied, and left with a strange face, Qin Lan glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao a little helplessly, Ye Xiaoxiao was not to be outdone, and glanced back at Qin Lan with a smug look in his eyes.

After a while, Li Chong had all the dishes ready.

"Guest officer, please use it slowly"

After Li Zhong finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Qin Lan

"Shopkeeper, you wait a minute, delay you for a while."

Qin Lan picked up a mouthful of vegetables at random under the suspicious gazes of Ye Xiaoxiao and Li Chonghu, chewed two bites in her mouth, and didn't spit out a sentence until she tasted all the dishes:

"Shopkeeper, the taste of your dish is wrong."

Li Chong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed a pair of chopsticks and tasted it, and his expression gradually relaxed after eating

"Guest, that's no problem."

It's still the same smell!

Qin Lan still didn't give up, and insisted: "If I say it's not right, it's not right, call your back kitchen!" ”

Li Chong's face changed for a while, and finally turned around and walked to the back kitchen, and soon brought out a chef.

It stands to reason that Li Chong would not respond to such an unreasonable request from a customer, but unfortunately Qin Lan and the two of them are the only diners today, so if they can be satisfied, even if they are here to find fault?

It's not noisy, it's not noisy, it's not lively, and it can add some popularity to the store

"Why, boy, I heard you think there's something wrong with my cooking?"

The cook thrust the kitchen knife into Qin Lan's table, and he was covered in biaozi meat, which was very real, and the horizontal flesh on his face trembled when he spoke.

"Listening to what Shopkeeper Li said, some people said that there was a problem with the dishes they made, and I thought it was a powerful character, but I didn't expect it to be with bean sprouts, I said that you are so skinny, can you move the spoon?"

After that, the cook laughed roughly, not taking Qin Lan seriously at all.

Qin Lan was not annoyed, and asked with a smile: "This braised four-leaf pill, you put a few less seasonings, right?" ”

The cook's laughter stopped abruptly, and his small mung bean-like eyes stared at Qin Lan

"How do you know?"

In order to save time and effort, he did one less process for this dish, but after so many years, no one can eat it at all, what is wrong with it, how old is this hairy boy in front of him, and what culinary attainments can he have?

"Of course, it is eaten, and if you don't pay attention when cooking, the diners will naturally eat tasteless."

Qin Lan replied casually, hearing the green tendons bulging from the cook's head.

Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back!

The cook snorted coldly, not to be outdone, and said, "You have the ability, you can make me an identical dish, let me taste it!" If you're not making bullshit, just give me one! ”

"What if I did better than you?"

Qin Lan asked rhetorically, which completely aroused the cook's heart, and the cook blurted out with a wave of his hand.

"If you're better than me, I'll give you a knock!"

Well, the goal has been achieved!

The corners of Qin Lan's mouth rose slightly, put down her chopsticks, and walked to the back kitchen.

"Then I'll show you a hand, I hope you don't regret it then!"
