Taking a closer look at this fierce-looking "strong man", Cheng Jingling never expected that she would be Luo Xingyi's daughter Luo Qingbai?

I heard from the little guy before that Luo Xingyi was cooking in the back kitchen with his daughter, and his daughter was the chef of Que He Restaurant, and Cheng Jingling thought that Scallion Niang was a little chef. Even if she is mixed in the smoke and fire of the back kitchen every day, she is not a fair-skinned and beautiful lady, but at most she is sloppy and greasy.

But I never expected...

If she met Onion Niang on the road, Cheng Jingling would definitely think that she was an irascible man who could screw off people's heads at every turn, and she would never believe that she would be a daughter.

"Onion Niang, this is our family's benefactor, Lord Cheng, why don't you call someone soon?" Luo Xingyi turned around and said to the green onion.

In an instant, Cheng Jingling saw a trace of restraint and shyness on the rough and wild face of the green onion girl, only to see her lower her head, and greeted her angrily: "The green onion girl sees the process of the adult." ”

The voice......

"Well, the green onion girl is polite." Although Cheng Jingling's heart was turbulent, his face was silent, and after looking at the green onion girl, he immediately took his gaze back, looked at Luo Xingyi and asked, "Shopkeeper Luo, has the Stove King Gang stopped in the past two days?" Didn't bother you again, did you? ”

"No, no." Luo Xingyi replied with a red face: "On the afternoon of the day you drove the Stove King Gang away, they sent someone to send another truckload of good ingredients, and they also paid off all the money in arrears. Yesterday and today, the ingredients were delivered early, unlike before, which was delayed until noon or even evening. Look, my lord, this is the ingredients just sent by the Stove King Gang, all of which are excellent vegetables and lean meat, and I and the scallion Niang were just cooking..."

As he spoke, Luo Xingyi pointed sideways, and saw a few baskets of ingredients on the ground, among which the vegetables were delicate and the fish was fresh, which was indeed much stronger than the car sent at noon the day before yesterday.

Seeing this, Cheng Jingling said with satisfaction: "This is not bad. ”

"Thanks to your prestige!" Luo Xingyi arched his hand, and said flatteringly.

"Now that we are a family, Shopkeeper Luo doesn't have to be polite to me." Cheng Jingling said something in his words, then glanced at the ingredients on the ground that had obviously not been counted, and said, "Okay, you can get busy, I'll wait for you outside first." ”

With that, he turned around and left the back kitchen.

Luo Xingyi hurriedly followed, and explained with a smile: "There's nothing to be busy with, the kitchen dishes are actually green onion Niang alone, I just have nothing to do, so I followed to take a look at the back." ”

After coming to the front of the restaurant, Luo Xingyi originally wanted to take Cheng Jingling to the upstairs private room to be quieter. Cheng Jingling didn't go, but chose to find a vacant seat in the hall on the first floor and sit down.

After learning that Cheng Jingling hadn't eaten breakfast yet, Luo Xingyi hurriedly asked the little guy to inform the green onion girl in the back kitchen to fry a few good side dishes, and at the same time personally went to make a pot of tea for Cheng Jingling.

When Luo Xingyi came over with tea, he also brought an account book.

Respectfully placing the account book in front of Cheng Jingling, Luo Xingyi introduced while pouring tea: "Lord Cheng, this is the account book of our Que He Restaurant, please take a look." If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me, and I'll explain it to you in detail. ”

Luo Xingyi is a sensible person, and without waiting for Cheng Jingling to say anything, he took the initiative to take out the account book of the restaurant.

As for Luo Xingyi's secret presentation of the share transfer letter to Cheng Jingling that day, both of them tacitly did not mention it on the surface.

Cheng Jingling came for this, and he didn't shirk when he saw this, and after taking a sip of hot tea, he flipped through the accounts.

In the past, when I was in Liu's house, Liu's family specially invited a senior bookkeeper to teach Liu Xiaowen about store management and bookkeeping and auditing. Cheng Jingling secretly studied with Liu Xiaowen at that time, and she learned better than Liu Xiaowen, and Liu Xiaowen didn't know a lot of after-school homework, so Cheng Jingling helped her do it.

So looking at the account book at this time, Cheng Jingling was at ease, without the slightest embarrassment and difficulty.

After a rough flip through, Cheng Jingling found that the business of Que He Restaurant was really good, and it was worthy of being one of the better restaurants on East Fifth Street, with costs, operations, losses, wages and other expenses removed every day, and the net profit could reach about ten gold coins.

Cheng Jingling has seventy percent of the shares of the restaurant, which means that he can get seven gold martial arts coins every day on average, and Cheng Jingling automatically converted them into two tokens in his heart.

At this time, Luo Xingyi saw that Cheng Jingling had finished reading the account book, so he spoke: "Some time ago, the people of the Stove King Gang always came to make trouble, intimidated the guests, and sent some tattered ingredients to the door, which affected a lot of business in the restaurant, so the profit has decreased recently. If it can be restored to the previous situation, the restaurant's daily profit can be about twelve or three dollars. According to my calculations, if we can continue to prosper, with the size of our restaurant, it will be stable and stable, and we can make a profit of almost fifteen dollars a day at most. ”

Fifteen gold martial coins... That Cheng Jingling could get nearly eleven gold martial coins in one day, almost four tokens.

Cheng Jingling's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was very satisfied with this.

He doesn't need to worry about the operation of the restaurant, all he pays is effortless shelter. The gold coins that kept entering his pocket every day were just like picking them up for nothing.

Then, Luo Xingyi observed Cheng Jingling's face, and said tentatively: "When the restaurant business is booming, I want to open another branch in other urban areas, so that I can roll more and more money and make more profits." It's just that the size of the restaurant has been done, and it will inevitably enter the eyes of some dignitaries, and I'm afraid that some people will think that we are a piece of fat and can't help but stretch out their hands... I don't know what you mean, Master Cheng? ”

Cheng Jingling raised his eyebrows after hearing this, put down the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "Although Shopkeeper Luo let it go, I will leave my address to you, and if anything happens in the future, I can't find me in the Wuwei, so I will send someone to my house." ”

After thinking about it, Cheng Jingling was about to give Luo Xingyi a reassurance, and said clearly: "After a while, I should be able to be promoted to the iron-clad messenger, and I also have some connections in the upper echelons of Juma City." If you want to bully the market, I can't help you. But if you just don't get bullied, it's simpler. Don't worry, it's just a restaurant industry, and I can still shelter it. ”

There are hundreds of restaurants and inns in the entire Juma City, although Cheng Jingling is not a big tree with deep roots now, but he has not touched any great interests, even if he does not rely on the power of the ancient and modern times and Wang Snake and others, only with his own cultivation of the blood realm and the official position of the iron-clad messenger, no one will not think of not being able to get along with him for the benefit of a restaurant.

After hearing Cheng Jingling's words, Luo Xingyi's eyes widened slightly, and his face overflowed with uncontrollable surprise.

He is willing to give the head of the restaurant to Cheng Jingling, does he care about his identity as a mere cloth guard? No, he saw Cheng Jingling's attitude when he clashed with the Stove King Gang that day, and felt that Cheng Jingling's background was not simple, so he made a desperate bet.

After all, Cheng Jingling and the Stove King Gang have already made a fuss to that step, and Que He Restaurant and Cheng Jingling are tied together, if Cheng Jingling can't deal with the Stove King Gang, then his Que He Restaurant will definitely not be able to open.

So it's not that he's bold and vicious, but he can't help it!

Now after hearing Cheng Jingling's clear words, Luo Xingyi can finally let go of the heart he has been carrying for the past few days.

How old is Cheng Jingling now? It seems that he is only seventeen, eighteen or nineteen, and he can sit in the position of an iron-clad errand at such an age, and the relationship behind him must be not shallow, and he must be extraordinary.

In addition, Cheng Jingling personally admitted that he had some connections in the upper echelons of Juma City... These pieces of information are undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Luo Xingyi!

Luo Xingyi smiled so much that his face was full of wrinkles, and he said respectfully beside him: "With your words, Lord Cheng, I will rest assured that Lao Luo!" Lao Luo, I think I still have some means, as long as there is no force majeure interference, I have the confidence to make Que He Restaurant all over Juma City, and even the entire Yulan Prefecture! ”

Cheng Jingling is very satisfied with Luo Xingyi's long-term vision and ambition, after all, only by opening the Que He Restaurant bigger and bigger and more can he make more money. If Luo Xingyi is just a person who is content with the status quo and does not want to make progress, then sooner or later, the speed at which Que He Restaurant makes money will not be able to supply his consumption, and it will become a piece of chicken ribs that are tasteless and discarded for him.

After talking about the restaurant, Cheng Jingling mentioned the matter of asking Liu Yi to come to Luo Xingyi to help bury Duan Xiaoyue last night.

Luo Xingyi said: "As soon as I opened the door this morning, an old man who pushed the corpse came, saying that it was on your order to let me help bury a girl." When I saw that he mentioned your name, I didn't have any suspicion, and sent the little servant in the restaurant to follow him with the money, and he hasn't come back yet..."

Liu Yi took someone from Que He Restaurant and took the money, and he had to buy a coffin, carve a tombstone, and finally send the coffin tombstone and the body to the cemetery outside the city, and then ask someone to help dig the grave for burial.

There are a lot of things, and it takes almost a day to hurry up. It's only morning, and the little guy sent to watch the coffin be buried with his own eyes, and the money and property have not been taken and smuggled by Liu Yi, and it is normal that he has not come back yet.

Cheng Jingling nodded, since Liu Yi listened to his own words and came to Luo Xingyi, if Liu Yi ran away, he would have to bother to find it, and it would be troublesome.

After a while, Luo Xingyi instructed the kitchen to make a meal specially for Cheng Jingling, saying that there were only a few small dishes, but they were all big fish and meat made with good fresh ingredients.

Now that Que He Restaurant is his own industry, Cheng Jingling did not politely refuse, and directly used chopsticks to eat.

I don't know if it's because the onion girl is more serious or because the ingredients are fresher, Cheng Jingling feels that the dishes this time are much better than when he came up, and the craftsmanship is no longer under him at all!

So he praised Luo Xingyi: "The craftsmanship of the green onion girl is really good!" ”

When Luo Xingyi heard this, a look of pride appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Lao Luo, I don't have much capital and background, and my ability is actually average. The craftsmanship of the green onion girl, not me blows, it is one of the best in the whole Yulanzhou! Hehe, if it weren't for the onion girl, our restaurant would not have any other eye-catching places, and the price of the dishes is not cheap, how can it attract this prosperous business? ”

In this regard, Cheng Jingling nodded approvingly, the craftsmanship that can be similar to his own is indeed one of the best in Yulanzhou.

He made up his mind that if there was any more dinner in the future, he would bring people to Que He Restaurant. First, it is to attract some business for the restaurant, second, to ask friends to take more care, and third, as long as you have tasted the craftsmanship of the green onion girl, even if you don't rush to save face in the future, I believe you will come to visit often.

The trip went smoothly, Cheng Jingling didn't stay longer after eating, and left the restaurant before he started to get busy at noon.

Before leaving, Luo Xingyi took the initiative to tell Cheng Jingling very sensibly that in the future, as soon as the income of the restaurant is settled every month, he will send someone to the address left by Cheng Jingling, so there is no need for Cheng Jingling to pick it up in person.

After stopping a drum car and returning to West Eighth Street, after getting off the bus, I found that when pedestrians passed by the mouth of the alley of an alley, they would always unconsciously take a look inside, and a few people would point and whisper in the alley.

It seems that the murder case of the Zhao family has been spread in the morning.

Glancing into the alley, I saw that the people who were arresting the guards had already left, and the alley had returned to its former tranquility, leaving only a large pool of black and red blood stains in front of the five households that had not yet been completely dried, which was the blood flowing from the broken arm of the Gaiya army.

Cheng Jingling did not go home directly, but found a carpenter shop on the street, went in and relied on a military guard uniform, let the carpenter master put down the work he was doing, and came out first according to his description.

Qingluo, whom he promised last night, will do a deputy crutch for her today, so that Qingluo can work on crutches. Otherwise, Qingluo is lame, and as a master, he can't serve the slave instead, right?

After getting the crutches that were done, it was already past noon.

Cheng Jingling returned to the first alley, crossed the bloodstains in front of the five households, came to the door of his house, turned his head to look at the seven households, and was a little worried about Bai Qianqian's situation in his heart, but did not choose to visit immediately, but prepared to go back to the house first.

Knock Knock Knock –

The courtyard door was bolted from the inside, and Cheng Jingling knocked on the door a little unaccustomedly.

"Who?" Qingluo's crisp voice rang out from inside the courtyard.

"Open the door." Cheng Jingling said.

Hearing Cheng Jingling's voice, Qingluo hurriedly responded: "It's the master, the slave is here!" ”

Soon, there was a heavy sound of stepping on the ground in the courtyard, and Cheng Jingling could even imagine Qingluo jumping clumsily on one leg.

The sound of the door latch sounding, and the courtyard door was opened, only to see Qingluo's forehead soaked with beads of sweat, one foot on the ground and one foot up, looking at Cheng Jingling with a smile and greeting: "Master, you are back, have you eaten at noon?" Is there food in the stove that is hot on the stove, and the slave and maid will bring it out to you? ”

Cheng Jingling walked straight inside, looking at the courtyard that had obviously been cleaned, and the stone table pavilion had all been wiped down, and he was quite satisfied.

Handing the crutches in his hand to Qingluo, Cheng Jingling said: "Here, this is a crutch, you are on the armpit, and when you walk, you can support the ground with your legs, which is much more convenient than jumping on one leg now, and you are not afraid of falling on the other foot." ”

Qingluo took the crutch, and under Cheng Jingling's teaching, she quickly learned how to use it.

In this regard, Qingluo said very happily: "It's really easy to use, with the crutches, it is much easier for slaves and maids to work, and finally I am not afraid to trouble you anymore, thank you, master!" ”

Cheng Jingling waved his hand indifferently, and then ordered: "Didn't you say that the dishes were still hot on the stove?" Put the food in the food box and I'll take it with you. ”
