Chapter 7: No News from Master
In Sister Hongyue's room!
Sister Hongyue sat at the table, and Wang Er and Liu Xiao stood in the room.
"Ergou, no, your name is Liu Xiao now, I'm used to calling it for too long, I didn't expect you to have such an adventure, this can be regarded as God's reward for your food." Although Sister Hongyue is nearly 40 years old, her voice is full of charm and she sounds very enjoyable.
Liu Xiao is also a person, thick-skinned and bold enough, so he bowed down and said: "I have been taken in by Sister Hongyue since I was a child, and I have long regarded Sister Hongyue as my biological mother, without Sister Hongyue, I might have been eaten by wild dogs, but if I have any achievements in the future, I will never forget Sister Hongyue's nurturing grace." ”
These words were impassioned and loud, and Rao is Wang Er knew that this kid was lying, and he was also infected a little.
Sister Hongyue is also a person, giggled, "You kid, you are getting smarter and smarter, and when you grow up, you are not at all like your father, and you will do things well in the future, and your benefits will be indispensable." ”
Liu Xiao was overjoyed, knowing that her value had increased in this Hongyue Building, so she got up and said with a smile: "Sister Hongyue, don't worry, I will definitely carry forward the Hongyue Building in the future and do my best for the Red Moon." ”
Hongyue smiled, "Okay, let's go down, I'll write these wines on the wine list tonight, and wait for my news in the evening." ”
The two of them then retired.
Night!
Liu Xiao, who was still practicing in the firewood house, heard someone shouting to him outside, and the man pushed open the door and shouted at Liu Xiao: "Ergouzi, Ergouzi, there is a guest who wants a cup of Bloody Mary, Sister Hongyue orders you to do it quickly!" ”
When I looked at it, it was the second child of the Red Moon Building, Liang San.
"Go now! The first business was sloppy, and when she heard Liang San's shout, Liu Xiao ran to the back kitchen and started to get busy.
Fortunately, Sister Hongyue had already explained to the back kitchen in the afternoon, and she had to give Liu Xiao a workstation, otherwise Liu Xiao would definitely be kicked out by the people in the back kitchen.
Within a few minutes, Liu Xiao finished the cocktail, and Liang San walked quickly towards the main hall of the Red Moon Building with his glass.
After a while, Liang San's voice came again, "Ergouzi, the guest wants a cup of Baiwei Immortal." ”
Then, less than half an hour, Liang San came and asked for another cup of mojito.
Since then, Hongyue Tower has a reputation for special fruit wine, which has slowly spread in Jinyang City.
In less than a month, the number of guests who heard the news increased day by day.
Sister Hongyue smiled from ear to ear, although she didn't say that a glass of wine was only one or two silver, but when the guests came, they couldn't just order a cocktail, they always had to eat a girl, and the total revenue this month was a full thirty percent more than last month.
Recognizing the value of Liu Xiao, Sister Hongyue specially arranged a room for him, and the treatment was the same as Wang Er, and the people in the entire Hongyue Building knew that Ergouzi was no longer the second dog before, and his current name was Liu Xiao.
Among them, the happiest is Li Fengjiao, Li Fengjiao looks at the second dog, has a name and ability, and is sincerely happy for him, she has been lonely since she was a child, and she empathizes with Liu Xiao's experience, and treats Liu Xiao as a younger brother.
And Wang Er's month, in addition to daily work, is to practice, Liu Xiao has not given him heavy training, this person has been unbearable, in order to learn kung fu is to make money, now Liu Xiao gives him a bonus of 15 taels every month, he has no intention of practicing, and he acts every day so as not to be looked down upon by Liu Xiao.
In a month, a total of more than 300 cups were sold, and the cost was about 30%, and Liu Xiao's dividend this month was more than 60 taels of silver.
In this way, Liu Xiao made wine, Wang Er started, and the days of selling wine for the two began.
Liu Xiao studied the way to drink fruit mulled wine in winter, and made Hongyue Tower lively in Jinyang City.
In a few months, an average of about 500 cups can be sold a month, and Liu Xiao can collect 100 taels of silver a month and give 30 taels to Wang Er.
A child who is only 14 years old, a hundred taels of silver per month, is not amazing.
And Hongyuelou's business is driven by cocktails, and the business is at least thirty percent stronger than before, and Liu Xiao's seven hundred taels can only be regarded as a small dividend.
Before you know it, it's May of the following year!
And May of this year is also the day when Liu Xiao and Liu Chu agreed to meet again.
This month, Liu Xiao waited for Liu Qi to appear almost every day, from the beginning of the month to the end of the month.
It's a pity that in June, I couldn't wait for Liu Chop.
Liu Xiao also went to the broken temple in the east of the city, but this broken temple was no different except that it was more broken than before.
Then in July and August, Liu Xiao went to the broken temple every month to check it out.
But there is no figure of Liu Chu at all.
Liu Xiao was uneasy, but the world was big, there was no mobile phone number, no location, no ID card, and he had no way to find Liu Shu.
I was going to go out to find Liu Shu's whereabouts, but after thinking about it, if I left, wouldn't Liu Chu be able to find himself if he came back.
And just like that, another 5 years!
There has been no news of Liu Chop for 5 years, as if he disappeared out of thin air.
And Liu Xiao because of his cocktail skills, his status in Hongyue Building has risen, and now it is Sister Hongyue who can move him, and others can not move him.
In the past few years, Liu Xiao has saved a total of more than 3,000 taels of silver after removing expenses and giving Wang Er's share, and if he moves to a small city, he will be considered a rich and noble family.
Although Liu Xiao is different from the past, Liu Xiao is a nostalgic person, and almost every seven days he goes to the former noodle stall to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
And today is the seventh day!
Same place, same location, same afternoon, same sunny spring!
For so many years, the shopkeeper has long known Liu Xiao's surname, and when he saw Liu Xiao coming, he greeted him warmly: "Liu Gongzi, here again, prepare immediately!" ”
After a while, a bowl of Yangchun noodles was served, but this time it was different, this time Yangchun noodles were full of a layer of braised beef.
In fact, as early as 3 years ago, Liu Xiao would throw away one or two pieces of silver every time he finished eating noodles.
The shopkeeper of this noodle stall is also a kind-hearted person, although Liu Xiao does not mention it, but every time he secretly buys some braised beef, every time Liu Xiao eats noodles, he will cover it with a thick layer of beef, in order to thank Liu Xiao.
"Young Master Liu, has there been any news of your master recently?" Liu Xiao chatted with the shopkeeper every time she ate noodles, and she was born and cooked twice, so she asked.
After so many years, Liu Xiao has gotten used to it, eating noodles by herself, muttering in her mouth.
"No, this world is big, I don't know where the master has gone, and I can't find it, so I can only wait and see."
The shopkeeper of the noodle stall sighed, "Liu Gongzi is a person who is in love, 6 years is like a day, the little old man really admires it!" ”
After a few years, the two have long been familiar with each other, the shopkeeper of this noodle stall is named Zhao Chang, and now he is in his 50s, and he has a son.
Although the revenue is average, it is living freely.
Sometimes Liu Xiao is envious of Zhao's shopkeeper, how much he hopes that he can live a peaceful life with his master, this is inexplicable, and the master is his only concern.
also sighed, "Hey, I can only wait, even if something happens to the master, I have to have a number in my heart!" ”
Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head and suddenly asked, "By the way, Liu Gongzi, have you ever wanted to go to those six doors to try?" ”
"Six doors?" Liu Xiao paused the chopsticks in his hand, frowned, and looked at the shopkeeper Zhao in surprise.
