That, fourth brother, have you really wandered the rivers and lakes?"

In the lobby where there were almost no guests, Trotting Tang Ning Caihe sat next to Li Si, looked at Li Si with those eyes full of curiosity and asked.

He asked very carefully, fiddling with his fingers nervously as he asked, his eyes flickering a little, as if he was afraid that he had asked some question that he shouldn't have asked. But even so, being able to take the initiative to talk to Li Si is already a rare progress for him in the past few days.

Since the shopkeeper left Li Si, three days have passed now. Li Si and a few other guys in the store were also familiar, at least they knew their names, and they also learned some of their stories from the mouth of the half-cut immortal.

In addition to the trotting Tang Ning Caihe, the old scholar in charge of the accounting room is called Luo Ansheng. I heard that he was rich for a while when he was a child, so he did some learning with the teacher invited by his family. But then his family fell into the middle of the road, so he could only wander around. Unlike his name, it can be said that he has never been born in peace in his life. The experience in the first half of his life is not wonderful, but it is also a lot, he has been a scholar for others, a piano worker for Qinglou, a female celebrity for women, and a hexagram bell for passers-by. He once fell willingly, but he also did things to persuade prostitutes to be good, and finally came here, ready to settle down and spend the rest of his life.

The cook's name is Hao Dayou, and I heard that he became a cook because he could eat. When he was a child, his family couldn't afford to support him, so they left him alone on the road to fend for himself. Later, an old cook picked him up, took him around, and taught him a whole way of cooking, so he became a little cook. He followed the old cook's surname and chose the name, not only because it was pleasant, but also to please a good omen. Hao Dayou has seen and heard a lot, from south to north, from west to east, and there seems to be no place he hasn't been, so it's usually fun to chat with him. After the old cook died, he came here with a letter of introduction, just because the old cook told him that he would not die of hunger here. So he stayed here for I don't know how many years. On weekdays, he takes the most care of Xiaohe, and he will give him a little more when he eats, probably because both of them are orphans.

The woman who did the handyman was called Cao Wenxuan, and her name was good, not like an ordinary girl. But Banjuxian didn't say much about her origin, but just told Li Si that her origin was not good, so he didn't say much.

Trotter Tang Ning Caihe was an orphan, and since he wandered on a snowy night five years ago, when he was only eight years old, the shopkeeper took him in without saying much. said that he was asked to be a handyman, but in fact, he was just taking care of him. Ning Caihe is very sensible, although he is not very old, he does not have to do any work every day Cao Wenxuan and them, I think he wants to repay the shopkeeper. This time there was a problem in the restaurant, and he didn't think about leaving, in his words, he was where everyone was, and the rest didn't go anywhere. Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes were red for several days, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The shopkeeper's name is Zhang Susu, a girl from an ordinary family. Although her name is very plain, her figure is enough to be called enchanting, and she has also been one of the main means of attracting guests over the years. But I heard that she is the life of a lone star, and when she was young, because she killed her husband and parents, she was recruited by Banjue to be the shopkeeper. This has been doing this for more than ten years, and she has always been taking care of this store, but I have to say that her life is really not ordinary. Since she took over the store, the store has been getting worse every year, so much so that it is now impossible to open it. However, the half-cut immortal didn't seem to care about this, and had no intention of quitting her, but regarded this as an experience for her.

Finally, there is the half-cut immortal, who claims that He Zhancheng works in this store. This must have been the longest he'd been in the shop, and he himself had been on and off for years.

"Well, it's been a couple of years. To Ning Caihe's question, Li Si replied with a smile, and then turned to ask.

"Who told you this?"

"It was Uncle Zhancheng who said that the fourth brother was a Jianghu man before he came here. Ning Caihe will not lie, and truthfully tell the origin of his news.

"Really?" Li Si nodded, reached out and patted Ning Caihe's hair, then looked sideways at the half-cut immortal standing in the corner wiping the table, and pulled his mouth.

The half-cut immortal hurriedly shrunk his neck, pretending that nothing had happened and continued to wipe the table.

He has a shortcoming that an intelligence dealer should not have, that is, his mouth is leaking, and Xiao Muqiu is much better than him in this regard. I really don't know how he would gain a foothold in this river and lake without that unpredictable disguise technique, and the people he offended alone added up, it is estimated that half of the rivers and lakes will be implicated.

"Hey, hey. Ning Caihe smiled shyly, continued to look at Li Si and asked, "Then fourth brother, do you have a reputation in the rivers and lakes?"

Although he looks like a girl, he is a boy after all, and he has a natural yearning for the stories of the rivers and lakes.

"This ······" Li Si didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I heard that there is indeed a person named Li Si on the rivers and lakes, known as the thief saint, the first in the world. At this time, Lao Luo, who was standing at the counter and making an abacus, suddenly spoke, his head was not raised, and he was probably still calculating how much he would lose today.

"Wow!!" Ning Caihe's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Li Si with a look of surprise, as if he had discovered something big.

"But they shouldn't be the same person, after all, they don't even have different names, and it's impossible for a thief to come to work in a place like ours. But Lao Luo said lightly again, directly breaking Ning Caihe's illusion.

In order to cover up Li Si's identity, when Banjuxian introduced Li Si, he said his Si character into four characters. Anyway, in some ways, it does have some effect.

"Ahh Ning Caihe lowered her eyes as if she was a little disappointed.

"Hey, hey. Hao Dayou, who was sitting at the table, laughed at this, knocked the melon seeds in his hand, and said jokingly: "If he steals the saint, then I will still be alone, Xiaohe, do you want to teach you a hand now?"

Because there are no guests, he can be said to be very idle as a cook now.

"Big brother, you tease me again. Ning Caihe glanced at Hao Dayou complainingly, then clenched his fists and looked at Li Si and said.

"But I believe that the fourth brother is also very powerful. ”

Looking at his serious appearance, he probably didn't want Li Si to be hit in the conversation just now.

Knowing that he was taken care of by this little brother, Li Si could only shake his head with a wry smile and said.

"It's okay, I was just an ordinary Jianghu person before. ”

"That's good too. Ning Caihe stretched out his hands and said a little exaggeratedly: "At least I can know how big this world is, unlike me, I haven't been to other places to see it until now." ”

But even though he said this, he seemed to remember something, grabbed his hair, and smiled stupidly.

"But it's good if I can stay here. ”

As long as this is the case, he is already satisfied.

Lao Luo's abacus hand paused, Hao Dayou glanced at Ning Caihe sideways, fell silent, and stopped talking.

Because they all know that even such a small request may be difficult to maintain.

Seeing the atmosphere in the store, Li Si let out a slight sigh, and he was indeed powerless about this matter. After all, he is not good at business himself, and all he can do is write a few letters to a few friends and ask them to take care of the business here.

After knocking the melon seeds in his hand, Hao Dayou patted the hem of his clothes, stood up and said.

"What do you want to eat in the evening, I'm going to go grocery shopping. ”

"Whatever. Lao Luo replied blandly.

"I can do it too. Ning Caihe responded with a smile.

Half of the immortals were still working, Hao Dayou looked at Li Si, Li Si spread his hands, and said that he didn't ask for it.

Nodding, the cook turned and prepared to go out.

But at this time, the two people walked back from outside the door.

"Don't go yet. Cao Wenxuan pushed Hao Dayou down and re-walked into the door, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper has something to announce." ”

Behind her, Zhang Susu walked in across the threshold with a smile, as if there was some happy event, clapped her hand on the table, and said to everyone.

"I've got a way to get my business back!"

In this regard, the people in the restaurant did not seem to have a big reaction. Because this is the sixth time she has said this sentence in this time, but each time it has not had a big effect.

"Is there anything else, I'll go grocery shopping first. Hao Dayou raised his eyebrows, and was about to walk past Cao Wenxuan's side.

Lao Luo's abacus didn't stop, and Ning Caihe pursed his mouth helplessly.

"Oh, don't. Cao Wenxuan hurriedly grabbed Hao Dayou: "This time is different, this time it may really work." ”

Hao Dayou rolled his eyes, stopped and stood in place.

Li Si sneered, sold the shopkeeper's face, and asked out loud.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know what you have come up with?"

"Hmph. I saw the shopkeeper smile with his mouth hooked, press his hand on the table, and said solemnly: "We solicit customers, use girls to pull." ”

"Crackling. I only heard the sound of an abacus in the store, and Lao Luo stopped, raised his head and calmly announced a result.

"We can't afford to hire girls. ”

"Who said they were going to please. The shopkeeper covered his mouth and smiled, and looked at himself and Cao Wenxuan.

"Aren't there just two big girls who are like flowers?"

······

The store was silent for a while, Lao Luo sighed, shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper, you've been under too much pressure lately, let's go and rest first." ”

"yes. Hao Dayou also glanced at Cao Wenxuan worriedly and said.

"It's good to be confident, but we can't be blindly confident. ”

"Phew!" Hearing what they meant, Cao Wenxuan directly shook the two of them with white eyes: "Why is the old lady not as good as a flower?"

"I think I was also a famous beauty in a radius of 100 miles back then, okay?" Zhang Susu's face also darkened, glaring at Hao Dayou and Luo Ansheng.

But then, she smiled again on her face, and squinted her eyes at Li Si and Ning Caihe who were sitting at the table.

"And even if we can't, aren't there two more here?"

"Huh?" Li Si was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"Boss, shopkeeper, what do you mean? Ning Caihe also felt a chill inexplicably, and shrunk his shoulders.

"Rest assured. Zhang Susu waved his hand and chuckled, looking quite like a Qinglou bustard.

"Xiao Cao and I have already completed the way back, if you two dress up, you will definitely kill those stinky men, and we will leave the rest to us, huh. ”

The smile on Li Si's face couldn't be hung anymore, Ning Caihe got up and was about to run away, but in a blink of an eye, he was pressed in place by Cao Wenxuan, who was quick and quick-eyed.

"Don't be afraid, my sisters will let you go to meet the guests beautifully~"
