Chapter 498: Morning Flowers and Sunset
Hearing that Nangong Chi actually agreed to his request to join the ranks of opening a store, Zhiyun was stunned on the spot, and asked incredulously:
"Master, youβare you serious?"
"That's right, of course it's true!" After nodding, he heard Nangong Chi sigh:
"Alas, like you, I was a little obsessed with the word 'refining' before, but I neglected the 'Tao' in my heart. As a cultivator, we should not be obsessed with cultivation when we re-cultivate, let alone forget our most precious feelings. The ruthless have no way, and forgetting the love is never the direction of the way. In this matter, I failed to set a good example for you before becoming a teacher. Now, if you can take the initiative to help your junior brother and sister, support each other and work together, of course, you will not be hindered as a teacher. Go as you want, and turn this small shop into a veritable 'Qingyun Riverside'. β
After listening to the master's heartfelt encouragement, Zhiyun, who was beaming, bowed deeply.
After saying goodbye to the two elders, he walked quickly to the kitchen......
Seeing that there were only two brothers left on the table, Yuan Songxi picked up the wine bottle and filled the wine glasses for himself and his junior brother. looked at the three children who were busy in the store, and said with a faint smile:
"Senior brother, each of your three apprentices is not simple! Today's scene has touched me a lot. By the way, after seeing their appearance, guess what came to mind?"
"What's so difficult about this, Senior Brother must be thinking of you and me when I was young, right?" Nangong Chi said with a smile.
"Hahaha, exactly, exactly......! Just like me at the beginning, I was serious and cautious in my work, but I always followed my master's words. When encountering special things, they do not dare to make decisions privately, but also look forward to the future. Hehe, look at him, he actually wanted to help Qing'er and them for a long time, but he didn't dare to open his mouth because of you. Isn't it the same as when I was back then?" Yuan Songxi shook his head and sighed with a wry smile.
"Hehe, listening to what Senior Brother said, it's really a bit similar!" Nangong Chi nodded in agreement.
"Of course! But there's something more like it!"
Yuan Songxi's voice changed, and he pointed to Shanhe who had just run into the kitchen and said, "That Sanke is exactly the same as you were back then!"
"Oh, how do you say that?" Nangong Chi said with a slight puzzlement.
"Hehe, this son seems to have an easy-going temperament, but he actually has a very good idea. Once the matter is determined, it will be chased without sparing, and no one can pull it back, even the master can only stare dryly. Look at this little shop, if you don't let him open it, he will open it secretly. Even if no one helps, he prepares the store properly. Hehe, is it the same temper as you?"
After listening to Senior Brother's words, Nangong Chi immediately shook his head and denied: "Senior Brother, how can I have such a character? I'm not as disobedient as him." β
"Hey, why didn't the junior brother admit it in a blink of an eye?" Seeing that the junior brother denied it, Yuan Songxi immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and recalled:
"I remember that in order to find a set of dolls, you went down the mountain without permission and ran all over the country, but you didn't listen to anyone, and you just refused to come back. The angry master almost kicked you out of the sect. In the end, I personally went down the mountain to arrest you, hehe, could it be that the junior brother has forgotten?"
"Hehe, senior brother, this is ...... Don't mention it again. In addition, I can't let my apprentices know, especially Qing'er's girl, if she knows, I really can't control them in the future. After smiling awkwardly, he heard Nangong Chi sigh lightly:
"Back then, I wasn't trying to please her...... Alas, let's not talk about that, brother, come on! Let's drink, drink!"
"Well, Qing'er has really grown up over the years. For a while, I can always see the shadow of my sister from her. Senior brother, don't you think that the clothes that Qing'er is wearing today miss the ...... back then?"
As soon as he was halfway through speaking, seeing that Nangong Chi's face had already shown a touch of sadness, Yuan Songxi hurriedly stopped, raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank it all with Nangong Chi.
......
It didn't take long for the small shop to boom as waves of customers poured in.
With Zhiyun's help, Nangong Qing, who was in a hurry, was a lot easier, and while taking care of the guests, she could also occasionally enter the kitchen to help Shanhe complete some trivial chores.
After tasting a few dishes later, Nangong Chi and Yuan Songxi also spoke highly of Shanhe's cooking skills.
The two of them hadn't sat together for a long time and drank and ate so easily, so they took the opportunity to order a few more cold dishes, eating and drinking, the more they chatted, the more interesting they became, and they had no intention of leaving in a short time.
Since the chefs entered the store, Shanhe has never left the kitchen and oven, meeting the continuous demand of the store as quickly as possible.
Although the work is quite hard, tiring and hot.
But when he thought that every time he cooked a dish, he could earn several contribution points, Shanhe couldn't help but smile on his face, and he didn't feel so tired when he worked!
During this period, when entering and leaving the kitchen a few times, Shanhe secretly saw the master and Uncle Yuan eating wine and food happily, and even the senior brother stood up and helped the junior sister greet the guests and clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Seeing this scene, although Shanhe didn't understand how the senior sister got the master and the senior brother, but seeing that these two people no longer meant to blame, his heart that was hanging in the air gradually fell back to its original place.
At about 6 p.m., it was already dark outside.
As soon as Shanhe came to the oven outside the store, intending to cook a Kunlun grilled fish, a familiar woman's voice came from his ears:
"Haha! It's really an instructor! Luo Han, Lao Du, come here, don't stand so far away!"
Hearing this, Shanhe quickly guessed the identity of the arrival, looked back at Zhang Ping, who was wearing long braids, and said:
"Yo, how many of you are coming to dinner, how about it, have you found anything delicious along the way?"
Hearing Shanhe's question, Zhang Ping shrugged her shoulders and said with embarrassment:
"Instructor, you know our situation. The food in these shops looks delicious, but the price is ...... It's not low! I just bought two vegetarian buns, and it cost 2 contributions, which really hurts me! Suddenly I feel like I can't afford to eat. β
Because of the need to grill fish, Shanhe is still busy in his hands. After he put the whole fish on the grill, he replied:
"Hehe, it's okay, we'll eat in the store later. I've got enough here!"
After smiling gratefully, I heard Zhang Ping suddenly sigh and say:
"Alas, the poor have a hard time. It would be nice if I could exchange the money under the mountain for contributions! Even if it was a thousand yuan for a little!"
As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Shanhe to reply, I heard that Feng Shao, who had just come to Zhang Ping's side, had spoken first:
"What? 1,000 dollars for a little? Alas, even if it is 10,000 yuan, or 100,000 yuan for a little, I am willing to change it!"
