"A braised pork ribs, a secret sea bass, a stir-fried vegetables in sauce, two bowls of rice, that's it. ”

"Okay, guest officer, sit down, and let the kitchen serve you food immediately. ”

"Thank you, you're welcome. ”

In the crowded restaurant, the lean shopkeeper glanced up at the three distinguished guests behind the table and gave a courteous smile.

Although the three distinguished guests behind this table do not seem to be rich or vicious, in fact, in the eyes of others, they are just an ordinary family of three.

The most well-informed shopkeeper in the neighborhood on weekdays knows that the charming beauty who sits next to the little girl is not big, but this is not big, but in Pingshui County, which is not big, it is not small, and the number one gold-lettered shopkeeper in the accommodation industry.

This morning, I did hear that the famous 'Rainbow Carp Restaurant' was closed for a day, but no matter how shrewd the shopkeeper was, he couldn't guess that she would be a guest at his own restaurant that was not very famous.

How dare you slacken?

Can't!

The shopkeeper glanced at the male shopkeeper who was standing behind the counter with a scholarly voice, walked over quickly, and was about to say a few flattering words, when he was suddenly glared at by the latter: "Don't go to the kitchen quickly and order!"

Instead of getting angry, the shopkeeper who was inexplicably scolded for half of the sentence was willing to laugh at the "hehe" and ran to the kitchen. Only the shopkeeper who tried to dress himself up as beautiful as a jade tree was left, looking at the charming beauty with a thin fan in his hand stupidly, and staring at the white shirt with murderous eyes from time to time.

The Rainbow Carp Pavilion was full, and it had nothing to do with her beauty.

......

Bai Xiucai felt a chill down his spine.

When Bai Xiucai walked into the store, he felt a chill down his spine.

Although he had noticed the envy and blush in the eyes of the passers-by since this morning, and before a pillar of incense, in the tailor's clothing shop, he had understood the meaning of acquaintances from the neighborhood, but at this moment, he really felt a chill similar to 'I want to kill and then hurry'.

He glanced at the male shopkeeper behind the ledger with some humility, and then immediately looked back.

Bai Xiucai has heard about it. said that this male shopkeeper is a native of Pingshui County, and he has been a childhood sweetheart with the shopkeeper since he was a child. I thought I was going to take the path of the doll's relatives, but I didn't expect to kill a 'Pingshui Hero' halfway and kidnap her. The annoyed male shopkeeper in his chest wanted to go to theorize, but he was inexplicably pressed down by a few guys with black faces and brocade clothes. Then his heart was as dead as ashes, and he was as silent as a cicada.

Later, he suddenly learned that the ninety-five honor was brought back to his hometown by his father, and the male shopkeeper's heart was ignited with a raging hope. It's just that who would have expected that the spark in her heart would last for a long time, and in order to wait for that person, she also opened a restaurant by herself, named 'Rainbow Carp Pavilion', and made a 'Leaping Dragon Gate'. He refused to admit defeat, and also learned from her to open a restaurant and named it 'Pond in the Pond', as if saying that he was her true destiny. Finally, she went from looking at the gate of the county every day in the past few years to only looking at the door of the store from a distance, and then she didn't want to look anymore. He thought his chance had come.

Then, a white shirt came into the world like a heavenly soldier.

Angry, why not angry.

He is already thirty-seven or eighteen, like a child who has been robbed of the candy in his hand, and he can't wait to point at the old god and roll around. But God didn't do anything but rain on him.

I can't put it down, I can't give it up, and I can't beat it.

That's all I can do is stare at you.

Bai Xiucai smiled bitterly and sighed lightly.

The shopkeeper raised his head and said softly, "Let's go to the tailor's shop in Yun'an City in a while." ”

Bai Xiucai frowned slightly, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's okay, since I said that I would take Xiaoli to Fenglin Street in the east of the city to play in the afternoon, I can't break my promise." ”

"Then your clothes ......"

"It's okay, I'll wait for Tailor Liu to buy the goods in two days. ”

Looking at the elated little dot who was swinging his legs, humming children's songs, Bai Xiucai smiled lightly.

Seeing that he was so decisive, the shopkeeper did not talk about it any more.

It is also strange to say, when they went to Tailor Liu on the corner of the street this morning to buy custom-made autumn clothes, they should have the most white fabric in stock in the tailor shop, but there was not even a single one. When asked the reason, Tailor Liu only said that someone came two days ago to buy all of them, and they didn't have time to buy them, so they waited for two more days. But if he waits for two days, maybe this Bai Xiucai will leave those few pieces of broken silver in the Manyan Courtyard again.

The shopkeeper sighed lightly, shook the thin fan in his hand, and looked at the man in white in front of him, his eyes soft.

She was actually quite grateful to him.

It's not just because he, as a bookkeeper, has clearly calculated the original confused accounts of the Rainbow Carp Pavilion, and it's not just because he is kind and has carefully taught the little carp who refuses to go to the private school to read and write, and even make plans.

He's kind of like that guy.

The man who entered the dragon gate and never looked back.

The shopkeeper lowered his head slightly, looking at the steaming cup of green weak tea on the table. The surface of the water in the cup is like a mirror reflecting a beautiful face that is only lightly smeared. Ordinary people only think that the people in the tea are very good-looking, but she knows the sweet and sour taste of the tea.

Three years ago, white shirts were covered in dust and roaming street corners like walking corpses. She couldn't bear to see it, so she invited him into the store to rest and eat, and she didn't need to pay the price with money, just a decade or two of labor. He nodded, as if in reply, but his face was cold and devoid of joy and pleasure—like an empty shell with a dead soul. She was puzzled, and tried to ask the reason, but she didn't know where to speak. Fortunately, the second child in the store was clever and intelligent, and took him to the Manyan Courtyard that no one praised on the grounds of familiarity. She thought it was just a bad idea, but she didn't expect that when he returned to the store at midnight, it would be like a different person, talking and laughing naturally and decently, without the zombie appearance before.

Later, she learned from the neighbors that he was a poor man who had fled from the north, and that his hometown village had been razed to the ground by the barbarians. And that day, in Manyan Courtyard, he unexpectedly met his long-lost fellow villager Qingmei, and he had the meaning of living a good life. So she never stopped him from going to the Manyan Courtyard, and every time she learned that he had left all his week's wages there, she could only blame him softly.

But when he washed his white shirt, she felt as if his story was far more than what his neighbors had told. Once, when the neighborhood caught a thief, he caught up with the flying thief who ran as fast as a rabbit; in the inn trouble a few days ago, he caught the fists of the young man Peiyu and the sturdy captain one by one...... How could an ordinary poor scholar be on an equal footing with the lieutenant who was actually the lord of a county?

She used to be a ranger, so she can see that his skills are by no means a scholar.

However, even if she saw so many clues, she never asked him about his identity.

It's not that she's not interested, it's just that there's always a pimple in her heart: when she asks him thoroughly, that's when he leaves the Rainbow Carp Pavilion.

When we meet, why do we need to get to the bottom of it?

She probably didn't want him to leave.

She probably liked him a lot.

"Here comes the food!"

The shopkeeper who was holding the evening dish walked briskly and placed the steaming secret sea bass on the table steadily.

Bai Xiucai thanked Xiao Er, picked up a piece of fish meat with bamboo chopsticks, and put it in his mouth, and suddenly showed surprise: "This taste...... Maybe it's even better than the Dragon Gate. ”

"Hey, really, really?"

Xiao Budian stepped forward and looked curiously at the plate of secret sea bass.

Bai Xiucai nodded solemnly and said, "You taste it, Brother Bai won't lie to you." ”

"Then you feed me~" Xiao Carp said coquettishly, "I always say that Little Carp has grown up, and Brother Bai hasn't fed me for a long time!"

Bai Xiucai smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, just once today." ”

He changed into a pair of clean bamboo chopsticks, picked up a small piece of fish, and brought it to Xiao Budian's mouth.

Xiao Bu took a bite and ate it, and then his eyes widened, his eyes full of surprise: "Hey! It's really better than Yuelongmen!

The shopkeeper put down the thin fan, and looked at the dish with a slight suspicion in his eyes, which should not be as good as the delicacy of Yuelongmen: "Really?"

Bai Xiucai nodded, subconsciously picked up a small piece of fish meat, and sent it to her: "You can taste it......"

Before the words fell, he suddenly froze in place.

The slender fingers gently lifted the green silk on her cheeks, and she leaned forward slightly in a graceful posture, holding the fish meat on the bamboo chopsticks.

This situation is beautiful.

After looking good, the chill on the back turned into killing intent.

Bai Xiucai shuddered, hurriedly withdrew his chopsticks, and buried himself in tea.

She chewed and smiled.

"That's it. ”
