Chapter 42 He is Xiaojiu’s master

The young man didn't make a sound, he just lowered his head and trembled slightly.

It wasn't that he was afraid of his little master, but the sudden concern made him feel overwhelmed and warm.

In the past years, Xiao Jiu's memories were only the ridicule, contempt and disgust of others towards him. No one had ever cared about whether he was hungry or cold.

No one cared about his life or death.

To be precise, most of the people around him were looking forward to the day when he would die silently in his hut.

Seeing that the young man was unwilling to answer, Su Qingtian was not annoyed and kept talking to herself.

"Okay, if you're not picky about food, I'll just order what I like."

After saying that, the little girl opened the curtain and walked out.

Seeing Mr. Xiao waiting for her, she immediately opened her arms for a hug.

Old General Xiao held his little granddaughter firmly in his arms and weighed her, she was still a little light.

"Nan'er said you were so hungry that you didn't want to leave. How far have you traveled in Zhuangzi?"

The old man's eyes were filled with distress, but he would not blame Xiao Nan.

I just warned myself that next time I take my grandchildren out, I must ask the people around me to prepare more snacks to avoid starving the little babies.

"Brother Nan is so kind. While playing with me, he also found someone to pick fruits for me to eat."

She said happily, "Those red fruits are delicious. Grandpa will take me to pick them next time."

Xiao Nan, who was suddenly praised, smiled sheepishly.

"Okay, okay."

Although I don’t know what my granddaughter ate, it must have been the fruit trees growing vigorously in the village.

Shopkeeper Qian from Qingfenglou saw the visitor and walked out of the store to greet him enthusiastically.

"Miss, how about the private room on the second floor?"

This is the first time that General Xiao has seen shopkeeper Qian so enthusiastic in all the years he has been coming to Qingfeng Tower.

As a shopkeeper, he naturally greets people with a smile, but his attitude today is more than ten times slower than before.

Looking at the little girl in his arms, General Xiao couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, my little granddaughter, who had only been here for a few days, would be more useful in Fengcheng than a general like him.

Mr. Xiao only knew one thing about pretending to be Meng Fang last night, and didn't know that he had many other connections with Qingfeng Tower.

Shopkeeper Qian was extremely grateful to Su Qingtian for her help.

If the young lady hadn't suddenly appeared and led the soldiers to rescue the two girls, the reputation of his huge wine shop would have been ruined.

In addition, after the young man went to report to the official, Zhou Jingwan took Huan'er and left Fengcheng the next day.

Since the government couldn't find the victim, he must be charged with lying.

Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Liu heard the young lady handling the matter and immediately released the young man back.

Shopkeeper Qian was filled with doubts and couldn't help but ask someone about Su Qingtian's background.

It didn't matter if he inquired about it. His distant relative who worked in the Xiao Mansion directly praised this young lady to the sky, saying that she was a little fairy who knew everything about heaven and earth and could eliminate ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Qian couldn't help but admire Su Qingtian's admiration.

The young lady who had saved herself from danger was nestling in the arms of General Xiao.

The little girl put her hands around the old man's neck and smiled sweetly at Shopkeeper Qian.

"I want the one with the best view."

"Don't worry!"

"I'd also like to eat roasted chicken and white meat with garlic paste, and, by the way, braised mandarin fish."

"And drink grape juice."

"Okay~"

Shopkeeper Qian shouted and led everyone up to the second floor.

The elegant room definitely has the most elegant view in Qingfeng Building. You can't help but see the bustling streets and alleys below, and it is an excellent location to watch the sunset.

"General, there are five of you here. I will arrange two vegetarian dishes and a soup for you, which should be enough."

General Xiao was frugal and restrained and never wasted. Shopkeeper Qian remembered that.

The old general nodded, he was very satisfied with this arrangement.

After shopkeeper Qian left, Mr. Xiao placed Su Qingtian on the seat next to him and sat down.

Xiao Nan was about to sit on the other side of Tiantian's sister when he saw her waving behind him and patting the armchair he wanted to sit on.

"Brother Xiaojiu, sit here."

As soon as he turned his head, Xiao Nan saw the silent young man standing there with his head lowered.

Xiao Jiu was also shocked. He originally planned to find a corner to settle down after all the masters sat down.

"Everyone, please sit down."

Mr. Xiao did not reject Su Qingtian's request and looked at the two standing people.

"Wu Ming, you sit down too."

Xiao Nan, who was still a little unhappy at first, heard his grandfather's words and quickly took Lu Wuming's hand to the table and sat down next to him.

When Xiao Jiu saw Lu Wuming sitting down, he hesitated for a moment and sat down beside the young lady tremblingly.

Several people were admiring the scenery outside the window, and soon shopkeeper Qian and his waiter filled the table with dishes.

After a few more pleasantries, shopkeeper Qian happily left the box.

Suddenly, the box was filled with an alluring aroma, causing Su Qingtian to swallow her saliva.

The boy who lowered his head also saw various types of dishes.

This was exquisite food that he had never seen before. The food looked like immortal delicacies from heaven, and he couldn't help but be dazzled by it.

People in Zhuangzi do menial work, and most of the food they eat is coarse grains. Even if there are a few exquisite snacks occasionally, it's not the turn of people like me to enjoy them.

The tip of the boy's nose moved slightly, and the fragrance automatically entered his nasal cavity, making him even hungrier.

"Gulu~"

The sound, which was neither too loud nor too small, was drowned out by the sound of clinking cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks.

Even though she was so hungry that she swallowed her saliva, Xiaojiu still endured it and did not move her chopsticks.

"When you are hungry, you have to eat."

Su Qingtian took a piece of fish belly meat and put it into Xiaojiu's bowl.

She said proudly, "This is the dish I ordered. It's very delicious."

What the little girl means is, if it tastes good, you have to eat it, and if it doesn’t taste good, you have to eat it!

Xiaojiu had never seen a master pick up food for his servants. He was so frightened that he remained motionless and did not dare to move.

"Brother Xiaojiu, who am I?"

Seeing that the other party didn't move his chopsticks, Su Qingtian couldn't help but straighten her face and asked with a slightly dissatisfied voice.

"The young lady is the master, Xiaojiu's master."

"Yes." Nodding, Su Qingtian said half hard and half soft, "Now I order you to eat, starting with this piece of fragrant meat, eat!"

Xiaojiu timidly looked up at General Xiao. Seeing that the general had no intention of stopping him, he picked up the fish meat in the ginger bowl with chopsticks and ate it.

He was extremely hungry, not just today's uncontrollable hunger, but every day for a long time.

Because he was an unlucky person, no one in Zhuangzi dared to be friends with him. Although he had never been allowed to eat, no one would ask him if he had enough to eat.

As he gets older, the same food is simply not enough to satisfy his hunger. In addition, Xiao Jiu secretly practices martial arts at night, leaving Xiao Jiu in a state of hunger almost every day.

When the fish enters your mouth, the soft, glutinous and fragrant flavor explodes in your taste buds instantly. Before you have time to chew, the fat and tender fish belly is swallowed with saliva.

So fragrant...

It was so fragrant that Xiaojiu forgot about his original cramped self, picked up the chopsticks and couldn't help but pick up another piece of fish and started eating.
