Chapter 64 Dinner at the Fly Tavern(1/2)
After Fu Xiao finished speaking, he stood up.
Ji Yao originally thought that he would have to be polite to her no matter what, but he didn't expect that Fu Xiao would agree so simply and neatly.
So much so that her surprise was even written on her face.
"Um...you just left like this without calling your Modie?" Ji Yao kindly reminded, "At least he has been taking care of me for you for so long, but it's so uninteresting at this time."
Fu Xiao paused, turned and smiled at her: "Isn't it to save you some money?"
Ji Yao was speechless for a while. What image did he have in Fu Xiao's eyes? How could he just take advantage of this little money?
"Oh, by the way, Mo Di has already left the city." Fu Xiao added in hindsight.
Ji Yao was very surprised.
She was never informed of the action plans of these two people, so Fu Xiao's words inevitably made her a little confused.
How come Mo Di was sent away after everything was going well?
"No, what's going on with you guys? Are you really working in shifts, one comes back and the other leaves?"
Ji Yao frowned and kept complaining.
"If there are three of us, one of us will run away? OK, OK, OK, you are the only one who has a heavy responsibility. You have been doing this and that for a long time. You can just leave when you say so. Then next time, can it be my turn to go back? Who can
Isn’t there any emergency at home?”
"How did you end up talking about it..."
When Fu Xiao heard that Ji Yao was going back, he hurriedly explained: "I asked him to go back to the villa to deliver some things, and we will meet again then."
Ji Yao glared at him.
It seemed that there was little hope of breaking up the gang and running away. She sighed secretly. If she took this job, she would not be able to leave home for half a year. The money she hid was important not to be stolen by rats.
One moment Ji Yao was still thinking about his private money, but the next moment he changed his mind and felt that it was over. After that, she and Fu Xiao were traveling together, and she didn't know what kind of embarrassing situation they would find themselves in.
She had to be very careful and not show any signs of timidity.
After such an interruption, Ji Yao almost forgot about the business of getting it back.
Just as he was about to tell Fu Xiao to stop spending money randomly on her, he was pulled up.
Fu Xiao urged: "Hurry up, I'm almost hungry. If you need anything, let's talk while we eat."
The anxious look was no different from that of a wolf that had been hungry for three or four days.
Ji Yao had no choice but to be half pushed and half dragged out of the inn door.
Calculating carefully, it should be the first time Ji Yao has stepped across this threshold since they went out to visit Huang Qi that day...
She stepped on the bluestone-paved street, stood in the bright sunshine and squinted her eyes, getting used to the bright flowers and greenery. Then she stayed on the street, not knowing where to go.
Although she had just praised Haikou and said she wanted to treat Fu Xiao to dinner, at this time, she really couldn't figure out the direction.
Ji Yao only felt weak and helpless.
Fu Xiao noticed her confusion, stretched out his hand, pinched it with his thumb and index finger, picked up Ji Yao's sleeves and walked away, taking the initiative to lead the way.
He was kind enough to save the siege, and Ji Yao was not stupid.
She didn't deliberately let go of him along the way, just followed Fu Xiao, turned around at the intersection, and arrived at the busy city.
They passed by many large and luxuriously decorated restaurants.
Inside, there was a crowd of people drinking wine, and the figures and demeanor of the diners, just by looking at them, revealed the words "rich and greasy."
Ji Yao still thought that Fu Xiao was going to kill her, and she couldn't help but feel hurt.
But seeing Fu Xiao passing by here without stopping and not looking there at all, Ji Yao couldn't guess where he was going.
Fu Xiao led Ji Yao into a small alley on the back side of the street, stopped in front of a small shop, and then took off Ji Yao's sleeves.
Ji Yao was already dizzy at this moment.
Fortunately, she still had Fu Xiao by her side. If she were to walk back alone now, she might not be able to find the way until dark.
She looked around and saw that this alley was no different from the ones she had walked through just now.
How could a store be so unreasonable that they open a shop here?
Ji Yao secretly breathed a little more before he could bother to observe the small shop.
The shop is not big, it just opens a small door in a wall, and it doesn't even have a signboard.
Just looking around, their small square tables and benches were placed in a long row along the direction of the alley.
Ji Yao took a closer look, then frowned.
I don’t know how many years these tables and stools have gone through and how many people have sat on them to eat and drink. The surface of the wood is covered with patina and is shiny.
She looked up at the sky.
It was probably already past dinner time at this time, which was a good time for a nap, so Ji Yao didn't see how crowded their house was.
Only the piles of bowls that had not had time to be washed were placed one on top of the other in the middle of the road, piled high, indicating that this family was extraordinary.
Ji Yao sniffed.
I tried to smell some aroma, but I didn't know whether it was closed or closed down, but there was no smell of a stove being lit.
Ji Yao smacked his lips again and asked Fu Xiao quietly: "Are you sure you want to eat here?"
Fu Xiao nodded seriously.
He's not picky.
Ji Yao thought about the street restaurant he passed just now. Not to mention whether it was delicious, it was at least clean and bright.
After comparing this small restaurant, Fu Xiao choked up and said: "Good guy, I finally asked you to treat you to a meal, but I chose a place like this. You really saved me money."
Ji Yao thought that there was no one around, and there was a hint of contempt in his words.
He didn't control his voice very much when he spoke, and every word was very loud in this empty alley.
When she said this, she happened to catch up with the clerk from the small shop. He raised the two corners of the table and dragged it on the ground with a clang, covering up half of her words.
I don’t know whether the man listened or not, but it didn’t affect the work he was doing.
Ji Yao felt guilty and hurriedly covered his mouth, silently watching the boy clearing the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.
Fu Xiao then silently touched Ji Yao with his elbow, telling her not to say anything else.
Ji Yao glanced at him and pursed his lips tightly.
She didn't need to be reminded by Fu Xiao at all. Ever since she saw someone coming out, her arrogant momentum had been reduced by half. The words she just said became softer as she went back, so Fu Xiao stood close and used his ears better.
Can understand.
The boy pushed all the piles of bowls on the floor into a bamboo basket, picked them up with some difficulty, turned around and quickly walked into the inner hall, leaving Fu Xiaoji Yao and Fu Xiao Ji Yao outside.
Ji Yao just thought that he said something wrong and the boy heard it, so he treated the two of them as transparent persons. Just when he was about to ask Fu Xiao what to do, he saw the boy walking out again.
There was no unhappy look on his face. He even took a rag and wiped the table near them. He mumbled something incomprehensible and gestured for Ji Yao and the others to sit down.
Ji Yao was a little hesitant at first, but when he saw Fu Xiao lifted up his coat and sat down, he didn't mind at all and had to sit opposite him.
The waiter put half of the rag in the apron pocket around his waist, bent his waist, and smiled innocently at the two of them.
He pointed at Fu Xiao and then at Ji Yao, stretched out a finger, made a two-hand sign, and then made a muddy sound similar to "Ah, ah" from his throat.
Ji Yao thought to himself, "This guy can't speak." Suddenly he felt a little sorry. It wasn't that he ignored the two of them, but that he couldn't say hello at all.
Fu Xiao nodded, and the man went down happily.
So what do you want to eat?
Ji Yao has never experienced anything like this before, and he doesn't have to worry about it for a long time whenever he goes out to order food.
She couldn't understand it at all. This place was so shabby that it didn't even have a menu. Even the only waiter couldn't be called a waiter.
What exactly do they sell?
There was no communication between a mute and a normal person, so he just drew a number back and forth, and it was decided so simply and crudely?
Could it be that some evil spiritual communication method is used?
Ji Yao blinked his eyes in confusion, trying to get Fu Xiao to explain.
Fu Xiao just asked her to calm down.
Not long after, the waiter came out with a bowl, each with a browned pancake on top.
The waiter bent down, put the two bowls on the table and left without saying anything.
Oh, of course he couldn't explain anything.
Ji Yao looked at it curiously.
Anything that can become a gourmet dish must have both color, flavor and flavor, and the one in front of you is no exception.
The smell lingering on the tip of her nose was quite enticing, neither fishy nor smelly. Even the cake had been processed in the fire and gave off a unique burnt aroma, which made her greedy.
But Ji Yao really couldn't guess what was in the bowl below.
To be continued...
