Isn't it said that money can make ghosts go around, let alone people?
The shopkeeper received a silver reward from Boss Shen Qiqi. Not only was he asked to memorize a few dish names, but even if he was asked to memorize the five hundred years of history of Furong Town, he would not hesitate to use his head to hang the beam. The hard work of the cone stabbing butt comes from the back.
Hearing Shen Qiqi's instructions, the shopkeeper slapped a shriveled breast and promised: "Xiangu, don't worry, you will never make a mistake. The little old man will personally serve the dishes to Xiangu!"
He looked Shen Qiqi up and down and said with a smile: "Are you going to eat in the guest room, or are you going to come down and dine in the lobby?"
Seeing his meaningful smile, Shen Qiqi understood it after a moment's thought, so she didn't answer directly and asked with a smile: "Does the shopkeeper have any good suggestions?"
The names of the dishes she just gave out are, to put it nicely, affectionate, but to put it bluntly, they are sour to the teeth.
Rather than saying that is the name of the dish, it is more accurate to say that it is the Huaichun thoughts of the youngest daughter's family.
In addition, Xie Beiming has a face as handsome as an immortal, the shopkeeper must have thought that she was using the name of the dish to express her daughter's love to her lover.
When the shopkeeper asked this question at this time, he must help her.
After all, the reward she just gave was not that small.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper laughed and said: "Such a fairy, our guest has a hot spring in the backyard, so our boss has circled the hot spring and made a greenhouse. Don't look at the heavy snow outside and the cold weather. It's desolate, but the greenhouse is warm as spring, and the flowers are fragrant. It's most suitable for young couples... Well, it's most suitable for friends to get together. Fairy, do you want to move the dining place to the greenhouse? ?”
The fairy girl in front of her was very generous, and he was so dedicated to helping her. Maybe the fairy girl would be happy and reward him with another big silver ingot.
What? He, a small shopkeeper, dared to use his boss’s greenhouse as a favor without authorization... Who said that the boss and the shopkeeper couldn’t be the same person?
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, his old eyes flashed with a shrewd dark light, and he looked at Shen Qiqi with a smile.
As expected, Shen Qiqi's eyes widened when she heard this, and she took out a big silver ingot and threw it to him: "Just follow what the shopkeeper said."
For monks like them, a large pile of gold is far less valuable than a small piece of spiritual stone.
Of course, the main reason is that she, Shen Qiqi, is not short of money - last time she cured the evil poison of the young master of the Jiang family in Jinyang, the master Jiang brought her several boxes of thank-you gifts, including two gold ingots alone. Where is the box?
In order to cook for her, Mr. Xie secretly practiced his cooking skills by himself and almost burned himself to death in the kitchen. What happened to her giving him a flower house banquet in return?
This is called reciprocity.
Xie Beiming didn't know that there was a big banquet to attend, and was discussing the next plan with his senior brother Chu Ziyue in the room.
Suddenly, I felt the jade slip in my arms shake.
Xie Beiming stopped talking and took out the jade slip placed close to him in his arms.
A line of delicate hairpin flowers in regular script stood neatly on the jade slip.
——Mr. Xie, have you arrived at Furong Town?
Xie Beiming looked at the words on the jade slip, his eyes softened unconsciously, he concentrated on his fingertips and raised his hand to reply.
--Um.
Then he stared at the jade slip. After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, he felt a little disappointed.
In the end, he was about to put the jade slip away, but his palms felt numb, and the jade slip moved again.
On the white jade board, several lines of fluorescent hairpin-shaped regular script slowly appeared, almost filling the entire white jade board.
With so many words, no wonder it took so long to write.
The corners of Xie Beiming's mouth turned up.
Chu Ziyue, who was sitting opposite him, just took a big sip of tea in his mouth. When he looked up and saw the corners of his mouth raised, he was startled and almost choked on the tea.
He exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow, Beiming, it turns out you can laugh too! I haven't seen you smile on this journey, I thought you couldn't laugh... What did you see? You are so happy, please let me
Take a look too."
Chu Ziyue had a carefree temperament and had no concept of voyeurism. As he spoke, he stretched his neck to glance at the jade slip in Xie Beiming's hand, but the latter covered it with his sleeves and said to him seriously: "Brother, you are peeping on others."
Bad letter."
Chu Ziyue:......
If this wasn't his junior brother, and if it happened to be the one that suited his temperament, he would have pinned the person down and beat him up.
Chu Ziyue smacked his lips twice and curled his lips and said: "Tsk, tsk, you're still peeping, it sounds like I care about it... Okay, okay, I won't look, I'll make you nervous. Then what, you
Hurry up, I'm busy, I'll wait for you in bed."
Xie Beiming:......
Mr. Xie's expression was a little chapped. He endured it again and again, but finally suppressed the urge to remind him to pay attention to his words. He ignored him and moved his sleeves to read the content on the white jade board.
——Mr. Xie, do you know how much a spiritual stone is worth? I’m sure you don’t know, but let me tell you, a spiritual stone is enough for a family of three to eat and drink every day for ten years!
In other words, the word "um" you just passed to me, "um", was used up to provide ten years of rations for a family of three in one fell swoop! Ten years of rations, "um" was gone in one fell swoop, what is this?
Only such a wealthy family dares to be so extravagant and wasteful! So Mr. Xie, can we try to make the best use of everything in the future... You should at least write a few more words!
Mr. Xie, who had just been frightened at Chu Ziyue's place and was taught from a distance not to be extravagant and wasteful, said: ...It's so difficult.
He turned the jade slip over and looked at the groove behind it.
There is a spiritual stone embedded in the groove of the jade slip.
The same goes for the jade slip in Shen Qiqi's hand.
Two jade slips can send messages instantly across thousands of rivers and mountains, relying on this spiritual stone.
But it was not as exaggerated as Shen Qiqi said. A simple letter would consume a spiritual stone.
However, Mr. Xie did not intend to defend himself.
He good-naturedly drew the word "good" on the white jade board and was about to pass it on when he suddenly remembered what Shen Qiqi said, "Don't be extravagant and wasteful." So he silently added a new line under the word "good" and added more
A few words.
--good.
--did you rest?
After he finished writing, he counted the numbers and then passed it on with satisfaction.
Shen Qiqi responded quickly.
——Well, this time you wrote a total of six words, two symbols, five more words and one symbol than before, not bad, Mr. Xie has made rapid progress and deserves praise.
Mr. Xie:......
It seems that next time he will have to write a few more words.
But before he could reply, a few lines of small regular script with hairpin flowers appeared on the white jade board.
——I was so surprised by your rapid progress just now that I even forgot to answer your question. That’s it. I have already rested. The person talking to you now is not me, but my soul after falling asleep. I
My soul told me that it’s so boring here in the water prison, and she wants to see you... Mr. Xie, is that okay?
Xie Beiming:......
He squinted his eyes and read the few lines of hairpin regular script again thoughtfully, then turned to look at Chu Ziyue, who was lying on the bed with his legs crossed and playing with his sword crossed.
"Senior brother, I'm going out to pick up someone."
"Who are you picking up? I'll go with you."
"My fiancée."
Chu Ziyue, who had just put on one shoe: ...Forget it, he should sleep alone.
Chu Ziyue's originally high enthusiasm was suddenly extinguished.
With a look of sadness, he took off the shoes he had just put on, rolled on the bed, and said, "Why do you feel a little sleepy all of a sudden? Junior brother, I won't accompany you, you can go alone."
He does not admit that it is actually because he is afraid of being rejected.
Xie Beiming didn't want to expose him and said "Okay", walked out of the room, stood in the corridor and felt it carefully, then squinted at the guest room next door.
