"Miss Yun!" After the meeting was over, Yun Xi arrived at the lobby and saw the waiter waving to her, as if he had something to tell her quietly.
"What's wrong?" Yun Xi and Liu Xingzhi looked at each other and walked over with doubts on their faces.
The waiter pulled her mysteriously, kept her aside, and whispered: "My shopkeeper said he was in a hurry and left first. You must keep that jade pendant and don't let others take it away, otherwise there will be trouble."
!”
Yun Xi nodded and said uncertainly: "Then the old man just left this sentence?"
"Then what else do you want to leave a message for?" The waiter looked at her sideways, "The shopkeeper didn't even leave a message for me, so just be satisfied!"
Yun Xi was speechless. This was worthy of jealousy. This waiter was simply the reincarnation of a jealous spirit!
"Okay, I get it. I hid it and no one else can find it!" Yunxi waved his hand. It was just a jade pendant. It was made so mysterious. But considering the soft feeling of the jade pendant, it must be worth it.
It’s expensive, so it’s normal to be afraid of losing it.
The night passed quickly. The people in Liujia Village were all good at work and were quick to prepare. By the time the sun reached the treetops, several tables of sumptuous meals had already been served.
When I say it’s rich, it’s only compared to what I ate before. In fact, it’s just one portion of fried mushrooms, one portion of cress cashews, one portion of hazelnut pumpkin, plus one portion of sauce and one portion of braised soup, and even served with multigrain pancakes.
In this way, it also attracts people to drool.
Because the shopkeeper was not here, Liu Xingzhi pulled the waiter over and ate with them. Although it was not a big meal, it was the best thing they had at the moment.
Perhaps because it had been a long time since he had eaten with so many people, the waiter was quite excited. Regardless of everyone's dissuasion, he went to the kitchen and fried two portions of scrambled eggs with green onions. The orange-yellow eggs mixed with the aroma of green onions attracted the eager eyes of all the children.
Speaking of which, these guys haven't eaten eggs like this for a long time.
Seeing them like this, the waiter pushed the egg forward and only ate some mushrooms and cress. As for the egg, he didn't touch it in one bite!
"It seems that we have to continue to work hard!" Liu Xingzhi whispered: "I hope that in the future our children can eat meat and eggs as they want, and no longer have to drool over a plate of eggs!
"
Yun Xi didn't hear what he was saying clearly, and thought he wanted to eat eggs, so he lowered his voice and said, "I have several baskets of eggs there. If you want to eat them, I'll cook them for you when you get the chance!"
Liu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and hummed.
Happiness is always temporary. Even if the waiter is reluctant to leave, the people of Liujia Village will still continue to escape from famine. A cup of tea and a bowl of soup will drink the friendship together. Even if we meet again in the future, it will not be possible to be together like this.
"Guests, will you come again in the future? If you do, come here and I'll invite you to stay!" The waiter looked at them with red eyes. Although he didn't like them at first, in the past few days, someone has helped him pick them up.
Chai, someone helped him dive, someone helped him sew clothes, and someone helped him clean up.
Every time it's meal time, someone will bring him a piece of food. No matter whether he eats it or not, there will always be a piece left for him. He hasn't met such a person in many years. Even the shopkeeper
He said that he couldn't bear it anymore and said that if they stayed for a while longer, they might want to leave with him.
He couldn't say what was special about these people. If he had to use one word to describe them, it would be humanity. The humanity that seemed to treat everyone as an equal, the humanity that was willing to give his sincerity at any time.
Xu Dashu waved his hand, and after a long while he sighed softly: "This second brother is a good man. We treated him to mushrooms, but he treated us to eggs. What a great man! I hope we can meet more of such good men.
several!"
Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, then laughed. If the waiter heard this, he would probably feel that he had paid by mistake!
From here to the capital, you have to pass through Ningcheng, Zhucheng, Xucheng, and Lucheng before arriving at the capital.
Because there is a road guide, they can take the official road directly to the next inn. Although the inn is free of charge now, the inn is still much cheaper than other inns. Now that they have money, they don’t need to
Search again.
It took about five days of non-stop walking from the border town to Ningcheng. When they left the city, they happened to meet Li Xi, the hussar camp from before. As for the other two families, it seemed that they had left early.
"Brother Liu, didn't you prepare a carriage?" Li Xi circled around the crowd and said, "Although the official road is easier to walk, there are very few restaurants around, so eating and replenishing water will be a bit troublesome. If you rely on two feet, it will be difficult to wait.
I’m afraid it’s already deep winter when you arrive in the capital!”
"I understand, but it's a pity that I'm short of money and can't afford so many carriages. You go ahead and see you in the capital if we have the chance!" Liu Xingzhi clasped his fists. The other party also meant well, but one carriage only cost dozens of taels.
, there are so many of them, hundreds of taels are enough.
Li Xi saw that he was speaking frankly and knew that he was really in trouble. He cupped his hands and said, "The mountains will remain green and the water will flow forever. Let's see you in the capital!"
Although he has money, if he gives it directly to the other party, it will probably be self-defeating. Besides, the two of them haven't gotten to know each other well enough yet, so giving money to the other party will inevitably make the other party feel insulted!
If Yun Xi knew what he was thinking, he would probably scream in his heart, just use money to insult us, at worst, we will pay you back later, thinking about having to leave for more than a month, I really have no idea.
The autumn air was crisp, and without those mountain goods, their car was half full. They added some coarse grains and dry food to fill the half of the car. As a result, there was an extra car, which Liu Xingzhi pushed directly over
, let Yunxi go up.
Yunxi did not refuse. Although there were so many old and young, it was inappropriate for a young person to go up there, but she really couldn't bear it. It had been more than a month since she crossed over, and her aunt had not come. She still thought of simply waiting.
It would be best if they came back after they stabilized, but as soon as they left the border town, the familiar feeling came over.
Maybe my body had been a bit cold before, or maybe I caught a cold in the mountains these days, but this time it was so severe that not only did my stomach hurt, but my hands and feet felt like ice cubes.
Seeing her looking pale and holding her stomach, Liu Xingzhi thought of something, quickly found a coat to put on her, and whispered: "It hurts again? Do you have brown sugar there? Do you have a hot water bottle? Do you have any medicine? Go in
Will you feel better?"
Yun Xi shook her head slightly. She could go in, but after entering, it was difficult to explain. As for painkillers, although they are available, eating them is not good for the body! But after he mentioned it, she remembered that brown sugar
