Chapter 233 I’m going to Miss Ding’s house tonight.
Needless to say, the guests at this table were completely impressed by the two dishes of "Dongpo Pork" and "Pheasant Mushroom", not to mention the spicy cabbage that goes well with rice!
Soon, the guests paid their bills and left with satisfaction, and the restaurant returned to calm.
After all, it is a restaurant that is about to close down. It is rare for diners to stop at the door of the restaurant. It seems that getting the business back on track does not happen overnight.
After Shen Yuyu and the others left, Zhao Ke leaned at the door to collect customers. Suddenly he saw a group of at least forty or fifty people rushing towards this direction. The leader was the boss who had just checked out.
"Shopkeeper, arrange ten tables, I'll treat you." The middle-aged boss said hello to Zhao Ke with a shy face and picking his teeth.
"Okay, guests, please come in and make arrangements immediately." Zhao Ke hurriedly invited the guests into the restaurant and made arrangements happily.
After tasting some food in the restaurant, Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun took Ah Feng out of Zuixian Tower and went to the Yamen.
When she came to the county, Shen Yuyu brought two pieces of bacon and a basket of apples to give to shopkeeper Bai. Since he was called master, he had to give something to express his feelings.
It was also a coincidence that I met shopkeeper Bai as soon as I arrived.
Shen Yuyu handed the things to shopkeeper Bai, and shopkeeper Bai refused for a long time before accepting them.
Shopkeeper Bai didn't wait for Shen Yuyu to ask, so he explained the situation of the 'human flesh' case last night, saying that the county magistrate had sent people to the next town to catch the man selling the meat, and he would be brought back soon.
Although Shen Yuyu is very concerned about this case, she is just a civilian, so how can she get involved? She told Shopkeeper Bai to go to Shenjiacun to notify her if necessary.
After finishing all these things and preparing to go back, Shen Yuyu got on the oxcart and suddenly asked Ji Xun: "Didn't you say you came to the county for something? What's the matter?'
"Go to the clothing store." Ji Xun said, driving the ox cart to a stop outside the clothing store.
"Let's go in together." Ji Xun got out of the car, took Ji Feng out of the car, and called to Shen Yuyu.
Shen Yuyu was a little cold, sitting on the bullock cart without moving, "You go ahead, I don't need to buy anything here." She said this in a very unfamiliar way, as if she and Brother Ji Xun were strangers.
Ji Xun's eyes darkened for a moment, and he led Ji Feng into the shop. Not long after, he came out with a large bag of clothes, carried Ji Feng into an ox cart, and then drove out of the city.
As soon as Ji Feng got in the car, he happily opened his bag and took out a light green cloak trimmed with fox fur. "Sister-in-law, my brother bought this for you. Put it on quickly, it will stop the cold."
Shen Yuyu took a look and saw that the fur on the cloak was real fox fur, and the fabric was also made of high-quality satin, which looked not cheap at first glance.
He said hurriedly: "Ah Feng, put it away quickly. Your brother must give this cloak to Miss Ding. If it gets dirty, it will be troublesome."
Ji Xun, who was driving the car, was heartbroken for a while. He really carefully selected this cloak for Shen Yuxi, but he opened his mouth and didn't know how to explain it.
Ji Feng pouted: "No, my brother must have bought it for my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, you put it on, it's cold."
Shen Yuyu folded it decisively and put it into the baggage.
"Ah Feng, don't be stupid. This is silk and satin. How can someone like my sister-in-law, who does rough work, wear such a delicate cloak? Only a lady like Miss Ding is suitable for such a delicate material."
Ji Xun felt uncomfortable after hearing this from the front. He and Ding Xiaolian were innocent. Whether they were repairing the piano or keeping vigil last night, they were all doing it to make money. He never expected that it would cause Shen Yuyu to have such a misunderstanding.
Moreover, he seemed unable to explain this misunderstanding. Of course, he didn't know how to explain it. His previous identity could only be explained by others in front of him, so why explain anything to others?
After hearing what Shen Yuyu said, even Ji Feng concluded that the cloak Ji Xun spent one tael of silver to buy was for Ding Xiaolian, and angrily said to Ji Xun: "Brother, A Feng is so disappointed in you. ,snort.'
Ji Xun drove the bullock cart feeling depressed, but he had been closed off for too long, like a cocoon wrapping himself up in layers, and he had no idea how to reveal his heart to others.
He decided not to explain anymore and wrapped himself tightly again.
After returning to the village, the ox cart stopped directly at Aunt Zhou's house. After saying a few words to Aunt Zhou Shen Xingwang, the two of them walked home carrying their luggage.
They didn't go far when they saw Hong Luan coming over with Ding Xiaolian on his arm. Ding Xiaolian looked pale and sickly, staring pitifully at Ji Xun.
"Brother Ji Xun." She trembled slightly when she said this, her eyes were filled with tears, and the pear blossoms with rain made people pity her.
"What's the matter?" Ji Xun asked calmly.
Ding Xiaolian had never offended him after all, and had provided him with opportunities to make money many times. He couldn't do it just because Shen Yuyu didn't like it, so he stopped.
Seeing this, Shen Yuyu twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered, and started flirting in front of her~~ She was really not in the mood to watch anymore, so she led Ji Feng and walked away quickly.
Ji Xun couldn't help but feel depressed as he looked at Shen Yuyu's hurried away figure. He felt uncomfortable because she misunderstood him. He was silent and looked at Ding Xiaolian: "Is something okay, Miss Ding?"
To be honest, his impression of Ding Xiaolian can't be said to be favorable, but it's not bad either.
The ladies who came to Lingzhou City to recuperate did not dislike the poor but loved the rich, and did not put their eyes on the top. They were kind and courteous to the villagers and to him, an ugly and lame hunter, which was rare.
"Brother Ji Xun, I'm so scared." Ding Xiaolian lowered his eyebrows, looking like he was about to cry.
Hong Luan hurriedly explained: "My lady originally wanted to go to Mr. Ji's house to get the piano. Unexpectedly, I heard someone at the wellhead saying that our house is a haunted house. This scared the lady."
Ji Xun fell silent. An ordinary person would be afraid, let alone a lady from the city.
"Mr. Ji, can you continue to keep vigil for my young lady tonight? My young lady is in poor health and came to the village to recuperate. If she is frightened again, I am afraid her illness will become more serious." Hong Luan begged pitifully.
Ji Xun was silent, nodded and said, "Okay."
Ding Xiaolian raised her red eyes and said delicately: "That's still three taels of silver a night, and I'll keep watch for six nights in a row, how about that?"
Ji Xun hesitated for a moment, but when he thought that he could earn eighteen taels of silver in six nights, which was an amount that he could not earn even in a year of hunting, he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, but I can only stay outside the house.'
Before Ji Xun finished speaking, Hongluan knelt down.
"Mr. Ji, please go into the courtyard and keep watch! My lady stayed up all night last night because she was afraid. As long as you stay in the yard outside my lady's house, she won't be scared anymore."
"Okay." Ji Xun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After all, the murder took place inside the hospital. It was true that he could not eliminate the fear of the people inside by standing outside the hospital, so he agreed.
"I'll go back and have dinner before coming back," Ji Xun said.
"Okay." Ding Xiaolian nodded, "But brother Ji Xun, you must come here before dark, please!"
"Yeah." Ji Xun agreed and went home.
After returning home, Shen Yuyu had already prepared the meal. At Ji Feng's request, he made fresh meat soup, using the spring water in the space. The soup was extremely sweet. Ji Feng drank the soup and praised Shen Yuyu as the god of food. .
Ji Xun fiddled with the grains of rice and held it in for a long time before hesitatingly speaking.
"Yu Yu, um, I'm going to Miss Ding's house tonight. "Go! This is your freedom, you don't need to report to me!"
Ji Xun: Why did he open his mouth? It would be better not to say anything.
