Chapter 77 Reopening

"Ten pairs of mandarin duck pillowcases should be ready before the tenth day of next month. Right?" Xu Yi said as he wrote, thinking that he would never make a mistake.

"Why can't you hear clearly? Four pairs, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year." The woman pointed out four fingers to emphasize.

Xu Yi ignored Sanqi 21 and continued writing: "Almost, almost. What else do you want?"

The woman looked at the receipt written by Xu Yi, stood up and said displeasedly: "They say you wrote it wrong, why don't you change it?"

"What to change? Don't you want ten pairs, the tenth day of the lunar month?" Xu Yi put down his brush with a puzzled look on his face.

After leaving and returning, Shui Ying looked around at the door and knew she couldn't be too reassured about Xu Yi.

What kind of devil are you doing again?

With so many customers watching, the commotion would have a bad impact on Xiuzhuang.Shui Ying walked over: "What's wrong?"

"Why are you back?" Xu Yi was startled, wincing and looking away.

He actually came back with a killing blow.

The woman was so angry that she calmed down a little and said: "My son will get married on the fourth day of the lunar month next month. Four pairs of mandarin duck pillowcases are ordered. This person must have ten pairs of pillowcases on the tenth day of the lunar month. I reminded him countless times, but he just didn't change. He has passed the tenth day of the lunar month. Now, what else do I need a pillowcase for?"

Glancing at Xu Yi lightly, Shui Ying reached for the receipt on the counter, looked at it, and then tore it into pieces without mercy.

Abat is very discerning and can keep customers away: "It's okay, let's continue chatting over there."

Shui Ying stepped forward and smiled, then grabbed Xu Yi and pushed him out.

Xu Yi was pushed to the door and hurriedly explained: "If you have something to say, please don't do anything. You really can't blame me for this. She didn't explain it clearly. You really don't blame me. Hey, hey, hey, just listen to my explanation."

Pushing the person to the door, Shui Ying raised her foot and kicked him hard.

Xu Yi fell forward and fell into pieces of mud.

Shui Ying crossed her arms and looked down at Xu Yi, saying coldly: "You are not allowed to come in. Go back to your Zhiyuntang Hall and stay there."

Touching his butt, Xu Yi jumped up: "Listen to my explanation, it's really not my fault."

He said, stepping in again.Shui Ying shot a knife through his eyes.

Xu Yi swallowed and slowly retracted his feet that were raised in the air: "Give me another chance. I will do my best and never cause any trouble. I promise, I swear, I..."

With a polite smile, Shui Ying raised her knife and warned: "Get away as far as you want!"

Xu Yi wanted to continue explaining, but he didn't dare to look at her face.He was pitiful and looked back three times with every step.

Shui Ying waved her hands in disgust, as if to shoo away flies: "Go slowly and don't send her away."

Looking at the other party's attitude, Xu Yi knew there was no room for maneuver.He sighed and walked out.

After walking out of the door of Linglong Hall, Xu Yi patted the dust on his clothes.Don't tell me, after being kicked like this, any depression will be gone.

He went home rejoicing.

No one else could point him out, so Shui Ying had to stay and help greet the guests.After finishing my work, I hurried out the door and didn't come back until evening.

The next day was reopening day.

Festive red lanterns and red silk were hung everywhere in Linglong Hall, and firecrackers were set off at the door, attracting many people to watch.

Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang, Sister Niu and others came specially to congratulate and get to know the new people who joined Linglong Hall.

Everyone is familiar with Ah Bat, and old customers from before come to visit again.Or send gifts to say hello, or buy some gadgets.

As for AhZi, we didn't know each other very well, and I thought she was a newcomer from across the street.

Today's tea snacks were all made by Ah Zi herself. Everyone praised the deliciousness and asked how they made it.

They humbly asked for advice, and Azi started a class on the spot and happily talked about things in the kitchen.

Shui Ying smiled when she saw Ah Zi getting along well with everyone: "There is nothing wrong with humans and demons living in harmony."

Lan Di came in just in time to send a message: "Ying'er, Mrs. Fang and the others are here. Will you greet them personally?"

"Yes." Shui Ying hurriedly went out to greet him.

On behalf of the prefect, Mrs. Fang came with several sisters to express her happiness with polite words.

"Please come inside. There are freshly baked refreshments. Let the ladies try them." Shui Ying welcomed the guests in.

Abi couldn't help the most, lying on the roof of the gate and yawning out of boredom.

It looked at the onlookers and wagged its tail.

Many people gathered in front of Linglong Hall.

crowd periphery.

Drug store owner Shen Wanqian, grocery store owner Zhang Baoyi, Xiuzhuang owner Meng Hesheng, and restaurant owner Qian Jindui looked at Linglong Hall from a distance.

Shen Wanqian stretched his neck and looked forward, "How many of us should go in and take a look?"

A few people nodded and went in together politely.

I had taken a look at it from afar when passing by before, but now I came in and found that it had been rebuilt exactly as before.

Even the locust tree that was bare at the time grew into lush branches and leaves, as if the disaster had never happened.

Qian Jindui is fat and wears gold rings on his hands.He held a gold-encrusted fan and waved it leisurely: "Miss Shui Ying's reputation has not diminished after not seeing her for so many days. How many people came to support her. Even the prefect's wife came forward to support her. Who in the city has such treatment?"

The three people next to them turned their heads to look at the pile of money and were speechless for a moment.They walked to the hall, where the ladies and girls were praising the delicious cakes.

Shen Wanqian noticed the unfamiliar Ah Zi and had a bad premonition: "What is the ability of the man in purple? Could it be..."

probably is……

Shen Wanqian and the other three looked at Qian Jindui tacitly, with a hint of sympathy.

Ah Zi picked up a piece of yellow cake on the table and introduced: "This is Sophora japonica cake. The newly bloomed flowers of the Sophora japonica tree in the courtyard are used. Not many flowers have bloomed yet. It is made of Scrophulariaceae, fresh grass roots, white sugar and Steam the noodles in a pot. Taste it to see if it is sweet but not greasy." After hearing this, everyone tasted a piece one after another.It's really sweet but not greasy, with the fragrance of sophora flowers.

good to eat.

"Sophora flower cake nourishes the body, strengthens the stomach, cools the blood and removes spots. It is a pastry, but it is also a medicinal food." Lan Di added tea to everyone with a smile.

"The ones I have eaten in the past are not so appetizing. Is there any secret recipe?"

"If there is no secret recipe, it all depends on craftsmanship."

As much as everyone loved cakes and Azi, Qian Jindui's expression was so ugly.

Does Linglongtang want to open a restaurant?
The lessons learned from the past are clearly visible, but none of Linglongtang’s business colleagues can overtake him.

He just felt like the sky was falling.

Ah Zi thought about it: "There is really no secret recipe, it should all depend on my skills. After all, I am a cook."

Hearing the word "cook", the pile of money lost its balance and almost fell down.Meng Hesheng and others quickly helped him, not knowing how to comfort him.

Shui Ying turned her head to see them and went out to greet them: "What are you doing standing outside? Sit inside and have some refreshments."

Qian Jindui stood firm and asked in a trembling voice: "Miss Shui Ying is looking for a cook. Are you planning to open a restaurant?"

I was originally worried about this.No need to.

Shui Ying smiled and shook her head: "Everything in the restaurant is complicated, and A'Zi alone can't handle it. He is usually busy enough cooking for us. If he takes care of things again, won't he be looking for trouble? Please, please, please. how?"

After getting the answer, Qian Jindui breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not enough to open a restaurant.

The main table was occupied by women, and a few of them had to sit at the side tables.

Lan Di brought tea: "There is still something to do at the medical center, please help yourself. I won't chat with you anymore."

"Doctor Lan, please." Meng Hesheng and others handed over and poured tea by themselves.

Ah Zi brought some plates of pastries and asked them to taste them.

No pressure, enjoy the delicious food.Even Qian Jindui, who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, was impressed when he tasted it. The simple ingredients lock in the essence.

Zhang Bao wanted to eat more after eating it: "It's really good. Master, do you really want to sell the pastries you make?"

Azi shook her head: "If you want to eat, just come and sit down. Anyone who comes is a guest, and I will treat you with courtesy."

A few people looked at each other, and most of them wanted to come and sit there every day.It's a bit shameless to say it out loud, so just keep your thoughts to yourself.

Azi greeted me in the hall.

Shui Ying had time to go to A Bat's place to help, and the girl who had learned embroidery before also came to help.

Although there were many guests, it was not a mess.It was busy until the afternoon, and the number of customers gradually decreased.

Ah Bat can handle it alone, and only the others can rest.

No matter how lively it is, it will still be deserted once the show ends.Azi saw off the guests and went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Lan Di and Qiyang were sorting out medicinal materials and receiving patients at the medical clinic.

Abi, who was on the roof, was finally willing to move, stretched out, jumped down and walked into the house.

Shui Ying was a little tired, so he sat down and poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat.Finished today, back to daily life.

You can live a peaceful life.

The sound of footsteps came and she looked up.

It turned out that Yu Feng came in with a scroll in his hand.

He walked up to Shui Ying and opened the scroll.

Water patterns appeared on the scroll, and then a figure spread out.The figure gradually became clearer and more lifelike, as if it were right in front of you.

Yu Feng said seriously: "This person brutally killed more than ten people. The Holy Emperor personally issued a decree to arrest him nationwide, regardless of life or death."

"Oh, I see." Shui Ying glanced at the portrait and responded without interest.

Yu Feng raised his eyebrows, gone?
Shui Ying thought of something and said, "Linglong Hall has just been rebuilt. The price increase of the new house is reasonable, right? Do you still live there?"

Bai Shuiying glanced at it, and Yu Feng put away the scroll: "You really dig it when you find the right opportunity. Don't worry, I can't help it anymore."

Putting her chin on her hand, Shui Ying smiled appreciatively: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and I will have a great future."

"Stop wearing a hat on me. I probably know what you are thinking. Now I am the only outsider left in Linglong Hall. Can't you try to drive me away? Of course I will help you." Yu Feng lowered his eyes and refused. Look at that face, it looks like but not like it.

"Captain Yu has a keen eye. You have figured out all my little tricks." Shui Ying smiled and peeled the peanuts on the table.

Yu Feng solemnly clasped his fists and saluted: "I've shown you the wanted notice. I have to leave first. Farewell."

He hesitated to speak, and took one last deep look at Shui Ying.Yu Feng turned around and left, passing Lan Di when he walked to the door.

Lan Di sat down at the table: "Have you told him about moving out? He doesn't look very happy."

Shui Ying poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "He has to leave sooner or later. He should be worried about the case. He came here with a wanted warrant to inform us."

"You can go to the yamen gate to see the wanted poster. Did he bring it here specially? Just to inform us?" Lan Di took a sip of tea.

Lowering her eyes thoughtfully, Shui Ying said uncertainly: "I think everyone should be informed. After all, it is a big case."

Lan Di smiled softly: "That's hard work, no wonder I can't be happy. There are so many families in Bincheng."

Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Shui Ying changed the subject: "Abat is still busy over there? It's almost time for dinner, I'll go help her."
