Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 267 The Shabby Rich Man (Part [-])
When Jin Xi's eyes fell on him, his eyes seemed to fall on Jin Xi, but he didn't. Jin Xi couldn't even catch where the focus of his eyes fell.This feeling is very strange, it is the first time that Jin Xi has encountered such a strange thing.

"Guest officer, please come inside." Jin Xi greeted him with a smile, trying not to look at the other side of his devilish face.

He didn't say a word, his expression seemed tense, he raised his hand, and the young man in blue hurriedly took out a crutch from the back compartment and let the man in white hold it.

The man in white held the cane with both hands. He had applied tensely before, but he let out a sigh of relief because he held the cane in his hand!

Both Jin Xi and shopkeeper Dai looked at all this in astonishment, Jin Xi suddenly realized, no wonder he couldn't catch the focus of his sight, it turned out he was blind!
On the side, the children watching all sighed and dispersed. A blind man with a grimace is really nothing to watch!

The murmurs of those people when they dispersed inevitably spread here. The boy in green and the man in white didn't feel annoyed at all, obviously they were used to such scenes.

He smiled softly, and said stiffly in the direction where Jinxi was standing: "I'm from another place. I heard that the restaurants in Changqiao Town are the largest in Mingshan Pavilion, so come here and give them a compliment! Dare I ask you girl?" Are you from here..." The man in white asked with a pleasant, gentle voice, looking sideways.

"Thank you for your support, it makes my restaurant flourish. I am the owner here, please come to the distinguished guests!" Jin Xi smiled and made a gesture of invitation towards the inside. .

The man in white nodded, and the boy in green wanted to support him, but he swung him away.

"Master, the main entrance of the restaurant is behind you, you are going in the opposite direction." The boy in Tsing Yi reminded softly.

He patted his head in embarrassment, with a bit of embarrassment on the face that was intact, Jin Xi signaled Shopkeeper Dai and Mr. Liu to go up, but he also politely declined.

"Master's kindness, I appreciate it, just go in and have a meal, I can do it!" He smiled, turned around stiffly, the crutch in his hand made a crisp clicking sound on the ground, although he walked extremely slowly, But the back is straight.The young servant in Tsing Yi followed behind him step by step, with a nervous expression on his face.

Liang Yuzhong and Acai Awang also came over, and the big guys followed and walked towards the restaurant. Mr. Liu asked for instructions, and then went to return the carriage.

Jin Xi kept her eyes on his steps, trying to get some clues from them.

From the place where the carriage stopped to the main entrance of the restaurant, it was only about fifty steps, the man in white walking was bumpy, and he went astray after a while.It can be seen that people's hearts are tugging and tugging.There are still three steps in front, and the young man in Tsing Yi wants to go up to help him, but he is swung away again.

"I have a cane in my hand, and if I just go to a restaurant to have a meal, how can I be treated as a useless person? You go, let people see that I am a useless person!" He lowered his voice and scolded the boy, with a gentle voice. Annoyed meaning.

"Master, there is a hurdle two steps ahead of you..." The boy in Tsing Yi's reminder hadn't finished yet, only a thud was heard, the man in white kicked the sill and fell to the ground in embarrassment, and the children outside had not had time to disperse , burst out laughing.

The boy in green turned his head and glared at the laughing children angrily, then turned around and hurried over to help the man in white who fell to the ground and couldn't get up.Liang Yuzhong and Shopkeeper Dai made a gesture to push him away, while Jin Xi quickly stepped forward, picked up the walking stick he had dropped aside, and handed it to the boy in blue.

"Thank you, Ma'am." The young man in green took the crutches and handed them back to the man in white. The white robe on the man's body was already stained with dust. He smiled embarrassedly, and said lightly, "I made my master laugh."

"It's okay, please come inside." Jin Xi said.

Taking his situation into consideration, Jin Xi asked them if they needed a separate private room, but the man in white declined.

"It's in the lobby. I like to listen to people singing songs while eating. It's interesting!" As soon as he sat down, he turned around with a stiff neck. There was a dark hole in his beautiful phoenix eyes, but it didn't affect him good mood.Jin Xi exchanged a few pleasantries, and retreated to a private room in the back hall for rest.

The waiter came over with a gold-plated menu and asked them to order. Soon, the waiter followed Jinxi's instructions and sent the menu ordered by the man in white to the private room behind, asking Jinxi to have a look.

Shopkeeper Dai was drinking tea with Liang Yuzhong, and was still lamenting the disability of the man in white.Seeing the waiter bring the menu, shopkeeper Dai said: "Although that man has a disability, his clothes reveal the air of wealth and dignity in every way, and he looks pampered. Ninety percent of the dishes he ordered are the treasures of our restaurant. Hehe, this meal is almost profitable, can it be compared to the usual profit of three or four tables?"

Jin Xi skimmed the names of the dishes he wanted on the paper one by one, frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Dai, you really missed your mark this time." After finishing speaking, he handed the menu to Shopkeeper Dai In front of him, Shopkeeper Dai took a look and was also surprised.

"Oh, it's true that the richer you are, the more stingy you are. You just ordered two dishes and one soup while sitting in such a nice carriage?" Shopkeeper Dai was surprised.

"Let's not talk about the shopkeeper, just these two stir-fried vegetables and a soup with sliced ​​vegetables and meat. He also told me to mark it at the back of the list, let's put more vegetables and less meat. I told him, two more slices The price of two pieces less is fixed. A big restaurant like ours, naturally, a big restaurant like ours will not do those nasty things, so let him just rest assured. He just told me, let the back chef Put two more pieces of meat in it!" The waiter on the side couldn't help interjecting, usually people who come to Mingshan Pavilion to eat are from families with a little wealth in the town, and Mingshan Pavilion is a big restaurant, mainly The main business is to host various banquets and parties, which is different from the roadside stalls and small restaurants outside!
"Perhaps he is the young master of a rich family. Let's go out and experience the special flavor of a small place. The ingredients in the two stir-fries have two flavors, which is the characteristic of our Wanghai area." Jin Xi smiled lightly.

"The boss is right. I heard that the young master of the richest family was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. That kind of dandyism is bizarre. No one in our small place has ever heard of it..."

Shopkeeper Dai slammed his mouth and said, this is the first time he has met such a customer.

It was also the first time for Liang Yuzhong to meet such a customer, but, having said that, everyone has their own choices and preferences, how can we force it?So, he just laughed and said nothing.

Jin Xi stood up with a pensive face. Through the peephole behind a painting on the wall of the private room, she could see the movement in the entire lobby outside. Her eyes locked on the man in white.

The man in white is sitting there leisurely drinking tea, listening to the father and daughter playing the erhu on the high platform, babbling and singing local opera, and gently tapping with his slender and delicate fingers on the edge of the table. look.

As for the young boy in Tsing Yi who was sitting beside him, he had a bitter face and a look of embarrassment.

Jin Xi preliminarily deduced from the accent of the man in white clothes and the fact that the staple food when he ordered was green onion pancakes instead of white rice, that this man should be from the north.Wen Ding's eating habits and tastes are typical southerners' tastes. If they are so diametrically opposed, how likely is it that this man in white is an enemy of Brother Wen?
Soon, the two dishes and one soup that the white-clothed man asked for came out. Jin Xi continued to observe his eating movements from the cat's eyes. Basically, the young man in green clothes put them into the bowl for him, and he spooned them one by one. I scooped it up and put it in my mouth, almost touching my nose twice.

If someone has been blind for a long time, he should have been used to this way of eating, and he probably won't touch his nose, at most, he will have two mistakes when he is distracted.

If he is pretending to be blind, then he is unlikely to touch his nose.Jin Xi bit her lower lip. To be honest, she felt that her deduction ability, which was very reliable before, was a bit inaccurate when applied to this white-clothed man this time.

What is the background of this person?Coming to Changqiao Town, is it really related to Brother Wen?Jin Xi couldn't figure it out, so she didn't bother to think about it. Brother Wen didn't let her go into the muddy water, and she didn't feel that she had the ability or need to go there. Right now, taking care of the Mingshan Pavilion is the most powerful thing for Brother Wen. help?Because no matter when and where, a steady stream of money supply is the basis for a successful career in this world!

After sitting for a while, Jin Xi got up and said goodbye to Shopkeeper Dai. Before leaving, Jin Xi had to call Shopkeeper Dai to him, and told him: "If someone asks you recently when Mingshan Pavilion changed hands and the whereabouts of Wendong's family, Do you remember how to answer?"

Shopkeeper Dai cupped his hands and said, "The owner changed two months ago, and we don't know where the former owner is going!"

Jin Xi nodded with a smile, shopkeeper Dai is a smart person, that's fine.Jin Xi stepped out of the private room and walked towards the main entrance of Mingshan Pavilion. When she passed the lobby, she couldn't help but glance at the tables near the stage over there.

The man in white was being served by a boy in green, drinking soup from a spoon, his dark and empty eyes seemed to look directly at Jin Xi over the tables in front of him.

Jin Xi was stunned for a moment, and stopped abruptly, could it be her own illusion?The man's eyes clearly met hers in the air before, but when he looked again, they were empty and unfocused.

During this time, Mrs. Tan was in a state of blindness, drinking medicine every day, and old doctor Wang went down to the village every three days to give her an injection.Jin Xi often goes to visit Mrs. Tan in the old house, and she can see the way to the blind eyes. The eyes of the man in white clothes in front of her are clearly blind?

"Xi'er, why don't you move?" Liang Yuzhong asked in surprise, Jin Xi came back to her senses, smiled, and walked out of Mingshan Pavilion.
