The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 63 Mo... Mo Xiaobei?

After hearing the girl's words, not only Gu Zhiyuan, but also Meng Xiaosuo, a row of black lines appeared on his forehead involuntarily - why is the atmosphere so weird?Could it be that he committed some taboo by bringing Gu Zhiyuan, a handsome boy, here?
"You are the shopkeeper, right?" Gu Zhiyuan's complexion quickly returned to normal, he walked forward and smiled faintly.

"You are?" Yun Feitian looked Gu Zhiyuan up and down, it seemed that he had never seen this person before.

Meng Xiaocom stood behind the two suspiciously, secretly guessing whether the expression on the paralyzed man's face was real or faking.Helplessly looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why, so he said out loud: "He is my friend, he happened to pass by here, so I came in to have a look."

Yun Feitian slightly nodded at Gu Zhiyuan: "In that case, please sit down."

Then he told the thirteen or fourteen year old girl, "Xin Rong, pour tea."

Just two sentences caused Meng Xiaocom to show dissatisfaction: "Why did he come with me and just 'please sit down and pour tea', and when I came alone, he just said 'it's easy to leave, there will be a date later'? Could it be that the two of you , knew each other before?"

"This son is taciturn, which suits my taste very much. You always talk too much. I am too old to listen to noisy voices." Yun Feitian wrote down the accounts carelessly, and said while writing down.

"Oh?" Meng Xiaocom raised his eyebrows, walked forward, and glanced at his thick account book, "No wonder the business here is so deserted, it must be because you are old and your ears are not good. Do it The shopkeeper, but you can't hear the noisy voice, so why are you opening a shop?"

Yun Feitian didn't answer, just kept writing, and wrote "two cups of fragrant tea, two copper coins" on the ledger.

Meng Xiaosuo raised her eyebrows even higher: "You obviously invited us to drink this tea, why do you charge for it? Could it be that you run a black shop?"

"When did I say I would invite you to drink tea?" Yun Feitian raised his head and asked back.

"You..." Meng Xiaosuo was furious, and suddenly had the urge to tear off this layer of his skin, wanting to see what kind of treacherous face was underneath.

Yun Feitian glanced at her distraught appearance, raised his pen and slowly added a "ten" after the sentence "Two cups of fragrant tea, two copper coins".

"Twenty?" Meng Xiaosuo roared angrily.

Yun Feitian nodded.

You messed with me!Meng Xiaosuo snorted, rolled her eyes, and said to Gu Zhiyuan who was beside her, "The tea here seems to be very expensive, but I don't know how the food tastes, how about... just eat here today?"

"As long as you're happy." Gu Zhiyuan said with a smile.This smile was a bit more meaningful than usual, but Meng Xiaocoma didn't notice it at all.

"Shopkeeper, what signature dishes do you have?" Meng Xiaosuo asked Yun Feitian with a smile.

"Xinrong, what else is left in the kitchen?" Yun Feitian didn't raise his head, his tone a little impatient.

"There are ten more eggs, two duck eggs, half a basket of bean sprouts, five cabbages, half a chicken, and one fish." The girl called "Xin Rong" replied loudly.

"Then sweet and sour fish, beggar's chicken, stir-fried bean sprouts, and steamed egg with lime," Meng Xiaosuo said.

"Xin Rong, can you do it?" Yun Feitian asked again.

"No." Xin Rong came out from the room holding two cups of tea.After all, she was too young and stunted, causing her steps to be a little unsteady, and she accidentally spilled some tea.

"Then don't do it." Yun Feitian said casually.

Xin Rong was taken aback for a moment, looked at Meng Xiaosuo suspiciously, then glanced at the innkeeper, wondering what the two of them meant—sister Xiaosuo and the innkeeper, aren’t they friends? Why is there a kind of... kind of...

It's a pity that she still doesn't know how to use idioms such as open gun and dark arrow and murderous spirit, so after thinking for a long time, she can't think of suitable words to describe it.

"Unfortunately, I'm in high spirits today, and I'm going to invite people from the street to eat here, and I can take care of your business." Meng Xiaosuo smiled slightly, and said to Gu Zhiyuan, "Go and tell Mrs. Wang and Uncle Huang. I want them to invite all the owners of the East Street shops to this inn. If Qiaoying Restaurant wants to gain a foothold in East Street, it must have a good relationship with the neighbors, right?"

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Gu Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, and went out.

Meng Xiaocom turned to look at Yun Feitian, curled her lips and said: "People will come in a while, you Tongfu Inn, you can't even cook a decent meal, can you?"

Not being able to cook food is a small matter, but when word got out, things changed a bit——a foreigner bought a deserted inn on South Street, and finally got a deal. It's all in front of you, just waiting to make money, but you still can't make money?

This matter is too weird.People with many eyes will inevitably have doubts.

Yun Feitian has always been cautious and absolutely unwilling to show his feet.Meng Xiaocom knew that he had such a heart, so he came up with this trick.

Yun Feitian finally looked up at Meng Xiaosuo, and when he opened his mouth, he still said to Xinrong: "Xinrong, take this money and go to the Lin's Restaurant on North Street and find a cook."

As he said that, he took out the key from his waist, opened a small locked drawer in the table, and found some loose silver taels.

"You, the shopkeeper, have no illness or pain, but you have to invite someone from another restaurant to cook. It's a strange thing to tell." Meng Xiaoshu sat at the table and said while drinking tea.

There are not many inns at the foot of Mengshan, and nine times out of ten, the business is not good, and they can barely make ends meet. How can they afford a cook?Generally, the owner of the store plays the role of a triangle, who is not only the shopkeeper, but also the waiter and chef.

"What good will it do you for me to cook myself?" Yun Feitian looked at Meng Xiaosuo.

"It's not good, I just want to try your cooking." Meng Xiaoshao twitched his lips.

"Are you not afraid that I will poison the dishes?" Yun Feitian said solemnly.

Meng Xiaocom shook his head, and said calmly, "Just try it."

"Boss, are you... still going to the Lin's restaurant to hire a cook?" Xin Rong stood aside in a daze, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

"No need." Yun Feitian put the silver into the drawer, locked it with a lock, and strode towards the kitchen.

Looking at his somewhat stiff back, Meng Xiaocoma raised her eyebrows with a smile—fighting with this bandit?Your face is paralyzed and you are still tender.

"Sister Comb, what happened to you and the shopkeeper?" Xin Rong asked.

"Why did you ask me and not him?" Meng Xiaocom asked rhetorically.

"Because whenever the shopkeeper sees you, his face will become very strange, and we don't know whether it's joy or anger. We dare not go up to talk to him." Xinrong said honestly.

"Oh?" Meng Xiaocoma raised her eyebrows, "Needless to say, of course she was angry."

Xin Rong scratched her head: "But one time, after you left, he laughed alone for a long time."

"Is there such a thing?" Meng Xiaocom frowned and recalled, only to remember that once, when he was leaving, for some reason, Yun Feitian secretly laughed for a long time.At that time, I seemed to have mocked, "Laugh if you want to laugh, and you don't feel uncomfortable if you hold it back."

Seeing that Xinrong was opening a pair of clear eyes and looking at him curiously, Meng Xiaoshu always felt a little inexplicably awkward, cleared his throat, and changed the subject: "Your name is Xinrong, right? Character?"

"Yes, of course I want to!" Xin Rong opened his eyes wide, "Sister Com, do you want to teach me how to read?"

"It's not me, it's the person who came with me just now." Meng Xiaocom said.

"He?" Xin Rong tilted his head to think for a while, then shook his head, "Xin Rong doesn't like him, Xin Rong wants to be taught by Miss Com, or the shopkeeper."

"Why?" Meng Xiaocom really didn't understand why this group of children disliked Gu Zhiyuan who had never met before, "He wants to open a private school for you so that you can all become educated people."

"Really?" Xin Rong's eyes lit up instantly, "But...but why is he so nice to us?"

"This... probably because I think you are very cute, so I like you very much." Meng Xiaocom said.

Xinrong suddenly gave a strange smile, shook his head and said, "He probably thinks you are cute, Miss Comb, and he likes you very much."

"Nonsense! This innkeeper's teaching is ineffective and has taught you all badly. It seems that you can't stay in Tongfu Inn!" Meng Xiaosuo pretended to be very serious.

Xin Rong immediately became anxious: "No, no, this is not what the shopkeeper taught us!"

"Then what did he teach you? From the name 'Tongfu Inn', you can tell that your innkeeper must be an illiterate old man, and he always has a cold face on the floor, as if no one owes you money." I paid him 80 taels of silver. Why don't I just find you another place to live." Meng Xiaocom said intentionally.

She has never understood why these children like Yun Feitian so much.Could it be that children of this age are very interested in men with facial paralysis?
"No, no, the shopkeeper is very knowledgeable and tells us stories every night. I remember he said that the reason why he named it 'Tongfu Inn' was because there was an inn he liked very much with this name. Son." Xinrong was in a hurry, and as soon as he finished speaking in one breath, he took another breath and continued, "Also, he treats us well, so he doesn't always have a straight face! He also said that I It looks a lot like a little girl, and that girl's name is... her name, by the way, Mo Xiaobei!"

"Mo... Mo Xiaobei?"

The name sounds a little familiar.

Seeing that Meng Xiaocom's expression softened a little, Xinrong thought that his persuasion had worked, and nodded quickly, "Yes, it's called Mo Xiaobei. The shopkeeper also said, Miss Comb, there is also a 'little girl' in your name." 'Character……"

"Mo Xiaobei!" Meng Xiaoshao slapped his forehead, and his voice suddenly rose an octave, interrupting Xin Rong's words, making her tremble in fright, "Isn't this just..."

Yun Feitian in the kitchen strode out with his sleeves and wet hands, showing some displeasure on his face: "What are you yelling about, do you want to go to the house and lift the roof?"

Meng Xiaocom looked him up and down strangely, her voice trembling involuntarily: "You...you like "Wulin Biography" very much?"
