One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 73 The Kitchen
Mosquito nets have been nailed on the canopy bed, and even during the day, they are placed flat.

The bed was not big, but it was enough for two siblings.

There was a screen partition in the corner of the room. Yan Qingzhi walked over and pushed it away. There were two buckets, one big and one small, the big one was the bath bucket and the small one was the Gong bucket.

Seeing the tub, Yan Qingzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's not like the afterlife here. Hot water can come out at the touch of a button. If you want to take a bath, it's really not an easy task.

Although there are baths in every city, the sister and brother are in a special situation. Yan Qingzhu is young, does not know martial arts, and is not accompanied by adults. Yan Qingzhi is always afraid that if he does not pay attention, his younger brother will be kidnapped. Walk.

Her internal injuries are not yet fully healed. If she does not fight for life and death, her combat effectiveness is not too strong. If she will cause some trouble just because she takes a bath, it is not worth it!
Now it is convenient here, which makes Yan Qingzhi very satisfied.

The two put their things beside the bed, Yan Qingzhu lit the lamp and closed the curtains, then sat down on the edge of the table, spread out the pen and paper, and prepared to write and draw.

Yan Qingzhi started to make the bed after seeing that there were no lice on the bed.

Just as the two were busy with their work, Xiao Er also came back with a teapot.

As soon as Yan Qingzhi saw him, he explained that he helped to boil the bath water, and the money was recorded on the account and paid together when he left.

Xiao Er responded quickly, and instructed the two of them to register at the front counter before leaving with a smile.

After he left, Yan Qingzhi sorted out the things and asked Yan Qingzhu what he wanted to eat at night before going to the front.

The younger brother was sitting alone in the room, and Yan Qingzhi had nothing to worry about. In this small yard, there were several long-term workers in the inn alone, and she didn't go far. As long as the doors and windows were tightly closed, it was still safe.

She doesn't need to say too much about the rest, Yan Qingzhu is such an adult, she must know it.

Yan Qingzhi closed the door, looked up at the sky that had become much darker again, the dark clouds seemed to be within reach, the rain should be coming soon.

She retracted her gaze and looked towards the courtyard. The people who played chess in the grass barn had disappeared. Only the long-term workers around the barn and the warehouse were still busy. She felt a little calmer and walked along the grass corridor towards the front hall. go.

Before taking a few steps, she saw a dark blue coarse cloth door curtain hanging there. Yan Qingzhi didn't think much about it, thinking it was the back door of the front hall, stepped forward in two steps, opened it and entered it.

But then, the kind of heat wave that belongs only to the kitchen hits the face.Yan Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that she would come to the kitchen!
There's a lot of noise in there...

The messy scene in front of her made Yan Qingzhi slightly uncomfortable. Now she doesn't pay attention to food safety and hygiene, so that the state here is really far from the environment of later generations.

Her face suddenly twitched, and considering that she would order food in a while, she thought of quitting.

However, when she was stunned for a moment, one of the helpers closest to the door felt the air rushing in, and quickly put down the work in her hand and stood up. She skillfully wiped her wet hand on the apron, and walked to Yan Qingzhi in two steps.

"Why did the guest officer come to this door? It's busy here, and it will be bad if you bump into you!"

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhi's eyes didn't look around, but replied casually.

"I wanted to go to the front hall, I went the wrong way!"

The man bowed slightly and spoke quickly.

"So, then I will lead you to go..."

Yan Qingzhi originally came by an accident. Hearing someone's guidance, he didn't want to stay in the kitchen. He thanked the person and walked out.

The people who were busy talking in the kitchen turned their heads and looked over unconsciously. One of the women washing vegetables saw Yan Qingzhi's back. Although Yan Qingzhi's clothes were not expensive, they were not ordinary farmers. to wear.

The woman couldn't help showing a touch of envy, and subconsciously turned to look at her daughter who was squatting in the corner.

But at first glance, she was stunned for a moment, only to see that the corner was empty, and the girl who was sitting there honestly before was gone.

She shifted her gaze subconsciously, wanting to see if the little girl was bored, and hid around.

Because there are knives in the kitchen, she never dared to let the children run around here. She looked around in the kitchen, but didn't even see the shadow of the little girl...

Yan Qingzhi followed the helper out of the kitchen, turned around and walked a few more steps before arriving at the back door of the front hall.

There the door was open, and the curtain was only a very short section. The helper lifted it up for her, and then went back to work.

Yan Qingzhi thanked again and walked into the front hall.

There was a light rain outside, and there were not many guests in the front hall. Except for the two tables in the corner, the rest were gathered around the side near the window and watched something.

Yan Qingzhi glanced at them and found in the backs the few people he had just seen in the grass hut in the backyard, knowing that they moved the chess game to the front hall just before the rain.

Not in the mood to join in the fun, she turned her head and walked straight to the counter.

The long counter stretches from the front door to the back door, and it is full of large and small wine jars.

The old shopkeeper in his [-]s was behind the counter and was explaining something to the guy next to him. When he saw Yan Qingzhi being introduced into the door, the old shopkeeper stopped what he was doing and greeted her with a smile. come over.

Yan Qingzhi stepped forward calmly, and looked around the shopkeeper and the guy.

The shopkeeper is a bit rich and smiling, wearing a grey long gown of good fabric, a belt of the same color around his waist, and a taupe half-sleeve blouse over it. Although there are no patterns, it is clean and tidy, making it easy to see. Feel good.

The young man was not as calm as the shopkeeper's, and stared at Yan Qingzhi with a wrong gaze.

However, before Yan Qingzhi could say anything, the shopkeeper, who understood his plan, turned his head and explained a few words to the other party, and sent the person away.

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhi went straight to the opposite of the old shopkeeper. The counter was a little higher than Yan Qingzhi. Yan Qingzhi didn't want to tiptoe to talk to the old shopkeeper, so he stood back a little.

The old shopkeeper has seen more people than ordinary people. Although he was shocked and walked outside at such a young age with two children, after all, he had heard Xiao Er say it before, and now he is much calmer when he sees the real person.

"Little brother, we need to register the household registration for this accommodation, can you bring your household registration?"

Yan Qingzhi has stayed many times, and he knows the rules better. For an inn with strict inspections like this, the basic safety is guaranteed, so there is nothing to contradict it.

Moreover, the household registration status she uses now is a man, and there is no possibility of revealing her secret.

He took out the household registration and Lu Yin from his waist and handed them over with both hands, and the shopkeeper naturally stretched out his hands to take it from behind the tall counter.
