The chef girl has her own system

Chapter 4 What does a copper coin look like

In view of the disparity in strength, Lian Zhi only obediently grabbed the chili noodles and put them on the table in front of the masked man.

Introduced to him: "It's not poisonous, it's just a seasoning for cooking, called chili powder."

"Chili powder?" Yuan Ling leaned on the low table and took a closer look.

Then he touched the corners of his still hot eyes, expressing his doubts.

This thing is so painful that you have to soak it in cold water to relieve it. Could it be a seasoning for cooking?As for cooking seasoning, he only knows salt.

And in this kind of remote town, there is no salt, but the stems of salty chrysanthemum are smashed and used as salt.

The masked man is more straightforward. "Since it's edible, eat one and let me see."

The corner of Lian Zhi's mouth twitched, and resignedly picked up an empty tea bowl and poured some water into it.Mix the chili powder into a chili sauce, spread it on the cabbage leaves and eat it.

After chewing it twice, Lian Zhi regretted it.

This thing is too spicy!
So under the watchful eyes of the masked man and Yuan Ling, Lian Zhi drank all the water in the teapot and ate up the half raw cabbage.You didn't understand and ran out the door, and came to the well where Yuanling drew water.

At the side window on the second floor, Yuan Ling leaned against the masked man.

Looking at Lian Zhi who was sticking out her tongue after drinking two scoops of cold water by the well water downstairs, they started chatting.

"Mingxiang, why did you bring her girl all the way here? The matter between you and me, you and I can sit down and settle it." Yuan Ling smiled.

You Mingxuan touched the facecloth on his face, snorted coldly and said: "If you had sat down earlier, why would I have chased you here?! Don't tell me these useless things, you have to go back today, If you don't go back, you have to go back!"

After Lian Zhi calmed down the hotness in her mouth and returned to the room, she found that the two men had long disappeared in the room.

She will not care about the whereabouts of the two of them.He hurriedly ate the pancakes on the table, patted his stomach and looked around.

Find the bed in the corner, and pull the quilt over comfortably.

It's getting late, hurry up and sleep.

Lian Zhi vaguely dreamed in her sleep that someone kicked her lower back, and then the world was spinning, as if being carried on her shoulders.

Later, it seemed that a black figure flew in from the window, grabbed her and threw her on the bed.

When dawn broke, Lian Zhi turned over and woke up.

"Hey, my back hurts so much."

It's just a dream, is it so real?

He rubbed his eyes and sat up.

The low table in the room was tilted aside, the tea bowl was broken, and the off-white carpet under the bed was also broken in half.

So, this house recruited thieves last night? !
Standing up abruptly: "Boy!" A feeling of dizziness hit, and Lian Zhi fell back to the bed.

There was a knock on the door from a man. "My lord, are you awake? Is the little one coming in?"

Lian Zhi massaged the position of her temples, and let the man in.

The boy was still dressed as last night, with a sweat towel on his shoulders.But today's guy obviously talked a lot more.

"My lord, do you have any discomfort?"

"Last night, I was so scared to death. Who would have thought that there would be thieves in the inn."

"You, you slept so soundly. You didn't wake up when the house was in such a commotion!"

"Thanks to that strong man, he is very skilled!"

As he chattered, his hands were not idle, and he began to tidy up the messy things in the house.

Lian Zhi watched as the boy straightened the low table, picked up the pieces and wrapped them in sweat towels, and finally hugged them together with the broken carpet.

"My lord, if you are fine, you can go downstairs and have breakfast. This room is small and needs to be cleaned."

After the young man said these words, he went downstairs on his own.

Lian Zhi tilted her head and recalled the dream last night, it wasn't a dream!Was it really kicked twice? !

According to his current dizziness, is he drugged? !

After Lian Zhi simply washed her face with the water in the copper basin and went downstairs, she saw the shopkeeper and the boy looking at her sideways.

She randomly found a low table where no one was sitting and knelt down, waiting for the boy to serve her breakfast.

Wait and wait. Wait and wait.
"My lord, the rule of our inn is that yesterday's rent must be paid on the second day of check-in." The young man bowed his head and smiled dryly.

Lian Zhi was immediately stunned. "The grandson who moved in yesterday. No, it's that son. He didn't pay the rent?!"

"What you said sounds like our inn is going to blackmail you. After the young master checked in, he asked for a bucket of bath water and two basins of cold water. He also ruined it at the well water in the courtyard. By the way, there are also those in the house Meals, tea, and water. Counting it all together, I will charge you 220 copper coins."

Lian Zhi looked down at her sackcloth clothes with several holes burned, she didn't understand what this guy meant.

This is clearly despising yourself!
Alas, copper coin, what does it look like?

Just when Lian Zhi was feeling worried, the shopkeeper came over and said in a low voice, "My lord, there are also things that were damaged in the house last night. The tea set and the carpet, I will charge you three hundred copper coins in total."

The little boy turned his head to look at his shopkeeper, and curled his lips secretly.I knew that the shopkeeper was going to be a human being.

The little girl looks penniless, isn't it clear that she wants to cheat the little girl.

"May I ask, what does the copper coin look like?" Lian Zhi looked at the shopkeeper sincerely, and saw the shopkeeper's mustache trembling up.

So he added another question: "Can you show me?"

The shopkeeper straightened his back and shouted to the back hall: "Come here, tie me up for free!"

The curtain of the back hall was raised, and two strong men walked out.One held a thick hemp rope in one hand, and the other held a broken rag.

"If you don't show it, don't show it. Why are you tying me up?! Although I can't pay you, I can work for you." Lian Zhi stared at the torn rag, stepping back. .

Guangbei Camp.

Yuan Ling was caught by You Mingxiang to draw pictures in the camp and stayed up all night.

"I'm hungry." Yuan Ling threw down the brush and stretched exaggeratedly.

Sitting across from the low table, You Mingxiang put down the book of Geography that he had read halfway through. "Did you finish the painting?"

Yuan Ling hammered his numb legs: "It's almost there." Puzzled in his heart, You Mingxiang, this evil god, sat for a whole night, why didn't his legs go numb? !

"Then eat after painting." You Mingxiang picked up the book again, and continued to read while sitting upright.

This book of geology was also written by Yuanling.

Yuan Ling heard You Mingxiang's emotionless words, and immediately lay down in a big character shape.

In the face of power, we must learn to resist.

If you don't eat, you don't work!
"Sanjin will be back in a while. If you're not interested, you can eat first. After Sanjin comes back, you can continue drawing in the camp alone." You Mingxiang said without raising her head.

As soon as Yuanling heard about Sanjin, he immediately cheered up.

Sanjin was the guard who was left by You Mingxiang at the inn to watch over the little girl last night.

If he comes back, he will definitely bring back interesting news.

Yuan Ling sat up straight, held a pen and ink, and continued to draw pictures.

On You Mingxiang's side face exposed outside the book, one can see the upward curve of the corner of the mouth.

I have been dawdling and failed to draw a good picture before, but it was completed in a short while.Yuan Ling shook the drawn picture, and said anxiously: "Mingxiang, hurry up, take it. Is Sanjin back yet? I want to go out and have a look."

You Mingxiang took the map, and looked at the building layout in the map inch by inch.

Yuan Ling opened the heavy curtain of the camp tent, and when he saw San Jin waiting at the door, he stepped forward excitedly and put his arms around his shoulders.

"Sanjin, tell me quickly, how is the little girl?"

San Jin respectfully folded his fists and bowed his head, and replied, "Young Master Reporting Ling, that girl was sold off by the innkeeper because she couldn't pay the rent and meals."

Yuanling's arm around Sanjin froze, his eyes widened. "What?! Sale?!"
