Chapter 182 Rivals in Love
Yuan Jie looked down at the hands of the two holding each other, his heart couldn't help fluctuating, and there was a suppressed joy in his eyes.But subconsciously, and afraid of getting in the way of his brother's eyes, he quietly glanced back at Yuanzhen.
Yuan Zhen naturally saw it, but immediately looked away, pretending not to see it.
Yuan Jie originally wanted to withdraw his hand, but he unconsciously became selfish, greedy for this moment, so he also let Tian Mi lead him.
"What are you doing? Look, it's so lively!" Tian Mi felt that he came back to the town for the first time today, and she was very eager to let him see this bustling world, so she was even more excited than him.Seeing that he was in a trance, he couldn't help but tugged his hand again to remind him. "You won't get dizzy in the car, will you?"
Yuan Jie immediately came back to his senses, "No, I'm watching."
"Hmm! Look, there are fruits and vegetables here, more than in Xiaohui, right? The ones selling snacks and gadgets in front are fun! Look over there again..." Tian Mi introduced excitedly .
It was indeed the first time for Yuan Jie to see such a bustling scene, and when he looked up, he was amazed.
This street is very wide, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder, full of shouting and shouting from time to time.There are small stalls on both sides of the road, and there are all kinds of goods, dazzling and varied.
There are sweet and sour candied haws, colorful gadgets, rouge gouache and small pendants for girls, all kinds of small noodles, and red paper lanterns!
Not only are there hawkers, but there are also shops side by side on both sides of the road, there are pawnshops, cloth shops, medical clinics... There are also taverns, where there is always a tangy fragrance that entices people's taste buds.
Rao is such a calm person in Yuanjie, seeing this lively scene that can only be seen in the storybook for the first time, is also joyful and full of excitement.
This is the breath of life.It's not like being in a country, in a room, surrounded by silence, that kind of feeling is so lonely that there is no interest in life.
In Yuan Jie's eyes, Tian Mi saw a light that was hard to hide, it was a desire to survive.She knew that he was moved.He is not the kind of person who can be confined to a remote mountain village in the countryside. This kind of lively and prosperous world belongs to him.
"Young man, please express your feelings." Tian Mi smiled and touched Yuan Jie with her arm.
Yuan Jie glanced at her, and then said, "It's a bit noisy."
Tian Mi was displeased, "You really like it so much, you still pretend. Cut it!" Why is this child like this now?
"I like it, but I haven't seen so many people, so I'm not used to it."
"Get used to this thing, it's cultivated. You'll get used to it after a few more visits." Tian Mi said, she was attracted by the cosmetics accessories stand on a small stall, and went to have a look.
Yuan Jie stopped, still looking around quietly.
"Yuan Jie, are you tired? If you are tired, you can sit in the car and you can still watch." Yuan Zhen was worried that he would be tired from being quarreled by so many people, so he stepped forward to persuade him.
Yuan Jie shook his head, "No, brother, sitting all the way, walking is good."
"Then, you should pay more attention. There are many carriages on the road, so don't bump into them."
"Understood, brother, I'm not a child." Yuan Jie said, thinking that Tian Mi said just now that he should not lose it, she couldn't help being a little ashamed, she was really...
Although the town is much more upscale, and the dignitaries are ordinary people, but after all, the leader of the Yuan Jie is quite outstanding, and standing with Yuan Zhen, the two brothers are both handsome and outstanding, which is even more noticeable.
When many young women pass by, they will take an extra look.
Tian Mi focused on admiring the objects without knowing it. Suddenly, she saw a small round bronze mirror, thinking that she hadn't taken a good picture of her clothes, so she picked it up and started to take pictures.
She didn't even know that her face was already so good-looking, with fair skin, delicate features, and collagen all over her face, she was completely different from when she first came here.Coupled with this new dress, she has a graceful figure, which can be said to be a fair lady!
"Daughter-in-law, you look good in this dress, especially good-looking." Yuan Zhen praised her when she put on the new clothes in the morning, and now, he couldn't help but cooperate with her. "Daughter-in-law, buy a mirror and take a good picture at home."
Tian Mi has exactly this intention, there is no girl who does not love beauty, she still wants to admire herself.
"Boss, how much is it?"
"This mirror is expensive, eighty Wen." The peddler said.
Tian Mi was worried, a mirror is so expensive?Looked at it reluctantly, and told the peddler unwillingly, "Look, you are just an ordinary mirror, the surrounding is smooth, there are no patterns, and the workmanship is so poor, how about it, forty coins, you If you want to sell it, you can sell it, if you don’t sell it, you will be knocked down, anyway, you can live with or without a mirror.”
Unexpectedly, when she said this, the peddler became upset, his expression changed, and he said: "I sell luxury goods here, and those who don't have good clothes can live in shabby clothes."
Tian Mi thought she could successfully bargain again, and didn't want to meet someone who was wrong, so she immediately turned her head angrily, "Hey, how do you do business? With your attitude, you can make money?"
"I've been here for seven or eight years. I've seen a bargainer, but I've never seen you so careless."
"Who do you say is not particular?" Tian Mi was furious. When she came here, she was almost unstoppable all the way, winning consecutive games, but she didn't expect to be tripped by a peddler.
The peddler smiled, glanced at Yuan Zhen, and said, "Little madam, you look good, and your husband is handsome, why don't you pursue life at all. If you want to live a comfortable life, you need to spend more money."
Although Tian Mi was very annoyed, it made sense to think about what the hawker said.Earning money is spent. Isn't it worth spending a little money to dress yourself up and make your life better?The point is, the other party also praised her for looking good.
Immediately, the anger dissipated.
"That can't be as much as you say, so let's do it, fifty cents. If you can't do it, it's really fine." She can't just be cheated of money just to dress up and live, that's brainless.
"Sixty Wen, do you want love or not." The peddler also has a temper.
Tian Mi rolled his eyes at him, turned around and pulled Yuan Zhen away.
Yuan Jieyuan was standing behind her, so he followed her and turned around.
Unexpectedly, suddenly, something was stuffed into his arms.Yuan Jie was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to see that it was a blushing little girl who looked at him, and immediately ran away covering her mouth.
Tian Mi was also dumbfounded.
Yuan Jie didn't realize it for a long time, and opened his palm in confusion. It turned out to be a handkerchief. When he unfolded it, he saw a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it and the word "bell" embroidered on it.
Only then did Yuan Jie understand it all at once, and suddenly embarrassment came along with embarrassment.He never thought that there would be such a bold woman who would give him something like "promise" on the street.It's really too much!
Looking back, the delicate girl didn't go far away, she was still looking at him affectionately at the side of the road, as if waiting for his response.
Tian Mi didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yuan Jie has a strong temper, so he wanted to throw away the handkerchief on the spot, but Yuan Zhen snatched it, then strode up to the girl, and said to people: "Miss Zhong, my brother is married, you It's disrespectful to do that."
"I..." Qingxiu looked disappointed.
Yuan Zhen strode back, patted Yuan Jie, "Let's go."
A small accident suddenly happened among the three of them, making it very unpleasant.
Tian Mi was also embarrassed to talk too much, feeling weird, Yuan Jie frowned even more, his face was still flushed with anger, he hung his head and refused to look up, for fear that something embarrassing would happen again.
Seeing that the good atmosphere was destroyed, Yuanzhen looked around, and had to find a topic to ease, "Daughter-in-law, why didn't you buy that mirror just now? There are sixty coins, mother gave me the money."
"What's the rush? You're eligible to spend money if you make money from buying things." After Tian Mi finished speaking, she looked ahead. It was not far from the Yipin Pavilion restaurant. It was the busiest crossroad after walking there. The lot is.Today, she must succeed!
Only by spending money on your own ability can you have a sense of accomplishment.
So, she couldn't wait to walk forward, and she was no longer interested in left and right.
Yuan Jie didn't have the heart to look at the dazzling market anymore, and glanced at Tian Mi from the end of his eyes from time to time, always feeling that she was angry because she kept ignoring him.
What... does this have to do with him?Rushed by a strange woman, he was so disgusted, she ignored him... Wasn't it intentional to make him feel more uncomfortable?
But... If she is angry, why?Could it be because I like him a little bit?That is, are you jealous?
Thinking of this, I became more and more flustered and distracted.
However, such complicated emotions didn't last long, they came to a gorgeous restaurant, Yuan Jie looked up, and saw a plaque written on it: Yipinxiang.
"Here! Yuanzhen, today's battle has begun!" Tian Mi looked at Yuanzhen happily and nervously, "Do you think we can succeed?"
Yuanzhen gently held her hand, "The Baihua crisps made by my wife are incomparable, more delicious than any other dim sum. If this boss is picky again, it will be his loss."
Speaking of Tian Mi's heart, she smiled sweetly, and the tension on her face eased a lot, "You are the only one who can coax me."
Only then did Yuan Jie know that they had come to the restaurant that Tian Mi mentioned last time, and seeing the excited and expectant eyes on Tian Mi's face, he finally knew what kind of anger Tian Mi was with him just now, she didn't care at all. Keeping his affairs in mind, only thinking about making money... It seems that he is still worrying too much.
Bowing his head, he laughed lowly at himself.
"Yuan Jie, let's go, let's go in." Tian Mi finally took care of him, turned around and waved to him, then hurried into the restaurant.
At this time, it was not lunch time, there were only two tables of guests in the lobby of the restaurant, Xiao Liu was delivering the dishes and turned around, and saw a few familiar people at a glance.
Today, Tian Mi's clothes are a bit more showy, and she is also energetic, which makes people dare not look down upon her.Especially this little Liuer, I heard that his tongue is still hanging on Tian Mi's place. He is looking forward to Tian Mi's return, but he is also afraid of her return. If he can follow the light, if he doesn't want to, he won't be able to keep his tongue.
"Hey, girl! You're here!" Xiao Liu greeted them with a smile, and sized them up. He recognized Yuan Zhen behind him, and after that, he saw Yuan Jie who was facing him again, but he took a look, and it was the same. Surprised, this young master is so handsome, he has had countless guests, and he has never seen anyone comparable to him, today, he really did.
Can't help looking at Tian Mi curiously, how come this girl is more delicate than last time.
"Xiao Liu, I'm here to deliver cakes today, is your boss here?" Tian Mi asked politely.
"Girl, our young master is not always in the restaurant, but I can inform you when you come, and you can just wait here." This time, Xiao Liu was also very polite.
Tian Mi nodded, "Okay."
"Who is it!" Suddenly there was a questioning voice, and they came down the stairs. Several people looked up and saw that it was shopkeeper Liu. Xiao Liu immediately greeted him, nodded and bowed and said, "Shopkeeper, the girl who delivered the hundred flower cakes came again last time." gone."
Shopkeeper Liu snorted, looked at them, and said to Xiao Liu, "Go and report to the young master."
At this time, a man suddenly appeared from the back kitchen, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liu, we are wasting time by coming and going. Seeing that we should be busy, why don't I send the snacks to the young master for tasting, isn't it better?" Is it easy?"
Shopkeeper Liu glanced at him and nodded, "Okay, Sun Zhi, then you can go."
When Tian Mi saw Sun Zhi, she felt uncomfortable. Last time when she came back for the first time, Xiao Liu originally wanted to help her, but this Sun Zhi kicked her out of the house without any explanation, with a bad attitude, but this time, unexpectedly Actively helping her run errands, is it because she is afraid that her cake will be selected, so she won't be able to curry favor with her first?
So, Sun Zhi walked up to Yuanzhen and stretched out his hand.
Yuan Zhen glanced at Tian Mi, and Tian Mi went over, carefully took out a bag, and handed it to Sun Zhi, "I'm sorry."
That Sun Zhi glanced at her, ignored her, walked up to shopkeeper Liu, and said, "Treasurer Liu, then I'll go."
"Yes." Shopkeeper Liu responded, and Sun Zhi hurriedly went to the back door of the restaurant and left.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at Tian Mi and the others, and said with a faint smile, "Sit down, Xiao Liu, and pour tea."
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Tian Mi said politely, then exchanged glances with Yuan Zhen and Yuan Jie, and sat down at the nearest seat.
Xiao Liu was also very active in pouring tea for them, saying, "Girl, are the cakes you made this time better than last time?"
"I feel good about myself, I hope your boss will be satisfied." Tian Mi smiled.
Xiao Liu's face turned bitter, "Oh, God bless you, now the girl and I are also grasshoppers on the same rope, I hope the girl is well, otherwise, I won't be able to eat and walk around."
Tian Mi laughed, "I have confidence."
"That's good, that's good." After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
Tian Mi suddenly called him, "Hey, Xiao Liu, that guy named Sun Zhi...why is he so active? Last time, he hated me very much."
Xiao Liu curled his lips, hesitant to speak.
Tian Mi rolled her eyes, "He can't be a cook, can he?"
Xiao Liu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, he also made the dim sum in our restaurant, so..."
Tian Mi couldn't help frowning, this is a colleague.
After Xiao Liu left, Yuan Zhen said: "Daughter-in-law, I see that Sun Zhi is not at ease."
Tian Mi said sadly: "We came here to deliver Baihua crisps because we want to steal his job. It's no wonder he is kind enough to help."
"Daughter-in-law, what if he changes our cake?" Yuan Zhen asked anxiously.
Tian Mi was silent for a while, then said: "Wait and see." Let's see what tricks he plays.
Yuan Zhen frowned, anxious.
Yuan Jie just listened quietly, then turned to see Tian Mi worried, and quietly patted her under the table, Tian Mi looked at him, and he only nodded to express his encouragement and comfort.
"En." Tian Mi was perfunctory, and lowered her head to take a sip of tea.
This feeling is like handing in a resume and waiting for an interview before. I am nervous and have the illusion that I will definitely be killed.
In the tense atmosphere, after a while, Sun Zhi came back. After returning, he ignored them, but went to shopkeeper Liu and said, "Young master said, let them go."
Tian Mi and the others stood up awkwardly. Yuan Zhen was afraid that Tian Mi would be sad, so he hurried forward and asked, "Please tell me clearly, what's wrong with our dim sum?"
Sun Zhi looked at Yuanzhen with a look of contempt on his face, "Master, just say a word, such a rough food, how can it be worthy of our first-class incense. Hmph, why, are you not convinced? Do you think that the dim sum you make is the best in the world? Don't dream, Hurry up, don't block our business!"
After listening to Sun Zhi's words, Shopkeeper Liu believed it to be true, and changed his attitude towards Tian Mi, "Since the young master does not accept your goods, please go back." In his eyes, he still wanted to have a solid cook to check and balance Sun Zhi, who knew he was a waste.
"The shopkeeper!" Tian Mi took a step forward instead of retreating, and stared at the shopkeeper seriously, "This little brother is not clear, so I can't believe it. Whether my pancakes are good or not, I don't brag about it myself, you can Try it yourself, I don't believe your young master, so I just sent me away like this."
This is the product she has been preparing for so many days. She made it with full of hope. All her wealth is here, the hope of the whole village!Killed by this person's words?She refuses to accept it!
"Hey, what do you mean by that? What kind of vision does our young master have for seeing what you make?" Sun Zhi argued anxiously, "I tell you, don't jump over the wall if you are not selected. If you quarrel with our young master, then you can I can't bear it!"
Tian Mi ignored him, just looked at Shopkeeper Liu, "Shopkeeper, give me a chance to try it yourself."
At this time, Xiao Liu, who had been watching quietly, also stepped forward to persuade: "Shopkeeper, you can try it." He also wanted to fight for a way out for himself.
"But since the young master has already made up his mind, I have no other choice. Let's go." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed softly.
The anger in Tian Mi's heart rose layer by layer, and her eyes turned red with anger. Could it be that Sun Zhi made all her achievements come to naught? !
Seeing this, Yuan Zhen was extremely angry, "Shopkeeper, can't you see it? This Sun Zhi has ulterior motives. He must have done something to make your boss not choose our house."
"Hey, don't spitting blood, be careful and I will tell someone to beat you!" Sun Zhi jumped over the wall anxiously, "If you don't taste good, you will turn your face, come on!"
Tian Mi frowned, such a big restaurant, such an out-of-this-world son, why would such a vulgar person be the cook? !
"Okay, you guys are being unreasonable and deceiving people too much. Today, I will put the pendulum in front of you and let the passing guests taste it. Is your dim sum delicious or mine!" Tian Mi made up her mind to fight this restaurant to the end!
After all, who knows if that weird young master deliberately made things difficult for her!
"How dare you!" Sun Zhi said first.
"Girl!" The shopkeeper's second voice sounded, and the shopkeeper seemed a little embarrassed, "Girl, you must not do this, otherwise, you will annoy the young master."
"It seems that your son deliberately teased me?" Tian Mi's heart turned cold.
Shopkeeper Liu was silent, and he didn't know why.Said that although Sun Zhi said that his character was a little bit bad, he should not dare to lie to the young master, it must be that the young master really did not match.
"Maybe, it's because the girl's craftsmanship doesn't suit the young master's taste. Why don't you try it at another house." The shopkeeper is already very tolerant.
Tian Mi feels disheartened now, she never thought that this time, she will not even be able to see the young master, she has a mouth all over her body, and she can't speak clearly, no matter how hard she tries, she won't be able to use it.Or, it was because she herself took this matter too seriously, and that poisonous young man didn't take it to heart at all.
So frustrating.
Turning around, strode out of the door of the restaurant.
Walking on the streets of the small town, I feel confused, lost, and sad.
It was still very lively next to her, but her mind went blank and she couldn't hear anything.
Let her watch him taste her cakes in front of the young master, and hear him say that she can't do it with her own ears. She also gives up and admits defeat, but what else can she do if he doesn't see her face at all?
Maybe I hoped too much, so now I am disappointed and sad.
"Daughter-in-law, if you can't do it, you can't do it. Let's set up a stall to sell it like last time. This time we will definitely make more money than last time." Yuan Zhen hugged her shoulders, comforting her distressedly.
Is it different?What she needs is approval.Especially the approval of that picky ghost.Last time, she said that her Baihua crisp was useless. Today, she wants to stand up and make him admit his mistake to her. It's a pity... Now it has become a joke.
Seeing Tian Mi's pale face, Yuan Jie felt very distressed, but he didn't say anything, just frowned, thinking secretly.
The three of them walked aimlessly like this. After walking for a while, Yuan Zhen saw that Tian Mi was not in good condition, so he turned around and found a small noodle shop, and said to her: "I'm tired all the way, daughter-in-law, let's go first." Let's eat and rest for a while."
Tian Mi knew that no matter how sad she was, she couldn't stop eating and drinking, and she was indeed very tired, so she nodded.
Yuan Jie kept looking at her worriedly.
Tian Mi sat down in the noodle restaurant with her head down. Yuan Zhen ordered three bowls of beef noodles and coaxed Tian Mi, "Daughter-in-law, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Go set up a stall to sell it, and watch me top off their Yipinxiang signboard, make them jealous, and vent their anger on their daughter-in-law!"
After Tian Mi heard this, she couldn't be happy at all, instead she felt depressed, frowned and said nothing.
Yuan Zhen didn't dare to talk too much.
So, the three of them ate noodles sullenly.
But everyone was in a bad mood, and Yuan Jie only ate a little, and stopped eating. He sat at the table, paused, and said, "Brother, I'll go out for the convenience."
Yuan Zhen looked at him, then at Tian Mi, "Let me accompany you, you are not familiar."
"It's okay, I can't lose it." After Yuan Jie said, he turned around and left the noodle shop.
When he got outside, his family's donkey cart was tied outside the door, Yuan Jie went into the cart without making a sound, and took out a pack of Baihua crisps.
Then he turned around and walked towards Yipinxiang Restaurant behind him.
Tian Mi has been preparing for so long, just waiting for today's success. It's not just about money. This kind of frustration will make her heartbroken and hard to let go.He can't bear to see it.However, he knew that it was useless to coax her, comfort her and encourage her, because she didn't really lose, but was too aggrieved!
He stood at the door of this Pinxiang restaurant again, looked up, and looked at the plaque. Suddenly, he had a strange illusion. He felt that maybe what he did was not necessarily right, but he couldn't go back on his word. Because now he just wants to see Tian Mi cheer up.
He lifted his foot and walked in firmly.
If a few months later, he realizes that the step he took today is that he personally brought his love rival in front of him, will he regret today's impulsiveness?
This is something later.
cough.
At this time, there were already too many people in the hall of the restaurant, and it was noisy.The little Liuqiang was running around the hall with a smile on his face, when he looked up and saw a familiar person coming in, the young master was so handsome, he naturally remembered it clearly.
"Young master, why are you here again?" Xiao Liu asked helplessly.
"What kind of store are you here?" Yuan Jie asked calmly with his sleeves behind.
"Of course it's a place to eat." Xiao Liu replied in a daze.
"Then what do you think I'm here for?" Yuan Jie said, and went straight to the stairs with his head held high.
The visitors were all guests, and the Yuanjie's clothes were not shabby, and she had a good temperament. Even if she knew that she was with the cake seller, she couldn't say that she couldn't come to eat.
Moreover, Xiao Liu also had selfish intentions, and always felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he deliberately followed Yuan Jie up the stairs without telling the shopkeeper, and blocked him from the shopkeeper's attention, "Little master, please go upstairs, you want to sit down?" Is there a private room? There is still one available, I will take you there."
Yuan Jie swaggered to the second floor and followed Xiao Liu into the private room.The interior is well-decorated, the colors are bright, and the air is fresh. It is much more comfortable than the lobby on the first floor.
Yuan Jie sat down at the table steadily, "If you have any signature dishes, come up."
Xiao Liu is also a master who has seen countless people. Looking at Yuan Jie's attire, he can't be considered shabby, but he can't be considered rich either.After all, he lured this person here, he still had to remind him, "Young master, the dishes in our restaurant are very expensive, you...don't make trouble. Otherwise, I won't be able to afford it."
Yuan Jie looked at him innocently, "Don't worry, I won't implicate you." After finishing speaking, he slowly took out a money bag from his arms, bulging, and put it on the table.
Xiao Liu glanced at it, thinking that it is good to have money, and immediately nodded with a smile, "Oh, look at my mouth, I should hit it, young master, don't take it to heart, I will serve you food."
Xiao Liu went out the door in a flash, Yuan Jie retracted his gaze, reached out to pick up the purse, untied the rope, and took out the items inside.
This object is not silver, but a silver sachet.
Ordinary sachets are made of brocade cloth, but this one is made of silver. It is a small ball hollowed out all over, decorated with patterns of flowers and birds.There are three layers inside and outside, the outer layer is tied with a chain hook, the inner layer has a incense bowl, and the middle layer is two biaxially connected machine rings, which are riveted to the outer wall and the incense bowl with rivets, which can rotate freely without sprinkling spices.
Its shape is exquisite and elegant, and its conception and design are exquisite and amazing.It is extraordinary at a glance.
This silver sachet was given to him by his father when he was young.
Daddy said, this is left by grandpa, it can be regarded as a family heirloom, it can keep him healthy for the rest of his life, and he must never leave him.
Therefore, for more than ten years, he has been wearing it around his neck and tied it with a red string.
Just now on the way here, he quietly took off the silver sachet and put it in the money bag.
He didn't know how much this thing was worth, but he always felt that it came from an extraordinary place, maybe even if it could be used, it would be worth it.
After a while, Xiao Liu brought the meals one by one. Yuan Jie had never seen these well-arranged dishes, just looking at them, they were like works of art in illustrations.
"Young master, is it enough for you to look at it? If it is not small enough, I will serve it to you." Xiao Liu said with a smile.
Yuan Jie nodded indifferently, "Enough."
"Okay, then you can eat first, and you can call me if you need something."
After Xiao Liu went out, Yuan Jie looked at the dishes and slowly picked up the chopsticks.
Tian Mi said that he had to come out to see the world, maybe the real world is in this kind of place, and the excitement outside is not suitable for him.
Looking up, he was the only one in the room, so he took a bite with peace of mind.
Loose and soft, fresh, salty and mellow, fat but not greasy.
I have never eaten such good meat, so fragrant and delicious.
Yuan Jie couldn't help but smile in his eyes.Sure enough, eating delicious things will bring happiness.
It's no wonder that such a big restaurant will be opened. He thinks that in the whole town, this is the only one with the most style and delicious food, which makes sense.It seems that doing business is not easy.
But he also took a bite, but put down his chopsticks.
No matter how delicious it is, just taste it, don't be greedy.
Then he sat and looked out the door.
He wouldn't be the kind of person who shouted loudly for the shopkeeper, he was waiting quietly, someone passed by, and it wasn't Xiao Liu.
Seeing a waiter, he immediately called out, "Little Er! Come here!"
The little girl came in immediately, "My lord, what's the matter?"
Yuan Jie said without changing his face: "This one is too salty, this one is not fresh, this one is too spicy, and this one is too bland. Do you want to change the signboard of Yipinxiang Restaurant?"
This domineering provocation coincided unexpectedly with his cold and haughty demeanor.
Xiao Er didn't know why, so he had to accompany the smiling face first, "Master, I don't think so, these dishes are all signature dishes in our restaurant, how about you taste them?"
Yuan Jie looked indifferent, "Are you questioning me?"
Xiao Er was a bit confused by the monk, but it was not easy to try it on himself. Looking closely at this young man, he was dressed plainly, but he had a strong aura that could not be ignored, so he had no choice but to say: "Sir, then I will call The shopkeeper is here, just wait a moment."
What Yuan Jie was waiting for was his words, but he didn't want to say it himself, so he sat quietly and continued to wait.
After a while, the shopkeeper came, with a flattering smile on his face, but after seeing Yuan Jie, the smile gradually disappeared.
"I said, young master, are you looking for trouble?" He can recognize Yuan Jie, and it's hard not to remember who is so good-looking.
"Why did the shopkeeper say that?" Yuan Jie's sophisticated appearance did not match his age.Although this was the first time he had seen a big scene, he was neither startled nor panicked, neither humble nor overbearing, and he was completely able to hold the scene. Sometimes, this kind of temperament was innate, and he could not learn without being angry and pretentious.
Therefore, the shopkeeper was still a bit afraid to be careless, and quickly smiled, "Brother, aren't you with the girl who sells cakes? Don't deliberately make trouble just because our young master didn't accept your goods."
"Which one of your eyes sees that I am with them, even if they are together, she is her, and I am me. Dare to ask people who know the girl, but can't come to eat? If so, then they are your customers , your Yipinxiang store has a big business, do you want the store to bully customers? Can't customers give their opinions, must they flatter you?" Yuan Jie opened his mouth, and no one was spared.
"..." The shopkeeper's head was covered with cold sweat, this little brother is really, looking weak, talking too much, he almost can't catch up. "Brother, that's not what I mean. As long as you come here for dinner, of course we welcome you, and we won't listen to your opinions."
"That's good. I just said that these dishes are not tasty." Yuan Jie looked at shopkeeper Liu steadily.
Shopkeeper Liu thought for a moment, "Then, shall I change another batch?"
"The disks are not good, even if there is a fundamental problem, it is useless to change them."
"Brother, what do you mean... you don't want to give money anymore, right?" Shopkeeper Liu snorted coldly, and went around, he was just a poor ghost, and he wanted to eat for free, so he thought his signboard was painted by ghosts.
Yuan Jie remained silent, but slowly put the money bag up, "You can take it first."
That is, I will give the money, but the food is not good enough to have an explanation.
Shopkeeper Liu has a headache, this is a badass.
He hesitated, afraid of being deceived, he picked up the money bag, shook it, it was a little light, and immediately opened it, only to find that there was no large piece of silver in it, only a silver sachet.
He wanted to be annoyed at first, but when he took a closer look at the silver sachet, the workmanship, the design, and the material, it looked less and less like a vulgar product, definitely not something that ordinary country people can have.So I couldn't help being a little confused, and looked at Yuan Jie and Xiang Feng, but he was just a young boy, could it be a young man who visited privately in a micro-service?
Therefore, he spoke more cautiously, "Then... what does my brother mean?"
Yuan Jie had also been secretly and cautiously observing Shopkeeper Liu's reaction when he saw the silver sachet. Seeing that his slight expression was abnormal, he knew it had worked, at least it shocked the bumpkin.Therefore, he became more determined and calm, "If shopkeeper Liu can't handle it, let the higher-ups handle it."
Shopkeeper Liu is the son.
Shopkeeper Liu suddenly figured it out, this little brother went around in a circle, just to see their young master.
Isn't this to open the way for that girl?
He originally thought it was a trap and ignored it, but then he looked at the silver sachet in his hand, for fear that there might be something tricky inside, so as not to accidentally offend the nobleman.
So, he said with a smile: "Then you wait a moment, brother, and I will ask for instructions."
Yuan Jie nodded slowly.
Shopkeeper Liu held the silver sachet in his hands and hurried out.
Yuan Jie sat where he was, picked up the chopsticks silently, and started eating slowly.
Nonsense, my mother said that it should not be wasted, such a good dish will not taste good when it is cold, he didn't eat much noodles just now, and he was hungry.
Anyway, everything that should be done has been done, just wait, sorry for this table.
Xiao Er passing by the door saw that the young master who was picky just now was eating with relish, so he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, shook his head and left.
Time passed, but fortunately, Yuan Jie didn't have a big appetite, so he stopped after eating for a while, leaving most of the food behind, which was considered as a way of saving face.
But waited and waited, but still did not see the shopkeeper Liu returning. Yuan Jie thought that Tian Mi and his brother were still waiting for him in the noodle shop, and he might be in a hurry right now, so he stood up a little uneasy.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps walking slowly from outside the door, light and steady.
Yuan Jie was unusual when he heard it, when he raised his head, he met a handsome man who entered the door. Immediately, his eyes brightened and his heart sank.
The shopkeeper Liu accompanying him hastily introduced: "My lord, this is the little brother..."
As soon as the young master raised his hand, shopkeeper Liu withdrew.
Yuan Jie stared at the young master who came in, and regretted it for a while.
He couldn't tell what he regretted, but he knew it was too late.
The young master walked into the door indifferently, facing the Yuan Jie directly, after seeing the Yuan Jie clearly, his eyes moved slightly, and he was as indifferent as water, and smiled lightly, and said: "My lord, my surname is Shu, and I am the boss of this pinch of incense. , What do you want me to do, sit down and talk."
Mr. Shu also went straight, directly stating that Yuan Jie's purpose was with him, not with food.
So, the two sat down separately.
Yuan Jie raised his head and took a closer look at Mr. Shu.
This young man was older than him, in his early 20s, but he had an air of charm and a mature demeanor.I saw his phoenix eyes were long and narrow, his eyebrows were delicate, and there was a trace of sharpness in his delicacy.He was not thin, but he had a pointed chin. In that stable temperament, there was a touch of frailty, which made people feel pitiful.In the smile just now, a pear dimple appeared at the corner of his mouth, so he added a kindness to his arrogance.
This Mr. Shu may not be peerless in appearance, but this unique beauty is full of coquettishness and magnificence, making it hard to forget at a glance.
Yuan Jie's fingers clenched secretly.
He remembered that when Tian Mi mentioned the boss of this Pinxiang to him last time, she said that he was handsome and arrogant, and in his tone, he was also deeply impressed by Mr. Shu.He cared about it at the time, but it was only for a moment, and after that, he forgot. Seeing him today... he felt mixed emotions in his heart, it was hard to express.
Perhaps, good-looking people will have natural observation and hostility towards handsome people of the same kind.
Rao is an isolated person like the Yuan Dynasty, and he can't get rid of the vulgarity in this respect.
Not only him, but Mr. Shu, who was sitting opposite him, also quietly looked at Yuan Jie after sitting down.
Mr. Shu is a dignified person who travels all over the world. He has never seen such a prosperous beauty. He is also tall and handsome, so naturally he won't be too amazed by the beauties.Even if he meets one or two high-quality ones, he still thinks they are just vulgar and beautiful, so he will disdain them.
However, this young man who appeared out of nowhere was both cold and warm, noble and down-to-earth.Peach-blossom eyes, cherry lips; beautiful as picturesque, light as poetry, endowed with elegance and elegance, worthy of a sentence: Moshang is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
This made Mr. Shu secretly admire and admire him quietly.
He wondered, how could there be such a good-looking young man in such an ordinary town, like a pearl covered in dust, playing the piano to a cow, which makes people feel pity.
Vote!Vote!
(End of this chapter)
Yuan Jie looked down at the hands of the two holding each other, his heart couldn't help fluctuating, and there was a suppressed joy in his eyes.But subconsciously, and afraid of getting in the way of his brother's eyes, he quietly glanced back at Yuanzhen.
Yuan Zhen naturally saw it, but immediately looked away, pretending not to see it.
Yuan Jie originally wanted to withdraw his hand, but he unconsciously became selfish, greedy for this moment, so he also let Tian Mi lead him.
"What are you doing? Look, it's so lively!" Tian Mi felt that he came back to the town for the first time today, and she was very eager to let him see this bustling world, so she was even more excited than him.Seeing that he was in a trance, he couldn't help but tugged his hand again to remind him. "You won't get dizzy in the car, will you?"
Yuan Jie immediately came back to his senses, "No, I'm watching."
"Hmm! Look, there are fruits and vegetables here, more than in Xiaohui, right? The ones selling snacks and gadgets in front are fun! Look over there again..." Tian Mi introduced excitedly .
It was indeed the first time for Yuan Jie to see such a bustling scene, and when he looked up, he was amazed.
This street is very wide, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder, full of shouting and shouting from time to time.There are small stalls on both sides of the road, and there are all kinds of goods, dazzling and varied.
There are sweet and sour candied haws, colorful gadgets, rouge gouache and small pendants for girls, all kinds of small noodles, and red paper lanterns!
Not only are there hawkers, but there are also shops side by side on both sides of the road, there are pawnshops, cloth shops, medical clinics... There are also taverns, where there is always a tangy fragrance that entices people's taste buds.
Rao is such a calm person in Yuanjie, seeing this lively scene that can only be seen in the storybook for the first time, is also joyful and full of excitement.
This is the breath of life.It's not like being in a country, in a room, surrounded by silence, that kind of feeling is so lonely that there is no interest in life.
In Yuan Jie's eyes, Tian Mi saw a light that was hard to hide, it was a desire to survive.She knew that he was moved.He is not the kind of person who can be confined to a remote mountain village in the countryside. This kind of lively and prosperous world belongs to him.
"Young man, please express your feelings." Tian Mi smiled and touched Yuan Jie with her arm.
Yuan Jie glanced at her, and then said, "It's a bit noisy."
Tian Mi was displeased, "You really like it so much, you still pretend. Cut it!" Why is this child like this now?
"I like it, but I haven't seen so many people, so I'm not used to it."
"Get used to this thing, it's cultivated. You'll get used to it after a few more visits." Tian Mi said, she was attracted by the cosmetics accessories stand on a small stall, and went to have a look.
Yuan Jie stopped, still looking around quietly.
"Yuan Jie, are you tired? If you are tired, you can sit in the car and you can still watch." Yuan Zhen was worried that he would be tired from being quarreled by so many people, so he stepped forward to persuade him.
Yuan Jie shook his head, "No, brother, sitting all the way, walking is good."
"Then, you should pay more attention. There are many carriages on the road, so don't bump into them."
"Understood, brother, I'm not a child." Yuan Jie said, thinking that Tian Mi said just now that he should not lose it, she couldn't help being a little ashamed, she was really...
Although the town is much more upscale, and the dignitaries are ordinary people, but after all, the leader of the Yuan Jie is quite outstanding, and standing with Yuan Zhen, the two brothers are both handsome and outstanding, which is even more noticeable.
When many young women pass by, they will take an extra look.
Tian Mi focused on admiring the objects without knowing it. Suddenly, she saw a small round bronze mirror, thinking that she hadn't taken a good picture of her clothes, so she picked it up and started to take pictures.
She didn't even know that her face was already so good-looking, with fair skin, delicate features, and collagen all over her face, she was completely different from when she first came here.Coupled with this new dress, she has a graceful figure, which can be said to be a fair lady!
"Daughter-in-law, you look good in this dress, especially good-looking." Yuan Zhen praised her when she put on the new clothes in the morning, and now, he couldn't help but cooperate with her. "Daughter-in-law, buy a mirror and take a good picture at home."
Tian Mi has exactly this intention, there is no girl who does not love beauty, she still wants to admire herself.
"Boss, how much is it?"
"This mirror is expensive, eighty Wen." The peddler said.
Tian Mi was worried, a mirror is so expensive?Looked at it reluctantly, and told the peddler unwillingly, "Look, you are just an ordinary mirror, the surrounding is smooth, there are no patterns, and the workmanship is so poor, how about it, forty coins, you If you want to sell it, you can sell it, if you don’t sell it, you will be knocked down, anyway, you can live with or without a mirror.”
Unexpectedly, when she said this, the peddler became upset, his expression changed, and he said: "I sell luxury goods here, and those who don't have good clothes can live in shabby clothes."
Tian Mi thought she could successfully bargain again, and didn't want to meet someone who was wrong, so she immediately turned her head angrily, "Hey, how do you do business? With your attitude, you can make money?"
"I've been here for seven or eight years. I've seen a bargainer, but I've never seen you so careless."
"Who do you say is not particular?" Tian Mi was furious. When she came here, she was almost unstoppable all the way, winning consecutive games, but she didn't expect to be tripped by a peddler.
The peddler smiled, glanced at Yuan Zhen, and said, "Little madam, you look good, and your husband is handsome, why don't you pursue life at all. If you want to live a comfortable life, you need to spend more money."
Although Tian Mi was very annoyed, it made sense to think about what the hawker said.Earning money is spent. Isn't it worth spending a little money to dress yourself up and make your life better?The point is, the other party also praised her for looking good.
Immediately, the anger dissipated.
"That can't be as much as you say, so let's do it, fifty cents. If you can't do it, it's really fine." She can't just be cheated of money just to dress up and live, that's brainless.
"Sixty Wen, do you want love or not." The peddler also has a temper.
Tian Mi rolled his eyes at him, turned around and pulled Yuan Zhen away.
Yuan Jieyuan was standing behind her, so he followed her and turned around.
Unexpectedly, suddenly, something was stuffed into his arms.Yuan Jie was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to see that it was a blushing little girl who looked at him, and immediately ran away covering her mouth.
Tian Mi was also dumbfounded.
Yuan Jie didn't realize it for a long time, and opened his palm in confusion. It turned out to be a handkerchief. When he unfolded it, he saw a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it and the word "bell" embroidered on it.
Only then did Yuan Jie understand it all at once, and suddenly embarrassment came along with embarrassment.He never thought that there would be such a bold woman who would give him something like "promise" on the street.It's really too much!
Looking back, the delicate girl didn't go far away, she was still looking at him affectionately at the side of the road, as if waiting for his response.
Tian Mi didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yuan Jie has a strong temper, so he wanted to throw away the handkerchief on the spot, but Yuan Zhen snatched it, then strode up to the girl, and said to people: "Miss Zhong, my brother is married, you It's disrespectful to do that."
"I..." Qingxiu looked disappointed.
Yuan Zhen strode back, patted Yuan Jie, "Let's go."
A small accident suddenly happened among the three of them, making it very unpleasant.
Tian Mi was also embarrassed to talk too much, feeling weird, Yuan Jie frowned even more, his face was still flushed with anger, he hung his head and refused to look up, for fear that something embarrassing would happen again.
Seeing that the good atmosphere was destroyed, Yuanzhen looked around, and had to find a topic to ease, "Daughter-in-law, why didn't you buy that mirror just now? There are sixty coins, mother gave me the money."
"What's the rush? You're eligible to spend money if you make money from buying things." After Tian Mi finished speaking, she looked ahead. It was not far from the Yipin Pavilion restaurant. It was the busiest crossroad after walking there. The lot is.Today, she must succeed!
Only by spending money on your own ability can you have a sense of accomplishment.
So, she couldn't wait to walk forward, and she was no longer interested in left and right.
Yuan Jie didn't have the heart to look at the dazzling market anymore, and glanced at Tian Mi from the end of his eyes from time to time, always feeling that she was angry because she kept ignoring him.
What... does this have to do with him?Rushed by a strange woman, he was so disgusted, she ignored him... Wasn't it intentional to make him feel more uncomfortable?
But... If she is angry, why?Could it be because I like him a little bit?That is, are you jealous?
Thinking of this, I became more and more flustered and distracted.
However, such complicated emotions didn't last long, they came to a gorgeous restaurant, Yuan Jie looked up, and saw a plaque written on it: Yipinxiang.
"Here! Yuanzhen, today's battle has begun!" Tian Mi looked at Yuanzhen happily and nervously, "Do you think we can succeed?"
Yuanzhen gently held her hand, "The Baihua crisps made by my wife are incomparable, more delicious than any other dim sum. If this boss is picky again, it will be his loss."
Speaking of Tian Mi's heart, she smiled sweetly, and the tension on her face eased a lot, "You are the only one who can coax me."
Only then did Yuan Jie know that they had come to the restaurant that Tian Mi mentioned last time, and seeing the excited and expectant eyes on Tian Mi's face, he finally knew what kind of anger Tian Mi was with him just now, she didn't care at all. Keeping his affairs in mind, only thinking about making money... It seems that he is still worrying too much.
Bowing his head, he laughed lowly at himself.
"Yuan Jie, let's go, let's go in." Tian Mi finally took care of him, turned around and waved to him, then hurried into the restaurant.
At this time, it was not lunch time, there were only two tables of guests in the lobby of the restaurant, Xiao Liu was delivering the dishes and turned around, and saw a few familiar people at a glance.
Today, Tian Mi's clothes are a bit more showy, and she is also energetic, which makes people dare not look down upon her.Especially this little Liuer, I heard that his tongue is still hanging on Tian Mi's place. He is looking forward to Tian Mi's return, but he is also afraid of her return. If he can follow the light, if he doesn't want to, he won't be able to keep his tongue.
"Hey, girl! You're here!" Xiao Liu greeted them with a smile, and sized them up. He recognized Yuan Zhen behind him, and after that, he saw Yuan Jie who was facing him again, but he took a look, and it was the same. Surprised, this young master is so handsome, he has had countless guests, and he has never seen anyone comparable to him, today, he really did.
Can't help looking at Tian Mi curiously, how come this girl is more delicate than last time.
"Xiao Liu, I'm here to deliver cakes today, is your boss here?" Tian Mi asked politely.
"Girl, our young master is not always in the restaurant, but I can inform you when you come, and you can just wait here." This time, Xiao Liu was also very polite.
Tian Mi nodded, "Okay."
"Who is it!" Suddenly there was a questioning voice, and they came down the stairs. Several people looked up and saw that it was shopkeeper Liu. Xiao Liu immediately greeted him, nodded and bowed and said, "Shopkeeper, the girl who delivered the hundred flower cakes came again last time." gone."
Shopkeeper Liu snorted, looked at them, and said to Xiao Liu, "Go and report to the young master."
At this time, a man suddenly appeared from the back kitchen, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liu, we are wasting time by coming and going. Seeing that we should be busy, why don't I send the snacks to the young master for tasting, isn't it better?" Is it easy?"
Shopkeeper Liu glanced at him and nodded, "Okay, Sun Zhi, then you can go."
When Tian Mi saw Sun Zhi, she felt uncomfortable. Last time when she came back for the first time, Xiao Liu originally wanted to help her, but this Sun Zhi kicked her out of the house without any explanation, with a bad attitude, but this time, unexpectedly Actively helping her run errands, is it because she is afraid that her cake will be selected, so she won't be able to curry favor with her first?
So, Sun Zhi walked up to Yuanzhen and stretched out his hand.
Yuan Zhen glanced at Tian Mi, and Tian Mi went over, carefully took out a bag, and handed it to Sun Zhi, "I'm sorry."
That Sun Zhi glanced at her, ignored her, walked up to shopkeeper Liu, and said, "Treasurer Liu, then I'll go."
"Yes." Shopkeeper Liu responded, and Sun Zhi hurriedly went to the back door of the restaurant and left.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at Tian Mi and the others, and said with a faint smile, "Sit down, Xiao Liu, and pour tea."
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Tian Mi said politely, then exchanged glances with Yuan Zhen and Yuan Jie, and sat down at the nearest seat.
Xiao Liu was also very active in pouring tea for them, saying, "Girl, are the cakes you made this time better than last time?"
"I feel good about myself, I hope your boss will be satisfied." Tian Mi smiled.
Xiao Liu's face turned bitter, "Oh, God bless you, now the girl and I are also grasshoppers on the same rope, I hope the girl is well, otherwise, I won't be able to eat and walk around."
Tian Mi laughed, "I have confidence."
"That's good, that's good." After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
Tian Mi suddenly called him, "Hey, Xiao Liu, that guy named Sun Zhi...why is he so active? Last time, he hated me very much."
Xiao Liu curled his lips, hesitant to speak.
Tian Mi rolled her eyes, "He can't be a cook, can he?"
Xiao Liu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, he also made the dim sum in our restaurant, so..."
Tian Mi couldn't help frowning, this is a colleague.
After Xiao Liu left, Yuan Zhen said: "Daughter-in-law, I see that Sun Zhi is not at ease."
Tian Mi said sadly: "We came here to deliver Baihua crisps because we want to steal his job. It's no wonder he is kind enough to help."
"Daughter-in-law, what if he changes our cake?" Yuan Zhen asked anxiously.
Tian Mi was silent for a while, then said: "Wait and see." Let's see what tricks he plays.
Yuan Zhen frowned, anxious.
Yuan Jie just listened quietly, then turned to see Tian Mi worried, and quietly patted her under the table, Tian Mi looked at him, and he only nodded to express his encouragement and comfort.
"En." Tian Mi was perfunctory, and lowered her head to take a sip of tea.
This feeling is like handing in a resume and waiting for an interview before. I am nervous and have the illusion that I will definitely be killed.
In the tense atmosphere, after a while, Sun Zhi came back. After returning, he ignored them, but went to shopkeeper Liu and said, "Young master said, let them go."
Tian Mi and the others stood up awkwardly. Yuan Zhen was afraid that Tian Mi would be sad, so he hurried forward and asked, "Please tell me clearly, what's wrong with our dim sum?"
Sun Zhi looked at Yuanzhen with a look of contempt on his face, "Master, just say a word, such a rough food, how can it be worthy of our first-class incense. Hmph, why, are you not convinced? Do you think that the dim sum you make is the best in the world? Don't dream, Hurry up, don't block our business!"
After listening to Sun Zhi's words, Shopkeeper Liu believed it to be true, and changed his attitude towards Tian Mi, "Since the young master does not accept your goods, please go back." In his eyes, he still wanted to have a solid cook to check and balance Sun Zhi, who knew he was a waste.
"The shopkeeper!" Tian Mi took a step forward instead of retreating, and stared at the shopkeeper seriously, "This little brother is not clear, so I can't believe it. Whether my pancakes are good or not, I don't brag about it myself, you can Try it yourself, I don't believe your young master, so I just sent me away like this."
This is the product she has been preparing for so many days. She made it with full of hope. All her wealth is here, the hope of the whole village!Killed by this person's words?She refuses to accept it!
"Hey, what do you mean by that? What kind of vision does our young master have for seeing what you make?" Sun Zhi argued anxiously, "I tell you, don't jump over the wall if you are not selected. If you quarrel with our young master, then you can I can't bear it!"
Tian Mi ignored him, just looked at Shopkeeper Liu, "Shopkeeper, give me a chance to try it yourself."
At this time, Xiao Liu, who had been watching quietly, also stepped forward to persuade: "Shopkeeper, you can try it." He also wanted to fight for a way out for himself.
"But since the young master has already made up his mind, I have no other choice. Let's go." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed softly.
The anger in Tian Mi's heart rose layer by layer, and her eyes turned red with anger. Could it be that Sun Zhi made all her achievements come to naught? !
Seeing this, Yuan Zhen was extremely angry, "Shopkeeper, can't you see it? This Sun Zhi has ulterior motives. He must have done something to make your boss not choose our house."
"Hey, don't spitting blood, be careful and I will tell someone to beat you!" Sun Zhi jumped over the wall anxiously, "If you don't taste good, you will turn your face, come on!"
Tian Mi frowned, such a big restaurant, such an out-of-this-world son, why would such a vulgar person be the cook? !
"Okay, you guys are being unreasonable and deceiving people too much. Today, I will put the pendulum in front of you and let the passing guests taste it. Is your dim sum delicious or mine!" Tian Mi made up her mind to fight this restaurant to the end!
After all, who knows if that weird young master deliberately made things difficult for her!
"How dare you!" Sun Zhi said first.
"Girl!" The shopkeeper's second voice sounded, and the shopkeeper seemed a little embarrassed, "Girl, you must not do this, otherwise, you will annoy the young master."
"It seems that your son deliberately teased me?" Tian Mi's heart turned cold.
Shopkeeper Liu was silent, and he didn't know why.Said that although Sun Zhi said that his character was a little bit bad, he should not dare to lie to the young master, it must be that the young master really did not match.
"Maybe, it's because the girl's craftsmanship doesn't suit the young master's taste. Why don't you try it at another house." The shopkeeper is already very tolerant.
Tian Mi feels disheartened now, she never thought that this time, she will not even be able to see the young master, she has a mouth all over her body, and she can't speak clearly, no matter how hard she tries, she won't be able to use it.Or, it was because she herself took this matter too seriously, and that poisonous young man didn't take it to heart at all.
So frustrating.
Turning around, strode out of the door of the restaurant.
Walking on the streets of the small town, I feel confused, lost, and sad.
It was still very lively next to her, but her mind went blank and she couldn't hear anything.
Let her watch him taste her cakes in front of the young master, and hear him say that she can't do it with her own ears. She also gives up and admits defeat, but what else can she do if he doesn't see her face at all?
Maybe I hoped too much, so now I am disappointed and sad.
"Daughter-in-law, if you can't do it, you can't do it. Let's set up a stall to sell it like last time. This time we will definitely make more money than last time." Yuan Zhen hugged her shoulders, comforting her distressedly.
Is it different?What she needs is approval.Especially the approval of that picky ghost.Last time, she said that her Baihua crisp was useless. Today, she wants to stand up and make him admit his mistake to her. It's a pity... Now it has become a joke.
Seeing Tian Mi's pale face, Yuan Jie felt very distressed, but he didn't say anything, just frowned, thinking secretly.
The three of them walked aimlessly like this. After walking for a while, Yuan Zhen saw that Tian Mi was not in good condition, so he turned around and found a small noodle shop, and said to her: "I'm tired all the way, daughter-in-law, let's go first." Let's eat and rest for a while."
Tian Mi knew that no matter how sad she was, she couldn't stop eating and drinking, and she was indeed very tired, so she nodded.
Yuan Jie kept looking at her worriedly.
Tian Mi sat down in the noodle restaurant with her head down. Yuan Zhen ordered three bowls of beef noodles and coaxed Tian Mi, "Daughter-in-law, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Go set up a stall to sell it, and watch me top off their Yipinxiang signboard, make them jealous, and vent their anger on their daughter-in-law!"
After Tian Mi heard this, she couldn't be happy at all, instead she felt depressed, frowned and said nothing.
Yuan Zhen didn't dare to talk too much.
So, the three of them ate noodles sullenly.
But everyone was in a bad mood, and Yuan Jie only ate a little, and stopped eating. He sat at the table, paused, and said, "Brother, I'll go out for the convenience."
Yuan Zhen looked at him, then at Tian Mi, "Let me accompany you, you are not familiar."
"It's okay, I can't lose it." After Yuan Jie said, he turned around and left the noodle shop.
When he got outside, his family's donkey cart was tied outside the door, Yuan Jie went into the cart without making a sound, and took out a pack of Baihua crisps.
Then he turned around and walked towards Yipinxiang Restaurant behind him.
Tian Mi has been preparing for so long, just waiting for today's success. It's not just about money. This kind of frustration will make her heartbroken and hard to let go.He can't bear to see it.However, he knew that it was useless to coax her, comfort her and encourage her, because she didn't really lose, but was too aggrieved!
He stood at the door of this Pinxiang restaurant again, looked up, and looked at the plaque. Suddenly, he had a strange illusion. He felt that maybe what he did was not necessarily right, but he couldn't go back on his word. Because now he just wants to see Tian Mi cheer up.
He lifted his foot and walked in firmly.
If a few months later, he realizes that the step he took today is that he personally brought his love rival in front of him, will he regret today's impulsiveness?
This is something later.
cough.
At this time, there were already too many people in the hall of the restaurant, and it was noisy.The little Liuqiang was running around the hall with a smile on his face, when he looked up and saw a familiar person coming in, the young master was so handsome, he naturally remembered it clearly.
"Young master, why are you here again?" Xiao Liu asked helplessly.
"What kind of store are you here?" Yuan Jie asked calmly with his sleeves behind.
"Of course it's a place to eat." Xiao Liu replied in a daze.
"Then what do you think I'm here for?" Yuan Jie said, and went straight to the stairs with his head held high.
The visitors were all guests, and the Yuanjie's clothes were not shabby, and she had a good temperament. Even if she knew that she was with the cake seller, she couldn't say that she couldn't come to eat.
Moreover, Xiao Liu also had selfish intentions, and always felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he deliberately followed Yuan Jie up the stairs without telling the shopkeeper, and blocked him from the shopkeeper's attention, "Little master, please go upstairs, you want to sit down?" Is there a private room? There is still one available, I will take you there."
Yuan Jie swaggered to the second floor and followed Xiao Liu into the private room.The interior is well-decorated, the colors are bright, and the air is fresh. It is much more comfortable than the lobby on the first floor.
Yuan Jie sat down at the table steadily, "If you have any signature dishes, come up."
Xiao Liu is also a master who has seen countless people. Looking at Yuan Jie's attire, he can't be considered shabby, but he can't be considered rich either.After all, he lured this person here, he still had to remind him, "Young master, the dishes in our restaurant are very expensive, you...don't make trouble. Otherwise, I won't be able to afford it."
Yuan Jie looked at him innocently, "Don't worry, I won't implicate you." After finishing speaking, he slowly took out a money bag from his arms, bulging, and put it on the table.
Xiao Liu glanced at it, thinking that it is good to have money, and immediately nodded with a smile, "Oh, look at my mouth, I should hit it, young master, don't take it to heart, I will serve you food."
Xiao Liu went out the door in a flash, Yuan Jie retracted his gaze, reached out to pick up the purse, untied the rope, and took out the items inside.
This object is not silver, but a silver sachet.
Ordinary sachets are made of brocade cloth, but this one is made of silver. It is a small ball hollowed out all over, decorated with patterns of flowers and birds.There are three layers inside and outside, the outer layer is tied with a chain hook, the inner layer has a incense bowl, and the middle layer is two biaxially connected machine rings, which are riveted to the outer wall and the incense bowl with rivets, which can rotate freely without sprinkling spices.
Its shape is exquisite and elegant, and its conception and design are exquisite and amazing.It is extraordinary at a glance.
This silver sachet was given to him by his father when he was young.
Daddy said, this is left by grandpa, it can be regarded as a family heirloom, it can keep him healthy for the rest of his life, and he must never leave him.
Therefore, for more than ten years, he has been wearing it around his neck and tied it with a red string.
Just now on the way here, he quietly took off the silver sachet and put it in the money bag.
He didn't know how much this thing was worth, but he always felt that it came from an extraordinary place, maybe even if it could be used, it would be worth it.
After a while, Xiao Liu brought the meals one by one. Yuan Jie had never seen these well-arranged dishes, just looking at them, they were like works of art in illustrations.
"Young master, is it enough for you to look at it? If it is not small enough, I will serve it to you." Xiao Liu said with a smile.
Yuan Jie nodded indifferently, "Enough."
"Okay, then you can eat first, and you can call me if you need something."
After Xiao Liu went out, Yuan Jie looked at the dishes and slowly picked up the chopsticks.
Tian Mi said that he had to come out to see the world, maybe the real world is in this kind of place, and the excitement outside is not suitable for him.
Looking up, he was the only one in the room, so he took a bite with peace of mind.
Loose and soft, fresh, salty and mellow, fat but not greasy.
I have never eaten such good meat, so fragrant and delicious.
Yuan Jie couldn't help but smile in his eyes.Sure enough, eating delicious things will bring happiness.
It's no wonder that such a big restaurant will be opened. He thinks that in the whole town, this is the only one with the most style and delicious food, which makes sense.It seems that doing business is not easy.
But he also took a bite, but put down his chopsticks.
No matter how delicious it is, just taste it, don't be greedy.
Then he sat and looked out the door.
He wouldn't be the kind of person who shouted loudly for the shopkeeper, he was waiting quietly, someone passed by, and it wasn't Xiao Liu.
Seeing a waiter, he immediately called out, "Little Er! Come here!"
The little girl came in immediately, "My lord, what's the matter?"
Yuan Jie said without changing his face: "This one is too salty, this one is not fresh, this one is too spicy, and this one is too bland. Do you want to change the signboard of Yipinxiang Restaurant?"
This domineering provocation coincided unexpectedly with his cold and haughty demeanor.
Xiao Er didn't know why, so he had to accompany the smiling face first, "Master, I don't think so, these dishes are all signature dishes in our restaurant, how about you taste them?"
Yuan Jie looked indifferent, "Are you questioning me?"
Xiao Er was a bit confused by the monk, but it was not easy to try it on himself. Looking closely at this young man, he was dressed plainly, but he had a strong aura that could not be ignored, so he had no choice but to say: "Sir, then I will call The shopkeeper is here, just wait a moment."
What Yuan Jie was waiting for was his words, but he didn't want to say it himself, so he sat quietly and continued to wait.
After a while, the shopkeeper came, with a flattering smile on his face, but after seeing Yuan Jie, the smile gradually disappeared.
"I said, young master, are you looking for trouble?" He can recognize Yuan Jie, and it's hard not to remember who is so good-looking.
"Why did the shopkeeper say that?" Yuan Jie's sophisticated appearance did not match his age.Although this was the first time he had seen a big scene, he was neither startled nor panicked, neither humble nor overbearing, and he was completely able to hold the scene. Sometimes, this kind of temperament was innate, and he could not learn without being angry and pretentious.
Therefore, the shopkeeper was still a bit afraid to be careless, and quickly smiled, "Brother, aren't you with the girl who sells cakes? Don't deliberately make trouble just because our young master didn't accept your goods."
"Which one of your eyes sees that I am with them, even if they are together, she is her, and I am me. Dare to ask people who know the girl, but can't come to eat? If so, then they are your customers , your Yipinxiang store has a big business, do you want the store to bully customers? Can't customers give their opinions, must they flatter you?" Yuan Jie opened his mouth, and no one was spared.
"..." The shopkeeper's head was covered with cold sweat, this little brother is really, looking weak, talking too much, he almost can't catch up. "Brother, that's not what I mean. As long as you come here for dinner, of course we welcome you, and we won't listen to your opinions."
"That's good. I just said that these dishes are not tasty." Yuan Jie looked at shopkeeper Liu steadily.
Shopkeeper Liu thought for a moment, "Then, shall I change another batch?"
"The disks are not good, even if there is a fundamental problem, it is useless to change them."
"Brother, what do you mean... you don't want to give money anymore, right?" Shopkeeper Liu snorted coldly, and went around, he was just a poor ghost, and he wanted to eat for free, so he thought his signboard was painted by ghosts.
Yuan Jie remained silent, but slowly put the money bag up, "You can take it first."
That is, I will give the money, but the food is not good enough to have an explanation.
Shopkeeper Liu has a headache, this is a badass.
He hesitated, afraid of being deceived, he picked up the money bag, shook it, it was a little light, and immediately opened it, only to find that there was no large piece of silver in it, only a silver sachet.
He wanted to be annoyed at first, but when he took a closer look at the silver sachet, the workmanship, the design, and the material, it looked less and less like a vulgar product, definitely not something that ordinary country people can have.So I couldn't help being a little confused, and looked at Yuan Jie and Xiang Feng, but he was just a young boy, could it be a young man who visited privately in a micro-service?
Therefore, he spoke more cautiously, "Then... what does my brother mean?"
Yuan Jie had also been secretly and cautiously observing Shopkeeper Liu's reaction when he saw the silver sachet. Seeing that his slight expression was abnormal, he knew it had worked, at least it shocked the bumpkin.Therefore, he became more determined and calm, "If shopkeeper Liu can't handle it, let the higher-ups handle it."
Shopkeeper Liu is the son.
Shopkeeper Liu suddenly figured it out, this little brother went around in a circle, just to see their young master.
Isn't this to open the way for that girl?
He originally thought it was a trap and ignored it, but then he looked at the silver sachet in his hand, for fear that there might be something tricky inside, so as not to accidentally offend the nobleman.
So, he said with a smile: "Then you wait a moment, brother, and I will ask for instructions."
Yuan Jie nodded slowly.
Shopkeeper Liu held the silver sachet in his hands and hurried out.
Yuan Jie sat where he was, picked up the chopsticks silently, and started eating slowly.
Nonsense, my mother said that it should not be wasted, such a good dish will not taste good when it is cold, he didn't eat much noodles just now, and he was hungry.
Anyway, everything that should be done has been done, just wait, sorry for this table.
Xiao Er passing by the door saw that the young master who was picky just now was eating with relish, so he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, shook his head and left.
Time passed, but fortunately, Yuan Jie didn't have a big appetite, so he stopped after eating for a while, leaving most of the food behind, which was considered as a way of saving face.
But waited and waited, but still did not see the shopkeeper Liu returning. Yuan Jie thought that Tian Mi and his brother were still waiting for him in the noodle shop, and he might be in a hurry right now, so he stood up a little uneasy.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps walking slowly from outside the door, light and steady.
Yuan Jie was unusual when he heard it, when he raised his head, he met a handsome man who entered the door. Immediately, his eyes brightened and his heart sank.
The shopkeeper Liu accompanying him hastily introduced: "My lord, this is the little brother..."
As soon as the young master raised his hand, shopkeeper Liu withdrew.
Yuan Jie stared at the young master who came in, and regretted it for a while.
He couldn't tell what he regretted, but he knew it was too late.
The young master walked into the door indifferently, facing the Yuan Jie directly, after seeing the Yuan Jie clearly, his eyes moved slightly, and he was as indifferent as water, and smiled lightly, and said: "My lord, my surname is Shu, and I am the boss of this pinch of incense. , What do you want me to do, sit down and talk."
Mr. Shu also went straight, directly stating that Yuan Jie's purpose was with him, not with food.
So, the two sat down separately.
Yuan Jie raised his head and took a closer look at Mr. Shu.
This young man was older than him, in his early 20s, but he had an air of charm and a mature demeanor.I saw his phoenix eyes were long and narrow, his eyebrows were delicate, and there was a trace of sharpness in his delicacy.He was not thin, but he had a pointed chin. In that stable temperament, there was a touch of frailty, which made people feel pitiful.In the smile just now, a pear dimple appeared at the corner of his mouth, so he added a kindness to his arrogance.
This Mr. Shu may not be peerless in appearance, but this unique beauty is full of coquettishness and magnificence, making it hard to forget at a glance.
Yuan Jie's fingers clenched secretly.
He remembered that when Tian Mi mentioned the boss of this Pinxiang to him last time, she said that he was handsome and arrogant, and in his tone, he was also deeply impressed by Mr. Shu.He cared about it at the time, but it was only for a moment, and after that, he forgot. Seeing him today... he felt mixed emotions in his heart, it was hard to express.
Perhaps, good-looking people will have natural observation and hostility towards handsome people of the same kind.
Rao is an isolated person like the Yuan Dynasty, and he can't get rid of the vulgarity in this respect.
Not only him, but Mr. Shu, who was sitting opposite him, also quietly looked at Yuan Jie after sitting down.
Mr. Shu is a dignified person who travels all over the world. He has never seen such a prosperous beauty. He is also tall and handsome, so naturally he won't be too amazed by the beauties.Even if he meets one or two high-quality ones, he still thinks they are just vulgar and beautiful, so he will disdain them.
However, this young man who appeared out of nowhere was both cold and warm, noble and down-to-earth.Peach-blossom eyes, cherry lips; beautiful as picturesque, light as poetry, endowed with elegance and elegance, worthy of a sentence: Moshang is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
This made Mr. Shu secretly admire and admire him quietly.
He wondered, how could there be such a good-looking young man in such an ordinary town, like a pearl covered in dust, playing the piano to a cow, which makes people feel pity.
