After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 285 Money Bags
Yun Zhuo slept well that night.

Anyone who has been driving for a day during the day and can have a place to rest at night will surely sleep well.

She didn't disturb anyone when she got up in the morning, and went downstairs to find something to eat, but she didn't expect to see Xie Jie sitting in the corner as soon as she got downstairs.

At this moment, the number of people in the inn has gradually increased. In the lobby, there are many people sitting at the table waiting for the waiter to eat. There are occasional chatter and laughter, and the room is full of noise.However, Xie Jie sat there, as if he had a sense of leisure and seclusion, separated from the noisy room by an invisible barrier, making people feel quiet at first sight.

She yawned and walked over, sat down opposite Xie Jie at the table of the Eight Immortals, and said pleasantly, "You got up so early."

Xie Jie glanced at the long street where the inn was already full of people, and said, "It's not early."

Yun Zhuo: ...

have felt offended.

She skipped this topic and asked Xie Jie: "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

Yun Zhuo rested his chin on the table with his hand, and raised his other hand to make a gesture. Seeing this, Xiaoer hurried over: "What's your order?"

"What do you eat here in the morning? What is Luyong's special breakfast?" Yun Zhuo asked lazily.

Xiao Er's head was lowered, and he quietly raised his eyes to look at the two people in front of him. Seeing that although they were dressed in simple clothes, they had an extraordinary demeanor, and said more respectfully: "Guests come from a long way. Mutton powder is a must.”

Yun Zhuo was very interested in eating in this kind of place, so he said to Xie Jie: "Naturally, you can't be as particular about going out as before. Why don't you go to the country and do as the Romans do, and try the mutton powder here?"

Xie Jie was noncommittal.

Yun Zhuo then said to Xiao Er: "Bring me a bowl of mutton powder, but hurry up."

"Okay!" Xiaoer nodded, turned around and yelled loudly to the back kitchen, "Serve a bowl of mutton noodles."

The kitchen staff then got busy, with onions, ginger, garlic, oil, crackling operations, a bowl of ingredients was prepared in an instant, the water in the stove was bubbling, and it was already boiling, a wooden ladle When you go down, you have to get up half a scoop of boiling water and pour it into a bowl. This is soup.

As soon as the water drains, oil stars rise up, and the aroma of onion, ginger, and garlic evaporates. The crystal clear rice noodles fall into the pot, and a pair of chopsticks stir them until the rice noodles gradually change from hard to soft. It can be pinched off with one clamp, which is the best time to pick it up.

After the noodles are picked up, put a few pieces of cooked mutton prepared last night from one side, spread them on top of the rice noodles, sprinkle some coriander, green onion, and seaweed shreds around, and add a few drops of chili oil, and a bowl of hot and fragrant mutton noodles will be out of the pan .

The pottery bowl was brought in front of Xie Jie, and he frowned just looking at the chili oil floating in the bowl.

However, Yun Zhuo looked at him expectantly: "Try it quickly!"

Xie Jie frowned even tighter, obviously also noticed Yun Zhuo's careful thinking - she clearly asked him to try the dishes for her.

He pursed his lips, picked up a stick of rice noodles with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing slowly, he nodded and said without hesitation: "It's still good for the mouth."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the rice noodles in front of Yun Zhuo: "I'm not very hungry, but you seem to be hungry."

Yun Zhuo pulled the bowl closer, and took out two chopsticks from the wooden tube beside him. While stirring the rice noodles in the bowl, he said to Xie Jie: "Actually, I'm not that hungry, but since you don't want to eat, Then I can only do it for you, right? It can’t be wasted, right?”

"At first glance, you will know that you have never eaten food in these places. Whether it is noodles or noodles, yes, you have to stir it first, so that every strand of noodles or noodles is perfectly immersed in the soup. Let’s eat. The bite you took earlier didn’t taste good, did it?”

Xie Jie covered his lips and coughed: "I like light food."

"Oh——" Yun Zhuo elongated his voice, but he didn't tease him anymore, but started to eat on his own.

After eating a bowl of noodles, the spicy oil on the soup surface was almost clean, leaving a thick white soup base, but Yunzhuo's lips were stained a little, and even her lips became more red because of the spicy food.

She opened her mouth slightly, a small tip of her tongue was pressed behind her snow-white teeth, revealing some bright colors faintly, which contrasted nicely with the cherry lips.

Xie Jie suddenly remembered her sleeping face on the carriage, his eyes darkened for a moment, then he took out the silk handkerchief he carried with him, and raised his hand to wipe the corners of Yun Zhuo's lips, the movements were as natural as if he had done it many times.

Yun Zhuo evaded back uncomfortably, looked at Xie Jie with eyes soaked in autumn water, and asked him what's wrong with his eyes.

It was only then that Xie Jie noticed his gaffe, and put the silk handkerchief in Yun Zhuo's hand as a cover-up: "How old are you, and you don't even remember to wipe your mouth after eating."

Yun Zhuo really forgot about this one. She hasn't eaten such a delicious and spicy food for a long time. She still remembers the last time she ate spicy shrimp tails cooked by Xie Jie in Xie Mansion. She was happy for a while, but then forgot wiped his mouth.She smiled at Xie Jie as if to please her, and compared her heart to her heart. If she had such an ignorant girl by her side, she would have been impatient.

Thinking of the spicy shrimp tail again, Yun Zhuo felt deeply ungrateful, why did he get angry with Xie Jie so easily yesterday?For the sake of the spicy shrimp tail, she made a cup of tea for Xie Jie and poured a cup for herself: "I offended you so much yesterday, today this cup of tea is my apology to you. Don't compare yourself to me."

Xie Jie was familiar with her temperament, pushed the teacup, and said flatly: "Nothing to show courteousness to, either adultery or stealing. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Yun Zhuo just wanted to speak, but when she raised her eyes, she touched Xie Jie's faint eyes. After thinking about it, she felt that it would be better not to speak just to be on the safe side.After all, the time between the two of them is still long, and she doesn't believe that there is nothing she can do to help Xie Jie. When the time comes, she will ask Xie Jie to cook a plate of spicy shrimp tails for her. Isn't it better than this time? Is it easy to admit mistakes with your tail between your legs?

Thinking of this, she smiled slyly, and put down the tea cup: "Where are you talking? Don't let my conscience find out, realize that it is not easy for you as an elder, and make a serious apology?"

Another elder.

Xie Jie pinched the center of his eyebrows, feeling his head hurt.

"It's easy to say an apology. What about the gift you paid for? Why didn't I see it?"

Yun Zhuo:? ? ?
Yun Zhuo: But I just mentioned it casually, isn't the point of this sentence an apology?

However, due to her good self-cultivation, she did not say this sentence, but chose to take off the... money bag on her body.

This is no ordinary money bag.

This is an empty money bag.
