The happy life of the landlady

Chapter 389

Xu Lijuan, Fu Jianbai, Yu Jiayi, and Lin Yuwen led a group of four, led by the lobby manager, up the escalator from the aisle on the left side of the lobby on the first floor, which was specially partitioned by a screen.

At this moment, even Xu Lijuan, who had been here a few times, once again felt that her eyes were not enough, and her nose seemed to be failing. Decoration, also because it has been lingering on the tip of the nose, every time I want to explore seriously, I find that the tempting smells that make my mouth water suddenly disappear, and then a feeling of depression and dissatisfaction arises in my heart in vain. Will smell this fragrance again...

Each private room on the second floor of Jiudinghuang is named after a flower, and the interior layout also gives people a feeling of elegance, grace, nobility, or indifference according to the meaning of the flowers.

Just like the Furong Pavilion chosen by Xu Lijuan, after opening the door, there is a faint fragrance of hibiscus that refreshes the heart and spleen, and the decoration inside has an antique style. In other words, with the eyesight of Xu Lijuan, Fu Jianbai, Yu Jiayi, and Lin Yuwen, it is natural to see that although these items are not all expensive antiques, there are also two or three rare treasures scattered throughout the period. In an instant, people have a feeling that they have traveled through time and space, arrived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and will experience the refreshments carefully made by the imperial chef in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

This kind of private room is not something that ordinary people can book. Even Xu Lijuan, the little princess of the Xu family, if she hadn't reported her name, she would have known in private from a secret channel that Xu Lijuan had obtained the " The behind-the-scenes boss of the "Black Gold Card" nodded in agreement, and it was impossible not to invite friends and friends to taste the special snacks known to top circles under the leadership of such noble people as Mr. Xu, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi.

——The so-called specialty dim sum is not only the special dishes of the heirs of the imperial chef, but also does not accept orders from anyone, and everything is made according to the mood of the imperial chef that day, even if the person's status is very valuable, there is no exception.

Because Xu Lijuan, Fu Jianbai, Yu Jiayi and Lin Yuwen are here for the first time, in line with the spirit and attitude of "service", the manager of the lobby specially handed over a prepared copy with a particularly beautiful binding. The menu is drooling, and I made up my mind to remind Xu Lijuan and others without any trace when they order, so that Xu Lijuan and others can become repeat customers of this teahouse as soon as possible.

Although it is said that Xu Lijuan's frequent presence alone is enough to add glory to her amazing resume, but no one will dislike having too many valuable guests...

Xu Lijuan smiled, and silently accepted the lobby manager's concealed gesture of goodwill. After receiving the menu from the lobby manager, she and Yu Jiayi got together to study the menu.

"Tingzi porridge, dry fried beef, barbecued pork buns, shrimp dumplings, crispy shrimp intestines, dry steamed siu mai, steamed pork ribs, beef balls, steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce, glutinous rice chicken, pink fruit, carrot cake, coconut milk and red beans Cake, Honeycomb Cake, Sand Rice Balls, Fragrant Durian Crisp..."

The lobby manager silently remembered Shan. If she hadn't met all kinds of guests over the years, she had already cultivated a strong will to not be surprised when encountering anything, and she would have shown a surprised expression.Who made Xu Lijuan and Yu Jiayi seem to order randomly, but several dim sum items were not listed in the menu at all!
——These refreshments are exactly the special refreshments of the Imperial Chef of the Nine Cauldrons.Even those who often come to Jiudinghuang Tea House to eat, but if they are not really familiar with Jiudinghuang's internal rules, they don't know about it. However, Xu Lijuan and Yu Jiayi, two young girls who came to the door for the first time, are familiar with all this, how can they Don't be confused!
Fortunately, soon, the lobby manager guessed that Xu Lijuan and Yu Jiayi had accepted the advance guidance of the family elders from the special identities of Xu Lijuan and Yu Jiayi, coupled with Xu Lijuan's advance reservation.

So, the lobby manager suppressed the inexplicable emotion that suddenly appeared in her heart, and when Xu Lijuan and Yu Jiayi looked up to confirm the menu, they smiled and said, "Miss Xu, please wait a moment."

Then, the lobby manager put away the menu, opened the door and left, but she didn't know that at this moment, a quick smile flashed across Xu Lijuan's slightly drooping eyes.

In the previous life, this professional elite with a scheming and skill that did not match his age and appearance, but among Lin Haocang's many confidante, Lin Haocang favored him the most, and Lin Haocang placed high hopes on him, and even won the Starlight Group from Du Mengqi. Also entrusted to her "good wife"...

The so-called "virtuous helper" means that no matter what the situation is, even if the person suddenly falls from a high altitude into the quagmire, the attitude towards the other party is the same as before.After all, since ancient times, there have been sayings "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi" and "don't bully young people into poverty". So, who can be sure that those who fall into the dust for a while will never have a chance to turn around?

Regardless of why the lobby manager in the previous life wanted to "climb" to the high branch of Lin Haocang, to be the "confidante" who was glorious on the surface but dirty on the inside, in short, Lin Haocang today can no longer stand up, and even the Xu family in the previous life Downfall, Xu Lijuan never ridiculed Xu Lijuan after her downfall, let alone the lobby manager who never made trouble for Xu Lijuan, in this life, relying on her heart and calculations, she must be able to find an excellent marriage for herself.

Xu Lijuan has always been a person who "repays kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred", so now, she chooses Jiudinghuang Tea House to treat Yu Jiayi to dinner, but it is just to pave the way for the lobby manager...

Fu Jianbai turned his head and glanced at the empty eyes. Xu Lijuan, who had already fallen into her own thoughts, picked up the teapot and poured tea for several people.

"Lieutenant General Fu, we can do it ourselves." Lin Yuwen, who was stared at by Yu Jiayi, rubbed his nose, stood up, and was about to take the teapot from Fu Jianbai, but sighed inwardly: Look at that picture of Fu Jianbai just now The particularly natural posture shows how many times Fu Jianbai has done this kind of movement on weekdays, so that Xu Lijuan can casually pick up the tea, bring it to her lips, take a sip, and then put it back on the table.

Such a comparison immediately highlights the shortcomings of Lin Yuwen, who claims to have been with Yu Jiayi's childhood sweetheart for nearly 20 years, but still wants to hold Jiayi to the top of his heart to take care of his pet.

Fu Jianbai shook his head and filled up the tea for Yu Jiayi and Lin Yuwen without any explanation.

Soon, the snacks ordered by Xu Lijuan and Yu Jiayi were delivered one after another, and Fu Jianbai, who was sitting on Xu Lijuan's right, stretched out his chopsticks with a very calm expression as if he was at home, and put the dish that Xu Lijuan liked All the pastries were placed in the bowls and plates in front of Xu Lijuan, and then Yu Jiayi and Lin Yuwen were stunned, dipped each part of the rice roll evenly with sauce, and then sent In front of Xu Lijuan.

Afterwards, Fu Jianbai casually stuck out his chopsticks and picked up a beef ball placed in front of him. After eating it in two or three bites, he stuck his chopsticks towards the pork bun again. After taking a bite, he tilted his head to look at Xu Lijuan, and said: "The barbecued pork buns here are delicious, would you like to have one?"

"Okay." Xu Lijuan nodded, and let Fu Jianbai pick up a pork bun with chopsticks and put it in his bowl, then took a sip, and immediately narrowed his eyes with enjoyment: "It's delicious, no wonder it's so delicious." The reputation of the tea house is not obvious, and the price is expensive, but it is still very popular."

Fu Jianbai said softly: "Next time, we will come again."

"Yeah." Xu Lijuan responded, took a piece of siu mai and put it in Fu Jianbai's bowl, and said with a smile, "The siu mai tastes good too, you should try one too."

Fu Jianbai nodded, and began to taste the siu mai, but he did not forget to say: "The taste is a bit undercooked, and it feels different from the char siew buns I ate just now, and it doesn't seem like it was made by the same pastry chef."

"Bingo!" Xu Lijuan raised her thumbs up, not letting Fu Jianbai become more and more fond of food under her own training, and also developed a sensitive tongue, "It is said that the reason why this teahouse is so popular It is extremely prosperous, because the chef is not only the heir of the imperial chef, but also has hundreds of years of inheritance from his generation."

The last sentence was said by Xu Lijuan to Yu Jiayi and Lin Yuwen. Not only that, Xu Lijuan did not forget to blink at Yu Jiayi, who was in a daze and couldn't recover, and teased Said: "Xiaoyi, everyone is so familiar, don't be polite!"

"Of course not." I have to say that Yu Jiayi's ambition is also very strong.At this moment, she not only quickly withdrew those outward thoughts, but also had time to respond to Xu Lijuan's teasing words: "It's rare that Lieutenant General Fu treats guests, so I have to slaughter them severely, so that I can make up for the time I have spent. Wounded hearts you've kept in the dark."

When talking about this, Yu Jiayi did not forget to cast Xu Lijuan a sideways glance, caressed her chest, and vividly interpreted the grievance and sadness that Xu Lijuan had been concealing, which made Xu Lijuan almost choke without noticing it. Living.

"cough……"

"Xiaojuan, drink some water."

Fu Jianbai hastily put down his chopsticks, patted Xu Lijuan's back with his left hand, and handed the teacup to Xu Lijuan's lips with his right hand, looking at Xu Lijuan's pitiful little face whose cheeks were flushed from choking and tears were streaming down, her slightly drooping eyes His eyes were full of displeasure.

Fu Jianbai glanced lightly at Yu Jiayi, who knew that he had gotten into trouble and wanted to stand up, but was held down by Lin Yuwen in time. Although he continued to sit in the chair, he looked at Xu Lijuan's Yu Jiayi with worry and fear on his face. He felt that Yu Jiayi had a little conscience, and because Xu Lijuan valued Yu Jiayi very much, he had to let Jiayi go this time.

However, it is said that "the father's debt is repaid by the son." On the other hand, Lin Yuwen is Yu Jiayi's boyfriend, so it is also feasible to take it on Yu Jiayi's behalf...

"..." At this moment, Lin Yuwen only felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. His scalp was numb and his back was sweating. The muscles on Yichao's arm in front of Fu Jianbai also instantly stiffened, not to mention the unknowingly tense bones of his body.

Yu Jiayi keenly sensed that something was wrong, so she held Lin Yuwen's arm with her backhand, straightened her chest, and looked at Fu Jianbai squarely, all she had to do was tell Fu Jianbai to do something to her, so as not to hurt the person next to her. innocent people.

Xu Lijuan, who was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere among the three of them, moved her lips and wanted to say something, but because of Fu Jianbai's complex eyes of displeasure, worry and fear, she had to press down the words in her throat. Holding Fu Jianbai's hand, he drank the whole cup of tea and felt that his burning throat was relieved.

After that, Fu Jianbo picked up the wet towel on the table, gently wiped off the water droplets on Xu Lijuan's lips, and smoothed the hair that floated to her cheeks for Xu Lijuan, before Lin Yuwen and Yu Jiayi could get in the way. These two have been staring at him and Xu Lijuan with scorching eyes, and kept brushing the presence of two huge light bulbs in front of him and Xu Lijuan. The fragile and small appearance of "Pear Blossom with Rain" was aroused by the domineering and insolent emotions that almost became mad.

Xu Lijuan didn't know that Fu Jianbai could comprehend so many charming emotions in a short period of time, so she just smiled and said: "Xiaoyi, Big Brother Fu is a real local tyrant. I support you in killing him in both spirit and action!"

"Yeah." Looking at Fu Jianbai's meaningful eyes, Yu Jiayi suppressed the unhesitating and resentful feelings of "my little sister was taken away by wolves like this" in her heart, and reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth , said: "Okay, I'm never soft on local tyrants, one meal is definitely not enough, no matter what, it should be more than ten or twenty meals?!"

After a pause, Yu Jiayi didn't forget to add: "Xiaojuan, don't feel bad..." Otherwise, she would summon a lot of people to kill Fu Jianbai for a hundred tons, and kill Fu Jianbai, a wild animal. The wolf peeled off a layer of skin!
"Okay." Xu Lijuan responded with a smile, and said: "In the past few months, I have been wandering the streets and found many little-known gourmet shops. When the time comes, I will take you to taste them together."

"Yeah." Yu Jiayi nodded heavily, smiling until her eyes narrowed into a line, full of Xu Lijuan thinking about her own happiness and joy at all times.

"..." Lin Yuwen couldn't help but looked up at Fu Jianbai, and he could sense the displeasure in the other's heart in the eyes that looked at each other, and this displeasure was all because the other's girlfriend took away his own girlfriend's soul Depressed and maddened.

——A person's energy is limited. On weekdays, except for work and rest, in addition to being with his girlfriend to further enhance the relationship between each other, he also has to visit his girlfriend's family from time to time to check his favor. There is still more time to deal with this kind of difficult girlfriend's "best friend"!

However, soon, Lin Yuwen suppressed these emotions again, and even raised his head rarely, giving Fu Jianbai a small sympathetic look.

After all, no matter how you say it, compared to Xu Lijuan, who likes to stay in the capital and never moves if she has nothing important to do, Yu Jiayi, who also likes to travel, is much easier. With the beautiful scenery and special snacks in different places as bait, Yu Jiayi can be easily abducted as usual, so that Yu Jiayi can stay away from the sight of Xu Lijuan, an eyesore woman, and enjoy herself to the fullest Sweet little days with Yu Jiayi.

This is the best embodiment of "the one who is close to the water gets the moon first".

In comparison, Fu Jianbo, who has been stationed in the army for many years and may not be able to take a family leave all year round, is more miserable...

In this way, in the past year, Yu Jiayi, who had no idea about food, suddenly became a member of the family of food researchers, and his purse has been repeatedly flattened this year. Think carefully , it’s really nothing!At least, because of this, he spent a lot more time with Yu Jiayi in private, and he really saw those cute "little tempers" of Yu Jiayi, and the friendship between him and Yu Jiayi deepened a bit because of this... …

However, Lin Yuwen's good mood didn't last long, because Xu Lijuan stood up again and again, just to pick up food for Yu Jiayi, and told Yu Jiayi softly what these pastries were made of. How to taste can really taste their deliciousness.

If it's just that, that's all, but Xu Lijuan kindly invited Yu Jiayi to taste those special snacks in the capital together. The mouth that was as bright as a lotus flower and said that even gods and Buddhas would be tempted quickly aroused Yu Jiayi's yearning Yu Jiayi's eyes filled with anticipation and hope, and she nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Lin Yuwen: "..." Hey!Isn't it too shameless to openly "abduct" your own fiancée in front of him as a fiancé? !

Glancing at Fu Jianbai who was sitting quietly, as if he didn't see or hear anything, as always, Fu Jianbai was holding the cake for Xu Lijuan. Lin Yuwen's eyes flashed, and he thought of a plan, saying: "Xiaojuan, it is rare for General Fu to take a vacation. Back in Beijing, you should spend more time with him, the two super bright light bulbs Xiaoyi and I won’t hinder your eyes.”

"En." This time, Fu Jianbai finally raised his head and looked at Lin Yuwen. At the intersection of their eyes, they quickly unified the battle line of "Xu Lijuan and Yu Jiayi must not be allowed to contact each other in private".

"Xiaojuan, I will return to the team shortly after the annual vacation is over." Even Lin Yuwen and Yu Jiayi heard the grievance and helplessness in the words, so it goes without saying that Fu Jianbo took the expectation and hope Xu Lijuan stared at her, and felt "stressed" in an instant.

Although Fu Jianbai had already made sufficient psychological preparations for Fu Jianbai not to stay in the capital for too long the moment he healed the hidden wounds in his body, but upon hearing these words, Xu Lijuan was still stunned for a moment, and even more so in her heart. An emotion called "loss" and "gloom" emerged.

However, Xu Lijuan, who was born in a "military family" and has already seen the scenes of gathering less and more in military families, quickly suppressed these emotions that should not be in her heart. After picking up a piece of coconut milk and red bean cake for Fu Jianbai, Said: "When the time comes, I will see you off."

"En." Fu Jianbai nodded, still staring at Xu Lijuan without blinking, quietly waiting for what Xu Lijuan had to say.

"I'll text you every day and call me back if it's convenient for you."

"Yeah." During this period of getting along, Fu Jianbai, who has already figured out Xu Lijuan's character by half or sixty percent, rolled happily, but the expression on his face did not change at all, and he still stared quietly. With Xu Lijuan.

Sure enough, as Fu Jianbai expected, Xu Lijuan added again: "I will send you something once a week."

"I don't ask for more than the fourth brother, but if the fourth brother has any good things, I will have them too." Fu Jianbai said slowly, thinking secretly: At that time, let's see how Xu Deyao can show off in front of him Those special items prepared by Xiaojuan!
The so-called "good things" include not only those jams, bread and pastries that Xu Lijuan specially prepared for Xu Deyao and others that can be stored for a long time, but also photos that Xu Lijuan took when she traveled to each city, etc.

"Okay." Xu Lijuan replied with a smile, very satisfied with Fu Jianbai's "possessive desire" slowly revealed-what can love and respect me more than the person I admire, who always thinks about herself, even regardless of the presence of others, there is nothing Wouldn't it be more pleasant to take this kind of jealous behavior with one's own brother in consideration? !
However, Fu Jianbai was still not satisfied, and continued: "I don't worry about you staying in the capital alone. When I turn around, I will contact some retired comrades and ask them to come and protect you."

If Gu Wanwan hadn't called Fu Jianbai during the Chinese New Year, then Fu Jianbai would have arranged all this in private instead of speaking out in front of Yu Jiayi and Lin Yuwen.

Sure enough, as Fu Jianbo expected, whether it was Yu Jiayi who was blinded by the affectionate behavior of the two and hurriedly avoided, or watching his every move with bright eyes, he made up his mind to turn around Just apply one or two of Lin Yuwen, at this moment, a trace of thought appeared on his face.

Although she heard the meaning behind Fu Jianbai's words, Xu Lijuan didn't think that Gu Lao, Gu Qingfeng and the others who had noticed Gu Wanwan's crookedness and could no longer correct their thoughts would not take precautions against Gu Wanwan's next actions, so as to To prevent Gu Wanwan from causing an irresolvable life-and-death enemy for the Gu family when they didn't even notice.

"Brother Fu, are your comrades in arms the same as Zhang Zhigang, Qian Dong, and Zhou Xiangnan?"

"Their skills are much stronger than the three of Zhang Zhigang."

Fu Jianbai sighed secretly, and added: "They are retiring normally." Although there are many hidden injuries in the body, they are not missing arms or legs. For other reasons that cannot be explained by outsiders, these few people gave up the bright road of being sent to other troops and slowly promoted, and made the decision to retire and go home.

It's a pity that the people in the army are used to acting in a wide-ranging manner. Even if such a person has made great military achievements, he still inevitably feels a little uncomfortable with the disputes and strife in the outside world when he retires. When he was beaten up and bloody when he was acting, he had to suppress his bloody nature and live like an ordinary person whose edges and corners have been smoothed.

These people were contacted by Fu Jianbai through Zhang Zhigang and others. Knowing that they are not doing well now, coupled with the things that Gu Wanwan has done in private, Fu Jianbai gave birth to the idea of ​​bringing them to the capital to protect Xu Lijuan idea.
