Isn’t it said that money can make the devil work, let alone people?
The shopkeeper received a reward of one ingot of silver from Boss Shen Qiqi. Not to mention just memorizing the names of a few dishes, even if he was asked to memorize the 500-year history of Furong Town, he would do it without hesitation and work hard.
Hearing Shen Qiqi's instructions, the shopkeeper patted his shriveled chest and assured: "Don't worry, Fairy, it will definitely be right. I will personally serve the dishes for you when the time comes!"
He looked Shen Qiqi up and down, and chuckled, "Are you planning to eat in the guest room, or are you planning to come down and eat in the lobby?"
Seeing his meaningful smile, Shen Qiqi understood after a moment's thought. She did not give a direct answer, but also asked with a smile: "Does the shopkeeper have any good suggestions?"
The names of the dishes she just gave, to put it nicely, are "endless love", but to put it bluntly, they are so sour that they can make your teeth fall out.
Rather than saying that it is the name of a dish, it would be more accurate to say that it is the young girl's love feelings.
In addition, Xie Beiming had a handsome face like a banished immortal, so the shopkeeper must have thought that she wanted to express her love for her lover through the name of the dish.
The shopkeeper asked this question at this time, which must be to help her.
After all, the reward she just gave was quite a lot.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper chuckled and said, "It's like this, Fairy. We have a hot spring in the backyard of Fengkelai. Our owner has enclosed it and made a greenhouse. Even though it's snowing and freezing outside, it's warm like spring in the greenhouse, with the fragrance of flowers filling the air. It's perfect for young couples... well, perfect for a small gathering of friends. Fairy, do you think we should move our dining area to the greenhouse?"
The fairy lady in front of him was very generous, and since he was helping her so hard, she might be so happy that she would reward him with another big silver ingot.
What? He was just a small shopkeeper, and he actually dared to use the boss's greenhouse as a favor without permission... Who said the boss and the shopkeeper couldn't be the same person?
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, his old eyes flashed with a shrewd dark light, and he looked at Shen Qiqi with a smile.
As expected, Shen Qiqi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she took out a large silver ingot and threw it to him: "Just do as the shopkeeper says."
For cultivators like them, a large lump of gold is far less valuable than a small piece of spirit stone.
Of course, the main reason was that Shen Qiqi was not short of money. Last time she cured the evil poison from the young master of the Jinyang Jiang family, Master Jiang brought her several boxes of thank-you gifts, two of which were gold ingots.
In order to cook for her, Mr. Xie secretly practiced his cooking skills and almost burned himself to death in the kitchen. What's wrong with her repaying him with a flower house banquet?
This is called reciprocity.
Xie Beiming didn't know that he was going to attend a grand banquet, and was discussing the next plan with his senior brother Chu Ziyue in the room.
Suddenly, I felt the jade slip in my arms vibrate.
Xie Beiming stopped talking and took out the jade slip that was placed close to his body in his arms.
A line of delicate hairpin-shaped calligraphy stood neatly on the jade slip.
——Mr. Xie, have you arrived at Furong Town?
Xie Beiming looked at the words on the jade slip, his eyes softened unconsciously, he gathered his strength on his fingertips, and raised his hand to reply.
--Um.
Then he stared at the jade slip, and after waiting for a while, seeing no movement, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Just as he was about to put the jade slip away, he felt a numbness in his palm and the jade slip started moving again.
Then, a few lines of fluorescent hairpin-shaped regular script slowly emerged on the white jade plate, almost filling the entire white jade plate.
There are so many words, no wonder it takes so long to write.
The corners of Xie Beiming's mouth curled up.
Chu Ziyue, who was sitting opposite him, had just taken a big sip of tea. When he looked up and saw the corners of his mouth turned up, he was startled and almost choked to death on the tea.
He exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow, Bei Ming, you can laugh too! I haven't seen you laugh all this time, I thought you couldn't laugh... What did you see that makes you look so happy? Let me see it too."
Chu Ziyue was a carefree person with no concept of peeping. As he spoke, he stretched his neck to peek at the jade slip in Xie Beiming's hand, but the latter covered it with his sleeve and said to him seriously, "Brother, it's not good to peek at other people's letters."
Chu Ziyue: ...
If this wasn't his junior brother, and happened to be someone who suited his temperament very well, he would have definitely pinned him down and given him a beating.
Chu Ziyue smacked his lips twice and curled his lips, saying, "Tsk tsk, you're still peeping, as if I really enjoy looking at you... Okay, okay, I won't look at you. Look how nervous you are. Well, hurry up, I'm busy. I'll wait for you in bed."
Xie Beiming: ...
Young Master Xie's expression was a little chapped. He endured and endured, and finally suppressed the urge to remind him to be careful with his wording. He ignored him and moved his sleeves to look at the contents on the white jade board.
——Master Xie, do you know how much a Spirit Stone is worth? You definitely don't know, right? Well, let me tell you, a Spirit Stone is at least enough for a family of three to have a good meal every day for ten years! In other words, that "hmm" you just sent me, in one go, "hmm" used up ten years' worth of food for a family of three! Ten years' worth of food, and it's gone in an instant. What kind of wealthy family would dare to be so extravagant! So Master Xie, can we try to make the best use of things in the future... At least write a few more words!
Master Xie, who had just been frightened by Chu Ziyue and was taught from a distance not to be extravagant, said: ...It's so difficult.
He turned the jade slip over and looked at the groove behind it.
A spirit stone was embedded in the groove of the jade slip.
The same goes for the jade slip in Shen Qiqi's hand.
