Chapter 157
Because Luo Zhi had come and said he could help tomorrow, Xiao Yue taught him how to use it in the backyard...
Because Luo Zhi had arrived and said he could come to help tomorrow, Xiao Yue taught him how to use the dessert baking machine in the backyard.
Even though Luo Zhi had never seen these things before, he seemed to be naturally proficient in them and learned them in a short while.
Not to mention the ingredients for making desserts, he can tell where to put them just by smelling them.
Xiao Yue thought of the cake she had tried before, and naturally felt confident in Luo Zhi's craftsmanship.
"Then you will be in charge of the dessert area from now on. We just launched a new product today, and the next one will be in a few days. Tell me in advance what dessert you want to make, and I will see if it's suitable."
"Okay." Luo Zhi nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely make a dessert that will satisfy you."
Xiao Yue laughed: "It's not enough for me to be satisfied, the customers must be satisfied too, but I believe in you!"
Luo Zhi was stunned by these words, and suddenly moved closer to her: "Thank you, Ayue."
Xiao Yue glanced at his focused eyes, and before she could step away, the backyard door was opened.
"Madam Xiao?"
The person who came was Lu Ran. When he stepped in and saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Luo Zhi with a frown on his face.
Xiao Yue just wanted to step back, but then he realized that it was almost dark and the agreed time had long passed. No wonder Lu Ran came to him.
She patted her head and said, "Since you are here, let's have dinner first. We will probably be late today."
Lu Ran nodded and walked to her side, but his eyes were always on Luo Zhi.
"By the way, this is Luo Zhi, a friend I met at Linxiping..." Xiao Yue introduced him and said that he would come to the South Street branch to help in the future.
She also introduced Lu Ran to Luo Zhi, saying that she was her good sister and ran a home-style restaurant on West Street.
"Xiao Ran." Luo Zhi greeted, a little shyly: "Please take care of me in the future."
Lu Ran paused and nodded in response.
The three of them were in the buffet restaurant. They had no worries about what to eat for dinner. They just ordered some spicy hotpot and ate it.
After dinner, Xiao Yue rushed to the tailor shop.
Luo Zhi lived in the opposite place, which was not on his way, so he said goodbye to them at the back door intersection.
Watching the carriage go away, the smile on Luo Zhi's face gradually faded.
Very good, still so stupid.
…
Xiao Yue was busy all night and still a little insomniac when he returned home. As expected, he got up late the next day.
After struggling to wash up, she headed straight for the South Street branch and arrived just as it was opening.
"Luo Zhi." Xiao Yue went in from the back door, looking for Luo Zhi's figure.
After all, I'm a new member, so I have to introduce myself to the sisters, otherwise there will be misunderstandings.
As soon as Xiao Yue finished speaking, he saw Luo Zhi and Xiao Nuo coming from the hall together. They were talking about something and seemed quite happy.
A sister also came out from the kitchen. Luo Zhi greeted her and then saw Xiao Yue.
"Ayue!"
He walked over, not looking uncomfortable at all.
Xiao Yue glanced at Luo Zhi, who was wearing a black apron that was different from the ones in the store, and smiled, "You're late. It seems that you get along well with the sisters in the store?"
"Everyone is easy to get along with and takes good care of me." Luo Zhi turned to her, his voice even gentler than before: "After all, I can't trouble you for everything. I have to get familiar with the store as soon as possible."
Xiao Nuo at the side said: "Sister Xiao, you don't know, Luo Ge came early in the morning, introduced himself to us and then got busy together!"
Xiao Yue didn't expect that Luo Zhi, who was so slow to warm up before, is now a bit outgoing.
But it's also a good thing. If I immerse myself in work, earn more money and meet more new friends, I will probably forget the sad things gradually.
Luo Zhi chuckled and turned around to continue working in the store.
——
The first snow in Liuyun City has not yet fallen, but the weather is getting colder and colder.
Xiao Yue reluctantly put on another piece of clothing and wrapped Xiaoju up like a little dumpling. After thinking about it, he asked the housekeeper to prepare some more hand warmers.
Everyone in the store has one, including Luo Zhi.
She found that in just three days, Luo Zhi knew everything about the store and got along very well with everyone.
Except for not knowing how to handle meat ingredients, I can get the hang of everything else pretty quickly.
But Luo Zhiben is a pastry chef, so he didn't force it.
As the store was about to close that day, Xiao Yue rubbed his sore shoulders, said something to Hua Jinjin, and prepared to leave.
Seeing her so anxious, Luo Zhi couldn't help but stop her and asked, "Have you been busy with other things these days?"
"yes."
Xiao Yue answered casually, but just as he stepped out, he remembered that there was no water in the car, so he went back to get some.
Luo Zhi didn't hear her last words. He clenched his hands at his side and lowered his voice: "You still have to take care of your health. By the way, I've been here for so many days and have always wanted to invite you to my home. I asked Jin Jin and she said you like Qing Hongying. The flowers in my yard are in full bloom..."
But the voice behind him was too low, and Xiao Yue, who was getting water from the drinking fountain, couldn't hear it clearly and looked at him puzzled.
"What do I like?"
You will know soon enough.
Luo Zhi said this in his heart, looking at her with a burning gaze, his breathing became rapid, and he smiled and said, "Nothing, I'll take you out, and look forward to seeing you next time."
Xiao Yue was a little surprised by these words, but did not think much about it. Her mind was filled with the joy of success and she did not notice the determined look in the man's eyes when she turned around.
The carriage was parked not far from the back door, and the coachman, who was used to her schedule, would usually drive over in advance to wait for her.
However, Xiao Yue felt that the coachman seemed to be a little slow today. He glanced at the driver who was looking down and asked, "I heard something wrong in your voice yesterday. Did you catch a cold?"
The driver said nothing, just nodded.
"Have you seen a doctor?" Xiao Yue stepped on the footrest under the carriage and said as he climbed up: "Or I can let you rest for a few days, otherwise your condition will get worse...ah!"
The carriage suddenly started moving. Xiao Yue, who had not yet stood firm, cried out in surprise, and his body rolled directly into the carriage due to inertia.
At the critical moment, a pair of hands grabbed her and pulled Xiao Yue off the carriage.
Xiao Yue felt weightless, the sound of wind passed by his ears, and in an instant he fell to the ground together with the person who was holding him.
The carriage did not stop, and the driver drove it straight forward like crazy.
Luo Zhi, who was closing the back door, paused and stared at the carriage in disbelief.
Jiang Yi, who just heard the noise, pushed open the door and ran out. He looked around and immediately used his lightness skills to catch up with him.
Xiao Yue's pupils were blank and his heart was beating hard.
"girl?"
A familiar and old voice came to her ears. He wanted to help her up, but he had no strength.
Xiao Yue came back to his senses and turned around to find that the person who had just grabbed him was the old lady he had seen last time.
"Ayue!"
At this time, Luo Zhi at the back door seemed to have just reacted and hurried forward to help them up.
Xiao Yue recovered a little and quickly checked the body of the old lady who had fallen to the ground with him: "Are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?"
"I'm fine." The old lady picked up her crutches and stood up again. She brushed off the dust on her body and looked at her worriedly: "But you, girl, have you offended anyone?"
Xiao Yue was stunned: "Why do you say that?"
"I noticed something was wrong with the driver just now." The old lady explained angrily, "He kept looking here and there, as if he was on the lookout for someone passing by, but he didn't pay any attention to me, an old guy..."
It turned out that the old lady was waiting for Xiao Yue here on purpose. She had just noticed that something was wrong with the driver, so she reminded him when she saw her come out.
As a result, the old lady's voice collided with Xiao Yue's voice, so he could only rush forward with inconvenient steps and pull her down in time.
Otherwise, looking at the way the driver is driving the horse so hard, there is no telling where it will go.
The old lady was still terrified: "Luckily the girl didn't get on, otherwise how would the carriage get off so fast?"
Unless one has practiced martial arts, no ordinary person can have such skills.
"Thank you for saving me." Xiao Yue was naturally afraid and worried about Jiang Yi who was chasing after him. She asked Luo Zhi beside her, "Which direction did the carriage go?"
"I..." Luo Zhi paused, lowered his eyes and said, "I didn't pay attention. I was also scared just now. I'm sorry that I didn't react in time."
"It's okay." Xiao Yue sighed. He didn't blame him, but he just couldn't understand what was going on.
The coachman who drove the carriage was introduced by Zhang Feiyun. He was always cautious in his work and usually talked a lot.
In fact, Xiao Yue felt a little strange during the conversation just now, because under normal circumstances, the driver would definitely make some jokes and chat a little, and would not remain silent.
But now...
Is he doing this for money?
So who was the person who gave the driver the money and what did he want to do? Put her in the carriage, take her away, and then what?
What is the purpose?
Xiao Yue frowned, and after a moment of confusion, he gave up thinking and placed his hopes on Jiang Yi.
She is from the City Lord's Mansion. Her skills are definitely better than those of ordinary people. If we capture her and interrogate her, everything will become clear.
"Grandma, I'd better take you to the clinic first." Xiao Yue collected his thoughts and prepared to go see the doctor together.
The old man's body cannot withstand a fall. Even though he looks fine now, there may be some unseen condition.
"That's really not necessary!"
The old lady subconsciously refused, but finally couldn't stand Xiao Yue's insistence and followed her to the clinic.
Before leaving, Xiao Yue asked Luo Zhi, who was about to follow, to stay, otherwise Jiang Yi might come back later, or Lu Ran would come looking for him and they wouldn't know where he was.
And there were probably a few sisters in the store who hadn't gone home yet. It was just that the store was big and they didn't hear the noise just now, but I still had to go and inform them.
Luo Zhi nodded in agreement and watched their backs go away, his eyes becoming gloomy.
That idiot!
*
The clinic on South Street was not far from here, and Xiao Yue quickly brought the old lady to see the doctor for a check-up.
The old man is always nervous when facing the doctor and answers each question one by one.
Fortunately, she didn't have any serious health problems in the end, but she caught a cold. The doctor asked her helplessly how long she had been delaying.
The old lady hesitated and didn't give an exact time, so the doctor sighed and went to get the medicine.
Xiao Yue took her to the side to wait, and learned that the old lady's last name was "Tang."
After chatting for a few sentences, Xiao Yue suddenly remembered that he had not asked her what she came to see him for, so he asked out of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Tang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Last time the girl bought that cake for my granddaughter, she said it didn't taste the same as before and she didn't pester me to eat it anymore because the doctor said...she didn't have much time left and couldn't be cured. She just wanted to go back home to see her friends and catch butterflies and make wreaths with them."
"But I thought that the girl had helped me so much, so I sold the ancestral jade pendant and came to you to pay you back. But then I ran into this. I didn't expect that my old bones could be so agile. Fortunately, the girl is fine!"
