Chapter 48
I know her thoughts, she knows mine
"What are you talking about?"
"you……"
Xiao Yue looked at Fu Xunzhou, then at his sleeves that were rolled up to reveal his arms, and finally at his skillful movements of collecting the dishes and wiping the table, and was stunned.
"How did you..."
Should she ask me why I didn't leave, or why I was helping her collect the dishes and wipe the table again?
Fu Xunzhou understood what she meant and didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "I finished dealing with the things on hand while resting at home, and now I really have nothing to do."
Xiao Yue: “…”
So you came to help?
It really seems familiar.
But this time was different from before. Before, the two of them were the boss and the diner, and Fu Xunzhou was not suitable to help in any way; now, the two of them were partners with equal relations.
So what does this mean? The partner comes to the store in person to help with cleaning?
That’s not all. Just as Xiao Yue was lost in thought, Duan Lin’s voice came from a distance.
"Master Fu!"
"Madam Xiao!"
Xiao Yue turned around and watched Duan Lin drive the carriage to the door and take out several boxes of medium size from the carriage.
She had a vague idea in her mind, what was inside was...
"Put the silver aside, I'll pack it up first." Fu Xunzhou took a look and ordered in a flat tone.
"Okay!"
Duan Lin was a wage earner, so he was not surprised to hear this, he even laughed out loud.
Xiao Yue: “…”
Yes, with a monthly salary of two hundred taels, of course I have to obey my boss in everything.
But when Xiao Yue looked at Fu Xunzhou who continued to clean the yard, a sentence popped into his mind.
——Paying a deposit of three thousand taels to a partner to clean a store and take away the dirty dishes, is this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality?
In short, when Xiao Yue was struggling over whether to interrupt Fu Xunzhou, Fu Xunzhou had already quickly cleaned up the remaining two tables.
If it weren't for his temperament and stature, someone who didn't know him would have thought he was a shop assistant.
Seeing him looking around trying to find anywhere that was not cleaned, Xiao Yue walked forward with a complicated expression.
Fang Sanhong, who was watching this scene from the side, wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xiao Yue prepared lunch boxes every day these days, so he naturally explained the reason to her.
Fang Sanhong could tell that there was something hidden, but she didn't care. She felt that it was a blessing from heaven and that the fact that she could get so much money showed that she was not short of money.
There were not many people around today, so Su Xiaoxiao pulled her aside and spoke something mysteriously, summing it up in one sentence.
——Sister Xiao is so nice, it’s natural for someone to like her!
Fang Sanhong was stunned. Although Su Xiaoxiao did not explain it completely, considering that Fu Xunzhou used to stay in the store every day and that he could now spend so much money just to buy food... she suddenly realized.
At the same time, Fang Sanhong felt that the matter was not simple, or she felt from the bottom of her heart that the other party had another purpose, so she did not point out the topic that could have been continued just now.
Look, at this moment, Fang Sanhong looked at Fu Xunzhou's skilled appearance, and it was obvious that he had practiced privately.
But if he really meant it, would he rely on practicing these techniques to win favor? Who could come up with this?
Fang Sanhong no longer felt that it was a pie in the sky, but rather... the sky was falling!
On this side, Xiao Yue was persuading Fu Xunzhou that he really didn't need help.
But Fu Xunzhou was very confident this time and ended the topic with a sentence "Being too lazy affects digestion and is bad for your health."
Xiao Yue fell silent, feeling that there was some truth in what he said.
Then when she saw Duan Lin asking her where she put the silver, she became more convinced of this idea.
"Please put it in the front room first."
It really makes sense!
Big clients spend money to come here to treat anorexia. What's wrong with the body doing some digestive activities after a meal?
That makes so much sense!
Fu Xunzhou looked at her relaxed and happy eyebrows, and his heart moved: "By the way, has anything strange happened these days?"
Something strange?
Xiao Yue withdrew his gaze and realized that he was talking about the days when he was away, and whether anything similar to what happened to Master Zheng had happened.
"No." Xiao Yue replied: "It was the Jixiang Restaurant next door that was closed down. Not only did they use fake ingredients, they also mixed in unfresh ingredients."
Fu Xunzhou nodded: "Li Ji has also been closed down. The person I brought back last time revealed a lot. Li Ji not only uses fake goods and condones diners to bully women, but also privately engages in business that is prohibited today."
Not only Li's, but half of the shops in Liuyun City were also implicated in the investigation. Now they cannot escape the scrutiny.
However, Fu Xunzhou did not say anything about this. He just sneered at this mess, saying that it was closely related to the previous city lord.
"Li Ji was closed down?"
Xiao Yue was surprised when he heard this, especially since the "person he took back" was obviously Master Zheng.
Before she could ask in detail, even more surprising things were yet to come.
"As for the man surnamed Zheng, he bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil things. He is the big boss in a business that is strictly prohibited." Fu Xunzhou's voice was cold.
Duan Lin, who had just finished moving the silver, echoed: "That's right, the government will not let this kind of person go, and he will have a hard time for the rest of his life. The city lord has already issued a clear order!"
Xiao Yue was amazed this time: "I heard from Sister Sanhong that the lord of Liuyun City is new and he is indeed resolute and decisive."
She didn't doubt how Fu Xunzhou knew all these things. Not to mention that Duan Lin lived next door and worked for him. Wouldn't he have connections in the government?
Anyway, Xiao Yue was happy to see it happen. These things were like making an example of someone in West Street and South Street to scare the monkeys. Coupled with the increasing influence of Yue Ting's self-help, the completion of the fame bar was just around the corner.
Not a dream!
——
After that day, Xiao Yue could see Fu Xunzhou every day.
He no longer sits quietly, but takes the initiative to help, such as passing side dishes to customers, reminding them which dishes are almost finished, etc.
As for adding more dishes, Xiao Yue didn't let Fu Xunzhou do it. At most, when the Bobo chicken skewers were hot, he would help bring out another portion.
Otherwise, it would really be like a worker. Not only did Xiao Yue not pay him a salary, but he also had to sleep with a pile of money under the bed at night. It was really embarrassing.
Speaking of which, there was really a lot of money in those boxes, packed tightly and shining brightly.
Xiao Yue used to have no feelings about real gold and silver in ancient times, but when he took it back to his room that night and opened the box, his eyes were almost blinded by the light.
For this purpose, she specially hired someone to reinforce the back door, and also did a simple repair on the entire exterior of the self-service store, making it look a lot cleaner.
As for other measures, Xiao Yue was not worried at all. After all, she had a security system.
It took Xiao Yue several days to finally feel the reality that she had become a small wealthy person. When she saw Fu Xunzhou helping her clean up the yard after closing the store every day, she felt extremely moved.
Because he even helped to thread the skewers!
"Xiao Yue, is this true?"
That afternoon, Fu Xunzhou sat next to Xiao Yue and carefully strung the beads. When he found something he couldn't put on, he would ask for help.
Xiao Yue came over and pointed out: "This, you have to string it through there so it won't fall off..."
"I see." Fu Xunzhou nodded and looked at her: "You know a lot."
Xiao Yue was happy: "You learn very quickly, but it's useless to praise me, you still can't eat it."
"...Okay, I'll listen to you."
Fu Xunzhou had no choice but to give up this idea, even though he had been craving for Bobo Chicken since he came back to the store.
But Xiao Yue is very responsible. After all, Fu Xunzhou only knows that he can eat the food she cooks, and she doesn't know whether he can be cured. However, she finds out in advance through the system.
Well, since she has taken the money, she must be strict and provide good treatment. Fu Xunzhou must not eat anything too spicy at the moment.
Want to taste peppercorns?
No way!
Fang Sanhong on the side: "..."
In the past, she and Xiaoyue would chat about family matters while putting on the skewers, but now she had to listen to the two of them chatting, frowning as she listened.
Let’s start: There’s nothing you can’t learn how to string a string!
Middle: So you wanted to eat Bobo Chicken?
Finally: Why is Xiaoyue so concerned?
It was not until the three of them finished dinner and Fu Xunzhou left that Fang Sanhong witnessed Xiao Yue seeing him off and coming back. She was about to speak when she heard Xiao Yue sigh.
"Fu Xunzhou is a very nice person, worth making friends with!"
Fang Sanhong: “…”
Okay, no need to say more.
*
On the other side, Fu Xunzhou got on the carriage and was about to close his eyes to rest when he saw Duan Lin's hesitant look.
"Sir." Duan Lin couldn't help but said, "You've been coming back later and later these days..."
It was okay before, at least it wasn’t dark, but now it’s almost dark before we go back!
Duan Lin understood why Fu Xunzhou did this. After all, he could only eat the food cooked by Madam Xiao.
But this diligence...
Duan Lin also saw the hidden thoughts of his master from the last incident. He was secretly shocked and worried at the same time.
Knowing that, Fu Xunzhou suddenly said at this moment: "I know her feelings, and she knows my thoughts. What's wrong with me helping her with her business?"
"ah?!"
Duan Lin was so frightened that he almost stopped the carriage on the side of the road. He quickly looked back with a dazed look on his face.
“…Wh, when did it happen?”
So fast?
Madam Xiao knew what her master was thinking!
Fu Xunzhou's tone remained unchanged: "It has not been stated explicitly, but we all know it. Besides, she is now busy with the store, and my illness is also recovering."
So now is not a good time. Later, Fu Xunzhou will definitely find a chance to make it clear.
Xiao Yue is carefree and casual, maybe he doesn't care much, but...
As night gradually fell, the temperature at the tips of Fu Xunzhou's ears rose and a curve appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Duan Lin, who was driving the carriage in front, was still in disbelief. He should have believed the young master's words unconditionally, but why did he feel that something was wrong?
He had to tell what was wrong, but Duan Lin couldn't find it for a moment.
Madam Xiao, do you really know what the young master is thinking?
——
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Xiao Yue finally understood why the customers said that summer in Liuyun City was not easy.
She was awakened by the heat.
But this is only early summer!
Looking at the sun that was slightly burning the skin early in the morning, Xiao Yue was silent for a moment, wiped the sweat off his face, and turned back to make breakfast.
I added a breakfast this morning, boiled eggs.
The difference is that Xiao Yue cooked it in two pots, one for a quarter of an hour and the other for half a quarter of an hour.
One is well-done, the other is runny.
Xiao Yue naturally likes hard-boiled eggs, but customers are different, so the self-service model must give them choices.
It is not difficult to boil eggs. Steam is coming out of the two pots. They are cooked quickly and placed next to the buns.
There were already quite a lot of food in the store now. When Xiao Yue returned to the kitchen, he took a look around the yard.
