Luting Canteen

Yan Ting took the boy into the bathroom, and washed his face indiscriminately first, the boy stood beside him and stared at him in bewilderment.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Ting pulled the towel and asked while wiping it. The young man quickly lowered his face and pulled his sleeves tightly. Yan Ting thought for a while and said:

"My name is Yan Ting, strict Yan, Ting in the courtyard, I opened a canteen here, what's your name?"

"Li, Li Hui."

"Li Hui, right? Even if we know each other, do you want to eat dirty or clean?"

Li Hui was taken aback for a moment, and when he understood Yan Ting's meaning, his eyes turned red. Yan Ting pretended not to see it, and raised his hand to turn on the faucet. Li Hui was surprised when he saw dense water droplets spraying from the shower head. said.Yan Ting immediately turned around, just in time to see him standing there in a daze, with a despairing expression and a sigh of relief, before finally speaking:

"My lord, this is indeed not Jiangling, nor is it Pei Dynasty..."

"Pei Chao?"

Yan Ting turned off the water, frowned and asked Li Hui:

"Are you unable to play cosplay?"

Hearing this word, Li Hui raised his face:

"Someone said this on the road before, what is that? Mr. Yan, why do you have these things here?" Li Hui seemed to be looking at Yan Ting or something through Yan Ting, he lowered his voice: "Man Some have very short hair, and women with short hair, the light will light up when they can’t see the sun, big, everyone likes to stare at a small board, and there are iron boxes running around on the street... ..」

Li Hui continued without waiting for Yan Ting's reply:

"I, if I'm not crazy, and I'm not dreaming, here, this place must be far away from Heng Le Lou."

"The Hengle Building you are talking about is the one in Pei Yuanzong's time?"

Hearing Heng Le Lou, Yan Ting asked.Although he didn't intend to believe Li Hui's words right away, Li Hui didn't seem to be pretending - this kid is a bit weird, but he doesn't seem like someone who would make up such a dramatic reason just to get food. , Yan Ting thought.

"Yes! Jiangling's...Hengle Tower."

"On the first floor of Jiangling, Pei Yuanzong made an exception and called the master master at that time to give his grandma a birthday banquet."

To say that this Henglelou was the most famous restaurant when Pei Dynasty established Jiangling as his capital, and the pictures printed in the textbooks were remembered since he was a child.Seeing Li Hui looking at him with weird eyes, Yan Ting raised his hand and pulled the bun on his head vigorously, Li Hui grinned in pain, but didn't make a sound.

"Okay, let's treat you as an ancient person. You are now in a place more than 900 years after the Pei Dynasty. This is not Jiangling, but W City. Take off your clothes, and I will teach you how to use this."

Fortunately, what was left for this guy at the door today was not something with soup. Yan Ting took off his clothes while thinking, and then raised the faucet to turn on the water again. Unexpectedly, Li Hui still didn't move. Yan Ting thought he was digesting what he just said. Then I saw that the pair of small hands were trembling slightly as they grasped the skirt of the shirt.

"It's all men, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing Yan Ting's words, Li Hui hesitated for a moment, then took out a stack of papers and a purse from his skirt, thinking that he changed his mind because he was worried that the things he brought would get wet, Yan Ting opened the door of the bathroom cabinet next to the sink, Signal Li Hui to put it in.Li Hui carefully put the things in his hand on the partition, and finally began to take off the dirty clothes little by little after saying thank you.Yan Ting glanced at it, and saw that even the underwear was old-fashioned and couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

Here Li Hui spread out his hair in a bun, his waist-length hair was already very greasy, and it was tied into bunches on both sides of his arms.Yan Ting took off the shower head, and covered Li Hui's head with the other hand, water dripped down from his big hand, Li Hui who felt the warm water droplets was first startled, and after a few seconds, he showed a comfortable expression.

"Is it hot?"

Yan Ting asked.Li Hui shook his head shyly.

"You try it yourself."

Yan Ting squeezed some shampoo, rubbed it on his wet head, and picked out a lot of foam on his head. Li Hui watched Yan Ting's every move while pouring hot water. Do it accordingly.After washing his face, Yan Ting found out that Li Hui was a very handsome young man. He was just over 1.6 meters tall, so he didn't look very big.

"Turn around and rub your back."

Hearing Yan Ting's words, Li Hui stood still at first, and finally curled up his neck and turned around slowly.Yan Ting squeezed the shower gel onto the bath ball to lather up, and saw Li Hui with his hair pulled to the front, standing there with his back arched and motionless.

The back was white and thin, so the scars of different sizes and shades below the shoulder blades were particularly obvious.Yan Ting realized what Li Hui was concerned about just now, frowned, and stretched out his hand to gently stick the bath ball wrapped in thick foam to it.

"How old are you?"

"...It will be nineteen after the Chinese New Year."

Knowing that Yan Ting saw the scar on his back but didn't make a sound, Li Hui heaved a sigh of relief.Yan Ting didn't expect the boy in front of him to be an adult, so he was a little surprised.

"How did you get here?"

"Me too, I don't know. I came here when I woke up. I, I hid near the son's house. I searched for the way back during the day, but I couldn't find it after searching for two or three days. I lost my burden. I was really hungry that day. It's great..."

Yan Ting knew that he was talking about the day he robbed the pancakes with the black cat, and it turned out that the little guy hadn't eaten for a few days at that time.

"Where do you sleep alone at night?"

"The cat took me to a bush not far from here, where she usually sleeps."

The emotional black cat regards this little guy as its own kind, and it is still a very reassuring kind. Otherwise, with the nature of cats, it should not casually expose its territory.Yan Ting sighed in his heart: the two he accidentally fed had already become friendly neighbors, maybe it was the black cat who showed the little one over the wall today.

Li Hui, who was still a little nervous, was still not used to the water droplets splashing on his body like this, but the comfort was really comfortable, so his shoulders relaxed a little. Yan Ting stood behind him and looked down, suddenly feeling like he had picked up a The feeling of a small animal.

"Sleep here today."

Yan Ting said.

Li Hui didn't answer, and it took a while to make a sound:

"Actually, today, I want to ask Mr. Yan... can, can you accept me as a helper here, I can do anything! And, there is no need for wages."

Yan Ting looked at the thin frame and said slowly:

"I have no shortage of people here."

"...That's right."

Ashamed of his thick skin, Li Hui shrank his shoulders with his back to Yan Ting.

"But it doesn't matter if there is one more person to help. I can let you stay here for food and lodging, but the salary, um, is the salary—"

"You don't need to give it to me!"

Hastily interjected, Li Hui was afraid that Yan Ting would think he was ungrateful, so he turned around quickly.

"As much as you have done, take as much as you want, except the food and accommodation here, and of course the rest will be given to you."

Yan Ting looked at Li Hui's raised face, and couldn't help but patted his head.

"Hurry up and wash up, we can eat after washing."

The small potatoes are boiled until they are half-cooked, picked up and flattened. After brushing a circle of lard in the baking bowl, put them in the bowl and arrange them. Spread a layer of butter on top, and sprinkle some herb salt with your hands.While shaving the cheese, I felt a scorching sight, needless to say it was from Li Hui.Because Yan Ting unceremoniously threw the cloth strips used to tie the bun into the washing machine, now Li Hui has to wear his hair, and the sweater Yan Ting found for him is hanging loosely on his body, making him look even thinner.Yan Ting originally planned to cook some noodles for him, but today there are only potatoes left in the refrigerator.

"Interested in cooking?" Yan Ting asked, Li Hui's eyes lit up, and he quickly answered "Yes".Speaking of which, this little guy is a helper in Hengle Building, right?Thinking of this, Yan Ting took out the fig jam cooked in the morning from the refrigerator, dug out a spoonful and poured it on the potatoes first, seeing Li Hui swallowed, he handed the spoon over, Li Hui raised his eyebrows happily, Just as he was about to open his mouth and move towards him, he remembered something, and immediately looked at Yan Ting embarrassedly, and only then licked the spoon when he saw him nodding his head.

The sweet and slightly sour taste made Li Hui's stomach growl, Yan Ting suppressed his laughter, gave Li Hui the spoon, and turned on the oven.A warm orange light was shining inside, Li Hui was holding the spoon, his pupils were dyed in color by the light, shining brightly.

"It's used to bake things. When it's powered on, it's the street lamps you see, and all the things that glow are used. With electricity, this will heat up. It's very convenient to cook things."

After slowly explaining to the excited Li Hui, Yan Ting pulled a chair over and asked him to sit down, thinking that he could braid his long hair and then bent down a little.

Just as he was about to start, there was a loud shout from the door:

"Fucking boss, who is this!"
