I open an inn in the realm of comprehension

When the group arrived at the shop, they happened to see the fisherman taking two tanned apprentices aged fourteen or fifteen to pack the remaining sea fish that hadn't been sold in time.

Before entering the shop, Xiao Minglou was almost choked by the fishy smell: "Ahem——"

It already smells like the sea outside, but it smells even stronger inside. The smell of live fish, dead fish, and various shrimps, crabs, and mussels is mixed in it, so salty that it smells like mold. Smelly socks that haven't been washed in years.

Qi Chang quickly took out a clean veil from his bosom—ever since he started to "guard" Xiao Minglou personally, he always kept some small scattered things on his body just in case of emergencies.

Hugging him into his arms, he gently covered Xiao Minglou's mouth and nose with the handkerchief, and when he lowered his head, he could see the tangled brows of the delicate young master loosen a little.

Qi Chang's expression also eased.

The veil was placed on the incense burner for several hours the night before, and it was stained with the fruity aroma of Muhuaxiang, Xiao Minglou's favorite. It floated out of his arms, lingering around the end of his nose several times.

At this time, the fisherman in the shop was still explaining to the two apprentices: "Hurry up, the city lord will sell our shop to others in two days, and the unsold fish can't be turned back into the sea. Don't make people wait too long...you, are you the new owner who came to take over the shop?" The master raised his head, and saw that Xiao Minglou and the others were not interested in those heinously cheap sea fish.

Seeing Xiao Minglou covering his mouth and nose and nodding his head, the fisherman staggered over and begged with red eyes: "This shop was passed down by my ancestors, who promised him that he would be able to eat fish if he wanted to. I came to Baisha City to look for him, so I asked our descendants to sell fish here for generations. I have no other skills other than fishing. I bought this store! So I don't know... I don't know if I can..."

"You want to stay in this shop and wait for your ancestor's savior to come back?" Xiao Minglou saw that he was hesitating and his face was full of embarrassment, so he took the initiative to fill in what he hadn't finished.

The fisherman hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't dare, dare not, no... I just want to..." He glanced at Xiao Minglou again, two inconspicuous blushes appeared on his tanned face, he Seeing that Xiao Minglou was the person in charge of this group of people, he lost several comprehensible shy eyes, which really made the hair stand on end, and the goosebumps were raised several times.

Xiao Minglou even wanted to put the handkerchief over his eyes.

It hurts my eyes!

If Qi Chang gave him "winks", he would still accept it happily and find it pleasing to the eye. If replaced by a seven-foot man whose skin was tanned into soy sauce, Xiao Minglou's expression would be as if he drank a bottle of soy sauce dry.

Apparently Qi Chang was also disgusted by the inexplicable behavior of this fisherman, he simply blocked Xiao Minglou behind him, releasing the evil spirit around him, his eyes were like a fierce wolf locking on its prey, as long as the other party had any malicious intentions, he would bite Bite off the neck of the prey.

Qi Chang said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"

The fisherman shuddered inexplicably, touched his chilly neck, and said tremblingly: "I just want... can I ask the boss to post a notice at the door, or write a small sign, telling that benefactor, the Lai family The fish shop is going to change stores, you can find us in Xicheng in the future..."

The rent of shops on the main street in the main city is really too high. In fact, it’s not that they can’t earn money from fishing, but it’s just that there’s really no need to open a shop in such a place. The shops in Xicheng are not only cheap, but ordinary people also like to go there to catch fairs. Instead, it is more suitable for Lai Youyu and his two apprentices.

"Lai's fish shop...the surname is Lai..." Xiao Minglou thought of something when he heard the surname, blinked, cleared his throat, covered up his guilty conscience, and asked the fisherman, "Your family?" The ancestor's savior, could it be... surnamed Xiao?"

Lai Youyu's eyes widened: "How do you know that!"

"The realm of comprehension is really small." Xiao Minglou sighed in a low voice, touched his nose, and apologized to the fishing master, "Actually, my surname is Xiao, and the benefactor you mentioned may be me. the ancestors of . . .

Dong Chuanyue couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Minglou. In fact, that benefactor was Senior Brother Xiao himself, right?

Because he likes to eat fish, he asked the fisherman to keep the shop open until he comes back, he really did it.

Back then, Senior Brother Xiao traveled all over the world, fighting against injustice, enjoying himself in the rivers and lakes, and receiving countless favors from him, it is normal for him not to remember a Lai's fish shop.

But at that time, Xiao Minglou probably didn't expect that Baisha City, which was originally just a small town near the sea, could become the prosperous and magnificent place it is today. An ordinary fish shop in the small town just happened to become Now a part of the bustling area on the side of the main road has become unsuitable for opening a fish shop.

After going around for a while, the shop unexpectedly fell into Xiao Minglou's hands again.

As if it was destined in the dark.

No one can discern the mysterious and mysterious truth in the causal cycle.

The fisherman and two apprentices at the other end were overjoyed. They didn't expect to sell a shop to the "offspring" of the savior. The heavy responsibility assigned by the great-great-grandfather can be regarded as relieved. I am so happy that I don't know what to do. , and blurted out: "Then give these fish to benefactor!"

Xiao Minglou: "..."

But Qi Chang on this side frowned, not because of the fish that were about to turn white, but because of Dong Chuanyue's eyes looking at Xiao Minglou again.

More than once, he noticed that Dong Chuanyue's familiarity and love for Xiao Minglou were mixed with a past that only the two of them knew.In that period of the past, there must have been a side different from the current Xiao Minglou, but only Dong Chuanyue has seen that side.

Just thinking about it, Qi Chang rushed to his chest like a simmer, feeling bored and annoyed, he didn't know where to vent his anger.

It is rare for him to have such a feeling of powerlessness, but every time this feeling is inseparable from Xiao Minglou.

Xiao Minglou didn't know that Ah Chou, his family, had gone to a boundless place in his mind again. He was worrying about the fish on the floor. He really didn't want it. Even if he likes to eat fish, he can't eat so much, right? ?

At this time, Zhao Jiuniang suggested: "It's not impossible to keep these fish. Why don't you hand over all the fish caught by Master Lai to our Koi Inn in the future? We will definitely buy them at a good price, so that Master Lai will not lose money." .”

Lai Youyu was surprised and worried: "Then... so many fish, you can all get it? Let me tell you the truth, it's not like we didn't think about making food from the fish we caught before, but in Baisha City There are too many chefs who know how to cook fish dishes. Larger restaurants have their own signature dishes, which are much more delicious than ours. With all due respect, if the taste of fish dishes is average, it is difficult to make those old foodies become regular customers ..."

Zhao Jiuniang said with a smile: "Since the fish cuisine in Baisha City has reached the point where you can't get tired of eating it, it's better to do the opposite. Let's make the spices out of the stove and let the guests do it themselves. The word 'fresh' is used. , not only the ingredients are fresh, but the way to taste the food is also fresh.”

"You're talking about eating pot?" Xiao Minglou took off the veil on his face, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Jiuniang's method was very good, his eyes were as bright as sparks.

Zhao Jiuniang nodded slightly: "Not only that, in addition to the soup pot, you can also prepare an oven for the guests. Whether they want to drink soup or eat grilled fish, or even make fish sticks, there are utensils at hand. It's even more fragrant!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Xiao Minglou said three good words in succession, and felt more and more that he had picked up a treasure by taking in Zhao Jiuniang and the two for Qi Chang's sake. After two clicks, I adjusted measures to local conditions and figured out how to open this store.

For a moment, Xiao Minglou smiled like spring flowers in March, the room was filled with light, and he looked straight at Master Lai and the two apprentices.

After setting the store opening policy, the fish shop had to be demolished and rebuilt.

Lai Youyu's master and apprentice were still wondering how they were going to build a large-scale construction project in the busy city, so Xiao Minglou slowly took out a pearl-sized bead from his sleeve. A bead is tossed casually.

He threw it on the original site of Yupu where Qi Chang smashed into pieces with his violent sword intent.

I saw the golden beads falling to the ground, expanding rapidly like seeds sprouting, and in an instant, a five-storey inn rose from the ground, with red lacquer gray tiles, ebony beams and columns, and the plaque at the main entrance read "Koi Inn" in four gold strokes. big characters!

By the way, this group of people in front of them are monks!Lai Youyu slapped his forehead and realized.

If people from Yucheng and Wucheng pass by here, they will find that this koi inn is exactly the same as the inns in those two cities, except that this one has just been built and looks newer.

The inn itself is a magic weapon.

Qi Chang frowned slightly and stared at his fingertips: "How many of these gold beads do you still have? It's probably not good to be exposed to the eyes of others."

Xiao Minglou twirled his fingers, simply smiled and took out a small purse from his sleeve and gave it to him: "That's all, I'll give it to you."

Qi Chang was speechless: "I don't want your magic weapon..."

"I know." Xiao Minglou leaned close to his ear, and said softly, "I feel more at ease when I leave it to you. With you here, who can take it away?"

Qi Chang's ears were red, and he hurriedly put away the purse, with a straight and upright face: "Well, I will keep it for you."

Xiao Minglou looked at his reddened ear tips, and laughed more and more freely.

So before the sun set in the west, there was a booming sound of firecrackers crackling in the busiest area of ​​Baisha City. Passers-by spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and soon everyone who should know knew that there was a new opening on the main road in the city. into an inn.

"There is really a koi inn..." The man in physical training who complained loudly near the Lingsong formation during the day happened to pass by, and walked in with the idea of ​​giving it a try. He recognized it immediately before he came to the counter. Xiao Minglou.

This person occupied most of the table at once. On the table was a soup pot that was constantly bubbling with boiling water. There was a small formation engraved on the pot to keep the soup always boiling.Using the alchemy furnace method to make a soup pot... The corner of the strong man's mouth twitched, this inn is really wonderful!

And the slender and handsome young man was leaning weakly in the arms of a tall man, too lazy to move, but his mouth was busy: "Ah Chou, you can put the meat slices down and put more mushrooms... Mix that sesame sauce for me, Put another two slices of green vegetables... Hurry up, scoop it up, the fish fillets are going to be old!"

The tall and silent guard was instructed by him to turn around, but he didn't complain, his eyes were extremely focused, and he quickly picked up the fresh and tender meat slices in the soup with the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other. The splashed broth was mixed with the smell of multiple spices, fragrant Gone with the wind.

Hiss, don't say it, it smells really good.

The author has something to say: Xiao Minglou: There is no one in this world who does not love hot pot!No one can resist the temptation of hot pot!

Qi Chang: I don't love it.

Xiao Minglou: Why?

Qi Chang: Because I love you.

Xiao Minglou: ...
