Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

After the meal, Bai Yutang came to Zhao Hanyan and told Zhao Hanyan that he didn't feel blushing after he went back and looked in the mirror.

"Are you kidding me?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Huh? Isn't it red?" Zhao Hanyan sighed in surprise, "But when you were here, your face was very red, maybe it was because of the sun, so I said this table is not suitable for a window near the south."

Bai Yutang frowned and thought about it, and quickly responded to Zhao Hanyan's words, "Yes, it must be about this table."

Bai Yutang immediately asked Zhao Hanyan if he was interested in going outside.Just after dinner, I ate too much. It is better to go out and do some activities to digest food.

"Where are you going, Zhouqiao Night Market?" When asked, Zhao Hanyan would naturally think of the place where snacks gather, and suddenly remembered her previous agreement with Aunt Sun, "Oops, why did I forget about this! I hope this time Auntie hasn’t closed the stall yet, let’s go for a walk, let’s go to Zhouqiao Night Market.”

Just now, she just asked Bai Yutang's opinion, whether to go to Zhouqiao Night Market, but now Bai Yutang is not allowed to answer, so she decided to go there directly.

Zhao Hanyan quickly tore off the apron on his body, pulled Bai Yutang and left.

Naturally, Bai Yutang had no objection, so he went with Zhao Hanyan, but when the other party grabbed his arm, he thought it was a bit strange.But before he had time to study the reason for the strange feeling, the little cook let go.Seeing Zhan Zhao approaching again, Bai Yutang forgot about this feeling because he wanted to talk to him.

"Are you going out?" Zhan Zhao asked with a smile.

"Going to Zhouqiao Night Market, brother Zhan? By the way, brother Zhan is here for something?" Zhao Hanyan finally came to his senses and asked why Zhan Zhao came.

"Mr. Gongsun asked me to thank you and everyone on behalf of everyone, and I would like to pass a message for him. He still wants to eat that bean paste bun tomorrow morning." Zhan Zhao deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, as if he was talking about some secret incident.

Bai Yutang sneered and sighed: "It's just eating a bean paste bun, how can you talk like a thief?"

"Mr. Gongsun was a little embarrassed when he told me about it. I thought he didn't want people to know, maybe he was afraid that people would misunderstand him as a glutton?" Zhan Zhao explained.

"Then you should whisper to the little cook, now one more person knows." Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, "Is this a gentleman?"

"No, I never regarded you as an outsider, just like Mr. Gongsun did not regard me as an outsider. I kept my voice low to avoid other people in the mansion from hearing it. Of course I don't have to guard against you." Zhan Zhao was not guilty. explained.

When Bai Yutang heard that Zhan Zhao said that he did not regard himself as an outsider, he kept silent.Naturally, he doesn't trust Zhan Zhao as much as Zhan Zhao trusts himself.In the entire Kaifeng mansion, he only recognizes the little cook, and he stays to be a fourth-rank guard with a knife, and he just goes to eat at the small dining table as a way to "justify the name".Sure enough, he cares more about 'eating'. As the saying goes, 'a person lives with one mouth', which is probably what he looks like.

"It happens that I'm fine. I've eaten too much for dinner. Let's go for a walk with you." After Zhan Zhao said, seeing Zhao Hanyan immediately nodded in agreement, he turned his head and looked at Bai Yutang questioningly.

Bai Yutang looked back at Zhan Zhao: "Look at me, I have legs growing on your body, why don't you go where you want?"

"Brother Bai, how did I offend you, I need to ask clearly today." Zhan Zhao sighed helplessly.Bai Yutang's words to him were always harsh, he thought it would be better if he got along with him for a long time, but seeing that he was still like this now, he had to ask clearly.

"It's because your name is Kitten, but he is called Little Mouse. It is common sense that a kitten catches a little mouse. Although the competition is a draw, you still have the upper hand in name." Zhao Hanyan interjected and explained.

But Zhao Hanyan's words immediately angered everyone, and Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at her with anger in their eyes at the same time.

"What did you call me?" Bai Yutang stared at Zhao Hanyan with a very ugly expression.

Zhao Hanyan covered his mouth.The eyeballs turned and glanced away, and then her whole body turned around to avoid facing Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao had heard the name 'Little Cat' a long time ago, and was basically at the stage of reluctantly accepting it, but when he thought that this name was heard by people other than Little Cook, he would feel a little embarrassed, that's why he looked at Zhao Hanyan like that just now.But thinking about it now, there was another 'little mouse' who was more stimulated than him, and Zhan Zhao suddenly felt that Bai Yutang's hearing of his own 'little cat' was actually nothing.Everyone feels the same fate, no one needs to laugh at each other.

As the eldest brother among the three, Zhan Zhao felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he smiled and said peace: "It's just a name, and it doesn't mean anything. There are people in the world who call themselves the number one master, known as ' Xiong dominates the world', but in the end he died faster than anyone else. It's a small matter, but don't mind it."

"Yeah." Bai Yutang echoed Zhan Zhao once in a while, and said straightforwardly that everyone was looking for a job in Kaifeng Mansion, and they were both imperial seal fourth-rank bodyguards, and they were also tied in the competition. No one knew that they were evenly matched. I don't mind any rats and cats for a long time.

"Then you have other prejudices against me?" Zhan Zhao asked puzzled.

"I don't mind, but it doesn't mean I will definitely treat you well." Bai Yutang broke the truth with one word, which made Zhan Zhao helplessly laugh.

It seems that he and this brother Bai need to get along more, Zhan Zhao sighed secretly in his heart.Zhan Zhao likes Bai Yutang's forthright temperament, which is easy to talk about, and also likes Bai Yutang's style of dealing with things that doesn't casually make friends with people, and doesn't play with false friendships.Anyway, no matter what, he will definitely make friends with this white brother in the future.

"You! Stop!" Bai Yutang yelled sharply when he turned his eyes and found that Zhao Hanyan was about to run out.

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction of the back door.Zhao Hanyan was already standing at the door. Although he stopped now, he didn't look back, and still turned his back to them.

Zhan Zhao followed Bai Yutang to Zhao Hanyan's side.Suddenly, he felt a little sympathetic to the little cook. He was just a "cat" who bumped into Bai Yutang's "rat" by mistake, and he had been "resented" for so long.And the 'little mouse' that the little cook just slipped into words sounded even more serious.This name is definitely not suitable for Bai Yutang's usual extraordinary style, and it is even more inconsistent with Bai Yutang's haughty and frosty temperament.

The little cook's fate will probably be miserable?

Just because of the delicious buns for dinner, Zhan Zhao also wants to save Zhao Hanyan from the fire and water.What's more, the little chef has cooked so many delicacies for them before and helped solve so many difficult cases, so he has to save them.

"Brother Bai, don't take offense at a momentary joke or unintentional remark. Why don't you just treat it as if I owe you a favor. No matter what happens in the future, as long as you open your mouth, I will be there on call."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, and hit the nail on the head again, "Don't be a peacemaker, I'll only settle this with the little cook."

"Little cook, little cook, little cook..." Zhao Hanyan said three times, then turned to look at Bai Yutang with dark eyes. "How many times have you called little cook, and you are not allowed to call me little mouse once or twice?"

Zhan Zhao held back his smile, "He told me that too."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, and immediately approached Zhao Hanyan, forcing him to lean against the back door all the way.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Hanyan felt that the head above his forehead was about to be pressed down, so he tilted his head to look at Bai Yutang, and raised his voice and asked, "Do you think the name 'little mouse' sounds bad?"

"No, okay, listen." Bai Yutang lowered his eyes, looked at Zhao Hanyan with warning eyes, paused every word, and the meaning was obvious.

Zhan Zhao felt that the battle between the two was about to start. Although the little chef was easy-going but quick-witted, he was not easy to provoke, not to mention Bai Yutang, who would die if anyone provoked him.

Since it is useless for him to say peace at the moment, he has no other choice at the moment, so he can only watch the excitement.In his heart, Zhan Zhao hoped that the little cook could win the fight against Bai Yutang, but his objective judgment told him that Bai Yutang must be the winner.

It's hilarious, a little bit exciting, and curious to see how it turns out.

"Oh," Zhao Hanyan's angry expression suddenly stopped, "If you don't like me, just stop calling me. How can I know you don't like it if you don't tell me? So I have to say it first, and then listen to what you mean, just like now , I knew I couldn’t call anymore.”

After Zhao Hanyan finished his sophistry and explanation, he pushed Bai Yutang's shoulder with his hand, turned around, opened the back door and walked out.

Bai Yutang had the same thought as Zhan Zhao just now, thinking that with the clever character of the little cook, he would definitely 'bar' him, but he didn't expect that she didn't argue, and said that she would stop barking, turned around and left.Is this really soft?Looking at Zhao Hanyan's agile back, Bai Yutang was deeply suspicious.

"It's over?" Zhan Zhao couldn't believe it, then smiled and patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder, glad that he let the little cook.

Zhan Zhao then followed Zhao Hanyan to observe her expression.

Bai Yutang followed suit, walking side by side with Zhao Hanyan.

Zhao Hanyan's mood was not affected by what happened just now, and she happily told Zhan Zhao about her and Aunt Sun.

"Then did Auntie Sun agree to exchange with you in the end?" Zhan Zhao asked with a smile.

"This is going!" Zhao Hanyan said.

Zhan Zhao: "I think she will definitely agree."

"why?"

"Because everything you cook is delicious, and any one is considered a 'secret recipe'. If there are more types of fried peanuts in the future, her business will definitely be better." Zhan Zhao praised generously.

Bai Yutang agreed, "Exactly."

"Well, thank you very much." Zhao Hanyan was very happy with the affirmation of the two.

The three of them then went to Zhouqiao Night Market. Zhan Zhao was already well-known in the capital, and within a few steps of entering the night market, two acquaintances came to greet him.Not long after I continued walking, I ran into someone I knew better and wanted to drag him out for a drink.Because Zhan Zhao had asked someone to do something, he couldn't refuse, so he had to bid farewell to Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang temporarily.

So it became Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang who continued to visit the night market.

The two then walked to Aunt Sun's stall, only to see a long queue of people buying peanuts.Aunt Sun was so busy that her feet didn't touch the floor, she saw Zhao Hanyan while she was wiping her sweat, and lamented that she was too late for her dishonesty.

"There was a case to be handled suddenly that day, and I didn't have time to inform my aunt, I'm sorry." Zhao Hanyan said.

"The case? I almost forgot, you are the government servant of Kaifeng Mansion." Aunt Sun remembered later.

Zhao Hanyan said that there are too many people at the moment, and she will come to talk to Aunt Sun later when there are fewer people.

"No, it's just a matter of saying a word." Aunt Sun took the peanuts out of the pot, glanced at Zhao Hanyan, and then said, "You can also see that my usual business is very good, but in fact, I don't need to be extravagant. Just like that, I can barely take care of it.”

Zhao Hanyan nodded, "I see, thank you."

"Come here often in the future, Madam doesn't want your money!" Madam Sun felt a little guilty after she refused, so she hastily added.

Zhao Hanyan thanked Aunt Sun with a smile, then turned around and left, she lowered her head, quietly, looking very disappointed.

Bai Yutang: "It's nothing more than fried peanuts. It's no big deal. With your ability, it's not bad for this dish."

Zhao Hanyan originally wanted to tell Bai Yutang that what she wanted was not fried peanuts, but the very important fire control.But then she realized something and asked Bai Yutang, "Are you comforting me?"

"Well, I see you're lost." Bai Yutang said.

Zhao Hanyan drooped her eyelids, nodded pitifully and admitted, "I'm lost, but your words can't comfort me at all."

Zhao Hanyan continued walking silently, sighing deliberately.

Bai Yutang quickly followed her and asked, "Then what can you do to feel better?"

"What are you doing? Want to help me?" Zhao Hanyan asked tentatively.

Bai Yutang agreed and looked at Zhao Hanyan intently.

"Then I will call you a little mouse, will you respond? If you respond, I may be happy." Zhao Hanyan knew that Bai Yutang was smart, and added, "The happiness of winning can balance the disappointment of losing."

Bai Yutang's expression was stern, he didn't look at Zhao Hanyan, it was almost impossible to deduce his true emotions.

After being quiet for a long time, just when Zhao Hanyan thought that Bai Yutang would not agree, he suddenly heard him say two words.

"Call it."

"Little mouse!" Zhao Hanyan was afraid that Bai Yutang would regret it, so he reacted quickly when he heard the words, and immediately called out.

"Ah."

Bai Yutang's voice was calm and magnetic, a simple word, only one sound, he should be very accurate and clear.

"Haha, I'm happy." Zhao Hanyan smiled sweetly, thanking Bai Yutang for his cooperation.

"As long as you're happy." Bai Yutang's gaze fell on Zhao Hanyan softly. In fact, he knew very well that Mrs. Sun's refusal just now was nothing in terms of the little cook's tenacious character.Knowing that the little cook is 'taking advantage of the fire' at this moment and wants to avenge his past, but for some reason, Bai Yutangming still lets her 'calculate' himself and pretend to be fooled.

"Come on, let's go for a walk."

Zhao Hanyan agreed, and walked happily all the way with her little tail raised in victory, until finally Bai Yutang took her almost to the end of Zhouqiao Night Market and saw a building, and the smile on Zhao Hanyan's face disappeared.

The vermilion two-story building is decorated with red silk, which is very grand.Such two-story buildings are common in Tokyo, and there is nothing new or unusual about them.What makes Zhao Hanyan unable to laugh is the plaque hanging on the door of this building, with three vigorous characters 'Wangyou Pavilion' written on it.

In the past two days, I have heard about Wangyou Pavilion frequently, and it is really strange to see it in front of me at this moment.The building was very quiet, the door was closed tightly, there was no light inside, and it seemed that there was no one there.But Zhao Hanyan smelled the smell of fresh paint on the vermilion lacquer pillars at the door. Since this building has been refurbished, someone must use it.

"Did you find out a long time ago, or are you just like me, just met now by chance?" Zhao Hanyan faintly felt that Bai Yutang brought her here on purpose.

"I found it by accident during the day, so I just brought you here now." Bai Yutang originally wanted to talk about it after Zhao Hanyan came back from the Grand Master's Mansion, but later saw that Zhao Hanyan was happy to cook, so he put it aside for the time being.Anyway, there was no one in the building, so there was no rush.

Zhao Hanyan: "Have you checked, is there anyone inside?"

"No, I went inside during the day, but everything I need for life is complete, and some bedding and other things are piled up in the lobby and haven't been tidied up. Maybe someone will move in here soon."

"I don't know if this Wangyou Pavilion is the same as the ones in Jianghu." Zhao Hanyan thought about it, "Since Wangyou Pavilion is doing shady murders, shouldn't it show itself in front of the world?"

"It's normal, but it doesn't rule out that their actions are unreasonable." Bai Yutang frowned.

Zhao Hanyan thought it was reasonable, and then went to meet Zhan Zhao to discuss the matter, and finally decided to be on the safe side and send someone to monitor the building first.

Three days later, there was finally movement in the 'Wangyou Pavilion'. Carriages frequently came in and out of the back door.

After Bai Yutang checked the situation, he immediately told Zhao Hanyan, "It looks like they are planning to open a restaurant, and you know the person in charge."

"Who?"

"Sanchun Tower, Shopkeeper Xue."
