[Comprehensive Water Margin] Female supporting role is not bad

one year later

"Miss Yan, let me help you!"

The person who said this was Aunt Zheng, who was in charge of the helper. A year ago, Ni Xi came here to work as a cook.

The business of this restaurant was relatively mediocre, but after Ni Xi came here, the business gradually improved. The food she cooked was delicious and novel, and soon became a signature dish, which won everyone's praise.

On the kitchen stove, Ni Xi was very busy. Just now, another table of guests came to the restaurant and ordered a lot of dishes. She has been busy without stopping.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, there are still two more dishes to finish."

Aunt Zheng's cooking is okay, but it still tastes different from her cooking. The guests at that table ordered all the signature dishes, and she had to cook them herself.

In the pot, a dish of fried yellow beef with scallions is being made. The beef juice and the fragrance of scallions are intertwined.

Aunt Zheng looked at the pot, a little envious: "The food cooked by the lady is really unique, if only I could have this skill."

People here like to make beef stewed or sauced beef. Although it is delicious, it is the same, and the cooking is relatively monotonous. Generally, they like to boil or fry. There are not so many modern cooking methods, so the taste is naturally inferior.

Facing Aunt Zheng's anxious look, Ni Xi pretended not to notice, and casually said: "It's been a long time. It will be fine naturally."

Although this Aunt Zheng is good at it, she always tries to get Ni Xi to teach her cooking skills. If she is a good person, Ni Xi will teach her, but usually this person likes to gossip and gossip. She is not the kind of person who is willing to work hard. So every time Ni Xi was perfunctory.

Aunt Zheng next to her was a little disappointed. The food she cooked for so long had never been better than Ni Xi's. However, Ni Xi's attitude was lukewarm, no matter how much she praised, she would not be moved.

She has been by Ni Xi's side for so long, and she can almost see Ni Xi cooking every day, but when she cooks, the taste is always wrong, not the taste of Ni Xi's cooking.

If Ni Xi knew what she was thinking, she would definitely say that it's strange that the taste is the same, and Aunt Zheng couldn't see the tricks like mixing the sauce and thickening the sauce.

After working for a while, all the dishes were ready, and the waiter was asked to leave. The rest of the dishes were ordinary dishes, which were all left to Aunt Zheng. Ni Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a busy day, when she was about to go home after work, Zhao Wu stopped her.

Zhao Wu is the shopkeeper of this restaurant, which was left by his father.

At the beginning, Ni Xi and Yan Po first arrived in Jizhou, and they were not familiar with the place. Many restaurants Ni Xi tried were rejected, but Zhao Wu saw that the mother and daughter were pitiful, so he kindly took them in.

As long as they get along, she is also familiar with Zhao Wu.

In the face of this kindness, Ni Xi has always been grateful to Zhao Wu, and because of this, he puts extra effort into cooking, researches many new dishes, and helps Zhao Wu grow his business.

After a year, the two have become very familiar with each other.

Zhao Wu was tall and tall, with good features. Although he was the shopkeeper of a restaurant, he didn't have a trace of a businessman's philistinism. On the contrary, he was very simple and warm-hearted.

"Brother Zhao, what's the matter?" Ni Xi stopped and asked.

Zhao Wu scratched his head in embarrassment, his face was black and red, showing a bit of shyness: "Well... there is a temple fair tonight, will you go to see it?"

Ni Xi was taken aback for a moment, she hadn't been to the temple fair here yet, she heard people say it was very lively and interesting, she couldn't help being moved.

Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly saw a head on the other side of the kitchen stove looking here.

It's Aunt Zheng.

Ni Xi frowned, she must have heard what she said just now, if she agreed to go to the temple fair with Zhao Wu, then rumors would spread again tomorrow.

She has reached the age to be married, but she is not married. She is a single lady, and Zhao Wu is alone and unmarried. It is easy for others to gossip when they see her.

Thinking of this, Ni Xi politely refused, "I have something to do at home tonight, so I can't go."

Zhao Wu showed a disappointed expression, "Is it really not possible?"

He has liked Ni Xi for a long time, but he never knew how to get close to him, so he could only secretly bury this affection in his heart.

Ni Xi glanced at him apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhao."

For Zhao Wu's vague affection for her, Ni Xi has noticed that Zhao Wu is a good person, but unfortunately she has no intention of talking about a relationship now, so she can only refuse.

It's better than being ambiguous and delaying him.

After rejecting Zhao Wu, when Ni Xi came home, Yan Po hadn't come back yet, she made small snacks in the old way and went out to sell them, the mother and daughter slowly gained a firm foothold here.

Ni Xi found Yan Po, and after helping her sell the snacks, the two pushed the cart and talked and laughed all the way back.

This kind of life is peaceful and ordinary, but also peaceful.

Ni Xi has long been used to that person. After a year has passed, she keeps this feeling deeply in her heart. Occasionally, she will burst into tears when she dreams back at midnight. Most of the time, she is strong enough to live every day well.

When he was approaching the door of the house, Ni Xi was taken aback suddenly, staring at the place bewilderedly, and stopped involuntarily.

Yan Po noticed Ni Xi's strangeness, followed her gaze, and saw a person standing in front of the small wooden door. The person was dressed in green clothes, with a tall and slender figure, with picturesque and graceful eyebrows, which made people just look at him. I couldn't help but feel good about it.

It was Wu Yong who hadn't seen him for a year.

Yan Po's expression changed immediately, she ran forward to take the basket in her hand and threw it towards Wu Yong.

While beating and scolding: "You heartless man, what are you doing here, we two mothers have been harmed by you!"

After Wu Yong left, someone saw that Ni Xi had been by Wu Yong's side, and reported the matter to the county government. The birthday outline was related to Grand Master Cai, and it was very sensitive. Anyone who knew the matter had to be arrested and interrogated one by one. If you want to leave after you catch it, it will be difficult.

Fortunately, Shi Wenbin, the county magistrate, really couldn't bear it, so he secretly asked people to release him, and told Ni Xi and Yan Po to leave Yuncheng County quickly and not to go back.

Ni Xi, mother-in-law Yan and her daughter had to set off on the road with tears in their eyes, and they traveled all the way to Jizhou before they stopped.

On the way, I also suffered a lot.

For Wu Yong, the culprit of this matter, Yan Po will not have a good face

.

Wu Yong didn't resist, just stood there and let Yan Po beat and scolded him without fighting back. After a long time, Yan Po's hands were sore and tired, so he said, "I'm sorry."

His voice was exhausted, his eyes had grown a lot more, and there was still a little dust on his clothes, making him look dusty.

"At the beginning, Xiaosheng insisted on going his own way, and it was Xiaosheng's fault that you, mother and daughter, suffered."

His deep eyes stared at Ni Xi closely, joy, nostalgia, love and other emotions were intertwined, giving Ni Xi the illusion of a world away.

Yan Po snorted coldly, and was about to speak when Ni Xi stepped forward and held her back, "Aniang, you go in first, I have something to say to him."

Ni Xi's attitude was very firm, Yan Po could only reluctantly enter the house.

At this time, there were only Ni Xi and Wu Yong in front of the door.

Ni Xi had a complicated expression, "What else are you doing here?"

A year has passed, and she originally thought that this person had really disappeared from her life, but she didn't expect to see him suddenly at this moment.

Wu Yong's eyes looked greedily at Ni Xi's familiar face, she was still so beautiful and delicate, she hadn't changed at all, she was still the person in his memory.

After settling down in Liangshanbo, Wu Yong immediately sent someone to look for Ni Xi, only to hear the news from his subordinates that Ni Xi's mother and daughter had left Yuncheng County, but they could not find her anywhere.

This search took a year.

This year, many things happened. As Liang Shanbo became more and more popular, Wu Yong should be happy that he can finally show his strength.But in fact there is no, only more and more empty, like a walking dead, using things to numb myself every day.

To see Ni Xi again, his heart was extremely excited.

"Po Xi, can you forgive me?" He almost begged.

"I have figured it out over the past year. Any ambitions are fleeting. As long as you are by my side, nothing is important. You are the most important thing."

Wu Yong's words are extremely sincere and touching, his eyes are so sincere, and his love is so strong, he really misses her!

"If I knew today, why bother...it's already passed." Ni Xi sighed softly.

There was a soreness in her heart, she thought he could completely forget about this person, but when he was really in front of her, she couldn't control herself.

However, there is a difference after all. In the past, she would give up everything for this relationship, but now, she just wants to live an ordinary life.

Wu Yong shook his body, his head drooped, so low that people couldn't see his expression clearly.

But that loss couldn't be concealed, he moved his lips with difficulty, and said in pain: "But I already, can't let you go."

It was like a kind of demonic obstacle, which captivated his mind and made him unable to get out of it for the rest of his life. Only Ni Xi could solve this magical obstacle.

I have never seen Wu Yong like this before, without his high spirits, such a Wu Yong will only make people feel distressed.

Ni Xi shook her head, trying her best to ignore that soft heart.

She tried her best to sound indifferent, "Stop talking, it's over, let it pass!"

After finishing speaking, she didn't look at Wu Yong's expression, and entered the room resolutely.

Outside the door, the wind howled, Wu Yong stood there for a long time, silent and his figure was like a sculpture.
