Rebirth of Tao Yao

Chapter 17 The Moral of the Knot

Qin Yunshu had been busy in the back kitchen of the restaurant all afternoon.She was lucky. When she came out to look for work, the cook of the restaurant just resigned. A restaurant cannot be without a cook, so the proprietress of the restaurant asked her to cook a few dishes, and then left her as a cook.

Being a cook is more expensive than doing miscellaneous work, but it is actually a hard job, especially when the restaurant business is good.Even though there were still two helpers in the kitchen, Qin Yunshu didn't have any free time this afternoon, until the beautiful but refreshing proprietress came to the back kitchen in person, and said to her: "Ah Qin, don't worry about it here, go out and have a look." , I think there is a kid who seems to be hooking up with your daughter."

Qin Yunshu was taken aback when he heard this, and then he didn't care about the half-cooked dishes, he threw the spatula and ran out in a hurry.

Seeing this, the proprietress curled her lips and didn't say anything. She picked up an apron and put it on, then picked up the spatula and started cooking.The kitchen helper who was cutting vegetables turned around and teased her: "The proprietress is really good-tempered towards this new cook. If you dared to throw the spatula when Lao Zhang was here before, you should kick it."

As soon as the words fell, the kitchen assistant was kicked, and then the proprietress said: "Can a delicate and weak woman compare with a rough man?"

Of course it can't be compared!People in the border city who love their daughter-in-law know that, after the helper smiled, he shut up and continued to chop vegetables.

On the other side, when Qin Yunshu ran out of the back kitchen, what he saw was the scene of Wen Ziran putting on a knot for Yan Li.She looked at the bright red color, then at the familiar pattern, and finally at Yan Li's seemingly not so cold face in front of her daughter, and immediately took a deep breath...

The proprietress was wrong before, there is a kid here who wants to hook up with her daughter, it is obviously her daughter's heart, and then bullies the little general who doesn't know the meaning of the knot, secretly hooking up with her!

There are many kinds of knots, different styles and even different colors have different meanings, but apart from the locals, outsiders know little about them.The red knot represents marriage, and the knot that Wen Ziran gave to Yan Li is not obvious on the surface, but it can be pulled into a unique concentric knot through a special technique.

The knot of one heart means to be united forever.In the hometown of Wen's mother and daughter, if a woman gives a man a sympathy knot, it means that she has the intention of admiration.If the man accepts it, it means that he has the same intentions, and the two will soon talk about marriage if they are in love.And when a woman personally puts the sympathy knot on her sweetheart, it has the meaning of declaring her sovereignty. If others see it, they will know that this man has a person who is pleasing to each other, and there will be no more entanglements.

People in border towns don't understand these things, even if Yan Li wears a sympathetic knot and goes out to show off in the market, perhaps no one will understand the deep meaning.But Wen Ziran's small thoughts and desire for monopoly are clearly revealed in front of Qin Yun's writing.

To be honest, Qin Yunshu's mood at this moment was like knocking over a seasoning bottle, it was really mixed.

Not long after, the proprietress came out with a plate of dishes. Seeing that Qin Yunshu was just watching from a distance but did not step forward to stop him, she couldn't help but wondered, "What's the matter, Ah Qin, do you know that kid? Or do you think he's your son-in-law?" ?”

Wen Ziran is almost fifteen years old, and it is not too early for a woman to start talking about marriage at this time.And to be honest, although Yan Li looked deserted, he had a good appearance, and his clothes showed that his family was rich.Therefore, in the view of the proprietress, if the two of them are interested, it seems good for Wen Ziran to marry this young man, so she joked.

However, when Qin Yunshu heard the words, she couldn't explain it. She sighed, forced a smile on her face and said to the proprietress, "Madam proprietress, please help me watch some more. I... I'll go back to the kitchen first."

After saying this, Qin Yunshu turned his head and left. There was nothing he could do if he didn't leave. Could she go up and expose her daughter's little thoughts?It's just that in her heart, Yan Li is indeed not a good match, maybe it's time for the mother and daughter to have a good talk.

The dog was also changed, and gifts were also given. Although the atmosphere between the two was harmonious, it seemed that there was nothing more to say.

Yan Li held Xiaobai in one hand, and slowly smoothed the dog's fur with the other hand, hesitating for a while before speaking: "There have been some rumors outside recently, I don't know if you have heard of them, but please don't take it to heart superior."

Wen Ziran naturally knew what Yan Li was talking about, and then suddenly understood why Yan Li found the puppy but didn't bring it to her for so long.She was a little surprised by Yan Li's carefulness, because according to her understanding, people in the border city would not take that level of gossip and rumors to heart, and Yan Li was even more indifferent to these things, and it didn't seem like he would be restrained by this. .

Inexplicable emotions surfaced in his heart, and Wen Ziran just smiled gently on his face, and made a puzzled look just right: "What is brother talking about? I have been staying at home, so I don't know."

Yan Li heaved a sigh of relief, and didn't want to annoy the girl with these things, so he said, "It's nothing, it's just the nonsense of some idlers, it's better if you don't know." After speaking, he looked at the bamboo basket in front of Wen Ziran , and said: "Your knots are almost sold out, sell the rest to me. There are too many people outside today and it is chaotic. It is better to go back earlier."

Wen Ziran hurriedly refused after hearing the words: "No need, it's useless to take these things, brother."

Yan Li is worried that Wen Ziran is here alone, even if there are people from the restaurant watching from time to time.But it was not good for him to just follow Wen Ziran and stay at the entrance of the restaurant. This place is already lively with people coming and going, maybe someone who knows him and has a bad mouth sees it, and he doesn't know how to spread the rumors.He can't marry this girl, why bother with bad reputation?

It was rare for the little general to be enthusiastic, planning to buy something for the little girl to go home early, or it would be good to go to the restaurant and wait for her mother.However, hearing her refusal at this moment, he casually replied: "Who says it's useless, I'll give it away."

Although the knots made of these colorful ropes are not as delicate as the concentric knots in Ruo Yanli's hands, they are still very beautiful.Border towns do not have the custom of wearing knots on the Dragon Boat Festival in their hometown, so almost all the people who come to Wen Ziran to buy knots today are girls' homes. Even if there are one or two men who come to buy them occasionally, they buy them back for their sisters, wives or sweethearts.Yan Li said that he wanted to give it to someone, but it seemed that he could only give it to a woman?

Wen Ziran knew that Yan Li's biological mother died young and had no sisters, and she had never been close to any woman in her previous life, but she didn't know if there was any change in this life, not to mention that she and Yan Li didn't know each other at this time in the previous life...

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became nervous, Wen Ziran's face remained calm, he only squeezed his fingers tightly in his sleeves, and asked with a smile: "This is something that my daughter's family likes. My brother said that I want to give it away, but Want to give it to the girl you like?"

Yan Li just casually said that there is no girl he likes.He didn't like girls, and the girls didn't like him either, they were afraid that he would be too scared, so they frowned, and just about to explain something, they heard Gao Dashan's voice calling him not far away.

That man Gao Dashan is very gossipy, and for some reason he seems to have decided that there is something between him and Wen Ziran.Yan Li didn't want him to see that he and Wen Ziran were together, so he hurriedly picked up the basket and picked up all the knots inside, and said: "Okay, sell these to me, you go to the restaurant first, and wait for it later. Come home with your mother."

After Yan Li finished speaking, he took out the money bag from his bosom, took a small piece of silver and stuffed it in Wen Ziran's hand, fearing that she would not accept the money given too much.

After finishing these, Yan Li sent Wen Ziran into the restaurant gate, then hurried away with Xiao Bai in his arms.When he was leaving, Xiaobai grabbed his arm and looked back at his master. He barked "Wang Wang" full of reluctance, but the black dog didn't care about his master's departure at all. He seemed to understand that he was handed over to his new master. Dian followed Wen Ziran and completely forgot about Yan Li.

Not long after, Gao Dashan found him. Seeing Yan Li just raised his smiling face to greet him, he saw the puppy in his arms, so his greeting suddenly turned into an exclamation: "Boss, you found the wrong dog!" , my pup is black-haired!"
