Cute Beast Food Garden

"This is simply too much deception!"

Several days had passed, but whenever he talked about what happened in the yamen that day, Ah Jin couldn't help but yell loudly.

"Ajin, keep your voice down."

Boss Lan carefully glanced out of the window, and reminded Ah Jin: "This time the situation is special, you are dealing with the highest-ranking officials in the local area, please don't speak loudly about what happened that day, and be careful not to speak out and get troubled by the yamen. "

"But their behavior is really irritating..." Ah Jin clenched his fists, his cheeks flushed.He paced up and down angrily in the private room of the restaurant, frowning.

At the table in the private room, Qi Yan and Si Dongmo were also sitting sullenly, drinking tea with cups buried in their heads.This time the incident ended in the worst way: Xiaobao was forcibly taken to Master Qin's mansion, and there was no further news; and Master Zhao, after suffering the double blow of body and mind, he was depressed and even more in a trance .

Apart from helping the restaurant make some snacks every day, the old man has been sitting blankly in the corner of the yard, holding a handful of snow-white fluff that fell from Xiaobao's neck in his hand, staring blankly at it.

"Master Zhao's mood has been unstable recently, fluctuating up and down." Qi Yan said sadly, "He said that Master Qin is rich, and the house must be luxuriously built, and that Xiaobao will definitely not suffer if he follows him, and then he said that the yamen Li Xiaobao was beaten so hard, what if he was also beaten at Master Qin's place? I see that he can't sleep day and night, and his dark circles are heavy. If he goes on like this, his body will collapse. Too many herbs don't help."

They talked intermittently for a while in the private room, but no one could think of a way to relieve Master Zhao's knot.Just as he was thirsty, Qi Yan got up to pour tea, when suddenly he heard a rapid knock on the door.When it was opened, it was a clerk in the store, who hurriedly waved to Boss Lan: "Boss, Qin, Master Qin is here!"

"Master Qin?" Everyone was taken aback.This Lord Qin likes extravagance and ostentation. He has always looked down on "common people's restaurants" like restaurants, but he came here today. I don't know what his purpose is.

When they went out from the private room, they saw Master Qin and his subordinates standing in the main hall of the restaurant. They surrounded Master Zhao, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

"Master Qin, Master Qin." Boss Lan hurried over and bowed his hands.

"I came to see old man Zhao. This matter has nothing to do with Boss Lan." Master Qin said, smiled frivolously at Boss Lan, and then turned to Master Zhao: "After Fugui and I returned to the mansion, we have been crying a lot. Make a fuss, don't think about food and drink, have been hungry for many days and haven't eaten anything. If you don't want it to starve to death, follow me back to the Qin Mansion, so that you can take care of the rich and powerful, and the wages will be five times that of the restaurant! "

"Rich, wealthy?"

Si Dongmo didn't turn his head around, but Qi Yan recognized the trick and told him in a low voice: "The 'rich' he said should refer to Xiaobao, right? After they brought Xiaozhenbaolong to the house, it must be Renamed it."

However, the name "Fugui" is a bit rustic, not as good as the "Little Treasure" that Master Zhao called it, but it has the style of a big bureaucratic nouveau riche.

According to Master Qin's tone, Xiaolong did not obey his discipline after returning home with him, and even went on a hunger strike to protest.The people in the mansion had nothing to do with it, and they couldn't really starve the rare and exotic beast to death, so they had no choice but to come to the door in person and ask Master Zhao to go back and help.

Master Zhao still didn't forget the scene of them beating and taking Xiaobao away that day, but Master Qin said in a blunt tone: "If Fugui doesn't eat anymore, he might really starve to death. It doesn't do anything every day, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep, I just yell non-stop, my throat is about to bleed.”

Upon hearing this, Master Zhao, who was unwilling to die before, suddenly softened his heart.After all, he was still thinking about Xiaobao, and he didn't want to let it torture him to death in loneliness and pain. Then he looked at the big guys in the restaurant, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

Boss Lan stepped forward at the right time, patted the old man on the shoulder, and whispered: "Master Zhao, you are thinking about Xiaobao in your heart, so you can take this opportunity to see it and take care of it. See if it is in Lord Qin's mansion." How was it going?"

With Boss Lan's encouragement, Master Zhao finally nodded and agreed: "Well, I will go back to Master Qin's residence with them for the time being."

Qi Yan also went forward, and whispered to the old man: "Master Zhao, after you go, send a message to the restaurant if you have anything to do, and tell us guys, lest they bully you."

"Hey, hey, I got it!"

No matter what, the joy of seeing Xiaobao again made the old man's eyes finally show a trace of anger.He quickly packed his luggage, greeted everyone one by one, and followed Master Qin and the others back to the mansion.

Qi Yan saw the hopeful flames in the old man's eyes beating before he left. He didn't have time to think about the ways that might exist in it, so he just smiled and sent Master Zhao out, hoping that he could live a peaceful life there. good.

=====

Master Zhao left the restaurant and did not come back for half a month. He only sent a few letters to report his safety, saying that he was doing well, and that Xiao Bao had resumed eating under his care and would no longer eat. Hungry.Although others left, the secret recipes of snacks left behind are still carried on in the fire.

Due to the improvement in performance, the restaurant has a certain amount of savings, and Boss Lan hired a young man who specializes in selling snacks at the window on the street.The other cooks and waiters stayed in the house and continued to take care of the guests for dinner.The division of labor between the two parties is clear, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

Qi Yan and Si Dongmo were still staying in the restaurant as Boss Lan's temporary partners.In the morning, Qi Yan will transform into a bird dumpling, and stand on the snack window as a cute mascot to sell snacks.In the afternoon, I usually stay in the backyard to make suggestions, think about some innovative ideas based on the experience of my previous life as a foodie, or discuss the knowledge of health preservation with Boss Lan.Si Dongmo acted as the executor of his plan, bringing in ingredients for various experiments.

Life is just like this day by day, Qi Yan cooks, chats, and before going to bed at night, he uses the elixir given by Boss Lan to practice and accumulate some spiritual energy, which is very comfortable.

Midsummer is not over yet, autumn is coming.This is the season when the crayfish are still active, and there is always a tempting spicy smell on the food street, which makes people passing by stop involuntarily.

The source of the aroma is the place closest to the intersection of the food street, which is called "Xiaxiangxiang Spicy Shrimp".

Qi Yan had seen the big names of this store at the Lantern Festival, and was very impressed with them.One is that during the food competition, they summoned a gust of demon wind, which blew the smell of spicy shrimp all over the field, thus winning the first place and advancing to the semi-finals; For women, there is not a single male employee in the entire restaurant.

A Jin told Qi Yan when he was gossip before that the Spicy Shrimp shop is a business handed down from generation to generation by the Xia family. All employees are also women of their families. "Xiaxiangxiang Spicy Shrimp" is a famous hot lady army on the food street.

In addition to making spicy shrimp, there is also a huge shrimp field in the middle of Luoxia Town and the surrounding villages, where various types of lobsters, river prawns, etc. are raised.After the shrimp rice with pine nuts developed by Si Dongmo and the fried rice with shrimp balls developed by Qi Yan became very popular in the town, the demand for shrimp in restaurants also increased. The high-quality shrimp farm raised by the Xia family became a One of their important sources of supply.

This afternoon, the cooks and staff in the restaurant were busy. Si Dongmo was rolling up his sleeves and frying rice in the stove. He casually reached for the basin containing aquatic products, but found that there were very few lobsters in it.

"Hey, where did all the lobsters go?"

He groped around the water basin for a while, but he didn't see any lobsters escaping or hiding, so he left the stove temporarily and ran out wearing a big apron.

Qi Yan was standing in the yard, counting the mountain goods he picked together with Ah Jin who had just delivered the goods to the door, squatting among the piles of walnuts, hawthorn and pine nuts and counting.Si Dongmo rushed straight towards him, and suddenly shouted behind the young man who was counting seriously: "Qi Yan!"

"98...Wow!"

When he suddenly shouted from behind, Qi Yan was defenseless and jumped up in fright.He stepped on the hem of his gown and slid back immediately.

"careful!"

Si Dongmo reacted extremely quickly, even faster than Ah Jin who was closer to Qi Yan.He threw himself forward, stretched out his powerful arms, wrapped the tall and thin boy in his arms, and hugged him firmly.

"Ah... It's okay, it's okay, it scared me..."

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Qi Yan couldn't help clutching the lapel of the person in front of him, and heaved a dangerous breath.He raised his legs and straightened the hem of his clothes, and suddenly found that the man's arms were still firmly encircling him.

When he raised his face, he saw a man who was taller than him lowering his head slightly, his gaze was lowered and fell on his face.

The two stared blankly at each other for a while.The next second, they both let go of their hands at the same time - Si Dongmo put his hands behind his back and twisted them tightly; Qi Yan shrank back embarrassedly, curled up like a hamster, blinking his eyes to see looking at each other.

"that……"

"Excuse me!"

Before Qi Yan finished speaking, Si Dongmo yelled in the courtyard, his eyes were tightly closed, his hands were vertically pressed against the seam of his trousers, his cheeks were flushed.Qi Yan couldn't help laughing out loud: "What are you yelling so loudly, I thought you were going to fight."

"No, no..."

Si Dongmo narrowed his eyes, glanced at Qi Yan, his eyes gradually shifted back, and suddenly, he froze.

"Wow hey hey..."

Qi Yan was wondering, when he suddenly heard a snicker behind him.A thunderstorm sounded in his mind: It's over, it's over, why did I forget, Ah Jin is still in the yard!Didn't the unexpected hug just now completely fall into his eyes?

Turning around tremblingly, Qi Yan saw the ambiguous smile on Ah Jin's face.However, Ah Jin was only complacent for a second, and the next moment, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the man's stone-like gloomy face, shivered, and put away the snickering completely, not a single trace of it remained on his face. .

"Well, that... I, I didn't see anything." He scratched the back of his head, glanced away, and whistled.

Qi Yan turned his eyes, and accidentally looked at the man again.He clenched his fists in frustration, but his face couldn't help but blushed.Strange, strange, he was just accidentally hugged by a man. He also hugged his good brother when he was studying at school in his previous life. What kind of unusual thing is this?

He shook his head sharply.

Hmph, it's clear that nothing happened, it's all because of Ah Jin's snickering.

"That... by the way, Dongmo, what were you looking for just now?"

"Ah, I mean, I..." Si Dongmo recalled seriously, then remembered, "By the way, there seems to be no more lobsters in the store."

Qi Yan straightened his clothes and counted, and it seemed that today was the day when Xia Ji Spicy Shrimp Shop came to deliver live lobsters.They usually come to drop off in the morning, but it's so late today, but I haven't even seen anyone.

"That's weird, did Boss Xia forget to deliver the goods?"

Ah Jin, who was listening to their conversation, interrupted at this moment: "You two are talking about the crayfish from Xia Xiangxiang's family, right?"

"Exactly!" Qi Yan turned his eyes, "Brother Ah Jin, do you know the reason for this?"

Ah Jin put his hands on his hips, shaking his head and shaking his head: "That's not true! When I came to the town to deliver goods to you, I passed by Xia's shrimp field, and saw many girls in their family yelling there, and it was very noisy. I momentarily Curious, I went up to ask, and guess what—”

Si Dongmo's eyes widened: "What's wrong?"

"Oh brother, your eyes are too wide..." Ah Jin exclaimed, seeing the man's expression suddenly returned to a state of facial paralysis, he coughed dryly: "This guy from the Xia family told me that they The next time I came to fish for crayfish in the shrimp field, I found that the fence beside the shrimp field had been demolished. It turned out that a huge lobster king suddenly appeared beside the shrimp field. It swung a pair of big pliers and smashed the fence It was smashed, and even knocked out the guards and the beasts!"

"Ah! Then, what about their lobster?"

"Oh, what else can I do? That giant lobster is taller than a man and bigger than a horse! It raised its arms, and the other shrimp soldiers and crab generals naturally followed it, and they all ran away from the pond with a few bangs! The members of the Xia family are all worried over there, and the Lobster King brought a large group of small shrimps, and they all ran to the back of the hillside to hide. They set up camp on the mountain, and they want to fight against Boss Xia and the others to the end!"

Ah Jin described it vividly, while shaking his head and sighing: "Hey, you said that the business of Xiaji Spicy Shrimp is going smoothly, why did this happen to happen? The little one who was raised so hard The lobsters rose up and ran away with other shrimps... In the next few days, the crayfish will definitely not be able to be sent back, maybe they will all be taken away by the shrimp king!"
