[129] Walking Alone on a Snowy Night
Ten days ago, at the beginning of Shen Shi, Guiyun Tower, Jinyang City, Bingzhou.
"Waiter, check out!"
"Come on, a plate of sauce duck, a portion of steamed Yellow River carp, two bottles of bamboo leaf green, two bowls of river fishing, and a plate of peanuts are provided by the shop. Customer, Chenghui, a hang of eighty words-" The waiter Li Jinlai sang a long voice, with a long tone. In fact, he deliberately amplified his voice so that passers-by outside the thick curtain not far away could hear it, and maybe it could attract one or two guests.
After receiving the money, Li Jinlai put the white towel on his left hand, smiled like a flower on his face, bent down and politely sent the guests out of the door, and then sang loudly: "You often come, walk slowly-"
He turned back to the store, but there was a gloomy look on his face. He leaned on a red painted poplar cabinet on the right side of the store door, looked up at the four tables of guests scattered in the lobby on the first floor, and couldn't be happy.
Less than two days after the new owner's house moved around Guiyun Restaurant, he hurried away and disappeared without a single person, and he didn't even leave a whisper and slow explanation. The brothers of the new owner didn't understand the business matters. They were a few good door gods who steadily suppressed the gangsters in the nearby Four Streets and Sixteen Alleys, but that would not be a waste of money.
A few days ago, five young and young came again. General Tingge said that he was his adopted mother's family, and now they all live in the backyard. It was lively and bustling. General Kege's words "Serve for a good life" added another expense.
"Oh-" He lowered his head and sighed, thinking of this damn old age. Since the drought plague in late spring and early summer, the restaurant business has not seen much improvement.
"What alas? You've been an old man in the store for six years, and you don't have any insights and price! You can't see the depth of the new owner? I haven't heard that even the Governor's Office would regard the new owner as a distinguished guest? What are you worried about? If you have such a long sigh, why don't you go and serve those tables of guests!" The accountant Lao Wang, who was lying on the counter and calculating the pages of books, raised his shiny abacus and tried to beat him.
The waiter Li Jinlai hurriedly avoided and laughed dryly. He straightened the white towel on his arm and walked towards the guests at the table. After walking for a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of lifting the curtain, and quickly changed into a smile on his face, blowing his face and greeted him.
"Guest..." as soon as he vomited, he swallowed the words afterwards. I saw that the crowd was wearing a thick white shirt, and his cold face was a little colder than the snow on his head and face, without any trace of fireworks.
"Qin, brother Qin, the new boss has not come back yet, so you are afraid you will run away again." The waiter frowned and said, but his body quickly flew away. The young man in front of him always gave him an indescribable aura, just like... like a trapped wolf, the breath of the wild beast was faint but made people feel cold.
Qin Feng kept walking straight to the backyard of the restaurant.
The waiter Li Jin came and smashed his mouth, raised his eyebrows, feeling that he was asking for trouble and was looking for things to do...
The backyard of Guiyun Building is a three-entry courtyard. The former boss Zhang Zhishan lived here for decades, repairing it more and diligently cared for. The whole courtyard looks no different from the newly-seated one. The front dean is four zhang long and eight zhang wide, directly connected to the first main hall, on both sides of the main hall, a small hall on the left and a two-ear room, a mixed room on the right and a two-ear room; the second entry is the main room where the owner lives, two rooms on the left and two-ear rooms, and a study room and a small hall; and the last entry is used as a place where women and relatives live, both for residence.
Since Du Tao and Liu Yuxuan took Ouyang Yu's adopted mother and family here, the courtyard has been no longer deserted. However, in the past month, after learning that Ouyang was seriously injured and was taken away by an old man to treat him, everyone was depressed. Even if Erlang, who was acquiring the Di Mansion, brought two cute children, it was just a joke. Whenever three meals a day, the old lady would always leave Ouyang Yu a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table and add an empty chair. She was looking forward to her adoptive son coming in with a smile and calling herself "Mother".
At this time, the sun sets west, and the residual light is reflected on the wooden door of the main hall.
Three basins of charcoal fires in the main hall were burning strong, but the people sitting in this hall were full of worry.
The old lady in the main seat looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, I will be blessed by the Bodhisattva to my son Ouyang Naizhen's hero. I will return sooner or later. Everyone should not act like this."
Everyone forced a smile and the atmosphere warmed up slightly.
"Hu~" A cold wind roared from the hall door, and the curtains were opened, and Qin Feng walked in mixed with flying snowflakes.
He walked quickly to the old lady and bowed respectfully: "Auntie, my aunt, and my nephew Qin Feng came to ask about my brother." After that, he stood aside, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and said nothing again.
Geye sighed in his heart that on the seventh day after Ouyang Yu left, Qin Feng, the white-clothed man often came here to ask about Ouyang Yu's whereabouts. When he learned that Ouyang was injured, he was like this every day and never stopped. What is strange is that he was only respectful to Ouyang's adopted mother, Li Wang, and was taciturn and very cold to the others.
"Brother Qin, there is still no news. You really don't have to do this every day. He will definitely come back!" Geye stood up and answered. He didn't want this man to come every day, for fear that the old lady would worry more.
Qin Feng frowned, squinted his eyes, and said as if he was thinking: "I want a horse!"
Everyone widened their eyes, not understanding what he was doing. The old lady sighed and stood up and ordered: "Geye, you are my brother, so I will not see you. The horse matter will fall on you, please be a good horse!" Without waiting for Geye to answer, she turned around and said: "Wulang, take a few sets of your winter clothes. Yun Niang, go to my room for thirty taels of silver. Qilang, quickly instruct the kitchen to make some crispy biscuits and add some sauce beef, and give them all to Qin Xiaolang!"
After the old lady's instructions, everyone gradually realized that Qin Feng was going to look for Ouyang Yu along the way, and they couldn't help but be surprised!
"Mom, I'll go too!"
"Mom, there are still babies!"
"Auntie, I'll go too!"
After everyone reacted, Goro Shiro, Geye and three old subordinates all stood up to ask for orders, as if they were on the verge of generals.
The old lady felt aroused. His adopted son Ouyang Yu was so popular. She had only been in the huge Jinyang City for a few days? She had gained a lot of reputation and popularity. She couldn't help but feel comforted Lao Huai, and was about to speak, but she didn't expect the curtain of the main hall to lift up again, but she actually walked in with a smile on Du Tao and Liu Yuxuan, who were brought to their family.
"Auntie, Brother Ouyang is a life-saving grace for me, so we will go!" When they heard everyone's conversation outside the door, they felt a little angry and came in to ask for their orders.
The old lady's face added a little more proud look and said, "You are my real brothers, but this cannot be done. If my son knows that the old woman arranged for everyone to find him, he might think that his reputation is weak. Haha, I don't have to go, just Qin Xiaolang goes. I, a bad woman, still have some vision, so don't worry!"
Qin Feng stood aside and listened to the old lady's arrangement. His cold face felt a little warm, and there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
"Thank you aunt!" Qin Feng responded immediately without waiting for everyone to ask for it. His opening made the matter a sure thing and could not be changed.
