Chapter 50 I'll give you two vegetable buns

In the kitchen in the backyard of the inn, everyone was preparing for steamed buns and side dishes for breakfast. The firewood in the stove was burning, the red flames rushed out, and white smoke was floating on the old steamer.

Summer is already hot, but this small and airtight kitchen is even worse. The air is like a viscous ** that can't flow. Shan Xiaowu has just entered for a while, and his vest on his forehead is already covered with sweat.

In the kitchen, except for the shopkeeper who just went out, there was only a middle-aged man wearing a white apron and waving a knife on the cutting board. There is no need to think that it was Chef Master Hua. Shan Xiaowu wiped off the sweat stains on his forehead, tidied up his hat, walked over and bent down and bowed. "Good morning, Master Hua. I'm the new helper. Your name is I'll be fine with Xiaowu."

"Are you the temporary worker hired by the shopkeeper?" Master Hua, who was as fat as all the chefs, kept cutting vegetables on his hands. On the one hand, he looked up and down, and his face was full of suspicion, "Is this little body? Can you carry water and chop wood?"

"Yes!" Shan Xiaowu nodded heavily and raised his arm to squeeze the muscles of a fitness man. "Master Hua, don't think I'm thin. In fact, I have a lot of strength. Not to mention carrying water and clitting firewood, it's okay to kill cattle and killing pigs."

"Come on," Master Hua obviously didn't believe it. He poured some lard into another pot, threw the cut vegetables in, waved the shovel and stirred it, and didn't forget to turn around and roll his eyes at Shan Xiaowu. "I don't usually work here, but I'm suddenly a little busy these two days, making your thin arms small. I don't expect my legs to carry water and chop wood," he pointed to several dishes piled up in the corner of the wall. "You wash the dishes in the corner first. Put your hands and feet quickly. I'll use them later at noon."

"Absolutely no problem," Shan Xiaowu rolled up his sleeves, raised his hand to compare a military posture, and roared with full momentum, "I will live up to your expectations."

"Well, you're the only one who does this." Master Hua was amused by her action. He wanted to laugh and cared about cooking, so he raised the shovel and made a scary move. "Don't play with your mouth, go to work quickly, or be careful of my shovel."

"Yes, the little one will go, right away."

He spit out his tongue and knew that Master Hua was easy to get along with. Shan Xiaowu was released and jumped out of the kitchen, carrying a wooden bucket to draw water and ready to wash the vegetables.

Master Hua poked his head out of the kitchen, wiped his apron with his hand, and joked, "Be careful, don't fall into the well."

"All right, all right." Shan Xiaowu smiled back to him with a grimace.

Although Shan Xiaowu is a daughter of Shanfu in this life, she is not a ten-finger without touching the sun and spring water. With the memory of the previous life, she has a lot of time to go in and out of the kitchen. If she has nothing to do, she will give full play to the ability of a time-travelling woman and copy what she has eaten in her last life as much as possible. What spring rolls, flower cake ice cream, green onion, lion head, sweet and sour spare ribs There are also brewed meatballs and so on, which made the whole house obedient to her.

Not to mention cooking, she did a lot of things like washing vegetables in her last life. Naturally, she would not be like other girls raised in a boudoir.

In terms of bricklayer theory, dishes with insects are the most natural and pollution-free. In modern times, if you eat something casually, you have to worry about how many members of the periodic table enter the body.

I thought about it in a mess. After washing the vegetables quickly, Shan Xiaowu helped with the cabbage buns. Although it was not as good-looking as Master Hua's, it was also eye-catching.

Since ancient times, Shan Xiaowu was surprised by Shan Xiaowu's performance, and he was also a little impressed by her. Especially when she showed her unique skill of making sweet and sour fried fish in front of him, Master Hua patted her on the shoulder and praised her talent.

After finishing the kitchen work, Shan Xiaowu will also go to the front yard lobby to help when he is free. He will follow the shopkeeper to bring food and water. Because she is sweet and smiling all the time, and her service attitude is also good. Throughout the day, not only Master Hua praised her, but also the inn shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this person hired him. No injustice.

It was not until it was getting late that the guests in the inn basically fell asleep, and Shan Xiaowu beat his waist to help the shop Xiao Er and moved the bench back to the table.

He received today's wages from the shopkeeper, carefully put the fifteen copper coins in the money bag and took them back in his arms. He greeted everyone with a smile and was ready to leave.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, come here." As soon as she crossed the threshold, the shopkeeper who was making an abacus suddenly raised his head and shouted at her.

With a jump in his heart, Shan Xiaowu touched his nose with a guilty heart. At the same time, he shouted in his heart that he was dead. On the other hand, he blocked his stomach that swelled slightly because Master Hua secretly stuffed her for her for supper. He slowly turned back with a pitiful face, "Shopkeeper, you don't want to buckle. Am I paid for it? I have a very hard job today, and I didn't break half a bowl.

At most, she stole a lot of things from Master Hua, but it was given by Master Hua. It should not be stolen.

"S nonsense, who is going to deduct your wages? You did a good job today. I can see it with my eyes," the innkeeper knocked on the table and looked left and right. Seeing that the shopkeeper was yawning far away, he lowered his voice and said, "I want to say, if you are not in a hurry, it's better to stay and help more. God? How about your wages?

These days, it is very difficult to find a diligent and honest helper like Shan Xiaowu. The shopkeeper believes that he is far-sighted. Of course, he has to pull people down first.

"Ah?" Shan Xiaowu couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that it was for the purpose of calling her. She thought it was to deduct her wages. "To tell the truth, in fact, if I have time, I also want to stay, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with my brother when he goes far away, so I can't stay for a long time."

"That's it..." The shopkeeper looked sorry.

Shan Xiaowu also knew that it was the inn shopkeeper who saved himself from his short-term work in times of crisis. At this time, it was not appropriate to refuse others, so he thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you do this, shopkeeper, I'll help you for five days. What do you think?"

She stretched out one palm and waved it. She continued, "Five days is the most. If I delay it again, I may miss the time to find my brother, so please forgive me."

The innkeeper thought for a moment and immediately agreed. Even if he couldn't keep people, it would be profitable for her to help for a few more days.

"I'll go to the shopkeeper first. See you tomorrow, little brother."

Seeing that the matter was solved, Shan Xiaowu didn't stay much. She worked all day and was sweating. Now she just wants to take a hot bath and fall asleep - of course, because she is now a tramp living on the street, it is absolutely impossible to take a hot bath. At most, untie the belt and go to the river to find a hidden Just wipe the body in a covered place.

The next morning, Shan Xiaowu still came to the inn early to help. After a day of running in, she is now probably used to everyone's working frequency and can also cooperate well.

"Master Hua, why don't you open a few more windows in the kitchen? In this way, if the wind comes in, it should be cooler. While pulling the bellows, Shan Xiaowu did not forget to empty a hand to wipe off the sweat that was about to drip into his eyes.

Because her face was stained with pot ash, she was inattentionally, and the black on her face was wiped away, like a flower cat coming out of the chimney.

"In most of the kitchens in this city are like this. It's not a big family. If you want to open a few more windows, you have to be willing to spend money. There's nothing you can do if you're afraid of the heat. If you stay for a few more days, I'll get used to it. Master Hua, I've been smoking by this stove for more than ten years." Master Hua was cooking. As soon as he turned around, he saw a gray face. She looked embarrassed, so she laughed and pulled off a hanging clean cloth and threw it to her. "Ok, the fire is strong enough. You don't need to blow it anymore. Go and wash your face."

Shan Xiaowu was still so stupid that he didn't know what was going on, so he let Master Hua push out the kitchen. When he went to the well to get water, he found that his face was so miserable. However, she did not pay attention to her appearance like other women. When she saw this, she was just slightly stunned, and then slowly used the cloth. The strip was soaked in water and slowly wiped off the pot dust on his face.

"Second brother, Jade, where have you been?" Why don't you wait for her to come back? Or did they not find themselves, and then were deceived by the sudden chivalrous man who appeared somewhere else?

Looking at the water in the wooden basin in a daze, Shan Xiaowu's thoughts drifted far away. If it is really as he thinks, won't a lot of unpredictable things happen if he stays here for five days?

If something happens to the second brother and the jadeite...

"Little Five, Little Five! Where are you? Come back soon." Master Hua's loud voice came from the kitchen, which shocked Shan Xiaowu's anxiety and sadness all over his mind.

"It's here. I'll be right there." Pour out the dirty water and run into the kitchen without delay.

"Someone outside wants to have two banquets. There are not enough dishes. I'll make a list for you. You can buy some quickly." Master Hua said with saliva, grabbed a piece of straw paper casually, wrote several kinds of vegetables and fruits on it with black charcoal as a pen, stuffed it into Shan Xiaowu's hand, and then pushed her out of the door, "Go quickly, go, before the market is over now, it's too late to catch up."

Shan Xiaoyi pressed her hat with her hand and grabbed the crooked menu with one hand. She hurriedly pulled the small cart stuffed by the chef to her and went to the vegetable market in a muddle.

Just a few steps away, Shan Xiaowu bumped into a little beggar with a hunchback and a numb face.

The little beggar is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Because he can't eat for a long time, his body is thinner than Shan Xiaowu. In addition, Shan Xiaowu walks like a bull and only knows how to rampage with his head down. Therefore, the two collided, Shan Xiaowu took two steps back two steps, and the little beggar fell to the ground and begged. It's a long way to get rid of the broken bowl.

"My bowl..." The little beggar didn't care about the pain in his buttocks. When he got up, he had to grab his own money tools.

Shan Xiaowu was taller than him. Seeing this, he was also guilty, so he quickly ran several steps, picked up the broken bowl, squatted down in front of the little beggar, and handed it to him, "Here you go."

The little beggar hugged the bowl tightly, his nose twitched, and tears almost fell down.

Shan Xiaowu looked at his pouty face. Although she was a little unbearable, she really couldn't sympathize with that face at all. "Well... I'm really sorry just now. I didn't mean to..."

The little beggar ignored her, just hugged the bowl, and tears fell down in a string.

"I, I still have two vegetable buns here. Can I give them to you? Don't cry."

He wanted to comfort him but didn't know where to start. Shan Xiaowu thought about it for a long time, and then remembered that she only nibbled a steamed bun for breakfast, and she put away all the vegetable buns given to her by Master Hua.

I wanted to keep it for dinner, but now that this happens, it's best to make amends.

Reluctantly sent the two vegetable buns to the little beggar. Sure enough, he only took a look and immediately stopped his tears. He raised his dark little face and asked carefully, "These two buns... give them to me?"

Shan Xiaowu nodded heavily, and then stuffed the two steamed buns into his arms. "I'll give them all to you."

"...Is it really for me?"

It seemed that he couldn't believe that the pie would fall from the sky. The little beggar held the two vegetable buns, but only swallowed his saliva and refused to eat half of it.

"Yes, I promise it's really for you. Eat it quickly. I know you should be hungry too, right?"

"Well," the little beggar held the two steamed buns in his arms, looked up at Shan Xiaowu, and nodded his head. "I haven't eaten for a day or a night."

"Then why don't you eat it quickly? Don't worry, I said I'll give it to you.

Under the coax of Shan Xiaowu, the little beggar grabbed the steamed bun and devoured it.

"Eat slowly and be careful not to chop."

The little beggar only cared about eating steamed buns and rolled his eyes. He only whined a few times in response to Shan Xiaowu's words.

"Look, let you eat slowly," he didn't feel dirty and patted him on the back. Because there was no water, Shan Xiaowu couldn't help him. " By the way, what's your name? When I come here again in the future, I will ask you to eat, okay?

When the little beggar heard this, he suddenly stopped eating. He just mechanically swallowed the steamed bun, and then looked at her in a daze, "You... are you serious?"

"Of course it's true," Shan Xiaowu followed him on the steps, with his hands supporting his waist and a proud face. "Let me tell you, I used to hang out in this area. I haven't been to this famous restaurant in Jinling City. It's just because there was a small problem this time that I was separated from my brother, so I had to work and save money first. When I get home, I will have money to treat you to dinner next time.

"Well... I'll wait for you." After all, the little beggar is not old, and he is focused on filling his stomach, so he only listens to Shan Xiaowu's words.

"No problem."

"Okay, you continue to eat your steamed buns. It's time for me to buy vegetables, otherwise I will miss the market later, and Master Hua will definitely scold me to death."

Clap your hands and tidied up his clothes. Shan Xiaowu stood up and walked to the cart, but suddenly turned his head, "by the way, you haven't told me your name yet?"

"My name is Xiao Liuzi." The little beggar swallowed the vegetable bag and replied quickly.

"Little Six? Hey hey, it's similar to my name. Okay, I remember," he waved to the little beggar. Shan Xiaowu smiled and pulled up the cart and walked slowly in the direction of the vegetable market. "My name is Shan Xiaowu. Remember it well. I'll treat you to eat next time. Break it~"

White? What does that mean?

Xiao Liuzi looked at Shan Xiaowu's back, scratched his messy head with his dirty hand holding half a bun, and muttered, "It's strange, why do I always feel that this person is so familiar? Where have I seen it..."
