Qingfeng Xu Xu

Before Xu Qingjiu finished speaking, Xu Mulin suddenly raised his hand and placed it on Xu Qingjiu's forehead. Xu Qingjiu looked at Xu Mulin strangely and heard Xu Mulin say:"You thought I was verbose before, what happened today?" Xu

Qingjiu said angrily:"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, I know. Senior brother, you are all caring about me."

While chatting with Xu Qingjiu, Xu Mulin dressed up and took Xu Qingjiu out. When passing by a stall selling meat cakes, Xu Qingjiu was The aroma attracted me, so I ordered two meatloaf. Just as I was about to pass one to Xu Mulin, I was suddenly pushed by the person behind me. Xu Qingjiu staggered two steps, but was supported by Xu Mulin. Xu Qingjiu I thought I was blocking someone's way, but when I turned around, I saw that the road was very wide, so I wouldn't have blocked anyone.

I saw the man who had just pushed me away standing in front of the stall, without even looking at Xu Qingjiu. Two more people came next to him, wearing the same clothes. It seemed that they were disciples of which sect. They felt strange and were about to ask questions when they heard the person standing in their original position say to the stall owner:"Boss, I want all these meat pies."

Originally, when there was a business, the boss should greet him warmly. But the boss looked like he was too angry to speak out.

The man who had spoken just now saw that the boss didn't move, so he impatiently urged:"Hurry up and put it on for me."

But the boss made no move.

A woman came next to her and said politely:"Sir, wait a moment, I'll pack them up for you right now."

After saying that, she quickly wrapped the meat patties placed on the surface in oil paper and handed them out. A disciple came forward to take it, then turned and left with the leading disciple. Xu Qingjiu watched for a while, and now he finally understood what was going on. He stopped the few people and said in a deep voice:"You have to give money when you buy things. Didn't anyone teach you?"

The leader asked. He glanced at Xu Qingjiu and said with great disdain:"A good dog doesn't block the way, no one taught you?"

Xu Qingjiu looked at the troublemaker in front of him and was about to take action. The person who had just made meat patties for those people The proprietress hurriedly came forward to hold Xu Qingjiu,"Master, it's okay," and then took out some coins and gave them to the disciple of the sect, and said humbly:"I'm sorry, Master. I'll treat you to tea with the money."

That disciple After taking the money, he called the two people next to him and left.

Seeing the three people walking away, the landlady walked up to the boss and packed up the stall. The boss stood there without moving. After the wife packed up her things and was about to push them away, the boss suddenly got angry and took the stall away. Push down. Xu Qingjiu was in a fog when the boss suddenly came to him and cursed:"What does it have to do with you? Do you need to bother me?"

Xu Qingjiu was confused and did not understand what happened earlier. In this situation, I was scolded inexplicably again, and I stood there a little at a loss.

The boss said to himself again:"If you don't do anything, just let them eat a few cakes in vain. Once you open your mouth, we will have to lose money again. Who do you think you are? I want you." Are you meddling in other people's business?"

Xu Qingjiu still stood there not knowing what to say, then she heard Xu Mulin say coldly from behind:"He is my junior brother. See those people don't give money to buy things, help you ask It’s just a sentence, but he doesn’t know that you are so happy. If you are not willing to give money, can they still snatch it from your pockets? What does it have to do with my junior brother?"

The proprietress packed up the stall again, and she was still very calm at first. I stood there for a while and suddenly started crying. The boss turned around and scolded the boss's wife again:"Why are you crying? What's the use of crying? You can only escape from this kind of life if you die." After scolding, he limped away, leaving the boss's wife crying alone.

Xu Qingjiu has never encountered such a scene, and he still hasn't figured out what is going on. But thinking about it, it should be those disciples of the sect who are bullying others, but what is the attitude of the boss? Thinking that he is the first The first time he acted chivalrously, he ended up in disgrace. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.

Seeing Xu Qingjiu looking helpless next to him, Xu Mulin comforted him:"It's not your fault." After saying that, he took out his wallet and gave some money to the proprietress. The proprietress didn't take it, so Xu Mulin had to put it on the stall. , turned around and pulled Xu Qingjiu away. Xu Qingjiu followed behind and was silent for a while before murmuring:"How could this happen? I just wanted to help with good intentions."

Xu Mulin stopped, turned around and looked at Xu Qingjiu and said:"That's right, you're out of trouble Yu was kind-hearted to help, but didn't know the inside story. The boss said those words because he felt aggrieved and helpless. Qingjiu didn't need to blame herself, and don't take it too seriously."

"Yes, I saw them for the first time today, so naturally I didn’t understand the reason, so I did something wrong and caused them to lose more money."

"Qingjiu did nothing wrong. What you just said is also correct. You have to give money to buy things. If there is any financial dispute between them, they should not directly seize other people's things. I think , the stall owner just tolerated it and didn’t dare to provoke him. He gave the money because he was afraid of getting into trouble later."

"Then if it was my senior brother who said so and I helped them, why did I get scolded by the boss?"

"It’s not hard to think about it. You helped them today, but after all, we are just passers-by here, but they will still have to make a living here in the future. Even if we teach a lesson and get back today’s pie money for the boss, tomorrow, after What are they going to do? We can't stay here and take action for them."

"Senior brother is right, I did something wrong"

"Didn’t Qingjiu say it himself just now? You originally opened your mouth to defend out of good intentions. If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with it. If everyone does things carefully and has to sort out everything clearly, then no one will be willing to do these things anymore. There will definitely be a perfect solution. This method can really help them, Qingjiu said, right?"

"...Well, senior brother is right"

"So, just be yourself. With your senior brother here, you don’t have to worry too much."

"Okay, I understand, thank you, brother."

Xu Mulin rubbed Xu Qingjiu's head to express comfort,"There is no need to say thank you to senior brother."Seeing that Xu Qingjiu's face finally no longer had the depressed look just now, Xu Mulin took a bite of the two meatloaf that Xu Qingjiu had just stuffed over him and continued,"These meatloaf taste pretty good."

Xu Qingjiu took the other one from Xu Mulin's hand, took a bite, smacked it carefully, and said,"It tastes really good. After saying that, he took a few bites of the cake in his hand. After eating, he was still not satisfied. Seeing Xu Mulin still chewing the palm-sized cake slowly, he suddenly felt more hungry in his belly, and continued:"But it’s just not enough."

Xu Mulin listened to what Xu Qingjiu said, turned around and said:"It has been several hours since you had dinner this morning, and you were busy with my things in the meantime. I was too careless and didn't even think about it. Come on, let's find a place to eat something delicious."

Xu Qingjiu's intention was realized. He reached out and swallowed half of the cake in Xu Mulin's hand. Xu Mulin tapped his forehead lightly before he jumped forward two steps and stopped hanging on Xu Mulin.

"Senior brother, the doctor said that you should eat lighter. Why don't you appreciate it?

Xu Mulin said amusedly:"You are obviously greedy, but do you mean to show me favors?""

"Brother Mingjian."After Xu Qingjiu finished speaking, he returned to Xu Mulin's side and walked side by side with silly joy. After finishing his laughter, he remembered that Xu Mulin was still sick and asked with concern:"Senior brother, are you okay? Are you tired? Why don't you just find a restaurant to have something to eat? You can also take a break. We've been shopping for a while. Xu

Mulin turned to look at Xu Qingjiu and said softly:"I'm fine. I drank the medicine and had a good sleep. I'm already fine." We only walked around for a while, how could I be so tired? Let's go, we'll be there just a little further"

"Senior brother, have you been to Jiangning Mansion before?"

"Wei Zeng, haven’t you been with me all these years? If I had been here, would you still not know?"

"How do you know which restaurant has the best food?"

"When I came out, I just asked the innkeeper about it."

"...Senior brother, you really don’t feel relieved for a moment. If you can’t eat when you go out this time, then we can come out next time. Senior brother really doesn’t have to worry about these things so much when he is sick."After Xu Qingjiu finished speaking, he stopped and stood there with his head lowered. He unconsciously thought of seeing Xu Mulin sick this morning, and also thought of the time he was fooling around by the river yesterday, looking for delicious food. His thoughts were gone, and some resentment towards himself slowly arose in his stomach, and he supported himself out of thin air.

Xu Mulin looked at Xu Qingjiu's look and instantly understood what Xu Qingjiu was thinking about. Mulin really didn't want his preference and care for Xu Qingjiu to become a burden to Xu Qingjiu, so he hurriedly said:"Although the porridge cooked by Qingjiu is very delicious, it is still too bland. After eating it with Qingjiu for so many years, Being used to those with strong taste, this mouth can't help but want to eat some. Can Qingjiu fulfill his senior brother's wish?"

Before Xu Mulin finished speaking, Xu Qingjiu lowered his head and remained silent, but his shoulders swayed slightly. When Xu Mulin finally finished speaking, Xu Qingjiu couldn't help laughing and looked up at Xu Mulin. He smiled and said,"When did senior brother become a greedy person? Is this obviously a roundabout way of despising me?"

"Every word is from the heart. Let's go, take senior brother to eat something delicious."As he said that, he pulled Xu Qingjiu through the streets. When he arrived at the door of the restaurant, he turned to look at Xu Qingjiu and continued to joke:"If Qingjiu doesn't want to eat, then you can go back and drink some porridge. Senior brother goes to eat by himself, Qingjiu really doesn’t have to force himself."

While they were still far away, Xu Qingjiu could smell waves of fragrance coming. Now when they arrived at the door, the fragrance was even more tempting. When Xu Mulin deliberately made fun of herself, Xu Qingjiu did not admit defeat. He pretended to say:"The name of this restaurant, 'Come and stay', is quite interesting, so there's nothing wrong with trying it reluctantly."As he said that, he walked into the restaurant, not caring that Xu Mulin continued to make fun of him next to him.

Xu Mulin raised his head and looked at the restaurant's sign, and said amusedly:"Why did you change the sign for this 'Yuehua Building'?"After saying that, Xu Qingjiu entered the restaurant without looking back. He lowered his head and smiled lightly for a while before following Xu Qingjiu, who was led by the waiter to the second floor. The waiter saw Xu Qingjiu behind him at some point. The person who followed him thought that the waiter downstairs did not pay attention to the greeting, so he came up to find a seat by himself. Just as he was about to greet Xu Mulin, he heard Xu Qingjiu say leisurely next to him:"The person behind is my attendant, he doesn't want to eat. , just follow the person who came up to serve you, don't worry about him."Before Xu Qingjiu finished speaking, he heard Xu Mulin coughing behind him. After Xu Qingjiu finished speaking, he spoke from behind:"Yes, yes, yes, please just greet my young master and don't worry about me. I'll just go back and drink some leftover porridge from yesterday."

This time, it was Xu Qingjiu's turn to choke and cough. The waiter next to him listened to this sentence and scratched his head, wondering what drama the two young men were doing. But looking at Xu Mulin's demeanor and appearance, it was impossible to believe it. This is really a follower. He turned sideways to make way for Xu Mulin and led the two of them to sit at the larger table next to them.

"Master, how about this place? It’s lunch time and there are a lot of people. Although this location is a little inside, it’s quiet and it’s next to the window."

"It's good. My family doesn't like liveliness, so this place is just right."

"......"

"...You two gentlemen, please take a seat."As he said that, the waiter took out the menu cards and put them on the table, and continued:"These are our signature dishes. What flavors do you two gentlemen like? Do you need me to recommend them to you?"

Xu Qingjiu and Xu Mulin responded almost at the same time.

"Be lighter..."

"Stronger flavor..."

I think the waiter has greeted guests from all over the world, not to mention thousands, but hundreds of them. Before the two young masters finished speaking, they placed the sign on the table according to the order of Xu Mulin and Xu Mulin. The tastes mentioned by Qingjiu can be divided into two categories.

"These are on the lighter side, and these are on the heavier side. Before Xu

Mulin could say anything, Xu Qingjiu quickly ordered a few from the light side,"This, this, and that, which soup sells more?""

"Sir, the 'Red Clay Shredded Chicken' you just ordered is stewed. If you want to add a separate soup, you can have the 'Three Fresh Fish Ball Soup'. The river fresh food in this season is very delicious."

"Okay, let’s add some crab meat, lion’s head, and Longjing shrimp."

"Good son. Sir, would you like to have a taste of the wine from our shop? The wine is brewed by our shopkeeper’s own method. The wine is particularly clear...."

Xu Mulin, who had been drinking tea since he sat down, said:"There's no need to drink. I, my junior brother, don't drink well, and we still have to hurry.""

"......"

"Okay, gentlemen, please sit down for a while. The food will be here soon."

After the guy walked away, Xu Qingjiu looked at Xu Mulin opposite who couldn't help laughing while drinking tea and said,"Brother, why do you dislike me again?" Xu Qingjiu complained dissatisfiedly:"Besides, the amount of alcohol is all. I got it through practice. Senior brother, you don’t even let me drink. How can I drink?..."

"No, no, no, what are you doing practicing this for?"

"Sir, I have a bottle of sake, please use it slowly."

The waiter at the next table was serving food, and the sound of announcing the food reached the ears of Xu Qingjiu and Xu Mulin. Xu Qingjiu, who was drinking tea, was suddenly choked. The two looked at each other, and Xu Qingjiu hurriedly called out to them. The young man who hasn’t gone far after ordering food

"What other orders do you two gentlemen have?"

"What is the name of the wine in your store?"The two asked in unison

"Wine. The wine was brewed using our shopkeeper's own method. The wine was very clear, so we named it"sake".’"

When Xu Qingjiu heard the name, although he didn't drink any water, he coughed as if he was choking next to him. Xu Mulin looked at Xu Qingjiu, smiled and said,"Sake? Would you like a pot of Qingjiu to try?"

The two of them added a small pot of wine. As the waiter walked away, he couldn't help but think: This wine brewed by his employer is really popular.

After the guy walked away, the two started making fun of each other again.

"In which family would a servant sit down and have a meal with his master? You think so, senior brother?"

"Naturally I am the only one in the family"

"Yes, I am the only one in the family, but what I order is light food. I wonder if my follower who likes heavy food will think it is too light?"

"That's not true. It should be much better than the white porridge I drank in the morning. Besides, if it is paired with sake, it won't feel bland."

"Oh, hearing you say that, I feel a little wronged to you, right?"

Xu Mulin smiled even more happily.

"Xu Qingjiu pretended to be angry and hummed:"Give me back the money bag. If you don't have money, what kind of 'sake' can you order?""

"Didn't you say you want to practice drinking? Of course I ordered it for you. Besides, there is no reason to get back what you gave away."

"Did I ever say that the money bag was for senior brother? I just said it was lent to you.

Xu Mulin sighed:"How could Qingjiu speak like this?" Sometimes he was a follower, and sometimes he was a senior brother. He obviously gave me something, but now he said he was borrowing it."

"Then the senior brother also said that he likes heavy food?"

"I have nothing to do, just follow what you like"

"As I like? Then senior brother, please remember that from now on, senior brother should think more about yourself. You will inevitably have to worry about yourself when you are sick. Are you trying to make me feel guilty on purpose?"
