All-Rounded Strategy Game - Chapter 193
Xuan Qing’s hand holding Jiang Li’s waist was a little harder, coupled with his slightly displeased words just now, this kind of behavior can even be said to be possessive, making Jiang Li slightly dazed.
Although Xuan Qing was jealous because of Qian Qingqing’s matchmaking between himself and Qian Qingqing, but this was the first time for such an obvious move. Jiang Li thought that when he got up in the morning, the system told him that his favorability had risen to 43%. He couldn’t help but wonder, did anything happen after he left Xuanqing’s room last night?
At this time, the little girl who fell to the ground let out a cry: “It hurts!”
Her voice interrupted Jiang Li’s thoughts, and he saw her looking at him tearfully: “Brother Jiang Li, why don’t you catch me?!”
Jiang Li learned from the memory of the original body that the young girl was named Lu Xianxian, the youngest daughter of the proprietor of the powder shop next door. Because the two are close to each other, Lu Xianxian often visited Jiang’s Inn when she was young. The original body always treated her as a younger sister. In his spare time, he taught the little girl to recognize characters and read books.
Jiang Li saw that she did not fall lightly during the fall, so he temporarily put aside the matter of favorability, walked over to help her, and asked with concern: “Did Xianxian fall in pain?”
“It hurts to death.” Lu Xianxian grabbed his hand and got up from the ground. The moment she touched her face just now, although she responded extremely quickly and covered her face with her hand, she still fell into a big fall.
Lu Xianxian has just turned sixteen this year, and he was just as old as the first year of high school in modern times. To Jiang Li, who has lived for several lifetimes, he is a child and a little sister. Jiang Li saw her flattened her mouth and looked aggrieved. He couldn’t help being a little funny. He stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair and said, “My brother will make you breakfast in a moment.”
“Did you do it yourself? Alright!” Lu Xianxian’s eyes lit up, and he was so happy to see Jiang Li nodding, and he forgot the pain of falling.
“How do you know that I’m back?” Jiang Li asked her, it was still early, and he hadn’t left the house either.
Lu Xianxian said, “I went shopping with my mother-in-law in the morning and ran into Uncle Cai. She told me.”
“That’s it.” Jiang Li nodded.
Xuan Qing watched the interaction between the two, frowned slightly, and looked down at the hand she was holding Jiang Li’s waist just now. After Jiang Li walked away, she felt an inexplicable empty feeling in her palm. , Making him uncomfortable.
After Lu Xianxian came over, she kept walking around Jiang Li, and she followed Jiang Li to help. Father Jiang could be regarded as watching her grow up, and it is no wonder that she knew that she had been close to Jiang Li since she was a child.
It was Xuanqing, looking at her graceful pink figure, she felt dazzling.
Uncle Cai, who came back from buying vegetables, saw Xuanqing staring at Jiang Li and Lu Xianxian, and said casually: “Oh, Xianxian is here. Master Xuanqing, let me tell you that these two children have grown up together since childhood. Alright.”
He just passed by and said casually, and when he finished speaking, he took the vegetables into the room, and did not notice that after he finished speaking, Xuan Qing’s face suddenly became cold.
After all the work of the inn was opened for business, Jiang Li went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients that he needed today. Although there are not too many guests at present, he can’t neglect any of them.
Lu Xianxianyuan wanted to follow Jiang Li, but was summoned back by the boy in his shop.
As soon as Xuanqing stepped out, he was stopped by Father Jiang, took him to a table to sit down, and made tea and snacks for him.
Seeing Father Jiang’s gentle smile, Xuan Qing couldn’t refuse. After saying “thank you”, he took a sip of tea in his ardent eyes.
Father Jiang was satisfied now, humming a little song and returned to the checkout counter, and started to calculate yesterday’s bill with an abacus.
In the kitchen, Jiang Li and Uncle Cai worked together to marinate the marinated ingredients, adjust the sauce and other ingredients, and put the soup in a crock for simmering.
After preparing the ingredients, Jiang Li told Uncle Cai to look after the soup in the crock, then washed his hands and went out to the front hall.
As soon as he arrived there, a guest came down from the stairs. It was the man last night, with a four or five-year-old boy beside him.
The man took his son to sit down by the window and asked, “The shopkeeper, what delicious introduction?”
The only young man in the inn had already come over. Seeing the man sitting down, he quickly took the teapot with his hands and feet ready to greet him. Jiang Li took the teapot from him and said, “I’ll come.”
The young man was a newcomer six months ago. Although he knew that Jiang’s father had a son studying abroad, he didn’t meet him. He was taken aback and said, “Guest, you…”
Upon seeing this, Father Jiang said, “Xiaodouzi, this is my son.”
Xiaodouzi seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he looks ordinary, but he is really clever, he immediately shouted at Jiang Li: “Hello young master! I will do all these rough tasks, and you can rest aside. “
“You don’t need to rest. Go to the kitchen and see if Uncle Cai can help.” After Jiang Li said, he took the teapot and walked towards the man.
Xiaodouzi looked at him, then looked at Father Jiang next to him, and saw that Father Jiang had no objection, so he said “Okay”, then turned and went into the kitchen.
Jiang Li poured tea for the man, gave him a long list of dishes, and asked him what he wanted to eat.
The man was very satisfied with the noodles Jiang Li cooked last night. He specifically asked if Jiang Li was cooking today. After being confirmed, he ordered several dishes and then ordered another soup before stopping.
When Jiang Li returned after ordering the dishes, Father Jiang reminded him in a low voice, “Xiao Li, in the dish you just ordered, we don’t have crisp bamboo shoots, roasted chicken, and golden silk roasted fish bones here. Why don’t you let the guests change them?”
Jiang Li smiled and said, “It’s okay, as long as you have the materials, I will do it.”
I ate the noodles made by Jiang Li last night, and I have to say that Father Jiang was still a little looking forward to the dishes he cooked, so he didn’t change the dishes anymore.
Jiang Li was afraid that Xuanqing would be boring sitting alone, so he went to say hello to him before going to the kitchen, and began to prepare breakfast for the guests.
The few dishes he ordered were all prepared with the ingredients just now. It was not difficult to make. With the help of Uncle Cai, he quickly made four dishes and one soup.
A steamed short rib, an almond cabbage heart, a crispy bamboo shoot and diced chicken, a golden silk roasted fish bone, and a fresh mushroom tofu broth.
While he was cooking, Uncle Cai, who helped him smell the scent, felt hungry again after having eaten the buns in the morning. While helping, he praised: “Xiao Li, I didn’t expect you to not only read well, but also cook. The cuisine is much better than me. I have been a chef for so many years, so I am ashamed to compare with you!”
Jiang Li smiled and said, “Uncle Cai, don’t be humble. Everyone can see your cooking skills. I will teach you what I know when I look back. Our business still depends on you and my father to support you.”
Although he knew that he was talking politely, Uncle Cai still listened very comfortably and said a few words “where and where”.
After preparing the guests’ breakfast, Jiang Li also cooked his own breakfast. Xuanqing didn’t eat meat and fish. He also used a new pot specially to make some vegetarian dishes for Xuanqing.
After eating breakfast made by Jiang Li, Father Jiang became more aware of his son’s cooking skills, especially when the man with the child was eating by the side and praised him, he suddenly felt that maybe what his son said The method of turning an inn into a restaurant is not infeasible.
As long as there are guests coming to dine, Jiang Li will cook, and all the guests are very satisfied with his cooking skills.
After the guests had settled and left, Jiang’s father took the initiative to ask about the renovation of Jiangli Inn.
Jiang Li could hear that he had moved, and he opened up the current shortcomings of his inn. Now the business in the store is so bad that even if the restaurant is not changed, it will not last long.
He didn’t know the problem he was talking about. It’s just that the store has been open for so many years and has been struggling to make ends meet in the past few years. If it really needs to be remodeled, it will cost a lot of money.
When Jiang Li heard that he was worried about expenses, he said nonchalantly: “Don’t worry about this, I have it here.”
“Do you have?” Father Jiang was puzzled. Although he tried his best to give Jiang Li the best life within his ability, what he could give was still limited.
Jiang Li looked at Xuanqing on the side and said, “Little master, please do me a favor, the bank note I gave you that day, first…”
“Upstairs.” Xuan Qing interrupted him, “I will take your money for you.”
He increased the tone of the three words “your money” and made Jiang Lizi smile. He originally wanted to say that he would borrow from Xuanqing first. He didn’t expect Xuanqing to see through his intentions and directly said yes in front of Jiang’s father. His money.
Listening to what he said, Father Jiang looked at Jiang Li unclearly: “Money? Where does the money come from?”
“Is such that……”
Jiang Li briefly talked about the affairs of Qian Yuan’s home, ignoring the danger of Jiang Feihua, so that his elderly would not worry about it.
After listening to Father Jiang, he looked at both of them with admiration, and said with a smile: “You have worked hard. You did it right.”
After the silver was settled, Father Jiang didn’t have too much worries. He settled the matter for the time being, but the detailed reform plan still needs to be discussed.
After Jiang’s father agreed, Jiang Li took Xuanqing out of the inn, planning to take him to have fun in Qingshui Town.
Qingshui Town is named after the Qingshui River, which surrounds the entire town, giving it a taste of the south of the Yangtze River. Although the place here is not particularly large, it has beautiful scenery and simple folk customs, which is very suitable for sightseeing.
The folk customs of this world are more open than the ancient times in Jiang Li’s impression. There is no serious difference between men and women, and there are no rules that women should not go out of the street. The streets here are very lively all year round, and there are endless hawkers on both sides. , The business of various shops and restaurants on the street is very good.
When passing by the hawker selling sugar haws, Jiang Li bought two bunches and smiled and said to Xuanqing: “Little master, thank you just now. I just borrowed the silver from you.”
When he laughed, his eyes were bent into the shape of a crescent, and his dark pupils were shining with stars under the sunlight, which made Xuanqing’s heartbeat, who wanted to reach out and touch his eyes. impulse.
“……thanks.”
Xuan Qing suppressed the sudden throbbing in her heart, reached out to take the candied haws he gave, and took a bite under Jiang Li’s urging, the sour hawthorn smell spread in his mouth, he looked at the person in front of him, but inexplicably Feel the sweetness.
“Congratulations to the host, the male lead’s favorability has increased by 5%, and the current favorability is 48%.” The system prompts.
Hearing this, Jiang Li tightened his hand holding the candied haws, laughed in a low voice, and opened his mouth to take a bite.
It’s a bit sour, but it still feels very sweet.
The two of them wandered around the market with candied haws, shouting all around the street, and more and more pedestrians came and went. When Jiang Li found out that Xuanqing was not with him, the people around him had changed several times.
When Xuan Qing came to Qingshui Town for the first time, Jiang Li was worried that he could not find a way back, so he hurried back to find him.
It’s just that there were too many people on the street. He searched for a long time and didn’t see anyone. He was a little anxious at the moment. Regardless of being on the street, he shouted: “Xuanqing!!”
As soon as his words fell silent, his wrist was suddenly pulled from behind, and a familiar voice came from behind: “I am here.”
Jiang Li hurriedly turned his head and saw Xuanqing standing behind him. While he was relieved, he couldn’t help but say a lesson: “Where did you go? I can’t find you for a long time, you…”
His words stopped suddenly, his eyes fixed on the white hair ball raised by Xuan Qing with one hand in front of him.
Xuan Qing explained: “I saw this just now, I always thought you would like it, so I bought it.”
The pedestrians passing by on the street suddenly seemed to be frozen, and the loud noises stopped. Jiang Li looked at the white hair ball in front of him, and saw that it raised its head and yelled at himself: “Meow~”
Seeing the little guy’s dependent eyes, at that moment, he felt that his heart was about to melt.
