The days when I opened a tavern in Zongwu

Chapter 8 Abducted a cook

Next to her, Huang Rong looked at Li Changqing, who was lying on the rocking chair while drinking a small drink, showing enjoyment. Huang Rong couldn't help but look at the other empty chair next to her.

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Rong walked to the chair and lay down.

As he lay down, his feet lifted off the ground, and the chair shook slightly, the chill caused by the cold wind blowing outside the door disappeared instantly.

At this point, why didn't Huang Rong understand the reason why Li Changqing added iron plates on both sides of the stove at the door?
  Hanshan City is located to the west of the Ming Dynasty, surrounded by many rivers, and the humidity is even worse, making the winter solstice even more chilly.

Just like now, the courtyard is filled with snow and the cold wind is howling.

Even standing under the eaves, the chill came from all directions.

Even if you stay in the house, as long as the door is open, the cold will swarm into the house and then penetrate into the body along the back of the neck.

Lying at this door, unless you are using your internal energy, you will be so cold that you can't even rest, let alone rest. I'm afraid it will directly make people sick.

The iron plates on both sides of the stove at the door blocked half of the door because of the height of five feet. The biting chill and cold wind could only blow into the room from the heads of the two people, and then the chill disappeared under the influence of the pleasant temperature in the room.

After a while, smelling the rich fruity aroma coming from the side, Huang Rong turned her head and saw Li Changqing picking up the warm wine bottle on the table.

As the flask was poured, the amber-like crystal clear and light red wine was immediately poured into the cup.

At the same time, the rich fruit aroma also penetrates Huang Rong's nose.

It was only now that Huang Rong discovered that the wine pot contained not strong liquor, but green plum wine brewed from green plums.

"If you want a drink, get it yourself!"

"Also, remember not to put out the fire in the stove when cooking in the future. Leave some to light up the fires in several stoves to warm the house first like today."

Li Changqing said smoothly after placing the wine pot back in the copper basin used to warm the wine.

Huang Rong first said "Oh" in response, and then waited for Li Changqing to pick up the wine glass before picking up the wine glass herself.

After putting the wine glass to her mouth, Huang Rong sniffed it lightly and then took a shallow sip.

It tastes sour and sweet in the mouth, but the wine taste is not strong.

Coupled with the added flavor after warming, the taste is not bad.

Huang Rong was only twenty-eight years old now, and she was at the age where she liked sour and sweet things. After taking a sip, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she drank the remaining wine in the glass in one sip, and then poured herself another glass. .

Li Changqing on the side glanced sideways at Huang Rong, who was picking up the jug to pour wine, and then looked outside the room again.

Although green plum wine is delicious, it is still wine.

As for things like wine, whether it is heated or frozen, it will give people the impression that the wine taste is not strong, and people will drink too much unconsciously and get drunk alone.

What's more, this green plum wine is made by Li Changqing, and it can be said that it has both flavor and staying power.

Although Huang Rong was not so greedy that she drank the entire bottle of wine.

After a few glasses of wine, the warm wine and the alcohol gradually dispersing in her body gave Huang Rong a warm feeling all over her body.

As the heat from the stove outside the door hit her face, Huang Rong felt like her whole body was getting numb, and the alcohol was gradually rising.

After putting down the cup, he leaned his back on the recliner again.

As the chair made her body sway slightly, looking at the snow falling outside, Huang Rong couldn't help but imitate Li Changqing and let out a long breath, her body gradually relaxing due to the leisurely feeling and the fruity aroma remaining in her mouth.

After a while, as the alcohol went to his head, his big and bright eyes, which were still bright and bright, gradually began to become heavy.

Listening to the gradually longer breathing beside him, Li Changqing raised his eyes and glanced at Huang Rong beside him.

At this time, Huang Rong tilted her head and leaned on the back of the chair. I don't know whether she scratched it by herself or rubbed it on the chair. There was already a piece of flesh-colored skin sticking up next to Huang Rong's right temple hair.

If other people in the world were here, they would definitely be able to tell that Huang Rong in front of her was wearing a human skin mask to disguise herself.

"This girl is so brave that she dares to sleep soundly like this." Li Changqing is not stupid. If Li Changqing didn't notice the problem when he just bought Huang Rong, how could Li Changqing not notice the problem after being in contact with her for a while? Did you notice the strange behavior of the person next to you?

A person's identity can be disguised, but his character and behavior are developed over a long period of time.

Even those who are good at pretending may reveal their secrets if they are slightly inappropriate.

When Zhou Yongfu was here before, Huang Rong acted timid and lonely. But after entering the courtyard, although she felt docile, her words were full of briskness and her eyes were smart. How could an ordinary slave be sold and changed to another master? Should you be uneasy and cautious?
  Moreover, her behavior and tone of voice are also different from ordinary maids.

Huang Rong's cooking skills alone are much better than those of famous restaurant chefs outside.

If a maid like this opens a restaurant, she will definitely have food and clothing in the future. Who would easily sell such a cash cow for some money?
  "At such a young age, her cooking skills are far beyond ordinary people, and her performance is also quite agile. Her name is Huang Rong."

Judging from the information obtained so far, it is difficult for Li Changqing not to associate Huang Rong's identity with the daughter of one of the five uniques on Peach Blossom Island.

As for the antecedent, considering the recent situation, the only one who can match it is the female beggar who also had a pair of smart big eyes at the door of the dental shop early this morning.

"But shouldn't this girl be from the Song Dynasty? Why does she appear here in the Ming Dynasty?"

Although he was confused, Li Changqing felt a little at ease after roughly guessing the identity of the other party.

The unknown is often the most troublesome and worrisome.

If you can know the root of it, it will be simple.

After knowing Huang Rong's true identity, the situation became simpler.

At least, this girl is not a moody person who kills innocent people indiscriminately.

And he has no grudge against him.

I'm afraid it's just because I got too playful that I did this.

What gives Li Changqing a little headache is that he wants to find a maid who can take care of him for a long time.

And the person next to him may have suddenly become more playful.

Li Changqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"It looks like we have to go to the dental shop in the afternoon to look for Zhou Yongfu to continue looking for a suitable maid."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Changqing stood up slightly and reached out his hand to Huang Rong's cheek, using his fingers to flatten the section of the human skin mask lifted up by Huang Rong's temples.

"In life, you have to be confused when you should be confused, and you have to cooperate with the performance when you should be coordinated."

Just like now, if you see the truth but don't tell it, the young master will continue to do it.

And it’s time to see people’s hearts.

If he pretends to be stupid for a long time and can find a maid who can beat the wolf outside and manage the kitchen inside, Li Changqing's life will be much more comfortable.

After retracting his hand, Li Changqing picked up the coarse cloth, picked up the jug in the copper basin, and refilled himself with a glass of sake.

Sometimes I sip it lightly, sometimes I pick up a roasted peanut and drink it with wine.

After there were some peanut shells on the ground, Li Changqing, who had had enough wine after eating and drinking, also felt a little sleepy.

Gradually, Li Changqing closed his eyes as the chair rocked, until his breathing gradually became longer.

Snow was flying heavily outside the house, and the yard outside was already covered with a thick layer of snow.

The biting cold wind howls continuously, and sometimes falling snow blows into the house with the wind, but it melts instantly, making the air in the house even fresher.

The "cracking" sound of wood burning in the fire comes from time to time, bringing warmth slowly.

The green plums in the copper basin lull people to sleep, and the fire in the furnace lulls people to sleep in the cold weather.
