Day and night tour

Chapter 50 Looking at each other
After taking a shower, Zhou Xuan returned to the room to put down the basin and found that the house was as clean as new, even the window glass was shiny.

"Xiao Fuzi is really efficient."

Zhou Xuan put the bowl away and went to the cafeteria.

The troupe's cafeteria was rather simple, with a green-tiled roof and two red-brick chimneys. There were a dozen square tables in the room, and the chairs were long benches.

There was a row of wooden basins where the dishes were served, and the dishes were placed in the basins.

Yuan Buyu had a sullen look on his face. He leaned on a spoon and scooped a spoonful of fried pancake shreds for every person who came, like a machine.

Zhou Xuan went to the cupboard to get the rice bowl and walked towards Yuan Buyu. Before he had taken two steps, Yu Zhengyuan just happened to enter the cafeteria.

"Xuan Zi, you look well." Yu Zhengyuan was not being polite; he really thought Zhou Xuan looked well.

His face was flushed, his eyes were bright, and his body seemed to be straighter.

"Big Brother, you look pretty good, but your waist isn't feeling well lately. Why are you always hunched over?"

"Is it not bent?" Yu Zhengyuan couldn't help but look at the cupboard.

The door of the cupboard is made of two pieces of glass, one in front and one in the back, each standing upright in a corresponding wooden groove. When you want to take a bowl, just slide the glass to the side.

The inside of the cabinet was painted black, and with it as the base, the glass became a not-so-clear mirror.

Yu Zhengyuan looked at his body in the glass. He didn't seem to be hunched over, but stood straight.

However, it is just as Zhou Xuan said, his waist has not been well recently. He sprained it while exercising two days ago, and the bone was injured. He is still wearing a plaster.

Although he had a sprained waist, as the manager of an opera troupe, Yu Zhengyuan had to go out every day to discuss business with people. Hunching his back was not good for his image, so even if his waist hurt, he always reminded himself to keep his back straight.

"Did I bow subconsciously when I greeted Xuan Zi just now?"

Yu Zhengyuan was thinking as he walked, and his pace quickened unconsciously. He was clearly coming behind Zhou Xuan, but when it was time to get his meal, he was already standing in front of Zhou Xuan.

"Master Yuan, why are you unhappy?" Yu Zhengyuan stretched the rice bowl in front of Yuan Buyu.

Yuan Buyu said unhappily, "My apprentice has asked for leave, and I, as a chef, have to be responsible for serving the dishes. How can I be in a good mood?"

Pah! A large mass of fried pancake shreds was thrown into Yu Zhengyuan's bowl.

"Did you forget? I don't like fried pancakes. Let's have something else."

"Then let's have steamed buns." Yuan Buyu stuffed two steamed buns.

"Didn't you order any meat?" Yu Zhengyuan looked into the vegetable bowl curiously.

Yuan Buyu waved his hand impatiently to drive them away: "It's good enough to have white flour buns. Many people can't even afford steamed corn bread... I'll give you a plate of pickles, eat it."

Yu Zhengyuan sighed, holding the steamed buns and pickles, waiting for Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan also held out the basin: "Old Yuan, two steamed buns."

"You don't deserve to eat steamed buns."

Zhou Xuan was stunned. I am the young master of a troupe, and I am not even worthy of eating steamed buns?

"You only deserve this..."

Yuan Buyu lowered his head and took out a small basket from under the table. It contained a large, greasy meat pie, four meat buns, a bowl of soda broth, and a bowl of soy milk.

"Eat first, the raw hot beef noodles will be served soon!" Yuan Buyu pushed the basket in front of Zhou Xuan.

Yu Zhengyuan looked down at the steamed buns in his bowl, then looked up at Zhou Xuan's basket full of buns, his eyes full of confusion.

"Why does Xuanzi have so many delicious foods, but I only eat steamed buns?"

"Can you compete with Xuan Zi? He needs to eat more."

"why?"

"He's growing!"

Yu Zhengyuan, Zhou Xuan: "..."

……

Yu Zhengyuan and Zhou Xuan sat side by side. Zhou Xuan couldn't bear to see the senior brother swallowing his saliva, so he tore off half a meat pie and handed it to him. "Senior brother, you should eat more too. You need to keep up with your nutrition when you are out running errands."

Yu Zhengyuan took the meat pie and finally felt more at ease. He said to Zhou Xuan, "I'll have to take care of you from now on."

"Ah? Why are you taking me with you?"

"Go to work! The boss said that he would let you participate more in the team's business in the future..."

"it's not good?"

Zhou Xuan just wanted to lie down, not opening his mouth and waiting for others to serve him food and drinks. If he hired someone to lift his chin, he wouldn't even want to chew his meal himself.

Yu Zhengyuan obviously misunderstood Zhou Xuan's meaning, thinking that he felt he was not good at business and was a little nervous.

He immediately warmly advised: "Don't be stage-frightened. No matter what you do, just follow your senior brother. He will definitely help you on your way and make sure that your business is stable."

After hearing these words, Zhou Xuan was a little moved. There was nothing to say about the senior brother. He was a really kind-hearted person, but he was not very considerate.

"I'll try it for a few days first." Zhou Xuan thought about participating in the business for a few days first, and then talking to his sister after a few days - whether he could just eat, drink and have fun in the future.

Yu Zhengyuan patted Zhou Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Do your best. Sometimes even the senior brother envies you."

"Why do you envy me?"

"I envy you for having a capable, sensible, and warm-hearted senior brother!"

“……”Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan felt that the eldest senior brother was really suitable to be a manager, as he could flatter himself in roundabout ways and catch you off guard.

"What are you talking about again?" Yuan Buyu brought beef noodles and advised Yu Zhengyuan: "Old Yu, you said you had a sprained back, but you forced yourself to straighten your back. Be careful not to get a hidden disease in the future."

"I told you that your waist was not in good condition, but you refused to admit it." Zhou Xuan also scolded Yu Zhengyuan.

Yu Zhengyuan smiled apologetically.

"How did you know that Old Yu had a sprained waist? Old Yu is such a strong-willed person, he couldn't have told you about his minor illness or injury, right?" Yuan Buyu asked Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan ate noodles and said, "I noticed it. When he met Senior Brother, he was hunched over... He's still hunched over now."

Yuan Buyu tilted his head to glance at Yu Zhengyuan, who was standing with his back straight, and was a little confused about what Zhou Xuan said.

There is no bending of the waist, but you insist that he is bending of the waist. Is what you see different from what we see?
Suddenly, Yuan Buyu thought of something and slammed the table: "Yes, we are different!"

Zhou Xuan wiped the beef soup off his face with a handkerchief after being startled. "Old Yuan, next time you get excited, don't bang the table when others are eating noodles. The soup almost splashed into my eyes."

"Xuan Zi, do you know that your spiritual power has improved again?"

“When did I become psychic?
"Now!"

Zhou Xuan held his cheek, looked around the room, and said, "I didn't see any ghosts, how can I be spiritual?"

"You are a fool all your life, of course you don't understand. 'Seeing dirt' is a characteristic of psychic. If psychic perception goes a step further, it can be used to read faces."

"Face reading? The kind that looks at the face and the palm?" Zhou Xuan asked.

Yuan Buyu shook his head and said, "Facial and hand reading are another way of looking at a person. What I mean by looking at a person's appearance is his/her birth and his hidden qualities.

People have many appearances. People with prominent family backgrounds have the appearance of luxury; big businessmen have the appearance of great wealth; people with diseases have the appearance of pain. Your senior brother sprained his waist, and his pain was caused by the waist injury. This appearance showed that he was hunched over in pain, and you saw it."

Zhou Xuan suddenly realized that when he went to the bathhouse, he saw Lao Ma looking weak and he accidentally recognized his face!
"If I have this ability, I can become a doctor and treat patients, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?"

"What a waste of talent! How can you be a doctor with such great abilities?"

Yuan Bu took the bowl without saying a word and went on with his work.

Zhou Xuan and Yu Zhengyuan were full and went to work.

Glancing at Zhou Xuan as he walked out the door, Yuan Buyu sighed and said, "Xuan Zi's ability in physiognomy is a perfect match for us storytellers. Is this really a fate sent by heaven?

That's not right. Why did his psychic ability improve so quickly? From seeing the internal organs to reading the appearance, even a Blood Well psychic would have to suffer a lot to achieve this..."
