Yushanfang

Chapter 12 Twelve: A New Beginning

Everyone in the hall was cleaning the tables and sweeping the floor, preparing to close the shop.

"Is the moon silver missing?" The shopkeeper sat on one side and winked at Lin Xiang.

Hearing this, Lin Xiang shook his head, "No."

"En..." The shopkeeper suddenly frowned, seeming to have something to hide.

Seeing this, Lin Xiang looked down at the silver taels in his palm again, thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, as if he understood something.

"I heard that you have a younger brother—" the shopkeeper turned around and said suddenly.

Lin Xiang nodded.

Then the shopkeeper started to chatter and babble for a long time, and he just said everything he could say in a mess.

Lin Xiang looked at the other party calmly, and vaguely guessed what she meant.

At the end, the shopkeeper suddenly sighed, looked up at Lin Xiang with burning eyes: "I will pay you more wages, and you won't have to come back tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, all the maids and buddies in the hall stopped what they were doing, and turned their faces to look this way——

For a while, the restaurant was so quiet.

Only the uncle cook heard a complacent smile on his face.

Lin Xiang still looked at the other party calmly, hearing the words and did not refute or plead for mercy.

"The opening time of our restaurant is really not short, and the monthly income is quite a lot, but——" After speaking, the shopkeeper paused, and wanted to say something, but suddenly sighed: " In short, business is a little bit bad now."

That's right, that's right.So hurry up and get out, once the shopkeeper has made up his mind, no matter how much he begs for mercy, it will be useless.Uncle Cook was listening, thinking impatiently.

bad business?

Hearing this, Lin Xiang felt a little ridiculous.

I'm afraid the shopkeeper didn't finish what he wanted to say. Accidents happened frequently this month, and a lot of silver taels were lost back and forth, so the income was not as much as before, so I felt that this matter had something to do with me, and I really believed that uncle cook. If so, treat yourself as an ominous thing.

To be honest, whether the business is good or not has little to do with her, and she didn't attract the troublemakers. I just happened to help them that day, but in the end everything was left on me.

However, because the uncle cook has worked in this restaurant for many years, the shopkeeper subconsciously has a heart of protection, while I have worked in the restaurant for less than a month and only cooked dishes twice.

"I see." Lin Xiang nodded and put the silver in his palm away.

The shopkeeper opened his eyes slightly in surprise.

The uncle cook who heard the words on the side had a dull expression for a moment.

Out of the corner of Lin Xiang's eyes, he caught sight of the scene, and felt more and more funny in his heart.

I'm afraid that what I did was different from what they thought.Thinking about it, Lin Xiang said again: "Thank you, shopkeeper, for taking me in this month."

These words immediately made the shopkeeper a little overwhelmed.

The other party didn't even say a word of pleading, just like that... agreed?She also prepared a lot of words of refusal, isn't it... a little useless?
I only heard that Lin Xiang said again: "Lin Xiang will bid farewell to the shopkeeper here." After finishing speaking, he turned around and said goodbye to the boys and girls in the shop.

The other party walked cleanly... This, this, this immediately made the shopkeeper feel a little uncomfortable.

Uncle Cook's expression at the moment is also very exciting, colorful and like a palette, he originally wanted to see Lin Xiang cry for mercy and be rejected!I never thought that my wish would come to nothing.

This is really unreasonable, the previous one was still begging for mercy, but today's attitude... Thinking about it, the shopkeeper couldn't help but secretly said: Could it be that the other party has long been dissatisfied with the wine shop and has long since given up on it?
Thinking of this, I felt even more uncomfortable.

What right does a poor girl have to pick and choose her own restaurant?If I hadn't kindly taken her in, she would have been drinking the northwest wind somewhere, and she would still have resentment!

Thinking about it, I felt more and more anger rising in my heart. With a "bass", the shopkeeper stood up and walked into the hall.

……

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Xiang stood on the empty street, feeling a little emotional for a moment.

After all, it is a place where I have been working for a month, and it is impossible to leave now without feeling a little bit.

As for why she didn't ask for mercy, she naturally has her own plan. Originally, she was still struggling with how to tell the shopkeeper, but she never thought that the other party saved her a lot of trouble.

Thinking about it, Lin Xiang stepped forward.

The heavy silver tael in his hand made Lin Xiang feel extremely at ease, and he couldn't help speeding up his pace again.

"Give me ten meat buns!" Standing in front of the familiar bun shop, Lin Xiang had a faint smile on his face.

Old acquaintance!

The boss took the money that Lin Xiang handed over, and looked at the other party a few times. The other party's complexion was obviously much better than when they met a few days ago, and he was a little more energetic.

When the drawer was opened, a big puff of steam rose up, and there were big white and fat buns lying inside with bursts of aroma.

"Ten!" The boss picked out the buns, wrapped them in paper and handed them to Lin Xiang.

After taking the buns and thanking him, Lin Xiang ran towards the small temple in a happy mood.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Lin Xiang went out from the small temple early. Before leaving, he took out twenty copper coins from his body and handed them to Lin Yan, explaining: "I won't come back at noon today, you Use your own money to buy food." Then he left in a hurry.

I don't know how long it took to stop and go, and after passing through several streets, Lin Xiang stopped in the depths of an alley while looking around.

She looked up uncertainly.

"Restaurants—" muttering silently, Lin Xiang was dumbfounded, only to see that the sign was hanging crookedly, the lacquered wood was rotten, and there was a layer of dust on it, making it look dilapidated. Looking down, he only saw two A wooden door stood open.

Lin Xiang raised his footsteps and walked inside——

Standing in the room, she felt the darkness in front of her eyes, and the light was not very clear, so she had to stare and look around carefully.

The hut was a bit smaller than the restaurant she worked in, but because the room was small, there were not a few tables and chairs, and the cleaning was fairly clean, but it was empty inside, and after a long while, there was not a single customer!
Seeing this, Lin Xiang immediately doubted his decision.

"Oh, Miss Lin, you're here—" There was a burst of shouts in the silent room, which made Lin Xiang tremble and was startled.
