Chapter 55: Young Master Luochuan Did Not Appear
"My dear girl, it smells so good, so good!" The girl's voice was soft and sweet.
"Xiao Gu, wait a minute, it will be there soon." An Qiao also responded to her. This girl was the youngest child working in the store and Shuanzi's younger sister.
Because she is so cute, everyone who comes to buy things will be attracted by her cuteness. In addition, although she is young, she is very fast in packing and collecting bills. She is liked by many people in the grocery store. When she is not here, people will ask, "Where is Xiao Gu?"
Before we knew it, the little girl had become the mascot of this grocery store.
"Xiao Gu, you are so greedy." Young boys like to tease girls in these ways.
But Xiao Gu was not afraid at all, "If you are not greedy, why do you always drool behind me?"
Xiao Gu's voice was so cute that it made everyone laugh. It was so adorable.
Soon, Anqiao's spicy hotpot was ready. Qitao and Yiyi poured milk tea for everyone, and they sat down at the boss' table.
"Everyone, let's eat. I hope our store will do better and better, and we can eat more delicious food." Almost all the people who have worked in Kyoto restaurants today were here. Even the few people who bought food at the back sat on one side. Only the Tongshan couple and their little daughter were a little disappointed because they couldn't come.
"Yi Yi, next time we will go to the farm to fry it and specially for your parents to eat." An Qiao looked at Tong Yi Yi.
Yi Yi, who originally missed his parents, immediately smiled with gratitude.
The young lady was really good to me. She had handed the grocery store over to me before and even enrolled me in counting and bookkeeping classes. Now I am already the boss of the Kyoto Grocery Store. The young lady trusted me and only took care of the stocking. She trusted me in everything.
Tong Yiyi thought secretly that he must repay the young lady well.
An Qiao looked at Yi Yi who was deep in thought and couldn't help but said, "Don't think about other things while eating, or you'll choke to death."
Everyone at the table burst into laughter again.
Because it was still the dinner time, most of the employees in the store took turns eating. After each person came in and had their fill, they would take over for the next one, so nothing serious happened.
An Qiao finished eating and walked out. It was almost night, and this Kyoto-style midnight snack was still very popular. There were countless people coming to the store every day to eat their blind boxes, so there was no time or opportunity to be lazy for the time being.
Seeing that the time had come for Master Luochuan to appear, An Qiao was afraid that he would do something abnormal, so she would usually let the little beggars go home early.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, he packed into the carriage and sent Yi Yi and Koi away.
An Qiao took a deep breath. Recently, she really didn't have the energy to deal with this Luochuan Master. This man was shameless and very annoying. An Qiao usually drove such people away. But this man was involved in a murder case. It was useless to drive him away. She could only accept him.
Seeing that it was already August, An Qiao planned to make Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes in the grocery store, so she posted a notice, saying that reservations could be made in about a week, as there might not be enough items available if purchased on site.
After writing it, he pasted it on the door and the wooden boards inside the house. But just as he turned back to the house, a heavy rain came down without any warning. Fortunately, An Qiao had already entered the house, otherwise he would have been soaked like a drowned chicken.
When Yi Yi and Jin Li came back, the horses were soaked.
"Oh, you're selling Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes. Do you know what Mid-Autumn Festival is? Oh, I forgot. A loner like you is not qualified to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival." An Qiao didn't even need to look up to know that it was another crazy fan of Young Master Luochuan.
An Qiao has seen crazy fans in modern times before, but it is rare to find such persistent and real crazy fans offline.
An Qiao didn't give in either, and said with a smile, "Hey, here we go again, what would you like to eat today, sir?"
Seeing that An Qiao didn't seem annoyed, the man said angrily, "There's nothing to eat."
An Qiao was helpless, "Why hasn't your Luochuan Master come today?"
The young lady looked around and saw that Young Master Luochuan really hadn't arrived yet, so she stamped her feet in frustration and said, "I won't eat anymore. My Young Master has lost interest in your restaurant, humph."
After he finished speaking, he pushed the door open and went out. Seeing the heavy rain outside, he turned back with a pale face, "Just give me something to eat. Your crappy shop is so far away, and I have to come so far for our young master. I am starving. Hurry up, you can't be too slow."
An Qiao was speechless, but it would be foolish not to make money when you have the chance. Besides, this Young Master Luochuan didn't come tonight, was it because of the heavy rain or some other reason?
According to Gu Qingyun, this Young Master Luochuan became very stubborn when he grew up because of his childhood experiences. In order to take over the Jinhuan Tower, he went there every day for a full three months.
And he was so abnormal in the Kyoto restaurant, his eyes were always hunting and invading, and he looked weak and frail. An Qiao felt that it was not that simple. If he didn't come tonight, he would have to go to the Dali Temple to report it.
After preparing food for the weird young lady, An Qiao returned to the counter. Seeing that it was getting darker and Master Luochuan still hadn't arrived, she had a bad feeling.
"Jinli, you and Yi Yi should hurry to the Dali Temple and tell Gu Qingyun that Young Master Luochuan did not come today." An Qiao went to the backyard specially and lowered her voice.
Koi nodded and left the restaurant.
But I don't know if it's because of the heavy rain or because there haven't been any cases recently, all the lights in the inner courtyard of the Dali Temple have been turned off, and only the clerks are still patrolling and standing guard in the outer courtyard. Seeing that the visitor is from the Kyoto Restaurant, Miss An, with the familiar face beside her, asked, "Miss An, what can I do for you?"
The sound of rain was very loud, and the voice was a little unclear. Jinli shouted loudly, "Shaoqing asked me to do something, but now it happened suddenly, so I must notify Shaoqing immediately."
The clerk's expression immediately changed. "Shaoqing's house is in this alley. Go quickly to the mansion. I'll hitch my horse and come right over."
After listening to this, Jinli nodded, and Yi Yi also pulled the reins very cooperatively. The two of them hurried to the marquis' mansion quickly, not daring to delay for a second.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the two of them ran to the gate of the marquis' mansion. The rain was so heavy that it washed the ground and no sound could be heard.
Jinli got out of the car in the rain. It was late at night and the gate of the marquis' mansion was closed.
“Knock—knock—”
The sound of rain drowned out the knocks on the door. Jinli was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else and shouted at the door, "Shaoqing Sir—Shaoqing Sir!"
Finally, the door of the mansion opened, and a head popped out. "Who dares to make a scene in front of the mansion? It's already midnight. Aren't you afraid that the guards of Jingdu Prefecture will arrest you?"
"Sorry to bother you, please inform Lord Shaoqing that Jinli has something important to tell you." Jinli said anxiously. The rain soaked him as if he was in water, gurgling with steam.
