Kaifeng Bistro

Another scholar surnamed Li finally found a chance to get rid of the burning, and retorted: "I think the next few times are much better than the previous ones. Originally, the oil seller worked hard to study to repay his father for his upbringing, and wrote Later, his father died suddenly? Don’t you feel very sorry when you see this?”

"So let his father come back to life?" Yi Yi rolled his eyes disapprovingly: "It's just superfluous."

Li Shusheng didn't buy it, and the group split into two factions, almost quarreling, but Tan Zhifeng was powerless to stop him. He turned his head silently and looked at the piles of "The Oil Seller Enrolls His Father" and " Wang Tiejiang Fenghou marries the oiran", calculating the value of this pile of scripts in his heart.

Yi Yi soon felt Tan Zhifeng's unfriendly gaze on him, and he stood up and walked back quickly, with a look of disdain to argue with anyone.

It was getting late, and although there were several discordant voices during the banquet, the guests finally ended the meal with satisfaction. Chen Qing ran over and said, "Zhifeng, let us figure out how much it is in total."

Before Yi Yi came back, Tan Zhifeng closed the book in his hand, raised his head and said, "Uh... tea and snacks are free, and the hot pot counts as 160 renminbi. Mr. Chen, you gave me two taels of money this morning, so there is no need to pay any more , I have to find it for you."

"Why is it so cheap?" the scholar surnamed Zhou said in amazement: "160 Wen is only enough to buy ten steamed buns at Cao's house." , Zhuangyuan Building, placed in the wine shop of Sang's Wazi, even if we have a light meal, we will have to pay twenty or thirty guan, it's okay, it's mine, you just take it."

"Forget it, listen to the shopkeeper." Chen Qing pushed Zhou Shusheng's hand back, but he took out a bunch of big money and handed it to Tan Zhifeng, saying: "If I don't study in the Guangwen Library in the future, I will have three meals a day. I come to you to eat, whenever there is not enough, you can ask me for it again.”

The four people who were still worrying about money yesterday and couldn’t sleep, were thrown with copper coins one after another today. Tan Zhifeng was a little bit dumbfounded, and finally thought about it, and said: “I’ll keep your two pennies for now, at least it’s enough for you to eat.” In the first half month."

The people at the table finally stopped rushing to pay the bill, and began to straighten their clothes, put on their outer robes, and went out of the alley while talking.Only Chen Qing was still standing by the door, hesitating to speak.Zhuo Zhuo couldn't help looking at him: "Why, Mr. Chen wants to stay and wipe the table and sweep the floor?"

Chen Qing didn't think it was so funny: "Is that okay? I can clean it for you?"

Tan Zhifeng didn't answer Chen Qing's question, but turned around and said to Zhuo Zhuo: "Let the client work? Are you sure we can afford Mr. Chen's wages? Yiyi, you should tell Zhuo Zhuo what you usually say to me— —Come on, hard work is a habit, frugality is a virtue..."

Yi Yi came out from the back at this moment, and when he heard this, he turned his face upside down: "Tan Zhifeng was the one who asked me to say it, don't regret it. Don't look at how much money you get today, in fact, what you actually get Only 160 Wen, of which, the rabbit meat of the three rabbits I bought cost 160 Wen, as well as firewood, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, oh yes, the rice this morning, the noodles in the pot ...Actually, you have a net loss of 320 Wen. Come to Shangshang and ask, how much money does Tan Zhifeng lose a month?"

Chang Chang squatted on the ground, practicing writing with hand gestures: "780 characters! Zhifeng!"

"Wrong! It's [-] liters. To sum up, you don't have the ability to ask Mr. Chen to sweep the floor and wipe the table for you. Of course I can't do it either. I have never seen someone who cleans the account room." After Yi Yi finished speaking With a flick of his sleeves, he confiscated the book that he had lent to Tan Zhifeng, and walked up the creaking stairs gracefully.

The other three people downstairs stared at each other for a while, Tan Zhifeng first came back to his senses, facing the scorching expression that turned from anger to anger, he took a deep breath and stammered: "This... You can't blame me, I don't know that rabbit meat is so expensive. Besides, isn't this a 'trial operation'? Next, I guarantee that the next person will be the first official customer of our official opening, and I will definitely do the math Charge for the cost...Okay, can we stop discussing this in front of the guests."

Chen Qing still stood at the door with a look of bewilderment: "...I have to give you the money."

Tan Zhifeng smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't do business at a loss. I still have all your money. You can tell me in advance what you want to eat tomorrow morning."

"Ah, I..." Chen Qing also seemed to realize that this was an unquestionable order to evict guests.He racked his brains and thought for a while: "It's all... I can eat whatever you do."

"Hehe, the most difficult thing to do is 'anything' and 'anything'." Zhuo Zhuo muttered to the side, and then he became a little mad: "It's strange... why do I talk in the same tune as Yi Yi."

"I will prepare well." Tan Zhifeng walked over to lift up the thick cloth curtain for Chen Qing, the wind and snow outside poured in all at once, and he squatted on the ground and shivered unexpectedly with his vertical clothes.

Chen Qing put on his robe and bamboo hat, bid farewell to Tan Zhifeng, and walked towards the diagonally opposite courtyard door step by step. As soon as the door opened, Tan Zhifeng vaguely saw that the courtyard inside was quite spacious and fairly clean. It looks like someone cleaned it.

Tan Zhifeng exhaled lightly, and the white mist melted into the snow mixed with rain. "It's so cold." He took a last look at the dark alley, turned around and lowered the curtain, and said to the other two who were paralyzed by the counter and squatting on the ground: "You guys rest, I'll clean it up."

"Oh... obey..." Zhuo Zhuo dragged out his voice, snapped his fingers, and the pale pink hyacinth on the counter shook slightly. Under the dim yellow candlelight, her original soft and delicate color appeared a little dim. Soon they curled up into a ball quietly.

However, Changshang still kept the same posture and squatted on the ground stunned, looking past Tan Zhifeng and staring at behind him in a daze.Tan Zhifeng was also tired, and took Changshang's hand to help him stand up: "Look, I told you not to squat for so long, are your legs numb?"

He thought for a while, and felt that it would not be a problem for Changshang to squat on the ground all day and scribble, so he said: "Next time, I will make you a small table by the wall, and when I am free, I will teach you how to read and write?"

"No, no, look..." Changshang pointed to under the curtain where Tan Zhifeng was standing just now, only then did Tan Zhifeng realize that a gust of cold wind rushed in behind him.

It's so late, who will come?Tan Zhifeng turned around slowly, but was taken aback by the sudden appearance in front of him.

I saw a tall man standing at the door.He was wearing a blue blouse and brown coarse trousers underneath. His hair was tied up in a mess. His face could not be seen clearly in the shadow of the curtain, but it seemed to be injured and stained with blood.

He staggered in, put one hand on the nearest table, stabilized his body, raised his head, and looked at Tan Zhifeng and Changshang in front of him with sharp and stern eyes.

Tan Zhifeng's ears were buzzing, the side face of the man he rescued that night when he first arrived in Kaifeng, which made him uneasy, gradually overlapped with the dirty face of the man in front of him under the flickering lights in the room.

"Zhaozhuo, Yiyi..." Shangshang suddenly felt a little out of breath, and his voice was like a mosquito shouting: "Help, help... a beggar broke in..."

Surprisingly, neither Zhuo Zhuo nor Yi Yi moved, and Tan Zhifeng did not speak.Changshang had no choice but to hold Tan Zhifeng's thigh tightly, and looked away from this man with a vicious and bloody aura at a loss.

The man opened his mouth, as if to say something, but before he opened his mouth, his body swayed. Tan Zhifeng was about to step forward to help him, but saw him tilted to the side, and fell down powerlessly.

"Ah... dead!" Zhuo Zhuo screamed after appearing behind him, but Tan Zhifeng immediately covered his mouth.He put his finger on the man's nose to feel his breathing, and found that he was still alive, so he hurriedly asked Yi Yi to close the door, and the two worked together to put the man flat, and carefully lifted him to the back.

"Brother Zhifeng, now...now...how...what to do?" Shangshang stammered nervously: "Could he be a bad person?"

"I don't know." Tan Zhifeng tried his best to suppress the fluctuations in his heart, and said to Changshang as calmly as possible: "Get water first, and scrub him."

A green figure flashed behind the burning wall, and Yi Yi walked over with a basin of water.Tan Zhifeng tried the man's pulse, and found that his heart was still beating strongly, and he probably just passed out.Not knowing if he was injured, Tan Zhifeng hesitated for a moment, motioned for Yi Yi to join him, untied the hemp rope tied around his waist, pulled the sleeves, and took off the man's tattered blue blouse.

Tan Zhifeng's heart was pounding, the man was not wearing anything underneath, and he took off his short shirt, revealing his strong and thin upper body.There are many bruises and bruises on it, and it looks like it has just experienced a fierce fight.

Tan Zhifeng carefully wiped off the blood on his body with a cotton cloth, and checked the wounds on his body.He found that those injuries were caused by bruises, and there were a few scratches, but he didn't hurt his lungs. He breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Yi Yi to bring a cloth, and carefully wrapped the wound for him himself, and then, He began to wipe his cheeks which were hidden by his hair again.

Zhuozhuo approached Tan Zhifeng from outside with a broken bag of the man, followed by Shangshang, who was still a bit scared, when the two of them saw the appearance of the man after cleaning, they immediately exclaimed in unison.

When this man came in just now, he was indeed dressed like a beggar.In addition to his dirty body, it would not be against the law to lie down under the bridge hole and mingle with those refugees, but now that he has been scrubbed clean, he is a slender, well-proportioned, handsome young man.

He is in his early twenties, with a thin face, two neat bushy eyebrows slanted, deep-set eye sockets, closed eyes, long thick black eyelashes slightly curled, high nose bridge, slightly thick lips that are just shivering with cold However, under Tan Zhifeng's wiping and the warmth of this room, her rosiness gradually recovered.

"You picked up a treasure, Tan Zhifeng!" Zhuo Zhuo said happily: "Look, we are short of manpower now, you, no, we saved him, and he deserves a promise with his body. You can keep him You don’t need to give him money when you come down to work as a coolie. Anyway, you like men, I think he is quite suitable for you, otherwise you should stop looking for your ex-lover everywhere, just let him make do and be our boss !Wait... let me see what's in his bag?"

Tan Zhifeng stared blankly at the other party's closed eyes, not knowing why his heart felt sour.He raised his hand in a strange way, and stretched it towards the sharp-edged face of the other party.

In an instant, the man's eyes opened, his dark and quiet eyes gleamed with dazzling light, staring at Tan Zhifeng in front of him without blinking.
