The casual life of the flat space

Bai Tieying smiled and said, "What else is there to tell me? The insect plague will be over in a few days! By the way, has anyone from the government come?"

"No one from the government office came, but the guild notified us that every household was asked to volunteer to contribute people or money to fight the disaster. When you told me about this before, I thought that since the shop was closed anyway, I might as well ask the guys to help. Now it seems that we can only contribute money."

"Why? Don't you have enough money?"

"It's not a matter of money, but the food in the restaurant can only last until tomorrow at best. If people continue to come tonight, we won't be able to open tomorrow even if we want to."

"Whatever dish you need, I might be able to get it."

"Really? That's great! I was wondering, isn't it true that all the customers in a restaurant are cheap? It doesn't matter if the prices are a little higher, as long as we don't have to treat customers when they come."

"Okay, got it. I'll contact someone to send it to you later. Sister Zhou, I'm hungry. We haven't eaten yet. Can you spare a portion of the braised toad made by Chef Ji?"

"Why not? You two can go to the third floor. It's quiet there!"

After Zhou Shuqin finished speaking, she gave an instruction to Sanzi, and took the two of them upstairs and stayed with them until the food was served before going downstairs.

"Brother Mu! Thank you for protecting me just now. I will thank you with tea instead of wine!"

"Who are we talking about? Okay, don't mention it after I drink my tea!"

"But how do you know what purine means?"

"puff!"

Mu Qingqiu didn't waste any of the tea he drank, and it sprayed all over Bai Tieying's head.

"Yes, I'm sorry! Let me wipe it for you!" Mu Qingqiu hurriedly stood up and found something to wipe Bai Tieying first.

"Okay, stop moving, I'll do it myself..." Bai Tieying said with despair. If he hadn't reacted quickly and turned his face away, he might have been disfigured by now.

"Tie, Tieying, I, I didn't mean it..." Mu Qingqiu's face was as red as if he was drunk.

"I know, I know. Who knew you would react so strongly to this incident? Everyone has a confidante or something, not to mention that you are the eighteenth generation of the royal family! Oh my god! You can't be..." Bai Tieying said, staring at Mu Qingqiu's face, as if trying to find clues.

"No what?"

"You, who are chaste, were accidentally dragged to a brothel, where you happened to meet a singing girl who was in trouble. In the moment of danger, you stepped forward to save her. The woman had no way to repay you, so she could only give you her body.

However, the difference in status between you two is not tolerated by the world. In order not to affect your reputation and future, the woman became a nun, and you also left home to escape the pain of love. As the saying goes: I don’t know where the person has gone, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze... Ah! Why did you hit me? "

Bai Tieying spoke as fast as pouring beans, and she had said a lot before Mu Qingqiu could react.

"You're talking nonsense! What a mess! You're telling the truth. Did you read some picture book?"

"Me? Do I need to read picture books? Just the stories here," Bai Tieying pointed at his head, "can support the entire Shangan bookstore!"

"Oh, I see. I admire you! You are studying with Grandpa Wu, right? I will go talk to him later."

"What? What do you want to talk about?" Bai Tieying immediately sat up straight.

"Let's talk about how you have time to think about these things! Also, your uncle asked you to study medicine with him, but you always said you didn't have time. I guess you're pretty free, aren't you?"

"Oh my gosh! Lagudan, you are so uncivilized!"

"What the hell... it's so ugly, don't learn everything! I told you not to go, don't go! Not only will it be exhausting, but it will also lead you astray!"

"Oh my! I just realized that you are really good at changing the subject! You really deserve to be the 18th generation of the royal family!"

"What transfer? Who transferred?"

"Tsk tsk, such an innocent look. Okay, I was just asking, I didn't expect you to be on guard against your brother! Okay, I made you angry, and you sprayed tea all over my head, so let's call it a draw."

"What are you on guard against? Who is on guard against you?"

"Okay, okay, no, no. Hey, the food is cold, let's eat! We'll be busy later!"

Seeing Bai Tieying eating heartily as if nothing had happened, Mu Qingqiu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. Why was he competing with her? When had he ever won?

After the two finished their meal, Bai Tieying told Zhou Shuqin that she would deliver takeout to General Zhao in the evening in the name of Bafangke. She would prepare tables for twenty people and pay for them together with the lunch.

Zhou Shuqin was not willing to pay, but Bai Tieying said that he would not come to eat again in the future. After a dispute, the two finally agreed to reduce the lunch price by 20% and the evening banquet would be paid by all guests.

"Hey, northerners treat settling bills like they're fighting a war. It's life-threatening. Sister Zhou is too strong!" Bai Tieying sighed to Mu Qingqiu while sitting in the driver's seat.

"Haha, isn't it because you are too thin?"

"Mu Duidui, did you take any medicine today?"

"What is gunpowder?"

"Ah... could you please stop interrupting me?"

……

The two of them arrived at the county government office, and this time they were taken directly to the second hall by the gatekeeper. As soon as Bai Tieying entered, he bowed to everyone and said, "Bai Tieying greets the general, and greets all the senior officials!"

Mu Qingqiu was like a shadow, doing whatever Bai Tieying did, and rarely saying anything. Even though General Zhao introduced him on the day Chunweizhai opened, and he later followed Bai Tieying to toast at every table, those who were only acquainted with him didn't care much, mainly because Bai Tieying was too outstanding. But when they later learned about Mu Qingqiu's identity, they regretted it so much that their intestines turned green!

I won't mention the rest of the story, but after Bai Tieying greeted everyone, he said that the Bafangke Restaurant had prepared a banquet for the officials tonight, thanking them for their hard work in caring for the people of Shang'an. He also prepared two carts of vegetables for the officials as a token of his appreciation, and everyone thanked him.

Bai Tieying then said that she had already arranged the horses and carriages, and hoped that General Zhao would send someone to pick them up. The drum band she had proposed earlier was also undertaken by Xianyunju, and they could set off at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Seeing Bai Tieying's speed, General Zhao immediately asked General Li to go back to the camp with her to inspect the troops. However, Bai Tieying hoped that General Zhao would spare him a moment to talk.

"Uncle Zhao, I want to discuss with you to take all the remaining retired soldiers away. First, the current situation is turbulent and personnel transfers are not conspicuous. Second, food prices will inevitably rise after the locust plague, so it is better to reduce the burden on you now."

"Really?" General Zhao was indeed surprised. He had thought of what Bai Tieying said this morning, but he was too embarrassed to speak again after sending away 300 soldiers. He didn't expect Bai Tieying to bring it up himself and wanted to take over all the personnel.
