5: Working in ancient times

"Su Yan, this is the dish requested by the guests at the fifteenth table. Bring it to them quickly." Uncle Li, the steward in the kitchen, said to me anxiously. In order to prevent them from discovering that I was a woman, Uncle Iron Rooster reversed my name.

Come here and call me Su Yan.

"Oh... I'll go right away." The whole day, I was like a spinning top, spinning non-stop. So far, I haven't eaten anything and I'm already dizzy from exhaustion.

In fact, there were not many guests, but when Iron Rooster saw that there were no guests, he desperately asked me to mop the floor, wipe the table, and wash the dishes. Yang Fei and I did everything. They must have regarded me as a superman.

It's getting dark now, so hurry up and get over the day! Otherwise, I doubt I'll be able to survive it. When I was praying silently in my heart, a guy with no eyes bumped into me. I couldn't dodge, and it was like a plate of food.

He fell impartially onto a person who had just entered the door, and then the plate fell to the ground and was immediately scattered to pieces.

"Ah..." I screamed, "What's going on, what's going on!" Uncle Iron Rooster heard the noise and ran over quickly. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." In this case, I just tried my best to say

Someone else apologized.

"Master, are you okay? Are you burning something?" A forty-year-old middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and looked at him anxiously.

"It's okay! Go buy me some clothes quickly." He told the uncle, and the uncle hurried out.

I quickly picked up the towel on my shoulders and helped him wipe it. Fortunately, he wore a lot of clothes in winter and the food got cold quickly. Otherwise, he would definitely have been burned off a layer of his skin.

"Su Yan, what are you doing! You have already caused a lot of trouble today. Look, this dish is worth two taels of silver, and this waiter..." Iron Rooster came over and scolded me with a livid face.

"I didn't mean it." I protested in a low voice. "It's okay. If the clothes are dirty, you can wash them again. Shopkeeper, this dish will be included in my bill, so don't blame him anymore." I didn't expect him.

Patting the dirt on his body, he said to the shopkeeper generously.

"What? Su Yan, why are you so dazed! Why don't you thank the waiter quickly?" The shopkeeper looked at the man with a flattering smile and winked at me as hard as he could.

"Thank you." I bowed slightly. "I was blamed for being careless just now. I'm sorry!" He looked at me with concern. I raised my head and saw a pair of eyes as clear as water. He was so handsome.

He has an incomparable face and a slight smile. He is dressed in white. Although he is a little frail, he is more handsome than any costume star I have watched on TV.

I didn't expect that he was not only kind-hearted, but also so handsome. Did my morning wish come true? God really sent a god to save me? "Is this guest staying in a hotel or eating?" Iron Rooster saw his clothes.

If you look extraordinary, you must be a high-ranking official, so he immediately said enthusiastically.

"We are here to eat." The beautiful young man nodded to me, and then turned to look at Iron Rooster. "We have chosen the right place to come to our Yunlai Inn for dinner. The food here is simply the best in the world. Come on, please come up.

Take the wing!" Iron Rooster began to brag non-stop.

"All right!"

"Please..." Iron Rooster saw me still standing there, and immediately changed his expression, and said to me fiercely: "If you don't hurry up and do something, do you want me to deduct points from you!"

"Oh!" I reluctantly glanced at the back of the beautiful boy. I never thought that I, Yan Susu, would also be taught a lesson because I had no money. How sad!

Finally, the day passed. My hands and feet were almost stiff, and my body seemed to be no longer my own. It had only been one day, and I really couldn't stand it any longer.

And now that my father can't find me, he will be very anxious and sad. When I was feeling sad, Iron Rooster came in with an abacus. When I saw him, I became very angry. I simply turned away and didn't look at him. .

I happened to see a few cold steamed buns and a bowl of watery porridge on the table. These are my dinner tonight. Whatever! Eat first, my stomach has been protesting for a long time.

Picking up a steamed bun that was harder than a stone, I started to gnaw it hard. "Today you broke a total of ten bowls, seven plates, and overturned two plates of food. There was one plate among which the waiter paid the bill, so I will Not counting. The total of ten bowls is one hundred coins, two dishes..." Iron Rooster's fingers flew quickly on the abacus.

"You have to pay me a total of three taels of silver today...and I'll deduct ten points from you." "What? I've done a whole day's work, and I still have to pay you three taels of silver..." I stared. It's so unreasonable to look at him with your eyes!

"Yes! If you break my things, of course you have to pay for them! Do you think I don't need money to buy those things?" Iron Rooster answered me confidently.

"Then why do you deduct ten points from me?" "Because your performance is so bad, look at you..." The iron cock began to chatter about my faults again.

"But I only have four taels of silver a month!" According to his calculation, not only would I have no money every month, but I would also be in debt.

"I don't care. Anyway, if you don't pay off the money in one day, I won't let you go." Iron Rooster looked at me mercilessly. "Hey...Iron Rooster...you..." He ignored me. He protested and walked away proudly with his abacus in hand.

I am really angry to death. I never thought that one day I would be eaten to death. And it was still done by ancient people. It is really embarrassing and makes me angry to death. No, I can't just sit back and wait for death. I have to find a way.
