When she got up in the morning, Xiao Xixi sat at the dining table, eating breakfast and thinking about what kind of pastries she wanted to make in the teahouse.
Yesterday she ate too much. Each teahouse has its own special snacks. Adhering to the principle of "you have nothing, I have it, but you have my advantage", I plan to find a few more refreshment chefs.
The first teahouse Xiao Xixi went to was highly recommended by He Xiu. Although the tea and snacks in this restaurant were average, the stories told by the storyteller during this period were particularly interesting.
In fact, Xiao Xixi also came to this teahouse yesterday, but when she came there was no one reading and she only tasted tea and snacks, which was really not good.
Come back today, Xiao Xixi plans to ask who wrote this story and see if she can poach the author.
Of course, if the author doesn't want to, she will respect other people's choices.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw a waiter driving a teenage girl in blue out the door.
"You are not welcome here, get out of here!"
The girl in blue is wearing clothes full of patches, but she is also clean. Logically speaking, the teahouse is open for business, so it should not refuse guests. As long as it can pay a few cents for tea, wouldn't it be fine?
Even if you can't pay, you don't have to kick people out like this.
Xiao Xixi walked over quickly.
The girl in blue didn't want to leave. She glanced behind the waiter anxiously and asked, "Isn't the shopkeeper here?"
The waiter pinched his waist and stood in front of the little girl, blocking the way. He said angrily: "It's the shopkeeper who asked me to drive you away. Don't come back again!"
"But before, the shopkeeper said that as long as the stories I wrote sold well, he would pay me five taels of silver. Now..."
The waiter interrupted her: "What story? What you wrote is nothing, and you still want money? Don't block the teahouse's business, and leave quickly!"
The girl in blue was about to cry. At this time, passers-by who didn't know the situation were also pointing at her. Especially those who had listened to teahouse storytelling, they didn't think that a little girl could write such an interesting story.
When the waiter saw that the door was blocked and the girl in blue refused to leave, he was ready to kick her over.
Xiao Xixi pulled the girl in blue behind her. When the waiter saw this, he quickly retracted his leg, causing pain like tearing in his thigh.
But he could only grit his teeth and endure it, after all, he couldn't offend the person in front of him just by looking at his appearance.
Xiao Xixi asked the girl in blue: "Are you okay?"
The girl in blue shook her head.
Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up and she asked, "You said you wrote the stories told in the teahouse?"
The waiter, who was covering his thighs and moaning, said hastily: "That's not true, she's talking nonsense!"
Xiao Xixi ignored the waiter, signaled Jiyue to shut up, and then looked straight at the girl in blue.
The girl in blue nodded blankly.
"Do you have evidence? For example, a previously written manuscript or something like that?"
The girl in blue was quite embarrassed: "The paper and pen and ink were given to me by the teahouse. After I finished writing, I gave them to the teahouse shopkeeper. I never left a manuscript."
"From what you say, you have been cooperating with the tea house for a while?"
"In the past two months, I have written three stories in total. The first two were very effective in the teahouse. I asked the shopkeeper for some money, and the shopkeeper asked me to write another one. He also said that if the third story was effective, he would be able to
If more people come to drink tea, just give me five taels of silver."
Xiao Xixi felt regretful in her heart. There was no evidence and it was hard to explain why.
But who is she? She is not a reasonable person at all.
Suddenly I felt that the character of the original owner was quite good!
"Let's go, I'll take you in to reason!"
Xiao Xixi was about to call Jiyue, only to find that Jiyue was playing with a whip in her hand, and the waiter had already disappeared.
"Ahem..." Xiao Xixi patted Jiyue on the shoulder, "Let's go in."
Jiyue put the whip back to her waist and followed Xiao Xixi obediently, as if she was not the one who had threatened the waiter just now.
Xiao Xixi thought to herself that she didn't know if the girl in blue had seen her just now. It would be bad if she gave others the impression of being ferocious.
Fortunately, the girl in blue didn't seem to notice, and was just looking at Xiao Xixi with gratitude.
Regardless of whether she can get money or not, as long as she is willing to help her, the girl in blue will be very moved.
The three of them walked into the teahouse. The waiter was hiding behind the counter, shrinking his head and not daring to come over.
Another waiter saw the three men being aggressive and quickly came to greet them.
"What would you like to drink, sir?"
Xiao Xixi glanced at him and asked, "Let your shopkeeper come out."
Often hanging out in the capital, the waiter saw that Xiao Xixi was not dressed like an ordinary person, and was probably someone who could not be messed with at all. He quickly bowed his back and nodded, indicating to the other waiter to call the shopkeeper, and he asked Xiao Xixi to find him first.
Sit down.
Xiao Xixi didn't even look at him, she just stood there and looked at the layout of the teahouse.
The storyteller in the hall was still talking eloquently. Some of the tea guests were listening to books and some were chatting. No one noticed that there was someone at the door who was preparing to cause trouble.
There are private rooms on the second floor, and there are tables and chairs in the corridor. The occupancy rate seems to be very high.
Not long after, the shopkeeper appeared, bent over with a smile and asked: "But what is wrong with the waiter's poor hospitality?"
Xiao Xixi put her hands on the shoulders of the girl in blue and asked the shopkeeper: "Is the story told by your storyteller written by this girl?"
When the shopkeeper saw the girl in blue, there was a flash of impatience in his eyes, but because of Xiao Xixi, he still had a smile on his face: "I have never seen this girl before."
The girl in blue's cheeks were red, she was very angry, and her voice was trembling: "How can you talk nonsense? I have clearly been to the teahouse many times!"
"There are many guests coming to the teahouse, and I may not remember them all."
Xiao Xixi saw that the shopkeeper's eyes were evasive, so he must know this girl, and at this time, he wanted to pretend not to know her and clear the relationship.
If this girl really has the ability to write good stories, the teahouse refuses to pay for a few taels of silver, which is short-sighted.
"Whether it is yes or no, you will know after giving it a try. I will ask this girl to write a few words and compare them with the manuscript of your teahouse story."
The shopkeeper straightened his back and said: "How can the manuscripts in the tea house be easily shown to outsiders?"
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but laugh: "Oh? Really? Are you unwilling?"
She stretched out her hand towards Jiyue, who immediately understood and quickly took off the whip from his waist and handed it to her hand.
Jiyue was very excited, their young lady was back again!
Looking at the panicked face of the shopkeeper, Xiao Xixi was quite satisfied. It turned out that being domineering felt so enjoyable!
Thanks to the original owner for the character design and giving her the opportunity to play the villain.
She played with the whip and asked with a threatening tone: "Shopkeeper, would you like to show it to me?"
The shopkeeper looked ugly and was speechless for a moment, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
"There are laws in the capital!" a waiter shouted.
