(BL) Almighty Strategy Game [quick wear] BOOK 2

Chapter 193

Xuan Qing's hand around Jiang Li's waist was a little hard, coupled with his slightly unhappy words just now, such a move can even be said to be possessive, making Jiang Li slightly stunned.

Although Xuan Qing was jealous because Qian Yuanwai arranged for him and Qian Qingqing before, but such an obvious move was the first time. Jiang Li thought of the fact that when he woke up in the morning, the system informed him that his favorability level had risen to 43%, and he couldn't help but wonder, after he left Xuan Qing's room last night, did something else happen?

At this moment, the little girl who fell to the ground let out a cry: "It hurts!"

Her voice interrupted Jiang Li's thoughts, and when he regained his senses, he saw her tearfully looking at him: "Brother Jiang Li , why didn't you catch me?!"

Jiang Li learned from the original body's memory that the little girl's name was Lu Xianxian, and she was the young daughter of the owner of the powder shop next door. Because the two families are close, Lu Xianxian often came to the Jiang's Inn to play when he was a child. The original body always regarded her as a younger sister. In her spare time, she also taught the little girl to read and write.

Seeing that she had fallen hard just now, Jiang Li temporarily put aside the matter of favorability, walked over to help her, and asked with concern, "Does Xianxian hurt?"

"It hurts to death." Lu Xianxian grabbed his hand and got up from the ground. The moment she landed on the ground just now, although she reacted extremely quickly and covered her face with her hands, she still fell a lot.

Lu Xianxian just turned sixteen years old this year. In modern times, it is the age of the first year of high school. To Jiang Li, who has lived for many lifetimes, he is a child and a little sister. Jiang Li looked at her with a flat mouth and looked aggrieved. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. He reached out and rubbed her hair, and said, "Brother will make you breakfast in a while."

"Are you doing it yourself? Okay. !" Lu Xianxian's eyes lit up, she was very happy when she saw Jiang Li nodding, and she forgot the pain of falling just now.

"How do you know I'm back?" Jiang Li asked her, it was still early and he didn't go out.

Lu Xianxian said: "I went shopping with my mother-in-law in the morning and met Uncle Cai, she told me."

"That's right." Jiang Li nodded.

Xuan Qing watched the interaction between the two from the side, her brows slightly wrinkled, and she looked down at the hand that held Jiang Li's waist just now. She always felt that after Jiang Li left, there was an inexplicable sense of emptiness in her palm. , making him uncomfortable.

After Lu Xianxian came over, she kept walking by Jiang Li's side. What did Jiang Li do, she followed to help. Jiang's father can be regarded as watching her grow up, knowing that she has been close to Jiang Li since childhood, so it's not surprising.

On the other hand, Xuan Qing, looking at her elegant pink figure, felt dazzling no matter what.

Uncle Cai, who came back from the grocery shopping, saw that Xuan Qing had been staring at Jiang Li and Lu Xianxian, and said casually: "Oh, Xianxian is here. Master Xuanqing, let me tell you, these two children have grown up together since they were young. It 's alright."

He just said casually as he passed by, and after he finished speaking, he took the dishes and went into the room, but he didn't notice that Xuan Qing's face suddenly turned cold after he finished speaking.

After all the preparations for the inn to open for business, Jiang Li went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients that he needed today. Although there were not too many guests at present, he could not neglect any of them.

Lu Xianxian wanted to follow Jiang Li, but was called back by the servant in his shop.

As soon as Xuan Qing stepped out, he was stopped by Jiang's father, who pulled him to a table next to him and sat down, and made tea and snacks for him in person.

Seeing Father Jiang's gentle smile, Xuan Qing couldn't refuse. After saying "thank you", in his earnest eyes, he took a sip of tea.

Only then did Father Jiang feel satisfied. He hummed a little tune and returned to the checkout counter. He took the abacus and began to count yesterday's bill.

In the kitchen, Jiang Li and Uncle Cai divided the work, marinated the ingredients to be marinated, prepared the sauce and other ingredients, and simmered the soup in a clay pot.

After preparing the ingredients, Jiang Li told Uncle Cai to keep an eye on the soup in the crock pot, then washed his hands and went out to the front hall.

As soon as he got there, a guest came downstairs. It was the man last night, and he was accompanied by a boy of four or five years old.

The man sat down with his son by the window, and asked loudly, "The shopkeeper, do you have any delicious introductions?"

The only guy in the inn had already come over. Seeing the man sitting down, he quickly took it with his hands and feet. The teapot was about to come forward to greet him. Jiang Li took the teapot from him and said, "I'll come." The

young man was new here half a year ago. Although he knew that Jiang's father had a son studying abroad, he had never met him. After being stunned for a moment, he said, "Guest officer, you..."

Jiang's father saw this and said, "Xiaodouzi, this is my son."

Xiaodouzi seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, although his appearance was ordinary , but the man is really clever, and immediately shouted to Jiang Li: "Hello, young master! I'll do these rough jobs, you can rest aside."

"You don't need to rest, you go to the kitchen to see if Uncle Cai can help Right." After Jiang Li finished speaking, he walked towards the man with the teapot.

Xiaodouzi looked at him, and then looked at Jiang's father next to him. Seeing that Jiang's father had no objection, he said "Okay", then turned around and entered the kitchen.

Jiang Li poured tea for the man in the past, gave him a long list of dishes, and asked him what he wanted to eat.

The man was very satisfied with the noodles that Jiang Li cooked last night, and specifically asked if Jiang Li was cooking today. After getting confirmation, he ordered several dishes in succession, and then ordered another soup before stopping.

When Jiang Li came back from ordering, his father reminded him in a low voice, "Xiao Li, in the dish you ordered just now, we don't have crispy bamboo shoots, braised chicken and golden silk fish bones here. Would you like the guest to change it?"

Jiang Li He smiled and said, "It's alright, as long as you have the ingredients, I'll make it." I

ate the noodles made by Jiang Li last night, and I have to say that Father Jiang was still looking forward to the dishes he made, so he didn't change the dishes.

Jiang Li was afraid that Xuan Qing would be boring to sit alone, so he went to the kitchen to say hello and started to prepare breakfast for the guests.

The ingredients he ordered were all prepared just now, and it was not difficult to make. With Uncle Cai's help, he quickly prepared four dishes and one soup.

One steamed short rib, one almond choy sum, one crispy bamboo shoots and roasted chicken, one golden shredded fish bone, one fresh mushroom and tofu clear soup.

When he was cooking, Uncle Cai, who was helping him, smelled the fragrance, and his stomach after eating buns in the morning couldn't help but get hungry again, and while helping out, he praised: "Xiao Li, I didn't expect you to not only read well, but also cook. The food is also much better than me. I have been a chef for so many years, I am ashamed to compare with you!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Uncle Cai, don't be modest, your cooking skills are obvious to all. I'll teach you what I know later, our family's business still depends on you and my father to support it."

Although he knew what he said was polite, Uncle Cai still listened very comfortably and said repeatedly. A few "where where".

After making the breakfast for the guests, Jiang Li took the opportunity to cook his own breakfast. Xuanqing didn't eat meat and fishy food. He also specially used a new pot to cook a few vegetarian dishes for Xuanqing.

After eating the breakfast made by Jiang Li, Jiang's father knew more about his son's cooking skills, especially when the man with the child was full of praise while eating, he suddenly felt that maybe what his son said It is not impossible to convert the inn into a restaurant.

As long as there are guests coming to eat, Jiang Li will cook, and all the guests are very satisfied with his cooking skills.

After the guests all settled their bills and left, Jiang's father took the initiative to ask about the renovation of Jiang Li's inn.

Jiang Li could hear that he had already made a move, and he spoke openly about the current shortcomings of his inn. Now that the business in the inn is so bad, even if the restaurant is not changed, it will not last long.

The problem he said, Jiang's father didn't know, but this store has been open for so many years, and it has been unable to make ends meet in recent years. If it is really necessary to rebuild it, it will also cost a lot of money.

Jiang Li heard that he was worried about the cost, and said indifferently, "You don't have to worry about this, I have it here."

"You have it?" After all, it is still limited.

Jiang Li looked at Xuan Qing who was beside him and said, "Little Master, please do me a favor, the silver note I gave you that day, first..."

"Upstairs." Xuan Qing interrupted him, "Your money, I I'll take it for you."

He emphasized the words "your money" and made Jiang Lishi laugh. He originally wanted to borrow it from Xuan Qing first, but Xuan Qing saw through his intentions and directly acted as a In front of Father Jiang, he said it was his money.

Jiang's father listened to his words and looked at Jiang Li for no apparent reason: "Money? Where did the money come from?"

"That's it..."

Jiang Li briefly recounted the affairs of Qian Yuan's house, ignoring Jiang Li. The danger of flying flowers, lest the old man will be worried when he hears it.

After listening to this, Father Jiang looked at the two of them with admiration and said with a smile, "You have worked hard, and you have done the right thing." After the

silver side has settled down, Father Jiang will not have much worries about the future. It has been decided, but the detailed transformation plan still needs to be discussed.

After Jiang's father agreed, Jiang Li took Xuan Qing out of the inn and planned to take him to play in Qingshui Town.

Qingshui Town gets its name from the Qingshui River, which surrounds the entire town and has a taste of Jiangnan water town. Although this place is not particularly large, it has beautiful scenery and simple folk customs, which is very suitable for playing.

The folk customs of this world are more open than the ancient times in Jiang Li's impression. There is no serious difference between men and women, and there is no rule that women should not go out. The streets here are very lively all year round, and there is an endless stream of hawkers on both sides. , The business of the shops and restaurants on the street is very good.

When passing by a hawker selling ice-sugar gourd, Jiang Li bought two bunches of money and said to Xuan Qing with a smile: "Little master, thank you just now, I will borrow the silver from you." When

he laughed, his eyes were curved. In the shape of a crescent moon, his dark pupils glowed with a little starlight under the sunlight, which made Xuan Qing's heart skip a beat, and he felt the urge to reach out and touch his eyes.

"...Thank you."

Xuan Qing suppressed the sudden throbbing in his heart, stretched out his hand to take the candied haws he gave, and took a bite at Jiang Li's urging, the sour hawthorn smell spread in his mouth, he watched The person in front of him felt inexplicably sweet.

"Congratulations to the host, the male protagonist's favorability has increased by 5%, and the current favorability is 48%." The system prompted a voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Li tightened his hand holding the candied haws, laughed softly, and opened his mouth to take a bite.

A little sour, but still sweet.

The two strolled around the market with ice-sugar gourd. There were shouts all around the street, and more and more pedestrians came and went. When Jiang Li found out that Xuan Qing was not around, the people around him had already changed several times.

When Xuan Qing came to Qingshui Town for the first time, Jiang Li was worried that he would not find a way to go back, so he hurriedly walked back to find him.

It's just that there are too many people on the street. He searched for a while and didn't see anyone, and now he was a little anxious. He didn't care that he was on the street, so he raised

his voice and shouted: "Xuanqing!!" Lu Yin, his wrist was suddenly pulled from behind, and a familiar voice came from behind: "I'm here."

Jiang Li hurriedly turned around and saw Xuan Qing standing behind. "Where did you go? I searched for a long time and couldn't find you, you..."

His words suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on the white hair ball that Xuan Qing raised with one hand in front of him.

Xuan Qing explained: "I saw this just now, and I thought you would like it, so I bought it."

The pedestrians on the street suddenly seemed to be frozen, and the noisy shouting stopped, Jiang Li watched The white hairball in front of him saw it raised its head and called to him: "Meow~"

Seeing the little guy's dependent eyes, at that moment, he felt that his heart was about to melt.
