When Xiao Qiang finally leads Xiao Qian to haolai restaurant after Fang Ruixi's persuasion fails, he finds that the restaurant is not far away from the stall contracted by Qiu Xing and Qiu Yue, and it's even closer to Ninghai University. As long as you turn two blocks to the right, it's only ten minutes' walk.
There are old restaurants in this area, which covers a small area, but it's better than the old signboards. There are still a lot of customers. Moreover, many college students who go out to rent houses live in nearby communities, so people come and go, business is not hot, very bad certainly will not. It's just that... The restaurant is a little too small and crude. From the outside, the signboard is very small and not very elegant.
Fang Ruixi takes out her key and opens the shutter door of the restaurant. Xiao Qiang walks into the restaurant and has a look. He immediately knows why the business will not be good again. Just looking at the old decoration which has been at least ten years, it seems that it is not of high grade. What's more, the whole restaurant only has two small boxes and a few tables in the lobby, which is really a small restaurant.
"Xiao Qiang... Put the dishes in the kitchen." Fang Ruixi went into the counter, took out the account book and wrote, "the chef will come around ten o'clock in a while. He will take care of the dishes. If you have nothing to do, just rest nearby. If they really make trouble at noon, you can hide in the attic upstairs and not come out, OK
Xiao Qiang knows that Fang Ruixi is still worried that she will have conflicts with those gangsters and that she will suffer from injuries. He smiles and doesn't answer. Are you kidding? Is Xiao Qiang the kind of coward who hides when something happens? Don't mention the leader of a small Gang. Even the leader of the tiger Gang, he dares to challenge! If those guys dare to come, let them have a taste!
Anyway, being idle is also idle. Since Xiao Qiang has come to be a man, he has to look like a man. He simply took a rag and began to wipe the table, and wiped the glass counter and the items on the shelf one by one. He was too industrious. Fang Ruixi looked at his skillful cleaning action, holding a cup of tea with a smile and said, "Xiao Qiang, you look like a man who can do housework very well, not like the children from those respectable families. Come on, have a cup of tea and have a rest
"Never mind, I'm not tired." Xiao Qiang said with a smile while wiping, "I was born as a poor child. My adoptive father died more than two years ago. My adoptive mother and I depended on each other. At that time, life was very hard. I didn't know how to help my family, so I would take the initiative to do some housework and help my adoptive mother share the burden."
"Foster mother... Your biological parents..." Fang Ruixi's eyes were surprised. She said that and quickly waved her hand and explained, "Oh, I'm sorry, I just feel a little curious..."
"In fact, there's nothing hard to say. My biological parents have abandoned me since I was born." Xiao Qiang showed a reluctant smile, shrugged his shoulders and said, "so, I'm not a smooth sailing person. Sisie, you're right. There are more or less unfortunate things in everyone's life. We must be more open-minded. "
"Thank you, Xiao Qiang. In fact, you don't have to comfort me. I'm used to being bullied." Francesca sighed. "But I know exactly what to do and what not to do. If I sell myself in order to compromise with the bully, I'd rather not have my own life! If it wasn't for Xiaoqian... I'm really tired of this kind of life... "
Xiao Qiang saw that Fang Ruixi was sad, and immediately said with a smile, "let's not talk about these things. Let's talk about other things, sister sissy. Do you have any plans to make this small restaurant bigger?"
"In fact, the size of the restaurant used to be twice as big as it is now, but in order to pay Wang Jun's divorce fee, I can't afford the rent, so I can only keep this one." Fang Ruixi shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "I don't expect to open a big store now. I'm satisfied as long as I can make a living."
Xiao Qiang nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he continued to work hard. When he just wiped some decorations placed near the God of wealth's memorial tablet above the wine cabinet, a censer full of incense suddenly attracted his attention.
The whole body of the censer is dark purple. It's about the size of a palm. There are nine dragons carved on it. It doesn't look very impressive. However, Xiao Qiang always feels familiar. He seems to have seen it somewhere. He can't help holding it in his hand and staring at it.
"You like that censer?" When Fang Ruixi discovered Xiao Qiang's action, she said, "the censer was handed down from my ancestors. I said it was something left by my ancestors. I found it by accident. When I saw that it was still beautiful, I put it on it. What, do you know the censer? "
After hearing Fang Ruixi's words, Xiao Qiang was obviously stunned. Heirloom? This sentence made him react in an instant, and thought of the nine star map of wujizong that he had been deeply remembering in his mind! No wonder he is so familiar with the censer. He saw it in the picture! This censer is actually one of the nine secret treasures of Zijin censer!
It really takes no effort to find a place without breaking the iron shoes. The Zijin censer, one of the most secret treasures, corresponds to the Tiandi Lingbao, which is the sacred Ziyun plate owned by Meng Gan's Saint Meng Bingling. The two Lingbao can be matched into a pair! In this way, Fang Ruixi's former ancestor is probably a branch of Shenji camp, a member of Baohuang family!
Of course, Wuji secret treasure is different from Tiandi Lingbao. As an auxiliary treasure, if it can't be paired with Tiandi Lingbao, it can only be regarded as an antique at most, and has no special ability. Fang Ruixi obviously doesn't know the real origin of the censer, and Xiao Qiang doesn't intend to tell her. After all, the more you know about heaven and earth Lingbao and Wuji secret treasure, the more dangerous it is for her. It's better not to know in the dark.
Want to understand this, Xiao Qiang secretly let himself keep calm, this just intentionally said with a smile, "Sisi sister joked, how can I know your family's heirloom baby, just think this censer is very good-looking, should be what antique?"
"I'm not sure, but it doesn't look very valuable, does it?" Fang Ruixi said with a smile, "if it's really valuable, my father's generation used to live in such a difficult life, they would have sold it and passed it on to me?"
Xiao Qiang thinks that what Fang Ruixi said is somewhat wrong. After all, the antiques of her father's time still belong to the scope of four antiques, and no one dares to collect them or sell them indiscriminately. However, the Zijin censer is not really a famous antique with a long history. It's only because there may be a tonic stone in it that it has become a secret treasure. It has no collection value in itself, which should be one of the reasons why it was spread to her.
Fang Ruixi certainly doesn't know the value of the censer, but Xiao Qiang's dilemma is that he can't directly ask her to buy it. On the one hand, he really didn't have much money. On the other hand, he suddenly paid a lot of money to ask her to buy it. It's not difficult for anyone to see that this censer is not ordinary. At that time, he will fall into a passive situation. It seems that we have to take a long time to get this purple and gold censer. But the good news is that this Wuji secret treasure is placed in front of the statue of the God of wealth in this humble restaurant. At least the secret is absolutely good. People who have ideas about it can't expect that Wuji secret treasure will appear here.
After wiping the entire wine cabinet, the chef of the restaurant came to work. The middle-aged Fat Chef, with a simple and honest face, went into the kitchen without saying a word, and began to sort out the vegetables and fruits he had bought. It was as if there was a man in the shop who had nothing to do with him. It can be seen that when Francesca recruited him to be a cook, she also took a fancy to his character.
