Nightwatcher Chapter 169: Don’t borrow, get out…

　　 In the kitchen, several cooks are busy doing the work, washing and cutting vegetables, and lighting the stove. Talking while doing things.

　　 "We are going to live in the inner city from now on." The cook who chopped vegetables laughed.

　　 The people in the capital long for the inner city just like Xu Lingyin's for food. Those living in the outer city are not necessarily at the bottom of society, but those living in the inner city are definitely from well-off families.

　　 Regardless of people's livelihood and public security, the inner city is far better than the outer city. There are almost no slums in the inner city. The little lady doesn't have to be scared when going out shopping.

　　 Seeing a secluded alley, you can walk in boldly. Of course, this kind of thing is not worth promoting.

　　 "Da Lang is really promising, I heard his wife say that the house is worth five thousand taels." The kitchen lady who washes the vegetables calls.

　　 "Five thousand taels? That's about the same as our house." said the cooking lady who burned the fire.

　　 "What do you know," the kitchen lady who washes the vegetables sipped: "I heard the lady say that the house is at least seven thousand taels, which is more magnificent than ours."

　　 As for why it only cost five thousand taels, this is of course Da Lang has the ability. He is a man of change. It is easy to buy a house at a low price.

　　 "Madam told us that she will take us to live in the inner city in a few days. Let me tell you, the inner city is prosperous."

　　 Many low-level people living in the outer city rarely have the opportunity to go to the inner city, without riding a horse or carriage, and relying on their legs alone, it takes one or two hours to go from the outer city to the inner city. Departing in the afternoon, it is almost sunset in the inner city.

The people in 　　 are looking forward to moving to the inner city. They have been working hard these days. For fear of being fired. Unless Lu'e had been in the Xu mansion since he was a child, Xu Dalang was a maid who could sleep casually, and the other people signed a living contract.

　　 "I found one thing..." The cook who was cutting vegetables suddenly interrupted. When the two cooks came over, she whispered:

　　 "Madam likes to show off Da Lang more and more, always talking about him, but when Da Lang comes back, she will never show her face."

　　 "Ahem..."

　　 Suddenly, a cough came from outside the door, interrupting the broken mouths of the cook ladies.

　　 "Why is Da Lang here?" The cook asked in surprise.

　　 This greasy and dirty place like the kitchen is not for the owners.

　　 There are so many dramas for your old mothers... I’m wondering if my aunt shows off... Xu Qi’an is holding the bowl in his hand, nodding, and saying:

　　 "I made an exclusive recipe, come over and help you cook."

　　 Xu Qi'an swept around. The kitchen is not messy, but it is not clean. After all, under the years of oily smoke, the walls and stove are stained with a layer of grease that cannot be wiped off.

　　 However, as long as pots and pans are washed frequently, there is no problem.

　　 "What's this?" The cooking ladies cast their gazes at the bowl in his hand, a sticky lump.

　　 "Good stuff, don't look at it, this is a unique formula." Xu Qi'an turned sideways, not showing his baby to the cook.

　　 The chef didn't care, she kept busy, Da Lang stayed as he loved it, he was the master, and some of them were subordinates, and there was no reason for the subordinates to control the master. Besides, every time Madam quarreled with him, she rolled her eyes angrily.

　　 Apart from the master, there is probably only Erlang who can bloom with one mouth to fight with Dalang.

　　 Xu Qi'an stood by and watched. The first dish was fried pork with winter bamboo shoots. While the cook was cooking, he scooped a small spoonful of "chicken essence" in.

　　 then took a chopstick, and nodded slightly after tasting.

　　 has a lot of umami taste, but it can’t compare with real chicken essence.

　　 guanylic acid and sodium glutamate are complementary....If you want to achieve the taste of the past life, you have to develop MSG...Xu Qi'an is quite satisfied.

　　 The cook lady took out the chopsticks, picked a piece of bamboo shoot, and tasted it carefully.

　　 Her eyes widened instantly and she forgot to cook.

　　 The smell is both familiar and unfamiliar to her. It tastes like chicken, but chicken can never be so fresh. A small spoonful has raised the umami taste of bamboo shoots to several levels, which is impossible for broth.

　　 Xu Qi'an glanced at her, and grabbed the spoon for cooking, lest it get muddy.

　　 "It seems... delicious?" The other two cooks were a little moved and looked at her.

　　 "Too, it's so delicious, I've never had such a delicious dish..." The cook said excitedly.

　　.....

　　 In the lobby, Xu Lingyue came over with a meal, looked around, and said softly, "Where is the big brother?"

　　 At this time, the eldest brother was already sitting at the table waiting for the meal, teasing Xu Lingyin, and trapped her in the creaking nest and swayed fatally.

　　 or quarreling with the mother, the aunt and nephew look tired of each other.

　　 "Today I have a rest, maybe I went to the teaching workshop." said Xu Pingzhi, who lowered his head and wiped his saber.

　　 "Father knows nonsense, eldest brother doesn't even go to the bar." Xu Lingyue bulged, her expression unhappy.

　　...Yes, I used to think so....You don't go to the eldest brother of the bar, now he is a figure sought after by the Jiaofang Division.

　　 Xu Pingzhi sighed in his heart, saying: "He is in the state of Qi training now, and he no longer needs to guard himself. It's not human nature to go to the workshop, which man will not go..."

　　 suddenly felt murderous on the side, Xu Pingzhi did not lift his head, continued to wipe the saber, and changed his mouth: "Your father, I and Erlang never go. Ning Yanxu has been there, but it’s all because of socializing. .

　　 "Speaking of which, the men of our Xu family don't like to go to the fireworks field."

　　 Xu Lingyue believed her father's words, thinking that the proud second brother and the honest eldest brother are indeed not the kind of men who miss the land of fireworks.

　　 "Hmm", sitting at the table comfortably.

　　 "Mother, I'm going to Guiyue Tower." Xu Lingyin got out of the table, startling her aunt.

　　 Auntie doesn’t like to talk to her. Xu Ershu's earnest education daughter: "Lingyin, Guiyue Tower can't go often, you need money."

　　 "Big Brother took me there yesterday." Xu Lingyin refused.

　　"Then you find your eldest brother." Xu Pingzhi waved his hand, unwilling to educate her daughter. This daughter is too stupid, and the gentleman at Yunlu Academy cannot teach her.

Aunt 　　 said with emotion: "The cook in Guiyue Tower is said to be from the palace. The craftsmanship is excellent in the capital. It would be great if our family could invite such a cook."

　　 "It smells so good..." Xu Lingyin said suddenly. She twitched her nose and looked out the door.

　　 was slow for a second, only when Xu Pingzhi at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm smelled the rich flavor.

　　Russian, the cooks came in with the food, and Xu Qi'an was also with him, but even Xu Lingyue, who liked him the most, didn't pay attention to him, her eyes were firmly fixed on the dishes.

　　 shining oily winter bamboo shoots fried pork, vinegared cabbage, yam soup, leeks scrambled eggs, lotus root stewed pork ribs, red-oiled water chestnut... and Xu Qi'an's fried pork knuckles.

　　 "Today's food is delicious." Xu Pingzhi said unexpectedly.

　　 He beckoned, and brought a piece of crunchy hoof, smeared with gray sauce. Sniffing the saliva-secreting umami, Xu Pingzhi couldn't wait to put it in his mouth and chew.

　　 "So delicious?" he said in shock.

　　 "Master is too ostentatious." The aunt curled her lips and waited for the cook to arrange the dishes. She caught a bamboo shoot with chopsticks, and after chewing a few mouthfuls, her eyes widened instantly.

　　The dish is still that dish, and there is nothing peculiar, but the umami taste exploded the taste buds and brought a taste shock.

　　I usually cook dishes, with one spoonful of broth at most, and the broth is divided into three, six or five grades. In fact, it is not as delicious as expected, because the broth of this era is not matched with MSG and other condiments, and the taste is limited.

　　 includes drinking chicken soup or eating shiitake mushrooms. Simply eating shiitake mushrooms will already make people feel fresh. Xu Qi'an uses the essence extracted from two whole baskets, which has a strong impact on the taste buds.

Aunt 　　 looked at the kitchen ladies in surprise, her eyes gleaming: "Today's dishes are very different from the past, how did you do it."

　　 Xu Lingyue and Xu Pingzhi also stopped their chopsticks, waiting for the chef's answer with interest.

　　 Only Xu Lingyin doesn't care. She only cares how many delicious dishes can get into her stomach.

　　 "It's Da Lang's secret recipe..." The kitchen waved his hand quickly.

　　The family immediately looked at Xu Qi'an, Xu Pingzhi was surprised: "Where did you get the formula?"

　　 Xu Lingyue and her aunt looked at him curiously.

　　 Xu Qi'an took down his chopsticks like flying, and explained: "I just think the food at home is weak, and the food at Guiyuelou is too expensive. I made a fool of myself and it looks good."

　　 Xu Ershu nodded slightly, turned to look at the table, his eyes widened: "Xu Lingyin!"

　　 Xu Lingyin climbed to the table and moved the dishes to her side.

　　 "It's all mine." She frowned and said sharply.

　　.....

　　 Xu Qi'an rushed to the yamen at the time, and didn't do anything until noon, patronizing the gongs and silver gongs who returned from prison.

　　 Yesterday they had learned from their colleagues the news of the downfall of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the case that decided to stay.

　　 Without Xu Qi'an's role in the middle, the fate of many of them might have to change.

　　 managed to deal with them, Xu Qi'an tied the gong and hung the saber, and his duty in the afternoon was to patrol the streets.

　　 "Ning Yan, you haven't been to Jiaofang Division for a while." Zhu Guangxiao, who was taciturn, said suddenly.

　　Because I now have the illusion that it is not that I am prostituted oiran, but they are prostituted me...Xu Qi'an reluctantly said: "I feel that I am approaching the peak of Qi training realm, and I plan to try to attack God Refining realm." /

　　 Practicing Qi Realm Peak... Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng looked at him blankly.

　　 The two of them are also at the pinnacle of Qi training stage.

　　The hard part is to accumulate merits in exchange for visualization.

　　 Xu Qi'an has only been in the game for two months, and this is the pinnacle of Qi training. What kind of qualification is this?

　　"Then you have to accumulate your merits." Song Tingfeng said sourly, and added depressedly: "But with your savings from the Sangbo case up to now, I feel that it is enough."

　　 "Yeah." Xu Qi'an lightly turned off the topic: "I plan to accumulate for two weeks before going to Jiaofang Division."

　　 Jiaofang Division is always their most active topic, Song Tingfeng winked his eyes: "That Fuxiang girl is guilty and suffered."

　　 She will not suffer, she will just overflow, just like the right... Xu Qi'an glanced at the right.

　　Walking and talking ~IndoMTL.com~ When they came to the gate, the eyes of the three were attracted by a burly and tall monk in blue monk clothes.

　　His monk's clothes are slightly worn, with a thick Buddhist bead hanging from his neck, and two rows of scars on his big bald head. His expression is bitter and bitter.

　　 is the monk Hengyuan.

　　 Seeing Xu Qi'an coming out, Hengyuan's eyes lit up, strode to meet him, his hands clasped together: "Master Xu."

　　Don't borrow, get out... Xu Qi'an interrupted him, helplessly said: "Master Hengyuan, I have official duties, let's make a long story short. The official only pays five taels of silver in a month, and he is embarrassed." /

While 　　 was speaking, he looked down and saw that Hengyuan's cloth shoes were torn and two toes were sticking out.

　　 turned out to be borrowing money from Ning Yan...Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao stared at Hengyuan with unkind expressions.

　　 Seeing Xu Qian's refusal, Hengyuan remained silent for a long time before bowing and saying: "The poor monk knows."

　　 Seeing the back of the great monk leaving, Xu Qi'an thought for no reason of his father who ran away from school to deliver food to him when he was in middle school. After he complained that he had not delivered the food in time, he was also the back of leaving alone.

　　 "Eh...wait," Xu Qi'an called to him and let out a sigh of relief: "How much money do I have to borrow this time, let me make it clear first, I don't want to borrow too much. I really don't have any money recently."

　　PS: Maybe there is no change today. I am a little tired and want to sleep.
