Chapter 291
With the money, Anxi consciously found a lively restaurant, first served some breakfast, and then woke up the two children to let them eat.
This restaurant looks small, there are only a dozen tables upstairs and downstairs, but it is half full now.
It stands to reason that restaurants usually have a lot of people at noon and evening, and now it is mid-morning, which should be the time when the number of people is the least. I don’t know why there are so many people here?
But it's also cheap for Anxi, so I happened to ask for some news here.
Xiaoer is a smart person. Seeing Anxi with two children, he served him a large bowl of soy milk, vegetable porridge, and a stack of meat buns, "Guest officer, do you need anything else?"
Anxi looked at these and felt enough, so he shook his head, "There are very few restaurants that prepare breakfast, and I didn't expect you to be an exception."
"Hey, there's nothing I can do about it." Seeing that Anxi was talking about sex, Xiaoer said, "You don't know how difficult it is to do business now. In the past two years, we have not only opened a western food restaurant, but also a coffee shop. shop, cake shop and so on. They not only sell lunch and dinner, but also have afternoon tea, which has taken away a lot of business from our family. The owner thought this was not good, so he simply asked us to sell breakfast, and changed it into a tea house in the afternoon, For guests to drink tea and rest their feet."
An Xi said with a smile, "I see that your business is doing well, and you should be making a lot of money."
"Then you don't know how dark the shop opened by those foreigners is, a small cake," he said, and he stretched out his hand to make a circle, "No, it's just this big, and it costs fifty cents, black is really black You said that this cake is not suitable for eating or drinking, that is to try something new, who wants to buy it every day.”
"But don't tell me, the taste of the cake is so delicious, it's soft and smooth, and sweet. Many people like it, but they can't afford it. Our boss just thought, this cake It’s so expensive that most people can’t afford it. But the cakes handed down from our ancestors are cheap, so I asked the master chef to think of a few ways to improve it according to the method of making cakes. Hey, I actually made them It's done. Look at the others, they're not here for breakfast, they're just waiting for the first pot of pastries to come out and take them home."
"Then it seems that your boss is also a capable person." Anxi praised with a smile.
"Isn't that right?" When talking about his owner's family, Xiaoer's whole body was full of joy, "Our owner has opened a restaurant in Qingyuan County for decades. If you go out and inquire about it, you must know about our owner's business. reputation."
"Are you all locals from Qingyuan County?"
"Of course, I grew up here since I was a child, and there is no plant or tree here that I am not familiar with. Sir, if you are looking for someone or what, you must be looking for me." Xiaoer's eyes rolled around. However, those who come to the restaurant to talk to Xiao Er must have something to inquire about.
Look at Anxi's attire again, the long gown made of brocade, the compact leather suitcase, and the very expensive Western watch in his hand.Look at those two children again, they are tall and beautiful, and they are still wearing small suits. They look like they are rich.
People from Qingyuan County, as long as they are rich, there is no one he doesn't know, and these three people can be seen as foreigners.
So he guessed that Anxi came here either to find someone or to do something.Although his youngest son is not a famous figure, he has worked in the restaurant for seven or eight years and knows a lot of people, so he can earn some extra money.
Anxi understood, took out fifty cents and handed it to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Sir, tell me, if I know anything, I will definitely help you."
"I came here to seek. I once had an aunt who married into the Fang family in Qingyuan County. A few years ago, my family could still receive letters from my aunt, saying that the second child in the family gave birth to a big fat grandson, who seemed to be named Fang. Stop the war. But since then, for more than ten years, the family has not received a single letter, and the letters sent have not been responded to. No, I just happened to be going to Beiping to take up a job, so my family asked me to come to Qing Dynasty Yuanxian, by the way, let's see what happened to my aunt's house. This has been going on for more than ten years, and since you are still young, I'm afraid you don't know."
Anxi made up a reasonable story. In this era of war and chaos, it is very normal for relatives to stop communicating.After speaking, he was afraid that Xiaoer would hear the loopholes in it, so he deliberately used aggressive methods.
Sure enough, when it came to doubting his ability, Xiao Er immediately quit, "Sir, you don't know, I am young, but I really know the Fang family you mentioned. Ten years ago, although I was only I was only ten years old, but there was a horse bandit who came to rob me that year, and I remember it clearly. The Fang family you mentioned was in trouble at that time. Not to mention being robbed by the horse bandit, the whole family died, tragically. Yo."
Nonsense!
But Anxi didn't expose it, but asked with a frown, "Why, you must have made a mistake, my aunt's family wouldn't be so unlucky, think about it again, maybe there are other Fang families in Qingyuan County?"
"There really isn't one." Xiaoer vowed, "There are only seven or eight rich families in Qingyuan County, and none of them have the surname of Fang. Besides, even if they are a little rich, there is basically no one with the surname of Fang."
"Are you so sure? Do you still know all the rich people in Qingyuan County?" Anxi frowned suspiciously.
"That's not true. Don't think our restaurant is not big. It's a time-honored brand. In Qingyuan County, there are almost no people who have some spare money who don't come to eat in our restaurant. Those rich gentlemen, although I am not completely I know each other, but it’s only a matter of time, there really isn’t any other Fang family.”
Anxi thought about it, it seems that this Fang family is really not from Qingyuan County, as for what Xiaoer said, he was killed by a horse bandit ten years ago, it must be a lie.
He used this to deceive the waiter in the shop, and the waiter probably really didn't know about the Fang family, but because he was provoked, he was also afraid that he would take the money back, so he made up a story ten years ago.
Either he was induced by his words, and put Zhang Guanli on the Fang family for a tragic incident ten years ago.
In fact, human memory is also unreliable. It will not only deceive oneself, but also automatically improve it.
Maybe ten years ago there were horse bandits looting, and some people were killed, but it's different if the surname is not Fang.
Since he couldn't ask anything, Anxi simply inquired about other things, "Xiao Er, is there any place to stay in Qingyuan County? My two nephews are still young, and I want to stay for one night so that they can recuperate so that they don't get tired body."
"Hey, you really found the right person after asking about this." Seeing that Anxi no longer entangled with Fang's affairs, the waiter in the shop felt relieved that he had been fooled, and hurriedly introduced him enthusiastically.
"If you want to talk about accommodation, those are the best ones. The first thing I want to say is that foreign hotel. It is said that it is very luxurious inside. I haven't seen it before, hehe. But their house requires an ocean for one night, which is also It's too expensive, besides that, there are several inns, Fuyuan Inn, Dongyuan Inn, and Qingxianglou are the best. You can see that Qingxianglou is just a little further east from here."
Anxi nodded, sent him off, and then took the two children to have breakfast.
Zhi Ge blinked his big round eyes, and waited until Xiao Er went down before speaking, "Uncle, where are my parents? When can I see my parents?"
Anxi thought about it, but decided to tell a part of the truth, "Your parents have gone to a far away place, and asked uncle to send you to third brother and uncle."
The little guy stared blankly at An Xi, wondering if he understood, but quietly reached out to Fang Zhixie with one hand, holding her hand firmly.
Fang Zhixie didn't know why, her eyes were fixed on the breakfast in front of her, and there was a suspicious water stain on the corner of her mouth, but she seemed to have just woken up, she was dying, she didn't make any noise, she just kept watching.
"I only drank porridge last night. I must be hungry now. Come, let's have breakfast." Anxi put meat buns for the two of them, and put warmed soybean milk in cups, and placed them in front of them.
When Fang Zhixie saw it, she immediately left her brother's hand, holding the buns in both hands, and began to eat them with relish.
Fang Zhige lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Will uncle also want us? Give us to someone else?"
Anxi was taken aback for a moment, and then understood that the little guy was getting restless. Even though he was only three years old, he might not have realized what happened, but he still asked this question instinctively.
He smiled and comforted, "If I find your third brother and uncle, I will hand you over to them. You are blood relatives, and I will definitely not ignore you. If not, I will raise you up, okay?"
Fang Zhige glanced at Anxi, then at his sister, suddenly grabbed the buns, imitated his sister, and ate them with relish.
Anxi laughed, this little guy is really smart and sensitive.In contrast, younger sister Fang Zhixie was more like a child of this age, innocent and ignorant.
However, these two children are really well educated. I hope they can find their families as soon as possible. Growing up with their relatives will make them feel more secure.
After breakfast, Anxi took the two children to the Qingxiang Building that Xiao Er had mentioned, and asked for an upper room.
The clerk in the store took Anxi to the innermost room on the second floor. The room was quite big, with not only a Kang, but also a wooden bed.There was a quilt on the kang, it was blue-gray and looked very clean.
The man poured tea and said, "Sir, I'll bring you a quilt later, it will be convenient for you and the two young masters to sleep on the kang at night."
Anxi nodded his thanks, and asked him, by the way, if anyone surnamed Fang had lived here recently.
Fang's team has a lot of people, there are more than a dozen people, and they will definitely not stay in foreign hotels, but with their financial resources, they will not stay in ordinary inns, they should be the three mentioned by Xiaoer.
Anxi decided to inquire about each family.
did not expect!
As soon as he heard the work, he immediately said, "Are you a friend of the Fang family master? Hey, you are late. They left early this morning. I heard they are going to Peking."
