Chapter 314 A Yue Becomes an Apprentice
The next morning, Xu Yiyi took several children to breakfast and then rushed to the restaurant in town.
On the way from the dock to the restaurant, Er'er went to the restaurant first, and then Sanchuan went to the school.
When they arrived at the restaurant, A-Yue reached out her hand and asked her for money.
The morning mist had not yet dissipated when the group stood at the entrance of a tavern. A-Yue tugged at Xu Yiyi's sash with her finger.
"Yi-yi, lend me some money. I'll pay you back when I get my military pay."
Xu Yiyi held Wu Yuan and wiped the drool from his chin, finding it quite strange that A Yue wanted money.
"What do you need money to buy?"
Xu Yi asked out of curiosity.
"Buy alcohol."
A-Yue suddenly stood up straight, her eyes shining. "Didn't I say yesterday that I wanted to become an apprentice?"
"Become an apprentice? How do I find one? Do you also want to learn medicine from Master Wu?"
Xu Anyang asked curiously, the only person he could think of was Wu Yunzhi.
A-Yue shook her head, "No! I want to become Lao Lu's apprentice!"
Si Hai and Xu Anyang both looked at A Yue at the same time, only to see that her expression was serious and she didn't seem to be joking.
"You're not serious? You're worshipping that old drunkard?"
Xu Anyang said helplessly, because Lao Lu's usual image was too unreliable, which made him think that A Yue was confused in her sleep.
"Master, if you want to become Grandpa Lu's apprentice, then what about me?"
Sihai finally understood what Ayue meant, and the chubby little finger pointed to itself.
"You? Old Lu is my master, so you are his grand-disciple."
Si Hai had no idea what a grand-disciple was. He wiped his face haphazardly and took out ten copper coins from his purse. "Here, Master, this is enough to buy three catties of turbid wine."
A-Yue stared at the few copper coins, her lips twitching.
"Not enough?"
Xu Anyang was shocked. What kind of fine wine must they have bought!
“It’s not like we’re feeding drunkards at the docks. Old Lu is picky about his drinks. He probably won’t be satisfied with ordinary wine. Besides, after drinking Yi Yi’s wine lately, he doesn’t even like ordinary wine anymore.”
Last night, A-Yue was worried that Lao Lu wouldn't accept her, so after thinking it over, she decided to buy some wine to entice him first.
But this old man is picky about his food; he really has to buy expensive wine.
Xu Anyang shook his head helplessly, and Xu Yiyi took the cloth bag off her waist.
"Go ahead and buy it!"
Based on the skills Lao Lu displayed last night, she was quite tempted.
Moreover, Ah Yue is a martial arts enthusiast.
"Thank you, Yi Yi. I'll pay you back later."
A-Yue took the money bag and strode into the nearby tavern, her steps light and cheerful.
Will the prayer be successful?
Xu Anyang's tone revealed disbelief.
"If it's Sihai, Lao Lu would be willing to accept it even if he had no wine. I've heard Lao Lu praise Sihai for its intelligence and talent more than once."
Xu Anyang followed behind Xu Yiyi, muttering to himself.
Sihai walked behind, holding a snakeskin whip, seemingly still half asleep.
He didn't understand what had just happened at all; he was just curious why his master didn't want his money.
"Let's give it a try, whether it works or not!"
Xu Yi casually asked Xu Anyang to bring in the fish caught from the backyard gate.
"Master! Head Steward!"
Hearing the commotion, Yunniang hurriedly came out of the kitchen.
"I'll do it! How can I let the head steward do such rough work?"
Yunniang reached out to snatch the fish basket from Xu Anyang's hand.
Having had his fill of being the head steward, Xu Anyang felt a chill run down his spine when he heard Yunniang calling him that again.
"Didn't I say you don't need to call me Grand Steward? I'm not used to it anymore."
Xu Anyang's ears turned red, and he stepped past Yunniang to carry the fish basket inside.
“In the past, Lao Lu and I did these jobs, without much fuss.”
As Xu Anyang spoke, he carried all the things from the doorway inside.
"That's not right. I'm not just here to freeload."
Yunniang was in a dilemma, because she would have to work as soon as she was bought.
It's unreasonable to ask the host to do the work.
"Sister Yi, you talk to her."
Unable to persuade him otherwise, Xu Anyang had no choice but to send Xu Yiyi instead.
He then proceeded to draw water from the well to prepare for processing the fish.
“Yunniang, we each have our own responsibilities. Haven’t I told you? You’re in charge of the kitchen. Trying to do everything yourself will only wear you out.”
Xu Yiyi took out the rattan chair from Wuyuan and put the child inside.
"But……"
"No buts!"
Xu Yiyi interrupted her directly, telling Sihai to wake up Lao Lu.
As soon as the old man came out of the house, you could smell the strong odor of alcohol.
