Tong Xinlan used her internal strength, so the sound of prying the ground was relatively soft, until Tong Xinlan plugged in the two stone tables, and did not wake up Dad and Xiao Er.

After doing these things, Tong Xinlan returned to the backyard and took a bath with cold water, then quietly returned to her room to continue meditating.

Early the next morning, Tong Xinlan heard an exclamation outside.

"My God, shopkeeper, come and see, why are there two stones in our lobby, and they fell from the sky? The shopkeeper touched the top of his head suspiciously, and then looked at the flawless eaves.

Dad rubbed his eyes and hurriedly leaned on the railing to look down, "This, this shape looks like a stone table, it didn't fall from the sky, is it possible, my son is back?"

Dad didn't think it was sent by someone else, so he ran back to Tong Xinlan's room, wanting to knock on the door, but he was afraid of making noise to the child, so he could only ask in a tentative whisper, "Xin'er, are you back?"

Tong Xinlan took the credit, got out of bed, opened the door, smiled and said to her excited father, "Dad, I came back last night." ”

The shopkeeper pointed to the stone table downstairs and asked, "The two stone tables downstairs were brought back by you last night?"

Tong Xinlan felt that there was nothing to hide, and admitted, "Yes, wooden tables and stools are too easy to be kicked by those Jianghu people, I entered the county and saw that the stone shop had such a big stone, so I bought two, and ordered eight stone tables, but there are not many such a big stone shop, they have to go to the stone mine to drag it back, and we have to wait for a while." ”

The shopkeeper understood the meaning of the stone table, which might have saved him a lot of money, and the shopkeeper patted Tong Xinlan's shoulder and couldn't speak, and finally held back three words, "Good job!"

The shopkeeper downstairs had already rubbed the stone table back and forth at the moment, and tried to hug it, but he couldn't hold the stone table with thin arms and legs, and sighed again and again, "I'm obedient, how heavy is this stone table, Shaodong, how did you get it back from the county seat?"

Tong Xinlan walked downstairs with the shopkeeper and said, "The stone shop sent an ox cart to help me send a distance, and the ox cart on the mountain road behind me couldn't get in, so I thought of a way to roll the stone back a section of the way." ”

"Rolling back?" shopkeeper touched the stone table in disbelief, it is true that it is easier to roll, but this stone is so heavy, it will be very heavy to push.

Tong Xinlan saw his doubts, took out modern physics knowledge and explained, "I cut a few logs on the road, and then pushed the stone on top of the log, slowly rolling back, the next time the stone table comes back, you can also try, as long as there is a log top underneath, you can also gently push and move." ”

This time, Tong Xinlan brought it back by herself, but Tong Xinlan didn't want the people in the rivers and lakes to know that he was powerful now, or guessed that she knew martial arts, so when the stone table came back in the future, she would let everyone see how the stone table was transported home with the strength of ordinary people, so as to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Many of those people in the rivers and lakes have brain diseases, if they know that Tong Xinlan can do martial arts, or is extremely powerful, there will always be some people who want to come to compete with her to see whose strength is greater, or want to use this kind of talent, Tong Xinlan does not want to participate in this boring competition in the rivers and lakes at all.

Tong Xinlan's explanation made the shopkeeper eager to try.

The shopkeeper next to him also stroked the stone table and smiled happily, but the next second, he withdrew his hand and said a little sadly, "Son, the stone table is very strong, but this is not marble after all, if you touch it carefully, there will be fine sand sticking to your hands, in this case, some guests will mind." ”

Tong Xinlan had already thought of this, and comforted the worried father, "Dad, isn't there a pine forest behind us?" I will go inside to find pine resin in a while, melt the pine resin and pour it on the surface of the stone table, so that we are not afraid of fine sand coming out of the stone table, and in the future, we will spread a tablecloth on the tabletop, which will not affect the guests to eat." ”

"Xin'er's attention is good. The problem of the stone table was solved, and the shopkeeper was still very happy, although he was a little distressed about the loss of closing the door for a day, he still said, "Anyway, the table is not yet complete, so it is better for us not to open it first, so as not to make trouble for those guests." ”

"Dad, if we don't do this, maybe we won't be afraid of the guests making trouble. ”

"What should I do?"

Tong Xinlan pulled the shopkeeper to the counter, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, put the brush in his father's hand, and said, "Dad, you write a notice, just say that our inn is seriously damaged because of the fight of the people in the rivers and lakes, and now it is under renovation and is unable to receive guests, but considering the fatigue of the past guests, if you don't dislike it, you can still enter the store to play sharp, accommodation, if you are afraid of poor service, you don't have to enter the store." ”

The shopkeeper thinks that it will be too offensive to open a store to write notices in this tone, "Is there really no problem with writing like this? Besides, those Jianghu people may not all be literate." ”

Tong Xinlan said indifferently, "Those who used to be footmen must be literate, in fact, most of our income comes from these guests who abide by the rules of the transaction and abide by the law, those people in the rivers and lakes don't like to give money and love to make trouble, and they will scare away our God of Wealth, those footmen want to take a comfortable rest during the journey, they see our notice, they can understand what we mean, and they will accept it." ”

"As for those Jianghu people who can't read the notice, we just don't open the door. ”

"Huh, how can you accept those guests who are willing to come in if you don't open the door?" asked the shopkeeper with a confused expression.

In fact, this kind of closed business method is very popular in modern times, but the kind of closed business is a club that receives high-level members, and in ancient times, few inns would do this.

Tong Xinlan has come up with this method now, isn't there a way to do it.

"Dad, those who can read our notices will come knocking on the door, when the time comes, let Xiao Er ask them if they understand our rules, accept our rules, and let them in, if it is the kind of people who can't read the notices, most of them are unruly Jianghu people, they think we are closed, and they won't knock on the door, if they insist on coming in, when the time comes, I will tell them." At this time, I can only give up the ordinary illiterate past guests.

This is only a temporary way to reduce the loss of closed doors.

Dad accepted Tong Xinlan's opinion in full, grinded the pen and wrote Tong Xinlan's words on the notice, and then asked the shopkeeper to paste them on the wall next to the inn door.

After doing these things, the door panel of the inn was not completely disassembled, and after Tong Xinlan told her father and Xiao Er to do it according to her own requirements, she went to the back mountain to find pine resin.
