1609, you Jianghu people (4)
Because of her father's obstruction, Tong Xinlan honestly accompanied the frightened shopkeeper and the shopkeeper who was slumped on the table in the room until the hustle and bustle outside was completely quiet.
"Dad, it's quiet outside, and I think we might be able to go out and have a look. ”
In fact, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper also heard that it was quiet outside, but for safety reasons, they didn't dare to go out now.
After Tong Xinlan prompted the two, the two of them nodded, "They should all leave, let's go out and have a look." ”
Tong Xinlan originally wanted to be the first to open the door and go out, but the old shopkeeper who loved her son pulled her and said to the shopkeeper, "Maomao, you take a look at the door first." ”
The shopkeeper pointed at himself in fear, but because of his part-time job, he finally walked to the door cautiously with a bitter face, and slowly opened the door a gap.
Putting his ear on the crack of the door, listening to it for a while, there really didn't seem to be the sound of fighting, the shopkeeper Erhu Maomao hunched his waist and quietly walked out, lying on the railing and glancing down.
"Shopkeeper, they're all gone, come out with confidence. "The second floor has a good view, and when I look down, there are no dead ends, Hu Maomao is sure that there are no people from the rivers and lakes staying, and finally has the courage to stand up straight.
Although the shopkeeper's actions are a bit funny, this is enough to show the fear of ordinary people for Jianghu people.
Thinking of the tragic situation in the lobby after this fight in her memory, Tong Xinlan gave the shopkeeper a preventive shot in advance, and said comfortingly, "Dad, you have to hold on for a while." ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, took Tong Xinlan's hand tightly, and said a little choked, "I know." ”
Tong Xinlan pulled the shopkeeper out of the door and stood in the corridor to look down.
Ooh......
The table and bench were staggered, and most of the table legs and stool legs were also broken.
Blood-stained plates and white porcelain tiles from teacups were also all over the floor.
Thankfully, there were no dead people in their fight this time.
If someone dies, although it is a person from the rivers and lakes who dies, the court generally does not care, but Dad is an honest old man who runs an inn, for fear of causing trouble, every time in the past, Dad and the shopkeeper still have to walk a long way to report to the county.
It's better to prepare a case, lest someone die here, and someone's relatives come to me and say that they were killed by a black shop.
Of course, generally speaking, whoever killed and injured whom, those people in the rivers and lakes have a witness, but Dad is not a person in the circle of the rivers and lakes, he doesn't understand this, he still executes according to the ancient legal citizen.
This is prepared, but Tong Xinlan knows that if her father does this, the people in the rivers and lakes will not appreciate it.
Seeing the tragic situation in the lobby on the first floor, Dad's expression became even more miserable, and his shoulders collapsed again.
Yes, the smashed things have to be rebuilt, and doesn't that add to the pressure on your shoulders.
Tong Xinlan held her father's shoulder and patted her vigorously, "Dad, isn't it better now? Isn't this a big reduction in medical expenses in the future? We only need to pay off the money we borrowed to open the store before, and I am also your helper now, and we will definitely be able to earn the money back soon." ”
Hearing his son's comfort, although the shopkeeper was still a little uneasy in his eyes, he also rekindled hope in his eyes.
The shopkeeper said approvingly, "Shopkeeper, you see that the young owner is so good at talking as soon as he wakes up, and he is so responsible, and you will enjoy the blessings you have in the future." ”
The shopkeeper also experienced great joy and sorrow today, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a wry smile, and said, "Let's go down and clean up the store now." ”
Tong Xinlan stopped her father and said, "Dad, you take out the previous account book, and then go to the back kitchen and the chef to see the situation in the back kitchen, this side of the hall, just leave it to me and Maomao." ”
"This ......" The son has only just come to his senses after all, and the shopkeeper is still a little uneasy.
"Dad, although I have always been in a mess before, but all the things I have in my mind, I used to have no mind open, always like a child, now suddenly sobered up, those things, I seem to understand, although we didn't have such a good inn before, but you opened a tea shed, I also saw how you did it. ”
Tong Xinlan is talking about the things before this eventful inn, Chen Xin's father and mother used to be honest people, but they were stupid when they gave birth to a son, and both of them wanted to make money to treat the stupid child.
They couldn't make much money growing crops, so they set up tea sheds on the village roads during the rest of their busy farming hours.
The old couple can make money by opening a tea shed, but they can't make a lot of money.
Listening to what some guests said from the north and south, the old couple knew that they could make a lot of money if they opened a big inn, and the profit was much more than that of the tea shed, after all, they could also collect accommodation fees and food money, and even feed the horses to make money.
Therefore, the old couple wanted to make money and open a big inn.
Chen Xin's father and mother used to open a tea shed, and they received all passing guests, and because of the terrain, they were all hunters, farmers, and foot traders who came and went in a hurry, and these people drank a bowl of tea and left.
And this inn, although it is worse than the inn in the county, but it is much more gorgeous than many houses in the countryside, such a good inn will be listed, I am afraid that the previous boss also found that there are too many troubles in this place, otherwise with the money that my father used to save, plus the borrowed silver, I am afraid it is not enough to take stock of such a good inn.
Thinking of this, Tong Xinlan decided to check if this inn had so many troubles before, or suddenly there were more troubles.
After all, if there were so many troubles here in the first place, who would come to this place to open an inn.
Of course, Tong Xinlan put these things aside first, and first took Xiao Erhu Maomao downstairs to clean up the mess.
There are 10 Eight Immortal Tables in the lobby, 6 of which have been smashed and broken, and more than 10 benches with broken legs.
Tong Xinlan first picked up the broken tables, chairs and benches to the side of the hall, and then cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground with Xiao Er, making an open space to put the good tables and stools together.
The two big men did things relatively quickly, but they cleaned up the lobby in an hour.
In ancient times, it was good to throw garbage not too far from where you lived, after all, there were no chemicals in ancient times, and burying them on the spot was a good way to deal with them.
After throwing away all the garbage, Tong Xinlan and the shopkeeper rearranged the remaining four tables.
Looking at the lobby, which was much emptier than before, the shopkeeper asked the shopkeeper who was resting on the side, "Shopkeeper, we still have to find a carpenter to build six tables again, if we don't open the store today, I can go to the county to place an order now." ”
