Chapter 111: The mystery is bottomless
Xu Huang smashed the ice crack wine glass, looked at Steward Xu with a solemn expression, shocked several girls who served the food next to him, and hurriedly turned his head to the side, I really didn't understand why Xu Huang, who was talking and laughing just now, was so angry.
Luo Youju next to him glanced at the man surnamed Zhong, nodded when he saw him, and asked: "What's wrong with Gongzi Xu, why is he suddenly so angry, is it because of something in the family?" Can you tell it and let Brother Zhong help you solve it, after all, he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and he always has some means. ”
The man surnamed Zhong took over: "Yes, Brother Xu, we have been working together for so long, if you have anything on your mind, don't be miserable and treat your brother as your own." My Zhong Yang doesn't blow or black, I still have a little relationship on the road, in the open and in the dark, I can help you solve some troubles, your business is my business. This Xu family in Qingzhou City, I only recognize your face, and the rest of the people will not work. ”
It turned out that the man surnamed Zhong was named Zhong Yang, and he looked at Xu Huang with an atmosphere, thinking that something had gone wrong with Luo Youju's cooperation in the gambling stall, and the promised reward was naturally a chicken and egg beating, but he had traveled hundreds of kilometers to such a poor and remote place, so as an intermediate lobbyist, he said in a little anxious.
When Xu Huang heard this, he shook his head a little self-deprecatingly, the family itself was fighting for power, and he was not allowed to get involved in gambling stalls from the beginning, so naturally there would be no support. However, Zhou Youliang's appetite is too big, and a gambling stall is not enough for him to share, otherwise how could there be a matter of Luo Youju.
Xu Huang glanced at Steward Xu, and suddenly smiled calmly, as if nothing had happened: "Let the two eldest brothers laugh, this green treasure house is a place to make water, this Jiuqu intestine is very delicious, it can be said that everyone knows it in Qingzhou City, so on the first and second floors, there are all poor people who like to eat this." However, unlike other places, Green Treasure House is the main customer who goes to the back kitchen to serve the food by himself, rather than holding the menu and waiting for the food to be served. We delayed for some time before, so we asked Steward Xu to get the dishes first, but someone ignored the name of my Xu family and snatched the plate of Jiuqu large intestine directly from Steward Xu's hand, making Brother Zhong wait for a long time, it really shouldn't be. ”
Zhong Yang laughed out loud, and didn't take this as a thing: "This Jiuqu large intestine process is complicated, if you miss the time when it comes out of the pot, you will have to wait a little longer, but we have nothing to do today, just wait for a while for those girls who serve the food to get it, why be so angry." ”
Luo Youju took a few steps forward, handed some broken silver to the girl who served the food, and motioned for them to give some of it to the people in the back kitchen, and reserved a few plates of Jiuqu large intestines for the next time, and they could serve them, so as not to be robbed of them later.
Luo Youju returned to his seat, took a bite of vinegared carp, carefully removed the fish bones inside, and said: "Brother Zhong is right, there are many processes in this Jiuqu large intestine, so there are many old diners who like it, so it doesn't hurt if we wait a little longer." I remember that there is a proverb in Qingzhou City, which says that a good meal is not afraid of being late, I don't know if this means. ”
However, what Xu Huang thought of was not the matter of the Jiuqu large intestine, but the fact that Steward Xu showed the name of the Xu family, and there were people who didn't know how to lift it, and they didn't even give this face. For Xu Huang, using the name of the Xu family in Qingzhou City to do evil, but no one dares to speak, even if the hunt in Qingzhou City sees it, he has to stop his pace and say hello, and he can't imagine that the poor people who eat in the Green Treasure House seem to be very contemptuous of the Xu family in Qingzhou City, which is difficult for Xu Huang to accept.
Xu Huang took the wine glass and said to the two in front of him: "Hey, on the one hand, for the sake of the Jiuqu large intestine out of the pot, but Brother Zhong has to wait a little longer; ”
Zhong Yang asked puzzledly: "Rob, I see that the burly man standing next to Steward Xu should be a good hand, otherwise he will not become your entourage." It stands to reason that with this person to protect him, he should not be robbed by others. ”
Xu Huang looked back at Steward Xu: "The three of us are not present, you can tell me carefully about what happened just now, I will take a look, this is a thing in Qingzhou City that is not long-sighted, and it doesn't even give this face." ”
Steward Xu blushed and tried hard to straighten his waist, but after decades of being a subordinate, he still had such a rickety figure. Seeing the support of the little master, Steward Xu couldn't help but louden, saying that he first got the plate of Jiuqu large intestine, and then was snatched by an old man and a young man who suddenly appeared. Especially the last punch, the Jiuqu intestine that the young man was holding did not even spill a drop of soup.
Hearing this, the three people on the table began to fall into silence, especially Xu Huang's solemn expression, the burly man had been with him for two years, and after he was brought out of the dart game, he saw that he was vigorous, and then helped him deal with some secret things, which can be described as very reliable.
The Xu family's skilled nurse was also full of praise for this person, saying that this person's skills could rank in the top three among the Xu family's entourage in Qingzhou City, but he didn't expect it to be folded in the hands of a young man, which made Xu Huang really difficult to figure out.
Why is it impartial, when feasting Zhong Yang, who loves to eat water, this old and young appeared in Lvbaoju, and it happened that when Steward Xu went to get the Jiuqu large intestine, he snatched it again. After showing the name of the Xu family in Qingzhou City, these two people were still indifferent, but instead shot and injured their entourage, a person with such skills must not be a nameless person in Qingzhou City, so it seems that these two people must have come from elsewhere.
Xu Huang thought in his heart, could it be that the other big families in Qingzhou City knew that I was having a banquet here today, so they invited people from the martial arts rivers and lakes to stop me, or that there were other conspiracies waiting for him? In this way, this Luo Youju and Zhong Yang are also very suspicious, and it seems that they have to guard against it today.
At this time, a serving girl waiting next to her came up with a new pair of ice cracked dishes and chopsticks, only to see her trembling, walking hard without making any sound, for fear that these customers would be angry with the next person.
Fortunately, the three of them were thinking about their hearts and didn't notice her.
Xu Huang coiled the tea cup with ice cracks, looking at the cracks that seemed to be decorative cracks, and he was reluctant to speak for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking about.
At this time, Zhong Yang seemed to know what Xu Huang was worried about, so he asked, "Steward Xu, the old and young you are talking about, but the Qingzhou people?"
Steward Xu was still leaning over, looking down at the front: "If you say anything back, these two people look strange, not like they are from Qingzhou City, but like they came from somewhere else, and they are not afraid of the name of our Xu family." ”
Zhong Yang frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Whether the other party is intentional or not, we have to be careful, so as not to fall into the trap of others, but ...... If someone bullies Brother Xu's head, then I can't sit idly by. Since the other party is so powerful, my guards will have to deal with it. ”
Hearing Zhong Yang talk about the guards he was carrying, Xu Huang glanced out of the door, only to see a young man with a thin face standing there, who did not have any weapons on his body, and looked no different from ordinary people, Xu Huang had never heard others introduce who this person was sacred, but listening to Zhong Yang's tone, it seemed that this person was not small.
However, Xu Huang also knew that Zhong Yang was so desperate for his life, and Ningzhou was far away from here, and there were many martial arts bandits on the way, so the entourage he brought with him was definitely not mortal.
Xu Huang smiled, bowed to Zhong Yang, turned to Steward Xu and said, "Go and keep an eye on those two people, and when we finish eating, we will naturally meet him." ”
At this time, a few plates of Jiuqu large intestines came up, and there was still a white pot gas, and the three of them were not polite, they looked at each other and smiled, and they ate in a whirlwind.
