Chapter 19, the greedy land lord
Nineteen, the greedy land lord
It was already past the afternoon, and the sun shining overhead made people feel a little lazy, I couldn't help but yawn, there were not many pedestrians on the road, I don't know where they were hiding, occasionally I could see a few wild dogs playing, and without looking at me, they ran towards the shade in the corner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I don't know if it's because I ate too much in the morning, or because I didn't use up any energy at all after a morning of traveling, I don't feel hungry until now, and I'm not in a hurry anyway, just swaying on the side of the road.
There are only two people in Yuelai Inn now, plus a new job, the business should not be busy, I am now the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper should have the appearance of a shopkeeper, if I have to ask in person about everything big and small, then what kind of shopkeeper am I?
I staggered to the gate of the park again, and through the dilapidated gate, I couldn't see the old men and old ladies in the small square of the park, but I suddenly remembered the old man who asked me about the inn before, hey, how did I forget this stubble?!
This old man must not know who lives in the Yuelai Inn, and if he annoys them, he doesn't know how he died!
As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but speed up my pace, and after crossing the alley, I ran in the direction of the inn.
Soon I walked to the front of the inn, there was no figure on the path in front of the inn, the shabby cloth banner was still floating on the bamboo pole next to the door, flying in the wind from time to time to reveal the four big characters of 'Yuelai Inn', quite a bit of the atmosphere of ancient troubled times, but I didn't have time to see any scenery, and stepped into the door without saying a word.
"Hahaha...... Before I stepped into the door, I heard a hoarse and heavy voice coming out of it, I looked for the sound suspiciously, and saw that the old man I had seen before was talking to Li Li with a smile on his face, Li Li was standing aside very competently, and he looked like a shopkeeper, but when I looked at the two people, I was suddenly full of black lines, I was tired, and there were more than a dozen empty wine jars lying horizontally at the feet of the two people, and the old man was drinking there with a wine bowl.......
"Damn, what are you doing......?" I shouted, raised my feet and rushed into the lobby, but I still remembered Li Li's fierce look, and stood still far away from him.
"Hehehe...... We're drinking......" The old man turned his head and smiled and raised the bowl in his hand at me, "Young man, would you like to have a bowl too?"
"Who made you drink?" I looked angrily at the empty jar at the feet of the two men, and I wanted to kick the old man away with a kick.
"Hehehe...... The old man ignored me, raised his head and drank the wine bowl in his hand.
"You're ......!" I froze.
Li Li, who was standing on the side, watched the old man finish drinking the wine in the bowl with a respectful face, and took advantage of the situation to lift the wine jar and pour it full of wine.
"Li Li, what are you doing......" I watched him pour wine and couldn't help but shout.
"Pour wine for the land lord!" Li Li said in a cold voice without raising his head, holding the wine jar firmly with one hand and holding the wine bowl with the other.
The fragrant liquor was slowly poured into the bowl, and the tantalizing aroma escaped until the bowl was full, and not a single drop of wine was spilled.
Damn, I know that this skill is a master at a glance!
"Lord Land, your wine!" Li Li put down the wine jar and sent the wine bowl to the old man.
The old man didn't shirk it, and took it over with a smile.
I'm tired, it's all white money, they don't use me, the shopkeeper, as the shopkeeper at all!
I glared at Li Li fiercely, turned my head to look at the old man and asked, "I said, uncle, do you have any money with you?" This wine is a few hundred yuan a jar, and you have drunk more than a dozen jars at once, which is four or five thousand yuan, for the sake of your age, I will give you a preferential price, a fixed price, five thousand!" I said and stretched out my hand with a big grin.
"Five thousand?" the old man drank the wine in his bowl, looked at me and said slowly, "Young man, do you think I look like a man with five thousand dollars?"
"Not really!" I shook my head.
"That's the end of it. The old man looked at me with a smile, stretched out his hand and handed the wine bowl to Li Li, who took the wine bowl and poured it full again.
The old man naturally stretched out his hand to take the wine bowl, looked at me with a smile and continued: "Young man, even if you want to ask me for money, then you have found the wrong person, but he invited me to drink this wine, if you ask for money, you go to him to ask for it." The old man said and raised his hand to point at Li Li on the side.
I followed the old man's finger and looked over, Li Li, who was standing on the side, didn't notice my fierce glare, still focused on looking at the old man with a respectful face, and knew at a glance that he was ready to add wine at any time.
Hey, why do you think I'm going to recruit such a loser?!
"Li Li, come with me!" I lowered my face and turned around and walked towards the back kitchen, Li Li raised his head and glanced at me, put the wine jar in his hand on the table and followed.
I deliberately kept a certain distance from him, this guy is a murderous man, even if I haven't read the Water Margin much, I also know the skills of those people written in the book, I walked to the back kitchen and put the things in my hand aside, turned around and looked at Li Li who followed him vigilantly, and raised his hand to stop him, "Okay, you just stand there!"
Li Li didn't say much, and stood at the door with a slight pause.
"I said buddy, you weren't sent by the old Chen to play with me, right? We opened an inn, and we want to make money to support ourselves, and this jar of wine is just for this old man to drink, who should I ask for money?"
"He's not just an old man. Li Li looked at me coldly, and his tone was as cold as before.
I looked at him and casually asked, "Isn't he an ordinary old man?"
"He's the Lord of the Land. Li Li ignored my ridicule and continued to look at me coldly.
"Lord Land?" I was stunned, frowning slightly, and said to myself: "What is Lord Land? Who would call him such a nickname these days? Could it be that the grandfather of the land who escorted the monk Sun Monkey to learn scriptures often shouted out for amusement?"
I really didn't intend to get any response when I said this, but as soon as I finished speaking, I heard the cold voice of Li Li standing aside: "The shopkeeper is right, he is the father-in-law of the land!"
"What? You say he's the father-in-law of the land?" I turned my head sharply and stared at Li Li, "He's the father-in-law of the land?"
Li Li looked at me coldly and didn't speak.
"Damn, isn't he a god? Why is he here?" I cried out holding my head.
"Hmph!" Li Li snorted coldly, turned his head and left.
"Why are you going?" I shouted as he was leaving.
"After the land lord's wine is finished, I'll bring him another jar!" Li Litou walked out of the back kitchen without looking back, and walked straight to the rows of wine jars.
Looking at his back as he walked away, I couldn't help but jump to my feet, damn it, my inn will be ruined by this guy sooner or later.
Li Li is the judge in the book, and the land lord is an immortal, how can these two characters who have nothing to do with each other be entangled? Could it be that there is still a hidden task line in the book "Water Margin"? I thought about it for a while, and it suddenly dawned on me that the ancient people believed in ghosts and gods, let alone seeing them with their own eyes, even if they just heard about it, they would take them as real, and it was no wonder that Li Li would pour wine for this old man with a respectful face.
Whether this old man is the land lord or not, this matter will be talked about later, but the most important thing now is to arrange a room for myself first, as soon as I thought of this, I picked up my things again, and walked through the lobby with a sad face, and went down the stairs to the second floor.
There was no movement on the second floor, I don't know what the helmsman Chen and Su Daji are doing now, I looked in the direction of room 201, and then looked at the direction of room 220, pondered for a while, turned around and walked towards the other end of the corridor without hesitation-hehe...... , everyone has a heart for beautiful women, and I am down-to-earth when I sleep next to beautiful women!
