Chapter 9: The Red Dust Inn
It's a pity that Duan He couldn't hear this, otherwise, Duan He might really stop his steps and chat with Ling Li for a few words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After separating from Yi'an, Duan He found an inn with a good name: Red Dust Inn.
Duan He scattered his hair, and the expression on his face softened a little, at this time he no longer looked so cold and had the temperament of a son. It's just that the sword in his hand is too dazzling, and Duan He can't do without this sword, so no matter how you look at him, he looks like a swordsman, a swordsman with a good sword.
Duan He walked into the inn, and Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him.
"Tip or stay?" Xiao Er asked.
Duan He looked at the first floor of the inn, found a seat in the corner and sat down, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, so I can serve me some of your housekeeping dishes first, don't drink." ”
"Okay," Xiao Er agreed, and turned back to serve the others.
Business is good in this small inn, the whole ground floor is full of guests. Everyone chatted about their own, and although the first floor was noisy, there was an indescribable sense of intimacy.
Duan He sat there quietly, looking around the inn. This is a habit that his master taught him since he was a child, and when he arrives in a new place, he must observe his surroundings so that no matter what happens, he can deal with it quickly.
Duan He looked at it and noticed that something was wrong.
Although the tables in the inn are all good, there are a few shallow cracks on many of the tables. The wood of the table was extremely strong, and the cracks on it looked like they had been hit by a heavy object, and the cracks were crooked, not like ordinary wounds.
"Could it be that there are still too many people fighting here." Duan He thought.
The shopkeeper turned around and took a pot of tea for Duan He, the tea leaves were fragrant, and the smell was good tea, it seemed that the store still had a good conscience towards the guests.
Duan He drank tea for a while, and the meal was finally ready, and the shopkeeper shouted "Come" like Duan He walking.
As a result, as he walked, the shopkeeper suddenly slipped under his feet, and the food almost fell to the ground.
"Uncle offended, uncle offended." Xiao Er's face was full of sweat, and he put the food on Duan He's table and made a big loss. Duan He waved his hand, signaling that it was okay.
There are two dishes and a bowl of dishes, one is a small stir-fried pork and the other is tofu, and it is not bad with a large bowl of rice.
Duan He took a few bites and saw the shopkeeper in the distance talking to the shopkeeper.
"Next time, be a little sober, this time I met someone who didn't care, and if I encountered a meal that I didn't care, I would have to re-serve it. Don't have this kind of thing happen again when you serve the food for a while, and go to the back room to eat after the food is served, and I will take care of it first. The shopkeeper said to the shopkeeper.
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper replied with a few sentences and continued to be busy.
The conversation was not loud, but Duan He listened to it squarely. Duan He beckoned: "Shopkeeper, come and talk." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly ran to Duan He, "What's wrong with the uncle?" Is this dish not palatable? ”
"No, no," Duan He took a sip of tea and said, "I just see that you are a good person, and you have a good temper and temperament, if you change to an ordinary shopkeeper, you will definitely scold the shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "My temper is not good, but this little second is kind to me, and people are still helping me here, so I naturally have to be polite." ”
"Oh? But I don't know what it is? Duan He asked.
"It seems that the guest officer is definitely not a local, heck, this matter is a long story." The shopkeeper's face was actually a little excited, and he said: "Our inn, in the past, was called Jiangnan Inn. ”
The shopkeeper began to recall the events of that day, a dart master who was killed, a fight between two masters, and how the shopkeeper saved his life at the most critical moment.
"If he hadn't given up his life, I'm afraid my little shop wouldn't have been able to open. I still remember that day, and the broken table is still in my back kitchen. The shopkeeper said.
"Oh." Duan He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he didn't expect these things to happen here.
"Shopkeeper, then if you say so, aren't you afraid that these people will know that you have died here and will not dare to come? Also, what did you do with the cart of gold? ”
After listening to this, the shopkeeper said: "The neighbors who have died here know that there is a fortune teller who has taken a look at me, and asked me to change my name to the Hongchen Inn and say that it can ensure that my business is prosperous, so I listened." Sure enough, there are still a lot of people here, and business is much better than in the past. ”
"What about the box of gold?"
The face of the shopkeeper changed when he mentioned it, and he said, "Don't ask about this, the guest officer, this is also a problem of mine now." ”
When Duan He heard this answer, he didn't ask anymore, smiled and lowered his head to continue eating.
After eating, Duan He picked up the teacup again, the tea here was fragrant, and Duan He couldn't help but drink a few more cups.
"Xiao Er, find me a room, I want to stay." After drinking this pot of tea, Duan He finally made up his mind to live here. If nothing else, just for this fragrant tea.
Over there, Xiao Er hurriedly worked and led Duan He up to the second floor to find a fairly clean room. Duan He didn't say anything else, he sat on the bed and closed his eyes.
Duan He still had ten taels of silver left on his body, and these ten taels of silver were still given to him by Yi Anqiang's fortress. Originally, Yi An prepared a hundred taels, but Duan He didn't want it. After three times of persuasion, Duan He took a piece of silver and carried it on his body.
"There's someone here fighting like this for that little thing." Duan He thought about what the shopkeeper had just said, and suddenly thought of something, stood up and went downstairs.
Xiao Er saw Duan He going downstairs, and hurriedly greeted him again and said, "What do you have to say from the guest officer?" ”
"It's okay, I'd like to go to your back kitchen."
"I'm still going to serve guests here, so I won't accompany you to the back kitchen, just open the curtain in front and turn left." Xiao Er gestured a few times and continued to be busy serving.
There are guests from both north and south, and there are all kinds of quirks. Some of them had to go to the back kitchen to see if the dishes were clean, but Xiao Er didn't take it seriously and continued to work on his own.
Duan He opened the curtain and walked into the back kitchen, and the first thing that caught his eye was the table that had been smashed with a wine jug.
The chef didn't raise an eyebrow when he saw someone coming in. Serving people is the work of the people who came before, he is a cook, and he doesn't have to care about anything.
Duan He looked around the table for a long time, and three of the four legs of the table were broken, leaning crookedly against the wall. A large hole has been smashed into the table with a hard object, and the rest of the place is still intact, which is probably why the store still has this table.
"It's really good kung fu." Duan He exclaimed.
