The location chosen for the Zephyr Inn was clearly considered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is located in the western desert, but it is not deep, and it is only three days from the border of the Central Plains.

In this location, there are no other buildings or people nearby, only this lonely inn, so as long as the travelers who pass through here will most likely stay here for a night to recuperate.

In this way, although the inn's business is far from endless, it has not been broken. On average, every few days, there are always one or two groups of guests who come to stay overnight.

The frequency of guests coming to the door is so low, which makes Zhou Chen and a few other guys seem very relaxed, and there will be no situation of how busy they are.

On this day, the inn ushered in a lot of business, a small caravan with a total of twelve people, came to the Zephyr Inn to stay.

"Ten catties of cooked beef, thirty buns!"

A guy who ran the hall walked to the kitchen door and shouted.

"Okay!"

Chef Niu was not in the kitchen, and it was not Zhou Chen who replied, but the remaining apprentice.

Since that Aru became the one who poured the night pot, the remaining one seemed to have a sense of crisis and seemed to work a lot harder.

Zhou Chen glanced at him, this person was called Ah Liu, he was slightly tall and thin, and after he said hello, he began to get busy.

In fact, he doesn't need to do any complicated work, just cook the ready-made beef and buns.

was robbed by Ah Liu, Zhou Chen couldn't ask for it, and still sat on a small bench, breaking vegetable leaves there.

He asked casually, "Xiaohu, are there a new batch of guests?

Xiao Hu is the one who ran the hall, he hasn't left yet, just standing at the door of the kitchen and waiting, Zhou Chen saw this and inquired about the situation of the guests.

"Eh, I didn't count it carefully, it seems like a dozen. ”

Xiaohu is the same age as Chen Erhu, and he is also the same batch of teenagers who were bought by the shopkeeper, he was asked by Zhou Chen, so he simply walked into the kitchen, and also moved a small stool to sit next to Zhou Chen.

He was able to appear so idle because there were now three people who were out to greet guests, and he would be fine without one of them.

The West Wind Inn is not big, but the shopkeeper has bought so many people as partners, and he usually does not manage them strictly, which is strange to most of the guys.

Zhou Chen also couldn't figure it out, you have a black shop, why do you buy so many guys?

He had some conjectures, but he didn't think they were reliable, and then he didn't think much about it.

"More than a dozen people, what are they all doing?"

Zhou Chen continued to break the leaves and asked casually.

"I can't see it. ”

Xiao Hu scratched the back of his head and said, "But they came with two carriages, and they didn't let us get close, so they sent four people to watch it, I guess there is something valuable in the carriage." ”

"Something of value?"

Zhou Chen's face was silent, but he thought in his heart that this situation was probably the best target for the black shop. Although the shopkeeper has not shown up much, he must have known about the arrival of this group of guests, and I don't know if he will do it.

He and Xiao Hu continued to chat, and soon Ah Liu got the beef and buns ready, and he helped Xiao Hu walk to the lobby together.

In the evening, the group of guests asked for some food again, which was similar to the lunch meal, except that they ordered a few more side dishes.

This time I had to stir-fry, so the cow cook appeared.

No one knew what he had been doing in his room all day, but he came to the kitchen, and his face was expressionless and he didn't speak, which made Ah Liu tremble.

Zhou Chen had some premonitions when he saw Chef Niu's appearance, but he still did whatever he had to do in front of him.

Soon, what he expected happened.

After the cow chef fried the side dishes, he sent Ah Liu out, and only he and Zhou Chen were left in the kitchen.

"Two tigers. ”

After entering the kitchen, Cook Niu didn't speak, but now he finally spoke, and he couldn't tell the joy and anger from his tone, but Zhou Chen could feel a trace of coldness.

"Elder Niu, what do you have to say?"

Zhou Chen said respectfully as usual.

Chef Niu didn't speak immediately, but glanced at Zhou Chen, quite satisfied with the latter's cautious appearance, and then said, "You've been in this inn for three years, right?"

"Yes, Niu Lao. ”

Zhou Chen still replied respectfully.

He knows that he can't make mistakes at this time, and at the moment he is fully acting, fully controlling his feelings, and showing an attitude of wanting to perform.

"Hehe, although you have been here for three years, you probably don't know the true face of our store. ”

Chef Niu smiled gloomily, and continued: "I won't talk nonsense with you, just say it, our shop is doing black work, today's batch of guests is the so-called fat sheep, and I will act with the shopkeeper in the evening to slaughter this batch of fat sheep, and then count you one." ”

"Huh!?"

Zhou Chen made a shocked look, as if it was difficult to digest this kind of information in such a short period of time.

"What's the matter?"

Cook Niu sneered.

"What should I do?"

Zhou Chen didn't seem to be able to speak anymore, and he still looked panicked.

"Of course you can't do anything. I'll take you with me when it's time to move in the evening, and you'll just have to watch from the sidelines, and I'll leave you with the last chores. I won this opportunity for you, as long as this time passes, you will be my old cow's successor, how about it?"

Chef Niu said steadily, as if he was asking Zhou Chen how to choose, but in fact, there was a murderous intent hidden in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Chen, as long as the latter said a word, the kitchen knife he was holding in his hand at the moment would not hesitate to slash at the latter's neck.

"Well, I'll listen to Ox Lao. ”

Zhou Chen knew that it was almost enough to pretend, and if he showed extra indecision, he would only be disliked, and it was possible to be killed directly.

"Good. ”

Chef Niu smiled, he patted Zhou Chen's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "You kid should really thank me, if you miss this opportunity and delay it for a while, I'm afraid it will ...... Hey, hey, hey. ”

Chef Niu didn't say anything more, just smiled, patted Zhou Chen's shoulder again, and walked out of the kitchen.

"What do you mean, what if it drags on a little longer?"

Zhou Chen didn't understand what Chef Niu was talking about at all, but judging by his intuition, Chef Niu would definitely not be a trick when he said this, I am afraid that there is really some crisis that he does not know about.

"Whatever it is, according to Chef Cow, I'm safe now?"

Zhou Chen frowned thoughtfully.

He pondered the words of the cow cook, and faintly had some guesses. (To be continued.) )
