In a few moments, the guys in the store hall had most of the outside door panels down.

The shopkeeper looked at me and said, "The inn is going to close now, please return to you."

That's what it means to drive people away!

The rain outside showed no sign of stopping, and before I entered, I checked out what was said to be the largest inn in the city.

The three-storey building, with its attached front and back yards, doesn't look like a place that can only accommodate a convoy of people.

I don't want to just leave, so I insist on fighting with the shopkeeper again. "The guests you received before will not occupy the entire inn."

I said in a good voice: "If you are worried that the other party will be disturbed, you can give a room on the ground floor." "You are accommodating, such a heavy rain, so let my master have a place to settle down." "We are also from Yingtian, we have been on the road for many days, and the old man's legs and feet can't stand the moisture, and the old disease is committed, the legs hurt, and it is difficult to move." "I'm willing to pay a little more, so you can make it easier."

With that, I respectfully bowed to the shopkeeper. "You little brother, I didn't say it, why don't you understand what I mean." The shopkeeper looked at me and said helplessly, "If you want to talk about myself, don't mention the reason you just had, it's just a room, how can you not let you live in it, and besides, you give me a lot of silver." "There is no reason to open a store and do business." "I can't say yes, it's all because of the guests upstairs." "His subordinates made it clear that they were not allowed to receive other guests today, so they asked me to close the store." "The other party has a noble status, and he can't afford to be offended." The shopkeeper's face was helpless, "The silver prepaid for entering the door is enough for the inn to receive full guests for a few days." “

I persevered, grinding for half an hour, the rain outside was like a downpour, and the shopkeeper finally relented.

The condition was that I could only bring the master in, and the rest of the people had to stop in the open space under the big tree outside the inn.

Don't make a loud noise and startle the guests upstairs.

Out of understanding. The shopkeeper promised to wait for the upstairs guests to finish the kitchen, a little later, the kitchen was empty, borrow me to use it, boil some hot water, boil some porridge or something.

This is already the best result I can achieve!

The dart master made an umbrella for me, and together he helped Chen Shi into the most remote room on the ground floor of the inn.

The location is very remote, almost negligible, and there are piles of furniture from some stores that are not usually used.

I tidied up with the dart master before I became a living person.

When passing by the wooden staircase leading upstairs. It dawned on me. The shopkeeper talked about the people in the convoy. I didn't live on the ground floor at all, no matter the master's entourage, I lived on the second and third floors.

That is, the gang would rather have the ground floor empty. I don't want to be disturbed by idle people!

Isn't there so much money that there's nowhere to spend it? I said a few words in my heart, but I couldn't tell anyone in person.

The shopkeeper can promise me to lend me a small partial, which is a great favor.

Helping Master Chen to the room to rest, I asked the shopkeeper for some steamed buns first, and asked the master to take them to the people in the medical hall who accompanied him.

I looked at the master apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for you, follow us out, you don't even have a place to live." “

He said happily: "I'm used to it, it's common to spend the night in the carriage." “

Wait for him to leave the store. I continued to talk to Master Chen, and said the conversation I had with the shopkeeper just now, and he also said with surprise on his face: "Even if you are from Yingtian, aren't you from the imperial court?" “

I just complained in my heart, but I didn't think about it. When he said this, my eyes widened, and I realized that this possibility was actually the greatest!

Chen Shi pondered for a moment and said: "The disaster situation in Jianghuai is strict, and there must be a lot of folds in the court. "It would be almost impossible for the imperial court not to send visiting ministers to appease the victims." "Teacher, according to the usual practice, what grade of courtiers are usually sent?" I'm curious about this statement, and I can't help but think of Xiao Ning in the Zihuan Palace.

Every time I think of him, my feelings are a little complicated, and the room is silent for a while.

I secretly wondered which one he would send to Jianghuai to inspect the disaster? "It's usually two people, as is customary." Chen Shi didn't sell the guanzi either, and said bluntly, "Wenchen is generally used to appease the victims and do some things to open a warehouse for relief, while the military generals are quietly transferred to the past, for fear that the local disaster victims will cause trouble." “

Considering that it was likely to be the "Wenchen" mentioned by Master Chen upstairs, I lowered my voice and said, "Teacher, what are the officials who were originally stationed in Jianghuai going to do at this time?" “

Master Chen smiled, his eyes stayed on my face for a while, and said, "I'm busy writing and playing." To state the disaster, you have to ask the court to ask for silver, and the most important thing is that you have to put gold on your face, and you have to do something superficial. ”

"You're talking about going to the front line of the disaster?"

Chen Shi nodded and said: "Hengzhi has nothing to do with us, but I hope that after arriving in Jianghuai North, the opening of the Renshantang branch will be helped by local officials." ”

"This is a good thing for the benefit of the people, can they still stop it?" My eyes flashed.

"It's hard to say, but I hope so." Master Chen didn't look so optimistic, which seemed natural to me, because his expression made my heart chuckle.

After less than half an hour of talking, Master Chen showed a tired expression, and his hand tapped the meridians on his leg again and again.

"Teacher, you wait a while, I told the shopkeeper that the guests upstairs will use up the kitchen before they can lend it to me for a while, and when the time comes, I will boil hot water for you and boil some medicinal soup to drink."

I helped Master Chen to rest on the mat, and when he saw me coming to the door to leave, he said loudly: "Xiaolin, remember to get some food for the people in the hospital." ”

"It's okay for our own people to say, the most sorry thing is the dart master."

I turned around and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I'll go and see it in a while, I took the ready-made steamed buns just now, if it's not enough, when the kitchen is for me, I'll make a few more side dishes and serve them to them." ”

Walking in the aisle on the ground floor, I can hear the movement from upstairs is not loud, thinking of such a convoy, adding up to less than twenty or thirty people, it can be so orderly.

It seems that more money is secondary, and what Chen Shi said may be a courtier, but it made me flash a thought.

I figured out that the main man should live on the top floor, not be disturbed, and from his subordinates, he would probably be a reliable official.

Not to mention in Yingtian, even in a place as big as Guanlan, officials have to make a big noise when they travel.

The disgust level decreased a little, and I walked down the aisle all the way to the lobby of the inn for dinner, and went out to check on the people in the convoy with an umbrella.

There were no complaints, and after the big guys had eaten the steamed buns and drank some water, they gathered around one of the larger carriages to talk.

Seeing me go up, a junior brother said, "Senior Brother Lin, how is Dr. Chen now?" ”

He asked, and the brothers and sisters who were talking stopped and looked at me in unison.

I responded: "He's fine, let's rest for a while, I'll wait for the people who chartered the inn to finish the kitchen, and then go to make medicine for him, what do you want to eat, tell me now." ”

"In a moment, I'll go to the kitchen and cook."

With a deliberately suppressed cheer, I motioned to the gang to be lighter and joked, "My cooking skills are very bad, don't listen to me let you order, whether it tastes like that, I'm not sure if it tastes like that." ”

Speak first, lest they be disappointed.

The dart master smiled: "Xiaolin, you can simply cook two vegetarian dishes, and you will not go wrong." ”

"Stir-fry another pickle, senior brother, it's best to use this steamed bun."

"Okay, you don't ask for much, I can meet it." I agreed, "I'll take a look at the dishes prepared in the kitchen of the inn and pick a few that are convenient for me." ”

"Wait for tomorrow when the weather is better, let's go to the restaurant in the city to have a good meal, come out for a few days, you are tired of eating dry food, the next stop is Jianghuai, I'm afraid that when we get there, I can't take care of it." "Let's eat something good tomorrow."

When the kitchen was empty, the shopkeeper accompanied me in.

I was shocked to see the long table in the room full of ingredients.

"Are you a restaurant or an inn?" I was shocked by the scene in front of me and looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously.

He was also taken aback and said, "The ingredients are not purchased by the chef in the store, and I have accounts every day." ”

He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "It must have been brought by the distinguished guest who chartered the inn." ”

In this way, I really don't believe that it is difficult for the other party's important ministers, wait, I suddenly thought of Xiao Ning, who was the same, could it be that the courtiers who followed him were also contaminated with his problems.

First boiled the medicinal soup, boiled hot water and sent it to Master Chen.

Naturally, I didn't dare to move that pile of ingredients, so I only picked the extra ingredients from the chef in the store and made a few dishes.

Putting the bowl into the basket and preparing to carry it to the car to the door, the group of people who were going to the comfort hospital suddenly heard footsteps on the wooden ladder.

I was about to leave, but there was no way to avoid the large kitchen!

Hurriedly out of the kitchen, ready to find a corner in the courtyard to hide.

The other party is extremely fast.

I was blocked in the middle of the road by someone who came and couldn't dodge, and he blocked me with his open arms.

It was a slightly chubby young man in his twenties, dressed in a simple green cloth robe, and he looked down at the few small dishes prepared in my basket.

"You're the cook in this inn?" He asked me tentatively, but in a gentle tone.

For a while, it stopped me and asked, is this going to be the truth?

"Speak." He urged.

I had to hum in a vague way. "Why don't you cook a few dishes for me?"

I looked up at him in surprise. "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up." He looked very anxious, "Give you half an hour, you must finish it." ”

I was pushed to the stove by him, looking at the table full of ingredients, I couldn't know what to do, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a while.

"This guest, why don't you tell me, what do you want me to cook?" I couldn't help but ask him.
