Chapter 47: Turning Stone into Gold (1)
Liuhe Town is not a very big town, because it is relatively close to the county seat, so it is also a prosperous merchant who comes from south to north, when going to the county seat, he will choose to rest in this Liuhe town and repair it.
There are also those who miss the time to enter the city, and they will also stay in Liuhe Town for a night, and then enter the city early the next morning.
Most of the residents of Liuhe Town boast of being well-informed, and they are faintly arrogant, and they are all contemptuous of outsiders in their words and deeds.
The largest inn in Liuhe Town, Qingliu Inn, is like this, from the shopkeeper to the mother-in-law who cleans. It's just that their performance is not obvious, after all, they are doing the business of ushering in and sending them, if they show that they despise the guests, then how can this business continue?
When it was dark, a luxurious carriage stopped at the door of the Aoyagi Inn.
As soon as he saw the appearance of the carriage, the shopkeeper immediately put down the work in his hand and greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Hello guest officer, where do you want to stay at the guest officer?"
The jewel-covered curtain was lifted from the inside by a pair of small white hands, and a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth jumped out of the carriage.
The girl looked to be eight or nine years old, her chin was raised high, her eyes were slightly raised, and when she looked at people, she unconsciously squinted.
The girl glanced at the door of the Aoyagi Inn with disgust, her brow furrowed, as if she was about to get angry at any moment.
"Shocking Wind!"
One of the guards stepped out of the crowd and whispered something in the girl's ear, and the girl glared at him fiercely, said nothing, and threw her sleeves into the inn.
The guard, named "Storm", said to the embarrassed shopkeeper on the side, "Five upper rooms!"
After speaking, he didn't wait for the shopkeeper's answer, and followed him directly into the inn.
The shopkeeper frowned, and hurriedly caught up with the frightened wind: "Hey, guest officer, please forgive me, bear with me, there are only three rooms in the shop!"
"Then free up two more!" said Storm, impatiently.
"This ...... Guest, although the shop is small, but it is also based on integrity, since you live in our inn, the person who comes is the guest, everything must have a first come first, the shop has been open in Liuhe Town for decades, and has never done this kind of thing...... "The shopkeeper was embarrassed and said proudly.
"Okay, got it, huh, that's enough, right?" Shocking Wind took out a heavy purse from his bosom and threw it at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper reached out to catch it, opened the purse and looked at it, and was immediately shocked.
There are at least 100 taels of silver in the purse, not to mention five upper rooms, even fifty rooms, which is enough.
The shopkeeper can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, and over the years, it is not that he has never seen more silver to let him vacate the room, but he has never seen such a generous and heroic guest.
"Enough, enough, I'll find someone to vacate the house!" With so much money to open the way, even if he loses some reputation, the shopkeeper is naturally willing, not to mention where he has any credibility at all, in that case, it was originally determined that these people would pay a lot of money to let him vacate the house.
Seeing the appearance of the shopkeeper's wealth fan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer: "Remember to help us find five connected upper rooms!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed.
Qi Huan sat in front of the bed on the second floor of the Aoyagi Inn, just taking the shopkeeper's face into her eyes, she looked at the money bag in the shopkeeper's hand, and couldn't help but smile.
But her smile didn't last long, when she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Qi Huan opened the door and saw the shopkeeper standing in front of the door with a smirk.
"I remember I said, if I don't shout, don't disturb me, what's the matter with the shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said, "Are you still used to living in a guest officer?
Qi Huan knew that this was the shopkeeper's persimmon looking for a soft pinch, and seeing that she was alone as a little girl, he thought that she didn't dare to cause trouble, so he asked her to vacate the house first.
Qi Huan smiled: "Is there a better room?
The shopkeeper laughed: "Naturally, there are better, but it is generally not open, I also see that the girl is alone, and it is not safe to live in a room facing the street, so I made an exception for the girl to live!"
"Oh, and such a good thing, that's really thanks to the shopkeeper, but I like to watch the street scene, so I don't want to change it! Thank you for the shopkeeper's kindness!" Qi Huan said, and he was about to close the door.
The shopkeeper stretched out his foot to stop Qi Huan, took out two taels of silver from the money bag given by the storm, and handed it over.
"Girl, don't hide it, someone has taken a fancy to the room you live in, I have no choice, those people are not easy to provoke at first glance, I am also good for you, if you offend them, if they retaliate, it is still the girl who suffers!
In this way, these two taels of silver should be regarded as my compensation to the girl, if you check out, the deposit of this room money, I will return it to you, of course, if you can be wronged and change the room, it will be better, the shop will give you half the price, what do you think?"
The shopkeeper first coerced, then seduced, and looked like it was for her good, what should he be, and what he set up!
Qi Huan smiled and said lightly: "Thank you for telling the shopkeeper, but I'm such a dead-eyed person, I always like to be reasonable in everything, since I live in this room, and I'm quite satisfied, no matter who takes a fancy to it, after I check out tomorrow, he will live again!"
The shopkeeper saw that Qi Huan was soft and hard, his face suddenly became ugly, his eyes were stunned, and he was about to get angry, Qi Huan took off the deadbolt behind the door and played with it in his hand.
"I advise you to get acquainted with each other, don't toast and don't eat...... Eat ......"
As soon as Qi Huan's hand held the deadbolt hard, a piece of the deadbolt turned into pieces.
"What to eat?" Qi Phantom asked.
The shopkeeper thought that Qi Huan was a soft persimmon, but it turned out that this persimmon seemed to be a little hard and thorny, and he couldn't pinch it.
He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, shivered and said, "No, it's nothing!
After speaking, he didn't wait for Qi Huan to speak, and immediately turned around and ran downstairs.
"Wait a minute!" Qi Huan shouted to the shopkeeper, sneered and said: "The shopkeeper should be careful, don't think that you have taken a big advantage, be careful of taking a big loss!"
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and went downstairs.
For Qi Huan's reminder, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Anyway, he has seen the silver, it is a real tattooed silver, and the silver is in his hands, even if those people have some moths, he is not afraid!
The shopkeeper calmed down, went to the other two upper room guests, persuaded the two to give up the upper room, and finally arranged the little girl and her party.
