Chapter 109: Black Shop
Suddenly, a gust of wind came in through the window, swaying the lamp on the table. At this time, although it is summertime, but near the mountain, the weather has changed, and this gust of wind blows in and suddenly feels cold and swishing.
Wan Liutang frowned and said, "This kind of rain is even more sticky, and my body feels very cold! Fortunately, we are all spiritual cultivators, if ordinary people are only afraid of being caught in the rain, they must be sick." We also seem to have to drink some wine to beat off the cold. ”
Nodding his head, he said, "Okay." The shopkeeper walked in again, and said to Sun Haotian with a smile: "This area is close to the high mountains, the climate changes from time to time, this rain, the night is like late autumn, and the gentlemen are all catching up with the rain, but do you want to burn two pots of wine to catch the cold?"
Sun Haotian grew up in Jiangnan and was used to drinking Shao wine, so he asked the shopkeeper: "Do you have a better flower carving?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Look at a small inn like ours, how can we still prepare Qinan wine? Like a few of your guests, our Houjia shop is easy to see! If you don't change the taste, our sorghum roast is not a local pot, it is brought from Dagu, Zhili." This wine will ensure that you will drink it with a unique flavor in your mouth. If you drink it with the wrong taste, the wine is still ours, and I don't want you to find money, and I will bring you a few more wines. ”
Wan Liutang said: "Okay, man, look at the preparations! We are not rich guests, we don't have any restrictions, as long as we clean up a little." What's wrong with you guy who got down? Tell him, man, that we'll have to give him more money for drinks when we leave. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said: "Where did the master say, he was hurt and complained that he was careless, so he didn't have to take it to heart." The guy walked out of the house with a smile on his face.
Sun Haotian said to Wan Liutang: "Senior brother, look at the two guys here, one is too slippery, and the other is too kind. There are two guys in the store, but they won't offend the customers. ”
Wan Liutang snorted from his nostrils and said: "I see that the two boys are not enough for the material of the guy, that guy speaks harshly and treacherously, and this one is also hiding a knife in his smile, which is more evil than that." ”
Sun Haotian said: "Fortunately, we don't plan to stay here for a long time, as long as the rain stops a little tomorrow, we will get up quickly, why bother with such an ignorant villain?
Wan Liutang said, "Senior brother, can't you see it when you go through the spiritual cultivation realm? This kind of shop will never do business in a proper manner. Honest guests come to stay with them, they are arbitrarily blackmailing, and they should ask for ten for one. People who go out to do business, who dare to make trouble, can only admit their heads and suffer losses. ”
Situ Qian listened to it and said angrily: "Isn't it a black shop?"
Wan Liutang said: "If they are really like that, it will be easy to do." This kind of shop is based on people, and it is not extorted when you see customers. Like our guests, he would never dare to use that set. They have a very high eyesight, they are the spiritual cultivators, they are at once behaving, they are more honest and amiable than other small inns, so they can do evil for a long time. We don't want to live in this kind of shop unless it's raining. They only want money, not death, so how can they easily meet our peers!"
Situ Qian was about to answer, but the shopkeeper had already brought in wine and food from outside. The guy Chen Er, who was injured by Zuo Heng's fall, also helped his partner put the wine and dinner on the table. Chen Er didn't say a word, just glared at Zuo Heng, and immediately went out with the oil tray.
When Sun Haotian saw that the guy was serving four kinds of wine and food, two pots of wine, and two kinds of food, although it was not rich, it was clean when he looked at it. Sun Haotian moved the oil lamp to the table where the wine and dinner were served, and suddenly said to Situ Qian: "Aren't you going to the toilet to relieve yourself?" The shopkeeper agreed, and immediately led Situ Qian out of the house.
Situ Qian saw that the master sent himself out for no reason, there must be a reason. After thinking about it, it was because the shopkeeper was in the house, talking or something he didn't want him to see, so he asked me to transfer him out, and the master talked to the uncle.
Situ Qian also deliberately asked long and short questions, but the shopkeeper replied very patiently and led Situ Qian to the front toilet. This has been delayed for a while, and the rain outside is still dripping. Situ Qian had already finished his small relief, and when he saw the guy running to the kitchen, he walked a few steps back to the house. Seeing the master, uncle, and old brothers, they were already drinking wine for the first time.
Zuo Heng sat with him at the bottom, but he had already chewed on the beef with the steamed bun. Zuo Heng sat down empty, reserved for himself, a wine glass, full of a glass of wine, and sat down himself.
Zuo Heng hurriedly said: "Senior brother, the master made an exception tonight and asked us to drink a glass of wine, but we are not allowed to drink a second glass, you can drink it with confidence! ”
Wan Liutang was talking to his senior brother, so he glared at Zuo Heng and said, "It's always you who talk a lot!"
Situ Qian already understood that the master had sent the shopkeeper out to check for any defects in the wine. Seeing that the master didn't call for such a thing, he didn't dare to say more, so he picked up the wine jug and filled it with a glass for the master and uncle, drank the glass of wine himself, and then ate it first.
Situ Qian and Zuo Heng were facing the back wall, and there was a window open on the back wall, which was not high, and they could just look out from the window when they stood there. The sticks of the windows have been removed, and the window paper has many holes. Situ Qian inadvertently raised his head occasionally, as if he saw a pair of eyes peeking in from the hole in the broken paper.
Situ Qian was sitting at the left table, without a sound, pressed the corner of the table, and swooped to the back window. Situ Qian's figure was slightly shorter, so he had to stretch out his hand, push the back window out, and touch the cornice under the back window with his left hand, and his body was long, and the probe looked out. How do you know that outside the back window is already a street behind the shop, guarding the riverside, and there is no trace of pedestrians outside.
When Situ Qian looked out again, he only vaguely saw the lights of the boats on the edge of the river, and there were no pedestrians nearby. Outside, the silky drizzle was still falling.
Situ Qian suddenly pounced forward, Sun Haotian turned his neck, and asked here: "What's the matter?" Situ Qian hurriedly closed the window. At this time, the guy also came in from outside, holding a plate of hot steamed buns in his hand, Situ Qian hurriedly said: "The window is not closed tightly after this, the wind is too strong!"
The shopkeeper put the plate on the table and said to Sun Haotian without mind: "Master can pay attention to the back window, there is already a walkway of the river embankment outside the window." You don't see us here, why don't you dare to put it in the house? Our shopkeeper lives at this time, and we have to be really careful about the bits and pieces of clothes!"
Wan Liutang saw that the guy's expression was calm, so he said, "Okay! Fortunately, we don't have any bits and pieces. Man, you don't need to add more steamed buns, there is porridge for you. ”
The guy smiled and said, "Bear with me, there's no porridge." I thought of making you a bowl of soup, but the soy sauce and sesame oil in the kitchen were gone. This kind of small place is not sold, you bear with me, I will make you a pot of good tea. He took the pot out.
Because of this kind of small inn, it is common for Wan Liutang and the others to eat and drink inconveniently, and they never thought about the unreasonable preparation of their meals, but asked Situ Qian: "Why? dare someone snoop on us outside the window?"
Situ Qian said: "I don't dare to say for sure, the disciple accidentally found someone looking at the window, and when he rushed over to check, there was no one outside." Outside the window, there is a river embankment, and the chance passing of walking is unknown. ”
