After receiving a reward of fifty taels of silver, Xiao Ding walked out of the county office with a snort and said nothing.

Zhao Laixi followed closely behind Xiao Ding's buttocks, but he was happy, and thanked Hu Zhixian again and again.

Fifty taels of silver, for Xiao Ding, the psychological gap is too big and I feel unacceptable. For Zhao Laixi, it is a lot of income. At least the county lord gave fifty taels, if you don't give a penny, what can you do if you are a powerless and powerless ordinary person? Can you still beat the county master?

Hu County Commander led his entourage to send Xiao Ding and the others out of the county government gate, and asked his subordinates to hand over the wolf to Xiao Ding. is still saying in his mouth, "There are many things in the house, please forgive the foolish brother for not being able to send it far away." "Brother Tian Xian must come to Ha ...... often when he is free" and something like that.

Several officials on duty at the concierge couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts when they saw that Master Hu was so polite to these two dirt buns. Brother Tian Xian? Could it be that these two people are relatives of the county magistrate? Fortunately, I didn't continue to offend these two before, otherwise the adults would blame it, wouldn't it be impossible to eat and walk around!

Xiao Ding was angry and didn't want to take over the wolf, so he wanted to leave directly. But on second thought, wouldn't it be cheaper for yourself to be this old fox! What's more, I really need money at the moment, I don't have anything at home, and there are too many things to buy. So he carried the wolf on his shoulders again.

Leaving the county office, Zhao Laixi also planned to take Xiao Ding to the market, but Xiao Ding shook his head.

"Let's go to Xiangmanlou!" Xiao Ding said.

Xiao Ding knew that if he went to the market to sell wolves, at most he would sell them at a market price, but now that it was afternoon, there must not be many people in the market, and it was hard to say whether he could sell them. And Xiangmanlou, I heard Hu County's order that this is the largest restaurant in Luoxia County, if you are willing to accept this wolf, it will definitely be higher than the market price. Fortunately, it is late autumn, the weather is not so hot, and the wolf has not broken down. But if you can't sell it today, it's hard to say tomorrow.

The two came to the street, asked for directions, and walked towards Xiangmanlou.

Xiangmanlou is located in the most prosperous area of the southern city of Luoxia County. Although it is not the largest restaurant in Luoxia County as Hu Xianling said, it is also one of the best in the restaurant industry in the entire county.

In Luoxia County, there are a few such ballads:

The moon in front of the pavilion is cool at night;

The top of the platform watches the sun and dyes the glow;

The building is full of drinking and incense;

The pavilion is full of flowers.

Among them, the first word of each sentence of the folk song "pavilion, platform, building, pavilion" refers to the four more famous locations in Luoxia County: Moon Worship Pavilion, Sun Viewing Platform, Xiangmanlou, Qunfang Pavilion.

The Moon Worship Pavilion is a pavilion in the Luoxia Temple in the northern city. Every year on August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the residents of Luoxia County have the custom of going to Luoxia Temple to worship the moon. Because there are a lot of people who come to worship the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the monks in the temple will put the incense case in the pavilion, and everyone can follow the fixed route and line up to take turns to worship the moon in front of the pavilion, which will not mess up the order. Therefore, this pavilion is called the Moon Worship Pavilion.

The viewing platform was built in the Zixia Academy in the west of the city, and the Zixia Academy was built on the top of a hill in the west of the city. Therefore, climbing the sundeck to watch the sunrise and sunset has become a kind of atmosphere of local literati and elegant vassals. If you don't go to the sundeck to watch the sunrise and sunset, and then write a few poems and songs, you will be like a literati.

The incense of the southern city is full of buildings, and the wine is the most famous. Legend has it that when a guest opens a jar of wine in the middle of the building, the whole street outside can smell the wine. Of course, this is just rumor. However, people who have been to Xiangmanlou and drank wine say that they don't feel fragrant anymore when they drink other people's wine.

Qunfang Pavilion is the largest green building in Luoxia County, located in the east city. It is formed by a main building and two wings connected to the east and west, forming a semi-enclosure and an atrium in the middle. The backyard of Qunfang Pavilion is a small garden, which carves and paints buildings, water pavilion corridors, flowers and birds everywhere, fragrant grass, and the scenery is needless to say. The most attractive thing in Qunfang Pavilion is the wine and beauty here. The most beautiful women in the city, the most talented women, almost all gathered here. There are also many women here who only sell their arts but not their bodies, they are not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, song and dance, they cannot be said to be proficient in everything, but they are also versatile, and they are good at their own strengths. At the same time, various selection activities are held here on a regular basis, either to select the beauty of the appearance and talent, or to test the literary knowledge of the sons and talents who patronize here. Therefore, Qunfang Pavilion is not only the largest gold cave in Luoxia County, but also a high-ranking official, the son of a nobleman, a rich businessman, a young talent, and a swinger...... The favorite place for all rich men.

Xiao Ding and Zhao Laixi came to the door of Xiangmanlou, the first thing that caught their eyes was the huge plaque hanging directly above the main entrance of the restaurant, "Xiangmanlou" three strong and powerful big characters jumped on the plaque, and there was a couplet on both sides of the main entrance of the restaurant:

Qilou is full of sunset, welcomes guests from all over the world, and tastes delicious food with the same taste;

The sun and the moon are long, receiving guests from all over the world, sharing the fragrant orchid.

Xiangmanlou covers a large area, but it has only three floors. In this era, due to the limited building materials and technology, buildings were generally not built too high. Only royalty, aristocracy, or some buildings with special purposes will be built higher than ordinary buildings.

Three floors are not unusual in this era.

The first floor of the Xiangmanlou is the hall, although it is already afternoon at this time, it is past the time of dinner, but it is still full. The second floor is a private room, and the noise of pushing cups and changing lamps comes down from the staircase on the second floor. The third floor is for dignitaries and nobles, and is generally rarely open to ordinary people.

At this moment, the guys who were busy suddenly saw two people in tattered clothes walking in from the door, and they were a little surprised, but they also came forward and said, "Two guest officers, do you want to eat?" ”

Generally, the people who come to eat in Xiangmanlou are almost not poor. Because the consumption here is relatively high, the average poor person cannot afford it. Therefore, there are few people in tattered clothes like Xiao Ding and Zhao Laixi who come to the building.

"Ah, we don't eat!" Xiao Ding said. Just as he was about to continue to say the purpose of this, he suddenly heard a "poof" laugh from a nearby table, followed by two light coughs.

Xiao Ding, Zhao Laixi and the shop guy looked at the table not far from the door at the same time, and saw a pretty girl wearing a red embroidered silk pleated satin skirt, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, her face was full of uncontrollable smiles, and the golden begonia beads on her head trembled.

At this time, the meal ordered by the girl in red had not yet arrived, and there was only a pot of tea on the table. Obviously, she heard the conversation between the guy and Xiaoding just now, and felt funny, so she couldn't help but spray tea.

Seeing that Xiao Ding and the others were looking back at her, she was a little embarrassed, her face flushed, and then she turned cold and shouted at the guy: "Look at the matter, serve the food quickly, my stomach is hungry and flat......" There was a slight Sichuan and Shu accent in her official language.

"Immediately, immediately, girl, please wait a minute!" The shopkeeper nodded and said, then urged the back kitchen, and then continued to ask Xiao Ding: "I don't know what the two guest officers are doing here?" ”

"Little second brother, I want to ask, do you want wolf meat in your restaurant?" Xiao Ding turned his face back and said.

"Wolf meat? Where is it? The guy asked.

Xiangmanlou is very famous in the city, and there are often hunters who come to send prey, generally sending pheasants and hares, and occasionally sending wild boars, but there have never been wolf meats.

"I put the wolf at the door when I came in. You can come with me and have a look. Xiao Ding said.

When the man came to the door, he was startled when he saw such a big wolf, and then he calmed down and said: "Let me tell you the truth, we have never received wolf meat here, if it is a pheasant, a hare, a wild boar or something, I can take it." But wolf meat, I need to report it to the treasurer......"

"Then please ask the little second brother to help and ......" Xiao Ding hurriedly surrendered his hand.

"But our shopkeeper isn't here today...... "The shopkeeper was embarrassed.

Xiao Dingxin said, it's really unlucky!

Why is it so hard to sell a wolf?
