Chapter 15: Hard Bubbles

After listening to what Yu Wenzhong had seen and heard, Yan Kang patted his thigh happily and said with a smile: "Lao Zhong, you foodie, can be regarded as my lucky general!" ”

After speaking, he took Ye Siming, Yuwenzhong and Yu Wenyi, two brothers, and rode to the Hexi wine store on horseback.

Since the last fight, the Hexi liquor store has become more famous, and it is already full of customers at dusk.

Yu Wenzhong had some small means, and spent two taels of silver to buy the seats of the guests at the next table, and then arranged for everyone to sit down.

Yu Wenzhong often came, and the lame shopkeeper nodded at him when he saw him, which was regarded as a greeting. Seeing that the four of them seemed to be dominated by Wan Yankang, the child, the shopkeeper also had a plan in his heart, so he stepped forward and greeted politely: "This young master, I don't know what you want to eat?" ”

Wan Yankang waved his hand and said, "Pick up all the delicious food." ”

After a while, a clever young man in the back kitchen served a large plate of roast mutton, stir-fried kidneys, and served a bowl of hot haggis soup to everyone, and also cut a large stack of cucumbers and sent a stack of peanuts.

Wan Yankang smelled this aroma and understood in his heart that this barbecue was famous for using cumin. In this era, the production of cumin is not much, although it can be used for barbecue to increase the flavor, ordinary people are reluctant to use it.

After Yan Kang ate a few bites of roast mutton, it tasted really good, and he was amazed again and again. A few people ate naturally and refreshingly, and when they were full of food and drink, they called the lame man to come over and settle the bill.

Taking advantage of the checkout, Wan Yankang asked the lame man: "I heard my guard say that the shopkeeper brothers are all excellent in martial arts, and they are all in the army, I don't know where they used to work?" ”

The lame man looked at Yu Wenzhong, his eyes widened, he lowered his head again, and said in a muffled voice: "Crippled people, don't dare to speak bravely, the young master has won the award." ”

Wan Yankang saw that this person did not answer directly, so he said: "Since the shopkeeper is not easy to say, you might as well ask someone who can be the master to come out and see it." ”

The lame man went to the back kitchen to call someone, and after a while, the one-eyed man walked up to Wan Yankang and asked, "This little young master, what is the matter with calling me out?" ”

As soon as this person came, his body was full of anger, and Yu Wenyi and Yu Wenyi were a little nervous.

Wan Yankang didn't take it seriously, but said with a faint smile: "I see that these heroes are all capable, and it is really aggrieved to open a small shop here, and I want to invite a few people to go out of the mountain to do things for me." ”

The one-eyed man didn't ask Yan Kang where he came from or what he wanted to ask himself to do, he just smiled: "Little master, I understand your kindness, if you are full, please go back early!" ”

After Yan Kang ate a hard nail, he couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, but when he invited someone to do this kind of thing, he could only discuss it with good words, so he could only give up that day and return in a huff.

On the way back, Yu Wenzhong cautiously asked, "Young Master, let's forget it?" ”

Wan Yankang said with a smile: "During the Three Kingdoms, Uncle Liu Huang looked at the thatched house three times, and invited Zhuge Kongming to come out of the mountain and achieve a hegemony, but it can't be done today, and we will go again tomorrow." ”

I went back the next day, but the one-eyed man still didn't buy it at all, and still sent Yan Kang away in two sentences.

On the third day, the one-eyed man didn't come out at all, and directly asked the lame man to send Wan Yankang away.

On the way out, several people didn't say a word, and their faces were gloomy and tight. Yuwen Yi was suddenly annoyed and said: "A few dogs, dare to snub the young master so much, I will bring someone over when I turn around, and burn down this shabby wine shop, so that he can't do business." ”

Wan Yankang shook his head, if he used this method, he would only force him to become an enemy in the past few days.

His mind was spinning sharply, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he thought about it, so he ordered Yu Wenyi to do this and this, and asked Yu Wenzhong to find out the details of these people.

At noon on this day, when the Hexi wine shop had just opened, eight big men walked in, each occupying a table.

Seeing that the group of people were all strong and uniformly dressed, and it seemed that the comers were not good, the lame man called the one-eyed man and the others out, walked to the first table and said, "Friend, what do you have to say?" ”

The big man at the table said lazily: "I'm here to eat, a pound of mutton and a pound of good wine for me to come up quickly." ”

Seeing this, the lame man was a little puzzled, so he asked, "How many of you are together, why don't you sit at two tables and eat?" ”

"I don't know them, just serve me food!" The big man at the table said impatiently.

When I asked the guests at the other tables, the remaining seven big men all said the same.

Although I know that there is a problem, but when I open the door to do business, there is naturally no reason to go out to catch customers. As long as this wave of people doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, the store can't have a seizure, the lame man suppressed the irritability in his heart, and told Xiao Er to hurry up and serve the food, thinking that this wave of people would get out of the way early after eating.

The guests who usually come to eat, let alone one person have to order one or two catties of meat, and a large amount of three or five catties is not a problem.

On this day, these eight big men each ordered a pound of mutton, chewed it and swallowed it slowly, eager to chew every shredded meat and swallow it slowly.

The meal was eaten from noon to dinner, and many guests came in the middle, and most of them turned around and left.

There are also those who dare to share a table to eat, but they are all driven away by these eight big men without mentioning it.

Although the Hexi liquor shop is not big, the business is usually quite good, slaughtering more than a dozen sheep every day, selling two or three hundred catties of meat, and the wine is also sold quickly.

Today, this wave of people sat until dinner, ordering a total of eight catties of meat and eight catties of wine.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, the wine and meat of the eight tables of guests were finally finished, and the lame man came over with a calm face and said, "Friend, after the lunch, please take care of yourself, the small shop will open at night." ”

The first man grinned and said: "Shop, your meat is delicious, I can't afford to leave, dinner is also at your house, give me another pound of meat!" ”

When the one-eyed man heard it in the kitchen, he screamed angrily, and he couldn't wait to immediately raise a knife to come out and cut people, and finally he was hugged by someone, and he was dissuaded by the eldest brother and brought into the inner room.

finally stayed up until closing, and the eight big men got up to check out and leave.

The lame man looked at the backs of several people leaving, and he couldn't wait to rush over and beat a few people.

At noon the next day, as soon as the Hexi wine shop opened, eight big men sat in, and the people who came were different from yesterday, but the way to make things was exactly the same.

When the robed man learned this, he called both the one-eyed man and the lame man to sit down in the back room, leaving only a shrewd little man in front to greet him.

As soon as the one-eyed man sat down, he immediately got up again, paced around the room non-stop, and said fiercely: "These bird thieves, according to Grandpa's temperament, will kill them all." ”

The robed man slapped the table and said angrily: "Wu Er, who are you grandfather!" ”

The one-eyed man's name is Wu Shiman, and people close to him call him Wu Er or Second Brother, this person looks like he is not afraid of the sky and the earth on weekdays, and he only dares not be presumptuous in front of the robed man. Hearing that the robed man was angry, he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Big brother, I'm not angry with these bird thieves. ”

The robed man pondered for a moment and said, "Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming." Since these people are so strong, more than a dozen people can come in two days, which is not something that ordinary people can support. Nine times out of ten, the people of the forbidden army suffered a loss that day and wanted to get back to the field. ”

Wu Shiman was happy when he heard it: "I also think that those bird thieves came to the door to cause trouble, and I didn't remember it after hitting it once, so I'll go and give them some color to see." ”

The lame man hurriedly said: "Second brother, no, although these people came here to make trouble, they didn't make trouble, and they were all customers in the store." It's easy for us to knock them out, but I'm afraid that there will be traps behind them. ”

The robed man said: "What the fourth said is reasonable, these people must have arranged a back hand to do this." If we do it first, we will lose our reason, and we will inevitably let others handle it. Two virtuous brothers, don't be angry. ”

Wu Shiman and Ma Si both nodded helplessly.

The robed man continued: "Since these people are in the army, they can only send people out when they are not on duty, and they themselves can't bear to do this." Let's just do less business, what's the big deal, it depends on who is impatient and who survives! ”

Wu Shiman waved his fist fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "These eggless bird thieves, when they can't help but have a seizure, grandpa has to knock out all their eggs." ”

Someone took the blame for no reason, and the development of things was naturally not as Wu Shiman expected. In the blink of an eye, five days later, there were still eight people chewing shredded meat slowly in the wine shop.

The robed man was good-tempered among several people, but he was almost on the verge of an outbreak, so he forcibly held down Wu Shiman and the others, and walked to the wine shop alone.

The robed man looked at it for a moment, and saw that one person at the table seemed to be the leader, so he went over and said, "Friend, you also have some heads, you lost the last time, and you want to get back to the field?" If you have any tricks, you might as well use them clearly, why use these three indiscriminate tricks. ”

The person at the table was also a little stunned, and after thinking about it, he said embarrassedly: "This is the master, there may be some misunderstanding in this matter, we are not from the forbidden army." ”

The robed man's eyes were full of doubts: "Really? ”

This man arched his hand: "The young master of my family wants to talk to Your Excellency about something, and I have been closed several times, so I have made this decision, I am really helpless, and I hope that Your Excellency Haihan." ”

The robed big man said: "Who is the young master of your family?" ”

The person at the table took out a lacquered gold waist card, and the man in the robe took it and looked at it, and the word "Zhao" was written on it.

The robed man exclaimed: "Could it be the prince of King Zhao?" ”

The person at the table nodded and said, "Exactly, can you please move with your Excellency and a few brothers to talk to the young master of my family?" ”

The robed man entered and asked Wu Shiman, Ma Si and others, only to learn that Yan Kang had come a few days ago. Hearing that Wu Shiman and Ma Si were so supportive, he couldn't help but scold the two of them fiercely.

"The horses are ready, please come with me." Yu Wenzhong walked in from outside the store with a smile.
