Chapter 70: Xu Yue's Invitation
Xu Wen didn't want to stay here for a few more moments. He didn't come here to entangle with a group of beggars. He had to go to Huzi immediately to discuss the plan to deal with Zhou Fu now. Huzi is really good, he hasn't finished dealing with the affairs in the east of the city, so he came to the west of the city to join in the fun.
If he hadn't come over this time, it is estimated that Huzi would have to fall here.
Xu Wen believes that there must be people over there who want to join the beggar gang. But now the situation is so serious, none of them dare to speak. There are many people who have this idea, but no one dares to take the lead on such an occasion.
Leaving here, Xu Wen returned to the inn alone.
After a while, Huzi hurriedly came over and looked at Xu Wen apologetically, "I'm sorry Brother Xu, I'm causing you trouble again." β
"It's not a hassle, you have to remember that the purpose of creating a beggar gang is to protect beggars from bullying, not for you to bully them. In the future, you can't just use the brothers of the beggars to deal with the beggars. Xu Wen said earnestly.
"Okay, I understand, Brother Xu, don't worry."
Xu Wen sat on the counter and said with a serious face: "Zhou Fu came to me and said that I would go to his son's full moon wine and ask me to be his son's father-in-law." β
"What!" Huzi was surprised, "Let Brother Xu be his son's father-in-law!" What did Zhou Fu think. β
"Zhou Fu probably meant to tell me that I was the same as him. I suspected that he might be in trouble, so he wooed me and wanted me to help him out. You ask your people to inquire if there is anything wrong with him and tell me in the evening. β
"Okay, I'll tell them now." Huzi turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, what's going on with what I asked you to arrange?" Xu Wen asked, "No problem, right?" β
"No problem, it's almost there, just wait for Brother Xu's orders." Huzi swore and said, "In order to complete Brother Xu's task, I made them pay a lot of price." β
"Alright, you'll listen to me next. Now let's investigate the situation on Zhou Fu's side first. Xu Wen said.
Huzi nodded, turned around and was about to leave. Just then, a woman in a light blue robe walked in at the door.
It's Xu Yue.
Here she is again.
Seeing this woman, Huzi immediately became vigilant.
Xu Yue glanced at Huzi and then looked at Xu Wen.
Xu Wen looked puzzled, no. This woman just left, why is she here again?
And I also changed my clothes.
Xu Wen looked at Huzi, "You go first." As he spoke, he looked at Xu Yue suspiciously, "Are you hungry again?" β
"How is that possible?" Xu Yue observed the environment of the inn, "You here, it seems that there is no business during this time. β
"It's not much business." Xu Wen said softly.
"It's because of that Chen Yi." Xu Yue walked towards Xu Wen, her eyes were like silk, "I brought you a business, it depends on whether you are willing or not." β
"Business? What business? Xu Wen was puzzled.
"Well, my grandmother died in my uncle's house, and she went home to mourn. The people in the family really don't have much appetite these days, so they want to find a cook to go over for a few days. Your craft is not bad, how's it going, would you like it? β
"I'm just good at lamb noodles." Xu Wen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Besides, your uncle is the current Xiangguo, what if he doesn't like to eat the dishes I cook and gives me death?" β
Xu Yue frowned and looked at Xu Wen strangely, "How do you know that my uncle is Lu Xiangguo, I remember, I never told you." Have you investigated me? β
"How could I possibly investigate you, you forgot what you said to Chen Yi before?"
Xu Yue nodded, and then said: "Don't worry, they won't kill you just because the food you make is not delicious, they just let you go over and try it." As for the gratuity, it will definitely satisfy you. You only need to go for seven days to be able to top your usual business for a few years. β
"I don't know how to cook anything else, I'm just good at lamb noodles." Xu Wen knew that Xu Yue suddenly came to him to go to the Lu Mansion for a different purpose. Perhaps, LΓΌ Buwei instructed him to do this. is nothing more than wanting to find out his details and identity.
"Are you really not going?" Xu Yue asked.
Xu Wen shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I don't have enough qualifications, and the things I make won't meet Xiangguo's appetite." There is a cook who cooks delicious food, and if you go to him, he will definitely be willing to go with you. β
Xu Yue was silent for a moment, looked at the inn, and continued: "If you go, I can find a way to help you solve Chen Yi's troubles. I guarantee that Chen Yi will not trouble you in the future, and your inn can reopen. Otherwise, it won't be long before you'll have to drink the northwest wind. β
Xu Yue was very calm on the surface, but behind the scenes, he had been observing Xu Wen. She looked at the inn to see if there was anything wrong. But from the looks of it, there's nothing wrong with it.
Xu Wen still refused. He didn't want to get involved with Lu Buwei.
"Alright then, come back to me when you change your mind." After speaking, Xu Yue paused, turned around and left the inn.
Xu Wen looked at Xu Yue's back and sneered in his heart.
Since you have taken the initiative to send it to the door, then I will use you to deal with Lu Buwei.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Xu Wen got up early in the morning and came to the kitchen.
There are still more than a dozen catties of pork in the kitchen, and it's a pity to put it there. There were no refrigerators in those days, but he got a cellar, but some time ago, he ran in and kept dying mice, and the whole cellar was dirty. He didn't dare to put the meat in the cellar anymore, if he was sick from the rat, it would really be a day and not a ground to be called.
Now that the weather has gradually warmed up, the pork will not be stored for a long time, and it will smell strange in three days at most.
Xu Wen rolled up his sleeves and began to make buns with noodles. There are no guests in the inn these days. The only guests were the merchants passing by, but as soon as they entered, they would be driven away by the people sent by Chen Yi.
In the morning, when the sun rose, Xu Wen's meat buns were also ready.
It's steaming, it's fragrant, and it's fragrant!
Full of five steamed buns, just at this time Huzi came, Xu Wen told Huzi to let him take out these things and share them with everyone. Seven or eight beggars walked in with their hands and feet, and while shouting to Xu Wen, Xu Gongzi, Brother Xu, they moved the buns out.
Xu Wen wiped his hands, sat on the counter, and asked Huzi, "How is it?" β
He picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Huzi.
