Chapter 344: A Restaurant in the Rain in Qingyuan County
In the fifteenth year of Liyang, the sixth day of the sixth month of June
Since the beginning of June, the rain in Qingyuan has been continuous, at first it was heavy rain, the rain has decreased in the past two days, but it is also continuous, walking on the street, without an umbrella to cover it, you can get soaked with a hundred breaths.
Luogu Street
Sha San hugged his fat dog, held the hat, and entered a restaurant in a bit of embarrassment.
"Third master, you're here."
Sha San wandered around the street every day, and he was also a regular customer in this restaurant, and when he saw him come in, a guy immediately came over to say hello and politely handed over a clean towel.
"This rain, it doesn't end raining, and it makes me feel moldy."
Putting the fat dog in his arms on the ground, Sha San took off the hat on his head, and while wiping his rain-soaked hair with the towel handed by his buddy, he muttered angrily about the rain for days.
The restaurant guy has been waiting carefully, waiting for Sha San to wipe off the rain stains on his hair and body, and immediately took back the towel.
"Third master, what's wrong with you, it's still the same old rule today, a basket of buns, two plates of side dishes, and a pot of old wine?"
Sha San moved his nose and thought for a while: "It's cold today, eat to warm your body, take a picture of the side dishes, change the buns to wontons, if you have mutton soup, you can also have a bowl, don't want the wine first, my throat was frozen yesterday, it's not good to drink." ”
"Well, you wait, the little one will prepare food for you."
The man answered, led Shasan to an empty table, and left to order food.
…………
The guy left, Sha San sat on his seat, fiddled with the dishes and chopsticks, and was about to lean over to tease the puppy, when he suddenly saw a half-grown teenager wearing a blue robe and high-top black boots walking into the restaurant, carrying an oil umbrella that had just been put away and was still dripping down.
As soon as he saw this young man, Sha San was startled, and hurriedly got up to salute the young man.
"Sixth Master."
The guests sitting in the restaurant around and those who knew the teenager also got up to greet the teenager one after another, smiling brightly and respectfully, while those who did not know the identity of the teenager were also shocked by this scene and got up in a daze.
"Everybody sit, everybody sit."
The young man smiled kindly, bowed his hand to everyone, and greeted the restaurant shopkeeper who greeted him personally.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, sixth master, you haven't come to take care of our business for a few days, please take a seat."
Shopkeeper Zhao is a chubby middle-aged man, in his forties, with two black mustaches on his lips, and the fat on his cheeks on both sides trembled when he smiled, like a big fat mouse stealing food, which was very funny.
However, ordinary people don't dare to underestimate this Zhao Fat Man, although this person is obese, but his temperament is a first-class violence, I heard that when he was young, he killed someone when he learned boxing, and his family made a lot of money to avoid prison.
Later, the shopkeeper Zhao was old, inherited his parents' inheritance, and opened a restaurant in the county, I don't know if it was luck, or what, the business was getting bigger and bigger, and in less than a few years, he opened three branches in the county, and even Linxian County had his business.
Nowadays, although the shopkeeper Zhao is not a big family in the city, he is also a character when he pulls it out, and when he enters the door with a guest like Shasan, he doesn't need to come out to greet him when he sees it.
It was the special identity of the young man who had just come that alarmed the master, and he came over attentively.
…………
Coincidentally, there was no vacant seat in the restaurant at this time, and Sha San was the last empty table.
Shopkeeper Zhao originally wanted to beckon the young "Sixth Master" to sit down, but there was no vacancy in the lobby, and his face changed greatly, but fortunately, Sha San, who was sitting at the table next to him, was clever, and when he saw this scene, he took the initiative to stand up and relieve the siege for Zhao's shopkeeper.
"Sixth Master, I haven't moved yet, why don't you use it first."
The young man glanced at Sha San's table, except for a set of dishes and chopsticks that had just been placed, there were no other objects, and his heart moved, and he understood that this person had just arrived, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Don't bother, if you don't dislike it, let's share the table together."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, it's Shasan's blessing to be able to eat at the same table with the sixth master."
Sha San's face was bright, and he hurriedly pulled out the chair and invited the young "Sixth Master" to sit down, and the shopkeeper Zhao next to him also gave Sha San a grateful look, thanked him for rounding the field for himself, and then took the initiative to speak.
"It's all a small shop that doesn't greet well, today the two masters' meal shop is invited, if you need anything, just ask."
"Sixth Master" smiled, didn't say anything more, arched his hand to Shopkeeper Zhao, and then opened his mouth to order, Shopkeeper Zhao personally wrote it down, and then said goodbye and went back to the kitchen to order.
As soon as he left, a guy brought a pot of good tea, saying that Zhao's shopkeeper apologized to the distinguished guests and specially presented good tea.
"Thank you for me."
After the "Sixth Master" thanked him, Sha San took the teapot with a smile and poured a cup of tea for the "Sixth Master".
…………
"Sixth Master" took it, took a sip, and then asked Sha San to pour a cup to taste, Sha San was immediately overjoyed, full of thanks, saying that he was lucky today, he heard the magpie cry early in the morning, and sure enough, now he drank good tea in the light of the sixth master.
I forgot that not long ago, he was still talking about his bad luck today because of the rain.
Sha Sanneng was a fool on the street, with a very neat mouth, although he and the "Sixth Master" had only just met, but in a few words, the "Sixth Master" was softened by his eyes, and his attitude towards him became a little affectionate.
After a while, Sha San's dish was served first, and Sha San saw that the "Sixth Master" was kind, so he opened his mouth while the iron was hot and asked him to use it first.
The "sixth master" had already ordered a meal himself, and he didn't want to take the food, but he had just rushed into the city overnight, and his stomach was already hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have come out of the restaurant alone for no reason.
I didn't feel it when I chatted with Shopkeeper Zhao and Sha San just now, but when I saw the hot buns and mutton soup at this time, I suddenly felt a little unbearable.
Seeing this, Sha San greeted him even more courteously, and the "Sixth Master" thought that it would be a big deal to wait for his meal to be served, and he would divide Sha San some, so he was no longer polite and ate and drank.
Looking at the "Sixth Master" who was in a little anxious to eat, Sha San reacted a little, feeling that this person was hungry, looking at his clothes, although his clothes were okay, but the boots under his feet were stained with a lot of mud.
Luogujie connects the county avenue, are bluestone slabs paved, although there is rain here, but there is also a lot of water and no mud stains, in combination with the identity of this person, early in the morning, will not run to the county town where there is a mud road toss.
What's more, if you are walking on a dirt road, it is impossible to just wear mud on your boots, Sha San's mind is quite delicate, and he quickly deduced that this eighty percent had just come in from outside the city.
There is no mud or water on the body, because the carriage you are sitting in has mud on your boots, which should have been stained by not paying attention when getting on and off the carriage.
Thinking about it like this, it will all be right, Sha San secretly pondered in his heart.
…………
Sha San has a hobby, that is, he likes to show off his cleverness, if others guess the itinerary of the "Sixth Master" from these details, they will definitely hide it in their hearts as a secret, and they will not have to say it.
But he is different, he deliberately broke it in front of the main owner, so as to show it to others.
It was also his luck that the "Sixth Master" was not angry at his teasing, but admitted it truthfully, nodded and said that he did come from Linxian Tengxian overnight, and he did take a carriage on the road.
After hearing this, Sha San was a little complacent, the "sixth master" looked funny, and asked: "Can you see where I came from, can you guess where I will go in a while." ”
"What's so hard about that?"
Sha San smiled and took a sip of tea: "Who in the whole Qingyuan doesn't know that your sixth master is from the General's Mansion, as soon as you enter the city, you came to Causeway Street, and you want to go to the General's Mansion." ”
"Sixth Master" smiled faintly, looking at Sha San's eyes, his eyes suddenly began to become inexplicable, and his soft voice turned into calm: "You are smart." ”
The eyes of the "Sixth Master" were not comfortable, and soon Sha San was a little uncomfortable by him, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart, and the pride in his brain was swept away in an instant, and the whole person suddenly sobered up, and then his whole body suddenly cooled.
He was really blinded by lard, and he was actually clever in front of the people in the General's Mansion, damn, is the matter of the General's Mansion allowed others to figure out at will............
Thinking of this, Sha San shook his body and almost collapsed to the ground, his face was full of fear, he fell to his knees and begged for mercy.
"Sixth master, please spare me, I didn't mean to, I'm just a cheap person who loves to nag, you have a lot of adults, let go of the villain."
…………
Sha San knelt down, and the "Sixth Master" remained silent and continued to eat Sha San's mutton soup dumplings, but the guests next to him were startled.
But everyone is not stupid, when they encounter this kind of thing, they all press their curiosity to the bottom of their hearts, and their heads are nailed to the dishes on their tables, and they don't turn in the direction of Shasan.
People love to watch the excitement, but the vast majority of people also know that some of the excitement can be watched, and some of the excitement should not be mixed.
It's just that others can pretend to be quails, but the shopkeeper Zhao of the restaurant can't avoid it, whether it is the "Sixth Master" and Sha San, whoever has an accident in the store, he wants to be an Ansheng in the future.
Therefore, although he scolded Sha San in his heart, Shopkeeper Zhao still came to the side of the "sixth master" and said with a smile.
"Sixth master, what's the matter, Shasan, are you kid stuffing too much yellow soup, and you're talking nonsense here."
Although he didn't know what was going on, Shopkeeper Zhao was still familiar with giving Sha San a reason to get drunk, which was also the standard excuse for ordinary stores to play round.
Seeing the shopkeeper Zhao come out, the "sixth master" also put down the chopsticks in his hand, to be honest, he was not very angry in his heart, but he was a little annoyed that Sha San was smart.
If it's just a trick on himself, he is not a character who can't joke, but Sha Sancuo is wrong and climbed to the general's mansion under his pride.
Although Sha San never had any nonsense, the "Sixth Master" has always been loyal to the General's Mansion, and when he heard that someone was using the General's Mansion as a raft to show off, he was dissatisfied.
However, although he was a little dissatisfied with Sha San, the "Sixth Master" didn't want to do anything with Sha San, and deliberately showed a cold face, just to use this to knock and beat.
Otherwise, if he really had the heart to clean up Shasan, he would not deliberately show his attitude, and he would have saved it as a handle.
Now that there is a shopkeeper Zhao interceding for Sha San, the "sixth master" pushed the boat down the river and let Sha San get up, but he didn't want to warn him.
"Everyone has a little cleverness, and it doesn't hurt to be pretentious, but who can be involved, there must be a rod and scale in your heart, and the nobles don't care about you, but let someone with a heart make an article about it, and your kid's eight lives are not enough to pay."
"Yes, yes, the villain remembers the teachings of the sixth master, and he must be cautious in his words and deeds in the future."
Sha San was so frightened that his urine was about to come out, and he expressed his attitude to the "sixth master" with palpitations.
Seeing that his attitude was quite correct, the "Sixth Master" nodded slightly, and was about to say a few more words, when he suddenly heard a rumbling horse's hooves passing outside the store.
After hearing the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, the "sixth master", who was still indifferent, changed his face greatly, got up suddenly, and left the restaurant in a hurry without saying a word, so busy that he forgot to take the umbrella.
…………
The sixth master left suddenly in a hurry, leaving everyone in the store to look at each other, and in the end, it was the shopkeeper Zhao who was well-informed, and he was the first to react, and commanded his men to inquire.
The man obeyed the order, picked up an umbrella and rushed into the rain curtain, about half a stick of incense, and the man came back with an excited face.
"More than 100 cavalry came to the General's Mansion, I heard that Yan Pingbei sent them from the front, and now the county commander and the big families are in a hurry to go to Yan's Mansion to meet them, and the carriages and sedan chairs block the street entrance tightly."
Yan Kui sent someone back from the front line!
As soon as the man's words came out, the whole restaurant fell into a boil, as a heavy general who went out of Qingyuan, Yan Kui is the pride of Qingyuan people, and many people want to witness this new general's fellow countryman.
It's a pity that Yan Kui has always been on the front line, and he rarely sends people to spread the message (the dark network messages are quietly sent to Yan's mansion, and people outside don't know), what everyone wants to know, it is all promulgated by the county government, or listen to folk rumors.
Now, after Yan Kui went to the front line, it was the first time that he sent someone back to Qingyuan in such a move, as a citizen of the same city, can he not be shaken.
The guests of the restaurant were discussing what Yan Kui sent back this time, but Shopkeeper Zhao quietly pulled Sha San, who was full of confusion, to the door and quietly instructed.
"Recently, it is estimated that the county town has been lively for a while, and you have just come out with the sixth master, so it is hard to guarantee that you will not be implicated.
How old is my brother, give you a piece of advice, go to the countryside to find a relative to hide for a few days, if there are no relatives in the countryside, hide at home and don't come out, and stop during this time, it will definitely not harm you. ”
Sha San understood that the shopkeeper Zhao was for his own good, so he solemnly thanked him, and then hurried home in the rain.
Looking at his departing back, Shopkeeper Zhao sighed, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the General's Mansion on the same street, through the rain curtain, he faintly noticed some figures, and couldn't help grinning, showing envy.
When will he be qualified to visit the General's Mansion............
