Chapter 21 The Search for Green Dwelling
Wu Ning's inn opened on the 29th, instead of the 30th day before the first day of the new year, mainly for two reasons.
The first is that his cheap eldest brother Meng Cangsheng counted the day, saying that July 29 is an auspicious day of the zodiac, there are no taboos, and everything is fine;
The second is that the vegetable cellar in the backyard has finally been dug up.
Now that the work is over, the seventh brother and the eleventh brother will naturally not use it.
Wu Ning wanted to take advantage of the fact that everyone was still there, and invited everyone to have a good meal and chat with everyone on the pretext of the opening.
There are also those elders in the col, brothers of the same clan who have helped, and they should also be invited to come over and have fun together.
Therefore, on the twenty-ninth day, the Wu family's courtyard opened, but it was closed.
On the first day, Wu Ning took out five hundred big money and asked Wu Li and Wu Qi to go into the city and buy half a sheep back.
Early in the morning of the 29th morning, the fifth aunt led a group of aunts and aunts to Wu's house to help.
There are people inside and outside the courtyard, washing vegetables and washing rice, just like the New Year.
Even the always serious Old Ancestor Jun showed a rare smile, supporting him inside and out, as if this was his own business.
At noon, more than a dozen tables were set up, and Wu Ning was also open, not only did he have a sumptuous meal, but also enough wine.
"Huzi, where is your mother?" The banquet started immediately, but Wu Ning hadn't seen Aunt Seven yet.
Although it is said that Aunt Qi is usually a little tricky, but on this occasion, almost half of the people from the Ao Zizi have come, and it is inappropriate not to call Aunt Qi.
Huzi drooled while staring at the big meat in the vegetable bowl, and replied heartlessly: "My mother went to Chenjiazhuang for a short job, and I have been there for a few days, and I haven't returned yet." β
Now in the summer harvest season, there are few vegetable fields in the mountain pass, and basically each family can be busy with each family's harvest, unlike Chenjiazhuang, where large families have a lot of land, and they have to hire people from other villages to help harvest the harvest every year.
"Oh." Wu Ning nodded, the number of etiquette is up, but there is no way if the person is not in the col.
"Then let's call the ancestor to open the banquet!"
......
"Jiulang, everyone's inn has a name, do you have to have a name for this inn?"
During the banquet, the sixth uncle remembered the stubble of the name.
These days, he just said something less, and today I remembered it, and I don't have a name yet?
Wu Ning really doesn't care about the fact that he can't be named, it was originally a small shop with only two rooms, and he is still a fugitive, could it be true that he hung a sign in front of the door, called so-and-so inn? Isn't that because you're not eye-catching enough?
But since the sixth uncle mentioned it, Wu Ning thought about it carefully, and felt that it was not a bad thing to have a name, at least people mentioned that he had a name for this small shop, at most he would not be listed.
looked at Zujun, "It's okay to have a name, so Zujun will give you one?" β
"Me?" Old Ancestor Jun was happy, "Your ancestor doesn't know a basket of big characters, how can you get a name?" Let your uncle come! β
Well, my uncle is educated, and he starts with him.
Wu Ning turned his head to look over and found that the ugly uncle was really thinking there with a wine bowl.
To put it bluntly, although Uncle Ugly doesn't really want Wu Ning to open any inn, but in the past two months, the family has changed a lot, and Uncle Ugly really likes the decorations in the courtyard.
Come up with a name...... It's suitable, too.
"That's called...."
Raise your eyes to see the mountains and forests, and look for the grass and trees with low eyebrows.
"Then let's call it Xuncui Inn!"
"Seeking Emerald?" Wu Ning silently recited, "Looking for the green ....."
Not bad! Looking for green in the mountains, it is quite meaningful, and it is very appropriate to the layout of the courtyard.
"Xun Cui...."
"Otherwise, it's called Xuncuiju, right?"
"Looking for Cuiju?" The ugly uncle was stunned for a moment, removed the "inn", and used the word "residence" alone.
"Wonderful! The end is ingenious! β
Removing the word "inn" also removes the cheesiness of businessmen, and outsiders hear the name of "Xuncuiju", and the first feeling is like their own home.
"It's called Xuncuiju!"
......
ββββββββ
The name of the store has been decided, the two good rooms have been packed up, and the rest is just waiting for the guests to come to the door.
On the twenty-ninth day, there was definitely no business, so Wu Ning simply beckoned the people of Quan'ao to drink until it was nearly dusk.
Early the next morning, the fifth aunt came over early, and together with Wu Ning, Wu Li, and Wu Qi, they cleaned the small courtyard inside and out, just waiting for the evening when the guests who went up the mountain went to the store.
In the afternoon, Meng Cangsheng ran out of the Immortal Temple, stayed at Wu Ning's house and didn't leave.
He was also curious about whether there was anyone living in Wu Ning's inn.
Near evening, the sixth uncle, as well as the eleventh and seventh brothers, also came, and like Meng Cangsheng, they were all curious.
Even the fourth uncle Wu Changlu came back from the city for a night and wanted to see it.
Everyone stared at each other, and waited in Xuncuiju for an afternoon, not to mention the guests, there was no half of a figure on the mountain road.
"This, this can't be Xiao Daochang's anger, right? Aren't everyone looking for him to ask for divination? β
"Wait!" Wu Ning was quite calm, mainly because he was still very confident in Xiao Daoren's ability to fool people.
At dusk, the sparse pulls on the mountain road begin to be sparse, and people go up the mountain one after another.
"Sure enough!" Wu Changlu finally smiled reassuringly.
"Xiao Daochang can only start the hexagram tomorrow morning, of course everyone is out of the city before dark, who is okay to come here in the afternoon to suffer?"
"But ......" Wu Li looked at more and more pilgrims going up the mountain, but he was still a little unsure.
"But this man is going to the mountains, and he doesn't come to us!"
"Huh." Wu Ning laughed dryly when he heard this.
Isn't this nonsense? You don't even have a brand, who knows you're an inn?
"Wait until it's dark, don't rush."
......
After dark, the number of people going up the mountain did not decrease, but increased.
Wu Ning calculated, at least a hundred people went up, Xiao Lao said goodbye to the two hours of morning and dusk, he couldn't finish even if he was busy all day.
Most of the people here will probably come tomorrow.
"Wu Li, hang the lantern out."
"Howler!"
Wu Laoba couldn't wait for a long time, and hanging out the lantern was equivalent to hanging out a signboard.
Hanging a lamp in front of the door is not a casual hanging, it is exquisite.
In front of the door, a pair of plain lanterns are hung and the old ones are still high, which is called the door lamp, which can only be hung by official households.
And only one or a string of picks is not low, and that is the inn of the investment store.
Of course, if you think that the plain lantern is not good-looking, and you have to hang the lantern, then no one will stop you. However, most of the people who slam the door at night are drunkards or perverts.
Because the person who picks the lantern, whether it is a faΓ§ade or a private house, it is the same meaning, either a brothel or a prostitute.
......
The lamp was picked out, and it did have an effect, and the pilgrims on the mountain road all looked sideways. No one thought that there was an inn in this remote mountain village, and it would do business!
But then again, when I saw it, I saw it, and I knew that it was an inn, but there was no one who really came to find out, or who had the heart to invest in the store.
Without it, the grade is too low.
What is the identity of the people who came to Xiao Daoren to ask about the hexagram? A wealthy gentry within a radius of several hundred miles. Let them live in a big car shop in the mountains, isn't that a price drop? It's better to be next to each other in the wilderness, and you can't lose your identity.
"Why hasn't anyone come yet?"
It was already late at night, and the fourth uncle, the sixth uncle, and the seventh brother couldn't stay up, so they went back to sleep.
There are only a few small ones left, and they can't bear the excitement and wait and look forward to it.
"Don't worry." Wu Ning is quite calm.
"You're so good at being in the wilderness? After a while, naturally some people couldn't stand it and sent it to the door themselves. β
......
It is also true, in the middle of summer in July and August, at night, it is a dense forest and weedy mountain, and there are many mosquitoes, and it is called a sour and refreshing bite.
It didn't take long for someone to get through it.
"Brother Kjin!"
Syllable!!
The young man dressed as a scholar slapped his cheek and looked at the lantern on the opposite side of the mountain road: "Otherwise, let's go to the investment store." β
