When Zhu Youzhen and the others returned to the inn, it was already past noon, just in time for the peak of eating in the inn, and the lobby was almost full.

Zhu Youzhen and a few people finally found an empty table to sit down, and when Xiao Er who ran the hall saw that these people were coming, he knew that these people were guests from the capital yesterday evening, and he made a generous move, so Xiao Er hurriedly came over to greet him.

When he came to the table of Zhu Youzhen and a few people, the white sweat towel in the little second-hand was put on his shoulder, and he greeted with a smile: "What do you eat objectively?" ”

It's just that the voice of Xiao Er in the hall fell, and Zhu Youzhen and a few people heard a voice not far from him shouting: "Xiao Er, the master hasn't greeted me yet?" Why did you run away, when will the dishes ordered by the master be served? ”

A few people looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw two people sitting in front of a square table, both of them were fifteen or sixteen years old, one was wearing a washed white shabby yellow monk's robe, with many patches on it, and the other was wearing a white sheep's belly handkerchief on his head, which was tied in a circle on the top of his head.

The one who shouted was the little monk in the yellow monk's robe, Xiao Er smiled at the man and said: "Objectively later, there are many diners at this time, and objectively may have to wait a little longer, the back kitchen is busy now, if you can't hold it, you can eat some mats on the table first, this thing is available for free." ”

The two of them looked like they were poor people when they looked pretended, but they also liked to put up a shelf, so the little two of the running hall were polite to the two, but they were not respectful in their hearts, and the two of them only ordered a vegetarian dish and a few catties of multigrain cakes when they occupied a table.

Xiao Er saw the two arguing, so he used the free burner pole on the table to taunt them.

The branded mountain pole is compacted and branded with some miscellaneous grain seedlings and roots, but all the guests who are a little particular will not eat, but the two of them don't want silver when they hear it, and they can't care about the little two who run the hall, pick up the branded mountain pole and eat it, thinking that they are very hungry, and the half pot of the branded mountain pole will be eaten clean by the two after a while.

Zhu Youjian saw the appearance of the two of them a little strangely and asked the running hall junior two: "Those two people look like they are dressed in northern Shaanxi, and they are not very old, why do they stay in Baoding Mansion?" ”

The running hall Xiao Er replied: "Every year in northern Shaanxi, there will be people who come to pass through Baoding twice, the little ones have heard before, they are all in northern Shaanxi to herd sheep for the masters, and they will go to the capital and then send live sheep to the south of Zhili twice a year." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and didn't ask any more, ordered food, Zhu Youzhen also reached out and picked up a piece of branded mountain pole from the clay pot on the table, first turned it over and looked at it, only to see that the cake-like branding mountain pole was burnt yellow on both sides, and if you look closely, it is just some thick and thin miscellaneous grain poles and roots.

Zhu Youzhen put the burning mountain pole into his mouth and took a bite, and after chewing it slightly, he couldn't help frowning, only to feel that the thing in the entrance was dry and astringent, and it was not very easy to chew, he put the remaining burning mountain pole back into the clay pot, and swallowed what he ate in his mouth with difficulty.

Luo Sigong looked at Zhu Youzhen and couldn't help but quip: "How about the fifth brother?" This mouthful of branded mountain poles can be regarded as experiencing the life of the people at the bottom, and if you can't eat and vomit, why bother yourself? I wonder what it tastes like? ”

Zhu Youzhen swallowed the burner in his mouth and said, "I want to know what it tastes like?" Don't you know if you taste it yourself? ”

Luo Yangxing said with a face full of refusal: "I can almost understand your expression, I won't be okay to find guilt." ”

Zhu Youzhen smashed it and said: "It's bitter, astringent and unpalatable, and it hurts my throat." ”

Not long after, the little second who ran the hall brought the meal ordered by the little monk in the yellow robe to the table, and said, "Two guest officers, please use it slowly." ”

Xiao Er was about to turn around and leave after finishing the meal, but he heard the little monk in yellow robe say to Xiao Er: "You all withdraw this meal, you have such a late meal here, and the two of you are already full when they smell the aroma of the food on the table around them." ”

The little two were very disdainful in his heart, obviously he was full of the burning mountain pole in the clay pot, but he said that he was full when he smelled the smell, if you smelled the smell and smelled full, where did the burning mountain pole in the clay pot go?

However, Xiao Er didn't say much, so he was ready to accept the meal as they said, and he said while collecting it: "Since the two guest officers are full, let's pay the bill." ”

The little monk in the yellow robe seemed to have heard something incredible, and exclaimed, "What account? We haven't eaten any food, so why do we have to pay the bill? ”

The little two who ran the hall were stunned for a moment, and then frowned and looked at the yellow-robed little monk and said, "Are you here to eat white food?" Don't look at where this is, you two Northwest people actually ate white food and came to Baoding Mansion. ”

The little monk in the yellow robe continued: "Why does the little brother speak so ugly? Where do we eat white food? It's just that because your meal is late, we smell and smell full, and we haven't eaten this meal, how can we call it white food? ”

Seeing that this little monk in yellow robe was good at arguing and was used to messing around, he was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to refute it, in short, he recognized that these two people ordered food and didn't pay for it to eat white food. He didn't entangle with the two of them much, so he shouted to the shopkeeper at the counter: "Shopkeeper, someone has come to eat white food." ”

The shopkeeper was bowing his head at the counter to settle accounts, and when he heard that someone was eating white food, he immediately raised his head and responded, "Who?" ”

The running hall junior pointed to the yellow-robed little monk and said, "These are the two people." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he put down the abacus in his hand and walked out of the counter, came to Xiao Er's side and asked, "What's the matter?" Why did you accept this meal without eating? But the food is not to the liking of the two? ”

The little two said: "These two have never touched the food at all. ”

The little monk in the yellow robe listened to Xiao Er's words, and immediately retorted: "Your meals are so slow, the two of us are already full when we sit here and smell the aroma of the food around us, how can we eat again." ”

The little monk in the yellow robe told the shopkeeper about the previous crooked reasoning again.

What to say smell the aroma of the food and smell full, it is really nonsense, the shopkeeper looked at the empty clay basin on the table and knew what was going on, but the shopkeeper was not entangled with the little monk in the yellow robe on this matter, the burnt mountain pole in the clay pot was originally provided free of charge to the guests waiting for food, but it was the first time that these two people ate most of the pots of mountain poles, and how many of them could afford to eat in the inn could swallow the bitter taste of the burnt mountain pole.

The shopkeeper looked at the little monk in the yellow robe with a smile and said, "I don't know the name of the guest official? ”

The little monk in the yellow robe sat up straight and said: "It's easy to say, the master's surname is Li Hongji, and everyone calls me Master Huang Lai, and this is my nephew Li Guo." ”

This little monk in the yellow robe deliberately raised his identity, and others called him Huang Lai Monk or Huang Lai Little Monk, but no one called him Master Huang Lai.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately put on a respectful look and said: "It turned out to be Master Huang Lai, disrespectful and disrespectful, but the master may not know the rules of the shop, anyone who comes to the shop to eat, but just ask for a full meal, whether it is to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, or to eat a dough cake to eat, as long as it is full, then you have to pay." Since my food here is served, some people will eat it until they are full, and some people will be full after just one bite, and the master thinks that the person who tastes it should not pay? ”

"The guest who took a bite should have paid, but I didn't eat a bite."

The shopkeeper said: "The guest officer is full, the guests in this store are full, since they are all full, of course the guest officer has to pay, but if the guest officer wants to take these meals to eat on the road, then it is okay." ”

The little monk in the yellow robe said: "What the shopkeeper said is very reasonable, that is, it is more reasonable than this little two who run the hall, and this meal is more money?" ”

The little monk in the yellow robe glanced at him, all of them are for you to pay, what is the difference between what the shopkeeper said and what I said?

Seeing that the little monk in the yellow robe had already touched the silver in his arms, Xiao Er said: "A plate of fried artemisia annua, ten pieces of multigrain cakes, a total of one penny of silver." ”

Xiao Er's words fell, and the little monk in the yellow robe took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it on the dining table, making a "bang" sound, and the little monk in the yellow robe asked, "Do you hear the sound of silver?" How much silver? ”

The little second smiled and was about to reach out to the table to take the silver penny that the little monk in the yellow robe had dropped, he stretched out his hand and said, "I heard, a penny of silver is just right." ”

But before Xiao Er took the piece of silver, the little monk in the yellow robe quickly reached out and grabbed the piece of silver in his hand again, and then stuffed it into his arms.

Xiao Er felt that he was being played, and said angrily: "Are you little monk here to make trouble today?" ”

The little monk in the yellow robe said with a smile: "The two of us are naturally here to eat, and we don't want to make trouble, since the shopkeeper said that we have to pay when we smell full, we smell the smell of the food, and you have heard the voice of the silver, and my voice of the silver is just enough to pay for the fragrance of your food." ”

After speaking, the little monk in the yellow robe pulled up the young man named Li Guo next to him and said, "The meal money has also been settled, let's go." ”

Zhu Youzhen and the others listened interestingly, this little monk in the yellow robe is not very old, but he has a lot of ghost ideas, but he just wants to rely on this wit and not pay, and the shopkeeper will naturally not agree.

As soon as he saw the two little monks in the yellow robe getting up to leave, Xiao Er immediately stretched out his hand to stop in front of the two and said, "Pay for the meal before leaving." ”

The little monk in the yellow robe snorted and said, "We are obviously in a situation where we have money and goods, but you still have to collect money from me, what is the reason?" If you mess around again, don't blame me for being polite. ”

The shopkeeper standing aside said: "You little monk is a scoundrel, I call you a master to give you enough face, but you are so ignorant, are you practicing the Buddha of Joy in the temple?" I can't see that the little monk has a bit of a monk's appearance, sharp teeth, flamboyant tongue, I think he eats too much oil meat in the temple. ”

As soon as he heard that the shopkeeper was sarcastically mocking him, the little monk in the yellow robe picked up the rattan whip used to drive the sheep around him and waved it at the shopkeeper's face.

The shopkeeper didn't expect this little monk to be so irritable, not only came to eat white food, but also started to do it without saying a word, one didn't pay attention, and his face was firmly beaten, and suddenly a red blood mark was imprinted on the shopkeeper's face.

The shopkeeper touched the place where he had been whipped by the rattan whip with his hand, and it was a hot pain, and he opened his mouth and cursed: "The little bald donkey not only wants to eat and drink for nothing, but also dares to do it, see that I don't break your hands and feet and send you to the official again." ”

Saying that, the shopkeeper's skills were about to be grabbed by the little monk in the yellow robe.
