Hehuan Inn.

The moment the young man at the counter looked up, he saw three old men walking in with a smile, one of whom had a slight impression, as if he was the owner of the Four Treasures Shop of the Study, and the other two had never met.

He put down the abacus in his hand and was about to go out to greet him, but was stopped by Xiao Wang on the side.

Xiao Wang patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "You are now Mr. Bookkeeper, settle your accounts well, greet guests, and let newcomers exercise and exercise!" ”

Xiao Wang turned around and shouted into the back kitchen, "Xiao Yu, come out and greet the guests!" ”

The young man in the Confucian shirt shook his head and smiled, returned to the counter and continued to bow his head to settle the account, Xiao Wang looked left and right, took advantage of no one's attention, grinned, and whispered in the young man's ear: "This Yuan Dachun finally has a little conscience, and he knows that he has found a novice to help in the store!" ”

Xiao Wang exhaled and said again: "If I had put it on hold, I really wouldn't have dared to receive so many guests!" ”

This old man of the Hehuan Inn suddenly remembered that at that time, he was still a shopkeeper and a fellow Li Zhujiao, and he received so many guests every day that he was tired to death sooner or later.

So the two of them combined, if the shopkeeper happened to be not in the store, then he would not receive customers, and only symbolically received so many dozen or twenty every day, and if there were more, they simply claimed to be closed.

Thinking of this, the old man Xiao Wang suddenly laughed.

"Brother Wang, what are you doing stupidly here?" Han Limo looked at him there, and he didn't know what he thought of and smiled so happily.

"No, no, nothing, hehe!" Xiao Wang waved his hand, still smiling from the bottom of his heart, "Then I'll go to the kitchen first!" ”

"That Xiaoyu, why hasn't he come out yet!" Xiao Wang put the rag on his shoulder and shouted as he walked.

A young man named Xiaoyu wiped his hands and ran out and asked, "What is Brother Wang looking for me?" ”

"It's been so many days, it's time to learn how to order food for guests or something, there are three guests outside, you go and say hello!"

Xiao Wang put down a sentence and went directly into the kitchen.

Xiao Yu seemed to be a little excited and nodded, finally there was something else to do, this dish washing work has long been tired!

"Little Er, come on, come on!" The three old men sat down at the square table one after another, and a white-haired old man beckoned to Xiao Yu.

"Here, come on, what do the four guest officers need to eat?" Xiao Yu bowed slightly and asked with a smile.

As the saying goes, guests are the stars of the heavens, and they are the gods of wealth in the temple, and they cannot be treated sloppily.

Since Yuan Dachun handed over Xiaoyu to him, no matter how much he didn't like this fat-headed and fat-brained guy, he still had to be taught, at least he was worthy of Xiaoyu.

The white-haired old man was Mo Dafa, and seeing that the young man in front of him was quite polite, he smiled and said, "Young man, let's have two pots of spirits first!" ”

"Oops, sake, sake. The spirits can't stand it! The old man who spoke was a little older, and everyone shouted out to Zhao Lao.

When Zhao Lao heard that Mo Dafa wanted spirits, he hurriedly beckoned Xiao Yu back!

This person is old, where can he still stand the hot and hot liquor, and this old bone will not fall apart if he drinks it!

Mo Dafa shook his big fan and laughed with disdain: "Brother Zhao is not already old!" Can't even drink this spicy liquor? ”

Zhao Lao waved his hand, ignoring the ridicule of this virtuous brother, and sighed: "No, no, I can't accompany you to drink like this!" ”

Xu Fengzhi scolded, "You crazy person, you're joking with Brother Zhao again!" ”

Zhao Lao laughed and said: "Dafa has always been like this, if he is not like this, then I really don't fit in!" ”

Mo Da smiled, then turned his head to Xiao Yu and said, "Then trouble the young man to have two pots of sake!" ”

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and said Okay, you wait!

After a while, Xiao Yu came back with wine, and according to what Brother Wang said, pour wine for the guests before talking.

"I don't know what the guests are going to order?" Xiao Yu poured the wine and asked.

"Brother Zhao needs something to eat?" Xu Fengzhi asked.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter what you eat!" Zhao Lao waved his hand and said casually.

"Oh, don't grind, boy, you can just have three specialty dishes!" Mo Dafa doesn't like such a mother-in-law, and he can't bear it.

The other two old men shook their heads and smiled bitterly, this madman is really true!

"By the way, what are you two looking for me to come out for today?"

"I don't think you two came out with me today just to drink and chat!"

Zhao Lao drank a glass of sake, and suddenly changed his words, and looked at the two old men in front of him who were slightly ten years younger than him.

Mo Dafa gave Xu Fengzhi a look, what you called, you can say it yourself.

Xu Fengzhi first poured a glass of sake for Zhao Lao, handed it to him, and then watched the old brother, who was ten years older than them, raise his glass and drink it, and the cup bottomed out, just as heroic and dry as when they first met.

"Brother Zhao's drinking momentum, I really can't learn it for the rest of my life!" Mo Dafa sighed.

Zhao Lao smiled.

"Brother Zhao, it's a pity that you didn't come to the Danqing Conference last time!" Xu Fengzhi poured another glass, only to see Zhao Lao waving his hand, talking first and then drinking.

"Danqing Conference or something, people don't want to move around when they're old!" Zhao Lao sighed and said, "But I heard that He Lao went?" ”

The other two nodded.

"Alas, these people are almost a hundred years old, how can they still blindly mix with the affairs of these young people, if there is something good and bad in the world, who can afford this!"

"This Hongyan is real, and I don't know how to take it easy!"

Zhao Lao felt sorry for He Lao, no matter how he said it, he could be regarded as his own leader back then, but he didn't expect that he would be about to be a hundred years old in the blink of an eye.

I don't know how many times we'll see each other in the future!

Mo Dafa and Xu Fengzhi glanced at each other and showed a wry smile.

"What did you just say?" Zhao Lao forgot something, and suddenly came to such a sentence.

"After the conference, Hongyan showed us a painting!" When Xu Fengzhi said it, he seemed to be still reminiscing about the charm of that painting.

Zhao Lao said disapprovingly: "What should I do, it's worth your way to come to this North Town to call me out!" ”

Mo Dafa, a madman who has always been known for his unruliness, changed his serious look at this time, and he said: "I have also seen this painting, extraordinary!" ”

Seeing Mo Dafa's sudden appearance, Zhao Lao became interested and asked, "What kind of extraordinary law?" ”

"This is the second time I've seen this painting, and the first time it's the one in Kyoto!" Xu Fengzhi looked in reverence, and he said it very seriously.

"What about the paintings?" Zhao Lao, who was originally quite serious, was suddenly moved.

"At Hongyan!" Mo Dafa said hehehe.

Zhao Lao's face turned dark, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was almost about to scold.

"Hongyan just showed us a look and took it back, and we didn't think about it so much at the time, so we didn't care!" Xu Fengzhi said embarrassedly.

These two old men, who add up to double armor, scratched their heads at the same time in front of Brother Zhao in their mouths, and they were really embarrassed.

"Guest officer, the specialty dish you want is here!"

Just as the three of them were drinking and chatting, Xiao Yu came over with two or three plates of Li Zhuzhu's specialty dishes.

Xiaoyu placed them one by one, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pour good wine for the three of them.

The three of them nodded with satisfaction, ate a few bites, and then Mo Dafa said: "I thought that the shop was small and had no expectations, but I didn't expect the service and specialty dishes of this Hehuan Inn to be so delicious, not losing to those famous chefs at all!" ”

Xu Fengzhi also took a few sips when he heard this, and he was also generally admired.

"Don't interrupt me, you two, since you said it, then you have to bring this painting to me and take a look!" Zhao Lao pretended to be unhappy and said.

Mo Dafa made a few hehes, raised his wine glass to toast, he said with a hippie smile: "Brother Zhao, the matter of painting is not so important, in fact, Feng Zhi and I miss you, and I want to hear a few words from my brother!" ”

Xu Fengzhi squinted, his old face flushed for no reason, and he couldn't help but glance at Mo Dafa, good boy, he has no face to this extent!

It seems to be a joke that is out of tune, but there is at least eighty percent sincerity in the words, but he also knows that this brother of his, the only one who can convince him in the world is Zhao Lao in front of him and He Lao, who is almost a hundred years old, and in addition, there is really no one who can make him take it seriously.

The world says I'm crazy, but they're just not worth it!

Xu Fengzhi raised his wine glass and said the same: "Brother, our brothers toast you!" ”

Xu Fengzhi and Mo Dafa drank it all at the same time.

"Okay, okay, you two don't bother the old man!" There were some tears in Zhao Lao's eyes, and he suddenly remembered that when the two of them toasted him for the first time, they had just passed the crown ceremony.

has been dreaming for half a lifetime, and now their sideburns are like snow.

"Our generation, there are not a few people left, most of them have already entered the ground, and those who are hard-pressed can still eat a few more meals, and the slightly worse ones are also in the state of old age!"

"Twenty years to produce a character, now is the era of Hongyan, but..."

When Zhao Lao thought of these generations in this Gucheng, he suddenly sighed, but this last sentence was not spoken.

Xu Fengzhi and Mo Dafa were suddenly silent, of course the two understood what Zhao Lao meant, after Hongyan, I'm afraid no one will come to provoke this big beam!

"Oh, come on, come on, drink and drink, how can there be so much to think about, this saying and what children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, what are we doing with so many old bones!" Mo Dafa forked.

Satiated.

"Send me back, I've been out for a long time, and I'm tired!" Zhao Lao picked up the crutches leaning against the table and stood up.

The other two old men also stood up, and one of them, the old man Xu Fengzhi, took the first step forward to pay, because he knew that with Zhao Lao's character, he would never let his two younger brothers pay the bill.

"A tael of silver!" Han Limo raised his head and smiled.

Xu Fengzhi untied the money bag from his waist, took out the silver, and Han Limo took it.

Looking at this face, the old man froze for a moment.

Han Limo nodded slightly.

"I remember you!" Xu Fengzhi said suddenly.

"I also remember the shopkeeper below!" Han Limo smiled.

Xu Fengzhi nodded, stroked his white beard, this young man is really the second child of the inn!

It's really condescending!

"Let's go! Let's go! How do you grind and chirp! Mo Dafa stood at the door and said impatiently inside.

"Alright, you madman, what's the hurry!" Xu Fengzhi pursed his lips.

"That young man, the old man will go first! See you next time! Xu Fengzhi laughed, and then turned around and went out.

"You madman, what's the hurry!" Xu Fengzhi scolded.

"Send me home!" Zhao Lao took the first step on crutches, and didn't care about the two people behind.

"Limo, come to the backyard!" Suddenly, there was a call in the backyard, and the sound was not small, and everyone present could hear it.

"It's coming!" Han Limo replied.

The two old men who had just walked down the steps of the inn suddenly turned their heads and looked at each other in shock.

"Did you hear his name?" Mo Dafa asked in a daze.

Xu Fengzhi looked at the inn again, and replied with some incredulity: "I heard it, Limo!" ”

"Brother Zhao, don't leave yet, come back quickly!" Mo Dafa chased after him and brought the old brother back.

Then the three of them entered the Hehuan Inn again.
