The town is not big, and there are only two hotels in the whole town. The hotel was already full, so Wang Biao found the "Rulai Inn", and chartered the entire hotel, instructed the store to make wine and food immediately, tidy up the room, and then send someone to greet Wang Laohu and the others.

Wang Laohu and the others soon arrived at the inn, the inn in the small town is not as good as the inn in the county seat, and the conditions are relatively simple. Wang Biao arranged for people to move all the bride price in the car into the house, and the horses were fed by the people in the inn. More than 30 people, except for four family members who were in charge of guarding the bride price, the others arranged to gather in the hall and divided into seven tables for dinner.

The inn was run by a woman, estimated to be in her thirties, dressed in fancy fashion. She knew that the group in front of her was not ordinary guests, so she personally stepped forward to toast everyone. The Wang family has a rule that when going out to do errands, Ding guards and others are not allowed to drink, including Wang Biao.

The woman walked up to a table, raised her glass and shouted, "Brothers, come and have a toast." ”

"Okay, okay." The little brothers raised their bowls one after another.

"That's not right, how many of you are bullying the old lady and not knowing how to drink? You think women don't drink alcohol, you see, this is authentic winter brew. How do you drink water from a few big men? Come on, change it!" The woman said loudly with her wine glass.

Someone at the table said, "It's not that we don't drink, it's that we can't drink." ”

"Where are there so many rules? When you go out, what rules do you still follow? The woman said reluctantly.

"I said auntie, spare us, we really can't drink."

The woman toasted three tables in a row, but no one toasted her. "It's strange, so many men don't dare to drink, it's not as good as a woman's family. Do you have any men here? ”

"The shopkeeper speaks straightforwardly and boldly, since you are so Yaxing, let me drink with you, how about it?" Wang Laohu stood up, raised his glass and saluted the woman.

"Finally a man." The woman held a flask in one hand and a glass in the other, twisting her waist and slowly moving over. She didn't sit down, but stepped on the stool with one foot, took a cup in one hand, and said to Wang Laohu: "You are a man, dry this glass of wine." ”

Wang Laohu drank it all: "This wine is good." ”

The woman also drank the wine in one gulp. "I said big brother, my wine has been stored for thirty years in winter, and today a distinguished guest came, and it was opened."

"Thanks to the shopkeeper, I can't afford to drink this wine." Wang Laohu looked at the woman in front of him carefully, although this woman is about thirty people, her skin is still good, delicate and durable, although her appearance is not as good as Xu Wan, but she is also a beautiful embryo, and her figure is full of charm.

After a glass of wine, the woman sat down opposite Wang Laohu. This table was originally Wang Laohu alone, and it was a little lonely to drink alone, but now someone is drinking with him, which is also a good thing.

Wang Biao, who was at the side table, saw that the shopkeeper was sitting at the Gongzi table and wanted to stand up, but Wang Laohu waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"This boy doesn't look like an ordinary person!"

"How so?"

"Just look at this pomp and circumstance, my little shop hasn't received people like you for a long time."

"Nothing can escape your eyes." Wang Laohu said, "I salute you with this cup." Wang Laohu filled his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Happy." The woman did it too.

"The dish you want is here" Xiao Er shouted, and saw a few Xiao Er bring out plates of steaming dishes and distribute them on each table.

"Childe, where are you going to do this?"

"I'm going to Hoi An"

"Hoi An, Hoi An will pass here early tomorrow morning, and it is estimated that it will be half a day's journey to the county seat."

"Shopkeeper, this inn has been open for a few years, right?"

"Not long, not long, I've only been in charge of this store for three years."

"I don't think this town is huge."

"Childe, of course our town is not as big as the county seat, we are here at the junction of two counties, the personnel are more complicated, and Childe has brought so many things, but you have to be careful."

"The shopkeeper is straightforward and warm-hearted, thanks for mentioning it. For your words, I will drink this wine too. Wang Laohu made another glass of wine.

"Childe turned out to be a wine jar, happy! It's been a long time since I've booze like today. The woman said.

"The dish is here again." Xiao Er took the tray and served two more dishes on each table. One plate is the meat stewed with oil. I didn't expect this dish to be available in this town.

"You're from the county seat, you should know this dish, right?" The woman said.

"No one knows this dish in this county." Wang Laohu said deliberately.

"I said that Wang Laohu in this county town is really powerful, a small bean, he just made so many things for him. How about you taste it? ”

Wang Laohu tasted it, "It tastes good." After chewing for a while, he added, "If you add cinnamon, sunflower fragrance, and sprinkling in the process of stewing, the taste may be more fragrant if you stew it for a longer time." ”

"Sure enough, people from the county seat can eat tricks in one bite. Next time, do as you say. The woman continued, "Do you know that Wang Laohu? ”

Wang Laohu smiled slightly, "He is so famous in the county, who doesn't know him, but he doesn't know me." ”

"Childe also looks like a rich family, not much different from that Wang Laohu."

"There are many rich families in the county, but I am the one at the bottom."

"Haha, Gongzi turned out to be a modest person, really, then tell me, whether the king tiger is a three-headed and six-armed person."

"Not only three heads and six arms, but also seven heads and eight arms! Shopkeeper, you inquired so carefully, but why? Wang Laohu said.

"Childe turned out to be not real. Who has the leisure to inquire about him, although we are a small town here, but anyone who comes to stay in the hotel, this oil curd is a must-serve dish for guests, everyone says that this dish tastes good, I want to know, why is this Wang Lao Tiger so powerful! ”

"I have some friendship with this Wang Laohu, so next time, if you report my name, maybe you can get Wanchunfang's tofu products cheaply."

"If that's the case, it's really the best, although our store is small, it's not as good as other Wanchunfang, so we can save a lot of money. I'm thanking Childe, I don't know what to call Childe? ”

"I also have the surname Wang, and I am also considered to be the family with that Wang Laohu, and the single name is a biao character." Wang Laohu said.

Wang Biao, who was at the adjacent table, heard Wang Laohu pretending to be himself, and he laughed secretly in his heart.

"Okay, Brother Wang Biao, I'll toast you again," the two knocked down their glasses and drank them together.

This woman is a bold person, Wang Laohu secretly thought.

"Wang Gongzi, I heard that there is a clothing store in the county, which was also opened by Wang Laohu, and the clothes in it are very good-looking, is it true?"

"Where did you hear that? Shopkeeper, you know a lot of news."

"There are a lot of people coming and going here, and the news is also mixed, and people who come back from the county town say that the clothes are very expensive."

"It's true, but you may not be wearing these outfits." Most of the clothes in Wang Laohu's store are designed for those ladies, and the woman in front of her obviously does not belong to this kind.

"I don't dare to be interested in clothing, so I asked, come, let's do it again."

Another glass of wine fell to the stomach.

"I heard that this inn is no longer in business?" Suddenly, there was a loud sound outside the door. Looking from afar, I saw three or five people entering the store from outside the door. The shopkeeper immediately stepped forward to greet him and explained the reason.

"What, the store has given customers an all-inclusive package?" The man's voice was louder. "They're guests, we're guests, why can't we live when they can stay?" There is a great refusal to let go in the words.

As soon as the woman saw such a guest coming, she immediately stood up from Wang Laohu's table and greeted her, "Big brother, don't be so angry, if there is business to do, how can we not do it?" It's just that today's store is all for this prince. ”

"There are guests coming and going, there are only two hotels in your town, and the other one is full, and your house doesn't accept it, do you want us to sleep on the road?"

"Big brother, if it's in normal times, the small shop really doesn't have such a good business. It's just that there are more people who come to this prince, so he booked a small shop, or you can take a look at that one. ”

The person at the bottom said, "It's already full, and if you turn back, you'll run empty." ”

Wang Laohu saw at a glance that these people were led by a bearded man, holding a big knife in his hand, and wearing a black open-breasted shirt. The two people who followed him were mediocre. There was also a young man with a bow and arrows on his back, and dozens of arrows were stuck in his quiver. The last person is a person with long eyebrows and clear eyes, white and quiet, like a scholar.
