Chapter 164: The Black Shop

Qiu Huang Town

This small town is about 180 miles away from Lanzhou, belongs to Gongchang Mansion, and is located in a small place between Lanzhou and Xi'an.

It is about less than three or five miles away from the entrance of the town, and there is a tavern in the east of the village, which is opened by a husband and wife, and what they earn is the tea and small dishes of some merchants and caravans from the Central Plains to the northwest region.

Originally, guarding this road, people could still earn a few silver all year round, and the small life was prosperous.

However, I originally thought that at the end of the year, there would be more people running New Year's goods, and the two of them could save more money.

As soon as the war in the northwest was fought, Lintao Mansion soon fell, and the original trade with the Northwest, Liaodi or the Western Regions was all cut off for a while.

It can be regarded as Huang Tian's wish, and finally they are the only one who has been waiting for more than a month.......... Not to two......... Wrong.......... It's four guests!

The man who was still looking at him just now came back to his senses all of a sudden, picked up his apron and went into the kitchen, while the woman was like an old mother who was soliciting customers in the green building, and greeted her with great enthusiasm.

"Oh, guest officer, come in, come in, it's warm in the house, there's wine and meat!"

These four guests are all riding horses, but they don't seem to be a wave of people, it is estimated that they have all hit here by coincidence.

But the proprietress doesn't care about this, there is no business anyway, there are empty tables in it, and the four of them want to sit alone, and both of them are allowed to keep enough.

The two men who came to the store first seemed to be a master and a servant, the one headed by him was very brightly dressed, and at first glance he was not an ordinary man's brother, and one behind him walked to the front as soon as he entered the store, pulled the chair apart and gently dusted off the dust on it with his sleeve robe, before letting the boy sit down,

Then he turned his head and took out a silver ingot from his arms, knocked it on the table with a "snap", and shouted to the proprietress:

"Shopkeeper, first write warm wine to warm our bodies, and if you have any good wine and food, just say hello."

The proprietress is about to pop out of her eyes, that is, to go through all the wine and meat in their store one by one, I'm afraid it won't cost so much silver, which is almost catching up with their previous half a year's flow.

However, although she was ecstatic in her heart, her face was not too exaggerated, for fear that they would regret it, she quickly put the ingot of silver into her sleeve, and said with a smile on her face: "The two of you sit down for a while, and the good wine and meat will be greeted immediately." ”

Then he turned around, and welcomed the two people in behind him, and found a place by the window to sit down.

If you want to say that I don't know what day it is, the first two don't know whose rich son and brother it is, although the last two are all black and white corsets, but the proprietress who is a woman can see at a glance that these two people are the same as herself.........

It's all women!

"The two sons will take a look at what to bring, all the good wine and meat are complete."

I can see it, but I see it, but I am also the God of Wealth who came to send money, and the proprietress is not stupid, what do you do to expose others for no reason? So the mouth has to be the child's scream,

The woman in black took off a scimitar-like blade from her waist and put it on the table, although the proprietress didn't know the weapon, she could also see that it was not an ordinary product, but it felt as if it was smaller than the ordinary scimitar.

The woman in white sitting opposite her thought for a while and said, "Just give us two bowls of hot soup and a plate of special side dishes." ”

"Gotcha!"

Of course, this table did not take out a silver ingot as the proprietress expected, but the mosquito legs were also meat when the green and yellow were not connected, and she nodded to the two "sons" in response, and walked towards the kitchen.

Besides, the man in the kitchen had a thin towel on his head, and he couldn't tell whether it was white or gray, and his thick right arm was holding a kitchen knife, and he was "dodging" cutting two freshly washed sweet potatoes.

"Boom!"

The proprietress walked up and knocked the ingot of silver heavily on the cutting board, which frightened the man who was chopping vegetables.

"Oh, you scared me, this ........ Where did this come from? ”

The proprietress pointed out with her eyebrows fluttering: "I don't know where I came from, Brother Gongzi, he threw me such an ingot." ”

The man worried: "That's a bad thing, we don't have so much loose silver in the cabinet, how can we find it for others?" ”

"Smack!"

The proprietress slapped the back of the man's head, and said angrily: "Elm head!" At first glance, these two young masters didn't know which big family came out, and maybe they hadn't come to eat in a small shop like ours at all, so they didn't know the price, and what else to look for. ”

"That'........ So what are we going to get for them? We don't have a lot of meat in our store. ”

The proprietress didn't bother to pay attention to her solid-eyed husband, her shrewd little eyes rolled, and she asked quietly: "Master, is there any medicine left of us last time?" ”

When the man heard his mother-in-law mention the word "medicine", his face was panicked, "You......... You mean that sweat pill! ”

The proprietress hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover his mouth, then poked her head out and looked outside, and after confirming that the four people in the hall had not heard, she turned her face and said, "Speak so loudly!" Are you afraid that no one else will be able to hear you? ”

The man lowered his voice again and asked, "What do you want that thing for?" ”

The proprietress opened the door curtain and pointed to a black cloth bag beside the boy outside the door, "See?" Just shoot at the two of them, can there be less treasures in the bag? You make some soup and water to eat, put the sweat medicine into it, and we should be rich today! ”

The man looked at the other two "sons" next to the window, and said worriedly, "Then aren't there two people here?" How are we going to clean up the four big men? ”

"Men are farts, those two are females."

"How do you tell?"

The proprietress put on a steady expression,

"Hmph, I've never seen a male baby look so delicate! It must be two women, and they turned over together, and when the time comes, we will take the silver and go back to our hometown, and when they wake up, we will all go out of Shaanxi. ”

"Will this work? I think we'd better open a good store. ”

The man was obviously still a little hesitant,

"Look at your unproductive appearance, rich and dangerous, open a store and open a store, can you support yourself by opening a store for a lifetime?"

The proprietress was very dissatisfied with her husband's cowardly appearance, and pushed her husband into the kitchen as if there were two money strings hanging in her eyes.

This man can't be his mother-in-law's master, so he can only start to get busy according to what she said...........

The two of them are fast, and they have about a cup of tea, and the two dishes are out of the pot.

The proprietress brought these two dishes over, took out a piece of hemp paper wrapped in white powder from her arms, sprinkled it on top of the two dishes, and then mixed it with chopsticks, until the white powder was completely integrated into the dish, then quickly put away the hemp paper bag, replaced it with a smiling face that thought it could make others like a spring breeze, and lifted the curtain out.

"Two, I'll give you a plate for you to pad first, and there's more later, don't worry."

The first plate was of course served to the two generous young masters, one of the men stared at the dishes, and then seemed to subconsciously make a "please" gesture to the opposite son, and blurted out: "Your Highness, please ........."

As soon as he said it, he realized that he had lost his words, and although he stopped his lips in time, those two words still fell into the ears of the proprietress

The proprietress was about to send the dish to another table with a dish in her hand, but when she heard his voice, she hurriedly turned her head and looked at the two of them with a frightened face.

"Your Highness???

These two words are not put on the mouth, they are hysterically shouted in the heart!

The boy who was sitting opposite hesitated for a moment, then immediately changed to a pretended helpless expression, and explained with a wry smile: "Oh Ah Jin, how many times have I told you, this is not the Dianxia green at the door of our house, this is chrysanthemum, why do you always think about drinking the bitter Dianxia green!" ”

The man who was called Second Brother Jin also hurriedly continued: "Oh oh, look at you, I said that my eyes are getting more and more painful, and I can't see things clearly." ”

After that, he pretended to rub his eyes, but actually looked at the expression of the proprietress with no trace.

The proprietress listened to their words and knew that it was a misunderstanding, so she eased her eyes slightly, and continued to move towards another table, and then stroked her chest as she walked, relieved her breath, and her heart almost scared the old lady to death, money is a good thing, but it is not worth putting your life into it.

"Slow use for two!"

She put the food on the table by the window, and twisted her python waist into the kitchen.

The woman in white was still holding her cheeks, but when she saw the food coming up, her two empty beautiful eyes instantly became radiant, and she picked up the chopsticks to eat.

"Smack!"

But as soon as the tip of her chopsticks touched the fragrant dish, she was caught in the air with chopsticks by the woman in black sitting opposite.

"There's something wrong with this dish!"

The woman in white widened her eyes when she heard this, then looked around, and saw that the two people at the other table were eating fragrantly, so she turned her head and looked at the woman in black puzzled, meaning to ask her if everyone else ate well?

The woman in black didn't answer, just quietly watched everything around her.

The boy at the other table saw that the proprietress walked into the kitchen without any suspicion, so he glanced at Ah Jin on the other side, and said in a low voice: "How many times have I told you, when you come out, you will call me Brother Yi, and I will call you Ah Jin, is it so difficult to change your mouth?" ”

Na Ah Jin lowered his head, with a wrong expression, and said writhingly: "Yi....... Brother Yi. ”

After he finished speaking, both of them couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After laughing for a long time, the boy knocked on the table with chopsticks, stopped the laughter of the two, and asked Ah Jin: "Don't laugh, ask a serious matter, how far are we from Lanzhou now?" ”

Ah Jin sent the food in his mouth down his throat before he spoke: "I have already asked in the morning, from here one hundred and thirty miles northwest is Lanzhou, according to our footsteps, we can probably arrive tonight." ”

The boy nodded, "Okay, then let's finish eating and then hurry, after this town, there will be no place to rest, so let's rush to Lanzhou in one go." ”

"Hmm!"

Ah Jin nodded cooperatively.

Two of you, one chopstick, one chopstick, one chopstick, I finished eating the only dish, just wanted to shout why the proprietress didn't serve the wine, and suddenly felt a dizziness,

"Ah Jin, you ....... Dizziness? ”

The boy raised his head and saw that Ah Jin was also holding his forehead, frowning,

"I ...... Aren't we too tired to rush, I ....... How do I ....... I think it's a bit ........ Sleepy. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Jin's head slapped on the table with a "bang".

"What's wrong with you?"

Brother Gongzi is no exception, the two eyelids can no longer support the surging sleepiness that swells like a tide,

"This dish .........."

Like Ah Jin, his head tilted back and there was no sound..........
