Chapter 5: Finding Out the Fruitless Son (Fifth Update)
It didn't take too long for two people to come in front of the door, the first was a woman, and the man behind him was naturally the man.
"Find a room on the second floor, you have to be able to see the outside view." The woman casually gave the man a dozen copper coins, which were strung with ropes, and it seemed that they had already been prepared.
The guy smiled happily, but said to the two people: "Two guest officers, there is no place upstairs, they are all occupied, it is better to eat some on the first floor." ”
As he spoke, he seemed a little unwilling, and he wanted to return the money in his hand, which means that you two can skip meals, and if you want to eat, it's on the first floor.
The woman's willow eyebrows furrowed, then stretched out again, and said with a smile: "It's okay, report all the good dishes of yours in the water and clouds, and see which one to order." ”
"Guest officer, there is a menu in the restaurant, you look so good, go to the back kitchen and let the master make it." The guy came up with a menu half an inch thick like a trick, and thanks to this thing, otherwise he would have been exhausted by the name of the dish in the same way.
The man and woman didn't expect that Shuiyunjian Restaurant would have such preparations, and the woman said again: "But neither of us knows how to read, what do you say?" ”
"What the guest officer said is, there are indeed people who are illiterate, it doesn't matter, there is a picture on this menu, you can know it at a glance, if you think it's good, you want to ask, and the little one will naturally tell you about it." The guy is admiring the little boy more and more, and he even takes this into account.
The woman and the man found a place to sit down, opened the menu and looked at it, and felt a little wrong at a glance, the price of these dishes was not less than five taels of silver, from beginning to end, the most expensive one was tattooed three hundred taels of silver, and the cheapest one was exactly five taels of silver, which was not something that ordinary people could afford.
The man looked at the most expensive dish in a daze, and the woman closed the menu and said to the guy: "Isn't everything in your restaurant so expensive?" ”
As soon as she said it, she regretted it, just now she said that she didn't know how to read, and now she said that the price is high, and the price can be written on it, without drawing.
The guy hurriedly made a panicked look, nodded and bent down to compensate, "Two guest officers, forgive me, it's all small and bad, take the wrong menu, this menu is for distinguished guests to order, the small one will go to the two of you to replace it with a cheap one, the cheapest bowl of soup is only a penny, that taste is good, just suitable for people like you two." ”
When the man said this, his voice was relatively loud, not only the man and woman understood it, but the other people who were eating around also heard it, and they all turned their heads to look at the two people, and some even had a look of disdain in their eyes, and some even whispered to their companions on the side:
"Do you want to go up to the second floor like this? Look at the dress is not bad, I thought it was a rich man, but I didn't expect it to be pretended, Ming'er I took out the clothes I wore during the New Year, pretending. ”
When the man and the woman heard this, their faces immediately turned ugly, and the woman snatched the menu from the man's hand, flipped through it, and said to the man, "Do you not understand people's words?" I'm asking you, the food on this is so expensive, is it really that delicious? If it's not delicious, don't blame me for smashing you. ”
"Guest, you are embarrassed to be small, where do you know if the small one is delicious, this person has a taste, it is difficult to adjust, you eat it and think it is good, it is delicious, if you eat it is not good, it is naturally not delicious, just as someone is willing to eat the onions, ginger and garlic, put more people think it is good, and vice versa."
Dude is not fooled at all, is it delicious or not, and it is not based on other people's mouths? Even if it's delicious, but you just talk nonsense with your eyes open, how can you help others?
"Well, let's serve these four dishes, and this soup, and warm two pots of wine." The woman ordered a few times on the menu at will, and she didn't care too much with the guy, this time she came to inquire about things, and she didn't ask much about it in that Zhuangzi, and the little baby went to school and stopped one casually, and the eyes of the two of them were full of vigilance.
I wanted to ask the master, but I was also sent out by the master, and I didn't understand anything, which made the two of them feel very frustrated.
When the men came to the back to pass the food, the two of them began to listen carefully, trying to get some information about the Zhuangzi of the Zhang and Wang families from the words of these people, but the dishes they listened to came up, and they didn't hear anything useful, only that there was a market here, and the crops were dry elsewhere this year, and they were growing well here.
The two of them had already known these two things, and when they came, they saw those things in the field, which were not only good, but also very good, but these things were far from satisfying the Prime Minister.
The two of them looked at each other and decided to ask someone, and when they set their eyes on a certain table, they found that the people at the table always did not avoid them a little, and did not mean to talk to them at all.
They also understand that this is all because the food they ordered is too expensive, and people feel that they can't talk to such people, and if they say it wrong, it is easy to get into trouble.
The two of them looked around, and finally found that there were two children of three or four years old sitting there drinking tea, and when they were surprised, they also had some ideas.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't know that others estimated the age of the two of them, and they were drinking it there with nothing to do, and the temperature of the tea was obviously not enough, and they didn't say that they poured it and asked people to add water.
The woman looked at Zhang Xiaobao here, and felt that people drank tea, and it didn't seem good to serve the dishes over, and the little baby who could go to this place to drink tea might have a few spare money at home, and then look at the clothes worn by the two children, and finally understood that it was not as simple as a little spare money, just this dress cost dozens of taels of silver.
Thinking of this, she glanced at the man and asked him to stay here and continue eating, while she leaned over to talk to the two children and ask about something, and the children in the rich and noble family should know more than others.
As soon as she stood up and took two steps towards that side, six or seven people suddenly stood up in the hall on the first floor, looking at her vigilantly, and at the same time, two men also came over, one stood at the two children, and the other stopped in front of her slightly, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, is there anything to let the little one do?" ”
This time, she and the man finally found out that something was wrong, it was nothing more than to get over to get there, she was still a woman, and the people in this restaurant reacted too much, right? There is such an evil cry, which is similar to when I entered Zhuangzi just now.
Looking at the guy's inquiring eyes and the intention of not retreating, the woman smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just a family of these two children who are likable, and I want to go over and talk." ”
"Oh, this...... The child is small, ignorant, and not very bold, and if he is scared, it will be ...... If you want to go there, then go there. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly changed his mind and gave way of his position, while the other man did not move, still standing beside the table, and set up a chair there for the woman to sit on.
The other people who stood up saw the guy like this, and they all sat back, but the guy was still a little worried, just now when he spoke, he glanced at the little boy, and saw the little boy nodding slightly, so he had to get out of the way.
The woman didn't know about this, and the sight of her and the man was blocked by the man, and when she saw that it was okay to pass, she tried to make the smile on her face as friendly as possible, and sat down in a chair and looked at the two children who were looking at her curiously together.
The woman smiled at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and Zhang Xiaobao and the two also returned an innocent smile, chubby, with long eyelashes and big eyes, anyone who saw it wanted to kiss them.
"Tell my sister, how old are they?" The woman lowered her rank and asked softly.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan blinked, took their little hands in front of them, counted carefully, counted for a while, stretched out three fingers, and replied in a low voice: "Three years old." ”
When the woman saw the two children making such cute movements, she stretched out her hand and wanted to hold it in her arms, but the guy standing there suddenly said, "Guest officer, do you want a pot of tea?" ”
This kind of interruption was so obvious that the woman had to resist the impulse in her heart, and asked Zhang Xiaobao and the others, "Little baby, who are there at home?" ”
"Good guys." Wang Juan replied.
"She." Zhang Xiaobao pointed at Wang Juan.
"Good guy, yes, good guy, you two are a family? Really good, tell my sister where you live, okay? The woman didn't ask anything just now, and asked again.
"Live at home." Wang Juan.
"On the collapse." Zhang Xiaobao.
"Well, okay, where is your house?" Woman.
"In the yard." Wang Juan.
"Where?" Zhang Xiaobao asked suspiciously.
"And what are your last names?" The woman tried to keep her breathing as steady as possible.
"What's my last name?" Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao.
"It's not like me." Zhang Xiaobao replied.
The woman felt that she was going crazy, and after asking so many questions, she didn't even ask a useful one.
Just as she was about to continue asking, a child's voice came from the door of the restaurant, "This water and cloud room looks pretty good, buy it for Ben Gongzi, the land of the Zhang family Zhuangzi looks good, also buy it for Ben Gongzi, go, go upstairs to eat first." ”
The voice was not small, and everyone on the first floor looked over there, only to see a man of eleven or twelve years old, dressed in a light blue brocade suit, walking in under the escort of a group of people.
The others didn't know where the child came from, and the tone was not small, but the woman stared at the jade pendant hanging from the child's waist, revealing an inexplicable look.

After I finished writing, I ate and collapsed again, and I felt this way every day after writing.
