On Wenhou Street in Yecheng, there are many restaurants on both sides, flags and curtains are displayed, and the fragrance of food and wine wafts out from time to time.

When Yuan Xi and Zhao Yun arrived, the brothers of the people's army had already arrived, and more than 100 people blocked the road, causing passers-by to look sideways. The people who come here to eat are generally dignitaries and nobles, big businessmen, and even the restaurant owner has never seen so many rough and rude soldiers so boldly want to charter a whole restaurant.

The owner of Qunying Building is a middle-aged man with a thin beard and white face, wearing a blue dress, shrewd inside and out, and speaking softly and softly, very kindly. Seeing the arrival of Yuan Xi, who could speak, he cried bitterly: "This lord, your subordinates have blocked the door of my restaurant, how can I do business." ”

Yuan Xi said: "You don't have to do other people's business, I will take care of this restaurant today." There are a total of ten tables, and although the dishes are served, the portion must be enough, and the wine should be brought quickly. Today, my son invited guests to dinner, and asked your chef to cheer up and make a few more specialty dishes. ”

He said as he walked inside. The platoon leader and squad leader of the People's Army behind him also rushed in with their own people, and although they were excited, they were still very disciplined. The boss had no choice but to get out of the way and quickly ordered the back kitchen to open the fire.

Many people are still on such a high-end restaurant for the first time, the Qunying Building has two floors, above is the elegant seat, of which the second floor sits on the street, can overlook the distance, the eaves of the rows of houses in the city are in full view, and the lights are clear at a glance. Although the cold wind was blowing, the charcoal was burning in the room, and the heating was leaking out for a while, so I didn't feel the cold at all.

Yuan Xi and the others were invited upstairs, only to find that this place is not divided by a few people sitting at a table, but a small case for each person, around a big ding, a pot of water is boiling on the big ding, and the ingredients will be in this ding later, and everyone will share and eat it. It's like eating hot pot. Lu Fang, Lu Da, Gao Mian and the other three are now like the core, and they are close in front of him, and Zhao Yun and Xu Dayan and several other platoon commanders are also sitting together.

Yuan Xi instructed: "Although I am happy today, in order to prevent trouble after drinking, the platoon commander and above, including the company commander and the company instructor, are not allowed to drink." If someone makes a disturbance due to drunkenness and smashes the property of the restaurant, the squad leader and platoon leader shall be responsible for compensating the restaurant for the loss. ”

Xu Dayan immediately said with a bitter face: "Can't you take a bite?" ”

This greedy cup finally got out of the barracks and was able to have a cup to satisfy his hunger, but he didn't expect to be given such a cruel order.

Yuan Xi said: "No, as a cadre, you must always be vigilant and restrain your subordinates. Alcohol can be disorderly, if you take the lead in getting drunk, how can you make your subordinates obey the rules? Don't forget, the military discipline of our people's army must not harass the people. ”

It doesn't matter if Lu Fang and the others drink or not, and Zhao Yun is also a person with strong self-control, so everyone at the table, except for Xu Dayan, feels that they are okay.

In the blink of an eye, all kinds of chicken, duck, fish, wild vegetables and mushrooms were thrown into Dading. At this time, the so-called specialties were nothing more than some wild vegetables and meat. Yuan Xi was used to eating delicate snacks, and when he looked at it, he felt that he had no appetite, so he reluctantly ate two chopsticks. And Xu Dayan and the others ate happily, not to mention him, just this meat, how can they have a chance to eat it.

After a while, the things in the big ding were swept away.

The atmosphere downstairs is also very warm, each row and each class pushes cups and changes lamps, telling their respective friendships, especially in the face of Bai Ma Yicong's experience, in order to raise his weight, he deliberately said how powerful Bai Ma Yicong is. A few Youzhou soldiers recounted the experience of the great war and their admiration for the first camp. In short, it's about touting each other.

The restaurant owner heard the smell and guessed who the person in front of him was. He hurriedly went to Yuan Xi and said, "My lord, there are clever musicians and singers in our restaurant, do you want to give a performance to the adults?" ”

Lu Fang and the others couldn't help but light up in their eyes, at this time they were a little tired of just eating, and it was obviously a pleasure to have some silk and bamboo music. But unexpectedly, Yuan Xi refused without thinking about it, and said: "The voice of dogs and horses does not conform to the style of our people's army." ”

Lu Fang and the others immediately lowered their eyebrows, but they didn't dare to object.

After a while, a person came up downstairs, it was Li Ping, the squad leader of a row and a smiling face. Li Ping held the wine glass and walked up slowly, wanting to push the glass with Yuan Xi to change the glass. I thought that everyone was an old friend, and the second son should also be sold to face, but I didn't expect it to be rejected.

Yuan Xi straightened his back and said, "I want to lead by example, if I say that if I don't drink, I can't drink." ”

Li Ping whispered: "The brothers plan to go to Yuxiangchun next door for a visit, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Yu Xiangchun?"

"It's a brothel......" Lu Fang explained next to him. Several people around had a knowing smile on their faces, and there were few men in the barracks who were not good at this.

"No way!"

Everyone's smiles froze on their faces.

Yuan Xi said: "Our people's army can't take a stitch from the people, do you still go to prostitute the people's daughters?" ”

Li Ping was stunned and said, "This ......"

Xu grinned at him with big eyes. Xu Dayan is good at wine, this Li Ping is lustful, Xu Dayan can't drink wine himself, and when he saw that Li Ping couldn't get his wish, he gloated.

Lu Fang said: "Second son, this erotic temperament, don't let the people below vent, I'm afraid it will affect morale." ”

Yuan Xi said: "It's all holding back, and if it affects morale, it will affect morale." Discipline is to be strict, thousands of miles of embankment is destroyed in the anthill, every small relaxation, in the end is the source of loose discipline. Can't ** this sentence, also written in the military discipline, whoever violates it, will be automatically expelled. ”

After a while, he said to Lu Fang: "As an instructor, you also have to explain the matter of the soldiers starting a family as soon as possible." ”

Lu Fang spread his hands with a bitter face and said, "How can I show up here?" I haven't started a family yet. ”

Yuan Xi said: "I'll go back to Yuan Fu, have a blind date, and pair up freely." Solve everyone's difficulties first. ”

Lu Fang only felt that the pressure on his shoulders was extremely great, and all kinds of affairs were disturbed, and he had to solve them by himself, and the position of this instructor was simply not done by people. For example, Zhao Yun, the company commander, is obviously idle all day. Alas, how can the gap be so big.

After a while, the meal was almost eaten, the wine was almost drunk, and everyone was drunk. And the people around Yuan Xi couldn't stop hiccups.

Yuan Xi said: "Since it's almost over, let's go back to the barracks to sleep." ”

Everyone felt that they were a little unsatisfied, full of wine and food, and they were always eager to do something, but these roads were blocked by Yuan Xi. The thought of going back to sleep in the cold tent made me feel very uncomfortable.

A group of people walked out of the restaurant, and were blown by the cold wind, and suddenly they were full of excitement and cleared up a lot.

Yuan Xi went downstairs and walked to the door, but was stopped by the restaurant owner.

The boss had a smile on his face: "This lord, a total of four sheep, two cows, sixteen chickens, ten fish, and a number of buckets of wine, a total of four thousand three hundred and fifty-six yuan." ”

Yuan Xi saw him spitting and knew what he meant, so he said, "Do you mean the money for food?" Just take credit first, you wait for the end of the month to find the Yuan Mansion to finish. ”

The owner of the restaurant pulled Yuan Xi's hand tightly, and hurriedly said: "This restaurant is a small business...... This...... You can't take it on credit......"

Yuan Xi was a little impatient, thinking that this person would have to report even a fraction, and he would not even give himself face. So he said: "I asked someone before I came out, your group of Yinglou is on credit, and the third Yuan Shang came here to eat last month on credit." Why can't I take credit when I touch me? I am Yuan Xi, the second son of the Yuan Mansion, you just sign up, and all the expenses go to the chief housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion to go. ”

The restaurant owner still refused to let go of him, and said with a smile: "Second son, this is a new rule, you used to be able to pay on credit, but now you can't take credit, you must settle it on the spot." Thank you for your understanding. ”

The guys in a few restaurants behind him saw someone eating the overlord meal, and surrounded him angrily.

When several drunken and hot-headed people saw that this hateful profiteer was pestering Yuan Xi and refused to let him go, they clamored for him to be released. Xu Dayan didn't drink anything, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, so he grabbed a guy nearby.

"Stop!"

"Stop—"

Yuan Xigang shouted "stop", and someone in the shadows in the distance shouted "stop", he turned his head to look, only to see a team of figures rushing over. When I got to the firelight, I took a closer look, and it was actually the trial I had encountered during the day.

After Yuan Shang's northern expedition, he was assigned to be responsible for the guard of Yecheng, including not only the defense of the city gate, but also the security of the city. Therefore, it makes sense that he would patrol the streets with a team of officials.

"What's going on?"

The judge tightened his face, his eyes were wide open, and he separated Xu Dayan and the restaurant guy and others, glaring at the restaurant owner and Yuan Xi.
