Chapter 02

Master, over there, Zhenxianglou!

The little guy saw a three-storey riverside restaurant from afar, and there were many shops in this area, including time-honored grain and oil shops, antique shops, and silk villages.

After visiting the temple fair, the villagers in Yuanxian County went directly here, rested their feet, bought food, and then carried some lamp oil, pulled two pieces of cloth, and carried them in their hands, and then went home happily. [No pop-up novel network]

And the merchants are naturally happy to see that the business is booming, and they have sold goods at discounts, plus the night is not so hot, and there are more people shopping, so the crowd at night is even more congested than the temple fair during the day.

Look, see! Of course, the old man saw the direction that the little guy was pointing, in fact, it was not far, fifty paces away.

However, the sedan chair is like a mountain, thousands of heads are crowded, and the hustle and bustle is boiling, once the lord is mixed into this sea tide, he can't help but go in which direction.

He was caught by two strong men left and right, pushing around in the crowd, feeling that his clothes were torn crookedly, and the little guy was so squeezed that he couldn't stand on tiptoe, and he was so anxious that he screamed for help.

Seeing that the little guy was about to be washed away, the old man stretched out his arm, crossed the person's shoulder, and firmly grabbed the back collar of the little guy.

When they moved to the door of the Zhenxiang Building little by little, they gasped for breath, their heads were covered with hot sweat, and they couldn't even speak.

The guy is not surprised, a voice, guest officer, come, please go inside! He welcomed them to the second floor, by the top of the staircase.

This place is full of people, how can people sit? Do you want my lord to eat? The little servant relieved himself, was very dissatisfied with the seat, and shouted for the shopkeeper to come out.

The shopkeeper is in his forties, well-informed, and everyone who comes is a guest, since the tone of a servant is so big, presumably this master has some family background, so he hurriedly smiled and made compensation, let the shop guy vacate a room with the best scenery, and personally made tea and served it.

After the shopkeeper went down, the first-class dishes were served on the table of eight immortals, a whole plate of stewed wild duck with grass and mushrooms, a plate of braised spiced meat with thin slices, a large bowl of stewed cabbage with bacon slices, and a plate of hibiscus shrimp dumplings, a cage of rose bean paste buns, of course, as the protagonist of the bamboo tube roast chicken, the belly is filled with all kinds of fresh mushrooms, shredded fish, and finally wrapped in bamboo leaves, put into the thick bamboo tube of the bowl, placed in the center of the dining table.

According to the shopkeeper, the dish is slowly baked over a campfire for an hour before it is ready. Therefore, the bamboo tube outside is scorched, and it is almost into bamboo charcoal. The mouth of the tube is sealed with lotus leaves, don't look at the small size of this bamboo tube chicken, but the aroma is enough to overwhelm several other dishes, no wonder everyone is well-known.

What else does the big lord want? The man put the rag on his hand and waited for the order.

Another pot of pear blossom wine, and a pot of daughter red. The mood of the young people is excellent, the food is current, and of course it must be accompanied by good wine.

Okay, here we go. After the men had all the drinks, the old man and the little servant feasted on the beautiful scenery of the brightly lit riverbank outside the window, and ate for an hour.

At the end of the meal, the old man burped contentedly, looking at the plates and dishes that had almost been swept away.

Master, this roast chicken is so delicious, let's pack another one later. The little guy proposed with his mouth full of oil and unfinished thinking.

Okay, let's take one back to the inn and eat. After the young man finished speaking, he stood up and stood by the window, the night breeze was gentle, and he was full of wine and food, was there anything better than this?

Master, are you satisfied with the food? The shopkeeper came, smiling and rubbing his hands.

Satisfied! The young man frequently bowed and greeted him crisply, Xiaode, check out and reward the shopkeeper.

Ouch! Thank you! Hearing that there was still a reward to receive, the shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and thanked him, then turned his face to the little servant, and said flatteringly, little brother, this meal plus two pots of wine is a total of four taels and six yuan.

It's cheap. The little guy's hand stretched out to his waist, didn't touch anything, and then patted his head and said, by the way, master, the money bag is small and you are there.

Am I? The young man was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that in the afternoon they had bought a lot of things, and the little man had to pay for them, and he had to take things, so he took the money bag and said that he would pay the bill himself.

But later, whether he returned the money bag to the little girl, the young man couldn't remember, so he touched his sleeve, and it was empty.

I'll give it back to you, right? The young man asked hesitantly.

No, sir, I saw you in your sleeve pocket. The little guy is categorical.

At this time, the shopkeeper's face was already very ugly, didn't these two come to eat the overlord meal? However, what kind of place is this town incense building? The county grandfather's nurse is the third aunt of the shopkeeper, which is related to the family.

Nonsense, I don't have a copper plate in my sleeve, look at it, are you stuffing it in your bag? On the stool behind the little guy, there were a lot of things they bought, two eagle kites, three Ogiyama God masks, and some children's toys such as empty bamboos, shuttlecocks, and bamboo dragonflies.

Open a few boxes of colored satin brocade, and there are jujube cakes and peach kernel cakes inside, which taste good, but are not worth a few dollars.

Because the young man was generous, he gave a few taels of silver to buy pastries, and the store didn't want to go, so he put it in a brocade box, and at first glance, I don't know what kind of treasure it is.

In all the packages and trouser belts, the little guy rummaged through, but he couldn't find a copper plate, the master and servant, you look at me, I look at you, and I was stunned.

Worst! The money bag was stolen by thieves! The young man shouted, and suddenly he realized!

What the? How was it stolen?! The little guy's eyes widened and he screamed.

On the way to the restaurant. The young man frowned, tried to remember, and gestured with his hand, there were two men, one left and one right, desperately squeezing me, but I didn't expect it to be a thief!

The two of them finished singing the double reed play, right?

Just as they were arguing about when they lost their money bags, the shopkeeper was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, which was even more terrifying than the mask of the god of Ogiyama.

What a double reed, I was stolen by a thief, this is a fact, just more than four taels of money, I can't lie to you! The young man was not pleased, and cried out, "I have silver!"

Where's your money? Hum! Just take a few broken kites, dare to charge the big man, and deceive Lao Tzu, you guys are dead!

The shopkeeper pulled up his sleeves and roared, and the guys heard the news and learned that they were eating an overlord meal, and they were all immediately vicious, and some of them were holding a kitchen knife and were about to cut it.

Master! Be careful! Although the little guy was scared, he also stepped forward, protected the master, clenched his fists and said, you, what do you want to do? Don't mess around! I'm good at kung fu. And my lord, you can't beat it!

Hey? Why can't you fight? When he's the Emperor?! The shopkeeper waved his hand viciously, and a strong man rushed over, took down the little guy in three or two clicks, twisted his arm tightly, and pressed it on the bluestone ground, so painful that the little guy screamed, master! Master! Help me!

Little De! The young man was very anxious and wanted to save people, but there were too many people on the other side, so he stretched out his hand to block a few moves, and then retreated into the corner.

You say it yourself, what to do? The shopkeeper said half-seriously and half-threateningly, do you want us to report to the official? Or do you want to screw this little guy's arm off?! Let's take a look, what happens when you eat an overlord meal?

No, you can't report to the official! The young man said hurriedly. As an emperor, he ate the overlord's meal and was arrested in the official mansion, if this matter spreads, how can the face of the Great Yan Kingdom remain? I really can't go to the government even if I die!

Are you going to break this kid's arm? The shopkeeper smiled and motioned his subordinates to do it!

No, no! Neither is it! The young man hurriedly waved his hand and said, please stop!

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, where are you? The shopkeeper slapped the table and said angrily.

I have another way to pay it back! The young man turned his head and said.

Something else? The shopkeeper thought about it, and said with a smile, did you ask your family to send money?

I'm a foreigner, and my home is so far away that I won't be able to get any money for a while, but ...... I can write and inscribe plaques for you! The young man said, "I guarantee that you will have a prosperous business and a prosperous future of wealth!"

Hahaha. The shopkeeper and his subordinates looked at this young man who was talking wildly, and they were all laughing so hard that they were about to break out, do you think you are Prince Muren? How much is your word worth? Prince Mu Ren's calligraphy and painting are the first in the world, and you can't buy it with a bid of 10,000 gold.

Licentious! You dare to humiliate my master like this, it's a big rebellion! It's the other way around!

Although it was firmly suppressed, the little guy still shouted in his throat, master, ignore them, just let them twist my hand off, hum! For the sake of the master, my head can be cut off!

Having said that, the little guy's legs were trembling, and he was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants, and the young man couldn't really watch the little guy get his arm broken, no matter how he said it, it was just a meal, and it wouldn't kill anyone.

I—I'm done washing the dishes. The young man hurriedly said, wash the dishes, wipe the floor, wipe the stool, I will do as much work as I have to pay off this meal!

Okay, that's a human saying. The shopkeeper was quite crisp this time, signaling his subordinates to let go of the little guy who was screaming wow, and then said while dialing the jade bead abacus he carried with him.

Ergou, Da Liu, you look at them, let them go to the backyard to wash the dishes, dare to be lazy, just whip them! The wage for brushing fifty bowls is one copper coin, four taels and six coins, and after counting the interest, the total is thirty taels, which is about 10,000 bowls, plus the food on weekdays must be deducted, and after six months, you can leave.

What the?! When the little guy heard this, he immediately jumped up, you are blackmailing and bullying people......!

You must know that this meal is worth at most one or two months' wages, and according to the algorithm of the shopkeeper, it is several times more.

Less nonsense! Take it down to work! The shopkeeper shouted with a sideways face, and the two were twisted by arms, escorted, and went downstairs to the backyard.
