Chapter 701: The Inn (71)
Shopkeeper Fu spoke, and turned his head away. Qian Xiwu didn't know how he spoke, maybe he offended the shopkeeper Fu by speaking, or maybe the shopkeeper Fu was in a bad mood.
"What?" Qian Xiwu looked at the shopkeeper Fu.
The shopkeeper looked up with his back hand and looked at the two-story slab. His ears were listening to the housekeeper worker, and he didn't want to speak anymore. Think about it and say, "When doing business, you have to say auspicious words." ”
"Auspicious?" Qian Xiwu listened to it and thought about it.
"To do business, you have to be auspicious, and whatever you say must be said for the better. After a while, I went outside to ring the gong to solicit guests, and the inn was bound to be overcrowded. "The shopkeeper Fu is saying that he is making his inn prosperous.
At this time, there was not a single guest in the inn restaurant, and he listened to the shopkeeper Fu. Qianxi Wudao: "Overcrowded!" You think it's good, huh? ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was not in a good mood for this housekeeper worker. He solicited guests to speak auspicious words, and when the housekeeper worker spoke, he gave himself a stick on the head. Shopkeeper Fu squinted at him and shook his head, unwilling to deal with the housekeeper.
The stone shook the sky and said: "After a while, the shopkeeper will beat the gong, and many guests will come." He spoke, snorting melon seeds.
The housekeeper worker spoke, and the shopkeeper Fu smiled when he heard it, turned to face the housekeeper worker, and said with a smile: "Oh, what you said is right, I will knock on the gong in a while, and a room of people will come." ”
A room full of people and rocks felt a bit too much, but he wouldn't say it, he only smiled at the shopkeeper Fu. This housekeeper worker is good, understands things, and is also a person who understands. The shopkeeper Fu said: "This brother is okay in business. ”
Shi Jingtian listened, hugged his fist to the shopkeeper Fu, and said with a smile on his face: "The shopkeeper praises." ”
The housekeeper worker clenched his fists, and the shopkeeper Fu cupped his fists and saluted back: "Oh, hehe, polite." The two of them bowed and put down their hands. The housekeeper worker was polite and could speak, and he wanted to order a pot of tea for the housekeeper worker when he was happy, but he stopped suddenly. I am a businessman, everything is based on profit, and a pot of tea is also money, and I can't give it indiscriminately. He did not speak, but hid his words.
Shi Jingtian saw the change in the face of the shopkeeper Fu, he didn't think of anything, grabbed the melon seeds and swallowed it.
There are still no guests in the inn, whether it is the restaurant or the upstairs rooms. A big pot full of soup has to be stewed again, and the soup has to be stewed for a while to be delicious. Shopkeeper Fu looked down and took two steps.
The restaurant is still so quiet, only the sound of swallowing melon seeds, not only the restaurant, but also the crisp sound of biting the skin of melon seeds in the kitchen.
The shopkeeper looked out the door, but there was no one outside the door. He looked, and there was not even a single passer-by. "Why are there so few people?" The shopkeeper couldn't help but read the sentence in his heart.
There are few people, I don't know how many people will come when the gong is struck in a while, but on this day, the sky is still bright. The sun was already behind the mountain, and the shopkeeper thought that when the sky was still bright, he would go outside and strike the gong.
Time waits for no one, the shopkeeper Fu thought, did not wait for the soup to be stewed, and when the soup was about to be stewed, he struck the gong. This time difference needs to be found well, when the soup is about to be stewed, when the sky is still bright. Shopkeeper Fu looked at the sky and was anxious, he looked at the kitchen, thinking that the soup should be stewed faster.
The shopkeeper knows how to stew the soup to be delicious, and it can't be rushed too quickly. Cooking is a matter of time. The shopkeeper Fu didn't rush it, but was in a hurry.
There are guests in the inn every day, and the restaurant has no guests at this time, only temporarily. The shopkeeper knows this. Even so, he was anxious when he didn't see any guests coming to the inn.
The inn has brick walls and wooden planks. The second-floor slab of the inn is wooden, the windows, doors, door frames, and thresholds are also wooden, and the tables and stools and counters of the inn are also wooden. At a glance, you can see wooden planks. This is the inn, and the shopkeeper is looking up at the second floor.
The person who collected the money at the counter sat in the counter, and Qian Xi Wuyao sat at the table and ate melon seeds. For a moment, it was still like this in the inn. The shopkeeper Fu went to the door of the inn with his back hand to look at the sky. The soup will be simmered again.
"Why aren't there any people here?" Fu shopkeeper said.
No one came to the Fu Shopkeeper's inn, and the three workers of the housekeeper who ate melon seeds saw that he was also anxious for him. That Qian Xi Wudao: "Don't worry, maybe there will be guests in a while." ”
The remote calculation stone did not speak, but just looked at the shopkeeper Fu.
When the shopkeeper Fu heard this, he just smiled politely at Qian Xiwu, snorted and didn't say anything. That Qian Xi Wudao: "Shopkeeper, let's eat a melon seed together, don't stand all the time?" ”
How could the shopkeeper Fu have time to eat melon seeds, he saw that outside the inn, the inn passed by a person, and the person looked behind him when he passed by. The passer-by just passed by, walked past the door and disappeared. When he walked by, he saw a drunken man appear in front of the door. The man looked at the door to the inn. The man had obviously drunk too much, and drank a lot.
"Wine! Let's have a pot of wine! The man shouted inward, waved his hand, shouted to show drunkenness, and beckoned to appear drunk. The shopkeeper never thought that this man would still drink. As soon as this person shouted, Qian Xi Wuyao and the three of them all looked at the door of the inn, and he glanced over when the person who collected the money at the counter appeared. "Yikes! Here you go! When Qian Xiwu saw the man, he immediately shouted.
Although the man was drunk and came to ask for wine and was also a guest, the shopkeeper Fu did not call Xiao Er and immediately greeted him in person. "Bring me another pot of wine!" The man staggered back to the inn.
"Guest, slow down." The shopkeeper stretched out his hands towards the guest. "Pitch a jug." The guest said. The shopkeeper walked quickly to his side and held his arm with both hands.
"Get out of the way! Bring a jug of wine. The guest didn't let the shopkeeper take it, asked the pot of wine to go forward, shook off the arm of the shopkeeper, and lay on the ground without taking two steps forward.
"Huh?" The shopkeeper was thrown away by the guest, he looked at the guest, and the guest took two steps and lay on the ground. The guest must have drunk too much, so the shopkeeper moved to his side, bent down and asked, "Guest?" ”
The man was drunk, unsteady on his feet, and fell to the ground. He lay on the ground, looked forward with his face forward, and then put his face on the ground.
The people in the restaurant were all looking at him, the shopkeeper on the side, the three workers of the housekeeper, and the counter collecting money. That kitchen 'quack!' The five people who were eating melon seeds noticed it, and the little two put their ears on it, and when they didn't hear anyone call him, he turned his head in thought.
"Guest?" The shopkeeper asked the man lying on the ground.
The man had drunk too much, and he heard the shopkeeper speak, and he said, "Wine." ”
This guest officer should be fine, the shopkeeper Fu bent down to look at him, and he said, "Guest officer? ”
"Wine." The man was lying on the ground.
The shopkeeper Fu raised his head up, wanted to help him up, glanced at the counter and wanted to get him wine, he glanced at the counter twice to think about it or let the guest officer get up, he reached out to help the guest officer, and said, "Guest officer? ”
"Wine." The shopkeeper helped him, and the man grabbed the clothes of the shopkeeper with one hand and asked him to carry himself.
This man didn't use much effort, and the shopkeeper Fu struggled to pick it up.
"Guest." The shopkeeper Fu held the guest officer, worried that he would fall. "Xiao Er takes the wine!" The shopkeeper shouted to the kitchen door, and then helped the guest officer to the stool next to the dining table.
