Chapter 427: Doing Business (Thanks to the 20,000 yuan reward from the book friend of "Zhao Chunjia"!) )
The owner of the fish stall was a strange man with a chubby head but a small almost triangular shape, and at this moment he seemed to sense their fingers, turned his head and looked at them curiously with a pair of excessively large eyes, and suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of jagged yellow teeth.
This scene was a little terrifying, so shocked that Wen Bingyan's hand pulling the curtain trembled slightly, and he hurriedly cut off the eyes of the outside world, even so, he always felt a little hairy in his heart when he thought about it later.
And in fact, she also vaguely noticed that since the caravan entered this town, it seemed that everyone in the town would look at it with curiosity or two, although it didn't stare all the time, but it was also a bit rude.
Although it can be explained that the trade routes in this place are not passable, so few outsiders come in, and it seems natural to be curious when she comes once, but she always feels that there is another special meaning behind those eyes, which makes her dare not think about it.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, he smelled the ice smoke and ordered him to go down, find an inn to rest for the night, and wait until tomorrow morning to continue the trip.
What she didn't say was that if it went well, maybe she would be able to return tomorrow, but if it didn't go well, although she would also return, there should be one less person.
After a detour in this somewhat strange town, I was surprised to find that most of the shops here were there, and there seemed to be no inns, and even the houses where the people lived were rarely seen, as if all the residents here came here just to go shopping and buy things, which made everyone feel a little weird.
After a long time, I finally found an inn with an open door, and the person in charge of looking at the store was a proprietress who was dressed up a little fancy and charming.
At the moment, business is deserted, and the tables and chairs in the lobby that look quite brand new are stacked, and there is not a single customer in sight. The proprietress was in the back kitchen and didn't know what she was doing, until one of the guards shouted, she poked her head out and looked around, and seemed a little surprised to see so many guests, and immediately greeted her with a smile.
"A few guest officers, do you want to be sharpened or stayed?"
The proprietress who looked like she was a little older on the outside, but she still had a charm, and she threw a wink at the young men, making them blush, and looked away a little embarrassed, thinking it was quite funny, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"We want to stay overnight." Wen Bingyan stood up as the principal and said, and then asked as if he was a little puzzled, "Boss, why is there only one inn in this town?" ”
"Because, there are too few people here, and my inn is only open when I have nothing to do......" The proprietress chuckled as if she had a deep meaning while arranging for them, and then asked curiously, "All the guest officers are from outside, right?" What are you doing here? ”
"Too few people?"
Wen Bingyan frowned slightly, feeling a little strange in his heart. Just along the way, there are clearly a lot of passers-by passing by, and some shops are so many people that they need to queue up, so it is impossible for everyone to come in the morning and leave in the evening, and they don't need accommodation, right?
Although he felt strange in his heart, he replied, "We are a caravan, and we are passing by here to do business." ”
"Caravans?" The proprietress was slightly stunned, and then chuckled again, "I don't hide it from the girl, most of the passers-by here are here to do business." ”
This is expected to smell the ice smoke, after all, there are shops everywhere outside, and the business is also excellent, compared to the Qingyang City, it is much more lively, and it must be a place where the business is quite developed.
It's just strange why such a violation of harmony could occur in such remote and harsh environmental conditions?
In this regard, she also asked the proprietress about the specific situation of this place, but did not get an answer from the other party. When it comes to the specific situation here, the proprietress just smiles and doesn't answer, which is even more strange.
And after everyone's accommodation rooms were arranged, the proprietress suddenly reminded her softly: "Although this place is relatively safe, but after all, there are many people, and I don't know which way of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are hidden in the shadows, so it's best not to go out casually at night, and it's best to leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning, don't stay here for a long time." ”
"Why?" Smelling Bingyan, he couldn't help but be a little curious and asked.
The proprietress just shook her head, and walked slowly downstairs without replying.
The other party's strange attitude and the style of this town that is quite different from other towns can't help but make Wen Bingyan have some strange associations in his heart, and there seems to be an eerie atmosphere everywhere.
In fact, she is not the only one, others have similar doubts. For example, while waiting for dinner, the worried little maid couldn't help but whisper to her, "Miss...... This place just looks weird. Could it be that this proprietress opened a black shop, so no one dared to come to the door? ”
"Will she drug us in our meals and take all the money and make us all Chéng Rén meat buns or something......
The little maid really likes to think crankily, scaring herself, her face turned pale and trembling as she spoke, and she was scared by herself. However, it is not the first time that Wen Bingyan has come out to do business, and he will not trust others, especially since there are obvious strangeness everywhere here, so he will naturally be on guard against this kind of thing.
However, it seems that they are indeed overly worried, because the food served by the proprietress is some home-cooked food, and the taste is quite good, and after tasting it by experienced people, there are no problems, which proves that this is indeed just an ordinary inn with a sluggish business.
Soon, the inn, which seemed to have not done business for a long time, became lively, and many of the guards finally had a chance to rest and eat a hot meal after several days of running around.
For a while, the sound of drinking, eating, talking and laughing filled the lobby of this inn, and there were also those urging the proprietress to serve food and warm wine quickly.
And when Wen Bingyan was eating, he saw that the proprietress who was walking fast but handled everything in an orderly manner, and even had the leisure to laugh with the guests, suddenly remembered a question.
"So many meals, and wine and meat...... It's all done by the proprietress herself? ”
Since entering the inn, she has not seen any other guys, whether it is reception or serving, she is doing it herself. Even so, the dishes ordered by everyone came up quickly without the slightest delay.
"This inn ...... It's really weird. Wen Bingyan shook his head slightly, not planning to continue his research.
She had a vague feeling that if she delved deeper, she might not find any results.
