Chapter 56: The Black Shop

While the guests were eating heavily, Wu Niang roamed left and right beside her and said: "A few guest officers, why don't you stay here tonight, there is a mountain in front of you, and it is not safe to travel at night!" ”

"No need." The bearded man refused without even thinking about it, "The three of us brothers have been traveling south and north for many years, and we haven't been afraid of anyone!" ”

Seeing this, the other five-person table naturally refused to admit defeat, and refused to say: "Isn't it just a mountain, if you can't get by, let's level it." ”

Wu Niang showed a coquettish smile and said nothing more.

Perhaps because of eating a few more persimmons, the guests at the three-person table ate first, and the person to the left of the bearded man threw half a penny on the table, and the three of them were about to leave together, but Wu Niang blocked the door all of a sudden.

"What do you mean?" The bearded man asked, rather dissatisfied.

"The money is not right!" Wu Niang glanced at the money on the table and said.

The bearded man shouted: "A plate of wild vegetables without half a drop of oil, a few bowls of invisible porridge with even rice grains, half a drop of money is not enough, you are a black shop?" ”

"And persimmons?" Wu Niang's face did not change, and her jade hand stretched out in front of the beard, "The three of them have a total of three hanging money, and none of them can be missing, thank you!" ”

"You...... You're too black-hearted, aren't you? The person who gave the half-hung money just now jumped up and said, "The black store doesn't take you so black!" ”

Wu Niang raised her eyebrows and said meanly: "I can't take out the three hanging money, and I am not afraid of starvation on the road!" Lao Niang, I opened such an inn here, there is no store in front of the village, and there are few guests passing by all year round, if the price is still charged with those shops outside, then the old lady must not drink the northwest wind, how can this store be opened? If this shop can't be opened, where can you find food when you pass by here today? ”

Yu Xiaohuan watched the excitement from the sidelines, and had to admire Wu Niang's eloquence, so many words were said in one go without breathing.

At this time, the people at the table of five were already full and ready to check out and leave.

The stuffy wood boss passed by the bearded man with four people behind him, and stretched out his hand without saying a word. Wu Niang saw that there were five hangings of money in that hand, and suddenly smiled, and her eyes were about to smile.

Wu Niang snatched the money from the hand of the stuffy wood boss, and immediately stepped aside, and after the five of them walked out, she reminded in the back: "When the moon is dark and the wind is high, don't go to the horse mountain!" When she turned her head to face the three people who hadn't paid yet, her smile immediately disappeared, and she changed to an expression that was about to explode at any time, and said: "Look at people, they do things neatly and neatly, and never delay their efforts for such trivial things as a few hanging money, this is the one who becomes a big deal!" If you continue to struggle with it, you will have to stay here tonight. A room in our inn for a night is a penny, but it is also very cheap, very cost-effective! ”

The bearded man gestured, and the person behind had to take out two more hangings of money and throw them on the table next to him, and then reluctantly filled up the half-hanging.

After the three of them turned over and left, Wu Niang grabbed the money on the table, threw it into the air, and said confidently: "They will come back!" ”

"Why?" Yu Xiaohuan asked.

"Blocking the horse mountain, they can't get by." Wu Niang kept staring at the door in the distance.

Yu Xiaohuan's first reaction when she heard this sentence was that Wu Niang had colluded with the bandits, but then she thought that if this was the case, then Wu Niang would have been unable to keep her friend Taoxin who ran out of the bandits' den for a long time.

"Have you been?" Yu Xiaohuan seemed to understand something, "You didn't go hunting today, but went to find bandits, didn't you?" ”

"Nope." Wu Niang said humbly, as if she herself felt that her words were not convincing, and then added: "I just went hunting in the mountains, and I accidentally bumped into it." ”

"Pull it down! You've been here for years, how can you not know how to avoid those bandits? Yu Xiaohuan's eyes became bright, and at the same time a little uneasy, "You shouldn't be looking for revenge for me, right?" ”

"Don't overthink it." Wu Niang immediately denied it, but her eyes were avoiding Yu Xiaohuan, "I'm not so righteous!" ”

Yu Xiaohuan only thinks she is duplicitous, a strong woman is like this, you found her Xiao Jiujiu, to put it bluntly, she didn't admit it, I don't want you to always feel that you owe her kindness; But if you really pretend that nothing happened and don't remember her kindness, then I'm afraid she will still be angry.

After eating some wild vegetables with porridge, Wu Niang decided to pick the persimmons in the backyard and soak them together. Yu Xiaohuan was taken aback, the two persimmon trees in the backyard could bear a lot of fruit, if they were all picked and eaten three times a day, they would not be able to eat until they were soaked. It wasn't until Wu Niang explained that after a few days of soaking, they could take it to the market and sell it for some other things, Yu Xiaohuan immediately blamed Wu Niang for not saying it earlier, and then very actively prepared to fetch water and waited for Wu Niang to pick the persimmons.

She was so excited that she was going to be moldy in this place where the birds didn't, and if she had known where the market was, she would have rushed over to join in the fun.

Wu Niang flew up the tree, picked the big persimmons, and Yu Xiaohuan put them in the bucket in the corner of the wall to soak, but unfortunately the bucket was limited and could not accommodate so many persimmons, so Wu Niang temporarily contributed the big wooden barrel in which she bathed.

Yu Xiaohuan couldn't help but quip: "Sister Wu, on the day of the market, you must dress up beautifully, I will say that these persimmons are soaked in your bath water, and these persimmons will definitely sell well at that time!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that our stall will be smashed directly?" Wu Niang said with a smile.

"How so? When I watched the person making cakes on TV, he accidentally used Chang'e's bath water and noodles to make cakes, but others rushed to buy them? ”

"TV? What faces? What was made? Wu Niang was confused, holding the trunk and thinking motionless.

"Uh...... It's a story I heard. Yu Xiaohuan was speechless, and had to explain.

"Why haven't I heard this story?" Wu Niang racked her brains to think, and the confusion on her face became heavier and heavier.

Yu Xiaohuan saw that she was so engrossed that she forgot to pick persimmons when she hung on the tree, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister Wu, let's pick the persimmons first, and after a while, it will be so dark that I can't see it." ”

By the time the two of them were done, it was already dark. Wu Niang lit a bunch of torches in front of the inn, and as soon as she returned to the front hall, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the inn, the sound was urgent and panicked, different from the sounds of the rainbow heard during the day.

Yu Xiaohuan was washing her face in the backyard, thinking that she didn't even have a dog on weekdays, so late today, how could there be guests? Wu Niang said confidently: "They are back." ”

A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Wu Niang's mouth, and then she flipped into front of the counter in a graceful pose.

Yu Xiaohuan hurriedly followed to the side, stood in a proper manner, and the guests came in from the front yard.
