Chapter 36: Don't Owe Favors (1st Update)
Although it is only a small county town, because of this tile shop, it is as beautiful and charming as the big city that never sleeps in later generations.
This is the unique style of the Great Song Dynasty that distinguishes it from other dynasties, in Chinese history, the Song Dynasty is one of the few dynasties without curfews, and it is precisely because of this that the people of the Great Song Dynasty have such a charming nightlife.
Lin Zhenniang waited for a long time, although she looked indifferent on the surface, but she was panicked in her heart. I've already talked to Xiaojuan, but why hasn't anyone come from the Qinglou to buy her pancakes yet? Could it be that Xiaojuan didn't keep the agreement, but she obviously high-fived the appointment? Generally speaking, the Song people attach great importance to conventions.
was in a hurry, and Meng Dalang came back with a basket. Thinking about the good business, although the braised meat in the basket is gone, the fat chicken is still there, and the purse in his hand is also bulging.
Approaching step by step, Meng Dalang did not go back to his stall, but shook Lin Zhenniang's end, lowered his voice and said: "I said sister, you are in trouble!" ”
Lin Zhenniang was stunned when she said this. She's been selling bread here today, and she's not doing anything!
Seeing Lin Zhenniang's blank expression, Meng Dalang approached and asked mysteriously, "Do you have any entanglements with Ren Chunxiang Building?" This time it's too bad, you provoked Miss Yumei! I'm telling you, don't look at these young ladies and don't care about the things in the building, but if you really offend them, you don't want to do business in the building. What's more, this Miss Yumei is the top brand of Chunxiang Building, even if we have a lot of them in Dingtao County, you ......"
Meng Dalang pointed at Lin Zhenniang with his finger, a look of "you have suffered".
Lin Zhenniang heard Yumei's name. I reacted. She has no entanglement with that Oiran, if you want to talk about the relationship, it is the agreement with Xiaojuan just now. Did this also offend the Oiran?
She was groaning, and Lin Dong, who had been sitting with his head down, raised his head. said lightly: "It's just a young lady......" The implication is naturally that Lin Zhenniang does not have to be afraid.
Although this is appeasement, Lin Zhenniang is still uncomfortable in her heart. If she hadn't set up a stall here, she wouldn't have thought of using her name to attract customers. Naturally, there is no need to be afraid. Even if that Miss Yumei had some ability, she couldn't cure her. But she still wants to be able to use people's names......
Shaking her head, she smiled brightly at Meng Dalang, "Thank you Brother Meng for coming to tell me this, I don't know what Brother Meng saw, how can I say that I offended Miss Yumei?" "This matter has to be asked from the root.
Meng Dalang grinned. didn't answer Lin Zhenniang, but asked with a smile: "The little girl really doesn't come to Guan Pounce?" Interesting......"
Lin Zhenniang raised her eyebrows, and Wu Xiaoliu suddenly interjected: "Brother Meng, you are not good, you can't catch anyone and ask someone to bet with you!?" ”
Meng Dalang rolled his eyelids. Glancing at Wu Xiaoliu, he said in a strange voice: "Little Liuzi and relieved, this little girl may be much luckier than you, so she won?" ”
Wu Xiaoliu's mouth moved slightly, but in the end he still turned his head and said nothing.
Looking at Wu Xiaoliu's appearance, it is obvious that he was also half-forced by this Meng Dalang to gamble when he first came. Lin Zhenniang frowned, gritted her teeth, and counted ten cents from her purse and gave it to Meng Dalang.
Meng Dalang smiled and handed over the bamboo tube. Lin Zhenniang smiled. He didn't stretch out his hand, but said, "Brother Meng, tell me what you saw first." ”
Meng Dalang raised his eyebrows, put away the bamboo tube, rolled his eyes, and said, "When I go to Chunxiang Building." A regular customer called me to go up and cut the braised pork, and then someone pounced on me. After finishing the incident, I thought about walking around the building, maybe there was still business, and it was a coincidence, when I arrived outside the elegant room on the second floor, I saw Miss Yumei's girl Xiaojuan coming out of the house, and called out quite loudly: Mo Xiaosan, go outside to buy a few pancakes, our young lady likes to eat the most...... Then Mo Xiaosan answered downstairs, and I saw Miss Yumei coming from the corner - to say, Miss Yumei really looks like a handsome, that eyebrows, that eyes, that figure ......"
Hearing that Meng Dalang was a little off-topic, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help coughing: "Brother Meng, what's next?" ”
A little unpleasantly pouted, Meng Dalang continued: "At that time, I knew that Miss Yumei was not in the private room. Miss Yumei just called in a low voice, and Xiaojuan's face turned white with fright—guess what? ”
Seeing that Lin Zhenniang had been staring at him, and even Li Si and Wu Xiaoliu next to him couldn't help but look at him, Meng Dalang smiled proudly, "It turns out that this Xiaojuan is completely self-asserted, and Miss Yumei didn't say that she wanted to eat pancakes at all—what is this called?" Falsehood, falsehood—yes, falsehood! ”
Looking at Lin Zhenniang, Meng Dalang smiled and said, "Sister, you and my brother are honest, did you give Xiaojuan any benefits?" Or could she call it that? I see, you have really offended Miss Yumei this time! ”
Lin Zhenniang was silent, the agreement between her and Xiaojuan, what Xiaojuan had already done, although the result was not the same as she thought, but she could only blame herself for her bad luck. I just don't know if Xiaojuan, who took the name of Miss Yumei, will be punished?
Sighing in her heart, she said lightly: "Thank you, Brother Meng......" Although it was concealed, it was still difficult to hide the gloom in the end.
Meng Dalang said "um", but didn't leave, just handed the bamboo tube in his hand forward. Seeing Lin Zhenniang looking at him, he handed it forward again, "Draw a lot, I still have to go to the building!" ”
"Forget it, I'm not betting." Lin Zhenniang waved her hand and pushed the bamboo tube back,
"How can you do it without gambling? Who are you and I? Do you take your money for nothing? Meng Dalang raised his eyebrows and handed the bamboo tube to Lin Zhenniang, "If you don't bet, you can't do it, if you don't smoke, I'll be here with you, and when you draw this lot, I'll leave!" ”
Lin Zhenniang opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Meng Dalang had already blocked her with a sentence, "Don't think about me returning your money!" The money that I Meng Da collected, no one wants to deduct it back - quick draw, quick draw, quick draw......"
Helpless, Lin Zhenniang had to draw a bamboo stick in the bamboo tube and handed it over. "That's all right, isn't it?"
Meng Dalang didn't make a sound, pinching the bamboo stick, staring at Lin Zhenniang with a strange look. Lin Zhenniang was still wondering, he was already angry and hummed: "Little girl's luck is really good......
Because he said this, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help but look, Meng Dalang removed the finger holding the bamboo stick, and it was a vermilion dot.
"Huh?" Lin Zhenniang realized that she had actually won the jackpot, "Is this a win?" ”
Meng Dalang snorted, but Li Si and Wu Xiaoliu were happy, and Li Si even smiled and nodded at Meng Dalang, "Let you chase people and you all day long, now it's okay, finally have a lesson for you." ”
Meng Dalang puffed out of his nose, but he still took out the fat chicken in the basket and handed it to Lin Zhenniang, "Here you go, little lady, pounce again!" ”
Seeing him throw the bamboo stick into the bamboo tube, Lin Zhenniang hurriedly waved her hand, "It's just luck, I don't gamble - Brother Meng, go back quickly!" Aunt Du called you! ”
Meng Dalang turned his head and glanced at it, and saw that his old lady was really pale, and it was not good to pester Lin Zhenniang anymore, so he turned around and left.
"Good luck little lady!" Wu Xiaoliu, who doesn't like to talk, has a smile on his face, "It can be regarded as a bad breath for me!" ”
"Luck, luck......" Lin Zhenniang smiled, but a trace of weird emotions welled up in her heart.
Perhaps, it was really luck! Suddenly coming to this strange era from the afterlife, it is not bad luck, but luck......
Pursing her lips and smiling, she turned her head and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, I want to borrow your knife to use, just cut this fat chicken here, and the big guys are happy together......
"I can't help it, Zhenniang, you better take it home and eat it!" Li Si waved his hand and persuaded.
Lin Zhenniang shook her head with a smile and said, "You're welcome, Uncle Li, I have filial piety in me, and my family doesn't eat meat." That's it, it just so happens that my uncle is also there, and you can eat together......"
Stuffing the fat and oily roast chicken into Li Si's hand, Lin Zhenniang turned her head and called Lin Dong, "Dongbo, you eat with them." Ah, why don't I get some wine......"
Lin Dong hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't drink wine, I'll have to drive the donkey cart later!" ”
Lin Zhenniang thought about it, so she no longer insisted.
Watching Li Si chop the roast chicken, beckoning the nearby vendors to come over and eat, listening to the thank you of "Thank you little lady", the smile on Lin Zhenniang's face became bigger and bigger.
Perhaps, she won't get the advertising effect she wants, but even if she doesn't have that, she can still be in the tile shop......
Hearing the shout, Lin Zhenniang turned her head and looked at Mo Xiaosan who ran over, and couldn't help blinking.
"What is the little lady still doing in a daze? Hurry up, get twenty of your pancakes first, and if it's good, there's still ...... back."
Stunned for a moment, Lin Zhenniang said, "This cake is from the guest?" ”
Even if Xiaojuan called that just now, but then Miss Yumei came forward, how could anyone still come......
"Isn't it just what the guests wanted!" Mo Xiaosan smiled at Lin Zhenniang and said with a smile: "It's also your luck that Miss Yumei will personally help you speak." It was said that the pancakes on the new stall were so delicious that the customers wanted to try the freshness......"
"Miss Yumei?" Lin Zhenniang picked up the hand of the batter bucket and was a little surprised, "Why is it the advertisement that Miss Yumei helped me make - no, I mean Miss Yumei said good things about me?" ”
"It's not," Mo Xiaosan said, "By the way, this is for you ......"
Stunned to take the purse in Mo Xiaosan's hand, Lin Zhenniang didn't react for a while. Although I didn't open the purse, I had to have sixty or seventy dollars in this blue purse embroidered with red plums.
Is this money for this pancake?
"This is given to you by Miss Yumei, Miss Yumei said, Xiaojuan has already done what Xiaojuan promised you, she ignored the agreement between you and Xiaojuan, but she doesn't like to owe favors, so the money will make up for the pancake before you."
"Make up for it?" Lin Zhenniang blinked, and then she realized that it was the pancake that Xiaojuan took later.
"How does this work? That pancake ......" Before Lin Zhenniang finished speaking, Mo Xiaosan stopped her words, "Miss Yumei also said, if you like this purse, you can keep it, if you don't like it, sell it or throw it away, it's up to you." ”
