Volume 2 Fan Cheng Tragedy Chapter 95 Four Seas Restaurant
Sihai Restaurant is located in Ningzheng District, Ningzhong County, located diagonally opposite Chenfu, from the second floor of the restaurant can also see the gate of Chenfu in and out. Unlike Fuqian Street, which seems to be full of cars in front of Chen's Mansion but is actually not bustling, this is a real prosperous area.
Compared with those big restaurants, Sihai Restaurant is very small, only two floors.
Zhang Qiaosheng is the second shopkeeper of Sihai Restaurant, and he is also the only guy in the restaurant. He had just been kicked out of the restaurant by the shopkeeper, and was standing at the gate of the restaurant with a reluctant face. It wasn't that he was fired, but that the shopkeeper gave him a task that was simply impossible.
The shopkeeper asked him to pull a hero back today no matter what, even if it is to invite someone to play the hero, of course, even if it is fake, it must look like it is real, at least the realm must be above the Yuanwu realm.
It would be fine if the shopkeeper was willing to give money, but what about the shopkeeper of his family, he was extremely stingy and only willing to give him 1,000 taels of silver. One thousand taels of silver is a lot, and for an ordinary person like him, the annual salary is only one hundred taels of silver.
But this is not to invite a shopkeeper like him, but to invite a hero!
Is the hero's net worth so cheap? Haven't you seen other restaurants and teahouses bidding for a jade coin for a month? I don't dare to guarantee that I will definitely be invited. There are also some shops that hire people to pretend to be heroes, but even if they are fake heroes, the minimum is more than 3,000 taels a month.
One thousand taels?
After Zhang Qiaosheng looked around with a bitter face, he found that no one noticed him, so he kicked the 1,000 taels of silver ticket into his arms and walked cautiously to the street.
There are very few people on the streets and alleys of the county town recently, not to mention the big girls and little daughters-in-law who are full of streets on weekdays, and the snack stalls selling fruit and pastries are nowhere to be seen. It's not that people are getting lazy, it's just that the county town hasn't been safe these days.
First of all, there were two male and female evils in the city who were dedicated to killing good people, so that those great benevolent people who did good deeds and accumulated virtues on weekdays did not dare to come out to hang out, and even their family servants rarely came out. Good people were also afraid of death, so they recruited many knights.
As the number of chivalrous people in the city decreased, the ruffian hooligans and bullies began to emerge gradually. How much area can the yacha manage alone? Therefore, people rarely go out on the streets, but they can't stay at home every day, right? So the restaurant and teahouse have become the place that people frequented the most.
It stands to reason that this is a good thing, after all, there are more people who come to the restaurant, and Chen Qiaosheng can earn more.
But people only like those restaurants and teahouses with chivalrous guests, and people don't care about small restaurants like Sihai Restaurant, which are rarely patronized by chivalrous guests, and even the regular customers on weekdays have gone to other restaurants.
It is precisely for this reason that major restaurants and teahouses began to pay money to invite knights to come to the town.
Dongning County is just a remote place, and there are not many knights. These knights are either rushing to the 100,000 Mountains or the Yunyang Mountains to experience and will not stay at all, or they are hired by those big merchants, and when it is their turn to these small restaurants, how much will be left?
Later, they Sihai Restaurant first came up with the idea of hiring a coachman from Chen Jialiuyu, and found a rough-looking coachman to pretend to be a hero in the store, and gave him 500 taels of silver every month. After all, ordinary coachmen only pay more than 100 taels of silver per month, and 500 taels is already a lot.
But somehow, everyone knew about it, so they hired rogue coachmen, and the price of coachmen was also speculated higher and higher, and the highest had reached the level of five thousand taels of silver a month. Where is the shopkeeper willing to pay such a high price? So the original coachman sat for a month and left the Four Seas Restaurant.
Now if you want to find it again, where are there so many people? After all, people who don't look fierce enough, but they can't pretend to be heroes, and they can't give diners a sense of security, can they? Even these diners who are ordinary people can't be scared, how can they scare away those scoundrels?
"Looking for a hero, where are you going to find this?" Chen Qiaosheng muttered with a bitter face and walked towards the gate of Chen's mansion, the business of Liuyu has not been very good recently, but Master Chen has eaten and eaten, and for the safety of the guests, he has reduced Liuyu by half, and now there are two drivers per car.
One person drives and one person pretends to be a chivalrous guest, and ninety percent of all the income of the rogue belongs to the two of them. Of course, if it's all fake, it won't scare anyone.
What Master Chen thinks of is true and false, and among these pretending martial artists, there are also some real heroes. If the ruffians, hooligans, gangsters and bullies really dare to stand in the way, and meet a real warrior, they will be cut down with a knife, not to mention, they will be thrown into the yamen to suffer the pain of flesh and blood, and be imprisoned.
Since Master Chen made this adjustment, Liuyu's business has stabilized. No matter how stable it is, there are still people whose income is not high, right? Chen Qiaosheng is the idea of beating these people, if he meets one, it is estimated that he can get it for 1,000 taels of silver.
Chen Qiaosheng walked and walked, and suddenly a wanderer stopped on the side of the road beside him, and a young man walked down from the wanderer, the young man was wearing a plain white coarse cloth robe, and he looked extremely delicate. Chen Qiaosheng just glanced at him, and immediately rushed to the side of the wanderer and bargained with the two coachmen.
It's just that Chen Qiaosheng just said his intention, but he didn't know that the two coachmen didn't even listen to his offer, and immediately left in a hurry.
Chen Qiaosheng sighed helplessly, and was about to continue walking, when he suddenly saw the young man who had just gotten out of the car, and when he saw the back of the young man, Chen Qiaosheng showed a happy face. The young man was standing in front of a closed shop, frowning at the sign.
This row is full of small shops, including noodle shops selling pasta and cakes, small shops selling snacks, and only this one that has closed is slightly larger. The situation of the teahouse and the Four Seas Restaurant is somewhat similar, and it can't afford to invite knights, so it's closed.
Although this young man is very handsome, Chen Qiaosheng is very sure that he is definitely a chivalrous man, and he is not from the county town, but a foreign chivalrous man. He was so sure because the young man carried a strange-looking sword and a new hat. And if this person is from the county, he will not be surprised by the closure of a teahouse.
Chen Qiaosheng hurriedly trotted over with a smile on his face, showing the sign smile of the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Childe, do you want to play the tip or live in the store?" The small shop is not far from here, just over the street, slightly larger than this store. ”
After hearing this, the young man showed a strange expression, did anyone come to the teahouse to stay in the store?
The young man was none other than Tang Yi, who left the county guard alone. It can't be said that he is alone, and beside him there is a narrow ghost who can't be seen by outsiders, and a wind beast that can only scream. At this time, the ghost was floating in the air, looking at Tang Yi with a resentful expression.
The reason why the ghost looked at Tang Yi with a look of resentment was because he failed to earn back the million from Tang Yi.
I knew that the old man of the land was blocking him, and Tang Yi had such a way, he would not tell Tang Yi the news if he was killed. It's better now, let this kid sell three jade coins with that news, not to mention, and earn some merit points in vain.
What is this so much called? The ghost was crying with a sad face, and he didn't even pay attention to Xiaobai's 'Wang' cry at him.
The ghost is in a bad mood, but Tang Yi is in an extremely good mood now. Not only did he earn three jade coins from Young Master Sun with this news, but after earning those three jade coins, Tang Yi felt that Young Master Sun would definitely send out a move against the gates, and now he was involved in this matter.
Therefore, he ran to the Bloody Gate again, and quietly spread the news that Young Master Sun had already set up a net, waiting for the major sects to jump in. After the major sects got the news, they immediately dispelled the idea of slaughtering the people outside the city and returned to their respective mountain gates.
As for whether they will fight in the future, Tang Yi doesn't care, anyway, he asked the ghost to promote narrowness, even if they fight again in the future, it has nothing to do with him. And with this wave of back and forth trafficking news, he also earned 30,000 merits.
The only pity is that in the future, it is impossible to earn merit points by selling news, Judge Cui asked the ghost to give him a word, and there will be such a thing in the future, unless he personally takes action to eliminate the trouble, instead of relying on buying and selling news, so that there will be merit rewards.
This is to prevent him from deliberately stirring up conflicts, and then selling news to earn merit points. Although Tang Yi felt that he was not such a person, after all, it was Judge Cui's decision, and he was helpless. But I managed to earn 30,000 yuan, isn't it worth merit? I can still feel better.
If it weren't for Chu Ling's pursuit mission, his mood would be better!
The reason why Tang Yi came to this teahouse was just to find a good position by the window to monitor the Chen Mansion and wait for Chen Zhengfeng to leave the mansion. He can't come to the gate of the Chen Mansion every day to stand for a day, right? Wouldn't this be a clear way to tell Chu Ling, 'Lao Tzu is here to kill you, take it easy'?
Tang Yi followed Zhang Qiaosheng's finger and looked in the direction he was pointing. Sihai Restaurant is not too far, it is located at the bevel of the intersection, and the view from the window on the second floor is not bad, just enough to see the Chen Mansion. Maybe you can still see the inside of the Chen Mansion?
After Tang Yi frowned, he looked at Chen Qiaosheng next to him suspiciously. How could a guy from a restaurant come so far to solicit customers? Could it be a black shop? But shouldn't all black shops be opened in remote places outside the city?
Could it be that the business of this restaurant is not very good, so he came up with such a way to attract customers?
However, he was just trying to spy on the Chen Mansion for convenience, as for whether the other party was a black shop or if there was any reason why the business was not good, Tang Yi didn't care at all. With his strength, he is naturally not afraid of any black shops, and as for bad business, it has nothing to do with him.
It's nothing more than a bad meal, can it be more unpalatable than the raw rice he made himself?
Tang Yi didn't hear Chen Qiaosheng's conversation with the two coachmen, so he didn't know anything about the fact that Sihai Restaurant was inviting knights. However, the environment of the Four Seas Restaurant was barely okay, so he nodded.
After Chen Qiaosheng saw Tang Yi nodding, he wanted to take the initiative to mention it, but he felt that he really couldn't take the thousand taels of silver, so he didn't mention it. Seeing Tang Yi actually raised his feet and walked towards the Four Seas Restaurant, he hurriedly followed with Xiaoxiao.
