Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Outer Village (3)
Tong Xiaolai leaned on the counter with one hand and said: "Shopkeeper, hello, the three of us are fortunate to come here, only to see that it is getting late, there is nowhere to stay, hereby ask for an upper room, I don't know if the shopkeeper can ......"
The shopkeeper greeted warmly: "Yes, yes, the guest officer can rest assured, the upper room is already ready, but the three of them only need one room, is it crowded?" ”
Tong Xiaolai understood the meaning of the shopkeeper and said: "Oh, the shopkeeper, that's the case, our brothers have a good relationship and like to be lively, let's give the three of us a room, I don't know the shopkeeper, how do you calculate the price?" ”
The shopkeeper said, "We are here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and the climate is pleasant. ”
"Two hundred taels!" Tong Xiaolai was taken aback, thinking how sincere we are! Is our sincerity holding you back?
Tong Xiaolai searched all over his body and took out a one-dollar coin, which looked quite like silver taels, Tong Xiaolai "snapped" and slapped the money in front of the shopkeeper, although there was no money, but the momentum could not be lost, and asked: "Ahem, the shopkeeper, may I ask if this is possible?" ”
The shopkeeper picked up the coin and bit it, nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, yes, it's just a guest officer, it's just one or two, I'm afraid it's a little less, is there still a guest officer?" ”
Tong Xiaolai was a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Boss, we have come from afar, and we have never been equipped with so many silver taels, can you give us a discount?" ”
The shopkeeper was horrified: "What, discount! Guest, this is absolutely unacceptable, for the sake of this bit of silver, you will discount your legs, how can this work? ”
I saw the shopkeeper turn around and shouted to the back kitchen: "Little Er, bring a stick!" These three guest officers are too long to have long legs and want to discount them, and we can't refuse the guests if they have such a request, so I'll fulfill you! ”
The three were taken aback. Tong Xiaolai's fingers trembled and accused: "What! I'm a good man, you Diao Min, phew, you monkey, phew, you shopkeeper, open a black shop! Why do you live in a store and beat people? ”
The three of them involuntarily took a few steps back, thinking that the shopkeeper's comprehension ability was also lacking.
The shopkeeper suddenly understood and said, "Oh, so you are talking about this discount!" I'm sorry, I misunderstood. If you want to get a discount, I said it earlier, as compensation, I'll give you a ninety-eight discount, how about it? ”
"Ninety-nine-nine...... Ninety-eight fold! Isn't this taking off your pants and farting, wasting your expression? Tong Xiaolai thought to himself that this discount was not very good, it was better not to fight.
I saw the shopkeeper explain: "Eh, guest officer, don't worry, our discount is upside down, the higher the discount, the higher the discount, and I will charge you two or two." How's that, guest officer, isn't it touching? ”
"Hey, is this true? It's the first time I've heard that this discount is played upside down, and this discount is really exciting! It's so touching, it's touching, it's so touching! But Tong Xiaolai searched all over his body, and he couldn't find one or two more.
Tong Xiaolai said shyly: "Shopkeeper, I'm really sorry, we didn't bring two taels of silver......
The shopkeeper snatched the words: "What, I didn't bring silver taels!" Are you trying to make me happy? ”
The shopkeeper turned around and shouted towards the kitchen: "Xiao Er, bring a stick, I see that these three guest officers don't want to live anymore, let's kill them!" ”
"Eh, blah, blah, blah, the shopkeeper is slow! Although we didn't bring silver taels, we have a favorite RMB! Our people there call it a baby, I don't know if the shopkeeper has ever seen it? Tong Xiaolai took out the money after speaking, but saw that the uproar of the RMB had its own halo and was shining.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened, and he was dumbfounded: "Is this the legendary renminbi with mysterious power?!" ”
The shopkeeper made a "bang", knelt on the ground, and bowed: "The sky is above, the great renminbi, please be worshiped by the villain!" ”
The shopkeeper took over the great people with a trembling soul and admired: "I heard that as long as you collect all the yuan, you can summon a girlfriend, is this true?" ”
"Hehehe, the shopkeeper is really knowledgeable!" I don't know if I can summon him, "Come, you take this money, this is the beginning of hope." It's a small step for me, but it's a big step for you in the future! Tong Xiaolai solemnly handed over the money to him.
The shopkeeper held the money in tears, and his hands trembled: "This RMB is too great, this RMB is too great!" With this, I might be able to find a girlfriend too! ”
"Ugh." Tong Xiaolai couldn't help but feel sad for him, "Even the handsome pot can find a girlfriend, it's really not easy for this shopkeeper to be old." ”
Tong Xiaolai thought to himself, the shopkeeper's words are true, this renminbi does have some kind of mysterious power, which makes people think about it all their lives.
But it's great, it seems that this time it's done, the place to settle down has been settled, and there is finally a place to live tonight.
Tong Xiaolai worked hard to book a room, and it was quite hard, but after moving out of RMB, the problem was finally solved.
The shopkeeper shouted to the back kitchen: "Xiao Er, come out to welcome the guests!" ”
Xiao Er ran out of the back kitchen excitedly, nodded at the three of them, and greeted him warmly: "Guest officer, please upstairs!" ”
But seeing that this little two looks mediocre, has a strong body, and looks hardworking, he looks very pragmatic.
Xiao Er helped them with their luggage and opened the way in front.
Under the guidance of Xiao Er, the three of them went upstairs, walked through the corridor, and came to an empty room on the second floor.
Xiao Er put down his luggage, brought them tea, and retired first.
The three of them put down the things they were carrying, and then involuntarily floated towards the bed, and suddenly lay down, exhausted and collapsed on the bed.
"Ahh A sigh sighed their exhaustion, thinking about how hard it was to travel in the past few days.
However, after lying down for a while, the fat man felt that the bed was uncomfortable.
The fat man lifted the straw mat, knocked on the plank, and lay on the bed and complained: "This bed board is so hard, how do you sleep at night?" ”
Tong Xiaolai replied: "Fatty, don't be so squeamish, the hard bed is good for the waist and back, don't think it's still like home, go out, endure more, and focus on the overall situation in everything." However, you must also try to be kind to yourself, and you must not be bitter about yourself. After Tong Xiaolai finished speaking, he spread a quilt on his bed, and then lay down, barely making do.
"Big brother, you are cheating, if you don't bring this, I will also have a quilt!" The second fat said unhappily.
After a while, Tong Xiaolai and the fat man were grabbing the quilt, and the old man got up.
The old man was cautious and observed, and familiarized himself with the corridors, rooms, and windows on the second floor, and the surrounding terrain, just in case.
Tong Xiaolai and the fat man are in this mood, they can't get up when they lie in bed, and they fall asleep.
Not long after he fell asleep, Tong Xiaolai got up.
Tong Xiaolai originally wanted to sleep, but his stomach was protesting, shouting that he wouldn't let him sleep.
It's not yet night, but there's something more important to solve than sleeping, and that's being hungry.
Tong Xiaolai thought to himself, this is an inn, there are no other things, and there is always a lot to eat.
The fat man is too, when it comes to eating, he can't sleep anymore, and he is more active than Tong Xiaolai.
The two of them had to drag their bodies to get tired and go to fill their stomachs first.
Thinking that there would be something good to eat immediately, Tong Xiaolai and the fat man ran downstairs in a hurry, rushed down to the lobby on the lower floor, found a table, and sat down happily.
The high tables and low benches are all wood, the tables are boxy, the stools are not tall or short, and the coordination with the table is just right. Tong Xiaolai sat down, patted the table, and shouted: "Xiao Er, warm two pots of wine for me, cut two catties of beef, and serve good wine and good food!" ”
Xiao Er responded: "Come on, guest officer, sit down, good wine and good food will come soon!" ”
The old man realized it later.
"Don't say it, I'm really hungry." Tong Xiaolai quipped, "I'm so hungry that I can eat a cow now." ”
The second fat said: "Big brother, it's not good for us to drink like this, what should we do if we get drunk for a while?" ”
How do you know that Tong Xiaolai said: "It's better to be drunk, and get drunk can relieve a thousand sorrows." Okay, I'm kidding you. The mountains and rivers here are fertile and the culture is rich, and I just want to taste the local wines, who let you drink to death. Also, we are not drinking, we are standing in the long river of history and savoring the long stream. You have to drink the unique cultural heritage of the local area from a glass of wine to truly drink the local wine. ”
Speaking of wine, Tong Xiaolai couldn't hide the melancholy in his heart, shook his head and sighed: "Life is like playing with frost and temples, and it is difficult to speak of ambition with an empty bottle." It's hard to help but be bitter and lovesick, what can you ask for when you are drunk and dreaming of death? ”
The second fat said: "I can hear that my teeth are so sore." ”
Xiao Er came up and said to the two of them: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, it will take some time for the wine and food, why don't you bring you a cup of local flower tea first?" ”
"Eh, and flower tea?" Tong Xiaolai naturally didn't miss it, and happily accepted, "This relationship is good, this relationship is good." I want to see how flowery this flower tea is, does anyone have a heart? ”
Xiao Er ran to the back hall, brought a kettle, put a cup, and made a pot of local unique flower tea for the three of them.
Tong Xiaolai picked up the teacup and smelled it first, but when he saw the fragrance of flowers entering the water, the water kneaded the fragrance of flowers, the spring water was clear and self-clearing, clean as a mirror, Tong Xiaolai did not expect that a cup of flower tea could be so attractive.
The unique spring water with the unique flower tea is the best in the world.
Tong Xiaolai straightened his waist and picked up the tea, stirred the tea lid twice, blew two breaths, and his expression should be in place, and he should look decent.
This tea is so beautiful, Tong Xiaolai is already impatient, and he immediately wants to drink it.
When the fat man saw that the tea was still hot, it was strangely hot, so he said, "Big brother, this tea is not cold yet, don't be in such a hurry, right?" ”
I saw Tong Xiaolai explaining: "Eh, virtuous brother, if you don't drink this tea, you will be old." ”
Tong Xiaolai blew two more breaths, put the teacup into his mouth, took a small sip, and savored it: "Good tea, good tea, really a good cup of tea!" Hahaha. Tong Xiaolai was in a happy mood after taking a sip.
So Tong Xiaolai took another big sip and didn't swallow it yet.
At this moment, he accidentally glanced at the tea.
"Huh! Strange, there seems to be something in this? Tong Xiaolai seemed to see something.
Tong Xiaolai put down the teacup and took a closer look at the tea, his eyes suddenly widened. He was surprised to find out: there were people in the tea!
