Forty, the drunkard uncle

This hometown building, originally a simple style of the restaurant, was first built in the Ming Dynasty, for a literati gathered in the restaurant, but also into Beijing to catch the examination of the children of the foothold.

After the release of the scientific examination, some of the unsuccessful children went home here, and when they were discouraged, the shopkeeper would definitely fund some silver and give some encouragement, and did not ask for anything in return.

For more than ten years, I don't know how many candidates have been funded, but the shopkeeper has always smiled regardless of the gains and losses.

But this unintentional act of kindness, invisibly, inspired many unsuccessful moves, made them re-energize and continue their imperial examination careers.

More than ten years later, among the people who were funded that day, there were 15 people who went to the palace for the examination, more than 20 people entered the Shishi and ranked, and one person was on the list.

These once frustrated readers, at the lowest point in their lives, received financial support from this hotel owner, so that they could have the opportunity to face difficulties again and grasp the rare opportunity.

They returned to the restaurant many times to express their gratitude, but they were all rejected by the boss.

Later, many people came to the table to reward such sincere people. After verification by local officials, this restaurant was specially approved as the "Returning to the Township Building", which is the place where Handan's imperial examination matters are released and released, and has gradually become a major cultural holy place.

Returning to the hometown often reminds people of home, and there is an invisible warmth flowing in the heart.

Today's restaurant, after ten generations, during which many times encountered catastrophe, but are rebuilt after the disaster, on the one hand, there are ancestors to bless the merits, on the other hand, is the owner's family motto, with a heart of benevolence and righteousness to help the poor people.

In the hearts of the people, it has become a respectable family. When they were in trouble, assistance from all over the world quickly got them out of danger and returned to their family business.

More than 200 years of sedimentation have made the Huixiang Wang family an important family in the local area.

This restaurant has been built many times, but it still maintains a simple and heavy style, allowing many cultural celebrities to stop and linger and remember the high righteousness of the ancestors.

Crossing the toddler bridge, there is an old street behind it, where there are mostly old shops.

From afar, I saw the three vigorous words of "Huixianglou", flying in the air, like a whip to twitch the atmosphere.

It is said that this is a man who was relieved here in the past, and later became a flower tan, and deliberately left this amazing work.

Although it was written by a person who entered the earth a hundred years ago, the spiritual power during this period also shocked him, a person who is familiar with calligraphy.

Walking into the lobby, all the furnishings still maintain the wooden style, and even the recipes are wooden signs hanging in the air.

Do you remember "Wulin Gaiden"? Try to imitate the restaurant building, but the shape is similar, but how can it be compared with this century-old store.

This is a three-story restaurant, the first floor is scattered seats, a square table, a few benches, and you can feel free.

The second and third floors are private rooms and private seats, and the third floor is equipped with a warm pavilion, and the service level is not the same.

"Little brother, how many of you are there?" A young man dressed up in the hall came over to say hello with a smile.

"I'm looking for someone." Zhao Yuankang replied.

"Oh? Don't know which one you're looking for? The guy who ran the hall was slightly stunned.

"I don't know what his name is, only that he's a drunkard beggar." He said flatly.

"Oh? Uncle drunk?! The runaway man looked shocked.

"Please! Please! ”

The guy immediately had a smile on his face, and he bowed to each other, looking respectful.

This made him puzzled in his heart, originally he just had the mentality of trying it out, and he didn't have much hope for the drunkard beggar, but he didn't expect him to be so famous here.

But it's not surprising that such a century-old shop, which accepts tens of thousands of characters, has something to do with this beggar.

As for what he has to do with the hotel, it will not be revealed until I see this old guy.

The man led him around the back hall, led him into the backyard, and knocked on an old door.

After a while, there was a creak, and a small gap opened.

"The shopkeeper, this little brother, has something to find the drunkard uncle." The guy whispered.

"Wait, I'll do it." A dull voice came from inside.

After a while, the door was pushed open halfway, and out of it came a middle-aged man with a round face, slightly chubby, and glasses.

This person is cute and cute, almost invisible with small eyes, and he is wearing a long shirt over his fat body, which looks very rich.

"This little brother, what are you doing looking for his old man?"

This shopkeeper Wang is also regarded as the number one person in the local area, but he didn't expect that when he mentioned the drunkard beggar, he didn't dare to call him by his name, but called the old man respectfully, which made Zhao Yuankang even more puzzled.

Who the hell is this guy?

"I have a two-sided relationship with this old guy, this guy, he played with me twice, and he blackmailed me to eat, so I had something to do with him."

"The last time I met him, he deliberately came to me, relieved my blood, and left a message saying that if he encountered something in danger, he would come back to the township building to find him. Now, I have a big business, and I need to ask him for guidance, and I need to lead the way for the shopkeeper. ”

Zhao Yuankang briefly explained the relationship with the drunkard and beggar, but when he saw the fat face of the shopkeeper Wang, like a flower blooming, the young man was already smiling so much that he couldn't straighten his waist.

"His old man is really so unexpected, admired, admired." Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly smiled.

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper, what is your relationship with this old man?" He asked the doubts in his mind.

"I, a worldly man, am worthy to climb his old man's house? I can't tell him his name, I can only say that he is the eight-bag elder of the world's largest gang - the beggar gang. And my master is only a five-bag disciple, and as for me, it's just a three-bag disciple. The shopkeeper said sincerely.

Yes!? This guy is actually the eight-bag elder of the beggar gang?

The martial arts legends about the beggar gang have long been familiar. The beggars are strictly hierarchical, and the positions in the gang are distinguished by the number of pockets they carry, from one to nine, and they rise step by step. can reach eight bags, ranking as an elder, and is already one of the few people second only to the gang leader.

Disciples with less than five bags generally do not have any actual positions and have a low status in the gang.

"If it weren't for the fact that this Great Elder had a good life of wine, in the past two years, walking in this area, how would I have the opportunity to serve his old man."

The king's shopkeeper smiled, and his eyes were squeezed out with a fleshy face, which made him feel the shrewdness and calculation of a businessman.

"Then please lead the way, I want to see this master."

He didn't want the king's shopkeeper to have a low status in the Yi Gang, he just talked to the beggars as his peers, more casual and frivolous.

"Yes, yes, please little brother, say a few more kind words for me in the future, after all, we are all fellow countrymen." The fat shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said very stubbornly.

"I see, I'll talk about it later." He was noncommittal, and followed the king's shopkeeper left and right, through a bamboo forest in the backyard, and into a courtyard shaped like a temple.

"Third Elder, are you there? There was a little brother surnamed Zhao who came to visit. The king's shopkeeper called softly, for fear of disturbing the drunkard and beggar, and sending down a punishment.

"What? Sir, am I sleeping soundly? Whoever comes, tell him to wait. ”

Sure enough, it was the drunkard beggar who said impatiently.

"Old friend, why didn't you even see me?" Zhao Yuankang hurriedly stepped forward and asked loudly.

"What about you? I can't protect myself, do you still have the confidence to threaten me? ”

Zhao Yuankang originally wanted to shock the beggar, but he didn't expect to be speechless by his words.

Isn't it? I am in danger and have a request for others, but I am so arrogant, it is indeed a bit rude.

"Shopkeeper Wang, please excuse me, prepare some roast chicken, cooked beef, and the most important thing is a pound of old white dry, send it to us, and I will invite him to drink a drink." He hurriedly restrained his expression and instructed the king's treasurer.

"How can I let you invite, when you come to me, it is naturally my old filial piety. Dezi, go down and prepare, I'll take my leave first. ”

Shopkeeper Wang and his fellow men exchanged glances and left the backyard with interest.

"Tell me, come to me for something." The beggar, half-reclining in a rocking chair, asked lazily.

"You've heard of Zhan Lu Jian, right?" Zhao Yuankang asked.

"Of course I do."

"This time, I just discussed with you to find this peerless divine sword."

"It's a good deal!"

The beggar stepped forward excitedly, swished, jumped up to him, and grabbed his hand.

"Go, come in with me, and think about it in the long run."

The beggar did not want to tell him and dragged him into a dilapidated house.
