Chapter 30: The Inn
"Yo, do the two guest officers want to fight or stay in the hotel?" As soon as the two walked in, a smiling shopkeeper greeted them.
Yang Zixian glanced at him, took out a small ingot of gold from his body and threw it in his hand, and said lightly: "Lead me two fast horses, and then prepare a wine and food, be fast." ”
The shopkeeper was holding the little gold ingot, and his eyes were already shining, and he was very happy. But after listening to Yang Zixian's words, he was a little embarrassed: "I'm really embarrassed, this girl, there are only three horses in this store, and they have all been requisitioned by the town, and there are really no horses to sell." ”
Yang Zixian was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting this situation. Shicai has already circled around this Tsing Yi town, this town is not big, it is not small, but there is only one inn, so I thought about walking in and seeing.
Unexpectedly, the only horses in the only inn in the town were borrowed, and he did not speak immediately.
At this time, the shopkeeper standing behind the counter, after seeing the ingot of gold thrown by Yang Zixian, also walked out with a smile and said, "This girl, take the liberty to disturb me." The old man is the shopkeeper here, and tomorrow we will hold the River Lantern Festival in our town, and we need to buy a large number of supplies from Wanyang City, so the horses in the small shop are lent to the town. If not, the girl will stay in the shop for one night, and wait until tomorrow morning, as soon as the horses to Wanyang City come back, I will let Xiao Er lead you, do you think it's okay?"
Yang Zixian pondered slightly for a moment after hearing this, and finally glanced back at Shi Xin before asking the shopkeeper, "Let me ask you, are you sure that this horse can come back tomorrow morning?"
The old shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "Girl, rest assured, our store operates in good faith, and the horses will definitely come back tomorrow morning, definitely." ”
"Well, I'll stay in your shop for the night and wait for the horses to come back tomorrow morning. But if this horse doesn't come back tomorrow and mistakes me, I'll not just tear down your shop!"
Although she is young and beautiful, this intimidation is not something that ordinary people can bear. Even Shi Xin shivered coldly behind him, not to mention the shopkeeper and Xiao Er.
I saw that the shopkeeper hurriedly apologized: "No, no...... The horses will come back tomorrow, and as soon as they come back, I will personally lead you to the young lady, do you think it will be done?"
Yang Zixian softened the expression on his face at this time, nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, then prepare a table of wine and food for us first, and then prepare two clean upper rooms." ”
The shopkeeper got the order, and immediately whispered to the little two beside him: "What are you still standing for, why don't you go and prepare wine and food for the young lady!"
The shopkeeper listened to the shopkeeper's shout, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes......" Then he bent down and respectfully led Yang Zixian and Shi Xin to a clean table and sat down.
"The two guest officers will wait for a while, and the little one will go and prepare food and drinks for the two of them......" The shopkeeper served tea to the two of them, and was about to retreat after speaking.
Yang Zixian seemed to think of something again, and turned around and called him back.
The shopkeeper immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Does the young lady have any other orders?"
Shi Xin on the side had just taken a sip of tea at this time, and when he saw that Yang Zixian suddenly called the shopkeeper back, he also looked at her.
Yang Zixian pondered slightly, glanced at the street, and said, "I heard that there is a famous dish in your Tsing Yi town called 'Mu Youzhi', do you have this dish in this shop?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, the expression on his face was also a lot proud, and he gave a thumbs up with a smile and said: "Miss is really good eyesight, although our inn is small, it is a century-old shop, and the signature dish is this 'wood and branches'." You've come to the right place!"
"Then give us another 'wood with branches'. She said lightly.
"Cheng, Cheng, the small one will notify the kitchen to prepare it for you. After he finished speaking, he took the rag in his hand and slowly retreated.
Shi Xin saw that the shopkeeper had retreated, and looked around again, before he asked Yang Zixian in a low voice, "...... you Where did you get so many taels of silver?"
Yang Zixian's soft lips opened slightly, and she slowly tasted the fragrance of tea before saying, "Why do you care so much?"
"I'm afraid that your gold will come from the wrong way......"
It turned out that Shi Xin really thought that the girl in front of him was just a small ordinary disciple of Linxian Island. He has been learning Taoism in Tianqi Mountain since he was a child, and he is very thrifty, and he doesn't have a copper plate on his body, and even this time he went down the mountain is a coil taken out of the hall by the senior brother He Laifeng.
However, when he saw that Yang Zixian, who was also a disciple of the cultivator, he took a small ingot of gold in his hand, and he was generous, so he couldn't help but be suspicious.
Yang Zixian listened to half of the words, and the tea in her mouth almost spurted out angrily, and she said: "I, I am a ...... of the owner of Linxian Island" She was about to say something to refute Shi Xin, but suddenly stopped talking.
Seeing this, Shi Xin was even more strange, and said softly, "What did you just say?"
Yang Zixian slowly put the tea in his hand on the table, and the corners of his mouth moved, before he said: "Don't worry, I don't steal or rob this gold, it's my own, and it's definitely not some ill-gotten gain." ”
Originally, Shi Xin still wanted to ask a few questions, but after getting along in the past few days, he also understood this woman's temperament more or less, so he kept silent.
After a while, he seemed to remember something, and raised his head again to Yang Zixian and asked, "You have so much silver, why did you give Xiao Chuan the jade pendant you carry?"
At this time, Yang Zixian glanced at him blankly, and patiently explained to him: "That fisherman's father and son are simple people, if I directly repay them with silver, first, they will not accept it, and second, a poor fisherman suddenly gets a gold ingot, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, and maybe it will bring them a lot of trouble." Moreover, my jade pendant is made of high-quality water jade, and if they don't have a good life in the future, they can find a pawnshop and exchange it for a lot of silver taels. She took another sip of tea.
After listening to her words, Shi Xin nodded in a sudden understanding.
Originally, he wanted to say a few words of praise to this woman, but unexpectedly, Yang Zixian had already glared at him and said, "If you ask one more question, you will sleep on the street tonight!"
Shi Xin was dumbfounded, and said that this person had to bow his head under the eaves, and he bowed his head if he didn't have money under the eaves, and this would not be fulfilled. In my heart, I silently recited the words "good men don't fight with women" and "good men don't fight with women" to calm down.
At this moment, the shopkeeper had already begun to bring the dishes up, and also put a small pot of good wine on the table.
In the past few days, Shi Xin and Yang Zixian have escaped death. Yang Zixian's daughter's house slept in the firewood room for two nights, not to mention, she only ate fish for two days at the fisherman Brother Zhang's house, although this was still Brother Zhang's best hospitality to them.
However, the two of them are not cats after all, and after eating several meals in a row, it is inevitable that they will have a little greasy, but in order to live up to their hospitality, they have not complained.
But now that I have come to this Tsing Yi Town Inn, I saw a table of wine and food with all the colors and flavors, and I couldn't help but move my index fingers.
