Chapter 41: The Tavern on Fire

In the tavern, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong were staggered, Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi brothers were also drunk, they had been to the tavern many times, and it was the first time they drank wine, the key was that they didn't expect that the wine in this tavern was so wonderful, it was simply the best of Datang.

The old Li Yuan at the counter looked at a group of drunkards, fiddling with the abacus in his hand, his technique was very rusty, and he was muttering the mantra in his mouth, as if he wanted to calculate the wine money for this table.

There was no such thing as an abacus in the Tang Dynasty, which originated in the Northern Song Dynasty in history. And now, Li Yuan is the bookkeeper, he has prepared a traditional calculation, Li Yuanying said that it is cumbersome after reading it, so he used points to exchange for abacus and teach how to use it, Li Yuan shouted the artifact, so he enthusiastically learned.

Maybe it's because he's old and his learning ability has declined, so it's been half an hour, and the price of the wine at the table opposite hasn't been calculated clearly, and his brows have wrinkled into Sichuan characters.

At this moment, a flow of people gradually gathered outside the door of the tavern, and many people stopped to look outside the door, because there were four powerful guards at the door, full of evil and serious, which made people feel daunted, so many people did not dare to approach.

But there are always one or two bold ones who tentatively stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this a parent-child tavern?" ”

One of the leading guards pointed to the plaque on the door, "It says, Parent-Child Tavern!" ”

With such a businesslike attitude and a blunt tone, the questioner's heart suddenly burst out, and he didn't dare to continue asking.

Another person next to him whispered, "Can I go in and eat here?" ”

The guard took a closer look at the group of people, and raised his voice twice, "Can't eat in the tavern?" With the door open, you can eat. Are so many of you here to make trouble? See clearly, we are all veterans of the battlefield, weigh it! ”

If Li Yuanying knew that the attitude of these guard veterans would be, I don't know what their expressions would be.

With that sentence alone, half of the diners on the street were scared away.

The two people who accosted him waved their hands again and again, "Don't dare, we are here to eat, we don't dare to make trouble, we will never make trouble." ”

"If you want to eat, go in quickly, don't stand outside and block the road."

The guard next to him said loudly: "See clearly, the parent-child tavern is not received by everyone, and it must be entered with a parent-child relationship, otherwise you can't enter." ”

"Understand, know the rules, bring the dog with you, come and gain knowledge." The man reached out and pulled out a timid half-grown child from behind.

The father and son were half-active, half-frightened, and entered the tavern in a daze.

Seeing this scene, the people in the back began to stand outside the door and stretch out their heads to look, wanting to wait to see the situation.

But a few guards were not easy to mess with, and shouted loudly: "If you want to eat, hurry in, if you don't eat, get out of here, don't block here." ”

…… This attitude, I'm afraid it's not that I came to the tavern to be a guard, it's more like a competitor sent to smash the field.

These people are all veterans of a hundred battles, and when Li Junxian was there, Li Junxian was in charge, and he could manage his subordinates to maintain a pro-people atmosphere. But today, Li Yuanying let Xiaodou go into the palace to play, and Li Junxian led the team to escort him, leaving four big bosses.

In the tavern, there were no running guys, a table of fierce gods was fighting wine, and I didn't dare to ask how to order, so I turned to the account room where the counter was settled.

"Dare to ask my uncle, how to order?"

Li Yuan was reciting the abacus formula, and impatiently stretched out his hand and pointed to the sign at the door, "It's a signature dish over there, so I'm optimistic that I'll go to the back kitchen to report the meal." ”

After speaking, he continued to settle the account, slapped his head, his face was full of chagrin, and muttered in a low voice: "Where did you carry it just now?" ”

……

The father and son walked to the door to see the menu, the son knew how to read and the father didn't know how to read, and when he heard that a dish was worth a tael of silver, the father exclaimed, "Isn't it a black shop?" ”

Who said it was a black shop? A loud roar came, and the father sat directly on the ground, and when he looked back, the table where the wine was fighting stopped drinking, and the black-faced man looked at him with anger on his face.

Pulling his son behind him, the father trembled like chaff, and hurriedly apologized: "No, no, no, I ......"

"If you want to eat, order quickly, it's all delicious, and it won't let you spend money in vain." Wei Chigong nodded, turned around and continued to drink.

Seeing that the group of evil stars was appeased, the man got up with the help of his son.

"Dad, the people here are so fierce, why don't we go back?"

"Don't talk, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave without eating."

This man was probably really frightened, and took his son to the back kitchen cautiously.

Li Yuanying was sitting and resting on the horse at the door of the kitchen, and when he saw someone coming, he greeted him very warmly, and when he asked, he said that all the delicious things should be tasted.

The father and son came back and sat down, and the son reminded in a whisper: "Dad, do you really want to order it all?" I saw a dish, ten taels of silver a piece. ”

What?

Why didn't you say it earlier?

Father's face instantly wrinkled into bitter gourd color, and his heart said I brought two taels of silver, what can I do later? Shopkeeper Hu, you can kill me.

It turned out that this person was recommended by Shopkeeper Hu.

Not only him, basically today, they have all directly or indirectly heard the propaganda of the shopkeeper Hu, this shopkeeper Hu at the mouth of the alley is very enthusiastic, and has always wanted to repay Li Yuanying, but there is no shortage of money, so he thought of helping the other party's tavern to publicize it, so as to increase popularity.

Besides, the spectators at the door, when they saw the father and son sitting on the ground suddenly, they instantly made a commotion and talked about it, is this still a tavern? What's the atmosphere inside? Isn't it a black shop?

Originally, when I saw this, I should be disappointed and leave, or I was scared away a lot, but the natural nature of Chinese people, like to be lively, and prefer to watch the excitement, they are no longer looking forward to eating, and want to see what happens to the father and son.

Not long after, Li Yuanying came up with a large tray, two signature dishes, and four ordinary delicacies by himself.

"Huh? Are you just father and son? Why don't you say it earlier, in this case, you can't finish eating. Li Yuanying was surprised.

"We, we're here for the first time, and we don't know the rules."

Li Yuanying smiled bitterly: "Forget it, let's eat first." ”

After saying that, he went back to the kitchen to work, smelling the fragrance on the table, and the son asked, "Dad, do you want to eat?" ”

Where does my father have any appetite? My mind was full of how to settle the bill, and I thought to myself, if I don't eat, won't I have to pay the bill? Can I get a refund?

But when I heard the sound of wine at the next table, I immediately extinguished the thoughts in my heart, these people are too fierce, and the dishes are all up, I'm afraid it is impossible to return.

So he nodded and said, "Eat, order everything, eat quickly, you have to eat to your heart's content, it's best to finish eating." ”

The son was overjoyed and picked up the chopsticks and started quickly.

Well...... It's delicious, Dad, try it, it's really delicious! The son shouted in surprise.

"Little ghost at the next table, be quiet, don't interfere with our drinking." Wei Chigong shouted.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the child is not sensible, you forgive me." The father hurriedly apologized, then reprimanded his son, and half-convinced took a small piece of fish into his mouth.

This taste...... Absolutely!

So the curious audience outside the tavern saw a puzzling scene, what was the situation? I was almost beaten just now, and I ate so much in the blink of an eye? What's the mystery in this tavern?

A bold diner said, "Why don't you go in and try it?" ”

"Together? Try? ”

Walk!

Walk!
