Chapter 37: Back to the Tavern
Bistro.
The proprietress in a red dress, like a rose, leaned on the counter to collect money, and at the same time directed Lao Zhang to be busy.
"Lao Zhang, I'm out of wine, go to the backyard and bring two jars of wine."
"Lao Zhang, why hasn't the guest's braised pork come up yet, hurry up."
"Lao Zhang, the guests have eaten, come out and clean up the table."
"Lao Zhang ......"
"Lao Zhang ......"
……
A short, stocky, red-faced man wearing a white apron and holding a large dinner plate in both hands, was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, like a spinning top, and the guests felt distressed.
"Boss, no matter how strong Lao Zhang is, you can't use it like a cow, look at it for only a few months, Lao Zhang's neck has lost weight."
"Lao Zhang, you help the proprietress so uncomplainingly, did the proprietress give you any benefits in private?
You can't just have this kind of good thing alone, so I might as well find a time to apply for a job at the boss's wife. ”
"Boss, you really didn't hold Lao Zhang's handle?"
……
A group of regular customers made half-meat and half-vegetarian jokes, which made the proprietress scold directly.
"If you want to come and work, okay, I'll go to work tomorrow, and my mother will also give you private benefits, just give you the big mouth you liked to eat when you were a child!"
", you can't stop your mouth when you drink, tomorrow the price will be raised, and you drunkards will be starved to death in the future."
"Hahaha!!"
The tavern was filled with a convivial atmosphere for a while.
The spicy proprietress who is beautiful and has a good figure and can afford to joke is a major feature of the tavern.
But they only dare to talk about flowers, but they don't dare to really do anything.
Otherwise, Lao Zhang, who seems to be as honest as an old scalper, is not a vegetarian.
Before, a drunk diner wanted to take advantage of the proprietress, Lao Zhang didn't say a word, directly broke his legs and feet, and wailed on the street for two hours before being picked up.
The point is after the fact.
There is no loss of money, there is no yamen to arrest people, it's like nothing happens, and there is nothing to do in the tavern.
Since then, the atmosphere of the bistro has become much more harmonious, and everyone can drink without worrying about any trouble.
Suddenly.
The proprietress stared, stopped scolding the diners, and then began to chase away the customers.
"Okay, okay, my lady has a distinguished guest arriving today, you can go. Lao Zhang, come and close the door to see off the guests. ”
Diners weren't happy.
"Boss, what time is this, why did you close the door so early? We're not leaving! ”
"Yes, boss lady, it's a big deal that I won't joke with you and Lao Zhang next time."
"I haven't finished my wine yet."
"Me too, and a small half dish of soybeans."
The proprietress rolled her eyes: "Okay, okay, I won't charge you money this time, and I won't let the old lady go!" ”
"Okay, just wait for the boss's words, let's go."
"The proprietress is doing a prosperous business."
A group of people scattered birds and beasts, and by the way, they stuffed the soybeans, peanuts, and braised meat on the table into their arms, and the cups and plates were messy for a while.
Only a few regular customers glanced at the tall young man standing at the door before leaving, and there were some doubts in their hearts.
This young man looks a little familiar.
Jiang Yi, who deliberately found an inn to take a bath, shaved his beard, and cleaned himself up, smiled at the proprietress and said:
"Hostess, don't you welcome me so grandly, why did you drive the guests away?"
The proprietress rolled her eyes again, and said angrily:
"They are poor ghosts, ordering half a pot of wine and a stack of peanuts, and they will talk crookedly with the old lady.
It just so happened that I wanted to rest today, so I drove them away, don't think too much about it, I didn't rush it for you. ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Jiang Yi nodded.
When the proprietress saw him looking like an old fritter, she was immediately angry.
"Why did you come back in half a year? Didn't you say you had to be a person? Is this untenable? Thinking about the tavern?
I've said a long time ago that it's not that easy to mix up outside. ”
"Hey, hey."
Jiang Yi replied with a smirk.
The proprietress and Lao Zhang are the best people he has been to him since he crossed over and out of his sister.
What is especially important is that this kind of goodness does not carry any utilitarian benefits, but is a kind of kindness from the heart.
So when he considered that there might be a big change in Baiyun City, he still decided to come over and let the proprietress and Lao Zhang prepare early.
But when the proprietress saw Jiang Yi's smirk, she thought that he had been wronged outside, and she regretted her poisonous tongue for a while.
She bluntly changed the subject:
"Don't say anything, work hard in the tavern in the future, you will be the deputy shopkeeper in the future, let Lao Zhang help you."
"Huh?"
Lao Zhang, who finally came out of the back kitchen, suddenly looked confused.
He has worked hard for so long, why is Jiang Yi on top of him as soon as he comes back?
He looked at the proprietress with a resentful look in his eyes.
It's not fair!
The proprietress pretended not to see it.
Jiang Yiwen smiled gently: "Boss, I actually mix quite well outside, I just want to see you this time, and I will talk to you about something by the way." ”
He rolled up his sleeves and put away the leftover dishes from his diners.
"It's inconvenient here, I'll help you clean it up first, go to the backyard and say."
The proprietress frowned slightly, but she didn't object.
Lao Zhang knew Jiang Yi's purpose in practicing martial arts, so he came to Jiang Yi's side to help, and asked in a low voice by the way:
"You're coming back to say goodbye to us?"
In his opinion, it was impossible for Jiang Yi to earn 30,000 taels of silver in half a year, and there were only a few days left for the selection of the Oiran.
Then he has only one way left.
And this road is destined to die for a lifetime, so it is not surprising that he came over to say goodbye temporarily.
Jiang Yi nodded and shook his head: "Count it or not, it's mainly another thing." ”
Soon, the two cleaned up the tavern and closed the door.
……
Backyard.
"Boss, here is a thousand taels of silver, which can be regarded as repaying your kindness to me in the first place,"
Jiang Yi took out the one thousand taels extorted from Tiger Mountain, and there was not a penny left, all of which were sent to the proprietress .
The proprietress looked shocked, but did not accept it.
"Xiao Jiang, what have you been doing in the past six months, how can you have so much silver?"
Jiang Yi looked at Lao Zhang and said, "This Lao Zhang should know, Lao Zhang, have you heard of the name of the Red King?" ”
Lao Zhang shook his head very facelessly: "I haven't heard of it." ”
He lives with the proprietress every day, where does he have the spare time to listen to an underground boxer who became famous half a year ago and quickly fell lonely.
Jiang Yi: "......"
It's that he thinks too highly of himself.
"Anyway, I put all this silver together with one punch and one kick, so don't worry about the boss."
The proprietress still didn't accept it: "I took you in and let you work for nothing, but then you did help me a lot, and the lady was willing to give you the silver at the beginning, not for anything in return."
If I accept this money, what do you think of my wife? ”
She was still a little angry when she said that.
Jiang Yi smiled bitterly: "But in my eyes, this amount of silver is far from enough for your kindness to me, the boss."
But the boss lady, you are right, to repay you with silver is to tarnish the kindness of the boss lady to me in the first place. ”
He took the money back and decided to repay it later.
And he is indeed short of silver now, so he will not pretend to be generous.
Hostess: "......"
She was so angry that she secretly pinched her thigh, that's a thousand taels, how much can her tavern earn for a month.
What the hell are you pretentious?!
"Shhh
Lao Zhang gasped in pain and couldn't help but hold the hand of the proprietress.
If you have something to say, don't pinch his thigh.
The proprietress blushed slightly, but somehow didn't pull it out.
Lao Zhang immediately turned his resentment into joy, and looked at Jiang Yi with gratitude in his eyes.
I didn't make much progress after working hard for half a year, and as soon as Xiao Jiang came back, he even held the hand of the boss's wife.
Xiao Jiang is really the old man of himself and the boss's wife!
The Bodhisattva blesses, so that Xiao Jiang's wishes come true, and he is safe.
