Chapter Forty-Eight: Clever Worms and Delicate Ghosts

Huang Feng's cave is outside the city, more than 10,000 miles away from Longwei City, according to the division of cities and villages, that is, remote rural areas, but it is normal to think about it, whoever occupies the mountain will choose to be in the big city, and it is generally a thief who is poor and bad.

After a night's rest, the rain still did not stop, but it was much lighter, and it became a drizzle, although it did not affect the hurry, but Hu Hou still decided to stay in Longwei City for one more day, anyway, he came here for fun, and he was not here to deal with any specific things, so he was not in a hurry.

After Sai Taisui met his fellow disciples, he was extremely excited, and came to the door early to invite Hu Hou and a few people to go to the restaurant in the city to have a drink.

When he first heard the name Jinyinlou, Hu Hou even thought that it was a store specializing in selling jewelry, but he never thought that this was the name of a restaurant, and it was a very famous restaurant in Longwei City, but the owner was a partnership between two brothers, and the names were Jinjiao and Yinjiao.

At this time, an interesting phenomenon was discovered, all merchants who opened stores like to name their stores with their own names, such as "Dali Beef Shop" is named after Niu Dali, and "Wang Xiaoer Store" and "Zhao Widow Shop", as soon as you hear the name of the store, you will know what the name of the owner is.

The names of the latter two stores are easy to understand, it is a shop opened by Wang Xiaoer and Widow Zhao, no matter what he sells, as long as he knows that it is a shop opened by these two people, and the name of "Vigorous Beef Shop" is a bit unbelievable, is it that if you eat the beef of this beef shop, your strength will become greater? The same is true for Jinyinlou, if you first come here, when you are not familiar with life, you will definitely go to this store name if you want to buy gold and silver jewelry.

Hu Hou even thought with bad taste, if a person named cotton opened a cotton shop, but it sold baked cakes, when he asked where to sell baked cakes in Longwei City, and when others said that of course it was the century-old cotton store, I don't know how many people would be stunned.

The gold and silver building was indeed very large and very high, and the ox tried hard to look up, and when he looked at the roof, the rain fell from the sky, pouring a mouthful of rainwater into his open mouth, and he was so panicked that he hurriedly spit out the rainwater in his mouth and put the umbrella above his head.

The traffic outside the store is bustling, and it is very lively, although Longwei City is now chaotic and business is depressed, there are still a few shops, which are still full of customers and business, and there are good forces in the local area.

After a guy in the shop saw Hu Hou and the others, he greeted him warmly, "A few guest officers, please, upstairs or downstairs? Do you need a seat by the window on the street? Or do you want a seat that can watch the play? The little one is called a clever worm, if you need anything, just ask." ”

People are as their name suggests, they are really clever enough, this is the person who does business, unlike the "Wang Xiaoer Store" who relies on relatives to serve in the heavenly court, and treats customers seriously, and sooner or later it will close down because of relatives.

Hu Hou doesn't like to watch plays, he just likes to sit by the window and listen to the rain quietly, looking at the faces of all the beings on the street, and interpreting the world. Alas, when people reach a certain realm, their mentality is different.

Sai Taisui suddenly shouted, "Senior brother, look." The little lady with a pink umbrella on the street looks like a ......."

"Where?" Hu Hou didn't care about Sai Taisui's words, and before he finished speaking, he stuck his head out of the window and looked vigorously into the street downstairs.

"I just entered the rouge shop opposite. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier. Hu Hou said angrily, and then screamed loudly, "Ah...... It hurts. ”

Peach Blossom stepped on Hu Hou's feet dissatisfied, and Hu Hou immediately changed his words, "Why didn't you say it earlier, let me see what kind of style the pink umbrella is, I think pink is very compatible with your senior sister Xuanqing." Senior sister, in fact, senior brother has long wanted to buy you a pink umbrella. ”

"Hmph. Peach Blossom turned her head and ignored it, and Sai Tai Sui hurriedly shouted: "Clever worm, clever worm, why don't you serve the food yet?"

"Come on. The clever insect brought the dish up, "I'm sorry, I made the guest wait for a long time, you use it slowly, and the rest of the dishes will arrive immediately." ”

"Clever worm, where is there a shop selling pink umbrellas in this Dragon Tail City. Hu Hou stopped the clever worm who was leaving.

"Guest officer, where are the pink umbrellas sold, the small ones don't know, but the largest umbrella shop in the city is called the one-legged ghost shop, and I want to come there to have the umbrellas that the guest officers need. After leaving the store, turn left for 500 meters and go straight to the right. ”

After the clever worm left, Hu Hou said: "Senior sister, do you say that the name of the one-legged ghost shop is a little funny......

Peach Blossom said coldly: "What's so funny, isn't the one-legged ghost an umbrella?"

"Senior sister is so smart, I didn't even guess it, senior brother?" Hu Hou said hurriedly.

"Eat. Peach Blossom slapped the table.

Hu Hou also shouted: "Eat, haven't you heard my junior sister speak?

The table was full of people speechless, who was still talking, Sai Tai Sui was so weak that he didn't dare to drink the wine, who let this guy shout Hu Hou to see the beauty?

At this time, the guest at the next table shouted, "Fine-grained ghost, settle the bill." ”

The guy in the shop, who was called the fine ghost, hurriedly ran upstairs and said, "Guest officer, have you eaten well?" ”

The guest said: "The taste is not bad, I will come to visit next time, but there is something wrong with this account." ”

The fine ghost hurriedly said: "The small one has been calculated three times, and I don't dare to make any mistakes, but if the guest officer thinks that something is wrong, he can correct it." ”

The guest said, "Did I just ask for a braised Tianhe flying fish?"

The fine ghost nodded and said: "The guest officer is right, you just asked for a braised Tianhe flying fish, but when it was served, you felt that it was too big, and you were afraid that one person would not be able to use it up, so you asked the small one to be brought back." ”

"Well, that's right, I returned the braised Tianhe flying fish to you. So now let me ask you, how many taels of silver does the braised Tianhe flying fish cost?"

"Guest officer, the braised Tianhe flying fish costs one hundred and fifty taels of silver. ”

"That means I returned one hundred and fifty taels of silver to you?"

"The guest officer is right, he returned one hundred and fifty taels of silver to the small one. ”

"In that case, why do you still ask me for money? I gave you one hundred and fifty taels of silver, but now you should have asked me for seventy taels of silver, in addition to the eighty taels of silver I ate." ”

After thinking for a while, the fine ghost apologized: "It seems that the small one has miscalculated, and the small one will find seventy taels of silver to give to the guest officer, sorry for the guest officer, please go slowly." ”

The guest took the silver recovered by the fine ghost and ran downstairs quickly, Hu Hou laughed, this fine ghost is not fine at all!

Peach Blossom said to Hu Hou angrily: "Senior brother, do you still have a sense of justice, seeing that the liar is deceiving people, not only does he speak up, but he also secretly laughs at it. ”

Hu Hou didn't dare to laugh anymore, knowing that Peach Blossom's sense of justice had exploded again, and sure enough, he saw her call the fine ghost to explain it, and the fine ghost ran downstairs with a roar after hearing it.

After a while, I heard someone downstairs shouting loudly: "Clever worm, you and the fine ghost take the Bashan Tiger and the Yihai Dragon, and go with me to bring back the liar who suffered a thousand knives and skin him." ”

Hu Hou stretched out his head to look out the window, only to see the clever worm and the fine ghost running out of the store with two men who looked like thugs, thinking that the liar was going to be unlucky now, look at the two individuals of the Bashan Tiger and the Yihai Dragon, each carrying a big axe in their hands, the momentum is terrifying, and the person will be skinned halfway through.

After everyone watched the excitement, they continued to sit down to eat and drink, but downstairs walked up two people wearing gold ingots and silver copper coin suits, and the two claimed to be the owners of the restaurant, saying that they were here to thank you for your righteous words just now.

The boss of the Golden Horn and the boss of the Silver Horn not only sent two dishes for free, but also accompanied them to eat three glasses of wine.

Hu Hou was surprised by the speed of this return, but he didn't see anyone being brought back, could it be that he didn't find the liar?

But I saw Lingli Worm report: "Boss, we found that person at the corner of the street just now, but he said that we recognized the wrong person, and it was his brother who cheated, not his brother, but the two looked very similar." He also said that if it was him, he would definitely not stand at the corner of the street at this time, and he would not have to hide far away, but he was very angry when he heard this, and decided to arrest his brother back and let us dispose of it, but his brother's hiding place was far away, and he needed to borrow five taels of silver from us to take the car, and I thought that we would ask his brother for money anyway, and when his brother was caught, he could ask for more money, so he borrowed five taels of silver for the carriage and horse money to him, and told him to go early and return early. ”

Hu Hou almost vomited blood, this clever insect deserves to be called Lingli, so he simply changed his name to the foolish worm and asked him to take someone to catch the liar, but the person was not caught, but was deceived of five taels of silver, alas! When he entered the restaurant, he secretly boasted about him.

Peach Blossom was also stunned, and opened her mouth for a long time before she could say a word, "Alas! You have been deceived again." ”

The clever worm hurriedly asked what was going on, and Peach Blossom had to explain to them again, and after listening to the golden horn and the silver horn, they sighed dejectedly and said: "That's it, that's it, the liar ran away, it's all because we don't take strict precautions on weekdays, even if we spend money to sell a lesson this time, right?" ”

After Peach Blossom waited for them all to leave, she said to Hu Hou: "Senior brother, I think that Golden Horn Boss and Silver Horn Boss are really good people. ”

Of course, Hu Hou knew what Peach Blossom was trying to express, if it was himself, the clever worm and the fine ghost might have been scolded for a long time, deducting the salary of the month, and maybe the two of them would be fired directly in a fit of anger. But the golden horn and the silver horn just sighed, and told the clever worms and fine ghosts not to be fooled again in the future, not even scolding, as if the responsibility is not on the employee, it is all on the boss, where to find this kind of good thing, I'm afraid even relatives are not so good to talk to, right?

Peach Blossom was probably amused by the clever insects and fine ghosts, and temporarily forgot about Hu Hou's peeking at the beautiful woman just now, and asked: "Why don't you drink and patronize the meal, Brother Jinpeng, don't you like to drink the most? Why haven't you drunk a cup today?"

How dare Jin Peng say that your aunt and grandmother, you were angry just now! Everyone didn't dare to speak, how dare they mention drinking, didn't they see Sai Tai Sui burying his head in the bowl all the time, and couldn't he see the right to drink next to the bowl?

"Eat wine, eat wine. "Jinpeng was busy pouring wine for everyone.
