Chapter Fifty-Six: Fame Spreads

The middle-aged man took the lead and sat down and said to a person next to him, "Lao Zhang, how is it, it's not ordinary" The person named Lao Zhang nodded and said, "This trick is good, but I don't know how the craftsmanship is" After speaking, he slapped the table vigorously and said, "Do you say this table is real?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Didn't you just try it?"

Lao Zhang said, "I think it's real, it's quite strong, and this material is not bad."

"You, don't worry about this, I'll let you taste what it means to be a must."

Lao Zhang said suspiciously, "It's really as delicious as you say."

The middle-aged man said, "Aren't you here?

"By the way, Lao Li, how did you know about this stall?"

The middle-aged man, Lao Li, said with satisfaction, "I passed by here yesterday and happened to meet them opening, so I came over to see them for a while, and then" Lao Li didn't finish laughing out loud.

Soon, Ah Ghost baked 10 skewers, Xiao Xi put them on a plate, sent them over and said, "The fish is baked, you taste it first" Lao Li nodded, then picked up a bunch and began to eat, with a satisfied look on his face and said, "Yes, that's the taste"

Lao Zhang picked up a skewer of grilled fish and said, "Just such a small skewer costs 10 copper coins?" Lao Li said vaguely, "Don't ink, I invite you today, hurry up and eat" Lao Zhang took a bite gently, and soon Lao Zhang's face also showed satisfaction.

"How is it? Lao Zhang, I didn't lie to you."

Lao Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, the taste is really special, I have never tasted such a taste" At this time, the actual people also began to eat a bunch of them, and soon everyone showed a satisfied smile.

After eating a bunch, Lao Zhang found that there was no longer anything on the plate, and said with some disappointment: "Why is it gone?"

The people around laughed, and Lao Li said, "It's okay, boss, let's have another 20 strings"

A ghost said, "Okay, wait a minute"

After a long time, a few people left satisfied, and a few people ordered a total of nearly 100 skewers of grilled fish. Before leaving, Lao Zhang said to Xiao Xi, "I'll come back in the future, and when the time comes, I'll bring you some guests too" Xiao Xi hurriedly nodded happily.

The fragrance of fish was elegant, overflowing all around, even the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city smelled the fragrance, and Ah Ghost sent them a few strings in the hope that they could take care of it more, and several soldiers also nodded again and again.

After half a day, the grilled fish of 50 fish was quickly sold out, and Xiaoxi happily held a bunch of copper coins. Ah Ghost thought for a while and said, "Xiaoxi, you take Xiao Ming to the city to buy some clothes or something, buy some other food casually, and bring some for grandpa, I'll go back first."

Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go, won't you go with us?"

"I'll go back first, I still have some things to do, I want to go back, you remember to come back early"

Xiao Xi nodded, and then took Xiao Ming into the city, and after watching Xiao Xi enter the city, Ah Ghost put away his things and went home.

A ghost did not go home directly, but went to the woods, because there are still a lot of furniture that has not been done, at night, when a ghost came home, he found that Xiao Ming was wearing a new clothes and playing happily, Xiao Ming saw a ghost coming back and hurriedly ran over and said, "Brother a ghost, you are back" A ghost gently touched Xiao Ming's head and said, "Yes, how is it, are you happy to enter the city today?"

"Well, I'm so happy, my sister bought me a lot of things today, you see, this is my new clothes, I haven't worn new clothes for a long time" At this time, Xiao Xi also heard the sound and walked out, Xiao Xi also wore a new dress, which looked very beautiful, showing the beauty of a young woman, A ghost looked at it and said, "Xiao Xi, you look so good in this dress"

"Really?" Xiao Xi said happily, "I also bought one for you, I'll bring it to you to try" After speaking, Xiao Xi ran into the house.

Soon Xiao Xi came out with a white dress and said, "Look, this is what I bought for you, you can wear it and try it" Ah Ghost took the clothes and looked at them, but he didn't immediately change them and said, "Xiao Xi, thank you, but I can't wear this dress now"

"Ahh

"Look at me, I have to work every day, how easy it is to get dirty in this white dress, and it is difficult to wash"

"Oh, I forgot about it," Xiao Xi was a little embarrassed

"It's okay, I'll wear it again when I have a chance in the future" After speaking, Ah Ghost put away his clothes, Xiao Ming saw this and said, "Brother Ah Ghost, your tricks are getting more and more powerful, can you teach me"

Ah Ghost smiled and said, "It's not a trick, but I'll teach you when you grow up."

"Really?" Xiao Ming jumped up happily.

Ah Ghost and Xiao Xi glanced at each other, and then went into the house. After entering the house, Ah Ghost found that Xiaoxi had bought a lot of things, and had bought several sets of clothes for his grandfather, and he smiled happily.

For several days, Ah Ghost sold grilled fish with Xiaoxi in the morning, and when he came back in the afternoon, he went to the woods to make furniture. After a few days, Ah Gui's grilled fish began to be gradually spread, and soon spread throughout most of Huaiyang City, most people know that there is a grilled fish restaurant at the south entrance of the city, and the grilled fish is a must.

Xiaoxi's name also began to spread slowly.

This morning, Ah Ghost and Xiao Xi still came to the old place, and when they were ready, Ah Ghost started to work, while Xiao Xi took care of the guests.

Soon after, five or six young people came to the city gate, and several people watched at the city gate for a long time, and this was one of them, "Big brother, this is the grilled fish shop, the business is good, and now many people in the city know about it."

The man called the eldest brother said, "Ergou, are you sure there are just a few of them"

"Well, I've checked, they're from the village outside, the woman's name is Xiaoxi, the man's name is a ghost, and there's a little kid with no background."

"Okay, then I'll look at my eyes later" After speaking, a few people walked over, Xiao Xi was still busy taking care of the guests, a few people casually found an empty table and sat down, the one called the boss said, "Boss, come 30 skewers of grilled fish" After Xiao Xi saw it, he hurriedly ran over and said, "A few wait a minute, I'll come soon"

This is the person named Ergou looked at Xiao Xi and said, "Big brother, this girl looks pretty good, do you want to" After speaking, he reached out and pulled Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi hurriedly took two steps back and said, "What are you doing?"

At this time, the person who called the eldest brother said, "Ergou, don't worry, stay aside."

Soon, the fish was baked, and after Xiao Xi took the fish over, he hurriedly walked away, but the second dog still looked at Xiao Xi with squints. made Xiaoxi scared for a while. Xiaoxi walked up to Ah Ghost and said softly, "Ah Ghost, look at those people"

"What's wrong?"

"They" Xiao Xi was a little difficult to speak, but in the end Xiao Xi still didn't say anything. Ah Ghost looked at a few people and continued their work again.

Ergou ate a bunch of fish and said, "Big brother, this tastes really good," and several other people also nodded in agreement. After a while, the fish was eaten, and at this time, the person called the eldest brother said, "Okay, you can start, Ergou, you go first" The person called Ergou got up and walked in front of Ah Ghost and Xiaoxi and said, "Boss, how much"

"A total of 300 copper coins," Xiaoxi said

When the second dog heard this, he shouted, "What? Just a few strings of fish cost 300 copper coins? Do you know whose territory this is?"

Xiao Xi was a little puzzled and said, "Whose territory is this?"

"This is your Brother Niu's territory, do you see it, that's Brother Niu" Ergou pointed to the young man called Big Brother.

"What does that have to do with us?"

"It has nothing to do with you? Have you paid your protection money?"

"What protection money"

"Don't play dumb with me, you just say whether to pay it today or not"

Ah Ghost stopped what he was doing and looked at a few people. Under the black cloth, no one knew that Ah Ghost's face began to change at this time.

"How much do you have to pay," Xiao Xi looked at a few people and said with some fear.

"10 taels of silver a month," the second dog lion opened his mouth.

"Ah, so many?" Xiao Xi's face changed.

"If you know each other, hurry up and pay the protection fee," Ergou continued to urge.

Xiao Xi's face was a little ugly. At this time, Ah Ghost walked over and said, "If I don't pay it?"
