Chapter 255: Snowy Night Wine Shop
It's cold and frozen, and it's inaccessible.
At nightfall, the sky is full of snowflakes again.
When it snows, wait for it to come.
It's coming, and it's dead.
I thought that when I was going to eat and sleep out tonight, a small wine shop next to the road was like charcoal in the snow.
The broken "wine" banner swayed in the wind, the hall was brightly lit, and the stables on the side were empty, and there seemed to be no visitors.
I'm not afraid that it's a black shop, with the sword in Jiang Yuntian's hand, the bandits have to turn into local chickens.
Jiang Yuntian pushed open the door of the tavern and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Little Er, quickly warm a pot of wine to drive away the cold!"
Before they crossed the threshold, a man in a cloth jacket hurriedly walked out of the counter, stopped them sideways, and said a salute: "Yo, guest officer, I'm really sorry, our store will not welcome customers tonight." β
In the inn, there were two other young men, and there were four tables, which were quite shabby, but the tables were full of dishes, wine and meat, and they were quite sumptuous.
Jiang Yuntian was not happy, pointed to the banner on the pole outside the house and said, "You opened the restaurant on the side of the road, and you said that you don't welcome guests, so let's play!" β
Then he will enter the house.
The shopkeeper insisted on not letting him in, and explained: "No, guest officer, it's seven days tonight, and we don't accept foreign customers, so you better go to invest elsewhere." β
Jiang Yuntian raised his eyebrows, "You put so many drinks and dishes, is it because someone in your family has died, and the first seven souls tonight?" β
The shopkeeper immediately lost his good face, "Where can you say such unlucky words, tonight is every seventh, the seventh, the seventeenth, and the twenty-seventh of each month, all of which are the days when the Ma family caravan passes, and you want to stay overnight in our small shop, if you come one day late, I will entertain you, and they have chartered the field." β
"Oops! Why don't you know how to be flexible? In this snowy night, where is there another place to stay, and there are not many of us, how about you vacate a room and stay? β
"No, no, no! There are only a few small shop rooms, where can they be squeezed out? Don't embarrass us, two miles ahead, there's an earthen kiln, where can I shelter from the wind and snowβ"
"Ge Laozi, you let Lao Tzu go to the kiln!"
Jiang Yuntian grabbed the shopkeeper's collar, raised his sword, and glared, "Do you want to test if my sword is sharp?" β
Seeing this, the two little servants each took out a wooden stick from the counter, but the shopkeeper was not afraid, gritted his teeth and said:
"Guest officer, do you know why I dare to open this store within a radius of dozens of miles? I'm not even afraid of the Woko, and I'm not afraid of you! β
"Hey! It's still a hard stubbleβ"
If Jiang Yuntian makes a move, where can he have a living mouth?
Without waiting to draw his sword, Song Che first took a piece of silver, shook it in front of the shopkeeper's eyes, and said with a smile:
"As the saying goes, a good store doesn't sweep the front of the door, the shopkeeper you see if this will work, add a small table, cook three bowls of beef noodles for us, we eat first, if the people of the Ma family come, mention it to them first, if they agree with us to live, if they don't agree with us to leave."
Who can't get along with money?
The shopkeeper grabbed the silver and muttered, "There is no beef, only somen noodles to eat?"
Song Che pointed to the carriage outside the house and said with a smile: "Horses are also vegetarians. β
The servant brought a small table, put it down in the corner, and the three of them sat down.
"Damn, five taels of silver, three bowls of somen noodles, what's the difference between grabbing it?" Jiang Yuntian stared at the sumptuous wine and food on the table next to him, and his heart was very unhappy.
Song Che said: "After all, it was the people who took the field first, and on this cold day, it would be good to have a hot mouth." β
"Where is this Ma family sacred, Taizhou is not as good as Chuzhou, there are still Japanese pirates, they still dare to do business at night, four tables of wine and food, there are about 20 people, right? With such a large caravan, aren't you afraid of being robbed? β
Jiang Yuntian's doubts were also Song Che's doubts.
"I'm curious, too."
Soon, the steaming noodles were served on the table, and there was really no lump of meat, not even a pitiful amount of oil.
Coco took out the jerky from the baggage and divided it into two portions and threw it into Jiang Yuntian and Song Che's bowls, which can also be regarded as a meat.
"Little Nizi, how old are you?" Jiang Yuntian asked.
Coco said, "Twelve years old. β
"This is an age when the body grows, you must know that if a woman does not make up for it at this age, she will not grow up in the future, and if a woman is a flat horse, most of them will not be able to pick a good man."
Jiang Yuntian smiled and threw the jerky into Coco's bowl.
Coco may not understand it very well, but he still glanced at Jiang Yuntian: "You hate it the most."
Song Che laughed and gave the jerky in the bowl to Coco.
Coco blushed and said, "Mr. is the best." β
If it weren't for the mother-in-law thinking about holding her grandson, Song Che would actually prefer her daughter more.
When I think of my family, my thoughts can't help but drift thousands of miles away, and the New Year will be more than a month away, and I don't know if I can catch up with that reunion dinner after this experience.
"Whew-"
The door was pushed open.
"Huhuhu......"
The wind and snow blew into the inn, a group of men wearing mink velvet broke in, the leader was about thirty years old, the scar on his face from the corner of his eyes to the chin, his eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness, holding a buckle knife, two words "rough".
The other men also carried swords, and their already strong bodies were wrapped in thick cotton jackets, and the guest hall instantly became small.
If it weren't for the fact that there were cars and horses parked outside the door, they would prefer to believe which gang they were.
"Yo, Ma Jiuye is here, ...... Serve hot dishes and shochu! "The shopkeeper greeted him warmly.
The little guy brought a few large jars of steaming soju, and the man with the scar didn't wait for the wine to be served, grabbed it and swallowed a few mouthfuls, and then shouted: "Refreshing!" Then he put the wine jar on the table, grabbed the beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it so rudely.
The other men are similar, gobbling up like starving ghosts and reincarnating.
Song Che's somen noodles with clear soup and little water in their hands were not fragrant in an instant.
"Little Er!"
Jiang Yuntian greeted loudly: "Lao Tzu is also thirsty, hurry up and send the altar of soju!" β
The little guy lowered his voice, "Guest officer, the wine is sold out......"
"And what are they drinking? Is it urine? Jiang Yuntian pointed to the scarred face who was drinking happily at the table next to him.
"Humph!"
The man with the scar slapped the table suddenly, but he asked the shopkeeper: "Ding Er, if you don't stay any guests on every seventh day, where did these idlers come from?" β
The shopkeeper explained: "Ninth Master, he ...... They are...... It's sharp, and it'll be gone soonβ"
"Smack!"
Without waiting for the words to finish, the man with the scar slapped the shopkeeper's fan twice, and scolded: "Things that don't have a long memory, Lao Tzu is doing a big deal, the world is so chaotic, what if it is remembered by unscrupulous people?" β
The shopkeeper covered his face and looked at Song Che aggrievedly: "Guest officer? The horses are fed, so let's go......"
Jiang Yuntian grabbed the sword!
The men are holding knives one after another!
