Chapter 35: Everyone Has His Own Ambition
"Bang bang."
"Shopkeeper Liu, congratulations!"
"Rejoice and rejoice, shopkeeper Wang, please sit inside, the tea is brewed early, and I will wait for you to come......"
The sound of red firecrackers blew up puffs of gunsmoke, and the disaster-ridden Yuelai Inn finally reopened.
Shopkeeper Liu wore the festive new clothes worn by Liu Mang on the day of his marriage, and stood at the door of the inn with a red face, greeting the neighbors who came to cheer.
In the front hall of the inn, Yang Ge, the shopkeeper and junior second and the hallkeeper, greeted the guests while passing the food ordered by the guests into the back kitchen, and was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
"Old shopkeeper, congratulations......"
"Guest, please sit inside."
In the midst of his busyness, Yang Ge suddenly heard a familiar voice, turned his head to glance, and saw Fang Ke, dressed as a rich boy, leading an embroidered guard dressed as a Lihan, swaggering into the door.
He hurriedly squeezed out a smile to greet him, and made a "please" gesture: "Guest officer, please take a seat!" ”
Fang Ke arched his hand with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Shopkeeper Yang, the brothers will have to bother you to take care of it in the future!" ”
Yang Ge glared at this guy secretly, and said verbally: "Where is it, Fang is too polite, please sit down, if you want to eat something, I will order the kitchen to cook it for you, and keep it to your satisfaction!" ”
Fang Ke shrunk his neck and forced a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, if you work hard, you can eat enough...... There's a place over there, let's go sit over there! ”
When Shopkeeper Liu heard the conversation between the two, he stepped back to the counter with some curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, do you recognize these guest officers?" ”
Yang Ge replied vaguely: "The leader is the leader of the slender man on the side of the Bianhe River, and he has dealt with him a few times, so he is not very familiar with it." ”
Shopkeeper Liu patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said: "If you deal with it more, you will be familiar, go and tell the back kitchen to give them enough portions, and those who eat labor meals must have a large amount of food." ”
Yang Ge answered and went to beckon Fang Ke and the others to order.
Only the shopkeeper Liu was left at the door, muttering and scolding, "Wang Dali, who suffered from the plague, where did he go".
Yang Ge approached Fang Ke and the others, and while pouring tea for them, he greeted: "Several, what do you want to eat, the small pig's head meat and the fragrance of the bottle are a must...... How did you guys get here? ”
Fang Ke: "Then come two catties of pig's head meat, four more vegetarian dishes, three catties of fragrant bottles, and two drawers of steamed buns, hurry up, the brothers have to rush back to work...... If you are promoted to the manager, of course we have to come to cheer you on! ”
Yang Ge: "Hey, I'll be here soon...... Thank you so much! ”
He turned around and was about to leave, but Fang Ke slapped his arm and stuffed an object into his waist without making a trace.
Yang Ge stopped and glanced at him.
Fang Ke silently pointed to the ceiling.
Yang Ge's face darkened, and he muttered in a low voice, "The thief's heart is not dead", turned around and trotted in the direction of the back kitchen.
When there was no one around, he took out the thing on his waist and looked at it...... A small bamboo tube with a thick thumb and sealed with fire paint, and the seal is also stamped with Shen Fan's seal.
He quickly checked the integrity of the seal, then directly crushed the bamboo tube, shook out a small roll of cloth from it, and quickly glanced at it: "At the time of Youxu, the enemy chief crosses the border. ’
Yang Ge knew what he wanted, and with a big hand, he held all the pieces of cloth and bamboo tube in the palm of his hand, and walked into the back kitchen quickly: "Master Lu, there is another table of guests in the front hall, asking for two catties of pork heads, four vegetarian dishes, and two drawers of steamed buns. ”
With the skill of speaking, he threw all the bits and pieces in his hand into the hole in the stove, and burned the fire clean.
"Come on, let's get the food ready for you!"
"Okay!"
Yang Ge turned around and walked out of the back kitchen quickly, and as soon as he passed through the courtyard gate, he saw Wang Dali, who was dressed like a dog, swaying his steps that his six relatives did not recognize, and swaggering across the door of the inn.
"Where are you going?"
Shopkeeper Liu, who dialed the abacus behind the counter, became angry when he saw this guy, and when he turned out from behind the counter, he habitually slapped him on the head: "Don't change your clothes soon......"
Wang Dali raised his body back, avoided the slap of Shopkeeper Liu, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, we are not here to do Xiao Er, see?" We're here to hit the tip! ”
With a "snap" of the face, he slapped a broken silver horn the size of a little finger on the counter, shouting loudly.
Shopkeeper Liu glanced at the silver, and a smile quickly appeared on the old face: "Ouch, look at our little old man's old eyes, isn't this an eye that doesn't know gold and jade?" Wang Daguan, please sit inside, what do you want to eat, you squeak, even if you are a little old man today, I will honor you! ”
The old man's posture was a little funny, but the neighbors sitting in the front hall all looked at Wang Dali with playful eyes.
Wang Dali was also a little embarrassed, and sneered: "You're tormenting us, aren't you?" We just want to come back and see, and it doesn't mean anything else! ”
The smile on the face of the shopkeeper Liu became more and more modest, he bent down and asked Wang Dali to go inside: "Where is the big official, please sit down ...... quickly."
At the right time, Yang Ge leaned forward with a strange expression, pulled the old shopkeeper back to the counter, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I'll come!" ”
After Shopkeeper Liu returned to the counter, he was still seriously admonishing: "Yes, you have to greet Wang Daguan for us, but you can't lose the etiquette of our inn!" ”
Yang Ge nodded, stretched out his hand and asked Wang Dali to go: "Brother Wang, please, I'll find a good position for you!" ”
Wang Dali's face softened, and under the leadership of Yang Ge, he walked to the elegant seat on the second floor, muttering as he walked: "Why does the old shopkeeper look down on people so much? Can't I, the king, be productive......"
He also knew that the old shopkeeper was giving him eye medicine.
Yang Ge returned to the counter after greeting Wang Dali, and saw the old shopkeeper with an old face and the abacus crackling, and couldn't help but smile and stepped forward and whispered relief: "Are you still angry?" It's not the first day you've known him! ”
Shopkeeper Liu sneered: "It's hard to persuade a ghost who is dead with good words!" ”
Yang Ge smiled and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't ask for it!" ”
Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand: "Don't care if he dies, after eating this meal, this guy will have nothing to do with a copper plate in our inn in the future!" ”
Both of them are human spirits, and they don't need to ask what they did and where they got the money, and they can guess with their toes that it must be no good.
A restless young man of Wang Dali's age plunged headlong into the wrong path and basically couldn't come back......
"If only you could think about it!"
He took off the apron around his waist: "It's been busy here for the time being, I'll go and take a look at Brother Fufu, and I'll be back soon!" ”
Shopkeeper Liu smiled: "Don't worry, we can handle it here, if he is not busy over there, call him over for lunch!" ”
Yang Ge replied and strode out of the door.
Seeing this, Fang Ke, who had steamed buns in one hand and pig's head meat in the other hand, hurriedly chased after him: "Shopkeeper Yang, you wait, we have something to tell you." ”
The shopkeeper Liu behind the counter saw it, and greeted happily: "Guest officer, the food on the trumpet is quite delicious, right?" ”
Fang Ke gave a thumbs up as he walked: "I don't have to say!" ”
The two walked out of the inn one after the other and walked side by side.
Fang Ke's face lowered his voice as usual: "Shopkeeper Yang, what do you say at home?" ”
Yang Ge also replied in a low voice as usual: "Immediately investigate the soldiers patrolling the city tonight, monitor the big and small officials in charge of the affairs together, and wait for my news!" ”
Fang Ke: "Yes...... Okay, let's go back and talk about it in detail! ”
He patted Yang Ge on the shoulder, turned around and nibbled on the steamed bun and returned to the inn to continue eating.
