In March and Yuan, the spring breeze blows, and the willows are still around.

There are pedestrians sitting in twos and threes in the Taoyuan Building, which is very sparse. Before noon, the bookkeeper who had taken a nap was awakened in his sleep by the back kitchen, yawning incessantly. In the front hall of the store, there are a few small maids waiting, looking a little bored, shaking their legs from time to time, stretching their waists, and they seem to be very idle.

Taoyuanlou, the county signboard, is not in vain. The decoration in the hall is elegant and noble, spacious and bright, and it is not a restaurant that ordinary people can enjoy.

On the ground, a figure like a gust of wind broke into the store. On closer inspection, his dress is incompatible with the noble and elegant temperament of Taoyuan Building, although he is a handsome young man, such a good color with such a outfit is very unsatisfactory. Before Xiao Er could react to the hospitality, he happened to be seen by a maid in Tsing Yi who was sweeping the floor with a broom in the corner, and the maid suddenly became playful, and silently leaned the broom in her hand to the corner of the wall, lightly walked towards the back of the young man like a house cat catching mice. When the maid was fully behind him, she patted the young man on the shoulder and gave him another shout in his ear.

Suddenly, the young man was frightened, and his whole body shuddered.

The young man couldn't help but shrink his neck, and turned around faintly, until he saw the smiling face of the maid, then he gasped and kept stroking his chest, "Oh, ancestor! People are scary, they will be scared to death! ”

The maid in Tsing Yi looked at the young man with a weak heart, her face flushed with a smile, and she showed her graceful posture, she continued: "Hey, for more than a few years, you took the opportunity to sneak away again and secretly run to play!" In the early days, the shopkeeper just asked you to go to the boss of the wine shop to order the next batch of old wine, but the distance between the two streets, why did it delay for such a long time, you are not afraid that the shopkeeper will hold you accountable? ”

Yu Nian was obviously still apprehensive about Fang Cai's prank, and said with a stalk around his neck: "What do you mean by secretly running to play!" And how can a man's affairs be secret! Xinqian, you don't know, the boss of the wine shop Nafu has been cultivated by a thousand-year-old fox, but my master, I haven't been afraid of anyone in terms of bargaining! ”

A smug look flashed on the young man's face, he has always spared no effort in bragging about himself, "If it weren't for my ability to speak of lotus flowers, even if our restaurant has a famous name in Kyushu, it wouldn't be able to save a full twenty taels of silver!" It's just that I encountered a strange thing when I came back, so I delayed the time to come back a little bit! ”

Twenty taels! For ordinary families in Yu County, it is really not a small amount, enough to feed an ordinary family of four for a year's food.

Yu Nian shook off the scattered broken hair in front of his forehead, and he was full of spirit. That momentum was originally arrogant, but I don't know what kind of spirit snake god was in my previous life for more than a few years? The facial features are exquisite, the nose is handsome, and the peach blossom eyes are as clear as a deer in the forest.

Xin Qian was also confused by his handsome face like a spring breeze at this time, and lost her mind for a while. Immediately, as if to save face, he said sarcastically, "If you want to say that people here haven't encountered a strange thing for hundreds of years, but you bumped into it as soon as you went out?" How? Yu Daxia! Why don't I repair a golden body for you and keep our restaurant safe! ”

While the two were talking and laughing, the young man's ears were amazing, and he was the first to hear the footsteps from the stairs, and his heart was cold, and Fang Cai's body with his head held high suddenly collapsed as if he had no bones, and he took back all the pride of Fang Cai, and his face was innocent for a moment.

Shopkeeper Zhou stood at the top of the stairs at this time, with an imperceptible smile on his face, looking at Yu Nian. The latter is a little more obedient if he is clever.

This week's shopkeeper is the leader of Taoyuan Building.

At first glance, it is Tai Chi Liangyi when put together with Yu Nian, which is a very "drama" that cannot be ignored.

The knife-cut face without two taels of flesh on the cheeks is adorned with two small mung bean eyes, with two slightly upturned mouse whiskers, among the people I have seen in the rest of the year, the shopkeeper Zhou is the bitter and mean appearance mentioned in the book.

The shopkeeper of Zhou prides himself on being a literati and a scholar, wearing a scribe's hat all the year round and holding a folding fan of mountains and rivers, which makes people have an indescribable feeling.

Yu Nian secretly complained in his heart, and then the dark light in the young man's eyes flowed, and he had a plan, and his face put on the panicked look just now, approached the shopkeeper Zhou, and whispered eagerly: "Shopkeeper Zhou, you don't know yet, right?" It's all over the city! The Song family's mansion is a monster, this thing is said in a good way, I'm afraid that if this is true, it will have an impact on the business in our building, right? ”

Yu Nian's handsome face frowned even more, and there was quite a look of heroic and righteous indignation, "The little one didn't care, thinking about Lang Lang Qiankun, where did the monster come from, it should be nonsense that is full of food." It's just that when the villain went to the wine shop to order, he happened to pass by the Song family, and then he saw some lively neighborhoods outside, and after an inquiry, he knew that it was really a monster there. ”

Shopkeeper Zhou opened the landscape folding fan with one hand and looked at him and sneered: "Make it up, then make it up, I want to hear it, why are you dead!" ”

Yu Nian opened his mouth, his face trembled, and he was speechless for a while, and his heart began to be stunned.

In Taoyuan Building, Yu Nian is an old fritter, and everyone is clear about the Tao. Every time he is sent out, he will take the opportunity to slip away, and when he comes back, he will find some strange things to prevaricate, what Wong Tai Sin is stealing chickens, and water ghosts are catching children. The most excessive time is to say something, there are monsters on the mountain! even missed work for half a day, and ran out with a broken sword to "do chivalrous righteousness" before returning after dark.

Since the rest of his memory, his father has passed away, leaving him alone to earn a living in Taoyuan Building. Fortunately, he has always been a lively character, a small ghost, pros and cons, and black and white in calculations. Don't look at him as lazy and slippery on weekdays, he is extremely interested in arithmetic and literacy for the rest of his life!

It's not that he is looking forward to it, when he has saved enough money, he will be able to read and settle accounts, and he will be able to open a food shop in Yu County. Therefore, he ran out to sneak away today, but in fact, he ran to the nearest private school under the eaves to eavesdrop on Xiucai's lecture.

Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at him, and secretly thought to himself, these days the Song family's mansion has been rumored in the county, although this kid is lazy, it is not a lie.

Those who walked the streets and alleys, and the storytellers in the teahouse, all came out to discuss this matter. This rumor shows that the eldest lady of the Song family has entered her body, as if she has lost her mind, and she is crazy all day long. At the beginning, the Song family thought that the eldest lady had a strange disease, which was among the famous doctors who had traveled all over the country, but it was completely useless. Later, I heard that this was an evil spirit, and invited a high-level humanist to exorcise evil spirits, and it was said that it was effective, but it only took a few days to get started, but Miss Song went crazy again, and there was no reason for it, and there must be a demon in the abnormal!

In view of the fact that this leather monkey has too many criminal records, Shopkeeper Zhou opened his pair of mung bean eyes, took the folding fan in his hand, knocked on the head of Yu Nian, and scolded: "Praise you and you are still in heaven?" I can tell you, if you don't have a figure when the girl with sleeves in Mianxianglou comes tomorrow, you will roll up and get out! Little bunny, what are you talking about all day, why don't you hurry up and go to work, wait for me to do it for you?! After speaking, he shook his sleeves and walked towards the inner hall.

Seeing that the shopkeeper Zhou was completely gone, Yu Nian hummed a little song in his mouth, went to the counter in a good mood to smoke a rag, and cleaned up the table where the guests had just left.
