Text Chapter 1 Who's a little guy has big ambitions
"Little Er, serve the wine!"
"Very well, guest officer. The wine is coming!" As soon as the words fell, a young man in a green shirt had already come to the table with wine, "Guest officer, your wine." The servant put down his wine and was about to turn around, but was dragged by the guest again.
"Xiao Er! I don't have to practice any more boxing and kicking, I will watch the door for others, but I am about to learn the methods of immortals!" The guest was full of alcohol, pulling the little guy, and the saliva was about to spray on his face, but the little guy didn't dodge, but slowly helped the guest back to the chair, and said: "Yes, then I have to congratulate the guest officer, when the guest officer has become an immortal, you have to come to our Wangxian Tower again." ”
"Hahahaha, you little second is really good at talking, okay! When the time comes, I'll buy the whole building and let you be the shopkeeper!" "Then thank you, guest officer." However, the small ones will retire first, and there will be drinks and food for the guests at other tables. "Spoiled, get out!" said the guest impatiently, "Wait, reward you." A piece of silver with a beautiful arc fell into the hands of the little servant.
"Thank you, I wish the guest officer good luck!" The little guy bowed his hand, turned around and went out.
After a while, the little guy had come to the backyard, looked left and right and saw that no one was resting, and a dodge to a remote corner, so he took out the silver in his arms, and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth and bite it: "Hey, this silver is not fake, two or two copies are enough, look at your dress is just a martial artist, and what you usually do is not a job to exchange your life for silver, I don't know where you got the silver on the second floor of the box, even the reward is two taels of silver, presumably this meal will cost half of your life savings, I just hope you just lose the silver instead of your life in the end." ”
The little guy has been mixed in this Wangxian Building for seven or eight years, and no one has seen it, and every year there will be a few stupid people who say that they want to repair the immortal, but in the end, most of them can't escape the end of cheating all the money, and there is still no news about a few, I don't know whether it is to cultivate the immortal or become the fertilizer of a certain tree, but this year there seem to be more stupid people than in previous years. The little servant shook his head, no longer cared, put the silver in his arms, and prepared to go to his hut to hide it first. But you must not be discovered by the man, the little guy thought to himself.
As soon as I got out of the corner, I saw a middle-aged man leaning against the wall, squinting in the sun. As soon as the little guy saw this person, his body immediately froze, and he found that he had his eyes closed, "You can't see me, you can't see me" The little guy quickly turned around quietly while quietly turning around, tiptoeing to leave. "Stop!" the little guy froze there before he could take a step, "cough, I'm done appreciating the silver... Before the man finished speaking, the little guy had already run away, and now it was the turn of the middle-aged man to freeze, "Little rabbit cub, you stop for me!" The man scolded and chased after him while scolding.
"Okay, Gu Chen, you little rabbit cub, you dare to run away now, right?" the middle-aged man grabbed Gu Chen's collar and scolded again. After all, Gu Chen is still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager, and his physical strength is not as good as that of an adult, not to mention that the middle-aged man has practiced a few fists and kicks when he is young, and he was caught after not running long.
"No, shopkeeper, I remember that there is still soup in the kitchen, and I am in a hurry to see the fire. Gu Chen said with a smile. "Let your mother's dog be ugly, when will you have to worry about the kitchen, besides, are you running in the direction of the kitchen!" "Let me see how much silver has fascinated your kid's mind, and you dare to run away. Saying that, he reached out and took out the money, Gu Chen struggled again, but he was only beaten more.
"Ha, there are two taels, you can be, Gu Chen, you can cheat so many rewards. "No matter how much you reward, it's mine, pay me back!" Gu Chen opened his teeth and claws. "Don't worry, I'll come by the rules. The shopkeeper put down Gu Chen with a smile and walked to the front yard. "You wait for me!" "Okay, I'll wait, but you hurry up and deliver the rest of the dishes, otherwise you will want the monthly money this month." Gu Chen couldn't help it, gritted his teeth and ran to deliver the food.
This Gu Chen, he used to be an orphan who wandered from nowhere, about seven years old, he fell ill and passed out in front of the Wangxian Tower, and it was the shopkeeper who spent money to ask the doctor to save him and take him in. Because of that serious illness, Gu Chen lost most of his previous memories, but he was already a seven-year-old child, and he could understand some things, understand some reason, and know the pain of wandering outside, so he left it for Zhou Bapi, that is, the shopkeeper, to help.
Because he is also serious and quick to do things with gratitude, and his appearance is delicate and pleasing, he is loved by many guests, and the reward is naturally not less, but after all, he is careful and simple-minded, and he has never thought of keeping it privately, and he may have food and a place to live, which is already very happy for him at that time. Until he was thirteen years old, there was a storyteller in the building, although he usually heard guests talk about the outside world, but he didn't particularly care about just a few words.
From Mr. Storyteller, he really understood the world for the first time, and knew the righteousness between the heroes of the rivers and lakes, as well as the heroes who stepped on the mountains and rivers, the immortals who moved mountains and rivers, etc., these things fell in the young man's heart, burning wildly like wildfire, and since then the boy began to be full of curiosity about the outside world, but after all, he is a child who grew up in the market, and he ran out without recklessness, because he understood that he was missing the most important thing - money! Whether it is the previous experience of wandering outside or what he saw and heard when working in a restaurant, he clearly told the young man how important money is.
The boy suddenly had an incomparable desire for money in his heart. And then... Then the boy remembered his salary, and then roughly calculated the wages of the past few years, the young man understood the feeling of heartache for the first time, and also ushered in the boy's first resistance to Zhou Papi's oppression. The young man frightened Zhou Babi with great courage and the momentum of running away from home without agreeing, and won the first and only victory. Although he didn't get his previous salary in the end, Zhou Babi also agreed, and he would start paying Gu Chen's salary next, and he would have to hand over half of the reward he received. The rules that Zhou Ba said when he left before were also this. It was also from that time that Gu Chen only saw Zhou Papi and ignored Zhou Babi.
But yes, you said that Zhou Babi was the shopkeeper of a big restaurant, and he was also a person who had seen the world, so why should he deduct the reward of a small guy, so it was worthy of the nickname given to him by the young man - Zhou Papi! The young man was also angry, even if he was confiscated half of the reward, he still took the most reward money from Zhou Papi every month. Of course, in order to make up enough entanglement in the rivers and lakes, the young man has to continue to work for Zhou Ba, from this aspect, who wins has to be said.
The busy day is over, today is not Gu Chen's night shift, so he burned his feet early, but he didn't go to bed, sat at the table, and looked at a travelogue by candlelight, nothing more than fairies and ghosts, slaying demons and eliminating demons. It is normal for Gu Chen to be so interested in the rivers and lakes, Lin'an City, where Wangxian Tower is located, is also a big city in Liangzhou, although Wangxian Tower is not one of the best restaurants, it is also famous, Gu Chen is busy in the restaurant all day long, what kind of person has not seen it, from a small beggar to a Jiangyang thief, there are many knights in the rivers and lakes like a carp crossing the river, Gu Chen can get the highest reward in the building every month, but it is not just by his delicate face.
Standing in front of the building to welcome the guest can be said to be the façade of a restaurant, what kind of guests should be welcomed, what kind of guests should be refused, welcome in the hall on the first floor or the second floor of the private seat or box, all depend on the small house's own eyesight. Gu Chen relied on that pair of sharp eyes that he had practiced since he was a child, and he also had the ability to see people and talk about ghosts, so he greeted guests in front of the building for the longest time, contacted the most guests, and naturally got the most rewards. Originally, the restaurant inn was the place where the news converged, and Gu Chen had the most contact with the guests, so he naturally knew more about the rivers and lakes, he was originally a teenager, and he was full of curiosity about these things, and he was extremely yearning for hearing more true or false stories. Acting chivalrous and righteous, going to the end of the world with a sword, and there is that Jianghu people who don't expect it, not to mention that he is still a teenager.
The teenager is so curious about the rivers and lakes, some people who claim to be old rivers and lakes will inevitably teach the teenager some real or false experience in the rivers and lakes, and tell some stories about the rivers and lakes that are seriously mixed with water, so other teenagers may run to join a gang to break into the rivers and lakes on impulse, but Gu Chen is a smart person, he has been in the restaurant for a long time and is proficient in human accidents, so he is naturally unwilling to join a small gang casually, he is ready to join the Qinghua Gang, the first big gang in Lin'an City, to be honest, a Qinghua Gang can't satisfy Gu Chen, the reason why he chose the Qinghua Gang is that he learned from a fragrant master of the Qinghua Gang that the Qinghua Gang has a connection with Linghua Sect, one of the three major sects in Liangzhou, and Gu Chen wants to enter the Qinghua Gang, and then use it as a springboard to enter the Linghua Sect, and only when you enter the sect can you be considered on the right path.
That's a good plan for a young guy. It is true that the Qinghua Gang has to provide talented young people to the Linghua Sect every year to deliver fresh blood, but the incense master is not low for Gu Chen, who wants this place, and this is still the friendship price that Gu Chen has helped him find out the news before.
"It's dry, watch out for candles. There was a sound of beating from afar, Gu Chen yawned, put down the book, walked to the bed, took out a box from under the bed, carefully untied the simple mechanism he made, opened the box, and the silver inside was shining, it was the money saved in the past few years, there were fragments of broken silver, and there were also a few large pieces of official silver, presumably with the accumulated broken silver to go to the money bank to exchange.
Although he knew the number earlier, Gu Chen couldn't help but count it again, "Haha, one hundred and seventy-three taels! Not a single cent, when the money is distributed this month, there will be one hundred and eighty taels, and in two years, you will be able to make up three hundred taels, and change to a place, it is a little late to learn art at the age of seventeen, but it is not too late." The boy scratched his head and looked at the silver with a smirk, his eyes staring straight at the silver like a miser, but he was not a greedy man for money, he looked like this because he understood
This is his future!
