After Lu An said this, he immediately looked at Lao Yaotou, but this look was not easy at all, and Lao Yaotou couldn't help but tremble when he saw it.

"You haven't heard of this name, why do you think it's worth it?" Lu An continued to ask.

Lao Yao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet, in addition to looking for this person, they also want to find a few people, and they want these people to take them to a place." At this point, he cautiously put his head over again, revealing a strange smile.

Xiao Luochen scratched his forehead and asked with a displeased face: "Uncle Yao, can you finish this in one breath, talk about stopping, it's the same as telling a story, why do you expect us to continue to support you?"

Old Yao smiled, immediately put away his body, and coughed lightly, "Then I won't sell Guanzi, they want to find a few powerful people and send the two of them to Dahan." ”

"Dahan, are they from Dahan, or do they want to go to Dahan?" asked Lu An.

Lao Yao thought for a while, "I should want to go to Dahan, and then the Wei Wei before may have been with them, probably separated, I think it should be like this." ”

Lu An nodded, and he could be regarded as agreeing with what Lao Yao Tou said, but he was still a little puzzled, the dignified Deputy General Zhou Yu Lin Wei was so miserable now?

Thinking of this, he sighed inexplicably, Lu An still has a good impression of Wei Wei, although he is not a person all the way, but what the other party does is still very principled, in addition to leaking his whereabouts to Liang Liang, this matter should indeed be talked to him well, Lu An touched the scar on his chest, and he really almost died that time!

"Then are the two of them gone now?" Xiao Luochen suddenly asked, if they hadn't left yet, gossiping behind people's backs seemed a bit unauthentic.

Old Yao Tou said affirmatively: "I must not have been, I only came last night, saying that I was looking for someone, how can it be so fast, at least tomorrow." ”

"Who did you introduce to them?" Lu An suddenly looked at Lao Yao Tou and laughed, he had already figured out this Huashui Town, there was not a single so-called master in the town, they were just some reckless men with more strength, and there were few people who really practiced martial arts, and it was undoubtedly a fool to rely on these people to go to Dahan, starting from here to Dahan, it would take several months to say the least, and maybe something would happen along the way, this is not something that those people can eat.

But now that I think about it, if those two really want to go to Dahan, it should be absolutely impossible to find any guards here, it's just a small Huashui Town, and the other party must know it, but since they still do it, there must be a reason.

In addition to cannon fodder and substitute for the dead ghosts, Lu An really couldn't think of another possibility.

"Uncle Yao, you tell me the truth, who did you introduce to them. Lu An asked seriously.

Old Yao Tou suddenly hesitated, "Isn't it okay to say this?

Lu An directly sneered twice, "What are you doing, of course it's to save his life!"

Although Lao Yao Tou was taken aback, he said very calmly: "Isn't it just to send them to Dahan?" It's so serious, although the distance is a bit far, but it's not a big deal, just follow the caravan when the time comes, it's no big problem, the people I introduced have done a lot of this kind of thing, don't worry, Xiao Yi, you still don't talk about this kind of thing that cuts off people's money, others must also know the risks." ”

Hearing him say this, Lu An smiled faintly and nodded, too, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, this kind of thing really can't be done, and he has already reminded him that it is almost done, no matter how much he says, it will not do him any good, don't expose yourself when the time comes, then it will be unlucky, everything has a degree, and it will be okay to point to the end.

Old Yao smiled, picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of wine for Lu An, in fact, he was still a little stunned in his heart now, for some reason he felt that Yi An in front of him was not an ordinary person.

The few words just said, although it was just a very ordinary conversation, but he always felt a little strange, this Yi'an is really not like an ordinary person, he dared to say that he saved people's lives in two or three sentences, and he had dealt with people for so many years, but it was the first time he had encountered it.

If ordinary people hear this kind of good thing, they must have a glamorous expression, except for those who have families, those who beat up singles will definitely find a way to let them squeeze in, this is a big deal.

However, this Yi An stopped after saying a few words, and there was such a smile on his face, which really made people feel a little confused.

After so many years of the restaurant, I have seen a lot of people of all kinds, and this depends on the ability of people to recognize people, and Lao Yao Tou can be regarded as reaching a certain level, so his attitude towards the Yi'an in front of him has changed a little.

Who could be the person who could casually take out ten taels of silver to buy news? Old Yao Tou actually had some guesses in his heart.

Lu Anke didn't expect so many things, so he picked up the cup and drank it directly, and then continued to ask: "What about the other table of people? ”

Lao Yao Tou said with a serious face, "These two people have not been here for a long time, they came when it was almost time to eat, they looked like oil ruffians, I heard that they were also looking for people, but they looked at them very casually, it didn't matter if they could find it or not, they felt that they were here to rub the tolerance fee." ”

"Are you sure? I just heard some tracking, what kind of prince's, didn't you hear Uncle Yao?" Lu An asked with a look of disbelief.

Lao Yao shook his head again and again, and said: "I really didn't pay attention to this, I really didn't hear what they said, so they asked me where there was fun here, and then said a few words casually, and didn't reveal anything, Xiao Yi, did you really hear the word Wangye?"

Lu An nodded.

"Oh, I didn't expect the backstage to be so big, or two fat sheep!" Old Yao looked annoyed.

Xiao Luochen showed an extremely disdainful expression, "Uncle Yao, the world says that there is no treachery and no business, and now it seems that this should be said upside down, no business and no treachery." ”

Lao Yao Tou was not ashamed at all, and even responded with a smile: "Luochen, what you said to my heart, you scholars have your own way of sage poetry and books, in fact, those of us who do business also have a business road, but in your opinion, this business road is not on the table, but for us, anyway, it is to pay money with one hand, deliver with one hand, take what you need, do not pit or rob, equal and voluntary." ”

When Xiao Luochen heard this, his brows furrowed directly, and after thinking for a long time, he still didn't understand, but his expression when he looked at Old Yao Tou had become a little friendlier, and he said slowly: "Uncle Yao, I have been taught." ”

When Lao Yao heard this, he was immediately happy, and directly smiled and brought another pot of wine, and said extremely arrogantly: "I invite this pot, you don't have to pay!"

Lu An smiled and thanked him.

Then Xiao Luochen was full of chagrin, he hadn't even drunk a cup yet, didn't the pot he gave had to go into other people's mouths, who made him call Xiao a cup?

"Uncle Yao, why don't you send a plate of peanuts? I can't finish this wine, it's a waste." Xiao Luochen winked at Lao Yao's head again and again.

Lao Yaotou suddenly realized, and slapped his head, "Also, you may not be able to finish drinking, and you can't waste it, fortunately, I will drink it with you, so I will definitely finish drinking." ”

Xiao Luochen rolled his eyes directly, and Lu An smiled and handed over a pair of chopsticks.

After a few cups, Lao Yao's face was flushed red, his mouth was full of wine, and the chopsticks moved one after another.

Lu An smiled and didn't react, but Xiao Luochen couldn't bear it a little, and the speed of putting down the chopsticks was obviously a lot faster, for fear that this table of dishes would be eaten by Lao Yaotou.

Seeing that he had almost eaten, Lu An took the lead in putting down his chopsticks.

Lao Yao, who had been looking at Lu An, also put down his chopsticks at the right time, and burped with satisfaction.

Xiao Luochen saw that the two of them put down their chopsticks, and the speed of moving the chopsticks became faster, with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Yao, has the business been okay in the past few years?" Lu An said, pointing to the restaurant.

Lao Yao turned his head, sighed, and said with a sigh: "What can you not do, isn't it just a restaurant? ”

Xiao Luochen immediately disagreed, and asked directly: "This is also called supporting a family? One meal, six taels of silver? ”

Lao Yao smiled, "Luochen, your future is not here, it's okay to suffer a little now, you will definitely be able to be a big official in the future, and when that time comes, you will know what these six taels of silver mean to you at that time." ”

"What does that mean?" Xiao Luochen asked curiously.

"It's just meaning... What a fart!" Old Yao Tou laughed directly after speaking.

Xiao Luochen snorted coldly angrily, then picked up the wine glass and pecked it lightly, the spicy taste made his whole face twist together, and he didn't continue to take care of Lao Yao.

But Lao Yao Tou was still there and continued, "It's not me who blows, the only one in this town is my restaurant, I also hope that there can be two more, so that the pressure can be a little less, you know, just how much pressure my family has, as long as those officials who come to Huashui Town, they all come to me to eat and drink, and I want me to help them arrange all kinds of messy things, these are all troubles!"

"Don't they give money?" asked Lu An suspiciously.

Old Yao waved his hand, "The money is still given, but it depends on their mood to give more and less, you look at my back, I think I was also a man who stood up to the sky, since my father left, entrusted this restaurant to me, every day to those officials, the soldiers nodded and bowed, for a full thirty years, I just hunched my back like this, and fell into the title of Yao camel, what do you say I can do?" So don't look at the scenery on my face, it's not as beautiful as you think, of course, it's still a little money, but what's the use? It's not like eating steamed buns, drinking wine, and wearing sackcloth every day, and life is not as leisurely as the old man of water, alas!"

"Then why don't you turn it off?" Xiao Luochen also put down the chopsticks in his hand at this time.

"It's okay to close, but after it's closed, there will be no Yao-style inn in this Huashui Town, and those officials who come several times a year will have to go to other people's houses to do it, but will those few small houses hold on? This Huashui Town, there must be the next Yao-style inn coming out, then I can close this inn with peace of mind, of course, when I can't do it, I also have to close, anyway, I won't let my son do a line, and he can't do it. Old Yao Tou said and drank another glass of wine.

Xiao Luochen had no sound at this time, silently looking at the food on the table, not moving.

"Has it become such a mess here?" Lu Anxin said.

Old Yao shook his head, "Isn't it very peaceful? Isn't it very peaceful? Isn't it good that every family can be fed and clothed? Isn't it good to occasionally produce a few talented people like Luochen?"

"But the things you mentioned earlier, Huashui Town is such a small town, you really can't talk about the things that you can get your hands on, and there is nothing to eat, drink and have fun, so why are those officials here?" Lu An asked puzzled.

For the lifestyle of these ordinary people, to be honest, Lu An really doesn't know so much, he was still young before, he didn't have an impression, but when he got older, he was either in the barracks or in the craftsman city, and he really didn't live in this kind of place, so he really didn't understand.

Old Yao Tou looked at Lu An and laughed: " Xiao Yi, you've only been here for a year, although I don't know what you used to do, but I know that the circle you lived in before was definitely different from ours, so it's normal for you to not know, those people come here for the purpose of collecting taxes, of course, they have to come a few times a year, like our Huashui Town, although there is a mayor, but when he is old, he can't care about anything, let alone talk, so he can only fight for us more, and strive to pay less taxes, but I feel that those people come to collect taxes is secondary, and mixing food and drinking is the most important thing。 ”

"Taxes?" Lu An looked puzzled.

Lao Yao Tou saw that Lu An was really unclear about this, and explained a few words, "We have to pay a lot of taxes to do business like us, and ordinary people also have to pay, and there are more than 1,000 households in Huashui Town, on average, each household collects one tael, so isn't it a thousand taels? But one thousand taels is not a small amount for this Huashui Town, and ordinary people can't take out this money, so it naturally falls on the old mayor and a few of us, especially me, I earn a lot and spread a lot." ”

Xiao Luochen looked surprised, "Really fake? Uncle Yao, you are so generous?"

Lao Yao's eyes suddenly widened, and he scolded: "You melon baby, if your father is still here, you have to call me a cousin in terms of seniority!"

Xiao Luochen scratched his head, and suddenly didn't dare to say more.

"Huashui Town is so big, move forward two generations, these people in the town are all related to each other, there are really not many outsiders like Xiao Yi, and you can't come two a year, so yes, they used to help my Yao family build a restaurant for free, and now I should naturally pick up this burden, although I also know that their impression of me may not be very good, but at least there is no stumbling block, just like this kid, when we meet, you still call me Uncle Yao, no, you have to change your name to call me Uncle Yao in the future!"

From his tone, Lu An heard an extremely sincere tone, it should not be a casual talk, which made Lu An a little awe-inspired, just the three words Yao Huozi, you can see that he has indeed done a lot for this town.

Lu An hugged his fists and said, "Uncle Yao, admire and admire!"

Lao Yao waved his hand, "I'm old, I don't know what's going to happen next, I heard those people in front of me say that there is a war outside, maybe when it will spread here, at that time, I shouldn't be able to get this old bone big knife and long sword, I guess I can only afford a kitchen knife, hehe." ”

Although he said this with a smile, it made people feel extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

may be the so-called hero twilight, although Lao Yao Tou is not a hero, but for this Huashui Town, he can be counted as half.

After Xiao Luochen ate this meal, his attitude towards Lao Yao Tou directly changed a lot, because there were so many entanglements in these things that he didn't know.

And the hunchbacked, stingy and black-hearted old man in front of him secretly did so many things for the sake of Huashui Town.

"Uncle Yao, if someone says bad things about you in the future, I'll help you choke them!" Xiao Luochen was silent for a long time, and suddenly such a sentence came out.

It directly made Lao Yao Tou cry and laugh, "What a mess, what a choking, isn't it good now? You still honestly read books and practice calligraphy, strive to get a good reputation in the exam, and then become a big official, and when this place is under your control, then we will not be afraid of anything." ”

Xiao Luochen thought about it, and it seemed to be a reason.

Lu An smiled slightly and praised: "Uncle Yao, it's really fortunate that this Huashui Town can have such a person as you." ”

Lao Yao Tou waved his hand directly and said: "What is fortunate or not, to put it bluntly, this is a small place, the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of Diao Min, but I, Lao Li, Diao Min, and then I just happened to have a little money, and I can't make anyone else, so I can only do some small things in turn, which can be regarded as repaying the debt." ”

Lu An nodded and said admiringly: "Uncle Yao's words are reasonable. ”

Then he picked up the wine glass and toasted him.

Lao Yao Tou held the wine glass in both hands, got up slightly and bent down, moved the glass down, touched it lightly with Lu An, and then drank it directly.

Seeing this bending action, Lu Anxin sighed with emotion again, and then drank it all directly.

Lao Yao patted his stomach with satisfaction, "I'm full of food and drink, I want to thank Xiao Dacai for the treat this time, haha." ”

Xiao Luochen looked at the remaining half of the wine in his cup, hesitated for a moment, and then his expression became serious directly, picked up the wine glass, and drank it directly, but after drinking, his face instantly turned red, his head shook, and then he slowly lay on the table.

Lu An sighed softly, "Uncle Yao, now I want to ask you something. ”

Hearing this, Old Yao Tou hummed without any surprise, "Xiao Yi asked casually, if you can say it, Uncle Yao will definitely tell you." ”
