Night had fallen, and only a few guys were still busy cleaning the hall in Taibai Ju in Purple Willow City.

Zhu Ting, the shopkeeper, is holding a purple sand teapot in his hand, lying leisurely on his beloved wisteria bamboo chair.

With a slanted glance, a glimmer of light from the neatly arranged gold and silver ingots in the counter fell directly into Zhu Ting's eyes.

Zhu Ting took a sip of tea with great satisfaction, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled slightly, and he planned to close his eyes and take a nap.

Suddenly, a thin figure suddenly appeared in the doorway, then slowly walked to a clean table and slowly sat down.

The corner of Zhu Ting's eyes was opened, and after seeing the person who came, his face immediately changed slightly, and then he stood up from the rattan chair, hesitated slightly, slowly came to the person who came, bowed slightly and said: "Guest officer, the store is about to close, why don't you change places?"

Before the words fell, Zhu Ting immediately lowered his voice and said, "My lord, why are you here? The hall is too ostentatious, or ......."

The person who came was naturally Xiao Yin who had been shopping in Purple Willow City for a day.

It's just that Xiao Yin's sudden appearance really caught Zhu Ting off guard.

Xiao Yin didn't seem to hear Zhu Ting's words at all, he just shook his hand and said, "Shopkeeper." It's okay, I'm not disgusted. I've been out for a day today, I'm a little tired, I want to take a break here, and hurry up to the best wine and food in your store, and double the reward. ”

At the end, Xiao Yin glanced at Zhu Ting and added, "It must be the best." ”

Zhu Ting was stunned.

After Xiao Yin finished speaking, his eyes narrowed, he brushed the floor and stretched out the folding fan in his hand, and began to fan it leisurely, acting like a handsome boy, ignoring Zhu Ting at all, as if he had never known Zhu Ting.

Zhu Ting stood stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, Son, wait." ”

Immediately, Zhu Ting waved to a guy and said, "Quick! Tell the kitchen, go to the best." ”

The guy took the order and left, and Zhu Ting was inconvenient to continue to stand beside Xiao Yin, so he also retreated.

After Zhu Ting came to the counter, he opened the account book and began to fiddle with the abacus, as if he was about to start settling the accounts, but the corner of his eye never dared to leave Xiao Yin for a moment.

And all the guys in the hall still kept their hands and feet, continuing to do the work in their hands, and they didn't seem to be interested in Xiao Yin, the guest who suddenly arrived.

It's just that Zhu Ting knew very well that when he left Xiao Yin's seat, the two glances from left and right had already notified all the living people in the store.

At this moment, everyone seemed to be busy, but in fact, the corners of their eyes and attention had already been focused on Xiao Yin.

Looking at Xiao Yin again, he didn't seem to have any perception of all this, just leisurely sipping the fragrant tea on the table, his eyes slightly closed, and the folding fan shook gently, which was very pleasant.

In the deep night, except for the two purple willows at the door occasionally fluttering willow leaf branches, the entire Taibaiju hall seemed a little too quiet for a while, and even had a trace of uneasy depression.

Finally, a crisp drink broke the slightly eerie silence of the store.

"Here we go!"

A cousin with a white cloth on his shoulder, holding a large tray in one hand, galloped out of the back hall with light steps.

"Fried prawns, a pint of bear's paw, stewed crab roe, rock sugar lotus root, plus a pot of 50-year-old Qingfen. ”

The cousin reported the dishes one by one very quickly, and quickly placed them neatly on Xiao Yin's table, and then said with a smile on his face: "The guest officer uses it slowly, if you have any other orders, please feel free to say hello." ”

Xiao Yin looked at the table full of dishes and nodded with satisfaction.

With a flick of his hand, a heavy ingot of silver fell steadily into the arms of the cousin. The cousin clenched the silver ingot, smiled and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, officer!

As he spoke, the cousin took the silver in his hand, quickly returned to the counter, and handed the silver to Zhu Ting.

It's just that when the two handed over the silver ingot, their eyes also exchanged.

Zhu Ting nodded unchanged, and then glanced at the hall with a slight wink.

The cousin quickly retreated.

In the hall, Xiao Yin's voice of admiration was already sounding: "Not bad, not bad! There are all meat and vegetables, all the colors and aromas, which is a bit interesting." ”

After tasting a few bites, Xiao Yin couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Spring City is full of flying flowers, and the cold food is east wind and willow slanting. Although it is not spring at this time, this place is not the capital, but there is a city full of purple willows on this summer night, and it is not a good flavor to have a drink. ”

After that, Xiao Yin put away the folding fan and began to eat and drink.

Zhu Ting kept fiddling with the abacus in his hand, but the corner of his eye included all of Xiao Yin's behavior. It's just that, apart from frowning slightly, Zhu Ting still can't do anything.

At this moment, a white-haired beggar in ragged clothes and dirty, holding a broken bowl in his left hand and a cane in his right hand, suddenly appeared at the door of Taibai Ju singing Lotus Fall.

"The east of the city to the west of the city, the south of the city to the north of the city.

The old lady has a meal, can you get two mouthfuls of food?

There is not too much leftovers, and there is not too little good wine and meat.

Eh!eh!eh!No~Suspicious~Less!"

The hoarse singing voice of the absurd walker directly broke the tranquility of the living room of Taibai Ju, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to the past.

After seeing that the person who came was just a beggar asking for food, Zhu Ting's face relaxed slightly, and then he continued to bow his head and began to settle the account.

A fellow immediately walked to the door with great tacit understanding, and shouted at the white-haired beggar to drive him away.

Unexpectedly, the white-haired beggar was like kraft candy, lying in front of the store, stretching out the broken bowl, shouting loudly and entangled with the man.

Xiao Yin quietly looked at the scene at the door of the store, and suddenly said, "Okay, don't make trouble, invite him in." ”

The guy was stunned, turned around and said, "Childe, this food is too dirty, and it will affect our business if you put it in." ”

Xiao Yin said lightly: "What time is this, how can there be any business?" Let him come in, accompany me for two drinks, and the reward will be indispensable to you." ”

After that, Xiao Yin threw it with one hand, and another ingot of silver flew into the hands of the guy.

Weighing the white silver in his hand, the guy's eyes rolled, and he looked slightly at Zhu Ting, who was still settling accounts.

It's a pity that at this moment, Zhu Ting didn't seem to react to everything that happened outside the door, and was still carefully copying the numbers in the account book.

The man's face changed suddenly, he smiled, and pointed at the white-haired beggar Xiao Yin and said, "Cheng." Since this son is in charge, you old guy is lucky. Please. ”

With that, the man let the white-haired beggar in.

The white-haired beggar smiled, scratched his hair, which was full of withered grass, stepped to Xiao Yin's side, and sat down with a big grin.

As soon as the white-haired beggar sat down, he was immediately attracted by the exquisite food on the table.

The white-haired beggar with wide-eyed eyes blinked a few times, sniffed a few times, and without even asking Xiao Yin, he stretched out his filthy hand and directly grabbed a bear paw, squeaked and chewed.

Listening to the sound of smacking his lips, Xiao Yin looked at the white-haired beggar opposite with a smile on his face, without saying a word, as if he was watching something very interesting.

After three bites and two bites, the white-haired beggar swallowed the bear's paws, and after licking the greasy on his dirty hands, the white-haired beggar smiled and stretched out his hand to the dining table again.

In a few moments, all the wine and food on the table were swept away by the beggars as if they were swept away by the wind.

And Xiao Yin, on the other side, is not in the eyes of the beggar at all as if it is transparent.

Seeing the beggar touching his belly, burping, and looking satisfied, Xiao Yin smiled slightly and said, "Is it delicious?"

The beggar grinned and nodded.

Xiao Yin continued to smile and asked, "Are you full?"

The beggar stretched out a little finger, picked his teeth, raised his eyebrows, and said with a slight flash in his eyes: "It's okay." ”

Xiao Yin sighed lightly and asked, "Do you want to call again?"

The beggar smacked his lips and said, "The meal is useless, if only there were a few more rewards." ”

Xiao Yin smiled and said, "It's not that there is no reward, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it." ”

The beggar burped, squinted his eyes, and glanced at Xiao Yin: "I always told Hanako to go south and north, and there is no reward that can't be taken away." ”

Xiao Yin stretched out his hand and tugged on it, and a snow-white jade plaque tattooed with heaven and earth on his waist fell into his palm, and then was slowly placed on the table.
