Chapter Twenty-Seven: Canglan Gambling House

"Rebel, what a rebel, why did I raise such a son as Zhang Hongtu. ”

Liu Yuan pushed open the door and walked in, and heard a few words more and more clearly.

In front of the house is a long road, with a high pile of rice on the left and a counter on the right.

The counter was messy, and Zhang Yuanwai, who had seen several faces, was standing in front of the counter at this time.

The appearance of beating his chest and stoning his feet, he couldn't see the spirit in the inn that day, and he seemed to be ten years old when he was hunched over.

"Zhang Yuanwai. Liu Yuan said hello and pulled him out of his anger.

The latter raised his head, and Liu Yuancai saw that Zhang Yuanwai's eyes were swollen, not swollen from crying, but swollen from beating.

"Ah, shopkeeper Liu, why do you have time to come to my store today. Zhang Yuanwai forced a smile and took two steps forward.

I don't know if it affected the injury at the corner of my eye, and I grinned in pain.

"You hurt ......" Liu Yuan didn't rush to say something, but stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Yuanwai's eyes and said.

"Alas, let you see the smile, the family is unfortunate, don't talk about the rebel, is there anything wrong with the shopkeeper Liu?" Zhang Yuanwai obviously didn't want to say more about his son, and revealed it in a few words.

"Oh, the inn is out of rice, come buy some rice and go back. Liu Yuan said softly.

"It turns out that this is the matter, a trivial matter, how many catties do you want, I will load it for you. As he spoke, Zhang Yuanwai picked up a cloth bag and walked to the side of the rice pile.

"Let's get fifty pounds. Liu Yuan said, took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it over.

After taking the rice, Liu Yuan walked outside the door of the house, and when he came to the threshold, Liu Yuan turned his head to look at Zhang Yuanwai and said: "That Brother Zhang, I told Miss Li about the matter you explained last time, she sent a letter to the county magistrate, and it will be implemented soon, it depends on you...... Look at this, do you still need it?"

In the end, Liu Yuan hesitated a little, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

"Yes, the little rabbit cub will wait for him to go to the yamen to hone for a few more days, and his temperament will be smooth. ”

Hearing that it was a great joy, Zhang Yuanwai nodded busily, and even walked up to hold Liu Yuan's left hand with both hands and said cordially: "Shopkeeper Liu's great favor to me, I am grateful." ”

"No, no, Brother Zhang, you are serious. Liu Yuan smiled, "Okay, I'll go back, Brother Zhang will stay and see you later." ”

Holding a bag of rice in his hand, on the way back, Liu Yuan thought in his heart and didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

With the character of Zhang Yuanwai's son, even if he goes to the yamen, most of them will not be tempered to have a good temper, but will be more likely to become worse.

When the time comes, he will use the relationship of the yamen to act as a prestige, but it will have the opposite effect.

"Come on, shopkeeper, why have you been here for so long. Li Lanxin said and stepped forward, and Zheng Dongxi took the rice bag from Liu Yuan's hand.

At this time, Liu Yuancai looked into the store, there were many good guys, there were eight of them, in addition to the familiar faces a few days ago, Wang Dashan, the brothers and sisters of the Lei family, and several new customers came.

"They've been sitting for a while, just waiting for you to cook. Li Lanxin was very interested.

Liu Yuan was naturally happy that there were many guests, but the rule of three servings a day could not be broken.

So he stepped forward, waved his hands around, and said, "You must all be here for the top brand of our inn, the boiled fish of seven perfumes......"

Lei Qingfeng was secretly amused when he heard this, and felt that why he was so much like the old bustard of Yihong Mansion standing in front of the stage, laughing and saying that all the benefactors are here for the top fish girl.

Thinking about it, he laughed out loud, causing Lei to look at his brother with a small difference, and Lei Qingfeng hurriedly coughed twice and sat down.

Ignoring what Lei Qingfeng was laughing at, Liu Yuan continued: "Even if this is the case, everyone must know it, but our No. 1 inn in the world has a rule, seven perfume boiled fish only sells three servings a day. He raised three fingers.

Hearing this, everyone could only smile helplessly, everyone knows this rule.

However, the seven perfume boiled fish is only available in the world's first inn, and they can't abide by it if they want to.

Seeing that several people nodded, Liu Yuan continued: "Okay, it's an honor to be liked by everyone, so let's come in order, whoever comes first eats first, fair." ”

In the end, the discussion was over, one for the two brothers and sisters of the Lei family, one for Wang Dashanren, and then one for a new guest.

Liu Yuan went to the kitchen to be busy, and Zheng Dongxi added tea and water one by one.

About half an hour later, trays were brought out of the back kitchen.

It's still the same soul-hooking fragrance as yesterday, even if Wang Dashan has eaten it several times, he still doesn't get tired.

What's more, it was the two brothers and sisters of the Lei family, and the moment the wooden cover was opened, the two of them swallowed their saliva at the same time.

The entire lobby fell silent instantly, and only the sound of eating could be heard.

In fact, at this time, Zheng Dongxi and Li Lanxin are really bitter, and they can only smell and have nothing to eat.

In line with the fact that out of sight is pure, Li Lanxin hid in the backyard, but the smell still floated in like wisps.

"I can't bear it anymore!" Li Lanxin said and walked into the kitchen.

Looking around, she really found a few steamed buns, and the soup of boiling fish with seven spices was also sweet.

While eating, Li Lanxin frowned slightly, and stopped stuffing steamed buns into her mouth.

She listened intently, and was surprised to hear the sound of swallowing saliva.

And the voice disappeared quickly, and Miss Li's heart beat like a bang, looking for the sound just now, and slowly looked for it in the kitchen.

......

Canglan Gambling House is the largest underground casino in Qingchuan County, attracting gamblers day and night to spend a lot of money here.

Some people went bankrupt overnight, some people got rich overnight, and they were robbed when they went out, but they still attracted countless people.

"Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are all out, only I have a back and forth ...... gambling"

"Buy and leave, buy and leave. ”

"Open open open ...... Big Big ...... Tiny ......"

The shirtless men are roaring hotly.

"Niang Xipi's, lost again. A man with sweat on his forehead and red eyes slapped him in the face and said.

If you look closely, it is the rebellious son of the rice shopkeeper.

"Zhang Ya'er, don't run away, you kid. A strong man pointed to Zhang Yuanwai's son, who was dodging, and said loudly, like a bell, overshadowing the surrounding noise.

Zhang Ya'er is his mixed name, and Zhang Yuanwai's son's real name is Zhang Shijia.

"Run, I'm your son, I'm going to make it easier. After Zhang Shijia finished speaking, he pointed to the gambling table: "See, grandpa's silver is all pressed there, the leopard is pressed, and when grandpa and I come back, it will be a silver mountain!"

Zhang Shijia's words caused everyone to burst into laughter, and looked at his departing back with disdain, who didn't know that Zhang Ya'er lost nine out of ten bets, let alone a leopard.

After less than half a pillar of incense, the strong man was not at ease at first, but he was still afraid that Zhang Ya'er would run away, so he followed with steps.

Pushing and shoving past a few gaming tables, he lifted the curtain with his right hand, and a dead body appeared in front of him.
