There are still a lot of people in front of the Qingfeng Inn every day, and some people will go in to drink a bowl of wine and eat some food, the guest room is already full, and the head of the Zhenxing Martial Arts Hall across the door two streets does not go back, just lives in the guest room, the proprietress can't figure it out, this signboard is so good? She only knows that these people are definitely not coming for the two feet of material, but the business is good, after all, it is a good thing, and the proprietress did not pat the back of his head when she passed by the boss who was sleeping on the table in the past two days.

Liu Yi has lived a lot more these days, serving tea and water, pouring wine and washing dishes, and now he has to go to buy vegetables before dawn every morning, wine, meat and vegetarian dishes, he has to run several times a day, the proprietress has never gone to private school, but the account is shrewd, Liu Yi can't be greedy for a copper coin.

When Liu Yi thought about a lot of money, he always felt that the boss was really not at ease, and the two of them said that it was good to drink less these days. The boss hasn't changed in the past few days, and he still drinks too much and sleeps on the table.

After Boss Meng went back last night, he didn't feel a little sleepy, thinking that he had worked hard for many years, and finally got on the line.

I got up early the next day, it snowed all night last night, and there was a long ice ridge hanging under the eaves outside the door.

Qingfeng Inn, Liu Yi got up early to buy vegetables, and saw a thick layer of snow outside the door, Liu Yi turned back to the house and put on a thick dress, knocked on the door of the boss and his wife, and asked, "Boss, it's snowing, do you want to buy less vegetables?"

The house replied: "Buy more, you can afford it for a few days, and you don't have to run every day." ”

When Liu Yi turned around, he heard the proprietress in the house say angrily: "If you don't help during the day, forget it, and come to toss at night......"

Master Meng, who was bloodied, finally packed up, and went out of the store in a sedan chair, followed by eight people, carrying a heavy box, and rushed to the Qingfeng Inn with Liu Yi.

Liu Yi hugged two large bundles of shallots, and the boss said last night that he would show a hand of green onion noodles today.

After Mr. Meng entered the door, he saw the boss who was busy in the kitchen today, and asked, "Is the painting outside the door for sale?"

The boss was still amiable and replied, "Ask my daughter-in-law." ”

Master Meng asked, "Madam, is that painting outside the door for sale?"

The proprietress lit the fire and replied, "Not for sale." ”

Master Meng said arrogantly: "How much, you shouted high." ”

The boss said: "If the daughter-in-law says not to sell, then she will not sell." ”

The boss pulled the noodles, bit his daughter-in-law's ear and said: "Why don't you sell it, after selling it with silver, hire two guys in the inn, and your daughter-in-law doesn't have to be busy every day, in fact, the main thing is that the husband wants to buy you two boxes of rouge, I heard that it is very expensive, and it costs a lot of money!"

The proprietress patted the boss on the head, "Waste of money." ”

This time she didn't exert herself.

The proprietress said, "It's sold, three thousand taels of gold." ”

Master Meng said heartily: "Okay, I'll pay two thousand taels first, and then pick up the goods when one thousand taels arrive." ”

The proprietress was stunned on the spot.

......

......

At noon, Master Meng, who was holding the signboard of Qingfeng Inn, felt that today's snow was really not the right time, of course, not because he hit the ice edge and got a face of blood, but after the snow fell, the words were a little darker.

From then on, he had the confidence to talk about business with Lord Liangcao, and after reading the small words in one go, Master Meng felt that three thousand taels of gold had made a lot of money.

Master Meng didn't go home, took the words and went directly to the Liangcao Yamen, after Lord Deng saw the handwriting, he looked at the payment and asked, "Who is this white medicine?"

Master Meng replied respectfully: "Li Baiyao of Qionglu Academy, Mr. is the great Confucian Hu Qixian. ”

Mr. Deng continued to admire the painting and sighed: "No wonder the handwriting is beautiful and noble. ”

Then he said: "I want to hand over the errand to you this year, to collect more food, the county keeper said a few days ago, Kaiyang County's errand this year may be heavier, last year's Ma Laosan made a big mistake, Boss Meng should be properly handled." ”

Master Meng knelt down and kowtowed, and said respectfully: "It's a small honor to be able to help adults run errands." ”

......

......

The Qingfeng Inn without the signboard hung up the old signboard again, the inn is closed today, those who don't want to shoot, now there is no chance to shoot, I heard that after being bought by someone with three thousand taels of gold, a few people hung their heads, they knew that it was so cheap, it was better to shoot early, in the inn, the proprietress actually didn't want to share a piece of gold to Liu Yi, because she felt that Liu Yi had no credit for this matter.

The boss said: "Daughter-in-law, you see that Liu Yi and the reader who writes are friends, that day you let the reader write, but the reader doesn't want to write, it was Liu Yi who insisted on reading before agreeing, which is also a credit." ”

The proprietress twisted the boss's ears and roared: "You old boy is talking nonsense again, you were drunk that day, and you slept on the table for a day, what do you know?"

The boss became more and more respectful, and said in a low voice: "The money is not exposed, since it has been leaked, why don't you give Liu Yi a little hush money?"

The proprietress pointed at the boss's eyebrows with her index finger and asked, "Master, have you shared your own money for this kid?"

The boss defended loudly, "Daughter-in-law, I really don't have it, the family affairs, that's all up to you, you can give it if you say it, and don't give it if you say you don't give it." ”

"Yes, I didn't say no, you actually yelled at me, sleep with the dog tonight. The proprietress cried and said, took out fifty taels of gold from the house, and handed it to the boss heavily.

On the mountain, Liu Yi had never encountered such a situation, and asked tentatively: "Should I get out?"

The boss replied, "No, I'll go out and do something." ”

Liu Yi asked, "What are you going to do at night?"

The boss seemed to be familiar with the road, and said conceitedly: "Enter the room with a shy face." ”

Liu Yi was very curious about what the boss said, so the proprietress agreed to buy the signboard and asked, "What did you say, the proprietress agreed to sell it?"

The boss replied, "I said I wanted to buy him rouge." ”

Liu Yi shook his head, "I don't understand." ”

The boss was old-fashioned, patted Liu Yi's shoulder, and educated: "Just remember it, maybe you kid will be able to use it in the future." ”

At night, Liu Yi was holding fifty taels of gold, and he was not a little sleepy with excitement, he had already thought about it, and he would go to buy a sword when he was free.

The boss came back and knocked on the door outside the upstairs, and it took two hours to knock on the door, and first the daughter-in-law opened the door and shouted something.

Later, it slowly became a love story, listening to the boss's loud voice, Liu Yi felt that the boss studied hard when he was young, and if he could come up with such a posture, he might not open an inn in Sword Gall City.

In the end, Liu Yi heard the meaty words of being careful with the liver, and the proprietress finally opened the door.

......

......

In the listening rain building, a young girl dressed in a fox fur chewed and ate the pastry slowly, and asked, "How is it?"

The boy named Xiaocui replied, "This afternoon, Master Meng bought it for three thousand taels of gold. ”

The young girl held the white cat and asked, "Didn't you make any trouble?"

Xiaocui replied, "Everyone is happy." ”

The young girl kicked away the white cat passing by, gritted her teeth and said, "Pull out the palm mouth, who made you happy?"

Tonight, Qingqing had a fire in her heart, she spent so much money, what she wanted was to smash the inn and let the couple beg on the street, and she ordered them to go down and let them live as good as pigs and dogs. Unexpectedly, Meng Yanchen changed his stinky temper and spent so much money, just to break the words, Qingqing also felt that he was ridiculous, and Meng Yanchen might not just want to catch the line in this officialdom.

......

......

Meng Yanchen pushed all the entertainment, every day at home to write letters to the major shopkeepers, after the spring of next year, those small heads of business will no longer be done, to change to the operation of iron mines, the purchase of people to eat and chew materials, the grain Cao Lord gave a word, next year's business will be on the right track, when the words of Lord Bing Cao down, then his business will really be escorted, since ancient times the collusion of officials and businessmen, or since ancient times the cooperation of officials and businessmen, can pass through the world, the big businessmen who are famous in history, have an intricate relationship in the officialdom.

Meng Yanchen wanted to make more good connections, he took the line of officialdom, and now he has been inquiring in many ways, a high-ranking disciple of the sect on the mountain, a reading seed of the Qionglu Academy, the two of them in the Sword Gall City, who did they meet, what words did they say to those people, those people are the people he wants to have a good relationship with, he is also ready to go to the outside of this Sword and Gall City to see who he wants to take refuge into, the family business he has worked so hard to build will not fall, when he was young, the business was done well, and he didn't care when it fell, and he still thought about the country he fought, and he had to spoil it himself to enjoy it。

When Meng Yanchen heard that the guy who was holding two bundles of shallots at the Qingfeng Inn was the one who called Li Du and Li Du brothers a month ago, Meng Yanchen couldn't wait to give himself two mouths, and regretted thinking that he should have helped him share a bundle at that time, and then set it up, and it was familiar.

In the following days, Meng Yanchen often went to Qingfeng Inn to eat noodles, the noodles in the inn were full of strength, but the condiments were a little worse, the shallots were not fresh, the soy sauce seemed to be mixed with water, and there was a taste for as much as he put it, just like Meng Yanchen's rich side still went to eat noodles with seven copper coins every day, the owner of Qingfeng Inn got three thousand taels of gold, and still insisted on adding water to the soy sauce every day.

Qingfeng Inn hired two guys, the proprietress was no longer busy inside and out, and the boss no longer slept on the table, and the first thing he did when he got up every day was to put on his daughter-in-law's makeup thrush.

Liu Yi once secretly said to the boss that the boss is so good at makeup, maybe she used to go to those places where she laughed, let her guard against it, the boss didn't believe it in her heart, but from that day on, every night before going to bed, the boss would ask the boss about the past, the boss didn't like to say, the boss asked again and again, tossed for a long time, she was angry, and the money to the boss was less, at this time the boss felt that what the mother said before was very right, the money still had to be in the hands of the woman, and the life could be steady.

When Master Meng came, the boss would nod his head, and the two would also talk about the weather or something, Boss Meng often called Liu Yi to sit next to him, Liu Yi didn't agree, their inn was really busy, they were busy repairing, and they were busy serving tea and water.

The inn was repaired, but it didn't do much to do anything, and the lime walls were repainted and replaced with a few decayed pillars.

The wine shop that those ruffians used to go to was closed, but now they have changed to the Qingfeng Inn to drink, and some men who are about to be empty for the New Year will also come here to ask for a big bowl of tea for three pennies, and they can sit and chat all afternoon without moving their buttocks.

The New Year is approaching, the boss and his wife are busy buying New Year's goods every day, Liu Yi is busy all day, the boss has a heart, pulled a few feet of cloth for him, and let the tailor shop make two clothes, one cyan, the boss said that the cyan wears spirit, a gray, and it is more convenient to work.

Liu Yi wore it on his body, knowing that the fabric was very expensive, and Liu Yi was very grateful to the boss and his wife, and when the proprietress asked him to guard the inn, he agreed, and said that he wanted to buy two couplets to stick on both sides of the door.
