Chapter 009: The Ruffian (2)
Come to think of it, but if you do it, it will make the shopkeeper unwilling.
The shopkeeper continued to stare at and said unhappily, "Then how did you get in?"
The blind man shook his head helplessly, he already felt that the attitude of the shopkeeper was very unfriendly, because he knew that a blind man was welcome to be seen, so he could only smile bitterly: "I'm a blind man, of course I came in by touch." ”
The shopkeeper hugged his arms and said coldly, "Then how did you buy wine?"
The blind man continued to smile bitterly: "Of course I touched the past. ”
The shopkeeper glared fiercely, and said unhappily: "Then why can't you touch the past now?"
The blind man thought for a while, laughed at himself with a bitter face, and muttered: "Little brother, this is just embarrassing me as a blind person, you know it yourself, at this moment, this inn is almost full of people, and I can only drink two sips of wine in peace of mind by hiding here." If you ask me why I can't touch the past now, I can only answer in three words: there are too many people. ”
Although the blind man is blind, he is a blind man who tells the truth.
He was right, this inn was almost full of people, not to mention a blind person, that is, a person who is not blind walking in the middle, it is inevitable that he will bump into one or two people.
The shopkeeper glanced at the blind man with a glance, his expression was still very impatient, he put on a very mean face, and said in a heavy and mean tone: "But I'm very busy, how can I have time to serve you alone?" Everyone here wants a room to go to the counter by themselves to ask, and if you want a room, of course you should go over and ask yourself." ”
He had time to hide here and discuss the topic of "can you laugh" with a blind man, why didn't he have time to find a room for the guests?
After all, I still feel that the person in front of me is just a blind man, and he is a blind man who doesn't look like he is rich.
looked down on the blind and the rich, so the shopkeeper was not very willing to take care of the shabby-dressed blind man in front of him.
The blind man touched his nose with a smile, his mind turned, and he could probably guess why the shopkeeper's attitude was so bad, so he could only smile bitterly, and asked for accommodation with a worried and timid face: "I know that the little brother is very busy, and I really shouldn't be here to disturb the little brother and make trouble for the little brother, but the little brother also saw it, I'm just a blind man, and it's always more difficult for the blind to do things than ordinary people, isn't it?
"Do you dare to come out and run around blindly knowing that you are blind?" said the shopkeeper very harshly, full of discrimination and contempt. He was not originally a rich man, but in front of a person who was poorer than him, he had enough confidence to despise him, "The blind man still wants to live in the hotel, do you know how tight the rooms in the inn are now?
The blind man was stunned, probably not expecting that the shopkeeper would hurt his face so much, but he soon laughed again. He seems to love to laugh, and no matter how harsh and bitter other people's words are, it doesn't seem to hurt his self-esteem.
The blind man smiled brightly, and I don't know if he was really that happy. He laughed as he quickly pulled out a silver ingot from his baggage.
The silver is real, and it is a full ten taels.
The blind man stuffed the silver into the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "I'll stay for two nights, ten taels of silver should be enough." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the silver, and his heart jumped a little, he was really startled by this ingot of silver. It's not because the silver is very heavy, but he really didn't expect that this blind man, who looks very shabby, actually has silver on him.
It's a pity that ten taels of silver is not much.
The shopkeeper was still very impatient, but when he saw that the blind man had already taken out the silver, and he was still talking to him with a smile, his own attitude changed a little, but he was still a little shelf, raised his eyebrows and said lazily: "I didn't have any malice when I spoke like that just now, but now this inn is indeed full." If you want to find a room, it can be a bit difficult. ”
After hearing this, the blind man took out a silver ingot from the old bag and stuffed it into the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "I will live in a room alone." ”
The shopkeeper immediately widened his eyes again, and said harshly: "You are a blind man and still want to live in a room? Do you think there is a room for yourself that can be wasted? If it is known that I have prepared a room for you alone, will I be in trouble?"
The blind man took out another ingot of silver, put it in the hand of the shopkeeper, and grinned: "I can always live in one room if I pay for five or six people's rooms, right? ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the three ingots of silver in his hand, this time, his attitude finally changed, only to see him smile and accept the silver, that smile was all over his face, and even his eyes smiled. He politely pulled the blind man up from the ground, and then said with a smile: "In this case, then I will go and ask for you, although we have many guests here, there are also many rooms, and maybe there are one or two vacant items that are possible." ”
I saw him take one ingot, put it in his pocket, and use the other two to open a room for the blind man.
It's a pity for a blind man to stay in a room. But if one person pays for five or six people's houses, and if this transaction is not done, won't the store become a fool?
The blind man is so generous, and the attitude of the shopkeeper towards him has also changed a lot, running before and after serving, for fear that it will make a blind man uncomfortable.
The shopkeeper led the blind man to a guest room on the second floor, and kept talking to the blind man excitedly, as if he was talking to himself. At this time, the blind man's words seemed to become less, and he only responded occasionally, and was not very willing to speak.
The shopkeeper didn't notice the change in the blind man's attitude, because all the guests he received had always treated him with this attitude, and those guests were not willing to deal with him.
But the fact that others ignore him does not affect his hospitality.
As soon as the blind man sat down, he ordered the shopkeeper to fetch him a basin of water for washing his feet.
The shopkeeper's smile gradually condensed at this time, but he still ran downstairs very warmly and politely to wash his feet.
At this time, he knew that he was not serving a blind man, but money, silver.
The shopkeeper was willing to be called, and the blind man was not troublesome, so he just asked someone to bring a basin of foot washing water, and let someone come in with a jar of wine.
The shopkeeper carried the wine jar into the guest room, and couldn't help but be surprised: "The guest officer is really massive!"
Of course, he remembered how much the blind man had drunk today, and he thought that it was impossible for ordinary people to drink like this.
The blind man said triumphantly: "Although I am blind, I drink a lot of wine, if I want to drink, the wine in your store is not enough for me to drink alone." ”
The shopkeeper only thought he was bragging, but he still said with a nice mouth: "We don't have much in the store, just a lot of wine, as long as the guest officer wants to drink, how much he wants." ”
The blind man nodded.
After a few more words, the shopkeeper was about to go out, and when he left, he casually turned off the lights in the room.
Unexpectedly, he had just turned off the lights when he heard the blind man say, "Please light the lamp." ”
The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, looked back at the blind man, and laughed in a low voice: "Guest officer, the lamp is still burning." ”
The blind man straightened his face all of a sudden, and said coldly: "You bullied me for being blind." ”
The shopkeeper was slightly embarrassed, so he had to light the lamp.
It's just a blind man, what are you doing with a lamp?
The blind should not have access to the light.
The shopkeeper said uneasily: "Guest officer, you have to remember to turn off the fire when you are resting, if there is a fire here, it is not a trivial matter." The store is full of big people who live tonight, if you ...... here."
"Alright. The blind man interrupted the shopkeeper unhappily and said angrily: "Do you think I, a blind man, can't even put out a lamp?"
Seeing that the blind man was unhappy, the shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "Where is it, how dare the little one think like this?" I am just afraid that the guest officer will be inconvenient, since the guest officer said that it is okay, then it is okay, it is a small mouthful. If the guest officer doesn't have any orders, can the little one go? There are many guests here today, and there are many things, no, I still have to bring people foot water. ”
The blind man's face was still displeased, he pointed to the ground in front of the window, and said angrily, "Bring me the lamp and put it here." ”
The shopkeeper had no choice but to comply.
Of course a blind man doesn't need a lamp, but it's not surprising that an eccentric blind man needs a lamp. Moreover, this blind man's strange place is not only this, because he immediately ordered the shopkeeper to do an even stranger thing.
I saw the blind man take off his clothes, and then throw them into the shopkeeper, and said, "Hang my clothes on the window." ”
The shopkeeper looked at the closed window, how to hang this dress?
Seeing that he didn't move, the blind man said coldly: "You open the window, and your clothes can be hung up, don't you understand?"
The shopkeeper glared at the blind man fiercely, a blind man, and it was even more difficult to serve than other guests. Although he was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the blind man, he could only do what he said to the blind man. Because in his eyes, whoever pays more is the uncle, and he just took five taels of silver from others, so of course he should do things for others. However, he really couldn't imagine that this blind man who looked weak and small had such a big temper.
There was a low table in the room that was used to store clothes and luggage, but this blind man wanted to hang his clothes on the window?
Hanging his clothes on the window, the shopkeeper originally wanted to leave quietly like this, but before he could reach the door, he was stopped by the blind man again.
The shopkeeper could only sigh, could only walk back, and said with a smile: "What else does the guest officer command?"
The blind man had already come out of bed, walked up and down the room barefoot, and said, "Go, bring me three sticks of incense." ”
