Chapter 18 Taiping Restaurant
Taiping Town, in front of a grocery store.
Lin Yi asked the shopkeeper to weigh ten catties of salt and asked him to wrap it, and then he happily paid the bill, holding the salt bag in both hands and coming to a remote street corner. There are also two large bales of japonica rice piled up in the corner of the street, each weighing 100 catties. The divine sense scanned the surroundings and noticed that no one was approaching, so he flicked his sleeves and put the japonica rice and salt packets into the Qiankun bag.
Clapping his hands, Lin Yihun walked back to the street as if nothing had happened.
Looking up at the sky, it was not early to come out. It's noon, so it's better to walk around for a while and leave. Lin was scheming, walked down the street, and looked up at both sides of the street.
In front of the ready-to-wear shop, a guy was greeting the guests with a flattering face, and when he saw Lin Yi nearby, he just wanted to nod and say hello, his smile froze, and he looked away, as if he hadn't seen it.
Lin Yi was stunned by this guy, and then looked down at the shabby gray shirt on his body, and the shoes that had been opened, and then he was stunned. He shook his head self-deprecatingly and continued to walk forward. The young man behind him glanced at his back disdainfully, and hurriedly changed his smiling face to greet other passers-by.
Adjacent to the garment shop is a pharmacy. There are a lot of herbs in the valley behind the immortal top, maybe they can be picked and sold here, or they can be exchanged for some silver taels? Lin Yi glanced up at the door of the pharmacy and thought to himself.
From time to time, a few horses, with the crisp sound of horses' hooves, galloped through the street, leading passers-by to look back and avoid them. The people on the horse were all dressed in strong suits and carrying weapons. What do these guys do?
A fragrance wafted in, Lin Yi turned around to look for it, and saw that it was Taiping Restaurant. There are also a few horses tied to the side of the restaurant. On the other side, there are two tables selling fresh meat buns that have just come out of the cage. Seeing this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He took out a few copper plates in his arms, checked them in his hands, and walked forward.
A guy in front of the door saw it and hurriedly greeted: "Little brother, please!"
"Hey, hey, don't bother, I'm just buying two buns to eat. Lin Yi hurriedly waved his hand and grinned.
The young man nodded with a smile, quickly glanced at the other party from the corner of his eyes, and said quite enthusiastically: "The buns in my Taiping Restaurant are thin and thick, fragrant and delicious, and there are all tables and stools at the door, so the little brother can sit down and rest and enjoy the buns." ”
"Tea doesn't cost money!" The man turned his head and greeted Lin Yi in an easy-going tone, and then returned to the front of the restaurant to work.
Lin Yi thanked the young man, asked for the steamed buns, leaned over and sat on the stool, enjoying the delicious fragrance.
The young man was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was dressed in blue, and his whole body was neat and tidy. After a while, he brought Lin Yi a pot of tea. This guy has clean eyebrows and eyes, and he is kind, which makes people feel good.
Those who eat wine and food will enter the restaurant, and it is not bad to eat steamed buns and sit outside the door, and you can also see the excitement on the street!
Lin Yi didn't have no money, although he only had some scattered silver and copper plates in his arms, he still had dozens of taels of silver in his bag! It's good enough to eat a bun once in a while to satisfy your cravings. When I meditate and practice on weekdays, my desire for mouth has faded a lot. In the jade slip, it is said that those who cultivate immortals do not eat the fireworks of the world, and those who cultivate to the advanced level can open the valley without eating or drinking.
But this bun is really delicious and delicious!
The afternoon sun warms the body and is very comfortable. Lin Yi closed his eyes comfortably, chewing the deliciousness of the buns, and his consciousness slowly opened and extended into the restaurant......
The restaurant is divided into two floors, the first floor is at the front of the counter, and a row of half-person-high wine jars are placed behind it. At the counter, an old man was writing something with a pen in his hand. There is a staircase next to the counter, which leads to the second floor of the restaurant.
In the lobby, there are seven or eight tables scattered around, and they are already full. There are those who drink lightly, and there are those who shout five and drink six, a lively scene. Among them, several men sitting around a table spoke quite loudly, which aroused Lin Yi's curiosity, and he couldn't help but use his ears to argue carefully.
"Brother Gu, you have come all the way here from the Iron Fist Gate, could it be that you have heard any rumors?" a man with a round face and thin eyes, his high-pitched voice turned low sharply, and asked a red-faced middle-aged man mysteriously.
When the red-faced man heard this, he put down his wine glass and looked around, and couldn't help but look angry, and said loudly: "Brother Li's words are wrong! Your iron gun gate is also thousands of miles away, so you must not have come to see the scenery!"
The noise in the lobby was silent, and everyone bowed their heads as if they hadn't heard anything.
"Hehe, don't worry, Brother Gu. Come, brother, how about a cup of respect?" a lean man with a short chin raised his glass and drank it, and then hurriedly said with an empty cup. The man surnamed Gu snorted, and poured a glass of wine on his neck.
And the man surnamed Li, who provoked the conversation, did not echo, and his eyes narrowed into thin slits, and the essence flashed. He squinted at a short man sitting next to him, picked up his wine glass and said, "Brother Liu, don't drink alone! Come, let's have a drink!"
The Liu brother was silent, he pouted, raised his glass and gave way to the other party, raised his head and drank a glass of wine. The man surnamed Li poured the wine for him again, raised the corners of his eyes slightly, laughed hehe, and said: "Brother Liu! Your platoon gang is also a big gang! Wherever you go, you don't dare to let people look down." Alas, unlike Li's small sect, he is not welcomed. After this person finished speaking in a strange voice, there was a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, and he coldly returned the red-faced man of the Iron Fist Gate.
"Hmph! I'm not a big gang in Iron Fist. But I'm sitting upright at the end of the ancient heavenly stone, who dares to underestimate me for half a point?" said the red-faced man slapping the table. This man's original name was Gu Tianshi, tall and long-armed, burly and strong, red-faced, tiger-eyed, and upright in temperament!
"Brother Gu is right!" The thin man on the side hurriedly stretched out his thumb and praised again and again, and did not forget to pat his chest. Under the gesture, his chin immediately shortened, as if it was gone, but it did not prevent the person from continuing to spit and splash.
"My money gang is also a small sect, and I, Hu Wancai, admire such a well-known good man as Brother Gu! Come, brother will give Brother Gu another drink!" said that he raised his glass and dried it first, putting on a bold appearance.
"Thank you, Brother Hu, it's done!" Gu Tianshi also poured a cup neatly.
"Isn't it just a trick to force people to sell children and sell women!
A mocking voice floated out of a corner of the lobby, but it made everyone sitting hear it clearly, causing a burst of laughter, and the lobby of the restaurant suddenly became noisy.
Seeing everyone's teasing eyes glance at him, the corners of Hu Wancai's eyes twitched, his face turned sharply, and with a "snap", he smashed the wine glass to pieces. He jumped up and shouted, "Damn, who chews his tongue behind his back? Do you dare to stand up and report your grandfather!"
The laughter in the lobby suddenly stopped, and the man surnamed Li, who was still smiling, glanced at Hu Wancai, who was anxious and white-faced, playfully, picked up the wine glass meaningfully, and took a deep sip.
The man surnamed Liu sat upright and didn't move, but Gu Tianshi moved to the side as if he had been pierced by a nail under his buttocks.
Seeing that no one dared to respond, Hu Wancai's expression was a little more arrogant, and he scolded: "Hide your head and show your tail, you can't be a good man, grandpa doesn't care about the younger generation, hum!" He rolled up his sleeves, felt that he had regained some face, and wanted to sit down.
"A dog can also pop out of its mouth with ivory, whip you, you really think you are a big black!" the mocking voice just now sounded again. In the lobby of the restaurant, there was a burst of laughter, and there was a cheer of slapping the table.
Hu Wancai was embarrassed, his brain couldn't turn around, and he couldn't help but casually answer: "What is Da Hei?" This time following the voice, he finally saw the master who found fault.
In front of the square table in the corner of the lobby, a young man in white, with a faint sneer on his handsome face, was looking at Hu Wancai provocatively. There were also two sturdy men sitting at the same table, who should be this person's entourage.
"Dahei? Dahei is my mount, hehe! My horse is called Dahei!" the young man chuckled softly and unhurriedly with mockery in his tone.
The noisy sound gradually stopped, and probably everyone had laughed enough, and they all had a lively mind, and they all watched from the side.
Being kicked in the face for no reason, Hu Wancai felt deeply wronged, but his own money gang itself is also gambling and lending, how can he make money if he doesn't do things that lack virtue! And this young man is dignified and has an extraordinary bearing, which makes people unable to understand the depths. He didn't dare to continue scolding, but he had to say the words of the scene, which is also a kind of charlatanism, shame is not a loss, shame is not a loss of money.
Hu Wancai took a step forward, straightened his chest, hugged his fist, and his chin disappeared again.
"I'm helping Hu Wancai with money, I've seen this brother! If Hu has offended, please advise!" After speaking, Hu Wancai made a square bow to everyone again. Xindao, my rivers and lakes are full of etiquette, what can you find?
"Hehe!" The man in white chuckled, slowly stood up, lazily clenched his fist and raised, and said, "I don't dare to advise, I just said the truth in passing." When everyone heard this, another snickering sound sounded.
The man in white waved his hand, didn't look at Hu Wancai, and said to himself: "Qin Buyou in the Xia Nailong City Dart Bureau." All of you fellow rivers and lakes gathered in this great business northwest place, presumably because of the destruction of Black Wind Village, right?"
There was silence in the lobby, Qin Buyou glanced around, sneered, and continued: "A few months ago, the goods escorted by the Taiping Dart Bureau were robbed, and the next home of the goods is my Longcheng Dart Bureau. Therefore, our dart bureau and the Taiping dart bureau joined forces to destroy the Black Wind Village. This move is not only to avenge the serious injury of Mr. Yuan's dart, but also related to the livelihood and reputation of my dart bureau. I don't know if I can explain it for you in the next paragraph?"
"It turned out to be Qin Shao's dart head, Gu Tianshi in the Iron Fist Gate!" Gu Tianshi got up and hugged his fist.
"Brother Gu, it's polite!" Qin Buyou also replied with a free and easy salute.
"I don't know what the goods looted in Black Wind Village this time are, and who is the owner of the goods? Qin Shao can tell me one or two?" Gu Tianshi then asked.
"Hehe, everyone knows the rules of the dart game!" Qin Buyou smiled and shook his head.
Gu Tianshi's face turned even redder and sat down.
"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this batch of goods is related to the rise and fall of the Jianghu sect, I don't know if it's true or not?" As if he was afraid of getting involved with the other party, Hu Wancai wanted to dodge to the side, but he didn't move, he didn't move, his face was full of embarrassment.
"Oh, this ......?" Qin Buyou raised the corner of his eye. The other party replied in a deep voice: "Help Liu Juhu in the lower row"
"This Brother Liu, hehe! Interesting!" Qin Buyou said with a smile, but his face became gloomy, his tone changed sharply, and he said coldly:
"Rumors in the rivers and lakes? Brother Liu is not a three-year-old child, do you believe that rumor?"
Liu Juhu's eyes were still staring at Qin Buyou, and he said reluctantly: "I just want to know the truth of this rumor." ”
"Joke! Young Master Ben still wants to know where the rumors are coming from! Can Brother Liu tell me in detail?" Qin Buyou's tone was angry, and he coldly reprimanded: "Hmph! ”
"It's not that you don't know, but you don't want to tell everyone?" Liu Juhu reached out and grabbed a long knife on the table, and said to Qin Buyou with an expressionless face: "Please also ask Qin Shao to teach you a lesson or two." ”
"Haha! bark incessantly, and deserve to be taught a lesson. After Qin Buyou stared at the other party, his chin was raised, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and he walked out. Two attendants, close behind.
Liu Juhu tightened his thick arm and clenched the handle of the knife fiercely, and there was a murderous intent in Mu Ran's expression. Like a beast of prey, he hurried out.
