Chapter 372: The Little Man's Way of Survival

On this day, the two rode into the town on good horses, which attracted a lot of attention, but Yan Xu was dressed as a standard son-in-law, with a beautiful jade hanging on his waist, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and looking around curiously, while the iron-clothed man in brocade clothes followed closely behind half a horse, obviously the personal guard of this son-in-law.

The identities of the two are true, Yan Xu is indeed a son, and the iron-clothed guest is indeed a guard, performing in his true colors, those people in the rivers and lakes naturally can't see the flaws, and they think that it is a bold boy who came to join in the fun, this kind of thing is not unseen, so he quickly looked away.

The two of them came all the way to the largest restaurant in the area, the door of this restaurant is on the shore, the building is on the lake, surrounded by lotus flowers, if you sit in front of the window, it is like taking a giant boat to wander on the lake, there is a unique flavor.

Before getting off the horse, the shopkeeper walked quickly with a smile on his face, hurriedly asked people to lead the horse to the stable to take care of it, and then took the two to the window position on the second floor, and first served four kinds of snacks, four fresh fruits, and a pot of good hot tea.

This is also exquisite, if it is an ordinary guest, the shopkeeper will not dare to do this, because this will definitely make the guest think that this is a black shop, ready to make money, and set up a table before he speaks, not what is money.

But if you don't do this in the face of a boy like Yan Xu, who is not bad at money, it will make the other party feel that he has been neglected, so it depends on the eyesight of the shopkeeper, otherwise he will definitely cause trouble.

However, Yan Xu and the two iron-clad guests are very easy to identify, and they must belong to the kind of people who have status and are not bad for money, so they naturally have to be entertained well.

Sure enough, Yan Xu was relieved to use the dim sum and fresh fruit in front of him, and the iron-clothed guest directly asked Xiao Er to serve two pots of good wine and a few signature dishes first, without asking the price at all, this is not bad money.

"This lotus fish really lives up to its name, and this clear lotus wine is also good. Yan Xu ate half of the fish in one go, took a sip from the wine glass, felt the clear taste, and immediately said with a smile, obviously very satisfied.

"It's delicious, it's just not enjoyable. The iron-clothed guest had already drunk a pot, but although this Qinghe wine was in line with the taste of the literati, it was not suitable for the heroes of the rivers and lakes to drink, so after drinking a pot, he asked someone to bring a jar of spirits.

Now that he has achieved success inside and outside, he will not get drunk easily at all, and he is naturally not afraid of delaying things, so he can drink freely.

Yan Xu shook his head, he doesn't like spirits, of course he may like them when he grows up, but now he still likes clear lotus wine with a sweet taste.

"This fish is delicious, but there are fewer of them, Xiao Er, and another lotus fish." Yan Xu ate two more bites of fish and felt that it was not enjoyable, so he opened his mouth and shouted.

Xiao Er walked over with a difficult face and said carefully.

"This son, if you want other signature dishes in our store, it is as much as you want, but this lotus fish is only this one, if you are not a distinguished guest, the shopkeeper is reluctant to let people send it. ”

"Oh, this huge lotus lake can't be the only one fish, if not, let someone call, send a son and reward him with ten taels of silver. Yan Xu said very arrogantly, for him, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.

"Childe, the villain will tell you the truth, there is a monster in this lotus lake, making waves in the lake all day long, who dares to enter the lake to fish, before there was bold, but the net is broken and the boat sinks, and the heavy is a water ghost, so far no one dares to enter the lake to fish for more than half a month, if you don't get rid of the monster, the fisherman of the lotus lake can only go up the mountain to chop firewood for a living. Xiao Er whispered beside Yan Xu.

At first, this matter was still covered, but then it slowly spread, and a few scholars dared to row into the lake and almost drowned, so the shopkeeper told Xiao Er to be smarter, and told those restless sons and literati not to mess around, for fear of causing trouble if someone died.

"Interesting, I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. Yan Xu pretended to be interested and said, then took out a dime of silver and threw it to Xiao Er, and then asked.

"I also heard that there are divine weapons here, could it be some kind of magic weapon, such as the kind used by immortals that can fly around with light. ”

Seeing Yan Xu's excited eyes, Xiao Er secretly complained to himself, for fear that this lord would also run to the lake, in case he drowned, how could the other party's parents give up, and they should not open the restaurant, so he hurriedly said.

"It's not an immortal magic weapon, someone has seen that weapon, it's just a dark big knife, it won't shine at all, let alone fly around. Xiao Er hurriedly explained, but he didn't want to attract the ridicule of a table of people nearby.

"Although that weapon is not a magic weapon of the fairy family, it is also a magic weapon, some people have seen the fishing boat that was split by a knife, the fracture is as smooth as a mirror, I think it is a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay, but it is not suitable for you like a fine-skinned and tender brother, or go home obediently to eat milk." The man who spoke was not very old, but he looked ugly, so he naturally couldn't get used to the handsome Yan Xu, so he laughed.

But he didn't want the face of the older man at the table to change, and slapped the other party's head, almost making the ugly man slam on the table, even then it was embarrassing.

However, this ugly man was deeply afraid of that man, so he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

The man stood up and clasped his hands into fists.

"The companions below drank too much wine and talked nonsense, hoping that the son would forgive me. ”

"If you drink too much, go back and rest, in case you fall, it's not good to kowtow and break your head and bleed, wouldn't it be a bloody disaster. Yan Xu said with a little meaning.

"Thank you for your kindness, and leave with your companions. After speaking, he didn't wait for a reply, he picked up the ugly man, dropped a piece of broken silver, and left.

This ugly man is naturally not a fool to survive until now, he can already see that he has offended someone who should not be offended, so he also pretended to be drunk, and when he walked out of the door, he stumbled and almost fell into the mud, which caused a lot of ridicule.

But this is also the way of survival of the little people, if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, you have to admit it quickly, don't hesitate, and then make yourself embarrassed, like a clown, so that the other party feels that it is not worth the shot, so that they can escape, and all they pay is a little ridicule, but compared to life, this is nothing.

Yan Xu could only see some of the actions of the two, but the iron-clad man could see it clearly, so he took this opportunity to explain to Yan Xu the survival of the little people.

"That is, the man recognized the two of us coming?" Yan Xu scratched his head and face, did he think he was so famous?

"It recognized me, and I just remembered that the man was a little familiar, and I thought I had seen it. "The iron-clothed guest has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he has seen countless rivers and lakes, how can he recognize them all, but what he can't remember is estimated to be a small role that is not famous, and it is not worth mentioning.
