Chapter 926, Raise a glass and get together

The business of the Four Seas Inn has been really full every day, and the seats are full. Not only because this is the chess arena that has been flourishing in Yangzhou City in recent times. What's more, because of the unique apricot blossom brew of the Four Seas Inn, the mellow aroma is incomparable, and the number of chess friends and drinkers who come every day is amazing. The Yue sisters have gained a complete foothold in this Yangzhou City in just a short period of ten months, not only turning the Four Seas Inn into the largest inn in Yangzhou, making a lot of money, but also robbing the Wei family's business in Yangzhou. For a time, the power of the Wei family declined greatly, and the main family had to go to other cities. The pattern of the four major merchants in Yangzhou City being almost equally divided was immediately broken and became a three-legged stand.

The other two couldn't help but be very worried when they saw that the Han family had squeezed out the Wei family. They came forward to discuss with Han Shigui, and Han Shigui knew it. It can be regarded as peaceful, saying that his competition with the Wei family is because of the Wei family's first provocation, and the Han family has to fight back. And it is guaranteed that it will never trespass on the business field of the other two without authorization. In order to show his sincerity, Han Shigui set a rule that the only cabinet and money bank that have cross-business names with two banks, and only projects with an amount greater than a certain amount will be accepted by the Han family, and if it is a small deposit, the Han family will automatically transfer the guest to the two houses. The other two families went back with confidence.

Han Shigui also knew in his heart that the Han family was now more and more powerful, and what they needed was no longer money, but credibility and reputation. Sometimes business opponents don't have to be wiped out, and using them as a green leaf to set off the safflower is what a really smart businessman should really do. And there is room for doing things, at this time to give the other two families some room to survive, if the Han family needs to use these two places in the future, I am afraid it will be much more convenient to negotiate. At least you can make a good deal.

However, today's Four Seas Inn is closed with a wooden sign on the door that says "closed today", indicating that it will not do business today. A large number of admiring drinkers and chess friends gathered in front of the door, and after groups of onlookers, groups of disappointed left.

But at this time, on the ninth floor of the inn, a person was opening a gap in the window and looking down curiously. Suddenly, I heard a woman say happily: "The dishes have been served, everyone, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

The man turned his head, and it turned out to be Linghu Yu'er.

She looked at the table, and at this time a large round table was full of all kinds of delicacies, about thirty or forty dishes, whether it was carving, modeling, plating, or color, all of them were excellent dishes, and the rich aroma wafting from that time was even more appetizing.

Luo Xiaocheng looked at the table full of dishes in surprise, and said, "I'm afraid the dishes on this table will cost a lot of money." ”

Yue Wuyan on the side said with a smile: "This table of dishes, it looks like about five thousand taels of silver." However, because this is Allure's own cooking, 50,000 gold can't be eaten. ”

Everyone was surprised, and Ran Tianluo said: "I didn't expect Sister Allure to have such exquisite craftsmanship." ”

Yue Chengcheng picked up the small wine bottle in his hand, poured wine for her with a light smile, and said, "The girl praised it." Rough craftsmanship, don't be weird. ”

Luo Xiaocheng said: "It's no wonder that the two shopkeepers can take care of the restaurant so well, in addition to the ability to manage things, this cooking ability will never be bad." Yue Chengcheng said with a smile: "Brother Luo might as well try it and then make a judgment." In the past ten months, several people have gone to the Four Seas Inn almost every day, and everyone and the two shopkeepers have almost become acquainted, and they are no longer so polite to each other.

Luo Xiaocheng picked up the chopsticks excitedly, and was about to clip a fish in front of him, when the chopsticks suddenly froze, he turned his face and smiled: "Let's say okay first, Luo didn't bring any money today." ”

Yue Wuyan chuckled and said, "It's okay, you can take credit first, don't be in a hurry to pay it back." ”

Luo Xiaocheng laughed and said, "Okay, just take it on credit." After that, he took a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, suddenly stared at his eyes, and slowly tapped his thumb.

"This is the best fish I've ever eaten!!"

Yue Chengcheng arrived at a circle of wine, just in front of him, deliberately changed a big glass, and said with a smile: "Brother Luo likes it, my sister is joking with you, a few people have helped the inn turn a lot in the past few days, we have to collect money again, what is that like." ”

Luo Xiaocheng slapped the table and said happily: "The shopkeeper of Yue Er is listening to what he says, and Luo likes what you say." ”

Han Lun said: "But a day off will affect a lot of your business." It doesn't matter. ”

Yue Chengcheng waved his hand and said, "A few people are working hard, aren't they going to leave again now." If it opens, my sisters won't be able to spare it. Being able to get together with you today can be regarded as a little bit of the heart of our sisters, and it should be practiced by a few of us. ”

Yue Wuyan added: "But Han Gongzi and Second Miss Han can rest assured, our sisters will bear the losses of this day, and half of today's planned income will still be transferred to the Han family's account." ”

Han Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no! I, Han Xuan, am such an unreasonable person." This Four Seas Restaurant is under your full control, naturally you have an income, the Han family has it, and the Han family will never take your money. Some time ago, the Han family spent a lot of money, but in this month, the income of Sihai Restaurant alone has filled nearly one-third of the gap. My dad and I didn't have time to thank our two sisters. ”

Han Lun also nodded and said, "I'm afraid that the two of you will misunderstand, I'm just worried that the two of you will lose, and Xiao Xuan is taking care of the business affairs, she said so, you don't have to worry about it." Moreover, the girl in Allure cooks herself, what else can I say about such an honor. He stood up, raised his glass and said, "Let's toast the two shopkeepers together, borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and chat to express gratitude." ”

Everyone got up one after another, raised their glasses and drank with the moon and the moon.

In the midst of laughter, he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and staggered the plan. Wine and food, time flows quietly. During the banquet, Yue Wuyan and Luo Xiaocheng made a wine order, both of them were masters of wine, and everyone couldn't help but applaud again and again. Yu'er and Han Xuan were chattering and whispering on the side, sometimes laughing happily, while Ran Tianluo asked Yue Chengcheng for advice on how to cook the dishes. Ben Sheng Hanlun and Shi Yunyang calmly corresponded, chatting with each other about the past and future.

Moments of pleasure always pass quickly, and when a meal is over, it turns out that the time is already evening. When everyone went out, they saw that the streets were already sparsely populated, except for the fireworks and willow alleys, most of the rest of the streets had been turned off and closed, and some shops were closing the door panels. The watchman walked away from the end of the street with the sound of a dangdang gong.

"Wow...... The weather is dry, be careful of the candles, lock the doors and windows, and pay attention to the anti-theft!"

"It's been a day. Han Lun shook his flushed face, Yu'er frowned and helped him, and said with a look of disgust: "You smell so bad when you drink." Han Lun smiled and deliberately burped at her, and Yu'er screamed and jumped away.

"You Han Lun villain, stop!" As he spoke, Han Lun had already staggered and ran towards the street. Yu'er immediately ran after him. Han Xuan shouted, "You guys wait for me!"

Ran Tianluo was also a little drunk, but he was in a good mood today, and although he drank a few more glasses, he didn't get drunk. The Yue sisters sent a few people out, and Yue Wuyan said, "Tomorrow we will go to the dock to see you off." Don't leave early. ”

Luo Xiaocheng smiled and said, "I must wait for you, say goodbye!" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave. Shi Yunyang suddenly remembered something, walked a few steps, paused, turned around and said, "Allure girl, can you take a step to speak." ”

Yue Chengcheng turned around, a little strange, but he didn't care, nodded, Yue Wuyan gave a shallow salute, and turned around and went back to the inn. Yueqicheng approached and said, "What's the matter with Engong?" ”

Shi Yunyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Where is the girl from Allure?"

Yueqicheng suddenly felt a little strange, why didn't he come and ask about his hometown again. However, he still replied truthfully: "The little girl was originally from Chang'an, and her parents were from Chang'an. Therefore, it is an authentic Central Plains person, and the Wuhu Restaurant is also the initial industry of the family, and later the sister became independent from the family, which led to the end of the Four Seas Inn. ”

Shi Yunyang nodded and said, "In the girl's past, have there been any unusual times, what particularly strange people have been encountered, what particularly strange things have been seen, or what extraordinary things have been encountered. ”

Yue Chengcheng's figure trembled slightly, but in an instant, it had been captured by Shi Yunyang. Yue Chengcheng nodded and said, "If there is, the first thing to bear the brunt of should be the battle between men and demons in Chang'an City." Perhaps it was at that time that I learned that there were other beings in this world. And it's so powerful. I have been in business for more than ten years, but unfortunately it was destroyed in an instant. ”

Shi Yunyang was a little skeptical, after all, he had sensed the power of Qiyao on her before, and at that time, he had always felt that the woman in front of him was by no means simple, but after a period of secret investigation, he did not gain anything. He frowned, "That's it?"

Yuecheng said strangely: "Please forgive Allure for being stupid, I really don't know what Engong is referring to, can you make it clear one or two?"

Shi Yunyang looked at her eyes, and the moon suddenly avoided his direct gaze, and walked in shame: "Engong"

Shi Yunyang did not retract his eyes because of this, he said seriously: "Allure girl, you have listened to what I am going to say next. If you don't understand, then you don't say it. He half-turned around, looked at the figure of Ran Tianluo, who was walking away step by step, and said:

"There is already too much sin in this world, endless suffering. But fortunately, there are always people who can stand at the top of justice, with the sword in their hands, to protect the people they want to protect. Their power is the blade that puts an end to these sufferings. But not everyone has to take on such responsibilities. The sword has a double edge, and if you are not careful, you can hurt yourself. The biggest dream of every sword wielder is to one day be able to put down the sword in his hand and live an ordinary life. Blandness is something too precious, and I hope you don't abandon the place where your heart should return for a little bit of strength. Pick up that sword, sooner or later you will hurt yourself, and you will hurt your loved ones. Even if you can't let go completely, it's best not to use that power lightly, if not, maybe the consequences are not something you can bear on your own. ”

After speaking, he hugged his fists and said goodbye, then turned around and walked quickly in the direction where Ran Tianluo left. Yuechengcheng stood in place stunned, and suddenly chased out a step, his lips and teeth fluttering.

Looking at Shi Yunyang, who was far away and hidden in the night, Yue Chengcheng slowly hugged his hands in front of his chest, his eyes were immediately full of tears, and he slowly bowed and saluted the empty street.
