Chapter 453: Wait until late at night
People who open teahouses know that there are only three kinds of people who come to teahouses to drink tea. One is www.biquge.info person who lives a carefree and leisurely life, the other is a businessman, who can negotiate a business in an elegant and warm tea room, so that both parties feel confident and confident, and the third type is a person who is bored and has nowhere to have a place to spend time.
The shopkeeper of this teahouse is surnamed Li, and people call him Shopkeeper Li. He has been running a tea house for many years and is an expert in this business. But all the guests who come and go in their teahouse, regardless of men, women, old and young, he can see the mood of the other party at a glance. For example, when they walk in the door, they must be absent-minded, thinking about how to achieve their own interests and goals with the business opponent they are about to meet.
And those who have no worries about food and clothing, when he walks in, he either shakes a fan or holds a birdcage. Even in the cold winter months, their faces can make people feel full of spring and arrogant like a cow. For a person like this, a flattering word from the shopkeeper of the teahouse can add to his good mood to an indescribable degree.
For the third type of person when he walks into the teahouse, Shopkeeper Li has a very good lesson, and for such a visitor, you don't care if he is preoccupied or sentimental, ignore him, just treat him as air. In this way, there will definitely be less trouble, and if you greet such a visitor warmly, some people who are not very good at talking can sometimes choke you half to death with a word!
As for the two of them, Xiao Tianlong Zhang Haisheng and Nangong Yu, when the two of them walked into the teahouse, Shopkeeper Li also saw their intentions at a glance. At that time, he stood in the back of the cabinet, watching the customers come in and out of his counter. At this moment, he saw Zhang Haisheng, a round-faced and short-bearded Xiaotian Dragon, wearing a brown silk robe, leading majestically, and Nangong Yu with a face like a peach blossom walking into the door.
At that time, the shopkeeper Li weighed in his heart: this girl was only twenty-four or five years old, with fine skin and tender meat, a pair of goose egg faces embedded in it, and wise and deep eyes; although her figure was slightly plump, it made her gentle and amorous feminine charm more distinct and prominent.
They drank tea quietly in the café by the window on the second floor, and from time to time they would say a word or two of inconsequential remarks, and they were most concerned not with the bustle of the café, but with their heads turned sideways, to see with their eyes whether there was anyone they were waiting for in the street below the window.
Sure enough, in the morning, another young swordsman on horseback and wearing a purple robe came. He was dignified, his complexion was dark red, and when he walked past the counter, the shopkeeper of the teahouse felt a breeze blowing in his face, and he also smelled a faint smell of jasmine incense on the man's body.
When the guest stepped up the stairs, the shopkeeper of the teahouse Li muttered to himself: "This is the person they are waiting for!"
"Shopkeeper, why do you say that?" beside Shopkeeper Li, a guest who had just sent tea to Xiaotianlong Zhang Haisheng and Nangong Yu above, couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Because, the expressions and temperaments of these three people are different, they are neither businessmen, nor thoughtful idlers," said the shopkeeper Li, "they are the people of the rivers and lakes who have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and they must have something very important waiting here!"
Hearing him say this, the teahouse entertainer did not deny it, nor did he believe it all, he looked at this matter with suspicion.
Until the evening, all the guests who came went, except for the two guests at the café near the window on the second floor, who still did not leave. However, the man who came from behind with a sword on his back disappeared - we know that at that time, Nan Jian flew down from the window with a sharp sword, pierced the double lock with one sword, and saved Liu Zhanping, the executioner of the Huanglong Dart Bureau.
However, this made the teahouse receptionist feel very puzzled, after all, he had been at the counter all afternoon and had never left. If the young man with the sword on his back had left the teahouse and passed in front of them, he would have found it.
At this time, the shopkeeper of the teahouse Li watched him walk down the stairs with a smile, "What's the matter, Xiao Dongzi, what are you thinking?"
The second brother of the teahouse had to tell the shopkeeper the doubts in his heart.
"Is it strange to say, shopkeeper," he said, "and in the morning I saw that not long after the two guests came to the tea house above there was a young man dressed in purple and carrying a long sword, and now the swordsman who came behind was gone, and there was only the one who came in the morning, the man with a round face and a short beard, and the girl in the pink dress.
Shopkeeper Li laughed when he heard this, "Idlers don't ask about the rivers and lakes, it has nothing to do with nature or not!"
The entertainer is young and knows little, and he can't understand the meaning of the shopkeeper's words at all, "Shopkeeper Li," he said, "just tell me the truth, what do you mean by this!"
Shopkeeper Li laughed, "The meaning is very simple," he said, "the affairs of the world, anyone's affairs can be inquired about and can be inquired about; except for the affairs of the rivers and lakes, it is best not to ask, because the rights and wrongs, grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes are very complicated and very troublesome." If you ask too much, or if you know about them, then you will never be at peace!"
Shopkeeper Li said so much, but Xiao Dongzi still didn't seem to understand, but he didn't want to ask again, after all, in any case, if he asked too much in front of others, he would appear very ignorant. At Xiao Dongzi's age, it is the time when vanity is in its prime, and he knows very well how to maintain his dignity and face in front of others.
However, late at night, it was time for the teahouse to close, and the two guests upstairs by the window had no intention of leaving. In this way, it is very difficult for the teahouse to entertain Xiao Dongzi. After all, this is his job, and when the time comes, he should remind the guests in time: "It's not too early, our teahouse is closing!"
Probably at the turn of Xuhai, the teahouse entertained Xiao Dongzi, twisted a pot of boiling water, and diligently walked to the teahouse where Long Xiaotian, Zhang Haisheng and Nangong Yu had been sitting for a day. He first poured boiling water into their teapots to show that their service attitude was always very attentive. Then, Xiao Dongzi looked at the two of them and laughed and said, "Two guest officers, we ......"
Before he finished his words, Zhang Haisheng, the round-faced and short-bearded Long Xiaotian, had already taken out a silver coin of five taels from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him, "Little second brother," he said, "You go and tell you shopkeeper that we are waiting for a very important friend here." This friend of ours is probably coming soon, and if we leave now, it will make him uneasy. So, I beg your pardon, we're going to have to wait here!"
Seeing that he had said this, and the money had been sent to his hand, at this time, if he wanted to say no more, it seemed that he was very impersonal.
"Oh, so that's so," said the little waiter at the teahouse, "the little one will go and discuss with our shopkeeper now, and see what he thinks!" he said, nodding to the two guests again, and turned to exit the teahouse, and walked downstairs from the staircase.
Seeing him walking down with an embarrassed face, the shopkeeper of the teahouse smiled. The little second brother didn't know what he meant, "Shopkeeper Li, why are you smiling at me?" he walked to the counter and couldn't help but ask.
The dim light shone on the fat and bloated face of the shopkeeper Li, reflecting the greasy white light, "Are they still unwilling to leave?"
The little second brother was taken aback, and with very admiring eyes, he stared at the shopkeeper Li and asked, "Hey, shopkeeper Li, how do you know!" he said and opened the five taels of silver in his hand to the innkeeper to look at, "They said they would have to wait a little longer, because one of their friends had not yet arrived, and they gave me five taels of silver as the cost of delay and stay!"
Shopkeeper Li laughed and said: "Then what else to say, as long as they are willing to give money, even if they want to sit until dawn, I am very supportive!" As he spoke, he grabbed the five taels of silver in the hands of the little second brother into his own hands.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves outside the door sounded, and I saw two people, a man and a woman, riding a maroon high-headed horse, came to the door of the teahouse and dismounted.
