Chapter 136: Blackmail
By the time the shopkeeper brought the spicy chicken offal and five large bowls of rice ordered by Zhang Xiaohua on a tray, Zhang Xiaohua had already drunk three pots of tea, and her stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
But when Zhang Xiaohua saw the plate full of chili peppers and red chicken offal brought up, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and asked blankly, "Xiao Er, is this the dish I ordered?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Guest officer, that's right, this is my store's famous special dish spicy chicken offal, spicy in the spicy, spicy in the spicy, the taste is very delicious, it is a must-order dish for people who like chili peppers." ”
Zhang Xiaohua had a bitter face, too, the dish cards were clearly written spicy and spicy, why didn't he ask more?
Alas, it's just blindly greedy.
Maybe this dish is really delicious and delicious, but I never eat spicy food.
Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to bite the bullet, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and carefully added a piece of chicken offal and put it in her mouth, and immediately a kind of spicy spread from her mouth to her head, and then to her eyes, almost so spicy that tears flowed out, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of rice, which calmed down a little, and then Zhang Xiaohua took a big sip of tea, and then she had the courage to eat the next bite.
Although this spicy chicken offal is extremely spicy, it is also a good dish for rice, in Zhang Xiaohua's desire to stop wasting and being afraid of spicy mouth, when the plate of spicy chicken offal is finished, Zhang Xiaohua has already eaten six bowls of rice, plus two pots of tea.
Waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to take the chopsticks, pull the red pepper on the plate, and no longer find a piece of chicken offal, then put down the chopsticks with confidence, although Zhang Xiaohua wanted to eat the pepper on the plate, but think about his mouth, or give up this idea, touch his bulging belly, eat really full.
Since he finished eating, he naturally had to settle the bill, Zhang Xiaohua raised his hand to beckon the shopkeeper, in fact, when Zhang Xiaohua was eating, the shopkeeper's eyes didn't leave him much, and when he finished eating, he stared at it even more, Zhang Xiaohua's behavior was really suspicious, and there was a tendency to eat overlord meals, in case he slipped away by him if he was not careful, the money for this meal was to be compensated by the shopkeeper, could he not pay attention?
At this time, seeing that Zhang Xiaohua had nothing else unusual, but asked him to come over to settle the bill, he was a little more careful, lest Zhang Xiaohua would find a "Xiaoqiang" in the spicy chicken offal, making it difficult for him, and when Zhang Xiaohua asked him how much silver he had to pay, the shopkeeper was slightly relieved, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, have you eaten? Chenghui fifty dollars." ”
"Fifty Wen?" Zhang Xiaohua said strangely, "Why are there so many?" I remember that the price on the menu is forty-five Wen. ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The guest officer is right, the chicken offal is indeed forty-five." ”
"Then why do you want fifty wen?" Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Isn't it true that white rice doesn't cost money?"
The shopkeeper said: "But, guest officer, that pot of tea costs five cents." ”
"What?" Zhang Xiaohua almost jumped up and said, "There is still money in this water?" why didn't you tell me?"
The shopkeeper looked aggrieved, and said: "You didn't ask me, guest officer, this drink has to be charged, and the government also acquiesces, don't you know?
Zhang Xiaohua was speechless, this was very careful, but it was still set aside by the restaurant, fortunately, the tea is charged per person, not by the pot, otherwise he drank five pots of tea, wouldn't he be wronged?
So, Zhang Xiaohua stopped talking, touched in her arms, took out the money bag, and then reached in, groping for a long time before taking out a small piece of broken silver and handing it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was dizzy for a while, I thought that this little flower was a master who was ready to eat white food, and he made preparations with both hands, but he didn't expect people to pay the bill, you said that you will pay the bill, only fifty wen, you just give copper money, but give a piece of silver, it looks like it has to be three or five dollars, aren't you playing tricks on me?
The shopkeeper resisted the impulse, lowered his eyebrows and asked, "This guest officer, for only fifty yuan, don't you have any copper coins?" Or even a smaller piece of broken silver." ”
Zhang Xiaohua said seriously: "There are no copper coins, and the silver in the bag is also the smallest." ”
The shopkeeper fainted completely, what kind of people are these, look at the money bag, there is at least a lot of silver in it, such a rich master, why is he so stingy? Just eat a special spicy chicken offal, and add six bowls of white rice, by the way, there is tea added four times, and I mumble for half a day for the tea of five cents.
Not to mention that the shopkeeper had a bitter face, and took the broken silver to the counter to pay the account, Zhang Xiaohua's behavior attracted the attention of a lewd uncle next to him, who was already a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine, drinking slowly and leisurely, the thief's eyes glanced around, Zhang Xiaohua's food, and the dress did not enter his eyes, but when Zhang Xiaohua took out the money bag from his arms, took out a piece of loose silver, and said that this was the smallest one in the money bag, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
After a while, the shopkeeper returned, holding a tray with a string of copper coins on it, and the shopkeeper put the copper coins on Zhang Xiaohua's table, handed over a smaller piece of broken silver, and said with a smile: "This guest officer, this is looking for your four coins of silver and scattered copper coins, please keep it." ”
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the copper coin in front of her and said with a smile: "Is the amount of this copper coin enough?
The shopkeeper looked righteous and said: "Guest officer, you can doubt my personality, but you can't doubt our reputation for food. ”
Zhang Xiaohua said: "In this way, then I will believe you." By the way, Xiao Er, I want to ask you, do you know where Pingyang City is?"
"Pingyang City?" The little second scratched his head a little and said: "This guest officer, the little one has only heard of it, Pingrong City, Yiyang City, and Yucheng, but this Pingyang City has never heard of it." ”
Is this a little flower?
Pingyang City is the largest town he has ever seen, this well-informed shopkeeper has never heard of it, how far should this place be from Pingyang City, where did he drift to?
Zhang Xiaohua immediately stood up and asked a little excitedly: "Then, may I ask, is there a galloping carriage and horse shop here?"
"Galloping carriages and horses?" The shopkeeper still scratched his head and said with a smile: "There are carriages and horses, but they are called galloping, if the guest officer is looking for it, turn left when he goes out, and go straight." ”
Zhang Xiaohua listened, quickly cleaned up the silver on the table, sent the broken silver into the money bag, took the string of copper coins, and was about to put them in his arms, as if he thought of something again, took one from above, hesitated, took another one, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said: "This is a reward for you, xiexie your hospitality." ”
The shopkeeper saw the two big coins in the small hand, but he couldn't cry or laugh, I don't know whether to collect or not, this food is the diners in the Tian Restaurant, most of them are worth something, each reward is not five copper coins or ten copper coins, where have I seen these two?
But when I turned my head and thought about it, the behavior of people eating just now, these two pieces are also the limit, so the shopkeeper took it with a smile and smiled happily: "Thank you for the reward!"
This time, I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
However, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly got up, turned her head and said, "That guy, next time if you collect money for tea, remember to remind me in advance." ”
"Bang dang", the shopkeeper fainted at the door of the restaurant.
Zhang Xiaohua left the food for the sky and ran quickly to the left, as if she didn't notice what was going on behind her, and didn't see that the shopkeeper was very injured. Moreover, he didn't know at all that when he was still talking to the shopkeeper, the obscene uncle in the corner had already solved the account, and when he heard the shopkeeper mention the carriage and horse shop, he left the restaurant in advance.
Zhang Xiaohua walked out of the restaurant, turned to the left, looked up, but at the end of the street was a courtyard, faintly in front of a flag, presumably it was the car and horse shop that the second shopkeeper said, visually, there was still a short distance, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but speed up her pace.
In this small township where she is not familiar with her life, Zhang Xiaohua thought that the only way home was the carriage and horse shop, jokes, even the well-informed shopkeeper didn't know where Pingyang City was, it must be extremely far, if the foot measured to go home, then when?
The first time he went out in his life was to take a carriage, and this time he naturally quickly thought of the carriage, and he had to say that the ancients were good, and he traveled thousands of miles by reading thousands of books.
Zhang Xiaohua walked for a while, saw an intersection, and could get to the door of the speeding carriage and horse shop, the words on the flag, Zhang Xiaohua also saw it clearly, it was really "galloping carriage and horses, the mission must be achieved".
But when Zhang Xiaohua crossed the intersection, a middle-aged man rushed over from the side, Xu is snow road slippery, and suddenly hit Zhang Xiaohua's body, when the body touched, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt a hand into his arms, and was about to go to his own money bag, Zhang Xiaohua felt how sensitive at this time, and his skills were also vigorous, so he immediately stopped, on the side of his body, his left hand probed, that is, he grabbed the man's hand, and said, "What are you going to do?"
When the middle-aged man saw that he was caught by Zhang Xiaohua, he was not busy, his feet deliberately slipped, and he fell to the ground in front of Zhang Xiaohua, and then shouted: "Oh, you kid, why did you accidentally knock me down? Ouch, I'm injured." ”
After saying that, he lay down on the ground and began to hum and chirp.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua was holding the man's wrist in his hand, but the man was lying in front of his eyes, so that Zhang Xiaohua didn't know what to do.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard a lot of voices, and when he looked sideways, six or seven teenagers who were a little older than Zhang Xiaohua walked from an intersection, and they came over with a hippie smile, and said as they walked: "Where is this poor boy, who dares to collide with our Brother Fan?"
Seeing such a scene, how could Zhang Xiaohua, who had already passed through Pingyang City stealing money bags, not know what was going on?
However, time has passed, this Zhang Xiaohua is no longer the other Zhang Xiaohua, not to mention that Zhang Xiaohua has used his own small sword to successfully attack and kill a black-clothed master, but he is very proficient in the Beidou God Fist, and he is not afraid of these young people who are older than him.
So, he let go of the middle-aged man's wrist, clasped his hands around his chest, and looked at the few people from afar with a smile, full of confidence.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua is no longer the timid and mindless country boy she used to be.
The middle-aged Brother Fan, when he saw a group of young people coming up, smiled secretly in his heart, and saw Zhang Xiaohua let go of his wrist, and he didn't get up, just sat cross-legged on the ground.
And some of the people around them avoided as if they had seen a vicious dog, some of them were a little bolder, standing far away, looking at Zhang Xiaohua with pity, the cowardly ones had already run away, lest these ruffians and hooligans see themselves.
When the group of young people came to the front and surrounded Zhang Xiaohua, the obscene middle-aged man said: "This little brother, you accidentally knocked me down, you see that I am injured and can't get up, what do you think should I do?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked around at the young people around her, and said to Brother Fan with a smile: "This big brother, I walked normally, even if it was a little fast, but you hit me from the side, if you want to say that I was injured, it should be me." ”
Brother Fan said sharply: "You are reasonable, look at the present, are you sitting on the ground, or am I sitting on the ground?"
Zhang Xiaohua said: "There is so much snow on the ground, I don't have the heart to sit down, who knows how you have this quirk, you like to sit in such a dirty place?"
Brother Fan smiled: "The little brother is a little sharp-toothed, but it's a pity that the eyes of the people around here are bright, they all look at their eyes, and you can't rely on it." ”
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Alas, in this way, you say that you are reasonable, and I say that I am reasonable, so let's go to the yamen." ”
Hearing this, Brother Fan sat up and said with a smile: "Little brother, in this way, you must not be on the Tao?"
Zhang Xiaohua asked, "What about going to the road? What if you don't go to the road?"
The obscene Brother Fan said sharply: "Hehe, that's right, little brother, what about the way, just obediently take out the money bag in your arms, we won't kill them all, leave you a travel fee, let's talk about it." Hehe, look at the people around you, these are all righteous and courageous people, representing the voice of the masses. ”
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Hehe, I finally know how the voices of the masses are represented, these are the kind people, if they are kind, how can they mess with you?"
Brother Fan smiled: "Because I am also a member of the good crowd." ”
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Then I don't think your behavior looks like it?"
When Brother Fan heard this, he shouted impatiently: "Look at this little brother, it's not like the Tao!"
Zhang Xiaohua was even more happy, and said: "I'm not a Taoist person, why do you have to catch up with the Taoist in a hurry?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua laughing at herself like this, and did not look like any compromise, Brother Fan was a little annoyed, waved his hand at the few people behind him, and shouted: "Forget it, teach this kid a lesson, let him know how powerful the uncle is." ”
When the few people in the back heard this, they immediately walked out of the three of them, raising their fists in a demonstrative manner, waving around, showing off their thick muscles, but unfortunately Zhang Xiaohua didn't care, just smiled.
When the three of them saw that they were talking to each other, they glanced at each other, raised their fists, and ran to Zhang Xiaohua.
The three of them have obviously practiced boxing and kicking for a few days, and they have quite a palm technique between actions, but as soon as a few people arrived, they were deceived by Zhang Xiaohua, approached, and casually used a move in the Beidou God Fist to block the current man's fist, and then changed his move, swept his leg to the person's virtual lower plate, and listened to the sound of "pop", the man fell to the ground, at this time, another person also arrived, Zhang Xiaohua did not dodge, raised his fist to face the person, it was also a muffled sound, the two fists hit each other, Zhang Xiaohua did not move, that person"Ouch", clenched his fists, took a few steps back, and opened his mouth in pain. The rest of the person was close, but seeing what happened to the other two, he was already timid, he collected his steps, and was ready to retreat, how could that Zhang Xiaohua follow, an arrow step, flew up with a foot, and kicked at the man's waist, and the person also fell to the ground with an "ouch", but Zhang Xiaohua was strange, his foot was not very strong.
Seeing that the three of his subordinates were all defeated, Brother Fan was a little difficult to ride a tiger, if he fled without a fight, he might be difficult to convince the people in the future, but if he continued to fight, the remaining four people plus himself may not be this person's opponent, this, what can I do?
Brother Fan thought for a while, took out something from his waist, and made a gesture to the other four, and the four of them all made the same action, and at this time, Zhang Xiaohua saw clearly, and each of them took out a dagger in their hands.
Looking at the dagger shining with cold light, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel a little flustered, empty-handed to empty-handed, he was not timid, but when it came to weapons, he really had no experience.
However, there is a first time in doing anything, and this may be a test of yourself. Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua unconsciously stretched out his left hand to touch the small sword in his arms, but then, he let go again, the power of this small sword is too great, he is not easy to control, if he doesn't make a move, he will see blood, if there is a death on the street, it is quite troublesome, it is better not to use it.
Brother Fan saw that Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were a little flustered, and he couldn't help but be proud, rushed up with a cruel smile, and stabbed Zhang Xiaohua's waist with a dagger, while the other four people, seeing the eldest brother in the lead, also swarmed over, each brandishing a dagger.
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but panic when she saw several shiny daggers stabbing at different parts of herself, and tried her best to move her body, casting the defensive boxing technique in the Beidou God Fist, dodging left and right, after dodging a few moves, one was careless, and her arm was cut by a dagger, and a touch of blood instantly stained her sleeves.
Zhang Xiaohua, who was injured, suddenly calmed down, knowing that only blindly defending could not have much effect.
Zhang Xiaohua adjusted her pace slightly, saw a gap between several daggers, stepped forward with an arrow, raised her leg is a kick, hit a person's wrist, and heard an "ouch", and the dagger flew into the air.
