If the Water Margin

Chapter 150 Eating free food

No, people like Wu Song are not so easy to get in trouble. After all, even a living corpse can't kill him. What kind of trouble can such a person encounter? What else could hurt him? This idea is so naive that I can't immerse myself in this false happiness. Ximen Qing constantly warned himself.

Fortunately, the sale of the pharmacy is in continuous progress, and it is estimated that it will be known at the end of the month. Wu Song is also very good at judging whether something has happened or not. It is said that Wu Song is going to the surrounding villages to recruit soldiers in the past few days. It is reasonable to set out now. However, after all, such a big thing has happened in Mochou Hall, and it is understandable to delay for a few days. However, if Wu Song has not taken any action before the end of the month, it should be true. After all, the conscription can't be delayed.

Ximenqing wandered back and forth in the inner hall and kept slipping until almost noon. He couldn't stay. After another circle, he decided to go out to have a look. After all, there are not many people in the government now. Even if Wu Song was sure that he was indirectly responsible for killing his brother, in case of something, It is unlikely to arrange people in front of the door of the Ximen pharmacy. What's more, when I walk out of the pharmacy, I will see if there are any faces at the door. In this way, I will stay in the inner hall. Even if Wu Song doesn't come to catch me, the guys will be suspicious. If I ask these guys to tie me up and send them to Wu Song, it's better to let Wu Song directly caught me.

Ximenqing thought of this and slowly slipped to the front hall. There were not many clerks in the front hall. Most of them went out to talk about the sale of medicinal materials with regular customers, which was also explained by Ximen Qing. Ximenqing glanced around and found that Wang An was not here. He should have gone out to do the same thing. Only one or two guys in the front hall were still sorting out things. When he was not ready to sell the pharmacy, Ximen Qing never found that there were so many things to sort out in the pharmacy. Only now did he understand the old saying that a poor family is worth a lot, which is probably the truth.

Standing at the door, Ximenqing looked out of the door. At noon, the street seemed to be sunny, and there were more pedestrians passing by. Those who had stopped on the street for a long time looked familiar faces. After staring at a cup of tea, Ximen Qing made sure that he was not being monitored.

When standing on the West Street, Ximenqing felt that he was so stupid in the past two days that he dared not move like a mouse for possible dangers. He didn't know and didn't come out to enjoy the sunshine. It's really a pity. Now that you come to the street, you have to consider a question, that is, where to go?

For Ximenqing, this problem does not need to be considered on weekdays. If there is really nothing to do, there are two choices, either go to Rouge Lane or hang out on the street. Of course, it's winter now, and it's not interesting to wander around the streets. After a while, the cold wind will make me feel cold. You can't go to Rouge Lane. If you can't keep Rouge Lane, some people remember that they visited Mochou Hall on the 15th. After the accident in Mochou Hall, no matter how few people are, Wu Song will be in Rouge. The questioning of witnesses in Zhixiang will definitely ask who saw who went to Rouge Lane that day. I'm going now, which is undoubtedly to evoke memories for those people. Moreover, at this time, there is no intention to play with women. When I become famous on the battlefield and return to my hometown, I guess women will line up to jump on me. At that time, I should also get true love.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of idle places in Yanggu County. There is a teahouse not far from Ximenqing's shop on West Street. The teahouse was originally not good, but now the teahouse opened by Wang Po on Zishi Street is temporarily closed because of the murder, and the teahouse business on West Street is also Much better.

However, the price of this teahouse is much higher than that of Wang Po's teahouse, so those Liba usually don't come, and most of them come here to drink tea. Ximenqing usually doesn't like to come here, because these are all self-righteous people. The most important thing is that these self-righteous people never pay attention to Ximenqing. Although they have also asked Ximenqing in private, they have also asked about their experience in finding girls. Which girl in Rouge Lane is beautiful and good, no On public, they all regarded Ximen Qing as a flood beast and could not avoid it.

At the beginning, when they asked in private, Ximen Qing thought it was a sign of his goodwill, so he knew everything. Later, he found that these questioners would soon be rigid after knowing the answer they wanted, and drew a line with their own prodigal son. After several times, when Ximen Qing met another interview, he did not answer seriously. Sometimes he would recommend the girl's most ugly brothel to the interrogators, so that they would secretly suffer losses.

Today, Ximenqing, who has no place to go, walked into Xijiang Tea House, a teahouse that he had been reluctant to come to.

Sure enough, after Ximenqing entered the door, he didn't get the welcome he deserved, and even the second child of the store did not come up to say hello. Of course, this is also because Xijiang Tea House is full today. It is said that this will not happen in such an expensive place. Is there anyone who will help all the guests pay the bill today? In this case, I really made a big deal, and Ximen Qing was secretly happy.

Without Xiao Er to greet him, Ximen Qing didn't think so. He just wanted to find a place to breathe. Anyway, Yanggu is also the place where he is going to leave. There is no need to compete with some small issues. Besides, the other guests in the teahouse seem to be talking about something else and don't notice their arrival, so that it will be better and won't be looked down upon by those hypocrites.

Ximenqing stuck to the wall, found an empty table, and sat quietly here. There are tea bowls and dried fruits on the table. Obviously, no one has moved. It seems that it is really someone's charter today, but there is no sign hanging at the door, which is really strange. But it doesn't matter. I'm not the guest they want to invite. After someone comes, I'll just make up the tea and dried fruit. Ximen Qing thought of this and picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

From morning to now, he has been drinking the bowl of overnight herbal tea. Now that the hot tea is in his stomach, he really feels that every sweat pore on his body is particularly comfortable. He grabbed a peanut to peel it. The fragrance of five-spice peanuts and tea into his stomach makes Ximenqing feel that the tension of these two days has been swept away. Of course, the dried fruit and hot tea also made Ximen Qing's stomach coo. After all, he hasn't eaten much since morning, and it's normal to feel hungry.

While Ximen Qing was thinking about how to get something to eat, Xiao Er came over. Guest, what would you like to eat?"

Ximenqing is actually very unhappy to hear this sentence. He is also the number one person in Yanggu. No matter what he thinks, he has to give himself face. Even in this Xijiang teahouse, even the shopkeeper has to be called a senior official of Ximen. We are all on the West Street every day. Looking up and looking down, it's impolite to call the guest officer directly.

Ximenqing had a heart attack and then looked up. This Xiao Er is a new face. Although Xijiang Tea House does not want to come, it also belongs to West Street. The shopmen on the street are more or less familiar. It seems to be a new move from Xijiang Tea House. If so, it's normal for him not to know me. There is no need to quarrel with a new chick.

"Which private venue is it today? I'm not the guest they want to invite, I'm just passing by and hungry. But don't worry, the tea I drank and the dried fruits I ate will pay for it later. After all, Ximen Qing came from a large family, and he still understands these rules. Although this second child does not respect himself, he can't make the other party too embarrassed. After all, it is really not easy to come out to eat.

"You are right, the shop has indeed been chartered today. However, the person in the private room did not say who he wanted to invite, but that he invited all the people who came in. So you see, there is no listing in front of the shop. These people didn't hear about it until they came in. You don't have to be polite. If you are hungry, the shop also has all kinds of food. You can order it, it doesn't cost money. The little two talked without stopping. It can be seen that he has said this sentence many times today.

Oh? Is there such a thing? Ximen Qing came to be interested. He looked at the people in the Xijiang Tea House. At least, there were 100. If these people catch up with the free meal, they will have to eat. The price of Xijiang Tea House is high. What is the purpose of this game?

"So that's it. Oh, I'd like to ask this guy, what on earth does this private man want to do? Is it your parents who do good deeds on their birthday? Or did you make a wish in the temple? Ximenqing really can't think of any other reason. The only thing that can be sure is that the people in this package must be rich. Now I sell the pharmacy and want to join the army. It's the time when I'm short of money. If I can attract such a rich man, I may be able to sell the pharmacy at a good price.

There must be no such bold person in Yanggu, so this person must be from other places. Since he is from other places, he must find a place to settle down. West Street is a good choice, but this West Street is full of seats and there are no vacant seats. Even the sedan company that had an accident soon changed its owner and still worked as a sedan chair. The location of my Ximen Pharmacy is quite good. It's just for this uncle. I think he is not short of money. The more Ximenqing thought about it, the happier he became, and he was more careful about the matter of the charter.

"Oh, it's difficult for me. The old man didn't say anything, but paid all the money in advance and said he wanted to charter the venue. To be honest, we didn't dare to ask. The old man also has no requirements for everyone who comes to the banquet. He just said that if you have leisure, wait for him here. After lunch, he will come to talk to you. Of course, if you are busy and have enough to eat, you can leave, and you don't have to pay money. We won't stop you. This is all the order of the old man. Similarly, this paragraph is also fluent.

Ximenqing thinks so. Most of the people who come to Xijiang Tea House for dinner have more money and will never covet this little advantage, so he will definitely ask them thoroughly. This Xiao Er said so smoothly is also the reason why he has said it countless times today.

Of course, Ximen Qing didn't want to leave. He was thinking about how to make friends with this heroic rich man, but he didn't expect this old man to come soon. It seemed that God had given him an opportunity. It seems that these people sitting here also want to see this uncle's demeanor, so they didn't leave when they sat in. Otherwise, how could Xijiang Tea House be so full?

"Okay, guest, I've finished introducing the matter. You can order at ease." The man urged that it seemed that he was a little anxious, which Ximenqing could understand. After all, with so many guests must need a lot of manpower to entertain.

"Cut a plate of beef for me, a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns." Ximenqing thought for a moment.

"What else?" Xiao Er asked.

"No, that's all. What's wrong?" Ximen Qing felt that this little two was so talky that he wanted to eat some beef porridge. Is there a problem with this?

"No, no, I just want to tell you again that everything is free in our store today, so you won't add more? Everyone here can order more than you. To tell you the truth, our teahouse flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water. You can order it at will and eat more abundantly. Xiao Er introduced tirelessly, and the anxiety in his tone disappeared like evaporation.

"No, I eat these just right." Ximen Qing's answer was very firm. He is not a greedy person, and the food he usually eats is relatively simple. People who are familiar with Ximenqing will describe him as demanding on the bottom and not demanding on the top. Now it's an eventful time. It's already a pleasure in life to eat a plate of beef and drink a bowl of porridge. Ximen Qing doesn't want to eat anything else.

Ximenqing waved his hand impatiently, and the man closed his mouth as if he wanted to say something else and left.

It's really strange today. It's reasonable that this kind of charter is paid a large amount of money instead of calculating the detailed accounts. If you want to save money, you should be more careful and not allow guests to order. In this way, you can make more money in the case of completing the private venue. How can you force the clerk to ask guests to order? No wonder Xijiang Tea House has been doing business for so many years, but it is still one grade away from Guihua House. It has always been staring at the name of tea house and can't openly call Guihua House the title of the first restaurant in Banyang Valley.

After a while, beef, porridge and steamed buns were served. Ximenqing was indeed hungry. He picked up the beef with chopsticks and chewed it. I have to admit that there is indeed a set of beef made by Xijiang Tea House, which is very tasty and chewy. This greatly promoted Ximenqing's appetite. He ate a large plate of beef and ate a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns.

Looking at the empty dishes in front of him, Ximen Qing patted his stomach with satisfaction and burped with some pride. The guy just came to clean up the dishes and put on the tea and dried fruits again. Unlike before, in addition to the tea and dried fruits, there was also a good look. This set of work was done very carefully. Ximen Qing couldn't help thinking that even in the Mochou Hall, those girls would not be so thoughtful after dinner. But in the final analysis, what does it matter if you go to Mochou Restaurant to satisfy the following? Mochou Hall has now been burned down, so we still don't think about these things. However, I don't know how Qiu Yan is. She can't escape death after such a big fire. Unexpectedly, the farewell I said that day really became a farewell. It's better to say less in the future.

Ximenqing was thinking nonsense while drinking tea. This tea is not the same as what I just drank. The tea I drank before the meal tastes light and elegant, but now the tea tastes fragrant. It happens to be needed for pre-dinner appetizers and after-dinner aftertaste. When has Xijiang Tea House become so thoughtful? It seems that if Wuda doesn't learn from this Xijiang Tea House, Guihualou will soon be ready. Pooh, how can I think of these uncertain people today? What a bad luck.

During Ximenqing's tea drinking, several more people walked into the Xijiang Tea House. When they came in, there was no clerk to greet them, and they only went there after they sat down. Like themselves, each guest had a conversation with the clerk before saying something. I think they were explaining these. However, when the food was served, I found a difference. Most of these guests were listed with cups and plates. It seems that most people did not ask the clerk to persuade them, but automatically ordered a table of delicacies. Although there was no difference in money, sometimes this advantage was really not in vain. Ximenqing also understood the mentality of these people.

After entering a few people like this, Ximen Qing glanced around and found that there was no empty table. It seemed that he would no longer let people in. Just as Ximen Qing was thinking about it, a clerk walked to the lobby and said, "Everyone, be quiet."

After he repeated several times, the crowd stopped talking and calmed down.

" As you can see, the shop is now full. Here I want to tell you that if you don't want to meet the staff of this private venue, you can leave now, and the shop will recruit new guests. Of course, if you still want to eat something, you can finish eating before you leave. It doesn't matter. Just tell us so that we can know how many more guests can be allowed in. There are so many tables and chairs in the shop. There are too many people coming, so it's not easy to entertain. That guy speaks gently, but doesn't look like a rough job.

No one moved at the scene. It seemed that everyone had the same idea as Ximen Qing. Everyone wanted to see the true face of Lushan outside this bold member.

But Ximenqing found a problem. The talking man was not familiar. Looking carefully, it seemed that the guys in the Ximen Tea House today were all new faces. What's going on?
