Chapter 135: Temptation and Speculation
"Ahh Qin Su was so frightened that he screamed in fright, his face was completely bloodless, and he was as white as paper.
Turandot hurriedly hugged Qin Su and glanced at Li Hao fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about, my uncle and I have lived in the store here, how can there be such a thing as you said, that time we used the chopsticks of the inn, look at you frightened Su Su!" ”
Lu Yun smiled helplessly: "Young master, this is really not a black shop. ”
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, you know what." Li Hao rolled his eyes and took the lead towards the inn.
Walking more than a hundred meters forward, he came to the crescent moon spring, Li Hao found that this was a little different from the crescent spring in his previous life, it was smaller than the crescent spring in his previous life, which was strange, whether the spring in the desert could get bigger and bigger, it was really strange.
The crooked crescent moon spring surrounded the Longmen Inn, they bypassed the crescent moon spring, came to the door of the inn, only to see that although the inn was dilapidated, but the construction was extremely exquisite, there was a tower-shaped building in the east of the courtyard, and there was a windmill tower in the west of the courtyard, but this windmill was not too big, and it was also very rough, and Li Hao's wind-powered waterwheel was simply incomparable.
Between the windmill tower and the tower-shaped building on the east side, it is connected with a number of giant trees, forming the gatehouse of the courtyard gate, and there is a dilapidated plaque hanging on the door, four words: Dragon Gate Inn.
This inn seems to be divided into east and west wings, respectively behind the windmill tower and the tower-shaped building, the one in the middle is the main room, the courtyard door is wide open at this moment, you can see a red willow in the courtyard, about a person thick, the branches and leaves cover most of the yard, and I don't know that there are hundreds of years of history.
Looking at the building of the Dragon Gate Inn, Li Hao couldn't help but nod his head and praised: "To be able to build such a standard house in the desert, the owner of this inn is also very good." ”
Li Yuanzhong smiled when he heard this: "The owner of this inn can be praised by you like this, it seems that he is by no means an ordinary person. ”
Li Hao led everyone into the courtyard gate, a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old young man in the courtyard was sweeping the floor, this young man was not tall, similar to Li Hao, suddenly saw a guest coming, hurriedly piled up a smile to greet him, and said in a loud voice: "Distinguished guests are here, distinguished guests are here, distinguished guests are invited." As he spoke, he moved out of the way, nodding and pointing to the door of the middle room.
Li Hao saw that this guy was so earnest, nodded with satisfaction, and just wanted to speak, when he suddenly heard this guy scream: "My mother, this is ...... outside."
Li Hao turned his head and looked back when he heard this, and saw the right guard who was camping not far from the door, obviously so many soldiers and horses scared this shop guy, so he smiled and explained: "This is the person brought by this official, you don't have to care about them, just entertain us." ”
"Yes, yes......" The shopkeeper replied one after another, his eyes full of panic.
Li Hao secretly observed his reaction, and gradually felt relieved, yes, five hundred right guards are stationed outside, what kind of pressure is that, even if this store is dark, he doesn't dare to act rashly, besides, he deliberately claimed to be an official just now, explaining that he is an official, and the black shop dares to move ordinary people, but he doesn't dare to move the people of the government, and he is also a big official who can bring so many soldiers!
Under the guidance of the guy in this shop, the seven of them walked into the middle room of the inn, because there were no windows, the hall was a little dark, Li Hao looked around after he came in, there were only three guests in the hall, these three people sat around a table, dressed a little strangely, half bearded and half man, and his face was full of fierceness, especially the dark-skinned middle-aged man in the middle, and there was a long scar on the left side of his face, extending from the corner of his mouth to above his ears, like a big centipede crawling on his face, extremely hideous, when Qin Su saw this person's appearance, couldn't help but lean towards Li Hao, obviously frightened by this person's appearance.
Although these three people looked vicious, they had a look of panic on their faces at the moment, and the moment Li Hao and them came in, the three of them invariably touched their respective weapons, and they all stared at Li Hao and them.
In addition to these three guests, there are three people in the hall, two are in the counter, and on the left is a slightly chubby middle-aged man, about forty years old, and he should be the shopkeeper according to his clothes.
On the right is a tall and thin middle-aged man, who is bored and dialing the plate, this person is in his thirties, wearing a Confucian shirt, wearing a square scarf, a lock of white bangs hanging out of the square scarf, in stark contrast to the black sideburns, looking at his dress and the posture of playing with the abacus, it seems to be Mr. Bookkeeper.
There is also a bald head, sitting on the railing to buckle the nose, this bald head looks fierce and ugly, leopard head and tiger eyes, nose rolling, big mouth, a face is like mahjong, but it is such a fierce appearance of a strong man, but at the moment he is wearing a short and coarse cloth clothes, clearly dressed as a man, looking a little nondescript.
The shopkeeper saw someone coming in, looked up, and immediately walked out of the counter with a smile, and said continuously: "Distinguished guests have arrived, distinguished guests have arrived, guest officers, have you been sharpened or are you staying in the hotel?" When he spoke, he said to Lu Yun, and he actually regarded Lu Yun as the leader, no way, who made Li Hao look too tender.
"Hey, I'm the master!" Li Hao clapped his hands and tried to attract the attention of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, little boy, I'm really sorry, I'm blind." ”
Li Hao rolled his eyes unhappily: "Son, son, why add a small word." ”
"Yes, yes, Childe, haha......" The shopkeeper didn't expect Li Hao to be quite good at putting on a shelf, so he hurriedly compensated again, and asked, "Childe, do you want to play the tip or live in the hotel?" ”
"Hit the tip first, and then stay in the hotel." Li Hao waved his hand, found a table and sat down at random, and the others also sat down around the table, Gu Lina and Elena sat on one side, Qin Su and Turandot sat on one side, Li Yuanzhong and Lu Yun sat on one side, and only Li Hao sat alone, well, so you can see at a glance that he is the leader.
As soon as Li Hao and the others sat down, the shopkeeper turned around and shouted at the bald head: "Lu Damao, what are you doing there, haven't you seen the distinguished guests, why don't you hurry up and greet the distinguished guests!" ”
"It's coming, it's coming." The bald head hurriedly pulled a blackened rag and turned it upside down, probably because he looked too fierce, Qin Su couldn't help but shrink back when he saw him approaching.
Seeing this, Li Hao hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, and said, "Stop, you are too ugly, you scared my daughter, change a guy to greet us." ”
The bald head awkwardly touched his bald head and retreated.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly shouted loudly to the inner room: "Yu Zhongping! You're hiding and lazy again, so come out to greet your guests! ”
"Coming, coming......" A voice came from the inner room, and then I saw a lean young man running out of the inner room, looking good, and a little handsome, well, finally like an inn, inn, who is going to scare someone who makes such an ugly guy, you should get some handsome guys waitresses, and business will be good.
This guy named Yu Zhongping found Li Hao and them when he came to the hall, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Objective, what do you want to eat?" ”
Li Hao thought for a while and said: "Three catties of wine, three catties of braised beef, a bowl of chicken soup, a roasted whole sheep, and three servings of vegetarian dishes, let's do these first, it's too complicated, I guess you can't make it here." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he asked with a smile, "Guest officer, do you want a fish?" ”
"Shhh ”
"Why not?" The shopkeeper on the side came up with a smile and explained, "There are a lot of fish in this crescent spring behind our store, but ...... The price is a bit high. ”
"It's okay, money isn't an issue." Li Hao waved his hand very forcefully and said, "Don't want chicken soup, replace it with fish soup, the fish should be big, don't serve it to the table if it's less than two catties!" After he finished speaking, he took out his chopsticks and put them on the table, tapped them with his fingers, and then looked at the shopkeeper with a smile.
The shopkeeper was stunned by him for a while, and could only laugh dryly.
"Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll do it for you right away." Yu Zhongping saw that Li Hao ordered the fish soup, his face bloomed with a smile, and he went to report the food happily, and it could be seen from his expression that this fish soup must not be cheap.
The shopkeeper just wanted to turn around and go back to the counter, but Li Hao suddenly stopped him: "The shopkeeper stays." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and asked, "What else do you have to tell you?" ”
"Don't call me a distinguished guest, just call me Gongzi Li." Li Hao asked with a smile, "What is the name of the shopkeeper?" ”
The shopkeeper replied to Li Hao's words with a smile: "The surname of the contemptible person is gold, the gold of gold and silver, the single name is a standing word, and he is the third oldest in the family. ”
"Jin San Fat?" Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly wanted to laugh, but he thought that this was too offensive, so he forced the smile back, and said, "I'll still call you the golden shopkeeper, the golden shopkeeper, your business is good." ”
"Where, where." Jin Li waved his hand again and again, "Li Gongzi, you have also seen it, there are only two tables of people, and business is sluggish." ”
"Since business is sluggish,...... Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then why did you hire three guys, plus the chef is four, oh, you also specially hired an account room, as if you can earn hundreds of dollars a day." ”
"Huh." Jin Li smiled embarrassedly, "This account room and this ugly guy are all relatives, their families are all dead, and they have nowhere to go, so I can't turn them away when they come to me." ”
"Oh, I see." Li Haoruo smiled meaningfully, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and get busy." ”
The shopkeeper turned around and returned to the counter, the short guy finally had the opportunity to talk to the gold shopkeeper alone, and hurriedly ran to the counter to whisper a few words to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper suddenly showed a look of surprise, looking at Li Hao with frightened eyes, and layers of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
At this time, the guy named Yu Zhongping walked out with a small wine jar and a stack of porcelain bowls, and shouted loudly: "Guest officer, the wine you want is here." With that, he went to the table and brought the bowl and wine.
Li Hao personally poured wine for everyone, and said in a low voice while pouring: "See, there is really a problem with this store, such a small store, with four guys, and an account room, are you panicking?" ”
Li Yuanzhong said: "Didn't the shopkeeper say it, it's a relative." ”
"You believe this nonsense." After Li Hao finished pouring the wine, he secretly tasted the wine with a silver needle, and said without a look, "When this golden shopkeeper spoke, his eyes were fluttering, there was imperceptible fine sweat on his forehead, and his hands were inadvertently clutching his clothes, and all kinds of signs showed that he was lying. ”
The silver needle was taken out of the wine, and it did not change color, Lu Yun couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Look, I'll just say that you are worried in vain." ”
