Smoke curled from the roof of the backyard of the Chengnan Inn, and a middle-aged fat man with a shiny face pointed and cursed in the house.

"Give Lao Tzu a little bit of profit, haven't you eaten enough?"

This oily fat man is the steward of the Changlin Inn and the head of the back kitchen. Those who were reprimanded by him called him Steward Ding, and he liked it. And people outside like to call him Ding Fat, because he is really fat. In the back kitchen, there is a large-sized chair made of iron, which is large enough to accommodate two adult men, which is the special seat given to him by the innkeeper.

Ding Fatzi treats his subordinates harshly, and everyone in the inn and even the whole city is known. But whether it is the cook in charge of the kitchen or the small worker who plays the side dishes, he is unwilling to leave the fat man and join his family. There are two reasons for this, one is because the Changling Inn is the largest inn in the county, and the salary paid is higher than that outside. The second is because Ding Fatzi has good craftsmanship and can learn things from him.

Ding Fatzi's craftsmanship is the same as his fatness, and everyone in the county town knows it. Especially the braised pork knuckle in one hand, it is simply fragrant, and you can put down two bowls of white rice when you smell it. Therefore, the business of the inn is endless, and if you encounter a major day, you have to pay in advance to reserve a table. Today, however, the inn is closed, and not a single guest enters or leaves.

There are no guests coming in and out of the inn, but the back kitchen is very busy. This is because the inn has a special group of customers today, that is, dozens of teenagers from Yubei County.

……

A middle-aged man who was a few years older than Ding Fat Man trotted all the way to the back kitchen with a bitter face. When he saw the fat man standing at the door, he instantly smiled again. Ding Fat didn't like the person in front of him, because his small eyes were ugly to laugh at, but this person preferred to squint and smile.

Dante's fat man didn't show it either, because this middle-aged man who loved to squint and smile with small eyes was the shopkeeper of this inn - Lai's shopkeeper. Although the face does not match, the treatment he gives to Ding Fat is the highest in the city. In particular, Ding Fat can eat and drink at will in the inn, which is also the most tempting point for Ding Fatzi.

"Steward Ding, you are adding fire to this dish to catch up, the group of little ancestors outside is not easy to deal with." The small-eyed middle-aged man's eyes narrowed into a line and smiled.

"You deal with it a little longer, and you'll be fine right away. You can't eat meat if it's raw, and if you eat it badly, you can't afford to take this responsibility. Ding Fatzi replied.

The middle-aged man was helpless, and the uncooked dishes could not be served on the table, so he had to shake his head and go back to the front hall.

As soon as he heard the noise of a group of children in the front hall, the middle-aged man with small eyes panicked. He is a first-class good hand in business, and he has no clue about this child, let alone this room full of children.

But he had to go up, and then squinted and walked into the hall.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, the delicious food will come soon." The small-eyed man clapped his hands and said, trying to attract the attention of the young man.

But this squinting skill obviously didn't work for this group of teenagers, and no one in the room paid attention to the middle-aged men. The hall is still in chaos, running and making trouble.

The middle-aged man only felt that he was deflated, thinking that it was several times more difficult to bring children than making money, and he felt a little sorry for his wife for a while.

The middle-aged man wanted to turn around and go out, find a place to live for a while, but his head was just halfway twisted, and he only heard a "bang". He followed the sound and looked over, only to see two teenagers scuffling together. The bowl smashed to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

At this time, the noise in the hall had reached the extreme, as if it was a little stronger, and it was about to blow up this inn.

"Hit him, hit him."

"Stop fighting, don't fight!"

Ding Ding Bang Bang...

The boys are cheering with all their strength, and the girls are persuading with their sharp voices, accompanied by the sound of dishes and chopsticks falling to the ground, like a big play, gongs and drums are noisy.

The two young juniors looked at them sluggishly, and the middle-aged man woke up the juniors who were watching the play.

"Why don't you hurry up and pull it away, are you watching the show?"

The two juniors then stepped forward and hugged the two teenagers apart and placed them on his table.

Looking at this chaotic scene, the middle-aged man looked melancholy, then turned his head and walked out, walking in the direction of the guest room.

……

The middle-aged man came to Captain Lin's door, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked on the door.

"Captain Lin, Captain Lin, excuse me."

Captain Lin was closing his eyes and recuperating at this time because he didn't have a good rest at night. When I heard someone knocking on the door, I chuckled again.

Captain Lin walked to the door, opened the door, and saw the person squinting and smiling. This iconic slit made Captain Lin recognize it as the innkeeper at a glance.

"Shopkeeper Lai? You inside, please. He said that he wanted to welcome people into the house.

"I won't go in, it's almost time for dinner, Lai came over to let me know." The middle-aged man squinted.

"You tell Xiao'er to come over, and I ask you to run it yourself." Captain Lin arrived.

"Don't bother, don't bother, if you want to say bother, there is really something to bother Captain Lin." The middle-aged man rubbed his hands.

"Shopkeeper, you don't hurt to say it." Captain Lin arrived.

"The students of your county stay in our store, and our store is already full of brilliance. But Lai is busy with business on weekdays, and he is an insider who takes care of the children. There are some difficulties today ... The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, thinking in his heart that it would be more appropriate if he expressed it.

"The meaning of the shopkeeper Lai, Lin understood." Before the other party could finish speaking, Captain Lin interrupted the other party.

"It's Lin who didn't think it through, there was a Heavenly Master who controlled them before, and they also went to Anfen. You might as well let Lin try it... Captain Lin was serious, and then couldn't help laughing.

"That's very good, Captain Lin, please."

When the middle-aged man saw the other party smiling happily, he should have understood it, and laughed with him.

Captain Lin and the middle-aged man came to the hall one after another, and at this time, the hall was still full of strong fighting spirit. The two teenagers who had been fighting just now were still provoking each other across the table.

"My dad is the best, he killed the dog next door with a stick last time, and made me dog meat hot pot."

"What's that, my dad doesn't have to pay for drinking on the street."

"My dad often catches other people's chickens and roasts them for me to eat."

"My dad peeked at a woman taking a shower and wasn't discovered."

"My daddy is amazing"

"My daddy is amazing"

Captain Lin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, the two teenagers were arguing about whose father was more powerful. If the two fathers knew about this, their sons would not know how to feel when they were so loud about their "heroic deeds" outside.

……

"What's your daddy's name?" Captain Lin faced a teenager.

"My father's name is Qian Er." The boy's voice was loud.

"And what about your daddy?" Captain Lin turned to another teenager again.

"My father's name is Liu Youcai." The teenager does not lose momentum.

Captain Lin smiled bitterly in his heart, one steals chickens and touches dogs, the other bullies men and women, and he should teach a good lesson when he returns to the county town.

"What you Daddy did was not a good thing, let alone a great thing. The real power is that he can build bridges and pave roads in the township, and he can kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions. Captain Lin said righteously, as if he was giving a lecture to the soldiers.

This passage may be a morale boost in the barracks, but it is obviously not very effective here. After a short period of calm, the previous noise immediately resumed. Captain Lin had no choice but to fold his hands on his hips and shake his head helplessly.

Sure enough, Captain Lin is still too young, and killing the enemy on the battlefield is still too far away for the teenagers, and making contributions is not attractive to them now. Just when Captain Lin and the innkeeper were at a loss, there was movement outside the gate.

……

"Knock knock, knock knock..." There was an urgent knock at the door.

The people in the hall all looked at the door, and the innkeeper and the shopkeeper had questions on their faces.

"Is the sign hanging?" Shopkeeper Lai questioned a junior.

"I hung it myself in the morning." The shopkeeper was a little aggrieved, and his face was urgent, for fear that he would be deducted from his salary if he messed up.

"That's weird." Shopkeeper Lai whispered to himself. "Open the door and see." Then he instructed Xiao Er.

Xiao Er just opened the crack in the door, only to feel a push outside, and the door of the inn was pushed open by the people outside.

A middle-aged man who was well-dressed stood in front of the door with an old man and a young man. The man looked urgent, pushed open the door and looked around the store, as if looking for something.

The shopkeeper saw the man's strange behavior at a glance, so he used his body to block the man's sight, and the hand that was still on the door was about to close.

"Are you illiterate? We do not accept customers today. The shopkeeper's tone was obviously a little displeased, after all, he was almost scolded by the shopkeeper because of him.

"Little second brother, wait." Seeing that the other party was about to close the door, the man hurriedly stepped into the doorrail with one foot and supported the façade with both hands. "We're not here to eat."

"You don't have to come in if you don't eat, so let's go." The shopkeeper looked impatient.

At this time, the shopkeeper Lai in the hall watched the guy entangle with the visitor at the door for a long time, and then came to the door.

The shopkeeper Lai went out to talk to the man, and the man had no reservations, and explained the truth of the matter to the person who came 1510, which solved the misunderstanding.

"The contemptible little surname is Yan, and he came from Yubei County to buy cloth. After entering the city, I heard that the school convoy in the county was attacked by demons last night, and the dog was also in the convoy. The contemptible people were very worried when they heard the news, and they heard that the convoy was staying in your store. So he went straight to see if the dog was okay. I hit the door just now, but it was abrupt, and I asked the shopkeeper Haihan. The middle-aged man was afraid that the person who came would not have the patience to listen, so he said it to himself in one breath, and gasped for breath after speaking.

Shopkeeper Lai listened carefully with his ears sideways, and nodded from time to time, indicating that he was listening carefully.

"Master Yan, don't worry, the seniors in your county are all safe." To find out the truth, Lai's shopkeeper was full of seriousness. "Xiao Er was offended just now, please go into the store and rest, and by the way, you can visit Ling Gongzi."

"No offense, no offense, just the children are fine, I'll take a look at the children and leave." The middle-aged man waved his hand again and again.

"Please."

Although the shopkeeper Lai is a businessman, he is easy to see money. But he is also a Venerable Master, so he naturally has some sympathy. Without saying a word, I invited Master Yan into the house.

……

The middle-aged man recognized Captain Lin in the hall at a glance when he entered the store, raised his hand and was about to salute, but was attracted by the sound in the corner.

"Daddy."

"Hong'er!" The man subconsciously returned. "It's okay! It's okay! Following the voice, the man came to a young man.

The old man standing at the door looked at this scene with a kind face. He nodded from time to time, and then reached out to stroke the head of the young man next to him.

Shopkeeper Lai instructed Xiao Er to invite an old man and a young man to enter the door, and arranged a place.

The three tried their best to shirk it, but it was difficult to rely on the shopkeeper's hospitality, and the three of them had to stay with the host to eat.

During the banquet, the three of them had a table with Captain Lin and chatted about the events of the night.

The middle-aged man only felt thrilled when he heard it, and shouted "Xuantian bless". The old man was silent, just stroked his silver-white beard from time to time, and Captain Lin was full of comfort for the rest of his life.

And only that young man didn't listen to what was going on at the table, and only ate the food in front of him.

Perhaps, it's not because Captain Lin's story isn't exciting enough, it's just that the food here is too delicious.
