Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 111
Bai Zhantang relieved his emotions, and looked at everyone with a smile, saying that he must have a good drink with everyone in the evening.

Everyone dispersed one after another and greeted the guests.

Everyone has been busy for a long time this afternoon, and it was not until the last guest in the inn left in the evening that everyone began to prepare to pack the tables, chairs, dishes and other items.

And Tong Xiangyu came out of the upstairs with a smile and came to the lobby. Seeing that everyone was still packing up the dishes, he turned around and came to the counter to look at the scholar who settled the accounts.

Seeing Tong Xiangyu coming, the scholar quickly gave her the seat and asked her to check the accounts of today's inn. Tong Xiangyu flipped his hands and saw that the original smiling smile became brighter.

When Tong Xiangyu turned over the account, everyone finished cleaning and was resting at the long table. Seeing the bright smile on Tong Xiangyu's face, Zhang Chen touched the scholar and whispered:
"How much did you earn today? Can you make the shopkeeper laugh like this?"

Seeing that everyone was curious, Xiucai stretched out his hand to look under it, and everyone withdrew their expressions of curiosity when they saw this gesture. No wonder the shopkeeper is so happy, today's day is worth more than half a month in the past.

At this time, Dazui shouted in the back kitchen for everyone to serve the dishes, and everyone hurried into the kitchen to help Dazui serve the dishes.

After a while, the long table was filled with all kinds of dishes, and a strange pot was placed in the center, with thick steam rising from it.

Zhang Chen looked at this dish with bright eyes and said with a smile:

"Brother Big Mouth let you get this out?"

Dazui Hanhan said:
"I told the shopkeeper about this new dish. This time, I want everyone to try it out and see if there is any improvement."

After all, he introduced to everyone:
"This dish is called Teppanyaki Grilled Fish. It is mainly a combination of fish meat and seasoning, which can make everyone's taste buds feel more satisfied."

After Dazui finished speaking, he looked at everyone's surprised expressions before he said with a smile:
"I didn't say that, it was Xiaochen who said it."

Seeing Da Zui's naive expression, Bai Zhantang handed the wine glass to Da Zui and said:
"Big mouth, thank you for believing that brother didn't do anything at the time. At that time, I thought you would report me or just leave."

"Don't say anything, I recognize you brother, let's have a toast!"

Bai Zhantang's words made Xiucai and Zhang Chen stand up at the same time to tease Bai Zhantang.

Bai Zhantang hurriedly raised his glass to apologize to the two and begged for mercy, and then drank three glasses to express his apology.

Everyone toasted in Bai Zhantang's heart-to-heart, and the atmosphere of the dinner reached its climax in Bai Zhantang's toasts one by one. Everyone could clearly see that Bai Zhantang was really happy today.

While everyone was talking and laughing, bursts of crying suddenly came from outside the gate of the inn.

Zhang Chen heard the conversation between the father and daughter clearly with a slight movement of his ears, which made Zhang Chen's heart move, and the follow-up question of the original Yihong Restaurant appeared.

It turned out that the father and daughter outside the inn came to sell chickens at the Yihong Restaurant opposite. They ordered a large number of live chickens in a rural village a few days ago.

It was agreed to come and deliver it every ten days, and pay for the goods after the chickens arrived. The old man agreed to come down when he saw that her shop was standing here and she couldn't run away.

This time the old man brought his daughter to deliver the goods but saw that Yihong Restaurant had closed down, so they couldn't sell these chickens, which made the old farmer anxious.

The sound of the father and daughter quarreling outside the door was getting closer, which also attracted the attention of everyone in the inn.

Everyone stopped their bowls and chopsticks in doubt, and just about to ask what happened, an old man with patched clothes appeared outside the door, and he pulled a little girl with a mournful face.

Seeing that everyone in the room turned and stared at him, the old man was so frightened that he forgot what he just wanted to say, he could only say in a trembling voice:

"Would you like a chicken?"

Seeing that the old man was frightened by his family, Zhang Chen got up quickly, took the father and daughter to the table, poured a cup of tea, and motioned him slowly to say don't worry.

After the old man drank a cup of tea, he slowed down and said slowly:

"Which one is the shopkeeper, I only sell chickens for ten yuan apiece"

As soon as the old man said this, the big mouth drinking next to him asked in disbelief:

"How many?"

The old man thought that Dazui was planning to lower the price, so he quickly whispered again:

"If the price is too high, we can negotiate the price"

Not only were they surprised, but even if they were ignorant, other people knew that they couldn't buy a whole chicken for ten pennies.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the little girl thought her cock was going to be sold, and some crying voices came out.

"Don't you want to sell Xiaohong? I raised it since I was a child, so I don't want to part with it..."

Seeing this, Zhang Chen raised his head and motioned for Xiao Bei to comfort the little girl, Xiao Bei nodded confidently in agreement.

When the old man saw his daughter crying, he was afraid that everyone would be bored, but he was relieved when he saw Zhang Chen and Xiao Bei patiently comforting them, and looked at everyone with begging eyes.

Only then did Tong Xiangyu stand up and said with a smile:
"Um, it's the shopkeeper of this store, uh, what's your name?"

The old man said quickly:

"Don't dare! The old man's surname is Luo, everyone usually calls me Luo old man, and the shopkeeper should call me that too."

After Tong Xiangyu knew his address, she was still a little nervous when she saw him and said:
"Then I'll call you old man Luo, I don't dare to buy your chicken so cheap!"

"Who knows if there's something wrong?"

The little girl who was playing with Zhang Chen and Xiao Bei saw that Tong Xiangyu questioned her chicken, and hurriedly shouted loudly:

"I feed all the chickens in my family, there will be absolutely no problem"

Seeing that his daughter was in a hurry, old man Luo also promised one after another:
"My family's chicken is well known in all towns and villages, otherwise Yihong Restaurant would not ask my family to order chicken"

Everyone's attention was attracted by what he said about Yihong Restaurant. Only then did Old Man Luo explain how Yihong Restaurant found him and ordered a large number of live chickens for him to deliver.

After clarifying the matter, the old man Luo took out the contract with Sai Diaochan from his arms and handed it over, and said:
"You see, this is still the contract at that time! Alas, who knew that it would go out of business after giving away the chicken once."

Seeing the old man Luo sighing, Zhang Chen asked curiously while hugging the little girl:
"Even if you can't sell it for a while, it won't be so cheap, right? You will lose money if you sell it like this."

Tong Xiangyu has confirmed that the contract is true at this time, seeing this is also comforting:

"Xiaochen is right, you might as well go home if you are so troublesome!"

The rest of the people also agreed when they heard the words. The little girl in Zhang Chen's arms saw that her father was silent, and said sensiblely:
"My home is far away. My father and I rushed to the town early in the morning, but we didn't get here until dark."

Only then did everyone understand the embarrassment of the old man Luo. The journey back and forth took nearly two days, and it was too much for people, not to mention the live chickens. .

The scene was silent for a while, because everyone present did not have such a difficult experience, and even the poorest Dazui's family had never been hungry for him.

　Thanks for the support!
