Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 125

After the stench incident, the inn's business returned to normal, and everyone spent a period of time in peace.

This morning!

Zhang Chen was lying in the upstairs room, sleeping comfortably, when he heard Bai Zhantang's voice from downstairs to the room:
"Zhang Chen, everyone is waiting for you to get up, and then we will eat together. If you don't come down, we can't move our chopsticks."

After Bai Zhantang said this sentence, he answered another sentence shortly after:
"Zhang Chen, if you don't get up again, the shopkeeper will say that you don't have to get up again in the future, just lie on the bed for the rest of your life."

Zhang Chen, who was lying on the bed, heard the threatening voice from Yizhantang, opened his eyes helplessly, wrapped himself in the quilt and turned over on the bed a few times before speaking:
"I know, I know! I'll get up now, don't rush me anymore"

After a while, Zhang Chen finished packing and got up and went downstairs. At this time, everyone at the long table in the lobby had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Zhang Chen go downstairs, Tong Xiangyu, who was sitting in the main seat, said:
"It's fine to sleep late, don't you know what day it is today?"

"Don't forget that we have to go to the opposite medical center later. Today is the day when the government will send envoys to reward the medical center. We are old acquaintances with Mr. Chen who is opposite, of course we have to support him."

"They are not all old acquaintances in the town like us. Louzhi County has set them up as a model for this disaster relief operation, and it is also to let outsiders see that our town treats outsiders equally."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed to the food on the table and signaled everyone to use their chopsticks to hurry up and eat.

Zhang Chen stared dumbfounded at Tong Xiangyu's series of operations, thinking that the shopkeeper was really in a hurry!

This is because he didn't even have time to say a word, and he arranged everything in a short time. Seeing that everyone was hurrying to eat, Zhang Chen also hurriedly joined the dinner.

After the meal, everyone helped Da Zui clean up the dishes, and then returned to the long table to wait for the opening of the medical clinic opposite.

Taking advantage of this free time, Zhang Chen found that everyone was busy with things, Xiucai and Guo Furong were chatting at the counter, Bai Zhantang leaned over to Tong Xiangyu and pressed his shoulders attentively, only Li Dazui was alone People are busy in the back kitchen and don't know what they are busy with.

On the other hand, Zhang Chen leaned comfortably on his exclusive seat, breathing the fresh air in the morning, and feeling the calm and lively atmosphere of life in the inn.

It's almost noon!

A petite figure ran out of the opposite medical hall and came to the inn. This figure was none other than Chen An'an, the daughter of the medical hall.

As soon as Chen Anan ran to the inn, she shouted loudly:
"Sister Xiangyu, sister Xiangyu, my father asked me to come here to inform you that the envoy is coming, let everyone go there now."

Chen An'an's lively and lovely appearance made Tong Xiangyu smile and said:
"Come on, we're ready"

After that, I stood up and I went to Chen Anan's side and held her hand. The two of them walked towards the medical hall while talking and laughing. The rest of the people watched them leave and followed them to the medical hall.

At this time, the door of the medical hall was open, firecrackers had been hung on both sides, Shen Muchan, his wife and two apprentices were standing in front of the door waiting for someone.

Seeing a group of people from the inn coming to the door of the medical hall, Chen Muchan hurriedly greeted each other, and after saluting with a smile, Chen Muchan clasped his fists and said:
"I have just arrived here, and I can make such a contribution. Chen Muchan once again thanks all the neighbors for their help."

Seeing Chen Muchan's polite look, Tong Xiangyu fanned the round fan and said:

"Mr. Chen, there is nothing wrong with you, you are too polite"

"We will be neighbors in the future. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. These are all as they should be."

Everyone in the inn behind nodded fiercely when they heard the words. Everyone didn't like such a polite look, and there was a feeling that they regarded themselves as outsiders.

Seeing this, Chen Muchan shook his head, and said again:
"It's Meng Lang, the curtain zen..."

Before Chen Muchan could finish speaking, a yamen servant ran to the door in the distance and shouted:

"The envoy of the government office has arrived, the curator Chen is ready to welcome you."

Everyone hurriedly retreated to the side and gave up the home court to Chen Muchan, accompanied by a series of crackling sound of firecrackers.

A sedan chair and accompanying guards appeared in the smog. After the sedan chair stopped and landed at the door, a middle-aged man in official robes walked out of the sedan chair. Chen Muchan and his wife hurriedly led the rest to greet them.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen in front of the door couldn't help sighing and said:

"There are so many people coming to watch the ceremony. Louzhi County is really getting better and better now. We all know that moving trees and building trust will attract migrants to work."

At this time, Chen Muchan was leading the people watching the ceremony to meet the envoy from the government office. Looking at the huge crowd, Zhang Chen sighed like this.

When Li Dazui heard the words, he folded his arms and said confidently:
"Of course! You don't even look at whose uncle it is."

Li Dazui's speech made Bai Zhantang roll his eyes, and then said:
"It's a good sentence, why is it so wrong when it comes out of your mouth?"

Bai Zhantang's teasing words made everyone on the side laugh in low voices.

While the few people in the inn were chatting, the envoy from the Fuya finally came to the main entrance of the medical hall accompanied by everyone, and began to read the rewards from the Fuya to the Tianhe Medical Hall for this disaster relief.

After the reading, the envoy didn't stay too long, and left here with a smile after Chen Muchan stuffed something quietly.

After the envoy of the government office left, the people who watched the excitement gathered in front of the door again, congratulating Chen Muchan.

Seeing that Chen Muchan was exchanging pleasantries with the residents of the town, Zhang Chen approached Tong Xiangyu and said:

"Shopkeeper, we've managed to hold on to this situation. In the current situation, it's hard for Master Chen to take care of us. Why don't we come back later?"

Tong Xiangyuwen heard the words and looked at Chen Muchan who was surrounded in the center, thinking that he was afraid that there would be too few people coming to watch the ceremony because they were foreigners, so he came to the medical hall to support them.

Now that so many people came to watch the ceremony, I didn't worry about not having enough people to watch the ceremony, so I turned around and shouted to Chen An'an who was not far away:
"An'an, your family greets the neighbors first, and then you come to the inn for dinner together, let's celebrate well"

Seeing that Chen An'an nodded and agreed, everyone walked back to the inn slowly. After returning to the lobby, Tong Xiangyu asked Dazui to go to the back kitchen to prepare meals, while the rest were busy packing up the dishes for dinner later.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Muchan's family arrived at the inn. Seeing that the lobby was full of their own people, Zhu Yipin complained as soon as they entered the inn gate:
"What are you talking about? A good reward of silver is gone in the blink of an eye."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Zhu Yipin with curiosity. It was obvious that something had happened. Looking at Zhu Yipin's angry expression, Zhang Chen thought of the package that his master had secretly handed to the emissary before.

Sure enough, before Zhu Yipin could continue, Chen Muchan called "Zhu Yipin" sullenly to stop him from continuing.

Zhu Yipin heard Master's serious shout and had no choice but to stop talking. Seeing that Chen Muchan wanted to reprimand Zhu Yipin again, Zhang Chen said with a smile:
"Master Chen, Zhu Yipin is just too angry, it's normal not to be able to accept this kind of thing for a while"

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Chen Muchan knew that his actions just now had not escaped Zhang Chen's eyes, so he could only put down his mind with a wry smile.

After all, this matter can't be avoided anywhere, Zhu Yipin is still too young, he can only sigh secretly, planning to teach him in the future.

Afterwards, this matter was not mentioned again, and Zhu Yipin regained his mood. With Li Dazui saying that the food was coming, everyone began to turn their attention to the delicious food.

　Thanks for the support!
