Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 83 The Unlucky "Captain Xing"

Zhang Chen said:
"Since the shopkeeper said so, we have to think of a plan to spend a small amount of money to do big things. I happen to have some ideas here, let's take a look."

He stretched out his hand to gather everyone around and began to explain the plan in detail. When everyone heard Zhang Chen's plan, they asked with some doubts, could this work?
Zhang Chen spread his hands and said:

"We can only try it out. We have no money and few staff. If we want to maintain the previous number of customers and profits, we have to find another way."

Everyone had no other choice but to leave one after another according to the plan assigned by Zhang Chen, holding the paper they had just written in their hands and kept flipping through their own parts.

The sun at noon is slowly moving westward. The sun is gradually softening. Zhang Chen looks at the pedestrians on the street and wonders whether his plan can be successful. He observes the stratification of the flow of people in these streets of the inn, and asks people in the shop from time to time. Pedestrians in different clothes, if it weren't for the fact that most of those people were neighbors, they really wouldn't be willing to cooperate with being asked questions.

Two hours later, Zhang Chen was satisfied and left from the street and returned to the inn to call everyone to report on his progress. Guo Furong stood on the bench with one foot and held a pen in his hand and spoke first:

"I have been looking for a few shops with green plants in the afternoon, but I haven't confirmed the type yet, waiting for everyone's confirmation."

Bai Zhantang followed Guo Furong's words and said:
"I found a well-established carpenter, and the new tables, chairs and benches have also been settled, and they are working overtime to make it"

The scholar said confidently:

"I've already prepared the overall plan for the house. I'll modify it later if you give me your opinions."

Everyone looked at Xiucai in surprise when they heard the words. They didn't expect that Xiucai had really completed this task. Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Xiucai snorted arrogantly and said:
"Underestimate people! I'm a child prodigy! I'm not a nerd who is obsessed with reading, it's such a trivial matter! I just flip through some Mohist books and I'm done."

Seeing the narcissistic words of the scholar, everyone couldn't help but vomited and ignored him, and turned to look at the big mouth in the corner. He is the only one who has not spoken now.

Dazui first puffed out his chest confidently, but then retracted when he thought of something, Guo Furong patted Dazui impatiently and said:
"Big mouth, can you please be a man, just say something!"

Zhang Chen understood Li Dazui's concerns about cooking, not that other things can be done quickly, it can only be accumulated slowly, and then he said:
"Brother Big Mouth, don't worry about it. I have a solution here. Let's discuss some new dishes later."

"We still need some professional kitchen utensils to be built, otherwise we can't do it alone!"

Dazui nodded to express his understanding. After they finished speaking, they handed over the expected money budget to Xiucai. Xiucai took a piece of paper and made a rough calculation in his mind and said:

"This price is fine! I'll go find the shopkeeper!"

After finishing speaking, they went upstairs to find Tong Xiangyu and everyone was waiting for the news in the lobby, but Xing Butou and Xiao Liu suddenly walked in from the door.

Seeing that it was the two of them who came to the door and everyone sat on the bench to say hello feebly, Catcher Xing saw that everyone was not in a good mood, so he asked with a smile:
"Everyone is not very interested!"

Everyone heard the words and gave Xing Butou a look so that Xing Butou could feel it for himself. Zhang Chen replied:
"Uncle Xing, aren't you eating across the street! Why come to us when you have time?"

Xing Butou waved his hands and said seriously:
"Don't change the subject! I'm here to take care of your business. Serve me some side dishes and then some tea."

Zhang Chen seemed to understand what he was trying to say:

"Then is it cash or an account today?"

Xing Catcher heard the words and said softly with some lack of confidence:
"Payment?"

At this time, everyone also understood Zhang Chen's intentions and looked at Xing Butou playfully. Xing Butou bowed his head a little guilty when everyone looked at him. Seeing his behavior like this confirmed this point.

Bai Zhantang became interested in this and asked Dazui to make some small dishes for everyone to chat with. After a while, the dishes were all served, and everyone gathered around again to stare at Xing Butou and the two of them. The behavior just now knew that there was gossip.

Seeing that Xing Butou didn't open his mouth to shift his target, Zhang Chen asked Xiao Liu:

"Xiao Liu! Usually you are an honest and reliable representative, and as a police officer of the Six Doors, you can't lie to your superiors."

In order for Xiao Liu to tell the truth, Zhang Chen revealed his identity as a consultant to prevent him from lying, Yan Xiaoliu watched Catcher Xing hesitate to speak, and Bai Zhantang blocked Catcher Xing behind him to signal Xiao Liu not to worry about his master.

Yan Xiaoliu felt relieved when he saw that Catcher Xing was blocked and said in a low voice:
"Today in Louzhi County, the county government office, someone is going to send someone to the government office to deliver official documents. In the past, it was the master who did it. This time, of course, it's no surprise. When I sent someone to find the master, I found him in a restaurant. It's nothing to eat and drink when patrolling the streets, but This time, I touched Lou Zhixian's brow."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhantang said suspiciously:

"What does that have to do with having no money?"

Zhang Chen spread his hands and said:
"It must have been drunk! Standing in front of Louzhi County reeking of alcohol!"

Yan Xiaoliu looked at Zhang Chen in surprise, as if to say how do you know?

Zhang Chen explained that he saw Uncle Xing in the Yihong Restaurant in the morning. He was in a state of intoxication at that time, and he might not be able to hold back and drank a little later, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident in Louzhi County today.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xing Butou, who was blocked by Bai Zhantang, Xing Butou didn't hide his expression when he saw that everyone knew about it, he sat down on the bench and said:

"Louzhi County didn't fine me much, but only fined me half a year's salary, so I don't have enough money to eat!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chen said in surprise:
"Uncle Xing! Even if you punish him for half a year, it won't be like this, right?"

Catcher Xing explained in an embarrassed whisper that he couldn't help but went to the second floor to watch a performance after Zhang Chen left.

Everyone looked at Butou Xing in disbelief, as if he didn't understand what he said before, Butou Xing quickly explained that the second floor belonged to the VIP system, and there was no certain amount of money. He made people excited Impulsively spent a sum of money.

Looking at Xing Chu's headache, he knew that he regretted it.

Seeing the amount of money spent by Xing Tutou gesturing, Bai Zhantang couldn't help laughing and said to Xing Tutou:
"Old Xing, you who usually spend money wishing to split it in half are willing to spend so much money. Tell me how is the second floor?"

Zhang Chen thought that this show didn't appear in the first place, and Sai Diaochan even played the membership system, no wonder it's so expensive!They are targeting the rich businessmen and dignitaries in the county, they all have money, and as for the inn, they may do it easily, but they didn't expect to fall into the inn's hands.

After everyone comforted him, Catcher Xing saw that his mood had returned to normal, so he asked Xiao Liu to take his master home to rest.

After the two of them left the Baizhan Hall, they looked at the time and said:

"The scholar has been there for a while, why hasn't he come out yet?"

Before everyone spoke, there was the sound of the door opening upstairs...
