Longevity: I, Cao, Can See The Prompt

Chapter 12

This Chaoxing restaurant is a pavilion-style shop with three floors high. Behind the shop is a yard for people to rest and live temporarily.

The roof is in the style of hanging mountains on both sides, covered with gray tiles, under the eaves is a huge dougong, and the windows of the store are decorated with vermilion and colorful decorations. This is the welcome door for welcoming customers.

Cao Wei had already crossed the low threshold of the restaurant, the middle-aged man behind him was still smiling and the wrinkles on his face were blooming, he bowed and shouted several times: "Thank you for the reward."

He didn't even turn his head, and he didn't need to look at the prompt on this person to understand that this was just a little bit of cleverness of the market.

This kind of person is the best at observing words and expressions. When seeing a guest dressed in extraordinary clothes, he must not pay attention to a few taels of silver, so he asked so pretentiously.

Otherwise, with the prosperity of this place, you can find a shop at random, and you can find these two taels of silver and exchange them into a lot of copper coins.

When Cao Wei was in the car, relying on his sharp ears and eyesight as a cultivator, and out of habit, he walked all the way down the street to understand the general price of the place.

Among the street vendors, a bowl of turbid wine sold for six renminbi, cooking cakes for three renminbi each, a large pottery bowl of rough tea for one renminbi, and a letter for family writers for ten renminbi. Talking about it, you can get twenty or thirty renminbi for one life, and you can also get a hundred renminbi, which is really easy to earn.

After asking one more question and thanking him, the middle-aged man earned at least 1,800 copper coins from Cao Wei, which was equivalent to the monthly expenses of a family of four or five. No wonder he so excited.

It's just that, for Cao Wei, even if these small coins were dropped on the street, he would not bend down to pick them up.

Now the time has come to Shenshi, it should be diners gathering, but there are not many diners in the restaurant lobby, there are more than a dozen tables in the huge place, only one is occupied.

There are four people at this table, all in their thirties, all wearing short brown clothes made of rough cloth, and their clothes are disheveled.

It was the time of the rise, and these people stomped on the ground, stomped on the stool, punched loudly, and uttered obscenities casually, making a lot of noise.

There is a loser who picks up the wine bowl and drinks it with his head up. The wine flows out from both sides of his mouth, wets his clothes and smells of alcohol all over his body.

The winners applauded and applauded again and again.

When one of them saw Cao Wei coming in, he wobbled over with a wine bowl, and a waiter who greeted people in the building hurried over and stood between the two of them.

It's just that there are still three mistresses in the corner, timidly afraid to go forward.

"Brother Zhao, don't disturb the nobleman." Xiaoer said.

"What are you, dare to stand in the way of the uncle."

Unexpectedly, the rogue man swayed, stepped forward, kicked him, and slapped him hard, the wine bowl also fell to the ground with a clatter, shattered into eight petals, and the wine splashed onto Cao Wei's shoe. .

He saw that although this person was drunk, but his eyes were still 70% clear, he knew that he was just pretending to be drunk and acting crazy.

The old shopkeeper on the cabinet saw the dispute, and trotted over in three steps and two steps.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, guest officer, there is something wrong with the store right now, look at this..." The old shopkeeper gave a distressed look.

"It's okay, find a clean table, have a jug of good wine, and cut up two plates of meat." Cao Wei said slowly.

"The private room on the second floor, please, it's clean there." The old shopkeeper had no choice but to agree.

However, one of the other three people at the wine table stood up immediately, picked up the wine cup on the table, walked to the stairs, and lay down on the stairs, blocking the way up.

Seeing these people like this, the old shopkeeper couldn't hold back his anger, and immediately rushed to his face with Blood Qi.

He shouted loudly:

"Sun Ergou, get out of the way! If you continue to make trouble so unreasonably, I will find the yamen servant and throw you all into the prison."

"Hey, you old monkey can go as much as you like, we brothers are waiting here, let's see if those officials will talk to you?" The second brother Sun threw the wine cup in his hand towards the wall and said with a presumptuous smile .

As soon as this remark came out, the other three laughed even more.

If it were an ordinary diner, seeing such a messy scene, they would have frowned slightly, exited the door, and looked for other places.

Those sons and daughters of officials from aristocratic families, even if they have learned some martial arts, they usually will not be strong in this kind of thing.

It is said that the son of a thousand gold does not sit in court, if these lowly people offend them.

After retreating, they only need to give an order, and naturally there will be a policeman in soap or a nurse in black to take care of it, so why do they have to do it themselves?

However, Cao Wei came here specifically to find Lin Chaozong's family members for the follow-up of the mysterious practice, so naturally he would not leave.

Seeing this, he walked casually to an empty table in the lobby and sat down, and said slowly to the old shopkeeper, "Bring the food and wine."

Those hooligans saw that Cao Wei was dressed in brocade, and he didn't know where he was from, so they didn't dare to really provoke him.

There are many officials in Lingshui County, and there are many aristocratic families. If you throw a brick at random, you will be a person with status. These wandering rogues are best at bullying honest people, but they dare not disrespect those noble people.

A few people sat around again, chatting and laughing louder, every now and then one of the dishes would be thrown on the ground, causing a mess everywhere.

During the period, that rogue called Zhao San went out, but he disappeared. I don't know where he went?

After the cup of tea, the wine and dishes were served on the table.

Cao Wei poured himself a drink, took a piece of mutton with his chopsticks, and dipped it in the sauce.

Just three cups of this wine was drunk, when Zhao San who had left earlier ran back, reached out and grabbed a handful of meat on the table, and took another big gulp of the dirty wine.

At this time, Sun Ergou suddenly slammed down the table, yelled and scolded, and wrestled with Zhao San.

The two overturned the table and threw the chairs, pushed and shouted to the counter, grabbed the wine jugs piled up beside the counter and smashed them indiscriminately.

The old shopkeeper hurriedly recruited the four waiters, and said to one of them: "Hurry up and call the proprietress."

Then he pushed the other three people up and asked them to pull Sun Ergou and Zhao San apart, so as not to smash things, the two sides immediately became a mess.

At this time, two policemen in soap clothes walked in very precisely, and they greeted him without saying a word.

However, most of the sticks fell on the three juniors, and even the old shopkeeper next to him was also hit.

Soon, several people were separated.

The two police officers tore off the hemp rope soaked in tung oil around their waists, and without asking any further questions, they tied up the hands of the six people including the old shopkeeper, strung them into a string, and pulled them together. Take out.

At this time, only a laughter came from the backyard:

"You two officials, please be merciful. If you take the shopkeeper and Xiao Er away, my Chaoxing Building will be closed. When you two come, go upstairs and have a glass of water and wine first. "

Immediately afterwards, a woman in a straight collar and double-breasted sash opened the door curtain, walked out quickly, and walked up to the two of them.

This person has a pair of red phoenix eyes, two curved eyebrows like thin willows, and a slender figure. Even though he is about thirty years old, he still has a charming charm and a coquettish physique, which is more like those girls who have not left the boudoir.
