Chapter 177 The Way of the World

The tray accidentally overturned, and the side dishes placed on it were turned over in the blink of an eye. go out.

Being impartial, the direction he was leaning towards was Yang Chu who was sitting by the window.

"It's over, it's over!"

The moment the young scholar fell down, his face turned terrified almost instantly.

At this moment, what he thought of was not how he would fall after he fell, but he knew that the dishes would be knocked over, especially on the guests. The next job will definitely be ruined again.

After the rebellion of the Great Chen Dynasty decades ago, the government has been corrupted. Although the Imperial Court has held imperial examinations, it is not as reliant on talents as in the past. Most of them are related to human relationships and scientific fields. fraud.

And even after passing the exam, you must have money and power in your family, donate or buy an official, otherwise there will be almost no way out.

Besides, even if you become a local official, it is hard to say whether it is useful or not. There are not a few County Magistrate county magistrates who have been killed by those high-ranking people in the rivers and lakes over the years.

In today's world, it's almost completely the last word that the fist is big.

He is a scholar and has no power to hold the chicken.

The shopkeeper of this restaurant is considered to have met a few times in the past. He has several points of familiarity. Chance.

Besides, many looked at the young scholar Aiya, many diners who fell, the shopkeeper in front of the counter, and the second shopkeeper who was standing next to him with a towel on his shoulders, everyone's faces were mixed with surprise and ridicule. An expression that was about to rise almost immediately.

Scholar Ning is well known by many people in the audience. He has no ability and has always been easy to bully. Everyone likes watching him make a fool of himself.

However——

Just in the middle of a flash, the young scholar suddenly felt saw a flash, those side dishes and trays that had been thrown out of their hands were quickly taken away by Yang Chu. The trays and various side dishes were all caught one after another, and almost instantly, several side dishes were completely placed on the tray, and there was no mess at all.

At the same time, the young scholar who fell down was supported by Yang Chu's other hand, and his body that was about to fall was pulled and stood up.

In the blink of an eye, the young scholar found that he was standing at the table in such good condition that the dishes he was holding did not spill out of little bits.

"This...this..."

The young scholar looked at the tray in his hand, and then glanced at Yang Chu, who was sitting beside him, smiling at him, a little speechless for a while.

If it weren't for this moment, he clearly remembered that he had obviously fallen, and at this moment he almost thought it might be an illusion.

The crowd of diners and shopkeepers in the store all looked at Yang Chu, who had been sitting by the window, and many people had a surprised look in their eyes.

Yang Chu's face, many of them have long noticed. After all, although there are many merchants and people from the rivers and lakes in Yunguo County, it is still relatively rare to be alone.

Moreover, after Yang Chu sat down, he ordered a table of wine and food. The price of many dishes is not low in this restaurant. Even some people who want to make a living will be reluctant to eat so much. meal.

Not to mention the shopkeepers in the restaurant, whether it's the shopkeeper or the second shopkeeper, some people have long noticed Yang Chu's every move.

For those who can continue to open restaurants this year, almost every one has some backing forces behind it.

Although it is not the same as in the past, most of them rely on the government and wealthy families, but this is more terrifying, and it can support those who still open restaurants, most of which are related to some shears, robbers, mountain bandits Inseparable from the relationship.

It is impossible to say that since Yang Chu appeared, there have been some forces eyeing him.

However, so far, there is no time to act.

But——

The hand that Yang Chu showed suddenly was quite difficult and not easy in the eyes of some people who ran the rivers and lakes.

After the young scholar fell down, it was not too difficult to lift him up, but at the same time he lifted up the other person, he also caught a few spilled dishes on the tray with one hand. , this is not an ordinary ability.

Even, in the eyes of many people, it seems that the young scholar staggered for a while, and then stabilized his body.

These tactics have caused some people to slightly put away their underestimation.

Many Jianghu people who were waiting for Yang Chu to leave the restaurant before taking some measures have also re-evaluated in their hearts.

After all, in this day and age, there seems to be no scruples about daring to walk alone, and most of them are hard stubble.

"Put the dishes down."

Yang Chu glanced at the young scholar, from the short moment after the appearance of the other party, he probably already saw the young man The character of a scholar, and the malice of other diners and people in the store.

However, he didn't care about these glances.

These ordinary Jianghu people don't even have the idea of making him do more research.

The reason why Yang Chu is sitting here is just to learn more about the people's livelihood and pattern of this world.

In this meeting, he actually understood more and more things.

For example, the Imperial Court and the government of the Chen Dynasty not only lost their credibility, but even violent institutions seemed to have no effect.

The Imperial Court of the Dachen Dynasty, in Yang Chu's view, not only lost its strength control over the place, but also the military and yamen violent institutions seemed to have suffered serious damage.

From this point of view, it seems that there is something wrong with this Chen Chao himself.

"Perhaps there are demons and ghosts who stole a high position above the court, so it might be deliberate."

The thoughts in Yang Chu's mind have quickly shifted to other places. , everything is normal and abnormal, he sees it, and has all kinds of speculations and calculations in his heart.

"many thanks, many thanks guest..."

The young scholar held a tray in his hand. Hearing Yang Chu's words, he seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly put the tray on the tray. put down a few side dishes.

After thanking him, he turned around again and moved towards the shopkeeper with a mustache in front of the counter of this tavern with a face full of joy. Said, "shopkeeper, you see what I can do, I can run the hall..."

"Ai, Ning Shusheng, I really have enough staff in this shop. The small profit is too small to accommodate such a small profit. There are many people, you should go to other places to have a look." The shopkeeper with a moustache, when Ning Scholar placed the dishes, had withdrawn his previous gaze, and continued to bet on the abacus in front of the counter, as if Checking the ledger.

"Give me back the tray. It's a mess. If it is knocked over, you won't be able to pay for it." He snatched the tray from the opponent's hand, turned and moved towards the kitchen and ran.

The young scholar was empty-handed, seeing everyone around him looking at him with playful eyes, and some not knowing what to do looking at the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and said again: "Shopkeeper, I really I really need a job..."

"Scholar Ning, don't bother me again." The restaurant shopkeeper bowed his head and didn't pay much attention to the young scholars.

gu gu gu ——

Before he finished speaking, a hungry gu gu sound came from the young scholar's belly.

The young scholar looked to the left and right with a look of embarrassment. He was already hungry, and in this restaurant, the smell of food was everywhere, making him even more unbearable.

"Hahaha...Wu Na Young Scholar, are you hungry?"

On a table not far from the counter, there was a man with a ferocious face, revealing most of the dark The brawny man in his chest suddenly shouted loudly, "Come on, as long as you follow me back tonight, you can eat all the wine and meat on my table."

" Jiang second brother, this scholar with soft skin and tender meat can't stand the toss of a rough guy like you." Among the diners, there was another man with a sharp mouth and a thin body, standing up and looking at the young scholar from a distance, touched the chin said with a smile, "Scholar Ning, I think you should go back with me, Jiang second brother won't hurt anyone, you can't be spoiled by other rough people with your pure and white body."

Just now, when Scholar Ning brought the dishes on the tray to the table where Yang Chu was, he was hooked by the man who quietly stretched out his feet.

"I see, Scholar Ning, you should agree to the butcher's Xishi's entry into the fat. That butcher's Xishi's soft white flesh, you sleep on the mat at night, it's comfortable."

"That's not necessarily true. If Ning Shusheng is below, wouldn't it be crushed..."

"Hahaha, even if it is not crushed, with Shusheng Ning's small physique , it won't take a few days to cultivate the fertile fields."

"When the time comes Brotherly Li, can you go and help..."

Everyone in the restaurant saw the young scholar in embarrassment Appearance, all kinds of foul language more and more.

The young scholar listened to the ridicule of everyone in the restaurant, just pretended he didn't hear it, still looked at the restaurant shopkeeper eagerly, and continued to plead: "Shopkeeper, please please do me a favour, what am I? I can do everything, chop firewood, carry water, burn fire and run the hall."

"Ai, Scholar Ning!"

The shopkeeper in front of the counter seemed to be caught by a young scholar. Unbearably annoyed, he slammed the ledger at hand on the counter, his voice slightly raised, "I really don't have anything you can do here, if you're really hungry...then go to the kitchen to get two steamed buns. Hurry up, don't come again in the future."

"No, no."

The young scholar waved his hand, "I can't bear this... gu gu gu..."

Before he finished speaking, the young scholar's stomach growled again.

"hahaha..."

A group of diners in the restaurant lobby burst into laughter again.

At this time, the shop assistant in the back kitchen came out with a tray and a few fist-sized steamed buns.

"Take it!"

The restaurant shopkeeper reached out to greet the shop assistant, took two steamed buns from the top, stuffed them into the hands of the young scholar, and sent out, "Ning Caichen, Ning Scholar, look at your parents' care for me in the past, this is the last time I will help you, don't come back to my hotel in the future."

The young scholar looked at the two big boys in his hand. Mantou, swallowed saliva and said, but did not leave. Instead, he looked more and more firmly at the restaurant shopkeeper, and suddenly put the steamed bun on the counter, "The shopkeeper's merits and demerits are not rewarded, this... I can't accept this. "

Saying that, you walked out of the restaurant without looking back.

"This scholar is quite interesting."

Yang Chu watched the young scholar's actions at the window, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

From the time he entered this world, apart from the few people in Samsara World, the mortal people he saw and heard could not be said to have no enthusiasm, but most of them seemed to have changed their mentality after the loss of order. got twisted.

Outside Yunguo County, there were many scenes of slaying with swords drawn, many of which were just trivial matters.

The so-called decline of humanity, Yang Chu also has a further understanding from another aspect.

That is the corruption of the heart.

The world is difficult, order is broken, and everything becomes naked.

But the young scholar's actions made Yang Chu feel a little different.

"Come back."

Just as the young scholar known as Ning Caichen was about to leave the restaurant, suddenly the man on the counter looked a bit stubborn and kept his eyes open. The mustachioed shopkeeper shouted loudly again.

The young scholar paused, but did not turn his head. He just looked up at the market outside the restaurant in a dazed way.

The street market looked a little lively, a little messy, and there were occasional sounds of fighting.

"Scholar Ning, I remembered, I have something for you to do here." The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw the young scholar stop, and then said another sentence.

"Huh?!"

The young scholar turned his head when he heard this, and jumped to the counter in almost three or two steps, his clear eyes seemed to be glowing, "Shopkeeper, you said there was something for me to do, please tell me what it is?"

"Hey, look at these!"

restaurant shopkeeper, from behind In a cabinet, he found a book that was more than a foot thick, and smashed it in front of the young scholar with a bang.

"What is this?" The young scholar looked at the ledger and was at a loss for a while.

"These are all debts. If you have the ability, go and help me collect all of these debts." The restaurant shopkeeper shook the head, as if he said helplessly, "If you can collect it, Come back, every ten silver tael, I'll give you one or two, will it work?"

"Okay."

The young scholar looked at the full account book and was extremely excited. Turning his eyes, he stretched out his hand and shoved a steamed bun on the counter into his mouth. Then he went to read the account books, and said vaguely, "Shopkeeper, I will definitely be able to collect these accounts."

"You don't need to collect the bills in County City. Most of the bills are dead. Those who owe money either died or ran away."

The restaurant shopkeeper looked at the young scholar as if hungry The dead ghost bit the steamed bun as if reincarnated, and shook the head again, "Only these are from Guobei County below. Go and help me collect the accounts from previous years."

"Guobei County? !"

Many diners in the restaurant had been watching the excitement of this young scholar, but after the restaurant shopkeeper mentioned Guobei County, many people lifted the head and looked at the counter one by one , some strange rays of light flashed in his eyes.

“en?”

Yang Chu was sitting by the window, also aware of the movement here, and turned his head slightly.

He clearly felt that after the restaurant shopkeeper said the three words "Guobei County", the atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to change slightly in many moments.

"This Guobei County doesn't look simple. I'm afraid these people know some news."

Yang Chu thoughts are revolving, thinking of what happened in Linguo County before, Something vaguely caught.

"Okay, I'll help you from the shopkeeper to collect the account."

The young scholar in front of the counter didn't notice anything unusual, just swallowed a steamed bun. , and looked at the remaining steamed buns, "It's just, shopkeeper, if you have to hurry, can you...can you give me some dry food?"
