After a whole afternoon, Su Xuan finally cleared up the account book, handed it over to the shopkeeper for audit, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Lao Bai's bowl, and started nibbling at the door.

The rain outside was not small, but it was getting bigger and bigger. Su Xuan was sitting at the door, and Xuan Hu ran over and lay down on the side of his stool.

Xiaobei took a ball of yarn to tease Xuanhu, but no matter how he dangled in front of it, Xuanhu was unmoved, and even looked at Xiaobei with a slightly disdainful look.

"Haha, you see, even Xuanhu doesn't play yarn balls, only you."

Old Bai laughed.

"Humph."

Mo Xiaobei stomped her feet and ran back to the room in the backyard angrily.

"Boom"

"Boom"

Thunder suddenly broke out, and a purple lightning flashed across the sky, tearing the cloudy clouds, and the lightning flashed away, followed by thunder.

"woooooo"

"woooooo"

The gust of wind roared with the torrential rain, slapping the doors and windows, and the damp water vapor hit the face, making it extremely comfortable.

It rained heavily, and the thunder and lightning became more and more dense. Thunderstorms exploded in the sky over Qixia Town, causing the ground to shake.

Dazui was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Xiaobei came out shortly after getting angry and playing with Xuanhu.

"It looks like the rain won't stop tomorrow."

Su Xuan leaned against the door frame, crossed his legs, and looked at the rain outside.

"That's a good thing."

Lao Bai grinned and said, "It just so happens that you don't have to get up so early tomorrow, so you can sleep in for a while."

"Don't even think about it."

How can Tong Xiangyu make Lao Bai fulfill his wish: "Even tomorrow afternoon, you have to get up early in the morning and clean up the tables, chairs and benches."

"Go, go, go."

Lao Bai said: "Then I'll pack up the tables, chairs and benches and go back to sleep, so it's fine."

At this moment

Under the rain curtain, a figure was slowly walking towards the inn. He couldn't see his appearance clearly. He was wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, but judging from his figure, he was a little stooped. It should be an old man with a cane in his hand.

"It's business."

Tong Xiangyu hurriedly tidied up her clothes, with a smile on her face, waving a lady fan, standing at the door and shouting: "This 760 customer, it's raining so hard, do you want to have a meal or stay in a hotel? Don't worry, the price is guaranteed and discounted.

Moreover, there is only one inn in the whole town, no matter if you go south or north, you have to walk dozens of miles to find the next inn. "

"you are?"

The visitor stopped in front of the inn, raised his head, revealed an old face, looked at Tong Xiangyu, frowned slightly, and spoke in a questioning tone.

Although she was just an ordinary old woman by her attire, somehow, the shopkeeper felt a strong oppression.

He hurriedly said: "My name is Tong Xiangyu, and I am the shopkeeper of this inn."

"nonsense."

The old woman said with a straight face: "This place is clearly called Shangru Inn, and shopkeeper Su is the shopkeeper here."

The old woman looked at Su Xuan.

Those eyes were extremely deep, as if they wanted to see through Su Xuan.

"Master."

His keen intuition told him that this old woman is not simple, very not simple. Su Xuan took the conversation and said with a smile: "That's all the old calendar. Last year I transferred the shop to shopkeeper Tong. Now I'm just the accountant in the shop. .”

"May I ask what is the relationship between Shopkeeper Su and this Shopkeeper Lu?"

the old woman asked suddenly.

"friend."

Su Xuan smiled lightly.

But he narrowed his eyes: "If you want to stay in the store, you can come in, if you don't stay in the store, you can leave."

A faint murderous aura filled the air, the four eyes met, looking into Su Xuan's eyes, the old woman's body trembled.

This trace of murderous intent is just a warning, if the old woman doesn't know what to do anymore, Su Xuan doesn't mind letting her know her own rules.

The old woman's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said: "Please forgive me, shopkeeper Su. I am talking too much. I came here tonight in the rain to order a table of food and wine for my master."

"What time?"

Su Xuan's tone was flat.

"As long as shopkeeper Su is free, any time."

The old woman replied.

"Then ten days later."

Su Xuan stretched out his hand: "You should know my rules."

"Understood."

The old woman took out an ingot of gold from her sleeve and handed it over. He took it and weighed it, and then smiled: "Ten days later, Su will be waiting for you at the Tongfu Inn.".

Chapter 79: The Mysterious Woman

Tong Xiangyu on the side stared straight at the gold in Su Xuan's hand, and swallowed unconsciously.

The pupils in those eyes were about to turn into the shape of copper coins. If it weren't for Lao Bai's arm being grabbed and the old woman's presence, she would have rushed over.

"My master likes to be quiet, so if you bother shopkeeper Su that day, don't receive other guests."

The old woman glanced at the rest of the people, especially staying on Tong Xiangyu for a moment, and spoke in a deep voice.

Su Xuan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "In this case, an additional deposit is required, because after ten days, someone has reserved two tables, and the inn is owned by shopkeeper Tong, so I can't make the decision."

"When did I book two tables, why didn't I know?"

Tong Xiangyu asked Lao Bai in a low voice.

"Just now, when you happened to be away."

Lao Bai opened his eyes and talked nonsense, his face was not red, and he was not panting.

"Big mouth, you say yes."

General asked, while frantically giving Li Dazui winks, the latter immediately understood, and echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, and they even gave a deposit, and they traveled thousands of miles just to try Xiaosu's craftsmanship."

The old woman's face was expressionless, but the night was too blurry, otherwise it could still be seen, at least it was much darker than before.

"money is not a problem."

The old woman took out three more ingots of gold and said: "Two ingots of shopkeeper Su will be used to compensate those two people. If they refuse, I will naturally go to them to discuss the other. The other ingot will be used to rent an inn for shopkeeper Tong for a day." .”

"Good good."

Before Su Xuan agreed, Tong Xiangyu said excitedly: "Old man, don't worry, when your master comes, there won't be even a single fly in the inn, not to mention other guests."

"Farewell."

The old woman turned and left, turned the corner of the street, and disappeared.

Tong Xiangyu returned to the inn and sat at the long table, feeling sluggish and unable to recover for a long time.

"Zhantang, tell me, this is not a dream."

She took Lao Bai's arm and spoke tremblingly.

"Dream what dream."

Lao Bai picked up the gold ingot on the table, weighed it, and said with great certainty: "It's real gold."

"Shopkeeper, whoever sees it has a share."

Li Dazui came over, and Mo Xiaobei also stared at his sister-in-law eagerly.

"Go, go, play while you go."

Lao Bai said unhappily: "I didn't do anything, and I still want to see those who have a share, it's against you."

"You know that you bullied me."

Li Dazui was indignant.

Laobai moved his buttocks, approached Tong Xiangyu, with a flattering smile on his face, and whispered: "Shopkeeper, I just saw a pair of shoes and a suit of clothes at the tailor shop a few days ago, do you want to borrow them from me first?" Point, when I have money, I will pay it back immediately."

"Old Bai, you are not authentic."

"Brother Bai, is there anyone like you?"

The sullen voices of Mo Xiaobei and Li Dazui came from behind, which startled Lao Bai.

"What do you want to do?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly put away the gold, put it in his arms, covered his chest with both hands, and looked at the three of them vigilantly.

"Tch, boring, stingy."

Seeing this, Mo Xiaobei didn't continue to scare her sister-in-law.

"Stingy."

Li Dazui also went back and continued knocking on melon seeds.

"Just dig it."

Lao Bai sighed.

"Sister Xiangyu, this is yours."

Su Xuan took out an ingot of gold and put it on the table, "The two of you did the business together, and you can divide it as you agree."

"No."

Tong Xiangyu's head was shaking like a rattle. Although she likes money, she has never been greedy for money. She does not take money that does not belong to her, and does not take money that should not be taken by herself.

"You take the money."

She said earnestly: "Not to mention anything else, just the daily food for you and Xuanhu is not a small expense. Although your family has a lot of money, you can't resist this method of sitting and eating."

"Shopkeeper, this is not like your style."

Old Bai teased.

"Hey, I originally wanted to give you a little wage increase next month."

Tong Xiangyu regretted: "Now it seems that there is no need for this at all."

"The shopkeeper, it is necessary, very necessary."

"Sister-in-law, my pocket money will also be increased a little."

"Shopkeeper, can we increase our monthly payment to one tael, five dollars is fine."

In the end, the shopkeeper raised Da Zui and Lao Bai's wages by one renminbi each, while Xiao Bei's pocket money increased by thirty renminbi.

"I'll save enough money to renovate the inn~"

She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "At that time, all the tables, chairs, and benches will be replaced with new ones, the stairs will also need to be replaced, and the roof in the backyard will need to be repaired. It is best to buy the two rooms next door and repair a door. You can go directly to Xiao Su’s yard to visit.”

"Cough cough."

Su Xuan interrupted: "Sister Xiangyu, the two houses next door are also mine."

"what"

Tong Xiangyu was surprised, and then showed great joy: "The beauty is very good, the beauty is very good, it just saves the money to buy a house, and it can be used with a little renovation."

She said: "I will set aside a separate floor for you, Xiao Su, to entertain those guests who spend a lot of money."

"Meidi is very good, and Meidi is very good, so our Tongfu Inn takes both high-end and low-end routes."
