Chapter 38 The scholar was humiliated and wrote a strange book
Everyone came to Tongfu Inn happily and was about to have a good meal, but they didn't want to.
"Sorry, Lao Xing, we're closed today, you'd better go eat somewhere else."
Before everyone could enter the door, Zhangguan Tong, who was guarding the door, persuaded Lao Xing with a smile.
Old Xing couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Yesterday he said he closed, but today he came to say he closed, did he offend Zhanggui Tong somewhere?
"No, Zhangguin Tong, why are you closing every day?" Old Xing asked in confusion.
When she heard Lao Xing’s inquiry, the shopkeeper was also a little embarrassed, but she couldn’t say it explicitly, after all, family scandals should not be made public.
She couldn't say directly that Xiao Bei beat his classmate when he went to school on the first day and even tore his husband's book, which led to his husband coming to visit his home tonight.
"This, Lao Xing, there is something wrong today. You'd better come back tomorrow. I'll give you a 20% discount." The shopkeeper continued to persuade him softly.
Listening to the shopkeeper's soft tone, if it were a daily routine, Old Xing might have been persuaded to go back.
But it was not possible at this time. Old Xing was watching a group of brothers. If he just returned home like this, how could he do anything in the future?
Old Xing stretched his head and looked at the bright door. The table in the lobby was filled with hearty meals. The scent of the smell came into his nose. It didn't look like it was about to close the door no matter how it looked.
"Shopkeeper Tong, we just have a meal, so you can be compatible." Old Xing whispered in the shopkeeper's ear.
"Look, there are so many of us, where can we eat besides you?"
"This..." Hearing Old Xing's words, the shopkeeper was thinking about how to refuse.
However, Lao Xing then added in a low voice. "To be honest, Magistrate Lou asked me to bring them to your food. After we finish eating, we all want to fight the bandits."
When I heard that it was County Magistrate Lou, the shopkeeper hesitated. Old Xing was an old acquaintance and was easy to pass.
However, as a local parent official, the magistrate Lou had to give him face.
Moreover, the other party was trying to fight the bandits. If they didn't even let them eat a meal, they would probably not be able to make it in this Seven Heroes Town.
After pondering for a moment, the shopkeeper nodded, turned around and said to Lao Bai who had been paying attention to them in the door.
"Okay, Zhan Tang, let Dazui make a table of good food for Captain Xing and others, and keep the meal money in my account."
"Okay!" Lao Bai quickly left.
The money for the meal is recorded in the shopkeeper's account, which means free. However, Old Xing dared not let the shopkeeper's free money. County Magistrate Lou is very taboo.
"People from Tong, thank you for your kindness, but there is no need to record this in your account, you should be as much as the money as you should." Old Xing said hurriedly.
The shopkeeper ignored it and patted Lao Xing on the shoulder with a smile.
"After Lao Xing, everyone is going to fight the bandits and maintain the public order in this town. It is also worth it for me to do my part as a merchant in this town. Come on, come in quickly."
As he said that, the shopkeeper invited everyone in.
Looking at Zhangguan Tong's enthusiastic appearance, everyone thanked him, and completely forgot that it was the shopkeeper who blocked them at the door.
Xiao Liu couldn't help but sigh when he watched from the side that Zhanggui Tong was really a natural businessman.
In addition to profit, the most important thing in this business is reputation. If you only focus on profit but not value reputation, this business will not last long; but only focus on reputation but not value profit, this business will lose all your money.
Zhanggui Tong is greedy and stingy, but he is also very keen on the overall situation. She is not vague when it is time to spend money.
It is a very good reputation for the top, the bottom, and the customers.
Such people will only become bigger and stronger in their business.
"Xiao Liu, why are you stupid? Come in quickly." Seeing that everyone was coming in, Xiao Liu was still standing outside the door and hurriedly took his hand and was about to take him in.
Xiao Liu was about to thank him, but a familiar voice came just now.
"Shopkeeper Tong!" Although this voice was old, it was full of energy.
Xiaoliu and Zhangguin Tong looked back and saw the person coming, the shopkeeper immediately let go of Xiaoliu's hand and trotted forward.
"Mr. Zhu, I'm so embarrassed. Please come all the way." The shopkeeper quickly asked with a smile on his face.
This person is Mr. Zhu who Xiaoliu saw in Baima Academy today. When Xiaoliu saw Mr. Zhu's arrival, he became clear.
It should be that Xiao Bei had a trouble at school today, and the teacher was going to visit his home. The shopkeeper then prepared good wine and food to apologize.
"Liu, what are you doing? Come in quickly." Old Xing in the door couldn't help but shouted strangely when he saw that Xiaoliu had not come in.
"Oh, okay, let's come now." Xiao Liu quickly withdrew his gaze, walked in, and under the leadership of Lao Bai and the others, he came to a small square table and sat down.
This is a small square table that diners usually sit, which can accommodate four people. As for the big table that Xiaoliu and others usually sit, it is used by Zhanggui Tong and others to entertain Mr. Zhu.
At this time, three newly recruited people were already sitting on the small square table. When they saw Xiao Liu coming, they quickly stood up and greeted him. "Previous Captain Yan."
Xiao Liu saw this scene and knew that it was arranged by his master, so he asked him to communicate more with these three newcomers. Xiao Liu quickly clasped his fists and laughed warmly.
"The three elder brothers don't have to be so arrogant. We will all be colleagues in the future. In the public service, Xiaoliu is the deputy captain, but in this private, we can be called Xiaoliu. The older brothers are just a good choice.
It hasn't been long since everyone met Xiaoliu. He saw that Xiaoliu became the deputy captain so young, and he was worried that it would be difficult for him to get along with.
But I didn't expect that Xiao Liu was so easy to get along with. For a moment, I let go of my uneasiness and started talking to Xiao Liu.
Before the food was served, everyone started to communicate with each other. They were very curious about Xiaoliu and became the deputy captain at such a young age.
Xiao Liu was also very good at speaking, and for a moment, the dining table was filled with laughter and joy.
Xiao Liushi knew that chatting must not become his own one-man show, and that everyone must have something to say. So Xiao Liu just started to lead the topic to everyone without any trace.
Bragging, boasting, showing off your glorious deeds, everyone has the desire to express. If you often have nothing to say when chatting, it is just because you don’t talk about topics you are interested in.
While boasting with everyone, Xiao Liu did not forget to pay attention to the situation of the shopkeeper and their house.
Mr. Zhu sat on the table as soon as he came in and said loudly what Xiao Bei did in the academy today.
Because of a quarrel with his classmates, he directly beat someone and tore up his precious books.
Xiao Bei, the shopkeeper, and everyone except the big mouth of Tongfu Inn were listening, just like a primary school student being scolded, listening to Mr. Zhu’s criticism.
When he heard Mr. Zhu finally finished speaking, the shopkeeper quickly poured wine to quench Mr. Zhu's thirst and made a clear statement.
"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely discipline Xiao Bei well. We will compensate you for how much your book costs."
