Chapter 4 The Diner and the Falcon
Qin Sanniang took a deep breath and said calmly: "Mr. Ruan, although I am just a commoner, I am not at the mercy of others. The rabbit is anxious and even bites people, let alone people? There is another thing Mr. Ruan may not know. Although my uncle is not a big man, he is also the head of the eighth-rank Ziyi in Zhanying City. Mr. Ruan sat down to have a small wine today. Let's turn swords into jade. Isn't that a wonderful thing?"
Ruan Jinyuan held his partner as his shoulder and laughed loudly. Until she laughed until she couldn't help but wiping the tears in the corners of her eyes, she sneered: "The eighth-rank? Turning swords into jade? Qin Sanniang, Qin Sanniang, are you going to laugh to death? You are just a wife, I don't know the weight of the three words Jingzhao Mansion, but I don't blame you for a mere eighth-rank dog slave, even if you see the city mu of Zhanying City, you have to send you, a little girl, to my bed!"
Qin Sanniang was originally a tough person, otherwise she would not have said anything wrong with her husband seven years after she passed away. After hearing Ruan Jinyuan's words, Qin Sanniang was so angry that her chest fluttered violently, her face turned red and her lips tightly, and she couldn't say a word.
Ruan Jinyuan pretended to shake her head: "Tsk tsk, look at this delicate face. If Brother Zhigui had not been swearing, I wouldn't believe that there is such a boss lady in this remote countryside. Tsk tsk, what's wrong with the widow? The little wife is tired of playing. Today I really want to change her taste!"
As he said that, Ruan Jinyuan and his two companions were laughing loudly. The brother Zhigui in the sky in Ruan Jinyuan behind him took two steps forward and said without hesitation: "Young Master Qin is a blessing for this widow's three hundred years of cultivation. But what kind of person is Mr. Qin? How can he be as reckless as a reckless man in the world? Our Dongling Road originally had four beauties: 'Wine, delicacy, black shiny, and beauty'. Why not use wine and food here to taste the fresh flavor of Sanniang's shop, and wait until the evening... to be a happy groom for another night?"
Ruan Jinyuan laughed and sighed: "Zhigui, Zhigui, Zhigui, although I have known you for only a few days, every time you say something, you will definitely win my heart. Brother Zhigui is a romantic and wonderful person. Today we are here for dinner. By the way, Sanniang, don't think of some bad ideas for drugging and running away. There is one thing that I can tell you clearly. If you have any accidents in your store, everyone in your alley will die."
After saying that, Ruan Jinyuan, regardless of Qin Sanniang, who was pale, turned around and asked Xiaojiu: "Young man, what you said just now, where are the famous foods in the store?"
At this moment, Xiaojiu still had a bright smile: "The only one who can deserve Mr. Ruan's identity is the most precious sea fish in our shop. How can Mr. Ruan sit with these lowly people? Please go upstairs to sit down, and I will bring the wine and food to the three of you."
Ruan Jinyuan stretched out his right hand and patted Xiaojiu on the cheek, and smiled and said, "You dog slave, you have more knowledgeable things than your boss's wife. When I return to Chang'an, you can go back with me."
Xiao Jiu was overjoyed and burst into tears with a loud voice, and gave a big gift: "Thank you, Mr. Ruan, I will never forget the great kindness and virtue!"
Ruan Jinyuan waved his hand, stepped on Xiaojiu's back and walked towards the second floor without looking back.
After Ruan Jinyuan and the other two went up to the second floor, Xiaojiu slowly got up from the ground.
There was still a smile on his face. Xiaojiu apologized to all the diners: "Dear neighbors and guests, the shop will be closed for now if you have something to do. Today's wine and dishes are invited. I'm asking for you. Come again next day."
Xiaojiu had finished speaking, but all the diners remained silent.
Xiaojiu is so smart that he naturally knows what these diners are thinking. His face remains unchanged and continued to add: "What you think, Xiaojiu knows, the shop is going to survive, and you all want to survive. Xiaojiu also knows this. Please rest assured that Xiaojiu is afraid of death and will not make fun of his life. Everyone, please come back."
After hearing Xiaojiu's promise, the diners slowly stood up and bowed their heads and walked out the door one after another.
But after leaving the door, the footsteps disappeared.
None of these diners walked far away and all guarded around the food hall.
Just because of Ruan Jinyuan's words, these people immediately transformed from diners into the most loyal hawks.
People's hearts are unpredictable and sea water is unpredictable.
The old saying is not false at all.
The last diner disappeared at the door, and Xiaojiu immediately walked over and closed the store door, and the smile on his face disappeared at the same time.
Qin Sanniang's face was still pale, and she could still stand firm in front of others. After the door was closed, the aura that was held in her chest dissipated and she could no longer stand steadily.
Just as she was about to fall, Xiaojiu poked out her right arm and grabbed Qin Sanniang's arm tightly.
Qin Sanniang deeply exhaled a mouthful of turbid air in her lungs and said with a wry smile: "Xiaojiu, today is really a disaster. We can't get through this hurdle. Xie Song, this child, will have to be busy taking care of him in the future. You can leave quickly."
Xiaojiu shook his head and said softly but firmly: "It's not a desperate situation yet, and it's still early to entertain the funeral. You go to the backyard to lock the door first. Unless I knock on the door, no matter what noise I hear, you won't be allowed to come out!"
Qin Sanniang looked at Xiaojiu's firm face and opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by Xiaojiu.
Xiaojiu didn't say much, just looked at Qin Sanniang quietly.
As a tragic act, Qin Sanniang nodded and walked slowly towards the backyard with the table, chairs and benches.
After Qin Sanniang left, Xiaojiu's face returned to her previous smile. After a week, he quickly walked towards the kitchen.
After a while, Xiaojiu walked out with a tray of steaming sea fish Sanqi. After closing his eyes on the first floor of the food hall, he then walked upstairs slowly with the tray.
Whether it is success or failure depends on this pot of sea fish three times.
After Xiaojiu arrived on the second floor, he saw the scene he expected.
Hong Bingjia and Xu Tong sat opposite each other, and the expressions of the two were still relaxed and calm.
Ruan Jinyuan and the other two sat down at the table next to them, with a very arrogant expression and their voices increased by three points compared to usual. When they spoke, they would have either been the political views of the current court, or the outcome of a battle between the current generals.
Xu Tong's aura is really too strong, which is a powerful attraction for the opposite sex, but for the same sex with equal strength and status, it is unreasonable hostility.
Even if you think you are of equal strength, this hostility will not be brisk.
Xiaojiu did not hesitate and brought the sea fish to Xu Tong. He smiled and said loudly: "Customer, the sea fish fish in our store is a unique one. Not only is it complicated to make, but the taste is also unspeakable. If the distinguished guest had not arrived, the stinky chef in our kitchen would not have made it."
Before Xu Tong spoke, Ruan Jinyuan was already snorting coldly: "Dishes are good dishes, but people also have to match this dish. Since this dish is so complicated, I believe the next dish cannot be cooked well in a while. Since that's the case, this dish might as well give it to us first."
It's done!
Xiaojiu looked embarrassed on the surface, but cheered inside.
But the next moment, Xiaojiu's heart that had just let go of was instantly raised.
Xu Tong glanced at Xiaojiu and said calmly: "Take this dish to those people, and calculate the food and gold in our account, and we have invited it."
Xiaojiu remained silent, and her forehead was already sweating coldly.
This white-robed scholar is really mysterious and unpredictable. His plan is already in vain.
Xiaojiu had no flaws on the surface. After breathing a relaxed breath, he brought the sea fish to Ruan Jinyuan's table with three chews.
While putting down the dishes, Xiaojiu, who was unwilling to give up, chuckled softly: "Mr. Ruan is really a phoenix among people. It's not a bad thing that the prince from Chang'an is the son of a noble family. His demeanor and demeanor really open the eyes of the little one. I believe you are considered a number one person in Chang'an, right?"
Ruan Jinyuan smiled proudly and shook his head deliberately and said, "You dog slave, you guessed wrong this time. I am really not the number one in Chang'an. I am just a mediocre person. But don't forget, where is our Chang'an and what is your Dongling? Even if you accompany the last person in our Chang'an City to your Dongling, it will be the leader. Do you think?"
Xiaojiu deliberately slowed down the speed of Shuncai and said in Ruan Jinyuan's words: "That must be true. Chang'an is the leader of our Daqian, and it can even be said to be the world's number one city. There are many talents in the crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and how can we compare to Dongling?"
Ruan Jinyuan did not disappoint Xiaojiu.
He only heard him say proudly: "Hey, you kid really have a few insights. You Dongling said that you are rich in the world and granaries in the world, but you are just a false reputation. Not to mention anything else, it is the road platform of Dongling Road. The famous Dongling King Shangjue. He did not go to Beijing to be trembling and walking on thin ice. This is why this vassal king is like this when he is Renshan today... "
Before Ruan Jinyuan finished speaking, she was cut off by Xu Tong's light words: "Why did people start talking nonsense before drinking? The world's general trend is, how can a few seeds lying on the credit book to talk clearly? When you go out, you must be careful. Didn't you teach this sentence to You Fufeng of Jingzhao Mansion?"
Ruan Jinyuan was being picked up by Xiaojiu and furious when he heard this: "Where are you from a young man to say these targetless words to me? My master's way of being a human is that you can talk about this thing at will..."
Ruan Jinyuan didn't say anything this time, and Xu Tong just glanced at Ruan Jinyuan like Xiaojiu just now.
It was just obvious that Xu Tong's eyes already contained a hint of anger this time.
Ruan Jinyuan fell back to his position in an instant. Before he could speak, he coughed out with a big mouthful of black blood. The blue shirt in front of his chest was soaked with blood at an extremely fast speed.
