Seeing this, Yang Dalian hurried out of the tea shed to greet them, and asked them if they wanted to rest.
It was already late to have breakfast at this time, and it was still early to have lunch. People like those in the tea shed were on their way to get up early, and they were rushing back after finishing their work, or those who had not had breakfast yet stopped to drink tea and order steamed buns.
Of course the steamed buns are good for filling your stomach.
The traveler paused for a moment, then got off his horse, skipped the tea shed, and went straight to the inn, intending to have a meal and rest before leaving.
Yang Da connected the reins and hurried to harness the horse and feed it. Du Chuanfu came out to greet a few people and asked them to come in and sit down.
There were only five people in this group, each riding a horse and holding a sword. They looked heroic and looked like knights. Zhang Lihua's eyes were bright when she saw this. It was the first time she saw such a knight-errant.
!
I couldn't help but wink at A Ling, who was also a master of flying and fighting, and he was also a knight-errant.
After receiving Zhang Lihua's wink, Aling looked at his nose and heart, glanced at the people at the table, and silently retreated to the kitchen.
Song Qiu just entered the kitchen and sat down to prepare, waiting for the orders from outside to come in.
When I saw Aling come in, I thought the food was ready, and I was about to ask why it was so fast. When I saw Aling acting like this, I felt something was wrong, so I couldn't help but ask.
Ah Ling poked the ground with her toes, leaned over and whispered: "I know the few people who just came outside. Sister Ah Qiu, I will stay in the kitchen to help, and I will go out after they leave."
When Song Qiu heard this, she thought that the five people she saw outside were dressed like good people in the world, and they were the same as those in the dramas she had followed.
I don’t know whether he is a righteous person or an evil person. Anyway.
Seeing Aling like this, he nodded and said: "Okay."
She now regards A Ling as a relative and a sister. Since she said she knew him, but he was an existence that could not be seen by them, she would not go out.
Zhang Lihua served hot tea, and Du Chuanfu stepped forward to ask them what they wanted to eat, and took the initiative to tell them the name of today's dish.
"Guests, the staple food served by our inn today is rice and steamed buns. The dishes include boiled fish, spicy chicken, stir-fried sausage, mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, pickled pepper pork liver, red oil pork belly, and crucian carp tofu soup.
, winter melon and meatball soup, etc., what do you want to order?"
When the person in charge heard the name of the dish, he frowned, but he didn't say anything more. He just ordered a few dishes and ordered steamed buns as the main dish.
Du Chuanfu agreed and hurried to the back to pass the dishes.
Song Qiu took the order and got busy.
After yesterday's day, she returned to the feeling of working in the kitchen for two hours without rest, and now it was smoother.
Using both pots at the same time, all these dishes were cooked quickly.
Those five people were probably also busy on their way. After she finished her work, she put away the stove and went out to take a sip of hot water before they paid their bills and left.
After everyone left, Aling came out of the kitchen to help clear the table.
Song Qiu looked at it, still a little curious about how Aling knew those people.
On the other hand, Zhang Lihua, while putting away the table with Aling, chatted with her, "I asked you just now and you didn't even come out, but it's a pity, you didn't see that there was a man with jewels embedded in his sword.
What! People say a sword is a sword, so it is a sword, right?"
"I also saw the man in gray clothes pick up a fly as soon as he took out his chopsticks! What an amazing skill!"
Aling listened, and now that the person was gone, he was happy to chat, "Isn't that awesome? There were just a few people, and just picking one of them would be enough to shock everyone in the world."
"So powerful?" Zhang Lihua's eyes lit up, and then she looked at Aling suspiciously, "How do you know? It sounds like you are very familiar with me? By the way, aren't you serving food? You didn't even come out just now.
If you don’t come, why are you hiding?”
Al-Ling didn't know what to say, and looked anxiously at Song Qiu, waiting for her to rescue her.
Song Qiu looked funny, although he was also curious, but some things should not be said openly, and said: "It's already passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, why are there still flies? We run an inn, so we must pay close attention to hygiene.
Attention, there are no guests at the moment, please use hot water to wipe down the tables and benches, and sweep the floor thoroughly."
This new inn was cleaned in the morning and evening. It was already very clean. Zhang Lihua was also curious about where the flies came from. She raised her head and looked around, but she didn't see any. However, one of them had just been caught by the man.
After listening to Song Qiu's words, he nodded.
Mrs. Wang on the other end had already gone to get a basin of hot water and was ready to take action.
Zhang Hugua, who had just come back leisurely from the mountain in the early morning, dragged two bundles of firewood into the inn, "Aqiu, I brought you two bundles of firewood, where should I put them?"
Song Qiu listened and saw people bringing in firewood. He was also curious. Didn't they just hand it over at home every afternoon? They brought it to the inn by themselves. Why did they deliver it in person today? There were only two bundles.
.
The speed of collecting firewood is really unbelievable.
After what happened last time, Song Qiu already looked down on Zhang Hugua and didn't want to call him uncle.
Fortunately, Du Chuanfu had already stepped forward to take the firewood.
Before Song Qiu said anything, Zhang Hugua was still anxious. He waved his hand and said: "Just keep the money in the account and you and your grandma Deng will get married. I have to go to town, so I won't sit down!"
After that, he turned around and went out. He hadn't been to the town for several days. He felt itchy in his heart. He wanted to find his elder brother to take him to listen to the theater and drink tea. He was exhausted after collecting firewood every day.
Song Qiu didn't want to ask him to sit down. Hearing that he was going to the town, he wanted to be lazy instead of working hard.
Last time I said I had to put a sack on him, but I've been busy these days and haven't had time yet.
This man won't be relieved unless he cleans himself up. Now that Zaohua has healed up, there is still a mark on his forehead if you look closely.
This girl has a scar on her face. If she is disgusted with it, it will be difficult to talk about this marriage in the future.
Song Qiu really sneered at the father who treated him like this.
In a blink of an eye, he met Aling's eyes. It was self-evident without a word.
Ah Ling's eyes lit up, she raised her eyebrows at Song Qiu and said, "Oh, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Let's go back and use the toilet first!" After that, he ran out.
Zhang Lihua curled her lips when she heard this, "There's no toilet here? Why do you have to run back?"
Song Qiu specially focused on the toilets of the inn. There were two specially built toilets at that end. There were also men's toilets and women's toilets. They were built with wooden boards on top. They were clean. I don't know how much better than the toilets at home.
, there is not much odor even if it is cleaned at any time every day.
This Aling even ran home.
Song Qiu said: "Every time she squats in the latrine, she has to squat for half a day, occupying the wooden side, just in case there are guests later who want to use it."
This is also true.
However, Zhang Lihua thought that she had not seen many female guests since the tea shed. She wondered if she would be able to see female guests now that the inn was open.
