Brother Hou San is a regular customer of Songshan Inn, and they have taken good care of the hot and sour noodle set business.
Several people in this business are merchants, and they go wherever the goods are, and there is no fixed route back and forth.
So meeting them here is just fate.
It’s been a long time since we last met, and we met again in a foreign country. Naturally, we have endless things to say.
"The last time we took this road, it was closed last year. There was no inn like this here at that time. This inn looks new. It must have just opened, right? I didn't see anyone there. Could it be that it just opened?
Collapse? That’s not right. This place is sparsely populated and there are many passers-by, so business should be quite easy.”
After greetings, it is rare to start chatting.
"It's a newly opened store, but it was just closed down by the government." Song Qiu nodded.
Brother Hou Sange and others were stunned, "How come it was sealed up when it was good?"
Song Qiu then told the story from beginning to end. After hearing this, Brother Hou Sange and other strong men all felt as if they were constipated, and their faces looked very ugly.
They travel all over the country and earn their hard-earned money. There are some tea sheds and inns on the side of the official road, which are of course good. It can be convenient for them to avoid sleeping in the open, right?
But there are people who open black shops to do such a business. It’s really unreasonable!
It's not easy for people like them on the road, but if they are targeted and murdered by such a black shop, I feel angry just thinking about it.
"If you, the Song Xiaodong family, hadn't discovered their evil deeds and caught them first, and we caught up and moved in today, who knows if we would have been killed too? Not only would the money and goods be gone, but we would also have lost our lives! We wouldn't have lost our lives.
He said, "You can't live in peace even if you die! It would be easier for such a person to behead him! He should be quartered in pieces!"
"That's right! We've been traveling south and north for so many years, and this is the first time we've heard of such a thing. It's really the most amazing thing in the world."
"Thinking about it this way, we feel unsafe as we continue our business trip. We don't dare to stop in any inns we encounter along the way!"
"well!"
"After all, over the years, we have traveled to many places, but we still rested comfortably and ate happily at Songshan Inn!"
Everyone sighed as they spoke, then Third Brother Hou rolled his eyes and looked at Song Qiu: "I heard from shopkeeper Tao that Song Xiaodong's family is traveling to Qingping Mansion to find a place to open an inn?
It's said that Song Xiaodong's family came to us to inquire about route drawings and maps. I wonder if Song Xiaodong's family will get anything good from this trip?"
These are all acquaintances, there's nothing bad to say. Besides, her business depends on these people.
Song Qiu immediately said: "Third brother just said that this place is sparsely populated and there are many passers-by, so business should be easy. So what does third brother think of this place?"
As she said this, she also joked, "If I choose to open an inn here, third brother, are you afraid that it will also be a black shop?"
When Brother Hou heard what he said, he nodded repeatedly, "This place is really good, okay!"
Hearing the joke later, he also laughed, "I'm afraid if others drive it. If you drive Song Xiaodong's house, even if you drive it into the more desolate desert, I won't think it's a shady shop!"
When Song Qiu heard this, he felt comforted by the trust of old customers, and made up his mind to open the inn to various inconvenient official roads to provide them with the greatest convenience.
As we were talking in a hurry, the rain outside had slowed down a little, but it hadn't stopped yet. It was completely impossible to rush on.
It was already meal time, and many people's stomachs were growling.
The Han military general Fang, who was with Brother Hou, took out the cloth bag he was carrying, looked at Song Qiu with a smile and said: "When you are away from home, everything is casual. Hehe, today I will ask Song Xiaodong's family to try this dry food that is convenient for traveling."
Song Qiu looked around and saw that it was the magic tool for eating on the go - hot and sour noodle set.
I couldn't help shaking my head and laughing, then thought that the Black Wind Inn had been sealed off. Apart from the stolen goods and other items that had been taken away, other things in the kitchen were still there.
He said, "Save this dry food for you to eat when it is inconvenient in the future. Now that we are here, how can we ask you to eat dry food?"
With that said, he shouted to Aling, took Ma Liang and prepared to go to the backyard kitchen.
When Brother Hou heard this, he grinned and said, "Okay, let's have a meal at Song Xiaodong's house here. I wish you all the best in your trip in advance. The inn is booming!"
This inn has just opened and sells dog meat on sheep's heads. It doesn't have all the supplies, but it still has basic oil and salt.
In addition, there is rice and noodles.
But there are no dishes and nothing better can be made.
Song Qiu thought about his first acquaintance with Hou Sange and others, smiled, made peace with each other, and made a pot of gnocchi.
Song Qiu was good at making soup, and even a simple pot of noodle soup smelled very fragrant.
A group of people hugged the bowls and chopsticks in the inn, scooped up a large bowl of gnocchi and ate it with satisfaction.
It’s hot and filling!
While they were having a lively meal, there was a movement outside the inn.
A motorcade came over in the light rain and stopped in front of the door.
"Is there really an inn here? Well, the rain is really annoying!" The young man who was riding the horse complained and got off the horse.
"It's good to have an inn, I'm starving to death! Let's go in first to eat, rest, and wait until the rain stops before leaving. If it doesn't stop raining, we will have a place to stay tonight!" Another young man dismounted and shouted to the convoy.
Everyone put away the carriage and went to the inn.
After a while, no one came out of the inn, so a few people strode inside, "Where's the waiter? Why don't you come out to greet the carriages and horses?"
After entering the door, he saw a group of people in the lobby sitting and eating with bowls in their hands. The young man said: "Isn't there someone here? Where is the waiter? Go out and help us place the carriages and horses, and feed our horses some fodder and
water."
As he said this, several people found an empty table near the door and sat down, while saying: "Where is the shopkeeper? Come and order quickly, Ma Liu will serve us something delicious, we are starving!"
Hou Sange and others were busy looking at Song Qiu.
Song Qiu paused, looked at Meng Chaoqun, and winked at him.
Meng Chaoqun understood, put down the bowl, stood up and went over, saying with a smile: "I'm really sorry, ladies and gentlemen, the shop is still under construction, and the business is not ready yet, so it has not been opened."
"It's not open yet?" The young man was stunned.
Then several people looked at each other. It was still raining. They had escaped the heavy rain in the woods before, so people came to explore the way. This was the only place. They had to go further, but they couldn't find a place to stay after walking for several miles.
Woolen cloth.
Then he said: "There must be something to eat, right? We are all hungry, and we don't want to choose at the moment. You can find whatever food you want, give us some first?"
Song Qiu saw that those who came in and those who didn't come in from outside totaled only a dozen people, and they still had enough to eat, so he nodded.
At that moment, Du Chuanfu and his horse were all moving. There was fodder in the stable in the backyard, so he helped feed the horses.
Song Qiuze and Aling went to the kitchen and cooked another large pot of noodles.
When you are out and about, you don't have to worry about being hungry. The noodles are delicious, so a group of people can enjoy a big bowl each.
While eating, the young man spoke, "I see your inn is well behaved? Are you ready to open soon?"
