"Let's go, brother will take you to eat something delicious!"
Wu Liang sighed with emotion for a while, kicked Erhu who was still drooling next to him, and walked towards the small restaurant not far away with master steps.
Erhu was a little confused. Didn't he say he didn't bring any money? Why did he still want to eat delicious food?
Subconsciously, I pinched the wrinkled banknotes in my hand. Ten yuan seemed a little not enough. I wouldn't put myself here washing dishes, would I?
"Idiot, why don't you leave yet!"
"Oh, here we come!" Although Erhu was a little worried, he still chose to follow Wu Liangyan as he always followed his advice.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Erhu sniffed a few times. He hadn't eaten since he had gone out in the morning, and he had been driving for several hours on the mountain road. The growing body was already so hungry that his chest was touching his back.
Smelling the aroma of vegetables wafting in the air, Erhu's stomach growled in unison.
Wu Liang couldn't help but smile when he heard the voice, "Just order whatever you want to eat. After you finish eating, you have to buy fish fry."
"elder brother……"
Erhu looked hesitant and was about to say something when Wu Liang's eyes glared and he immediately stopped and said weakly: "Then let's have a bowl of beef noodles."
"It's worthless!"
Wu Liang looked helpless and stopped asking the boy for his opinion. He turned around and shouted to the boss not far away: "Boss, hurry up and serve some signature dishes and a bottle of Erguotou!"
If you have never eaten pork, have you never seen pigs running away? Although it was the first time for Master Wu to enter the secular world in a real sense, he was not afraid at all.
He had heard from the villagers that Erguotou was the strongest liquor and the most suitable for men to drink.
"Okay, it'll be ready soon!"
The middle-aged man who was the shop owner and chef on the side immediately responded with a smile when he heard this, served Wu Liang and the others a pot of tea, and quickly went into the kitchen to get busy.
Because it wasn't time to eat yet, there were only two people in the small restaurant, Wu Liang and Er Hu.
As soon as Erhu saw the boss leaving, Erhu suddenly became anxious and said eagerly: "Brother, there is something wrong with me..."
"Shut up!"
"Eat yours, why do you care so much!"
Seeing Wu Liang's calm look, Erhu scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, fidgeting as if there were nails in his butt, fearing that he would be kicked out by his boss later because he had no money to pay the bill.
It would be better to fight them out. Erhu, who considers himself rough-skinned and thick-skinned, is not worried about this, but if the boss calls the police and arrests them, it will be over.
The people who were born and raised in the mountains are most afraid of dealing with those policemen wearing tiger skins, not because they are afraid, but because they cannot afford to lose face!
Wu Liang squinted his eyes and tasted the low-quality bitter tea in the cup contentedly, not worrying at all about the possible consequences of eating the Overlord Meal.
The waiting time was excruciating, of course, for Erhu, Wu Liang didn't feel that way.
When the shop owner brought some fragrant dishes to the table, Erhu, who had already fainted from hunger, didn't care anymore. He just wanted to die, and he had to be a full-fledged ghost!
As soon as a plate of chicken was served, half of Wu Liang's chopsticks were missing before he even put down his chopsticks. Wu Liang, who was about to persuade Erhu to eat more, suddenly had black lines all over his face.
"Bastard!"
Wu Liang laughed and cursed, suddenly feeling indescribable satisfaction in his heart, maybe this is happiness.
In the past, he had eaten not only chicken, duck, and fish, but also dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but he had never felt as satisfied as he did today.
Pouring himself a cup of Erguotou and savoring the hot taste in his mouth, Wu Liang felt comfortable for a while. He did not feel so delicious when he secretly drank the Jade Emperor's thousand-year-old nectar that day.
This is life, plain and ordinary, but full of happiness.
…
Erhu, who was full of wine and food, rubbed his belly and burped, was ready to die generously.
That tragic look made Wu Liang laugh for a while. A silly boy is a silly boy. When he was eating, he was not worried about not being able to finish the meal. On the contrary, he finished 80% of the food on the table by himself.
Wu Liang didn't bother to tease him, turned around and shouted: "Boss, check out!"
"Here we go, there are eighty-two in total. Just give me eighty to make up the whole number. Can you see if it's right?"
The shop owner ran over with a menu, and his face almost turned red with laughter. Business in this small county is not easy to do, so eating eighty for two people can be considered a big profit.
"eighty!"
Before Wu Liang could say anything, Erhu beside him exclaimed.
It cost eighty yuan. He didn't feel it when he just ate it, but now he was dumbfounded when the boss said this.
Eighty yuan is enough for a family of three in the mountains to pay for miscellaneous expenses for a month. The mountain people in the mountains only spend about a thousand yuan a year. When did Erhu try to eat his family for a month with just one meal?
cost.
But the dish just now was really delicious, Erhu thought to himself, but his face fell.
"Little brother, you get what you pay for. Look, braised pork ribs, Kung Pao chicken, braised chicken... Eighty yuan is really not much. If you live in a big city, you can't even eat twice as much.
These."
The owner of the shop also looked innocent. In fact, his consumption here was not expensive at all. The key was that both of them were big eaters. They ordered four or five meat dishes alone. In those big cities, eighty yuan might not be enough.
Eat a native hen.
Erhu wanted to say something more, but Wu Liang interrupted impatiently: "That's it, boss, can you not pay?"
"What?"
The face of the man who had been smiling just now suddenly turned stiff, even though he knew that the two guys in front of him were mountain people, and they had strong folk customs and could not be messed with casually.
But if you want to eat a king's meal here, let alone the mountain people, even if the chairman comes, you can't do it!
"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. I forgot to bring money when I went out in a hurry. Please help me change this thing. I'll give you a dime worth of it."
Wu Liang didn't wait for the boss to get angry, so he took out a round golden object from his pocket and threw it to the shopkeeper.
"Is this gold?" The shop owner bit the golden ball in his hand with suspicion. How could these two bumpkins have gold?
"Nonsense, you can find out if you just ask."
The shop owner still couldn't believe it, but he was not reconciled to the fact that the eighty yuan had just gone away like that. He glanced at the door and saw that no one was coming to eat for the time being. He hesitated before saying, "Okay, I'll help you."
You go to the gold shop and ask, but you have to go with me. If it’s fake, don’t blame me for being rude!”
After saying that, the shop owner shouted to a smoking man next to the restaurant: "Lao Wang, check the shop for me, I'll be right back!"
"No problem, go ahead!"
The gold shop was not far from the restaurant. Wu Liang and Er Hu followed the boss and walked dozens of meters to get there.
Before entering the door, Erhu, who had been silent since just now, glanced at the shopkeeper who had already entered and finally said: "Brother, let's run!"
Snapped!
"Go away, you big-headed idiot! Idiot, wouldn't it be stupid for someone else to get such a big piece of gold for cheap?" Wu Liang knocked on Erhu's forehead. This idiot really thought it was fake.
This was the only way he could use the Taoist magic to turn stone into gold by using the only magic power he had. If he wasn't familiar with modern pawnshops and the like, Wu Liang would have used it to exchange money for himself.
As he said this, Wu Liang didn't care what Erhu's reaction was, he opened the door of the gold shop with a smile and walked in.
…
"It's pure gold, nine grams, Lao Chen, where did it come from?"
This gold shop is not big, and the owner and the owner of the restaurant are also old acquaintances. I saw him coming over with this gold ball and asked curiously.
The restaurant owner's face, which had been stern just now, suddenly burst into laughter. Hearing this, he explained with a smile: "It's not mine, it was brought by these two little brothers."
As he spoke, he pointed at Wu Liang and the two people who had just entered the door, and asked aloud: "Little brother, do you see?"
"Boss, do you want to accept it or not?" Wu Liang didn't want to waste any more words and asked directly.
The gold shop owner glanced at their outfits, then looked at the restaurant owner, then smiled and said, "Two thousand yuan, what do you think?"
Wu Liang narrowed his eyes. Two thousand yuan was a bit beyond his expectation. In fact, he didn't know the price of gold, but two thousand yuan was enough for a family to live comfortably in the mountains for a year. Wu Liang knew this.
.
But he was not a fool. He had seen this kind of bargaining a lot. He shook his head and said, "Three thousand, don't bully us mountain people."
"Little brother, I'm joking. Most of the people in Wuyi County are from the mountains. No matter what, you won't lie to your own family, right? You don't know, the price of gold has dropped so miserably. I still have to bear the burden of taking back only these two thousand yuan."
Risk, for three thousand, you might as well just kill me."
What the middle-aged, bald boss said was tragic, as if the two thousand gold balls recovered from Wu Liang were already a big loss.
"Two thousand and five!"
"Little brother, you are really embarrassing me. I won't tell you lies. The most is two thousand two thousand. If you don't believe me, go out and ask. If there is someone taller than me, I will give you five hundred more."
Wu Liang was not willing to waste that energy, and he didn't bother to worry about the hundreds of dollars. After a while, he took the more than 2,110 yuan and dragged the dull Erhu out of the gold shop.
As soon as he walked out of the store, he was hit by the cold wind, and Erhu, who was still sluggish just now, shivered and woke up.
"Brother, isn't this stolen?"
After scanning around vigilantly and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Erhu lowered his voice and asked in Wu Liang's ear.
"piss off!"
Another slap, Wu Liang found that he liked this feeling, it felt so good to slap Erhu.
Erhu, who felt aggrieved like a young daughter-in-law, muttered a few words in a low voice. After a while, he regained his energy and asked with a smile: "Brother, where did you get such a big gold?"
"Picked it up!"
"Really? Where did you pick it up? Brother, please tell me. I want to pick it up too."
"You picked it up in the cesspit of our house. You can go ahead."
"You didn't lie to me?"
"Are you leaving? If not, I'm leaving!"
"Oh, here it comes!" Erhu responded, but muttered: "Then I'll go back and have a look. Maybe I pulled that golden ball."
The voice reached Wu Liang's ears along the breeze. Immortal Wu's face was suddenly covered with black lines, and the dog's mouth couldn't spit out ivory!
