Chai Yan also took a walk and wandered around on his way back. He soon had a rough understanding of Tianjia Village.
Although this place is still a village, it is developing into a town. However, it will take a lot of development time to truly reach the scale of a town.
When he returned to Jiangji Inn, Chai Yan had an extra basket in his hand. He bought it after passing by a pancake shop just now and the smell attracted him to it.
"Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun are here to eat scones, freshly baked!"
Chai Yan started shouting as soon as he entered the inn door.
But the only one who came out was Boss Jiang. He said with a smile on his face: "Master Chai, you are back..."
Chai Yan put the fragrant basket on the table and asked, "Boss, how many are there?"
Boss Jiang said: "My lord, after you went out, Chief Hang also went out. As soon as Chief Hang left, Fourth Master Cheng and Fifth Master Guan also went out. However, the Second Master came back later and is now in the backyard.
Feeding the horses..."
"Oh, I got it." Chai Yan responded, thinking that Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun must have gone out to keep an eye on Hang Baiqiu.
Chai Yan couldn't help but pause when he thought of this. Could it be that Hang Baiqiu really got angry and went to the mountains?
After thinking about it, Chai Yan shook his head again. It was okay. With Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun staring at her, Hang Baiqiu would not leave so easily.
When Boss Jiang saw that Chai Yan was silent, he asked, "Master Chai, why don't you sit down for a while while I make you a pot of tea..."
"Yeah, that's fine..." Chai Yan nodded. He was tired from walking all the way just now. He just happened to have some tea and some cakes now.
Boss Jiang was about to turn around and walk away when Chai Yan suddenly stopped him, then raised his hand and threw him a small bag of tea leaves, saying: "Make this tea."
Boss Jiang opened the tea paper bag and smelled it, and said in surprise: "Master Chai, this is the best Jiuzi tea!"
"Hey!" Chai Yan was a little surprised and said happily: "Boss, you are quite knowledgeable!"
Boss Jiang smiled and said: "Master Chai is laughing at me. Seven or eight years ago, my family was growing Jiuzi tea. Then one year, a terrible natural disaster happened and all the tea fields that I worked so hard to plant were destroyed."
Okay, that blow was really traumatic for me. Later, I borrowed some money and opened a small inn here, and I finally recovered."
After hearing this, Chai Yan said with emotion: "Boss Jiang, it's not easy for you too!"
Boss Jiang smiled sheepishly, waved his hand, and went to the kitchen with the tea.
Chai Yan also sat down at the table, took out a piece of hot scone from the basket, and began to eat happily.
Just after taking two bites, someone came outside the door.
"Boss, stay at the hotel!"
The man shouted outside the door, and when the voice fell, he was already standing not far from Chai Yan.
Chai Yan was sitting and eating cakes. When he heard the sound, he looked up and the eyes of the people who followed him met.
The visitor was immediately surprised: "Is it you?"
Chai Yan was also stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
The man who came into the inn was Hong Biao whom Chai Yan had met in Hukou Town, the rough man who was with Diewu girl.
Hong Biao looked at Chai Yan blankly and asked unkindly: "Why are you here?"
Chai Yan was so happy that he took a bite of the cake and asked, "Why can't I be here?"
Hong Biao's face darkened, and his voice became louder as he said, "I'm asking you a question, but who told you to ask me?"
"You can ask me, but can't I ask you?" Chai Yan suddenly got into a fight with Hong Biao.
Hong Biao did not continue to quarrel with Chai Yan, so he shouted loudly: "Boss, stay at the hotel!"
But Boss Jiang seemed to be busy in the kitchen and didn't hear Hong Biao's voice, so he didn't come out for a long time.
Chai Yan thought Hong Biao's voice was too noisy, so he frowned and said, "Okay, okay, stop barking! Just a reminder, this hotel is already full, go and ask elsewhere!"
How could Hong Biao believe Chai Yan's words? After hearing this, he thought that Chai Yan wanted to trick him into leaving.
Hong Biao said: "You said it is full when it is full? There is no one here. Will I believe your lies?"
Chai Yan immediately said: "Hey! Why are you scolding people? Am I not a human being? A living person, okay..."
Hong Biao was immediately happy. In fact, he himself did not expect that his words also meant that he was not a human being.
Chai Yan finished the last bite of the cake, patted the crumbs on his hand, and said to Hong Biao: "Let me tell you, this inn has been booked by me, and there are no rooms left. While it's still dark, hurry up and ask elsewhere.
Come on, don’t waste time here!”
Hong Biao still didn't believe it and continued to walk inside, shouting for the boss with a louder voice.
Finally, Boss Jiang in the kitchen heard Hong Biao's voice and ran out in a hurry.
Hong Biao shouted: "Boss, stay at the hotel!"
After Hong Biao finished speaking, he glanced at Chai Yan and thought to himself, you don't want me to live here, so I just want to live here!
Boss Jiang said politely: "I'm sorry, sir, our store is fully booked and there are no free rooms..."
Hong Biao paused, pointed at the store and said, "There's no one here. Do you think it's full?"
Boss Jiang nodded and said, "Sir, the other guests have gone out and will be back soon."
Hong Biao was a little unwilling and said: "Boss, I am willing to pay three times the rent, as long as you find a way to get me a room, how about it?"
Boss Jiang was puzzled: "Sir, the shop has actually been taken over by this boss..."
At this point, Boss Jiang suddenly noticed that Chai Yan over there was shaking his head and winking at him.
Boss Jiang understood the meaning instantly and hurriedly changed his words: "Oh, I was... booked by this uncle. You'd better go to another house and ask..."
"Did you hear that? I've told you before, but you don't believe it!" Chai Yan said lukewarmly from the side.
Hong Biao was very unhappy and immediately asked his boss: "How much money did he give you? I will give you ten times...no, twenty times!"
With that said, Hong Biao took out a round and flat golden stone from the baggage behind his back. It should weigh about five or six taels by visual inspection.
Hong Biao slapped the golden stone into Boss Jiang's hand and said generously: "As long as you kick this guy out, all this gold will be yours, how about that?"
"Gold?" Boss Jiang was stunned, then he picked up the gold and looked at it, but there was a lot of doubt on his face.
Seeing that Boss Jiang didn't believe it, Hong Biao became a little anxious and shouted: "Boss, don't you recognize gold? This is the best gold!"
Boss Jiang put the gold nugget in his mouth, bit it, and exclaimed: "Oh, it's really gold!"
"That's right!" Hong Biao immediately said proudly: "Hurry up and blow him away. This gold will be yours!"
Boss Jiang really wants to earn this gold, but with the identities of Chai Yan and others in front of him, and the relationship with Liu Hongxuan of Nanying, he has the heart but not the courage.
After Boss Jiang returned the gold to Hong Biao, he said with an apologetic smile: "Guest, guests are admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. In order to make more money, I drive away guests. I can't do this. Otherwise...you still have to do it."
Go to the store in front and ask."
Hong Biao couldn't believe this and immediately shouted: "Are you stupid? You don't even make money even if you have gold?"

PS: I would like to recommend the big movie "Luo Xiaohei Zhan Ji". I personally think it is very good. You can understand it even without watching the drama version. My daughter and I enjoyed watching it very much! The only drawback is that we stopped for almost half an hour during the movie.
The delay allowed us to catch up with the heavy rain...
