Chapter 20 Jinya Restaurant
To be honest, Xue Chang, who had just come to this world from a comfortable city life, doesn't want to experience the pain of lying on the ground in a mountain temple again, but thinking that there is still several days left to Chengdu, and he doesn't have enough money in his hand, he decided to feel wronged again: "That's OK."
So, Xu Xi took Xue Chang eastward. As soon as he turned around a street, a figure suddenly came into his eyes. He subconsciously pulled Xue Chang to hide in the corner.
Before Xue Chang understood what was going on, she heard Xu Xi whisper in his ear: "Master, it's that Tang... Hero of Tang!"
Xue Chang's heart was slightly shocked, and he hurriedly peeked out the corner of the wall. Sure enough, he saw Tang Fangzhuo and his disciples standing in front of a shop, and the same fat man was saying something. Soon, Tang Fangzhuo bowed goodbye to the fat man. At the moment of turning around, his sharp eyes shot directly at the corner of the street where Xue Chang was.
Oops, I was discovered!... Xue Chang suddenly became nervous.
However, Tang Fangzhuo did not go straight to him, but instead took his disciples to leave in the other direction, and disappeared in a short while.
Xue Chang breathed a long sigh, nervousness faded, and curiosity arose again: Who is the fat man who was talking to Tang Fangzhuo? He seemed to be familiar with him.
Just as he was thinking, Xu Xi said on the side: "Master, I know the person who talks to Tang Daxia. His name is Geng Po, an old resident in the town. Everyone calls him Fatty Geng. In front of him is a restaurant he runs. Everyone says that he cooks well, but there are not many customers. Because he has a bad temper, I heard that several customers were injured a long time ago, so we used to go around here, but I didn't expect that this fat man actually met Tang Daxia!"
Xu Xi said in surprise, suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, there is a strange rule in his restaurant. If anyone can make delicious dishes that he can't cook, he can eat them for free in his restaurant for one month."
When Xue Chang heard this, he felt aroused in his heart and asked, "Has anyone done it before?"
"It should be..." Xu Xi scratched his head uncertainly.
"Go over and take a look." After Xue Chang said that, he walked out of the corner of the street, and Xu Xi followed him closely.
Before he could reach the door of the restaurant, Xue Chang saw clearly the words in the plaque hanging on the lintel - Jinya.
A restaurant named Jinya is a bit weird... But Xue Chang imagined that Tang Fangzhuo was nicknamed Caiyi Divine Arrow, and it seemed that the owner of the shop really had a great relationship with him.
When he arrived at the door of the store, Xue Chang looked in cautiously: there were four dining tables in the store, only one person was dining, and the fat man I saw before was gone. Compared with the lively restaurants on the street on the official road, this place was too deserted.
"Hey, beggars, don't stand at my doorstep, it will affect the guests' appetite. Go quickly! Go quickly!" With this crisp sound, a girl ran down from the upper floor quickly. She looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a slim figure and pretty face.
She left the door, came to Xue Chang, put her hands on her waist, and made a storm to drive away people.
Although the little girl was a little hurtful when she spoke, when she thought that the owner of the shop was familiar with the colorful arrow with amazing martial arts skills, Xue Chang did not dare to do anything, so she pulled Xu Xi and turned around and left.
The girl suddenly shouted loudly: "You two are waiting for me!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran to the store. Soon she ran back and stuffed Xue Chang and Xu Yi a big steamed bun each: "Hey, take it for food. Just this time, I will use a broom to beat you out with a broom! She is young, has hands and feet, doesn't work well, and she has to rely on begging for food and has no future!"
The girl taught her a lesson quickly, and then looked at the little wolf who was held in Xu Xi's arms. She couldn't help but scold her, "I can't even raise myself, I still have to raise a dog." Then she ran back to the store quickly, without giving Xue Chang a chance to explain.
He was slapped in the face!... Xue Chang pinched the steamed bun in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and said to Xu Xi, who was staring at the restaurant and slightly angry, "Although this little girl is a little mean, she is pretty good-hearted. At least she doesn't have to eat dry jerky tonight. Let's go quickly, it's getting dark."
…………………………………………………………………………………………
There is a river temple in the south of Longmen Town. It was flooded during the plum rainy season two years ago due to the surge in the river water. After the river water receded, the residents of the town regarded it as unlucky, abandoned it and chose another place to rebuild it. This abandoned river temple soon became a habitat for beggars.
Looking at the familiar dilapidated temple in front of him, he heard the noise coming from inside. Xue Chang, who was thinking about how to use the system in his body to improve his force as soon as possible, flashed a vague memory in his mind, which made him suddenly have an idea, so he pulled Xu Xi over and whispered to him.
After a while, Xu Xi supported Xue Chang, who was staring in a daze and staggering manner, and pushed open the empty temple gate.
There were eight or nine beggars sitting and lying in the temple, some old or young, and very few young and middle-aged people. It has only been 40 years since the Great Zhou Dynasty started. It is a period of rising national strength. The people are relatively rich, and there are not many unemployed people. There are laborers and those who are willing to work can have food to eat. Therefore, there are very few refugees and not many beggars. Because of the prosperity and lively trade in Longmen Town, it attracts beggars from surrounding areas to beg, which makes it particularly large.
These beggars were bragging about the interesting things about begging during the day. When they heard the sound of the door, they turned around.
After seeing clearly, the people who came in were Xue Chang and Xu Xi. A middle-aged beggar stood up first and said in a gloomy tone: "Oh, who do I think it is? It turns out that it is you two. Xiaogan Chaibang (Xu Xi's nickname among beggars). I heard that you didn't take your bodyguard to another place? Why are you back again!"
Xu Xi lowered her head and said calmly: "It's not as good as here outside, so we're back."
The beggar looked at Xu Xi, then looked at Xue Chang carefully, and asked casually: "Is this stupid boy's fever cured?"
"Okay...Okay." Xu Xi replied with a flashing look on his eyes.
"Oh?" the beggar smiled sinisterly and walked to Xue Chang.
Xue Chang gasped and looked at him without any hesitation.
But his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly reached out and pushed Xue Chang's chest.
Xue Chang took several steps back and sat down on the ground.
"Master... I'm stupid!" Xu Xi hurried over and wanted to pull him up.
Even with Xu Xi's help, Xue Chang tried hard to stand up, but failed several times. Instead, his breathing became more rapid and his face turned red.
"What a fool, I think it's not going to be better!" The beggar was ecstatic at first, then glared at Xu Xi, and said viciously: "Little Dried Vegetable Stick, you relied on this stupid boy some time ago, and you even asked him to come and beat me. Today we have to calculate the account!"
Xu Xi was so scared that she was trembling all over and couldn't speak.
"Why are you all standing there? Let me go up and beat them hard! Beat them half to death and throw them into the river to feed the fish!" the beggar shouted sternly.
The other beggars dared not to follow and rushed forward in a swarm.
"Ao!" The little wolf, who was originally placed outside the temple by Xu Xi, suddenly rushed in, blocked Xue Chang's side, and roared at the beggars with grin, which scared them.
When they saw clearly that it was a puppy rushing in front of them, a beggar kicked it in anger.
Xue Chang, who was originally slumped on the ground, quickly stretched out his left leg and accurately hooked the beggar's kicking leg. He immediately hooked the beggar to the ground.
Then he quickly stood up, and his originally godless eyes suddenly became shiny, sweeping towards the beggars surrounding him.
The beggars subconsciously retreated, and the middle-aged beggar behind them was so angry that they cursed: "It's useless, what's the scary thing about a fool who is seriously ill! They rushed up and beat me hard! Whoever dared not take action, don't think about eating tomorrow!"
His threat forced the beggars to rush up again, but they were all easily knocked to the ground by Xue Chang.
Amid the moans, Xue Chang waved contemptuously to the middle-aged beggar: "Come on, come on, Boss Wei, use your eighteen dragon-subduing palms and dog-beating sticks, let's make a move."
