Chapter 2 Happy first meeting(1/2)
This handsome man is naturally the legendary thief Baiyu Tang. It can be said that his master was able to become the captain with the credit for capturing Ji Wuming, thanks to him.
If it weren't for his sudden rebellion, Ji Wuming was pointed at from behind, and with a bunch of chances and events behind him, Ji Wuming wouldn't have been blown up and wouldn't have been captured alive by his master.
However, when he thought of the relationship between him and his master and Zhanggui Tong, Xiao Liu couldn't help but silently observe three seconds of silence for his master.
"Master, Zhangguan Tong, who is this handsome guy?" Xiao Liu asked knowingly.
"Hey, this kid is so sweet-mouthed, just tell the truth." Lao Bai smiled happily when he heard Xiao Liu's words.
After all, everyone likes to listen to others praise him. As long as your praise is not too purposeful, it will generally not be offensive.
"His surname is Bai, and his name is Zhantang. He is from our store. You can call him Lao Bai or Brother Bai in the future." Zhangguan Tong introduced with a smile.
"This is a scholar, it is our store who settles the accounts, this is Xiao Bei." Zhangguin Tong then pointed at the scholar and the others and introduced the past to Xiao Liu one by one.
"Hello, Brother Xiucai, Xiaobei is so cute." Xiaoliu also asked hello one by one.
Xiao Liu's mouth was sweet, which made everyone laugh from ear to ear. In addition, everyone knew that he would be a constable in the town in the future, so there would definitely be interactions with each other in the future.
"Come on, come in quickly. Xiao Liuda has not had dinner yet, right? Then let's have a meal together, just treat us as we welcome you." Lao Bai hurriedly greeted him.
Xiao Liu was not polite either. First, because he had known these people for a long time and knew that they were good people. Second, because he had been traveling for a day, he was indeed a little hungry.
"Then I'm not polite, thank you everyone." Xiao Liu hurriedly followed Zhanggui Tong and Lao Bai and the others in.
Old Xing, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a little happy when Xiaoliu was fighting with the people from Tongfu Inn when he was so good at kung fu.
He was originally worried that Xiaoliu would be afraid of being a child and was difficult to take care of, but he didn't expect that Xiaoliu was so familiar.
Seeing that Xiao Liu had gone in for dinner, he hurriedly followed him in.
"Come on, come on, come on, come on all the good wine and food. Today I will welcome Xiaoliu." Old Xing shouted happily.
When he heard what he said, everyone at Tongfu Inn looked back at Lao Xing.
Zhanggui Tong smiled and said, "That's all right, scholar! This account will be recorded in Captain Xing's account."
"Hey, okay!" The scholar responded with a smile, while also handing out dishes to Xiaoliu.
“(⊙o⊙)…!”
When Old Xing heard what Zhanggui Tong said, he was stunned. He just said casually, but he didn't expect that Zhanggui Tong would actually slash down.
But Xiao Liu was right next to him. After all, it was the first day he took his apprentice, so he couldn't regret it, otherwise he would seem like a master.
Old Xing could only continue to pretend to be generous.
"Please all! Come on any good wine and food for me."
Old Xing's face was filled with depression.
Zhangguan Tong looked at Lao Xing's uncomfortable look and knew that he was not rich, so he said with a smile.
"Okay, just kidding. Today is our reception for Xiaoliu. If you want to wait for the next time."
Hearing Zhanggui Tong's words, Old Xing quickly turned cloudy and sunny.
"Hahahaha, thank you, Zhangguan Tong." Old Xing hurriedly smiled and clasped his fists and thanked him. His happy look was as if he had picked up a few hundred yuan on the road.
But it is understandable.
You should know that it is difficult to be a magnificent official these days. Don’t look at them wearing knives all day long, and they seem to be majestic, but in fact, their monthly salary is pitifully small.
Take Captain Xing as an example. His monthly salary is only three cents of silver every month. As the clerks at Tongfu Inn, Lao Bai and his team have two cents of silver every month, and they are the kind that includes food and accommodation.
And it should be noted that the wages of Tongfu Inn are already the lowest in the industry.
I won’t say much about the Yihong Building of Sai Diao Chan, which is used as a unit. Even the Qing Building of Jin Xiangyu is eight cents a month.
In contrast, you can imagine how difficult it is to Captain Xing. He is obviously doing the "most dangerous" work, but he can only barely live the money he earns.
However, Xiao Liu, the protagonist today, did not take all this at all, because his attention is now focused on the chicken legs in his hand.
I have to say that these chicken legs are really fragrant!
The meat is tender, full and chewy. Every bite is full of flavor, which is even more exciting than the Orleans roasted legs that you eat in a certain fast food.
Xiao Liu originally thought that when he came to this ancient times, he would have had a hard time eating, but he realized that it was not necessarily the case.
It was also his life that he had a better life. He traveled to the late Ming Dynasty. At this time, due to the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, a large number of seasonings such as pepper had already been introduced to China.
In addition, there was no distinction between native chickens in ancient times. All chickens were native chickens, and you didn’t have any chickens to eat feed chickens.
In addition, the chef's skills are also very good. The chicken legs alone are much better than those chefs.
However, Dazui's cooking skills are not good. But because it is not good, he only stir-fryed for those few dishes.
And those dishes are cooked every day and they have to be cooked for customers. After years of this year, even if the one who cooks is a pig, the water in those dishes should have reached the point of entering the room.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Everyone looked at Xiao Liu feasting in shock. His exaggerated appearance was like a starving ghost reincarnated, and he had not eaten for several days or nights.
Feeling the sudden silence of the atmosphere around him, Xiao Liu also noticed something was wrong.
Looking at the strange look of everyone looking at him, Xiao Liu quickly realized the rudeness. He quickly put down the chicken legs in the bowl and said embarrassedly.
"Sorry, I'm a little hungry. In addition, I've eaten so many delicious dishes for the first time, so I can't control myself. Didn't scare you?" Xiao Liu said apologetically.
Everyone looked at Xiao Liu's shy look and quickly laughed and broke the embarrassment.
"It's okay, it's okay. Today I'm just here to welcome you. Come on, eat more."
As they said that everyone saw that Xiao Liu likes to eat chicken legs, they even put chicken legs into his bowl.
Looking at everyone's enthusiastic appearance, Xiao Liu also felt the warmth, and he didn't feel hungry for a moment.
He looked at Xiao Bei, who was staring at a bunch of chicken legs in his bowl with a greedy face, and smiled and grabbed a big chicken leg into Xiao Bei's bowl.
"Come on, eat Xiaobei. You are the time to grow up now." Xiaoliu said gently.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoliu!" Xiaobei was so happy to see the big chicken legs in his bowl, and quickly smiled sweetly at Xiaoliu.
"Come on, let's eat together. If you don't have to take care of me like this, I can't eat so much by myself." Xiao Liu looked at the people surrounding him and said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, this dish has already..."
At this time, a man with a big waist and round waist came out of the kitchen with a bowl of winter melon soup. When he saw everyone surrounded by a strange boy, he was stunned.
"Come to Xiaoliu, let me introduce you. This is the chef here, Li Dazui." Zhangguin Tong smiled and introduced to Xiaoliu.
Xiaoliu quickly smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Big Mouth, Brother Big Mouth, the dishes you cook are so delicious. This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious dish."
Xiao Liu’s praise this time was sincere. It was the first time he had such a delicious dish. He had never eaten any five-star and three-star chefs before traveling through time, so now he counts the best dishes made by Dazui.
But it seems that his previous praise is true, the shopkeeper is beautiful and the old white is handsome!
"Hey, really?"
And I was so happy to hear Xiao Liu's big mouth, and I couldn't stop smiling.
Big Mouth is the kind of person who writes all his emotions on his face. Over the years, Xiao Liu praised his delicious food.
"Xiao Liu, just say this to you. Just tell me what else you want to eat, and I will cover it all with you."
Dazui is also a familiar person, and his skills to climb up the pole are even better than Xiaoliu.
"Then thank you Brother Big Mouth. Come on, Brother Big Mouth, you can sit down and eat too." Xiao Liu smiled at Big Mouth and quickly moved to the side.
Big Mouth sat down without hesitation. The others looked at Xiao Liu's polite appearance and smiled happily.
Next is another dinner with guests and guests.
Just when everyone was having fun, Old Xing secretly pulled the clothes of Zhangguan Tong and signaled her to take a step to speak.
Manager Tong looked at Lao Xing weirdly, but when he looked at the serious expression on his face, he nodded to him and walked with him to the door.
Lao Bai, who was standing aside, also noticed the secret actions of Lao Xing and the shopkeeper, and followed him quietly.
"What's wrong? Old Xing?" At the door, Zhangguan Tong looked at Old Xing with a serious face and asked in confusion.
Old Xing looked at Xiao Liu, who was having dinner happily with scholar, Xiao Bei, and big mouths in the lobby.
He leaned against Zhangguan Tong's ear and said quietly, and Lao Bai behind him also listened with his ears.
Lao Xing didn't care about Lao Bai either, because in his opinion, Zhanggui Tong and Lao Bai were both more reliable people.
"Ah! No way!" After hearing Old Xing's words, Zhangguan Tong showed a strange expression on his face, which was both heartache and pity.
Even Lao Bai was shocked.
Zhanggui Tong, Lao Bai, and Lao Xing all looked at Xiao Liu in the lobby who was happy with others.
"This is so pitiful. Xiaoliu has to experience these things at a young age." Zhanggui Tong whispered.
"Oh, who said no? So I brought Xiaoliu to serve as a constable this time. First, because the town is short of staff, County Magistrate Lou was urging me to do so. Second, I also hope that Xiaoliu can leave the sad place and change the place. Maybe he will feel better."
Old Xing shook his head helplessly.
"Old Xing, don't be too sad. You are also doing this for Xiaoliu's good. I believe that Xiaoliu will definitely find the feeling of home again with you," the shopkeeper quickly comforted.
However, as she spoke, the shopkeeper couldn't help but cry. She couldn't help but think of the tragic encounter between herself and Xiao Bei.
"What are you doing? Don't be heard by Xiaoliu. I think Xiaoliu is quite strong." Seeing that the two of them were about to cry, Lao Bai quickly reminded him in a low voice.
