Seeing Lei Wujie who only ordered a bowl of plain noodles for five cents, Xiao Se called the waiter and said loudly:
"Give this young hero the toughest dish and the best wine in the store!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Wujie immediately waved his hand, shook his head crazily, and said:
"No, no, no, I just want a bowl of Yangchun noodles. It's too much and I don't have the money to pay for it!"
Looking at Lei Wujie, who was a bit stupid, Xiao Se couldn't help but feel a little emotional. At this glance, he knew that he was a young boy who had just come out of the world. He had never experienced severe beatings from society. If this kind of guy enters the world without a more reliable guy,
Otherwise, I don’t know how many times I will die.
Xiao Se said:
"Hey, as the saying goes, if you are happy in life, you must have all the fun. When you are alive, you should enjoy it. No matter how much money you have, how can you be happy? To be honest, my surname is Xiao, and I am the owner of this store. I watch the young hero
He must have an extraordinary family background and is willing to make friends with you because of his majestic appearance. Please give me some sympathy, young hero."
At this moment, Xiao Se was wearing gorgeous clothes and looked like a rich man. He didn't look like a rich man. He thought to himself:
"I have met a good person. I actually met someone to treat me to a guest in this country inn? I have to make good friends with him!"
When Lei Wujie was being fooled into confusion by Xiao Chuhe, the waiter had already brought the wine and food to him, and even filled them for him himself.
Xiao Se raised one of the wine glasses and said:
"This is the famous Fenghuaxueyue wine in the world. Come on, Mr. Lei, cheers!"
Lei Wujie happily picked up his wine glass and drank with Xiao Se.
After a long time, Lei Wujie touched his bloated belly with satisfaction, picked at the gap between his teeth, looked at Lao Gao's plates stacked in front of him, burped, and was about to clasp his fists in thanks. Unexpectedly, Xiao Se spoke first.
Got:
"Did Young Master Lei enjoy this meal?"
Lei Wujie smiled, obviously very satisfied with the food and drinks this time. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had such a good meal. After coming out of Leijiapu, he saw the poor beggars on the roadside and wiped out his clothes.
He paid all the money to the other party. When he found out that the other party was a liar, he felt sad for a while. He thought the world was dangerous, but he didn't expect to meet kind-hearted people. There were indeed many good people in this world.
"Yeah, the cooks here are really good, and the wine is good..."
But when he saw the other party take out the abacus very skillfully, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and Xiao Se's words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"A pot of wine is five taels, braised fish is one tael, five-spice beef is two taels... Young knight, the total is fourteen taels and three cents, plus a small change, the total is fifteen taels of silver. I don't know if you are cash or silver."
ticket?"
Xiao Se said the cruelest things to Lei Wujie with a smile.
Lei Wujie: "...Um, Boss Xiao, didn't you say you were the host? Why do you still need to collect money?"
Xiao Se shook his head and said with a smile:
"When did I say that I wanted to be a host? I just said that I wanted to make friends with the young hero. I didn't say that I wanted to be a host? You must have heard wrong. This is a small business and I have few customers. Otherwise,
I can't drive anymore. If you don't want to pay, young hero, you can just stay and wash dishes and pay off the debt. I'll give you one tael of silver a month, including food and accommodation!"
"But these fifteen taels are too much. How can anyone do business and pay the change upwards? Besides, you also drank the wine? You guys are obviously a shady shop!"
Xiao Se said:
"Don't talk nonsense. Our store operates with integrity and has been awarded an honorary title by the government. The prices are clearly marked and there are purchase receipts. The reason why we charge you seven yuan more is because we also provide storytellers and singing programs.
The price is already very reasonable.
Besides, I am the boss, I will accompany you to drink in person, and I will confiscate your service fee. How dare you ask me to pay for it? When you invite the girl in the flower house to drink, do you also ask the girl to pay for you? "
Lei Wujie's expression at this time was as if he was constipated. He finally knew what the dangers of the world were. How could a simple young man who was just starting out be able to fight against the old fox in front of him? He said aggrievedly:
"But I haven't seen any storytelling or music-listening programs, either?"
Xiao Se, on the other hand, said emphatically:
"We provided it, you just didn't order it!"
Lei Wujie was completely confused at this time. Even the waiter at the side wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Is this what the shopkeeper said in human language? If everyone does business like this, then this store will close down sooner or later!
At this moment, several big men with murderous weapons and fierce looks walked in. It was obvious at first glance that they were not good people, and they were not from the local area.
The local gangsters and thieves did not dare to come to this inn. As soon as they came in, several big men asked for good wine and food, and they had no intention of paying.
Seeing this situation, Lei Wujie immediately became energetic. Wouldn't this opportunity for him to act chivalrously come? As long as he gets rid of these bullies in front of him, this black-hearted boss will definitely be grateful to him, and maybe even...
I will give myself some travel expenses. I have been practicing martial arts for so long and I am already eager to try it.
But just as he was about to stand up, he was held down by Xiao Se. The black-hearted boss said:
"Also, our store also provides security services for customers to ensure their safety. This is free of charge, so you make money."
Soon, Lei Wujie knew why this tavern was awarded a banner by the government. Suddenly, a strong man rushed out of the store and beat the bullies until their noses were bruised and swollen with ropes.
Tied into a ball.
Xiao Se said:
"His name is Lao Meng. He used to be a gangster, but now he is the nurse of our inn. But don't worry, as long as you pay him obediently, we won't make things difficult for you!"
This old man was his younger brother when he was traveling around the world. He avenged him, so he followed him all the time.
Lao Meng, send these people to the government tomorrow to see if there is any silver reward, and if so, use it to treat the brothers to a drink."
The strong man named Lao Meng grinned and pulled the bullies away.
In the end, Lei Wujie, who knew he was in the wrong, could only admit the debt with tears, and agreed to go to Xueyue City with Xiao Chuhe to collect the debt, during which he had to act as a bodyguard and groom.
"Boy, don't be sad. I'm here to teach you a lesson. You must know that the world is dangerous. You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Today you only lost fifteen taels of silver. As long as
If you learn this lesson, you may be able to save your life in the future. Besides, you will be a hero in the future, so what does it matter if you only have fifteen taels of silver?"
As soon as these words came out, Lei Wujie, who had just been beaten by frost, his eyes shone again.
"Yes, I, Lei Wujie, will be a swordsman in the future. I only have fifteen taels of silver, so what does it matter? Xiao Se, you are right, thank you!"
Xiao Se said:
"I would like to add by the way, the interest rate for fifteen taels of silver is one cent per day. If we can get to Xueyue City in one month, the interest rate will be ninety-three taels, and if we arrive in two months, it will be three hundred and seventy taels."
, if three months is up, it will be..."
Lei Wujie:
"I... believed in your lies, Xiao Se, you are a big profiteer!"
Amidst the bleak laughter, the two drove the carriage and left Youjian Inn, embarking on a new journey of the world.
