Nanyang County is located in the northwest of Dengzhou, with mountains, rivers and plains. It is rich in products and has a long history. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.
However, since the rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, the war-torn Nanyang County has been reduced to a small county with collapsed walls and a sparse population.
At noon on this day, the Guike Building, located opposite the Nanyang County Government Office, was already full of diners who came to have lunch. Wang Dakui, the shopkeeper of the Guike Building, was the brother of the famous Wang Eryaoshi of the County Government. He opened this restaurant
The Guike Restaurant has been operating for more than 20 years.
Although Wang Dakui's name sounds silly, he is actually extremely shrewd. He relied on his younger brother to work as a bailiff in the county government. He opened a restaurant here and made a lot of money. In addition to the bonus money sent to his younger brother over the years, he can
He really saved a lot of money.
The guest building is divided into two floors. There are more than fifty tables in the lobby below. Most of the people who come to eat are some regular customers from the neighborhood, as well as companions from the Yamen, and some merchants traveling from north to south.
The second floor is a private dining room with thirty single rooms. Most of them are well-known people who go up to eat. Also, if someone has a lawsuit and has to go to the government office to take care of things, they will have to invite some government officials to the private dining room in the guest building.
The county magistrate can't invite us to have dinner with the superintendent, the six chiefs, and the like.
It is said that the current county magistrate was personally appointed by the imperial court, and he is extremely shrewd. If you want to ask him to do something, you have to send money to the government office. The county magistrate will never come to a restaurant to eat, leaving no excuse for others.
.
Shopkeeper Wang is currently lying leisurely on a large rocking chair. Next to the rocking chair is a brazier with a charcoal fire. He is holding a fine purple clay pot in his hand. The brew in the pot is said to have been given to Mr. Wang by the county magistrate.
The water temperature in the purple clay pot of Si's Capital Tribute Tea was just right. Shopkeeper Wang took a sip from the spout and narrowed his eyes with a look of enjoyment.
I, Wang Dakui, can also enjoy the tea that the emperor drank, and my life has not been in vain. Wang Dakui sipped the tribute tea with pride and began to think about the tasks assigned to him by his second brother the day before yesterday.
According to Wang Er'an, the current county magistrate was originally a capital official in the capital. This time he came down to develop his qualifications. As long as he stayed for two years and was transferred back, he would immediately become a member of the imperial court.
It is strange to say that the county magistrate, who is nearly thirty years old, took office alone. Apart from a few domestic servants, he did not even have any female relatives with him.
Second Escort Wang was thinking that people of this age, apart from money, might love beauty more than anything. Second Escort Wang had big ambitions, and he didn’t want to spend his whole life as an escort in this small, remote county.
Si. Since this man came from the capital to gain qualifications, he will definitely return to the capital in the future. If he is currying favor with him, he will not be forced to pull himself up and promote himself to work in the capital. I don’t know how much better it is than here.
So Wang Ersuo would bring some beautiful women to the county government office every now and then. Unfortunately, the county magistrate invited them all out politely, and he didn't look down on any of them.
The Second Escort Wang was confused and muttered, could it be that the women he had found were not to the taste of the county magistrate? Or was it that the county magistrate disliked them because they were not good-looking and looked down upon them?
In this case, the eldest brother Wang Dakui runs the largest restaurant in the county opposite the county government office. There are many merchants traveling to and from Nanyang, so he thought about letting his eldest brother keep an eye on him. Among the guests who come and go, there is that beautiful girl.
When a woman comes to a restaurant to eat, it doesn't matter whether she has an official or not. She immediately reports it to the county government office, so that Wang Er, the supervisor, can come and take it to flatter the county magistrate.
Shopkeeper Wang Da was just sipping the tribute tea leisurely while squinting at the guests in the lobby and the passers-by on the street. He shook his head and said: "Tsk, tsk, this doesn't work. He looks like Zhou Zheng, but it's a pity that he looks so long."
The one is too fat, um, that one is okay, but it’s a pity that it’s a bit too small, and I don’t know if the county magistrate is good at it..."
"Shopkeeper, prepare a table of good food for us and two good guest rooms. We will rest here tonight so that we can go on our way tomorrow."
Just as Shopkeeper Wang narrowed his eyes and commented on the women walking on the street, a very burly man led a mule and horse to the downstairs gate of the guest building, and shouted like thunder at the top of his voice.
.
"Brother, let's stay here tonight. After lunch, we will go to the market in the afternoon to see if we can buy horses. I am almost exhausted from riding this thing every day."
The big man turned his head and shouted to the people behind him.
Shopkeeper Wang Da had already stood up. He originally planned to call this scary-looking man inside, but his eyes followed the big man and turned his head and looked over.
Seeing this, shopkeeper Wang almost stared out of his eyes. Oh my god, there are such handsome women in the world, and there are two of them at once! Comparing my wife with others, they are so beautiful.
Even toads don't count.
Shopkeeper Wang stared at Ma Shiyu and Yuan Jiyao with old eyes, but Ma Benlei was not happy. Your grandma's old man is already very old, but he still stares at other girls lustfully. One of them is his own.
Sister, one is the wife he has just conquered, and no one will be allowed to be blasphemed by this old man.
"Hey, shopkeeper, what are you looking at? Did you hear what I told you?" Ma Benlei frowned and pushed shopkeeper Wang Da.
Shopkeeper Wang was just an ordinary citizen. His body and bones could not withstand Ma Benlei's push. He fell into the gate and the purple clay pot fell far away and shattered on the ground.
Shopkeeper Wang screamed like a pig, and three or four big-bodied guys jumped out, helped shopkeeper Wang up, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, what's wrong? Who dares to touch you, old man!"
After Shopkeeper Wang stood up, Kang Long and four other people also entered the lobby. As soon as the two daughters Ma Shiyu and Yuan Jiyao entered, they immediately heard a low voice of praise. The two women frowned and looked unhappy.
In fact, along the way, the two of them received such attention and courtesy. In the past, the two women might have put on men's clothes to avoid such trouble, but this time, for some reason, the two women just didn't want to change into men's clothes.
Men's.
Kang Long and Ma Benlei didn't pay much attention to it and let them go on the road dressed in women's clothes. Although there were occasional troubles on the road, they couldn't resist the power of the two. Ma Benlei alone would make those who wanted to take advantage
The guy was crying for his father and mother, and was pissed off.
Shopkeeper Wang was still thinking about how to find a reason to get these two women to the Yamen. Well, he happened to be pushed by Ma Benlei and fell down. He immediately covered his waist and screamed.
Lianlian pointed at Ma Benlei and the two women behind him and said: "My waist is broken, it's broken. Get them and go to the official to reason!"
