Xiao Shi's trivia

The master and apprentice were chatting and walking in a very good relationship, completely forgetting that there was another person behind them.And the one who was forgotten was none other than the butler of the scholar's mansion.

The butler sighed faintly, then looked down at the rooster in his left hand, the candied haws in his right hand, and various snacks and gadgets hanging on his neck and arms, looking quite helpless.Who would have thought that the majestic king of a country and the current academician would be interested in these children's things.

Just when the butler was secretly worried about the future of his country, he looked up and saw his master shamelessly snatching the bag of nuts from the little emperor and eating them.In an instant, the butler felt that it was really embarrassing to have such a master!

"I said, little pig, when you go back to the palace, remember to reimburse today's expenses to my master!" Xiao Dashi said after shelling the last nut and putting it into his mouth, patting a certain child on the shoulder.

"Huh?" The little emperor looked at his wife in astonishment.

Master Xiao raised the things in his hands, then pointed back at the things in the butler's hands: "You see, these things cost money, and I am a clean official, my monthly salary is still a whole month. The expenses of the scholar's mansion, so..." He didn't say any more, but showed a pitiful look.

After hearing this, the little emperor blinked his eyes and looked at Xiao Dashi: "Master, you mean you are poor?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." He nodded fiercely like a chicken pecking at rice.

"But I remember last time, Master, you sold a picture of your characters for a few hundred taels?" The little emperor scratched his hair and recalled.

Let me see how round you are now?The butler looked at his master's back with contempt.It's okay to be stingy on weekdays, but now he even has to reimburse his student the emperor for a few dollars.Really worthy of being the ancestor of stingy.

"Is there? Is there such a thing?" Senior Bachelor Xiao looked at the little emperor with an expression of 'I don't know'.

"En!" The little emperor nodded with certainty.

"Aren, have my calligraphy been sold for a few hundred taels?" In order to prove his innocence, Master Xiao turned around and asked the housekeeper.

"Cough..." The housekeeper couldn't help but coughed lightly when his eyes collided with Senior Scholar Xiao, and then stepped forward and replied calmly: "There is no such thing, sir."

"Did you hear that!" Senior Bachelor Xiao was quite satisfied with the butler's performance.

"Ah?" The little emperor's face blushed immediately when he heard that, "That's because the student made a mistake, I hope the master will not be angry."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Someone forgave generously.

The housekeeper behind him almost fainted when he saw the scene of the two loving each other. How could a simple little white rabbit not suffer when he met a cunning and pretending to be pitiful fox?In fact, what he said just now was not complete. His master's calligraphy has indeed never been sold for a few hundred taels, because it has always been priced at a thousand taels.

The three of them wandered on the street, and finally arrived at their destination before lunch - Zuixiangju.

Zuixiangju is the largest restaurant in the capital. Whether it is the dishes of Hayworth or fine wine, once you taste it, it will make you linger and leave a deep impression.Coupled with the unique and exquisite decoration, it has ushered in more customers.

However, to be honest, the above is actually just floating clouds. The main reason why Zuixiangju can take root here and stand still is its big boss behind the scenes-the seventeenth emperor's uncle Zhu Luoyu.

"Inside the three..." The waiter could see what the three of them were carrying before he could say the word 'please': "What do you guys mean? We don't accept ingredients at Zuixiangju." If it wasn't for the waiter Seeing it with his own eyes, he really couldn't imagine that the well-dressed people in front of him came here to sell ingredients.

Selling ingredients doesn't really matter, anyway, Zuixiangju needs a lot every day.But...the shop waiter took another look at the three people in front of him, a bunch of peppers, a bunch of garlic, a few eggplants...the best thing is the big rooster in the third person's hand...

"Isn't this a place to eat?" The little emperor blinked his eyes and his face was full of innocence.

"I don't think it should be." Master Xiao shook his head: "Otherwise, why wouldn't he let us in?" Pointing to the waiter in the shop.

"But Uncle Seventeen brought me here last time!" The little emperor scratched his head in confusion.

"Oh, that's it... Then it's because the business is not good and they changed their careers." Senior Madam Xiao guessed.

"Nonsense, the business of our Zuixiang Building has always been the best." The waiter corrected him unconvinced.His expression and tone are quite dignified, as if this Zuixianglou is opened by his family.

"Then why don't you let me go in and order food?" The little emperor was even more puzzled.

"I think he is afraid that we have no money." The butler stepped forward and said in a soft voice between the two of them.

"Ah!" Unexpectedly, Master Xiao immediately yelled: "How do you know that we won't pay if we eat it?" The excitement is beyond words!He didn't expect the waiter in Zuixianglou to be so smart.

At this moment, the corner of the waiter's mouth twitched involuntarily, and black lines appeared on his face.

"Ah Ren, what's wrong with him? Why did his face turn black all of a sudden as if he had been poisoned?" Senior Maester Xiao asked his butler humbly.

"Master, it's not poisoning, but this little second brother has a unique skill." The housekeeper explained.

"Possesses special skills?" The little emperor became interested when he heard it: "Are you saying that he is a person with kung fu?" Tilting his little head, he looked at the waiter with great interest.

"Yes, master." The butler nodded.

"Ah Ren, then tell me what kind of kung fu is this little brother?" Dashi Xiao played with the chili and garlic in his hand.

"Changing face." As soon as the butler finished speaking, the waiter's face became even more ugly: "This skill is called changing face."

"Oh!"

"Ok!"

The little emperor and the senior scholar Xiao nodded in unison.

No matter how stupid the butler is, he would have already understood the meaning of what the butler said, not to mention that the person in front of him is a waiter who shuttles between all kinds of customers all day long!

"Could it be possible that the guest officials came to our Zuixiangju to make trouble today?" The waiter at the shop was no longer the kind and warm hospitality at this moment.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the waiter in the shop called someone to deal with the senior scholar Xiao, the shopkeeper happened to come out.

"Shopkeeper, you see that they are clearly here to make trouble, and they blatantly said that they want to eat Bawang's meal at our Zuixiangju." Seeing his shopkeeper approaching, the waiter immediately went up to greet him and said.

"Oh? I want to see who is so courageous?" The shopkeeper said and looked at the door: "What kind of eyes are you looking at?" Then he gave the shop waiter a mark on the head in public: "Several distinguished guests are really Excuse me, hurry up, please come to the private room—"

"The older ones are more sensible, and they know the principle of customer first!" Seeing the shopkeeper's respectful attitude, our Bachelor Xiao praised quite satisfied.
