a tavern

"Huh?" Wen Cheng took out the letter paper, shook it off and unfolded it, waved his right hand lightly, signaling Li Fuquan to go back.A question came out of his mouth: "As far as the way of sending letters is concerned, it seems that the visitor is not kind! But I am a small businessman, how can I make enemies with others?" Wen Cheng didn't know why.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Qing Luo and Li Zhixiu unconsciously looked at each other with solemn expressions.

On the paper, the handwriting is delicate, only two short lines.Looking at the curious eyes of the three people around him, Wen Cheng read it aloud: "Wen Cheng, three days later, in the small forest in the east of the city, under the century-old pines, you can go to the appointment on time alone, otherwise..."

"It must be a prank!" Wen Cheng sat down and patted the paper on the table, disapprovingly: "Even if it's a trap, it's fine if I don't go there?"

"No!" The three of them stood in front of her one after another, denying it in unison, which shocked Wen Cheng and shrank his neck back.

"Lead the snake out of the hole", "The enemy is clear and we are dark", "All outflank", the three of you say something to each other, it seems that the rules are chaotic, but they are actually discussing countermeasures.

"Hey hey..." Seeing that the three of them were about to leave together, they discussed in a low voice what to prepare.Wen Cheng was in a hurry, facing their backs, he said loudly: "Isn't the restaurant reopening in three days? It's a delay! I want you to go, I won't go, it's just because I'm full and full!"

"Huh?" The three of them turned around in unison, their sharp eyes fixed on Wen Cheng.If the eyes were real, there would be no surprises on Wen Cheng, there would be a line of words: Say something again, let me see?

"You are twins?!" Knowing that they are outnumbered, Wen Cheng lowered his voice and muttered in a low voice, "Why are you moving so in unison? It's scary. Also, I won't go if I don't want to go, hum!" It's a pity that the voice is like a mosquito , beyond the distance of one foot, it is not within the audible range.Therefore, talking is equivalent to not saying, and the protest is invalid.Seeing that the three ignored them, Wen Cheng had no choice but to vent his anger on the letter paper in his hand and tear it into strips...

Wen Yi, Qing Luo, and Li Zhixiu's common consideration is: No matter who comes, soldiers will block them, water will cover them, so as to avoid future troubles.The enemy is in the dark and we are clear, which is the most dangerous situation. Now that the tortoise has stretched out its head, it is necessary to hold the tortoise firmly.

Chenshi, three days later, was the time when the restaurant was originally scheduled to open.The other party specially chose that time, and it seemed that they intended to sabotage the matter.If you don't keep the appointment, maybe you have other ways to make trouble.It's better to go to the morning to cut the weeds and root out the roots neatly, and open the business smoothly in the afternoon, with a slight change in time.And this change, no one can be notified.This leak should be because Wen Cheng and the others greeted people in advance in order to attract more people to come to the restaurant to join them.

In three days, if you count, there is still a lot of time.The three agreed to step on the spot and explore the wind first.If no suspicious person is found, then arrange some traps and traps so that those people will come and go.

The three of them found some useful things and set off.

The small forest in the east of the city can be reached in less than a moment after leaving the city. "Small forest" is just its name. In fact, the trees in the forest are tall, with branches and branches scattered in all directions, and the green buds have just emerged.If it is midsummer, the luxuriant branches and leaves will surely cover the sky and block out the sun.The terrain is still uneven, but it is a secluded place where "no one will come if you break your throat".When approaching the forest, Qing Luo waved her hand back to signal them not to act rashly, and said in a low voice, "I'll go in and have a look first!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the "catwalk" into the woods.The "cat walk" mentioned here is a kind of light work in martial arts that can be said to be lighter than a cat's footsteps.But it is called such a name, it should be mainly because the walking looks more like a cat.

Stepping on fallen leaves and branches, silently and fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.The other two people, carrying their burdens, bowed their waists and hid behind a tree trunk as thick as two people hugging each other, paying attention to the movement around them.

Here, Qing Luo used the lightness skill, while Li Zhixiu glanced at Wen Yi from time to time, but found that Wen Yi had an ordinary face.Wanting to ask a question, but afraid of making a sound, I startled the snake.However, my heart grew more and more appreciative of this little girl.Whether it's knowledgeable or good-natured, it's all very good.

After a while, "Cuckoo, Cuckoo..." came from the forest, a weird bird song.When Wen Yi and Li Zhixiu heard this, they quickly appeared and walked into the forest.It turned out that this ugly bird call was the secret signal they had agreed with Qingluo, indicating that no danger had been discovered and they could move on.

After a while, they found the century-old pines mentioned in the letter.At a glance, there are almost no other trees in the small area around Cangsong, only a few small green grass sprouts that have broken through the ground.The big tree is the king, absorbing most of the nearby nutrients, so this green pine is lush and lush.Of course, pine is one of the common evergreen tree species, but this one has a history of a hundred years, which is amazing.

The three circled the Cangsong several times, carefully observing the surrounding terrain.Then, according to Qing Luo's instructions, those who pick up stones pick up stones, those who look for thick wooden sticks look for thick wooden sticks, and use local materials to prepare for the trap arrangement later.

In the end, the three formed a circle, Qing Luo picked up a twig, and started to paint and draw on the ground, deducing the situation at that time, and made detailed arrangements, in order...

"It's not that the opponents are more simple-minded this time, or that we underestimated them, or that they have other plans?" Li Zhixiu was faintly worried, and always felt that something was wrong, how could someone act with such fanfare~ without making more preparations ?

Qing Luo pondered for a while, clenched his fists, and made a decision: "When the time comes, see what happens~!" His face was full of determination and fighting spirit.

Wen Yi quietly glanced at Qing Luo, it was completely different from usual.It's true that people have strengths and rulers have weaknesses. If it weren't for this critical moment, how could we see her so decisive and strong?Proficient in martial arts, organs, and strategies, he looks a bit like a master who has been fighting for a long time, and there is a faint sense of excitement?

After getting a good deal, the three of them went back to the town.For three days, everything will be as usual.On the first day, a few people went to Yiling City to do some shopping, and everything that should be prepared was basically ready; on the second day, the end-of-work wine was held, and the expansion of the restaurant was officially completed, and the artisans had a joyful feast; Three days...

On the third day, the real happy day came, at Chenshi in the morning, the opening ceremony was celebrated.The few people who had made an appointment in advance, almost all showed up on time to congratulate.However, some people soon discovered that this situation was not quite like opening a business.It aroused everyone's doubts: lion dance, firecrackers, gongs and drums, none of them, but the six lanterns flying in the wind at the door are not bad.

Before he could finish speaking, two handsome mistresses walked out of Fugui Restaurant and welcomed him into the shop.As soon as they entered the door, a group of people, even stunned by the scene in front of them, praised it.

The two shops are combined into one, and the house next door is used as a restaurant with the front yard and the back yard together. The space is more than twice as large, and the shape is three-legged.In addition, the roof of this house is already high, even if a second floor is constructed, the height still has no effect.The momentum is really good, Fugui Restaurant finally lives up to its name.

On the first floor, there are nine big red columns supporting the beams of the house.Fifteen sets of brand new brown camphor wood tables and chairs are neatly arranged.The counter is also renovated, not to mention the paint.There is also a sign at the back, with the name and price of each dish on it. Obviously, this is learned from Yiling's "Zuiyinglou".

"Tsk tsk tsk! Is this still the Fugui Restaurant?" The transformation from a small tavern to its current appearance has to be surprising.

Someone raised his head, turned his feet, and looked around: "In my opinion, Baiyun Tower is not as good as this place, right?" He was deeply shocked, mainly because of the huge disparity between the front and the back.

"What do you know? These are two different styles!" It seems that this person is a loyal customer of Baiyun Restaurant, but he is also very sure of Fugui Restaurant...

"Papa, papa!" The taller, handsome little girl stood on a small platform near the north wall, clapped her hands, and motioned for everyone to be quiet.When it was rebuilt, because it protruded a place the size of two tabletops, it couldn't be brought on the left and right, and it was completely cornered.

In the end, it was Wen Cheng who slapped his head and suggested a small table about half a foot high here.She has a thought: if the restaurant can be improved in the future, you can invite people to sing a little song, play the erhu, etc. This place is very good.

Waving his hands down, the little second brother smiled and said loudly: "Everyone listen to me, today, in order to thank you for your support all the time. Our Fugui Restaurant has specially made this arrangement, and we invite you to enjoy it completely for free. A reception provided by our Fugui Restaurant. In the late afternoon, the restaurant officially opened."

"First, wait for us to close the door first. For those who will come later, please forgive us for not entertaining. Only the seven guests present can enjoy it." He waved his hand and signaled another person to close the door.This move caused everyone to nod: I am really important.

"Second, please sit down for a while, and I will serve you the March new tea that has just arrived in our store later." They also listed one by one, and the preparation was good.

"Thirdly, after drinking tea, I invite everyone to enjoy calligraphy and painting on the second floor. Fourthly, I invite everyone to enjoy a meal at the Fugui Restaurant." After speaking, there was an immediate commotion below.

"Boss Xiao Wen is really nice, and he spends so much money." As soon as these words came out, it could be seen that some people were quite sure of Wen Cheng's character.

"I don't really believe in the pie falling from the sky!" Someone folded his arms and shook his head, looking cautious and suspicious.

"There has to be a reason, right?" If you don't want to make people feel sorry, this is eating and drinking.Honest people don't want to take advantage of that...

Hearing the content of the discussion below, the tall little second brother hurriedly added: "Let's, actually, just want the big guy to eat, drink, and have fun. Tell us about the goodness of Fugui Restaurant and recruit us. Get popular." Wiping off my sweat, I was a little apprehensive: I almost forgot the most important part of the proprietress' explanation.In other words, how come there are still people who encounter such a good thing and still gossip?

"Furthermore, please stay calm, everyone, the tea will be here soon."

After finishing speaking, he jumped off the stage and went to help prepare together, ignoring the new round of gossip behind him.

Including, casual two-sentence dialogue.

"Huh? Where did Boss Xiaowen go?"

"Maybe for the opening of the restaurant in the afternoon, let's make arrangements!"

"Oh!"

But in fact, at this moment, the Boss Xiaowen they were talking about had a black cloth over his eyes, his hands were tied behind his back, a rag was stuffed in his mouth, and he was moaning...
