Great Imperial Merchant

"Don't you guys know each other" is very thought-provoking.

Yang Zhongyuan became vigilant in an instant. His day was different from the last time someone made trouble. He seemed to be in a hurry, but he was actually awake. He probably still remembered the diners all day today.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhongyuan couldn't help asking him: "This guest officer, you must speak with conscience. This old man came in before you. Naturally, I will give it to him first."

The young man was tall and burly, and he looked very fierce. He shouted angrily: "You are quite eloquent, everyone here take a look, I obviously came before the old man, why did you get to the boss?" Turning black and white upside down?"

After he finished speaking, he did not give Yang Zhongyuan a chance to refute, and immediately continued: "Boss, do you have to be honest when doing business? I know you are busy here, so it is understandable for you to make a mistake in the order. Don't make this mistake in the future." , otherwise...it would be bad if you smashed the signboard by yourself."

The previous sentence was so fierce, and the second sentence became so empathetic, the gap between before and after is too big.

Right now is the busiest time of the day, there are many diners inside and outside the shop, most of them are old customers, basically everyone comes to eat noodles, Yang Zhongyuan will give a number when queuing, and never wait until the food is served Can't go wrong.

Everyone was amazed by Yang Zhongyuan's good memory, so they spread the word, and more people came to the shop.

After all, the common people don’t usually have much fun, so it’s quite interesting to come here to eat a bowl of noodles.

Yang Zhongyuan squinted his eyes and stared at the big man, and immediately understood in his heart that this time it was probably Meng Tiao who made it bad.

Ever since he started selling Latiaozi, Mengtiao's business has plummeted. Except for home-cooked food, the business of pasta has almost disappeared. No wonder he is not angry.

But so many provocations came to the door again and again, even a clay figurine has a three-point temper. Yang Zhongyuan took a deep breath, but turned to the old man, "Old man, when you came in, what number did I give you?"

The old man ate his noodles tremblingly, as if he didn't hear Yang Zhongyuan's question at all.

Yang Zhongyuan's brows slowly tightened. He was very surprised when the big man yelled just now. Most people have to fight back and defend themselves when they are picked on, but he kept his head down and ate his noodles to himself.

Yang Zhongyuan glanced at the young man from the corner of his eye, seeing a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, he immediately realized it.

This time Meng Tiaoxue was clever, and he found two seemingly completely unrelated people to make him a trick.

At this dazzling effort, Yang Zhongyuan thought clearly about the cause and effect. While carefully recalling the scene when the two entered the shop, he said loudly: "The guest officer sitting at the door, can you call for me?" old man?"

The person called by Yang Zhongyuan was an old diner of their family. Occasionally, when there were few people, he would chat with Yang Zhongyuan for a few words, so he was not surprised by what happened in the store, but just reached out and patted it calmly. The old man's shoulder.

The old man seemed to be terribly frightened, he suddenly raised his wrinkled old face, and then looked at the person who patted him in a daze.

At this moment, Yang Zhongyuan suddenly called him: "Old man! I'm calling you!"

His voice was so loud and bright that even the shop opposite could hear it, let alone the old man who pretended to be deaf.

His hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help shaking, so he had to turn his head to look at Yang Zhongyuan, with a little surprise on his face.

Acting is really good, but it depends on whether you have the opportunity to continue to display it.

Seeing that Yang Zhongyuan was staring at him with vigour, he couldn't continue to pretend now, so he said tremblingly, "What's the matter?"

His voice was not very loud, so Yang Zhongyuan became more confident in his heart.You must know that Director Wei, who has the best relationship with Yang Zhongyuan in the palace, is a little deaf because of his age, so his own voice is relatively loud, otherwise he would not be able to hear himself clearly.

Yang Zhongyuan's heart fell to the ground, and a confident smile gradually appeared on his face, and he asked loudly: "Old man, do you remember your number?"

This time, because Yang Zhongyuan's voice was still very bright, the old man couldn't continue to pretend, so he had to pretend to think seriously, and answered after a long time: "Oh, I'm old, I don't remember."

Can not remember?It’s great not to remember!Yang Zhongyuan originally thought that they could insist that they were each other's number, but now that he looked at it this way, the old man's performance and style were still in place, and he made himself appear as a weak person as soon as he appeared on the stage, which would make other diners Heartfelt sympathy.

Sure enough, after he said that he didn't remember, some diners came to persuade the big man: "Forget it, forget it, respect the old and love the young, even if the store is in the wrong order, you should respect the old man."

Yang Zhongyuan's eyes flickered, and then his eyes fell on the middle-aged man who was speaking.

This one also looked unfamiliar, as if he had never been here before.

Yang Zhongyuan straightened his back, held his head high, looked at the big man confidently, and then asked him: "Let me ask again, are you sure you are NO.15?"

Seeing everyone in and out of the shop staring at him, the man seemed even more proud, and said, "Little Boss, although it's not a big deal, since you remembered the order wrong, just apologize to me and it's over. The old man is old. Alright, I can just be humble."

You were called an old man just now, why did you become an old man again in a blink of an eye?There are some inconsistencies here and there.

Yang Zhongyuan's eyes slowly swept across the faces of these three people, and finally walked out from behind the stove, facing all the diners and slowly said: "I remember, it happened to be noon when you came in, and the sun was shining from the eaves of the shop. It poured straight down, just above the shoes of the diners waiting at the door, leaving a little light on the tip of the shoe."

He has a clear voice, and he speaks unhurriedly, as if he is speaking eloquently, making the diners involuntarily recall what happened just a few moments ago, and echo with his words from time to time.

"Yes, I saw it. At that time, I thought my toes felt so hot." Someone said involuntarily.

Yang Zhongyuan smiled, and he looked more confident. He continued: "Speaking of which, today is cooler than yesterday. Although the sun is very strong, the wind is not small. Everyone can help me recall, this guest officer When you first came in, did you bring a gust of wind and blow the wind chimes hanging by the door?"

Hearing what he said, someone immediately replied: "That's right, I still remember that he kicked his front teeth, because I was standing next to him at the time, so I was shocked."

Human memory is actually very strange sometimes. When the young man first said that he was in the wrong order, many diners present did not immediately react. In fact, at the moment he came in, because of his deliberate behavior, many people They all looked up at him, but they were taken off by his loud shout just now, and didn't remember it all at once.

Seeing that someone was slowly following Yang Zhongyuan's train of thought, the big man couldn't help feeling a little anxious, trying to say something.

But Yang Zhongyuan's voice was higher and firmer than his, and he said: "At that time, a carriage passed by slowly in the alley, and the sound of horse's hoofs could be heard from the shop. When the official came in, I happened to deliver a bowl of chicken noodle soup to the table at the door, and I remember very clearly that he scolded the old man walking in front of me, 'I don't want to die', right?"

He spoke this sentence very skillfully. He started with the voice and brought everyone's thoughts to the time. Then he specially talked about a new bowl of noodles. The familiar smell of chicken soup was also recalled by the diners. The last sentence That's what matters.

So the diners sitting at the door all remembered what happened just a moment ago.

At that time, the sun outside was very sunny, but it was not hot. Occasionally, there was a breeze, which blew the wind chimes hanging on the door, making a crisp "ringing" sound. At this time, two seats were vacant, and there was one The old man stood up from the stool in the waiting area and tremblingly walked into the store.

The strong man who followed him was a little anxious, and kicked the threshold involuntarily.

Behind them, a carriage slowly passed by in the sun, and the sound of hoofbeats was clear and sweet. It sounded like a good horse with long and healthy legs.

When the old man finally walked to the door and sat down, the big man behind him jumped over, his eyes were full of disgust, and he cursed a lot: "I'm not dead."

After he yelled this, many diners nearby gave him a very disapproving look, seeing that he was a man with a fierce face, they all shut up and didn't say anything.

The noodles are delicious, and the side dishes are fresh and refreshing, so the diners quickly forget about the unpleasant scene and start savoring the delicious food seriously.

After they slowly remembered everything following Yang Zhongyuan's words, they looked at the big man with sharp eyes.Even the diner who spoke for the big man at the beginning, seeing that the situation was not right, lowered his head and pretended to eat noodles, without saying a word.

The big man was stared at by so many people, and seeing that they had already remembered everything, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered, but he always looked like a hooligan, so he cursed viciously: "What are you looking at, can't you remember wrongly?"

A few timid diners were taken aback by his scolding, and they turned their heads away from him, but there were still a few courageous ones who shouted at him: "You made a mistake, and you are still so confident, didn't you just grab the food?" It's time for the little boss to ask him to apologize? Hurry up and apologize to the little boss."

That big man was not someone who is used to bowing his head and admitting mistakes, he pushed away the diners next to him, and was about to leave the shop.

At this moment, Zhou Quanxu appeared by the door, holding the longest rolling pin in Yang Zhongyuan's shop in his hand, and slammed a hammer on the door frame: "Seeing that we are helpless in Xueta Lane, can we bully at will?" ?”

Zhou Quanxu has always had a gentle and polite temper. Everyone present, including Yang Zhongyuan, did not expect him to be so aggressive when he lost his temper!

The big man really didn't expect someone to stop him, he looked up and saw Zhou Quanxu's face was dark, and his whole body was in the posture of wanting to hit someone, so he couldn't help but shrink back a little.

Zhou Quanxu could clearly see the fear in his eyes, so he slammed the door frame again with a rolling pin, and there was a loud "bang".

Accompanied by the loud noise, Zhou Quanxu yelled sharply, "Apologize, and never set foot in my house again."

Seeing so many people in and out of the shop staring at him, the big man couldn't help feeling a little scared, so he murmured, "I'm sorry." He ran away from another door, and disappeared in Xiangzi's eyes in the blink of an eye. inside.

Leaving Zhou Quanxu and Yang Zhongyuan looking at each other, both father and son smiled heartily.

At the entrance of Xueta Alley, the big man was about to go to Mengjixing, but he was strangled by a tall figure and dragged into the alley. When he turned into a dead corner, the man let him go, his low and magnetic voice was cold Said: "Say, who invited you?"
