In one go

The beauty of the south of the Yangtze River in March is simply suffocating. Rows of peach blossoms along the river cover the rippling water waves in the river, but there is still a gust of breeze from time to time, allowing people to sneak a glimpse of the fragrance on the painting boat.A few white-faced scholars shook their heads by the river, shouting to the painting boat: "Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river island, my fair lady..."

"Cut, these little white faces with lust but no guts." Xiao Er had just spat at the scholar's back when he heard someone shouting inside, so he could only laugh and walk inside: "Oh, Lord... "

Erhuang's tongue at the door dragged so long that it dripped water.It looks at every hand that comes and goes, hoping that someone will give it some delicious food.But this kind of luck doesn't happen every day. People begging now can't get a few pennies, let alone this big dog that looks stupid and stupid.

But today Erhuang may have gotten lucky, a hand holding a meat bun appeared in its eyes, and this hand is getting closer and closer!Erhuang barked excitedly, wagging his tail and trotted over, drooling all the way.After finally running to Roubaozi, it opened its mouth full of saliva and was about to bite, but when the hand was lifted up, Baozi flew to another place, Erhuang rushed away in a hurry, and he didn't even hear what was behind him. Hahahaha big laugh.

"It's just a dog, why is Brother Zhang laughing?"

"Brother Zhao's words are wrong," Zhang Zhezhi shook Zhao Xian's shiny hand, "As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food, but you see, not only birds, but also dogs. I have When Baozi was in my hand, it begged for mercy and sold its life to me. But when Baozi was not in my hand, it immediately forgot who I was." He clapped his hands "snap" as he said: "So, In the future, if you raise a dog, you must put the bun in your hand!"

Zhao Xian was quite frightened by Zhang Zhezhi's actions.But after all, I think that Zhang Zhezhi is also a reader, and has a brilliant literary talent.It's not good to show your panic.I had to smile wryly: "Brother Zhang is right, so let's go to the investment store first."

"Look at what kind of personality I'm catching. Thanks to Brother Zhao for reminding me, otherwise the two of us would have to sleep on the street if we were late." After finishing speaking, he pointed to where Erhuang was standing, "Brother Zhao, That dog gave us a good idea."

It was night, but it was not as peaceful as before.

Zhao Xian managed to pull Zhang Zhezhi to talk to him about strange anecdotes, but he could hear the sound of bangs coming from downstairs.He also has a quiet temperament, no matter what Zhang Zhezhi said, he couldn't listen to it anymore.Immediately, anger arose in his heart, and he shouted downstairs: "Xiao Er!"

It didn't take long before he heard a rush of footsteps stop at the door, and before he could knock on the door, Zhao Xian opened the door with a sullen expression: "Xiaoer, what is the clanking downstairs doing?! "

Seeing his ferocious appearance, Xiao Er immediately became three points shorter, and said quietly: "Guest officer, please don't get angry... This downstairs is a person who cannot be offended."

"Oh? What kind of person can't afford to provoke?" Zhang Zhezhi also stood by the door at this time, and kept looking down.

"Here...you two can see for yourself..." Xiao Er moved half of his body away, motioning them to go out and see for themselves.Fortunately, the inn has been built into a square, so the lobby can be seen clearly from the fence.

Without saying a word, Zhang Zhezhi walked to the edge of the fence, and saw a person sitting in the huge lobby, but there were several tables of delicacies piled up in front of this person.I saw this person put a small chopsticks on the plate and put them into the mouth leisurely.After Xu Shi chewed a few mouthfuls, he frowned slightly, and threw the dish just now on the ground.Immediately, a group of strangely dressed people appeared, and they cleaned up quickly. Meanwhile, the person sitting there threw down a few more plates, making bang-dang sounds continuously.But that group of people acted as if they hadn't seen anything, even if they were occasionally hit by a plate, they never made a sound.

Zhang Zhezhi stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Who is this person?"

Xiao Er also came to them at some point, shrinking half of her body: "This man is the boss of our shop, his name is Wang Hang, and he is known as the third master Wang."

"Master Wang?" A gleam flashed in Zhang Zhezhi's eyes, "Why, is your little innkeeper so famous?"

"Master, don't make jokes!" Xiao Er yelled bitterly, and said in a low voice, "This man is not only the owner of our inn, but also the owner of Jiangnan!"

"How do you say that?" Zhao Xian was also aroused by his curiosity, and asked pertinently.

"Guest officer, you are an outsider, so you must not know. This Wang Sanye was originally a servant on the painting boat, and the master was the number one on the painting boat. I don't know what tricks he used to buy the painting boat when he was old and young. He passed away within a few months after buying it, but he still handed over the painting boat to the boy." The little boy nuzzled, "The person downstairs is also a ruthless character. After taking over the painting boat from the master, within three months Inside, everyone respected him as the third master. In the next year, not to mention the merger of other boats on the lake, even half of the restaurants on the riverside were surnamed Wang. Now this Jiangnan is said to be entirely under his It’s not too much in the hands.”

Zhao Xian was a little flustered when he heard it: "Such a powerful person, of course I want to get to know him!" He was clenching his fists and was about to rush downstairs, but was stopped by a hand, "Master! Master! This is impossible!"

"Oh? Xiaoer, what's wrong with this? Didn't you just boast that the third king is omnipotent?" Zhang Zhezhi looked at Xiaoer's bitter and bitter face, and almost laughed out loud. "Could it be that what you said is all false?!"

"Master! I dare not lie to you!" This little one is also a soft persimmon, and his head almost hit the floor at this time, "Master, I really didn't lie to you! It's just that you saw it just now, third master He has a weird temper. Since he took over the restaurant by the lake, he will go to various restaurants every month to order food. As long as it doesn't suit his taste, he will smash the plate immediately.

Moreover, when the third master was eating, no one else was allowed to be present, and the people cleaning up on the side were all domestic slaves in the mansion, and they were all good at martial arts.Once, there were several guests like you who originally wanted to make friends with the third master.Before half a foot stepped into the lobby, he was dragged out by those house slaves.He was brought back the next morning with bruises all over his body and kept talking nonsense.Hey, what a crime, a good scholar..."

Zhao Xian turned pale with fright at Xiao Er's words, and while shaking his head, he muttered to himself: "This kind of insane person, this kind of insane person..."

"So the two masters should make do with it, and the third master doesn't come every day, it will be fine after tonight." Seeing that the two of them had no other thoughts, Xiao Er retreated with relief.

Zhao Xian just came back to his senses at this moment, and was about to hurriedly walk towards the wing room, but he did not forget to whisper to Zhang Zhezhi: "This person is insane, and he will cause trouble to the upper body, brother Zhang and I should rest early!"

Zhang Zhezhi was about to answer a few words, but Zhao Xian ran into the room as if fleeing for his life.He shrugged helplessly, and continued to lie on the fence and look down.Third Master Wang was still eating slowly, as if the shaking of the mountains and the ground could not stop him from continuing to savor the delicacies.When he finally tasted the dishes on the table, it was almost Haishi.Zhang Zhezhi also stood by the fence for almost half an hour. He blinked vigorously, and saw Wang Hang stand up from the stool.

how is this?Zhang Zhezhi was somewhat puzzled.Without the cover of tables and chairs, Wang Hang's whole body was clearly exposed to Zhang Zhezhi's eyes.The clothes that should have been loose were all stretched out, and his face seemed bloated. He looked like a cook, but he was wearing the clothes of the son, which looked nondescript.

"Heh" Zhang Zhezhi still couldn't help laughing out loud.It's true that people can't judge by appearance. Who would have thought that the famous Third Master Wang would look like a common man in the market?It's no wonder that he doesn't allow others to get close to him. He would rather leave a notorious reputation of not distinguishing between good and evil, and don't want to be ridiculed by the world behind his back.

So he seemed to sympathize and nodded at Wang Hang's back: "The Tang Dynasty regarded Yang Yuhuan as its beauty, and if you, Wang Hang, might be a beauty embryo in the Tang Dynasty, why are you hiding in such a state? Means and brains You have reached the pinnacle, but you are still afraid of the world's words. I really don't know whether to say you are pretentious or pitiful." He said, shaking his head and walking towards the room, "I think the third master must have a low self-esteem. When the villain enters the house, how can you How can I please the third master?"

The sound of the door opening managed to mask his question.All that reached Wang Hang's ears was the "creaking" sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet inn.He paused, and waved to the servant next to him, "Find a master to repair this wooden door." The servant nodded, and was about to leave, when he heard Wang Han say again, "Forget it, Go back and tell Wang An to let him renovate the inn and recruit a few more cooks."

After the order was given, the group walked out of the inn in an orderly manner.In the empty lobby, it was as if nothing had happened before. You could faintly hear the singing on the bank of the river, and a few singers who were not in power sang leisurely: "Leng Qiuyue, Wu Ningmei, don't let him go in this life... "

Zhang Zhezhi was woken up by the noise downstairs.March in the south of the Yangtze River is not only beautiful, but also very lively. The lobby has been filled with tourists since dawn, and the voices almost lifted the roof.Turned over on the bed a few times, trying to take advantage of the drowsiness to sleep for a while, but was still disturbed by the downstairs and couldn't fall asleep.

He opened his eyes and stared at the roof for a while, then patted his forehead with his hands helplessly: "Hey, Zhang Zhezhi, why are you doing this..." But before he could feel how difficult life is, there was a hasty knock on the door It interrupted his thoughts.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, the sky is bright and the sun is clear outside the house. It's a good weather for watching. I wonder if Brother Zhang would like to go out and play with me?" Zhao Xian was very excited, and chatted a lot outside the door .He didn't know that Zhang Zhezhi was lying on the bed at the moment. Although his face was full of helplessness, he returned with good words: "Brother Zhao is really in a good mood! It's just that I'm a little lazy, and I haven't finished grooming at the moment. Could you please wait a moment for Brother Zhao?" , my younger brother will enjoy the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River with Brother Zhao."

"Then I'll wait for Brother Zhang in the lobby. The snacks in this inn are also very good. After Brother Zhang has finished grooming, come and taste one or two." Zhao Xian has a very carefree personality. Hearing Zhang Zhezhi's excuse at this moment, he immediately complied. Zhang Zhezhi was inexplicably relieved as he walked further and further away.This Zhao Xian is naturally a thoughtless guy, he was fooled into Jiangnan by his few words, he is a bit stupid, but he is still a good person, he has really taken care of himself a lot along the way, maybe he has already taken care of himself in his heart As a friend who can confide in you...

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhezhi frowned rarely.This is not what I want, Zhao Xian's value is just to prove that he is a poor and down-to-earth scholar, if friendship really arises, it will be a bit tricky.Hey, let's find a chance to dismiss this fool.He let out another long sigh, pretending that Zhang Zhezhi had met a lot, but actually met the truth, which was unexpected.It's no wonder that in this world, the hardest thing to treat each other is true love.

Here Zhang Zhezhi was still washing and grooming at a leisurely pace, but Zhao Xian had already eaten most of the dishes he had ordered, and he was extremely happy while eating, but he felt ashamed when he saw the leftovers on the table.I had no choice but to comfort myself: "Brother Zhang definitely doesn't mind..." He quietly put the empty plate under his feet, which at first glance was barely considered a good dish.

"Could it be that this is what Brother Zhao said about eating?" Zhang Zhezhi jokingly sat opposite Zhao Xian, and saw Zhao Xian's face turn red instantly.

"Uh...Brother Zhang...this..." Zhao Xian looked left and right in a daze, but he didn't find any good excuse, so he subconsciously opened his mouth and shouted: "Little Er!"

"Here you are!" A figure rushed to the table, waved the towel, "Master, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Zhang Zhezhi was still looking at him, Zhao Xian raised his breath and squirted at Xiao Er: "I said your inn is not a black shop, right! Are the dishes here edible!"

Seeing that it was the two scholars from last night, Xiao Er thought it was good trouble, so he asked with a smile on his face, but as soon as Zhao Xian opened his mouth, he knew he was looking for trouble, and the goodwill in his heart disappeared immediately, and he used his eyes Sweeping around the table, his waist straightened a lot: "I said, sir, are you sure it's like this when it comes out?" Yes, the plate under you, could it be that I also served it to you?"

"This... this..." Zhao Xian was speechless when asked, his face turned green and pale, and he remained silent for a while.

"Since this is the case, then my friend must have made a mistake, and the second brother can help me, so I won't pursue this matter, how about it?" Seeing Zhao Xian's appearance, Zhang Zhezhi also knew that he was deeply ashamed, Unhurriedly selling a favor, he opened his mouth to help him out.

Xiaoer thought for a while, and felt that Zhang Zhezhi's words were reasonable, and gave Zhang Zhezhi a smile: "This master understands our difficulties." Turning his head and squinting at Zhao Xian, "Don't be ashamed as some people are." Shameless, this restaurant won't be able to continue." After saying that, he walked away quickly, not paying attention to them at all.

"Zhang knows Brother Zhao's good intentions, but this small snack is meant to fill your stomach." Zhang Zhezhi picked up a dish and put it in his mouth, and smiled at Zhao Xian, motioning him to eat together.Zhao Xian just ate a lot, and he is not hungry at the moment, but seeing Zhang Zhezhi help himself out of the siege, and still not dislike the food, tears filled his eyes, and he wanted to hold his hand and call out "confidant!"

Zhang Zhezhi had seen the plate under the table a long time ago, this time he opened his mouth for Zhao Xian, and he was still eating these leftovers, just wanting to win over Zhao Xian.When the play is done enough, enough is enough, Zhang Zhezhi put down his chopsticks, and looked at Zhao Xian with grateful and sincere eyes: "Brother Zhao, how about we walk along the river to watch the beautiful lake?"

"Okay!" Zhao Xian now believes that Zhang Zhezhi is a confidant worthy of life and death, so naturally he will do whatever he says.

So the two walked along the river and encountered countless small vendors selling various snacks and gadgets.I don't know if it's a market, or Jiangnan is so lively in the first place, every stall is full of people.Zhang Zhezhi and Zhao Xian managed not to be dispersed by the crowd, but they couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north, and east.Originally, I wanted to follow the flow of people, but it was just for fun, no matter where I went.But after walking a few steps, I felt that the flow of people stopped and gathered into a big circle.

Zhang Zhezhi and Zhao Xian looked at each other strangely, and before they could open their mouths to ask, they heard the burly man in front of him say: "I have waited for three years for the news that the third master's mansion is recruiting, and I finally let me wait until now." It's been a day!"

A frail scholar next to him responded: "Yeah, I don't know if there is still a lack of servants around the third master, but it doesn't matter if there are no servants, as long as I am allowed to enter the mansion, I am willing to do anything."

"Don't think about it, what does the third master want you to do with your small body? Warm the bed?!" The big man looked like a rough man at first glance, fearing that the scholar would snatch the qualification to enter the mansion with such a superficial appearance, so he could poke a sentence.

"You! You barbarian!! I don't think the third master will want you! I, I can still warm the bed for the third master, you, you wild man with a face full of flesh, don't even want to warm the bed. Yes!!!" The scholar blushed so hard that he was about to bleed, but he still didn't forget to scold the big guy back.That big man is not someone to offend, he rolls up his sleeves and pretends to hit him!

Zhang Zhezhi looked amused, and stretched out his hand to stop the big man: "Brother, I'm afraid it's not good to beat people in public."

"Who are you? Why don't you care about me!" The big man looked at Zhang Zhezhi with his nose, and secretly pressed his hands down, but he didn't expect the white-faced scholar in front of him to have such great strength. Find a step by yourself, "Hmph, today the third master's house is recruiting people. I don't want to cause trouble, I'm afraid I will leave a bad impression on the third master. After today, I won't be able to spare you!"

"Then thank you, brother, for your mercy." Zhang Zhezhi also put down his hands, and with a slip of his foot, he moved closer to the big man and the scholar. thing?"

"It turns out that he is a foreigner, so you must not know." Zhang Zhezhi stretched out his hand just now, apparently leaving a good impression on the scholar, and immediately posted it to explain to Zhang Zhezhi, "Today is the Wang family's three-year recruitment. One day. The owner of the Wang family, Mr. Wang, is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. He treats his slaves very generously. Any servant who sweeps the floor can save a few taels of silver a year. Besides, Mr. Wang has a great reputation. The house slaves are also very face-saving. What's more, the mansion will distribute new clothes every month, and invite the chef to cook some food for the house slaves. Life is very pleasant!"

"It is true that you are a scholar who is useless!" The big man was a little annoyed when he heard it. He was obviously very satisfied with Zhang Zhezhi's "thank you" just now, and he also moved to Zhang Zhezhi's side, "Little brother, this scholar said What eating, drinking, and having fun are the opinions of ordinary people. For those of us who practice martial arts, there will be martial arts competitions in the house every month. If kung fu can beat one against a hundred, the third master can recommend me and other ordinary people to go to the military camp for experience. Third master Many of the family slaves in the house are sent to the military camp every year to serve the country. If you are lucky, you can even become an official and get a reward, and you will be on the rise from now on!"

"Looking at it this way, it's really a great thing, and it's no wonder there are so many people." Zhang Zhezhi sighed, and suddenly shook his head with a sad face, "Hey, hey..."

"Brother, this is?..." Seeing his weird behavior, both the big man and the scholar seemed a little surprised.

Zhang Zhezhi looked regretful: "I just sigh, this kind of good job must not be easy to get, mediocre people, how can we win?!"

"Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to explain the most important point to my brother." The scholar whispered, "The reason why so many people gather here is not only because it is a good job, but also because this job , you don’t need to prepare anything. Just bring the person.”

"How do you say that?" Zhao Xian also pushed forward, as if he wasn't frightened at all last night.

The big man glanced at Zhao Xian, and his face became more and more serious: "You literary scholars, you have to go around for a long time to say a word! Because recruiting people does not require you to have any literary talent or martial arts, and the management only needs to be with you. Talk about two words, you can decide whether to stay or not."

"Oh? In that case, as long as you bribe the steward, you can enter the mansion." Zhang Zhezhi showed doubts, and the big man couldn't help pushing him, "You scholar! What nonsense! How can the Wang family tolerate it?" The matter of bribery! The Wang family recruits people, there are five stewards in charge, and each steward will ask you questions. Only if you successfully pass the five stewards' questions can you be recruited into the Wang family. Don't insult the reputation of the Wang family! "

Zhang Zhezhi was pushed to the ground, and his face was full of anger: "You reckless man, what are you pushing people for! I don't want to be a slave to the Wang family, and it doesn't do me any good if you hurt me. Besides, God knows what's going on in the Wang family. It's a place that eats people without spitting out their bones, and it will be too late for you to regret it!" Zhang Zhezhi's voice was loud, and it was among the applicants in this circle that the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

Only a voice came from behind: "Oh, is it?"

Zhang Zhezhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, finally waiting for the right owner.He pretended to stand up with difficulty, patted his trousers and gown, and then turned around and said, "So what?!"
