Lord, pay for the wine

Chapter 28 Small Town Hero

After finally sending away these folks whose main purpose was to inquire about the bandits, Yan Anxuan and the others were so tired that they sat casually on the stools and lying on the table unwilling to get up.

Looking at Zong Jinyu who was still sitting straight and unrestrained, Yan Anxuan felt a little upset, so he said, "Little, uh...Jin Yu, why are you sitting so serious?"

Seeing him slumped on the table, Zong Jinyu asked in puzzlement, "Shopkeeper, what's wrong with me sitting like this?"

"..." Yan Anxuan was silent, he couldn't let him say why your buddy has a better sitting posture than the shopkeeper like me, because he couldn't say such a thing, Yan Anxuan straightened his waist silently.

"Jin Gong..." As soon as the first two words came out, Lin Yuehua felt the unfriendly gaze from Yan Anxuan, so she had to change her words and emphasize: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu, aren't you tired?"

Sensing Yan Anxuan's satisfied gaze, Lin Yuehua was furious: You, the shopkeeper, don't want to be called Xiaoliu by your own name, but you just call him by his name, don't you just think this name is tacky?But it made me and Xiaoan, Xiaosi, Xiaowu call each other so easily and feel at ease.

Zong Jinyu replied lightly, "I'm not tired."

Hearing his answer, Yan Anxuan was happy that he had found such an easy-to-use buddy on the one hand, and on the other hand felt unhappy that he was not as good as a buddy, so he took out a few copper coins and said, "Jin Yu, you are not tired." Ah, that's just right, go to the sesame seed shop of Lao Liu's house in Qiaotou, east, and buy some sesame seed cakes for me."

Zong Jinyu picked up the copper plate and smiled indifferently: "Does the shopkeeper only need one or a few?"

"...Only one!" After Yan Anxuan answered, he found that he and several people were looking at him eagerly, so he had no choice but to take out some copper coins and said, "Eight, let's buy eight! One for each person."

The chef muttered, "Boss, I don't have enough."

Xiao Er heard it and shouted: "Shopkeeper, I and Xiao San are not enough!"

Lin An also interrupted to add to the confusion: "Boss, my young master and I don't have enough to eat!"

Hearing the yelling of several people, and seeing the smile on Zong Jinyu's mouth, Yan Anxuan angrily took out one ingot and one tael of silver, and said, "Five per person, forty is enough?"

The crowd cheered.

Yan Anxuan continued: "Don't rush to cheer, these five pancakes are your dinner today, if you can't finish them, don't even think about having dinner again in the future."

"Ah? Shopkeeper, you are too cruel!"

"Yes, shopkeeper, you are so cruel!"

Listening to everyone's complaints, Yan Anxuan smiled triumphantly and said, "If you don't want to eat, I'll just buy two."

When all the guys heard this, they immediately said in unison: "Let's eat!"

"Okay," Yan Anxuan clapped his hands and said to Zong Jinyu, "Jin Yu, you can go and buy forty biscuits, preferably just out of the pan. I don't want to eat cold biscuits."

Forty sesame seed cakes, no matter how big the stove is, it is impossible to cook them at the same time. If they are not cooked at the same time, the ones that come out of the pan first will inevitably be cold. In addition to the distance traveled on the road, Yan Anxuan's order like this is obviously embarrassing.

The rest of the guys wanted to help, but they didn't know what to say?Anyway, the shopkeeper has a knife mouth and a tofu heart. Even if the biscuits are cold, the shopkeeper can only say a few words, and the most serious thing is to deduct some wages.

Zong Jinyu didn't pay much attention to such instructions, picked up the ingot of silver and said to Yan Anxuan: "The shopkeeper, then I'll go." After speaking, he turned and left the inn.

Watching Zong Jinyu's back disappear, Yan Anxuan asked Xiao Er solemnly: "Xiao Er, follow!"

Xiao Er dragged on a long voice and asked in grief and indignation: "The shopkeeper, why is it me?"

Yan Anxuan took a sip of water, but still said seriously: "Because you eat too much!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Xiao Er continued to grieve and indignantly: "It's okay for little four and five to nod, what do you nod, chef, you eat the most, right? And there is little three," said little two aggrieved: "Little three, I eat really well. not much!"

Yan Anxuan ignored his grief and indignation, and just stated the facts: "If you don't follow, Xiao Liu will be back after buying sesame seed cakes."

When Xiao Er heard this, she stopped her grief and indignation, and quickly followed.

Lin Yuehua questioned a certain word in Yan Anxuan's speech: "Shopkeeper, you were called Jin Gongzi Xiaoliu just now, right?"

Yan Anxuan did not deny it: "Yes."

"Then... why didn't you bark when he was around?"

"Uh, I'm also surprised, I really can't say such a vulgar name to him." Yan Anxuan thought bitterly.

"Then why did the shopkeeper call me and Xiaoan, Xiaosi, Xiaowu so easily?" Lin Yuehua finally asked this question.

Yan Anxuan thought for a while, but couldn't come up with an answer, so he patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "Maybe you two are particularly suitable for this name!"

After seeing off the group of guests, there were no more guests in the inn, and a few people sat leisurely in the front hall waiting for the arrival of the biscuits.

Before the biscuits arrived, I saw Xiao Er running in panting. As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly shouted: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper."

Yan Anxuan poured him a glass of water and said, "Why is it so urgent?"

"Shopkeeper, it's a big deal!" Xiao Er hurriedly said after taking a sip of water.

"Big deal?"

"That's right, shopkeeper, you don't know that Mr. Jin was surrounded by a large group of villagers as soon as he turned a corner on the street."

"Surrounded?"

"Yes, I watched from a distance that the villagers surrounded Mr. Jin and was about to go to rescue him, when I saw a gap in the crowd, and Mr. Jin walked out to the east bridge."

Yan Anxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "And then?"

"Then I came back." Xiao Er picked up the cup and was about to drink water, but Yan Anxuan snatched it away: "You can drink this water later, and then go and have a look."

"Huh? Oh." Xiao Er agreed and went out.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Er rushed back again.

"Xiao Er, why are you back again?"

"Shopkeeper, I don't need to go, Mr. Jin has already returned."

"The biscuits are sold out so quickly?"

"No, it's..." Xiaoer couldn't tell, so he pulled Yan Anxuan out and pointed at the person who came over there, "You see for yourself, shopkeeper."

From a distance, Yan Anxuan saw Zong Jinyu walking towards the inn with even and steady steps, and there was a signboard next to it, which read: Old Liu's Cake Shop.

The sesame seed shop of the old Liu's family came along with them!

Lao Liu’s sesame seed cakes have always been a must in Yezhen and even in Yecheng. The dough is covered with thick sesame seeds, and the fillings are vegetarian and meaty. It is crispy and delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

But all signboards have a bit of a temper, and Lao Liu is no exception. For decades, he has only done business at the east bridge, and now he has moved the shop location for Zong Jinyu!

Arriving at the entrance of the inn, Zong Jinyu smiled and said to Yan Anxuan: "The shopkeeper, the shop has moved here, so that you can directly eat the freshly baked sesame seed cakes."

Yan Anxuan was surprised: "How did you do it?"

"It's just stating some facts." Zong Jinyu replied.

Of course, Yan Anxuan knew that Zong Jinyu's simple statement of facts was not that simple, but Zong Jinyu didn't say anything, so Yan Anxuan didn't bother to ask.

Because of the transfer of the biscuit shop, folks with good deeds gathered at the Jiuqianlai Inn again. Although the folks were a little dissatisfied with the sell-out of "Jiuqianlai", but after eating and drinking for a day, today's business is really good!

As night fell, Yan Anxuan asked the guys to light lanterns at the entrance of the inn, close the door, and prepare for dinner.

Yan Anxuan specially invited Wang Ran to have dinner with all the guys. In the past, Yan Anxuan only asked the chef to make some good ones and send them over. Yan Anxuan didn't want a group of noisy guys to disturb his father.

This time, Yan Anxuan invited his father to have dinner together, which was naturally richer and more delicate, and of course it wasn't just the few biscuits!

After all the dishes were served and everyone was seated, Yan Anxuan cleared his throat and said: "I have a few things to announce today, today is the first day of our inn's new look, first of all welcome the new staff at the inn—— Jin Yu."

Then, crackling applause sounded.

"And then there's the good news to announce."

"What what? What is it?"

"Because of Xie Er, the image of our inn is very positive now. We are all regarded as chivalrous men, especially Jin Yu!"

Everyone was happy, but unexpectedly Yan Anxuan changed the subject and said sadly: "But the exclusive wine brewed by our inn is gone, we need to collect raw materials, so..."

"so?"

"So, after everyone finishes eating, hurry up and get ready to start making wine."

"Okay!" Everyone said in unison, full of enthusiasm.

Wang Ran looked at the crowd with a smile, and then fixed his eyes on Zong Jinyu. Seeing Zong Jinyu's demeanor even while eating, Wang Ran frowned: This person is not a thing in the pool, but why? Willing to stay here as a hard-working buddy.

Feeling being observed for a long time, Zong Jinyu also looked at Wang Ran, but happened to meet Yan Anxuan's gaze, and Yan Anxuan hurriedly averted his gaze.

At this time, Wang Ran said, "I don't know why Mr. Jin stayed at the inn as a waiter?"

The mouth full of food couldn't stop Xiao Er's determination to speak. Xiao Er swallowed a big mouthful of food and said, "Because Mr. Jin owes the shopkeeper money."

Lin Yuehua and Lin An also said, "Same as us."

Zong Jinyu nodded without denying it.Yan Anxuan put a large chopsticks dish into Wang Ran's bowl, and said, "Father, you should eat more, because I need to be busy when brewing wine."

Zong Jinyu thought of the combination of unique secret recipes and certain flavors, and couldn't help thinking about it, and looked at Wang Ran calmly.

Wang Ran didn't realize it at all, and just said: "You always have to learn these secret recipes, this time you will be with me."

Yan Anxuan said happily: "Okay, Dad!"

Although Lin Yuehua and Lin An responded to Yan Anxuan's name many times during the meeting, Yan Anxuan pretended to be deaf and dumb as if he didn't hear him, but still called Zong Jinyu Jin Yu.

Jin Yu, Jin Yu!Zong Jinyu didn't feel disgusted at Yan Anxuan's behavior of calling her by his name directly, on the contrary, he pampered Yan Anxuan a little more.
