Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door, and the three people in the room immediately returned to acting mode.
"You three gentlemen, have you rested? The shopkeeper has ordered that if you guys want to go to dinner, the youngest one should come and lead the way."
Li Junxian went to open the door. Fang Er strode in front, and Xiao Rui followed.
Fang Er said: "Lead the way and see what delicious food there is in a small place like Tanzhou."
Xiao Rui said disdainfully: "What kind of food can be found in a place like this? If you can barely fill your stomach, it's amazing."
The waiter smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, sir. Tanzhou is remote and not as good as Chang'an and Luoyang. The ordinary food and drink will definitely not be to your liking. However, there are a few local delicacies that can give you something new to try."
This Tantu Restaurant is right next to the Tantu Inn. Judging from the decoration design, it is indeed luxurious. It must have been put in by someone. I heard from the waiter that this Tantu Restaurant is one of the best in Tanzhou City. There must be an official Background, otherwise a family of bandits would dare to open a big restaurant in the city so blatantly?
"Sir, do you guys want to sit in the hall and eat? Or go to the private seats on the second floor?" the waiter asked.
Li Junxian rushed to say: "Just sit in the hall, my young master wants to be down to earth."
"I understand, I understand!" The waiter had known for a long time that this coachman and part-time guard had experience in the world, so it was not surprising.
He turned to the counter of the restaurant and shouted: "Shopkeeper, arrange a table of good food and wine. All the signature dishes must be included, and they must be made by the master chef himself. The money will not be short of yours."
The owner of the restaurant came up to him with a smile, "Hey, isn't this the waiter next door? What, the inn has a distinguished guest staying?"
The waiter gestured to the three people around him, "Did you see that? These three are distinguished guests from the capital, especially this young master, who is... ahem, I'm sorry, young master, I have a bad memory, sir. Which house are you from?"
Xiao Rui spat and reprimanded: "Stop your dog eyes, my young master is from Baoqi Pavilion in Beijing..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Junxian stood in front of Xiao Rui and said, "My young master is from the Li family in Longxi. Although he is not a direct descendant, he still has a noble status. Go and arrange the meals. What are you asking about?"
Xiao Rui echoed: "That's right, if you can meet the young master of my Longxi Li family, you are lucky in this life. You have accumulated good deeds in your previous life."
Fang Er waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's eat, what are you talking about?"
The waiter and the shopkeeper looked at each other, and they thought that it was true that he was the son of an ordinary businessman. He was traveling far away for the first time, pretending to be a son of the Li family in Longxi. He was using a tiger's skin as a banner to defend himself on the road.
"Okay, you guys, please take a seat. I will give instructions to the chef. Our Tantu Restaurant is the largest and best restaurant in the entire Tanzhou City. The master chef has learned in Chang'an and Luoyang. I guarantee your satisfaction."
The waiter bowed and said, "Sir, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave. I have some errands to attend to at the inn, so I won't disturb your meal."
Fang Er nodded, "Reward!"
Xiao Rui threw out a tael of silver, and Li Junxian warned: "Take good care of our horse. Also, send someone to watch and don't touch our carriage."
The waiter thanked him profusely, "Don't worry, we will take good care of you. Our Tantu Inn has the best reputation, and everything belonging to our guests is absolutely safe."
That's what he said, but the more he warned, the more curious the waiter became, especially since the Fourth Master also told him to get to know the details of this group of people. Now that their identities are basically confirmed, what about their financial resources?
Hehe, are you not allowed to get close to the carriage? Doesn't this mean there is a ghost? There must be some secret on the carriage.
So he turned around and the waiter inspected the carriage himself. If you don't know, you will be shocked when you see it. There are two boxes of treasures, one big and one small, on the carriage? Is this so crazy? Three people go out without guards, how dare they bring so much treasure?
The box is locked. The reason why I dare to judge that it is treasure is because judging from the rut marks, the contents inside are not light! It’s either gold, silver or jewelry. It’s impossible to hold two boxes of stones, right?
The waiter was so excited that he was trembling when he walked. He immediately went to the innkeeper and said, "The innkeeper has made a fortune. Well, that mallet is so rich. There are actually two boxes of treasures on the carriage!"
What? ? ?
The shopkeeper was surprised and said: "Boy, are you sure? Who can take so many treasures out with nothing? And since it is treasure, why not carry it to the guest room? Just throw it on the carriage so boldly? Aren't you afraid of being stolen?"
The waiter nodded heavily and said, "I'm 80% sure it's treasure. Otherwise, we can find a locksmith and ask him to open the lock on the box and we'll find out."
"As for why you didn't carry it into the guest room? I'm afraid it's too eye-catching. Although the young master and the boy are tough, the coachman seems to be experienced. The goods on the carriage are carefully covered. If they hadn't specifically told them I look after horses and vehicles, and I didn’t really think to check them.”
The shopkeeper nodded, "If you say that, it's really possible. Go and ask the locksmith to come over. Hey, if it's really two boxes of treasure, then it will be given away. I thought I would need to tie up the meat ticket and spend some time to go to Chang'an to blackmail It’s just a stroke of fortune, I didn’t expect it, it doesn’t have to be that troublesome at all, we can make a fortune right where we are.”
The waiter advised: "Honor, you can't do this in the inn. If you take those two boxes of treasure now, wouldn't it be a warning? If it gets too big, it will not be good for the reputation of our inn, and it will also scare away the stick. The boss knows He will definitely be blamed."
The shopkeeper nodded heavily, "Nonsense, can I not know the importance? I mean, when we go up the mountain tomorrow, we can harvest the treasure."
"By the way, this matter must not be spread out. If other villages find out about it, they may come and steal business. Money is so attractive. Go and do it quickly."
"Yes, the shopkeeper."
The inn was racing against time to arrange the decorations, for fear that the two people in the second room would come back from dinner and bump into them. Little did they know that all of this was a staged show, and Fang Er and the others would give them enough time to see it for real. Including the two boxes of treasures, the big box is gold and silver, and the small box is jewelry. They were all temporarily purchased from the Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce in Tanzhou City.
At that time, the shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce was still a little distressed, but Xiao Rui reprimanded, "This is fishing bait. Anyone who dares to take advantage of us is seeking death." Let us pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and we will earn ten times more than this in the future. The shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce smiled happily after speaking.
Even if they were not used to make money, but were all requisitioned by his own Marquis, he would not dare to say no. The entire Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce belonged to the Marquis, and he was just a working servant. How could he dare not cooperate?
At the restaurant, a table of signature dishes was served, and the shopkeeper stood aside waiting to be rewarded. Unexpectedly, Fang Er commented one by one, and criticized the dishes on the table to pieces. The shopkeeper's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
