Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 41 The Burning Tavern

In the tavern, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were drinking together, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi brothers were also drunk, they had been to the tavern many times, but this was the first time they had a drink, the key is that they never expected that the wine in this tavern was so wonderful It is simply the best of Tang Dynasty.

The old Li Yuan at the counter looked at a group of drunkards, fiddling with the abacus in his hand, his technique was very unfamiliar, and he was muttering formulas in his mouth, as if he wanted to calculate the price of the wine for this table.

There was no such thing as abacus in the Tang Dynasty, and it originated in the Northern Song Dynasty in history.But now, Li Yuan is working as an accountant. He prepared traditional abacus. Li Yuanying said it was cumbersome after reading it, so he exchanged the points for the abacus and taught how to use it.

Maybe it's because he's getting older and his learning ability has declined, so after half an hour, the bill for the wine at the opposite table has not yet been calculated, and his brows are frowning.

At this moment, crowds gradually gathered outside the door of the tavern, and many people stopped to watch outside the door, because there were four mighty guards at the door, full of evil spirits and seriousness, which made people feel daunting, so many people Don't dare to approach.

But there are always one or two brave ones who tentatively stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this the parent-child tavern?"

One of the leading guards pointed to the plaque on the door, "It says, Parent-Child Tavern!"

With such a businesslike attitude and blunt tone, the person who asked the question suddenly felt a little bit afraid to continue asking.

Another person next to him asked in a low voice, "Can I eat here?"

The guard took a closer look at the group of people, and raised his voice twice, "You can't eat in the tavern? The door is open, you can eat. There are so many of you, are you here to make trouble? See clearly, we are all veterans of the battlefield, Weigh it!"

If Li Yuanying knew about the attitude of these veteran guards, I don't know what expression they would have.

This sentence alone scares away half of the diners on the street.

The two people who spoke waved their hands again and again, "Don't dare, we come here to eat because of fame, and we dare not make trouble, and we will never make trouble."

"If you want to eat, go in quickly, don't stand outside and block the road."

The guard next to him said loudly: "Look clearly, not everyone is welcome in the parent-child tavern, you must go in with the parent-child relationship, otherwise you won't be able to enter."

"I understand, I know the rules, and I brought the dog with me to gain knowledge." The man stretched out his hand and pulled out a timid half-grown child from behind.

The father and son entered the tavern half-actively and half-intimidated.

Seeing this scene, the people behind began to stand outside the door and stretch their heads to look around, wanting to wait and see the situation.

But the guards were not easy to mess with, and shouted loudly: "If you want to eat, hurry in, if you don't eat, hurry up and get out, don't get stuck here."

... This attitude, I am afraid that he is not coming to the tavern as a guard, but more like someone sent by a competitor to smash the scene.

This group of people are all veterans of many battles. When Li Junxian was around, Li Junxian was in charge, and he was able to manage his subordinates to maintain a friendly atmosphere.But today Li Yuanying let Xiaodoudou enter the palace to play, and Li Junxian led a team of guards, leaving behind four big bosses.

In the tavern, there was no waiter, and a table was fiercely competing for wine. He didn't dare to ask how to order food, so he turned to the accountant who settled the bill at the counter.

"Dare to ask the old man, how to order?"

Li Yuan was reciting the abacus formula, and impatiently pointed to the signboard at the door, "The signature dishes are over there. If you are optimistic, go to the kitchen at the back to order the food."

After finishing speaking, he continued to settle accounts, slapped his forehead, his face was filled with annoyance, and he muttered in a low voice: "Where did you recite just now?"

……

The father and son went to the door to look at the menu. The son could read and the father could not. When he heard that a dish cost a tael of silver, the father exclaimed, "Could it be a black shop?"

Who said it was a black shop?There was a loud roar, and the father sat directly on the ground. Looking back, the table that was fighting wine stopped, and the big black-faced man looked at him angrily.

Pulling his son to protect him, the father was shaking like chaff, and hurriedly apologized: "No, no, I..."

"If you want to eat, order quickly, it's full of gourmet food, you won't waste your money." Yu Chigong nodded, turned around and continued drinking.

Seeing that the group of evil stars had been appeased, the man got up with the support of his son.

"Father, the people here are so fierce, why don't we go back?"

"Don't talk, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave without eating."

This man must have been really frightened, and brought his son to the back kitchen cautiously.

Li Yuanying was sitting and resting on the mat at the entrance of the kitchen. When he saw someone coming, he greeted him enthusiastically. After asking, he said that he would have a taste of all the delicious ones. Li Yuanying thought he was a big customer, wait a minute good.

The father and son came back to sit down again, and the son reminded in a low voice: "Father, do you really want to order them all? I saw a dish that costs ten taels of silver."

What?
Why didn't you say it earlier?
Father's face instantly wrinkled into a bitter gourd color, and he thought that I only brought two taels of silver, what should I do later?Shopkeeper Hu, you can kill me.

It turned out that this person was recommended by Shopkeeper Hu.

It's not just him, basically all those who came here today have heard the propaganda of shopkeeper Hu directly or indirectly. This shopkeeper Hu in the alley is very enthusiastic and has always wanted to repay Li Yuanying, but he is not short of money, so he thought of helping him Publicize the tavern to increase popularity.

Besides, the spectators at the door saw the father and son inside suddenly sitting on the ground, making a fuss and talking, is this still a tavern?What's the atmosphere inside?Could it be a black shop?

Originally, seeing this place, they should leave disappointed, or be scared off a lot, but the natural nature of Chinese people likes to be lively, and they prefer to watch the excitement. They are no longer looking forward to eating, and want to see what will happen to the father and son next.

Not long after, Li Yuanying came up with a large tray, two signature dishes, and four ordinary delicacies on his own.

"Huh? Are you just father and son? Why didn't you say it earlier? If that's the case, you can't finish it." Li Yuanying said in surprise.

"We, our first time here, don't know the rules."

Li Yuanying said with a wry smile: "Forget it, let's eat first."

After speaking, he went back to work in the kitchen, smelling the aroma on the table, the son asked, "Father, do you want to eat?"

Where does father have any appetite?My mind is full of how to pay the bill, thinking in my heart, if I don’t eat, don’t I have to pay the bill?Can I return it?
But when I heard the sound of drinking at the next table, I immediately extinguished my thoughts. These people are too fierce, and the dishes are already served, so I am afraid it is impossible to refund them.

So he nodded and said, "Let's eat, I ordered everything, eat quickly, if you want to be full, you'd better finish it."

The son was overjoyed, picked up the chopsticks and started quickly.

Hmm...it's delicious, dad, try it, it's really delicious!The son yelled in surprise.

"You kid at the next table, keep your voice down, don't interfere with our drinking." Yu Chigong shouted.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the child is not sensible, please forgive me." The father hurriedly apologized, then reprimanded his son, and dubiously took a small piece of fish into his mouth.

This taste... absolutely amazing!
So the curious audience outside the tavern saw a puzzling scene, what happened?It was almost beaten just now, and it tasted so delicious in the blink of an eye?What is the mystery in this tavern?
A bold diner was moved: "Why don't you go in and try?"

"Go together? Try it?"

go!
go!
