life in ancient gods

Chapter 117 Double Happiness
three days later

The weather was fine and the sky was blue.

There was a torrential rain last night, and a cloud of auspicious clouds floated over Jinling City this morning.

After the war, Jinling City is like a rainbow after the rain, gradually restoring its former prosperity.

The bustling market is full of traffic, bustling and noisy. Today is the day when Su Ping'an's Fulai Inn and Fuhai Restaurant opened at the same time.

Both Fulai Inn and Fuhai Restaurant are located in the bustling area of ​​Jinling's East City, and the two shops are facing each other, so on the opening day today, this street is extremely noisy and lively, with firecrackers firing and crowds of people.

Fuhai Restaurant is one of the top ten restaurants in Jinling City. It has three floors of attics. Although it is not as luxuriously decorated as Fulai Inn, nor is it as luxurious as Fulai Inn, its business is no worse than that of Fulai Inn.

The shopkeeper of this Fuhai restaurant is Zhao Buzhu. After all, Zhao Buzhu can be regarded as a veteran of Su Pingan, and Su Pingan still trusts Zhao Buzhu, a veteran.

It's just that the restaurant is busier than the inn. There is a waiter and a bartender on each floor of the restaurant, and there are three waiters, three bartenders and three cleaners who clean up the tables.

But Su Pingan didn't need to pay them wages, because they were all slaves that Su Pingan bought from the slave market.

These slaves only cost Su Pingan 30 taels of silver, and they are relatively smart. Zhao Buzhu just told them how to do it, and these slaves understood it.

It's just that in the large kitchen of a restaurant, you must hire a famous and experienced chef to take charge of the dishes, cook and help, as long as you have some experience.

Fuhai Restaurant was full of bustle and bustle, Xiaoer was greeting the inn who came in, and the bartender was serving wine and dishes to the guests with a tray, looking impressive.

Fulai Inn is one of the largest inns in Jinling City. It has five floors of attics, decorated with carved railings and jade bricks, green tiles and vermilion tiles, luxurious and luxurious.

Su Pingan, the shopkeeper of this Fuhai Inn, handed over to his younger sister Su Pingyue to take care of it. Su Pingyue is also fifteen or sixteen years old this year, and she is considered a big girl in this era.

Seeing that this little girl was running around in Jinling City all day long, Su Pingan might as well find an errand for this little girl.

Although my younger sister Su Pingyue doesn't know how to manage a large inn, but no one is born with everything, and Su Ping'an doesn't expect the Fulai Inn to make money as soon as it opens, it's better to let my younger sister Su Pingyue learn how to do it Business, be a qualified inn proprietress.

The waiter of Fulai Inn, the handyman, and the chef are still the old buddies of the former Yunxuan Inn. In addition, they also recruited two cleaners to clean the rooms of the inn, and two more helpers in the back kitchen.

In front of the lobby counter on the first floor of the Fulai Inn, Su Pingyue, the shopkeeper, was dialing the abacus with one hand, and recording the bills in the account book with a brush in the other hand. It really looked like the same thing.

Wearing a jade crown on his head, a brocade suit, and a pair of black riding boots, Su Pingan strode into the Fulai Inn from the opposite Fuhai Restaurant.

Because the inn is different from the restaurant, the inn is the same as a modern hotel, and only tourists come to stay at night, so the business is relatively light during the day.

Seeing that Su Pingyue was in front of the counter, busy with the accounts, she smiled slightly and stepped forward, "Yue'er, what do you think, can you still handle it?..."

When Yue'er heard Su Pingan's voice, she smiled knowingly, put down the brush in her hand, looked up at Su Pingan, her black and white eyes flashed, and pursed her lips and said: "Brother, taking care of the inn is not fun at all. you're lying……"

She heard her elder brother Su Ping'an say how interesting and good it is to manage the inn, but she was fooled by her elder brother, and she felt aggrieved.

"..." Su Pingan rolled his eyes secretly with a black line on his forehead, and said to his sister Yue'er in front of him, "Yue'er, brother, this is for your own good. You have been running around all day, and now I let you manage it." This inn is for you to learn something, but you treat the big brother's painstaking efforts as a donkey's liver and lungs... hey..."

"...Brother, is that so?" Yue'er was stunned by Su Ping'an, her fair cheeks were slightly red, she lowered her head and looked up at Su Ping'an in embarrassment, and said timidly: "That Yue'er Learn how to manage the inn, Yue'er will definitely not let big brother down."

"Hey, this is my good sister. After a while, the eldest brother will ask the restaurant to cook you a delicious meal." Su Pingan succeeded in fooling his sister, and did not forget to give his sister Yue'er a little sweetness.

Although Fulai Inn also has a back kitchen, the taste of the food here is not the same as that of Fuhai Restaurant. After all, there is a specialization in art. The inn is mainly in charge of the inn, and the restaurant is mainly in charge of eating and drinking. Of course The better the taste of the food and wine, the more guests come to eat, and the more prosperous the business will be.

"Hee hee, brother, um... Yue'er wants to eat grilled squid, spicy chicken wings, and fish balls." Yue'er thought about it and said to Su Ping'an with a smile.

Su Ping'an said with a sassy smile, "Okay! No problem, I'll let the restaurant do it for you."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the Fuhai Restaurant opposite the market.

The business in Fuhai Restaurant is booming, the upstairs and downstairs are full of customers, the waiter, the bartender, and the cleaners are also very busy.

A big man in a brocade robe with a fierce face was standing on the counter in the hall on the first floor, talking to Zhao Buzhu, the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, is your daughter's red mixed with water? Why is it tasteless... You are still waiting for daughter's red, shit..." The big man in brocade robes had a long knife hanging from his waist. The tiger's eyes widened, and he said to Zhao Buzhu angrily.

Zhao Buzhu's heart was beating wildly, "This...how is this possible...Guest officer, if our daughter Hong is mixed with water, will you be so drunk?"

"Who is drunk? That eye of yours saw that Sajia was drunk?" The big man in brocade robe was furious, and he grabbed Zhao Buzhu's collar and lifted Zhao Buzhu abruptly.

Zhao Buzhu was taken aback. His feet flew into the air, and he hurriedly said: "...Hey...Guest officer, I have something to say...Put me down quickly..."

All the guests in the restaurant came towards this side, and Xiao Er was about to come to persuade him.

"Ah... my boss..." At this moment, Zhao Buzhu saw Su Ping'an walking into the restaurant, and shouted happily.

When the man in brocade robes saw what Zhao Buzhu called his boss, he couldn't help but look behind him and saw Su Pingan in brocade robes walking straight towards him. He just passed by Jinling and didn't know Su Pingan.

"Guest officer, please stop!" Su Pingan stepped forward, he didn't want to fight in the restaurant, after all, peace is the most important thing in business, he stepped forward and smiled slightly at the brocade robed man.

"Are you the owner of this restaurant?" The big man in brocade robes looked Su Pingan up and down and put Zhao Buzhu on the ground.

Su Ping'an smiled and said: "I'm right, I don't know if there is any place where the hospitality in this restaurant is not good enough. The guest officer may ask, why bother to make such a fuss?"

The big man in brocade robe didn't go to see Su Ping'an, but looked at the upstairs coldly, and said with a look of superiority: "Yes, that's fine, the Sa family suspects that your daughter's red is mixed with water, you just need to pay the Sa family ten taels of silver." , this matter has never happened in Sajiaben."

This is obviously a troublemaker, Su Ping'an's plain eyes ignited two flames, and he took out a gold waist card from his waist, "Okay, this is ten taels of silver, you can take it, guest officer. "

"...This... This is..." The brocade robed man was overjoyed, he looked down, and when he saw the words on the gold waist card in Su Ping'an's hand, he gasped and froze for a while. His face turned blue and white, and his mouth was slightly bitter.

Among the guests sitting in the lobby of this restaurant, except for business travelers passing by from other places, all of them knew Su Ping'an and General Su.

Seeing that the big man in brocade robe was still arrogant just now, he suddenly became wilted, and his heart was full of disdain.

"It seems that this brocade robed man is going to be unlucky, and it's not good to find someone..."

"That's right, this brocade-robed man didn't ask who owns this restaurant before blackmailing people. He really doesn't have eyes..."

The big man in brocade robe rolled his eyes and said to himself, "I'm really unlucky today. I thought that I could earn a fortune by eating the overlord's meal, but I never thought... ah..."

Su Pingan smiled half-smile, staring at the brocade-robed man playfully, and said calmly, "Don't you want silver? This piece of gold is worth more than silver."

"...The villain dare not..." The muscles on the face of the brocade robed man twitched slightly, a bead of sweat appeared faintly on his forehead, and the cold air came from his back, and he felt his feet go soft, and suddenly, Kneeling in front of Su Ping'an, he kowtowed and said: "... General... General, villains have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, please general, adults don't remember villains' faults, just treat villains as a fart!" Let it go..."

This brocade-robed man knelt on the ground, kowtowed while talking, knowing that a general wanted to kill him, it was only a matter of minutes.

Su Pingan didn't pay attention to the big man in brocade robe at all, but he had to punish him, "I can let you go, but you have to crawl around the city and shout that you will never eat free food again." gone."

"Ah... this..." The big man in brocade robe heard the punishment, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, his face showed hesitation.

Su Pingan looked coldly at the big man in brocade robe kneeling in front of his feet, and said, "Aren't you going to climb? You deliberately caused trouble. According to the court law, now this general can put you in prison, and choose a day to assassinate Cangzhou..."

The big man in brocade robes turned pale with fright when he heard that he was going to Cangzhou. He kowtowed quickly and said, "General, please don't... the villain crawls... the villain crawls now..."

As he said that, he crawled towards the outside of the restaurant, shouting, "The villain will never dare to eat free food again..."

The guests in the lobby of the restaurant couldn't help laughing, pointing and clapping their hands to the big man in brocade robe who was crawling towards the door.

"Hahaha, this person is really to blame..."

"Hmph, let's see if this person dares to eat free food in the future..."

Zhao Buzhu tidied up his wrinkled collar, cupped his hands to Su Ping'an and said, "Boss, thanks for showing up in time, otherwise the little one will suffer a lot..."

Su Pingan smiled indifferently and waved his hands: "Oh, it's just a small matter. By the way, my sister Yue'er is getting hungry. You can order the back chef to make a plate of grilled squid, a plate of spicy chicken wings, and a plate of fish balls. It's done, let Xiao Erduan go to the opposite Fulai Inn."

After finishing speaking, Su Ping'an turned around and walked out of the inn, walking towards the General's Mansion.

"Okay, my boss." Zhao Buzhu hurriedly sent him off, and gave Xiaoer a few words.

General's Mansion, inside the meeting hall.

In front of the long table, Su Ping'an and Ye Chenli sat opposite each other, and there were two cups of tea in front of the table.

Ye Chenli took a sip of tea, his starry eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "Brother, the imperial court's 30 troops will arrive in a few days,... The little brother sent a report that the city of Guangde County is currently empty of troops. Younger brother wants to lead [-] imperial troops to defeat Guangde County first, brother, you can just stay in Jinling."

Su Pingan rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, he pondered for a while, and said to Ye Chenli: "... Well, brother, I feel that since the imperial court's 30 troops are about to arrive, you have Why can't you wait for these few days? I think it's inappropriate for you to go deep into the enemy's line alone with fifty thousand forbidden troops."

A hint of thought appeared in Ye Chenli's eyes. After careful consideration, he felt that Su Ping'an's words were reasonable. If he went deep into the enemy's line with [-] forbidden troops alone, the risk would be very high. Besides, the forbidden army is the treasure of the emperor. If the loss is serious, the emperor will punish him.

"Brother's words are reasonable, so I will wait for a few more days, but if Fangla's bandits are not eliminated for a day, my little brother will have trouble sleeping and eating." Ye Chenli hammered the table, wishing to treat Fangla's bandits as a steamed stuffed bun , give it a bite to eat.

"Brother, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, it will be counterproductive. If you feel depressed, how about we go drink for brother's newly opened Fuhai Restaurant?" Su Pingan said.

"...That's fine." Ye Chenli stood up and said, he also wanted to relax when he was drunk.

In the bustling market, Su Ping'an and Ye Chen walked away.

When the two arrived at Fuhai Restaurant, they saw a familiar figure.

This pretty girl was Li Yinger who hadn't seen her for several days.

Li Yinger was wearing a snow-white gauze tight dress with a graceful figure. When she saw Su Ping'an and Ye Chenli, she stepped forward to say hello.

"My concubine has met General Su, General Ye..." Li Yinger glanced at Su Ping'an shyly, lowered her head, and bowed slightly to Su Ping'an and Ye Chenli.

Ye Chenli knew the relationship between Su Ping'an and Li Yinger, he just nodded and smiled, cupped his hands, and said nothing.

"Miss Li, how are you doing these days?" Su Ping'an smiled slightly and cupped his hands.

Li Yinger raised her head and glanced at Su Ping'an, "General Su, I'm fine. I heard that General Su's restaurant has opened, so I passed by to take a look..."

Su Pingan felt that drinking with two big men is worse than drinking with a beautiful woman, so he smiled at Li Yinger and said, "Since Miss Li is here, how about going to the private room on the third floor to have some wine and food?"

"...General Su, a concubine..." Li Yinger showed hesitation, she actually wanted to sit with Su Ping'an, but she was not as direct as Li Shishi, and she still had a girlish reserve in her bones.
