The dry season in Gulong City is the most unbearable, and the space seems to be distorted by the scorching heat.

The streets were empty. People were chatting in teahouses and restaurants to escape the summer heat. Even the old guard dog lay on the floor and was too lazy to stick out his tongue.

At this time, the sound of a creaking carriage came from the distance.

Perhaps because the carriage was in disrepair and the sound was too harsh, the old dog at the door rolled impatiently and rolled to a secluded corner to continue sleeping.

The carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant. The man pulling the carriage was not a mule, but a thin young man named Li Zhanlong. Because his father lost the family's only valuable Daqing mule in the casino the day before yesterday, he had to be pulled by a horse. He pulled the cart instead of the mule.

Li Zhanlong was tall and handsome, but his stained coarse clothes and chicken coop-like hair made him look very sloppy.

Li Zhanlong removed the rope from his shoulders, and the blood marks on his shoulders could be vaguely seen through the thin coarse shirt.

"Boss, the wine you want..."

"Hey! Get out! Get out!"

Li Zhanlong was stunned. He didn't understand why the other party wanted to kick him out, so he quickly explained: "Boss, I am the one delivering wine to you from Liji Winery. You..."

"Let you go out! Stand outside the door! Why can't you understand people?"

Seeing the angry look on the restaurant owner's face, Li Zhanlong quickly retracted the foot he had just stepped into the doorway.

"Stay away from me! Smell the smell of sweat on your body! You are not allowed to step into the restaurant next time!"

The restaurant owner looked disgusted and flapped his hand at the door twice to prevent the smell of sweat from entering his restaurant.

Li Zhanlong accompanied Smiley Face and hurriedly unloaded the drinks in the car to the door. Although he was thin and small, he worked very quickly.

"Boss, fifteen jars of sake and twenty jars of soju have been delivered to you. Please count them." Li Zhanlong said with a respectful smile.

"The numbers are wrong! What I want is twenty jars of sake and fifteen jars of soju! How do you do things like this? You can't even remember the numbers!"

"I remember you before..."

"You pig brain can't remember anything! On such a hot day, how could I ask for more soju than sake? Have you ever grown a brain?"

Li Zhanlong didn't argue any more. He clenched his fists hard and tried to stay calm. Then he tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, "Maybe I really remembered it wrong. I'll go home and replenish the amount of sake for you." superior."

"What's the use of going back now? The customers in my shop can't wait for a long time! I asked you to deliver several jars of wine, as slow as a tortoise! ​​Do you, Liji Winery, still want to do business?" The boss said fiercely.

"Then...what do you think we should do?"

Li Zhanlong has been trying his best to control his emotions. He told himself that he could not lose this business, otherwise the family would really be unable to open the door!

"It's not easy for you to pull a cart on a hot day, so I'll just do it. I won't argue with you for now. I want all your soju, but these five bottles of soju must be calculated according to the price of sake!"

The restaurant owner has already made a plan. He can save dozens of pennies by doing this, and the other party will only suffer this dumb loss, otherwise he won't make a penny at all!

Although Li Zhanlong was angry, if there was a stalemate, he would not be able to do business with this restaurant in the future. Although he had made dozens of pennies less now, he could still buy some rice and noodles for his family, so that the whole family would not go hungry.

"Okay, just do as you say." Life is not easy, and Li Zhanlong can only bow to life.

"That's right! Be smarter next time! Don't remember the wrong amount like a pimple. This is your two strings of wine money. Count it yourself!"

Just as Li Zhanlong stretched out his hands to take the drink money, the restaurant owner threw two strings of copper coins onto the street.

The untied hemp rope broke instantly, and two strings of copper plates were scattered on the ground.

At this time, the restaurant owner sneered and said, "What an idiot! You can't even handle the money. You deserve to be poor!"

At this moment, even the old dog at the door stuck out his tongue at Li Zhanlong. It looked like he was mocking!

Li Zhanlong tightened his lips and bent down to pick up the copper plates on the ground one by one.

At this moment, a black scale boot embroidered with gold thread stepped on the copper plate he was about to pick up.

"Master, you accidentally stepped on the villain's coin, please show your respect!"

Although Li Zhanlong did not raise his head, he knew that someone who could wear such expensive boots was definitely unusual, so he immediately asked the other party to give way in a low voice.

"Who are you calling uncle? You should call me aunt!"

Li Zhanlong was startled when he heard this, because the voice that came from this moment was actually a girl's voice like a silver bell!

Li Zhanlong couldn't help but raise his head, but before he could see the other party's appearance clearly, he was slapped by the other party and was stunned!

"Dirty!"

On a hot day, Li Zhanlong was already a little dizzy due to hunger, but now he was suddenly slapped by the other party. His whole head suddenly started buzzing, and it took him a long time to regain his senses!

Then Li Zhanlong realized that there was a girl about his age standing in front of him.

The other party wore a black veil to protect the sun, black leather armor and a leather skirt. His slender arms and thighs were not tanned due to being exposed to the sun, and they still looked fair and flawless.

It's just that the other party's skirt is really too short. From the angle where Li Zhanlong was squatting just now, he could indeed see a glimmer of spring, but he really didn't see anything just now!This slap was really unfair!

"Girl, I didn't mean to offend you, and I really didn't see anything just now!"

Although Li Zhanlong was angry, he couldn't argue with a wealthy daughter.

"Shut up! If you keep nagging me, I'll cut out your tongue!"

The girl threatened in a cold voice, and then said to the restaurant owner at the door: "Boss, prepare a table of good food and wine for me! And I like to be clean, so you can kick out all the idle people in the restaurant immediately!"

"Oh, I'm afraid this is not easy to handle! Everyone has already paid!" the boss said with a smile.

"Don't worry, you won't be short of money! Is one gold ingot enough?" The girl casually showed a palm-sized gold ingot, which stunned the restaurant owner instantly!

"Ouch! That's enough! Just wait! I'll get rid of all the idlers right now!"

The owner of the restaurant immediately stood at the door and shouted loudly: "Everyone! Everyone! Our restaurant has been booked by a distinguished guest! Please move elsewhere temporarily! Come back tomorrow! All the money for today's food and drinks is free for everyone!"

"Boss Chen, what kind of distinguished guest is this big? We have just started eating! Who wants to bask in the sun on a hot day!"

"Sorry, sorry! You guys hurry up and pack the food for the guests to take away! And give each table a pot of soju!"
