The old wolf is always jealous

The morning glow shines on thousands of homes. In the early spring, it is always warm and cold, and the shouts of vendors gradually sounded in Baihua Street, as well as their conversations about entertaining guests.

On the third floor of the Anran Inn, where the door was closed, a window was pushed open, and people could be vaguely seen moving inside.

After Chen An finished washing, he walked barefoot on the thick woolen carpet, and opened the delicate curtain made of bamboo beads connected in series.Step into the living room, push open a row of connected casements one after another, and stand by the window.

Far away from the treacherous vortex of life and death in Beijing, everything I see is particularly beautiful.

The Anran Inn used to be the largest restaurant in Fengling Town. The original owner's business couldn't continue due to bad times, so he intends to move his family to Shangjing with his family.After Chen An arrived in Fengling Town, he took down the restaurant and renamed it Anran Inn.

The Anran Inn has three floors, the first floor is for dining, the second floor provides accommodation in five rooms, and the entire third floor was converted by Chen An as his living place.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.As a young master of a family for 20 years, I really don't like to wrong myself in terms of living.

From the inside is the living room, and there is a row of bookshelves outside the bead curtain, which are full of books.There is a bookcase in front of the bookshelf, and under the inkstone is a piece of unfinished calligraphy yesterday.A soft couch is placed by the window for resting on weekdays, and there is a low rectangular coffee table in front of the soft couch.

On the other side of the living room is a row of antique racks, on which some bonsai and antiques are scattered.Behind the bogu shelf are two landscape embroidered screens, which completely separate the living room and make it an independent washroom.

In this weather, because the living room and the interior are covered with woolen carpets, it doesn't feel cold to step on them with bare feet.

After admiring the scene on the street, Chen An went inside and changed into a white shirt with blue trim on the cuffs and collar.He looked suave and courteous, if one could ignore the horrific scar on his face.

Pushing open the door of the living room, what comes into view is a square terrace of about ten square meters.The terrace is surrounded by railings, and the pots and jars are neatly placed around the railings. In the center of the terrace is a prototype porcelain vat of about five or six square meters. The bottom of the porcelain vat is still surrounded by bottles and jars.

Chen An picked up the small bowl on the small round table next to the porcelain vat, put his fingers into the bowl, twitched some of the remaining bait from last night, and threw it into the porcelain vat, and a few red shadows came out from under the water lily leaves.

The height of the fish tank is just above the knee, and the pebbles at the bottom of the tank are clearly visible.After teasing the koi for a while, Chen An walked to the other side of the terrace and went down the stairs.From the corner of his eyes, he saw tender green sprouts emerging from the flower pot under the railing of the stairs, and couldn't help but smile.

Ordinary carpets, ordinary antique ornaments, ordinary koi, ordinary plants, ordinary ordinary perilla, these are exactly what he wants.

Go down the stairs directly to the small courtyard behind the Anran Inn, the courtyard is fairly spacious once you enter.The original staircase was connected to the second floor. Chen An asked someone to change it to a separate path, which is more convenient and prevents guests from entering the third floor by mistake.

There are three wing rooms on the left side of the small courtyard, and there are four main rooms facing the inn.Two of them are used by Chen An to make wine, and the one on the right is the kitchen, utility room and firewood room.

Chen An went into the kitchen and put the half fish left over from yesterday into a pot to steam it hot, then ordered a bowl of noodles and was about to finish it.After everything was tidied up, he walked to the front and opened the door of the inn.

Three days later, the red paper pasted on the wall was turned upside down by the spring breeze.At present, people in Fengling Town are busy with farm work, and shopkeepers of various shops in the town are also busy going to the state capital to buy goods.Therefore, Chen An has not received a single business until now, and no one cares about the recruitment notices.

But Chen An wasn't in a hurry, he brought enough silver when he left Beijing, so he could save some expenses, and he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life.

It's just that I'm afraid that if something happens, it's good to make a living and earn some income, and the wine he brews must not worry about not being sold!

Su opened the window of the lobby with a stick in his hand. There were a total of twenty tables and chairs in the lobby. Three steps away from the window, there were two tables against the wall. On the table are jugs, wine grapes, funnels and other things.

If there is a guest who does not eat or stay but only buys wine, he only needs to yell at the window to buy wine, which is much more convenient.

The counter is on the other side of the door, and there is no window next to it.Chen An brought hot water from the kitchen and wiped the inside and outside of the lobby.Seeing that it was still early, he sat on the teacher's chair behind the counter and read idle books.

The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy ran all the way, as if he was rushing to do something, suddenly slipped his feet, and fell to the ground, "Ouch!"

Chen Anzheng was reading the fairytale script with great enthusiasm, and suddenly heard the sound of a child falling outside the inn.He closed the storybook, frowned and got up to check.Although the folk customs of Fengling Town are fairly simple, there are unavoidable troublesome people.Falling right under his nose early in the morning, could it be that he is a prodigy?

"Which wicked ghost did this? It was so cold and poured water on the ground, causing the young master to fall. How wicked, how wicked!" The boy rubbed his knees and got up from the ground, patting the water off his body Stains, clothes wet by water can't be patted dry, it's cold to wear wet clothes today!

The young man pursed his lips, stared angrily at the signboard of the Anran Inn above his head, and greeted all the people in the Anran Inn in his heart!

When the young man was feeling angry, a man with a scar on his face suddenly appeared in front of him, staring at him uncertainly!

"Mother! Where, where is the monster! In broad daylight, the sky is bright, you, you, don't mess around!" The young man backed away in horror, as if he had seen a ghost!

Chen An touched the scar on his face, the hideous scar looked really ugly and terrifying in the mirror, and he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.Everyone has a love for beauty. A few months ago, he was so handsome that everyone in Beijing praised him.But all of this is his choice, since he has chosen this look, he has to get used to it.

Chen An paused, trying his best to look approachable.There is a trace of moss at the boy's feet, combined with the recent weather, it is known that the other party really fell. "Don't be afraid, I'm not a monster. The snow on the roof melted and flowed down, and you fell. There is no injury. There is a doctor on the next street. I will take you there!"

When the young man saw that the other party spoke human words, he knew that the other party was not a monster.It's really not that he is cowardly, he is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of those monsters and goblins!

After confirming that the other party was not a monster, the boy gradually relaxed.As soon as a person relaxes, courage follows him.Glancing at the red paper and black writing on the wall next to it, I got an idea when I rolled my eyes!

Exaggeratedly rubbing his aching knee, pretending to be in pain but desperately enduring it, he frowned and asked, "Hiss, it hurts me to death! Shopkeeper, what is that thing you posted on the wall?" ah?"

"Red paper." Chen An turned around and went into the store to withdraw money from the counter. It seemed that the boy was seriously injured.

The young man froze for a moment, and exclaimed angrily like a cat with its hair blown out: "Of course I know it's red paper, but I'm asking what's written on the red paper? The shopkeeper, are you bullying me that I'm shabby and can't read!"

When Chen An took out the money, he saw the young man angrily accusing him, and he didn't look like he was injured at all.Putting the money into the sleeve, he looked at the boy and said, "Do you want to work here?"

The boy stiffened his neck and put on a domineering look, "So what, that's why I asked you what was written on it! Although I can't read, don't, I can still do other jobs!"

As if realizing that he needed something from others, the boy's voice became softer as he spoke.

Chen An said lightly, "Your leg doesn't hurt anymore?"

Reminded by Chen An, the young man remembered his original intention, so he covered his knees in pain, and looked at Chen An hesitantly.

Chen An folded his arms around the boy twice and asked, "Can you cook?"

The young man endured the pain and shook his head, and posted a red and black letter in front of the inn door, which is not recruitment, but what else!His intention is obvious, that is to ask the shopkeeper to give him a job because he fell in front of the inn and was seriously injured!

These days, he has risked everything for his wages!If the shopkeeper doesn't know what's going on, don't blame him for being "cruel and merciless"!

Chen An didn't understand something, and said with a smile: "I'm short of a cleaning guy here. You can neither read nor cook. This job is suitable for you."

The young man opened his eyes and shouted: "It's true! The shopkeeper really asked me to stay and work! My name is Liu Chuer, and the shopkeeper can call me Chu Er from now on!"

"You don't pretend your knee hurts anymore? Hehe, the monthly salary is [-] Wen, including food and housing. If you start working today, you will get an extra day's salary at the end of the month." Now that spring is starting, every household is busy with spring plowing, Liu Chuer But he came out to work at this time.Either the family was anxiously waiting to use the money, or lost an important person in the snowstorm and came out to make a living.

No matter what, Chen An didn't want to embarrass him.

Now Liu Chuer scratched his head in embarrassment, "Hey, you know all about the shopkeeper! Two hundred Wen per month, you also get food and accommodation here! I can go to work now, and I'll give it to you Sweep the floor!"

Liu Chuer sneaked into the hall, into the backyard, fetched a basin of water, found a rag, took it to the hall and wiped it carefully!

After three days of recruiting, someone finally came.Chen An didn't want to discourage Liu Chuer's enthusiasm for work, so he held back the words that had just been wiped by the table and chairs.

Liu Chuer was almost overjoyed, finding a job is not easy these days!I was in a hurry to go to the county to find a job before, so I accidentally fell at the door of the Anran Inn, which was recruiting workers!Could it be that God was helping him, so that he met a shopkeeper who looked very good!

Although the shopkeeper's appearance is a bit scary, the wages given by the shopkeeper are not low, not worse than those in the county!The most important thing is that Fengling Town is close to home. After work at night, I have to go back.If the brothers on the mountain knew that he had sneaked out, they would definitely die in panic!

Although the early spring is cold, there is always some warmth in the sun.

Liu Chuer cleaned up the entire inn, ate the lunch made by Chen An himself, ate and drank enough, and lay down on the table.The midday sun shone through the window, making him drowsy.

When the eyelids were about to close completely, a black figure caught his gaze deeply, and then a sweet voice like pearls and jade came out, "Excuse me, shopkeeper, can you still hire a cook here?"

The author has something to say: Chen An: It's only been three days since the shop opened, and it's normal that there's no business.
