The accounting counter of Huanxi Inn is facing the entrance of the store, and the street is full of people coming and going every day.It didn't take long for Lu Tang to learn how to count beads. Hong Xi'er used to manage the inn's accounts in person, and it was fairly well organized, so it didn't take much effort for her to take over.Lu Tang, who has adapted to the job in this way, stands behind the counter and looks at the passers-by on the street in his free time, observing the local customs and customs.Everyone in the inn performs their own duties. They are busy during the day and rest at night, so they can live a fulfilling and comfortable life.

At noon this day, the store was gradually filled with customers as usual.The turmoil of catching the fugitive passed away slowly. Although Lu Tang didn't understand why the gang in the capital went after the black-clothed swordsman together in the end, she did escape because of this. She had to lament that ancient technology was underdeveloped There is also the advantage of being underdeveloped, otherwise she would not reveal her secrets every minute if she randomly compared her fingerprints to test her DNA.

"Yo! Shopkeeper Li is here."

Wang Qi greeted the guests in the front hall, when he saw Li, the shopkeeper of Silk and Satin Zhuang, hurried forward to greet him and said, "What do you want to eat today?"

"The third one, add a jug of wine."

"Come on! We invite you here, but you haven't come for a while."

"Isn't it? A few days ago, there was a lot of fuss about arresting fugitives. It's hard to survive." Shopkeeper Li said as he walked in. When he came in, he found a strange face standing behind the counter. Where is the shopkeeper?"

"Oh, the inner hall of our shopkeeper."

After sitting down and raising his teacup, shopkeeper Li narrowed his small eyes towards the counter, "New buddy?"

Wang Qi followed his gaze and replied, "Yes, our shopkeeper's distant cousin suffered a disaster at home, so he came here to earn a living."

Shopkeeper Li nodded and sighed: "Yes, this year is not good, and there are many things."

"Yeah, even our town almost suffered disaster." Wang Qi sighed, and then thought of the happy event a few days ago and said casually: "Fortunately, things are over now, and the marriage of the county magistrate's family can also be scheduled. Held."

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Li waved his hand after hearing this, shook his head and said: "Don't mention it, I went to the county master's house to deliver the cloth yesterday, but in the end, the Huaiyang cook hired by the mansion was made a fuss about arresting people in the town , the famous chef quit, and returned to his hometown in Huaiyang. Nowadays, the court is arresting people and making trouble everywhere, and no famous chef is willing to come, and a marriage has been delayed like this."

"Hey! If you don't have a cook, you can't hold a banquet. What's the matter?"

"Who says it's not? I don't know if it's a long-term success or something evil. This marriage is not going well."

While the two were talking, two people came in from outside the door. The leader was a middle-aged man with a short beard and a Confucian robe. When he entered the door, he said to Lu Tang, "My little brother, is your shopkeeper here?"

Lu Tangyi was watching the chat between Wang Qi and the fat shopkeeper. Hearing this, he glanced at him, and then gave Wang Qi a signal look, "My shopkeeper is here. May I ask what you can do with her?"

Wang Qi heard the commotion and was about to talk to him when he heard shopkeeper Li clapping his hands behind him: "Oh! Butler Zhao, why are you here? You came here for a drink too? Come on, we happened to be together today. My treat."

The man who was called Steward Zhao waved his hand quickly, then clasped his fist slightly at Shopkeeper Li and said, "So it's Shopkeeper Li, I appreciate your kindness, but I still have some errands to do today, and I'll take care of it when I have free time in the future." Have a drink." After finishing speaking, he said to the two people in front of him: "I am the housekeeper of the Ruan Mansion, and I have something to discuss with your shopkeeper Hong."

The two of them looked at each other, who could be called the Ruan Mansion and make Shopkeeper Li so respectful, except for Ruan County Magistrate?Wang Qi hurriedly made a gesture of invitation to Steward Zhao, "Sit inside, Steward Zhao, and call my shopkeeper." After finishing speaking, he turned to Lu Tang and raised his eyebrows: "Please come out, the shopkeeper." Lu Tang After a while, he turned and entered the inner hall.Needless to say, Wang Qi served tea and snacks carefully. As soon as Lu Tang entered the inner hall, he saw Hong Xier was sewing something inside. Hearing what she said, he hurriedly put down his work and began to do his makeup and hair. Follow to the lobby.

"Uncle Zhao, long time no see, San Niang greets you."

When I came to the lobby and saw Butler Zhao, Hong Xier gave a salute, and shopkeeper Li asked beside him, "Do you know each other?"

Butler Zhao smiled and stroked his short beard, "My wife met Sanniang's mother, the last time I saw you was..." At this point, Butler Zhao paused, and continued: "After many years, Sanniang Your mother is now a big girl, I heard that you have managed the inn very well."

Hong Xier responded with a smile: "It's also thanks to everyone who takes care of you on weekdays. Just now I heard from the staff that Uncle Zhao came to talk to me about something?"

Seeing Hong Xi'er feeling emotional, Steward Zhao said softly, "That's right, my lady's wedding is coming soon, but because of the chaos that happened in the town recently, the chef I invited has returned to his hometown. But the wedding is coming and I dare not If you delay any longer, the master will let me find some good cooks in ten miles and eight towns, and I will think of you, isn’t the craftsmanship of Huanxi Inn the only one in our town that is famous for it.”

Shopkeeper Li: "Oh! That's a good thing! Cook Yu's craftsmanship is one of the best in all towns, and the cook Guo from the town next door is also very good. It's just a good time to form a team."

Butler Zhao smiled: "I think so too, San Niang, what do you think?"

Hong Xi'er naturally had no objection, "It's our honor to be able to cook a wedding banquet for the county grandpa's house, but I don't know how many days it will take, so I can let the cook prepare it in advance."

Butler Zhao: "The eighth day of next month is the regular day, so prepare one day in advance, and the three-day running table will be paid according to the usual daily rate."

Hong Xi'er was slightly surprised when she heard this: "Well, it's also our good fortune to help the county magistrate's family, so why do we get such a high salary?"

"Hey, after inviting your cook, your shop will have to rest for a day, and the rest of the money will be used to compensate for your loss." Shopkeeper Zhao said and stood up, "This matter is settled? "

"Of course, the magistrate and Uncle Zhao take such good care of us, what else can we say?"

"It's easy to say, that's fine, I'll take my leave first."

Seeing people wanting to leave, Hong Xi'er hurriedly stopped her and said, "Uncle Zhao, let's go after eating. Although my niece here has some thin wine and small dishes, the taste is not bad. You should try it too." Then she told Wang Qi next to her: " Brother Qi, ask Cook Yu to cook some special dishes."

Butler Zhao waved his hand, "No, I have to go find Mrs. Guo, after all, Ma'am is still waiting for my reply, so don't bother me today." He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over, "This It's a menu for a wedding banquet, so let the cook cook according to the dishes on the day."

Hong Xi'er took the menu and thanked Housekeeper Zhao before seeing him off.As soon as Butler Zhao left, shopkeeper Li cupped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper Hong, congratulations."

Hong Xi'er accepted the menu and asked Wang Qi to pour tea, "Shopkeeper Li, you are very polite."

"Oh, let's not talk about the county lord, the groom is also a military guard of the eighth rank. At that time, not only the officials, gentry and celebrities from ten miles and eight villages, but also many civil servants and military officials from all over the world will come. At that time, let's talk about the food during the banquet It’s from your Huanxi Inn, so the reputation will be even louder.”

After hearing this, Hong Xi'er just smiled, and told Wang Qi to serve a pot of Nurhong to Li's shopkeeper, and it was her invitation.Just now after Butler Zhao finished speaking, she thought of it, even if she didn't pay for this matter, she still had to go, not to mention the reward was so generous.

When night fell, Hong Xier ordered Wang Qi to close the shop early, and Lu Tangyi had already cleared the accounts for the day. At first, she was still following each other, but now she felt relieved seeing people getting started so quickly. , only glance at the account flow at the end of each day.

"Shopkeeper, today's turnover is 620 yuan, excluding the cost of 380 yuan, earning 240 yuan. The income is much worse than before, but it is much better than the previous two days, and you also gave the shopkeeper Li a pot of daughter red ...I think in a few days our business will be back to normal.”

Hong Xi'er took the account book and looked it over, she found that Lu Tangyi was really smart, and it was not so easy to settle the accounts, apart from being smart, the more important thing was to be careful, these people in the store even Wang Qi used to make mistakes, Lu Tang has only been here for a few days, not only has he completely mastered it, but even his handwriting is getting better and better every day.

"The account is done well."

Hong Xier couldn't help praising her. Lu Tang, who was being praised, didn't say anything but smiled shyly, thinking: Fortunately, I believed in the evil of learning mathematics, physics and chemistry well when I was young.

"Miss San, are you looking for me?"

The two were reconciling accounts behind the counter, and Yu Ling, who had finished working in the kitchen, came in and saw this scene of "a concubine's love", and couldn't help but start to mutter again.

Seeing her coming, Hong Xi'er put down the account book, "Lingchu, I have something to tell you."

As soon as Lu Tang found out that these two days, this gentle and virtuous sister Yu loves to stare at her whenever she gets a chance, she will not be narcissistic and think that Yu Ling fell in love with her secretly when she saw her handsome at first, it was just that probing and looking at her His gaze always made her suspect that her identity might not be exposed, right?Yu Lingchu discovered that she was a girl?

"Sister Yu."

"Hey, Tang Yi."

The two greeted each other, and as soon as Lu Tang packed up the pen and paper in front of him, he said to Hong Xi'er, "Boss, I'm going back to my room if I have nothing to do."

"Well, there should be supper in the kitchen. If you're hungry, go and eat by yourself."

"Hey, thank you shopkeeper."

As soon as Lu Tang left, Hong Xier glanced at Yu Lingchu, smiled lightly and said, "Okay, my sister Yu, what kind of eyes do you have?"

Yu Ling gave her a first glance, and then said with concern: "Sanniang, tell me the truth, are you..." Saying that, she raised her head in the direction where Lu Tang had just left, "Huh? "

Seeing her serious appearance, Hong Xier wanted to laugh: "Am I something?"

"Tsk! Do you have thoughts about Tang Yi, huh?" She said in a very low voice, as if she was afraid that someone would ruin Hong Xi'er's reputation.

"Pfft! Hahahaha."

Really couldn't help laughing out loud, Hong Xier buried her face in the fan and couldn't straighten up.

"You girl!"

Originally wanted to say a few words about her, but seeing the other party laughing like this, Yu Lingchu couldn't help laughing too. After the old shopkeeper left, she hadn't seen Sanniang so happy for a long time.

After the two had laughed enough, Hong Xier wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, "Oh, my sister Yu, you can really think about it, how do you see this?"

When Yu Ling first heard her say that, she asked suspiciously, "You don't like Tang Yi?"

"Hmm..." Thinking of Lu Tang's cute and shy appearance at times, he is really cute, "That's not true." Seeing the other party's eyes widening again, Hong Xier hurriedly continued Said: "But it's not the kind of liking you think, I only treat her as a younger brother." Well, it should actually be a younger sister.

Seeing that the other party still had a look of disbelief, Hong Xier simply stopped explaining, and instead took out the menu that Butler Zhao gave her during the day.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I came here to discuss something important with you. Lingchu, you may become famous."
