Chapter 71 Inn
Chapter 71: The Inn
Although the mountain road is rugged, there is also a muddy path for horse-drawn carriages.

This road was guided by Xi Yulong, and it is a shortcut to Qishan.

After the rain, the mountain forest is filled with dense mist.

After the new rain in the empty mountains, the nose is full of the fragrance of soil and the fragrance of grass and trees.

Before evening, several people left Qinchang Mountain.

After the carriage returned to the wide official road, the speed also increased a lot.

Driving all the way south, but only twenty or thirty miles away, they entered a small town.

The town is located between Qinchang Mountain and Qishan Mountain. As long as you pass the town, you can enter the Qishan Mountains.

Baili Huanzhu opened the curtain, looked at the getting dark outside, and said to Zhao Quan: "Old Zhao, it's getting late now, let's stay in Qixia Town first, we should be able to get home tomorrow."

Zhao Quan looked at the red sun in the west, although he wanted to rush to the Qishan faction as soon as possible, but it was not too late, so he nodded and accepted Baili Huanzhu's suggestion.

The town is not big, there is only one inn.

Zhao Quan turned over and got out of the car, and walked into the inn with a burly figure.

At this time, there were almost no guests in the inn, and the boy was sitting bored at the elm table in the lobby, fiddling with rags.

Suddenly, I felt a shadow covering the only sunlight in the evening, making my eyes dark.

Looking up, I saw a burly man wearing a dark red cloak walking straight into the lobby.

He hurriedly went up to meet him, and said, "Guest officer, do you want to stay at the top or stay in the hotel?"

Zhao Quan looked around and said, "Four people, three rooms, get some food as soon as possible."

The boy said, "That's great!"

Then he shouted to the back kitchen: "Cook, here comes the guest!"

At this time, Baili Huanzhu and Xi Yulong also walked into the inn.

Baili Huanzhu said: "Go and feed our horses, we want the best fodder."

Talking, throwing something.

The young man stretched out his hand and grabbed it directly in his hand.

It's exactly one tael of silver.

Baili Huanzhu said: "Your reward."

The servant immediately beamed with joy and said: "You are welcome, I will go right away."

After finishing speaking, he ran out of the inn and led the carriage to the stables.

As soon as I left here, I saw a charming woman coming down from the second floor.

It looks about 28 nine, graceful.

She smiled and said, "I'm the proprietress here, if you guys have anything to do, just call me."

Just as Zhao Quan and the others sat down at the elm table, the cook in the back kitchen ran out and said, "What would you like to eat?"

The cook is a little fat, and seems to be more confident in his craft.

Zhao Quan said: "Give me a pot of good wine and some of your restaurant's specialty dishes."

The cook said: "Hey, there are many special dishes in our shop, such as Kung Pao Chicken, Beef Tenderloin with Spiced Pepper, Stir-fried Kidneys, and Charcoal Grilled Sow's Trotters."

The proprietress was beside her and said unwillingly, "There are still fat intestines."

Baili Huanzhu waved his hand, and said: "Yes. Except for the charcoal-grilled sow's trotters, let's serve all the others. Hurry up, I'm going to starve to death."

As soon as the proprietress heard this, she knew that the person who came today was the master who was not short of money.

He quickly drove the cook back to the back kitchen.

"Hurry up and cook, I want our distinguished guests to starve."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Quan and said with a smile on his face, "Sit down first, and I'll pour you some wine."

The cook is not slow in cooking, and in a short while, the dishes on the table are enriched.

Baili Huanzhu smelled it and showed a positive expression.

There were almost no guests in the inn, and the proprietress seemed to have nothing to do, so she spoke to the side: "How is it? Does it suit your appetite?"

Baili Huanzhu picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of beef tenderloin, put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it lightly, and said, "Not bad, but it would be better if we could add a little less salt."

The proprietress immediately said: "This dead cook put too much salt, don't worry, I will definitely discipline him later."

Xi Yulong smiled slightly, waved his hands and said, "No problem."

Then he said to Shangguan Xuan next to him: "Xuan'er, you are starving too, eat quickly."

Shangguan Xuan said: "Yulong, you."

Xi Yulong smiled and said, "My injury is much better, I can do it myself."

Seeing that his complexion had indeed recovered a lot, Shangguan Xuan nodded reassuringly.

Zhao Quan filled a glass of wine for himself, and frowned slightly after smelling it.

He is used to drinking the Tianxiang fine wine in Qianshan City, and when he is away from home, he only drinks the fine wine from Li Feishen Tavern, and the fine wine from Zuili Xianzhong in Jin'an City, which can satisfy Zhao Quan.

He said to the proprietress: "Madam proprietress, everyone else is mixing water with wine, so you can be regarded as mixing wine with water?"

The proprietress was told by Zhao Quan, she covered her mouth with embarrassment and smiled, and said, "Oh, look at what you said, the guest officer, we are a small business, so it's not easy."

"Since I met an expert today, it seems that if I don't show some treasures, it's not justified."

Saying that, the proprietress turned back to the counter and dug out a jug of wine from inside.

Put it on the elm table, uncover the cloth, and suddenly a scent of wine wafts out.

Zhao Quan nodded slightly and said, "It's not bad, at least it's a flower carving for more than ten years."

Unexpectedly, just as Zhao Quan finished speaking, he saw the boy who had gone to feed the horses rushing back from the outside, shouting: "I have treasured the Huadiao wine for a year and I am not willing to drink it!"

Then he said angrily to the proprietress: "Where did you find it for me?"

The proprietress rolled her eyes, and said in a bad mood: "I'll drink it for you, it's better to sell it for some money. Since autumn, there are fewer and fewer customers here, and our shop is struggling to make ends meet!"

Xi Yulong didn't expect that such an accident would happen because of a jar of wine, and said with a smile: "Since it's this brother's wine, then we won't take love away."

Before the words finished, Zhao Quan said, "The money is here."

Then he took out another wine glass and said to the boy, "Drink together?"

The young man was quite thick-skinned, and when he heard Zhao Quan's proposal, he didn't shy away and sat down in front of everyone.

The proprietress didn't seem to be able to control him, seeing this, she just shook her head, but didn't say anything else.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

This young man is clever enough and has a lot of knowledge, so it is a pleasure to talk with everyone.

It was getting late outside, and the proprietress had already opened rooms for several people.

At this moment, a person was suddenly seen walking out of the night.

This person is wearing gray cloth clothes, with a stooped figure, looks quite old, with many folds on his face stacked together.

He went straight into the inn.

Surprise flashed in the boy's eyes, he didn't expect two groups of strangers to come here one after another today.

With a slightly drunken smell, he hurriedly went up to him and said, "Is the guest officer a top-notch or a hotel?"

The man raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at him, and said hoarsely like a crow: "I'm looking for someone."

The boy asked suspiciously, "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

The man said indifferently: "Xi Yulong."
