Half-demon Raising Immortals

Chapter 172 Checkout
Under the golden pagoda.

Yan Ziqiu sat behind the chair with a ruddy complexion.

Lu Tong stood up with a bow.

He vaguely guessed something.

Yan Ziqiu wanted him to help with money.

However, I am a little worried.

It came too fast.

It was only the second time we met, and I was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

All silver is counted.

If you want to make quick money, you can only take it out of other people's pockets.

It's hard to dig, and it makes people hate.

He was a little worried.

Yan Ziqiu took the silver and sold him as a scapegoat.

Yan Ziqiu smiled, and said: "I will come to the mansion often in the future. Go, it's been a busy day, go down and have something to eat."

"Thank you, City Lord."

Lu Tong stepped back.

I chose a clean long table and sat down.

The servant brought a plate of fire-roasted pork, a steamed fish, and two small plates of green vegetables.

And a jug of sake.

After a while.

Another maid came over and put down a cauldron of stewed venison and a pot of spirit wine.

The pork is very fragrant, and the mouth is full of oil in one bite;

The steamed fish is very tender, the fish is good, and the craftsmanship is good, without a trace of fishy smell;
I have been thinking about money today.

I haven't eaten for almost a day, and I didn't feel hungry at first, but after a few mouthfuls of pork, I was immediately aroused.

After a few bites of pork and steamed fish.

He took his spoon and scooped out a piece of venison.

The pink meat looks like it was just cut.

Go down in one bite.

tender.

Tenderer than steamed fish.

There is also a salty milky fragrance.

Soon, everything on the long table was swept away.

Lu Tong licked his lips eagerly.

These dishes are much more delicious than those eaten in small restaurants and big restaurants.

Almost comparable to Crab Lo Mein.

Unfortunately, there are too few.

Not enough to eat.

When he was reminiscing.

The fragrant wind blew, and a figure in red sat across from him.

"You are Lutong?"

Lu Tong took a look and said, "Who are you?"

Very beautiful nun.

Dressed in a sparrow-pattern brocade robe, it was as red as fire.

Heavy makeup on the face.

A strip of red rouge was applied to the upper eyelids, eyebrows, and half an inch above the eyebrows, shaped like a distant mountain.

Although the posture is extraordinary.

Lu Tong has no fear in his heart.

The City Lord's Mansion pretended to be a guard for more than a year.

I heard a lot of gossip.

Even though they met for the first time, they vaguely guessed the identity of this nun.

Mrs. Hill.

The owner of the city is either No.15 or No.16 Taoist companions.

Born as a casual cultivator, his magic power is vain.

As a monk, mana can be ethereal, light, restrained, concentrated, etc., or even miscellaneous, but it cannot be vain.

Cultivation is like building a platform, once it is vain, it is easy to collapse.

"You work in the mansion, haven't you heard of Mrs. Shan?"

He glanced at Mrs. Shan, then turned his head slightly to look upwards.

Yan Ziqiu sat on it.

Sensing Lu Tong's eyes, he turned his head to look at each other, and picked up the wine glass as a signal.

Lu Tong stood up, picked up the wine, and drank it down.

After sitting down again, he said, "Madam Shan is looking for Lu, what is the matter?"

"I heard that you have some tricks. You just sent 1000 taels of gold."

"good."

"Have you ever been to Interception Lake?"

"I've been there."

"Come to Hongshan Chamber of Commerce tomorrow, I have an errand for you."

Mrs. Shan left after speaking.

Lu Tong sat still.

Did not get up to see him off.

The pheasant flew into the phoenix's nest, and seeing phoenixes all around, it thought it was the same at home.

Mrs. Shan, a fool who can't figure it out.

……

Leave the City Lord's Mansion.

It's getting dark.

The street is very lively.

During the day, there were quite a lot of fights in the flowing water seats of 97 restaurants.

On the street, many vendors and shops also put up signs congratulating the city lord to attract business.

Lu Tong went to the south of the city.

Tibetan Xiaozhai.

The door was open, but there was a closed sign on the door.

During the day, I was busy for several hours non-stop.

The iron cooks and servants couldn't bear it anymore, so they all went back to rest.

He goes into the store.

The shopkeeper is lying on the table and taking a nap.

"Treasurer Zhou?"

When the shopkeeper got up, he saw Lu Tong put on a smiling face and said, "Lu Xingxing, here we come."

"Here comes the money for you."

Lu Tong sat down.

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled even wider, and said, "Sit down a bit, and I'll make a pot of good tea."

"it is good."

soon.

Shopkeeper Zhou came out with a set of exquisite tea sets and two plates of dim sum.

"Try it, the cold needle tea sent over from the Baiye Icefield, to cool off the heat."

"Thank you."

Lu Tong picked up his teacup.

A thin layer of ice was faintly condensed on the tea.

Drink it in one gulp.

After drinking the iced tea, the anxiety and heat faded a lot.

“Good tea!”

Shopkeeper Zhou poured another cup, took out a piece of paper, passed it with both hands, and said, "This is all the expenses, including ingredients and wages, please take a look."

He took the paper and glanced at it.

280 three two.

There are zeros and wholes.

Press the paper on the table.

Lu Tong frowned slightly and said, "It seems a little too much."

Shopkeeper Zhou apologized and said with a smile: "My family only does real business, and I buy the best vegetables and meat. Today's customers are very satisfied."

The reputation of Zang Xiao Zhai is indeed very good.

But he doesn't care whether other people eat happily or not, he just wants to spend less money.

Lu Tong frowned and smiled.

"That's right, it's a great joy for the city lord to marry a Taoist couple, and the guests must be satisfied."

"That is."

Lu Tong picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

"In the past, when the city lord married a Taoist couple, did he set up a water mat?"

"No, this is the first time."

Shopkeeper Zhou wanted to get the money quickly, so he flattered him and said, "Lu Xingxing, thanks to you this time, this matter was done beautifully!"

He put down his teacup, shook his head and said, "I can't accomplish such a big event by myself, thanks to the help of Shopkeeper Zhou."

"We just listen to your orders and help with odd jobs."

"Haha, shopkeeper Zhou is being modest! Don't worry, I will report to the city lord tomorrow, and I must mention you Zangxiaozhai."

"Thanks in advance for walking!"

Shopkeeper Zhou picked up the teapot and poured another cup.

Lu Tong nodded slightly, tapping on the table with his fingers.

"However, there are a total of more than ninety restaurants this time. It's not good to just mention your house for no reason. Are you..."

He pondered for a long time.

Shopkeeper Zhou said cautiously: "Walking, but what's wrong with the small shop?"

"It's okay. It's just that the city lord marries a Taoist partner, shouldn't you show something?"

"what?"

Lu Tong simply opened up and said.

"You also saw today that many neighbors gave He Yin. You Zangxiaozhai, your family has a big business, not only did you not give He Yin, but also did a good business for a day. Isn't it wrong?"

"This...Lu Xingxing, it's not too much to delay today for a whole day. And..."

Shopkeeper Zhou was in a hurry.

Lu Tong frowned and said, "Master Zhou! Do you think the city lord will take advantage of your family? 300 taels of silver is just a hair!"

Shopkeeper Zhou was restless and sat still.

He continued: "To tell you the truth, everyone is the same this time, I have given ten taels of congratulatory silver! If you don't want to, go, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to get the silver together."

After a moment of silence.

Shopkeeper Zhou sighed and said, "Then, how much does it mean?"

Lu Tong glanced at it, and said, "See how much your family cares."

"Ten taels?"

He picked up the paper on the table, looked at it, and said, "Wipe off the change."

Subsequently.

Take out 200 taels of silver and put it on the table.

"Hey! After deducting the food fee, even the clerk's salary is not enough! Walk, can you..."

It seems accepted.

Lu Tong got up straight away and patted the shopkeeper next week on the shoulder.

"Treasurer Zhou, don't just look at the moment. Tomorrow, go to fix a plaque and write it as the designated restaurant for the Liushui Banquet in the City Lord's Mansion. It's just a few dozen taels, and it will be earned back in a few days."

"This... Can the City Lord's Mansion agree?"

"Don't worry, they won't agree, just tear it down."

Lu Tong leaves Cangxiaozhai.

Go to the next house.
