Chapter 362: Xu Zongzhen Wants to Free Meal
"Ahem!" Xu Yan coughed twice, trying to remind his men not to look so ignorant, which was really embarrassing.
Fortunately, there was no outsider in the room.
"Master, I don't know who designed this villa. We can ask it to be returned to the capital!" The number one subordinate thought of the flush toilet in the room and was thinking about convenience.
The second subordinate nodded in agreement: "Sir, don't you also want to take the cook away? Why don't you go and find out a few things?"
Sanhao's subordinates were also very active, but they couldn't think of anything else to do. They thought: "Then let me go to Guancheng and take a look. If there are any new things, bring them back to the eldest master."
Xu Yan looked at the three of them, who looked as if they were willing to devote themselves to the eldest young master until their death, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
It’s more than that!
"Okay, we have something important to attend to on this trip. Let's go to Guancheng first and talk about everything when we come back!"
The three of them sighed in unison.
One of them said leisurely, "I wonder if there is still a Huaxiang Tower in Jicheng!"
Another subordinate replied, "How is that possible? Don't you know what Jicheng is? Is this boss desperate to open a restaurant in Jicheng?"
Isn't this just having money but nowhere to spend it?
Several people discussed in the house how to deal with the situation in Guancheng. After just a quarter of an hour, everyone was already impatient to order food and discussed things while eating.
The Xu family has always adhered to the principle of not talking while eating or sleeping, but several of their subordinates are rough and unsophisticated, and although they feel uncomfortable, they also join in the conversation.
"Come on, drink one first. If you can't think of a solution, maybe you'll find one when you wake up!"
Xu Yan's face flushed and he became a little excited.
When the others saw this, they didn't dare to persuade the eldest master to drink anymore. By the time they left, the eldest master was no longer very sober.
After settling the people, two of them stayed to protect Xu Yan, while the other one prepared to go to Guancheng to take a look.
This place is so close to Jicheng, maybe we can find something here?
This man did not forget his business and went to the busy part of the restaurant to ask around. He heard about the recent refugees in the Guancheng. It turned out that it was the good deed of Magistrate Wang.
The subordinates developed a good impression of the diligent and people-loving Magistrate Wang. Fortunately, there was such a great man on the border, otherwise the people would have suffered.
"Get out of the way, everyone!"
Suddenly, there was a shouting outside.
A team of people dressed in the uniforms of border soldiers came over and stopped in front of the Huaxiang Building.
Four of them were leading the way in front, looking very aggressive. One person was walking in the middle, and at the end, four of them were in a protective position, keeping a cautious eye on everything around them!
Some people who were watching the excitement told them to stretch their necks, but the soldier turned around and shouted threateningly, "What are you looking at? Don't you want your head anymore?"
The subordinates shook their heads and sighed. It seemed that there were corrupt officials who took advantage of their power to bully others everywhere!
While waiting for the group of nine to check in and walk upstairs, Xu Zongzhen suddenly noticed a pair of eager eyes staring at him from behind.
I turned around suddenly and saw a group of ordinary people eating happily!
General Xu frowned, winked at a few soldiers, and turned to go upstairs.
"Go away, everyone!"
"From now on, we adults will reserve the Huaxiang Building. All outsiders, please leave immediately!"
The two soldiers began to coax people. The person guarding the place now was Wen Baolu's subordinate, a young man about thirty years old, known as Manager Jing, who was a very good person.
"Two sirs." Manager Jing hurried out to comfort the frightened people and promised that he would not charge for today's meal. After the people left, he turned around and looked at the soldiers who were driving them away.
He said with a smile, "All inclusive, right? My lords, please come this way and pay the bill!"
One of the soldiers stared with wide eyes: "What? Are you afraid that our master will default on his debt?"
Shopkeeper Jing immediately said, "Hey, there are some nobles living in the backyard. I have to come out and appease them. That would be a lot of money!"
It was the first time for Mr. Xu and his people to visit Huaxianglou. They didn’t know the scale of Huaxianglou and just thought it was a pretty good restaurant.
"How much silver?" another soldier couldn't help but ask.
Shopkeeper Jing extended a finger.
"One hundred taels? We'll take care of it!" The soldier was very happy.
Shopkeeper Jing immediately shook his head and held up three fingers. "That's three thousand five hundred and sixty-seven taels. That's our average income for seven consecutive days. To make it a round number for the two gentlemen, give me four thousand taels!"
God damn it’s rounded!
Xu Yan's men who were hiding behind the pillars couldn't help but smile!
"Robbery!" the soldiers shouted. "What kind of place is Guancheng? How could we not know it? How could a small, shabby restaurant be worth three thousand taels? And what about a day's revenue? You're bragging like that without a care in the world!"
Shopkeeper Jing didn't make a fuss. He smiled and held out his hand: "How about I take you two to experience it?"
The two soldiers looked at each other, a little tempted, but still warned: "Boss, our master is of extraordinary status. If you dare to deceive us, you will be in trouble!"
"Yes, yes, my life is worthless, but I will definitely make your money worth it!"
Shopkeeper Jing turned around and rolled his eyes, tsk!
If you don’t have money, you don’t have money. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?
Half an hour later, he watched with satisfaction as the two soldiers with sad backs went up the stairs.
"Why did you take so long to come back?" Mr. Xu frowned slightly when he heard footsteps.
"Sir!" The two soldiers pushed each other, and no one dared to say anything.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly!" Xu Zongzhen said impatiently, "Have all the idlers been driven out?"
One of the soldiers shuddered and said quickly, "It's like this... So, we don't have enough silver!"
Mr. Xu's brows were furrowed so much that he could pinch a fly to death.
"The shopkeeper didn't lie? He doesn't know my identity?"
The soldier whispered, "Didn't the lord say we should keep our identities secret?"
General Xu raised his head, took a deep look at his men, and kicked them directly!
"Idiot! When should I be secretive and when should I reveal my identity? Do I still need you to teach me?"
The soldier got up from the pain after receiving a solid kick from him, but was afraid he might have misunderstood him. "So, General, when are you going to reveal your identity?"
Mr. Xu was so angry that he drank a cup of tea directly, but it was so hot that his voice changed.
He opened his mouth wide and stuck out his tongue: "Get out!"
"Yes!" The soldiers looked at each other and immediately ran out at an extraordinary speed.
Xu Zongzhen was so angry that he cursed again, "Can't you see that I'm injured? Don't you know to leave someone to serve me?"
The soldiers who had just thought they had escaped the disaster suddenly cried out in their hearts. The soldier who ran the slowest was pushed back by the others, and he comforted the other one with his eyes: You have worked hard, don't worry, we will definitely comfort you when we get back!
Seven of the people who ran out of the room walked down aggressively and came to the scene cabinet.
Jing Zhuanggui was not afraid at all, as he had long seen through their cowardly appearance and helplessness.
After all, there are cases of free dining, but they still can’t help but feel guilty about such an expensive free dining!
The leading soldier frowned and said, "Our lord is General Xu of Jicheng, did you know that?"
Shopkeeper Jing was surprised, "It turned out to be Master Xu!"
Is that it?
The leading soldier was shocked. Shouldn't he have expressed his sincere gratitude and then said that all expenses were waived?
