Chapter 222 You are General Xu!
Xu Yulan, who was sitting in the first carriage, was still a little dazed at the moment.
Whose people are these five?
He saw it clearly and knew that the five people who suddenly appeared were definitely not subordinates of his sister and brother-in-law.
But, apart from his sister and brother-in-law, who else would know that he came to Hehe County?
Xu Yulan, who had been thinking all the time, overlooked a key issue, that is, when Xuan Shiwu appeared, he called him "Second Uncle".
He calls me Second Uncle, so who else could he belong to?
Apart from his nephews and nieces, who else could it be?
I have to say that Xu Yulan's train of thought is indeed somewhat unusual.
However, he was certain of one thing.
His sister and brother-in-law knew about these five people and were very relieved, so he should be fine on his way back to Beijing.
So, Xu Yulan, whose injury had not yet healed, fell asleep with his eyes closed in the carriage until the carriage stopped and Jing Liu's voice was heard outside the carriage.
"Second Master, it's getting dark. Let's stay here tonight."
It's dark
Oh my!
No wonder I felt a little hungry. It’s getting dark now.
Xu Yulan opened his eyes again, got out of the car, tilted his head and took a look at Youyuan Inn.
Well, not bad, the name is good, I’ll choose this one.
"Let's go with this one."
"Okay." Jing Liu responded and walked into the inn. He called out to the waiter who was walking towards him, "Waiter, four rooms upstairs, two tables of food."
Upon hearing this, the waiter quickly responded, "Hey! Gentlemen, please come in~~"
As he spoke, the waiter took off the handkerchief from his shoulder and quickly wiped the table and chairs.
The shopkeeper, who was fiddling with the abacus, glanced at the group of people who came in, then quickly ran towards the kitchen.
I thought to myself: Oh! These people are obviously masters, I have to serve them well and not neglect them.
After giving some instructions, he walked out quickly again, raised his hand to wave to the waiter who had just served tea, whispered something in his ear, and arranged the four upper rooms next to him.
At Jing Liu's eye signal, Xuan Shiwu followed the waiter upstairs to look at the four guest rooms, and then nodded to Jing Liu.
Jing Liu directly took out a fifty-liang silver note and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, this silver note is enough..."
Looking at the fifty-liang silver note in front of him, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Enough, enough, enough. Sir, don't worry, the dry food will be ready tomorrow morning. The horses in the backyard will also have enough fodder. I guarantee that you will be able to do your business well."
Hearing this, Jing Liu looked at the shopkeeper who was good at handling things, nodded slightly, threw down a ten-liang ingot of silver, and threw another piece of silver to the waiter who was receiving them, then returned to his seat and sat down.
The shopkeeper and the waiter looked at the huge pile of silver, and they were so happy that their teeth were not visible.
One of them quickly ran to the kitchen to urge for the food, while the other came over with two jugs of wine.
"Gentlemen, I am just some traveling merchants, and I haven't prepared any good wine. These two pots of wine today are for you to relieve your fatigue."
Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Xu Yulan glanced at him calmly, then glanced at the wine pot in his hand, and then said lightly: "The shopkeeper is thoughtful, but we don't drink alcohol, so two more pots of tea will be enough."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was startled, then nodded and said, "Okay... OK, I'll give you two more pots of tea." Then he turned around and left with the wine pot...
"The food is here~~"
Following the waiter's call, dish after dish was brought up.
Chef Wei, who is in charge of the kitchen, felt a little confused after listening to his nephew's description of what happened in the front hall, especially after he described Xu Yulan and Jing Liu.
Taking the opportunity of serving the dishes, he came out with the last dish.
After putting the dishes aside, Chef Wei stole a glance at Xu Yulan who was picking up the dishes. He immediately called out, "General Xu! You are General Xu!"
Hearing this, everyone at the two tables looked at Chef Wei.
Xu Yulan also looked at him carefully...
The shopkeeper and the waiter, who heard Chef Wei's voice, were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.
General Xu
This guy is really General Xu
This chef Wei actually knew General Xu
My uncle knew General Xu
After a few breaths, Xu Yulan stood up and pointed at Chef Wei and shouted, "Wei Dachu, haha, it really is you."
Hearing Xu Yulan call out his name, Chef Wei said excitedly: "General, you still remember me."
"When I took my first bite of this dish, I felt the taste was familiar. The more I ate, the more familiar it became, and I thought of you."
Xu Yulan and Chef Wei acted like good brothers, and no one would have thought that he was the feared cold-faced general.
Xu Yulan pulled Chef Wei to sit down and continued to talk to him: "I was thinking about asking who the chef is later. I didn't expect to see you."
As he spoke, Xu Yulan suddenly remembered something and looked at Chef Wei with a cold face, "You insisted on returning home from the barracks, but why are you here? Isn't your home in Shaoyang County?"
Seeing that Xu Yulan knew someone and that person was also a former soldier, the people at the table next to him continued eating.
However, their ears were not idle, they were all listening to the gossip from the next table.
"General, back then..."
Chef Wei briefly explained his situation and then urged, "General, please eat first. I'll make you some soup. Wait..."
Seeing Chef Wei preparing to make the soup, the shopkeeper quickly said, "Chef Wei, make two more servings and stir-fry two more of your signature dishes."
"Hey~ I'll go right away."
"Dunzi, go to the kitchen and help your uncle. Don't keep the general and the others waiting for too long."
"Oh, okay..."
Xu Yulan looked at Chef Wei who was leaving in a hurry, then looked at the shopkeeper who was full of joy. He raised his hand and bowed to the shopkeeper to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper. Chef Wei is lucky to have met you, shopkeeper. Thank you very much."
"General Xu, what are you talking about? Meeting is fate. Master Wei and I, Qin, have a deep bond. My Youyuan Inn is the best proof."
Listening to the shopkeeper's words and thinking about the inn's signboard, Xu Yulan smiled and nodded, then continued eating...
After Xu Yulan and his group went upstairs, the shopkeeper looked at Chef Wei and said, "You really don't plan to follow General Xu anymore. Even if you don't, Dunzi can follow."
Chef Wei shook his head. "Although the general said he wants us to follow him, you know I can't leave this inn. I don't want to cause trouble for the general..."
"You, you think you're safe if you stay here. Let me tell you, one day, those people will find this place. When that time comes..."
"Second Master is not afraid of trouble. Master Wei, please tell us about your troubles. We are returning to Beijing this time to solve some problems."
As the two were talking, Jing Liu suddenly jumped down and looked at Chef Wei with a fixed gaze.
