At night, there were no guests in the inn.
An Xin looked at the empty hall, shook his head and said to everyone:
"Hey, it seems I'm still not suitable for business. It's dinner time and no one has come yet."
Yin Ren curled his lips and said:
"Boss, please stop me. These days, you can make a lot of money by opening a small inn like this. You can't think of being overcrowded every day like restaurants like Huangque Tower and Wufangzhai." "
Qiu Sheng on the side heard Yin Ren's words, nodded and said:
"Yes, boss, you have only been out of business for one night, and you have given up on yourself. What do you think of the owners of unpopular small restaurants with no background outside? And I think it is normal to have no customers this night. People in Xin'an Town are not rich, so they can't eat out every once in a while. Many people skip dinner in order to save some money."
Qin Huai on the side heard what Yin Ren and Qiu Sheng said and joked:
"I'm afraid it's not your boss who feels sorry for me and you Sister Liu. He spent 200 taels of silver today. I want to earn it back from the pockets of the guests tonight."
Liu Ruyue heard Qin Huai's words and echoed:
"Yes, he must think so. I have never seen anyone as stingy as your boss."
An Xin's face turned dark when he heard the ridicule from several people. I just said that I am not suitable for business. Why did your topic rise to the aspect of personality? And where am I being stingy? When you were shopping and paying for things, I didn’t even blink. After thinking about it, he said:
"Forget it, have dinner early today and rest. Yin Ren, please go and serve dinner."
Yin Ren nodded when he heard his boss's words. He called Qiu Sheng and went to the kitchen together to bring dinner over.
Just when An Xin and others were preparing to eat, a man's voice came from the door.
"Hey, I'm here early, so it's better to come here by chance. It's time for you to have dinner. Don't you mind if you add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Everyone looked around and saw a young man standing at the door looking at everyone with a smile.
The middle-aged man was unkempt, with his hair randomly tied up with a branch, and his beard made his delicate face look a bit old-fashioned. Wearing coarse linen clothes, with a hemp rope tied around his waist. There is also a bamboo flute pinned to the hemp rope.
When Qiu Sheng saw the person coming, he stood up quickly and said:
"Sir, do you want to work in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"
When the young man heard Qiu Sheng's words, he shook his head and said:
"I'm here to eat and drink. I'll stay a few nights by the way."
When Qiu Sheng heard the young man's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the group of people who were eating and drinking before An Xin came. He quickly said:
"I'm sorry, sir. The shop doesn't accept credit. You'd better go. If you're hungry, I can give you some leftover buns from the morning to fill your stomach. If you have nowhere to sleep at night, leave Xin'an Town , there is a ruined temple less than 3 kilometers away, which can protect you from wind and rain.”
When the young man heard Qiu Sheng's words, he smiled and said:
"You are such a good person. If you are so kind, there must be many people bullying you."
Qiu Sheng heard the young man's words and said displeased:
"I want to help you with good intentions, why are you saying bad things about me?"
Seeing Qiu Sheng's expression, the young man quickly explained:
"Little brother, you misunderstood. I just think that there are not many good people like you in this world. But bad people who bully the weak and fear the strong are everywhere. You just kicked me out because you were afraid that I would be beaten by your boss."
When Qiu Sheng heard the young man's words, he was stunned and said:
"how do you know."
Just as the young man was about to explain, An Xin, who was sitting in the main seat, said:
"You're a freeloader, you shouldn't be here so soon."
When the young man heard An Xin's words, he did not rush to answer. Instead, he walked to sit across from An Xin's table and looked at the food on the table. He opened his mouth and said:
"The food is good, hurry up and eat. I'm hungry."
As he spoke, he took a pair of chopsticks for himself from the bamboo tube without any courtesy.
An Xin watched the young Taoist's movements and said to the dazed Qiu Sheng:
"Qiu Sheng, go to the kitchen and get him a bowl. By the way, get a pot of Dukang from the counter."
When Qiu Sheng heard An Xin's words, he immediately woke up. Although he didn't know who the person in front of him was, he seemed to know An Xin. Thinking of not talking nonsense, I ran to get a clean bowl.
But just before he left the hall, he heard An Xin's voice.
"Forget it, just get him a bowl. There's no need to get the wine."
Qiu Sheng nodded when he heard An Xin's words, turned around and plunged into the kitchen.
An Xin looked at the young man opposite and said:
"Wait a minute. I brought a jar of five-color wine from Dongdao. I'll go up and get it. Let's have a good drink tonight."
As he spoke, he went upstairs without waiting for the young man to answer.
There were only Westerners left in the inn lobby.
Liu Ruyue looked at the young man and said doubtfully:
"You are from Dongdao."
The young man nodded and smiled:
"yes."
Liu Ruyue then asked:
"Are you friends with An Xin?"
The young man nodded and said:
"He is the only one I can talk to in Dongdao. He is considered a friend."
Liu Ruyue was surprised when she heard the young man's words:
"He actually has friends. I heard he beat up everyone in East Island."
The young man said:
"Yeah, he beat me up too, but that doesn't affect the fact that we are good friends."
Liu Ruyue wanted to ask some questions, but was interrupted by Qin Huai who was standing aside:
"Are you Mr. Roxy?"
When the young man heard Qin Huai's words, he wondered:
"You know me, you shouldn't! My name is not well known in the world. There should be very few people in this world who know my face."
When Qin Huai heard the young man's answer, he quickly stood up and said respectfully:
"I usually like to play some music scores, and I pay a lot of attention to Mr. Lesheng. Although there is a little information about you in the world, I heard someone describe that Mr. Lesheng has a bamboo flute that never leaves his body. Just when you came in, I saw The bamboo flute on your waist makes you suspicious of your identity."
When Lesheng heard Qin Huai's words, she quickly said:
"Little girl, you don't have to stand up. I'm just here to eat and drink today, and I'm not much older than you. You can just call me Le Sheng. The title of Mr. Le Sheng does make me look old."
Qin Huai nodded when he heard Le Sheng's words. and didn't speak.
While several people were talking, Qiu Sheng placed a bowl filled with rice in front of Le Sheng.
An Xin also went downstairs with an inconspicuous wine jar. He opened his mouth and said to the music:
"You are lucky. I stole this jar of wine from my master. Haha! I didn't look carefully at the age when I brought it. Now I see it is an old wine that he has collected for more than 20 years."
When Lesheng heard An Xin's words, she immediately became energetic and said:
"Really? Then you have to taste it. Come and fill it up."
After saying that, he handed the empty bowl to An Xin. An Xin looked at the bowl handed by Le Sheng and cursed:
"You idiot, this thing is five-color wine. Just take an empty bowl and let me fill it up for you. You're not afraid of thunder."
He didn't talk nonsense and waved in the direction of the counter. Five porcelain wine glasses flew onto the table out of thin air.
An Xin opened the seal of the wine jar, and suddenly a strong aroma of wine with a little medicinal aroma filled the entire hall.
Just smelling this fragrance made everyone perk up.
An Xin filled five wine glasses and distributed them to everyone. Then he raised his glass and said:
"This five-color wine is brewed by a mixture of five highly poisonous substances and five great tonic substances in the world. Ordinary people can slightly improve their physical fitness by drinking it. Martial arts practitioners below the Dragon Transformation Realm can improve their physical fitness by drinking it. Come and have a taste of your own inner strength.”
After everyone heard An Xin's words, they quickly looked at the wine glasses in front of them. The wine is slightly yellow, with a faint aroma of wine and medicine spreading from the cup.
Yin Ren quickly drank the wine in the glass and instantly felt that his internal strength had increased. Immediately, the sword energy in his body spread uncontrollably. Fortunately, An Xin found out in time and protected everyone.
Yin Ren felt the changes in himself and was surprised by the effect of wine. He quickly calmed down, controlled the sword energy emanating from himself, and said with excitement:
"What a powerful drink. It has actually improved my strength to the late stage of Yu Leap. If I drink a few more drinks, I will become a master in the Dragon Transformation Realm."
An Xin rolled his eyes and Yin Ren said:
"If you are not afraid of death, just drink it. People below the Dragon Transformation Realm can only drink one glass at most. If you drink more, I'm afraid you will die suddenly. Although the five-color wine is good, don't be greedy."
When Yin Ren heard An Xin's words, he nodded and stopped talking. He also knew that this kind of unnatural drink naturally had its own taboos.
Seeing Yin Ren's breakthrough, Liu Ruyue and Qin Huai glanced at each other and quickly drank the wine in their glasses. Although the two have made breakthroughs in their realms, there is no leakage of internal energy like Yin Ren.
Qiu Sheng looked at the drink in front of him, but instead of drinking it, he said:
"Boss, can I save my glass of wine and give it to my aunt? She is in the late stage of Yu Leap Realm, so drinking it should have some effect."
An Xin shook his head and said:
"This stuff won't last long. If you keep it, even if you wait until she comes over, it won't be of any use. Just drink it."
Qiu Sheng nodded when he heard An Xin's explanation, and drank the wine in the glass without hesitation.
When An Xin saw that everyone had drank their drinks, he shook the wine jar and spoke to the sound of music:
"Okay, the rest is ours."
Lesheng laughed and said:
"This thing, apart from having a better reputation, doesn't help us much. We might as well drink that Dukang wine."
An Xin heard Le Sheng's words and cursed:
"Whether you like to drink or not, you have the nerve to be picky about what you eat and drink."
Saying this, he drank the wine in the glass without waiting for Le Sheng's reply.
Seeing An Xin's actions, Le Sheng also shook her head and drank the drink.
The two of them exchanged cups. The meal was finished quickly.
Seeing that it was late, Qiu Sheng closed the door of the inn and took the dishes to the kitchen to wash.
An Xin spoke to the music and said:
"Your apprenticeship conference is about to begin, why do you come to me in the spare time?"
When Lesheng heard An Xin's words, she quickly complained:
"That disciple recruitment conference is a joke. It was basically a gimmick created by that bastard Gu Tian to consolidate his position in the world."
When An Xin heard Le Sheng's complaint, he was stunned and quickly said:
"Let's talk about it. What's going on?"
