An Xin and Le Sheng finally reached an agreement during friendly discussions.
After Le Sheng gets his share, he will give An Xin 70%25 of the silver taels he received.
The two finally signed and swore an oath to heaven, ending the friendly conversation.
Qiu Sheng looked at the damaged tables and chairs all over the hall and couldn't help shaking his head. He took Yin Ren and cleaned up the mess after the friendly conversation.
Lesheng rubbed his swollen face and said to An Xin:
"Where should I sleep tonight?"
An Xin heard Le Sheng's words and said:
"Except for the first one on the left on the third floor, you can find any other room to rest."
Saying this, without waiting for Le Sheng's reply, he hugged Liu Ruyue and Qin Huai, who had not yet recovered from the shock, and went upstairs.
When Lesheng heard An Xin's words, she nodded and limped along. Before going upstairs, she said to Qiu Sheng and Yin Ren who were cleaning:
"I'm sorry, little brothers, for causing you trouble at such a late hour."
Yin Ren, who was cleaning, heard the music, put down the broom in his hand, and said:
"Mr. Lesheng, I'm not talking about you, why do you owe so much? You even asked our boss which piece of shit extorted 5,000 taels of silver from the chief island owner of the East Island. You can know the answer with just your toes, how can you still You deserve to be beaten."
When Lesheng heard Yin Ren's words, she smiled awkwardly and did not dare to answer. He held on to the stairs and went upstairs.
......
Morning
Get up early with peace of mind. After Qin Huai and Liu Ruyue waited on him, he went downstairs after washing up.
Yin Ren was chatting with Uncle Wang who was delivering food.
An Xin said hello to the two of them and then said doubtfully:
"Why didn't you see Qiu Sheng?"
When Yin Ren heard An Xin's question, he rolled his eyes and said An Xin:
"Boss, you still have the nerve to say it. Yesterday you guys fought and broke all the tables and chairs in the hall. Qiu Sheng went to Dongjiekou early in the morning to buy tables and chairs."
After hearing Yin Ren's words, An Xin scratched his head and said sheepishly:
"Hey, it's all the fault of that guy from Le Sheng. Wouldn't it be better to sign and pledge it earlier? We still have to do it first."
When Yin Ren heard An Xin blaming the blame, his face turned dark and he said:
"Boss, you were the one who made the first move yesterday. We all saw it."
An Xin was stunned when he heard Yin Ren's words, and then said:
"Nonsense, it was obviously Le Sheng who made the first move. He attacked me with sound waves, but you just didn't notice it. Didn't you see that he spit on my face when he was bargaining? This is what he did first. evidence."
When Yin Ren heard An Xin's words, he didn't answer. Anyway, he could see that this man was already shameless.
Uncle Wang, the vegetable seller on the side, listened to the conversation between the two and smiled casually. But the laughter was a bit loud. It immediately attracted An Xin and the two people who were discussing "who should strike first?"
The two of them looked at Uncle Wang, the vegetable seller. Uncle Wang also noticed An Xin and the others' gazes, and said with a smile:
"I heard those gangsters say that Boss An and you are all high-ranking figures. But when I saw you quarreling today, you looked no different from ordinary people like us."
An Xin smiled awkwardly after hearing Uncle Wang's words. He opened his mouth and said:
"By the way, Uncle Wang. Do you have bird's nests for sale here?"
After hearing An Xin's words, Uncle Wang said:
"Boss An, these things you mentioned are too expensive. It is impossible for ordinary people to eat these out-of-reach things. I don't dare to buy them here. If Boss An needs it, I can help buy some. But I Don’t have that much money to purchase.”
Hearing Uncle Wang's words, An Xin nodded, took out a 100-tael banknote from his arms and handed it to Uncle Wang and said:
"Uncle Wang, please help me purchase some."
Uncle Wang looked at the banknote handed over by An Xin and said quickly:
"Boss An, the amount of your banknote is too large. The most expensive Yuncheng bird's nest only costs 1 tael of silver per catty."
When An Xin heard what Uncle Wang said, he shook his head and said:
"Uncle Wang, help me buy more. It's easy to store. Buy some and put them in the inn. They won't go bad after five years of storage. I have a friend here who is poor but very particular. Every morning Everyone has to drink a bowl of bird's nest soup."
When Uncle Wang heard An Xin's words, he nodded, said hello to An Xin and Yin Ren, and walked towards the West Street entrance with the empty pole.
Just as Uncle Wang left, Le Sheng happened to come downstairs. When he saw An Xin and the two of them, he said:
"Boss An, you are so awesome."
An Xin heard Le Sheng's words and said angrily:
"I don't even know how you developed this problem. You have to drink a bowl of bird's nest in the morning. No wonder your Roxy Island suffers serious losses all year round."
Lesheng shook his head and said:
"That's all I have a hobby for."
......
It was almost noon before Qiu Sheng returned to the inn, followed by a few footmen carrying tables and chairs. After instructing several people to place the tables and chairs, he gave a few pennies and sent them away. He opened his mouth and said to An Xin:
"Boss, these tables and chairs are all made of wenge wood. When you fight in the future, you must remember that the cost of a table is 10 taels of silver. The cost of a chair is 4 taels of silver."
An Xin's face turned dark when he heard Qiu Sheng's words. Qiu Sheng was becoming more and more courageous. Knowing that running an inn will inevitably lead to difficulties, I still bought such expensive tables and chairs.
......
At noon, six tables of guests came to the inn. Except for two tables, they were from nearby Jianghu people. The rest of the west tables, An Xin was very sure, were all Jianghu people who rushed to the East Island to participate in Le Sheng's "disciple recruitment conference".
If you want to know why An Xin is so sure, it's because this man from the West Table imitates Le Sheng's bohemian look in every aspect of his dress and temperament.
However, this group of people had obviously never seen Le Sheng's real appearance. When the people from the West Table entered the inn, they just took one look at Le Sheng and then ordered their own food and drinks. Apparently he thought Roxy was an imitator like them.
The people from West Table entered the inn at different times and carried different musical instruments. But without exception, the people on the West Table all had messy hair, wore coarse linen clothes, and had hemp ropes tied around their waists.
Although this man from the West Table is dressed in a simple way, he is always a good spender. The dishes he orders are all expensive dishes, and the wine he asks for is also good.
An Xin glanced at the guest at the west table, walked quietly to Le Sheng, and whispered:
"Are you music theory lovers so sloppy?"
Lesheng's face turned dark when she heard An Xin's words. He replied quietly:
"Whenever I have one tael of silver left, I will buy good clothes. I really don't understand how these people don't want to imitate me, but insist on dressing like me."
Time passed quickly, and the people near the two tables finished their meals early, paid their bills, and left.
The music manager at West Table was very careful about his food. Half an hour has passed since I was picking and choosing, and the dishes were only half done.
Perhaps it was too boring to just eat, but a delicate-looking woman at one of the tables stood up and said to Qin Huai who was settling accounts on the counter:
"Madam boss, there are wine and food, but it's still a bit monotonous. Can I play a song in your inn to cheer up the entertainment?"
Qin Huai heard the woman's voice, nodded and said:
"Sir, please help yourself."
The woman heard Qin Huai agree. Then he took out a pipa from his luggage. He started playing by himself. The play is so-so.
An Xin listened without feeling anything. Le Sheng on the side frowned.
After a while, the woman played the song "Pipa Xing" in its entirety. It caused a burst of applause from the people at the same table. The woman was also a modest person and said to everyone in the inn:
"My little girl is not yet mature in music theory. I hope everyone will understand me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and thin man at the table next to him stood up and said:
"Since the girl has presented us with the song "Pipa Xing", Xiaosheng is willing to play "Mountains and Flowing Waters" for everyone to add to the fun."
After speaking, without waiting for anyone to answer, he took out a guqin from his luggage and started playing it on his own. Hmm~ It’s not in tune at all.
After the song ended, An Xin felt like he was in the fog. This thing could also be called "High Mountains and Flowing Waters". But everyone at the scene was very considerate and applauded.
After a while, the guests at the west table began to offer their unique skills. The entire inn was transformed into a large-scale busking scene. He was so angry that the music on the side simply closed his ears.
......
The people at the West Table ate this lunch for almost two hours, and spent one and a half hours showing off their craftsmanship.
After checking out and leaving.
An Xin breathed out and said to everyone:
"No one from outside will be allowed to play music in our inn from now on. My ears are covered with calluses."
After hearing An Xin's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
After seeing the guest leave, he reopened his ears and said to the music:
"No, a guy like this actually has the nerve to attend my "Apprentice Recruitment Conference." I remember that An An was playing better than this group of people after just two days of learning from me."
When An Xin heard Le Sheng's words, he coughed and said:
"Low-key, low-key. It's all because of my extraordinary talent. There's nothing I can do about it, and it has little to do with the person I'm teaching."
Everyone... can you be any more mean?
Due to the delay of the guest at the west table, everyone just had a hasty cooked rice at noon.
After Qiu Sheng washed the dishes and chopsticks, he followed Yin Ren to the back hall to learn the exercises his aunt had left for him.
Liu Ruyue looked at the slow progress of the renovation of Liuxiangfang with a worried look on her face. Decided to personally supervise management.
Qin Huai was afraid that his junior sister would come up with some unreasonable designs. The construction progress that affected the craftsmen also followed.
Only Le Sheng and An Xin were left in the inn lobby. The two drank tea and chatted about advanced knowledge of music theory.
"No, just this group of people, in case they are on the list. Isn't this list too unprofessional?"
"Don't think too much. Except for a few people who really love music theory, everyone else in the world is like this, so don't feel pressured."
"At this level, how much money do you have to spend to get on the list? I won't do it if it's lower."
"Don't worry about this. Gu Tian can arrange this matter clearly."
