Chapter 111 Chickens Attack

Bai Zhantang relaxed his mood and looked at everyone with the same smile, saying that he would have a drink with everyone in the evening.

Everyone dispersed one after another and continued to greet the guests.

Everyone was busy for a long time in the afternoon. It was not until the last guest left the inn in the evening that everyone started to prepare the tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks and other items.

Tong Xiangyu walked out of the upstairs and came to the lobby with a smile. Seeing that everyone was still clearing away the dishes, she turned around and came to the counter to watch the scholar settling the accounts.

When the scholar saw Tong Xiangyu approaching, he quickly gave her his seat and asked her to check the accounts of today's inn. Tong Xiangyu turned over his hands and saw that his original smile became brighter.

Everyone had finished cleaning while Tong Xiangyu was checking the accounts and was resting at the long table. Looking at the bright smile on Tong Xiangyu's face, Zhang Chen touched the scholar and whispered:

"How much did you earn today? Can you make the shopkeeper smile like this?"

When the scholar saw that everyone was curious, he stretched out his hand and rummaged through the bottom. Everyone turned back their curious expressions when they saw this gesture. No wonder the shopkeeper was so happy. Today's day is worth a little more than half a month.

At this time, Dazui was in the back kitchen shouting for everyone to serve the dishes. Everyone quickly entered the kitchen to help Dazui serve the dishes.

After a while, the long table was filled with various dishes, and a strange pot was placed in the center, with thick steam rising from it.

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he saw this dish and he said with a smile:

"Brother Big Mouth, did you do this?"

Da Zui said naively:

"I told the shopkeeper about this new dish. This time I want everyone to try it and see if there are any improvements."

After that, he introduced to everyone:

"This dish is called Teppanyaki Fish. It is mainly a combination of fish meat and seasonings, which can make everyone's taste buds have a stronger sense of satisfaction."

After Da Zui finished speaking, he looked at everyone's surprised expressions and then said with a smile:

"I didn't say this, it was Xiaochen who said it."

Looking at Dazui's naive expression, Bai Zhantang handed the wine glass to Dazui and said:

"Big mouth, thank you for believing that my brother didn't do anything. At that time, I thought you would report me or leave directly."

"No more words to say. I recognize you as my brother. Come and have a drink!"

Bai Zhantang's words made the scholar and Zhang Chen stand up and ridicule Bai Zhantang at the same time.

Bai Zhantang quickly raised his glass to apologize to the two of them and begged for mercy, and then drank three glasses in a row to express his apology.

Everyone toasted to Bai Zhantang heartily, and the dinner atmosphere reached its climax with Bai Zhantang's toasts one by one. Everyone could clearly see that Bai Zhantang was really happy today.

While everyone was talking and laughing, bursts of crying suddenly came from outside the inn's door.

Zhang Chen's ears moved slightly and he heard the conversation between a father and his daughter. This made Zhang Chen's heart move. The follow-up problem of Yihong Restaurant emerged.

It turns out that the father and daughter outside the inn were selling chickens at Yihong Restaurant across the street. They had ordered a large number of live chickens from a village in the countryside a few days ago.

They agreed to deliver the goods every ten days and pay for the goods after the chickens arrived. The old man agreed when he saw that she couldn't run away even if her shop was standing here.

This time the old man and his daughter came to deliver the goods, but they saw that Yihong Restaurant had closed down, so they could not sell the chickens, which made the old farmer worried.

The sound of the father and daughter arguing outside the door got closer and closer, attracting the attention of everyone inside the inn.

Everyone stopped eating and drinking in confusion, and just as they were about to ask what happened, an old man with patched clothes appeared outside the door, pulling a little girl with a sad face.

When the old man saw everyone in the room turning around and staring at him, he was so frightened that he forgot what he had just wanted to say, and could only say in a trembling voice:

"Want chicken?"

When Zhang Chen saw that the old man was frightened by his own family, he quickly got up, took the father and daughter to the table, poured a cup of tea, and motioned to him slowly not to worry.

After the old man drank a cup of tea, he calmed down and said slowly:

"Who is the shopkeeper? I sell chickens for only ten cents each."

As soon as the old man said these words, the big guy drinking next to him asked in disbelief:

"How many?"

The old man thought that Big Mouth was trying to lower the price, so he quickly whispered again:

"If ten cents is too high, we can discuss the price."

This time, it was not just Dazui who was surprised. Even if they were ignorant, others knew that ten cents would not buy a whole chicken.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the little girl thought that her cock was going to be sold, and some cries came out.

"Don't you want to sell Xiaohong? I have raised it since I was a child, and I don't want to part with it..."

As he spoke, he started to cry. Seeing this, Zhang Chen raised his head and motioned to Xiao Bei to comfort the little girl. Xiao Bei nodded confidently and agreed.

When the old man saw his girl crying, he was immediately afraid that everyone would be bored, but when he saw Zhang Chen and Xiao Bei patiently comforting her, he felt relieved and looked at everyone with pleading eyes.

Tong Xiangyu stood up and said with a smile:

"Um, I'm the shopkeeper of this shop. Uh, what do you call me?"

The old man said quickly:

"Don't dare to take it seriously! The old man's surname is Luo. Everyone usually calls me Old Man Luo. The shopkeeper should also call me that."

After Tong Xiangyu knew his name, she saw that he was still a little nervous and said:

"Then I'll call you Old Man Luo. Your chicken is so cheap and I don't dare to buy it!"

"Who knows if there's something wrong?"

The little girl who was playing with Zhang Chen and Xiao Bei saw Tong Xiangyu questioning her chicken and shouted anxiously:

"I feed all my chickens, there will definitely be no problems."

Seeing his daughter's anxious look, Old Man Luo reassured him one after another:

"My chickens are known to people from all over the country, otherwise Yihong Restaurant wouldn't order chickens from me."

Everyone's attention was attracted by the Yihong Restaurant he mentioned. At this time, Old Man Luo explained how Yihong Restaurant found him and ordered a large number of live chickens for him to deliver.

After explaining the matter clearly, Old Man Luo took out the contract with Sai Diaochan from his arms and handed it over, and said:

"Look, this is still the contract at that time! Who knew that it would go bankrupt after giving away chickens once?"

Seeing Old Man Luo sighing, Zhang Chen hugged the little girl and asked curiously:

"Even if you can't sell it for a while, it won't be so cheap, right? You will still lose money by selling it like this."

Tong Xiangyu had already confirmed that the contract was genuine. Seeing this, he also consoled him:

"Xiaochen is right, you might as well go home after all this trouble!"

The rest of the people also looked in agreement when they heard this. The little girl in Zhang Chen's arms saw that her father was silent and said sensibly:

"My home is far away. My father and I rushed to the town early in the morning, but we didn't get here until dark."

Only then did everyone understand the dilemma of Old Man Luo. The round trip took nearly two days, and everyone was a little overwhelmed, let alone those live chickens. If they killed too many people, Old Man Luo and his family would be in danger.

.

There was a bit of silence in the scene for a while, because everyone present had not had such a difficult experience, and even the poorest Big Mouth had never been hungry in his family.

Thanks for the support!
