Chapter 2208 2210【Worker Soul】


    “Let her go~” Xiao Qing shouted to Bai Zhantang.


    “Let her go~” Lao Bai also said to Xiao Qing.


    “You let go of our young lady!”


    “Let go of our shopkeeper!”


    “Xiao Qing: Let go of our Furong!”


    “Lao Bai: Let go of our Xiangyu!”


    “You let go of Guo Furong, who is as beautiful as a flower in our family!”


    “You let go of our charming Tong Xiangyu!”


    The two of them were negotiating one by one as if they were pairing Spring Festival couplets.


    "Okay, stop yelling, I''ll call one, two, three, and let''s all go together." Xiang Nan rubbed his arms and said, but in fact he was just pretending.


    To him, Xiaoqing''s slap wasn''t even a skin injury, it just helped him build an impression in front of the shopkeeper.


    Lao Bai and Xiao Qing both nodded. Being in such a stalemate is indeed not an option.


    “One, two, three~” Xiang Nan started counting.


    “Wait, wait, don’t let go, they are both male and female!” Tong Xiangyu suddenly said.


    “They are already twin females now, right?” Lao Bai sneered.


    “I’m sure and sure.” Guo Furong also said coldly.


    “If we let them go, what will happen if they harm the people in the town?” Tong Xiangyu reminded.


    “Who harmed the people in the town?” Guo Furong was puzzled.


    At this moment, the beggar Xiaomi was passing by the door. When he saw Guo Furong being held hostage by Bai Zhantang, he was suddenly excited and said, "It''s you!"


    “Hey, aren’t you the fat beggar from Shibalipu?” Guo Furong recognized him immediately when she saw him.


    “It’s really an eye-opener. The male and female evil spirits have been arrested.” Xiaomi shouted happily, and then ran out to tell everyone the good news.


    “Why is he like this?” Xiao Qing couldn’t help complaining when he saw this.


    "It''s not because of you." Bai Zhantang said coldly, "Otherwise, his rheumatism would have been cured long ago."


    “What does his illness have to do with us?” Guo Furong was puzzled.


    "The cupping was done well, but you jumped out and beat Doctor Xue severely..." Xiang Nan explained.


    "Huh?! I didn''t know it was cupping." Guo Furong was immediately embarrassed.


    "There is also Miss Zhao from Zuojiazhuang, who finally got married, and now I leave you at home. Uncle Ge San from Xilianghe, Baishiqiao..." Bai Zhantang recounted the "great achievements" of both men and women, one after another. Every pile is appalling.


    "That''s enough!" Guo Furong couldn''t listen anymore, "Does that mean those people I saved will blame me?"


    “It’s not just strange, it’s simply hateful.” Tong Xiangyu corrected.


    “We are raising money now to arrest the two of you.” Bai Zhantang said coldly.


    "How could this happen, Xiaoqing?" When Guo Furong heard this, her mood suddenly collapsed and she was greatly shocked.


    ?Xiao Qing was also shocked and took back the sword lying around Tong Xiangyu''s neck.


    When Bai Zhantang saw this, he also took back his sword.


    ??Guo Furong immediately turned around and entered the backyard.


    “Miss, why are you going?” Xiaoqing asked with concern.


    “I’m too confused and want to be alone for a while.” Guo Furong said without looking back.


    …


    After Guo Furong left, Xiaoqing looked at Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu with embarrassed expressions.


    Tong Xiangyu is a businessman after all. When he saw this, he smiled and said, "Girl, please sit down first. It was all a misunderstanding just now. Let''s make a pot of tea in Zhantang~"


    "Shopkeeper, I''m going to fry the pancakes." Seeing that he had nothing to do, Xiang Nan said.


    “Go, go.” Tong Xiangyu nodded. Xiang Nan immediately went back to the kitchen to fry the pancakes.


    At eight o''clock, Tongfu Inn officially opened, and guests came to have breakfast one after another.


    The pancakes were golden and crispy, the rice porridge was sweet and delicious, and they were paired with crisp and refreshing pickles. Every guest had a great time eating.


    At nine o''clock, after the first wave of guests left, the people at Tongfu Inn also started eating breakfast.


    “Well, Dazui fried the pancakes well today.” Tong Xiangyu said with satisfaction.


    In the past, Li Dazui''s fried pancakes could not control the heat properly. They were either under-fried and not crispy enough, or over-fried and had a faint burnt smell.


    ●The pancakes were fried very well today, golden and crispy, with a very good texture.


    “Thank you, shopkeeper, for the compliment.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    ?With his cooking skills, deep-fried pancakes really don’t have to be too simple.


    …


    After finishing breakfast, everyone started busy preparing for lunch.


    Xiang Nan went out to buy vegetables with a vegetable basket in hand.


    Normally, Li Dazui would report the expenses when buying groceries and get a few penny advantage.


    ?However, Xiang Nan didn''t bother to do such sneaky things. Even if he wanted to make money, he would make the shopkeeper willing to increase his salary.


    When we came to the vegetable market, we saw that local prices were still very expensive.


    ? radish costs five cents per catty, an egg costs one cent per catty, chicken costs twelve cents per catty, and fish costs ten cents per catty...


    The salary of everyone at Tongfu Inn is two silver coins per month, which can be exchanged for two hundred copper coins, which is enough to buy twenty catties of fish, eighty catties of radishes, and two hundred eggs.


    To be honest, the salary is indeed not high. It is no wonder that everyone in Tongfu Inn is thinking about raising their wages.


    But having said that, Tongfu Inn provides food and accommodation, as well as treatment for any illness.


    ?Especially since Li Dazui, as a chef, could stew chicken, stew pot meat, stir-fry vegetables, and have a drink, the shopkeeper never said anything.


    And I can take several days off a month, almost catching up with the weekends. So overall, I''m still very happy.


    Xiang Nan took advantage of his time selling vegetables and walked around Qixia Town, trying to find the old man who was painting.


    But he searched all over the Seven Heroes Town and still couldn''t find him.


    It really disappoints Xiang Nan.


    …


    Xiang Nan then returned to the inn to prepare for the lunch market.


    Around 11 o''clock, the inn started to pick up guests one after another.


    Xiang Nan also returned to the kitchen and started working.


    ?Although in the play, the shopkeeper said that Li Dazui didn’t know how to cook, in fact, Li Dazui could cook quite a few dishes. There are as many as 30 cold dishes and hot dishes combined.


    It’s just that there is no change, and it’s easy to get tired of it if you eat it often. In addition, I don’t control the amount of salt well and it’s always too salty, so people always complain about my poor cooking skills.


    ?However, this is not a problem for Xiang Nan. He can make customers smile with a little skill.


    ?Sure enough, at noon, Xiang Nan served the dishes to the diners one by one according to their menus.


    Fish-flavored eggplant, crispy pork slices, oily pork, pepper beef fillet, steamed pork with rice flour, Yangchun noodles…


    “Hey, today’s dish tastes good.” Shopkeeper Ge ate the pepper beef fillet and nodded with satisfaction.


    “Hey, Lao Bai, let me tell you, my craftsmanship has improved recently. It’s really good.” Mr. Chen also said with satisfaction.


    “You from the waiting room, these ten cents will be given to the cook.” Mr. Zheng handed out the ten cents and said.


    “Thank you, Mr. Zheng.” Bai Zhantang smiled and took the money, “After you have eaten, walk slowly~”


    As soon as Mr. Zheng left, Tong Xiangyu immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards Bai Zhantang, "Bring it here~"
