Chapter 27 Return Visit

After guiding his seat, Xu Chen looked around and found that there were still not many customers, but most of the inns earned money for food, so it doesn’t matter.

Manager Li, who received the news, came over with a smile and said, "Young Master Xu is here to help me, I probably haven't eaten yet, right?"

Xu Chen grinned and said, "How did Manager Li know that I had never eaten?"

Manager Li laughed: "That's something I guess, but it's better if I didn't eat it. I asked the people behind me to make some delicious food for Mr. Xu, and then I have the good wine I have in my own home. Mr. Xu will enjoy his face later and have a drink together!"

Xu Chen did not refuse, and nodded quickly and said yes. Then Manager Li left to arrange Xu Chen's food and drink.

In fact, Xu Chen had already thought about it. When he came to Fulai Inn, he did not need to make drastic moves to investigate the accounts and provoke others. This would make these people hide deeper. On the contrary, if he acted perfunctorily, was not concerned about things, and relaxed his guardianship, it would be easier to see what he wanted to see from Fulai Inn.

Before he could wait, the food was delivered. Although Xu Chen was a little hungry, he was not in a hurry to turn on his chopsticks. He looked at the dishes he served, such as wild pepper fried pork belly, pork heart fried flower bamboo shoots, etc., which were all home-cooked small stir-fried dishes.

"Young Master Xu has been waiting for a long time." Manager Li held a jar of wine jar in his arms and sat next to Xu Chen with a smile.

Xu Chen asked: "What kind of wine is this from Manager Li?"

"This is the Huadiao wine that I have treasured for three years."

Xu Chen knew something about Huadiao wine, like Daughter Red, Huadiao wine, and Huadiao wine is divided into three years, five years, eight years, and ten years, etc. The more you get Huadiao wine, the better, and the more you get old, it is the most expensive. However, even Huadiao wine with three years of age was probably not much in ancient times, otherwise this shopkeeper Li would not have been so aggressive.

Manager Li put down the Huadiao wine, looked it carefully and opened it. The moment he opened it, the wine was fragrant and fragrant. Xu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath. Seeing Xu Chen's appearance, Manager Li smiled and poured him a bowl first. The wine was orange and yellow. Although Xu Chen was not a drunkard, he couldn't help but be fascinated by the wine.

Manager Li also poured the bowl for himself and raised it and signaled: "Come on, Mr. Xu, I'll toast you first!"

Xu Chen smiled and raised the wine bowl: "Don't say anything about respect or not, do things for Mr. Xiao, then everyone is a family. Come and have a drink together!"

When the wine entered his throat, Xu Chen felt the sweetness and mellowness of the wine. He couldn't help but sigh that there were so many alcoholics in ancient times. It would be like this if the wine was three years old. What if it was five years old or ten years old?

"Good wine!" Xu Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the pot of Huadiao wine on the table.

Seeing this, Storekeeper Li quickly brought the wine over and said with a smile: "Come on, Mr. Xu, full! I won't go back if I'm drunk today!"

Xu Chen looked at Store Manager Li with a smile, as if he was very approving of Store Manager Li for being so sensible.

The two of them ate a few sips of vegetables and drank a few sips of wine, and they started to talk too much.

"By the way, Mr. Xu came so early today, so today's account was probably not made so soon. Why don't you check yesterday's first?" Manager Li smiled and raised his eyebrows at Xu Chen.

"Hey, what's the matter!" Xu Chen patted Manager Li's arm, as if he was a little drunk: "It's OK to check the account or not. Anyway, Manager Li has money to earn every month, which is a good thing!"

"How can this work? We all have to do things according to Mr. Xiao's requirements!"

Xu Chen snorted and said, "What is Mr. Xiao's request? That's it. What's the point of checking?"

Seeing Xu Chen's appearance a little confused, Manager Li asked slowly: "That's what you have today..."

"Okay, check it out if you have time. I will go to Qingfeng Pavilion to listen to music later. How about it, Manager Li together?" Xu Chen squinted at Manager Li.

"What can I do? Just go Mr. Xu. I have to watch it in the store."

“That’s so no fun!”

......

After the wine was full, Xu Chen looked at the table and saw that there was nothing to eat. There was not much jar of Huadiao wine, so he said to Manager Li: "I'll go to Qingfeng Pavilion to listen to the music first. Manager Li is sure not to be with him?"

Manager Li smiled and refused.

"Sweeping away." Seeing that Manager Li was unwilling to accompany him, Xu Chen raised his legs and walked out.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, hurry up. Xiao Wang, send Mr. Xu to Qingfeng Hall! Be careful on the way. If Mr. Xu falls, I will ask you!" Manager Li quickly called the waiter in the inn to see Xu Chen out.

Xiao Wang responded and helped Xu Chen, who was a little drunk, walk out.

Manager Li looked back at the leftovers on the table and then looked at Xu Chen and the others who were leaving. His eyes couldn't help but narrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Not long after, Xiao Wang returned to the inn. He approached Manager Li and whispered: "I have sent Mr. Xu to Qingfeng Hall. The madam in Qingfeng Hall seems to be very familiar with Mr. Xu. I waited outside for a while, but I didn't see Mr. Xu coming out."

"Okay, it's done well." Manager Li patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder.

Seeing this, Xiao Wang hurried back to his position. After all, he couldn't let go of his job, otherwise, the manager Li might have to be so sad.

Manager Li fell into deep thought after walking back to the account.

Xu Chen was sitting in Shiyin's boudoir at this time. He looked at the many music scores scattered on the Shiyin table. The handwriting on the music scores was not long. It seemed that Shiyin had really listened to his own words and had been trying to compose music.

There was a sound behind him. Xu Chen looked back and saw that it was Shiyin.

"I brought you a bowl of sobering soup, you should drink it soon." Shiyin seemed very happy to see Xu Chen willing to come to her.

Xu Chen smiled and took it over, and drank it without hesitation. Shi Yin felt happier when she saw it.

Shi Yin saw the music scores scattered on her table, so she hurried over to sort out the music scores.

After drinking, Xu Chen felt much more comfortable, so he put the bowl on the countertop.

"What happy things happened today? I drank this way in broad daylight." Shiyin sat next to Xu Chen after packing up.

"There is nothing happy." Xu Chen shook his head and told him about the incident at Fulai Inn today.

"So you have started to work for the Xiao family?"

"Yes, but I don't know how the wages are calculated yet." Xu Chen joked.

"I wanted to ask you to be a Mr. Poetry before. It turns out that you have already planned." Shiyin glanced at Xu Chen mischievously, "Did you fall in love with Miss Xiao?"

Xu Chen quickly denied that he had only the meaning of appreciation and respect for Xiao Lian.

Seeing Xu Chen deny it, Shi Yin smiled and didn't deliberately say anything. Anyway, Xu Chen is willing to come to Qingfeng Pavilion to find her, which is a good thing after all.

"I have been compiling music these days, come and listen." Shiyin smiled and pulled Xu Chen's hand, then walked towards the piano.
