Chapter 66: Driving the Tiger and Swallowing the Wolf (1)

As soon as it was time to get the lights, the deserted Shuyu Alley gradually became lively during the day.

There were some servants dressed in green clothes and hats from each house. They swept the snow in front of their doors and cleaned the streets in front of their doors. The big buckets carried the night fragrance sent from the small corner door and handed them away to the manure trucks. They didn't forget to smoke the pine fragrance around the small corner door so that the smell of night fragrance would not leak and smoke the distinguished guests who had arrived after a while.

The freshly baked snacks are naturally delivered by time-honored brands, and the fresh and popular fruits are also worshipped by the farmers outside Sijiu City. The famous Bada House in Sijiu City, the swallowtail mats that were ordered early in the spring of Bada, and the Cantonese cuisine mats were all packed with large food boxes and people were carried over. The young man who placed the plates had to wrap his shoes with green cloth before entering the Shuyuan. He said that he was afraid that soil would stick under his feet and trampled it to pieces. The blue brick floor that had just been scrubbed three times in the Shuyuan!

It was just the tenth day, and many buyers and sellers who settled the bills were holding the account books by the small club gate, waiting for the madam who was the head of the book house in the book house. The big teapot was swung a small hand towel and a hookah. They all nodded and greeted her with a sweet voice. Then they carefully handed the account books they had prepared in front of others, waiting for the madams who were talking and scolding, and threw down more or less money from the big teapot.

After all the big lanterns illuminated in front of the doors of each house were hung, men in exquisite long gowns or suits and ties appeared at the intersection of Shuyu Hutong. Some people who knew each other would bow and greet each other, and then walked towards the Shuyu Hutong, where they had their own sets of seats.

He shrugged his shoulders and raised his voice. He was in the big teapot at the door of the Shuyuan and immediately greeted his customers. Before the people could approach the people, the flattering and complimenting voice had already ringed in an alley: "Hey, my boss Ren, if you don't come again, my baby girl really has to ignore the ground and look for you at home! You don't know, so I beat you up when I left last night, but my baby girl didn't blink for a night, just muttering to you."

"Wow, I've burned Gaoxiang today. I've opened my eyes and learned from you! Manager Cui, this gold watch on your wrist is so scared that it's the only one in the city of Sijiu? It's dark, but the gold watch on your wrist is in a flash, and I think it's sun again?"

"Master, you can prepare everything for you! Is there a guest today? You go in and sit down first. I'll wait for you here. I'll definitely not miss you! Please give me a message. I'll invite you tonight. Is it Yang Gaoshen from the Republic of China government?"

The bookstore, which had arrived early, immediately closed the door after welcoming the last guest into the bookstore. After passing half an incense stick, the bookstore that closed the door also heard the sound of rock-scissors and silk and bamboo.

The two large teapots that were so clean that they were welcomed by spring had already stood at the door of the Shuyuan for half an hour. Seeing that it was getting dark, there was still a customer who had been waiting for the guests in spring.

Secretly, he took out a small lump of cigarette paste from the bag in his sleeve and swallowed it. Xing Laoba sucked his eyebrows and his eyes slanted. He sniffed hard, and raised his head to the big teapot Bai Laizi standing opposite him and shouted: "Who else is he here today? It's dark now, why haven't he come to the door yet? Isn't it because the yellow-faced woman at home can't move?"

He also touched a lump of cigarette paste and threw it into his mouth. He put it on a melon-skin hat covering his head with a dysentery and rolled his eyes and shook his head: "I can't say that! The post I came to hand in the afternoon is Mr. Xiong who poked a pole on Zhushikouer Street, and invited Mr. Duan, the patrol officer in Zhushikouer Street. Some of the people who were accompanying him next to him were all famous Qingke bamboo strips in Sijiu City."

By taking the small lump of cigarette paste to resist the addiction, Xing Laoba rolled his eyes in surprise: "You said that the gangsters on the street treat us, when did they change to our library to play? Didn't they all lead those half-large officials to hit the mourning people in the half-closed door? They also invited cleaners to accompany them? You see, the noodles have already been eaten, and it doesn't seem like they are waiting for some precious guests, but they have to wait outside to see what's going on?"

The satin jacket he was wearing tightly tightly, Bai Laizi shook his head like a rattle: "No way! The weather is not right these days, and it's just October, so cold that people's bones are getting cold. It's not surprising that they will do anything evil."

Before Bai Laizi could finish his shivering a few times, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared from the corner of Shuyu Hutong, and walked straight towards Chun Shuyu.

Then, Bai Laizi looked at the man who was dressed in a bulging manner by the big lantern hanging in front of the door of Chunshuyuan, and looked at the man who was dressed like a wealthy person. Then he looked at the half-grown child beside him, and immediately let out the breath that had just been lifted with cigarette paste.

The one who dressed up like this has been entertained by all the alleys in Shuyu Hutong. It was the following of the customers. If you were a little polite, you could also set up a table in the side hut and serve a few vegetarian dishes to get a special mat for the followers. If you encounter something that is not very particular, squatting in the corner of the wall and giving a bowl of rotten noodles is a treat!

Listeningly, Bai Laizi shouted at the strong man walking in front of him: "Who is he with? Today, the grandpas are carrying several grandpas with him, and the mats they have been placed have almost eaten."

Without waiting for Bai Laizi's ignorant door to finish shouting, the half-grown child behind him was already shouting in a stern voice: "Hey! I've really seen this big teapot with spring guards is just looking down at people with a slutty look?! Which eye do you have to take to see that our man is Changsui and follower? Let me tell you clearly that Mr. Xiong, who poked a pole on the street at Zhuchengkou, and Mr. Duan, the patrol chief, are waiting for us, and we are still leading the way in a straightforward way?"

He asked the half-old child to snatch the white ones, and the white leper was so angry!

People say that in front of bald people, not to mention the moon, pointing at the pockmarkets and not to mention the cakes. They don’t mention the name in the bookstore. Even if they pull off their pants as the curtains, they will call out the "always urging" in front of the big teapot, but these half-grown children

I just use words to stab people’s hearts!

Without waiting for Bai Laizi to speak again, the strong man who had already walked to the door of Chunshuyuan raised his hand slightly and accidentally threw a piece of ocean into Bai Laizi's arms: "It's already late, don't let Mr. Xiong, Mr. Duan wait for us anymore, lead the way in front!"

Although he was just thrown into his arms by a large ocean, Bai Laizi still felt that his ribs were hurt by the ocean through two or three layers of thick clothes. After looking at the skeleton of the strong man's body, Bai Laizi, who had seen in some scenes, immediately changed into a smile, nodded and bowed to the skeleton and said in a flattering manner: "Hey, I thanked this master for the reward first! Please come here, Mr. Xiong, Mr. Duan, but you have come early."

He gave a wink at Jiuhouer who was following him, and Xiang Youbao, who had just changed into clean clothes, followed Bai Laizi, and walked straight to the Chunshu House.

Since it is a land area that is specially used to make a fuss, the layout of ordinary book houses is also considered to be exquisite. The half-true Taihu stone, the Huangshan pine that turns bends in the curve, the dead pool is full of a few leaves of residual lotus, and a few strings of copper bells hanging on the living wooden stakes. If you don’t look closely or be serious, you can also be considered to have some elegant scenery.

Especially in this spring book apartment, I don’t know if I really invited experts who understand the scenery to help build it. In the yard that is not too big, I asked someone to lay out half of the pond with fine sand and pebbles, and then pad a few pieces of rammed earth in the pond to feed a few clusters of bamboo. Maybe I can’t tell the meaning during the day, but at night I took a lantern to light it, and the pond as big as a palm could make people see the smell of the winding paths deeper and deep water!

Following the dry land on the other side, three pavilions were built in a long corridor, including round, square and star anise. The pavilions were also wooden tables, bamboo benches, stone chessboards, each with its own differences.

Walking along the corridor to the end, two small buildings were separated from left and right. One of them had only two or three oil lamps on, while the other was brightly lit. The sound of the rock-scissors and movements came quietly through the door, revealing a sense of liveliness.

Through the door, Bai Laizi, who was leading the way in front, reached out and pushed open the carved grille door, and shouted at the people who were performing the game in the room, "A distinguished guest is here!"

Just waiting for the carved grille door to open, Xiang Youbao immediately changed into a smile and bowed to Master Duan, who was already drunk and blushed: "Mr. Duan, Master Xiong, all men, I'm one step late here, I'm sorry, all men!"

He drained a large glass of Shanxi Laofenjiu in his hand in one gulp. Master Xiong, who was sitting next to Master Duan, squinted his eyes and drank red. He whispered a wine in his mouth and shouted and followed Xiang Youbao's words: "Don't say anything else, I'll punish three or three big bowls first!"

In the midst of his mouth and echoing, Mr. Duan, who was sitting on the main seat, nodded frequently: "I deserve a punishment! I deserve a punishment!"

He generously took the wine bowl handed over by the little girl serving at the wine table. Xiang Youbao raised his hand and grabbed the copper wine pot warmed in the wine plug on the table, and poured a bowl of Shanxi Laofenjiu: "Master Duan, Master Xiong has spoken, then I will refuse to obey my orders, but I am really ignorant of politeness! Master, I will do it first!"
