Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

The setting sun slanted into Chaimen Street, giving the playful old man and yellow dog a warm golden edge.

Yang Ge looked at this warm picture, and the smile lines at the corners of his mouth slowly climbed up to the corners of his eyes...

"How long have you been here?"

He stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Shopkeeper Liu responded with a smile: "I just came here."

After a pause, he turned his eyes and looked at the row of grain carts behind Yang Ge, and asked with concern: "Why did you buy so much grain at once? It's not cost-effective!"

"You go inside and sit for a while. We'll talk in detail later...Brother Mang, sit inside."

Yang Ge took out the key and opened the courtyard door, calling the guys at the grain store to unload the grain into the yard.

"Hey, your yard is so elegant..."

…

"Drink some water."

After settling the food, Yang Ge brought two bowls of cold boiled water and handed them to the two men sitting under the grape trellis.

Shopkeeper Liu took the water bowl and put it in his hand, and asked the same question again: "You bought about a thousand kilograms of grain today, right? What do you think?"

Liu Mang also stared at Yang Ge curiously.

Yang Ge pondered for a moment and said cryptically: "I have heard some rumors recently, and I feel that the price of food may not return to the original price for a while. If you have a lot of money, you might as well stock up on three to five months' rations." ...You have food in your hands and don’t panic!”

He said it rather implicitly.

But shopkeeper Liu was still startled. He didn't even bother to drink the water he fed to his mouth, and asked: "Three to five months? What did you hear?"

Yang Ge replied vaguely: "It's nothing, I just feel that the current situation is not quite right... You said we didn't hear of drought or flood anywhere this year, right? Why did the price of food suddenly rise? What? In this area of ​​Luting County, who dares to drive up the price of food?"

Luting County is said to be ordinary, and it is indeed ordinary. The city is not big, there are not many people, and the economy is not developed.

It can be said that it is not ordinary, but it is indeed extraordinary. After all, it is the gateway to Luoyang and the important place in Gyeonggi Province!

Shopkeeper Liu seemed to have some realization, and a look of worry slowly appeared on his weathered face.

Seeing that the old shopkeeper understood, Yang Ge casually changed the subject: "By the way, you and Brother Mang are here today to discuss the matter of the inn, right?"

Shopkeeper Liu put away his worry and turned to look at the only son with disdain: "Should you handle the explanation for me by yourself, or should I do it?"

When Yang Ge heard that this meant Yougua, he quickly picked up the water bowl and looked like he was all ears.

Liu Mang glanced at his father with dissatisfaction, put down his tea bowl and patted Yang Ge's shoulder affectionately: "What the old man means is..."

Shopkeeper Liu lowered his head to drink water: "Hmph!"

The words in Liu Mang's mouth immediately changed, and he said with a sneer: "What my father means is that our inn will be opened and my martial arts school will not be left behind. From now on, little brother, you, since you are the shopkeeper of our inn, He is also the instructor of my martial arts school and gets two wages!"

"this……"

Yang Ge looked at the old shopkeeper dumbfounded: "This is not like your style!"

Unspoken meaning: ‘He can’t carry it clearly, why can’t you carry it clearly? ’

Liu Mang immediately said: "What does the matter of our young people have to do with an old guy like him? Brother, just listen to me. From now on, we will run a martial arts gym side by side, and I will take care of your popular and spicy food." , begging for a room with a pretty woman..."

"uh-huh."

Shopkeeper Liu coughed hard, and Liu Mang closed his mouth with dissatisfaction.

Yang Ge glanced at Liu Mang, then shook his head and said to Shopkeeper Liu: "Old shopkeeper, you have to think carefully about this matter. It's easy to get involved in wielding swords and guns. You can think about it later. It will be difficult to let go.”

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu shook his head and sighed: "The current world is not as good as it was during Taizong's reign. If something bad comes, we can't hide even if we want to. There is also a door god who dances with guns and sticks at home and says, maybe one day It can be more stable.”

At this point, he glanced at Liu Mang helplessly and said seriously: "Besides, you have seen the temper of your rich brother. Even if he is willing to run the inn, we probably won't be able to live in peace for a few days. Well, can you help him guard it for one year, two years, or for the rest of his life?"

"Since there is no way to stop him from the left or right, let him simply let him go through the trouble. Maybe one day if his arm or leg is broken, he will be at ease and not have to go through the trouble anymore!"

"Brother, you are a down-to-earth and thoughtful person. If you can help this loser, it will be his blessing. If you really don't want to mess with this loser, let's stop here!"

"This little thing is not worth affecting the friendship between our two families."

Liu Mang was anxious for a long time. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to say: "Old man, I'm not as good at burying people as you are..."

Shopkeeper Liu: "Shut up!"

Yang Ge: "Shut up!"

The two spoke at the same time, their expressions and tone were as if they were carved from the same mold.

Liu Mang shrank his neck, then immediately stiffened his neck and shouted with a blushing face: "Okay, okay, you two are trying to push me so hard, aren't you? I'm leaving, can't I leave?"

He said he wanted to leave, but the nails on his butt as firmly as nails did not move at all on the small bench.

Yang Ge ignored the man's shouting, sighed heavily to Shopkeeper Liu, and said with a wry smile: "You know me, I just want to live a simple and relaxed life, spend less brain and energy..."

Shopkeeper Liu then sighed: "We know we're embarrassing you, but who told us to end up with such an ineffective thing?"

Liu Mang heard the meaning behind their words, and his dissatisfied shouts gradually subsided.

Yang Ge held his arms and looked directly at Liu Mang like a teacher looking at a student.

Liu Mang cocked his neck and looked at him, but his heart felt weak for no reason.

After being silent for a while, Yang Ge suddenly said: "May I ask, is Brother Mang engaged?"

Liu Mang shook his head in confusion.

Shopkeeper Liu also sighed and shook his head.

Yang Ge lowered his arms and said: "Okay, you can ask me to help Brother Mang, but the condition is that Brother Mang must get married and have children as soon as possible!"

Liu Mang suddenly jumped up: "What does this have to do with getting married?"

Shopkeeper Liu: "Which innocent girl would like him!"

Yang Ge waved his hand to Shopkeeper Liu, looked directly at Liu Mang's big red face, and said seriously: "There are no outsiders here, so I won't hide them... In this world, opening a martial arts school is indeed a way out. But with your current reckless and impetuous temper, whether it will work or not depends on the weather, but it is certain that you will cause trouble and break the law!"

"Don't tell me that you will become calm after becoming the master of a martial arts gym. Ask yourself if you believe it!"

"So, just make sure you get married and start a career. As long as you are willing to get married and have children, I believe you will change your reckless and impetuous temperament!"

"If you are willing to succeed, I can give up my life to help you. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Furthermore……"

Yang Ge glanced at Shopkeeper Liu: "With descendants, if you are beaten to death outside one day, your old Liu family will not be cut off, right?"

For the sake of shopkeeper Liu, he didn't mind spending more time to help Liu Mang set up the martial arts gym.

Just as he and Shopkeeper Liu judged, the current situation is not good, and opening a martial arts school is indeed a good way out...

But he can't always be Liu Mang's nanny and chase him to wipe his butt!

Therefore, Liu Mang still had to be able to become a master.

The two men were stunned for a moment, and their eyes twitched together.

Liu Mang: "No!"

Shopkeeper Liu: "This is great!"
