    Seeing that Chen Fu had turned around and walked back, the strong man quickly reached out and grabbed Chen Fu's wrist from behind.  As a result, as soon as the strong man's hand touched Chen Fu, he heard Chen Fu wailing like a pig being killed.  The strong man was stunned and quickly let go. He turned to Chen Fu and said apologetically: "Hey, I'm really sorry. I was so anxious that I couldn't control my strength." After a simple apology, the strong man again  Turning the topic to eating: "Staff, how about this, I grabbed your wrist just now. If I hurt you, you can just give us a price and all the food and medical expenses will be borne by us. How about that?" "I didn't mean to say that.  Now, it¡¯s not about the money!¡± Chen Fu, who almost had his wrist broken off, had red eyes and roared angrily.  After he finished yelling, he found that the two boys next to him were winking at him, as if to tell him that the strong man was not to be trifled with.  Recalling that just now the strong man almost broke his wrist with just a gentle squeeze, I guess he was a person who practiced martial arts all year round.  If he makes him unhappy and then destroys his own shop, who can he talk to to reason with him?  Thinking of this, Chen Fu's expression immediately changed 180 degrees, and his tone softened and he said: "Oh, my Lord, you don't look like someone who has been hungry for several days without eating. What can you do if you skip one meal?"  How? Why do you have to hold on to me? "It is true that if you miss one meal, you will not die, but whether you eat this meal or not will determine whether you will die of hunger or death on the road to hell.  These seven people are not ordinary people, they are all experts sent to the capital by Li Yuanjing.  Since they were going to take action against Hongyuan Business tonight, they knew that they would have a narrow escape tonight, so they made an appointment to have a good meal together.  In fact, not only Chen Fu was a little impatient, but also the strong man. After all, there was no time to waste talking, and the cook had already cooked a dish.  The strong man had already made up his mind that he was going to eat tonight's meal. Dangji took out something from his arms and showed it in front of Chen Fu: "If you open the door to receive guests, this will be yours!"  of.  Chen Fu didn't see clearly what the strong man was holding. Out of curiosity, Chen Fu wiped his eyes and took a closer look.  After seeing clearly what was in the strong man's hand, Chen Fu couldn't help but gasp, and his whole heart was trembling.  The reason for such a big reaction was that the strong man was holding a golden ball about the size of a walnut. Looking at the weight, it must have been four or five taels.  Just now, Chen Fu refused to open the door to welcome guests, but now he saw the golden ball shining with a faint golden light in the dark night.  Chen Fu hesitated.  Seeing Chen Fu's hesitation, the strong man realized that there was a way, and then took out another object from his arms, this time it was a pearl the size of a thumb.  Although Chen Fu didn't know much about pearls, he had been doing business all year round, so he still knew the basic prices of these things.  Just the pearl in the hands of the strong man could be sold for seven or eight taels of silver if he threw it on the market.  Gold balls and pearls, one shining with gold.  A flash of silver light made Chen Fu unable to open his eyes and stayed there for a long time, unable to speak.  Just now, Chen Fu thought that these people were idiots who couldn't spend a lot of money, but now Chen Fu realized that he was looking down on others.  And calculated it in his mind.  If he took the risk to accept these distinguished guests, not to mention the pearls, the golden ball alone would be enough for the restaurant's profit for two months.  If you don't take it, such a great opportunity will slip away from your fingertips.  After thinking about it for a while.  Chen Fu gritted his teeth and decided to accept these guests, but was caught by the official and thrown into prison.  It's just a matter of getting hit a few times.  Besides, if you wait for the official to come and bribe him with a tael of silver, you might not even have to go to the prison cell.  Chen Fu's eyes were fixed on the golden ball and pearls, and he pretended to be embarrassed: "Hey, tell me, aren't you making things difficult for me? Since you insist on doing this, I can't defeat you. But there is one thing, we will eat later  When the time comes, be careful not to let the soldiers on patrol hear you. "That's natural." The strong man nodded repeatedly.  In fact, Chen Fu doesn¡¯t need to say this, they will also implement it consciously.  After all, the entire capital is now searching for them, and it would be really difficult to deal with them if they were discovered by soldiers.  After saying that, the strong man directly stuffed the golden ball and pearl into Chen Fu's hand, led Chen Fu into the restaurant, and went straight to the inner courtyard.  Chen Fu¡¯s restaurant is not small in scale. In addition to the two-story building on the street, there is also a quite spacious yard behind the building. There is a thirty-year-old elm tree planted in the yard.  At night, it would be unique to hang a red lantern on the branches of the elm tree and set up a small table under the tree.  The only drawback is that there are more mosquitoes, and you need to have a waiter to keep them away.  However, the young man was willing to drive away mosquitoes for these distinguished guests, thinking that if the distinguished guests were happy and rewarded him with a golden bean, he would be transformed from the proletariat to the middle class.  After seating several distinguished guests who were eager to eat the "dead meal", Chen Fu quickly pulled the sleeping cook off the kang and sent the cook to cook.  The cook was anxious to go back to sleep, so he moved very quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, nine dishes and one soup, a sumptuous meal, were ready.  "Guests, please eat while I'm not here."I'm disturbing you.  "Chen Fu left a boy behind and went back to his room. When he returned to his residence, he took out the gold beads and pearls, and looked at them more and more like them by the candlelight. Just when Chen Fu was admiring the color of the gold beads and pearls with a spring breeze on his face,  There was a hurried knock on the door outside the small building: "It's broken, it's an official!"  "When he heard the knock on the door, Chen Fu was startled. He quickly hid the gold beads and pearls, and then rushed to the second floor. When he reached the door, Chen Fu held his breath, leaned on the gap in the door panel and looked out. He saw  There was no fire outside, and Chen Fu couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that it's not an official?  How could anyone be there?  " With an uneasy mood, Chen Fu asked softly through the door: "Who knocked on the door so late at night?  " A moment later, a very moving female voice sounded from behind the door: "Is there any room available in the store?  " "This is a restaurant. We don't accept guests. We want to stay in the hotel. Go east along the street. There is a posthouse there.  "Chen Fu was surprised that there was a woman out for a walk in the middle of the night, but he refused. "There are no vacancies, so it would be good to have some food.  "The beautiful voice sounded again. "The cook is asleep" Although Chen Fu was a little tempted, he still refused. After all, how can a woman come to a restaurant to eat in the middle of the night? If it wasn't a trap deliberately set by the night watchman, who was outside the door?  A woman is definitely not a 'mortal', something like a fox, a night spirit (To be continued)
