Chapter 8 Pawnshop Owner (2), Section 27

  "Wages?" Old Hu was puzzled, Liu Xie knew he had misspoken and quickly corrected himself: "It's monthly pay, monthly pay!" After finishing, he laughed loudly and then said to Liu Yuan: "In the future, we'll have to rely on Brother Liu's care in business matters. We still have things to attend to, so we'll take our leave now!" After saying that, he stood up, bowed his hands and bid farewell.

  Liu Xuan also stood up and told Liu Yuan that his name was Xiao Lian, and the contract also read Xiao Lian. Adding his two families, one called Xiao Da and the other Xiao Er, Liu Yuan did not suspect anything and hurriedly said: "This is natural, in the future I will be friends with Master Xiao, feel free to come over and sit down whenever you have time!"

  A group of five people, under the gaze of all the employees of the pawnshop, returned to the street once again. Liu Xie was overjoyed and said with a smile: "From now on, remember that my name is Xiao Lian, and call me Dongjia after leaving the palace gate, do you understand?"

  Everyone nodded in agreement, and before they knew it, they had arrived at a wine tower. It was already noon, and after strolling around for half a day, everyone's stomachs were growling with hunger, especially Xiao Da and Xiao Er. The two of them were carrying large and small packages, which were all physical labor, and when they smelled the delicious food in the wine tower, they couldn't take another step. Liu Xie secretly smiled to himself, and as he walked forward, he led everyone into the wine tower. The wine tower was quite large, and business was booming. In the main hall, there were dozens of square tables that were all occupied, with no empty seats in sight. On both sides were simple private rooms, each separated by a cloth curtain. Although you couldn't see the people on the other side, if they spoke, it's likely that you could still hear them clearly. Next to the hotel counter was a winding staircase, and next to the staircase hung a small sign: "Upper floor luxury seats!" In fact, it was just a luxurious private room.

  The little waiter saw Liu Xie and several others dressed in fine clothes, with an extraordinary air about them. He hastily came over, and said with a bow: "Gentlemen, the dishes of our restaurant are famous throughout Xu Chang, please come inside, please come inside!" After finishing speaking, he bowed his body and made a welcoming gesture.

  Li Chen stepped forward and said: "Prepare a luxurious seat for us!"

  Xiao Er responded with a sound and was about to leave when Liu Xie pointed to the small room on the side and said, "Just sit there!"

  The little servant saw the leader speak, and hurriedly led the crowd to a small room. Liu Xie and Empress Fu sat down separately, and the little servant handed over the menu: "What would you like to eat?"

  Liu Xie didn't know what to eat, so he hastily handed the menu to Empress Fu. Empress Fu had been in the palace since she was a child and also didn't know what to order. The menu was passed back to Liu Xie's hands. Liu Xie said: "Just bring some of your restaurant's famous dishes, about ten or so, and a pot of high-quality good wine!"
