The evening breeze blows on my face, with the aroma of barbecue.

Li Luotang, who had just come out of the restaurant and had dinner, suddenly felt hungry again, "Eat some barbecue and go back to the inn."

"Didn't you have enough supper?" Yi Jing asked with a smile.

"No, I just smell the fragrance and want to eat something." Li Luotang smiled embarrassedly.

"Then go and have something to eat." Gu Ting smiled.

The three of them went to the barbecue stall and ordered ten barbecue kebabs and three barbecue fish.

The meat was on the grill and was roasted by charcoal fire. The hot oil slid down the meat's lines and fell into the charcoal fire. The aroma of oil was emitted, which was extremely tempting.

"Three young men, please use it slowly." The stall owner used a wooden plate to deliver the meat skewers and grilled fish, and also served three cups of tea.

Li Luotang reminded: "We don't have any orders of this."

The stall owner smiled and said, "This is a free gift, barley tea, which relieves heat and relieves greasiness."

"Boss, you are very good at doing business!" Li Luotang praised with a smile.

"Thanks to the neighbors' support." The stall owner smiled and returned to the grill and continued to grill.

The meat is grilled by charcoal fire and is already full of aroma, plus salt and spicy sauce.

Tender, crispy, fresh and salty, churning in the mouth, full of meaty aroma.

While enjoying the food, Li Luotang suddenly heard a noise. He saw a group of gangsters walking from the other side of the street cursing.

They stopped from time to time, scolded the stall owners, and blackmailed money.

As they swayed, they arrived at the barbecue stall.

"Bang" a gangster slapped the table hard, "Give me a bowl of iced black plum soup."

Before the stall owner could answer, another gangster slapped the table hard, "Are you deaf or your leg broken? Why don't you bring the black plum soup you want?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Masters, we don't sell black plum soup here, there is barley tea. Do you want to drink a cup?"

"The barley tea has a smoky smell. Is that what people drink?" The gangster slapped the table again.

Except for Li Luotang and the other two tables of guests were scared and slipped away quietly.

"There should be a cold lotus seed soup?" One of the thugs rubbed his nose, "Give me a bowl of it each."

"Masters, this is a stall selling barbecue, not lotus seed soup." The stall owner rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"Ha, there's nothing, you dare to set up a stall!"

"Hear his stall."

The gangsters shouted so hard, but they didn't really do it. They were trying to scare people.

The stall owner took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and smiled flatteringly: "Masters, these are the ones that are young to respect you."

"Just that's it, I just want to send a few. Are you so shallow in your eyes?" The gangster thought it was too little. "If you buy a pot of wine, do you ask the two of you to take a sip of each?"

The stall owner explained helplessly: "Masters, the stall has just opened and has not yet been paid. I am still preparing to find the money for the customers, and there is really no more!"

"No money? If you don't have money, why do you set up a stall? Go home and take it! I'm waiting for you here!" The gangster pulled a bench and sat down.

The stall owner's son was young and energetic, and couldn't help but say, "Who would set up a stall if you want to have money?"

The gangster leader heard this and sneered, "Little bastard, have you learned to be stubborn before you grow your hair?"

He turned around and asked other gangsters, "How do you think of how to deal with this little bastard?"

"Slap him in the face and pull off his big teeth. See if he still dares to stumble."

"Peeling, mud, and blocking his mouth."

"Donkey, why do you always go down three ways?"

"I think he would kneel down and kowtow. He would not be allowed to get up if he didn't knock this brick off." A gangster threw the mud brick in his hand into the basin containing the meat skewers.

"The child is ignorant and can't speak. Let's spare him this time." The stall owner knelt down and begged to the gangsters.

"Dad, don't beg them." The stall owner's son went to help his father. "They make trouble every day, so we can't do business at all. It's better not to do this business."

"Shut up, don't do business, what do we eat and what we wear?" The stall owner slapped his son a few times.

"I won't do business anymore, okay, I'll help you. Come on, smash this stall! Don't leave a whole bowl!" said the gangster.

"Okay!" The gangsters raised their hands and wanted to lift the table after hearing his order.

Yi Jing pressed his palm on the table, "You sprinkled our tea."

"Huh?" The gangsters didn't expect anyone to dare to meddle in other people's business, so they looked at Yi Jing and the other two.

The gangster was on the table like a demonstration and slapped a few more times, "Don't say that I've sprinkled your tea, I've spilled the tea on your face. What can you do to me?"

"Puff" Gu Tingqing and Li Luotang tacitly picked up the cup and splashed the tea at the gangster's head.

What can it be done?

that's all.

The three of them took action, but the gangsters had no power to fight back.

"Take the money you blackmailed." Li Luotang took a bamboo stick and put it in front of the left eye of the gangster leader.

The gangster honestly took out his purse.

"Put it on the ground." Li Luotang kicked the purse to the stall owner's son, "Go and return the silver fortune to the stall owners."

"Yes, young hero." The stall owner's son picked up his purse and went to pay back the money to the stall owners.

Yi Jing and Gu Tingqiu threatened the gangsters, dislocated one of their arms and drove them away.

"Boss, are they here to collect protection fees every day?" Li Luotang asked the stall owner.

The stall owner said with a bitter look on his face: "It was not them who came yesterday."

It turned out that after Shu Kuo and his men died, other gangsters in the city began to get involved in the territory that originally belonged to Shu Kuo.

This group of people comes today, and that group of people tomorrow will cause trouble to the stall owners who do business.

"The gangsters are not pure." Li Luotang sighed.

After putting down a piece of silver, Li Luotang left the barbecue stall.

The three of them returned to the inn and went back to their rooms to take a shower and rest.

The next day, Gu Tingxian said to Li Luotang: "I have something to do today and I can't play with you anymore."

Yesterday the old monk had to go and check it out. There was such a master hidden in Kaifeng Mansion. He was worried that he would not find out his identity.

And the group of gangsters yesterday have to deal with it.

"It's okay, go and do your business." Although Li Luotang regrets that Gu Tingxian cannot accompany her, she is not an ignorant child and will not delay Gu Tingxian from doing the business.

Yi Jingze asked Li Luotang, "Tangtang, where are you going next?"

"The weather is too hot and I don't want to run around the road. I plan to stay in Kaifeng Prefecture for a while." Li Luotang had no purpose at all, so he could do whatever he wanted.

After hearing what she said, Yi Jing couldn't let her leave with him, "It's good, so let's leave here and take care of it."

"Brother Yi, you'll be safe all the way." Li Luotang bowed.

He sent Yi Jing out of the inn, watched him turn over and leave with his horse.

Li Luotang also left the inn and went to Yanqing Temple.

Yanqing Temple, originally named Chongyang Temple, is a famous Taoist temple. It is adjacent to Daxiangguo Temple in the east and Baogong Lake in the west. The scenery is beautiful.

I went to see the iron tower yesterday, and today I will visit the Taoist temple. If I still have time, I will go to see the Daxiangguo Temple and visit the Baogong Temple.
