Chapter 2327 Return to the Inn
Zhao Xi glanced at his room with a look of disgust and said, "I can't sleep well."
It seemed that he couldn't sleep well because there was an extra person in the room.
In fact, he deliberately waited here for Meng Yunzheng to come back. He knew that he should come back at about this time. If he didn't come out to usher people into the room, it would be easy to expose him when other innkeepers came to work.
Sure enough, the person came back.
Zhao Xi was about to find an excuse to let him enter the room and change back with the waiter. Who knew that before he could speak, he heard Meng Yunzheng say, "Mr. Zhao, I have already found the jackfruit you asked me to buy. Don't worry, it must be the sweetest and sweetest." That’s good. How about I send it to you now so that you don’t get busy later and forget about it.”
Zhao Xi was a little surprised. He didn't know what jackfruit was. But the tacit understanding developed over the years made him quickly understand that something unexpected had happened.
He immediately followed Meng Yunzheng's words and said, "Eh, you found it so quickly? You are quite fast in doing things. Okay, then you can send it over and let me take a look. If it's not good, I won't want it."
"Hehe, of course we have to do our best for what the guests tell us. Mr. Zhao, wait a moment, I will get it for you right now."
After saying that, they ran away.
After a while, he came back upstairs carrying a basket.
There were two people in the room not far away on the second floor. They had been staring at the movement here. At this time, they saw the waiter coming up with something on his back. They immediately looked at each other and talked in a low voice, "Why do you want jackfruit when you are so good?"
"I even put it on my back in a basket. This basket is not small."
"You can definitely hide someone in here."
"Isn't that Master Qi inside?"
"Let's go and have a look."
The people in the room opened, and one of them walked over while yawning. When he walked to Meng Yunzheng's side, he turned his feet and pressed his whole body against him.
Meng Yuncheng let out a low cry and quickly stabilized his body, but he fell to the ground. The cloth covering the basket fell off, and the two huge jackfruits inside also fell directly to the ground.
With this fall, the jackfruit cracked and both were broken.
The person following him was stunned. Is this basket really filled with jackfruit?
Meng Yuncheng lowered his head, trying not to let the other party see his face, and said anxiously, "This, what should I do? It's all broken."
The person who was following him came to his senses and said immediately, "I'm sorry, I was careless. I will pay for the jackfruit."
With that said, he took out the broken silver from his pocket and stuffed it directly into Meng Yuncheng's arms. He said a few more words of "I'm sorry" and hurried back to the room. He didn't want to stay in front of Zhao Xi for too long, so as not to be suspected, he didn't dare to pester him.
As soon as he left, Zhao Xi frowned and said, "If your jackfruit is broken, I can't keep it."
Meng Yuncheng stood up immediately, "I'll change them for you. Mr. Zhao, please wait for me for a moment. I'll buy two more right away. I have money."
After saying that, he put the two broken jackfruits into the basket, carried them on his back and went downstairs.
Zhao Xi let out a 'tsk' sound, looked at his back and shook his head, "It's too careless."
He just waited for a while, and Meng Yuncheng came back again. He seemed very tired, and he went upstairs. "Mr. Zhao, I changed it for you. Don't worry, it will be big and sweet."
Zhao Xi nodded and turned sideways, "Okay, you carry me in."
