Chapter 21 Restaurant Negotiations
Blackbeard's eyes widened, and he carefully observed the thing in his hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This thing is round and flat, yellow in appearance, soft in texture, and has some green scraps on it, exuding a smell that Sean is not used to.
He sniffed carefully, licked carefully, and turned his head to look at Hans.
"I can't eat you. It's called flatbread, the breakfast of the remnants, and they're not used to eating bread. Hans held the so-called flatbread in his right hand, and took a bite off half of it, and in his left hand he held a long strip of toasted golden object, which was a little brittle and peeled off when touched.
"Hell, I'm going to know a lot from Shaun to everything, I'm going to know?" retorted Sean, who bit off half of the cake and fell the crumbs onto his black beard, "I'm savoring it." Sean, I, like to try all kinds of new things, eat cakes and eat cakes, unlike you, who take a loaf of bread and are afraid that I won't get used to it. ”
Hans looked at the long strip in his left hand and said, "It's called a fritter." ”
Sean blinked, and he quickly changed the subject: "I underestimated you, Hans, you adapt quite quickly in Sunset Province. ”
Hans gave way to a donkey cart loaded with large bags of goods. The two bodyguards behind him did not say a word, turned sideways to get out of the way of the donkey cart, and hurried to follow Hans's footsteps.
"I'm not like you, in the mountains, I have what to eat, and I'm never picky. Flatbread and fritters are much more delicious than tree bark and grass roots. Hans took Sean's words, "If you are begging for a life here, you should adapt to it." ”
"Hey, you don't look down on me, at sea, I have what to eat, kelp fish, tuna, what to eat. Sean slapped the crumbs off his beard, "Bah, I can't get used to this." ”
Today's weather is very good, cloudless. Since the city gate was opened, several main roads in Yuhua City have been flowing endlessly. The gendarmes, some on horseback and some on foot, patrolled the streets. The remnants of the Rising Sun Empire saw the gendarmes and consciously gave way to the way.
Qilin Street is bustling with activity, and in the commercial district, vendors set up stalls along the street, shouting one after another.
"Hairpins, beautiful hairpins, sir, buy one. The peddler was a relic, shouting, and his stall was full of delicate knick-knacks, which Blackbeard had never seen.
Blackbeard took the hairpin and looked at it carefully in the sun, a slender and long brass stick, decorated with a pale pink peony flower.
"Hey, that's exquisite, Hans, do you think this thing looks good in a cutie?" Sean asked, turning his head. Recently, his relationship with Zoya Cassandra has been getting better and better, and he has become accustomed to calling her "cutie".
Hans stood with the two bodyguards, looked down at the street, did not look back, and replied, "Whatever you like, as long as you like." ”
Sean put the hairpin in his pocket, came to Hans's side, and asked, "Ever since I met Cervantes in the tavern, I have been thinking that you have always been weird, what is on your mind?"
Sean remembers very well that he and Hans were chased all over the streets by Wolf's bodyguards, and finally defeated Wolfe, Hans was invited to negotiate by Cervantes, and he was invited to drink in the tavern. After coming out, Hans told Sean that he was going to Sunset Province, accompanied by the merchant Cervantes and his six bodyguards.
They traveled all the way south through the Suluz Canal, disembarked at DoubleTree City, rented a carriage, and walked for several days before finally arriving at Yuhua City.
Hans's eyes were fixed on the Rhodes woman on the road, silent.
"Oh, I see, I miss a woman. Sean stroked his beard, "I bid for 250 Reichsmarks that day, and I bought such a big room. At the end of the negotiations, I wanted to find a few remnant chicks, but you pulled me away. Do you regret it?"
Hans gave Sean a blank look and said fiercely, "If you don't mention it, forget it, let me ask you: Why did you choose a brothel as the location of the negotiation? Why do you spend money indiscriminately?"
Sean was angry when he heard this, and he shouted: "Do you know what to do? The tea merchant surnamed Bao is good at this." After the negotiation is completed, I would like to order the top card there to show my sincerity. The conversation fell apart. The devil knows what Cervantes talked about. ”
Hans grabbed Sean's beard: "What are you yelling at, you want everyone on the street to hear?"
Damn, don't pull my beard, how many times have you said it. Sean stroked his beard distressedly, "Spend money indiscriminately, how can you make money without costing." Damn, you're questioning my professionalism. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you're not a businessman. Hans smiled contemptuously, resting his hand on the hilt of his dagger and staring at the Rhodes woman passing by.
"Every navigator is a born businessman. Sean deliberately referred to the pirate as a navigator, "Hey, I say, why did you choose to partner with Cervantes in business? He always had a gloomy face and asked him what business he did, and he said that he would do whatever he wanted to make money. ”
Hans didn't answer, and walked forward.
Sean followed, looking back at the two bodyguards not far behind him. He said: "Cervantes' two bodyguards are always following you, they must be afraid that you will run away. If you have money, he thinks that what he loses will be counted as yours, and everyone will share what he earns. ”
Hans stopped and looked around. Sean spoke to himself and almost bumped into it.
"Hey, do you hear me say?" Sean frowned, "You have so much money to do costs, it's not easy to make money? We just need to find the right product. What else are Cervantes doing?"
Hans hurriedly stepped forward, pushed away passers-by, and pulled a red-haired woman past, who turned his face and quickly apologized.
"Oh, I see, you're for Serena. Sean mouthed off, "Boy, you're all for this thief." Ahhh
"Yes, I did come here to find her, and she said that she would escort the impostor back to the province with the one-armed man. Hans tugged at Sean's beard, lowered his voice, and said viciously, "Don't call her that!
Sean nodded again and again, he touched his beard distressedly, and asked, "Then what are your plans?" The fake magician said that returning to the Rixing Province is not the same as returning to Yuhua City. During this period, we went to Fort Thunder again, and there was a sea of people, how to find it?"
"Use your brain, negotiator. Hans's tone was playful, "Do you think I followed Cervantes just to discuss business? There are so many famous families in Yuhua City, make a few such friends, and ask them to help find Sun Guanglong." ”
Sean snorted, he didn't dare to refute, for fear that his beard would be pulled off. He looked at it and said, "What are you doing here? This is a restaurant, hungry?"
"Cervantes made an appointment with Xu Rong, a famous businessman in Yuhua City, to discuss business here. Hans and his two bodyguards looked around carefully to make sure there was no situation, and then walked inside.
"A few guest officers, business is good today, the lobby is full, can you wait for a while?" The shopkeeper said with his hands when he saw Hans and the others.
Blackbeard looked around, there were mostly remnants sitting here, some of them were drinking and fist-fighting, some were sitting together, and when they saw Hans and the others, they showed disgusted expressions.
"This place has been renovated?" Blackbeard's sharp eyes as he saw the freshly painted paint on the pillars of the lobby, a reddish color that contrasted with the dark red at the bottom of the pillars.
"Yes, it was refurbished in April. The guest officer has a good eye. The shopkeeper nodded and said, "When that table is finished, I will arrange for you." ”
"Why are you trying to drive us away?" and are in a hurry to turn over the table?" said a remnant in his 40s, with his coat open, his back against the wall, and his foot on a bench. ”
"Yes, we're not leaving, just let the Rhodes wait. The man at the other table laughed, "Go on, dry the wine." ”
Sean blinked and whispered to Hans: "Something is wrong, I heard that in the Sunset Province, the remnants of the people walk to avoid the Rhodes, but now it's good, the rats are bullying the cats." ”
"you, who do you say?" a drunken man, with his face and nose flushed, smashed the bowl on the table, and the wine splashed himself.
"Yes, who do you say is the mouse?" the other tall and thin man also stood up, pointing at Blackbeard and shouting, "You don't inquire, Lord Wu is the assistant to the Governor, the Red Man of the Governor." ”
Sean and Hans stared wide-eyed.
"Did I hear me right?" Sean touched his ears, "Orphans as assistant governors, what is Olaf Kruger's mind thinking?"
The shopkeeper pulled Sean over and said softly, "Two guest officers, why don't you find another place?"
Sean snorted and said in a snort, "Your blackbearded grandfather is too lazy to quarrel with you." Is there a private room here? Pick me the biggest, brightest. ”
Several of the remnants in the corner looked at each other, their eyes green.
Hans grabbed Sean and whispered, "Shut up! Big mouth, you want to tell the people here that I have money in my pocket, come and grab it?"
Sean shook his head and whispered, "The gendarmes don't eat dry food. Oh shit, my beard!"
Hans grabbed Sean by the beard and said, "I'm sorry, guys, my subordinates lack discipline. You use it slowly, we wait slowly. ”
Sean jumped to his feet in anger, he kicked Hans lightly, and whispered, "Nonsense, how did I become your subordinate." ”
At this moment, a man came down the stairs, dressed in a brown shirt, and asked, "Two, look at the looks, this is Hans, and this is Shaun the Blackbeard?"
"It's your Grandpa Blackbeard. Sean said angrily, "Hans, the captain of my bodyguards, and 2 bodyguards in the back, dare to try it." ”
The man smiled, he winked at the shopkeeper, and said, "Two, I'm sorry I'm late for the greeting." My master has hoped for you. Upstairs private room, please. ”
"Who is your master?" Blackbeard wondered.
"Xu Rong, Lord Xu. The man made a gesture of please, "My friend of the two, Master Cervantes has already arrived. ”
Sean followed the man upstairs with Hans, and as he passed the hallway in the middle of the lobby, he shrugged his nose at the remnants in the corner and gestured with his little finger.
"My mother, isn't she just a speculator who doesn't know anything. Sean said dissatisfiedly, "If he wants to be able to talk business, why does he want your Blackbeard grandfather to do it?"
