Chapter 33: I'll Talk About Money Later
didn't hear Zuo Xiaoquan behind him follow, Zhang Maoshan glanced back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but saw Zuo Xiaoquan's depressed expression.
What kind of fuss is this? Didn't you see the hint of him squeezing his eyebrows just now?
"There is no Xiao Er in the inn here, just now you rejected the shopkeeper's kindness, and the shopkeeper doesn't sleep here. You're not coming along, are you going to rest here?"
Zuo Xiaoquan realized this and immediately followed Zhang Maoshan.
Ye Ziqi, who returned to Zhao's house, happened to meet the three people who came back from practicing martial arts: "You go to practice calligraphy first, and I will practice martial arts!"
At the beginning, Ye Zixu, who had a bit of a foundation, undoubtedly learned faster than others in terms of literacy.
But after a while, Ye Ziqi overtook Ye Zixu as if he had never forgotten it, and also invented a simple and easy-to-write font to teach them, so that the three of them had one more thing to learn.
Ye Ziqi came to a vacant lot not far from Zhao's house and began to practice martial arts intently.
Two hours later, Ye Ziqi looked at the mountains in front of him who didn't know if he could see clearly, and suddenly an idea suddenly germinated in his heart.
Before dawn the next day, the five of them got up and went to the inn.
Zhou Dapeng got up and came to the kitchen to see the five people and was taken aback, he didn't expect that the five people were earlier than him.
"Uncle Zhou, don't be stunned, hurry up and start preparing!" Ye Ziqi said when he saw Zhou Dapeng who was stunned.
Zhou Dapeng reacted and said, "Oh, oh!"
The genius was shining, and Xu Mingyang and his party got up and cleaned themselves up. When I went downstairs to the lobby, I was surprised to see the hot food on the table.
"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't miss your time. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot!" Zhou Dapeng said when he saw Xu Mingyang.
Zhou Dapeng's reminder made Xu Mingyang wake up, and immediately beckoned everyone to eat and hurry.
When everyone had finished eating and went to the stable to lead the horses, Ye Ziqi stopped Xu Mingyang and said, "Uncle Xu, I know you didn't bring dry food with you. It's at least five hours before the next inn, so we've made some bamboo rice for you to eat halfway through. ”
This bamboo rice was thought of by Ye Ziqi when he faced the mountains last night. It was also the five of them who were busy for most of the night. It can be said that several people barely slept last night.
Xu Mingyang looked at the basket of bamboo rice that Ye Zixu and Ye Zicheng carried and placed at his feet, and said gratefully: "Let you bother!
Ye Ziqi waved his hand and said, "These are given to you for free! If we want to accept your money, we won't make our own decisions!"
Xu Mingyang said: "How can this work?"
Ye Ziqi said: "If Uncle Xu feels uncomfortable, you can tell the merchants who come and go on this road more about the changes in the inn here." ”
Xu Mingyang quickly understood Ye Ziqi's intentions, and accepted her kindness.
When Xu Mingyang was about to carry the basket to help the dart master who loaded the carriage, he heard Ye Ziqi say: "Uncle Xu, what are you going to do with the sick horse?"
Thinking of the horse that made them stay for a day, Xu Mingyang was embarrassed.
Ye Ziqi took the opportunity to say: "Uncle, don't you sell it to us." ”
Looking at the bamboo rice in the basket, Xu Mingyang said: "There is no need to sell it, it is also a burden for us to carry it, Uncle Xu will give it to you, it will be regarded as a gift for our acquaintance!"
Riding a horse and archery is something that must be learned for people who practice martial arts, and Xu Mingyang didn't think much about Ye Ziqi's purchase of horses.
For them now, silver is a very precious thing, Xu Mingyang's kindness Ye Ziqi was very happy, but said, "How is this embarrassing?"
Ye Ziqi's happy expression had already betrayed her mind at the moment, and Xu Mingyang did not expose it and deliberately said with a straight face: "You look down on my gift?"
"How come?" Seeing Xu Mingyang's face change, Ye Ziqi immediately agreed: "That Ziqi has thanked Uncle Xu for this great gift!"
"That's pretty much it!" Xu Mingyang smiled and carried the bamboo tube rice to load the carriage with the dart master.
After sending the group away, Zhou Dapeng took out the five taels of silver that had been prepared and handed it to the five people and said, "I don't know if this is fair to you, but I can only give you so much first!"
Ye Ziqi gently pushed away Zhou Dapeng's hand and said: "These silver are very useful to Uncle Zhou, about our remuneration in the future, when the inn has improved, it is time to calculate." ”
Zhou Dapeng hesitated for a moment, and took out one or two of them: "The gift meal still has to be provided by Uncle Zhou!"
Ye Ziqi still didn't accept the silver in Zhou Dapeng's hand: "I just wanted to discuss this matter with Uncle Zhou." ”
"What's the matter?"
Ye Ziqi looked at Zhou Dapeng's hand holding the silver and said, "Uncle Zhou, put the silver away." ”
Zhou Dapeng saw Ye Ziqi's expression that I wouldn't say if you don't take back the silver, so he reluctantly took back the hand that was handed in the air.
Ye Ziqi said: "If the business of the inn is really good in the future, not only the rice, but also the dishes will not be enough." So I hope Zhou Bo will prepare well as soon as possible. ”
"Do you have any suggestions?" Zhou Dapeng knew that if he hadn't planned in advance, Ye Ziqi wouldn't have said this to him.
Ye Ziqi said: "Don't worry about rice Uncle Zhou, except for the Zhao family, the farmers here should have a lot of inventory, and you can buy it from them when the time comes." So the most important thing now is the dishes. ”
The reason why Ye Ziqi cooked the same dishes for Xu Mingyang and his party was that there were only a few dishes here.
"That's why you bought a horse from Xu Darthead?" Zhou Dapeng had a feeling of sudden realization.
Ye Ziqi said: "Half of it." ”
Zhou Dapeng didn't ask what the other half was, but asked, "Then what kind of dishes do you need to buy?"
Ye Ziqi said: "There are dishes that can be stored for a long time. ”
Zhou Dapeng took out the silver again and handed it to Ye Ziqi and said, "Uncle Zhou doesn't understand these things, so I'll leave it to you." ”
Ye Ziqi took the silver very happily this time and said, "Okay!"
In less than two days, the horses kept in Zhou Dapeng's stable began to eat, and on the third day, their spirits were raised.
On the fourth day, Ye Ziqi asked Shen Tiannan to take her to the nearest town.
The two of them, who were in a hurry purely for the sake of hurrying, arrived in less than three hours where others could reach in five hours.
For Ye Ziqi, the town they went to was barely passable in the town called Pingxiang Township, which belonged to Silla, but for the small mountain village where she was located, it could be regarded as heaven and earth.
Ye Ziqi's purpose was very clear, so he went to the place where the vegetable market was gathered.
After comparing several places, Ye Ziqi picked a few cheap vegetable stalls and bought meat, chickens, ducks and geese that had just hatched, and of course, sheep and some dishes that could be put in small mountain villages.
After buying the last dish, Ye Ziqi was about to say to Shen Tiannan that he could go back, when he saw Shen Tiannan staring at a person.
That person was about the same age as Shen Tiannan, wearing a dark red brocade shirt and a jade crown on his head, and he looked like a rich lord.
Ye Ziqi saw her standing beside Shen Tiannan for a long time, and didn't see any movement from him, so he said helplessly: "Master, we should go back! Even if you stare him out of a hole, we won't have any money to pay him back today!"
Shen Tiannan exclaimed, "How do you know?"
