Chapter 67 Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
Hurriedly ran back, there were no more people in the teahouse, and Xiao Er didn't greet people at the door. γLatest chapter reading. Geng Yong took the silver, was very confident, and strode in.
"Uncle, you're back." Xiao Er hurriedly caught up, took a duster from the side, and dusted off the soil on Geng Yong's body for Geng Yong.
Geng Yong glanced at Xiao Er, picked up the heavy ten taels of silver in his hand, and said, "This is ten taels, give me the rest after settling the account, I'm still in a hurry." β
"Okay!"
Xiao Er didn't dare to slack off, and walked to the counter with the silver. The counter took out a few pieces of loose silver and put them in a bag and gave them to Xiao Er.
"Uncle, this is eight taels of silver, you can take it." Xiao Er smiled all over his face.
Geng Yong didn't even look at it, took the silver in his hand and prepared to go out.
As soon as he reached the door, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man who looked like a scholar walked in.
The man was a little familiar, Geng Yong was stunned and stopped.
"What do you want to eat, officer? We have all kinds of good tea. Xiao Er greeted the new guests.
The new guest looked around the room, his face was a little unsightly, and said to Xiao Er, "Man, how is your business?" β
With this sentence, Xiao Er understood that this person was not here to eat. When you ask these questions, you are either in charge or you are asking for something.
"We're here, it's okay." Xiao Er immediately put down his words by three points, this is not disrespectful, but he just wants to keep a bottom.
The man nodded and said, "Have you ever been a storyteller?" β
As soon as this sentence came out, it was not something that Xiao Er could manage. The shopkeeper came from the side and looked people up and down.
"You mean, you can tell a story?" The shopkeeper asked.
The man clenched his fists and said, "Little Lao'er is not talented, and in the southwest, he is somewhat famous. β
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't keep you, if you are a storyteller from the south, I can't listen to it." If you're a storyteller from the north, I've heard it all. I'm too small to afford a storyteller. "After that, the shopkeeper turned around, which can be regarded as chasing customers.
The man sighed, and without saying a word, went to the door.
"Wait."
Geng Yong strode forward and stopped the man.
"Brother, I see you, have you been hungry for a long time?" Geng Yong asked.
The man nodded, his stomach ringing just right.
Seeing this, Geng Yong directly pulled the man over and sat down, turned around and shouted: "Good wine and good food come up, I'll please!" β
How dare the shopkeeper not listen, seeing that Geng Yong was going to have a treat, he hurriedly returned to the back kitchen to prepare wine and food.
Geng Yong and the man sat down on both sides, and the man glanced at Geng Yong with some doubts.
"Hero, thank you for your kindness. But I have nothing on me, nothing to repay you. The man sat down, his eyes full of loneliness.
Geng Yong shook his head and said, "I don't want you to repay me, I was hungry just now, and no one invited me to eat." I just see that you're a little familiar, but I can't remember anything. β
"Oh?" The man looked at Geng Yong and said, "Have you been in the south?" I talk about books, and I'm a bit famous over there. β
"What's your name?"
"Joe."
In this conversation, Geng Yong suddenly remembered why he met each other. It was because he happened to pass by the teahouse to look for Li Siqiu and heard Qiao Shi's book.
"It turns out that it's you." Geng Yong poured Qiao Shi a cup of tea, his face was very excited.
"I remember, I've heard you tell the story, it's wonderful." Geng Yong shook his head, as if he was still unsatisfied, and said, "But why are you in such a situation now?" β
Qiao Shi lowered his head in despair, and after a while, he said slowly: "The gap between the south and the north is too big. Even if I can tell the truth over there, I'm worthless here. β
The two were still talking, and the food was ready. Geng Yong poured himself a bowl of wine, held the wine jar and shook it for a long time, but he didn't pour it for Qiao Shi.
"Let's eat." Geng Yong said.
At this point, small talk is something that comes later.
The dishes that came up were not much different from what Geng Yong had just eaten, and these things should be the best here. Qiao Shi took it and ate it in a big gulp, without the slightest appearance of a storyteller.
Perhaps only when people are hungry to a certain extent can they truly express their humanity.
Geng Yong watched from the sidelines, he had just eaten a lot, and he couldn't eat anymore. When I accompanied Qiao, I took a sip of wine, which was very leisurely.
After Qiao Shi had eaten a lot of things and had food in his stomach, Geng Yong continued to chat with Qiao Shi.
"Then, Boss Qiao, since you are so powerful, why do you have to come here?" Geng Yong asked.
Qiao Shi picked up a few more pieces of R and said: "It's hard to say, among them, there are things that can be said and there are things that can't be said." β
When Geng Yong heard this, his first reaction was that Qiao Shi was bullied. directly put his head to Qiao Shi's ear, and whispered, "Boss Qiao, is someone bullying you?" If so, tell me. I am the adjutant general next to the general of the Tang Dynasty, an ordinary ruffian, and I just sent some people over and killed them. β
With this sentence, Qiao Shi glanced at Geng Yong again. This man has a strong figure and fierce eyes, so that he does have the appearance of a lieutenant.
"You? Are you a general? Qiao Shi lowered his voice to a low voice, and his eyes were a lot nervous.
Geng Yong nodded affirmatively and said, "Don't be surprised, I have business to do." If Boss Qiao really needs it, I will help you deal with it after I finish my business. β
Qiao Shi was obviously excited, his hands clenched into fists and shook up and down a few times, and said, "Great, I wonder if the general can tell me a name?" β
"Geng Yong."
"Good name!"
Qiao Shi stood up and directly called Xiao Er to ask for two small jars of wine. gave Geng Yong an altar and said: "Thanks to my care, I can meet such a man when I am Qiao, and I am fortunate to remember it for my ancestors in my three lives." Little old man is not talented, I would like to give you a drink! β
Geng Yong also stood up, his favorite thing was to speak so quickly. The two of them collided with the wine jar and drank most of it in one gulp.
"Say it, Boss Qiao, you can say it casually, there is nothing I can't do!" Geng Yong laughed.
The people on the side looked at these two people in surprise, and because of the momentum on Geng Yong's body, no one dared to speak.
Qiao Shi sat down, looked at Geng Yong drunkenly, and whispered: "General, I don't say it's big or not, it's not small." But I don't know if you can really take it down! β
"Say! Say! β
Qiao Shi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and told him about the county order. It's just that this matter was changed by him, and it was about offending the county order in order to save a person's life. After that, he was chased and killed by the county order and escaped here.
This story was told by Qiao Shi's mouth, and it suddenly became a wonderful collection. Geng Yong listened to it with relish, and finally realized that Qiao Shi had caused trouble in the local area.
