Chapter 542: Something to Rely On
"Brother Mu, if you look at the young man drinking alone in the northwest corner, do you know who he is?" Li Tianqi lowered his voice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mu Yanyuan looked in that direction when he heard this, but he didn't know the person, "What?" Does this person have anything to do with you? Apparently his nerves were tense again.
"Do you know?"
"I don't know. Although this person suddenly looks a little imposing, his eyes are dull, and his face is slightly pale. Mu Yanyuan looked at it carefully for a while, and said casually, he finally put his mind at ease.
"Oh?" Li Tianqi was a little disappointed, but the most important thing now was to fill his stomach, looking at the table full of wine and food, he couldn't help but move his appetite, "No matter, let's eat." ”
Just as they were feasting, another group of people came outside the store, and at the front was a wealthy old man, who saw two colorful accessories tied around his waist, even those who did not know the goods knew that they were extremely valuable. Behind the old man's right is followed by a number of men in fancy clothes, all of whom have broad waists and round waists, and are obviously not easy to mess with, while behind the old man's left is a middle-aged man, dressed in a gray robe, who looks like a literati and inkman, extremely gentle.
Before the rich old man stepped into the store, a short-bearded man behind him hurriedly quickened his pace, jumped into the store and said in his throat: "Xiao Er, hurry up and find a place, I'll wait for a good meal and drink." ”
The shopkeeper, who was accustomed to seeing the world, hurriedly greeted him with a spring breeze, "Oh, it's really a distinguished guest, the small shop is shining." Please take a seat, and there is a private room. ”
The short-bearded man pointed to Li Tianqi's adjacent table and said, "That's it." Hurry up and pick up and arrange the food and drinks. ”
The shopkeeper hesitated a little and said, "Our private room upstairs is much quieter than this, and it's not expensive......
The short-bearded man said impatiently: "Xiao Er, you still can't do business, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Our lord likes to be lively, not bad for money, hurry up. ”
"Oh." The shopkeeper seemed to come back to his senses and immediately went to clean up the table.
At this moment, the rich old man and the middle-aged man had already stepped into the shop, and the short-bearded man hurriedly stepped forward to show great courtesy, and brought the two of them to the table and sat down, while he and other men in fancy clothes gathered around a group of merchants, and the merchants saw that these people all had fierce eyes and fierce looks, so they settled the account early and went back to the room.
Li Tianqi noticed that something was wrong, so he raised his head, as if he found that the rich old man was looking at him, but the old man who raised his eyes deliberately turned his head.
Mu Yanyuan gulped down, ignoring who came.
Drock apparently didn't care, just beckoning Kikige to dine.
The shopkeeper came up with a pot of hot tea, filled it one by one for the rich merchant and others, and then respectfully asked the rich old man, "This old gentleman, what kind of dishes do you need?" ”
The rich old man coughed dryly, obviously not wanting to answer.
The middle-aged man in the gray robe said, "We like to eat vegetarian dishes, you can pick some good dishes and order them casually, enough for two of us." ”
The shopkeeper's face changed a little, after all, vegetarian dishes are cheap, even if a dozen or so people eat casually, they can't eat much tael, he didn't expect this rich family to be so stingy, he thought he had met the God of Wealth, he asked with some dissatisfaction: "So many of you, it seems that you are all in a hurry, if you don't eat some meat and fishy things, how can you have the spirit......
Although the gray-robed middle-aged man saw the displeasure of the shopkeeper, he still said patiently: "I'm used to eating." Xiao Er, hurry up and get it. ”
The shopkeeper was still a little reluctant, he still wanted to fight for it, so he asked again: "This guest officer, the big brothers over there are all tough guys, do they want to have some meat?" ”
The gray-robed middle-aged man shook his head, "Go ahead." ”
The short-bearded man seemed to notice something, and shouted at the shopkeeper, "Little Er, don't get the vegetables yet, what are you doing?" ”
The shopkeeper nodded and smiled at him again and again, but turned around with a depressed face, it seemed that there was no oil and water to make in this business, he walked a few steps, suddenly thought of something, and turned back to the gray-robed middle-aged man and asked, "Guest, where is the wine?" ”
The gray-robed middle-aged man was about to say something, but the rich old man finally spoke, "What kind of wine do you have here?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce: "We have Zhuangyuanhong, Moutai and the famous Du Kang!" You ......"
The rich old man nodded slightly and asked, "How do you sell wine?" ”
The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and began to say like a few treasures, "Guest officer, listen to the little one, this champion is not expensive, other people's family is three hundred and fifty yuan and fifteen taels of silver and one altar, our family is here for three hundred yuan and one dollar, ten taels of silver and one altar, Moutai is slightly more expensive, six hundred dollars and one dollar, twenty taels and one altar, as for Du Kang, ......"
"Spicy, huh?" The rich old man asked.
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it is indeed a little spicy." However, there are still some small shops that are not spicy. Jade ice brewing, one hundred wen and one penny, five taels of silver and one jar ......"
The rich old man waved his hand.
The shopkeeper seemed to think of something again, "Oh, I didn't expect you to think it was even spicy with Yubing Brew, well, okay, we have self-brewed rice steamed wine in our store, the taste is not spicy, and it is not expensive, it is only thirty yuan and one dollar, I don't know ......"
"Forget it, don't drink it." The rich old man thought about it for a while, but decided not to drink.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, thinking, what kind of rich man is this, if it is too expensive, he will say directly, what is spicy or not, it is really slammy! He glared at the accessories around the rich old man's waist, and thought again, it must be fake, what kind of rich man he is! It hurt Lao Tzu to be busy for a long time, but the shopkeeper only dared to think in his heart, but he didn't dare to casually suffocate in his heart. He walked to the back kitchen angrily.
Although their conversation was not loud, it was seen and listened to by Li Tianqi and others. Mu Yanyuan was about to laugh, although he didn't pay much attention to these people at first, but after listening to their conversation, he still paid attention to it, which was also beyond his expectations, unlike the flamboyant appearance, the rich old man was so stingy.
Li Tianqi couldn't help but glance at the rich old man a few more times, just as the other party also looked at him again, as soon as the eyes of the two made contact, they immediately staggered, as if they were afraid of being looked at by the other party.
Li Tianqi didn't know the other party, but he always felt that the other party seemed to be looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.
While he was thinking about it, the gray-robed middle-aged man also pulled the wooden stool, turned his head to look at him, and then nodded lightly to the rich old man.
Zhuo Ke suddenly touched Li Tianqi's elbow, and quickly wrote a line on the table with his index finger dipped in water: The master of the next table, mention your name, speak carefully.
After Li Tianqi saw it, Zhuo Ke hurriedly wiped off the water traces, Mu Yanyuan and Qiqige were a little tired, concentrating on eating, but when they found out, they didn't see what it was.
Li Tianqi couldn't help but be taken aback, sure enough, the rich old man and the others came for a purpose. But I don't know him or the gray-robed middle-aged man, so it can be said that he is completely strange, how can they mention their names? Is it because of the government's sea fishing documents? Are they catching fast? If that's the case, why haven't they done it yet?
Many questions flashed through Li Tianqi's mind.
The shopkeeper finally came up with vegetarian dishes, and the rich old man and the others did not make any other abnormal movements, and buried their heads in eating.
Mu Yanyuan was really hungry, and he had to add a few bowls of rice after eating.
Although Li Tianqi and Zhuo Ke had secretly been wary of the rich old man and the others, the other party no longer spoke, and they didn't know what these people were trying to do, so they didn't act rashly in order to act on the camera.
Mu Yanyuan was finally full, and when he stopped the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, he found that the other three were waiting, so he said embarrassedly: "It's full." ”
At this time, the gray-robed middle-aged man took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, walked over from the side, and asked Li Tianqi politely, "Is it Li Tianqi's son?" ”
Zhuo Ke hurriedly glanced at Li Tianqi.
came, Li Tianqi was a little apprehensive, but he thought that his portrait had been pasted all over the land of China, and if anyone who paid attention could distinguish him, he did not deny it: "Exactly, it is Li Tianqi below, dare to ask Your Excellency......"
The gray-robed middle-aged man glanced at the rich old man, saw him nod slightly, and then said, "That old man's surname is Lin, his name is Yunqing, please have something to ask you." I don't know if Li Gongzi will agree. ”
Mu Yanyuan didn't know the reason, and said with some disapproval: "You have money or not, please ask us to do things at a reasonable price." ”
The gray-robed middle-aged man didn't pay attention to Mu Yanyuan, but looked at Li Tianqi with a blazing eye, waiting for his answer.
"It turned out to be Lin Lao." Li Tianqi glanced at Lin Yunqing, and found that he had actually moved his gaze to other places, so he had to ask the gray-robed middle-aged man again, "I don't know what to ask for?" If you can do it in the future, and it doesn't violate morality, then it's no problem. ”
Mu Yanyuan hurriedly kicked Li Tianqi, suggesting that he would say some conditions.
The gray-robed middle-aged man said, "It's easy, it can definitely be done." ”
Li Tianqi said: "Please speak." ”
At this time, the shopkeeper who had greeted the rich old man and others hurriedly came over, he thought that they were going to leave after they were full, and he was worried that he would not get the money for the meal, so he came to him and hurriedly said: "Guest officer, we are a small business, you ......"
Although the middle-aged man in the gray robe was extremely self-contained, he interrupted his words, and he was also quite displeased, and said coldly: "Stand aside, what's the hurry?" ”
"Did you bring any money?" The shopkeeper was not to be outdone, and he couldn't help it anymore, who had been suppressing his anger.
The middle-aged man in the gray robe took out a small box from his arms, opened it, and saw that it was actually a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg that was unusually shiny.
Not only was the shopkeeper dumbfounded, but Mu Yanyuan was also dumbfounded. They thought that a humble person could come up with such a rare thing, and of course they were shocked.
Kikige showed a happy look in her eyes, although she was a princess, but she was a place outside the border, and she had never seen such a big pearl, and her true feelings were revealed.
Li Tianqi didn't know what the other party was entrusting, but he was worthy of such a valuable gift, and he was stunned for a while.
