Chapter 18: The Treasure
As soon as Ye Feng walked into the restaurant, the shopkeeper who greeted the guests shouted. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Maybe the shopkeeper didn't look at Ye Feng carefully, or maybe he didn't expect Ye Feng, who had disappeared for half a year, to suddenly appear, and he didn't recognize Ye Feng at the first time.
But fortunately, the shopkeeper was not clumsy, and suddenly changed his words, shouting at the shopkeeper.
More than three meters away from the door of the teahouse is the counter, and Boss Hu, who was standing behind the counter and making an abacus, raised his head suddenly, and then looked towards the door.
The shopkeeper Hu is a middle-aged man, dressed in a blue gown, slightly fat, and his fat cheeks have a portrait of wealth.
When the shopkeeper Hu saw that the young man in white with a sword was Ye Feng, he hurriedly lifted the corner of his long coat, walked out of the counter and came to Ye Feng with a fist and smiled: "I'll just say, why does my left eyelid keep jumping when I get up in the morning?" It turns out that there is a distinguished guest coming to the door today. ”
Ye Feng smiled faintly, as if he had long known that the shopkeeper Hu was an old fritter, and he had been doing business for so many years, and he had already developed a good mouth and always said something nice.
"Shopkeeper Hu, the little brother has only been here for half a year, and the business of your teahouse is in full swing, and it can be called the leader of the North Street of Wangu Town." Ye Feng held his sword and clenched his fists, and said with a smile.
"Haha, brother, you can hold your brother high. No matter how hot the business of my teahouse is, I don't dare to talk about it with your Ye family auction house. ”
I have to say that Shopkeeper Hu is worthy of being able to make the teahouse business prosperous, and this mouth alone can hold people to the sky.
"Brother Hu, you and I don't want to be humble here. Today, my brother is here specifically for the Longjing that my brother has treasured for many years, and you ...... Don't be surprised. ”
"What did my brother say, hurry upstairs, please, I'll let Xiao Er present it to you in a while." Shopkeeper Hu laughed, stretched out his hands sideways and invited Ye Feng to the second floor.
Accompanied by the shopkeeper Hu, Ye Feng listened to the storyteller on the high platform in the middle of the teahouse shouting loudly while walking, and walked unhurriedly towards the second floor of the teahouse.
"All the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the fathers and villagers of Wangu Town, just now we were talking about the strange talk of the wilderness outside Ganyuan Town, and then let's talk about the major events that have happened in our Wangu Town in the past few days."
"Hehe, speaking of Wangu Town, the benevolent brother in the audience said that the major event in our town in the past few days is nothing more than the fall of the patriarch of the Ye family."
The old man on the stage shouted loudly, making Ye Feng, who was about to walk on the second floor, pause, and the pair of sword eyebrows immediately frowned slightly.
"Well, I'm afraid you're mistaken. What I'm going to talk about now has nothing to do with the Ye family. The old storyteller on the stage smiled strangely, paused for a moment, and waited until the surrounding people were urging him, and the old man walked back and forth on the stage, and then said: "Have you noticed that there are a lot of strangers in our Wangu Town in the past few days?" ”
As soon as the old man spoke, he saw the surrounding listeners who were interested in drinking tea, and they whispered to each other in twos and threes.
"If this old man Song didn't mention this matter, I really didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, there are really some strangers in Wangu Town these days. ”
"Yes, I found that those strangers were carrying weapons, obviously all of them were Jianghu martial arts people. Moreover, I heard in the morning that the major shops on West Street were full of business, and there was a long queue in front of the Tianwu Bookstore, which sold martial arts and mental methods. ”
"Shhh In this way, is something going to happen in Wangu Town? Why else did so many people suddenly emerge? ”
There were seventy or eighty people upstairs and downstairs, and they were all interested in Old Man Song's words, and when they were discussing, they all felt that something big might happen to Wangu Town.
And Ye Feng, who walked up to the second floor, heard that Old Man Song didn't mean to talk about his Ye family, his wrinkled sword eyebrows slowly unfolded, looked at the entire second floor, and found that there were only more than 30 seats by the window where no one was sitting, and turned to the shopkeeper Hu with a smile and said: "Brother Hu has a heart, my brother hasn't come for half a year, you can still keep that table for me." ”
"Haha! Opening the door to do business is about integrity. Half a year ago, my brother spent a hundred taels of silver to charter that table for a year. Now that the time has not come, how can my brother let others sit? Shopkeeper Hu replied with a smile.
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and then thanked the shopkeeper Hu with a fist. At the same time, he secretly said in his heart that the shopkeeper in front of him could make the teahouse bigger by chance, but by chance, but really had extraordinary skills.
"Brother Hu is honest and trustworthy, and he should be a model for those of us who open the door to do business. Now that my father has unfortunately passed away, and the auction house under the clan has also been taken over by my brother, Ye will have to come to the teahouse more often in the future to learn the way of doing business from my brother. At that point, don't blast me out, brother. Ye Feng hugged his fists.
"My brother is too modest, as long as you open a shop in our Wangu Town, who doesn't know that the young master of the Ye family has learned the way of doing business from Ye Long Tianye Patriarch since he was a child? For more than ten years, with a pair of discerning eyes, he has never identified a wrong weapon. This strength makes me ashamed. Shopkeeper Hu smiled, and led Ye Feng down the aisle to the table by the window.
The distance from the stairs to the window is not too long, but it can be more than ten meters. But as Ye Feng sat down, the second floor, which was originally noisy, suddenly became silent, and most people looked at Ye Feng.
If you look at those people, you will find that they all look at Ye Feng with strangeness in their eyes.
This strange look is hard to describe, both surprised and admired.
Even in the eyes of some people, in addition to surprise, there was also ridicule and disdain, and I don't know if it was Ye Feng himself or what he had done, which made these people look down on them very much.
Finding that the second floor suddenly became silent, the old man Song, who was still selling Guan on the high platform, also cast his eyes.
When he saw Ye Feng sitting next to the shopkeeper, the smile on the old man's face instantly receded, and he understood why the second floor suddenly fell silent.
The second floor suddenly fell silent, and Shopkeeper Hu couldn't help but turn around and look at the listeners around him. Then he coughed a few times in embarrassment, sighed in his heart, and hurriedly gave the old man Song in the stands a look.
Receiving the shopkeeper's eyes, Old Man Song swallowed his saliva, retracted his gaze after calming down, looked at the listeners on the first and second floors and said with a smile: "Everyone be quiet, let's listen to the next story." ”
As Old Man Song spoke again, the first floor instantly fell silent. And the group of rivers and lakes and civilians who looked at Ye Feng on the second floor also withdrew their gazes.
Regarding the strange gaze that everyone had just cast, Ye Feng acted as if he hadn't seen it, put the purple sword to the side of the table, leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Old Man Song.
"Everyone knows that this town is called Eternal, but I want to ask you if anyone knows the origin of the town's name?" Old man Song glanced sideways at the people around him, and when he saw that they were shaking their heads and thinking hard, Old Man Song laughed: "It seems that you don't know." In fact, it is not clear about old decay. However, I once heard a rumor that the reason why this town is called Eternal is because the person who named it wanted it to be undestroyed for thousands of years."
"Maybe some people will be curious, what is the reason for me to mention Wangu Town? What does it have to do with the sudden extra strangers in the past two days? In fact, not only is there a relationship, but it is also the direct reason why they are here. "Old man Song is the best at selling guanzi, and the people around him who are teasing are itching, but Old Man Song just doesn't say the reason directly.
Old man Song's trick made Ye Feng smile wryly.
Ye Feng and Hu Zhang's business is different, but in the final analysis, they are both businessmen.
I even understand what Old Man Song means, if Old Man Song doesn't chatter, how can he let the surrounding listeners urge him from time to time?
If you don't urge, you all sit with your head and shoulders together, how will the business of the teahouse be done? No one spends money on tea, and the tea house will open today and close tomorrow.
Of course, some people have long seen Old Man Song's intentions, and have the heart to sit there and listen silently, lest they be thirsty and drink a belly of tea if they talk too much. But every time Old Man Song said the key point, he cut off the follow-up, and they had to open their mouths to urge.
"Dead old man, don't you always sell Guanzi, don't you just want us to spend silver taels to sell tea to quench our thirst? I have three taels of silver here, I don't buy tea, I just ask you to hurry up and say okay? ”
"You're so anxious, I've drunk a stomach full of tea, and I can't drink it anymore. I'll pay five taels of silver, please don't babble and talk about the point directly. ”
"I'll give ten taels of silver, you hurry up and say what is going to happen to Wangu Town."
"I'll give seven taels."
……
The listeners on the first and second floors had long been impatient, and they didn't want to continue to let Old Man Song hang their appetites. If you drink it again, you may have to go to the toilet many times at night.
The surrounding listeners kept taking out the silver, but Ye Feng had no intention of taking out the silver. Ye Feng not only didn't take out the silver, but picked up the teapot that the shopkeeper had just served, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, blew it gently, and waited for Old Man Song to speak again.
At this moment, the old man Song, whose face was not red or white, squinted, swept the silver taels on the tables on the first and second floors, and after having an approximate amount in his heart, he blinked and waited for the shopkeeper to take away the silver on the table.
"Ahem! Since everyone wants to hear it, I'll just say it. It is said that outside the town of our Wangu Town, someone found a treasure buried by an ancient family. ”
Before Old Man Song's words fell, most of the people in the teahouse stood up suddenly and looked at Old Man Song on the high platform in surprise.
Ye Feng, who was drinking tea alone, was stunned, although he didn't go to see Old Man Song, there was also a wave in his heart.
"No wonder a lot of strangers suddenly appeared in Wangu Town, it turned out that such a shocking thing had happened."
"If there is really a treasure buried by an ancient family outside the town, will there be a Xuan-level martial arts heart method and a king-level blade inside?"
"Hey! Even if there is no martial arts and weapons, at least there will be no shortage of gold and silver. ”
"Old man Song, do you know where that treasure is hidden?"
I don't know which listener asked such a sentence, and the teahouse suddenly fell silent.
The old man Song standing on the high platform coughed lightly, pondered slightly, and slowly spit out a few words.
"Outside the town, Tulong Hill."
