Volume 1 Crossing the rivers and lakes and involving temples Chapter 56 is not bad for money
At noon, there are not many diners in Fenghua Building, not because of the chef's skills or the service attitude of the second brother, but because the restaurant is opened on the edge of the Green River, it is a normal time period to welcome guests at night.
A square-faced, dark-skinned diner sits at a window facing the street, ordering only a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts. Originally, such a poor sour eater was very common, but he stayed for two hours, and this was the fifth day. Wang Si stood in the dark and carefully observed this person, in addition to drinking, he was looking out the window in a daze, every day.
Wang Si asked for a plate of orchid beans from the back kitchen, and walked towards the man with a pot of wine. When he got closer, Wang Si lowered his head and held up the food and wine and said with a smile: "Guest officer, this is the orchid beans and reed wine that the small shop gave you." ”
The man looked up at Wang Si, still expressionless, and said coldly: "Thank you, put it down." ”
Wang Si was not annoyed, put down the reed wine and orchid beans, and stood in place without looking back, but still had a signature smile on his face. The man glanced at Wang Si and said, "Are you okay?" ”
Wang Sidao: "Little guest officer, you have been here for several days in a row, but you only order a plate of peanuts and a pot of reed wine every time, and you stay for two hours. ”
The man retracted his original gaze from looking out the window, turned his head to Wang Si and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you here that you welcome me, a poor scholar?" ”
Wang Si hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I think you misinterpreted me." I'm just looking at you alone stunned, I'm afraid that you have something you can't solve, if you don't dislike the small identity is low, but you can talk to the small one, maybe I can help you solve your doubts. ”
The man glanced at Wang Si, his eyes were full of mockery, as if he was saying that you know what a shopkeeper knows!
Wang Si also saw his dislike, but he didn't see it. He was originally a spy who spied on intelligence, but the environment was just in this restaurant. With his many years of experience, this poor scholar has secrets that no one knows, and those who have secrets are what he is most interested in.
The man seemed to sense something, dropped a piece of broken silver and got up and left. Wang Si looked at the men who were drifting away, and always felt that they had seen each other before, and they had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
At this time, one of Wang Si's subordinates, Xiao Zhi, came over, he was also a guy in this Fenghualou, and when he saw Wang Si stunned, he asked softly, "Fourth brother, what are you looking at?" ”
Wang Si glanced back at him, squinted his eyes and asked, "Has this poor scholar who was sitting at the window just now seen it before?" ”
Xiao Zhi smiled: "I've seen it!" ”
Wang Si suddenly became interested and asked, "Where is it?" When have you seen it? Am I there? ”
Xiao Zhi looked at Wang Si with a little confusion and said, "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you, why are you so nervous about this man?" ”
Wang Si looked at him and urged: "Hurry up, I think there is something wrong with this man." ”
Xiao Zhi didn't dare to delay, and immediately said: "It's just these days, doesn't he come every day." I'm not the only one who sees it, everyone sees it, and I think he's weird. ”
Wang Sixin said that he still wants you to say it in the past few days, and Lao Tzu has also seen it. Asked casually, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Xiao Zhi: "He comes every time we open the door, and he usually waits until we close the door in the afternoon to rest." And every time he can't move, it's a pot of reed wine and a plate of peanuts, and the point is that I don't think he's here to drink. ”
Wang Si smiled: "How do you know that he is not here to drink?" ”
Xiao Zhi said: "Fourth brother, I'm not blowing it to you, I really have the right to speak." My dad drinks three times a day, and his eyes light up when he sees the wine. This man is served with peanuts and reed wine every day, which is the standard for alcoholics. ”
Wang Si interjected: "Yes, you said that the drunkard is standard, why didn't you come to drink?" ”
Xiao Zhi smiled: "Fourth brother, don't worry, there is one more thing for the drunkard, that is, eyes." ”
"Eyes?" Wang Si muttered suspiciously.
Xiao Zhi continued: "Yes, eyes! Ordinary drunkards see the wine in both eyes are glowing, you can clearly feel that the moment they just dip the wine, their eyes are full of excitement, and the eyes are pure without a trace of distractions, in short, in a word, only wine is the only one. ”
"What about the unusual?" Wang Si asked.
Xiao Zhi said with a shy: "This is not ordinary, it is to use wine to eliminate sorrow and sorrow, and I don't see either in this person's eyes, but he pays more attention to things outside the wine table." ”
"How?" Wang Si asked.
Xiao Zhi touched his head and said shyly: "I can't say it well, it's just a matter of feeling." ”
Wang Si Zhengse said: "Pay a little attention to this person in the future, but don't let people see it." ”
Xiao Zhi nodded quietly and continued to serve the food, leaving Wang Si alone to sit in the position where the man was originally sitting, he was feeling what the man was thinking, or what he was watching, but he didn't have a satisfactory answer until Fenghualou closed in the early morning of the next day.
In the small courtyard in the western suburbs, Ye Chen and Chen Bing were practicing their technical strikes. Chen Bing turned around and squatted, his right leg straightened, and struck Chen's sweeping leg. Chen Bing thought that this shot could hit Ye Chen steadily, but Ye Chen stood there without moving, and Chen Bing did hit, but the result was unexpected. It should have been Ye Chen who fell to the ground and hugged his leg and screamed in pain, but who knew that Ye Chen not only did not fall, but stood there steadily and smiled evilly at Chen Bing. On the other hand, after Chen Bing slapped Chen's sweeping leg, he hugged his leg and screamed in pain, and his face was flushed.
Chen Bing looked at Ye Chen with a bitter face and said, "Chenzi, you are honest, is there something tied to your leg again?" ”
Ye Chen said a little embarrassedly: "It's a little bit tied." ”
Chen Bing lifted his trouser leg, his calves were red and swollen, and Ye Chen also slowly lifted his trouser legs, and said with a lewd smile: "It's just an iron plate, and nothing else." ”
Chen Bing's face was full of grievances, grandma's, do a drill with me and put a steel plate on your calf, won't your conscience hurt?
Ye Chen also seemed to see Chen Bing's grievances, and then smiled: "I didn't take off the steel plate when I slept last night, and now I get used to wearing it, so sometimes I don't know if I wear it on my lap." Of course, Ye Chen's words are a bit exaggerated, but in fact, they are not much worse. After several previous assassinations, he had a new understanding of his own safety and the safety of his brothers.
Ye Chen called Wei into the room and asked, "I once heard a merchant from the south to the north say that there is a kind of soft armor made of iron chains, and it is invulnerable, have you heard of it when you were in Ouchi?" ”
Yu said: "You should be talking about chain mail, this kind of armor is worn inside the clothes and outsiders can't see it at all, and it can effectively stop sword attacks. It's just that this kind of chain mail technology is not yet mature, so the cost is extremely high, and only a few frontier generals have it in our army. ”
Ye Chen said meaningfully: "Money is not a problem, I'm not bad for money!" The question is, is it feasible for me to make a pair of chain mail for each of you? ”
