Chapter 198: Friction
(Brothers, support the genuine good fell!!) Comment and tip, let's go!! )
Yongxi is in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and Liangzhou belongs to the same brothers, and has always been a poor place in the Ming Dynasty.
Although that being said, if you go to Luyang, you will never have such a thought.
The glitz and glitz of the provincial capital is not comparable to Guangde, which is not only more densely populated, but also has much more industries inside.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting, Zhang Ertie and others sat in a restaurant inside the West City Gate, looking at the pedestrians on the street below through the windows on the second floor.
It was the first time for a group of five of them to come to Luyang, and everything was new to them, so they naturally couldn't help but watch more.
At this time, none of them put on official uniforms, so no one was in awe of them, but it was rare to experience some noisy sounds.
"That's life!" Chen Xiaoting picked up the teacup and said.
Zhang Ertie couldn't catch up with this, so he only listened to him: "My lord, this Lu Yang is indeed a lot bigger than our Guangde!" ”
Zeng Chun also sighed on the side: "In just a while, there are more than ten carriages passing by the street below, and I don't know how many powerful people there are in this city!" ”
That's not all, it's a lot more expensive just to eat, right? Here you can order three meats, four vegetables and one soup, and it will be 500 yuan directly.
According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, even if you sit in the position of a hundred households, the monthly income is only ten taels, and according to this consumption level, you can only drink the northwest wind.
This is still the most ordinary restaurant in Luyang City, and there are more than this number of slightly better restaurants, so Chen Xiaoting is under great economic pressure now.
"My lord, when will you take us to see the scenery of Luyang?" Zhang Ertie said meaningfully.
This time, Chen Xiaoting didn't bring money from home, and only took Xie Ping's fifty taels of silver, so now he can't take his subordinates to fly.
"Eat...... What are you anxious about? Chen Xiaoting picked up the chopsticks and said, but he was thinking about how to make money.
But after thinking about it, I'm afraid it's similar to Guangde, and the people in the thousands of households have to rely on the rich people in the city to live.
Speaking of eating, Zhang Ertie and the others immediately became interested, picked up a piece of sauce pork ribs and stuffed it into their mouths and said: "Lu Yang is good at everything, even things are more delicious!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting's heart was numb, Zhang Ertie is now like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
But at this time, I only heard someone in the guest seat next to me: "Hello...... Is the food here delicious? I'm afraid I won't eat it for dogs! ”
Although the table next to him said this to the air, it was extremely harsh in Zhang Ertie's ears, isn't this scolding himself for being a dog?
I saw Zhang Ertie slap his chopsticks, stood up and said to the person on the table next to him: "Bastard...... Who is the dog that your mother scolds? ”
The man was pointed at by Zhang Ertie, and immediately scolded back: "Lao Tzu scolded you for being a dog?" Did your dog's eye see it? ”
This man didn't want to scold people originally, but he just felt that it was not to his taste, but he didn't expect to stimulate Zhang Ertie.
The two tables were next to each other, and they were all strong men who were sitting, and the smell of gunpowder was full of fire, and the eyes of everyone on the second floor were attracted.
Zeng Chun, who was next to him, saw that Chen Xiaoting was still picking vegetables, and knew that he had a laissez-faire attitude.
So he said for Zhang Ertie: "Sure enough, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, since he can't eat, I think you should go to the dog's bowl to eat!" ”
This can be called a trick, which made the man tremble with anger, and he immediately copied the guy from the package next to him.
But the young man on the throne shouted, "Sit down! ”
The man, who was still angry just now, sat back in his seat honestly like a cat seeing a mouse.
There were six people at the table opposite, and the young man in his twenties on the throne was particularly eye-catching.
"If Brother Tai doesn't care about restraining his subordinates, it will be difficult to move an inch in this Luyang City!" The young man said calmly.
Zhang Ertie was still standing, and after listening to the words of the young man opposite, he didn't know what he should do.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting said in a deep voice: "Sit down!" ”
This was the same as the young man's words, at this time Chen Xiaoting was looking at him with four eyes, and Zhang Ertie and Zeng Chun sat back after hearing the words.
In fact, from the beginning of the oral quarrel between Zhang Ertie and the table opposite, Chen Xiaoting has been observing the young man opposite.
So far, he has come to a basic judgment that the people at the opposite table should not be easy to mess with, and these people obviously have weapons hidden in their packages.
So Chen Xiaoting said: "I will naturally discipline my subordinates, but I also advise my brother to do it himself, and be careful of the trouble that comes out of his mouth!" ”
The young man on the other side looked calm and said, "Taught!" ”
After saying this, the young man stood up and said to the shopkeeper who had just heard the sound, "Just right, settle the score!" ”
As long as you are a little open-minded, or a person with a long brain, you will not give yourself an enemy that is not easy to mess with.
So whether it was Chen Xiaoting or this young man, they all had a tacit understanding to take a step back at this time, and this matter was so weirdly resolved.
The shopkeeper looked confused, and after quickly calculating the accounts, he smiled and said, "Guest officer, a total of two taels of silver!" ”
In terms of food money alone, the young man's table is much richer than Chen Xiaoting's, and in fact, it is true.
After paying the money happily, when the young man passed by Chen Xiaoting with his subordinates, he smiled and said to his subordinates: "This wine and food really can't be eaten, let's change to a good home!" ”
The young man's subordinates burst into laughter, and Zhang Ertie was furious when he heard the laughter, but he was forced to sit back by Chen Xiaoting's cold gaze.
After the young man left, Zhang Ertie was full of slackness and said: "My lord, if you don't stop me......
Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiaoting said coldly: "If I hadn't stopped you, I'm afraid you would have been cut down!" ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting reprimanded the four subordinates: "This is Luyang, not Guangde...... When you first arrive, you have to be a man with your tail between your legs! ”
"Understood?" Chen Xiaoting asked sharply.
Seeing Chen Xiaoting's attitude, Zhang Ertie and the others immediately lowered their heads, and then said, "My subordinates understand!" ”
"You should be careful in the future, the official boots that those people were wearing just now are also from the yamen!" Chen Xiaoting said in a slow tone.
At this time, Zeng Chun lowered his head and looked at the shoes of his own and others, and then said respectfully: "My lord, could it be that those people have also seen through our identity?" ”
Just when Chen Xiaoting and the others were discussing this, Yue Menghao, who had already walked out of the door of the restaurant, also heard his subordinates muttering at this time: "My lord, why didn't you let your subordinates teach that guy a lesson?" ”
Yue Menghao was the young man who was talking to Chen Xiaoting, and at this time, he said with a gloomy face: "How many days have we only been talking about Lu Yang?" More is better than less!"
"My lord, it's just a few turtles, and our Jinyi guard is still afraid of him? Just clean it up! ”
Yue Menghao said: "That person is wearing official boots, don't you see it?" ”
The man under his command said, "My lord, my subordinates have seen it...... But in this Luyang City, that yamen doesn't give us a little face? ”
Seeing the stupid appearance of his subordinates, Yue Menghao said coldly: "But have you noticed it, is the style of those people's official boots exactly the same as our brocade guard?" ”
Wang Ping...... That is, he had an argument with Zhang Ertie, and he hurriedly lowered his head at this time, he knew that he had made Lord Yue uncomfortable.
But Yue Menghao didn't have time to be angry with a small person, so he said in a deep voice: "We came all the way to not make a feud with anyone, do you know?" ”
Intimidated by his momentum, the five servants all bowed down and said, "Subordinates understand! ”
Yue Menghao took people to eat in a better restaurant, and Chen Xiaoting and his party also quickly finished eating, and after paying, they were ready to leave.
