Volume 2 Debt Repayment Chapter 134 Preparation
"Okay, if something happens to the troublesome son, the villain will go and prepare silver for you immediately" The fat shopkeeper agreed, and just waited for Wang Xiao to take out the voucher for withdrawing money, and then went to get some silver.
Wang Xiao rubbed his hands and looked at the fat shopkeeper embarrassedly: "The voucher was used before, but not this time, I came to borrow money."
"Borrowing money? Childe, are you sure? That's a lot to say."
"I know, I am a fool when you are a son, hurry up, don't tell me that you can't take out this ten thousand taels" Wang Xiao waved his hand irritably, he was already a little unable to borrow money, and now the shopkeeper has been asking, so he really can't get off the stage.
The fat shopkeeper nodded and went out, as the largest salt shop in Chang'an, 10,000 taels of silver can still be taken out, the current price of salt, the most common coarse salt is 500 wen a bucket, equivalent to more than 40 wen a catty, converted to the current price, that is, a catty of coarse salt is about 150 yuan.
As an indispensable seasoning for everyone's three meals a day, the annual consumption of salt is simply astronomical, and as the largest salt merchant, it is easy to take out 10,000 taels of silver.
The bad thing is that Wang Xiao is not here to withdraw money this time, but to borrow money, and the money is taken from various shops by virtue of the voucher when each son or person of the Wang family travels, and usually takes it from the money bank.
Everyone in the Wang family has monthly money, according to their respective identities and importance to the Wang family, each Wang family will definitely not travel with boxes of silver when they go on a study trip or business trip, and always withdraw some silver from the local area to meet the needs of the time.
It's normal, but borrowing money is not so simple.
The money can still be taken out, but this is not a simple withdrawal relationship, but to act according to the rules of the bank, that is to say, if you borrow money, you will bear high interest, and there is no difference between borrowing money and the rest of the people borrowing money.
And if this money is not paid, it will affect Wang Xiao's future achievements, and he will undoubtedly be looked down upon by the people of the Wang family, and he will be completely excluded from the selection of the son.
Wang Xiao dragged his chin in the back room and pondered, now he is undoubtedly cornered.
The first time he drank Mengmeng, he took out the 10,000 taels, and he was firmly tied to the gentleman's wine, but at that time he still had a way out.
But who made him greedy, 10,000 taels smashed out and there was no splash at all, or Lao Mu gave up his family fortune to get a little wine fairy back, and I don't know how much Lao Mu's family property is, but judging by Lao Mu's daily behavior, his net worth must not be underestimated.
That is, the appearance of the little wine fairy made Wang Xiao see the hope of a little hero, and the little wine fairy is worthy of Lao Mu's family property, and after a few days of hard work, he has an eyebrow on the wine side, and he has reached the most critical step, Wang Xiao can't do it at this time anyway.
Soon, the fat shopkeeper's silver was brought out, and five or six carriages carrying the boxes formed a small convoy.
Wang Xiao patted his ass and wanted to leave, but the fat shopkeeper hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Hey, Childe, look, I don't know Childe's name yet."
"Wang Xiao, Wang Xiao, the eldest son of the second room" Wang Xiao handed the jade pendant on his waist to the shopkeeper for inspection.
The fat shopkeeper learned from the appearance of Xiao Er just now, shone in the sun, and wrote down the shape of the jade pendant, and then returned it to Wang Xiao: "Remember the honorific name of the child, what else does the son Kehai need?" Do you want to send you back in person? ”。
Wang Xiao covered his face with his carriage, and only after entering the carriage did he speak outside: "If you want to know where I am staying, you will follow, I will make those false things every day, I can run away and I can't do it, you are no longer Taiyuan, why do you still learn such a face, and follow if you want to."
After borrowing money, even if it is a person from the Wang family, it will be monitored by the Wang family, at least to prevent this person from disappearing, it is not that such a thing has not happened before, the housekeeper of the Wang family went out to do business, found a place to borrow a few thousand taels of silver, and then drilled into the mountains and forests, and disappeared from then on, never seen again.
After that, the Wang family began to have such rules, there is no need to monitor at all times, as long as they make sure that the person is still there, after all, no matter how they lose, they are their own people.
Wang Xiao had only heard of this kind of rule before, and he had also seen those who couldn't pay the money being stared at and panicked all day long, but he didn't expect that now it was his turn to face this matter, which made him face it calmly.
"There are so many firsts today," Wang Xiao sighed.
The first time I had the hope of a son, the first time I was desperate, the first time I borrowed money, the first time I was watched, oh, and, the first time I was broken into my room.
Fortunately, this thing will not last for many days, at most ten days, the first pot of wine of the little wine fairy can be made, and when the time comes, he will also follow the example of Yuelai Restaurant and have an auction, I believe that in the name of his Wang family, the price of the sale will definitely be much more than in the restaurant.
The wine in your restaurant can strengthen the body, then our Wang family's wine can prolong life, not only that, but also replenish the spirit and spirit, it is a man's treasure, not to sell tens of thousands of taels are sorry for the Wang family's signboard.
As for whether it really works? Who cares about him, strengthening his body and prolonging his life, how many years will it take to see, as for replenishing qi and blood, it was the hangover Wang Xiao who listened to the three maids, and it is said that he tossed in a daze that night for half the night.
Back at the inn, he kicked the fat shopkeeper away, and asked the master to carry the silver into the inn, and Wang Xiao sat on the box and shook his legs gracefully.
After noon, Lao Mu came with a few helpers carrying the box: "Childe, a total of four thousand six hundred taels, this time it is not a loss, after all, the sale is a bit urgent, Childe, how much did you make up over there?" ”。
Wang Xiao patted the box under the seat and raised his chin at Lao Mu: "Ten thousand taels."
Lao Mu counted with his fingers: "Ten thousand, two thousand one, plus four thousand six, I will calculate, a total of ten thousand, en."
"Sixteen thousand eight hundred taels, what arithmetic do you learn, it's really a dog at an age, with these seventeen thousand taels, we can't do anything, let alone a pot of wine, even two pots of wine we can afford, now we will no longer worry about money, as long as this wine appears, this money is just a piece of cake."
Lao Mu nodded, squinting at the pile of silver coins.
"Lao Mu, is there any way you can let me get into that restaurant, it's better to watch this kind of thing myself" Wang Xiao jumped down from the box and said with a twist.
Yuelai Restaurant has already added him to the blacklist, even if he passed by in front of the restaurant before, several waiters who received guests at the door would look at him with vicious eyes, treating him as a flood beast, and now he is not at ease and wants to blend in, so he can only turn to Lao Mu for help.
"Mix in, that Yuelai Restaurant is giving the son. But it doesn't matter, there is a way, but you still have to find Xiaojiu, he is better at this" Lao Mu pondered for a moment and proposed a solution.
"Mr. Wine? What can he do, isn't he only going to make wine."
Lao Mu smiled mysteriously: "Childe, you may not know, Xiaojiu also stays in the house all day and does not come out, he is not only this craft, his ancestor is actually an artist, specializing in some small tricks, but later won the favor of nobles, this is little by little to accumulate the ability to make wine, but he has not left the ancestral craft."
After Lao Mu finished speaking, he got up: "Son, you wait here first, I'll go and discuss with him, no matter what, I will let you enter the restaurant smoothly."
Soon after Lao Mu entered the guest room of the little wine fairy, he came out and beckoned to Wang Xiao: "Childe, come in, he has a way."
"What? Let me wear women's clothes? How can this be done, it is indispensable" Wang Xiao's roar came from the small wine room.
Xiaojiu and Lao Mu glanced at each other, and Lao Mu snorted at Xiaojiu and signaled that it was his turn.
The little wine fairy wiped his wet hair, squatted in the shadows of the room, and seemed to crawl out of Sadako again: "Don't worry, Childe, this is known to the three of us, and Lao Mu won't live long, and the little one can't go out, and he can't pass it on."
Hearing this, Wang Xiao slowly regained his senses, looked at Lao Mu, Lao Mu nodded at him, and coughed a few times by the way, proving that he was already terminally ill, and looked at the little wine fairy, this thing has not stepped out since entering the inn.
"Yes, Childe, you know in your heart how important this matter is today, if you just let Lao Er go alone, Lao Er really doesn't have the courage to command the audience, and you really can't let go of Xiao Lao'er's heart without you."
Wang Xiao scratched his chin and raised his eyebrows: "Or?" Try? ”。
"Okay, then try it" Wang Xiao slapped the table, turned his head as if walking upstairs, and wanted to find a few maids' clothes to wear.
"Childe and slow, don't go, the less people know about this, the better, the little one has the girl's clothes, just wait for the little one to make a good deal for the child, to ensure that no one can recognize the child, the son to sit" The little wine fairy groped for a while from the package he brought, and soon took out a set of gorgeous women's clothes, red and green, graceful and luxurious.
Lao Mu and Wang Xiao both looked at the little wine fairy with strange eyes, especially the extremely beautiful women's clothes in his hand.
"Hey, the craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors, no matter what, you can't leave it behind, you have to take it with you wherever you go, don't make a fuss, I don't have the kind of strange hobby you think" The little wine fairy touched his nose and said in a tone that he didn't believe in himself.
"Oh!" Lao Mu and Wang Xiao looked at each other, and leaked out the eyes that all men understand.
Wang Xiao sat down, and Lao Mu also knew that he was interested in this and left: "Son, you two are busy, busy, Xiao Lao'er is going out to inquire about the news, and by the way, I am bringing you some food back."
Wang Xiao was pressed on the seat by the little wine fairy, and the little wine fairy kept sketching and drawing with some strange ornaments, and it took a long time before he withdrew his hand and nodded with satisfaction:
"Childe put it on, Childe is worthy of the blood of the royal family, this is an incomprehensible thing that can be beautiful as long as you dress up a little, and then put on this dress, it is a symbol of beauty."
Wang Xiao took a bronze mirror and took a picture of himself, not to mention, the craftsmanship of the little wine fairy is worthy of being an ancestral heirloom, and now the beauty in the mirror is really amazing.
With the assistance of the little wine fairy, she put on women's clothes, changed into shoes, and gently turned around, captivating the country and the city, and the touch of style between her eyebrows and eyes was really attractive.
"It's not enough, I always feel like it's almost something" Xiaojiu kept circling around Wang Xiao with a paintbrush, muttering to himself.
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, covered his mouth and nose with his orchid fingers, and smiled charmingly: "Mr. Wine, isn't this enough, my father, Miss Ben thinks it's very good."
Xiaojiu's goosebumps have spread to his neck, and this prince is really fast to enter the play.
"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns, the new work of Yuelai Restaurant, big meat buns stuffed with mutton and green onions, come on, let's try it together" Lao Mu pushed the door with a box of newly launched buns from Yuelai Restaurant.
"Yes" The little wine fairy clapped his hands, and he finally remembered what he had just missed to get a point.
