Chapter II. 99. Mobei envoys

People from the Mobei grassland do not have enough money. So how poor can they be? In the good years on weekdays, if the harvest of "robbing business" is good, then the "big businessmen" who come to Youbei to do business can still live in a serious inn; If the harvest is not good, they usually cover a few animal skins outside the city and use the horses' body temperature to make do with the overnight, which also saves money for the store. Therefore, the merchants and people in Youbei do not have a very good impression of these poor ghosts in Mobei with black and red faces and left hair.

And Mugel, who entered the capital of Fengjing, although arranged by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to live in the official post, they received the holy decree that the person who received them should be another choice, so they did not prepare a reception banquet for them. This official post is different from the inn, and the stove will only fire at a fixed time. After the five of them sorted out their luggage in the guest room, they were told by the post officer that the kitchen had been extinguished, and if they wanted to find food at this time, they could only go to the big restaurant on Hezhong Street. There was no way, so these grassland men had no choice but to take the silver bags and walk out of the official post and go straight to the direction of Hezhong Street.

To say that these Mobei men are still upright, they just casually tied the silver bag around their waists and swayed out of the gate of the official post in the south of the city.

The south of Fengjing City is an area where the three religions and nine streams are mixed, and even the rich and powerful nobles in Fengjing will not take a step to that place without any important matter. Therefore, these five Mobei men, who are swaggering through the market like this, are clearly carrying out provocative activities like slapping the face against all the "little men" in Fengjing City. Therefore, before they could reach the middle of the river, the money bags that the four servants of the master had hung on their waists were all gone. And these five honorable envoys from Mobei didn't even notice it.

When the five of them entered the door of the building, they only dared to sit down on the bench by the door. The reason is also very simple, just saying that in the Huiyou Building, the price of any hot dish starts at one or two silver, which is not the consumption level of these "poor ghosts and pot-bellied men" at all. They sat on the benches at the door, and each of them asked for a bowl of somen noodles, and they snorted and ate a half-full.

When they called the men to prepare the tent, they saw the half-cut silver bag tied around their waists......

"Where's Lao Tzu's silver bag?"

Mugel shouted in surprise, and the four attendants immediately touched their waists when they heard this, and their faces were all terrified. The guy who was standing on the side saw that he had seen a lot of people, although he was a little disdainful in his heart, but after all, this Huiyoulou was the number one restaurant in Youbei, and the guys in the hall were all well-trained, and they didn't show any meaning of looking down on people at all.

This young man also understands that these Mobei men seem to have come to eat and drink for nothing, but it is definitely not their original intention. Judging from the half-cut rope around their waists, it must be that Lufu was worried about thieves. After all, how can anyone who is ready to eat white food not have a first-class banquet, but only five bowls of somen noodles?

"Don't panic a few masters, if it's inconvenient for a while, the little ones can also go to the house with a few masters to get silver."

The prairie men are all straight people with a intestine to the end, and if they are faced with the practice of ordinary restaurants - closing the door and beating people, they can directly overturn the table and have a good fight. And in the name of his Mobei envoy, could it be that Fengjing Mansion Yin still dared to arrest the five of us?

But the young guy in front of him, whether it is words or facial expressions, is extremely polite, the so-called fist is difficult to hit the smiling person, which makes it a little difficult for Mugel. It's all because of their "business trip", each of them only brought a hundred taels of silver! That's it, it's still the "public money" that Bormu Khan squeezed out from between his teeth, and now when he turns around, he actually loses it cleanly, where can he find the silver to pay for the five bowls of somen noodles?

If you explain the reason to the Youbei government, it is not impossible. But if you borrow money to pay the bill before you start the negotiation in front of you, and if you soften your head in momentum, how can you be embarrassed to open your mouth after that?

Just when everyone was at a loss, a tall and sturdy young man in black walked in front of the door of the Friends Building. The young man led a sturdy war horse with a black and shiny body without a trace of stray hair, and threw the reins into the hands of the young man who was soliciting customers at the door:

"Feed me good beans and good ingredients, and mix some sesame oil! The second master can't lose its mouth if it eats well, if it is uncomfortable to feed it, be careful that the second master picks off your kid's head! ”

When the young man at the door saw the identity of the person who came, he immediately smiled back, and the closeness brought out between the words was obviously his familiar old patron:

"Second master, look at what you said, as far as your newly acquired BMW horse is concerned, it has already spread all over our Fengjing City, how dare you not serve it? Hurry up and count the horsehair in advance, so that you don't know when the time comes. The small one only earns three taels of silver a month, and even a single horsehair can't afford to lose you! ”

This black-clothed young man known as the "second master" is the second prince Yan Qinghong, he heard the young man's reply and raised his leg and kicked on his buttocks, and raised his hand to throw out a small piece of silver slag:

"Where are so many bits and pieces in your mouth, just be careful and wait, I can't lose you!"

After that, he turned his head to look at the young man with a polite face and was waiting for the money:

"Are you Song Tou here? Let him...... Ay? Eldest brother? ”

Halfway through his words, Yan Qinghong suddenly fixed his eyes on the five people of Mugel's group who were full of shame and strapped for money:

"Big brother, why are you sitting here? Finished eating? Let's go to the tea house, how hard the wind is here......"

Under Yan Qinghong's ill-intentioned question, Mugel's face turned even redder!

What is this called! The Youbei brothers, who had just met in the morning, met for the second time, and let the family see that they were eating white food. Just because he is older, he still thinks he is a brother; It's good now, being asked by my brother in person, how do you say this? The guy next to him is still watching, and he doesn't have a chance to lie!

"Brother, I'm ...... Just ......"

"Xiao Shunzi, what's going on?"

Yan Qinghong saw that Mugel's face was ashamed and his words were indistinct, so he bluffed up his face and asked the guy who ran the hall called "Xiao Shunzi".

"Second master, just now these five grassland uncles each asked for a bowl of somen noodles, and after eating, they found that the money bag made people smooth, although the five bowls together are only half a tael of silver, but you also know that I only earn ...... a month when I am small."

"Stop, you hurry up and let my brothers go into the inner hall, and let Song Tou personally make a table of wine. This good man is the brother that the second master just met, are you still afraid that there will be no money? ”

As soon as he said this, Xiao Shunzi hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"What are you talking about, how can you? I'm scared to death, and I don't dare. Come in, a few masters, please come in......"

After everyone sat down, Xiao Shunzi was just about to go to the backyard kitchen, when Yan Qinghong grabbed his arm:

"Don't leave yet, the second master has something for you to do. Do you know the "Little Gold Tooth"? ”

"Look at what you said, who doesn't know the name of Xiao Qi Ye on the streets of Fengjing City!"

"Well, if you go to him, you will say that the second master's Mobei friend was given five silver bags, and asked him to find it back quickly."

"Hey, got it!"

Xiao Shunzi nodded, and ran out of the gate of the Friends Building in a hurry.

Mugel, the envoy of Mobei, who was still confused until now, looked at Yan Qinghong with some surprise:

"I said brother, why do all these people call you second master? It looks like I'm quite familiar with you, so it seems that you must be a big shot! ”

Yan Qinghong waved his hand modestly:

"What a big man, they call me the second master because I am the second oldest in the family, and the family is quite wealthy. It doesn't matter if you're a true hero or a hypocrite, as long as you have this ......," he said, he took out a silver ingot and slapped it on the table, making a "bump" sound, "As long as anyone has this, it's all the master...... Their rat-eyed villains can only see their noses at the farthest, otherwise how dare they embarrass heroes like you, big brother! ”

Speaking of this, Yan Qinghong's eyes were fixed on Mugel, and he continued with great sincerity:

"But the friendship between our brothers has nothing to do with silver! I have a relationship with my eldest brother purely because I appreciate his heroic nature. Our old man was born between heaven and earth, and the most comfortable thing is to come by temperament! ”

Yan Qinghong's tone was extremely Jianghu, and he also took out the silver to solve the dilemma of the five people in Mobei. Under the heart-to-mouth movements against each other, it is even more sincere.

So at this time, Mugel's tone was also full of emotion:

"Brother, you can say that, that is, in the bottom of your heart, you really look down on us Mobei rough people. But we've all seen it just now, and the lowest table of the banquet costs fifty taels of silver, which is a bit too wasteful, and we've all eaten a bowl of noodles just now......"

Yan Qinghong waved his hand and interrupted Mugel's words:

"Big brother's words are a little out of sight! You are all Mobei men, just their Arhat noodles, there is not even a little oil in the noodle soup, can you eat enough? I treat you with sincerity, and I hope you will treat me as such! Little brother, I'll just ask a question, if you are really full, raise your legs and go, and when the money bag is retrieved, I will let people send it to the house; If you haven't eaten enough, or you haven't satisfied your cravings and are not satisfied, then stay and have a few drinks with my little brother! Our brothers have just made an appointment to get drunk! ”

Seeing that Yan Qinghong had said everything to this point, Mugel slapped his thigh directly:

"Since my brother has said so, then it won't be enough for me to hide it anymore! That bowl of noodles is not enough to even stuff between the teeth, how can it be full? I just heard that there is grape wine from the Western Regions in this Huiyou Building, and I have long wanted to taste what it tastes like! ”

"Come on, come on, come on, let's get some grapes!"

Yan Qinghong didn't say a word, and shouted towards the private room on the second floor. It didn't take long for a guy to run out who was resting. He was still angry, but when he looked down, Yan Qinghong was sitting in the main hall on the first floor, and he immediately changed to a surprised smile:

"Hey, who should I be, it turns out to be the second master!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran to the back hall, and it didn't take long for a bottle of grape wine that was still bubbling cold to be placed on Yan Qinghong's table.

Ignoring the exclamations of Mugel's people, Yan Qinghong first raised his eyebrows, and said with a chill:

"Why do you just take a pot? Is it because I'm afraid that I can't afford to drink the second master, and I can't pay the bill without money? ”

The young man also smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Who can be afraid that the second master will not have the money to pay the bill? Isn't that blind? Just now I went to the backyard ice cellar to get wine, which was ordered by Song Tou'er in the back kitchen, saying that the grassland man is not used to drinking such a soft fruit wine, and he will personally serve you something else in a while! This bottle is just for a few people to try the appetizer! ”

Mugel gasped when he heard this:

Who is this new brother? A small bottle costs twenty taels of silver wine from the Western Regions, and this big restaurant even said that it would be sent!
