Chapter 63: A Rare Wine and Meat Brother
Soon, all the wine and food were served, and the four of them were not too polite, and after a while, they had already begun to push the cup and change the lamp.
"Come on, come on, let's have a drink together, don't drink more today but drink to the fullest." Li Fugui picked up his wine glass and said enthusiastically.
"Wyvern......"
As soon as Li Fugui wanted to speak, he was stopped by Kang Damao raising his hand, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing what the reason was.
"Stop, Brother Li, there are no outsiders here, I know that in the Chamber of Commerce before, you called me Brother Feilong to give me face and raise my hand, don't call me that in the future, you just call me Brother Damao, I listen to it well." Kang Damao said solemnly.
This Brother Li only shouted Li Fugui warmly in his heart, the other party didn't put up any shelf in front of Jiang Shi's father and son at all, but treated each other sincerely, he didn't say anything, just nodded heavily, raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, everything was in the wine.
"Brother Mao, I think that since you are determined to operate in this Yaowan Town, you should get a position in the Chamber of Commerce, and it is convenient to do so, as for you, if you are worried that they will restrain you in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, you don't have to worry, you can get an honorary title from my father, of course, you will definitely not be able to be the honorary vice president, I think it should be good to get an honorary director." Hua Shao put his arm on the chair on the side and said thoughtfully, his words were very intimate, and he could be regarded as helping Kang Damao think about everything.
Kang Damao couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Hua Shao's words, and when he listened to it, he suddenly felt a little reasonable, but when he first arrived, he had not made any contribution to Yaowan Town, and second, he had no qualifications, so it must not be so simple to become an honorary director.
"Brother Hua, having said that, you also know that I am young and have little qualifications, and the honorary director of the Chamber of Commerce is probably useless." Kang Damao pouted and said.
Since the last time they had a drink, the two of them have called each other Brother Mao and Brother Hua, otherwise how can wine talk about things and promote feelings.
"Da Mao Xian's nephew, since you and my son are brothers, you must not be a friend of wine and meat, I can help with this favor, I will go and tell President Zhao tomorrow to get you an honorary director to hang, I still have this face, I still have Jiang Shancun, I just need to give a little silver."
Kang Damao was overjoyed when he heard Jiang Shancun's words, he quickly got up and respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Silver is not a problem, then there is Uncle Lao Jiang." ”
It's just that his eyes glanced at Hua Shao, who was leaning on the chair, and the two just looked at each other: I'm sorry! I'm sorry to disappoint you, the two of us are really friends with wine and meat, haha!
Hua Shao turned his head and held back a laugh, it would be embarrassing if he couldn't help laughing at this time.
"Okay, now that the matter of your honorary director is settled, Brother Damao, shouldn't we have a drink together!" Li Fugui raised his glass again, and the other three smiled and drank together.
After that, Li Fugui and Jiang Shancun talked about some business cooperation intentions between the north and the south, Kang Damao and Hua Shao were not much interested in their business, but the two sat together and drank a few glasses, which was really a good wine and meat friend.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the topic of conversation between the two gradually deepened.
"Brother, you tell the truth, did you come to Yaowan Town to do business and secretly track down porcelain smuggling?" Hua Shao lowered his head and raised his eyes to Kang Damao and asked in a low voice.
Kang Damao "chuckled" in his heart, and he was noncommittal.
"Hehe, you don't have to answer, your expression has said everything, don't worry, I'm a neutral party, and this matter has nothing to do with me." Hua Shao spread out his hands as he spoke, shrugged his shoulders, and had an expression of disinterest.
"How did you find out?" Kang Damao asked suspiciously.
"Don't forget, I have a lot of eyeliner in Yaowan Town, and the address of that foreigner is what I sent to tell you, isn't it? Also, I was there when you sent someone to Gege to ask for the help of the guards that night, and I knew that this matter was not so simple. Hua Shao said and tapped his fingers lightly on the table to alert him.
"Thanks for the reminder! It's just that I have to find out about this matter and comfort my eldest brother in the spirit of heaven. Kang Damao said with a solemn face, his attitude was very resolute.
"You'd better slow down for a while, this case is not only yours investigating, the Beijing official sent by the capital to Yaowan Town to secretly investigate the smuggling case was killed just a few days ago." Hua Shao said in a cold whisper, he didn't plan to tell Kang Damao these words, but today since the fate of the wine and meat brothers has been renewed between the two of them, he naturally wants to tell the inside story to the other party.
"Huh?" Kang Damao couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise when he heard this, the capital also sent people to investigate the porcelain smuggling case, which made him completely unexpected, and now there are people who have died again, it seems that these people are unscrupulous for profit.
Kang Damao originally thought that the porcelain smuggling was the collusion of Yin Hongxu's group of foreigners and Dongying people with some porcelain merchants like Shen Yuhai, so it seemed that it was beyond his imagination at all, and the water was indeed very deep.
"I see!" Kang Damao said solemnly.
Hua Shao saw that Kang Damao really listened to his advice, so he didn't say more, he patted Kang Damao's shoulder, and the two drank a few more glasses.
"You two will drink later, here we go!" Li Fugui waved his hand at Kang Damao and Hua Shao and said, after speaking, he held his head high and looked downstairs through the beaded curtain hanging at the door of the private room.
Kang Damao and Hua Shao listened to Li Fugui's words, put down their wine glasses, followed Li Fugui's gaze, pricked up their ears and listened downstairs.
"Smack!" There was a crunch of waking wood downstairs.
"Last time in "Xue Rengui's Expedition to the West", we said that Xue Rengui led a large army and approached Kuyu City......"
"What shall I begin? It turned out to be the beginning of storytelling, cut! Hua Shao said with some disappointment, and after speaking, he leaned back on the chair.
On the contrary, Kang Damao, Jiang Shancun, plus Li Fugui, the three of them listened to it with relish through the bead curtain.
The guests in the private room are all people with status, most of them listen attentively, the people sitting in the hall on the first floor are not so subtle, they sit at the wine table and listen to it as if they are fascinated, wonderful stories make them feel as if they are in the scene, during the applause continues, applause one after another, it sounds a little noisy, however, many people who like to join in the fun are very good.
In the private room, Hua Shao shook his head helplessly, and when he saw that no one of the three of them paid attention to him, he patiently pricked up his ears and listened.
"When all the soldiers were holding a celebration of the city, they didn't expect the shouting of killing outside the city shook the sky, and the soldiers under the city tower were all shocked, and they ran up to the city tower one after another, and came to the city tower to look down......
At this point, the storyteller deliberately stopped and looked up at the audience.
"Wouldn't it? I had a bad premonition. A diner who often comes here to listen to the story said with his eyes wide open and a bitter face.
"Crow's beak!" The diner at the same table immediately stopped the man, in fact, he knew very well what was going to happen next.
"Smack!" The storyteller gently slammed the waking wood on the table, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "I want to know what happened next and listen to the next breakdown!" ”
"Alas! One more time. ”
"Every time it's the most exciting, it's a real disappointment!"
"I'm so angry, no, I have to go to Lichun Building to find a girl to defeat the fire, I heard that the old man is on fire."
At that moment, there were really two sons who threw some broken silver on the wine table, and then walked away, in the direction of Na Lichun Building.
Seeing the two sons leaving the hall on the first floor, the diners all began to coax, which made the storyteller on the stage a little embarrassed, but he couldn't break the rules, so he could only smile and say: "I can understand everyone's feelings, thank you for your love, there are more exciting programs in the future, we can't take up other people's time, everyone said right?" If you like to listen to it, you will continue tomorrow! ”
After Mr. Storyteller finished speaking, he didn't give everyone in the audience a chance, so he turned around and quickly left to go backstage, he now has a deep understanding that being loved is also a burden.
As soon as the storyteller went, a man in his thirties came to the stage, he was the host of the next talk about the past and the present, commenting on the world's major events, the man hugged his fists at the audience and the guests who couldn't see the private room upstairs and said: "Just now the storyteller was talking about the war between the Sui and Tang dynasties, let's talk about the war between the current Kangxi Emperor and Wu Sangui, the king of Yunnan." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience put down the wine glasses and chopsticks in their hands, talking about the past and the present on weekdays, and at most commenting on current affairs, even if they commented on the court, they rarely involved war, it seems that today is a bit big!
