Chapter 66: A Coincidental Encounter with a Desperate Saburo
The next day, Ye Ling and the three of them got up after three poles, and the owner of the shop enthusiastically invited them to lunch again, so frightened that Ye Ling hurriedly brought some wine, meat and dry food and fled in a hurry, for fear that they would be surrounded by hospitable and excessive villagers again, and they would have to get drunk for another day if they didn't get it right.
On the way, Shi Jin sighed with emotion: "Brother, I finally understand why you want our cottage to play the banner of doing things for heaven and eliminating violence, it turns out that the people are so welcome." ”
Ye Ling sighed lightly and said: "Yes, the people of our Great Song Dynasty are actually the best people, they are all honest and hard work, and the picture is just to be able to eat and dress warmly, and the family is reunited, but such a small request can't be done in many places, the court colludes, and in the fish and meat township, plus many forces like Taohuashan, called the heroes of the rivers and lakes, but in fact they are bastards who harm the people, so we need to do a lot." ”
Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, as long as we work hard, we will overthrow this bird court in the future, and you will be an emperor by then, and the people will naturally have a good life, hahaha." ”
In this way, the three of them talked and laughed and went straight to the destination of this time-Jinling City.
A few days later, they finally arrived at Jinling, only to see a big place, a total of four city gates in the south, south, west, and northwest, as well as high city walls, and a Qinhuai River running through the whole city, adding to the momentum.
At this time, the Song Dynasty was the richest place in the world, and Jinling played a pivotal role as an important town in the south, many rich people lived here, and there were many people with a net worth of more than one million, and the level of 100,000 could only be said to be ordinary rich households, which can be seen.
Ye Ling and the three of them had never seen such a big city, and they couldn't take their eyes off it, especially Ruan Xiaoqi, who had never left Shijie Village for a hundred miles in his life, and his eyes were even wider, and he felt curious about everything.
The three of them watched and played like this, and by noon they were a little hungry, and this was not as good as the road, taverns could be said to be everywhere, and they were all very distinctive, so the three of them found an exquisite tavern to prepare for some wine and food.
After entering the hotel, Shi Jin found a big table and asked Ye Ling to sit first, and then Ruan Xiaoqi was impatient to look at the wine list, so he directly ordered ten catties of sauce beef, a sweet and sour fish, a sauce duck, a few cold dishes and a jar of old wine.
After a while, Xiao Er brought all the wine and meat, and the three of them had just eaten two bites when they heard someone arguing at the door, and the sound was very loud.
"You bird master, I just ate one of your ducks, why do you ask me for five hundred dollars? My hometown is only a hundred dollars, don't you bully me when you see that I am a foreigner? ”
"Hmph, you dirt bun, I don't know which countryside comes out of it, you put the trick a little brighter, this is Jinling City, Xuzhou's premier place, how can the price be comparable to your countryside? This eight-treasure osmanthus duck is 500 Wen, and we didn't pit you, if you don't have the money to eat, just say it, why make excuses? Hahaha. ”
"You! You dare to look down on me, I fight with you! ”
Next is the sound of hands-on, Ye Ling heard this and understood that there must be outsiders who have suffered a loss when they first came here, this is not only in this era, even if it is inevitable that intelligence and transportation are so developed in later generations, he suddenly felt compassion.
So Ye Ling walked out of the store, and saw a strong man pulling with a small stall owner selling ducks outside the door, this man was twenty-four or five years old, more than eight feet long, extremely majestic, and his face was simple, and the stall owner was a man in his fifties, although it was not low, but in front of this strong man, it was a big deal, and the strong man was furious and grabbed the shopkeeper's collar with one hand, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
But the shopkeeper didn't panic, and immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Come on, come and see, this person eats my duck in broad daylight and is going to beat someone if he doesn't give money, everyone come quickly." ”
Outside, there are nearly 100 people watching the excitement, many people are still pointing fingers, Jinling City doesn't know that tens of thousands of people come and go every day, this kind of thing is actually very normal, it happens several times a day, so everyone doesn't care.
The young strong man's face turned red, and his other hand was clenched tightly, but he couldn't fight, it seemed that he was not an unreasonable person, after all, he was in the first place in this matter, and he was embarrassed to really do it.
Ye Ling separated the crowd and said to the shopkeeper, "That master, how much does he owe you?" ”
The shopkeeper saw that Ye Ling was gorgeously dressed and imposing, but he didn't dare to underestimate it, and hurriedly said: "This little brother, you come to judge the theory, he ate one of my eight-treasure osmanthus ducks worth five hundred yuan, but he was only willing to pay back one hundred yuan, isn't this bullying?" In my opinion, this kind of country man should not have come ... ”
Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Ye Ling, he took out a piece of silver for one tael and threw it in front of the shopkeeper and said coldly: "Shopkeeper, I'll pay back the money for him, this is one or two silver, you can buy you four ducks, you don't have to look for money, just give me three more." ”
The shopkeeper naturally had nothing to say when he saw that someone had repaid the money, so he honestly bent down and picked up the silver, looked at it carefully, put it in his pocket, and immediately wrapped three steaming ducks that had just come out of the oven, nodded and handed them to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling said lightly: "The shopkeeper, it's better for us to be kind, say as big things as there are, this future life is not deliberately blackmailing you duck to eat, it's just that you are not familiar with the market for the first time, and if you really want to do it desperately with his skills, you are afraid that you will be disabled if you don't die at this time, and even if he eats a lawsuit, is it worth it?" It's just for a duck. ”
This time it was the shopkeeper's turn to be taught by Ye Ling's face to flush, but he saw that Ye Ling's dress and demeanor were completely like a rich child, he was a small businessman who could never afford to offend, and then think about it, what Ye Ling said was also reasonable, so he had to say yes again and again.
Next, Ye Ling put the purse with three ducks in the hand of the latter and said with a smile: "Brother, next time you have to pay more attention, things in this Jinling City are very expensive, you must ask the price before buying, I see that you like to eat ducks, how can you have enough for such a majestic man, take these few to eat, hehe." ”
After saying that, Ye Ling turned around and was about to go back to the store, but he didn't expect that Housheng would kneel directly on the spot, and kowtow to him three times: "Engong is on top, the villain Shixiu kowtowed to you, I really don't know what to do today without you." ”
Ye Ling stopped suddenly, Shi Xiu, desperately San Lang Shi Xiu?
