Chapter 10: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

Arrange for Xiao Er to get a few dishes, mostly meat, as for the taste, forget it, I won't talk about it, I will eat it. Beckoning his brother in, Chu Qing looked like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking east and west, his eyes were straight when he saw the geisha on the high platform, Chu Ze clearly saw the word desire from Chu Qing's face, and seeing that the saliva at the corner of his mouth was about to stay, Chu Ze hurriedly pulled his brother away, "It's too embarrassing"!

Looking at the food on the table, Chu Qing finally relieved himself, "Second brother, these will cost a lot of silver taels, let's not eat here." ”

Chu Ze looked at his brother, smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Brother who is okay, today's meal is free of charge from the restaurant, don't need money, eat with confidence." ”

Chu Qing ate with confidence, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and stuffed the food into his mouth with chopsticks, and swallowed the dish before it reached his mouth, as if someone was robbing him, this meal looked like he hadn't eaten for three days! While eating, he shouted, "Second brother, the food here is so delicious, no wonder rich people come here to eat!" ”

Chu Qing's eating appearance attracted sideways glances from the surrounding diners from time to time, "It's too embarrassing, it's just too embarrassing, I won't bring this unreliable brother to eat next time!" Chu Ze lowered his head deeply and kept drinking.

"Isn't this my classmate Chu Dacai? Why did you come to this drunken tower for dinner today? Is there money to pay the bills? A very annoying voice reached Chu Ze's ears, and when he turned his head, it was none other than Gao Zhe, who went to Chu Ze's house a few days ago to make trouble! Life is often like this, a person who you hate will always come to you from time to time, just to make you respond to him more, Chu Ze is in this mood at this time.

It's also a coincidence, today is the monthly poetry meeting of Zuixiaolou, Gao Zhe, who does not learn and has no skills, obviously has no literary talent in his belly, but he prefers to be vassally elegant, and he came to this Zuixiaolou early this morning. While fantasizing about his poetry and writing skills, his eyes couldn't help but aim towards the geisha on the stage, and he inadvertently saw the two brothers of the Chu family, and immediately decided to come over and humiliate them.

Chu Qing glanced at Gao Zhe in disgust, "Do we have any money to pay the bill, this doesn't seem to be your business, right?" ”

Gao Zhe didn't care about Chu Ze's disgusted eyes, how could he say that the elephant cared about the ants glaring at it, Chu Ze at this time was like an ant in Gao Zhe's opinion, he could pinch it as much as he wanted. looked at Chu Ze with a smile and said, "Chu Ze, I can't care if you have the money to pay the bill, but don't forget the loan shark that your brother owes!" After saying that, he laughed, and the two doglegs who followed Gao Zhe also laughed presumptuously.

Hearing this, Chu Qing, who was immersed in eating on the side, couldn't sit still anymore, and suddenly got up and looked at Gao Zhe hatefully, his hands clenched tightly, and he looked at Gao Zhe with hatred.

Chu Ze pulled his brother and said to Gao Zhe, "The matter of usury, naturally, I will not forget it, but I agreed to pay it back in a month, and today is not yet a month's deadline, right?" ”

"A month? The money owed to my family, naturally I have the final say, today, if you don't pay more than 30 yuan today, you won't be able to get out of this restaurant! ”

"Pay back the money, just pay it back today, and quickly pay back the money you owe to our Young Master Gao!" The two doglegs also echoed loudly next to them!

Chu Ze secretly thought about how to solve today's matter in his heart, "The six jars of bean sprouts were sold for a total of six yuan, plus the ten yuan in exchange for teaching the kitchen to cook, a total of sixteen yuan, and there is still a difference of fourteen yuan, but where to get these fourteen yuan now?" ”

Seeing that Chu Ze didn't speak, Gao Zhe laughed even louder, "What? Is there no money? Don't have the money to pack anything? Still come to this drunken tower for dinner? Don't ask if this is the place where you can come? I'm in a good mood today, as long as you get under my crotch, I'll read it for the sake of my former classmates, and I'll give you a few more days! Hahaha laughed out loud again, this laugh was very proud! Today, many Chang'an talents are gathered here, as long as this Chu Ze crosses under me, no one will know how powerful my Gao Zhe is at that time! In fact, at the beginning, Gao Zhe made up his mind to come over and humiliate Chu Ze, just to become famous at this poetry meeting.

"Drill through, drill through! I don't have the money to come here to eat, poor ghost! ”

Chu Qing's eyes turned even redder, although he gambled before, but it was also to earn money in order to let Chu Ze study, this honest man in Guanzhong, he thought that his brother was a capable person when he was a child, where did he see his brother being bullied like this! A pair of fists were about to hit Gao Zhe, "I'll fight with you!" ”

"Brother, don't!" , Chu Ze hurriedly stopped Chu Qing. said to Gao Ze: "Thirty yuan is right!" Okay, I'll pay you back the thirty yuan today! You take out the notes! ”

"Where did you get the thirty bucks?" Determined that Chu Ze had no money, Gao Zhe was also stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Chu Ze, until now, are you still pretending?" Wait, I'll see where you got the thirty yuan, and when I give you the note, I'll see how you can pretend to be! With that, he sent his men home to get the note.

As for Chu Ze, at this time, he found the shopkeeper Hu, "Shopkeeper Hu, in case of emergency, can you withdraw 14 yuan first, and the bean sprouts will be guaranteed to be sent over after five days!" ”

The shopkeeper wiped his beard and thought seriously, fourteen yuan is not a small amount, and the kid in front of him is dealing with it for the first time, and he is a little embarrassed. Now that Chu Ze is in front of him, he is really in trouble, the bean sprouts are selling very hot today, and I believe that after today, more people will come to the restaurant. Take a gamble, see that this kid is also a sincere person, after the bean sprouts incident, the shopkeeper Hu chose to believe Chu Ze! In his later years, when Shopkeeper Hu recalled how he spread his business step by step throughout the Tang Empire, and even overseas, Shopkeeper Hu attributed all this to the fourteen yuan, of course, this is a later story!

Shopkeeper Hu, who had made up his mind, looked at Chu Ze seriously and said, "Okay!" I'll arrange for the account office to pick it up! ”

Chu Ze looked at Shopkeeper Hu gratefully, "Thank you Shopkeeper Hu for this, thank you for your kindness!" "Chu Ze is grateful to the shopkeeper Hu from the bottom of his heart, and the person who can pull himself in the most difficult time is always worth remembering! I made up my mind to cooperate more with the shopkeeper Hu in the future, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated!

Gao Zhe, who returned to Chu Ze's desk with the note, saw the full amount of money on the table, and said hatefully, "Isn't this money grabbed somewhere, where can you get the thirty yuan, Chu Ze, you really lost the face of Mr.!" ”

"Gao Zhe, how did I raise the money, it's not your turn to take care of it, thirty yuan of money, a lot of money here, take the note, let's clear it!"

Looking at these thirty times, Qian Gaozhe also helplessly took out the note, and said hatefully: "Hmph, Chu Ze!" I've remembered today's events, and we'll see! "Arranged for his subordinates to move away thirty pieces of money, turned around and left, and didn't care about participating in the poetry meeting! Some people are like this, when they are going to humiliate and hit others, if they don't do it, they will hate this person in their hearts, and Gao Zhe is like this at this time! Before, it was to humiliate Chu Ze to find pleasure, but after today's events, he held a grudge against Chu Ze in his heart!

Chu Ze picked up the note, looked at it, and handed it to Chu Qing seriously, "Brother, this is the note you made, and now that it has been resolved, you can take the note and destroy it, don't do such stupid things in the future." ”

Looking at the note in his hand, at this moment, this Guanzhong man couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes were red, and tears flowed out! According to this word these days, my brother has been injured, and my family is afraid all day long, and it is all my own harm! tore the note to shreds and cried, "Second brother, I'm sorry for you!" ”

"Brother, don't cry, we're brothers!"

After a good meal, Chu Qing was finally persuaded to stop, stopped crying and continued to eat! "This brother is really a foodie! Alas, I'm still a child, don't you want this! ”
