Chapter 394: A Tavern with No Business
Everyone else can not be seen, even if Lu Bing comes, it can be inferred that he can not see if he is sick, but He Tianchong has to see him!
First, the two killed the Japanese and laid a solid friendship. If you have a friend visiting, how can you not see it!
Second, and most importantly! When he was in Quanzhou, although Jin Zilao had brought back Song Suqing's gold, silver and jewelry, but before he had time to divide it, Feng Jiangting was anxious and had to leave, so he had to go home.
Besides, it is impossible for him to personally pull the gold, silver and jewelry to Jiyuan, how should Feng Jiangting answer when he asks? Even if you take the dry road by yourself, it is unrealistic to pull things to Jiyuan.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and with the large number of people and miscellaneous people, the risk of things leaking out is extremely high.
Therefore, he left the matter to He Tianchong to deal with.
That foreign wealth, conservatively estimated, should be around 20 million taels. This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, not that he is not worried about He Tianchong, but the silver is in his hands after all.
What can happen when he comes to see him? Surely they are here to deliver silver! If you don't see the money, isn't that a fool?
Li Feibai hurriedly said: "Quick, please come in!" Then he said, "No, I will personally go outside to meet him." ”
Menzi was stunned.
Why did Li Feibai suddenly change sex? In the past few days, Li Feibai has been so busy that he hit the back of his head, and many people don't give face, why do you want to give face to a Jinyi Wei Qianhu?
That's right, Jinyi Wei Qianhu can't be easily offended, but when many first-class and second-class officials in the dynasty are offended, why not a small Jinyi Wei Qianhu?
How did he know that it was He Tianchong who came to see Li Feibai, but silver, a full 20 million taels of silver.
Walking to the gate with Menzi, Li Feibai greeted him with open arms and said, "Brother He, farewell to Quanzhou, how many days have we not seen each other?" It's been more than three months! ”
He Tianchong also opened his arms to greet him, and said, "It's not just three months, it's four months for three days!" As they spoke, the two hugged each other and slapped each other on the back.
He Tianchong said again: "I knew that my brother came to the capital and wanted to meet my brother, but there was always something to do!" Today, I have time to see my brother, and I ask my brother not to be surprised! ”
Li Feibai said: "In the world, who doesn't know that Jinyi Wei is busy, how can I be strange!" Let's go, go to my small courtyard to get together, I asked the kitchen to fry a few good dishes, and the royal wine pipe is enough, our brothers have to chat well today, don't get drunk and don't return! ”
He Tianchong said: "Good food is to be eaten, good wine is also to be drunk, and good cigarettes must be smoked." But not in the Guo Taibao Mansion, but outside! With that, he winked.
Li Feibai immediately understood! There are too many idle people in Guo Taibao's mansion, and it is extremely inconvenient to talk and do things, so it is naturally safer to hand over such a large amount of silver.
He nodded and said, "Then let my brother do it!" With that, he turned around and returned to Guo Taibao's mansion, moving a case of wine for the royal family and a box of cigars for the royal family.
The two of them couldn't finish drinking a box of wine and smoking a box of cigars, and these two boxes of things, to put it bluntly, were filial piety to He Tianchong, in gratitude to He Tianchong for his hard work and heartbreak for his 20 million taels of silver.
Qin Meng must have followed, Li Feibai had nothing to worry about him, so he didn't stop him, and let Qin Meng carry things out.
The three of them got into the carriage brought by He Tianchong and came to a tavern. Even if the shop is not big, there is not a single guest in the key.
Qin Meng was delicious, and when he looked at this tavern, he was a little dissatisfied, and said: "He Ye, you are now a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and you follow my brother to do business, you don't look like a master who has no money!" How did you bring us to this place to eat? A tavern that doesn't have a table of guests until the meal, can the food be delicious? In the end, don't spend less money, but eat and starve people. ”
He Tianchong said: "This is my own business, the so-called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and I have a tavern that does not drink from home, so what's the matter with sending money to outsiders?" As for no one to eat, it was to invite the two of you, and I ordered it to go down and not open for business, so that no one ate. As for the taste of the food, Brother Qin put his heart in his stomach, if it is not delicious, my small shop will be smashed by you. ”
Qin Meng said: "This is what you said, don't smash the store when you arrive, you feel distressed and your liver hurts, please be merciful to my subordinates!" ”
The three of them laughed, got out of the carriage, and stepped into the tavern.
Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward, and the shopkeeper also turned out from behind the counter, saluted He Tianchong, and said, "Master, are you here?" ”
He Tianchong nodded and said, "It's here." After a pause, he said, "Are the meals ready?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "The cold dishes have been served, and the hot dishes can be stir-fried at any time!" ”
He Tianchong said: "I'm tired of eating big fish and meat, and I will give me all the game and mountain delicacies." He pointed at Qin Meng and said: "If it is not delicious, it will provoke this Qin Ye to become sexual, and then he will smash the store, I will only ask you!" ”
The shopkeeper smacked his tongue secretly. Qin Meng, this guy, except for being tall and fat, the rest of the places are ordinary, I really didn't expect it to be so powerful, and even the business of Jinyi Wei Qianjia dared to smash. After a while, I have to let the cook cheer up the spirit, cook well, don't annoy this killing god, what can I do if I really smash the store.
He Tianchong asked Xiao Er to go to the car and bring in the two boxes.
Xiao Er brought two boxes, and then closed the door of the tavern, and hung a wooden sign on it, with the words "The owner is happy, temporarily closed".
He Tianchong, Li Feibai, and Qin Meng went upstairs to the private room, and the shopkeeper moved a chair to guard the staircase in person. Every time the cook cooks a dish, he takes it to the staircase, and then the shopkeeper himself brings it to the private room upstairs.
After the three of them had drunk and eaten, He Tianchong instructed the shopkeeper not to come in and scratch no matter how important it was. Qin Meng knew that the two had something important to discuss, so he went out to guard.
Only then did He Tianchong untie the burden he was carrying, untie and take out a delicate wooden box, and opened it: "There are a total of eight silver tickets, which can be exchanged in Liangjing and Henan, with a denomination of 10,000 taels and a total of 2,076 pieces, totaling 20,000,760,000 taels of silver." Brother Li nodded, see if the number is right! ”
Li Feibai took the wooden box and said, "Who can't I trust, and why can't I trust Brother He?" As he spoke, he counted the silver tickets!
He Tianchong felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and said secretly: "After all, you still can't believe me." But Li Feibai's counting of silver tickets is also reasonable, after all, one is 10,000 taels, and one or two less is 12,000 taels of silver, the number is too huge, and it has to be counted clearly.
But seeing that Li Feibai only counted seventy-six tickets, he stopped counting them, took out the seventy-six silver tickets from the box, handed them forward and said: "I only need 20 million taels of silver, and Brother He will take these seventy-six silver tickets for up and down!" ”
He Tianchong said secretly: "I still underestimate him!" "Resolutely refusing to do not want these seventy-six silver tickets, claiming that following Li Feibai to get this wealth for nothing, how can Li Feibai break the bank again.
Li Feibai didn't want to say more, so he directly stuffed the silver ticket into He Tianchong's arms and said, "If you don't accept these seventy-six tickets, or take these two thousand tickets back." If you don't take these seventy-six sheets, I won't ask for these two thousand. ”
He Tianchong understood Li Feibai's temper, Li Feibai said no, he really dared not to. He had to accept the seventy-six silver tickets, and Li Feibai closed the wooden box, put it beside him, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother He, little brother here." ”
He Tianchong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "With so much silver at once, how can there be any hard work?" If I want to say thank you, it should be me who thank Brother Li. ”
