Chapter 104: A Matter of Face
Liu Gao has been a housekeeper in the Liu family for many years, and he is indeed more skilled in handling things than Huo Laosi. The next morning, Liu Gao got up early and started to work, and when the others got up, the washing water had been prepared, the gruel and dough had been put on the table, and even the horses pulling the cart had been fed.
"Yes, it's better than the fourth brother, and it's from a big family."
Liu Gao smiled: "I don't have any other skills, just this little thing, I can't eat idle food here in Mr., I can do whatever I can!" β
"Good! I'll leave it to you in the future! Su Ren greeted: "Let's eat!" Liu Gao also sits! This can be regarded as an official recognition that Liu Gao is his own person.
It's raining today, and I can't walk or go out, not even in the yard. Huang Shisan led the guards to perform their duties seriously, and Huo Laosi beckoned people to move the goods back to the house so as not to get caught in the rain. Huo Qian, Leng Yue, and Huo Zhilan were talking in the inner room. Only Su Ren, Leng Jun, Hawking, and Liu Gao were left outside.
Looking at the drizzling rain outside the door, Su Ren glanced up at the sky. The dark clouds were overwhelming, and it was dark and gloomy: "It seems that it won't stop for a while, but fortunately, the southeast is bright, and it shouldn't be long." β
"Hey!" Hawking sighed: "This ghost weather, if it rains, it rains, the sun was so good yesterday, what kind of rain did it rain in the morning?" β
"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, everything is arranged by God, how can we mortals know?" Leng Jun sat cross-legged on the cushion beside him, like an old god.
Su Ren shook his head: "That's not necessarily, this rain also makes sense, when it's hot, the water vapor is evaporated, floating in the air is a cloud, when it is cold and falls on the ground, it is rain, and then it is cold, and then it is snow, it suddenly becomes cold, the water vapor is directly frozen into ice, and what falls is hail, autumn!" The cold air from the plateau came down and met the humid hot air we had here, and the water vapor condensed, and it rained normally. β
Hawking and Liu Gao didn't seem to understand. Su Ren said it simply, every word and sentence were heard clearly, and it was a little incredible when they were connected. The two of them looked envious. Hawking even asked: "Big brother, when will this rain stop?" β
"It's hard to say, this cold air and hot air meet, it's like two armies fighting, no matter where it wins, the rain will stop, the difference is that the cold air wins, the sky will get colder, the hot air wins, the weather is still warm, now it's nearly October, the temperature difference between the four seasons in our Shuzhong is not big, and now it's a southeast wind, in my opinion, the rain may be able to stop in the afternoon, and the weather is still warm!"
"Myths confuse the public!" Leng Jun was noncommittal to Su Ren's theory.
"I think what the eldest brother said makes sense! Sounds like that! Hawking agreed, turned his head and asked Liu Gaodao: "You say, is the eldest brother right or the second brother right?" β
"Ahh Uh......" Liu Gao blushed and his neck was thick, looked at Su Ren and looked at Leng Jun, lowered his head and said nothing.
Huo Jin was counting on Liu Gao to stand on his side, but when he saw Liu Gao looking forward and backward, he snorted coldly: "You guy's stinky problem hasn't changed yet!" Not even a position. β
Su Ren smiled and patted Liu Gao on the shoulder: "It's okay, this kid just likes to be embarrassed, Leng Jun is still his master, you see that this kid is now a six bullies and exterminates his ancestors." β
"Whoever deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, I will help you, and you still mock me!" Hawking stood up.
"Okay, don't get excited, I was wrong, I'll make amends to you!"
Liu Gao watched Su Ren and Hawking making trouble in the house, and finally had a slight smile on his face.
In the afternoon, the rain stopped. When the sun comes out, it is very comfortable to bask in the warm body. Several people had already forgotten Su Ren's prophecy in the morning, only Liu Gao looked at Su Ren in surprise, thinking that Su Ren was an immortal.
Although the rain stopped, the road was muddy. They went to Chengdu this time to move, and the goods were bulky, so they couldn't go on such a road. Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, a large group of people decided to go out for a stroll on the streets. Huo Laosi and Liu Gao volunteered to stay and watch the house, and Su Ren took Leng Jun, Huo Jin, Leng Yue, and Huo Zhilan to the street.
The street is full of silk shops and farmers, and they live in a relatively remote place, turning around and coming to the main street. It turned out that the silk market did not stop because of the rain. Those with umbrellas put their umbrellas under their arms and made even more noise. Those who don't have an umbrella are wet, and when the sun shines, it's like becoming an immortal.
Su Ren and a few people were followed by three or five strong men, all the way over, attracting everyone's constant sideways. No one knows whose family this is a group of sons. Some silk shop owners with light business will also invite a few people to take a look.
I was just halfway through when I suddenly found a shop with a wide faΓ§ade. It's the most crowded and the most lively. There are nine shops, and each place is crowded with people. On the top of the three facades in the middle, there is a long plaque, and the three big characters of "Xiangfu" are particularly eye-catching.
"I didn't expect Cui Fatzi to have such a good business here, I knew that we wouldn't live in that desolate yard."
Su Ren gave Hawking a look, Hawking rolled up his sleeves, waved his arms, and squeezed in from the crowd: "Let Rang, let Rang, the owner is here!" β
There was a big mess in the good business, and many people turned their heads to scold, but when they saw the three or five strong men behind Su Ren, the voice of the scolding was immediately much quieter.
The guy in the door was busy, and Hawking suddenly broke in front of him and slapped his palm on the long case: "Where are you shopkeepers?" The distinguished guests will not be greeted when they arrive, if Cui Fatzi knows that you treat my eldest brother like this, you don't have to be the shopkeeper. β
The guy looked at the man in front of him carefully, although he was tall, his hair had not grown. One of them sneered a few times: "Whose doll are you, see what kind of place this is?" Acquaintances hurry up, or don't blame us for being polite! β
"You're welcome?" Hawking glared at him and thumped it the case. Fortunately, the case was strong, otherwise it would have been cut in two, and one leg would have been broken.
"You! What are you going to do? The guy in the store immediately lost his arrogance just now, hurriedly retreated, and shouted as he retreated: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, someone is making trouble!" β
The curtain was raised, and a rich middle-aged man came out from behind. This person has a good look, a square face, has never spoken, and has a three-point smile on his face. It makes people feel friendly at first glance. The standard merchant dress, with wide robes and large sleeves, and a square mountain crown, is high above his head.
In the face of Hawking's arrogance, this person bowed his hand: "I don't know what the guest officer needs?" The small shop specializes in silk, all kinds of quality and quality, although it can not be complete, but it can also meet the requirements of the guests. β
"You're the shopkeeper here?" Hawking leaned in and sat directly on the long case where the silk was placed: "This auspicious fortune is the industry of Zitong Cui Jiuming Cui Fat?" β
The man smiled slightly: "Childe knows my son-in-law?" β
"It's not an acquaintance, it's just an acquaintance!" Hawking smiled: "Cui Fat didn't tell you anything?" β
The man thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "I don't know what Childe meant?" β
"Oops! Didn't you tell you that my eldest brother is here, you want to be treated? β
"Childe's eldest brother is ......?"
Su Ren straightened his body, his face full of pride: "If you want to ask my eldest brother, you have to know where we came from, to tell you the truth, Su Ren of Wenshui County, that is my eldest brother!" β
The business of the Xiangfu was so disturbed by Hawking that it had long been impossible to do it, and everyone gathered at the door to watch the excitement. At first, everyone pointed fingers, thinking that Hawking, a stunned young man, would be beaten today. When Hawking said the name Su Ren, the audience instantly fell silent.
In the past six months, the words of Wenshui County Laojunguan Wenling Salt Industry Company have been well-known in Shuzhong. Not only because of the cloth bag salt there, but also in recent times, all kinds of furs, medicinal herbs, wood, gems and other goods from Yelang have also been spread, and everyone who does business does not want to be on the same line with Su Ren, the legendary figure of Lao Junguan.
When the man heard this, there was not much surprise on his face: "It turned out to be Mr. Su's brother, but he didn't see it, I don't know why Gongzi came here today?" β
Hawking's pride did not get the desired effect, and he pointed at the man helplessly: "What do you say?" My eldest brother and we have come to you, and you can't entertain you well? β
"Oh......!" The man seemed to have just understood, and then said: "I am the shopkeeper of the Xiangfu number, except for collecting and selling silk, the owner has not explained other things, and I ask the son to forgive me." β
"You!" Hawking touched a soft nail, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, and he was about to smash the stall, but was stopped by Su Ren. As he walked out, he glared at the shopkeeper: "Good, good! You wait, I can't cure you, Cui Fat will never be able to get around you! β
When the group came out, the crowd burst into laughter, and everyone regarded Hawking and the group as swaggering guys, but praised the shopkeeper.
This happened, and everyone lost the heart to continue shopping.
On the way back, Hawking was still indignant: "This Cui fat man actually let us lose such a big person, the next time I see him, I must clean up well." β
Huo Zhilan was on the side to help his brother. Leng Jun and Leng Yue shook their heads and said nothing, especially Leng Jun, looking at Su Ren's constant sneer, his face was hateful, and he wanted to beat him at a glance.
Su Ren glared at Hawking: "Okay!" It's normal for people not to know each other, and Jiu Jiuming is not a fairy, how does he know when we will leave, and he will stop in this Sangyuan Town, what's the use of you being angry? It's not lukewarm water, so everyone doesn't know you, in fact, it's also a good thing, let us know that we can't always sleep on the original credit book! β
"I think that guy is sincere, if Cui Fatzi doesn't give me this bad breath, my Hawking won't be surnamed Huo!"
"Smack!" Huo Laosi came out of nowhere, and gave Hawking a shock: "Turtle son, it's against you!" What do you want to do if you don't have a surname? β
