Chapter Ninety-Six: The End of the Business War (2)

The letter tells two stories, which are very interesting and very ingenious. Shopkeeper Yao didn't take it seriously, but when he came to the tea ceremony shop, he suddenly realized.

At the same time, the five-body body that Mo Fei admires is on the ground.

In the past, there was not a word about the tea ceremony shop and Qin Shang, but he didn't reveal a word, and he was often told to do it.

Now, the deal between Yipinxuan and Zhou Papi has been decided, and there is no room for turnaround. Since he has revealed this matter, he naturally hopes that he will do something.

"Pop" The waking wood in the storyteller's hand slapped it hard, which startled the crooked-mouthed shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Yao glanced at the speaker with a smile, patted the shoulder of the crooked shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I'll tell you a story too." ”

"Story?" The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper glanced at the shopkeeper Yao in wonder, you are not a storyteller, what kind of story do you tell? Hungry?

Shopkeeper Yao looked at the crooked-mouthed shopkeeper with a reluctant face, and directly pulled him to sit on the pestle next to him. smiled: "The story is very interesting, you have to listen to it!" It is said that once upon a time there was a mountain village called Monkey Village, as the name suggests! There are many monkeys in the mountains in the village. On this day, a merchant from the Han Kingdom came to the village, and this merchant had a lot of money.

The merchant looked at the monkeys all over the mountain and said to the villagers, 'I want to buy the monkeys here for a tael of silver.' The villagers of Monkey Village didn't know whether it was true or not, so they tried to catch the monkey, and the merchant gave him a tael of silver. So, the whole village thought about it, and this deal was a good deal. They all went to the mountains to catch monkeys, which was much more cost-effective than farming. Soon, the merchant bought more than two thousand monkeys, and there were very few monkeys in the mountains. ”

The tone of the storytelling of the shopkeeper Yao is plain, as tasteless as not putting sesame seeds in sesame soup. However, as a merchant, he is still very keen on such stories.

Then the merchant made another offer, and this time the merchant paid for a monkey for two taels of silver. Ooh! When the villagers saw that the price of monkeys had doubled, they rushed to the mountains to catch the monkeys, and the merchants fulfilled their promise and bought the monkeys again. At this time, it was already difficult to catch monkeys in the monkey village.

Seeing the opportunity, the merchant raised the price and offered three taels of silver to buy a monkey, but the monkey could hardly be caught. The merchant gritted his teeth and offered five taels of silver to buy a monkey, and by this time there were no monkeys on the mountain, and all of them were with the merchant.

On this day, when the merchant went to the city on something, he sent his treasurer, Qiao Zhuangcheng, to the monkey village and said to the villagers, 'I have monkeys here, and one monkey will sell to you for three taels of silver, and when the merchant returns, you will sell one of five taels of silver to the merchant, and you will be rich.'

This sounded good, so the villagers went crazy and smashed the pot and sold iron to make enough money to buy all the monkeys back. And the monkey seller left with the money, and the merchant never returned. ”

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Yao stopped the story in his mouth, and the shopkeeper with a crooked mouth faintly felt that something was wrong. But I couldn't say it, seeing that Shopkeeper Yao stopped the story in his mouth, he said, "It's over?" ”

"It's over."

The crooked shopkeeper scolded with a smile: "Old Yao, have you fooled others like this, oops...... You're not kind! But...... These villagers are too stupid, you say this ......"

As the crooked-mouthed shopkeeper was talking, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly caught some information, and his voice stopped abruptly. Then, dumbfounded, he screamed: "Tea...... Tea, these teas are not the tea of the Zhou Mansion, but the tea of the Qin merchants? Qin Shang ...... Qin Shang is gone? ”

This shrill scream interrupted the storyteller's mouth and caused everyone to turn back. Shopkeeper Yao saw the crooked mouth shopkeeper screaming, shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "Qin Shang is gone, of course, it can also be said that Qin Shang did not come." ”

The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and muttered, "No wonder...... No wonder the price of tea has been rising, no wonder Qin merchants want to buy so much tea. It turned out that in the end, it was our Yipinxuan who bought the tea of Chang'an at a high price. Who is it? Who did this to me? ”

The crooked shopkeeper suddenly pointed at the shopkeeper Yao, filled with righteous indignation, and cursed: "It's you...... It's your tea ceremony shop, that's you! Raising the price of tea, pretending to be a Qin businessman, buying tea, and then using Zhou Papi, an old thing that was a latecomer and a daughter-in-law, to resell the tea to me. You guys...... You bastards. ”

Shopkeeper Yao lowered his face coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you forget everyone's identity, don't you have few private affairs in Yipinxuan?" How glorious you are! ”

The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Where did you get the money to buy tea from your tea ceremony shop?" ”

Shopkeeper Yao seemed to be in a good mood, looked at the crooked shopkeeper and smiled, and then said loudly: "Why don't I tell you a story?" ”

Those who ate tea, seeing that the crooked mouth shopkeeper and the Yao shopkeeper broke out into a fierce quarrel, knew that there was a cat between the two, and now when they heard the Yao shopkeeper say this, how could they not be happy, and urged repeatedly: "Speak!" Shopkeeper Yao, we haven't seen you tell a story yet. ”

"Hahaha! Shopkeeper Yao, this tea shop is not easy to do, but he has the idea of storytelling, and we will give you a hand at this scene. Speak! ”

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Shopkeeper Yao glanced at the crooked shopkeeper with an indignant face, and said slowly: "This is a lazy day in a hot town. The sun is high and the streets are deserted. At this time, a wealthy merchant came from out of town, he entered a restaurant, took out a piece of silver and put it on the counter, and said that he wanted to look at the room first and choose a suitable room for the night.

While the man was going upstairs, the shopkeeper took the ingot and went to the butcher next door to pay the money he owed for the meat. The butcher had the ingot, and crossed the long street to pay off the cloth merchant's clothes. And the cloth-dealer took the ingot, and went to pay the money for his prostitution.

The prostitute got the ingot and went to the restaurant to pay off the money. The shopkeeper of the restaurant put the ingot on the counter to prevent the merchant from going downstairs to get suspicious. Now the man was coming downstairs, and took up the ingot, and said that there was no one satisfied, and he put it in his pocket, and went away. ”

Shopkeeper Yao stopped here. Everyone waited for a while, and when they saw that Shopkeeper Yao no longer spoke, they muttered, "It's over?" ”

"It's over!"

"Shhhh Shopkeeper Yao, I thought you were talking about a story, your story was too boring. ”

"That's right! And why didn't the shopkeeper of the restaurant even have a single ingot of silver, and could the butcher and the prostitute owe money on credit? ”

"Yo! Erdan, last time you went to Lichun Courtyard and Grandma Cuihua to turn the phoenix upside down, isn't it also a silver money on credit. ”

"Hahaha......"

The story of Shopkeeper Yao is indeed full of loopholes, and when these people hear it, they feel bored, and they change the topic and make fun of others.

But the crooked shopkeeper, as a businessman, naturally knows the connotation of this story, the means of money circulation...... What is the meaning. After pondering for a long time, he said suspiciously: "You mean to say that you used Jing Runxing's money to buy the tea?" ”

Shopkeeper Yao nodded and said, "Actually, we used the money you stored in Jingrunxing to buy the tea. ”

"Good! Good! Good! The crooked shopkeeper said three good words in a row, and then scolded: "The strategy is ingenious, interlocking, you have lost your conscience in order to harm us Yipinxuan." And also...... I know that you have no eyes, you don't have this scheming, who is it, who is it? ”

The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper shouted hysterically. Shopkeeper Yao didn't respond, and the shopkeeper roared with a crooked mouth: "Even so, so what? We are still here, we still have tea, what can you do for half a day? ”

Shopkeeper Yao shook his head and sighed: "The tea from all over the country will be transported to Chang'an soon, and the tea you have accumulated in your hand will only be in the end, and you will not be able to drink it." Moreover, you also owe Jing Runxing a lot of money on credit. Second Prince...... Will it let you go? ”

As soon as the shopkeeper Yao's voice fell, the crooked mouth shopkeeper was shocked, things have developed to such a point, I am afraid that the second prince will not spare him.

"Look, this shopkeeper came early enough."

The crooked shopkeeper followed the direction pointed by the shopkeeper Yao, and saw that not far from the tea ceremony shop, Jing Runxing's shopkeeper Fang walked into Yipinxuan. The crooked mouth shopkeeper was like a mourner, and walked towards Yipinxuan.

The crooked shopkeeper left, and among the guests, he was curious: "What's wrong with him?" ”

Shopkeeper Yao seemed to have no intention, but in fact, he said intentionally: "Yipinxuan not only has no money now, but also owes a sum of money on credit. Maybe there's something wrong with the Leng family's industry! ”

"What?"

"Hahaha...... Don't take it to heart, come on, listen to the story. ”

Shopkeeper Yao looked relaxed, but among these guests, there were many businessmen from Chang'an, who heard the news at this time, how could they still have that leisure, and hurriedly left here.

*************************************

Tianxiang upstairs.

In the private room, Li Yanqi seemed to be in a good mood, and kept looking at Mo Fei and laughing, which made Mo Fei and the second monk confused.

Today, why is it strange everywhere? One is that Li Yanqi is neither early nor late, just waiting for him to return to the academy and then send out an invitation, and now he is still laughing. The other is that Bu San outside looked at him just now, and he was a little more respectful.

Mo Fei looked at Yaya with inquiring eyes, but Yaya's face was expressionless.

Seeing that Mo Fei was extremely awkward, Li Yanqi also knew that his performance was a little abnormal, so he hurriedly restrained his expression, pointed to the food on the table, and said, "Let's eat together." ”

Now that the sun is rising, the steamed buns that Mo Fei and Yaya ate in the morning have long been digested, and now they are hungry and want to eat. But looking at the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table, Mo Fei and Yaya have no appetite.

Li Yanqi looked at him in confusion and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" Don't like these dishes? ”

"Let's order some vegetarian dishes for us, we don't eat meat."

"Don't eat meat?"

Li Yanqi had sent someone to investigate the details of the two before, although he did not investigate carefully, but he knew that these two people were still a beggar in Chang'an years ago, so the dishes they ordered were all delicacies from Tianxianglou. Unexpectedly, the two beggars were still fat and thin when eating, and sure enough, ...... Talented people have some quirks.

Li Yanqi said with a smile: "If I didn't know the identities of the two of you, I would have thought you were from the Empty Mountain." ”

Mo Fei smiled and didn't speak.

Li Yanqi was not reluctant, and ordered Xiao Er to serve a few vegetarian dishes again.

The three of them pushed the cups and drank a few cups, and the vegetarian dishes on the table were eaten.

Li Yanqi saw that the two of them were full of wine and food, and went straight to the topic: "Now, the deal between Zhou Papi and Yipinxuan has been completed, what should we do next?" ”
