"Duel? Isn't it just a fight...... OK! I accept! ”

Liu Zhongwen looked at the drunken man squirming on the ground, pursed his lips contemptuously and said, then looked at the interpreter who was a little dumbfounded, "You tell him that I will live in the 'Fat Wind Pavilion', and tomorrow afternoon, I will wait for him to duel!" ”

After a pause, he added, "Remember, my name is Liu Zhongwen, Dengzhou Liu Zhongwen." ”

After speaking, he didn't look at the Westerners on the ground, and followed Chu Fan into the arranged water pavilion.

He and the four guards did not enter the main room, but roamed around the main room - because they tied up Miss Yan, they are now very worried about Chen Xinji's sneak attack, especially after leaving the "Fat Wind Pavilion", they should be even more careful.

After the interpreter had finished translating to the drunkard, he hurried in, and after a while, the clever turtle man came out respectfully, spread his short legs, and hurried to find the shopkeeper of the "Flower Room".

Not long after, a widow who looked to be in his fifties and had a gloomy face appeared in Liu Zhongwen's field of vision.

Although the kimono on his body looked ordinary, he was meticulously dressed, with small white sleeves on his upper body, an indigo yukata on his lower body, and snow-white foot bags on his feet, stepping on clogs.

As soon as this widow appeared in Liu Zhongwen's field of vision, the second son immediately felt the hairs on his back stand up - this is a practitioner! And the martial arts are quite high!

At the same time, there was a feeling of extreme coldness, as if a poisonous snake was slowly swimming over.

When the widow walked up to Liu Zhongwen, the second son's whole body was tense, and when he saw that he had a just right smile on his face, and bowed slightly to himself, Liu Zhongwen relaxed a little and bowed his hand perfunctorily in return.

It wasn't until his short and sharp back disappeared into the door that Liu Zhongwen secretly let out a sigh of relief—the sense of coercion brought by the master was finally over.

"Below is the shopkeeper of this flower house, Abe Tadamoto, and I can see His Excellency the Upper Kingdom, how fortunate it is!" An interpreter could be heard through the door.

Liu Zhongwen felt the kind of coercion that Abe Zhongben felt when he faced it, but Chu Fan didn't feel it at all, he was kneeling on the tatami mat at the moment, looking at the calm and thoughtful Abe shopkeeper with great interest, and calmly introduced himself, "Xiaosheng Chu Fan, the word is also immortal, a student member of Penglai County, Dengzhou, and he has seen the shopkeeper of Abe. ”

The next greeting alone took about ten minutes - not to mention that the number of etiquette of the Japanese people was so complicated that it was outrageous, the two greeted each other's monarchs, then the parents of both sides, then the grandparents of both sides, and finally the children of both sides, well, of course this Chu Fan is not yet.

"I heard that the Hanamakan is the most prosperous brothel in Nagasaki," the greetings were over, and Chu Fan cut to the chase, "I wonder if the shopkeeper of Abe has any experience on how to retain his benefactors?" ”

Abe Zhongben's eyebrows mixed with a few white hairs were imperceptibly raised, he didn't understand why Chu Fan asked this, so he replied cautiously, "I have been running this flower pavilion for seven years, and the number of red men in the museum is hundreds...... I wonder why Your Excellency taught me? ”

He had a bone in his mouth when he said this - Lao Tzu has been running a brothel for seven years, how can he keep his benefactor and ask you, a hairy boy, to teach?

Regarding his provocation, Chu Fan naturally didn't care, smiled slightly, took out the wooden box containing tobacco and put it on the table, and gently pushed it to Abe Zhong himself, "Where there is a thing, after using it, it is refreshing, healthy and clear, and has the effect of helping the house to cheer, it can be described as a god-given fairy grass...... Whoever first arrived in Nagasaki and wanted to choose a brothel to operate this fairy grass, I don't know what the shopkeeper of Abe wants? ”

Hearing Chu Fan's miraculous words, Abe Zhongben couldn't help but be curious, slowly opened the beautifully bound wooden box, carefully observed the neatly stacked paper cigarettes, and asked for a long time, "Don't dare to ask Your Excellency, how can this thing be used?" ”

Chu Fan had already prepared, took out another wooden box and opened it, and took out a flue, "Rong Fan demonstrates." ”

I saw him put the cigarette in his mouth, and Chen Shangren next to him had already lit a fire fold for him, and after spewing out a puff of green smoke, the air was immediately filled with a faint smell of tobacco - of course, Chu Fan's box of cigarettes was not added.

Abe Zhongben also lit one according to Chu Fan's appearance, and after taking a sip, he suddenly disagreed in his heart - isn't this just ordinary tobacco, well, it's still a little different, and it has a weird taste.

Out of curiosity, he still asked, "Your Excellency, what is the price of this item?" ”

"This is a hardcover, and the price can be marked at five taels of silver, and the account is divided with the shopkeeper of Abe." Chu Fan said lightly - there are a total of 200 cigarettes in the wooden box, and the wholesale price set by Chu Fan is 2 taels of silver, and now it has been raised to 2 taels and 5 yuan, which is to pave the way for the subsequent negotiations.

When Tadashi Abe heard the price, an angry expression flashed on his face.

This is simply a robbery!

Tobacco Nagasaki has been around for a long time, and at its most expensive, it was seventy or eighty dollars a pound; This cigarette roll is nothing more than dividing the tobacco into sticks, and a box of cigarettes is not worth 5 taels of silver no matter how much you count - how many such cigarettes can a pound of tobacco be divided into!

If it weren't for the fact that Chu Fan was a talent in the Ming Kingdom, Abe Zhongben was afraid that he would leave on the spot.

"Abe shopkeeper, this fairy grass is the first to appear in Nagasaki, and if everyone wants to know it, it will take a lot of effort...... If the shopkeeper of Abe is interested, if he allocates ten boxes first, the shopkeeper can let the red man serve the benefactor for trial, and after three or five days, it will have a miraculous effect...... Even if Abe's shopkeeper is unintentional, it doesn't matter, this box of fairy grass power should be a little bit of a heart when he first arrives in Guibaodi. Chu Fan continued unhurriedly.

"So, Your Excellency wants to find other brothels?" Abe Tadashi immediately heard the meaning of Chu Fan's words.

Chu Fan nodded, "Exactly!" God gives this fairy grass to everyone, who dares to make the pearl dusty, it must be made to flow to the world is the right way. ”

Hearing him say so determined, and ambitious, Abe Tadashi couldn't help but hesitate for a moment - could it be that this cigarette is really so magical?

However, the pride of the owner of the largest brothel in Nagasaki finally made him make up his mind to refuse, put away the wooden box and held it in his hand, he bowed heavily to Chu Fan and said, "It is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and I am loyal to my lord and thank you for your generous gift." ”

Then he turned his head and gave a croaking order to the clever turtle man, who kept bowing and answering, "Hello! Hail! ”

Chu Fan saw that the interpreter still had to translate, so he stretched out his hand to stop him - he could guess what Abe Tadashi meant, it was nothing more than to entertain himself for free.

Standing up, Chu Fan dusted off his brocade robe, and after confessing a few words to Abe Zhongben, he took Yan Ruxue and Chen Shangren Shi Ran out of the door.

Although he was stunned, Chu Fan still had a faint smile on his face - he could think with his toes how he would come to him with tears in his eyes when Abe Tadamoto finished smoking this box of cigarettes.

Spare you like a ghost, and you have to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water!
