Chapter 17: A chance encounter in the Drunken Immortal Building
The hour is approaching dusk, and the sun has not yet dissipated on the horizon, but the pedestrians on the street have returned home one after another like tired birds.
When Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu rushed to the Zuixian Building on Chengdong Street, Zhu Pengchun was already waiting at the door of the store early. Seeing the arrival of the two, he didn't say too much to greet, and led the two directly into a large box on the second floor of the drunken immortal building.
As soon as he entered the big box, Zhu Pengchun hurriedly found his seat and quickly picked up the chopsticks and began to eat vegetables, reincarnated as a starving ghost, muttering while chewing meat and drinking wine: "Team leader, they are here, woo... Woo... It's delicious, but I'm starving to death, but fortunately I didn't let you finish it. ”
Pang Feihu glanced at Zhu Pengchun, who was as greasy as gluttony, and hurriedly beckoned Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu to sit down one after another and prepare to eat.
After Guo Ye sat down, he glanced at the few people in the box, in addition to the squad leader Pang Feihu, the fat and thin head Zhu Pengchun and Gan Zhushou, there were two unfamiliar new faces. One is about forty years old, and the other is also in his early twenties, and he looks like he is a member of the government, but Guo Ye has never seen it.
Under Pang Feihu's brief introduction, Guo Ye learned that these two people were also officials of the soap class, one was named Zhang Xiaoqi and the other was Ruan Laosan, who were recently responsible for the grain collection and taxation of Dongliu Township and Lizhuang Township under the jurisdiction of Longxi County.
Because the two of them completed the task of urging grain and collecting taxes in the two townships yesterday, they returned to the county government in advance to report on their work.
Over the years, this matter of going to the countryside to urge grain and taxation has been the most troublesome thing in the soap class, but I didn't expect Zhang Xiaoqi and Ruan Laosan to be able to complete their tasks in advance, Pang Feihu was in a very good mood. That's why there is this meal in Drunken Immortal Building today.
One is to celebrate the completion of the task of the two, and the other is to introduce Guo Ye and Zhang Xiaoqi to each other.
As for the third reason, that is, he has other plans in his heart, but it is also for Guo Ye, this kid, who has only been on an errand in the soap class for a few days, but he is experienced in his work and loves his job, which really makes Pang Feihu love him.
Guo Ye took advantage of Pang Feihu's dinner to introduce himself and get to know Zhang Xiaoqi and Ruan Laosan again.
Next, everyone is staggered, in addition to eating and drinking, if you don't eat and drink, it is estimated that a table full of wine and food will be wiped out by Zhu Pengchun, a starving ghost.
Besides, although the soap class is responsible for urging grain and taxation, it seems that there is a lot of oil and water, but in fact, it can't make any extra money at all, and it can't be compared with the fishing class, the income of the soap class is not high, and all they get is a few months of silver, one or two halves when there is more, and less than one or two when they are less.
Therefore, Pang Feihu was able to spend money to invite everyone to a meal in Zuixianlou, which could be regarded as a tooth sacrifice and food for the brothers, if he didn't eat more at this time, he would be stupid.
After a while, the wind swept away, and the entire dinner table was stacked with empty plates, and in addition to a plate of sparse peanuts, there were chicken bones left on the table.
In Guo Ye's words, where is this civil servant, this is simply a devil who is reincarnated by a starving ghost entering the village.
Rao him and Pang Feihu were a little reserved, but they only ate half full.
Belch......
Zhu Pengchun burped, picked his teeth with chopsticks, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really comfortable to eat, our team is really bright." Our soap brothers can stand up to such a boss as Pang Bantou, which is a blessing that the brothers cultivated in their last life. ”
Everyone looked at Zhu Pengchun with contempt, but they were noncommittal about his words.
Pang Feihu, the head of the team, really has nothing to say.
Guo Ye sat beside Pang Feihu, raised his glass and said to him: "Team leader, thank you for taking care of me these days. ”
Pang Feihu laughed, raised his glass to Guo Ye, poured it in one gulp, and then said, "It's tacit." Guo Ye, you are a good material, work hard. ”
Guo Ye listened to Pang Feihu's words, his heart was warm, and he just wanted to say a few more sensational words to Pang Feihu, but suddenly-
There was a noisy sound of colliding with each other from the private room next door, which made Guo Ye and the others noisy and their scalps numb.
"Haha, the roast chicken in the entire Longxi County is the most authentic, well, delicious!"
"That's not it, you kid thinks that the drunken fairy building is a tattered old thing on the street? I can't get this meal without half a tael of silver. ”
"Liu Er is right, but his subordinates think that they can do things under our Qin Catcher, so it is called a blessing, everyone says yes, right?"
"Yes, yes......"
For a while, the flattery of the whiskers and horses came and went, and the noise could be heard on the second floor of the entire Drunken Immortal Building.
The faces of the people in the box on Guo Ye's side instantly fell, because of the movement and words coming from next door, they knew what these people next door were doing with their toes.
Qin catches heads?
Isn't it just the head of the squad catcher, Qin Wei and several of his henchmen?
Guo Ye secretly sighed in his heart, it was really bad for Tai Sui, and he could still meet Qin Wei, the bastard, after a meal, or two next door.
However, Pang Feihu didn't think like this, but a smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Sure enough, there is no mistake, at this time of every month, Qin Wei will definitely eat here with his subordinates." ”
Belch? Guo Ye, who heard Pang Feihu muttering to himself, couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that the team came to Drunken Immortal Tower to eat today just to wait for Qin Wei?
Without waiting for him to think it through, Pang Feihu had already pulled Guo Ye up and said: "Let's go, while Qin Wei is eating in the Drunken Immortal Building, I will show this old face to make peace for you, and in the future, I will do things in the same yamen, and I will not look up and look down. ”
Not only Guo Ye, but even Zhu Pengchun, Cheng Erniu, Zhang Xiaoqi and others suddenly lost their color, it turned out that Pang Bantou still had this thought.
Everyone couldn't help but have a trace of envy in their eyes when they looked at Guo Ye, it seemed that Pang Bantou was not an ordinary weapon for Guo Ye.
Only Zhu Pengchun was secretly happy in his heart, and couldn't help shouting, Lao Tzu knows the inside story, Lao Tzu knows that Brother Guo is not simple, hehe, there is a county lieutenant behind......
Guo Ye squirmed his lips, and he didn't know what to say in his heart.
Pang Feihu actually cared about Ruosi, too, he always had Qin Wei's guillotine hanging on his head, and he had a pimple in his heart for what he was doing, and he was embarrassed.
So under the pull of Pang Feihu, he walked out of the box and walked towards the box next door to Qin Wei and the others.
Squeak......
As soon as Pang Feihu entered Qin Wei's box, it was obvious that Qin Wei was sitting lazily on a chair and drinking a little wine and nibbling on a big chicken leg with his three or five henchmen.
The moment the door opened, Qin Wei also discovered the arrival of Pang Feihu and Guo Ye, two uninvited guests.
The two of them broke in suddenly, which really surprised Qin Wei and several minions.
The fishing class and the soap class have always been at odds, this is not a great secret in the county office, Qin Wei, the head of the fishing class, is trusted by the county Weigu lord, arrogant and domineering, and Pang Feihu, the head of the soap class, has a problem in his heart, which is also a well-known thing.
Today, Pang Feihu came uninvited, and Qin Wei and a few of his subordinates were really a little confused.
Especially with Guo Ye behind him, a little servant that Qin Wei didn't want to see.
Immediately, Qin Wei threw the half-gnawed chicken leg in his hand on the table, and snorted strangely: "Yo, Pang Bantou is really a rare guest, you can actually see Pang Bantou in a place like Zuixianlou, tsk, when will your soap class be rich enough to be able to go to the restaurant at any time, long insight, haha, long insight." ”
As soon as these words came out, Pang Feihu's expression froze instantly, and his face, which was still a little smiling, changed abruptly, and he was really embarrassed by the mixture of blue and red.
Qin Wei ridiculed the poverty and poverty of the soap class so nakedly, how happy could Pang Feihu, as the head of the class, be.
However, he knew that he was here today for Guo Ye's business, and he couldn't get angry easily, so he suppressed the indignation in his heart and reluctantly smiled: "Let Qin Zhutou laugh, my brothers and I were eating next door when we heard the sound here, dare to be so coincidental, it turns out that Qin Zhutou is also eating here." ”
Qin Wei couldn't help but feel strange when he saw Pang Feihu's face still being impermanent under his own ridicule.
So he casually snorted, but shifted his eyes to Guo Ye, who was following Pang Feihu.
The eyes are gloomy like vultures foraging for food, and their eyes are gloomy and vicious.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the box fell into embarrassment.
Seeing this, Pang Feihu chuckled and said: "Brother came over today, first, I want to invite Qin Zhutou and a few brothers from the fishing class to have a meal, and second, hehe, I want to be a peacemaker, and help me, a subordinate who is not angry, to make peace, I hope that Qin Zhutou will look at Pang's thin face, and the adults will not care about the villain, and the net will be open, and don't worry about Guo Ye's kid anymore." ”
Belch?
This time it was Qin Wei's turn to be stunned, he didn't expect that Pang Feihu, who had never liked to mess with people, would intercede for a little servant, which was a bit interesting.
It's a pity that with just a few words from him, he can let go of Guo Ye, a bastard? It's a dream.
Let's go!
Qin Wei threw the wine bowl in his hand on the table, plucked out his right ear with his hand, and asked a catcher next to him, "Liu Er, Lao Tzu heard me right, right?" Pang Bantou wants to invite us to catch the class for dinner, haha, he wants to invite us to catch the class for dinner in the Zuixian Building. Ha ha...... You, go and call the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building. ”
Several of the officials present laughed when they saw Qin Zhutou, and they also laughed in agreement, looking at Pang Feihu and Guo Ye with contemptuous eyes from time to time.
After Liu Er heard Qin Wei's order, he immediately left the box and went out to call the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building.
Listening to Qin Wei's words that are neither yin nor yang and leave no room for harm, Pang Feihu's face has become ugly and ugly, and it is difficult to see that Guo Ye is crying blood in his heart.
I saw Guo Ye clenching his fists tightly, trembling a little all over, Qin Wei, this dog thing is really too deceitful, and he is also the head of the team, and he actually ridiculed his boss so much.
But he didn't get angry immediately, because he knew that the reason why Pang Feihu endured the humiliation so much was nothing more than to help him make peace, if he was impulsive now, then Pang Bantou would really give up his previous efforts.
Now in addition to patience, he only has hatred, hating his meager strength and not being able to resist, hating Qin Wei's deception is too much in his eyes.
After a while, the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building was called up by Liu Er, and followed Liu Er into the private room.
Guo Ye glanced at him roughly, he was a weak old man in his sixties. If he remembers well, the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building is surnamed Xue.
Shopkeeper Xue nodded at Guo Ye and Pang Feihu, then walked up to Qin Wei and asked, "Qin catches the head, I don't know what to order?" ”
Qin Wei glanced at Shopkeeper Xue, didn't look at him squarely, but grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth one after another, and then asked with a snort: "Shopkeeper Xue, you tell Pang Bantou, let's catch a brother to eat in your drunken immortal building, how much money does a meal cost?" ”
