Chapter 18: I Changed My Mind
Ma Zhongyong was still in a daze, and everyone had already saluted, "I've seen Mr. Feng Er." ”
The old man who came was called Feng Buping, he was the second elder of the Feng family, his strength was only inferior to the head of the family and the great elder, he was at the peak of the open pulse realm, and he was only one step away from breaking the realm. The Feng family, on the other hand, is one of the three major families in Goose City, with deep roots and a dominant side, which is by no means something that Ma Zhongyong and his ilk can compete with.
Hearing the greeting, Ma Zhongyong relieved himself and saluted.
He wondered, this kind of ghost weather, ordinary people are reluctant to go out, with the identity and Taoism of the wind uneven, why does this old man need to drink the pulse soup, right?
The wind was uneven, he walked forward with his cane, his feet stepped on the stagnant water, and his own servant held an umbrella for him behind him, and walked to the center of the field. He glanced at everyone, and his gaze fell back on Ma Zhongyong, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a superb cold glow.
"What are you, dare to come here to spread wild!"
Ma Zhongyong bent over, uneasy in his heart. Not only Hanzheng Street, but the entire nearby urban area is the Feng family's sphere of influence, although he just wants to bully Wu Bencao and has no intention of offending the Feng family, but after all, it is under the nose of the other party.
He cleared his throat and replied in a low voice, "Mr. Two has misunderstood. I have no intention of causing trouble, I came here today to drink soup, but this kid's shop is a big bully, no one is in his eyes, and he deliberately makes things difficult for me, so I plan to teach him a lesson. ”
He thought to himself, Wu Bencao is not related to the Feng family, as long as he lowers his posture and satisfies Feng Buping, the old man can't get along with himself for the sake of a poor young man, so he turns a blind eye and sends him away.
However, things are not as simple as he thinks.
The wind was unmoved, and said in a cold voice: "I was in the distant teahouse just now, you showed off your power on the street, and bullied Boss Wu, do you think I am deaf and blind? Even if you are Huang Shilang's dog, you have to clamp your tail here!"
In terms of status and status, Ma Zhongyong can only be regarded as upper-middle class in Goose City. As Feng Buping said, the reason why he was able to get along with the wind and water was by clinging to the Huang family, one of the three major families, and acting as the latter's lackey.
The three major families of Goose City are in a strong trend, playing power games, dividing a large number of interests, and the relationship between them is very delicate and imminent. Therefore, it is normal for the people of the Feng family not to wait to see the Huang family's dog.
Ma Zhongyong's face turned pale, and he straightened his waist. He is afraid of the wind that is strong in cultivation, but he is not an ant to be trampled on, with the support of Master Huang behind him, there is no need for him to keep his voice down and endure endless humiliation.
"Mr. Er, what do you want? It's true that this is the territory of the Feng family, but this is the grudge between me and the wormwood bar, and it has nothing to do with the Feng family, so you can't help but be too lenient!"
As the party concerned, Wu Bencao stood at the door at this time, quietly watching them confront, and had no desire to interject. He was also curious, and he didn't know what the wind was trying to do when he suddenly arrived.
If in normal times, people come and go on Hanzheng Street, and the wind is uneven and you happen to pass by here, and you happen to bump into this scene, it is also reasonable. But now the autumn rain is bitter cold, there are almost no pedestrians on the road, and the soy sauce is passing by, isn't this a.
His intuition told him that it wasn't easy to do it.
The wind was uneven and poked the ground with a cane, and his deep voice passed through the wind and rain, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
"Boss Wu's cooking skills are exquisite, and he is a fledgling, so he is known as Zhengoose City, attracting everyone to come and patronize, which is a good thing. However, it cannot be ruled out that some people are jealous of his talent and deliberately pick quarrels and provoke trouble, trying to smash his signboard. ”
Some of the people in these words naturally refer to Ma Zhongyong.
He glanced at Ma Zhongyong and continued: "The so-called wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Some people are not good at what they can't do, and they can't refine a better Kaimai Pill, so they want to play despicable tricks, and they don't stare at the dog's eyes to see which wind is blowing on Hanzheng Street!"
His voice was so loud that everyone was shocked when they heard it.
Who doesn't know that the local Kaimai Dan business is monopolized by Huang Shilang, and one is dominant, and even the other two can't get in.
Once the trade of Wu Bencao's Kaimai soup grows bigger, the Huang family will inevitably suffer a heavy blow and lose this piece of fat.
After being broken by the uneven wind, everyone woke up to the fact that Ma Zhongyong's troubles were not accidental, but came forward for the master behind him to suppress Wu Bencao, who had just emerged.
Even if Wu Bencao let this group of bodyguards into the house and did not stop them, there would still be conflicts later.
They're here to smash the field.
Seeing that his intentions were exposed, Ma Zhongyong's face changed, his eyes widened and he quibbled: "Blood spews people, there is no evidence, how can you smear people's innocence out of thin air like this!"
"Evidence?" Feng Buping sneered and said disdainfully: "Everyone present has seen it with their own eyes, you want to beat Boss Wu, and you still need me to provide evidence? If you want to prove your innocence, it's very simple, you apologize to Boss Wu, and then get out of Hanzheng Street!"
With that, he turned to Wu Bencao and nodded, with a gentle smile on his face.
Wu Bencao responded, secretly surprised, nothing to do, either treacherous or thief, this old man took the initiative to show favor to himself, which was completely different from the fierce momentum of the last second, is there a plan?
"Let me go, why?"
Ma Zhongyong was an old Jianghu in the end, quickly stabilized his mind, and retorted: "This is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, not the back garden of your Feng family! Boss Wu opens the door to do business and treats customers equally, as long as I pay according to the price and do not violate the royal law, who dares to treat me?"
The matter has come to this, the Feng family sent someone to calm the scene, and it is impossible for him to make trouble anymore. For the sake of now, he can only give up the plan and solve the problem of opening his own pulse first, which is the most important thing.
He walked up to Wu Bencao and slammed it to the ground, "Boss Wu, just now I was excited and didn't choose what to say, I apologize to you, please Haihan." I came from the soup sincerely, and I was by no means as slandered by others, without any malice. ”
He was able to bend and stretch, and he was afraid that Wu Bencao would refuse to sell soup, so he quickly pretended to be sincere. When he said this, he swore in his heart that it wouldn't be long before he would let Wu Bencao live as well as die, and wash away today's shame with snow!
Wu Bencao didn't help him and said, "You don't need to apologize, for me, it doesn't matter." You're right, I open the door to do business and collect money according to the price, this is the normal rule. ”
In front of everyone, he was unfazed, and no emotion could be heard in his words, as if the person who was bullied just now was not him.
"But now, I've changed my mind. ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused ripples in everyone's hearts.
Did this young man change his mind? Didn't he appreciate it and resolutely refused to sell it to Ma Zhongyong? If so, it would be understandable.
Wu Bencao stretched out his hand, picked at the sludge on the door panel, and said casually: "I opened the store, and I have the final say." In this way, I will give you two choices, either pay ten times the price and buy a bowl of soup, or give up drinking soup, and have nothing to do with martial arts in this life. ”
As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar.
Ten times the price, that is, a full sixty yuan stones!
The original price of the soup of hope was six yuan, but Wang Xiang and others complained that it was a black shop, and they felt distressed for a while, not to mention sixty yuan. This is no longer a price increase, but a naked robbery.
Wu Bencao's lips moved, and the price immediately increased tenfold, clearly to return the humiliation he had just suffered tenfold.
Apologize? If the apology is useful, what else do you want Wang Fa to do!
