Section 21: The Great Hidden Market

Lao Bai is different from everyone, he went to the steamed bun shop first, Zhou Ah recognized him, knew that this was a reliable person, everything was easy to discuss, and the business of pickles and pickles came naturally. Lao Bai has already handed over the pickles and pickles that he brought to everyone to try, and they are packed in small plates, and all diners who enter the store have a small portion. There are many people in the mountains, Lao Bai has made great efforts in making pickles and pickles, it is convenient to eat and can be stored for a long time, his pickles are delicious, crisp and delicious, the color is also beautiful, the taste of pickles is mellow and rich, the color is red and bright, everyone has tasted it and praised it, Lao Bai was very happy to see this, and said: "Then it is accurate, the pickles I make will be sold here for you in the future, the price is set by yourself, and after making money, you will pay three or seven points." ”

Zhou Ah Gong waved his hand again and again and said: "No, no, no, with you here, those gangsters no longer dare to make trouble, and now they are rarely seen on the street, and the people around you praise you well, saying that your work is more effective than the government to eliminate harm for the people." Bai Gongzi, don't you know, these scoundrels rely on their wealth and power, bullying us little people, everyone is bitter and can't say it, you can often come to the county to walk around, that is the blessing of all of us, we don't take a penny from this pickle, we will treat it as a job for the Kyushu hero, and it can be regarded as my Zhou family's kindness to repay the hero. ”

Lao Bai took his hand and said with a smile: "Old man, we Kyushu heroes can say, saving people is saving people, trading is buying and selling, if we treat you like this by saving you by ourselves, and treat you as our own slaves, then is there any difference between us and those scoundrels?" Kyushu heroes can be said, he has the reputation of heroes, saving people is his duty, in addition to his own duties, if there is something else to take, that is greed, you are not for the hero's good, you are inducing the hero to make mistakes! ”

Zhou Ah Gong was dumbfounded for a while: "Huh? How can it still be to induce heroes to make mistakes, it's not so serious! ”

Lao Bai smiled: "Of course it's so serious, these words were taught to me by the hero, you, you are the little boss of a steamed bun shop, where can your knowledge compare to the hero?" If you don't listen to him, people will catch him in the future, saying that it is unfair for him to rely on his skills to do business, and if good things don't go out, bad things will spread thousands of miles, and his reputation will be completely ruined! You see, how scary it is, isn't it? You just obediently listen to the words of the hero and accept the thirty percent of the money! ”

Ah Gong Zhou was speechless, so he had to smile helplessly and sighed: "Okay, then we will trade fairly." ”

Lao Bai has been sitting in the store when he has nothing to do, and when everyone comes back, he doesn't want to disturb other people's business, so he sits in an inconspicuous corner. Zhou Wenlian brought him tea and asked, "Is that Kyushu hero still here today?" ”

Lao Bai said: "Of course it's here!" When he said this, he suddenly raised his head and smiled: "If you see her again today, I'm afraid I won't recognize her?" ”

Zhou Wenlian was stunned: "Why can't you recognize it?" Ah, could it be that she wore back to women's clothes today. ”

Lao Bai choked on a mouthful of water: "How do you know that she is a woman...... When did you see that? ”

Zhou Wenlian said: "I recognized her at first sight, her body shape, skin, demeanor, and demeanor are not like men." I guess she was afraid that it would be inconvenient to walk with you, so she wore men's clothes! ”

Lao Bai pouted and said, "I guessed it all at once, it's not fun at all!" ”

Zhou Wenlian suddenly sat down beside him, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Brother Bai, let me ask you a few things, Kyushu Daxia is her nonsense, what is her surname, what is her name, and how old is she?" ”

Lao Bai said: "Her name is Xiao Wei, I don't know how old she is, and how long we have known each other, I haven't asked, and she hasn't said it." ”

Zhou Wen asked, "Brother Bai, do you know which Xiao is her surname, is it the Xiao of the zodiac?" ”

Lao Bai frowned and said: "Oh, why are you so verbose, why are you asking so clearly, you want to marry a daughter-in-law, do you need to tell you the eight characters of your birthday?" ”

Zhou Wenlian's eyes lit up: "That's better!" ”

"Poof!" Lao Bai vomited a mouthful of blood in his heart: "No, look at your Sven Wen, it's so direct!" Lao Bai turned his mind and smiled: "But little brother, I appreciate you very much, but we Xiao Nuxia can't use ordinary methods to choose a husband, you have to win her favor yourself, and if she likes you, you can marry her!" ”

"Hey, hey! With personality, I really like her more and more! Zhou Wenlian smiled even more cheerfully.

"Wow, you're smiling like a thief!" Lao Bai was stupid. He originally wanted him to retreat from the difficulties, but who knew that the more difficult he was, the braver he became? "I think it's better to forget it!" Lao Bai thought of Mei Yuexue, and couldn't help but shake his head and eat peanuts, he thought in his heart: "Miss Xiao and the master of the village are not clear, don't let him get involved in this matter!" Zhou Wenlian saw that he had something on his mind, so he asked: "What, Brother Bai, do you know anything else?" ”

Lao Bai shouted: "Oh, I don't know, don't ask me again, anyway, if you want to marry Miss Xiao, you can figure it out yourself, I don't know anything, and I didn't say anything today." ”

Zhou Wenlian smiled: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Come, drink, I'll pour it for you. He poured a glass of wine for Lao Bai and walked away, just at this time someone came in, Zhou Wenlian saw that the other party was wearing a silk dress, wearing a jade wrench on his hand, and he was covered with jewels, and hurriedly greeted him: "Yo, master, what kind of wind blew you here?" You are seated, what would you like to eat? The old man sat down at a table and looked up and said, "Young man, I'm not here to eat, I'm here to inquire with you." The other day, there was a man who did something bad in your house and was lectured, I want to know, who is the person who taught him, do you remember? ”

Zhou Wen paused for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Master Ke, may I ask what is the relationship between you and the person who was taught?" ”

The old man said, "I am his father." ”

Lao Bai felt stunned in the corner, he didn't know how to solve this matter, seeing Zhou Wenlian standing there with a calm expression, he quietly watched how he responded.

I saw Zhou Wenlian continue to smile and say: "I see, I won't tell you, you came just in time today, and that girl will come in a while." ”

The old man was shocked: "Huh? Girl? ”

Zhou Wenlian said: "It's indeed a girl, she was a woman dressed as a man that day." ”

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he almost cried, and said with a touched look on his face: "Little Er, is she really here today?" That's really great, I must see her today, I want to thank her, and one more thing to ask her, I know that the brute in my family made trouble with you last time, and I will compensate you on his behalf, but this time you have to help me, I will give you as much money as you want, but the second half of my son's life depends on Miss Xiao! ”

Lao Bai in the corner choked on the water again: "What does this mean!" ”

Zhou Wenlian was also stunned, and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth with great difficulty: "What, is it Ling Lang...... Want to marry that girl? ”

The old man was startled, quickly stood up, shook his head like a rattle, and said, "No, no, no...... Can't! Where do we ordinary people dare to think like this? He said "don't dare" and said it very honestly, Zhou Wenlian could see that he really didn't dare, and secretly laughed in his heart: "Also, who dares to marry her, and if she marries home, she can't tear down her home?" It's her blessing that she can meet me, otherwise she will definitely not be able to marry for the rest of her life! Jackal and tiger and leopard, we are a natural pair! ”

Zhou Wenlian couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, the old man couldn't help but ask when he saw his strange look, Zhou Wenlian quickly retracted his mind and asked, "Oh, it's okay!" You go on, what the hell is going on with you? ”

The old man said: "Oh, I want to ask Miss Xiao to be my son's teacher, teach him to practice martial arts, and strengthen his body." Hey, you don't know, he went home to recuperate and then yelled for me to help him invite Mr., he said he wanted to study, I thought he was crazy, asked for a long time to know that it was the girl who pointed her out, I was old enough to discipline the son to have today's disaster, the family is unfortunate to get this unfilial son, thanks to that girl, otherwise my family will be defeated in the hands of this unfilial son, I thought that the unfilial son was like this in this life, I was old, I can't control him, he is not afraid that I will not listen to me, fortunately there is that girl, It was she who saved our family, she is a noble person in my son's life, I invited a teacher to teach him to read at home, but I still asked Miss Xiao to be a teacher too, because my unfilial son is afraid of her and listens to her. The old man's face was full of anxiety, and he began to cry as he spoke

Ah Gong Zhou and his wife have come over a long time ago, and when they heard him talk about this, their hearts were sour. Zhou Ah Gong said: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, don't worry, we will do our best to promote this matter." ”

Zhou Ah Gong comforted him again, poured him tea, and asked him to wait in the store.

Lao Bai beckoned to Zhou Wenlian and called him over, Zhou Wenlian smiled and shouted: "Yo, what do you have to tell this guest officer?" Lao Bai smiled: "Speak well." I was scared just now, how dare you tell the truth at that time, fortunately, people are here to invite our Kyushu heroes to be teachers, if you come to seek revenge, you are not afraid that people will smash your store? ”

Zhou Wenlian smiled: "Come to the store and bring two old bones?" There is no strong man outside, only a carriage, so many people, as if they are here to find fault, not to mention that you look at the old man, with a sad face, a thin body, not a snarky look, even if he is wearing a silk satin, his demeanor is very humble, he should be an honest businessman, a diligent man, he must have suffered a lot when he was young, he has no great ability, and he is cautious and cringe, such a person depends on his life to make a fortune. ”

"It's the same as the truth, do you know how to tell a fortune?" Lao Bai was skeptical.

Zhou Wenlian smiled proudly: "It's not a fortune telling, it's a look at people's behavior, words and reasoning." ”

"Hey, you seem to be quite capable!"

"'The small faint mausoleum, the big faint towards the city' I am the master who is hidden in the city."

Lao Bai couldn't understand it anymore, he pursed his lips and ridiculed Zhou Wenlian and said: "What are you pretending to be, don't talk about people." Let me tell you, Miss Xiao doesn't like people who recognize a few words and chew on words without saying human words. ”

Zhou Wenlian said confidently: "You don't understand, that's your problem, Miss Xiao is not an ordinary woman, she will definitely understand my words." ”
