Chapter 13 The richest man should pay on credit
Jiang Zhengxin was really a little hungry, and he didn't mention going to eat not because he was shy and cowardly, but because he was used to gold and jade on weekdays, and he was not satisfied with any restaurant on the side of the road along the way. Being in southern Sichuan and far less than the number of restaurants and tea shops in the capital, I finally met a large store that looked fairly clean, so I couldn't wait to walk in.
This made Wei Yue feel slightly guilty, he was a person who practiced martial arts, his internal strength was strong and his body was strong, even if he didn't drink or eat for several days, he wouldn't feel hungry, and he forgot for a moment that Jiang Zhengxin was a girl, and he always had to eat and rest to maintain his strength, so he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, and followed Jiang Zhengxin into the restaurant.
The second child in the store was a young and clever young man, who greeted Jiang Zhengxin enthusiastically as soon as he caught a glimpse of him walking into the store, and his slippery eyes quickly swept over her, and he guessed that this little girl was a rich man. Not to mention anything else, just to say that the several round and colorful Nanzhu on her body are bigger and rarer than those of ordinary rich families. Besides, the average rich lady and lady who got a lot of Nanzhu will wear it between the temples that are most easily seen, and the several Nanzhu on this little girl's body are all embroidered on the brocade shoes, and she doesn't care about the dust and damage between walking, which shows that she is an extremely rich and arrogant wealthy lady.
Xiao Er is secretly happy, and he should make a lot of money today!
He looked up at the tall man standing behind the little girl, first shocked, admiring the amazing face, and then stunned, surprised by the unique deep purple eyes. However, he has been in this Golden Scale City for a long time, and he has seen a lot of strange heroes from all walks of life, and he knows that if he wants to do a good business, he depends on a smiling face and a clever mouth, otherwise he will inadvertently annoy any chivalrous man, and he will easily become someone's knife. So he didn't say much, smiled and led Jiang Zhengxin and them into the private room on the left side of the first floor, and hung the bamboo curtain casually.
After the two of them sat down, Xiao Er stood aside and tried his best to recommend high-priced dishes, Jiang Zhengxin seemed to be listening, but as if he wasn't listening, his slender jade fingers nodded on the recipe, and whispered, "This...... And this ......"
Xiao Er was disappointed when he saw the two dishes pointed out by Jiang Zhengxin, they were the cheapest, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to earn any silver taels.
After a while, Jiang Zhengxin raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't want these two dishes with mushrooms and green peppers, let's have a copy of the rest." ”
The most beautiful words are this, "all have a copy" made Xiao Er show a happy look, but he was not bad-hearted and reminded kindly: "I'm afraid you can't finish eating so many dishes, so it's better for the girl to go to a few." ”
"It's okay, I don't know which dish is my appetite, you can serve it all."
"Okay." Xiao Er smiled and nodded.
He felt that this little girl's voice was as good as broken jade, and the way she ordered food was really useful, and the smile on her face was unconsciously a little sincere.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhengxin thought of something and asked Yu Yue: "Xiao Yue, are you drinking?" ”
Wei Yue's eyebrows raised slightly, does she want to have wine? Should I drink with her? Or do you persuade her not to drink it either? ……
After thinking about it for a long time, he still replied honestly: "I don't like to drink, just drink tea." ”
"Okay, a pot of Hantan incense." Jiang Zhengxin said to Xiao Er.
"Girl, we have a small place, and we don't have such a precious wine, can I bring you a pot of bamboo leaves? It's also good to have a crisp and refreshing taste. ”
Jiang Zhengxin said very well: "Okay." Then he turned his head and asked Xiao Tao, "Boss, is one pot enough?" ”
At this time, Yue Yue and Xiao Er knew that the wine was ordered for the little monkey.
Xiao Tao closed her eyes and nodded with some regret, as if to say: When you go out, drink less, it's okay.
Jiang Zhengxin immediately said to Xiao Er: "Then let's have a pot." ”
"Okay girl, the total amount you ordered is fifty taels and four dollars, and we will serve the food immediately after paying the silver."
Jiang Zhengxin hurriedly waved his hand to stop Yu Yue, who was about to take out the silver, I have money, I am very rich, I must pay this money, you must not rob me with a decisive look, and then turned his head and said to Xiao Er crisply: "On credit." ”
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Girl, our store ...... No credit. ”
Jiang Zhengxin's eyes crossed a trace of cute cunning, and he forced a smile and said, "You stretch out your hand." ”
Xiao Er stretched out his rough hands blankly, only to see Jiang Zhengxin take out a small square gold seal from his waist, soften the red mud on it, and then cover his hand, and when the gold seal was picked up, a complicated family emblem was left between the palms.
Xiao Er turned his hand, stared, carefully identifying the pattern on the seal, confused.
"Little second brother, if you take it to any Jiang family's shop, you will definitely be able to ask for my meal today, oh, by the way, you remember to ask for two more rooms, and we will stay for one night today."
"The Jiang family? Are you talking about the Jiang family in the capital? The Jiang family, who is rich enough to rival the country? Xiao Er's mouth was a little closed, no wonder this little girl looked so rich, it turned out that she could have something to do with the Jiang family.
Jiang Zhengxin nodded: "You can go to any of them to try, or if you come back to us, this son will pay you." ”
Xiao Er hurriedly agreed: "Okay, there's one next door, I'll try it." ”
"Wait a minute, don't say I'm here, just say that the previous guest left behind and is gone." Jiang Zhengxin instructed.
Xiao Er nodded and ran out in a puff of smoke.
Seeing the puzzled gaze cast by Wei Yue, Jiang Zhengxin smiled and explained: "I ordered this table of dishes, there is no reason for you to pay, I don't like to bring money when I go out, it is more convenient to bring a seal." ”
The brothers and sisters of the Jiang family are very lazy, and they don't like to bring money when they go out on weekdays, so they think of a lazy way. Fortunately, the Jiang family's shops are all over the place, and this method can work even in the country, so they have no fear, and they only carry a seal with them when they go out. But both of them are also the masters of spending money, even if the bearer of the seal asks for more money behind his back, but they believe that people are more good than evil, and there are not so many cunning and greedy people. Besides, even if you are asked for more, you can't afford it, after all, you still have to bother people to run an extra trip.
Yu Yue's afterglow swept to the bulging money bag on Jiang Zhengxin's body, and asked, "In this case, why do you still have a money bag on your body?" ”
"Yunxi blames me for not bringing money, so I embroidered this purse for me to wear, I know that she is afraid that I will be in a hurry when I use money, and I will not be able to brush off her kindness, so I secretly used it to fill candy."
As she spoke, she opened her purse, and there were dozens of round, shiny, different colors, and different flavors of candy lying inside.
Wei Yue smiled, no wonder she always had a faint sweet fragrance on her body, she was really a child's temperament.
Jiang Zhengxin smiled and handed the purse to Yue Yue: "Nuo, you taste it, what flavor do you like?" Sweet osmanthus? Peach? Or is it milk? ”
Saying that the purse has been stretched out in front of Wei Yue, Wei Yue is not easy to refuse, so he used his well-proportioned and slender fingers to pull a piece of osmanthus candy and put it in his mouth, the warm tongue cavity dissolved the sugar grains, and the sweet taste between his lips and teeth brought up good memories in his heart, the last time he ate sugar was a long, long time ago, when he still had his mother, and his father and brother......
Jiang Zhengxin smiled and said, "It turns out that you also like the smell of osmanthus." ”
After speaking, with a flick of her fingers, an osmanthus candy fell into her small and pink mouth in a wonderful arc, and with another throw, a peach candy accurately fell into the mouth of the little peach who was leaning up on her plush head.
She is always like this, she never eats well, and she doesn't taste good with small peaches.
In less than half a cup of tea, Xiao Er ran back, carrying a money bag in his hand, and he was surprised and delighted to tell the shopkeeper about this unique payment method. The shopkeeper sighed, and came over to greet Jiang Zhengxin and them, and then lifted the curtain with Xiao Er and went out to play wine and cloth dishes.
The hot dishes were served one after another, so that the originally small wooden table was like a single wooden building, overwhelmed. Xiao Er hurriedly moved two tables from the side to put them together, and barely managed to put the thirty-odd dishes together.
Jiang Zhengxin first filled the wine and toasted Xiao Tao: "Boss, you have worked hard." ”
Xiao Tao raised his hand and hugged Jiang Zhengxin, then took the wine glass and drank it all, showing his true colors as a monkey.
Wei Yue praised on the side: "Little Peach has a good amount of wine!" ”
Giggling, Xiao Tao gritted her white teeth and smiled at Yue Yue, as if she was saying that she had won an award.
Jiang Zhengxin picked a few dishes that looked good and tasted them, and let Xiao Er withdraw if they were not delicious.
After all, a little girl was taken out of the capital by him, and she had been hungry with him for so long, and she was always reluctant to let the family eat enough.
However, the people sitting outside were all chivalrous people who had seen uneven roads, and they were dissatisfied when they saw this scene.
Among them, there were three children of the sect who were dressed in gray and green clothes sitting around a table, and when they saw so many dishes brought back and forth into the private room, they were brought out again without eating two bites, and they were unhappy in their hearts, and said loudly: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." ”
There was only a bamboo curtain between the inside and outside, and the words spoken outside clearly ran into Jiang Zhengxin's ears. She said to Yue Yue with an indifferent face: "Xiaoyue, do you know why Yaoguo's livelihood was not very good before? ”
"Because of the continuous war."
Jiang Zhengxin was noncommittal, and continued: "The conquest made the people have worries, they began to cut back on food and clothing, and rarely bought the necessities of life, there was no trade in the market, and many people's livelihoods were cut off. Yaoguo's prosperity over the years is also due to Jiang Zhengyu's purchase and construction after doing business, which has brought many opportunities for the people of Yaoguo to work and make a living. For example, if I eat this table of dishes today, the proprietress may make more money to buy fabrics to make new clothes, and the embroidery lady who makes clothes will have a job, and she will use the money she earns to buy some rice and noodles, and the livelihood of the farmers who cultivate the fields will also be settled...... Therefore, the money must be circulated, so that the livelihood of the people will not be broken. Moreover, a part of this silver is to be included in the taxes, and the more expenses are spent, and the more taxes are paid, the more taxes will be paid, and the fullness of the treasury will not increase the taxes of the people at will. Therefore, Jiang Zhengyu is very right, squandering silver is a good thing that is beneficial to the country and the people.
Hearing this, Yu Yue laughed in a low voice, feeling that the Jiang family's brothers and sisters' theory was very interesting, but it was not unreasonable.
As he was talking, a young man shouted for his senior brother, and ran in recklessly, and sat down beside the three men in gray and green suits, panting for breath.
The oldest man frowned and rebuked, "What are you flustered about?" Master summoned us back? ”
The young man shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "No, no, Fifth Senior Brother, just ...... Just now, the rivers and lakes have issued a chase and kill order! ”
The man who was called the fifth senior brother first opened his eyes, then closed slightly, and his worried eyes overflowed from his eyes: "It's been a long time since this order has been given in the rivers and lakes, who is the one who gave the order?" And who is it that is being hunted down? ”
"It was the Gu Yan Sect that gave the order, and it was the ...... who hunted down and killed The man with purple eyes. ”
Jiang Zhengxin's breath was stagnant, and Gu Yanjiao knew that Yu Yue was purple pupils?
Before the words fell, a childish young man ran in again and shouted at the four people: "Senior brother, senior brother, another order to chase and kill the rivers and lakes." ”
"Tell me slowly, who ordered it this time? And who killed? ”
"Yes, it's the Cold String Palace, and it's the people with purple pupils who are chasing and killing."
Jiang Zhengxin was shocked, two chase and kill orders? It's all purple eyes? Why did Hanxian Palace kill Yu Yue? ……
