Volume 1 Fifty-One: The Last Memories of the White Butterfly (22)
After the old man led the twenty people away, he waited for a long time, and no employer came, so he became impatient and got up to leave. Xiao Liuzi hurriedly said, "What's the matter, have you earned your medical bills?" β
"I'll earn it elsewhere." Slippery said, limping away.
Zhao Sheng touched Gao Yang with his arm, glanced at him, and then got up and left here.
After walking a short distance, I saw melon seeds in front of a dried fruit shop in Huatou, and I wanted to taste jujube when I was done. The shopkeeper was very helpless when he saw it, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into the slippery hand, and said, "Uncle, you eat slowly, and then buy it after eating!" β
Slippery pretended to be angry and scolded: "You are still rushing people, do you want to do business?" Who doesn't know that uncle, I am a famous gourmand in Daqingshan, I know at a glance that the dry goods in your store are not doing well, do you know why? If I tell you a word that is worth a tael of silver, you still have to thank me, do you know? As he spoke, he grabbed a few more handfuls and carried them around his clothes, "Don't you know how much you can buy for a tael of silver?" β
The shopkeeper knew that he was a scoundrel, and did not speak, but turned his head and went into the house and sat down.
Slippery head took enough dried fruits, and walked towards the intersection to the east while eating.
At this time, the streets were already crowded with people. Zhao Sheng quickened his pace, caught up with the slippery head, and deliberately bumped into him, boom, and most of the dried fruits in his pocket fell out. Slippery Head was annoyed when he saw it, grabbed Zhao Sheng, and scolded: "Are you blind? You didn't bring your eyes when you went out? What's that on your head? You don't have to look at the road with these two things, what are you doing? β
Zhao Sheng hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm sorry for you, this uncle, it was too crowded just now, and I accidentally bumped into you." β
Slippery head scolded again: "Why are you apologizing?" Who told you to apologize? Do you have to apologize for hitting someone? β
Zhao Sheng smiled and asked, "What do you say?" β
The slippery head stretched out his hand and said, "Lose money!" β
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Sheng took out the money bag as he spoke, Gao Yang saw it and tugged Zhao Sheng's arm, Zhao Sheng nodded, motioned to Gao Yang to leave it alone, and then asked, "How much should I accompany you?" β
As soon as he rolled his eyes, he opened his mouth and said, "One or two silver!" β
"Good! One or two is one or two! Zhao Sheng said, and took out a dime of silver from the money bag and put it in the hand of the slippery head, "This one or two is more, is it enough?" β
The slippery head hummed and bit the silver with his teeth, and it was really genuine.
Zhao Sheng shook the money bag, and the broken silver inside made a pleasant sound, then put it in his arms and pulled Gao Yang to continue walking.
"Heyβstop me!" Slippery head shouted.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Sheng turned around, frowned and asked Slippery Head, "Isn't the silver that was compensated to you enough?" β
"Enough, enough!" Slippery head smiled, and said as he walked over: "I want to ask, what are the two little brothers doing when they come to Shuangwangji?" β
Zhao Sheng pointed at Gao Yang and said, "Our brothers were ordered by Jia Yan to bring some silver to Shuanglong Jixue to do businessβwhy am I telling you this?" β
The slippery head patted Zhao Sheng's shoulder and said, "Brother, just tell me!" Don't see each other, we don't know each other! If you want to learn to do business, you can ask me, I am the most familiar with Ssangyongji, which line is the hottest and which line is the coldest, there is nothing I don't know. β
Zhao Sheng squinted his eyes and asked the slippery head: "Are you a good person?" Jia Yan told us that there are too many liars in Ssangyongji, and don't trust anyone who accosted you. β
"Yes, yes, yes!" The slippery head took Zhao Sheng's hand and said, "What your family Yan said is too right, there are too many liars in Shuanglong Ji!" Look at these people, all of them are thieves and mouses, and they are all liars! β
Zhao Sheng asked: "Then are you a liar?" β
Slippery patted his chest and said, "How can I be a liar?" What did you say I lied to you? I was worried that you would be deceived so I came to talk to you. You're new to this place, you're unfamiliar with the place, and you need a friend to give you some pointersβdon't worry, I won't ask for your money! I'm a pure zealous person! β
"Alright then, warm-hearted," Zhao Sheng patted his slippery shoulder and said, "Can you tell me which restaurant has the best food?" Our brothers haven't eaten yet, and we're dying of hunger! β
"This is on me, you come with me!" Slippery said, taking the two of them by the arm.
The three of them arrived at a restaurant called "Wuweiju" at the intersection. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted in a slick voice: "Store, is there a seat on the second floor?" β
The guy hurriedly came over with tea and said with a smiling face: "Yes, yes!" Come with me, three distinguished guests! β
went up to the second floor, and Slider picked a private seat against the west window, and said to the two of them: "From here, you can overlook the entire Shuanglong Set, and let's eat and talk at the same time." β
The man poured them three cups of tea and asked, "What do you want to eat?" β
Zhao Sheng asked, "What do you have here?" β
The guy said, "Our restaurant's signature dish is the whole sheep feast, it's just-"
Zhao Sheng asked, "Just what?" β
The guy hurriedly said, "Three people can't finish eating." β
Slippery head slapped the table and asked loudly: "You know we can't finish eating, my two brothers haven't eaten for three days, let alone one sheep, even two sheep and three sheep can eat!" β
Zhao Sheng took out a piece of silver and handed it to the young man, saying, "Hurry up and do it." β
The guy bowed, and was about to go downstairs, when he grabbed him, took the silver back, and returned it to Zhao Sheng, and then said to the guy: "We have the silver, but you have to cook the food well, let my two brothers eat and drink well, otherwise, let alone the silver, there is no copper!" β
The guy said "yes, yes, yes" and left.
Slippery head invited Zhao Sheng and Gao Yang to drink tea. Suddenly, they heard a car sound downstairs, and the three of them stretched out their heads to look downstairs, only to see the old man who was at the head of the bridge just now coming from North Street, shouting and opening the way as he walked, followed by ten carts behind him, each of which was pulled by two people, and each car was full of goods. Gao Yang touched Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng also saw it, counting from the front, the fourth car was pulled by Zhao Gao, Li Feng was pushing behind, the fifth car was pulled by Gao Hong, and the back was pushed by an unknown person.
The convoy reached the junction and turned right to the city gate.
The slippery head smacked his lips and said, "The pomp of the Ma Wangfu is big!" β
When Zhao Sheng heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Is anyone in the Ma Wangfu doing longevity?" β
Slippery head turned around and said to Zhao Sheng: "You are half right, the people of the Ma Wangfu are longevity, this is good, but the person who has a big birthday is not the person of the Ma Wangfu." β
Zhao Sheng asked: "Whose birthday is it?" β
Slippery raised his hands, arched his hand towards the mountain, and said, "Of course it's the ancestor of Daqingshan!" β
Zhao Sheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master Zu?" β
Slippery head hummed and nodded.
Gao Yang didn't understand, so he asked, "Who is Master Zu?" β
Slippery Head was taken aback by Gao Yang's words, and said, "You don't even know who Master Zu is? β
Zhao Sheng hurriedly said: "My brother has a bad memory since he was a child, and he always can't remember what he said. β
Slippery asked Zhao Sheng again: "Where are you from?" β
Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the north.
The slippery head said as if confirmed: "Moyunling? β
Zhao Sheng didn't speak, just nodded.
"Then it's no wonder." Slippery Tou took a sip of tea and continued: "I have heard some old people say that the people who live in Moyunling now have all moved from us, and they are not used to farming, so they all go to the mountains to hunt. Today is the first time I've seen anyone from Moyunling. Why don't you brothers want to hunt and switch to business? β
Zhao Sheng said: "Our brothers don't like to kill, but in order to eat, we have to go down the mountain to find a way to live. β
Slippery nodded and said, "Yes, it's good not to kill, and I don't like to kill either." β
Zhao Sheng touched his chin and asked again: "Master Zu, we have heard some of them piecemeal, but they are not comprehensive, can you tell us more about it, big brother?" β
"It's not impossible to talk about it," said the slippery head, "I don't think there is anyone in the entire Shuanglong Collection who knows Daqingshan better than me, but I am a person who has entered the library and read a lot of books." β
Zhao Sheng understood as soon as he heard it, and said, "Of course, we can't listen to your story in vain. β
The slippery head hurriedly said, "That's it." It took me a lot of time. β
Zhao Sheng said: "How about we invite you to dinner and drink again in the evening?" β
Slippery thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you give me the silver, and I'll buy it myself." β
Gao Yang pursed his lips. Zhao Sheng didn't care, and asked, "How much did you say?" β
Slippery head hugged his arms, listened to Zhao Sheng ask him to make a price, and slowly stretched out five fingers-
"Five taels?" Zhao Sheng asked.
The slippery head didn't know whether five taels of silver was more or less for Zhao Sheng, and he couldn't guess it, so he had to nod. As soon as Zhao Sheng saw him nodding, he immediately took out a piece of silver from his money bag and put it on the table. He picked it up and checked it, there were five taels, only a lot more, and immediately smiled, and said to Zhao Sheng: "Brother, you are really refreshing!" I'm embarrassed not to know everything about you! β
As he spoke, the man began to serve the food and drinks. The so-called whole sheep feast is to use a whole sheep and different parts to make different dishes, some stir-fried, some steamed, some roasted, and some roasted...... A table was set up full.
Seeing the food in front of him, the slippery head scratched his ears and cheeks with joy, drooled, and quickly picked up the chopsticks, as if he was the owner, and greeted Zhao Sheng and Gao Yang: "Hurry up and eat while it's hot!" When it's cold, the taste changes! β
The two of them had never seen such a sumptuous meal and wine, and they also threw off their arms and ate it.
By the time they had eaten half of the table, the stomachs of the three of them had swelled and they could no longer eat them. Slippery Tou took a sip of tea, leaned back against the chair, picked his teeth with a bone, burped, and then began to tell the story to the two of them: "The ancestor on the mountain is the one who helped Erma defeat Wuzihan forty years ago!" β
"Huh!?" Zhao Sheng and Gao Yang were both taken aback when they heard this, and asked in unison, "Is he still alive?" β
"Isn't it?" Slippery head burped again, and then said: "Tomorrow is his old man's 100th birthday, and Ma Wangfu has been busy for this since a month ago." Andβ" He said, seeing that there was no one around, but still let the two of them come closer.
Both of them put their ears to the mouth of the slippery head as they said, and they heard him say, "Even the king of the sea fairy kingdom in the east has come to celebrate his birthday!" β
At this moment, the two were stunned in shock.
