Chapter 102: God assists the backstabber
"It's six two three." Xiao Er said with a smile.
The shopkeeper on the side also came over, saw Xu Wenyu, and greeted Xu Wenyu politely, "It turned out that Master Xu was here, and the small shop was shining, these are what Master Xu wanted?" Since they are all old acquaintances, they must give Xu Zhushu some discounts, and if they wipe the odds, they will directly give six taels of silver. ”
Cheng Xi pretended not to know and said, "Ah, the things here are really expensive, Fourth Uncle, or?" ”
Without waiting for Xu Wenyu to answer, the shopkeeper on the side said, "Girl, Master Xu is now an adult in the county government, how can he care about this bit of silver?" Then he said to Xiao Er on the side, "Why don't you hurry up and wrap things up for Lord Xu?" ”
Cheng Xi looked at the shopkeeper in amazement, she didn't seem to know this person, how did she feel that this person was specially here to make up for her as an assist?
The smile on Xu Wenyu's face was a little unbearable, but it seemed that because of the presence of the shopkeeper, he had to take out the purse from his arms, and then counted the silver in the purse very painfully, but he was reluctant to give it out.
Cheng Xi was actually happy in his heart, and on the surface, he pretended to be considerate and said, "Fourth uncle, I didn't expect the things here to be so expensive, this is too expensive, why don't we just buy one?" Don't want anything else? ”
Xu Wenyu glanced at the shopkeeper, gritted his teeth, and seemed to struggle in his heart before saying the first sentence to the shopkeeper, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Wu is okay?" I don't know when you came to this Pin Xuan as the shopkeeper? ”
The shopkeeper Wu smiled and replied, "Let Lord Xu laugh, Wu has always been dull, he is not as good as Lord Xu, and he can only come to this shop with the smell of copper, this is what Lord Xu wants, you take it." ”
Shopkeeper Wu said as he handed Xiao Er's wrapped things to Xu Wenyu, and then unceremoniously pulled the silver in front of Xu Wenyu in front of him and put it away.
Xu Wenyu originally planned to listen to Cheng Xi, and just buy one of the same or two, but in the end, he knew this Wu shopkeeper, and he always felt that his face was a little unbearable, and he struggled in his heart for a long time before he made up his mind and was ready to say a few words to this Wu shopkeeper first, and then as long as it was the same, he didn't want this surnamed Wu to give himself a chance to speak at all, and he was no longer a scholar he used to be, and he had become an inferior businessman who was a philistine, which was really disgusting.
There was not much silver left in the purse, Xu Wenyu's mood was really a little unhappy, and he didn't want to continue to see this surnamed Wu for a moment, picked up the things, and faced the shopkeeper Wu was no longer as enthusiastic as just now, and said in a detached tone, "There is still something to do, Brother Wu will leave." ”
Without waiting for Shopkeeper Wu to speak, he turned around and left, Cheng Xi smiled very happily, and waved his hand to Shopkeeper Wu enthusiastically, "Goodbye Shopkeeper Wu." ”
Shopkeeper Wu looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile and nodded, "The girl will come next time, Wu will give the girl a discount." ”
Cheng Xi smiled and thanked him, and also turned around and left quickly, keeping up with Xu Wenyu's footsteps.
Xiao Er looked at the two people who walked away, and said to the shopkeeper on the side, "Shopkeeper, I saw that Lord Xu didn't seem to want to buy so much, and he was a little unhappy when he left?" ”
Shopkeeper Wu glared at Xiao Er, "You are quite considerate of others, have you ever thought that I would be unhappy if the business is not good and the sales are less?" ”
Xiao Er stopped talking, looked puzzled, scratched his head a little puzzled, and thought to himself What happened to today's shopkeeper? I've never been so unkind to buy things from a pit guest before.
And the shopkeeper Wu looked at the back in the distance, and muttered with a smile, "This little girl is a little interesting." ”
At this time, Cheng Xi was so happy that she followed Xu Wenyu forward, originally she planned to pit Xu Wenyu for a sum of money, but after that, Xu Wenyu would definitely be suspicious of her, and she had to deal with it carefully.
Who knows how this Pinxuan suddenly appeared as a shopkeeper Wu, who is simply a god assisting the backstabber, and he didn't speak much, and this thing was done.
Trying to suppress the joy in his heart, Cheng Xi said with a distressed face, "Fourth uncle, six taels of silver to buy these things, it's too expensive, I knew that these things are so expensive, so we won't come." ”
Xu Wenyu turned his head to look at Cheng Xi's frowning little face, and the little unhappiness in his heart about Cheng Xi's proposal to come to Yipinxuan seemed to have faded a lot, and he tried to show a smile, and responded, "It's okay, let's go quickly, lead the way." ”
Cheng Xi took Xu Wenyu to turn left and right, and finally arrived at the door of his master's courtyard and knocked on the courtyard door.
Xu Wenyu also straightened his clothes, waiting for the front courtyard door to open, looking forward to being the Zhao family in Yuecheng.
"Good morning, master." It was Chef Zhao who opened the door, and Cheng Xi greeted him warmly with a smile when he saw the visitor.
Chef Zhao had already been instructed by Cheng Xi, of course he knew what Cheng Xi was here for, but he smiled and pretended to be surprised, "Yo, it's Miss Xi, why did you come to my house early in the morning?" Who is this? ”
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "I have been taken care of by the master, but I didn't have time to visit, so I came to visit the master today." ”
While speaking, Cheng Xi handed the oil paper bag in his hand to Chef Zhao, and then introduced Xu Wenyu to Chef Zhao on the side, "This is Xu Wenyu, the fourth uncle of me and Xu Sanlang, I heard that the master took good care of us in the restaurant, and specially brought a gift to thank you." ”
Xu Wenyu saw the person in front of him, and then heard Cheng Xi's master, remembering that Cheng Xi had mentioned that he recognized the chef in the restaurant as the master, and knew that most of them were not the people he was looking for. ”
Chef Zhao took the things in Xu Wenyu's hand unceremoniously, and responded with a smile, "You're polite, come into the house and sit down." ”
Xu Wenyu originally thought that he would just say goodbye and leave, but he didn't want Cheng Xi to jump up and follow Chef Zhao inside, and said, "Okay, Fourth Uncle, hurry up." ”
Xu Wenyu had to follow Cheng Xi into the house, thinking about leaving after a few casual greetings, while Cheng Xi took advantage of the time to whisper to Xu Wenyu, "The second child of Master Zhao's family turned out to be a scholar, fourth uncle, stay for a while and see for yourself if it is the person you are looking for." ”
Xu Wenyu nodded, and Cheng Xi raised his head and said to Chef Zhao, who came in with a teapot, "Master, aren't Brother Zhao and Second Brother Zhao here?" ”
Chef Zhao came over to pour tea for the two of them, and responded with a smile, "Here, I just came back from a dart run yesterday, and I just got home at night, I just called them, I'll come over later." ”
Xu Wenyu thought that since they were all here, they couldn't miss the slightest possibility, so he asked, "The two sons turned out to be running darts?" Must have been to a lot of places? ”
Chef Zhao replied with a smile, "Where do you dare to go to a distant place, just run around a few counties." ”
Xu Wenyu took the opportunity to speak, "Xiao Sheng has also been to a lot of places, and he only went to Moon City once last year, I don't know if Mr. Zhao has ever been there?" ”
Chef Zhao deliberately opened his mouth a little contemplatively, "Yuecheng, it is said that it is a good place, but it's a pity ......"
Xu Wenyu, who thought that Chef Zhao had a story, was looking at Chef Zhao with a look of hope, thinking that Chef Zhao had a story in Moon City, and his hopes were getting closer and closer, so he hurriedly asked, "What is a pity?" ”
Chef Zhao raised his head and waved his hand with a smile, "Let you say it's funny, but it's a pity that I've lived most of my life, and I've stayed in this county town as a cook, where have I ever been to such a good place in Moon City." ”
Xu Wenyu experienced the process of despair from hope to moment, and he couldn't wait to step forward and beat the old man who stammered and only half a sentence on the ground, and took several deep breaths before suppressing his violent emotions and no longer speaking.
When Chef Zhao's two sons came out, Cheng Xi asked, so he shook his head casually, Chef Zhao wanted to leave the two of them for breakfast, but Xu Wenyu didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and he didn't even bother to speak a few polite words, so he just found an excuse that something was wrong in the yamen and left first, leaving Cheng Xi here for breakfast.
When Xu Wenyu walked away, Chef Zhao closed the door and came in, and said to Cheng Xi, who was sitting in the main hall talking to his two sons, "I didn't have any problems with what I just did, right?" ”
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Very good, there is no problem at all." ”
Chef Zhao was a little worried, "Let's calculate and trick him like this, he is from the county government anyway, if he understands, will he retaliate against us?" ”
Cheng Xi said with a smile, "We didn't calculate him, master, don't talk nonsense, he took the initiative to ask me to take him to visit the Zhao family, isn't your surname Zhao?" And he also took the initiative to send this thing, I didn't force him, he couldn't put it down himself, so he had to die and suffer face, hehe. ”
Zhao Dazhu on the side said with a smile, "You girl, you're really getting more and more ghostly." ”
Chef Zhao took the two packets of things brought by Cheng Xi and Xu Wenyu and put them in front of Cheng Xi, and said, "You are a little bolder." ”
Cheng Xi handed his bag of things to Chef Zhao, "I originally brought this bag for you, you put it away, but your favorite tobacco, just give me this bag, this thing is worth six taels of silver, I'll return it in a while, hehe." ”
Looking at Cheng Xi's appearance of a little wealth fan, Chef Zhao and the others only smiled and shook their heads helplessly.
After having breakfast at Chef Zhao's house, Cheng Xi took the bag of things and went back to Yipinxuan again, and the shopkeeper Wu was still in the store, watching Cheng Xi come over with things, and greeted with a smile, "The girl is here again so soon?" Hey? You came alone this time? ”
Cheng Xi nodded, put on her sweet smile, revealing a pair of round dimples, and put the package in his hand in front of Shopkeeper Wu, "Shopkeeper, I don't want these things anymore, can you give me a refund?" ”
