Chapter 20: Jealousy among peers
When he arrived at the date agreed with Jin Youliang, Yuan Qi and Jin Youliang went to Yunzhou City together.
Yunzhou City seems to be not far from Dayu Mountain, but in fact it is not close, but the two of them talked along the way, and the time passed slowly, and when it was close to noon, the carriage walked for a long time before faintly seeing the outline of Yunzhou City, and it looked quite majestic.
When entering the city, the carriage walked on the wide road, Yuan Qi also looked out the window, only to see that the street was lined with shops, people came and went, shouting to buy and sell, and the noise was endless.
Yuan Qi knew that Yunzhou was the capital city, but he didn't expect that this Yunzhou City was really big, far more prosperous than he imagined, the more prosperous Yuan Qi liked, which meant that the more opportunities to make a fortune.
The two of them had already had lunch on the way, so they went directly to the main store of the Jin Ji Rouge Shop.
After entering the store, Jin Youliang let Yuan Qi rest, and he went to the backyard to report to the young owner Jin Sihou.
After a while, Jin Sihou came out, saying that things were a little unfortunate, and the young owner had a distinguished guest, so he had to wait for a while, Yuan Qi nodded, he was at peace when he came.
It doesn't matter if you wait, it was only noon when the two of them came, and they waited until the west, and the Shaodong family didn't mean to see him, so Jin Youliang felt a little embarrassed, but Yuan Qi knew it, maybe this was also Jin Sihou's trick in business, deliberately bullying customers like this, hanging the two of them here, giving him a dismount first, so as to take advantage of more when discussing the jade girl cream......
It wasn't until it was almost time for dinner that someone came to inform:
"Boss Yuan, the golden shopkeeper, the owner of the banquet guests, let the two of them go together."
The golden shopkeeper's face was a little unsightly, even if the owner had any schemes, this was really too much, I thought that Yuan Qi would be young and vigorous, but Yuan Qi still smiled and said nothing, and followed to the back hall.
When I arrived in the backyard, a table of banquets was placed in the courtyard, the breeze was gentle, the wine and meat were fragrant, and Yuan Qi was hooked to a greedy worm, although he had Xiaopang, his life on the mountain had been greatly improved, but Xiaopang's skills were still limited after all, and there were no high-end ingredients in the mountains for Xiaopang's performance.
In addition to the table full of wine and food, there are also rare glass cups on the table, which glow softly in the moonlight, which is quite a bit of a luminous glass of fine wine.
Yuan Qi hasn't enjoyed such food for a long time, since he came, he didn't eat for nothing, this is the consistent style of people who engage in sales, as for Jin Sihou's face, he will find it back in Table Mountain!
However, in the eyes of Jin Youliang and Jin Sihou, they felt that he was not shocked by honor and disgrace, and they were secretly a little surprised in their hearts......
A few people sat down, and Jin Sihou stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to each other."
Jin Sihou said, pointing to the person sitting in the guest seat:
"This is the pride of our Yunzhou men, Fan Jianliao Fan Daxia, one hand Chiyang palm is superb, ten years ago he entered the top 32 of the Yunzhou Youth Hero Association, it is not easy, only three men entered the top 32 that year......"
Fan Jianliao bowed slightly, and seemed to be quite proud of his past feats.
"This Lai Sansheng, Lai Daxia, is also very good at a fast sword, and he is also in charge of the family's business."
Yuan Qi smiled slightly and didn't speak, he didn't know what kind of event the young hero would be, but he had seen all kinds of competitions such as superwomen and fast men and what sports teenagers and young people, crowned as teenagers, in fact, it shows that the level is average, and there is also a Yunzhou in front of him, it is estimated that it is similar to the top 32 players in the division competition of super women and fast men, and it is still a cold rice that has passed for ten years, and now it is still fried, which means that this Fan Jianliao has made nothing achievements in the past ten years, and the world is yin and yang are declining, The martial arts of the female surname are much stronger than the male surname, and Fan Jianliao's martial arts must be very limited.
As for Lai Sansheng, I'm afraid it's even worse, there is really no woman on the table, and he becomes a hero, and Yuan Qi doesn't take these two people to heart.
After introducing the other party, Jin Sihou introduced Jin Youliang and Yuan Qi again.
"This is the golden shopkeeper of my Rouge Workshop in Dayu Town."
Jin Youliang hurriedly saluted the two of them, and his attitude was very respectful.
The young owner said, and introduced Yuan Qi again:
"This ...... Shopkeeper Jin, what did you say his name just now? ”
"Boss Yuan, Boss Yuan of Jade Girl Cream".
Jin Youliang hurriedly reminded his young owner.
The young owner said:
"Oh, by the way, this is Boss Yuan, who is also in the rouge gouache business, what kind of paste is it made......"
Jin Youliang hurriedly said:
"Jade Girl Cream, Jade Girl Paste ......"
"Oh, yes, the ...... who makes the jade cream"
Yuan Qi's brows twitched slightly, it was impossible for Jin Youliang not to tell his young owner about the matter of the jade girl's ointment, but this guy pretended not to know, and he was obviously deliberately belittling himself.
Lai Sansheng on the side couldn't help but ask:
"Jade girl ointment, what kind of rouge gouache is this?"
Yuan Qi explained:
"It's beauty and beauty to help women be youthful, glamorous and radiant, and it's quite popular now."
Yuan Qi saw that Jin Sihou deliberately suppressed himself, so he had to stand up.
"Oh, I haven't heard of this, but it seems that Boss Yuan has just entered this industry, and I'm afraid that his strength is very limited, and what kind of ointment is this, I'm afraid the effect is also very limited......"
Peer jealousy, this is nothing new, obviously, his and Jin Youliang's words made Lai Sansheng, a peer, uncomfortable, and it was obvious that he was deliberately belittling himself.
But Yuan Qi has experienced a lot of battles like this, but he is not afraid of Lai Sansheng's belittlement, and he also smiled and said:
"Lai Daxia disagrees with this, the so-called mountain is not high, there is a fairy name, the store is not big, and the goods are good."
Yuan Qi paused for a moment and continued:
"As for the jade girl ointment, it is not known to many people now, but it is only temporary, maybe it won't be long before the jade girl paste will become famous in Yunzhou, and when the time comes, the jade girl paste will become famous all over the world......"
"Hahahaha!"
Lai Sansheng couldn't help laughing, as if he had heard some of the funniest jokes, and laughed for a long time before he said to Yuan Qi:
"Boss Yuan, dare to say that your jade girl paste is famous all over the world, your tone is a little bigger, my Lai family has also made rouge for many years, the Fan Daxia gouache here is an ancestral family business, and it has a long history in Yunzhou, how many years have passed before it became famous in Yunzhou, but I don't dare to say that you are famous in the world, you are a fledgling hairy young man, I don't know how thick the sky is, it's ridiculous!"
This guy has a broken duck voice, and at this time he is angry, and his voice is even more sharp and thin, like a eunuch, which makes people feel awkward to listen to.
Yuan Qi already understood at this time that in fact, these two people were the same as himself, they were both businessmen who had business dealings with Jin Ji, and Jin Sihou did not introduce the identity of his businessmen, but introduced his identity as a martial artist, obviously the status of businessmen at this time was not as good as these people with martial arts, and Jin Sihou was proud to make friends with such characters.
Yuan Qi couldn't help but secretly say, it seems that it would be a mistake not to mention Boss Du in front of Jin Youliang, if he reprocessed the matter of Boss Du being miserable and running away from the wilderness, maybe he would have become Jin Sihou's guest of honor, but now it's too late to say this, people really think he is bragging, but he will be looked down upon.
So Yuan Qi didn't think about it, but responded lightly to Lai Sansheng's words:
"I'm talking about the time, Lai Daxia can wait and see!"
"What an arrogant young man, since you are so confident, why don't you ask for advice about rouge gouache here today, I don't know if Boss Yuan dares to fight!"
Yuan Qi laughed and was about to speak, but Fan Jianliao, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly opened his mouth:
"Brother Lai, the matter of asking for rouge gouache is to bully the young with the old, and it is not martial, not to mention that there is also a suspicion of getting an axe in front of the young owner, I don't think it is as good as this, Boss Yuan is also a person with kung fu, and today it is said that thanks to the hospitality of the Jin Sihou family, it is better for us to also offer martial arts to help the wine, I don't know what the young owner wants?"
Jin Sihou laughed when he heard this:
"Fan Daxia's proposal is very good, I also want to feast my eyes! In this case, Jin Mou can't help but say that everything must have a lottery, and Jin will give a hundred taels of silver to help the fun, how about it? ”
Fan Jianliao on the side arched his hand and said:
"Young owners are righteous."
Lai Sansheng also arched his hand and said:
"But it's up to the owner to call the shots."
Two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and Yuan Qi has a way, but he does not object to it.
Seeing that the three of them had all gone down, Jin Sihou smiled again:
"The three heroes are polite, but if any of you lose, shouldn't you also say something? Isn't that more fun? ”
Fan Jianliao also nodded and agreed:
"Well, the young owner is so atmospheric, I can't be too stingy, otherwise, if you lose in the next place, you can climb under the table two times, how about it?"
When Yuan Qi heard this, he said secretly: This Fan Jianliao is really too bad!
Dogs like to burrow under the table and gnaw on the bones and food that have been dropped by the people on the table.
Hearing Fan Jianliao say this, Jin Sihou hesitated for a moment and said:
"Hehe, it's just a game, it's just a game, let's stop it."
Yuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Jin Sihou was still measured, he wanted to look down on him, and he didn't want to go too far.
But Lai Sansheng on the side suddenly said:
"According to Fan Daxia's meaning, we can't be too stingy, if we lose, we will also crawl under the table two times back and forth."
Yuan Qi gasped, Jin Sihou wanted to suppress him, and Fan Lai and the two sang and harmonized, taking this opportunity to deliberately put him on the fire and humiliate.
Yuan Qi really wants to agree, his little three-legged cat, it is impossible to perform, but it is very likely to offer ugliness; And if he brushes his sleeves away, then what he has to do when he comes to Jinji will be yellow, and this is also in the arms of Fan Jianliao and Lai Sansheng.
Yuan Qi was also very entangled in his heart, so he admitted defeat, he was really unwilling to be reconciled, his heart turned sharply, his eyes rolled a few times, since it was a performance, he thought of a wonderful way, so he nodded and said:
"Since the young owner has this intention, he can't spoil the fun in the next, and if he loses in the next, it will be regarded as an experience."
As soon as Yuan Qi's words came out, several people had different expressions, Jin Youliang didn't expect Yuan Qi to dare to accept the move, and he secretly complained in his heart, but Jin Sihou, Fan Jianliao and Lai Sansheng thought in their hearts that Yuan Qi was a duck with a hard mouth, and he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead......
Although Yuan Qi agreed to perform, since the other party proposed to perform, he was also asked to decide on the way to perform, Fan and Lai had no objections, and the judgment was naturally ...... by Jin Sihou;
