Chapter 57: Outsiders Don't Know the Rules
Bao Hong is a greedy person, but he is also a capable person who can do things.
In just two days, Zhang Liao was really transferred from He Jin's account to the lower barracks of the Xiyuan New Army.
Bao Hong was in charge of the military affairs of the tuncai and the military camp at the same time, so naturally he was mostly lacking in skills.
So, he simply handed over the affairs of the newly established lower military camp to Zhang Liao to take care of.
He himself was concentrating on hiding in the cantonment camp and ending up at ease.
Since then, Liu Dan and Bao Hong's private relationship has become more and more familiar.
Just when Liu Dan thought that he could live a stable life for a few days, the two brothers He Jin and He Miao became more and more fierce in the open and secret struggle between the two brothers in the court.
In order to avoid He Miao and the Queen Mother's plot, He Jin transferred the five battalions of the Northern Army to take over the defense of Luoyang Simen.
He Zhuang led the eight battalions of the West Garden to take turns guarding the surroundings of the palace, and for a time the entire Luoyang was turbulent and undercurrents were surging.
There was chaos in the imperial court, and Meixianglou's business was affected.
Compared with before, Liu Dan's daily income is much worse than before.
Liu Dan saw that the He family in the court was becoming more and more intensified, so he simply took a month's leave from his superiors and hid in Meixianglou and did not go out.
"Big brother, second brother has a letter!"
Zhang Fei took a brocade book and walked quickly to the counter and handed it to Liu Dan.
After Liu Dan took it, he immediately started watching it.
Zhang Fei didn't wait for him to finish reading and asked in a hurry.
"What did the second brother say in the letter?"
Liu Dan read all the letters before he replied.
"It's nothing, let's just say that the Meixiang Building in Gangneung is about to be renovated and will be open for business next month. And my eldest brother has already taken up his post in Gangneung, and he was appointed by his eldest brother as the lieutenant of Gangneung County, and he began to help lead the army to suppress bandits......"
When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes immediately lit up with envy.
"Really? The second brother's life is too good! Big brother, when are we going to Gangneung? It's really boring to stay in Luoyang! We can't do this business anymore, and I'm afraid we won't be able to raise the funds for big things......"
The more Zhang Fei's words spoke, the quieter he became, because he saw that Liu Dan's face was getting more and more ugly.
Liu Dan slowly put Guan Yu's brocade book into his arms, then looked outside the door and sighed softly.
"I want to leave too, but it's a pity that there are too many bad things in this He family, and it's hard for me to get out of it when I'm involved......"
In fact, Liu Dan still didn't say a word.
That is, even if they want to leave now, they will also go out!
He Jin set up more than a dozen secret and open whistles in Meixianglou, just for fear that he would find an opportunity to run away.
He Hui is even more powerful, he directly chartered a box on the second floor of Meixiang Building for a long time.
Let Zhang Zhang's son Zhang Kui take five people to eat and live here for a long time, and the reputation is to help protect the safety of his daughter-in-law.
Liu Dan asked He Hui to pick up his beautiful daughter-in-law more than once, but people were unwilling to live or die, and they used a lot of gold and silver to tarnish his principle again and again.
In the end, Liu Dan could only choose to compromise on the face of money.
Can't get along with anyone, can't get along with money!
Liu Dan was thinking about these upsetting things, when suddenly there was a storm outside.
Wen Chou, who was delivering food, ran in quickly, slapping the rain on his body and nagging.
"It's not spring yet, why is it raining heavily! It's weird......
Zhang Fei saw that Liu Dan was not in the mood to chat with him, so he turned around and went to ridicule Wen Chou.
"Isn't it just a little rain, look at your embarrassed bear! How many orders did you run today? Is it enough for today's drink? ”
Wen Chou smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and replied while walking inside with the food box outside.
"Third master, are you gluttonous again? Not to mention making a little money today, even if you don't make money, you have to drink it! ”
Zhang Fei laughed after hearing this.
"That's it! I'll go to the kitchen to cook two dishes, let's call Brother Shangyan Liang to drink some together? ”
With that, Zhang Fei and Wen Chou walked to the backyard together.
Liu Dan didn't say anything when he saw this, anyway, it was difficult for the restaurant to have any business when it rained.
As soon as he thought this, a group of people walked in outside.
Judging by the dress of these people, they should be officials from other provinces who went to the city to report on their work.
Why?
Because Liu Dan looked at them all wearing official robes!
"Shop, good wine and good food!"
"What's so hot that you want to serve a few plates to fill your stomach!"
As soon as the group came in, they began to shout and drink.
Seeing this, the guy next to him pouted disdainfully and said.
"I'm afraid that a few officials are from out of town, right?"
When a burly man heard this, he immediately became a little angry.
"How? Eat here with locals and outsiders? ”
The guy smiled coldly, then walked over with a menu.
"There is no distinction between people who eat, but we don't have anyone who can come in and eat!"
With that, the guy contemptuously dropped the menu on the table.
Seeing this situation, everyone suddenly became angry, and a few of them almost couldn't help but move.
But when they saw the price list on the menu, they were all shocked.
"What's that? How much does it cost to eat a meal? ”
"The dragon liver and phoenix brain you eat, are you drinking the elixir and jade liquid? Why is it so expensive! ”
"Black shop, you guys are a black shop here!"
The burly man grabbed the man and glared at him viciously and yelled.
"You're an errand and food delivery thing, and you're not qualified to talk to us! Get over and let the shopkeeper come and answer, or else...... Grandpa demolished your black shop! ”
After saying that, the guy was thrown up by this hand.
The guy flew out more than two meters before falling to the ground, and immediately ran in front of Liu Dan with his butt covered after getting up.
"Boss, someone's making trouble! Do you want to call someone? ”
Liu Dan saw everything just now, so he slowly waved his hand and said.
"Not for now, just watch. I'll go over and ask what's going on......"
The guy nodded angrily, and Liu Dan strode over with his head held high.
When the burly man saw Liu Dan coming, he slapped the table with his right hand and shouted.
"You're the shopkeeper of this black shop?"
Liu Dan is not an unreasonable person, and the attitude of the guy just now is indeed not good.
But after these people came in, they called their store a black store, which boss can be happy about this?
So, Liu Dan was about to put his hands behind his back and said coldly.
"Is it all white to grow so big? Is it because of the poverty of the family and the fact that he has not been taught by his husband? Will you be able to speak well? ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect that this businessman who was doing business was quite arrogant.
The burly man was also immediately angry, only to see him staring at Liu Dan viciously with wide eyes and saying coldly.
"What? Have the courage to open a black shop, don't you admit it? Ten taels of gold for a table of food, this is not a black shop? ”
Liu Dan looked at this person as heroic and extraordinary, and expected that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
If you want to deal with this kind of person, you must not be humble, arrogant, or arrogant.
So, Liu Dan first glared back at the man, and then slowly opened his mouth and replied coldly.
"After eating, the price is called a black shop, Lao Tzu here has always been a clear price, Tong Su is not bullied!"
"When you eat, you can come in and eat, if you can't afford to eat, you can say something nice, and it doesn't hurt for Lao Tzu to give you a meal!"
"But if someone comes to make trouble, then don't blame Liu for being polite."
