Chapter 307: Pretending to be stupid
Shopkeeper Cui deliberately pretended not to see the bottom of Master Dong's eyes, and then stopped, such a proposal, Master Dong could only agree, and the two put a few small dishes in the courtyard and began to drink.
Shopkeeper Cui immediately took the initiative of the topic in his own hands, and talked about his own business, many of which were bragging, and Master Dong became more and more impatient when he listened.
But Master Dong couldn't take the initiative to inquire about what he wanted to ask, and this opening would reveal his stuffing, so he still asked sideways.
"Shopkeeper Cui, where have you been today? Can you go out for a day to talk about business? ”
Hearing Master Dong's title, Cui's shopkeeper was a little more colorful.
"Master Dong, what do you want to talk to me about? You suddenly called me shopkeeper, I'm really not used to it, in fact, it's nothing, it's still before, shopkeeper Shen wants to make the business bigger......"
But speaking of this, Shopkeeper Cui paused, as if he didn't see the anxiety in Master Dong's eyes, and said directly.
"But I don't think you should be interested in these things, after all, Shopkeeper Shen specially asked me to set up a banquet with Shopkeeper Wang before, and invited Lord Zhao, but Lord Zhao didn't even show his face, and specially sent you to refuse...... Oh, I won't tell you, lest you be upset. ”
Master Dong was angry in his heart, but he couldn't deny it, he could see that the shopkeeper Cui was deliberate!
Grinding his teeth, Master Dong thought of the adult's instructions, and then thought of the military order he had made before he came, so he could only speak.
"Okay, shopkeeper Cui, don't play with me, what's going on? I heard that you and that shopkeeper Wang went to Winter Solstice County, don't blame me for not reminding you, that Master Hu heard that he often drinks privately with merchants. ”
"It's not that you can't, but Lord Hu is a court official, and he always eats with a group of merchants, what's the matter? I also heard that Master Hu also received a lot of money from merchants, and I don't care what others do, you can't. ”
"Although you are also in business, when you married my sister before, you promised me that the money you make is all honest and clean silver, if you let me know what little actions you are doing behind your back, I will not let you go!"
As Master Dong spoke, he began to teach a lesson again.
Shopkeeper Cui has long been used to it, but now that he hears Master Dong's words, it doesn't feel good to hear it.
If Master Dong is really as decent as he said, then that's fine, but didn't Master Dong himself come to himself for business?
Smear the opponent to elevate himself, compared with the merchants, Master Dong is not much better.
In the past, in the mind of the shopkeeper Cui, Master Dong was an old-fashioned and upright person, but after the previous dock business, the shopkeeper Cui could see it clearly.
I was completely pinched by Master Dong before, and what Master Dong said sounded good, but it was because there was really no benefit, so he showed a righteous and awe-inspiring, upright and unyielding appearance.
But now that the dock business is about to be "sent" to Master Hu by himself and the shopkeeper Wang, Master Dong is also anxious, although the "sending" business is fake, but Master Dong's reaction is true.
And contrary to what Shopkeeper Cui expected, in other words, Master Dong's previous image of integrity in Shopkeeper Cui's mind has collapsed.
Therefore, when facing Master Dong, Shopkeeper Cui was not as respectful and cautious as before, but a little more casual.
Big brother, don't talk about second brother, who is more noble than whom!
So he said helplessly: "Big brother, it's useless for you to tell me this, after all, this business is not led by me, Shen Shopkeeper...... I don't know if you know it, but with my understanding of Shopkeeper Shen, this business is done. ”
"People do business, it has always been very smooth, no, it can't be said that the shopkeeper Shen is doing business, and some people are sad, but the shopkeeper Shen can easily solve it, plus there is the old-timer Wang Shopkeeper from the side, it's not me bragging, within a few days, it is estimated that everything can come true!"
Shopkeeper Cui kept his mouth shut about Master Hu, but in his words, he was full of confidence in Shen Yingniang.
If it comes true, it is also a pun, and when it falls into the ears of Master Dong, he will think that Shen Yingniang will soon be able to take the dock in Winter Solstice County and reach a cooperation with Master Hu.
But what Shopkeeper Cui really means is that he will be able to let Lord Zhao loosen his mouth and take the dock in Spring Equinox County immediately.
It's a pity that Master Dong, who is now in the bureau, doesn't know that he has been calculated, and when he heard the words of Shopkeeper Cui, he became anxious and frowned.
"Why can't you be the master? Didn't you do this business with that shopkeeper Shen? And she's a woman, acting so recklessly, doesn't the shopkeeper know how to remind her? Shopkeeper Wang is also an old man in the business field, can he be led by a little lady? ”
Shopkeeper Cui looked at Master Dong with a shocked expression.
"Brother-in-law, it's not me talking about you, this prejudice against women is too great, can Shopkeeper Shen be an ordinary woman? You look at the businesses that people do, they started by selling snacks on the street, and now, everyone wants to tie her up. ”
"After all, Shopkeeper Shen's brain, whatever you want to do, you can let the people who follow her eat meat and drink soup together, you can't do this prejudice, Shopkeeper Wang is convinced of her, my small role, naturally I also look forward to Shopkeeper Shen, after all, I still want to follow her to do business and make money!"
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Cui had already stood up.
"That, I drank too much today, if my brother-in-law is fine, I will go back and rest first, if it is late today, if my brother-in-law is not in a hurry and there is nothing to do, I will stay and rest for one night, and I will let someone send you back tomorrow."
"Wait!"
Master Dong didn't expect that Shopkeeper Cui was about to leave when he said that, but he felt that the other party was deliberately avoiding him.
Is business really going to happen?
If this is the case, then if you come on this trip by yourself, not only will you run in vain, but you will not be able to pay the difference when you go back.
I've given a military order to an adult, and I'm sure I'll get this done, but now......
Looking at the flickering words of the shopkeeper Cui, Master Dong finally became anxious, stood up and said.
"Wait! I have something to tell you, I came here mainly to remind you, no matter what, you are also my brother-in-law, I am worried that you will be reckless, don't suffer at that time. ”
"If you suffer a loss, the business goes wrong, and you can't keep the family business, but I'm afraid that my sister will suffer a loss, you listen to me in this matter, don't follow that Shen shopkeeper to fool around."
"Lord Hu is not a good person, your business does sound like it can make money, but Lord Hu is not so easy to speak, if you swallow it in one go, you will not be able to steal chickens and rice at that time."
Shopkeeper Cui originally turned around to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped, turned his head to look at Master Dong, and said with a smile.
"Uncle, look at what you said, what would it be good if it got out? Even if Master Hu is really as difficult to get along with as you said, then we can't do anything. ”
"After all, we have already looked for Lord Zhao before, Lord Zhao's reputation sounds bad, at least on the merchant's side, it is an iron-faced and selfless image, but this reputation can be regarded as two-sided, iron-faced selflessness, which also represents justice and is an upright person."
"But no matter how honest we are, Lord Zhao refuses to agree to us and cooperate with us, then we have no choice but to retreat and find someone else, at least others won't even go to dinner, and they are willing to take care of us, so there will be some talk!"
After the shopkeeper Cui finished speaking, he spread his hands, very helpless.
Master Dong was choked by the other party's words, and he couldn't say anything for a while, and then Shopkeeper Cui waved his hand, as if he didn't see Master Dong's dark face and said.
"Okay, uncle, I'm really sleepy, or I'll go back and rest first, if you want to sit for a while, then sit for a while."
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Cui yawned and turned to leave.
Master Dong wanted to say a few more words, but he had always been very tall in front of this brother-in-law, and he really couldn't pull his face, so he begged again and again.
Looking at the back of the shopkeeper Cui, I can only pin my hopes on my sister, and I hope that my sister will not let herself down.
……
"Squeak".
Shopkeeper Cui pushed the door into the house, and Dong, who had been sitting in the room and pondering, saw this, and hurriedly came up to help Shopkeeper Cui and said helplessly.
"How much have you drunk? Uncomfortable, right? Come, how about a decanting soup? What did my eldest brother tell you? It shouldn't be that hard, right? ”
"But even if it's difficult, I believe you should be able to do it for my eldest brother, after all, my eldest brother has never begged you for anything, you can't push."
Dong's words were full of temptation.
Shopkeeper Cui looked puzzled, and after drinking the sobering soup, he said strangely: "Lady, what are you talking about?" My uncle didn't say anything to me. ”
The smile on Dong's face froze, and he almost didn't hold back, so he could only suppress the fire and ask, "What did you say?" Big brother didn't tell you anything? So what did you talk about? It's been an hour. ”
Shopkeeper Cui yawned and said with drunken eyes.
"I really didn't say anything, I was talking about my business, saying it was a business business...... But I told you that you don't understand, by the way, my brother-in-law seems to have really told me something. ”
Dong Shi instantly pricked up his ears and urged with some anger: "What did you say, what did you say?" How did you respond? ”
Shopkeeper Cui smiled: "What are you doing in such a hurry?" My uncle did tell me, just to give me a little advice, but you also know that I am doing business now, I am following others, and I can't be the master, and I have to listen to Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Shen in this business. ”
When Dong heard this, he was a little anxious and wanted to ask, but the shopkeeper Cui suddenly burped, and then said as if he was emotional.
"Oh, I can see it, I haven't figured it out yet, come here and now listen to your question, I guess the eldest brother is afraid that he regrets it, he should want to go back and do business with our shopkeeper Shen, hahaha......"
Dong's eyes flickered, and he looked at the drunken shopkeeper Cui and was a little angry, this bastard, can you really see it? Why don't you agree?
Shopkeeper Cui shook his head helplessly.
"It's a pity, it's late now, when the shopkeeper Shen found Lord Zhao before, he just wanted to make money together, if Lord Zhao went to the appointment and ate together, he could still negotiate this business."
"You said, my brother-in-law is the most trusted person of Lord Zhao, if he talks and makes peace in the middle, after the matter is completed, he will definitely be indispensable."
Shopkeeper Cui shook his head, a little regretful.
"Don't you know, the business that Shopkeeper Shen wants to do this time is big! It's done, we have to make a lot of money, even if it leaks a little from our fingers, it's enough for us to live a prosperous and prosperous life, oops, it's a pity...... Lord Zhao just didn't agree, not only did he disagree, but he also sent his eldest brother out to refuse. ”
