Chapter 53: The Little Bridge Flows
The water under the South Stone Bridge is rattling.
Langyun Tower, with red lanterns hanging on the tall door beams, wrapped in warm red light in the veil, swaying and moving.
The soft singing is endless, the bell is memorizing the menu, and the dishes are shuttling around.
In the box of No. C of the ground character, Liang Qu pushed the door open, and the warm wind greeted him.
"A table of talents! What a talent! Su Su is like the wind of Panasonic, high and slow, no wonder he can become a master of Yang's apprentice! ”
Lin Di, who was dressed in dark blue, stood up to greet him and shouted praise.
"Dog Songbao has long said that he knows a friend in Yixing City, extraordinary bearing, not a thing in the pool, I thought that there could be no such a character in the small Yixing City, it is the dog short-sighted and exaggerated, but now I look at it, it is really so!
It's really Lin Moufubo, I haven't witnessed Brother Liang's demeanor as soon as possible, oops, I'm sorry, I was rude, I was too excited, relying on my old age to say wildly, Brother Liang, Brother Liang! I'll punish myself with three cups first! ”
After that, Lin Di drank three glasses of wine, and his face was slightly red.
Lin Songbao: "......"
When have I ever said such a thing? And you call him Brother Liang, what do I call him? Liang Bo?
Liang Qu: "......"
This person is good at saying, why is this generation so messy?
Unconsciously, Liang Qu was pulled into the seat by Lin Di, pointing to the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy next to him; "Introduction, contemptible eldest son, Lin Fuyun! Fuyun, say hello to your Uncle Liang! ”
Eldest son?
Liang Qu looked at Lin Songbao behind him in surprise, but saw him nodding.
Oh, Liang Qu finally understood why Lin Songbao, as the son of the owner of the fishing pen, had to work in the fishing pen every day.
Lin Fuyun stood up and saluted: "Uncle Liang is good." ”
The corners of Liang Qu's mouth twitched, you kid don't think I'll be happy if you call me Uncle Liang, right?
"Don't call me Brother Liang, I'm not old."
"Then I dare to call it, nephew?"
Liang Qu was silent for a long time: "Call me by my name." ”
"How can that work, it's rude."
"Then Liang Gongzi."
"Okay." Lin Di was a little disappointed, turned his head and let the food be served, and clapped his hands at the same time, and in an instant, a fragrant wind hit.
Three women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked in, Liang Qu's eyes widened, and he saw them bending down to salute, so two of them played music and one danced.
Okay, okay, you can play this for me, right?
"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, we only enjoy dancing."
Lin Di said with a smile, he had inquired clearly long before he came, knowing that Liang Qu was thin-skinned and embarrassed to even go on a blind date.
Liang Qu's face was slightly red, his hand was holding a hollow fist, and he coughed: "It's okay." ”
The next thing is to push the cup and change the lamp, but Liang Qu didn't drink, only drank tea, and ate plate after plate of dishes.
Langyunlou tastes really good, there are actually chili peppers in the dish, Liang Qu has never seen this thing before, and he thought Dashun didn't have it, but now it seems that he is too poor, so he can't see it.
"This is the spice brought back by the Western Army last year, and it is only popular this year that it is cultivated, the color is bright red, the taste is spicy, and it is drenched in sweat, but there is a different kind of comfort, I don't know if Liang Gongzi is used to eating it."
"Eat habitually, eat habitually." Liang Qu stuffed meat with a big mouth.
"Then I don't know if Liang Gongzi can take care of one or two of my fishing pen, and I will give 20% of the income of the fishing pen every year." Lin Di poured tea and peach blossoms on his face, "Of course, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the canopy boat promised to you will be returned to Liang Gongzi, after all, it is returned to the original owner." ”
"Of course not."
"Hahaha, yes, that's great...... Well? Lin Di found that it was wrong halfway through laughter, and was embarrassed in place, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and asked again, "What did Liang Gongzi ......say just now?"
"I said no."
Lin Di was dumbfounded, he looked for Liang Qu just to use Liang Qu's identity to help his fishing pen prestige, so that he could go to other ports to seize business.
Those who can open a fishing pen have more or less some relationship, and it is not easy to do it, with the help of Liang Qu, with the name of Yang Shi's personal protection, it will be much simpler.
But how can you refuse so simply?
You must know that if things can be done, Liang Qu doesn't have to do anything, he lies down for a year, and his income is hundreds of taels!
"Liang Gongzi, it may be that I didn't make it clear just now, as long as you agree, the annual harvest of the fishing pen in the future will be ...... thirty percent."
Liang Qu put down his chopsticks and burped.
"You can't give it all to me, I eat the food, I take the boat, but I won't do things, and I won't ask for the income of the fishing pen."
Lin Di was quite disappointed, but he didn't dare to get angry: "Can Liang Gongzi tell me why?" ”
"Because I'm a fisherman."
Lin Di's pupils shrank.
Liang Qu moved his stool and got up: "Bullying your own people to make money, I will take this money, okay, I'm full, goodbye, by the way, your dancing is very beautiful, and the people are also very beautiful." ”
"Gongzi Xie compliments."
The three women curtsied.
Liang Qu pushed the door and left.
Lin Di came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted Lin Songbao: "Quick, send Liang Gongzi." ”
"No need, I'll walk by the river alone, blowing the cold wind, comfortable."
Liang Qu disappeared, and the voice disappeared into everyone's ears.
Walking out of Langyun Tower, a gust of cold wind poured straight into the neckline, Liang Qu shivered, and the sleepiness after being full was completely dispelled.
The meal was not meaningless, at least he took back his own canopy boat.
It was a good ship, it had been a long time, but it didn't affect the use at all, the hull was wide enough and big, and the whole person could completely lie down and sleep, which was much more comfortable than the current sampan.
As for the income from the fishing pen......
How to say it, Liang Qu actually has a compromise solution.
That is, don't want the 20% income, but let Lin Di reduce the lease fee by 20%, or some other distribution method, which can make the fishermen feel better.
But...... That may harm Liang Qu's own interests.
The fishermen said that it was pitiful, and how kind it was......
Whether it is not to make a profit, or to make a small profit, but instead it becomes a rent reduction for them, the fishermen may thank him at first, but after a long time, the fishermen gradually get used to the reduced rental fee, and they are still poor, and they will feel that the beam canal as the umbrella of the fishing fence is hateful.
Besides, what does Master and Senior Brother think?
was accepted by Master Yang as a personal disciple, and Liang Qu gradually understood one thing.
When you don't have the ability, a good reputation is useless, but as long as you show a little talent, a good reputation can bring unexpected gains.
Liang Qu thinks he is a good person, but he may not be so good.
He can buy buns for the snotty imp out of his own pocket, but he will give up cooperating with the fishing pen to help the fishermen for fear of contaminating his feathers.
The flowing water under the South Stone Bridge rattled and hit the shore stones, rolling up white foam.
"Alas, tomorrow life is better, and there are so many troubles in plain life."
Liang Qu let out a long sigh, he crossed his hands behind his head, paced slowly, and hummed a song that was completely different from the tune of the restaurant singer.
"How profligate I am, how filthy I am, a thousand pages of pen and ink to write my guilt.
My arrogance, my thoughts, clinging to this ugly skin.
How noble you are, how arrogant you are, rice bags and wine bags, and people look like dogs.
Your hypocrisy, your impermanence, are embedded in your delicate skin. ”
The cold wind swept across the street, and Liang Qu felt that the wind came from the river, bringing a familiar smell.
