Xi Zhengnian took out a heavy gray cloth bag from the counter, although this bag is not big, but the five hundred gold coins in it are still a little eye-catching, he pushed the bag in front of Chen Su's eyes, Chen Su opened the bag and glanced inside, nodded with satisfaction, "Shopkeeper Xi really does what he says." As he spoke, he pushed the bag back again, "You keep the cost of making the clothes yourself, and I'll take the rest." ”
"This ......" Xi Zhengnian rubbed his palms with a smile, "The gray cloth clothes cost fifty gold coins, we have already agreed before, and the rest will be given to the guest officer by me Xi Zhengnian, what do you think?"
Chen Su smiled and arched his hand towards Xi Zhengnian, "In this way, thank you to the shopkeeper." ”
"It should. Xi Zhengnian was still smiling, looking at Chen Su a little embarrassed, "So, that little old man is going to do it himself?" Chen Su nodded in agreement, Xi Zhengnian tore open the bag, reached in and counted fifty gold coins out, put them on the counter with gold, and looked at his eyes from time to time Golden light, "Guest officer, little old man said something that doesn't matter, so many gold coins are not a small amount, you just carry it with you, I am worried about your safety." ”
"Did the shopkeeper hear something?" Chen Su said to Xi Zhengnian half-jokingly, and at the same time casually closed the mouth of the bag and then held it in his hand, because he didn't know the origin of the three people who were let go by him in the two waves of people last night, but when Chen Su asked like this, Xi Zhengnian immediately became serious, and said respectfully: "Guest officer, this little old man doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but this gold coin is indeed not a small amount, and it must not be convenient for you to walk alone with so many current banks." If you can't trust the little old man, you can also find a money bank to store temporarily. ”
Chen Su smiled, "The shopkeeper is too worried, I will leave this place within two or three days, and it will be inconvenient to save it." ”
"That's, that's. Xi Zhengnian nodded again and again, he also knew that there was a lot of inappropriateness, so he didn't say more, "I don't know if the guest officer wants to go back to his hometown directly after leaving?"
Xi Zhengnian's curiosity has already made Chen Su alert to him, at this time he asked about Chen Su's itinerary, Chen Su solemnly looked at him twice, Xi Zhengnian looked at him with a flickering eye, and after a while, Chen Su smiled, "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, I am wandering alone, I have no relatives for a long time, although it is my hometown, it is no different from the side, as for whether I really returned there after the most remark, I am not sure now, I can't tell where the scenery is beautiful, I will stop, so I am not easy to answer the question of the shopkeeper." ”
"The guest officer is really interested, which makes the little old man envious. Saying that, Xi Zhengnian arched his hand, "But even if you are too long-winded, I still have to say one more thing, the local team to Moji City will leave in two days, if you want to catch a car, it is best to book a seat in advance." ”
Chen Su frowned slightly, this Xi Zhengnian is really an old fox, using this method to test himself, so he pretended to ask for a moment, "I really haven't thought about where I will go after leaving, why don't I trouble the shopkeeper to introduce me to what team is going to Moji City?"
Xi Zhengnian smiled knowingly, "If you want to say that we go to Moji City in Beitong Town, with our foot strength, ordinary people will have to walk for at least more than two months, but we have a Zhoujia car shop here, which will go back and forth to Moji City once a month, and there is a car to travel, which is not only fast but also labor-saving, but the price is a little expensive, but this little money is naturally nothing to put on the guest officer." He glanced at Chen Su secretly, and continued: "In recent years, with the prosperity of the town, more and more people have traveled to and from Moji City, so the Zhou family car dealer has also risen, and in the first two years, it was supported by the city lord, and they were much safer in the name of the city lord along the way, so generally as long as the people who go to Moji City all choose to follow the team of the car dealership, and now it is becoming more and more difficult to book a seat, and ordinary people who want to go to Moji City are afraid that they have to book half a year in advance." ”
"Half a year in advance?" Chen Su was slightly surprised, he didn't expect it to be so popular, but for him, it didn't matter if he followed the car dealer or not, he didn't plan to take any car to Moji City. However, Xi Zhengnian looked at Chen Su so surprised and even a little disappointed, knowing that the other party must be going to Moji City, but he just didn't say it, this person is young, not only has heavy goods, but also has a good cultivation, he must tell the city lord about this matter, but for now he still has to stabilize Chen Su, "Guest officer, Xiao Lao'er said that ordinary people have to wait for half a year, but I just happened to have some friendship with Zhou Chang, the shopkeeper of the car dealership, so if you want to take a ride, with Xiao Lao'er's thin face, a seat is definitely not a problem." ”
Chen Su smiled secretly in his heart, it turned out that he had gone around such a big circle, but the root knot was here, but he was still an ancient well on the surface, "Shopkeeper Xi, in fact, I'm not in a hurry to go back to Moji City, so don't bother you." Saying that, he bowed his hand to Xi Zhengnian, "The shopkeeper is gracious, and he is very disturbed, so he will leave." ”
"Eh?" Xi Zhengnian grabbed Chen Su's wrist, "Speaking from the heart, a distinguished guest like you, the little old man is afraid that he will not have a chance to make friends, it is my honor to do something for you, don't shirk the guest officer, I will accompany you to see Zhou Chang now, and I will leave the matter of returning to Moji City to me." Xi Zhengnian patted his chest, his initiative and enthusiasm seemed to have been friends with Chen Su for many years, and he pulled Chen Su, who was a little dazed, out of the business and went straight to the car dealership in the center of the town, but Xi Zhengnian already had his own plans in his heart.
Chen Su carried the money bag behind him, followed Xi Zhengnian all the way, but half a moment of time to a bustling and lively compound, the two walked straight into the courtyard, from time to time someone greeted Xi Zhengnian, but Xi Zhengnian only nodded in response, until next to a side room, a guy welcomed the two in, Xi Zhengnian then asked: "Lao Jiu, where are you shopkeepers?"
The guy known as Lao Jiu invited the two of them to sit down, bowed down and replied: "Master Xi, you came just in time, the shopkeeper just came back, and you ordered the car in the backyard, do you want me to inform you." ”
"No, I went to see him in person, and I happened to have something to say to him. Xi Zhengnian stood up, bowed his head and said to Chen Su: "You wait here for a while, I'll go and say hello to their shopkeeper." Chen Su nodded, and Xi Zhengnian turned around and said, "Lao Jiu, this is a distinguished guest, help me say hello." ”
"Okay. Lao Jiu leaned in front of Chen Su and bowed, "Sit down, sit, I'll serve you tea." After that, he and Xi Zhengnian went out of the wing room together, leaving only Chen Su to sit in the room alone, and soon Lao Jiu brought a bowl of fragrant tea and two dishes of tea back and put it on the table, "This is made by the chef of this store himself, although it is not delicious, but it is also rare, please taste it, my name is Lao Jiu, just at the door, if there is anything you command, Master Xi went to talk to our shopkeeper, and it should not take long to come back." Chen Su nodded in thanks, picked up the tea bowl and put it in front of his nose and smelled it, this bowl of tea is indeed fragrant and refreshing, not strong or strong, not tepid, and the tea food is also exquisite. Chen Su took a sip of tea, stood up and walked a few steps in the house, just waiting for Xi Zhengnian to come back.
It wasn't until almost a quarter of an hour later that Chen Su sensed someone approaching outside the house, so he sat back in his seat, and soon heard someone shouting loudly outside the door, "Lao Jiu, is the distinguished guest still in the house?"
"Back to the shopkeeper, the guests are still there. ”
"Bear egg thing, didn't you greet Ye Haosheng in the house and stood at the door?"
"The shopkeeper, the villain is clumsy, afraid that the guests don't like to hear what he says, so he is standing here waiting. ”
"Hmph!" Before the words fell, a man with five big and three thick walked in from the door, this person should be Zhou Chang, the shopkeeper of the car dealership, Chen Su hurriedly stood up and looked at the door, only to see that the man was very majestic, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, slender limbs, and a stubble on his face that he hated to grow behind his ears. ”
Chen Su also nodded in return, and at this time, Xi Zhengnian came in from behind, panting and said: "Boss Zhou is so quick-tempered, this way makes the little old man so hurried, he is so tired that he can't even breathe." ”
"Hey, hey. Zhou Chang smiled heartily, "You told me that there is a distinguished guest coming to the door, how can I wait, isn't this in a hurry to come to the front to have a look, come, come, please take a seat." Zhou Chang invited Chen Su and the two to sit down, and shouted outside the door: "Lao Jiu, give the master a few new tea!" After a while, Lao Jiu came in with new tea and put it on again, Zhou Chang waved his hand and waited for Lao Jiu to retreat before he grinned at Chen Su, "Guest officer, I heard Brother Xi say that you are going to Moji City?"
"Hmm. Chen Su nodded, since he had already come here, he couldn't say that he was going to another place, "I also heard that Boss Zhou's car dealership specializes in traveling between the two places, so this is ......."
"It's easy to say!" Zhou Chang gave tea to Chen Su again, "Don't hide it from the guest officer, this is also Brother Xi's face, otherwise I really can't arrange it at this time, but since the guest officer has arrived, I will also tell you the truth, there are still four seats at the moment, which are specially prepared by our car dealer for the most noble guests, so the price is also a little higher." ”
Xi Zhengnian smiled, "Boss Zhou doesn't have to worry about the price, the guests I introduced don't care about this, as long as your car is comfortable enough." ”
"Of course. Zhou Chang smiled, "So if the guest officer wants to go back to Moji City, he can arrange four people below." ”
"Good. Chen Su exhaled lightly, "I'm only alone in the bottom, so just one seat is enough." Saying that, Chen Su stretched out a finger and looked at Zhou Chang, "I don't know how much the seat that Boss Zhou specially prepared for this most noble guest costs?"
Zhou Chang smiled, Chen Su noticed that this person's eyes were narrow and long, and his eyes were almost narrowed, "Guest officer, in the past, we needed fifteen gold hammers for this seat, since you were introduced by Brother Xi, twelve will do!" As he spoke, he looked at Xi Zhengnian, "And I can guarantee that your seat is definitely the best of the four, Brother Xi Zhilu said, I only have eight of the most honorable seats in one trip, even if the envoys of the city lord come, they will sit in this seat." ”
Xi Zhengnian nodded, "Boss Zhou is really refreshing this time, what do you think?"
Twelve gold coins, Chen Suxin calculated it, this price is indeed expensive, but in this way, he can also save a lot of trouble on the road, and smiled at that time, "So thank you Boss Zhou and Shopkeeper Xi!"
