Chapter 318: Jin Ni Qian
The master and apprentice got up and went downstairs, and the shopkeeper who was dozing off on the counter, heard the sound of the stairs, hurriedly rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened his mouth, snorted, stretched his waist, and slowly stood up from where he was sitting, and said, "What do the two guest officers order?"
"I've got a jar of wine, plus some ready-made appetizers. Then the woodcutter came to the counter, and took out a small pocket from his bosom, opened it, and took out a handful of loose pieces of silver, and laid it on the counter.
"Okay——!" The shopkeeper looked at the scattered silver on the counter, his eyes lit up, and when he saw that the business was coming, the spirit head came immediately, and hurriedly ran to the back kitchen.
Here, the woodcutter and the ancestor chose a clean table and sat down.
The woodcutter looked at the old ancestor with a sad face and said with concern: "Master, why do I look at you now, you are really sad and worried, when you are far away from this Youzhou City, you are still smiling all day long, and now that you have arrived in this place, you are ......?!"
As soon as he said this, he heard a "creak" of the door, and in the downstairs rooms, several heads poked out at the same time, and glanced at the place where the two were sitting.
The two of them knew that this was arranged by the other head when they were leaving, but they still inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, what was this for? This was to guard the two of them as thieves! If they wanted to leave, who would be able to stop them?!
The woodcutter was already in a bit of a bad mood, but now he found an outlet, slapped the table vigorously, and said repeatedly: "What is the purpose of waiting for such a sneaky person, if the two of us want to leave, will you wait for any of the people to stop it?"
The woodcutter slapped the table and shouted, which frightened the crowd, and hurriedly shrank the other head back, for fear of annoying the woodcutter.
Because they have seen with their own eyes the power of this woodcutter today, who dares to fight him, after retreating to the door, the heart is still "thumping", for fear that he will enter this house and find trouble with this crowd.
They covered their chests in the room and thought for a long time, feeling that what the woodcutter said was also true, there was really no need to monitor the master and apprentice, even if they really found out that something was wrong, then who could get these two?
So it's best to stay in this house obediently, but don't go to the trouble again!
The shopkeeper rushed out with two plates of dishes in the back kitchen, and said repeatedly: "What's the matter? What happened?
When he ran closer, he saw that there were no outsiders, put down the dish, scratched his head with his hand, and stared at the woodcutter in a daze.
When the woodcutter saw this, he hurriedly shouted, "Why are you so frightened, who says what's wrong? I think you're still doing your own thing, and I've been waiting for half a day, where is your wine?"
When the shopkeeper heard his words, he suddenly came to his senses, and felt that he was a little out of shape, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "I'll take it for the two guest officers, it's okay, it's okay!"
As he spoke, he hurried to the counter and picked up a jar of wine, the wine bowl and two pairs of chopsticks, and came to the table of the two.
After taking it out of his pocket for a long time, he took out a handful of big money, put it on the table, and said flatteringly: "Two, the broken silver just now doesn't need so much at all, this is the change I was looking for." ”
With a great effort, he pulled the cork off the jar and poured it into the bowl in front of them.
The two of them did not say a word, but after a few bites, and then after a few mouthfuls of food, the woodcutter poured the wine again, picked up the bowl and said loudly, "Come, Master, it's done!" and drank the wine with a crane.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "Master, there must be something hidden from me!"
When the ancestor heard his words, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately picked up the wine bowl, and then coughed twice because it was dry, and then sighed, and said in a low voice: "Oh, my good boy, I originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to that Liu Rengong......"
As soon as the ancestor's words were said here, I saw the woodcutter slap the table vigorously, and the wine bowl shook Lao Gao, and then shouted: "You bold shopkeeper, you actually fool us with such a trick, it's really bold!"
This ancestor was stunned, what's wrong with this apprentice, and what happened?
The shopkeeper jumped out of the back kitchen and shouted, "Guest, what's wrong?"
As soon as I entered the front hall, I saw the woodcutter slapping the table and saying sharply: "Your shop, have I ever owed you the silver taels in the store?"
"No, no!" said the shopkeeper, shaking his head like a rattle.
Then why did you treat me like this ......?!"
The shopkeeper and the ancestor were stunned.
The shopkeeper kept rolling his eyes and said, "This master, you can figure it out!"
"Let's talk about it after we figure it out?" said this, and slapped the big money on the table with a palm, and the big money was immediately shattered and turned into a pile of dirt.
The first time the ancestor saw this situation, his heart immediately became uneasy, and his eyes looked at his apprentice, what a matter of time!
It turned out that the woodcutter was casually stretching out his hand to the change that was found for them, and he talked with the master for a long time, trying to figure out what the master was thinking, but seeing the master's still indifferent appearance, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
In this hurry, his hands naturally strengthened, and there were a few crisp sounds, and the few big coins in his hands were actually shattered.
That's why he shouted at this shopkeeper, wanting to see if he had eaten the bear's heart leopard gall, and dared to deceive their master and apprentice so boldly.
The shopkeeper came to the table of the two in a frightened manner, and when he saw that the woodcutter had broken all the money, he not only sighed and stomped his feet, "Oh, why did you smash this big money in a good manner!"
"Big money, this can also be called money ......?!" The woodcutter's eyes widened and he looked strangely at the shopkeeper.
After the shopkeeper hurriedly looked around, he said, "This guest officer doesn't know anything." The entire Youzhou City is using this Jin mud to burn a lot of money, so how can we deceive the two of us......
The woodcutter and the old ancestor were not only stunned when they heard this, but their eyebrows furrowed and said, "Where did the real copper coin go, why do you want to replace it with this Jin mud coin......?!"
"Oh, these two guest officials, the so-called real big money, have already been buried in their own cave on the mountain by Liu Rengong, the festival of Youzhou City!"
