Chapter 16 Hu Spicy Soup Talks about Fengyue
The spring breeze in February is like scissors.
To be able to cut out the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, even if it is the spring breeze in February, it can't. If there is a hand holding scissors, it must be a god in the sky.
The Yinyue Fang on the bank of the West Lake is famous for a vinegar fish from the West Lake. In the early spring, the lake is not yet fat, but it has not affected the business of Yinyuefang.
Because there is a benefit here, the banquet noodles of 100 taels of silver are also made, and the steamed buns with 3 yuan are also sold. The people who come are all guests, but they don't like the poor and the rich. It's just that those who wear short clothes are also very knowledgeable, and they won't really spend a lot of money to come here just to have a good time, so the majority of the guests are rich.
Ye Li and Shepherd did not have this kind of consciousness.
In the private seat by the window near the lake, a plate of white-flour steamed buns, a big bowl of spicy soup, two teenagers sit opposite each other. Passing guests will inevitably take a few more looks, but it will not affect the interest of the sheep in the slightest.
"I didn't expect that when I first came to Jiangnan, I would be able to encounter such a grand event. If you hadn't followed me, would you have such good luck with this wood?" The shepherd was still wearing the patched green cloth cotton jacket, with a hint of a sneer on his face, but in the spring breeze on the shore of the West Lake, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"The three major oirans compete for beauty, and the Yin dance girl who dances the world is even more likely to recruit guests to the curtain, such a good thing is rare to encounter in fifty years. ”
"But, what does this have to do with us?" Ye Li looked out the window, a light breeze blew, and gentle ripples rippled on the surface of the lake.
The shepherd was chewing a piece of white-flour steamed bun in his mouth, and his mouth was a little vague, "I said, there are many good-looking women in the world, don't always worry about your little girl of the Wu family." When you see that dancing girl, I'm sure you've forgotten everything. ”
Ye Li turned his head, stared at the shepherd's face, and looked at it for a while, "I remember that you said it yourself at the beginning, and you can find out any news." But why haven't we heard you mention this matter since we arrived in Hangzhou for half a month?"
"Suzhou and Hangzhou are the world's wealthies, and the firm we are looking for, even if the head office is not in Hangzhou, there must be a branch. In the past few days, I have inquired about the fact that there are 180 high-quality businesses in Hangzhou, and there are more than a dozen of the top ones. Besides, if something like the loss of money is lost, the master's family will definitely hide it strictly, and where is it so easy to inquire about it. The shepherd also turned his head to look out the window, and a painting boat was slowly passing by on the lake, because it was in the daytime, without the reflection of those lights, after all, there was a lot less charm. "Still, I finally got some questions. Perhaps, what you want to investigate will really fall on the event in front of you. ”
"I heard that the century-old brand Desheng Long Qi family in Jiangnan, the third young master Qi Hanfeng, who is known as the "double master of books and swords", has admired Miss Yin Wu for a long time. It's only because the door of Miss Yin's entry has been closed that she has no chance to get close. This time, Miss Yin is high-minded, and he will definitely not miss this opportunity to become a guest of the scene. I also heard that the other two major families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Yao family and the Yu family, have always been at odds with the Qi family, especially the Yao family's Yao Er, who is a sworn enemy with Qi Hanfeng. ”
"In the past two days, Hangzhou City has been a place where giant merchants in the south of the Yangtze River gather, and the people we are looking for are only afraid of being among them. Therefore, we must find a way to get close to those people, and maybe we can find out the clues. If you want to get close to those people, you must first board Miss Yin's painting boat. If you are lucky enough to see Miss Yin dance again, hehe...... Hehe......" As soon as she said of Miss Yin, the shepherd's face was full of intoxication, as if she was soft in her arms at this moment.
"I listened to the guests in the inn chatting, those ordinary painting boats in the West Lake cost twenty taels of silver at a time, listen to you, if you want to see the Yin girl, I am afraid that the silver is not a few. Do you have silver?" Ye Li asked with a serious face.
The shepherd scratched his head, his expression slightly embarrassed, "That's a problem. ”
After hesitating for a moment, his expression soon became happy again, "How can a good man like me make a difficult mistake for such a trivial matter as silver, this matter is wrapped up in me." If you can't do it properly, you will be underestimated. Eat, eat, I'll take you somewhere when you're done. ”
said excitedly, but accidentally knocked over the spicy soup on the table.
............
There are two types of businesses that are the most profitable.
One is a money bank, and the other is a pawnshop. The average person is the least willing to deal with these two businesses, because that is often when they are at their most destitute.
Looking at the three big golden characters in front of him, Ye Li was a little dazed. He knew what this kind of place was for, but he didn't understand why the shepherd had brought him here. Thinking about this way, this guy eats and drinks mostly for nothing, is there any valuable treasure on his body?
The nursing home at the door of the pawnshop is well-informed, and all kinds of customers have encountered it. Sometimes, the more shabby-dressed the guest, the more profitable it is. Some time ago, a ragged old man went to the Shunyi Dang of the Han family, took out a piece of torn paper, and after several veterans of the court paid their eyes, it turned out to be the true handiwork of Yan Huanzhi of the previous dynasty, which spread wildly in this line at that time, and the owner of Shunyi Dang was also secretly proud of this matter for a long time.
Therefore, even if Ye Li and Shepherd really didn't look like rich people, no one stopped him.
"There are guests arriving ......" After a habitual shout, no one deliberately came up to greet Ye Li and the others. The kind of good thing that picks up a big leak is hard to find, otherwise everyone who opens a pawnshop in the world will be rich and rival the country. The first thing the guys in the pawnshop practiced was their eyesight, and naturally they could see that Ye Li and the others didn't have any big oil and water to fish. Those small things and small pieces naturally don't need to be too attentive.
"This wishful dang, but the pawnshop can be counted, just in Hangzhou City, there are several branches. Shepherd pulled Ye Li, walked to a pear blossom wood coffee table, sat down with a loud speaker, grabbed the pastries in the porcelain plate and stuffed them into his mouth, and rolled his eyes upward, "Where is the shopkeeper of your family?" ”
There were two people in long shirts sitting on the counter, who seemed to be talking about something, talking about it, and showing a lewd smile from time to time. They didn't notice that there were so many people outside.
In addition, the courtier, who was making calculations, heard Ye Li's words, but he glanced at it expressionlessly, and then lowered his head and crackled.
There were only two guys who greeted guests in the hall, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and said in their hearts that these two really took themselves as characters. But after all, it was a leg and foot meal, and it finally came up.
"The two...... Childe, I don't know if there are any treasures to store in Xiaodang, just go to the cabinet over there to do it. "This is the kind words of the pawnshop, and before you see anything, you will call it a treasure. Once something catches the eye, no matter how good it is, it becomes a shout of "moth-eaten rat bites, bare plates and hairless". This is the rule handed down by the ancestors of the pawn since ancient times.
The shepherd didn't answer, but only glanced at the fellow, still eating his pastry and looking at the sky.
The guy said in his heart, don't see through the shabby of this kid, he looks quite thoughtful, if he is a woman, he will look at him like this, I am afraid that he will make a big red face. I heard that the second master of the shopkeeper's family doesn't love women, so he will break his sleeves Longyang, if he sees this kid, he can't say that he will be spoiled in the room. But looking at this kid's poor appearance, I'm afraid that he won't have that blessing.
Ye Li couldn't sit still, and looked at the shepherd, but the shepherd didn't pay attention to it.
The old courtier, who was going to take the plate, finally stopped the crackling sound, slowly paced out of the cabinet, looked at the shepherd, and still did not have the slightest expression on his face, "This little brother, if there are any treasures, you might as well take them out, let me take a look, I can still do the lord of a hundred and ten taels of silver." ”
"Oh, those thousands of taels of silver, I don't know if you can do it, lord?"
Lao Chao Fengxin said, where did these two madmen come from, and they actually dared to be ruyi and mess around. His face was silent, but he glanced at the fellow, and he was about to drive people away.
The shepherd put his hand into his arms, took a small cloth bag, and put it on the coffee table, "I wonder how many taels of silver this is worth?"
............
The shopkeeper of this wishful house was originally a small guy under the old club's door, and he served the old club for decades, and finally got out of the way and was sent out to take charge of this pawnshop. When he was a subordinate, his eyesight was the most active, and after the movement here was big, he looked out. The two teenagers in front of him looked inconspicuous, but they always made him feel strange. So he decided to come and see for himself, even if this young man didn't have any good things, it was just a few more taels of silver, and it would be considered a good fate.
The shopkeeper came out, and when the guy naturally stepped aside. The old courtier wanted to say something, but the shopkeeper waved his hand, picked up the small cloth bag on the table, took out a small object from it, glanced at it casually, and smiled at the shepherd: "This thing is Xiaodang accepted." Quickly wrap these two sons with thirty taels ......", at this point, the voice stopped abruptly. He turned his gaze to the object in his hand again, his face became more and more solemn, and his hands, which had always been stable, trembled slightly, as if the weight of the object made him a little unbearable.
Half a pillar of incense passed, and the shopkeeper suddenly let out a wry smile and shouted into the cabinet: "Brother Wen Fang, come and take a look at this." ”
