Chapter 486: Quietly
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Phoenix City is a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and in this ancient city, the two great martial kings on the rivers and lakes today gather here - the boxing king Qin Jubo and the sword king Murong Bai. It is really rare that a small ancient city www.biquge.info a small ancient city has grown up with two great martial kings on the rivers and lakes today! It is also enough to prove that Phoenix City is a good place to breed outstanding people.
Just north of Phoenix, in the mountains nearby, lies a small estate. This manor is not as imposing as the "Longteng Villa" of the boxing king Qin Jubo in Phoenix, nor is it as elegant and beautiful as the "Liujiazhuang" of Liu Junshan, the gun king in Matou City. It looks small and ordinary, like an ordinary and honest yard, plain and neat.
And at this moment, the house in the courtyard, the large window on the far left, the door is still illuminated, and there is a buzzing sound inside. One of the voices sounded very familiar, like the voice of Chen Youneng gambling on the edge of the stones opposite Wang's blacksmith's shop in the evening. But the other voice sounded, soft, like the sound of a mosquito, and it was impossible to hear what he was saying outside.
However, the owner of this manor is also a well-known businessman in Phoenix, and in the minds of the people, he is an extremely honest man. His name is Zhou Ping, and he has a pair of strange eight-character eyebrows, which are obliquely directed towards the sideburns on both sides; His nose has a narrow, undulating bridge, a wide lower wing, and a slightly inward hook at the tip. Especially when he laughs, the flesh of his cheeks is pulled tightly at the base of his ears, making it seem that his nose is hooked more fiercely.
It is said that such a man is a good businessman, shrewd and capable, and calculating, but in fact it is true, once in Phoenix, he relied on some of his mother-in-law's dowry and the jewelry that his mother-in-law brought from her mother's house. opened an open-air tea shop in Phoenix City for a period of time, and after that, the couple accumulated some capital and opened this "Piaoxiang Tea House" in Phoenix. Since the opening and operation of Piaoxiang Teahouse, business has been very good, attracting a large number of visitors from outside the city every day to patronize the business of their teahouse.
Having such a business is purely a good way to operate and be a good person. Every customer who walks into their teahouse feels like they have returned to their own home, feeling warm and valued. In this way, the "Piaoxiang Teahouse" is known to everyone inside and outside Phoenix, and at the same time, people are also full of admiration and admiration for Zhou Ping, the well-run boss behind him.
Many people only heard his name but did not see Zhou Ping in Phoenix, and some people came to his teahouse in order to see him. As a result, after meeting, they all chuckled in their hearts and issued a question mark from the boss: "Ah, he looks like this, he has done such a good job and is so famous!"
However, there are also many people who have had such a question after seeing him: "In this year of heroes in troubled times, he is so famous in Phoenix City, is it really the effect of him in running a business?"
As a result, he found nothing, and found that he stayed in the "Piaoxiang Teahouse" all day, and only when the teahouse business was about to close, he handed over all the affairs of the teahouse to the second Xiaoer Xu Cong to greet him. He drove a light carriage out of the gate of the teahouse, along the north-south street in front of him, and drove north, straight back to the small courtyard he had built at the foot of the North Mountain in Phoenix City.
But in fact, he is a giant whale lurking in Phoenix City. His methods are definitely better than the two deceased martial kings in Phoenix; just because he has been living in Phoenix for decades without anyone knowing the bottom number, this kind of wisdom in doing things quietly is already quite amazing! How can ordinary people achieve it!
At this moment, the light in his living room was indeed still on, and the person he met alone was indeed the round-faced fat man Chen Youneng. Chen Youneng is a well-known snake and gangster in Phoenix, and when the two martial kings in Phoenix City were still smiling and proud of the rivers and lakes, Chen Youneng was often called by these two people to help them do something hurtful.
However, he has such a distinct advantage - he will not say some things in front of others about another person's relationship and cooperation with him, because the boxing champion Qin Jubo and the sword king Murong Bai have also used him and let him do a lot of things for himself. Even, for a time, it reached a very high level of importance. Even when he reached such a height in the minds of others, Chen Youneng never exposed anything about him and Zhou Ping, the owner of "Piaoxiang Teahouse".
From this point, it is further confirmed that Zhou Ping is not a simple person, and he is completely the kind of character who is not obvious. His appearance is not outstanding, and he is even a little obscene, who would have thought that he is such a person who is not good-looking, but he occupies an important position in people's hearts!
His small courtyard is small and quiet, but his living room is spacious. This is a large rectangular living room, with four sets of tea houses on both sides, and at the front of the hall, a pair of tea houses of the same style are placed against the wall. In the center is a light yellow velvet tablecloth covered with tassels, and on top of it is a small, large-bottomed painted faience vase with a bouquet of red and yellow daffodils.
Zhou Ping, the owner of the small courtyard, sat in the front of the living room, on a square wooden chair to the left of the tea house placed against the wall, leaning to the right so that his right elbow was supported on the smooth table of the small coffee table on the right. Because, the visitor Chen Youneng sat on his right, on the first of the four chairs placed in the window.
In the middle of the living room, a table covered with goose yellow velvet cloth is placed next to a vase with flowers, and an oil lamp with a paper cover is placed next to it. The bright light casts the pale yellow light on the paper cover in every place in the large living room, and also makes the faces of the host Zhou Ping and the visitor Chen Youneng shiny and soft.
"Who didn't you meet on the road?" Zhou Ping asked Chen Youneng in a soft voice with a calm tone, just like greeting visitors in a teahouse.
Chen Youneng's fat face immediately flashed with an expression of admiration, and said with a smile: "It was when I went out of the street and entered the mountain road here that I met Feng Liben, who was selling firewood, we didn't say hello, he went his, I went mine, and none of us cared about anyone!"
Zhou Ping listened carefully, nodded quietly, and when the other party finished speaking, he smiled, revealing the bucktooth on his right;
However, he himself is always easy to ignore this, and he still smiled at Chen Youneng, "Then how did you do today? Did you encounter any trouble? Where did all those people who went to the rivers and lakes go?"
Chen You was able to answer these three questions fluently.
