The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 260 Shanxi Merchant Qiao Family

Zhao Changhe couldn't see the look of the proprietress, and couldn't tell if there was anything special about the words, but he didn't take it seriously. He just smiled slightly, shook the menu and asked: "It seems that they are all holding this hand and that hand. I don't feel very interested. Since Jiangnan osmanthus wine is available, how about Jiangnan Xiaochao?"

The proprietress smiled and said, "Most people go to the countryside to do as the Romans do. When they go to a foreign land, they prefer to try the local specialties. How can anyone go to the north of the Yangtze River to seek the south of the Yangtze River?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Just a question, isn't there?"

The proprietress's eyes fluttered: "It's not that I don't have to, I just need to add money."

"Does it mean that rare things are more expensive?"

"It means that it is more troublesome to make special ones." The proprietress said: "No one usually needs different ingredients, utensils, and seasonings. If they are kept there for a few days, they will be broken. Naturally, they will not be kept in stock. If you want to order, we will go out now Buy, of course you have to pay more for the cost and labor, but don't say we are killing your pigs. Is it fair?"

Zhao Changhe clapped his hands and said with a smile: "There are reasons and evidence, and it is indeed fair."

"Hey, Sanniang!" The drinkers were upset: "Why do you talk to this kid endlessly when he comes here? He's not that handsome. His body looks good, and he can make a lot of money here. !"

Sanniang glared at everyone: "I can talk to whoever I like, can you guys control me?"

Someone said: "Is it because you want to eat Jiangnan cuisine? Then we can order it too."

Zhao Changhe sighed, as long as you are the ones who lick it, it would be fine if they didn't say that you are the first man, so why bother.

Sure enough, Sanniang laughed and said: "Because he doesn't want to show off. Then my old lady is a little purer, this is the way of hospitality."

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Changhe dropped the menu: "Just order a portion of this shredded leg of lamb, no extra trouble."

Sanniang felt a little bored, and continued to ask a little perfunctorily: "Do you need to chat with me? It's very pure."

Zhao Changhe could see her perfunctory taste, so he simply said: "I want to eat, your smell affects my appetite."

"Bah." Sanniang touched her nose, twisted her waist and scolded as she walked, "Hurry up and get some wine, why are you dawdling there!"

Seeing that the bowl of water was flat, everyone stopped being jealous, and started chatting about themselves again with a smile. Someone said to Zhao Changhe: "Brother, many people have tried this trick of pretending not to be interested in it over the years.

Zhao Changhe smiled, but didn't answer.

It makes everyone feel itchy for Sanniang just like you, as for...Huangfuqing has the same body shape, similar in allure, and Sanniang's coquettishness is too much, not as good as Huangfuqing, which is moderate, Huangfuqing is also noble Well, Huangfu is still in love!

To tell the truth, with jewels and jade in front, I really don't have much interest. God knows which big boss's ban is it, so I have to provoke it after eating too much.

Soon the shredded leg of lamb and sweet-scented osmanthus wine were brought up, and Zhao Changhe gave Xiaoer an ingot of broken silver by the way, and asked him to take care of Wu Zai, eat and think about problems by himself.

The conversation between him and Sanniang was all about testing each other. Just like Jiangnan cuisine, no matter whether the ingredients are available or not, as long as someone can cook it, it means that the cooks are from Jiangnan, not locally hired. It can be seen that this is a small group organization composed of Daxia people and Jiangnan people, and it is not just buying a sweet-scented osmanthus wine to sell here.

And Sanniang said that although some people can do it, everyone doesn't eat it like this. There is no regular supply of Jiangnan ingredients here, which proves that there is no long-term communication with Jiangnan, so don't try it. At the same time, it also tells you that if you want to order something, you can add money, and the deal is fair.

How can these drinkers who are full of mountains and mountains and waists understand?

Judging from the hint that Sanniang can be traded, if it is said that it is a person from Huangfu Yongxian, a person from Zhenmasi, or a person from a certain force in the grassland, these three possibilities can almost be ruled out, and Yingwu or Sixiang The people who teach are all reasonable.

In fact, neither of these two possibilities can be trusted too much. I don't have a token of the Four Elephants Cult, so I'm considered an enemy in the perception of the general audience of the Four Elephants Cult. It's just that the priority is relatively low. God knows what will happen if I bump into their hands.

The people of Ying Wu, from the standpoint of the organization, say that they buy and sell information fairly, but in fact, the specifics are not necessarily the same among the various responsible persons. After spending so long here, who knows if there is any tendency to appear, and everyone also has no friendship, so how dare they trust indiscriminately?

But since his identity has not been revealed, it should still be possible to buy some less sensitive information under a pseudonym.

Just thinking about it, two more people came in outside the door, Zhao Changhe glanced subconsciously, and his eyes became a little cold.

It was the leader of the caravan that night, a middle-aged man and a young man.

Sanniang leaned over to Zhao Changhe again, and asked with an apologetic smile: "Brother, there are guests here, and it happens that only your table is vacant, can someone set up a table?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Sanniang's business here is really good."

Sanniang laughed: "The location here is good. The outsiders just entered the market, and when they saw the wine flag, they all swallowed their mouths."

Zhao Changhe nodded, this position is really good, isn't that how he came here: "Speaking of which, if I don't want to take a table, will San Niang drive me away or drive them away?"

Sanniang sighed and persuaded: "Why do you have to be so lonely when you are away from home? There are many friends and many paths."

Listening to the conversation here, the two people seemed impatient, and stood beside Zhao Changhe on one left and one on the right: "Brother, they are all customers from Zhongyuan, have you passed?"

Do you feel like you are from the Central Plains now? Why didn't you say you were from the Central Plains when you sold food to the Hu people during the war?

Zhao Changhe knew that he might be able to dig out a lot of information by chatting with them falsely and perfunctorily, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt disgusted and couldn't pretend, so he said coldly: "It's reasonable for Sanniang to negotiate with me about this kind of thing." Well, it’s okay for me to give San Niang some face. We haven’t finished negotiating here yet. When will it be your turn to speak up and say I’ve passed? It’s all right now. Who rides with whom."

"Toast, don't eat fine wine!" The young man's eyes showed fierceness, and he slapped him suddenly.

All the drinkers are refreshed again, and there are many plays in Huangshaji, and there are no repeats every day.

With a "snap", it was clearly the young man who did it, but what everyone saw was that he was slapped on the face. What, spread your hands and look, bloody teeth.

People didn't see clearly how Zhao Changhe slapped him back!

Sanniang looked at Zhao Changhe with great interest, thoughtfully.

The middle-aged man was furious: "How courageous!"

"Choke!" There was a sound of drawing a sword, and a sword pierced Zhao Changhe's back heart.

Zhao Changhe was still eating leg of lamb and drinking, his body twisted slightly for some reason, and the sword passed under his ribs, and then he easily clamped the opponent's hand under his armpit with a random clamp, and with a "click", the opponent's wrist was actually caught by him. Suddenly, the screams resounded in the hall.

Everyone gasped, and the way they looked at Zhao Changhe changed a little.

This man's martial arts are different, the main reason is that his strength is a bit outrageous, what is the concept of cutting off a human hand under his armpit?

Someone subconsciously made an armpit movement, then shook his head, feeling that he couldn't do this no matter what, what kind of divine power is this?

Zhao Changhe let go of the man, and said calmly: "This kind of trash dares to provoke..."

The two looked at Zhao Changhe in shock and fear, retreated to the door in a hurry, and said cruelly: "You wait!"

Zhao Changhe grabbed two chopsticks, wanted to kill them, but put them down after thinking about it. These two people should be the leaders of the caravan, and there may be some needs for evidence collection, so it's not time to kill them yet. What's more, if thousands of people on the other side retaliate, there will be no way to do things here.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changhe turned his head and asked Sanniang who was watching the show with twinkling eyes, and said calmly: "Sanniang, they beat your guests, but you didn't say anything? Is it because they have more money than me, or because of Sanniang? Don't protect your guests at all?"

Sanniang laughed as if waking up from a dream: "Oh, quarrels and fights in the store are common, I didn't realize this nature for a while, so I will forgive you, brother."

Zhao Changhe said: "So if they find someone to take revenge, will Sanniang protect her guest?"

Sanniang smiled and said: "The inn is a safe zone, no matter who you are, don't touch my lady's guests. After you go out, you will not be responsible."

Why didn't you say it was a safe zone just now? Zhao Changhe was noncommittal: "That's fine... By the way, does Sanniang know them?"

Sanniang said with a smile: "What? You still want to take the initiative to take revenge and kill the weeds?"

"Isn't it possible?"

"Then I advise you to take it easy, there are so many of them..."

"So who are they?"

"Second Master Qiao of Qiao's family in Jinzhong, it's probably the first time that young man has come out, and I don't know him."

Sure enough, it was a Shanxi merchant... Zhao Changhe's mind turned in a big circle, and he didn't think of anyone from this Qiao family who was on the troubled times list, so he asked, "What kind of business do they do, and who is there in the family? Is Sanniang familiar?"

If there was deep meaning in Sanniang's eyes: "There is news, but you have to pay more."
