Chapter 75: Uncle Jiu is scheming to make friends
Although this young man could not be compared with his grandson-in-law, judging from his clothes and appearance, he did come from an extraordinary family. Especially this face, it seemed as if I had seen it somewhere before.
As soon as the young man arrived at the store, he saw the waiter running over attentively and welcoming him in with a big smile on his face. Then he heard the waiter say, "Second Master, please go to the second floor."
Then he heard footsteps coming, and in a blink of an eye, the young man called Er Ye had sat in the private room opposite. It was called a private room, but it was just a partition with a few transparent curtains. Yang Dadan saw from the corner of his eye that Er Ye behaved elegantly. As soon as he sat down, he took off his hood and whispered a few words to the waiter beside him, and the waiter went downstairs.
"This way, old sir." Before Yang Dabing could even take a sip of tea, he heard another round of hurried footsteps. It was the waiter who came up to the second floor with the storyteller. The storyteller was probably about the same age as him, no more than four or five years older. He was wearing a faded blue robe, and the clean patches on the shoulders suggested that the old man was a little short of money...
In the private room, the second master stood up to receive the storyteller, and then he saw the two of them whispering something. After a while, the storyteller's bamboo board tapped and a strange singing voice sounded again: The human world in another world is one family, the resignation letter comes with the evening crows; several places of decay flow slowly, when will the god of war revive his family again? As soon as he sang to this point, the voice stopped abruptly.
Yang Dabing felt it was very strange. How could a storyteller stop singing before finishing the lyrics? Then he heard the second master say in a stern voice: "Why, my words don't work?"
Just when I was wondering why this storyteller had started a quarrel with this second master, I heard a cursing voice coming from the next room: "Damn it, why is he stopping halfway through the book? Did I waste my money?" Then I saw a burly man walking out of another private room.
The shopkeeper hurried over and said, "Sir, please don't be angry. I was just about to tell you the second half. Please take a seat. Someone, quickly serve this gentleman a glass of the best Jian Shang Xian."
"What? You've offended me. Do you think that you can solve the problem by drinking a glass of Jian Shang Xian?" The man had a face full of flesh and it was obvious that he wanted to rob his fellow thieves.
The shopkeeper frowned and ordered again: "Come here, serve this gentleman the best Dragon Scar Tears in our shop."
"What bad luck! I don't want any Dragon Scar Tears, I want real gold and silver, just tell me whether you want to give it to me or not?" The man looked like he had the shop in his hands. The noise immediately attracted many customers who were having tea. Everyone commented on it, but no one came out to speak up for justice.
Yang Dabao thought that this was just an ordinary teahouse, but he didn't expect that there was something hidden inside. He was also afraid that Uncle Jiu would disappear during the chaos, so he had to be extra careful.
"Shopkeeper, I think this big brother doesn't need your few coins." Uncle Jiu, who had been hiding his face, suddenly came over and said. The big man heard this and became even more arrogant, holding his head high like a swan.
At this time, Zuantianshu came out and said, "This uncle is right. What this big brother lacks is not dirty money, but wisdom." Then he laughed to himself, causing the surrounding spectators to cover their mouths and laugh. Uncle Jiu also smiled faintly when he heard it.
When the big man saw that he was being laughed at by everyone, he could not stand the loss, so he grabbed the chair beside him and smashed it towards the skinny rat in a domineering manner.
Although this Zuantianshu is a mortal who traveled through time and space, he has followed the Xi family since he was a child and has learned many kinds of martial arts. He is also very proficient in the eighteen martial arts. He evaded nimbly, then stretched out his right foot, and then used a "twist head kill" with his right hand. The strong man fell to the ground in an instant, and his mouth was biting on Zuantianshu's leather shoes. "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this pair of leather shoes of mine is a treasure passed down by my great-great-great-grandfather's generation. Now it is bitten by your dog mouth. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this bite left two tooth marks. Let me calculate, two tooth marks are not expensive, roughly how much money?" Zuantianshu looked around and suddenly remembered that this was another world. He couldn't even figure out the measurement of money, so he had to be careless and said, "Forget it, just the price of an arm."
The big man collapsed to the ground upon hearing this, begging for mercy: "Master, I didn't know the real dragon was here, I'm leaving now."
"Oh, you want to leave? You hurt my appetite and also took away my beloved shoes. How do you settle this account?" Zuantianshu stepped on the shoulder of the sturdy man. With a click, the sturdy man screamed: "Uncle, uncle, I have money. I will help you take care of your stomach." The burly man hurriedly took out a string of jade from his waist. Zuantianshu glanced at Uncle Jiu and saw Uncle Jiu nodded slightly, and he knew what to do.
At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly bowed to Zuan Tian Shu and Jiu Shu and said, "Thank you both for your chivalrous spirit." The three of them exchanged some polite words, then sat down to drink tea and chat at the shopkeeper's hospitality. The guests who were watching the fun around also returned to their private rooms.
Yang Dabao sneered in his heart. This Uncle Jiu is indeed a scheming person. He wants to gain the trust of this store owner with just this one move. He really wants to gain a foothold in this strange world. He wanted to ask him about Bai Tian's whereabouts in person, but he thought that this man was so cunning that he would be vague and might even pretend not to know him...
"Second Master, why did you come out? Sorry to bother you while you're having tea today." The shopkeeper bowed respectfully.
Although the second master was a young man, he was not only handsome but also very experienced. He put on his hood and chuckled, "It's okay. This matter today is my responsibility. But the words still need to be changed until I am satisfied..." After he finished speaking, a minor official came up from behind him, took out a gold coin and put it in the shopkeeper's hand.
The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, but he just lowered his head humbly and said, "Second Master, I'm afraid..."
But the second master seemed not to hear him, no longer looked at him, and walked straight out.
"Let's change it. When he comes, we'll sing what he wants. When he leaves, we'll go back to the original song. We can make money without making him unhappy." The waiter said softly.
"Nonsense, I don't want to hear such words again, and you must never have such thoughts again." The shopkeeper's attitude was clear, in contrast to his previous respectful and flattering attitude.
"Okay, go and inform your boss now. Tell him that there are new goods in the store and ask him to pick them up in the next few days." After giving the order, the shopkeeper went to the first floor.
Yang Dabing felt his heart beating loudly. He looked outside and saw that the clouds in the sky had become extremely thick without him noticing. It looked like the weather was going to change.
