Chapter 299
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Chen was ready to go, and the deal with Huyanlei and his tribe was basically completed, and he was about to go back. Xiao Chen insisted on sending him ten miles away. This was etiquette and friendship.
Of course, there are also some personal gifts, which are also quite generous.
It is agreed to meet you in Changshan Prefecture next spring, and I will definitely prepare a good wine, so that I can get drunk with you, Huyan!
After sending Hu Yanlei away, he told Hui Wu and Wen Chengxu that if Wanyan Pingqiu, Gai He, Bu He and their princes and leaders came in person, they must be entertained grandly, and they must not lose their courtesy.
These few are my allies.
Of course, you have the final say on the specific transaction matters. After all, business is business, and friendship is friendship, which cannot be confused with each other.
Xian Bo didn't know who was coming, but no matter who came, they would be treated the same as these people, and they could only be overly enthusiastic and not be treated lightly.
In addition, tell these people, if you have time, please go to Changshan Prefecture to talk to me, I will prepare fine wine and wait for them...
Along the way, Xiao Chen wanted to observe the sentiments of the people, so he ordered Lu Fei and Wen Shanchang to lead the Xiaoqi Guards, Feiyi Guards, and Habayashi Guards to go ahead.
He only took Xiao Ye, Duan Ling'er, Tie Kunlun, and Fu Yan to walk slowly.
Anyway, the presence of these few people is enough to protect the safety of his boss.
But I saw a lot of traffic on the road, and it was very lively.
The transport convoy from Changshan Prefecture and the convoy from Bailong City to Changshan crossed. There were also many merchants in chariots and horses, vendors pushing small carts, craftsmen and ordinary people who went to the Bailong City trade market to seek livelihood.
Next to several post stations along the way, there are also a lot of temporary restaurants, restaurants and hotels. Because there are a lot of people coming and going, the big guys always want to eat, drink and rest, right?
This is still winter, if the weather eases, there will be more merchants coming and going.
The situation is quite gratifying.
It was getting late, Xiao Chen and the others found a post station to settle down, but unexpectedly, the post station chief refused, we are too busy with our business, how can we have time to serve you?
You said Governor Xiao Chenxiao?
Hahaha, if you are Governor Xiao, I will be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, go, go, why are you kidding me? I'm busy.
If you want to eat and drink, there are so many small hotels and restaurants next to you. I didn’t see it. Go there and play, go there.
Everyone was stunned, but they couldn't explain clearly to him, a little postman, who told them to be in casual clothes.
I had no choice but to get out of the post station in despair, and found an inn next to it, and spent a lot of money to book a few 'upper rooms'. They said they were upper rooms, but they were actually thatched huts with air leakage on all sides, only bigger.
Fortunately, they are all newly opened stores, and the bedding and utensils are still clean.
But it's just an inn, and they don't provide meals. If you want to eat, you go out, and there are restaurants everywhere.
A few people came out to search a lot, almost all the restaurants were full, and after walking a long way, they found a small restaurant built with thatched yellow mud on the side of the road, probably because it was relatively remote, and the small shop was hard to see. It was really too simple, so there were no guests inside.
"Store, order!" Tie Kunlun's hungry stomach growled, and he slapped the table and yelled as soon as he sat down.
"Masters, I'm really sorry. The small shop has just opened, and the house is not complete. The food includes miscellaneous noodles, freshly baked oil cakes, and some pickles made by myself."
An old man with a wrinkled face and a simple and honest smile came out from the back kitchen, explaining in a low voice.
"What kind of restaurant do you open without food!" Duan Tie Kunlun was very dissatisfied, "Let's go to another restaurant."
"Grandpa, you also came here from a long distance, right? My house is the last one on this side. After passing my village, there is no shop in front of it!" But the eldest girl came over with a smile, and touched it from her waist. Get out a rag and wipe the table clean.
This girl is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an oval face and peach blossom eyes, and a few small freckles on her small nose, she looks very playful when she smiles.
A thick braid was smooth and smooth, hanging down to the waist, and there was a butterfly tied on the head of the braid.
"Okay, let's just have a bite here, girl, my brothers like to eat meat, or else I will trouble you to buy some meat for us at the next store, and bake us some more pancakes. How about I settle accounts with you?" Xiao Chen has always been very polite to girls.
"Bring a few catties of shochu to burn to warm your body." Tie Kunlun added.
"That's fine! Dad, go to the pancakes, I'll go buy meat for the men. His family has mutton, beef, and roe deer meat. I don't know what kind of meat the men want to eat?" The girl kept a big deal. , obviously very happy, hastily agreed, and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth.
"Fatty beef is the best, if you don't have mutton, you'll be fine." Tie Kunlun waved his hand, "Go, go, I'm going to be hungry."
The girl still stood still, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Masters, we are a small business, and we have just opened for a short time, and we haven't earned a few copper coins. We don't recognize the shop next to it, no. I'm ashamed to open my mouth to ask someone on credit, can you give me some money first?"
"Hey, what's the matter, I'll take the money for you..." Tie Kunlun reached into his arms and touched for a long time, only to find a handful of air. He didn't even have a penny on him.
"Don't look at me, I don't have any money on me, Xiao Ye, don't you have several gold ingots? Hurry up and take them out!" Duan Linger also has no money.
Xiao Ye didn't have either. His few gold ingots were exchanged with those wounded Capricorn soldiers, and the spikes he bought were also snatched away by the brothers of the Xiaoqiguards. Now his sleeves are empty, come along Sometimes there is nothing.
"Don't look at me, my clothes are all new." Fu Yan laughed.
"Brother, what are you still doing in a daze? Take the money!" Duan Linger reached out and fumbled in Xiao Chen's arms.
When he was in Fengyang City, Xiao Chen had a few gold and silver ingots on him casually, but since Yanyun County, he has been marching and fighting, and there is no place to use silver, so he has nothing now .
Everyone thought that the other party must have money, but in the end, no one had any, and the atmosphere instantly became a little awkward...
"Hey, they are all people who go out. Who would walk with the house behind their backs? It's okay if the men don't have enough money. It's better to eat first. I'll go and make pancakes for the men. Xiu'er, give me your hand."
The old man was very honest and honest, seeing the embarrassment of a few people, he hurriedly signaled the girl to stop staring at them, and go face to face with me!
"Then thank you uncle, I will definitely send someone to bring the meal money later." Xiao Chen said.
"Hmph, I still have to eat meat and drink if I don't have money! If you don't have enough money, you're a bunch of liars..." Miss Xiu'er's small face was tense, and she turned her mouth up high, not happy.
I thought I could make some money, but now I'm fine, and I met a bunch of freeloaders.
"Then thank you, sister Xiu'er." Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"We don't know each other, so we don't want brothers and sisters to be blind!" Xiu'er didn't show face, and went into the back kitchen with her big braids.
