Chapter 547: Hongmen Banquet
Chapter 547 Hongmen Banquet
County magistrate Zhao hurriedly quieted everyone down. When they heard what magistrate Zhao said, they all shut their mouths and stared blankly at magistrate Zhao, waiting for him to speak.
"There is no way for you to quarrel like this, and Liang Yi has made her business so prosperous, I can't tell her not to open this store, you think so?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately became unhappy, and continued: "Why can't you do anything about it? You've left us nowhere to live. We've all listened to you before. Now don't cross the river and tear down the bridge."
"Then there is really nothing I can do. Aren't you embarrassing me? You came to the county magistrate's mansion to make a lot of noise. Doesn't it seem outrageous?"
County magistrate Zhao had been arguing with a group of businessmen for a long time, and he couldn't stand it any longer. How could one person talk to so many people, so he raised his hand and said, "Shut up!"
Just finished speaking, the merchants were not as noisy as before, and the atmosphere was much calmer. Seeing this, County Magistrate Zhao coughed lightly, and then continued.
"In a few days, I will help the big guys organize a gathering. It can be regarded as a gathering of merchants and shops in Maple Leaf Town. In this way, Liang Yi will also come. When the time comes, you can communicate more, won't it be enough?"
The merchants immediately understood that they said it was for everyone to eat, but in fact they were letting the merchants lobby Liang Yi.
These merchants immediately stopped arguing when they heard this idea. Seeing them like this, Zhao County Magistrate nodded in satisfaction, and then sent someone to invite Liang Yi over.
"What? Invite me to the county magistrate's mansion for dinner?" Liang Yi was also stunned for a few seconds when he heard that.
"Yes, County Magistrate Zhao said that he would invite Miss Liang Yi to visit the magistrate's mansion and have a meal there by the way." The officer said.
Liang Yi immediately put down what he was doing, "In this case, I will go to the county magistrate's mansion with you." After speaking, Liang Yijian followed the officers and soldiers to go out.
At this time, Liang Yi didn't know that this was not an ordinary dinner, so he readily agreed to the officers and soldiers, and followed them to the county magistrate's mansion.
Just getting started, Liang Yi saw so many people in the county magistrate's mansion, so he knew it was a grand feast.
I saw a lot of businessmen sitting in their respective positions. Seeing Liang Yi's arrival, they looked at each other in blank dismay. Many people's faces were full of disdain and contempt. It was really embarrassing.
Liang Yi didn't pay too much attention, found an empty seat and sat down like this. After a while, the food came up. The strange thing was that the other people didn't move their chopsticks at all, and they all stared at Liang Yi.
Why not eat? Is it possible that you are full just by looking at yourself?
Liang Yi felt puzzled, but he didn't stop moving his hands. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes, ignoring everyone's gaze. At this time, County Magistrate Zhao coughed awkwardly, and then said to everyone:
"Okay, everyone can start, and take a few bites while the food is still hot."
At this time, everyone started to move their chopsticks. One of the businessmen picked up the dish, put it in his mouth, and praised him endlessly: "This dish is so delicious, and the spiciness is really just right. Hey, I remember there is a hot pot opposite us." From the store, the taste is really strong, and I don’t know why some people like it.”
A shop owner also echoed: "That is to say, it is oily and spicy, and it is not edible at all. Whoever opens this kind of shop is really guilty."
Liang Yi heard what the two of them meant, so he didn't speak, but picked up the vegetables and put them in his own bowl.
The businessman sitting next to Liang Yi glanced at Liang Yi, pretending to be shocked and said: "There are women coming to this dinner, I thought it was men who opened the shop."
