Chapter 260 The Qiao family of Shanxi merchants
Zhao Changhe couldn't see the look on the landlady's face, and couldn't tell whether there was anything special about her words, but he didn't take it seriously. He just smiled slightly, shook the menu and asked: "They all look like they are grabbing this and grabbing that. I don’t feel very interested. Since Jiangnan Osmanthus Wine is available, is there Jiangnan Xiao Chao?”
The landlady smiled and said: "Most people do as the Romans do when they are in the country. When they go to a foreign land, they prefer to try the local specialties. How can anyone go to the north of the Great Wall to seek the south of the Yangtze River?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Just asking, no?"
The landlady’s eyes flashed: “It’s not impossible if you insist, I just need to pay more.”
“Does it mean that things are rare and valuable?”
"It means that special order is more troublesome." The landlady said: "No one usually needs different ingredients, utensils, and seasonings. If they are kept there for a few days, they will go bad. Naturally, they will not be kept on a regular basis. If you want to order, we will go out now. Buy it, of course you will have to pay more for the cost and labor, but don’t say we are killing your pig. Is that fair?”
Zhao Changhe put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "It's reasonable and well-founded, it's really fair."
"Hey, Sanniang!" The drinkers were all unhappy: "Why do you keep talking to this guy as soon as he comes? He's not that handsome. His body looks good, and he can get a lot of money here. !”
Sanniang glared at everyone: "I can talk to whoever I want to talk to, what do you think?"
Someone said: "Is it just because we want to eat Jiangnan cuisine? Then we can order it too."
Zhao Changhe sighed, you lickers, if people don't say you are a good guy, why bother?
Sure enough, Sanniang laughed and said: "Because he doesn't want to be slutty. Then I am just a little bit more innocent. This is called hospitality."
Everyone: “…”
Zhao Changhe dropped the menu and said, "Just have this shredded leg of lamb, no need to bother."
Sanniang became a little bored and continued to ask perfunctorily: "Do you need to chat with me? It's very pure."
Zhao Changhe could tell that she was perfunctory, so he simply said: "I want to eat, your fragrance affects my appetite."
“Bah.” Sanniang got frustrated and scolded as she twisted her waist and walked: “Why are you hanging around here if you don’t hurry up and serve the wine!”
When everyone saw that the bowl of water was flat, they no longer felt jealous, and started chatting about their own affairs with a smile. Someone said to Zhao Changhe: "Brother, many people have tried this trick of pretending not to be interested over the years, but it doesn't work... If you show too much, you may get beaten."
Zhao Changhe smiled and did not reply.
It makes everyone feel the same itch for Sanniang as you do. As for... Huangfu Qing has the same body type and is similar in charm, but Sanniang's coquettishness is a bit too coquettish. It's not as good as Huangfu Qing, who has a moderate degree, and Huangfu Qing is still noble. , it’s better Huangfu’s love!
Honestly speaking, I am really not very interested in him because he has Zhuyu in front of me. God knows which big boss has forbidden her, so I am going to provoke her when I am full.
Soon the shredded leg of lamb and osmanthus wine were served. Zhao Changhe gave the waiter a piece of broken silver and asked him to take care of Wu Zui while he ate and thought about the problem.
His conversations with Sanniang were 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 and not hired locally. It can be seen that this is a small group organization composed of people from Daxia and Jiangnan. It is not just a purchase of osmanthus wine to sell here.
Sanniang said that although some people know how to cook it, no one eats it like this. Jiangnan ingredients are not always available here, which proves that there is no long-term exchange with Jiangnan, so don’t try Tantan. At the same time, it also tells you that if you want to customize something, you can add money and the transaction will be fair.
How can these drinkers, whose minds are filled with mountains and slender waists, understand?
Judging from the hint that Sanniang can be traded, if it is said to be someone from Huangfu Yongxian, someone from the Demon Suppression Division, or someone from a certain force in the grassland, these three possibilities can be almost ruled out, and Ying Wu or Si Xiang The people who teach are all reasonable.
In fact, neither of these two possibilities should be trusted too much. I don’t have any tokens from the Four Symbols Sect. In the general perception of the Four Symbols Sect members, I am still considered an enemy, but my priority is relatively low. Who knows what will happen if I get it into their hands.
The people of Ying Wu, the organization's stance is that they buy and sell information fairly, but in fact, the specific details may not be consistent among the responsible persons. God knows if there are any tendencies after being here for so long. We also have no friendship, so how can we dare to trust them randomly?
But since his identity has not been exposed, it should still be possible to use a pseudonym to buy some less sensitive information.
Just as he was thinking this, two more people came in from the door. Zhao Changhe glanced at them 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.
Zhao Changhe said: "The business here in Sanniang is really good."
Sanniang smiled and said, "The location here is great. The foreigners who have just entered the gathering place are all drooling when they see the wine flag." Zhao Changhe nodded. This location is really good. Isn't that why he came here? What: "Speaking of which, if I don't want to set up a table, will Sanniang chase me away or chase them away?"
Sanniang sighed and advised: "Why should you be so lonely when you are away from home? Many friends mean many paths."
The two people seemed to be impatient as they listened to the conversation. They stood next to Zhao Changhe, one on the left and the other on the right: "Brothers, we are all guests from the Central Plains. 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 grain to the Hu people during the war?
Zhao Changhe knew that he might be able to dig out a lot of information by having a perfunctory chat with them, but he felt disgusted no matter how he looked at it. He couldn't pretend anymore, so he said coldly: "It's reasonable for Sanniang to negotiate with me about this kind of thing." , it’s okay for me to give in to Sanniang. The negotiation here hasn’t been completed yet. When will it be your turn to accuse me of passing it? Now, I don’t want to share the table with you. Whoever takes a ride will go with him."
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine!" The young man's eyes showed a ferocious look, and he suddenly slapped him in the face.
All the drinkers are in high spirits again, there are so many plays in Huangshaji, there is never the same one every day.
There was a "pop", and it was clearly the boy who made the move, but what everyone saw was that he was slapped on the face. His whole body spun in circles like a top for several times before he stopped, and then he covered his mouth and spit out What? I spread my hands and saw **** teeth.
People didn't even see clearly how Zhao Changhe slapped him back!
Sanniang looked at Zhao Changhe with interest and thought deeply.
The middle-aged man was furious: "How brave!"
"Choke!" The sound of drawing a sword sounded, and the sword stabbed Zhao Changhe in the back of the heart.
Zhao Changhe was still eating the leg of mutton and drinking. He twisted his body slightly for some reason, and the sword passed under his ribs. Then he easily pinched the opponent's hand under his armpit with a casual pinch. With a "click", the opponent's wrist was actually touched by him. Life and death were cut off, and screams resounded throughout the hall.
Everyone took a breath and looked at Zhao Changhe with somewhat different eyes.
As for this man's martial arts skills, the main reason is that his strength is a bit outrageous. What is the concept of pinching someone's hand under his armpit?
Some people subconsciously made a movement to pinch their arms, and then shook their heads, feeling that they could not do this no matter what. What kind of magical power is this?
Zhao Changhe let go of the man and said calmly: "This kind of trash dares to provoke..."
The two of them looked at Zhao Changhe with shock and fear, and quickly retreated out of the door, saying harshly: "Wait!"
Zhao Changhe grabbed two chopsticks and wanted to kill them, but after thinking about it, he put them down. These two people should be the leaders of the caravan, and they may have some needs for evidence collection, so it is not the time to kill them yet. What's more, if thousands of people from the other side take revenge, nothing can be done here.
Thinking of this, Zhao Changhe turned to ask Sanniang, who was watching the show with twinkling eyes, and said calmly: "Sanniang, they beat your guests and you don't say anything? Is it because they have more money than me, or is it because Sanniang Don’t you protect your guests at all?”
Sanniang smiled as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Oh, quarrels and fights are common in the store. I didn't realize the nature of it for a while. I'll forgive you."
Zhao Changhe said: "So if they find someone to take revenge, will Sanniang protect her residents?"
Sanniang smiled and said: "The inn is a safe zone. No one can touch my guests. You will not be held responsible after you leave."
Why didn’t you say it was a safe zone just now? Zhao Changhe was noncommittal: "That's fine...Does Sanniang know them?"
Sanniang smiled and said, "What? You still want to take the initiative to retaliate and eradicate the roots?"
“Isn’t it possible?”
“Then I advise you to take it easy, there are many of them...”
“So who are they?”
“Second Master Qiao from the Qiao family in Jinzhong, I’m afraid it’s his first time coming out, so I don’t know him either.”
As expected, they were Shanxi merchants... Zhao Changhe's mind turned around a lot, but he didn't expect anyone from the Qiao family to be 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 with them?"
Sanniang’s eyes were full of meaning: “There is news, but we need more money.”
