After Shao Xi counted the silver notes in his hand, he took out a thousand gold silver note and handed it back to shopkeeper Cao.
"Previously, the branch of your bank in Qingshan County borrowed a thousand gold to help a friend in the name of shopkeeper Zhang. Now that we have cash on hand, why not pay it back now."
Shopkeeper Cao said with a smile on his face: "Master Shao is indeed a man of his word. I have only borrowed it for a few days. I have cash on hand and want to pay it back. There are really not many people like you. I don't know what it is like." A friend? Can Mr. Shao be so attentive and willing to spend a lot of money to help? "
"Anyway, it's hard to say, so it's okay not to say it."
Mentioning this matter, Shao Xi couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Shopkeeper Cao is a smart man. Seeing that Shao Xi didn't want to talk about it, he naturally couldn't ask more questions. After putting away the thousand gold banknote, he said to Shao Xi: "If Mr. Shao needs money again in the future, just tell me." Open your mouth and we will do our best to help.”
Shao Xi raised his hands to Shopkeeper Cao and said: "If you encounter difficulties, you will naturally come to trouble Shopkeeper Cao. I would like to thank you in advance. If your bank needs my help with anything, Shopkeeper Cao will just ask. It is my duty to do so." .”
"Young Master Shao is indeed a righteous person. No wonder the big shopkeeper gave the gold medal he brought to you. Will the young master have a place to stay in Daliang City, Kyoto? Now the young master only sells a small part of his belongings and makes a lot of money. , do you plan to settle down and operate the office industry in Daliang City for a long time?"
"I just arrived in Daliang today, and I haven't even found the way yet. However, shopkeeper Cao reminded me that my stay in Daliang will not be too short, and maybe I will live here for a long time. I just don't know if shopkeeper Cao can Is there any way to buy property?"
Shopkeeper Cao raised his hand and stroked the beard on his chin, and said to Shao Xi with a smile: "Of course there are opportunities, but I don't know what kind of property Mr. Shao wants to buy? Is it in this bustling area, or is he looking for a quiet place?" An elegant place?”
Shao Xi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Although lively places are good, I prefer quieter places as long as they are easy to access. I just don't know how much money it would cost to buy such a property?"
In fact, Shao Xi's idea is very simple. Although he wants to buy a property to settle down, after all, he and Lao Wu have to avoid their enemies, so naturally they can't be too high-profile. Living a little further away is a good choice.
"Young master, please don't be fooled by today's situation. The people who came today are all dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, so this money looks like dirt. In fact, buying property in Daliang City is not as good as what you get today." Silver money is really not worth mentioning, but more than a hundred gold is enough.”
When Shao Xi heard this, how much money did he make? Buying a house in Daliang City in Kyoto only costs more than a hundred dollars? Is it too cheap, or is it too inflated with the amount of money you have?
"In this case, I have to leave this matter to Shopkeeper Cao. I'll stay at the inn for a few days. After Shopkeeper Cao handles this matter for me, I will move in. I would like to thank Shopkeeper Cao for this."
Everything has been arranged, and Shao Xi only needs one month to collect the remaining money from the commercial bank. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Shao Xi stood up to say goodbye and left Taihe Trading Company.
When he walked out of the gate of Taihe Trading Company, Shao Xi was still thinking, "Old Wu, this old guy slipped out without saying a word. I don't know where he went? What were he going for? Could it be that he was hungry and ran to the restaurant?" Why don’t you go to the kitchen to eat secretly?”
Just as he was thinking about it, he was pulled into the alley by the roadside by the sudden appearance of Lao Wu, who was inexplicably startled.
"What the hell are you doing, old guy? You just ran away without saying a word. Did you go somewhere to do your old business again? Now that we are so rich, why can't you change your stealing behavior? Bad habits?"
I saw Old Wu looking around nervously, and said to Shao Xi in a low voice: "Master, please keep your voice down! Do you know who bought your glassware today?"
"Who is he? He's a rich man! He's my God of Wealth. Why do you ask?"
"Master, ten years have passed. You have grown up and he naturally cannot recognize you. But my appearance has not changed much. I didn't disguise myself before entering the city, so when I recognized him, I had to sneak out and hide." Get up, that man in black robe who bought your glassware was the culprit who burned down Fengjiazhuang and slaughtered more than 60 members of the Feng family, old and young?"
Shao Xi was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the person Lao Wu had been hiding with him all these years would actually appear in front of him today, but he didn't know it yet.
It's no wonder that Shao Xi has never experienced what happened in Fengjiazhuang. Everything he knows is just from Feng Yuyan's memory. The personal feeling of losing his home and losing his loved ones is in his mind. It's not obvious in my mind.
But now that he knew that the person who had always wanted to kill him was beside him, Shao Xi was really scared. Although I have some abilities now, I can guess how much energy the other party has. Now let alone a head-on collision, even if I am caught by the other party, I will definitely die. Now that he had just made a fortune and became a rich man, Shao Xi didn't want to lose his life so early.
What is your biggest regret in life? It’s just that the person died before the money could be spent.
"Damn it, you didn't tell me earlier! I also asked shopkeeper Cao to set up an industry in the city. Doesn't this mean living under the eyes of the enemy? Isn't this mouse looking for death by hanging around in front of the cat all day long?"
"That's not to say. With the industry, we have a place to hide. It's better than wandering around the streets like now, right?"
Lao Wu's idea is that since he has come to Daliang City, it is better to have a stable residence than to hide in Tibet. As long as you don't go out less and don't wander around, it will actually have the effect of being dark under the lights.
"Master, don't worry too much. The man in black robe just recognizes me. You have changed a lot in these years. Let's eat quickly and then find an inn to stay. We only need to put on a disguise before going out on the street every day." , it’s not a big deal, just be low-key and cautious.”
Shao Xi nodded in agreement and said: "This matter is all up to you. Let's find a place to live first. After the property is purchased in two days, we will move in. We just don't go out as much on weekdays."
After discussing the matter, the two found a nearby restaurant. Now that he is rich, he will naturally not sit in the lobby anymore, but directly ask for a private room upstairs, so that he can be less exposed to the crowd and avoid bumping into the black-robed man again.
As he was going upstairs, he happened to meet the thin man who bought Shao Xi's Sky Eye Stone at the auction.
"This guy bought my Sky Eye Stone. When I took pictures of the gold-threaded soft armor, I spent all the money from selling the Sky Eye Stone. I don't know where this guy came from? He's quite rich! "
The two parties glanced at each other and passed each other, each going to his own private room.
If you have money, you no longer have to chew hard beef jerky. Lao Wu really didn't want to give in, so he ordered a table full of delicious dishes.
There are poems about ginkgo biloba, two phoenixes hatching from one egg, bringing flowers to court, mandarin fish, jade-belted shrimps, oil-haired bean sprouts, eight immortals crossing the sea to make a fuss about Arhats, white grilled wings reaching the sky, and ordering a pot of fine Sangluo wine. .
Shao Xi was dumbfounded as he sat aside. The old guy probably used all the money he stole before to eat and drink, right? Why are you so good at eating? Aren't you afraid of spoiling your stomach with so much meat and fish?
Lao Wu just sat there, taking a sip of wine and a sip of food. What he ate was delicious. Shao Xi was wondering why there are eight immortals crossing the sea in this world? Why is there also Confucius cuisine? I feel like I'm missing something. Could it be that the eight gods and Duke Yansheng's Mansion also traveled through time like me?
After drinking a pot, Lao Wu asked the waiter to serve another pot of Sangluo wine.
The old guy was so excited about the drink that he even said, "The mulberry wine is falling in Pucheng, and the chrysanthemums are blooming in Ba'an."
Shao Xi dropped his chopsticks to the floor after hearing this.
"It's your uncle! It's not just the eight gods and descendants of the Kong family who have traveled through time. Could it be that even Yu Xin has traveled through time? And you old guy, why are you still thinking about the chrysanthemum autumn while drinking Sangluo wine?"
But thinking about it, Shao Xi has long been used to it. People either traveled back in time to the Han and Tang Dynasties, or to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and then they traveled to an unknown dynasty. Anyway, this is the Jingyuan Dynasty, and it has never been mentioned in history books.
He couldn't go back anyway, it was the same everywhere, not to mention he had just made a fortune, so even if he was asked to go back now, he wouldn't go back. Why don't you keep a lot of gold and silver and go back to work as a security guard? It’s better not to give it up!
Two people were eating when suddenly someone walked in from outside the door.
When Shao Xi felt someone coming in, he was still thinking: "The wine and food have been served, and I didn't ask the waiter to come. Who could be so rude and barge in? Could it be that I went to the wrong room?"
Looking up towards the door, Shao Xi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, feeling slightly surprised.
"What's he doing here? Could it be that he wants something in my hand?"
The person standing at the door was the thin man who he had passed by before. He had bought his Sky Eye Stone at the auction and competed with him for the gold-threaded soft armor.
When Shao Xi saw him for the first time, he was thinking that if he came to find her intentionally, it was just for two things. One is the gold-threaded soft armor that he failed to buy before, and the other is probably wondering if he still has an extra Sky Eye Stone in his hand. It can be seen that this person attaches great importance to the Sky Eye Stone and must have a need for it. .
Old Wu was busy picking up the dishes on the plate, but he just raised his head and glanced at the man in front of the door. Then he poured another glass of wine, drank it in one sip, and licked his lips, twirling his beard with his hand before speaking.
"So far away, the young marquis from the Tang Sect has come to Daliang City in Kyoto. It must be sent by the third master, right? I wonder if the other young marquises have also come together? Do you have something to do with me and me today? Young Master. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Little monkey? Tangmen?" Shao Xi seemed to remember that Guo Youde called Tanglou "little monkey" and said there were seven in total.
But why do we call them little monkeys? Is it because he looks like a monkey? Although the one in front of me looks a bit similar, the Tanglou doesn't look like a monkey at all!
Moreover, which number is this one in front of me?
