night.
After practicing Guoshan Quan for an hour, Su Qin came to Yushan Tavern as usual.
Before entering the tavern, I heard a drinker shouting: "Isn't this old yellow rice wine always sold for two big coins? Why does it cost three big coins? Is it made of gold rice or silver rice?"
"Sir, the price of rice has increased. Of course, the price of this wine will also increase. Could it be that I want to extort your money?"
Xiao Wu explained with an aggrieved look: "You are all regular customers, so don't make things difficult for me... Now the price of the old rice wine is only increased by one big coin, and the price of scratching the throat wine is increased by two coins. When the wine in the store is sold out, I don’t know if any wine has been sold yet.”
"It would be nice to have wine to drink now. It's not expensive. Give me two bowls of throat scratching wine!" someone shouted, seemingly not short of money at all.
When Su Qin came in, he discovered that those who thought the wine was expensive were all fishermen, while those who were not short of money were all herb collectors!
'Now that food prices are soaring, people can't even afford food, let alone fish, so fish prices have naturally come down. '
'But herbal medicine is just the opposite. Nowadays, the world is in chaos, wars are ongoing in various places, and the demand for various medicinal materials has increased sharply! The price of herbal medicines has naturally gone up, and herbal collectors are certainly not short of money. '
"You're right. Give me an extra bowl of rice wine today." Su Qin walked in with Xiao Tian, "Everything else is as usual."
"Master Su."
Everyone said hello one after another. They knew the relationship between Su Qin and the tavern, and they immediately did not dare to make another mistake.
Some fishermen were so addicted to alcohol that they could only buy a bowl of old rice wine and drink it dry, while some who were reluctant to part with money could only swallow their saliva.
Finally, someone couldn't help it any longer and immediately discussed with the two people next to him about sharing money to buy a bowl of drink.
So there was a funny scene. Three people drank from a bowl of wine and yelled, "You drank too much!" "He drank too much!" "I did it first!"
Su Qin, who was sitting in his seat, couldn't stop feeling happy when he saw this scene of a drunkard becoming addicted to alcohol.
At this time, Xiao Wu came up quickly with wine and meat, and said thanks: "Thank you, Mr. Su, for the rescue."
Su Qin just smiled and shook his head. He knew that the fishermen would not dare to do anything without him. After all, this was Yu Niang's shop.
"Yu Niang didn't come here today?" Su Qin asked casually after Xiao Wu finished his work.
Xiao Wu wiped the sweat from his face and said with a wry smile: "No, if Lady Yu doesn't come here, this tavern will not be able to stay open... Fortunately, Mr. Su, you are here."
It has been three months since Yu Niang last came to the tavern. Without her to control the situation, some forces in the town are ready to take action.
After all, Yushan Tavern is now the most profitable tavern in Yushan Town. Needless to say, there is no need to mention the profit, and there are not a few jealous people.
But with Su Qin here, they don't dare to act rashly yet.
"Do you know what Yu Niang is busy with in the city?"
Xiao Wu still shook his head, "Yu Niang never told us about her affairs outside the tavern. Don't you know, Mr. Su?"
'Am I the kind of person who likes to pry into other people's affairs?'
Su Qin also shook his head.
However, he was a little confused. Although there was war in Yunshan Mansion, the situation was much better than other places.
For example, the drinkers in the tavern were discussing the current situation.
"Today is different from the past... We are okay here. No matter how chaotic it is outside, there are still fish to eat... I heard that some places can't even eat."
"Our Yunshan Mansion is okay, only some scattered refugees have been suppressed. I heard that the Qingyang Mansion next door has become a rebel army! They seem to be called the White Dragon Thief!"
"I've heard about it too, and I heard that the White Dragon Army has captured half of Qingyang Mansion! That's how the people really live in dire straits, tsk tsk."
Because of this, Su Qin thought that no matter how worried Yu Niang was about her brother, she would not leave the tavern alone.
After all, Yunshan Mansion can be considered peaceful.
'Unless the senior officials of Yunshan Mansion have blocked the news! And something has happened to his brother! She has too much time to take care of herself now! '
Thinking of this possibility, Su Qin's fingers suddenly exerted force unconsciously.
Click.
The wine bowl in his hand shattered instantly.
Everyone looked at him in surprise, with horror on their faces.
Some fishermen who just drank too much wine were too frightened to breathe.
Seeing this scene, Su Qin patted the drink on his clothes, stood up and said sheepishly: "I was thinking about something just now, and I was a little excited for a moment. Everyone, keep drinking. I'm paying for the wine in everyone's hands!"
"Oh... Mr. Su, how can you be so embarrassed?"
"Master Su is so generous. What he did just now really opened our eyes."
"That's right, Mr. Su is a martial arts master. He is still so young, and he will definitely be the best among men in the future!"
…
For a time, the drinkers in the store were very excited and said nice things about free money.
Su Qin smiled softly and sat back down without any strangeness.
At this time, the counter had been cleaned up again by Xiao Wu.
Unlike the drinkers in the tavern, Xiao Wu's face was pale. He seemed to have guessed something.
"Master Su...Yu Niang..." Xiao Wu's voice was trembling uncontrollably, and he did not dare to say all the words.
"I will go to Yunshan City in a while. If I don't come back tomorrow, just pack your things and leave quickly, and leave the tavern alone!"
Su Qin's eyes darkened and his expression remained calm, "Don't tell anyone about this for the time being."
"Hey." Xiao Wu nodded, swallowed hard, and wiped the cold sweat from his head.
At this time, Xiaotian had finished eating, and Su Qin drank up the last night's rice wine on the table.
"Xiaotian, let's go!"
At this time, it was already dark outside the tavern.
One person and one dog quickly merged into the thick darkness.
Su Qin was not sure what would happen when he went to Yunshan City this time, so he returned to Nanshan Residence first and packed up all his valuables.
Finally I came to the pond and looked at the fish inside.
In the past two years, he has not caught many rare fish. There are only more than thirty fish in total, and the total value is seven or eight hundred taels. However, these are not very valuable now, and they have to be discounted in half.
"I hope you are still alive when I come back."
Finally, Su Qin carried a baggage on his back and jumped on Xiao Tian's back, "Let's go!"
Xiaotian jumped over the courtyard wall with a slight leap.
Under the cover of the thick night, no one knew that he had left Yunshan Town.
In the past, the distance that he would have taken an hour to walk was shortened to a quarter of an hour due to Xiao Tian's extreme speed.
Su Qin hid in a shadow and looked at the towering city wall from a distance. The city gate was closed at this time. He keenly discovered that there were not only soldiers standing guard on the city wall, but also patrols!
This is extremely unusual!
At the same time, he also noticed that these soldiers were all wearing leather armor and were ready to fight.
"Looking at it like this, Yunshan Mansion is not as beautiful as imagined! Something must have happened, but the top management blocked the news!"
Su Qin was hesitant to enter the city at this time. After all, small chaos would avoid the city, while big chaos would avoid the countryside.
This scene now doesn’t look like a little chaos!
“Forget it, I have owed Lady Yu the favor for so long, let’s take advantage of this chaos and pay it off all at once!”
"Besides, Gou is just an attitude. You can't really become a pig by pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger."
"When it's time to take action, you still have to take action!"
