Commercial Port, Bagua Street, Fuxian Teahouse
"Dingling, dinging, dinging, sir, madam, give way, give way~"
The rickshaw bells were ringing, pulling foreigners shopping through the streets and alleys. The 180 shops were bustling with activity. As soon as the three uncles from the Yue family stepped into Fuxian Teahouse, Niudelu immediately came forward to greet them.
"Hey, isn't this my father-in-law? You haven't been to my teahouse for a long time. I thought I had offended you somewhere, and I was just about to come to your door with a candied fruit cake to apologize."
Yue Qingshan knew that Niudelu was just teasing him casually, so he raised his hands and said: "What's the matter? I've been running outside watching the tide for the past six months. I can't leave the forest farm at home, so I didn't show up outside. I'll wait for the forest farm to have some free time." Come down here, I’m going to visit you right away.”
"Visit, then you have to offend me. If you want to visit, I should visit you. Now my father-in-law and I have become brothers who worship each other. You are my elder according to seniority. I don't dare to ask you to come and worship me. Later, I will prepare a table with good wine and food, and you are not allowed to leave."
The beast was happy to be combed, and Niudelu's flattering words made Yue Qingshan's heart burst with joy. When Yue Qingshan walked into the teahouse by himself, he turned around and greeted the four people behind him.
Oops~
Yue Guanchao, Song Siyuan, Xu Xiake, and Yue Erpao stood there blankly, all wearing bright and shiny fur coats.
"Hey, I said you guys are here pretending to be bears. Where did you skin the bears? Their fur is so neat and bright."
Yue Guanchao took off his furry dog-skin hat and said with a sigh of relief: "What's that look in your eyes? Is that a bear? It's a lynx skin. You're so blind and you're still the shopkeeper. Don't let all the distinguished guests run away." ~”
"Huh? This is lynx skin, so I have to take a good look~"
As soon as Nudero heard that it was lynx skin, he went around behind everyone and carefully rubbed the fur, nodded and said: "The fur is yellow-brown with light golden rings, and it feels thick and dense. It is indeed the best wild lynx skin." , Hiss ~ Master Yue, nowadays, with the opening of ports and the construction of factories around Fengtian, these wild animals have been driven to the deep mountains and old forests, and they are not seen much anymore. Where did you find these good things? "
Yue Guanchao patted his hat and explained: "We went to Anyuan County half a month ago. We were doing business there for a few days. We happened to be hunting in the wild forest. I came across a few wild lynxes as big as Tibetan mastiffs, and I hunted them down. I caught him dead, skinned him on the spot and took him back to Fengtian. I was planning to make a fur coat for my second uncle, but he thought the color was too dull, so he threw all the materials to us, just one for each of us."
"It's great. You can also go to the white mountains and black waters. Since I established this Laoshizi Association, I wish I could break it into three days. I'm so busy."
Nudero touched his nose and sighed.
"It's good to be busy. It's much better than being free. I see that the teahouses nearby are so crowded with you that they have given up their business."
Along the way, Yue Guanchao found that most of the nearby teahouses had gone out of business, or even abandoned their brands, which showed that he really couldn't continue his work.
"Hey, doing business now is all about negotiation. I don't want to kill them all. After a while, I will bring them into the association and let them make some money."
Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew through the alley. Niudelu yawned and hurriedly waved: "Tell me, what are we standing on the wind outlet talking about? Let's go into the teahouse to warm up."
When everyone entered the private room, the stove was warm and the food and wine were ready. They were just waiting for Lord Zhu Beggar to come to the door.
In less time than a stick of incense, Lord Zhu Beggar had been welcomed into the Nuan Pavilion. Yue Qingshan inevitably felt sad when he saw his old friend arriving.
"Master Zhu Beggar, long time no see~"
Old friends met and each had something to say. Yue Qingshan and Zhu Gaiye bowed their hands and sat down at the wine table.
Zhu Beiye walked around the world with great visibility. In such a cold weather, it was definitely not an ordinary thing to invite someone out to entertain him with wine and food. He held up his hands and asked: "Brother Yue, you haven't been to Fengtian for a long time, so you made an appointment with me today. I think it's I have something to explain to my brothers~"
"Brother Zhu is indeed transparent. You should not be involved in this matter, but I will have to follow them to the Qinling Mountains in a few days, but I need you..."
Over a cup of tea, Yue Qingshan talked briefly and explained clearly the situation that the two uncles encountered. After listening to it, Master Zhu Gai sighed: "Brother Yue, I know what you mean, but I didn't expect that your situation is so bad." It's dangerous, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will definitely keep an eye on the Tang family and the Zhang family."
"Speaking of which, I have to ask the girl one more thing. We have all left Fengtian Queen. Sun Daqiao will definitely send Hualing back to Xiaonanmen in order to cover up others' eyes. The Song family needs to take care of it. As long as Zhu Beiye's eyewitness When you realize that Zhang has left Fengtian, you can take Hualing back to the Song residence for the time being and wait until we come back."
"Second Uncle Yue, don't worry about this. I originally planned to ask my brother to do this. After we all leave, he will always pay attention to Yingchuan City and Tangjiazhuang. Together with Zhu Beiye's informant, he will definitely be able to pass on the information It’s in our hands.”
"Then, I'd like to thank you in advance~"
Yue Qingshan's most worried thing was solved, and the sadness on his face gradually eased. He simply took advantage of the warmth and drank some wine with Niudelu and the other three.
Seeing that nothing happened in Yaxiang, Yue Guanchao took Song Siyuan, Xu Xiake and Yue Erpao out of the teahouse and walked straight to the Bagua Street outside Huaxing.
