Shen Lian went out early in the morning. The reason was very clear, that is, he just wanted to hide and be quiet.
He said he was looking for peace, but in fact there were two followers behind him, both of whom were the caretakers of the Shen family.
Shen Lian was amused. Is this considered a private visit? After all, half of the property in this huge Qingzhou Prefecture belongs to the Shen family, and most of the remaining property is inextricably related to the Shen family.
All the most profitable industries are either monopolized by the Shen family or cooperate with the Shen family. It can be said that the Shen family is no different from the local emperors in Qingzhou.
Now he is also considered one of the legal heirs of the Shen family. It is not outrageous to keep a low profile and pay private visits in private.
It's a pity that this is not his ambition, otherwise it would be interesting to molest a common girl and act like a bully.
Qingzhou Prefecture is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city has city walls, but the outer city has various markets and shops attached to the inner city walls. This is also a major feature of Qingzhou Prefecture. The natural feeling of living in the inner city is better than that of the outer city. People are superior to others.
Not only people from the inner city feel this way, but people from the outer city are also desperately trying to squeeze into the inner city.
Therefore, although most houses in the inner city are much smaller than those in the outer city, they are much more expensive. Even so, the supply exceeds demand.
Of course, most of the houses in the inner city were built by the Shen family and then sold at high prices. The Shen family even had title deeds to many undeveloped wastelands in the inner city.
Although Shen Lian only knew a little bit about it, he had to admire Mr. Shen's business vision, which was almost close to some of the business characteristics of modern society in his previous life.
It can be seen that there are thousands of avenues, different paths lead to the same destination, and most smart people can think of one destination.
Shen Lian wandered from the inner city to the outer city. Although the outer city was much larger than the inner city, it was not as sparse and orderly as the inner city. The advantage was that the outer city was really lively.
He came out of the east gate of the inner city. Although there is a mountain to the east, the terrain is very flat, so this is also the only way for business travelers. There are many restaurants and inns in the area, which is very noisy.
Of course, the reason why he took the east gate was because the Shen family's funeral procession did not go this way today.
He left too early in the morning and didn't eat much. He could smell the aroma of sesame cakes in the market and felt a little hungry.
Of course he wouldn't eat sesame seeds, but went straight to an inn with an ordinary name, 'Yue Ke Lai'.
The metaphor is naturally that the guests are happy when they arrive. Although it is vulgar, it is straightforward.
He didn't bring any money, but the two followers behind him did.
Shen Lian was not interested in going to any private room, but went to the lobby. It was not yet noon and there were not many people. He ordered a table of delicious dishes.
Originally, even though the waiter saw that he was dressed unusually, he didn't dare to let him order a table of dishes.
I was about to ask for instructions, but I didn't expect to see the shopkeeper. He smiled happily and ordered him to tell several chefs to make their best dishes.
The shopkeeper was afraid that Shen Lian would be impatient, so he served exquisite pastries and a pot of aged wine first.
Although Shen Lian wanted to drink, his body was not very strong now, so he restrained himself and ordered another pot of tea. However, the two attendants did not dare to sit with him and waited at another table not far away.
Shen Lian ate the pastry in small bites. Before the food came, he saw a green figure entering the hall from the backyard.
This man has disheveled hair and a slovenly appearance. He is wearing a wrinkled green robe with a dull color that has not been changed for an unknown period of time. His face is covered with stubble and he is very rough. The only thing that stands out is his aquiline nose and a pair of extremely Clear eyes, even though he is not tall, give people the illusion of standing out from the crowd.
Ordinary people can feel the difference in Qing Pao Ke, let alone Shen Lian, who smells a hint of danger.
When the shopkeeper saw Qingpao Ke, he was not afraid. He stopped Qingpao Ke and said, "Sir, you have been owed the rent for three days. When do you plan to settle the payment?"
The man in green robe said: "Where's all this nonsense? Let me serve you some good food and wine first, and then I'll argue with you after I'm full."
The shopkeeper said reluctantly: "You have money to sell to others, you buried your father, but you have no money to pay for my hotel room, and you still want to continue to eat for free. How can there be such truth in the world?"
"I'm not giving you this money, I'm buying him as a slave. At worst, I'll let him do part-time work for you. In short, I'll just use the rent to pay for it."
The shopkeeper put his hands on his hips and laughed, saying, "Since you haven't signed a document and you don't know where the person lives, how do you know that guy is not lying to you? Only a fool like you would believe such nonsense."
"I told him to come back in three days and work as a pawn for me. That boy will never break his promise." Qingpaoke replied.
"You said the same thing yesterday."
"But today is only three days later."
This is when the dishes from the kitchen are brought out, and the aroma is fragrant.
As soon as the plate with vegetables fell on the table, the man in green robe stood opposite Shen Lian, grabbed the steaming piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
This was a piece of teppanyaki beef with boiling oil on it, which was extremely hot. The man in green robe just swallowed it into his throat without any change of color on his face.
When the shopkeeper saw that the man in green robe dared to sit down at Shen Lian's table, he was shocked and angry, and was about to drive him away.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lian said: "Bring me another pair of bowls and chopsticks, as well as his rent and food, and put them all on my account."
The shopkeeper didn't recognize Shen Lian, but he knew that the two guards who followed Shen Lian were from the Shen family, so he was very attentive.
With the Shen family's signature name, naturally the shopkeeper would be reluctant to do so.
After all, he only wanted money, and he didn't really have any grudge against the man in green robe.
What the Shen family lacks most is money.
After the man in Qingpao ate the meat, he picked up the jug and drank from the cow. The pot of aged wine immediately bottomed out.
He was dissatisfied and said: "What a profiteer. A jug of wine contains so little. Give me a jar and ask for ten."
The shopkeeper looked at Shen Lian, who nodded.
After a while, ten jars of good wine were served.
The man in green robe opened the wine jar, smelled it, and cursed: "What the hell, you brought all this water to fool the Sa family. It would cost ten jars to replace the wine just now."
The shopkeeper secretly slandered Shen Lian, the man in green robe, for taking advantage of him, but he said with a smile on his face: "The wine just now was Huadiao made secretly in the shop, and there is not much in stock."
The man in green robe pointed at Shen Lian and said, "You old man, are you afraid that this young master can't afford the wine in this shabby shop of yours?"
Shen Lian said, "As for the wine just now, you can take as much as you want."
The shopkeeper had no choice but to nod and ask the waiter to take away the wine he had just brought and replace it with the Huadiao wine that was in short supply.
"Good boy, I see that you are gentle and delicate, but you are also a heroic person. It is a pity that I have to meet that boy first. What a pity!" The man in green robe shook his head.
"I treat you to food and drinks, so I don't need the money. The world is like frost. If you have a thousand coins, give someone else one cent; and if you have one cent, give someone else one cent, the effect is the same, but the friendship is different. You Why look down on me?" Shen Lian smiled calmly.
The clear eyes of the man in green robes became even brighter. He tapped the porcelain bowl with his chopsticks and praised in a clear voice: "What a 'world is like frost'. I didn't expect you to be able to say such words at such a young age."
"This is not what I said, but just one sentence from a passage said by Mr. Gu Long. Would you like to hear the full text?"
"Wait a minute, this must be a wonderful statement, wait until the wine comes!"
