That was true, but Zhang Yan still felt it was unreliable. He said: "Sir, if you can make money from the Jianghu people in Qinzhou Prefecture without being exposed by the Jianghu people, I'm afraid there is an incredible boss behind you.
.If we rush to buy something from someone else’s store, we’re afraid we won’t be able to do what we want, right?”
How could Lu Xu not know this truth? He said: "Of course I know this. I think it's time. Who is the person behind that wine shop? His shop has now been pushed to the forefront by me.
Go on, I’m afraid now I should be eager to sell this store and clear my relationship.”
Zhang Yan thought for a moment that this seemed to be the truth, and said nothing. Lu Xu took Zhang Yan and the others to the wine shop.
The last time Lu Xu came, the place was bustling with people. But this time, the place was deserted and there were only a few cars and horses in front of the door.
There were only two or three customers in the store. The shopkeeper and the waiter sat helplessly opposite each other in the store. Seeing Lu Xu coming with a few people, the waiter first came out to greet the customers in surprise. When he saw clearly that the person coming was Lu Xu's
At that moment, his smile immediately froze on his face.
Lu Xu came to the waiter and said, "What? You don't welcome us?"
The waiter quickly apologized. Seeing that his waiter was about to suffer a loss, the shopkeeper quickly stood up and said: "Sir, how can we not welcome customers in a small business? It's just that the waiter recently felt cold and unwell, so he was neglectful.
Sir, I hope you will forgive me!"
Lu Xu knew that what he said was a lie, but he didn't mind. He walked into the store and saw him coming. The two or three customers in the store immediately paid their bills and were ready to leave.
The shopkeeper's heart felt so painful when he saw it!
Since Lu Xu came here last time, everyone in the world knows that this place is being targeted by the government. And it is not ordinary officials who are eyeing this place, but the evil star Lu Xu!
Strictly speaking, Zhao Feiyi and the others are also members of the Jianghu, so Lu Xu's reputation is even more prominent in the Jianghu. I heard that Lu Xu is eyeing this place, how can they dare to come here to drink?
If they don't come, the wine shop that relies on them to eat will naturally have no food to eat! In the past few days, some people in the world have seen that Lu Xu has not taken any further action here. In addition, the wine shop has recently reduced prices in order to attract business, so
There are actually a few people who come here to try out a drink.
But I never thought that after finally gathering a few people, Lu Xu was here again!
Now everyone in the world will know that Lu Xu is determined not to let go of this wine shop. How will they live in the future?
The shopkeeper now hates Lu Xu to death. But what Lu Xu wants is this effect!
In Lu Xu's mind, even if this store is not a black shop, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a place where filth and evil are hidden! It is a good thing to make the store owner here shed some blood, not to mention that he can be forced to do so.
Hurry up and sell the store to yourself.
Although the shopkeeper hated Lu Xu, Lu Xu was a customer after all, and seeing that the waiter was obviously frightened by Lu Xu, the shopkeeper could only come up to greet Lu Xu in person.
He forced a smile and said, "I wonder what your guest would like to eat today?"
Lu Xu did not bring Luo Yingyan this time, but brought Zhang Yan and six or seven others. Lu Xu thought that the beef and wine he had here last time were good, so he said: "Give us two kilograms each."
Beef and a pound of wine!”
How can the shopkeeper be willing to do this? Now he just wants to send this evil star away quickly? How can Lu Xu wish?
Although he couldn't reject Lu Xu explicitly, he still had ways to reject people. I just heard him smile and say: "Sir, you are just joking."
"In this dynasty, it is illegal to slaughter farm cattle! The last time you came to the shop, there was beef to eat. That was because a cow happened to be killed in the village not long ago, so the shop got a benefit.
There are several kilograms of beef in stock."
“Now that times have changed, where can small shops still sell beef?”
Lu Xu nodded, but in his heart he didn't believe it at all! The shopkeeper was indeed telling the truth, and the slaughter of cattle was indeed prohibited in the Liang Dynasty.
Because cattle are an extremely precious production resource in Daliang, they are not used to satisfy people's appetites.
but!
It is precisely because beef is rare that it is more attractive to those powerful people.
When Daliang was still strong, few people, even the truly powerful, dared to openly eat beef. But now, Daliang has declined, and Qinfeng Road in particular is a scene of doomsday.
Does anyone still care about this law? Maybe everyone's respect for it is just a show of respect.
The cow was hit and killed? Maybe it hit the butcher's knife, right?
But although Lu Xu knew the secrets inside, he couldn't search the store after all, right?
So, Lu Xu smiled and said: "Since there is no beef, I wonder what kind of meat is available in this store?"
The shopkeeper had a flattering look on his face: "You don't know, the business of the shop has been bad recently, and the meat that was brought in before has been spoiled. Now that the business is not good, it is impossible to buy more meat, so...
I’m afraid I’m going to wrong the guest officer!”
Lu Xu felt that the shopkeeper was quite interesting, so he said, "Why do I think the shopkeeper is blaming me?"
The shopkeeper immediately looked frightened: "How dare you, a villain! Sir... this is really embarrassing for a villain!"
Lu Xu smiled so hard that his eyebrows were curved like crescent moons. The shopkeeper felt as if he was being stared at by a tiger that had just woken up.
Tigers, like cats, look like smiling faces when they first wake up, but they are extremely dangerous.
The shopkeeper felt that his legs were a little weak, but Lu Xu's voice was extremely gentle: "Shopkeeper, since you have no meat, how else can you eat?"
The shopkeeper opened his mouth to say that he had nothing to say! But when he saw Lu Xu's look, he changed his words: "There are only some side dishes left in the shop, so it is no problem to entertain some vulgar men from the world, but
I'm afraid it would be..."
Lu Xu waved his hand: "What are you afraid of? Who am I to be a noble person, just give me a side dish and a pot of wine?"
The shopkeeper looked incredulous: "A side dish?"
Lu Xu nodded solemnly: "Ah!"
The shopkeeper refused to give up: "A pot of wine?"
Lu Xu clapped his hands heavily: "Yes!"
The shopkeeper is about to faint as soon as his eyes darken. He is very familiar with this trick. Isn't this just to ruin things?
His family's business was not doing well to begin with, but if Lu Xu were to come here again, he would really no longer have to do this business!
He really wanted to kneel down to Lu Xu now, but before he really knelt down, Lu Xu supported him and whispered: "Shopkeeper, you have dealt with so many people in the world. You should be a bit of a person in the world.
Proud, right?"
When Lu Xu said this, the shopkeeper reluctantly stood still. Lu Xu smiled and patted his shoulder: "If you dare to do something, dare to do it! If you are beaten, you have to stand firm. This is just the beginning. You have to stand still!"
The shopkeeper's vision went dark. He really wanted to ask Lu Xu: "What do you mean this is just the beginning? What else do you want to do?"
