The man was slightly older and looked to be forty years old. His only remaining eye swept back and forth across Xia Yan's body.
He seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, the man silently said: "Do you have any wine?"
When Xia Yan was slightly startled, the man was not displeased at all. He just continued to pick up his wine gourd and asked, "Do you have any wine?"
"Oh oh oh...yes, yes..."
Xia Yan could actually understand Mingbo's language now, and recovered quickly after experiencing a brief period of confusion.
Just as he was about to take out the wine from his pocket, something suddenly occurred to him.
Doesn’t giving him wine become charity?
What if this middle-aged beggar took the wine and ran away?
This is not possible, this is the general that I must win over!
You must have a good relationship with him!
Thinking of this, Xia Yan no longer hesitated and said to the beggar in front of him: "Uncle, I don't have anything with me. How about you go to the restaurant with me? I'll take care of your wine!"
Hearing this, the beggar smiled contemptuously.
"Can you control it enough? It's possible if someone else pours it, but you can't control my wine."
Xia Yan didn't care about the beggar's contempt and laughed it off as a joke.
"Let's go, I'll take care of it as long as it's enough."
When Xia Yan said this, the beggar didn't explain anything. He didn't even ask Xia Yan why he wanted to treat him to a drink. He just followed Xia Yan silently.
In this way, Xia Yan was in front and the beggar was behind, all the way to the restaurant.
Not long after, the two of them sat down one after another, and there were all kinds of sounds of disgust.
"Damn it, how could such a beggar appear in a place like this?"
"Fuck! I can't stand it anymore. I'm disgusted to death. I don't want to stay in this restaurant anymore!"
"Haha, you opened the business without even getting rid of the bed bugs. It seems like you are the shopkeeper"
It seems that because the smell of beggars is really irritating, many people choose to leave one after another, and some even directly curse and run away with the wine bottle from the restaurant without even paying the money.
Seeing this, the waiter and shopkeeper in the store tried to stop him everywhere, but after all, there were only two of them, so it had no effect.
And seeing people successfully evading fees in this way, more and more people started to follow suit, some holding wine bottles and others holding wine jars.
If you are really in trouble, just grab the chicken legs or roast goose on the table.
In short, only a handful of people paid money because of the beggars, and most people simply ran away.
And this directly made the shopkeeper furious. There were twenty or thirty tables of guests here, and in the end he only received a pitiful two or three taels of silver, which was not enough to pay for the food and wine.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper was naturally ready to vent his anger on the waiter, Xia Yan and others.
First, he yelled at the waiter: "You blind man, do you want to die if you let a beggar like this in?
With dozens of tables of guests, in the end I only received this two dollars, which is enough for me to eat?!&(#!@￥〃∪⊙…)”
Under the violent spray, the waiter was completely covered with spray, and he didn't dare to resist even a little bit.
On the side, Xia Yan and the beggar looked at the two of them silently.
It's not like the two of them like to watch the fun.
There was no other way. The two of them ran away as soon as a group of people came. They hadn't even ordered anything yet and had nothing to eat, so they could only watch like this.
But at this moment, the shopkeeper looked at him and it was obvious that he was not going to sell him wine. After scolding the waiter, he began to turn his attention here.
"You two have caused me to lose so much in vain. If you don't prepare enough money today, I will make you pay a heavy price."
The shopkeeper is fair and fat, and it can be seen that he should be a relatively kind person on weekdays.
It's just that today there were too many customers who fled and it was hard to accept it. But even so, the shopkeeper didn't say anything insulting.
After all, a lot of people did run away because of the middle-aged beggar.
Xia Yan actually had a somewhat apologetic look on his face and was about to speak, but the beggar beat him to it.
"Just take care of us two, the money will be enough."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's originally angry face suddenly showed a bit of astonishment, but he soon returned to anger, "Just you? Why should I trust you, a beggar?"
"It's not up to me, it's up to him."
As he spoke, the beggar pointed his finger at Xia Yan, took a jug of wine from the table of the guest who had run away and started drinking.
While drinking, he kept pouring another pot of wine into his own wine gourd, as if Xia Yan would run away as soon as he showed signs of being unable to pay.
Good guy, I have seen shameless people, but such shameless people are relatively rare.
But the more this happens, the more it means that he has not found the wrong person.
People who like to deceive themselves are just like their own sleeping dragons and phoenixes!
Thinking of this, Xia Yan burst out laughing and asked directly: "Shopkeeper, how much money can your restaurant earn every day?"
On the side, the waiter was already whispering to the shopkeeper that Xia Yan was the buyer who spent twenty taels on dinner yesterday, so when he saw Xia Yan today, he did not stop him even though he was bringing a beggar with him.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes jumped for a moment, then he came to Xia Yan and said thoughtfully: "My restaurant earns at least six... uh... fifty taels of silver every day!"
Originally the shopkeeper wanted to say sixty taels, but then he thought about it, that was too outrageous.
After all, not everyone is like Xia Yan, who can earn money while eating.
Among the people, one tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins, and copper coins are the most commonly used currency among the people.
Even if the consumption in Haishu City is higher than that in Daxia, it will definitely not cost money to eat.
Ordinary people can eat in restaurants for just a few hundred dollars.
Therefore, in a real sense, as long as you don't meet a wealthy person like Xia Yan, your daily income is as high as the sky, which is only twenty or thirty taels.
Saying fifty taels was actually a false report that he tried his best to make, and even his voice became much softer at the end.
Xia Yan actually knew a little bit about this. After all, when Daxia was poor in the past, an empire could only earn tens of thousands of taels a year, which was equivalent to one or two hundred taels per day.
He can have dozens of taels in a small restaurant, just tell the ghost.
But Xia Yan didn't bother to worry about it. After stealing a million taels of silver notes, he was only rich with money.
Besides, I am also a person who is going back soon, so what is the use of money?
So Xia Yan just narrowed his eyes and took out five silver ingots from his pocket.
The five silver ingots, which weighed about a hundred taels, were picked up by Xia Yan and smashed onto the table, making a heavy muffled sound.
"I'll take care of it today, now... prepare the wine."
