Xu Ping and Jiu Shu chatted while walking, asking him about the situation in Maoshan. After understanding almost everything, they returned to the City God's Temple.
At this time, in front of the City God's Temple, the elderly Miao Zhu led a few people to clean the street in front of the door.
But if others look at it, they will find that there is nothing under the broom in their hands.
What they were holding in their hands were broomsticks made of peach wood, with exorcism runes carved on them.
Although all the evil spirits have been sent to the underworld, there are still residual yin and evil spirits. If not cleared away in time, they may easily hit passers-by.
They wanted to sweep the area before dark, but to others, it seemed like they were cleaning the air.
It is precisely because of this that today the Chenghuang Temple is closed and no incense is allowed. Even pilgrims who come are advised to return.
However, the City God, General Qin, would not come out during the day. After all, he was a yin god and would only come out at night to cause trouble.
Seeing Xu Ping and Uncle Jiu walking over, Lao Miaozhu raised his head and smiled naively, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Lin, you are back."
This old Miao Zhu was a resident nearby. He originally had a son, but his son was ambitious and joined the army, so he had no one to take care of him.
The City God saw that he was extremely pious every time he came, so he showed up late one night and ordered him to bless the temple here.
Miao Zhu saw Xu Ping's feat last night, so regardless of his age, he respected him as his sir.
Xu Ping also greeted him politely and then asked: "Are my friends awake?"
Laomiao Zhu chuckled: "I'm awake now, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Ping heard bursts of shouts coming from inside the temple.
Xu Ping and Uncle Jiu looked at each other, both seeing the other's shock.
Why did it seem that Gu Nianhua was fighting with someone?
The two of them walked in quickly, with quick steps, and saw three beautiful figures from a distance, like butterflies piercing flowers.
The weapons collided and made a crisp sound.
In the corridor nearby, Yang Honghu, the younger brother of the two sisters, watched with great interest and applauded from time to time.
Beside him, Li Qinghe also squinted his eyes and looked helpless.
"stop!"
Xu Ping shouted, and the Yang sisters and Gu Nianhua stopped their hands at the same time, both of them extremely obedient.
"Brother Xu, who is she (them)?"
The three girls spoke at the same time, and their voices were as sweet as the morning calls of magpies.
Xu Ping was suddenly stunned by the sudden question. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak.
Uncle Jiu also looked over curiously, seeming to be waiting for him to answer his questions, and at the same time thought in his mind.
The young Mu Ai can understand. Xiao Xu is a young man after all, and he is not an ordained monk, but how could it be...
At least it shouldn't be, look for two at the same time, right?
He automatically ignored his apprentice.
Xu Ping was silent for a long time before asking: "Why did you start fighting?"
"she……"
The three of them scrambled for the first place again, and Xu Ping's face turned anxious, "Brother Li, tell me."
Seeing that the three of them were trying to mess with each other again, he turned the gun directly and asked about the only man on the field who could still hold his own.
Yang Honghu was still a little kid, and Xu Ping discovered that this kid rarely talked. Most of the time, he would just grin and laugh silly.
Li Qinghe also looked helpless and leaned into Xu Ping's ear to talk about what had just happened.
It turned out that when Gu Nianhua woke up, she found that she was sleeping on the bed where Xu Ping had been lying on. She immediately became uneasy.
Am I not catching ghosts? Why did I catch myself on the bed?
After realizing it, she was about to go out to find someone, when she heard a woman's shouts outside, and from time to time, there was the sound of weapons clashing.
She immediately became alert and ran out in a hurry.
When the two golden flowers of the Yang family saw a girl running out of Xu Ping's room, they were so frightened that the bright silver spears in their hands fell to the ground.
The three of them asked each other tentatively, and found out that although Gu Nianhua looked small, she was actually about the same age as herself.
Yang Feiqiao was no longer calm. He looked at the girl in front of him and began to think: Could it be that I misjudged him? This Xu Ping is really a pervert.
Yang Feiyan was still helping me, sister, please be careful.
Gu Nianhua originally heard that the two knew Xu Ping, but she also misunderstood, and felt a little inexplicably depressed.
When he heard what the two people said again, he started to ridicule them, especially Yang Feiqiao, who was so proud of himself.
At this moment, the powder keg exploded.
The three of them didn't know why, but it was natural for them to fight together.
Li Qinghe, who had watched from the sidelines until now, could only look helpless. He knew that Xu Ping was definitely not such a person.
It's rare that I come from Renjia Town on a business trip and I don't go out to spend the night to spend money. I'm really not a qualified boss.
"That's it?"
"That's it, you guys started fighting?" Xu Ping was speechless and glared at the three of them angrily.
Yang Feiyan was the first to say: "I'm not fighting, I'm helping my sister."
Gu Nianhua had an idea: "I didn't fight, I just competed with them."
Yang Feique held it in for a long time before spitting out a sentence: "That's it."
Uncle Jiu smiled when he saw this, and gestured to the bag he bought in his hand: "Xiao Xu, no wonder you have to buy so much food."
"..."
After sitting down, there were buns, steamed buns, soy milk and the like on the table. I thought there would be chatter again.
There was rare silence at the dining table.
Xu Ping was drinking soy milk and saw Yang Feiqiao holding a big meat bun in his hand and looking at him from time to time. He finally couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you?"
Yang Feiqiao nodded hesitantly, "Let's talk alone later."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nianhua put down the bowl in her hand and looked at the two of them with alert expressions.
I don't want to bear the title of pervert... Xu Ping said directly: "We are not outsiders here, just say what you have to say."
Yang Feiqiao was silent for a moment and said, "I plan to take my younger brothers and sisters back to Renjia Town in the next two days..."
"And you?"
I haven't discussed the specific sales issues with Karl yet, but there is also a vampire named Dracula coming, and there might be some trouble...
Xu Ping said: "I still have something to do, and I won't be returning to Renjia Town for a short time."
Yang Feiqiao nodded and was stunned for a while, but did not say anything and continued to cook.
Glancing at Li Qinghe, Xu Ping said: "If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for two more days, and it will not be too late to take our boat back."
Let's chat with Karl today and after signing the contract, we can let shopkeeper Li go back first.
The two girls were not lazy in their marksmanship, which allowed them to protect the ship. If they encountered ordinary pirates, they would probably not be their match.
Yang Feique looked at his younger siblings. Yang Feiyan raised her head and said with excitement: "Sister, let's go shopping these days."
Yang Honghu grinned happily. Although he did not speak, it was obvious that he agreed with this decision.
After finishing the meal, Xu Ping took Li Qinghe to Baitong Trading Company.
"Boss Xu, how did you get in touch with that foreigner?" Li Qinghe looked curious as he walked on the road.
It was said that he came to the provincial capital to try his luck, and he really got it. Is it so easy to do business?
Of course it was with force... Xu Ping said without changing his expression: "I impressed him with my sincerity."
Li Qinghe looked at him in disbelief, "Sincerity, why do you have it? You are not a stunning beauty who has conquered the country. How much is your sincerity worth?"
But when he dissed his boss, he took it to heart and said that he should still treat his boss with a minimum of respect.
"Boss Xu, you are so awesome. Hey, did you hear anything last night? I always felt like a female ghost was howling in my ears."
Gu Xi
There are so many ghosts screaming, why did you hear the voice of a female ghost? Something is wrong with you... Xu Ping said directly: "Don't think too much, it's because you are having an erotic dream."
It seemed that he had been holding it in for too long. Li Qinghe thought in his mind and said it out: "Boss Xu, how about we go to Huaweidu tonight to open our eyes?"
Whose eyes to open...
Xu Ping glanced at him and said, "You can go ahead if you want. This won't be reimbursed."
Li Qinghe suddenly became mysterious, "Boss Xu, of the three girls just now, which one is the second aunt?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping was stunned on the spot. Why do you think so? They are still children.
Xu Ping rolled his eyes at him, and the latter had an epiphany and exclaimed: "It can't be all right, Boss Xu, you are really awesome, you are so young..."
"You really think I'm a pervert? If you go to that ferry boat place at night, you'll have to pay all the expenses." Xu Ping shouted.
It's not for anything else, it's just to prove that I'm definitely not a pervert and my orientation is normal.
When they came to the street, they stopped a car, which was still a Ford T-type convertible. The breeze blew all the way to Belden Trading Company.
At this moment, the counter on the first floor of the business store displays a dazzling array of products.
From time to time, businessmen from other provinces and many foreign friends hang out here.
In fact, relying on the natural geographical advantages of the provincial capital, the business of the commercial bank has always been good, and the import and export business is in full swing.
Li Qinghe was dumbfounded and looked at Xu Ping with only admiration in his eyes.
Having a relationship with such a trading house means that your lumber business will never have to worry about sales.
Li Qinghe seemed to be at ease in this environment, and he blended in within a short time.
In a short period of time, we even reached preliminary cooperation intentions with several businessmen from Hong Kong Island.
Not long after, Xu Ping found Karl drinking coffee on the sofa in a remote place, but he saw a melancholy look on his face.
That scene is like Romeo losing Juliet.
Xu Ping stepped forward and chuckled: "Mr. Karl, whose girl did you get so obsessed with?"
Li Qinghe couldn't understand what he said in English at all, so he just stood aside silently.
When Carl saw Xu Ping, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Mr. Xu, you're finally here. Come on, let's go up and chat."
Xu Ping followed him with a puzzled look on his face, and Li Qinghe followed Xu Ping with a confused look on his face and entered the room on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the room, Karl bowed 90 degrees and said, "Mr. Xu, you must save me, otherwise they will break my neck."
Carl's face was full of urgency, like a drowning man who finally found a lifeline and refused to let go.
He even squeezed out a tear from the corner of his eye.
Li Qinghe was stunned. What kind of situation is this? He gave such a big courtesy as soon as he came up. Are all foreigners so polite?
He subconsciously prepared to return the favor, but when he saw Xu Ping turning around and sitting on the sofa, he pretended to pat the non-existent dust on his trousers.
"Tell me slowly, what happened and who are they?"
After saying that, Xu Ping smiled and said: "For the sake of my partners, if you can help me, I will definitely help you."
When Karl heard this, he suddenly became excited and swept away his previous gloomy expression: "That's great, Mr. Xu, I knew you wouldn't just sit idly by."
Xu Ping asked directly: "What do you mean?"
"Among our vampire family, there is a very powerful family called the Dracula family. Every member of their family hates humanity and is notorious among us."
"Now, they have set their sights on the mysterious eastern world again, and I got news that a powerful Count Dracula will come here."
It turns out that this is the case, then I have known about it for a long time, and your news is too late... Xu Ping calmed down and asked: "Aren't they the same kind of people as you, and they will come here to break your neck?"
Karl shook his head and quickly denied: "No, no, no, we are not the same kind. They are the leaders of the Devil's Party. We are the leaders of the Secret Party, and we are natural enemies."
"You guys are still having internal strife?"
"There is no way, everyone's ideas are different."
Xu Ping nodded. There is nothing wrong with this. In any case, people of the same kind or class will have two opposite sides.
Unless this group is facing a life and death test.
Xu Ping thought for a moment and said, "So, do you think he might come to trouble you?"
"It's not possible..." Karl shook his head and said with determination: "They will definitely come and break my neck, because the two people you killed were their pioneers."
"They are dead but I am alive. For them, this is the biggest sin."
In fact, there were three... Xu Ping did not say that he had killed a vampire with black stockings and high heels. He just said with a speechless face: "We haven't come yet. You are afraid of this. Let's talk about it when we come."
Karl asked weakly: "Mr. Xu, you will help me, right?"
Xu Ping chuckled: "Mr. Karl, I don't know if you have heard of a word..."
"Exchange of equal value!"
Carl was stunned for a moment, then understood instantly, "Mr. Xu, the cooperation we discussed before, I am willing to purchase all the wood, coffins, wood carvings and other products from you at a price three times higher than the market price. Do you think this is okay?"
"
Xu Ping remained calm and just said, "What's going on? I've been here for a long time and I don't even have a cup of tea."
"..."
The two of them had been communicating in English, and Li Qinghe didn't understand even a single sentence, but judging from their expressions, we could tell how the two sides were progressing.
Boss Xu is really not that simple. He can tell at a glance that this foreigner has been taken advantage of.
After a while, Karl finally exhaled a breath and slumped down on the sofa, the big stone in his heart falling to the ground.
"How's it going? Have you reached an agreement?" Seeing that the two of them had stopped talking, Li Qinghe quickly put down his tea cup and asked.
Xu Ping glanced at Carl and said in Chinese: "It's not bad, we sell it overseas, and this guy is willing to buy it at a price five times higher than the market price."
Li Qinghe was stunned and blurted out: "Five times! Boss Xu, are you kidding me?"
"not enough?"
Seeing that Xu Ping didn't seem to be joking, Li Qinghe lost his composure, "This foreign... boss, is he really willing to pay five times the price?"
"Um……"
"Boss Xu, I want to ask you how you fooled him?"
…
The sun is fading.
Throughout the day, Xu Ping acted as a translator for Li Qinghe and Karl, finalizing the details of the cooperation.
After a busy day, although he was very tired, Karl was very happy and immediately offered to do something.
Invite Xu Ping and Li Qinghe to have a meal and relax.
This sense of déjà vu is like having a drink and washing your feet after discussing business with a supplier, and becoming familiar with each other.
Naturally, Xu Ping would not refuse. Now that we have finished talking about serious matters, it is reasonable to relax and enjoy yourself.
Moreover, you didn't look at Li Qinghe next to him, who was already happy and turned into a flower.
Although Karl is a stranger, he is a stranger in a foreign land. He likes to ask where there is a small waist.
On the contrary, he is an experienced driver.
He took Xu Ping and Li Qinghe to the busiest street in the provincial capital, a Japanese food store with neon lights.
In a previous life,
Western food, kimchi, and Japanese food were delivered by a truck before Xu Ping had time to taste them.
I didn't expect to have this opportunity.
What's even more coincidental is that as soon as I entered the store, I met an acquaintance.
Sun Hai.
After asking, I found out that he planned to study abroad in Japan recently and learned Japanese in this environment first.
Thinking that the person in front of him was someone he could befriend, Xu Ping pulled him with an embarrassed look on his face and asked Sun Hai, who was about to leave, to have another extra lesson.
As soon as he walked into the store and smelled the cloying fragrance, Xu Ping suddenly frowned and froze in place.
