Nine hundred and sixtieth chapters tea and white water
Zhu Zhi stood up and poured tea for Li Luo and Zhou Fang. As soon as the tea left the pot, Zhu Zhi was stunned. It was not that the fragrance of the tea was extraordinary, but that the tea was too weak, almost the same as boiled water.
Zhu Zhi opened the lid of the pot and took a look, and couldn't help but feel angry. What kind of tea was this? There were a few tea leaves soaked in the pot of water that could be counted at a glance, floating alone and thinly on the water.
"What's wrong? Could it be that there are bugs in my tea?"
Zhu Zhi gave a bitter smile and said: "Shopkeeper, this is not tea, it's just plain water."
The woman snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "It would be nice to have water to drink, but tea is not produced here. Do you think everyone has valuable tea? You don't know what is good and what is bad."
Zhu Zhi was a little dumbfounded, but he was not annoyed. However, the ordinary tea leaves elsewhere in Dagan could be considered valuable here, which was really beyond Zhu Zhi's expectation.
"Forget it, as long as you have water to drink, it doesn't matter if you have tea or not." Li Luo said with a smile, indicating that Zhu Zhi didn't need to pursue the matter.
The woman frowned, went to mend her clothes on a small stool nearby, and ignored Li Luo and the others.
Li Luo and Zhou Fang couldn't help but laugh. It was very rare to open a shop like this, and it didn't seem like a woman's job.
A few people drank the so-called tea and chatted about what they had seen and heard along the way. Zhu Zhi occasionally added a few business words about purchasing. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have a decent appearance and a bit of a businessman.
The woman sat quietly aside, sewing the clothes in her hands carefully, without raising her head for a long time, and was extremely focused.
Zhou Fang glanced at the woman without leaving any trace, and winked at Li Luo. Li Luo understood and nodded lightly.
Although Zhou Fang was not as good as Mu Tianlang and other generals in marching and fighting, his eyesight was indeed not weak.
After staying in Zhuo City for a long time, I have seen quite a few women. Although the woman in linen in front of me looks ugly, she has a very good figure. Even coarse clothes and linen cannot cover it up. She is really exquisite and graceful, even if she is moonlight.
The beautiful women from Xia Chunjiang may not be as good as him.
Zhou Fang coughed lightly, put aside these inappropriate speculations in his mind, and asked harmoniously: "Sister, I..."
"Eldest sister? How old am I?" The woman suddenly raised her head, glared at Zhou Fang with dissatisfaction, then suddenly smiled and said, "She seems to be older than you guys, so she is right to be called eldest sister."
Zhou Fang hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what to call you at the moment. Please forgive me for offending me."
"You know what I mean, my name is Su Niang, you can use my name. Even calling me eldest sister makes me old." The woman was angry and smiling, her expression changing rapidly, which made even a veteran like Zhou Fang unable to resist,
He coughed dryly to cover up the embarrassment on his face.
Hearing the sound, she hurriedly changed her address: "Su Niang, I want to ask you, where is the place to stay in this horse resting shop?"
Su Niang pursed her lips, pointed to the inn diagonally opposite and said, "There is an inn there, but a few foreigners came here a few days ago, so I guess there will be no vacancies."
Zhou Fang was at a loss for words. Didn't he say it in vain? He clearly saw that several people were coming from the inn, but he was still talking nonsense. Wasn't he deliberately teasing himself?
Su Niang didn't seem to notice Zhou Fang's expression, and was about to pick up the front line in her hand. Zhou Fang suppressed his annoyance and asked angrily: "It is true that there are no vacancies. I wonder where I can find an inn?"
"No, it's just this big place. There's only this inn. If there's nothing there, there won't be one anywhere else."
"Are there any abandoned houses? As long as we can live in them."
Su Niang suddenly looked at Zhou Fang and others warily, and asked warily: "What are you doing here?"
"We? Why are Su Niang asking these questions?"
"Hmph, I don't think you are good people. Could it be that you are Meng Jue's spies who sneaked here?"
Zhou Fang laughed and said: "Su Niang is wrong. We are ordinary people of Dagan, and we are definitely not Mongolian spies. To be honest with Su Niang, we are all brothers from the same hometown, and we are here to meet each other."
Try your luck and earn some money so that you can go back and marry a wife and have children."
"Stop pretending to be here for me. I've seen a lot of people who come here to exchange their lives for money, but I've never seen anyone like you." Su Niang said angrily. She didn't care for the moment, but I called herself "Lao".
Already.
Zhou Fang had a headache. This rough village woman was really not easy to fool.
Li Luo smiled and said, "What does Su Niang think businessmen like us should look like?"
"What does it look like? A master who is scheming, greedy for money, and reluctant to spend a word." Su Niang said angrily, as if she had any disputes with these merchants in the past.
Li Luo laughed and said, "So in Su Niang's opinion, we are not yet cunning and greedy for money, so I would like to thank you for thinking highly of us."
Su Niang curled her lips and said: "What's the good thing? Those real villains are always better than the hypocrites who hide their heads and show their tails."
Li Luo was startled and asked calmly: "Then who does Su Niang think we look like?"
"You guys are probably robbers who robbed homes."
Zhu Zhi and the others couldn't help but laugh. This plain girl looked vulgar, but her temperament was not annoying.
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "If we are robbers, aren't you afraid that we will kill people and silence them?"
Su Niang snorted coldly and replied: "Just die, what's the big deal, anyway, this world doesn't let people live. Besides, there is the Dagan Army Camp in front of you. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape. This business
It’s not very cost-effective.”
Li Luo was noncommittal and laughed harmoniously: "We are not robbers. As my brother said just now, we are indeed here to try our luck."
"real?"
"Absolutely true."
"Are you really doing business?" Su Nianghu asked.
"Let's put it this way, it's true that we are from the same hometown, and it's true that we make money. We have some money in the clan, but who would think that the money we make is small."
"Greedy, you've all fallen in love with money. If you have a life to make money, you have to have a life to spend it. Then what are you doing here?"
"Hey, don't you know?"
"what do you know?"
"Dagan and Mengjue want to open Shangfu."
"Oh." Su Niang responded disapprovingly, "Just leave it alone, what does the affairs of the imperial court have to do with us common people?"
"The relationship is not small."
Su Niang snorted, but she also pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what Li Luo meant by saying that the relationship is not small.
"In the past, the business between Dagan Travel and Mengjue was a private transaction. Although the government did not pay much attention to it, it could not be seen in the light after all.
However, once Shangfu is opened, the merchants of the two families will have a place to bargain, and then these rare Mongolian goods will be worth a lot of money.
