Liu Ruyan immediately thanked Jin Buhuan, called the waiter over, and ordered a few home-cooked dishes.
Not long after, the food was presented to the table. The eight plates of delicacies were extremely exquisite, bringing together eight major cuisines from all over the world. The waiter put down the dishes and said with a respectful expression: "This is the meal you ordered, please enjoy it."
Bai Zhi paused and called him quickly: "These dishes are not what we ordered."
The waiter subconsciously looked at Jin Buhuan.
But seeing Jin Buhuai smiling kindly: "I see a few of you have come from afar. Since you are here at Zuixiaolou, you might as well try some of these dishes that bring together delicacies from all over the world."
"Thank you in advance for your kindness, brother." Liu Ruyan followed the good example. Since the people in front of her were the same as Bai Zhi and the others, as a member of the Eight Sages, it would be beneficial for her to join the camp as soon as possible.
Jin Buhuan has been around the market all year round and can talk eloquently to everyone. Within just one meal, he became familiar with Liu Ruyan and the others.
He has outstanding appearance, humorous conversation, and a gentle manner towards others. He can be called a humble gentleman.
Shen Yanchu sat opposite him, with a pair of cold eyes as calm as water, holding the cup with his long fingertips, and never said a word to him.
Jin Buhuan looked at the person opposite him from time to time. He said with an easy-going smile: "I think this gentleman behaves in an extraordinary way. I wonder if he is satisfied with the food here?"
Shen Yanchu suddenly raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on him casually.
Liu Ruyan suddenly secretly said something bad. With the devil's ascetic temperament, even the delicacies prepared by the royal chef were nothing in his eyes.
As expected.
Shen Yanchu looked at the dishes carefully and commented objectively: "The cooking is complicated and flashy."
Jin Buhuan's face froze, and then he laughed again: "Brother Shen is an extraordinary person, so the food and wine in Zuixiao House should not be eaten by your eyes."
He sighed while stroking his palms, and called the waiter: "Pay the bill for the guests here."
The waiter came over again: "Sir, please pay fifty cents. Our shop does not accept old coins from the past."
Bai Zhi took out the fifty new coins she had just received from her bag, and said politely to Jin Buhuan: "I don't dare to trouble Mr. Jin to spend money."
Jin Buhuan picked up the copper plate from the table, with the smile still in his eyes: "There are four of you, shouldn't you pay forty cents?"
Bai Zhi was stunned, is this settlement based on head count?
"What, did Jin make a miscalculation?" Jin Buhuan lowered his eyes with a respectful expression.
"What Young Master Jin said is true." Liu Ruyan nodded, "It is indeed a restaurant owned by Young Master Jin. The prices are fair and the children's wives are not deceived."
"Oh?" His eyes moved slightly, "How did you know that I am the owner of Zuixiao Tower?"
Liu Ruyan kept it secret: "You don't need me to explain, I think Mr. Jin can guess it."
After that, she got up and walked out of the restaurant.
Not long after Liu Ruyan and the others walked out of the restaurant, Jin Buhuan turned to look at the wine flag fluttering in the wind at the door. The words on it were written by him. He suddenly laughed, closed the folding fan in his hand, and along with it, the inscription on the fan was also Cover them up together.
People were coming and going on the street. Liu Ruyan was walking calmly when he suddenly heard a prompt: "The character in the plot will not change for gold, and the loyalty value is 10."
She knew very well that businessmen value profits. As long as she had no apparent conflict of interest with him and showed her own value in a timely manner, she could successfully form an alliance.
"It's just that I don't have any money anymore." Bai Zhi took out her purse and sighed, "I'll go to the hospital tomorrow."
"Actually, it's good to stay here for a while longer." Liu Ruyan comforted her kindly.
Since there are no new clues, keeping an eye on Jin Buhuan may be able to find out the whereabouts of Xuan Kun Yin.
Early the next morning, Liu Ruyan sat in the teahouse opposite Zuixiao Tower and ordered a pot of the most ordinary tea. People were coming and going outside the pavilion, and the surroundings were very noisy.
Dong Qingxian and Shen Yanchu sat on opposite sides, silently watching the refugees queuing up to receive porridge at the entrance of Zuixiao Tower. These people all held two white-faced steamed buns in their hands.
Dong Qingxian praised: "The refugees are fleeing from famine and have no food to eat. Mr. Jin is willing to do good and charity, which is really rare in this world."
Shen Yanchu shook his head: "This place is prosperous and safe from the war. The refugees are living here just to find a place to live. If there are merchants at this time who can provide two meals a day, it will naturally be more valuable than hiring good people in the city." Because it’s cheap.”
Dong Qingxian followed his gaze and looked at the man at the front of the team. This man was the steward next to Jin Buhuan. He was holding a book in his hand, recording the refugees who were willing to stay and work.
At this time, the queue for porridge stopped moving forward. Dong Qingxian turned around and saw the steward hurriedly walked towards the restaurant. Inside the building, a man dressed in Chinese clothes, Shi Shi Ranxing, came towards him. It was Jin Buhuan.
Jin Buhuan was a self-made man. At a young age, he was already a wealthy businessman in Huaxian County. He ran grain shops, silk shops, restaurants and other industries under his name. He was humble and polite, and his conduct was well-known. No one disrespected him.
Liu Ruyan saw that the housekeeper had a strange expression and whispered in Jin Buhuan's ear. She asked Dong Qingxian: "What are they talking about?"
Dong Qingxian immediately closed his eyes and listened carefully to the conversation between the two people. There were noisy sounds outside the pergola, such as hawking, shouting, and the sound of silk and bamboo. However, he had a very good ear and could distinguish the sounds of all things.
"Some refugees said that a strange thing happened in Yongshan..." Dong Qingxian closed his eyes slightly and sent a message to Liu Ruyan, "The sacrificial platform suddenly collapsed, and the pit it fell into was a hundred feet deep. , there are also many bronzes and pottery figurines..."
"It's a robber cave." Liu Ruyan suddenly thought that according to his description, some people were waiting for an opportunity to destroy the sacrificial altar. "What else did they say?"
Dong Qingxian opened his eyes: "Jin Buhuan asked the housekeeper to ask people who are familiar with the terrain of Yongshan Mountain and said that he wanted to go to the sacrificial altar in person."
"Oh?" Liu Ruyan raised her eyebrows. She didn't believe that the wealthy businessman ignored his huge property and traveled thousands of miles to the barren mountains and old forests. She didn't believe it for any purpose.
She thoughtfully said: "We will find a way to keep up with the gold."
After Shen Yanchu learned that the sacrificial platform had collapsed, his eyes changed slightly - the so-called robbery cave contained the Qin Dynasty Sword Tomb!
Thinking of the sword tomb, Shen Yanchu had an idea in his mind.
Jin Buhuan is also looking for accurate information about the sacrificial altar, and is even willing to pay a high price to hire a guide.
In less than half a cup of tea, a dozen refugees had already come over to inquire.
Liu Ruyan, on the other hand, saw the right opportunity and walked into Zuixiao Tower, walked directly to the man sitting by the window listening to music, and casually unfolded the terrain map of Yongshan Mountain she had just drawn.
In the map, mountain roads, rivers and valleys were drawn in detail, and the sacrificial platform was marked on a mountain. The map was unfolded for the first time, and before Jin Buchan could take a closer look, she took it into her arms.
Liu Ruyan said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I am not very talented. I know a little bit about map drawing and Zhouyi Feng Shui. I wonder if I can catch the eyes of Mr. Jin?"
Jin Buhuan sat up slightly, rested his forehead on his hands, his eyes seemed gentle and caring, and when he smiled, his tone was casual, but there was a hint of saltiness in it: "Young brother is so great, how can you be willing to ride a horse for someone else?"
