C26 (1/2)
There were more than ten tables in the old Ji Clan workshop. When the door was opened in the morning, the customers in line all rushed over and filled up the seats.
Wu Yuxue was a step too late. It was already too late for him to get on the table, so he sold two sets of fried dough sticks and a biscuit. He was about to leave. However, he was stopped by the kind grandfather of the Ji Clan with a pipe pole.
”Customer, you aren't a local, are you?” Grandpa Ji asked.
”Mm.” As Wu Yu Xue ate, she hesitated for a moment before she nodded and said, ”That's right, I am... Outsider... ”You …”
Haha …” The old man grinned and said, ”You caught up at night? Look at this body of dirt, come come come come come … ”Let's find a place to sit down and rest …” The old man was really warm-hearted. He held Wu Yuxue in one hand and pointed at the people in front of them with the pipe in the other. ”Excuse me …” This brought Wu Yuxue to the head of the group.
The seat was not empty. There was already a person sitting there like a man with a big knife. Good boy, he occupied the entire table of the Eight Immortals by himself!
”I'm sorry, gentlemen!” Old Grandpa Ji pulled out a chair for Wu Yu Xue to sit on as he greeted the guest. Squeeze it a bit! ”
”You …” The word ”egg” was left unsaid, leaving the other party some face. The customer suddenly stood up from his seat. It was obvious that he was unhappy.
Even Wu Yuxue was stunned, not to mention Old Grandpa Ji.
”Huh?!” The old grandpa looked a bit embarrassed as he sized up this unreasonable person.
He had a pale, pointed face, and his eyebrows were slightly raised. He was tall, and his waist was bent like a large shrimp. His entire body was covered in skin and bones, and not much more than four taels of meat. What an unreasonable face!
On his back was a large straw hat, a pair of short trousers, and a pair of glinting shoes. The red silk on the table held a thin box. The man glared angrily with his triangular eyes as he sized up Old Grandpa Ji, ”Old thing, don't you see that there are people here? Why are you trying to squeeze people in here? ”If it wasn't for your age, I'd skin you alive …
Oh my god, such an unreasonable customer! It really had been years since they last saw each other.
In his early years, he had practiced martial arts for a few years. Although he was already in his seventies, his skills were not weak. Furthermore, after practicing for so many years in this place, he had become rich in his later years of business. Who wouldn't smile and bow when meeting him? ”Greetings, greetings. Who is this kid?” You actually gave me face but didn't want it, instead, you're just about to peel it off. ”You … This bastard... ”Brat …” With a burst of anger in his heart, the old man's face and neck flushed red. Even his body was trembling, and a stick made from dry tobacco was almost pointing at the face of the man holding it.
Wu Yu Xue saw that something was going to happen and frowned. ”Forget it, forget it!” ”Old grandpa, you should sit down …” As he spoke, he pushed Grandpa Ji down onto a stool. He then looked at the unreasonable guest and said, ”Brother, what did you say? Why must you hurt me with your words? ”
Wu Yuxue did not want to stir up trouble, especially at this time.
”Who do you think you are? Get up! ” When that person made such a ruckus, he was obviously shocked. There was no sound from the surroundings.
Seeing that they were about to cause trouble, the Ji Clan members gathered around. The manager, Ji Tuo, was in his forties. He had a round waist and a deep red face. With a beard that could see through the flesh, how could he be easily bullied just by looking at his appearance?
As soon as Ji Tuo appeared, he smiled and cupped his hands to Wu Yuxue, ”Customer, you have no business here. Please take a seat, please take a seat …”
”Alright …” You came at the perfect time! ” The old grandpa was so angry that he rolled his eyes. He pointed at the skinny man and said, ”This customer belongs to the crab, he's tyrannical. He wants to peel my skin. Do you have any reason to tell me about it?”
Ji Tuo sized up this guest with a pair of cold eyes. He had a good idea of who this guest was. Those who ran in the martial arts world paid particular attention to the word 'familiar'. He could tell that the customer was not someone to be trifled with just by looking at his strange face. In the business world, one had to pay attention to all eight aspects, which was to say, 'make money through friendly means'. Don't look at how big of a waist Tito had, saying that sitting in the business is much more nimble than his father.
”If you have something to say, then let's talk. What do you want to say now?” Your mumbling... This business of ours is not going to be easy … ”If you have something to say, why don't we talk about it? Come on …” ”Sit …” He turned around and shouted, ”Come! Show the tea to the two esteemed guests! ”
Wu Yuxue was not surprised. She just sat there without moving. That skinny man seemed to have touched something and didn't want to flare up for a while. The thin customer sneered and sat down, the anger in his eyes still burning. He said, ”As long as there is a rule, I will go first.” Besides, we still have people coming over. It's not like I'm not paying! ” Speaking of money, he had already fished out one of his boss's ingots — it was a total of ten pieces, two pieces, one ingot of official silver. ”Humph!” Is it enough? I bought this table! ” With that, he placed the silver on the table and took his hand away.
