C1716 explosive news (1/2)
When they flattered him, the situation became even more awkward. The group of merchants were stuck in a dilemma, but at this moment, someone else came down from the pedals to help them out.
”Haha, Old Master's temper is really big. Ever since I boarded the ship, I've been scolded along the way …” ”Boss, please don't take it to heart. The old gramps is being pressured by the mission, he's so busy …”
When everyone saw this, they were startled, a few of them recognized this man, ”Bug Liu! Suzhou's Bug Liu! ”
old shopkeeper glared at him when he heard this. ”Shut up!” Are you the one who called me Bug Liu? The Prime Minister has bestowed upon Liu Chouchu the name, the people of Jiang Nan have addressed him as Mister Twitch, how dare you be so disrespectful! ”
The person who leaked the information quickly cupped his hands in apology. Liu Chouchu was not angry at all, ”It's fine, it's fine! My name was originally called that, but it was just a code name. It didn't matter what it was, as the Jiangnan people had been calling me a bedbug for half their lives. In the end, my life became more and more expensive as time went on … That's why you're flattering me! ”
”I haven't seen old shopkeeper in half a year, I really miss him. At noon, I specially booked the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant and chased away their master, the one I sent was my personal chef …”
”Oh yeah, there's also the pastries master of the Rice Worm family who went to give you a welcoming reception …” ”No matter how busy he is, the old man has to give you this much face!”
The Boss Mi would definitely not take this lying down. He quickly replied with a smile, ”Master has traveled a long way, he should have a drink. This will also give us a chance to be filial …”
Fan Lian looked at the expectant gazes of several tens of people on the dock, he knew that it was impossible to avoid such feelings. As long as he walked towards the direction of the restaurant with the crowd, even though everyone was holding onto their greetings, old shopkeeper still looked like he was burdened by heavy worries.
Sensing that something was wrong, Keeper Niu slowed down his steps and retreated a few steps back to Liu Chouchu's side. His face was filled with fat as he laughed, ”Why is Mr. Xi Men together with old shopkeeper? I wonder what exactly did you come to the Ryukyu for? ”
Liu Chouchu smiled mysteriously, ”Something big, of course it's something huge! ”My ship broke down at sea and coincidentally encountered old shopkeeper's Fan Li. Naturally, I borrowed old shopkeeper's Eastwind …”
Seeing that the other party was quite stubborn, Keeper Niu laughed, and in his hand a white light flashed and an object was stuffed into Liu Chouchu's hands, ”Recently I got a few pieces of Xinjiang's He Tian Yang Pi Bai, I see that old brother's jade pendant is a little small, let the Suzhou craftsmen think about it!”
The merchant was proficient in the art of gifting gifts. This piece of mutton fat white not only pulled some connections, but more importantly, displayed his own strength.
Sheep fat white jade was very expensive, but it was nothing to the God of Fortune, Liu Chouchu had a few pieces of Han Yu, Tang Yu, and Song Yu, but he had never thought of the new jade before.
But Liu Chouchu knew, that at the moment, the war in Xinjiang was raging, Yaqub was cutting his way through according to Zuo Zongtang's army heading west, carrying the coffin, swearing to pacify the western border, the jade road had long been broken.
To be able to get new jade from the broken jade road proved the strength of the Keeper Niu. The moment this jade came out, it implied that you could not leave me, and you have to ally with me no matter what you want to do in the market.
Liu Chouchu also didn't want to offend the Great God of Fortune, so he rubbed the Goat Fat White in his hand and said in a low voice, ”Big brother, you're really considerate … Actually, I came here to observe the ceremony, Ryukyu has something big to do! ”
”AHH!” Big Events... Is there a change to the Far East's franchise plan? ”
”No, no, the army is still there, but the Prime Minister's property seems to be changing!”
”Hiss …” Keeper Niu took a deep breath, ”The Prime Minister's estate is going to change? ”How do I change …”
”Don't be in such a hurry, Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant is right in front of you, I'll definitely tell you later …” ”Let me remind you, no matter what, you have to push forward. You will never have another chance like this ever again!”
