Chapter 424: A Thorny Gift
The nose was a little itchy, Yuan Fang, who was sleeping soundly, scratched his nose and turned over, but his ears itched again, Yuan Fang thought it was a fly or something, and waved his hand in annoyance, and then he heard someone muttering something next to him, he sniffed hard, and his drooping eyelids were weak and said, "You two little girls woke up and came to torture me, right?" Beware of the fact that I will punish you to clean the hut. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Sang Rou's mischievous voice sounded: "Oops, I was found." ”
Yuzuki smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, it's time to get up, someone outside wants to see you again." ”
Yuan Fang said depressedly: "Who is it, I haven't woken up yet." ”
Sang Rou shook the hammock slightly, and replied, "Who else could there be, it's those merchants." ”
With these two little girls making trouble, Yuan Fang knew that he couldn't sleep, so he reluctantly sat up, rubbed his face vigorously to wake himself up, stretched his waist, looked up at the sky, and said in surprise: "How long have I been sleeping?" ”
Sang Rou said while helping Yuan Fang tidy up his messy clothes: "It's been almost two hours." ”
Yuan Fang was surprised and said, "Damn, it's been so long, isn't it time for dinner?" ”
Yuzuki snickered and said, "I know that it will take a while to eat." ”
Yuan Fang said depressedly: "Who is here this time?" But you're really good at picking the time, and you won't take the time to come over for dinner, right? ”
Sang Rou glanced at Yuan Fang: "How is it possible, people are rich, and they still need us this meal?" ”
Yuzuki added: "They have been here for a while, and I didn't bother you when I saw that you were sleeping soundly, brother-in-law. ”
Yuan Fang appreciated and said: "It's still Yuyue who knows that he feels distressed. ”
Jieyue smiled proudly: "That's it, we don't feel sorry for our brother-in-law, who feels sorry for you." ”
As he spoke, Yuan Fang waved his body, and he was completely sober, and the feeling of headache after a hangover had disappeared, and his body was a lot more relaxed.
Yuan Fang took Sang Rou and Yuyue to the front hall, at this time, there were already many people gathered here, Yuan Fang knew almost all of them, they were all the merchants who participated in the auction, in addition, they were all followed by one or two servants carrying packages or boxes. Yuan Fang knew that those things should be gifts for them to honor themselves, and invited everyone to sit down with a smile.
Sure enough, after a few polite words, these guys sent gifts in the same way as Feng Xinghai in the name of local specialties, and Yuan Fang did not refuse to come, and smiled and accepted them one by one, so that these businessmen felt a little at ease, but they were also a little confused.
It was still perfunctory, without revealing any useful information, before dinner, he sent a group of businessmen away, and then, Yuan Fang couldn't wait to open a large pile of gifts to check. Rich people are different, the things they send are extremely precious and strange, such as egg-sized gems, ornaments made of pure gold, all kinds of mountain treasures and some vintage spirit grass, and even Yuan Fang found a gift list, which is only the same thing.
Yuan Fang took the gift slip for a while, Sang Rou leaned over and looked at it in surprise and said, "Tiger? Why didn't I see it? I don't think there's any. ”
Yuyue came over and frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, we won't be deceived, right?" There are no tiger ornaments here. ”
Yuan Fang frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be, these guys are richer than the other, and they shouldn't be so stingy." By the way, do you think this tiger is going to be alive? Sang Rou and Yuyue were stunned for a moment, and then looked nervously left and right, for fear that a tiger would really rush out.
Yuan Fang called out to the guards at the door and asked, "Did these people bring anything?" ”
The guard looked at Yuan Fang suspiciously, and said in his heart that the things he brought were not all here, but then he thought of something again, and hurriedly replied: "By the way, another person brought a big cage over and was sent to the backyard." ”
Yuan Fang asked, "What's inside?" ”
The guard shook his head: "I don't know, the cage is covered with a black cloth, and I heard the cavalry who sent the cage over say that it seems to be a living creature inside." ”
Yuan Fang was roughly sure that the cage should be filled with a tiger, but he asked puzzledly: "Then why did you send it to the backyard?" ”
The female soldier said, of course, "The man said it was a specialty of the mountains, so he sent it to the back kitchen." Yuan Fang was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and then ran away, he was really worried that the tiger was slaughtered by the cooks to cook, and those cooks could do anything.
Running all the way, when Yuan Fang, Sang Rou and Yuyue came to the back kitchen, they were all relieved when they saw the tiger in the cage, and then, Sang Rou and Yuyue ran to the side of the cage and pointed at the two little tigers who were only a foot long, with love on their faces.
Yuan Fang leaned over and took a look, the two little guys were really tiger-headed, they were lazily lying in the cage at this time and looked at everyone curiously, obviously, they were very unsuitable for the environment here and so many terrible humans, they were scared and trembling and huddled together, looking pitiful, very lovable.
Sang Rou took Yuyue's hand and said excitedly: "Ah, they are so cute, it's the first time I've seen such a small tiger, you see, that white paw, hehe, the mouth is so big." ”
Yuyue just wanted to reach in and touch the two cute little guys, but she retracted her hand again, turned her head and asked Yuan Fang, "Brother-in-law, do they bite?" ”
Yuan Fang shrugged: "How do I know, anyway, the guy who was angry just now has teeth, you can try." Yuzuki hesitated for a moment, looked at her hands, and finally didn't have the courage to try.
At this time, a fat cook came over with a sharpened knife and asked Yuan Fang with a smile: "My lord, how do you eat these two things?" Is it braised or boiled soup? ”
Yuan Fang rolled his eyes wildly, and before he could say anything, Sang Rou and Yuyue stopped doing it, pointing at the cook's nose and scolding, Sang Rou said angrily: "What to eat?" You can't bear to eat such a cute little guy? ”
Yuyue is even more direct: "I think it's boiling you, get out, none of you want to hurt them." The cook was stunned when he was scolded, and looked at Yuan Fang with a distress look, hoping that Yuan Fang could help say something, but he didn't want Yuan Fang not only not to help, but also to scold.
Yuan Fang drove away the cook, walked around the kitchen, and found celery to stretch into the cage and dangle in front of the eyes of the two little tigers.
Sang Rou said disdainfully: "Brother-in-law, tigers are not vegetarians. Yuan Fang shrugged: "Of course I know, I just tease them." ”
At this time, one of the little tigers lined up on the green stuff shaking in front of him with one paw, and then went up and took a bite, biting off a few celery leaves, and then, in the stunned eyes of Yuan Fang and the others, swallowed the leaves.
Yuan Fang and Sang Rou glanced at each other, and Yuyue was surprised and said, "No, is the tiger also a vegetarian?" ”
