3. A teenager on horseback
The only difference between rich people and those who don't have money is that what rich people say is easy to believe, if they say that Zhu Dashao's stool contains a lot of gold, I believe that there will still be some idiots who will wait outside the thatched house every day to grab it.
Although these legends are a little outrageous, they invisibly prove that our eldest young master of the Zhu family is a very rich man.
Although Mr. Nie knows our wealthy Young Master Zhu, our wealthy Young Master Zhu doesn't seem to know Mr. Nie.
Young Master Zhu has a big family, a big business, and a great reputation, and he has long been famous, of course everyone knows it.
And Mr. Nie is just the owner of a restaurant in Huangshi Town, how can he be seen by a wealthy man like Zhu Dashao, who is big and powerful, and his eyes are above the top.
Zhu Dashao took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his forehead like a big girl puffing powder, and then, raised the horsewhip, pointed at Mr. Nie's nose, and said with disdain: "Are you the shopkeeper here?"
Mr. Nie hunched his waist and said kindly: "Exactly, the little old man's surname is Nie, thanks to all the friends in the rivers and lakes, he can afford to call him Mr. Nie." ”
Zhu Dashao rolled his eyes, pointed to the gold-lettered signboard hanging at the door, and sneered: "I heard that your welcome building is the largest and most pompous restaurant in the town?"
Mr. Nie said with a smile: "Although I don't dare to claim that this is the largest and most pompous restaurant in the town, but if the things ordered by the eldest young master, the small shop can still prepare more or less." ”
Zhu Dashao scratched his head with a horsewhip, and then, frowning, muttered to himself: "I have long known that in such a poor place, there will definitely be no decent place to stay. ”
With that, he raised his whip again, lightly tapped the yellow sand scattered around his body, and then, turning around, patted the big horse on the head, and said softly, "Old man, since there is no suitable place to go, then we will have to get together here first." ”
It was half to himself and half to the horse, and the horse, as if he understood, immediately licked his hand and barked twice, which was counted as an answer to him.
Major Zhu threw the bright red reins in his hand into the hands of the young man who had been waiting aside, smiling incessantly, and wanted to pat his ass, and raised his foot to enter.
Then, he casually threw a silver ingot in the young man's hand, and said proudly: "Hey, take care of it with good forage, raise it, and I will have a heavy reward, uncle." ”
The smile on the young man's face became stronger, and he bent his waist, as if he had seen his own grandfather, and said: "Yes, master, you can rest assured, everything is wrapped in the villain, if you are hungry and lose a hair of your baby, you will pluck off the hair of the villain's whole body." ”
Mr. Nie gave him a look, motioned for him to retreat quickly, and then raised his hand inward with one hand at Zhu Dashao, and said, "Young Master, please go inside." ”
Zhu Dashao put his hands behind his back, held his head high, dangled his two big fat legs, shook his horsewhip, and glanced at the layout of the entire welcome building with extremely disdainful eyes, then frowned, and said coldly: "Hmph, how can I have the appetite to eat in such a dirty place?"
Mr. Nie smiled: "This is easy to do, when the time comes, I will instruct the kitchen to pay special attention to replacing you with brand new dishes and chopsticks, especially to make them cleaner." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Dashao's brows stretched slightly, and he followed Mr. Nie into the private room upstairs.
Then, the guys in the shop suddenly became busy, cleaning the floor, and holding rags, and wiping all the tables and chairs in the private room, which were spotless, almost able to show the figures, and then hurriedly drew water and poured the tea leaves that Mr. Nie was reluctant to drink into the copper kettle, brought it in, and continued.
The private room, which was already pompous enough, was even more magnificent and pleasing to the eye after such a tidying up, and even the eldest young master who was picky had to nod.
Major General Zhu stepped on a stool with an elephant's foot, and a big fat hand waved a whip, kept knocking on the table, and shouted at Mr. Nie: "Hey, you have the best banquet here, how much silver is a table?"
Mr. Nie said with a smile: "We have the best bird's nest shark fin banquet here, fifty taels." ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Dashao couldn't help frowning again, and said, "How can people eat a banquet that is only fifty taels of silver per table?
Mr. Nie hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, as long as the eldest young master orders it, we will do the same for the banquet of one hundred taels, one hundred and fifty taels, and two hundred taels." ”
Zhu Dashao casually threw a few large ingots of silver on the table, threw away the horsewhip, wiped his hands with the handkerchief he carried, and said, "Two hundred taels of silver banquet, you prepare two tables for me." ”
He said this with great pride, just like the poor people who bought vegetables in the market said to the vegetable seller, "Weigh me two catties of old cabbage."
Mr. Nie smiled, and when he was laughing, a look of doubt flashed on his face, but this doubt disappeared immediately, and said, "Young Master, do you have a guest?"
Mr. Nie asked cautiously.
Zhu Dashao took out a new handkerchief again, wiped the sweat oozing from the tip of his nose, and then threw it into the paper basket, and said impatiently: "No, I'm alone." ”
Mr. Nie pointed to the silver on the table and said with a smile: "Then you want two tables of banquets, do you want to-"
Zhu Dashao immediately threw the handkerchief that wiped his sweat on the ground, and said even more impatiently: "Young Master Ben, I have money, I eat a table, look at a table, can't I?"
Mr. Nie had no choice but to smile and say, "Okay, okay, okay, as long as you are happy, young master, you can do anything." ”
No matter how arrogant his words were, Mr. Nie was a group of gentlemen, showing the unique cultivation of a businessman, but the others couldn't be angry, and even the guys who were still patting his ass just now were a little dissatisfied, and their mouths were high.
They quietly turned their backs and began to talk.
One of the fellows put his hand on the other man's ear and said, "Look at his bear-like appearance, I see, he is all burned with money." ”
The rest of the guys immediately nodded their heads in agreement.
At dusk, the wind picked up.
It was very windy.
The gusts of yellow sand raised by the wind filled the sky over the entire town of Yellowstone, like waving fluttering flags, hunting and hunting in the heavy twilight.
As the wind passed, a man riding a thin horse slowly walked into Yellowstone, and behind them, a long series of jingling bells were ringing.
If you listen closely, you may be surprised to see that these crisp bells do not come from the saddle, but from the neck of the man on horseback.
Horses are thin and small.
The man on the horse is thinner and smaller, and if you put him on the scale, he probably won't weigh much heavier than a rabbit.
In the neck of this thin and small boy hung a golden bell, and this bell was so large that it was almost like the young man's eyes.
The wind rises, the horse moves, and the bell makes a long series of jingling sounds with the rhythm of walking, as if composing a desolate song of the side.
