Chapter 162 Liu Pei
When the waiter in the shop brought the ready-made clothes, An Zhinan tried it on first, and after confirming the fit, he was greeted by the waiter in the shop warmly and respectfully before leaving.

Halfway into an uninhabited alley, put on the dark green ready-made clothes, hang all the jade pendants and fan purses on the body, and put the ink clothes back into the space, and then opened the folding fan with a 'swish' and slowly swayed, walking on the road and received many girls. attention.

Walking into the restaurant, he glanced at the lobby calmly, and then his eyes fell directly on the person in the front left, fearing that the person would notice, An Zhinan glanced back, then went to sit next to the person, and called Xiaoer After ordering a cup of Maojian, he fanned himself on the chair and listened to the discussions of the people around him.

The man was dressed in a red and black long gown, with a square appearance, about the same age as An Zhongyuan, at the moment he was drinking and eating peanuts, his brows and eyes were full of sadness.

The eyes of most people in the lobby fell on that person from time to time, but An Zhinanquan pretended not to see him, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

About a stick of incense, the man staggered to his feet, An Zhinan's eyes fell on the man's waist, a dark light flowed in his eyes, then he reached into his sleeve and took out a peach pit, and looked at the man while he was not paying attention. The man quickly shot to the waist.

As soon as the man walked out of the restaurant, An Zhinan got up instantly, walked to the place where the man had just been sitting, bent down to pick up a purse, and noticed a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on the bottom of the purse, An Zhinan raised his eyebrows lightly, leaving ten Wen Qian was placed on the table, turned around and chased it out.

There wasn't much traffic around the restaurant, so he soon spotted the man's back, An Zhinan quickened his pace to catch up, and shouted loudly while running: "The big brother in front, stop."

Maybe it was because he was drunk that he didn't hear An Zhinan's voice at all, or maybe he heard it but didn't know he was calling, and didn't respond at all.

Seeing this, An Zhinan gritted his teeth, tapped his toes a few times to chase after the man, patted the man's shoulder with his hand, and raised the purse in his hand until the man turned his head and asked, "Brother, this belongs to you." ?”

The man was puzzled at first, and when he saw the purse, he took the purse in his hand and turned it over and over to examine it carefully.

Seeing his nervous expression, An Zhinan smiled slightly: "Brother only looks at the face and doesn't look at the belongings inside?"

The middle-aged man seemed to have just realized it, and cupped his hands towards An Zhinan: "Thank you, my lord, for returning the purse."

An Zhinan waved his hand, and said indifferently: "I was drinking tea in the restaurant just now, and saw a purse dropped from under the stool after you left, so I chased after you. It seems that it is really something left by the elder brother, and now it is returned to its original place. The Lord will be well."

"Young master is not ignorant of picking up money, I really don't know how to thank you, and what should I call you?"

"Seeing that my elder brother is slightly older than me, just call me Xiaonan."

The man twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a stiff smile, looked around and pointed to the restaurant and said: "It must be because of this purse that the young master's business is delayed, otherwise, if the young master is fine, I will invite you to the restaurant for a drink or two? "

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, An Zhinan nodded without changing his face: "It was just a matter of convenience, so it's not good to make big brother spend money, but when I first met big brother, I felt kind, like an elder brother in my family. Since my elder brother invites me, how can I refuse?" .”

"Haha, I also see that Xiao Nan, you are a happy person. I like to deal with happy people. Let's go and have a drink or two, so I will recognize you as a brother."

After speaking, he hooked An Zhinan's shoulders, looking like a good brother.

An Zhinan resisted the desire to tear him away, and followed him back to the restaurant.

The two of them didn't sit in the lobby this time, they went directly to the box, called the waiter to bring two jugs of good wine, and then you drank one cup after another.

"Look at my memory, I just forgot to introduce. My surname is Liu and my name is Pei. You call me Brother Pei. I don't think Xiao Nan is from Fucheng, but you came here to play?"

"It's true. I was bored at home, so I just went out for a walk. I met a lot of bright people along the way, and my horizons were broadened. Sure enough, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. My ancestors will not deceive me."

Liu Pei laughed, drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp, and said loudly: "That's natural, what the predecessors said is reasonable, but Xiao Nan looks gentle, and he is really a straightforward person."

An Zhinan smiled and nodded: "I am born with this appearance. Many people only think that I am a frail scholar. Just now I sat at the table next to Brother Pei downstairs. Seeing Brother Pei's appearance just now, he seems to have something on his mind?"

Speaking of his concern, Liu Pei's smile faded, and he sighed heavily and said: "I think you must have heard of the border war. From ancient times to the present, as long as it is a war, there will be turmoil. The border war is tight. Your brother and I were arranged to collect Grain, I originally thought that the harvest in the past two years would be good, so it should not be difficult, but I thought that every household was worried about the turmoil and was unwilling to sell more, and the higher-ups told me not to buy or sell by force, so it was very difficult for me to do it."

"I've heard a lot about the war at the border, but I didn't expect the shortage of food and grass to be so bad. It's hard for Brother Pei."

Liu Peimeng drank a glass of wine and sighed: "That's right, the higher-ups only know how to assign tasks, and the people are worried about the impact of the turmoil. It's really hard for us to execute. No matter what we do, we will not please both ends."

"Although there are many people who are unwilling to sell, there should be others who sell it. After all, it is about the border. If the border fails, the enemy army will drive straight in. At that time, even if there is food in hand, it is difficult to keep alive."

Speaking of this, An Zhinan changed the subject: "However, I do know a person. His family specializes in harvesting grain and has a large rice store. I heard from him that he has a large backlog of grain and is worried about how to sell it. "

Sure enough, Liu Pei's eyes lit up as soon as An Zhinan's words came out, and he raised his head to look at An Zhinan eagerly: "Really? Where is he?"

"It's not far from Fucheng, and I met by chance some time ago. We got along with each other for a few days and we have a good friendship. It's just that the crops have been harvested a few years ago, and he went to various places to collect a lot of grain storage at one time. How can the common people If there is no shortage of food, I will naturally not buy any more. No, this year the rice store has also collapsed, and there is a large backlog of food in my hand. If Brother Pei is interested, I will give him a letter of divorce and ask him if he can sell the food. "

Liu Pei nodded again and again, excited: "Yes, of course I mean it, please ask Xiao Nan to help me ask him, if there is still food, I will take it."

"All collected? I heard him say that his warehouse has tens of thousands of catties of grain. Brother Pei really wants it?"

"If you want it, of course you want it, the more the better."

An Zhinan gave Liu Pei a peaceful look, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Pei is in a hurry, I'll go back and write a letter to inquire now. Brother Pei can leave an address. If it is urgent, we will be there in about two or three days." Believe me."
