Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 48
Wen Liang was surrounded by a group of coquettish girls the moment he stepped into the Wind and Rain Building, and he was relieved to find Wen Qian's figure when he turned around.

Thinking that his purpose tonight was to help Agan cover, he was naturally not polite.

He looked up and saw around the hall, which was full of young men from various families in Anle Town and dudes of wealthy businessmen. He immediately pushed away the girl beside him, and came to a young man wearing high-quality silk and satin.

He took off his pannier, put it in front of this person, picked up a piece of peeled sugar cane, and greeted him with a smile: "This brother, you have seen a lot of knowledge, you must know what I have in my hand." history!"

Tao Zhe, who was tasting tea alone, was taken aback by Wen Liang's acquaintance, "Brother, are you talking to me?"

Wen Liang's face changed slightly, why didn't this person answer according to common sense, he laughed and said, "Look at what you said, I'm not talking to you, who else can I talk to, you know this thing, but it's a rare thing in Fanbang small country. The thing is called sugar cane!"

Tao Zhe looked at the yellowish and white sugar cane in Wen Liang's hands, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, this person is here to sell things?

Dare to sell sugar cane in the lobby of Fengfenglou, and even make up excuses for a small country, this person is not deliberately finding fault, or an ignorant person is fearless!
With this unwarranted courage, I can try it out!
Immediately, Tao Zhe put on a look of understanding, nodded and said: "Brother Tai is right, this sugarcane is indeed a rare thing in a small country in Fanbang. I just heard about it and never saw or eaten it. It’s amazing to be able to get it, I heard that this thing is very delicious, but is it true?”

Wen Liang was stunned, why did this person suddenly become smarter, and he was completely ignorant of what he was expecting him to say.

After Tao Zhe finished speaking, seeing that he didn't answer, he slammed his teacup heavily.

Wen Liang came back to his senses, and smiled: "Brother Tai is absolutely right, since you haven't eaten it, I'll give you this section of sugar cane."

Speaking of stuffing sugar cane into Tao Zhe's hand, he wanted to explain how to eat this thing.

At this time, the man at the next table noticed the conversation between the two, and immediately leaned over: "Brothers, excuse me, what kind of sugar...is it really edible?"

"That's not true." Wen Liang raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly: "This sugar cane is sweet, it quenches thirst and satiates hunger, I'll eat it for you to see!"

After finishing speaking, he took out another section of sugar cane from the back basket, and saw that there were more and more people around him, so he immediately took a bite, and it turned into bagasse after a few clicks.

Then he explained that the bagasse can also be eaten, but it is a bit choking, and told them that eating too much can cause constipation, and it is best to only eat sugarcane juice.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Wen Liang boasted with a smile: "Brothers, I carried such a basket of sugarcane today, one tael of silver a knot, taste it first and then pay the silver, so that you can taste the sweetness in your mouth, and you will be happy." Like honey."

Tao Zhe glanced at Wen Liang appreciatively. He didn't expect this person to be so eloquent. Seeing him enjoying himself while eating sugar cane, he stared at the free sugar cane in his hand, blinked his eyes, and said loudly: "Okay, give me two. ... come to five sessions."

Turning his head to the valet behind him, he said, "Tao An, pay five taels of silver."

When the others saw it, they immediately started looting.

"Give me two knots of sugar cane, and Amu will pay the money."

"Quick, bring me a section of sugar cane!"

"And mine, I want it too!"

Wen Liang collects the money with one hand and delivers the sugar cane with the other.

Soon a basket of sugar cane was sold out, and there were still many people who didn't buy it. Seeing the people who bought sugar cane sitting on their seats, they enjoyed and were very proud.

Those who hadn't eaten sugar cane gathered around Wen Liang unwillingly, asking if he still had sugar cane at home. Some people who liked to join in the fun saw this scene and immediately crowded over.

This scene in the lobby naturally caught the attention of Fengfenglou Qiu's mother, she immediately called the thugs, and walked towards the lobby aggressively.

Wenliang, who had sold out all the sugar cane, had noticed all of this a long time ago, and the moment the crowd surrounded him, he handed the basket indiscriminately to the rich middle-aged man closest to him, and slipped out by himself.

At this time, Wen Liang was sitting in the corner of the lobby, with his legs crossed, drinking tea leisurely, watching the farce in the center of the lobby with a smile in his eyes.

But in his heart he was thinking about A-gan, and he didn't know if he had successfully killed the landlord Danying, and whether the chaos he had created was enough for him to escape unscathed.

"Brother Tai has a good trick to get rid of the golden cicada's shell. I am Tao Zhe, whose name is Chengde. Can I make a friend?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Wen Liang raised his head in surprise. It was the young man he had used just now.

"What's the matter? Is Xiongtai looking down on others?" Tao Zhe calmly waved the paper fan in his hand, looking at Wen Liang with a half-smile.

"Hey, how could it be! Many friends have a wide road!" Wen Liang put away the surprised look on his face, and smiled politely: "I'm just a country bastard, surnamed Wen and named Liang, Mr. Tao, please sit down. "

Tao Zhe shook the paper fan, and sat down slowly: "Mr. Wen, don't be humble, I'm lucky to witness what you do!"

Wen Liang heard the threat in his words, recalled Wen Qian's calm attitude in his mind, smiled indifferently, raised his hand and poured a cup of hot tea, and pushed it in front of Tao Zhe.

Then he added another glass for himself, and said with a smile: "Young Master Tao is not bad, the helper who came as soon as he opened his mouth is just right, how about having a glass of tea instead of wine?"

Tao Zhe narrowed his eyes, took a serious look at Wen Liang, put down the paper fan in his hand, picked up the teacup on the table, and smiled: "Okay, after drinking this cup of tea, how about we call each other brothers?"

Hearing this, Wen Liang had a plan in his mind: "Okay, let's judge size by age."

Tao Zhe paused, and said with a normal expression, "Do it!"

'Boom' - two cups of hot tea lightly touch each other, making a pleasant sound.

After drinking, the two put down their teacups at the same time.

"I'm Tao Zhe, I'm twenty one this year."

"I'm warming up the grain, and I'm twenty-two this year."

When Wen Liang heard it, he was overjoyed, I am destined to be the boss again, that's great!
So he spoke first: "Brother Chengde, yes!"

Tao Zhe looked at Wen Liang, who was smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes. There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but the words had already been spoken, so he had to bite the bullet and shout: "Brother Wen, good!"

Wen Liang guessed that this person was a rich man, so he deliberately didn't judge his brother based on his family background. Unexpectedly, Tao Zhe just changed his expression slightly, and then called out readily, with a trace of vigilance in his heart, and deliberately made things difficult: "It's not good to be affectionate if you call me a brother. Calling me brother is pleasing to the ear!"

Tao Zhe's smiling face froze, his eyes were slightly cold, and he realized his gaffe, he immediately lowered his head and picked up the paper fan on the table to cover up, and when he looked up again, his face was full of smiles, "Haha, okay, whatever the elder brother says, the younger brother just obeys." .”

The personal servant Tao An had just finished watching the farce in the lobby, and when he came back, he heard his young master call a stranger his elder brother, especially when he was dressed in ordinary clothes, and the clothes on his body were not even comparable to his own slave outfit, so he immediately called out: " Eldest young master, how can you casually recognize someone who doesn't know his identity as your elder brother?"

Tao Zhe saw Tao An, who was inquiring about the follow-up news, come back, and heard his affirmation, he glanced at him quite satisfied, and deliberately reprimanded: "Tao An, don't be rude, since I recognize Wen Liang as the eldest brother, I will Don't go back on your word. Take a closer look, you've seen this person before!"

"I've seen it too?" Tao An was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wen Liang carefully, and suddenly realized: "It's him, the sugarcane seller!"

Tao Zhe pretended to be displeased and warned: "Keep your voice down, don't cause trouble for your elder brother."

Tao An covered his mouth and nodded quickly.
