Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 65 Cao and Yuan’s respective experiences

In this way, Cao Cao bought all the inventory of this grain store at a very low price, and made the shop owner and the shopkeepers dare not speak... In the end, Cao Cao still looked dissatisfied and said dissatisfied :

"Do you know if there are any other food stores in this county?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, but he pointed his finger in the distance and said calmly: "Yes, yes! Go straight ahead from this road, there is a store one mile away from here... No, no, no! Let's go straight ahead. There are four or five grain stores in the county! If you go to that store, you can ask people there."

"——Ha!" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard, "You are very aware of current affairs."

At that time, the shop owner and all the clerks were all bowing their heads, not to mention their lower eyebrows.

Cao Cao was about to take a step forward, but he turned around and said, "Does your grain store have tools for plowing the land?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, and wanted to say "no", but seeing the other party's gloomy face, he changed his words in fright:

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes—"

The shopkeeper winked at the shopkeepers.

The guys cheered and rushed to the food store.

In a short period of time, large and small farming tools, such as plows, harrows or hoes, and even farm tools such as rice mills and millstones, were brought out... a rough count, there are about a thousand pieces!
The shop owner was seen covering his chest with his hands, as if he was too stimulated.

Cao Cao finally stroked his beard and said: "Very good, very good."

Hearing this, the shop owner put down his hands decisively and made his bow even more curved.

Ignoring the shopkeeper, Cao Cao waved his hand and ordered the people to put away the supplies, and then led the crowd to a distant place...

The horses' hooves rumbled and kicked up clouds of dust. Everyone passing by gave way to the road. They were so angry that they dared not speak!
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cao Cao and his entourage walking away without looking back. The shopkeeper straightened up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, raised his foot, and kicked away a clerk who was close to him, grinning through gritted teeth. road:

"After finally sending away this eunuch... you did a good job and emptied all the grain stores!"

On the side, the boy quickly helped up the kicked companion and couldn't help but said: "Shopkeeper, do you know that adult?"

"What sir!" The shopkeeper was annoyed and angry, "He is just the son of a eunuch, and he only dares to act arrogantly by trying to please the governor of Bohai..."

The shop owner blushed with anger, but knew that this was inappropriate, so he stopped talking.

The young man was so fascinated by what he heard that he didn't even ask the shopkeeper how he knew the identity of the adult. He dared to answer: "But shopkeeper, even if the other person is the son of a eunuch, and he is close to the Bohai prefect, you seem to be the same, shopkeeper." Afraid……?"

"Bah! Who are you talking about who is afraid?!" the shopkeeper angrily kicked the boy in the face, "I call it caution, do you understand caution?! If you really want to go against the eunuch's son, a group of grain merchants in Nanpi County Being reduced to a hard laborer and working hard all day long is what you will end up with!! Do you want to be like that?!"

The shop owner was furious.

The young boy was kicked and curled his lips secretly, not daring to refute the shopkeeper and say something like, "Shopkeeper, if I am to be reduced to a hard worker again, you are the most likely candidate."

I lamented that the little guy was timid and didn't say anything.

"You haven't cleaned up the food shop yet!" The shopkeeper dropped these words with a face, and left without looking back, cursing, "——bad luck!"

...Compared with Cao Cao's forcible purchase and collection, and his later behavior of casually looking around Dongguang County to see if there was suitable land, Yuan Shao on the other end was like a spring breeze, and he fully displayed the polite manner of the aristocratic family.

It is said that Yuan Shao brought his people to Fuyang County and was saddened to see that this place is obviously a neighboring city to Nanpi City, but it is even worse than Nanpi City. Looking at it, it is sparsely populated and can be compared to a village. It is not easy to find a market. , the market is sparse, not many people are seen...

What should I do if I don’t have all the farming tools I need?

Reluctantly, Yuan Shao dismounted, found a vendor who seemed to be quite pleasing to his eye, and asked, "May I ask where I can buy tools for farming?..."

The vendor raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Shao strangely.

Yuan Shao showed a hint of confusion at the right time.

The vendor sighed silently, and asked back, "Which family is this young master? Don't you know that 'tools for farming' are never bought casually? "

Yuan Shao'er blushed and said in confusion: "This...how do you say this?"

The merchant said: "Go find the blacksmith! Maybe the blacksmith has something for sale."

Yuan Shao asked: "Where is the blacksmith?"

After pouting, the vendor looked behind Yuan Shao and replied: "You go this way, it's just around the corner."

Yuan Shao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

Afterwards, Yuan Shao led people to leave.

The vendor shook his head and muttered to his companions: "Look at that man, he looks serious, like a scholar, but he is ignorant..."

The companion joked: "If that gentleman bought your goods, you probably wouldn't say that?" After hearing this, the merchant rolled his eyes, turned away, and stopped paying attention to his companion.

As for Yuan Shao and others, they walked along the road, turned a corner, and saw the blacksmith.

Yuan Shao happily dismounted, approached the blacksmith, and said, "May I ask the strong man if he can sell the tools used for cultivating the land?"

Approaching the blacksmith at close range, Yuan Shao was immediately overheated by the unique scorching airflow in the iron shop and almost couldn't breathe.

blacksmith:"……"

The blacksmith was speechless and looked at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was puzzled.

Fortunately, the blacksmith didn't talk nonsense. While knocking, he shouted at the same time: "Yes! How much do you want?"

Yuan Shao said: "I will buy as much as you have!"

The blacksmith grinned and said with a smile: "Okay! You wait!—Which one do you want?"

Yuan Shao: "..."

At this time, Yuan Shao's smile froze.

Yuan Shao couldn't answer the question.

Still the same reason: Yuan Shao...like Yuan Shu, was not very familiar with farming.

At the moment of embarrassment, Yuan Shao suddenly heard a low laugh not far away.

Yuan Shao looked for the reputation and saw a scribe covering his sleeves and laughing.

"You?!" Yuan Shao looked at the scribe and asked with a frown, "Why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at the general who has never heard such a saying."

"Which proverb?"

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish." The scribe had a point. "Instead of buying tools for plowing, it would be better for the general to recruit a group of blacksmiths. Why worry about the lack of tools for plowing?"

Yuan Shao: "..."

You always feel like the other person is making fun of you?
Can you listen to this person's words, and it makes sense?

For no reason, Yuan Shao became interested and secretly noticed the other party. However, seeing that the other party was well-dressed and should be a member of the noble family, he couldn't help but feel moved and said seriously: "May I ask your name, sir?"

"My surname is Tian and my given name is Feng. I have met... General Yuan." Tian Feng raised his hand from afar.

"You...you recognize me?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, very curious.

Nanpi County, near the second kiln.

"Show all the best ceramics from your kiln!" Ignoring Su Shuang's twitching of the corners of his mouth, Zhang Shiping spoke so boldly, "I heard that the quality of the ceramics produced by your kiln is the best. Coincidentally, I am a businessman and want to buy some... Just bring the best, I am not short of money!!"

In order to prove that he was not short of money, Zhang Shiping also patted the cart behind him. The cart was filled with money, five baht in vain!

Next to the trolley, Su Shuang held his forehead and couldn't bear to look straight down. She secretly tugged on the corner of Zhang Shiping's clothes, but was mercilessly ignored by Zhang Shiping.

On the side, Liu Bian and his guards kept their faces tight and watched the show in silence.

At first glance, when he saw the cart full of five baht coins, the kiln foreman's eyes widened, he swallowed his saliva, and said intently: "Okay, okay! Please wait a moment! I'm going to take samples right now -"

After saying that, the kiln foreman turned around and ran towards the kiln.

During this period, because he was too excited, the kiln foreman staggered, and his back looked quite embarrassed.

Seeing the other party run away temporarily, Su Shuang couldn't laugh or cry. He glanced sideways at Zhang Shiping and said, "Brother Zhang, according to the rules, it's my turn to buy this time..."

Zhang Shiping said with a smile: "I know, I know! What are you thinking? Do you think I will rob you? - How have I ever robbed you? Am I that kind of person?"

Su Shuang bowed to Zhang Shiping and said jokingly: "So, I misunderstood?"

"Is that possible?" Zhang Shiping stepped in, "Don't worry, I won't have to pay until the third kiln... Of course, the premise is that there are good goods! Is that so, Your Highness?"

Zhang Shiping asked Liu Bian abruptly.
