Back Off, Let Me Come

The sun is very bright in the afternoon, and the autumn tiger is annoying.

The golden crow hangs high in the sky, making people sleepy and lazy in the sun and don't want to move.

Shen Tang was also like a handful of vegetable leaves that had been wilted in the sun, leaning back listlessly and squinting his eyes, sleepiness gradually taking over.

But soon, business started coming.

Boom, boom, boom!

The visitor tapped the wooden stool with his finger and shouted impatiently: "Wine seller, wake up, how do you sell the wine here?"

Shen Tang's sleepiness disappeared, and he raised the brim of his hat with his hooked fingers, revealing a beautiful and handsome face. The person who came looked at her face, swept away the impatience hovering in his eyebrows, and then looked directly at her face, even his voice couldn't help but be a little greasy.

"Little lady, how do you sell this wine?"

Shen Tang looked lazily: "Wine is four hundred and fifty cents per jar, two catties, and other wines are three hundred cents per jar, two catties. The price is the same."

For the sake of this cheap-looking face, the visitor was not displeased because Shen Tang was too lazy to get up and say hello. But when he heard the price of the wine she quoted, he raised his eyes in anger and said, "Hey, you are a wine seller walking down the street. Who knows how much water is mixed with the wine you sell? It costs four hundred and fifty to open your mouth." Shiwen, wine? I’m afraid you’ve never even seen grapes!”

Shen Tang was not polite: "If you want to buy, then buy. If not, then leave."

The visitor seemed not to have expected Shen Tang to react like this.

Based on his past experience, vendors would automatically succumb to him when they saw him. They would either flatter him with nice words or give him half-sold and half-given discounts. They would never chase him away if he came up. Immediately he felt a little embarrassed and said angrily: "Do you know who I am?"

Shen Tang took a serious look.

He shook his head honestly: "I don't know."

When the man heard that Shen Tang was new here, he felt better.

He said: "I am a servant of the county government."

The housekeeper in charge of purchasing is his uncle.

Shen Tang nodded to show that he understood.

This man is still waiting for Shen Tang's "filial piety".

Not to mention giving it away for free, you should buy one and get one free. Only by building a good relationship can you do business stably in this place. As a result, this stupid young man showed no sign at all, and even asked him with his eyes why he was still standing there? If you can't afford it, don't block other people's stalls and delay business.

He couldn't lose face, but he didn't dare to make a fuss.

After all, the county government is not far away, and their county guard doesn't have a very good temper, and he doesn't like the people below him to cause trouble for him. Usually, the county government bullies ordinary traders and takes advantage of them, but he doesn't care, but if things get too big, he will be responsible for selling them.

Shen Tang urged with a smile: "Do you still want to buy it, sir?"

Seeing that he could not take advantage, this man was reluctant to pay.

Opening one of the jars, the rich aroma of wine hit your nostrils.

This man works in the county government, and occasionally holds banquets at the house, and the leftovers are sent to the kitchen. He can also drink a few sips of fine wine and taste a few mouthfuls of delicacies. He still has a certain ability to taste. If every jar is of this quality, he will make the profit, and the repayment can be said to be ten taels.

"How much wine do you have left?"

Shen Tang said: "As much as you want."

"What a big breath, how much inventory can you have in a small wine shop?" He put the cork back on the wine with contempt, but his actions were honest, and he swept away everything on Shen Tang's bench in one breath, making sure that every jar was filled with the aroma of wine. Only with the strong and good wine can I pay the money with confidence. When calculating the money, I want to take advantage of even the slightest advantage. "You just wait here for the news. If the owner is satisfied, I will take the rest."

Shen Tang asked: "Your family is the sheriff?"

The man hummed proudly: "Who else could it be? Little girl, if your wine is liked, you will become rich in the future."

Shen Tang narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

I don't know if she is developed or not, but——

Just as she was about to complain, a particularly different gaze fell on her. Shen Tang subconsciously looked in that direction and happened to see a window that happened to be closed. Shen Tang frowned, dismissed the unnecessary thoughts, filled the empty wine jar with wine and continued to set up the stall.

at the same time--

Gu Chi stood by the window, watching his roommate remove the pole holding the window, and said meaningfully, "We were discovered."

"You have regressed, Gu Wangchao. Is this your way of being a scribe?" The man who took off the pole had an ordinary face that would not be found if thrown into the crowd. Even his voice was popular. If If there is something special, it is the temperament.

"Qi Yuanliang, why don't you turn into your true self? This is an elegant room, not in broad daylight. Why do you continue to cover up and make yourself look shameful?" Gu Chi's face turned slightly blue after hearing "The Way of the Scholars". Immediately he relaxed again.

He also has the opportunity to pray for good in his hands, so he is not afraid.

Yes, pray for good.

The man moved Wen Xin and raised his hand to brush his face, revealing Shen Tang's familiar face, and his voice also changed.

"Get used to it, be careful sailing forever."

Having received an unfriendly letter from Gu Chi earlier, he pretended to come out to meet "friends". He said he was a "friend", but in fact he had no friendship with Gu Chi and didn't know the other person's intention. He was also afraid that the tax money robbery would cause complications, so he hesitated several times and chose to "go to the meeting alone".

I just didn’t expect——

Mr. Shen Xiaolang will sell wine not far downstairs.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

How obsessed is Mr. Shen Xiaolang with stalls?

If he hadn't known it was a coincidence, he would have suspected that this guy was following him here. He happened to be talking a lot, and he stood out among the people with his talkativeness and was discovered by Gu Chi.

It was really unexpected.

What's more, I didn't expect that Shen Xiaolangjun would make rapid progress and discover Gu Chi's voyeurism. If Qishan hadn't picked up the pole quickly, he would have been exposed.

"If you are so cautious, why did you come to Xiaocheng?"

Qi Shan replied: "This is an appropriate question to ask you."

The two looked at each other in silence - they had to admit that they were both people with evil intentions, and no one was more innocent than the other.

Each of them only knows each other by name.

But their "name" -

It's about half a catty to eight taels.

In the current situation, no one wants to face each other. If a win-win situation can be achieved, it is best to avoid each other and achieve each other's goals. If not, then don't fight in such a way that both parties lose and let others take advantage.

Gu Chi was the first to break the silence.

"To be fair, let's ask each person one question at a time?"

Qishan said: "Yes."

The words are divided into two parts.

Their side is filled with smoke, and the county government is not at peace either.

The sheriff is an unexpectedly young middle-aged man, he looks in his early thirties, has no roots and is a foreigner, who can climb to such a high position at this age, who would not say a word!

Take good care of other people's children.

At this moment, this child from another family was respectfully entertaining the distinguished guest - he was said to be an honored guest, but he was not even dressed as a servant of the county. Wearing patched coarse linen clothes, the brows contain the fatigue after a long-distance raid, gray hair on the temples, weathered face, and a six-year-old boy with him.

The boy was born with a beautiful face and an innocent expression.

He obediently sat next to the distinguished guests, sipping small mouthfuls, and focused on chewing the soft and delicate sandwich pastry, as if it was a delicacy of mountains and seas, and he didn't care about the hypocrisy of the adults at all.

The county guard's eyes twitched slightly.

It's innocent, but it's also really cruel.

Thinking that the county magistrate Si Yan wanted to push the distinguished guest down the stone steps, but was shot by a boy who broke his leg and pointed his eyebrows to warn him. He also had this innocent expression, and the county guard felt a little cold.

Si Yan: Gatekeeper.
