Chapter 971 Old Shuai He bid farewell to the ranks, and Lu Dongjiang visited King Liang.
The old man smiled and said, “This restaurant used to be worth about 80 taels of silver. Now it is different from the past. It should be estimated at 300 taels of silver. You know, of course I understand better. As for how much savings you have, I know better, so I thought of a compromise method. Do you think it is okay? The restaurant is converted into 300 taels of silver. You don’t have to rush to pay this money. Don’t forget to pay dividends every year in the future. But the ugly saying goes, I paid back 300 taels of silver to buy the principal of the restaurant. If the restaurant still makes money in the future, I still want you to be filial to you every year. As for the specific amount, I don’t force it. You can do it. In short, you should take care of your own family first.”
The young man wanted to speak but stopped.
The old man waved his hand to signal the young man to sit down: “Don’t feel that he owes me, I’m smart. I know that you will definitely be able to make the restaurant business bigger and bigger in the future. With your kindness, you can pay less dividends every year and enjoy the happiness of lying in the county mansion, and you can get a lot of money every year.”
The young man sat back on the bench and straightened his back: “Old shopkeeper, I won’t thank you for your kindness!”
The old man made a finger-twist gesture and joked: “Don’t say it, rely on money to speak in the future.”
The young man suddenly smiled: “Old shopkeeper, you are not afraid that I will be able to pay the debt in the future. After paying off the 300 taels of silver, you will not be willing to pay the dividend.”
The old man raised his eyebrows, pointed to the young man’s heart, then pointed to his own eyes, and said, “The reason for this business is that he can trust your boy’s conscience, and the other is that he can trust my own eyes!”
The young man and the old shopkeeper each filled a glass of wine, and after raising the glass, “It’s all in the wine!”
The two drank it all in one go.
After drinking, the old man said, “You kid, hurry up and look at his wife. By the way, go to the back of the cabinet to get a pot of green ant wine that you just entered, just treat it as I celebrate that you have your own family business.”
The young man stood up and laughed and said, “Okay!”
The old man did not forget to remind him, “Congratulations and congratulations, the wine money must be remembered in your account! This green ant wine is not cheap. It is said that a pot of only two cents of silver from Beiliang Road, but one tael of silver is going up when you arrive in Lianghuai, and then from Jiangnan Road to our place, tsk, it’s a lot of four taels of silver. This is not a place to sell wine, but it’s almost the same to sell silver directly. You kid drink it casually, don’t drink it out of the taste and you’ll see the bottom.”
The young man said, “I can’t bear to drink it myself!”
The old man asked curiously, “What, do you want to give it to your brother or to your father-in-law?”
The young man who went straight to the counter suddenly paused, turned his head and grinned, “Not either, keep it for my brother. From now on, he comes to my house to eat and drink, and treat him with this wine. Back then… a long time ago, when I was hanging out with him.When he always said that the wine in the world was the most delicious. At that time, he always liked to greed me with this, and later he separated. Once when I passed by his hometown alone, I walked in a hurry and didn’t drink it, nor did I figure out what it felt like. “
The old man said angrily: “What does it taste like is that the price is expensive, nothing else. I don’t like to drink it. It’s too strong and too turbulent, burning through my throat, and having more energy. In my opinion, it’s really not as good as the homemade rice wine we have here. “
The young man smiled and said, “My brother is half a man from the martial arts world. He naturally wants to drink the strongest wine. Drinking the soft rice wine is not a hero! “
The old man was happy: “Oh, I’m still a man from the world, and I’m following you, you went a long way back then.”
The young man scratched his head: “It’s just that he’s gone far. “
The old man rolled his eyes and said, “I have suffered even though I have suffered! “
The young man laughed it off.
The old man sitting alone in the wine table raised his glass and drank slowly. He looked at the waiter who was carefully holding the wine pot from afar, and asked for no reason: “Wen Hua, the storyteller in our restaurant, several times when the king of the northwest admitted that he had a brother who knew the world. If you happened to be the same name and surname as your boy, then should your brother be Xu Cai?”
The young man stood in the distance with a bright smile: “It’s a coincidence, it’s true! “
The old man laughed and waved, “Stupid brat! Rolling roll! “
The old man who had no wine in the glass shook the wine pot, and it was empty. He turned his head and looked at the young man walking towards the restaurant gate. He limped, but it didn’t give people a miserable or funny feeling. The old man suddenly asked loudly, “Wen Hua, you kid is really not the famous swordsman in the capital.”
The young man holding the pot of green ant wine in both hands slowly turned around and made a face: “Shopkeeper, do you think I look like me?”
The old man smiled and did not answer, and waved his hand again.
