Chapter 80
The caterpillar came out of the restaurant, holding a willow branch in his hand, waving it randomly, muttering, and didn't know what to say. On the way, Du Er saw it and waved to the caterpillar: "Long time no see, brother, come and talk!"
The caterpillar had always had a good impression of Du Er. He saw that it was him, so he hurriedly walked up to him.
Du Er pointed to the table and stool under the willow tree on the side of the road and said to the caterpillar: "I haven't seen each other for many days, so we go over and sit and talk."
When I sat down under the big willow tree, Du Er ordered the servant to come and ask if there were no caterpillars: "I just saw that my brother's face was a little bad, why did there be anything unhappy? Now with the support of the official Tong, who dares to show you a look?"
The caterpillar snorted coldly: "Master Tong? It's this Master Tong who changed his face as soon as he became famous. He doesn't regard me as a brother! He hates the sick brother Yuchi, and he doesn't help me!"
As soon as he heard this, Du Er became interested: "What the hell is going on? Tell me about it to my brother!"
The caterpillar picked up the teacup, put it on the table, pushed it aside, and said, "The birds have faded out of their mouths these days, and there is no import of wine and meat. In such weather, what's the point of drinking tea!"
"But I forgot that my brothers always drink wine as tea!" Du Er smiled and told the servant to serve wine and food.
The caterpillar stared at the plate brought by Xiaoer. Seeing that there were only a few side dishes and a bottle of wine on it, he muttered: "Why are they all vegetarian dishes? I'm not a monk who recites scriptures! I'm hungry, so I'll have a fat chicken to eat."
Du Eryi was always stingy, and he was a little annoyed when he heard this. However, he was using caterpillars and needed to inquire about Tong Dalang from him. He knew that he was a mess and was not easy to care about, so he had to instruct the servant to get a plate of meat.
Not long after, the servant brought out another plate from the restaurant. There was half a fat chicken inside, but it was a little cold.
Du Er knew everything about the building. He could tell at a glance that the chicken was left over from the customer. He secretly praised the servant for his ability to do things. He said to the caterpillar: "Brother, it's not convenient to make it in the kitchen at this time. Besides, you can't wait, so use this chicken to go to the bar first. It's a little cold, but this chicken is fat!"
Du Er was not so particular about it. He tore a chicken leg from the chicken, took a big bite, and nodded to Du Er repeatedly. He held the chicken in his mouth and was confused: "It's still Mr. Du who has loyalty, and his brothers' wine and meat are always indispensable!"
Du Er had a kind smile on his face, and he didn't urge him to see that there were no caterpillars drinking and eating meat.
After drinking two bowls of wine and eating a big chicken leg, his face without caterpillars improved a lot. Du Er then asked, "Brother, I looked so unhappy when I saw you come out just now. Why, are you angry? "
Du Er slapped the table, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, I'm not so angry with my two brothers. I've only been rich for a few days now? I looked down on me because I had no caterpillars! Thinking back to the time, we were in Jiagu Mountain quarry business and in Guangwu Mountain, we had to eat a grain of rice, and we had to share the blessings and share the difficulties! Now, hey--"
"For example, they will neglect you when they become prosperous? Wouldn't they be able to share difficulties and not become richer-"
"Isn't that true!" No caterpillar slapped the table, "Mr. Du is knowledgeable, but he can only be in trouble, not in wealth! Now they are all high-ranking officials, only I have no caterpillars, and I am still a idle man!"
Du Er sneered in his heart. He did not do anything, did not do anything, and did not want to do it. He did not lack wine and meat every day, and did not lack money on his body. Tong Dalang and Bing Yuchi were already good enough to him. Sheng Mien and Dou Mi Qiu, this caterpillar was a typical villain and could not do serious things with him.
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't show it at all. I smiled all over my face and said to the caterpillar: "Why did you say that by my brother? I saw you staying with Tong Daguanren, and you were having a good time and having a good life!"
"Uncle, you just saw the surface and didn't know what happened between us. Now Tong Da is a famous official in Luoyang City. People flatter him everywhere and have endless money. I am his brother when he was in trouble. What kind of friendship is this? He is even more close to his brother of a mother! Isn't it supposed to eat some wine and meat? How can this be considered good to me!"
Du Er was not easy to answer this, so he simply stopped talking and just smiled and looked at the caterpillar without a caterpillar.
He shook his head and sighed for a while, took another big sip of wine, ate a large piece of meat, and said, "Eat and drink. In the past, did we lose our brothers' wine and meat? Good brothers who are loyal, this is all right. What I hate is that both of them have endless money, and mountains of gold and silver are piled in the house, but I don't have any copper coins to use!"
Du Er felt embarrassed to say this. When the three of them first came, it was good to have no shortage of wine and meat, but that kind of good life didn't last long. Not to mention wine and meat, Du Er had no hot rice, only leftovers and cold roasts. Unexpectedly, in his heart without caterpillars, he forgot the hard days that followed and only remembered his own goodness. Du Er was suddenly moved.
In fact, Tong Dalang and Bing Yuchi don’t have much money. The company’s money is kept by the wealthy family. Supervisor Tong is very concerned about it, so how can they allow them to use it casually? However, although the company is mainly doing false business, it is still mixed with a few real deals, and the money earned is something that Tong Dalang can use. That is, the money that has to be used is hidden from Manager Tong, and he dares to use it secretly. In other words, Manager Tong wants him to install a storefront, but he is not strict.
The caterpillar was not clear, and he thought that Tong Dalang had really become a Tong Daguan, and he didn't know how much money he had. No matter how much Tong Dalang gave him, he felt that he was missing and was indignant.
Du Er sighed in his heart, how smart a sick Yuchi is, how could there be such a brother? Du Er knows the situation with Tong Dalang, but even if it is a fox and a tiger, it is awesome for people like Du Er, and they have to curry favor with him. At the worst, Tong Dalang now knows many top figures in Luoyang City.
After hearing that the caterpillar complained for a while, Du Er asked, "Money is a hero's courage. Brothers have no money to use, so they will inevitably lose confidence in doing things. No wonder you are angry. By the way, judging from your appearance today, may you not pay money from Tong Da?"
"Not! Mr. Du, do you think that such a big official, I want more than twenty stakes? We, brothers who have lived and died, didn't give me anything, and even the sick brother Yuchi said that I spent too much money. What's the reason?! They spend money every day, but I only need twenty stakes! Is twenty stakes more? Not only did I not give it to me, I also drove me out! Today I rushed here, and I didn't eat any food, and my brothers couldn't even eat any wine or meat here!"
"Not much, not much. As my brother now, what kind of decent form is it that there is no hundred stakes of money on him?" Du Er cursed in his heart and flattered him. "But then, why did the brother suddenly want so much money?"
"To be honest, I fell in love with the little lady Yingjuan who was singing in the restaurant and wanted to buy her a house. I didn't dare to say I bought it yet. Twenty knots are just renting it! I didn't give it to me! I won't give it to me!" The caterpillar said while slapped the table.
