Chapter 117 Unexpected joy
For several hours, Old Tang's mouth did not close, and he walked around outside the restaurant, and greeted people when he saw them. From the three generations of ancestors asking about their children and grandchildren's marriage, it was more detailed than the official's sue.
In front of the Tang family's restaurant, there were crowds of people driving to Beijing who were transporting cotton. Most of them had no seats at all. They were holding a big bowl in their hands and squatting on the ground. With their other hand, they picked up the small wine bowl and took a sip.
In the past few months, Mr. Tang has been recruiting people who come to Beijing to transport goods, and finally got a reward. Although the majority of people who came here have never come to Luoyang, the power of role models is endless. They still chose this place by those regular customers of Mr. Tang. One is that the wine and meat here are suitable, and the restaurant opposite only looks at the radiant prostitutes sitting downstairs in front of the door, and you will know that they are not doing poor business.
Half of the businessmen in Longmen Town also gathered here, staring at Old Man Tang while staring at him without even letting him disappear in his eyes.
With so many customers coming at once, how can the Tang Family Restaurant prepare so many wine and food? Today, the food and drinks of these car drivers were all from Tang Laoer to credit town, and the accounts will be cleared only after the guests leave. The amount is so large that the people who gave Tang Laoer credit meat and vegetables were not at ease. The owner came to see them in person, for fear of an accident.
Old Tang was walking around the crowd, and kept smiling at the guests who were eating: "Eat and drink well, come often in the future!"
The man who had used wine and meat at Old Tang's place first smiled and said, "Master, I'm a good deal today!"
"Okay, okay! You guys are good at buying and selling! I heard that from now on, I will continue for one or two months without stopping?"
The man handed the empty bowl to the servant who came over, wiped his mouth and said, "Yes, father-in-law, you don't know. Now there is a pile of cotton in Ruhe Wharf in Ruzhou, just how much has it been transported this time! I heard that the camp and field affairs are still recruiting people and they have to transport it here day and night! I heard from the officials that it must be transported to winter at least!"
"Oh, why are there so many?" Old Tang opened his mouth wide and felt incredible. "How much cloth should you wove so much cotton? How many clothes do you make? Where can you sell it!"
The man laughed when he heard this: "I have countless soldiers in the Three Hundred Prefectures of the Song Dynasty, so why are there any worries that I can't sell them?"
Du Er stood in front of the window of his restaurant, looking at the lively and gloomy front of the restaurant opposite. What is going on in this world? How can he recruit so many people in a business of a poor man? No matter how lively his restaurant is, he has never seen such a scene. Those who drive the car eat less and gather sand into a tower, which adds up to be quite impressive! Today, the dishes and meat in Longmen Town were almost all bought by Mr. Tang. When he saw Du Er nodding and bowing, he raised his head today. I don’t know how arrogant it is, which made Du Er feel angry. Those villains of power wait until Mr. Tang has no customers before letting them know that they are amazing! In the past, these people were begging for the dishes of Du Er Restaurant and their house.
I don’t know where I hid without caterpillars. Du Er searched for several days but couldn’t find anyone. I thought it was just annoyed.
Du Er was thinking about the cart of copper coins in the hands of the caterpillar, but it was a lot of money. As for whether the caterpillar would give him out if he was caught, Du Er didn't care very much. After all, there was no third person present when discussing with the caterpillar. It was difficult to convict himself by relying on his confession alone.
After the Henan Prefecture tried this kind of major case, the Censorate Department would definitely be investigated. It is possible that the Censorate in the capital sent people to come down. In order to avoid causing trouble for themselves, those who tried the case would tend to be cautious. Moreover, Du Er was a person who had been in the yamen for many years. The inside was much clearer than the caterpillars and had a familiar head. Then he would make it a caterpillars and climb around.
The most important thing now is that I am really unwilling to accept that I have not gotten a share of the pie in it when I see such a big business as cotton.
At this moment, the manager of the restaurant walked in quietly and whispered to Du Er: "Minister's Outside, Cui Yun, who was singing outside, said that he had something to ask for a Mr. Outside, should he call her in?"
Du Er said angrily: "She is a singer, what's the important thing? Why are she looking for me?"
"I heard that Yingjuan borrowed a golden hairpin from her a few days ago, and said she had to pay it back after wearing it for two days. But she never saw Yingjuan again. Today, she seemed to have seen it and wanted the official to go and ask Yingjuan to help her get the golden hairpin back."
Hearing this, Du Er turned around suddenly and stared at the supervisor: "She said she saw Yingjuan?"
The supervisor was so nervous that Du Er saw it that he whispered: "I went back to the office, she said she saw it, but she just didn't catch up."
"Call her up!" Du Er watched the supervisor walk out of the room, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water dripping. He stared at the door for a long time, and suddenly smiled. He was really sleepy and someone gave him a pillow. Thinking that there were no caterpillars, he got the news from him.
After a while, a teenage girl came in and saluted Du Er: "I've met the official's wife."
Du Er looked at Cuiyun and tried hard to squeeze out a smile: "What's wrong with Yingjuan?"
"In addition to the official, I have known Yingjuan for several years and have always been good sisters. A few days ago, she said she wanted to meet some important guests. She didn't have jewelry, so she borrowed a gold hairpin. She originally thought it would be paid back in one or two days, but since that day, I never saw her again. I thought something happened to her and I was worried. As a result, today the convoy transporting cotton came into the city, and everyone in the town went to watch the fun, so I followed her. She saw her in the crowd. There were so many people who couldn't squeeze over, and she couldn't hear her calling her, and she lost the people after searching for her. The gold hairpin is my favorite jewelry. The annoyed officer, I helped me tell Yingjuan and asked her to return it."
Listening to Cuiyun's words, Du Er's face became better and better. After Cuiyun finished speaking, his face was filled with a smile. Yingjuan has always been with no caterpillars. With the news about this little girl, she is still worried that she can't find no caterpillars?
After comforting Cuiyun with kind words, Du Er asked her in detail where she saw Yingjuan, and if there were other people around her, where they threw the people away. Du Er asked very carefully, for fear of missing out.
Cuiyun only thought that Mr. Du was kind-hearted today and wanted to help him find a hairpin, so he said everything he saw.
Du Er listened and plotted in his heart. Longmen Town is such a big place. As long as you have a general direction, you will not worry about not being able to find the whereabouts of caterpillars. Can two big living people disappear in vain?
