Chapter 570 The Gift of the Ox (2 in 1)(1/2)

More than a month later, the scalpers of the unstoppable business finally rushed back to Chang'an.

Standing outside the east gate of Chang'an City, looking at the familiar city, the scalper burst into tears. This scene attracted passers-by to stop and watch.

Since he was sent to Goguryeo, he has not returned to Chang'an for almost five years. His family is also staying in Chang'an and being taken care of by the Chamber of Commerce. First, it is because Goguryeo is an enemy country, and if he is not careful, it is dangerous to behead him, and secondly, it is also a proton.

Of course, from the perspective of scalpers, how can there be a prosperous Tang Dynasty in other countries be better? Let the young man stay in Chang'an and follow Doctor Du, so he will not be treated in the future.

Many years later, I returned to my hometown and looked at the familiar bricks and tiles, and I had never left my hometown, and it was absolutely difficult for me to experience this feeling.

"Chang'an City, my scalper is finally back!" the scalper said.

The people around were shocked and thought to themselves that this person was not a lunatic? He cried and shouted.

"Everyone is far away from him. Maybe this person is an exiled prisoner. Now that he is fleeing, the general exiled people basically have madness." An enthusiastic melon-eating crowd persuaded others.

Others questioned: "Nonsense, have you seen a wanderer dress like this? You can tell from others that their background will not be bad."

"That's right, most of the exiled criminals have their marks, this man doesn't, and he doesn't look like a thin wanderer."

...

Just as people were talking, the guards from the east gate of Chang'an City came over.

"Go aside, what are you doing here? The official roads at the East Gate of Chang'an have been blocked by you."

"Official, there is a weird guy here who is crying and shouting. I don't know why, so we guess he has a problem." The enthusiastic melon-eating crowd pointed and shouted.

Someone interrupted dissatisfied and said, "It's nonsense that you, Hou Er, guessed by yourself, don't bring us with you.

Look at a man who was crying so sadly, he must have encountered some sad and sad things."

The city gate guard stopped everyone, "Okay, okay, stop talking.

The man was kneeling on the ground. Who are you? Why are you crying loudly at the gate of the city?"

The scalper tidied up his mood, slowly stood up, and apologized: "It's nothing. I've been away from home for several years. When I first came back, I couldn't hide my excitement. I'm sorry, I almost delayed the passage at the city gate."

The guard patted the scalper on the shoulder and said, "Brother, there are countless people entering and leaving the gate of Chang'an City every day, and everyone has their own stories. I have met countless people like you in the past two years, all of whom have to go out to make a living.

For you, the Tang Dynasty is the hometown and Chang'an is the home.

Brothers, welcome home!”

The scalper stretched out his right hand in a state of emotion. The man opposite was stunned and said in surprise: "You are... Are you a member of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm used to it.

Thank you for your understanding. My surname is Huang. I am here to rush into the city to report my work. After I have turned around, I will come to find you for a drink and make friends."

After saying that, he bowed to the man, and the scalper turned over and slowly entered the city.

It is usually prohibited to ride a horse in Chang'an City. Of course, except for some people with special identities, scalpers are not like this. He would not dare to ride a horse in the street if he gave him the courage.

"It's all scattered..." The city gate guards dispersed the onlookers.

At this time, the people overturned their original speculations, and agreed with the words of the city gate guards, discussing those who left the Tang Dynasty and went to other countries to do business.

Some people cleverly noticed the different identity of the scalper and asked the question in their hearts: "What is the identity of that person you think? It seems that the guard on duty just mentioned the Du Family Chamber of Commerce."

"Really, fake? People from the Du Family Chamber of Commerce? It's impossible. How could the Du Family Chamber of Commerce have such a person who is useless?" Someone questioned.

"See what you said, there are also different levels in the Du Family Chamber of Commerce. The Du Prince-ma, who is the shopkeeper, has a graceful manner. Could it be that the servants who swept the floor and work below must be the same as the graceful manner?

But why should the city gate guards determine that the man is from the Chamber of Commerce?”

A slightly older middle-aged man smiled and said as if he was telling his younger generation: "Boy, you have no knowledge. That man wanted to salute the guard in order to express his gratitude.

But instead of giving a general bow, he stretched out his right hand."

"Why do you want to do with your right hand?" Everyone was puzzled.

"The legendary owner of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, that is, Du Fu Ma, invented a new social etiquette. In order to show the importance and special treatment of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce partners, all merchants or individuals who have good business dealings with the Chamber of Commerce will use this etiquette especially.

One is unique and unique, and the other is symbolic of sincere cooperation. It seems that there are more other explanations, so these outsiders don’t know.

And today the man actually said, "I'm used to it, that is, he usually treats others like this, which means that he has a good status in the Du Family Chamber of Commerce and does not have ordinary people like us."

Listening to this person's detailed explanation, everyone was very impressed. Although this method is a bit unconventional, it has to be said that it is indeed unique and unconventional. Just listening to it makes people feel that if the Chamber of Commerce can be treated with such etiquette, wouldn't the Du Chamber of Commerce recognize its respected status? Think about it, who is not jealous?

For a moment, everyone's topic turned to speculation about the identity of scalpers. At first, the people who said scalpers were traversing, and they dared to open their mouths and talk, and they hurried into the crowd.

After returning to the Chamber of Commerce to report, the scalper did not find Du Shaoqing's place, so he had to find the clinic.

He was told that Du Shaoqing had entered the palace and the emperor summoned him for official business.

Just as the scalper was about to turn home, he was stopped by Sanhu from the clinic.

"Brother Scalpers, I haven't gained much weight in a few years. I look more smart than I used to." Sanhu stepped forward and hugged his back and said with his back close.

"Haha, the third brother has been awarded, I dare not be accused of it. You also know that I have been living in the royal city of Goguryeo in the past few years, where it is either rich or noble. If I don't dress up like a little bit, I will not survive at all."

This is half true, but the sadness in the scalper's tone is more than modesty.

Sanhu has also followed Du Shaoqing for a long time. He has seen many people in recent years. Seeing this, he felt a little soft-hearted and patted the scalper on the shoulder and said, "San brother, you have suffered, don't worry, now the battle between the Tang Dynasty will be determined to the Northeast, brother, you will make an indelible contribution.

The shopkeeper calls you back and rewards you with benefits.

In this way, the shopkeeper is not here today, and maybe when will he come back? You and my brother have not seen each other for a long time. We will serve as a partner for you. Let’s have a good meal to welcome you.”

"This, this... Third brother, it's not my little brother who has taken it. He has just come back and hasn't entered the house yet. He misses his wife and children at home, so I want to..."

"Hey, what's so difficult about this? I'll ask your third sister-in-law to come over and take your younger sister and children over, and have a meal together, which makes it even more lively.

Let’s take a walk, I know you’ve come back recently, so I’ve already booked the restaurant. Your fourth and fifth brothers will hand over the shift later and come together.”

Without saying anything, Sanhu dragged the scalper to a restaurant near the clinic in Dongcheng City.

"Oh, Brother Sanhu is here? I guess this is the distinguished guest who asked you to give him a positioning for several days in a row? Please come in and follow your instructions. The private room with the size of the ground has been kept for you for the past two days."

As soon as I reached the door, the waiter in the restaurant came to greet him enthusiastically.

Sanhu Hao said angrily: "That's right, let me introduce you to you. This is my good brother, Scalper. He just came back from a job outside and hasn't seen each other for many years. Today, we must talk about our brotherly relationship.

Call your shopkeeper, I have some other advice.”

At first glance, they were regular guests, and both sides were neighbors not far away, so they were very familiar with each other. The ability to open this restaurant in the East City means that they are all serving high-ranking officials and nobles. Being able to respect Sanhu and one servant like this shows that they attach importance to it.

However, after all, Sanhu had no official position or title, and because of the reputation of the master, he was still not qualified to occupy the most luxurious Tianzi box in the restaurant, so he arranged a second-class land number.

Almost all the time, three tigers and two men sat down in the private room, four tigers and five tigers followed them to the restaurant.

The two of them exchanged greetings with the scalpers again. Sanhu asked them to accompany the scalpers to have tea. They chatted with the restaurant shopkeeper for a few words and went out.

I went straight to the kitchen of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed: "Brother Sanhu, you come to my store to spend money on your meals. How can you let you cook in person? It's not right? It's not right!"

"What's wrong with your love and my wish?

Besides, what do other people's rumors do with us?" Sanhu retorted.

This, this...

The shopkeeper secretly complained, why don’t hesitate to our business? If the restaurant has a bad reputation, it will inevitably affect the business. At that time, you will just be a meal and leave after eating. Can’t my store be opened?

"You don't like my Sanhu's craftsmanship?"

"No, how could it be? You learned from Dr. Du. Although I have never seen your skills, I have heard of them. How could it be?"

Sanhu held down the shopkeeper's sincerity and said, "Tell me the truth. Today, our brothers specially invited the brother Huang to a banquet. To show his sincerity, I personally cooked.

It should have been a family dinner, but you also know that we are all servants at home and have no other business, so it is inappropriate to have a banquet alone at home.

Shopkeeper, we are always in love. Can you just think that I, Sanhu, use your territory to make a meal and treat you?

If you don’t say anything like this, who will gossip?

Besides, you know my skills. If I show my skills to you and pass them to these people under you, you can go secretly and enjoy it. I am afraid that your store will be broken if you go out.

How about it? Do you do it or not? If you don’t, I’ll try it out in another place.”

The shopkeeper hurriedly held it, "Hey, hey, don't do this, if you do it, can't I do it? Today you are the old man, and I will listen to you, so I will give up my old face and go with the outsider's advice.

But one thing is that your meal gives me such a great benefit to our small shop, we can’t ask for the money for the meal…”

Sanhu interrupted dissatisfiedly: "Go! Do you think I am a person with a shortage of money? What kind of virtue does not pay for food?

Besides, the meal is yours, is it your treat or me?

Stop talking, find two people to help me with the kitchen soon, and then drag it on and it’s all over the afternoon.

If my elder brother hadn't needed to cook for the house, I'd like to show you the skills of the deputy manager of the Royal Seating Room to ensure that you can see your eyes."

Soon after, the food was ready, Sanhu personally brought a large tray back to the private room.

"Come on, the food is here, Brother Huang, try your skills for you. This is what I specially cook for you in order to welcome you." Sanhu introduced this.

The scalper was panicked. After five years of business, he became more and more smart. At this time, he realized something was wrong. Are the brothers such as Sanhu so enthusiastic? Are they worthy of this specification?

Obviously, I was not worthy of it. Since a few years ago, even now, I am still a younger brother in front of them. Not to mention that I am Erhu’s direct attack, I just have the other people, but they are all confidants brought out from my hometown by the boss, and I can’t compare to my later ones.

But why? What made them entertain me so grandly?

Sanhu was wondering, because I made contributions in the Northeast? That's impossible. It's official business, and it should be done publicly. How can I be so grateful and admire in private?

If it is not for the sake of official business, it can only be a private matter. Could it be that they have something to ask me for it?
