Chapter 4 Food First
Looking at the crowd surrounding the three layers inside and three layers outside, Li Fan, who was idle, also walked over.
Standing in the center was a black-faced man and a woman in her thirties. The woman hugged the man's legs in a messy manner and cried, while the black-faced man was full of anxiety.
"I didn't hit you. You hit me with a vase. How could you blame me?" The big man just said something, and it immediately attracted a lot of criticism around him.
The woman cried even more vigorously and kept hitting the big man with her head. The big man's face turned red and she sighed and said, "Well! How much does a vase cost? I'll pay you!"
Hearing the words of the man, the woman's voice came to an abrupt end. A person immediately walked out of the crowd, picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and looked at it and said, "It's a pity to break such a good thing!
If it is a complete vase, it will be worth fifty taels of silver!"
As soon as he said that, the man changed his face. Fifty taels of silver were enough to buy several acres of fertile land. Why is the inconspicuous vase so expensive?
As soon as the man spoke, the woman cried even louder. Some people around him said they wanted to report to the officials and went to Yingtian Mansion to complain, while others said they wanted to find someone from the Wucheng Military and Ma Si.
The man looked struggling and said for a long time: "I only have thirty-one taels of silver on me, and I have a good knife to compensate you with compensation?"
The big man said as he took out a steel knife from the package behind him. The knife looked like a Japanese knife, but the handle was much shorter.
What is surprising is that the entire knife is only cut at the tip of the knife, and there is no edge in the other place.
The man looked reluctant and sent the knife and a few ingots of silver to the woman.
The woman looked happy, and just as she reached out to grab the silver, shouts came from the crowd watching.
"Let's wait!"
Li Fan separated the crowd and walked in, ignoring the surprised eyes of the people watching the excitement around him, and did not look at the confused man, and walked straight to the broken vase and squatted down.
"Oh! What a pity, what a pity..." Li Fan said with regret, stopping the steps of several people who were leaning over.
Without waiting for someone to ask, Li Fan continued: "How can such an exquisite thing be worth fifty taels? According to the following, even if it is five hundred taels, five thousand taels are worth it!"
Hearing Li Fan's words, the woman and the people who were approaching each other showed joy on their faces. The big man widened his eyes and wished he could eat Li Fan alive.
"It's a pity that such a baby is broken. If you want to know the value, you can only ask the shopkeeper of Wen Baozhai!"
Li Fan's words made the man stunned, but the woman suddenly changed her face.
"Yes! Not far ahead is Wen Baozhai. The shopkeeper there is known as Qiu Yiyan. You can tell the truth of anything with just a glance!"
"I also heard that Manager Qiu only spent ten cents last time to buy a treasure from the Song Dynasty. It is said that he sold more than 500 taels!"
...
The voice of the mouth made the woman sweat coldly, and she glared at Li Fan with resentment, and reached out to grab the silver from the man's hand.
"Break the baby of my slave family and get the money to compensate!"
But the big man's movements were faster than her, and the woman suddenly lost herself and lay down on the ground. Her eyes turned and hugged the big man's legs again, and she started to cry.
"You killer, bully me, a woman. All kind officials should judge the little woman!"
"Yes! Capture him to meet the official!"
"Don't let this country bumpkin run away!"
"We can't let the local buns bully our capital!"
The woman cried and howled, and immediately several people followed her with each other. However, this time, not so many people followed her, and the voices of the few of them seemed so abrupt.
"Play!"
The applause was so inappropriate that it attracted everyone's attention.
Li Fan took a few shots and said with a smile: "Auntie! You are still professional in acting. If you can hide the green jacket inside, it will be more perfect!"
"Swish!" Countless eyes looked at the woman lying on the ground crying. The woman's face suddenly became very ugly, and she covered her chest with her hands in panic.
"Go to the disciple!" The woman reacted and cursed at Li Fan. Even the big man looked at Li Fan with strange eyes.
Li Fan rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "You elbows! Your clothes are torn, and if you can't see them, you will be blind!"
At this time, the onlookers discovered that although the woman's clothes were worn and her face was covered with dirt, her neck and wrists showed fair skin.
Especially when he just reached out to grab the silver from the man's hand, he cut his clothes on his elbow, revealing the emerald green silk clothes inside.
"Boy! I dare to tease good women in the street, I will beat you to death!"
A short and strong man jumped out of the crowd and shouted and rushed towards Li Fan.
Before Li Fan could take action, the black-faced man moved. He raised his foot and kicked the short and strong man in the stomach and kicked him far away.
"I lied to your grandfather Qi. Grandpa must remove your bones today!"
The black-faced man was furious, causing several guys in the crowd to stop.
"The head of the family! How are you, the head of the family? You guys who kill thousands of swords, smashed the treasures of my family's ancestors, and killed the men of my family. The family is no longer alive!
Don’t stop me, let me die!" The woman pounced on the man who fell to the ground and said she was not alive, but she did not move further.
"Hey...? Isn't this Cuihong from Yingchun Tower? Haven't you been redeemed by Liu Yiba? Why are you marrying someone else again!"
A voice in the crowd made the surroundings boil completely. The woman's face changed drastically when she heard this. She no longer cared about the man lying on the ground, and hurriedly got into the crowd and never showed up again.
The black-faced man "spits!" and then clasped his fists and said, "I'm here with Qi Jin, thanking my brother for help, I'm so grateful!
In the future, whenever Qi Jin is used, Qi Jin will definitely do his best and never refuse!
Today I will let Qi be the boss, and I hope my brothers will definitely appreciate their faces!"
...
"Food first! This is the only one!" Qi Jin pulled Li Fan and walked far away, and saw a small restaurant next to the street.
The three big words "Food First" on the signboard were particularly conspicuous, and he pulled Li Fan into it.
When the two walked into the restaurant, Qi Jin couldn't help but frowned. Compared with other restaurants full of customers, this place was too deserted.
There are only two tables of guests on the first floor, and even the guy who greets the guests doesn't know where to go.
The two were about to leave, but a middle-aged shopkeeper ran out from behind the counter.
"Two guests! Two guests, the shop is not well greeted, it's really negligent!"
Seeing the shopkeeper running out, Li Fan widened his eyes and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou! Thank you for bringing Li Fan to the capital. Is this the restaurant you opened?"
"You are Li Fan, Brother Li! It's not worth mentioning!" Manager Zhou also recognized Li Fan, but the smile on his face was a little bitter.
"Brother Li is not visiting friends... Well! Please invite two distinguished guests upstairs. I hope he can forgive me if there are any negligence!"
Manager Zhou saw Li Fan’s embarrassment and immediately stopped and led the two to the second floor.
