"...What's wrong? Where is the blind bear not in the mountains?" He An was suspicious.

"I don't mean that," He Ze shook his head, and a curl was pulled up at the corner of his lips. "What you said just now reminded me of something."

"What's up?"

He Ze smiled but said nothing, but a word suddenly popped out of his mouth, "Have you eaten bear meat?"

"Ah?" He An looked confused.

"I'll give you a taste tomorrow, and it's considered avenging you." He Ze patted He An's shoulder and stood up. "Go back to your room early to rest, be careful not to grow tall."

Before he finished speaking, he had already arrived at the door of his bedroom. It was not until the sound of closing the door that He An came to his senses and tilted his head and murmured, "What does the revenge of a claw... mean?"

He turned around his mind, but didn't think of anything. He simply stopped thinking. He stood up and patted his butt. He An suddenly turned around and made a face at He Ze's door, "You can't grow tall!"

When he entered the room, the oil lamp in the room went out. The moonlight was gone in the yard, as cold as water. The night wind accompanied by the concerto of cicadas, and it spread far away faintly.

...

The next day, when the dawn began to rise, He Ze told Li, and then took Zhao Fugui's ox cart to the town. The sun was shining at that time.

The first person He Ze went to was Yu's restaurant. Although it was still early, the restaurant was still crowded.

Now Wei Quan's "Legend of White Snake" on the high platform has come to an end.

He Ze sat down at a table in the corner, ordered a cup of tea, and heard the sound of awakening wood sounding. Wei Quan was gone on the stage, and then he called the waiter and followed him to the backyard.

When he pushed the door open, the restaurant shopkeeper Yu and Wei Quan were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, but when he saw him, he got up.

"Brother He hasn't come for a few days. If I don't come for another two days, I have to come for you!" Wei Quan clasped his fists and laughed loudly.

Due to several time conflicts, He Ze later discussed with Wei Quan. He said more if he had time and less if he didn't have time. He didn't have to follow the agreement once every three days.

The last time He Ze came here was the day before he went to Yangliu Town with Lin Yu. That day he told Wei Quan about the rest of the plot in "The Legend of White Snake" and did not leave until the sun sets.

As for what Wei Quan said now...

There was a faint smile on He Ze's face. He walked to the pavilion, greeted Manager Yu, and then gave Wei Quan a fist-clamping ceremony, "Mr. Wei is joking, this... the agreement between us is over. Mr. Wei wants to find me. Could something go wrong?"

"No, of course not," Wei Quan kept smiling on his face. He pulled He Ze to sit down, "It's just that I'm very happy to work with Brother He. Now that the agreement has been settled, I feel... I really can't bear to leave it!"

"That's right, Mr. Wei mentioned Brother He as soon as he drank tea with me these two days. He forgot me, the shopkeeper! Haha!" The shopkeeper Yu also smiled and interrupted.

He Ze didn't say anything, but stood up and poured a cup of tea for the three of them. The tea fragrance lingered, and there was a seemingly vague charm in the air.

He picked up the teacup in front of him, "This is more worthy of Manager Yu and Mr. Wei. Today, He Ze used tea instead of wine, and toast them one cup."

"Drink! Drink!"

The three of them smiled and drank the cup of tea in one sip.

Putting down the teacup, Manager Yu and Wei Quan looked at each other, and the latter chuckled and suddenly spoke, "Brother He is just a man and keeps his trustworthy. In fact, Brother Yu really can't bear to stop our cooperation..."

"What does Mr. Wei mean?" He Ze gently rubbed the teacup in his hand with his thumb.

"Last time I heard from Brother He that I have heard a lot of stories since I was a child. This "Legend of White Snake" is just one of them. I don't know what other... Brother Yu has this blessing?"

He Ze looked up at Wei Quan, then bet his eyes on Manager Yu, who stopped drinking tea, "Is it because I disturbed the two of you here? Yu is leaving now?"

"Shopkeeper Xu was joking. Mr. Wei borrowed Mr. Xu's restaurant to make a living. I borrowed Mr. Wei's mouth to make a living. In this way, how could you disturb us!"

If he left, the subsequent play would not be able to be sung. Before Manager Yu could get up, He Ze quickly persuaded him to stop.

"Brother He said this..." Wei Quan seemed to be happy.

"Since Mr. Wei spoke, this is a good thing, why would I not agree? It's just about money..."

"It's easy to talk about money, but it's the original price. I'll pay a lot of money from Brother He. Is that good?" Wei Quan's voice was high, without any hesitation.

"Oh--"

Before he finished speaking, He Ze suddenly laughed, "It seems that what Mr. Wei said before is just polite. If Mr. Wei's sincerity is just like this... Say He Ze will say goodbye first."

As he said that, he had already stood up, but before he had taken a step, Wei Quan had already stood in front of him two steps, "Brother He! In terms of business, he always pays attention to bargaining. If Brother He is not satisfied, we will discuss it again. You are in a hurry to leave, you will not be kind!"

"Brother Yu said 2liang just now, but it's just a reference to the price proposed by Brother He before. Of course... Everyone can see the restaurant business these days. 2liang is indeed a little too little. Let's discuss it again! Is this okay?"

"Yes, Brother He, you have a rare trip, why are you so anxious to leave?" Manager Yu also stood up, "If Brother He thinks that the money Mr. Wei is not suitable, why should I raise the price you can accept, and I will help you with the palm of your eyes, what if?"

"Look at what the shopkeeper Yu said, Brother He is still unwilling to give Brother Yu this face?" As he said that, Wei Quan pulled He Ze back to his seat, and the latter was also half-suppressed.

"Since Mr. Wei is so sincere, I'll get straight to the point," He Ze sat down and stretched out his hand, "This next story is five liang."

"Five liang?" Wei Quan couldn't help but repeat, and the smile on his face also stopped, "Brother He is joking?"

He could only get five taels of silver with "The Legend of White Snake" at most! The two taels he left for He Ze meant he only made three taels. Now He Ze spoke five taels at the moment of opening his mouth? This... it was like a lion's mouth!

"I'm not a joke, but Mr. Wei can rest assured. Of course, I won't let you pay five taels of silver at once."

"Then are you?" Wei Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shopkeeper Yu, since Mr. Wei is telling a story in your restaurant, the business of Mr. Wei and I also involves the business of your restaurant. Otherwise, what if we sign a tripartite agreement?"

He Ze did not answer Wei Quan's words, but turned his gaze to the other person.

"Tripartite agreement? What do you mean?"

Manager Yu stopped drinking tea and squinted his eyes slightly.

"What Mr. Wei and I do is just to make wedding clothes for you. The restaurant is like a guest, making a lot of money... but only Manager Yu!"

As soon as He Ze said this, Wei Quan, who was beside him, was stunned.

"Can you know, Brother He wants me to pay the money?" Manager Yu put down the teacup and glanced at He Ze quietly.

"That's right. It's only five taels of silver. I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket than what the shopkeeper has made in these days. You can discuss with Mr. Wei, just see the silver."

In fact, from the beginning, the best partner was Shopper Yu. This huge restaurant, squeezed out a little from the gap, and it earned much more than Wei Quan. The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the partner also determines the interests to a large extent.

Just like if you sell a bowl of rice to a beggar and a bowl of rice to the emperor, rice is the same rice, and as for the value... it is very different.

Of course, he dared to shout to the emperor only if he let the emperor know that this bowl of rice is delicious. He Ze is now speaking to Manager Yu, and the same is true.

But he didn't think about making a living by using this, otherwise it would be not difficult to negotiate with Manager Yu for two more days.

"Of course, if Manager Yu has doubts, just pretend that I didn't say that."

Seeing that Manager Yu was silent for a long time, He Ze curled the corners of his lips, picked up the teapot and poured another cup for himself, and blew the fragrance of the tea twice, then took a sip.

"Indeed, it's only five taels, and Brother He is still very kind," After a while, Manager Yu finally smiled on his face. "If your next story can make Mr. Wei nod, the rest of the matter will be the same as you and he discussed before. When I leave later, I will re-produce a deed and ask the accountant to pay you five taels of silver."

"Shopkeeper Yu is so happy. I'll give you another cup," He Zelang smiled and said as he drank the tea in the cup. "I wish you a prosperous business and a prosperous source of wealth!"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

After the matter was settled, a burst of laughter broke out in the pavilion again, and He Ze was kept for lunch before leaving.

Holding the five taels of silver that had not yet been warmed up, He Ze entered the door of the blacksmith shop where he sold arrows to Lin Yu last time. When he came out, he had a longbow and an arrow basket on his back, which contained several arrows and a sharp tiger fork.

After returning home all the way, He Ze didn't go out much the next two days. He tinkered with the arrows in his hand when he had nothing to do. He Youcai and Li asked, but he only answered on a whim.

"when--"

In the yard, He Ze released an arrow, and the tiles hanging on the yard wall cracked again, and several pieces fell all over the floor.

"Brother, you are so awesome!" He An, who was standing beside him, clapped his palms, with stars popping in his eyes, "Isn't this what Brother Lin taught you? I remember you have never touched a bow and arrow before."

"...Who said I have never touched it? Riding and archery is one of the six arts of gentlemen. There are also archery competitions in the academy." Although few people participated.

He Ze was stunned for a moment and narrowed his eyes again.

"That's it..." He An curled his lips and then said excitedly, "Brother, have you won?"

Have you won?

"... Children's family, what do you ask about this?" He Ze suddenly withdrew the arrow and slapped He An in the head, "Where is Dad Emu?"

"My father went out to make wooden utensils for him, and Em helped him go, saying he wouldn't come back at noon, so if we were hungry, we would heat up the food in the pot."

"I won't come back..."

He Ze glanced at the mountain peak in the distance, suddenly entered the kitchen and packed a few sesame cakes and dried steamed buns, and carried a longbow and arrow basket. "Brother went to the mountain. If my father and mother come back and ask, you said I went to a friend's house in the academy. I'll probably... I'll come back tomorrow, have you heard?"

"Tomorrow? Brother, what are you doing? What are you going up the mountain to hunt or do? You are alone..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Seeing He An open his mouth like a cannon, He Ze quickly interrupted him, bent down and tied his trouser legs, and then arrived at the gate of the yard in a few steps. "Brother, let's go first, come back to keep it, so that you can taste what bear meat tastes!"

"Brother, you..."

"Stay at home well, remember, don't let it go!" He Ze reiterated again, and he had arrived at the ridge of the field in a blink of an eye.

"Brother!"

Before He An could react to anything, he chased forward two more steps, but soon disappeared from He Ze's shadow.

The author has something to say: There are two more chapters, and there should be a big move, but it is very lingering if you don’t code.
