Jianghu are all masters

115.

The development of the matter was obviously somewhat beyond Zhang Xiaoyuan's expectation.

Didn't many people transcribe things for this secret anecdote?Are they all supported by Cao Susu and Pei Junze?

Then they are so expensive!

Profiteer!This is definitely a profiteer!

Having said that, he still handed over the article he had written and sealed in the envelope, lowered his hat without saying a word, and put on a calm and low-key look of a mature knight.

The shopkeeper was so excited, he took the article from Zhang Xiaoyuan, read it carefully several times, and seemed extremely satisfied. Before Zhang Xiaoyuan could discuss the price with him, he had already stuffed a silver ticket into Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand.

"I think the big brother is a talented person." The shopkeeper's face was full of sincerity, "This is a deposit, I wonder if the big brother can provide us... with some new news for a long time in the future?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked down...it seemed to be the bank note he had just given him.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was a little speechless, he lowered his voice, and said in a muffled voice: "I am not a pale person."

"This is not a big problem!" The shopkeeper slapped the table, startling Zhang Xiaoyuan, "This kind of problem can be solved!"

He walked around the counter, walked up to the dozing clerk, and slapped the table harder, which made the clerk jump up from the table in fright, and the shopkeeper was extremely anxious, as if he was afraid that Zhang Xiaoyuan would not be able to run away in time. He hurriedly said to the store clerk: "Go and get the homing pigeon raised by Mr. Cao!"

When Zhang Xiaoyuan heard Cao Susu's name again, he couldn't help being curious, he turned his head to look, and saw that the shop assistant also showed excited and admiring eyes to him, and ran into the back hall in a hurry.

Then the shopkeeper turned around and said to Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Big brother, to tell you the truth, there are several carrier pigeons in our store. You can take one home. If there is any new news, let the carrier pigeon send it to us." Just do it!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

It would be a good idea if there were a carrier pigeon that could deliver the letter back.

It's just to write down a piece of Jianghu rumor clearly, let alone maybe a few pieces of letter paper, for the pigeon...doesn't it really feel too heavy?

Zhang Xiaoyuan was suspicious.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the shopkeeper thought he wanted to refuse, and felt a little anxious, but when he was anxious, the top of his head began to scramble out words again and again.

"What to do, why is he not moved? Is my offer too low!"

The shopkeeper frowned, and was extremely reluctant to take out a small ingot of silver from his pocket, put it in front of Zhang Xiaoyuan, and said, "I know, the deposit just now was too small..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Can this be done? !

Zhang Xiaoyuan stared at the top of the shopkeeper's head, and continued without saying a word.

"What to do, why is he still not moved! Is the asking price really too low!"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, took out two bank notes and put them on the table, and said, "Big brother! Our young man is very generous. If you can provide us with more information, the deposit can be negotiated!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was stunned.

These three bank notes plus the ingot of silver amounted to more than 300 taels. The idiot in the shopkeeper's mouth... seems to be really rich.

Zhang Xiaoyuan cleared his throat, but did not speak.

The shopkeeper was silent.

"I don't have much money anymore, but he is still not moved."

"But it's been a long time since there's been a new draft, Mr. Cao can't write anymore..."

The shopkeeper froze his heart and rummaged in his sleeve for a long time, finally took out a crumpled bank note that looked like it had been covered for a long time, slapped it on the table, and said, "Big brother! Think about it!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at the shopkeeper's head.

116.

Zhang Xiaoyuan reluctantly said: "Then... okay."

The shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief.

He held out his thumb and wiped his eyes, looking distressed.

Zhang Xiaoyuan, who was trying to become a profiteer for the first time, felt a little guilty for no reason. He slowly turned his gaze away to the entrance of the back hall where the clerk left just now, not looking at the shopkeeper's pitiful eyes.

He waited for a long time, and the shop assistant finally came out with a large bird cage covered with a calico cloth.

It was a little difficult for him to carry it, and he didn't know how heavy the cage was, but when he walked out the door, Zhang Xiaoyuan heard the crowing of pigeons, to be precise, he should have heard the crowing of many pigeons.

This picture is really weird.

He was standing in a restaurant with googoo lingering all over his body, and the shop assistant was at a loss and whispered to the shopkeeper. Zhang Xiaoyuan saw what he said at a glance, and he was asking the shopkeeper: "Is this not good?" ?”

The shopkeeper almost had tears in his eyes and said, "What's wrong!"

Store clerk: "It's been too long..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan understood in his heart.

I'm afraid it wasn't because they had kept this pigeon for too long, and they already had a relationship. Now they suddenly want to give one of the pigeons to him, an unknown stranger, and they can't blame them for their reluctance.

Who knows if he will send them a letter after taking the money and taking the pigeons?Bao Buqi cooked the pigeons and ate them.

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that this was not an option.

He had to make them trust him.

Zhang Xiaoyuan frowned and thought, the shopkeeper lifted a corner of the floral cloth covering the birdcage, and peeked in, his brows and eyes frowned immediately, and he muttered for a long time: "It's true...it's been too long... "

He was pitiful just now with tears in his eyes, and with this frown, Zhang Xiaoyuan already felt that he was about to cry. Zhang Xiaoyuan was already guilty, but now he felt that he cheated so much money from the shopkeeper and wanted to take away his loved ones Pigeons that have been raised for a long time, this move is really heinous, like a demon cult villain.

How about... refund some money back?

Zhang Xiaoyuan hesitated, he was about to speak, when suddenly the shopkeeper seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly lifted the cloth.

He watched the flowered cloth fluttering up into the air, and then slowly falling down, revealing an old iron cage. The shopkeeper pointed to the iron cage with a sad and firm face and said, "Brother, this is ours." Pigeons, you...you pick one and go!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at the iron cage.

There were plump and plump pigeons crowded in the cage, and they tilted their heads to look at him. Each of them looked... at least weighing a catty and a half to two catties, and letters appeared on the top of their heads.

"Goo."

"Cuckoo?"

"Cuckoo!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Oh.

It turned out to be too long.

Is that what you mean? !

117.

Zhang Xiaoyuan stretched out a finger, inserted it through the gap in the iron cage, and poked the chest of one of the fat pigeons.

It is fluffy and fleshy, feels good to the touch, and looks delicious. It should be very suitable for roasted squab.

But such a pigeon... can it really send moving letters? !

He looked at the shopkeeper and asked a question.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Is this too fat?"

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead with a guilty conscience, and said, "Don't... don't look at them as fat! It's just that they have been raised for too long, and they fly less..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan asked: "Can this really fly?"

The shopkeeper couldn't help nodding: "Don't worry! These are all fine varieties in Beijing, the ones that the palace likes to play with the most. Although they look fat now, they were trained rigorously before. Sending a few letters is not a problem! "

Zhang Xiaoyuan was very suspicious.

The shopkeeper coughed again and said, "Brother, if you don't believe me, we can test the flight..."

He opened the iron cage door, and grabbed the fattest and fattest pigeon that looked like a little chubby chicken, and asked Zhang Xiaoyuan to walk to the backyard with him.

He tossed the fat pigeon into the sky with great effort, and said to Zhang Xiaoyuan confidently: "Brother, look!"

The fat pigeon really flapped its wings twice, flew a few steps away, then shook its tail feathers, and fell to the ground with a flutter. It turned its fat body and walked back. It tilted its head and looked at the two of them: "Coo .”

Shopkeeper: "..."

Shopkeeper: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

……

Zhang Xiaoyuan spoke silently.

"I keep chickens in the kitchen at home." He said word by word, "I can fly higher than it."

Shopkeeper: "..."

118.

The shopkeeper is unwilling to admit defeat.

Anyway, it's a rare new manuscript that was finally delivered to your door. If you just watched the new manuscript go away, not to mention that Mr. Cao couldn't forgive him, he couldn't even forgive himself!

He asked the store clerk to move the bird cages to the backyard, and he wanted to test them one by one!

The ground in the backyard was full of plump and cuckling pigeons looking for food. The tallest one just flew out of the wall, and flew back before making a circle.

The shopkeeper fell into despair.

His new draft... The secrets of Jianghu copied the new draft...

He gritted his teeth, raised his head again, and looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"Hero!" He called out his name, crying, as if he wanted to jump over and hug Zhang Xiaoyuan's leg, "Believe me! They're just a little fatter, and they can really deliver letters!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Such a fat pigeon...he really doubted it.

The shopkeeper looked around and picked out the thinnest pigeon, which seemed to weigh about one and a half catties, stuffed it into Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand, and said, "Look at this perfect muscle!"

Not so fat pigeon: "Coo!"

It has a plump chest, so fat that the curve of the neck cannot be seen at all.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

The shopkeeper grabbed Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand, making Zhang Xiaoyuan shrink back in fright, but the shopkeeper just pulled him and touched the pigeon's wings.

The shopkeeper: "Look at these solid and strong wings!"

Not-so-fat pigeon: "Cuckoo!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

This is no different from the live poultry chicken wings bought on the street!

The shopkeeper: "It's just a little fatter now, it really could fly before!"

Looking at the shopkeeper's earnest eyes, Zhang Xiaoyuan reluctantly nodded.

But what's the use? Even if you can fly, that's a thing of the past.

The shopkeeper: "He just needs to be a little thinner, just a little bit!"

The shopkeeper raised his hand and drew a small distance between his thumb and forefinger to show that it is really easy to make this fat pigeon lose weight.

Zhang Xiaoyuan had some ominous premonition.

He frowned and asked, "So?"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and put his hand into his belt, startling Zhang Xiaoyuan again.

But the shopkeeper just fumbled on his belt for a long time, and found two more bank notes.

"It's better for the hero to take the pigeon back first, let it fly more on weekdays, and lose weight in a few days!" The shopkeeper held Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand and stuffed the silver ticket into Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand, "I know Heroes have worked so hard, this... this is the reward for their hard work!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan stared blankly at the head of the shopkeeper.
