The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

After all the dishes were ready, Fourth Master Long stared at the steaming corn on the cob and steamed yam (sweet potato) in the middle of the table on a plate with a golden lacquer painting of flowers blooming and riches, and asked thoughtfully: "What are you doing?" It means that these two things have high yields and are easy to grow?"

"Yes!" Xue Pan was gnawing a ear of corn, and answered Long Siye's question with a nod in a daze.There is a grain of corn left on the cheek, how does it look... Two.

Hearing the words, Fourth Master Long pondered for a moment, and said, "There are extra seeds, share them with me."

Xue Pan immediately called the shop waiter to call Zhang Quan over.After Zhang Quan walked over without touching the ground, he pointed to the corn and other things on the table and asked, "Can these things bring seeds when they come back?"

"Bring it! At the beginning, I was afraid that Uncle Xue was used to eating and there was nowhere to look for it. The steward of the caravan collected nearly half of the seeds in the warehouse and brought them back! In addition to the seeds of corn and yams, there are also seeds of tomatoes and several vegetables. gone."

That steward has a long-term vision.Even if Mr. Xue's family got tired of eating crooked food, he planted some other ones and put them in the Fuyuan restaurant as a gimmick, which would show that his own restaurant is different from the other ones.

Upon hearing this, Xue Pan waved his hand, and said boldly: "Wrap the seeds well, and send them all to Fourth Master Long when the time comes."

"Ah?" Zhang Quan was troubled when he heard it. "There are so many of them! They can fill half a warehouse! If they are real, they can grow thousands of hectares of land!"

The implication is that you are so greedy, can you swallow it?

Xue Pan's face darkened, and he reprimanded: "You can take it if you tell me, it's not so petty, it's embarrassing to the master."

Don't take a long look, the master wants something, and you have the courage to hide it.His scolding was also for Zhang Quan's sake.Even if Fourth Master Long was unhappy, he wouldn't vent his anger with a servant.

Zhang Quan also had good intentions, and felt sorry for the Xue family's hard work in vain, but he didn't know the identity of Fourth Master Long.Now being scolded by Xue Pan blushed, and my heart became more and more vigilant, knowing that this person was something they and even the Xue family could not afford to offend, so I had to bow again and again: "The little ones are stupid, the little ones are stupid, and the little ones will immediately make people laugh." Load it into the car and send it to fourth master now."

"Just send it to Haitang Pavilion. There is a cellar in the side courtyard of Haitang Pavilion, let's put it in it first!" Xue Pan waved his hand and ordered, "Hey, hey." Zhang Quan nodded quickly.

"You don't have to take them all." Fourth Master Long waved his hand at this moment and said, "I'm just curious if what you said is true. I'll just take two bags and I'll go back and try it out. It's a long way back to the capital, and I don't have the manpower. "

"Then fourth master leave me a place to live, and I'll send someone to take it there for you." Xue Pan insisted on ignoring Fourth Master Long's words.

A smile flashed in Fourth Master Long's eyes, and he said, "Just ask Gao Wei when the time comes."

Gao Wei was the entourage who followed Fourth Master Long when we met for the first time, and he was also following downstairs at the moment, Xue Pan had some impressions.Reminding myself in my heart to remember to order Zhaocai to ask for the address of Fourth Master Long, I glanced at the dishes on the table, frowned and said, "Why is there no wine? Hey, why aren't you serving wine?"

The smile on Zhang Quan's face suddenly became stiff, and he said falteringly: "This... this..."

"Don't do this and that." Xue Pan waved his hands impatiently, and ordered: "Hurry up and bring the best wine from our Fuyuan Restaurant, and push it lightly, so that Fourth Master can laugh at him."

Zhen Baoyu also stopped in a panic: "No need to drink, no need to drink, it's good to have some food."

"I didn't ask you again." Xue Pan gave Zhen Baoyu a big roll of his eyes, and continued: "Hurry up, let the shopkeeper bring the good wine."

Zhang Quan couldn't evade it, so he had to bow down and say: "As for the uncle, the young one has always only cared about the ingredients of the dishes in Fuyuan Restaurant, and this wine is not under my control, so the young one will call the shopkeeper."

After finishing speaking, Xue Pan didn't allow Xue Pan to react, so he turned around and left.On this side, Zhen Baoyu couldn't stop Xue Pan, so he could only wink at Fourth Master Long, seeing Fourth Master Long bewildered for a while.

"Which play are you acting in again?" Fourth Master Long leaned on the backrest and said with a relaxed attitude.

"You can't let him drink!" Zhen Baoyu said mysteriously with a "bad food" expression on his face: "Fourth Master Long, we will serve wine later, so we can't let Xue Pan take a sip!"

"What are you talking about?" Xue Pan stared, "I didn't drink your wine, so there is no need for you to feel bad."

"Hey, my lord! Don't you usually say that drinking is a mistake? Why are you drinking in broad daylight today?" Jiang Yuan, the shopkeeper, nodded and walked in, flattering him, but he didn't say anything. .

"Wine is not what I want to drink. The fourth master has come from a long way. No matter what, let him taste the signature wine of our Fuyuan Restaurant - Xinghuacun."

"This..." Jiang Yuan hesitated when he heard the words.The main reason why he was able to serve as the big shopkeeper of Fuyuan Pavilion was that he was able to see people accurately and had good eyesight.Yesterday, as soon as Xue Pan and Fourth Master Long came, he knew that Fourth Master Long was not an ordinary person. Although he didn't know what the identity of Fourth Master Long was, judging from his demeanor and Xue Pan's flattering attitude, he would treat him as an ordinary person. It belongs to the type that must not be offended.Now Xue Pan shirks that Fourth Master Long wants to drink, but he has no good reason to refuse.

Fourth Master Long watched coldly from the side, originally it didn't matter whether he served the wine or not, after all he was a rigorous and harsh person, what he hated the most was the smell of alcohol during the day.But it’s okay to drink a few cups, not to mention that Xue Pan and the others are really tempting people to sell this pass, so it is unavoidable to say: "Since you praise your wine so much, it will be a pity if I don't try it. Just get a pot!"

Now that the guest has asked for it, Jiang Yuan no longer struggles.Hastily bowed and retreated.After a while, he walked in with a tray in his hands, which contained a beautifully carved jug and several exquisite and delicate cups.

Jiang Yuan poured wine for the three of them himself, Fourth Master Long keenly noticed that when pouring wine for Xue Pan, Jiang Yuan's thumb inadvertently touched a hidden button on the top of the handle, and he felt three points in his heart Suspicious, and seeing Zhen Baoyu's relieved face when he saw this scene, he paid more attention.

Sure enough, Xue Pan took a sip of the wine and immediately yelled, "Why did you pour me plain water?"

He looked carefully at the wine container again, and said dumbfoundingly: "Why does this pot look familiar to me? Isn't this the Tibetan Feng pot that Jinbao Taodeng came out a few days ago?"

The hidden front pot has organs inside, and the heart of the pot is blocked by a thin layer of tin foil.Usually, it is no different from an ordinary jug, except that after pressing the hidden button, the inner pot is turned around, so the two people are poured wine, but when it comes to Xue Pan, it becomes boiled water.

"Aren't you a joker! When the three of us toast later, he drank up the wine with real swords and guns. I'm just pretending to be so disrespectful. Hurry up and pour the wine!" Xue Pan said, Impatiently knocking on the table.

"No disrespect, no disrespect." Zhen Baoyu hurriedly replied: "What kind of friendship do we have, there is no need to come here for such hypocrisy, just drink your white water."

"Whoever is lying to you, I want to respect the fourth master." Xue Pan said, poured himself a glass of wine, got up and said: "Fourth master, I respect you."

After finishing speaking, I finished it in one gulp.

Fourth Master Long watched with great interest, and then drank his wine. [The entrance is soft, the mouth is sweet, and the aftertaste after drinking. 】I only felt a fresh fragrance, and the pure breath spread in the mouth. Fourth Master Long couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, and praised: "Good wine!"

"It's bad, it's bad." Zhen Baoyu didn't care about Fourth Master Long at all, looked at Xue Pan with an expression of imminent disaster, and asked tentatively, "But drunk?"

"Drunk for what?" Xue Pan raised his eyebrows and replied very calmly.

"Are you... all right?" Zhen Baoyu looked cautious, and reached out to hold Xue Pan's arm, "Sit down if you're all right!"

Fourth Master Long didn't know what was going on, so he became more and more curious.The side face gave Jiang Yuan a look, and Jiang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to pour wine for Fourth Master Long, while he himself stared at Xue Pan with a worried face, his eyes were not bad.

Sure enough, Xue Pan's head came to the gods.Breaking free from Zhen Baoyu's shackles, Xue Pan licked his tongue and asked, "Sit, what are you doing?"

"No reason, drink and eat!" Zhen Baoyu coaxed softly, and tugged on Xue Pan's sleeve again unwillingly, "Sit down!"

"Don't sit!" Unsurprisingly, being thrown away again, Xue Pan took two steps back a little unsteadily, and said unsteadily, "Don't you guys feel a little hot?"

"It's not hot! That window is still open!" Jiang Yuan replied subconsciously, wishing he could bite his tongue off after saying this.But it was too late, Xue Pan stumbled towards the window, saying, "I'll go and see!"

"Hey——" Zhen Baoyu almost jumped up, rushed to Xue Pan in three steps at a time, and stretched out his hand to pull Xue Pan back. "Don't you want to eat? We haven't tasted the newly acquired food from overseas, so let's eat first!"

"Don't pull me, what kind of decency is it in public." Xue Pan threw off Zhen Baoyu's arm impatiently, and rushed to the window in two steps.The weather in February was still very cold, and a gust of cold wind blew by, making Xue Pan shiver involuntarily.Zhen Baoyu couldn't pull Xue Pan back, so he turned back anxiously and shouted: "Jiang Yuan, what are you still doing there, come quickly and pull your ancestor back."

"Hey!" Jiang Yuan just came back to his senses, but it was too late, and Xue Pan took two deep breaths, feeling a wave of energy held in his chest, and he couldn't vomit.Immediately closed his eyes, stretched his neck and sang: "If you die, you must love, if you don't feel happy, you won't be happy—"

Fourth Master Long was caught off guard, and with a "poof", all the wine was sprayed on the dishes, and nothing was wasted.

Zhen Baoyu hurriedly jumped to the side and called out. "It's over, it's over, it's embarrassing again. How can it make you smell like alcohol!"

And here, Fourth Master Long finally knew the reason for the secretiveness of Zhen Baoyu and the two before.He stared dumbfounded at the side where Xue Pan sang death, love, dancing and dancing.I am more and more amazed--

Grandpa finally knows what obscene words and pornographic songs are!
