"My dear, I never thought that receiving a bounty would be so tiring!"
Looking at the hill-like pile of copper coins in front of him, Chai Tiannuo almost went crazy. He really didn't expect that these copper coins could be divided into official coins, northwest coins, and private coins.
Moreover, the price of each type of copper coin is not consistent. The official coin is 1, and the northwest coin is equivalent to the official coin with a 10% discount because it is mixed with lead.
And this northwest casting is not too troublesome. What is troublesome is the private casting. The good ones are copper mixed with iron, and the bad ones are just fucking iron mixed with copper!
"No, you still want to give me a 40% discount on this crappy thing?"
Chaitino vigorously shook the dark copper plate in his hand, which was not a copper plate, and he was so angry that snot bubbles came out of his nose:
"Have you noticed that the rust on this thing is all black, pure black!"
"This is a fucking piece of iron, okay?!"
Chaitino yelled and rubbed his forehead, almost furious.
"How about I give you a 30% discount?"
The chief accountant held out three fingers hesitantly, and Chai Tiannuo waved his hand:
"Don't do this, I just want the big copper pieces, not the iron pieces, just let me rummage around!"
"More than 90,000 pieces. I won't be able to get it together tomorrow morning if I find it."
The accountants looked at the mountain of copper coins and cried.
"Two discounts, or you will give it to someone else!"
An hour later, he took out the copper coins. Chai Tiannuo looked at the several super big bags in his hand and sighed. Damn it, even though 90,000 coins turned into hundreds of thousands coins, why did he feel so bad in his heart?
Diaphragm response?
"Chai Xiucai, how do you drink?"
Chai Tiannuo met Zhao Jiujin as soon as he walked out of the door. Zhao Yingtou didn't say anything else and asked directly if he could have a drink.
Chaitino thought for a while, nodded and shook his head:
"I can drink it, but I can't."
"...Why are these words so awkward?"
Zhao Jijin couldn't help scratching his chin, Chai Tiannuo grinned and said:
"I've had drinks with people before, but I don't get drunk just by drinking, so I don't know how to drink."
This guy is so crazy that he knows no bounds. Zhao Jiujin, who considers himself a prodigious drinker, pointed in the direction of the market:
"Practice with me?"
"The loser pays!"
"no problem!"
A bright smile appeared on Chaitino's face. If someone came to treat him, he had to go.
"Boss, the rabbit has been washed, and the good beans have been fed. My dear, I have eaten twenty eggs!"
Several people from the old age also followed. Chai Tiannuo patted Rouge Rabbit's neck with satisfaction. Yes, it was indeed clean.
"Send the money bag back to me and give it to my man. You can count the money yourself. There are all kinds of fine things, including iron pieces."
The old man curled his lips, so of course he wanted a big man cast by the government, and the iron pieces were so worthless.
"Boss, the camp leader said that you are the descendant of the old ghost whistle. Is this true or false?"
The old man pulled Chaitino aside and asked in a low voice, while Big Luo and Xiao Luo looked at Chaitino expectantly.
Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but glance at Zhao Jiujin who was teasing Rouge Rabbit, thinking that the information was quite good.
Nodding slightly, Chaitino smiled and said:
"So, my martial arts half master is the camp leader of Old Gui Shao, and the swordsmanship instructor at the martial arts school is also from Gui Shao."
Excited expressions suddenly appeared on the faces of several people. They led Rouge Rabbit with a bag full of money and talked fiercely while walking. Chai Tiannuo just wanted to laugh. He never thought that the influence of Ghost Whistle was greater than he thought.
Be big.
When he arrived at the market, Chaitino was surprised. He really didn't expect that a small frontier town could be so lively.
Looking for a mutton stall set up on the street, Zhao Jiujin asked the boss to serve half of the stewed mutton, and then asked Chai Tiannuo with a smile:
"Why, please give me two kilograms first to moisten your intestines and stomach?"
Chaitino looked at the large and small wine jars aside and asked the boss directly:
"Shopkeeper, how many kilograms of wine does your big pot hold?"
"Twenty exactly."
While the boss was busy ladling soup and forking the mutton, he said with a smile, Zhao Yingtou spent a lot of money, and he will definitely make a lot of money today.
"First, let's make two jars, so that we can moisten our intestines and stomachs."
Poof, all the tea that Zhao Jiujin drank in his mouth spurted out. Twenty kilograms of strong alcohol must have burned through his intestines!
When the boss heard this, his hands and feet were shaking, and he smiled bitterly and said:
"Sir, this is a border town cooking. The wine is very strong. Not to mention twenty kilograms, five kilograms can burn someone to death."
"So strong?"
Chai Tiannuo raised his eyebrows, and the boss nodded vigorously:
"It's so intense!"
"That's it!"
Chaitino slapped the table and said happily:
"Wine is like a throat-slitting knife. If it wasn't so strong, wouldn't it taste like horse urine?"
Zhao Jijin lamented that he missed it so much, but he hadn’t heard it for a long time.
Seeing his boss in a daze, Chai Tiannuo took out two jars by himself, placed one jar in front of Zhao Jijin, smashed the mud seal of his own jar with one palm, and drank most of the jar in one go.
"happy!"
"Have a drink, Colonel Lieutenant. This wine is really good. After one sip, your stomach will feel warm."
"...Someone, I'm willing to give in!"
Zhao Jiujin was sweating on his forehead and surrendered immediately. It was no longer a matter of his drinking capacity. This guy in front of him was so gluttonous that he couldn't compare with him at all!
"Let me just say, I don't know how to drink."
Chaitino grinned, cut off a fan steak from the porcelain basin that was just brought up, and ate it with a big mouthful.
Zhao Jiujin gave a thumbs up in admiration. He was really convinced. Where did all the wine go? His stomach didn't bulge at all.
While eating and drinking, Zhao Jiujin asked about the past. There was nothing to hide. Chai Tiannuo told the truth, which shocked Zhao Jiujin.
His frail body changed due to unexpected encounters, and he transitioned from civilized to martial arts. It sounds like a script!
"Cao Yingtou, how are you doing now?"
Zhao Jiujin finally asked what he was most concerned about. It was not just him, but the old frontier soldiers in the northwest who didn't want to know what the legend of that man who was capable of both literary and martial arts was like now.
As soon as he mentioned this, Chaitino became interested:
"How is Uncle Cao doing now? Let me tell you..."
Chai Tiannuo told everything about Cao Fu, especially when he talked about buying a wife, he was very happy.
Zhao Jijin grinned when he heard this. This kind of person buying a wife for his master was really unheard of!
"Do you know why Cao Yingtou and the others don't want to come back? What happened to the ghost whistle back then?"
"The northwest frontier troops are all looking forward to their return."
Taking a sip of wine, Zhao Jiujin's eyes were full of longing.
Chaitino thought for a while and said doubtfully:
"I heard that the ghost whistle has been rebuilt. Whether Uncle Cao and the others come back, it shouldn't have any impact, right?"
"Not even close!"
Zhao Jijin drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and said bitterly:
"The old ghost whistle is a tiger, and the new ghost whistle is a cat. They are totally different."
"Without those seniors, the royal court's elite and hilly areas are completely unstoppable. Now most of those areas are controlled by the grassland royal court."
Chaitino thought for a while and shook his head slightly:
"Can't come back."
"Why?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but Uncle Li Yichuan once said that there may not be many ghost whistles left in the world."
