() At this time, the boss Xing Qianhu on the side came to the rescue: "Mr. Factory, my subordinate will ask someone to borrow a car next door."
This is a way, Wang Chengen nodded.
Originally Zhong Jinwei wanted to say, although I have never ridden, I still want to ride. In later generations, one of Zhong Jinwei’s wishes was to travel to the grasslands and learn how to ride horses gracefully on TV. It should be very enjoyable, not to mention that now it has made a person
If you ride with the boys in the class surrounded by you, you will be awesome. How could you not give it a try?
Now that I heard that I wanted to borrow a car, I wanted to refuse, but I immediately thought that Archie outside the door would want to ride in a car, so I didn't ask. In ancient times, I was afraid that I wouldn't have the chance to ride a horse! He comforted himself like this.
After a while, Wang Peng and Gu Baichuan had already changed into casual clothes and came out. The car over there was also borrowed, which was a two-wheeled covered carriage drawn by a horse. When everything was ready, Zhong Jinwei said goodbye to Wang Chengen, and then went with Archi.
After getting on the carriage, An Guiyi drove, with Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng guarding on both sides of the carriage, and headed for Dingfu Street.
Zhong Jinwei sat in the car and felt a bit shaken. The seat was not very comfortable. He couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that BMWs are just like this!"
"Young Master, do you think that horse is a BMW?" Archie was a little surprised.
"This BMW is not that BMW." Zhong Jinwei didn't want to explain in detail, so he just brushed it off in a vague way.
Archie was also obedient and stopped asking. He just sat in the car and staggered for a while. Suddenly, he heard the sound of "Gulu".
Zhong Jinwei followed the source of the sound and looked up at Archie's belly. Archie was embarrassed and covered his stomach with his hand, subconsciously trying to block Zhong Jinwei's sight. Unexpectedly, there was another "Gurgling" sound. However, this
This time it came from Zhong Jinwei's own belly.
Zhong Jinwei laughed. Only then did he remember that it was already past noon and he was very hungry.
So, he opened the car curtain, and when Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng who were guarding him on both sides saw it, they both came over with their horses. Zhong Jinwei said sheepishly: "It's already past meal time, I didn't notice, sorry! Everybody
We’re hungry, let’s find a restaurant to have a meal first.”
When An Guiyi heard the sound of the curtain being lifted, he had already turned around. After listening to Zhong Jinwei's words, he asked for instructions: "What kind of restaurant do you want to go to, Uncle Zhongxing?"
"We are outside and it is not a formal occasion. There is no need to call me Uncle Zhong Xing. It sounds awkward. I should be older than you. Just call me Brother Zhong. The restaurant is casual and I am not familiar with it. You can take care of it." Zhong Jinwei
When I was working on projects in the past, all the people under my command were named Brother Zhong. In fact, if we really count, everyone here is hundreds of years older than him.
After all, the difference in status is too big, and the concepts of people in ancient and modern times are quite different. No matter what, no one dares to call Zhong Jinwei as Brother Zhong. In the end, the young master reconciles.
Although they didn't call him Brother Zhong, An Guiyi and the two fans were quite happy to see Zhong Jinwei talking like this. Gu Baichuan recommended: "There is a good restaurant in front of you called Zhuangyuan Building. How about we go there?"
Eat, it is our blessing to meet the young master today, so I will let you, the little host, honor you."
"How is this possible? Of course I invited you. Not to mention that I'm the longest, you all came out to help me today. Of course I'm the host. I'm here to greet you." Without waiting for them to argue, he went back to the car.
Since Zhong Jinwei said so, Gu Baichuan stopped trying to steal the host. He speeded up and hurried forward.
Soon, they arrived at the building where Gu Baichuan was talking about the number one scholar. Zhong Jinwei and Archi both got out of the car, and were greeted by two store waiters. One took them into the store, and the other helped them park the car aside. Wang Peng took the lead.
Gu Baichuan's horse also went to tie it up.
The Zhuangyuan Building has two floors. The first floor is a lobby with seven or eight tables. Although there are not many diners eating, most of the people at each table are chatting while eating, which makes the gathering sound quite loud.
Zhong Jinwei thought it would not be very convenient to take Archie to eat here, so he asked if there was a private room.
Although the waiter saw that Zhong Jinwei was wearing civilian clothes, the clothes and demeanor of the few people around him were extraordinary, and some of them were carrying knives. He did not dare to neglect at that moment, so he led them to a private room on the second floor.
Zhong Jinwei looked good, so he imitated what he saw on TV, took out a silver coin from his pocket, threw it to the waiter, and said, "Please bring good wine and good food, but be quick."
The waiter in the shop received the silver, weighed it for a moment, and was stunned. He estimated that there were twelve taels of silver. Is this a lot of money, is he showing off or is he a second-generation ancestor who doesn't know the world?
Gu Baichuan noticed it, glared and said, "Hurry up and go."
The waiter didn't know why, but he was a little afraid of this person who was talking, so he quickly left and went to organize things.
After the waiter left, Gu Baichuan smiled and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master, you don't need to pay so much money. If you have a meal here, even if you serve the best food, it won't cost you so much money."
Zhong Jinwei blinked and was misled by movies and TV shows again? He asked: "How do you say it?"
Seeing that Zhong Jinwei really didn't know, Gu Baichuan explained: "Currently, if settled in terms of silver, good quality pork costs one quarter of a catty, mutton costs three cents of a catty, live carp is also about one quarter of a catty, and live old hens cost eight cents of a catty.
One on the left and one on the left. So we just ate as much as we wanted, all meat, and I guess it only cost about seven or eight dollars."
It seems that it is not very clear how the weight of silver is divided. Gu Baichuan has explained it so clearly, but he is still a little confused and can't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Looking at Zhong Jinwei's expression, Archi basically knew what the reason was, so he walked up to Zhong Jinwei, leaned close to his ear and whispered in his ear: "Master, one tael of silver is worth ten pieces of silver, and one piece of silver is worth one hundred pieces."
point."
Archie's breath was like a blue, which made Zhong Jinwei very comfortable, but what was even more heartwarming was Archie's thoughtfulness, which prevented him from making a fool of himself.
An Guiyi and the two fans pretended not to notice, slapping each other haha.
After Zhong Jinwei understood the current prices, he felt that he had taken a fool. He immediately changed his attention and asked everyone to take a seat.
Archi was accustomed to standing behind Zhong Jinwei. After Zhong Jinwei sat down, he looked for Archi but could not find him. After a while, he found Archi behind him, and quickly pulled Archi over and sat down next to him. In this way, Zhong Jinwei took the seat.
, Archi sat next to him, An Guiyi sat on the left, Gu Baichuan sat on the right, and Wang Peng sat on the head.
An Guiyi knew that Archie would become a countess, but Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng didn't know about it and were secretly surprised.
Just when they were seated, the waiter quickly came in and served tea first. Then he asked with a smile: "Dear guests, the shop currently has the signature wine, the 30-year-old Zhuangyuan wine, and of course the daughter's red.
It's only twenty-five years old. I wonder if your guest would like a pot?"
Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng both looked at Zhong Jinwei. It must be Zhong Jinwei who made the decision at the moment.
Seeing that no one was talking, the waiter was afraid that the guest would lose a profit-making point if he didn't order, so he quickly recommended: "Sir, in this cold day, a pot of hot wine will be in your stomach. It will be like a fairy."
Enjoy it.”
Zhong Jinwei saw that the two fans wanted to drink, and he had to try ancient wine when he came, so he nodded and said: "First have a pot each of Zhuangyuan wine and Nuerhong, and then just pick out the dishes and serve them."
, move quickly."
The waiter knew that he was a big benefactor and agreed repeatedly. After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, Gu Baichuan shouted to the waiter: "We are all old experts in drinking. If you dare to add a little water to the wine, be careful I will smash you."
Shop sign."
The waiter kept saying he didn't dare, and then went to work in a hurry.
Everyone was speechless as they watched the waiter leave, and the scene became cold.
When An Guiyi saw it, he first spoke to Zhong Jinwei and said: "The current price of the house that the Holy Spirit rewarded you is at least 800 taels. Congratulations to Uncle Zhongxing!"
He also knew that Zhong Jinwei was not very clear about prices, so he gave an example: "Nowadays, a house with five rooms in a poor location only costs about thirty-three taels of silver. Uncle Zhongxing's house is not only big, but also in a good location.
Dingfu Street, the residence of Duke Xu Guo was also there."
After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei laughed and said nothing. He was calculating in his mind that in future generations, the house price for a national dignitary would cost tens of millions, and he might still not be able to buy it.
The two fans also started cheering and congratulated Zhong Jinwei together.
At this time, I heard a noise coming from outside the door: "Let's go, go faster, you are dragging your feet, watch your skin carefully!"
Everyone in the room was disappointed and looked at the place where the sound came from with disinterest.
