Chapter 597: People are careless and careful
"Oh?" Chai Yan's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Where is it?"
The waiter pretended to be arrogant: "Sir, this...it's hard to talk about this kid. If Mr. Wang finds out that he's too talkative, then the days to come will be..."
At this point, the waiter stopped and the smile on his face became subtle.
How could Chai Yan not understand the waiter's intention? He immediately said nothing and put a larger piece of silver on the table with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm always very strict with my words." Chai Yan said.
The waiter couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the broken silver in front of him. He took the rag from his arm and wiped the table. When the waiter took the rag back, the broken silver had disappeared.
"Man, get the wine, get the wine..."
At this moment, the guests at the other table started calling out. The waiter was afraid that the shopkeeper would notice something strange, so he hurriedly complained to Chai Yan and went to greet the guests first.
Chai Yan was not in a hurry, he drank wine and ate the food leisurely, waiting for the waiter to come over after finishing his work.
On the contrary, Shangguan Peining was not happy: "Chai Yan, you have already given this boy money just now, why do you still allow him to blackmail you?"
Chai Yan poured the wine, and while drinking, he replied in his mind: "Master Shangguan, when you find someone to inquire about information, you have to pay something. It's just a little bit of silver, so why bother with it?"
"Humph, it means you have a good temper. If it were me, I would have dealt with him long ago!" Shangguan Peining said disdainfully.
Chai Yan shook his head and said nothing, drank the wine in one gulp, then took a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth, and ate it with relish.
After about a cup of tea, the waiter finally got some free time. When the shopkeeper wasn't paying attention, he whispered to Chai Yan: "Sir, please don't let Mr. Wang know that it was me who said that..."
.”
Chai Yan no longer gave any more guarantees, but nodded solemnly with a determined expression.
The waiter then said: "Sir, go to the Xingyuan Gambling House in the east of the city. Mr. Wang must be there!"
After saying that, the waiter pretended that nothing happened and left Chai Yan's table.
Xingyuan Gambling House!
Hearing that it was a gambling house, Chai Yan immediately understood. I bet that Secretary Wang was also a good gambler. No wonder his colleagues invited him to have fun at Fenghe Building that day, but he didn't seem interested at all.
Next, Chai Yan finished his meal quickly, then hurriedly left the shop and went to Xingyuan Gambling House.
Huguangju is actually located in the east of the city, so Xingyuan Gambling House is not far from home. Chai Yan found the place after a little inquiry.
When I came to Xingyuan Casino, I saw that the place was quite spacious, the decoration was decent, and there was an endless stream of gamblers.
Of course, compared to the gambling houses on Dahulu Street in the capital, it is still much inferior.
Chai Yan looked around and found no sign of Secretary Wang. Considering that it was still early, he probably hadn't come here yet.
Chai Yan looked at it for a while, then left Xingyuan Gambling House and walked to the market.
Now that we have come out, we stopped by to buy some ingredients and silver carbon. When the time comes, we can take out the barbecue grill and start operating it immediately!
As for Secretary Wang, it won't be too late to come over later.
For more than an hour, Chai Yan went shopping frantically in the market. Not only did he buy silver charcoal and various seasonings, but he also purchased a variety of rich ingredients. Let’s put it this way, as long as he thinks it can be grilled and eaten,
Chai Yan didn’t even let go!
After purchasing, Chai Yan saw that it was still early, so he went to Xiaoji Iron Furnace.
Xiao Ji and his son were busy. Seeing Chai Yan arrive, Blacksmith Xiao's son immediately put down what he was doing and came over and said, "Sir, you're just in time, the barbecue grill is ready."
"Oh? So fast!" Chai Yan laughed.
Blacksmith Xiao's son immediately moved out the barbecue grill and displayed it in front of Chai Yan.
Chai Yan checked it carefully and found that everything was very good and consistent with what he thought. He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, very good, I like it very much!"
Seeing that Chai Yan was satisfied, Blacksmith Xiao's son looked very happy and took the opportunity to praise his father's blacksmithing skills.
Chai Yan put away the barbecue grill and was about to leave when Blacksmith Xiao suddenly stopped him and said to his son: "Have you forgotten? There are still things that I haven't brought to the young master!"
Blacksmith Xiao's son suddenly remembered, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot. Master, wait a moment, I will go get it right away!"
With that said, Blacksmith Xiao's son ran into the house.
Chai Yan wanted to take advantage of this gap to have a casual chat with Blacksmith Xiao, but Blacksmith Xiao was completely focused on the process of blacksmithing and quenching. Chai Yan wanted to say something, but in the end he restrained himself and kept his mouth shut.
Fortunately, Blacksmith Xiao's son came out in time to resolve the awkward situation.
"Sir, take this!"
Blacksmith Xiao's son handed a straight iron stick to Chai Yan.
Chai Yan took it and looked at it, and immediately laughed: "You have even done this..."
"Sir, didn't you say last time that you should put the meat on bamboo skewers and grill it on the rack? My father said that the bamboo skewers will be burned if used for a long time, so I made these iron skewers. Sir, you can
Take a look, is it enough?"
Chai Yan visually inspected the iron sticks in his hand. There were about twenty or thirty sticks. Each stick was as thick as a sweater needle and slightly longer than his forearm.
"Enough, definitely enough!" Chai Yan was particularly satisfied, thinking that this would save him the trouble of peeling bamboo sticks.
"Uncle, thank you so much!" Chai Yan thanked him happily, thinking to himself that the blacksmith uncle looked rude on the outside, but he didn't expect that he was actually a careful person.
Blacksmith Xiao glanced at Chai Yan, lowered his head and said while striking: "Young master, you're welcome, these are some extra iron materials. Instead of throwing them away, it's better to use them."
After saying that, Blacksmith Xiao didn't look at Chai Yan again and continued to work attentively.

Yaozhou City Government Office, in the side hall where guests are received.
Liu Jian, dressed in royal attire, was questioning Lang Xiong about the death of Han Jian.
"Zhifu Lang, tell me, how do you do things?" Liu Jian said displeased: "I haven't even interrogated Han Jian yet, and you actually let him die in vain!"
Lang Xiong bowed and stood in front of Liu Jian, bowed his head and blamed himself: "Your Highness, please calm down. It's because I'm a lowly official who didn't do his job well. Please punish me!"
Liu Jian sighed helplessly and scolded: "Everyone is already dead! What's the point of punishing you again? That's all, this Hanjian has killed countless people, so it deserves to be considered worthy of death!"
If Nian Zai Lang Xiong hadn't helped him circle Moon Island to build a villa, Liu Jian would have punished him for his perverse temper!
Then, Liu Jian slapped the table angrily and said with a straight face: "It's all that stupid Tian Qi, and it doesn't matter what he does..."
Lang Xiong did not dare to say anything, and continued to bow his head and bow his hands in salute.
