Chapter seven hundred and sixty nine interesting restaurants
Chapter 769: An interesting wine shop
In a secluded house.
In the study, Gu Zhengbang sat by the window and read quietly. It was raining continuously outside, and he didn't know when the rain would stop.
Perhaps he was tired of reading, so Gu Zhengbang put down his book, stretched his body a little, and turned to look out the window.
"Sir, it's me..."
At this time, Mo Di's voice came from outside the study.
Gu Zhengbang moved his eyes to look at the door and said, "Come in..."
With a "creak" sound, the study door was pushed open from the outside, and then Mo Di stepped into the study.
"Sir!" Mo Di bowed and held his hands in hand.
Gu Zhengbang said: "Sit down."
Mo Di turned around and closed the door gently, walked to the chair beside the table and sat down, saying: "Sir, my subordinate just went to the county government office to ask Situ Zhou, and he said that Chai Yan went to Jinyan Tower...
"
"What are you doing at Jinyan Tower?" Gu Zhengbang asked in confusion.
Mo Di immediately explained: "Sir, today is the eighteenth birthday party of Mr. An Huai, the grandson of Elder Hanuo of the Youlong Clan. They have booked the entire Golden Banquet Building for the banquet. The scene is very lively. I heard that at noon, the Golden Banquet will
The street downstairs is completely blocked!"
Just now, Gu Zhengbang asked Mo Di to go to the county government office. He wanted to talk to Chai Yan and find out what happened outside recently.
Gu Zhengbang was immediately relieved, then smiled helplessly, shook his head and said: "Look at me, I eat and sleep all day without leaving the house, and the news is so blocked..."
Mo Di said: "Sir, you are right to rest and rest these days. No, your complexion is much better."
Gu Zhengbang smiled slightly and asked again: "Chai Yan went to Jinyan Tower, why didn't Situ Zhou go?"
"Situ Zhou said... he doesn't want to go..." Mo Di said.
Gu Zhengbang nodded slowly and expressed his understanding: "First it was Su Jushiyong, and then his son Su Ruicongpa. It's no wonder that Situ Zhou didn't go, it's human nature..."
As soon as he mentioned Su Jushi supporting his father and son, Mo Di's expression immediately turned serious: "Sir, Situ Zhou just said something to his subordinates..."
"What's the matter?" Gu Zhengbang's expression immediately became serious.
Mo Di said: "Two days ago, Su Jushiyong and his son suddenly fell unconscious in prison..."
Mo Di recounted what he heard from Situ Zhou word for word, and Gu Zhengbang nodded slowly while listening.
After Mo Di finished speaking, Gu Zhengbang said: "They are cutting the grass and roots to avoid future troubles!"
Mo Di was a little confused and asked: "But sir, if we want to eliminate the root cause, why not directly poison Su Jushiyong and his son, but make them unconscious?"
Gu Zhengbang looked calm and said: "Because they want Su Jushiyong and his son to die in prison, so that other tribesmen will think that Situ Zhou is avenging his private revenge!"
"Sir, what benefits can they get from doing this?" Mo Di asked.
Gu Zhengbang looked out the window and thought for a moment, then said: "That elder Hanuo held a birthday party for his grandson with great fanfare. On the one hand, it was to build momentum, and on the other hand, he was also testing the clan members..."
"Testing?" Mo Di was puzzled: "What are you testing?"
Gu Zhengbang looked at Mo Di and said seriously: "In my opinion, if nothing happens, the Youlong Clan will soon have the youngest clan leader in history!"
"Sir, you are referring to Hanuo's grandson, An Huai?" Mo Di was quite surprised: "But he has just turned eighteen. Can the rest of the Youlong Clan agree?"
Gu Zhengbang smiled faintly and said: "Didn't you just say that today's banquet was very crowded and lively... So it seems that the matter has probably been settled!"
After Mo Di thought for a moment, he understood that the test the Lord was talking about was to observe the attitudes of various forces through this birthday party.
Gu Zhengbang picked up the tea bowl in front of him and took a sip of tea, and then said: "You can go back later and tell Chai Yan to come over when he has time."
"Yes, sir." Mo Di immediately agreed.
Then, Mo Di left the study, while Gu Zhengbang continued reading with the book in his hands.

Jinyan Tower, inside the theater.
After verifying that the answers from Chai Yan and An Huai were correct, the host began to read the next question.
The host looked at the people at the tables An Huai and Chai Yan with a smile, and then said in a leisurely manner: "About this time last year, I went to Yaozhou City to meet my friends, and my friends invited me to an interesting restaurant.
I went to a wine shop to drink. As for the wine there, it was actually pretty average. It tasted like it had been watered down..."
Everyone in the hall didn't understand why Liren suddenly talked about going to Yaozhou, and everyone had questions.
Then, the person listening changed the topic and said: "However, the owner of that wine shop is very good at business. Everyone will definitely find it very interesting if he tells you..."
"What's an interesting method?" someone in the audience asked.
"It's just selling wine, how many tricks can there be?" There was also a voice of being quilted.
The host raised a hand and pressed it in the direction of the two voices, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, the most interesting thing about this wine shop is the third question..."
Upon hearing this, An Huai and Bai Yucheng immediately pricked up their ears and cheered up, waiting for the gift man to continue.
Chai Yan's table of four people also looked at the stage with curiosity.
The host continued: "The wine in that wine shop usually sells for twenty cents a bottle, but in order to sell more wine, the owner of the wine shop stipulated that two empty bottles can be exchanged for a new bottle of wine, or four can be used.
The cork can also be exchanged for a new bottle of wine..."
As soon as this was said, the people in the audience started talking in low voices. It could be seen from the expressions on most people's faces that they all found this very interesting.
Guan Maochun was also one of them, and he couldn't help but ask Chai Yan: "Sir, is there really such a wine shop in Yaozhou City?"
Chai Yan shook his head and replied with a smile: "I don't know."
Cheng Jiu interjected: "Are you stupid? It's just a question, do you still take it seriously?"
Yuan Yuan stopped him and said, "Don't talk yet. Listen to the question..."
After the hall became quieter, the ceremony continued: "Excuse me, if you only have one hundred pennies on hand, how many bottles can you drink at most if you go to that wine shop?"
Immediately afterwards, the host recited the question twice, then lit a new incense in the incense burner, looked at the audience and said: "Master Chai, Mr. An Huai, the time limit for this question is still one stick of incense.
Please give the answer sheet to me before you finish!"
Facing Li Ren's words, Chai Yan smiled and nodded.
But An Huai turned to look at Bai Yucheng and said, "Mr. Bai, doesn't your wife's cousin own a restaurant? You must not answer this question wrong!"
"Yes, sir!" Bai Yucheng said yes, but he was speechless in his heart, thinking that there is no inevitable connection between the two!
Then, An Huai looked at the other two stewards and said, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Think about it quickly!"
"Oh..." The two stewards quickly lowered their heads and began to calculate.
An Huai was not idle either. He drew a wine bottle on the white paper with a pen and whispered to himself: "Twenty cents per bottle. If I have a hundred cents, I can buy five bottles..."
