Chapter 218 The strange man who moves his hands and feet
So Wu Zhi discussed with Pan Jinlian that he wanted to go to Mengzhou and find a restaurant for a big meal.
Then find a room to rest for the night.
After you have enough drinks and dry food, it won’t be too late to hit the road the next day.
Pan Jinlian did not refute Wu Zhi's suggestion.
Because of the long days of driving and horseback riding, she was already exhausted.
If you can find a restaurant in Mengzhou City to have a big meal and take a rest one night to take a shower.
That was quite a relief for her.
When Wu Zhi and Pan Jinlian drove their carriage to Mengzhou City.
It was already completely dark.
The two of them were very hungry and did not search much.
I just chose the largest restaurant next to an intersection and walked in.
It's really a lively place here.
The entire restaurant is about three stories high, and almost every floor is filled with diners who come to taste the delicious food.
Right in front of each floor, there is a small stage.
Occasionally, there will be some artists who make a living singing on the small stage and sing one or two songs for the diners.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Wu and Zhi dressed very normally during this trip.
However, after they found a seat by the window and sat down, when they ordered the dishes, they did not match their attire at that time.
A large table was laid out with chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, snacks and all kinds of drinks.
Just like this, Wu Zhi still thinks it's not enough.
After all, he is now in the status of a nouveau riche.
In addition, along the way, I was very frugal in terms of food and accommodation.
So he wanted to take advantage of this and treat himself well.
Just when Wu Zhi and his wife were eating and their mouths were full of oil, a man in brocade slowly came to Wu Zhi and his wife's table and stopped.
"Two distinguished guests, are you satisfied with the food here?"
When Wu Zhi suddenly heard this, the expression on his face was stunned.
Then, he slowly placed the chopsticks in his hand on the table.
He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.
I saw the man standing opposite, his hair tied with a silver hairpin, and he had a fair face.
Although his appearance was extremely ordinary, his eyes were extremely sharp.
On his chin, there are three short strands of beard.
Dressed in blue satin, the whole person looks extremely wealthy.
Just as Wu Zhi was sizing up the person opposite, the person opposite continued to ask with a smile on his face:
"You two gentlemen, are you not locals?"
Wu Zhi nodded slightly and asked in a tentative tone:
"Is the person in front of me the owner of this restaurant?"
The man in fine clothes nodded, and then pointed to the chair in front of him.
"I wonder if I have the honor to have a drink with you two?"
Wu Zhi saw that the other party was well-dressed and polite, and he was also the owner of this restaurant.
So, he made an invitation gesture to him and motioned for him to sit down.
But who would have thought that as soon as the handsome man sat down, he asked Wu Zhi several questions in succession.
"Dear guest, what do you think of the dishes I cook here?"
“What do you think of my customer flow here?
What do you think of the environment in my restaurant?"
"It's okay, my distinguished guest, I just want to hear your opinion."
Wu Zhi glanced at the handsome man opposite him with some surprise, and couldn't help but thought to himself.
What does this thing mean?
Could it be that you came to me to do a questionnaire survey?
But he saw that the other party was respectful and polite, and at the same time, in his eyes, he was looking forward to his next reply.
So, after he repeatedly looked at the diners in the restaurant and the decoration layout, he nodded at the other party with a satisfied look on his face.
"This restaurant, both in terms of customer flow and decoration layout, is a good place to be harmonious and make money."
After hearing what Wu Zhi said, the man in fine clothes suddenly had a happy smile on his face.
But gradually, the smile on his face became weaker and weaker.
At the end, he also took the wine bottle placed in the middle of the dining table.
He poured himself a full cup and drank it all in one gulp.
There was even more indescribable helplessness in his expression.
After a long time.
The man in fine clothes slowly shook his head, and then sighed again.
"At this moment, my old father is ill at home a hundred miles away."
"In order to cure the disease, I spent all my family wealth."
"To this day, this restaurant is all I have left."
"But when I asked the local wealthy households to sell this building."
"The price they gave me is just like robbery!"
When Wu Zhi heard this, he immediately frowned.
I couldn't help but secretly think to myself, what on earth does this guy want to do when he goes around here?
Moreover, these things all happened to him and had nothing to do with me.
Why are you here to listen to me now?
But just when he was confused, the next sentence of the handsome man revealed his purpose of coming to chat with Wu Zhi.
I saw the man in fine clothes suddenly grabbed Wu Zhi's hands with an extremely excited expression.
At the same time, he stared at Wu Zhi closely with extremely hopeful eyes.
He looked at Wu Zhi and felt his heart tremble.
"Brother, although you are dressed in coarse linen clothes, I can tell from between your brows that you must be a very rich and noble man."
"So you will definitely be able to help me with this favor."
Wu Zhi pulled his hands back from the opponent's hand with some embarrassment.
"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it and don't make any moves."
"Your enthusiastic behavior makes me very embarrassed."
The man in fine clothes smiled coquettishly.
Then, he lowered his voice unconsciously.
Then, he slowly stretched out five fingers towards Wu Zhi.
"Fifty-five thousand taels of silver!"
"As long as this brother can come up with these coins, then my restaurant will be transferred to my brother's name."
It was only at this moment that Wu Zhi finally showed a look of surprise on his face.
At the same time, I also lamented in my heart that the other party's routine was too deep.
Turning it over and around, it turned out that I wanted him to buy this restaurant.
But for Wu Zhi, it is okay to buy a restaurant at this time.
After all, he will build an intelligence network throughout the Song Dynasty in the future.
And this restaurant can be used as a base for that intelligence network.
Because this kind of restaurant receives guests from all walks of life every day.
This is also extremely beneficial for intelligence gathering.
