As a Senhu who has been fighting in the field all year round, as long as he is not left-handed, no matter whether he uses a knife, sword, or spear, he will leave a thick layer of calluses on the tiger's mouth of his right hand.
And what Xiao Chen touched with the corner of his eye was the tiger's mouth on the man's right hand.
Besides, as a steward, he has the most power among all the servants. But just now, when Butler Zhang said "Put it on the table," the two of them didn't say a word. Even if they were mute, they wouldn't say a word.
Maybe both of them happened to be mute.
Even if the people of the Ouyang family cut out the tongues of all the craftsmen and the servants here to keep it secret, how can they explain the calluses on the tiger's mouth?
Xiao Chen was holding a Yishui inkstone, as if he was very satisfied with the quality, with a smile on his face.
The peripheral vision of his eyes kept scanning the faces of the two people, hoping to find some similarities with Ouyang Xiaoke's appearance on their faces.
However, the two of them stepped aside, lowered their heads, and lowered their big cotton hats so that their entire faces could not be seen clearly.
"Looking at the quality alone, it's pretty good." Xiao Chen smiled and put the Yishui Inkstone in his hand back on the table.
"Our Yizhou City, that is, my place, can make such good-looking Yishui inkstones." Hearing Xiao Chen's praise, Butler Zhang said proudly with a smile on his face.
The corner of Xiao Chen's mouth slightly raised, and he stretched his arm forward with a little force. All the neatly arranged Yi Shui inkstones on the table were pushed to the ground without leaving any one behind.
As a "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound came, ten high-quality Yi Shui inkstones fell on the hard bluestone floor, turning into pieces of gravel and scattering all over the ground.
Butler Zhang, who had been smiling just now, immediately turned serious.
The two strong servants stepped forward angrily, as if they were about to take action.
However, Duan Tianming had already taken a step forward and stood in front of Xiao Chen. With a "swish", the saber in his hand was halfway out.
The waiter who brought Xiao Chen and the two here was already so frightened that his face turned blue and his whole body was trembling.
Just now, I was thinking that I might have a considerable amount of income in my pocket today. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, they would be fighting each other.
Butler Zhang raised his hand to block the two servants: "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?"
No matter who the other party is, even if it is a powerful official family in the capital, there are only two of them after all. If they fall out today, I don't mind keeping their heads.
Seeing everyone's nervous look, Xiao Chen picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip. He moved the corner of his mouth a few times and spit out a piece of tea with a "pop" sound.
"Butler Zhang, you really treat me like an outsider. Even if you don't arrange seats, you don't know how many years of old tea you have the nerve to use to entertain guests?" Xiao stared at the fierce-looking Butler Zhang.
Chen took another sip, rinsed his mouth, and spit out all the tea in his mouth on the ground with a "pop" sound.
"The tea is a little stale, but these Yi Shui inkstones are worth a hundred and ten taels of silver outside. The young master just smashed them casually, and I feel a little embarrassed." Butler Zhang put down his arm and took a step forward.
He looked directly at Xiao Chen.
That kind of momentum seemed like Xiao Chen would take action immediately if he didn't give himself a satisfactory explanation.
Xiao Chen didn't seem to see the threatening gaze of the other party. He closed his eyes and shook his neck gently.
"Tianming."
"Here." Duan Tianming put the sword at his waist back into the scabbard and responded loudly.
"Pay one hundred taels of silver to Butler Zhang." Xiao Chen said softly with his eyes closed.
"Yes." With a clean response, Duan Tianming took out two fifty-tael large ingots from his waist and placed them on the table with a "pop" sound.
Putting his hands on the back of the chair, Xiao Chen stood up: "These Yishui inkstones are pretty good in terms of appearance alone. But the people I want to give them to mostly use them, so the appearance is not so good."
Important. I broke these inkstones just to see if the quality of the inkstones can pass the test. Since Butler Zhang does not want me to check the quality of the inkstones, it seems that our business will not work.
.Farewell."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen was about to walk out the door.
Seeing Xiao Chen squandering one hundred taels of silver so casually, and then thinking about the casual tone with which he told himself that he wanted five hundred Yi Shui Inkstones, Butler Zhang would have let this great God of Wealth walk away just like that.
He grabbed the silver on the table and stood in front of Xiao Chen.
This butler is the main person in charge of Ouyang's workshop. Every business transaction is not only related to his status in the Ouyang family, but also to his income.
Although this is the Ouyang family's workshop, he will get more or less benefit from every business deal made by him. It is easy to get a hundred and ten taels of silver from this large order of 500 Yi Shui Inkstones.
thing.
Putting the money in his hand into Duan Tianming's arms, Butler Zhang's face was filled with smiles, and he pointed at Xiao Chen's seat: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Master Xiao. Come on, come on, sit down and listen to me.
Let me explain to you."
The slightly arched body and the flattering expression were completely different from before.
Xiao Chen snorted coldly and sat back in his seat.
He waved to the two servants carrying wooden trays and motioned them to go down. Butler Zhang raised his voice and shouted towards the back hall: "Make tea again, using the tea leaves I usually drink."
After doing all this, he rubbed his hands and sat across from Xiao Chen.
"When doing business, it is natural to inspect the goods first. However, the products in our Ouyang workshop are definitely comparable to the high-quality products outside. Because of this, ordinary customers will place an order after observing the appearance of the goods. Like
The young master just did what he did, breaking ten inkstones at once to inspect the goods. I have never seen it before, so I thought the young master was dissatisfied with the things. So I was a little excited and asked the young master to forgive me."
After saying that, Butler Zhang actually stood up, bowed to Xiao Chen with both hands.
This scene completely stunned the waiter on the side.
Who is this steward? He is the great steward of the Ouyang family, one of the three major families in Yizhou City. Even Master Zhizhou greeted him with a smile. But now, he bowed to Young Master Xiao. It is up to you.
The young master I brought here must have such a distinguished family background.
Thinking that he had unintentionally climbed up to such a powerful young master, the villain's fear just now disappeared, and he grinned, and his face blossomed into a smile.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't argue with you. But I still have to test this guy." Xiao Chen smiled lightly.
"Test, it must be tested." Butler Zhang smiled with wrinkles on his face, bent down to pick up a fragment from the ground, and handed it to Xiao Chen with both hands.
