Water Margin official

Chapter 14 What is the most precious?

After buying Linqing Restaurant, Zhang Zhengdao was in a good mood. Although it was a mess in front of him, it didn't matter. It had to be renovated anyway and it would save the effort of demolition.

The waiter in the shop brought up a large bowl of hangover soup, but he didn't dare to approach Wu Song. He just handed it to Zhang Zhengdao and then helped the shopkeeper go downstairs.

Zhang Zhengdao came to Wu Song with the hangover soup and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, drink the hot soup to make you sweat."

After Wu Song's troubles just now, his drunkenness was actually gone a lot. Seeing Zhang Zhengdao being so attentive, he stopped making trouble, took the hot soup, and drank it all in one breath.

"Happy!"

Wu Song threw the bowl to the ground and broke it into pieces.

Zhang Zhengdao didn't take it seriously. This Wu Er was in his youth, his thoughts were immature, he had no brute force, he was impulsive and irritable, he did things recklessly, and his wine was not good enough. It seemed that he had to use Wu Da to suppress him.
"Brother Wu, where is the eldest brother in the family now? Why don't we find him and have a meal together?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

When Wu Song heard him mention his brother and said that he wanted to have dinner with him, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

He grew up eating food from hundreds of families and depended on his elder brother for survival. When he came back to study, he never thought that he would be a bastard if he invited his elder brother to have a meal at this restaurant.

"I'm going to look for him right now." Wu Song stood up and was about to walk out.

Zhang Zhengdao followed him downstairs, escorted him outside, and said with a smile: "Second Brother Wu, I'm setting up a banquet here, and I'm looking forward to seeing you and your eldest brother."

Wu Song looked back and nodded to him, then strode away.

Returning to the building, the three county government officials who were lying on the long bench were anxious and in pain when they saw Wu Song running away. They only heard a government official shouting hoarsely: "Sue the official, sue the official, we must let the county magistrate today."

My husband came forward and put Wu Er in prison."

The other two government officials also agreed, and the three of them helped each other get up and wanted to go to the county government office to file a complaint.

Zhang Zhengdao stopped in front of them, bowed deeply, and said with a smile: "I am willing to pay compensation for what happened today. You three should calm down your anger first."

Among the three, an older government servant glared angrily: "Second Officer Zhang, you have nothing to do here. Go find your sister Dong and stop messing around here."

Zhang Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, he seemed to be an acquaintance, and then he smiled and said: "Since we all know each other, it's easy to talk. Brother Wu is drunk and hurting others. There is indeed something wrong with him. You three know that he is like this, why do you want to fight with him?"

Have a drink together?"

Another yamen servant said coldly: "It's him who wants to follow."

Zhang Zhengdao continued: "Even if he wants to follow, you don't have to drink this wine. Speaking of which, you also have a responsibility."

"Let's do this. I'm willing to compensate the three of them, each of them a certain amount of money, to find medical drugs. Let's just forget about it." Zhang Zhengdao said his proposal.

The amount of money per person is not small, it is equivalent to half a month's salary of three people.

Seeing the hesitation of the three people, Zhang Zhengdao continued: "I have already bought this restaurant. In the future, whenever three people come to eat here, they will get a 10% discount."

Hearing this, the leader finally nodded in agreement, pressed his waist, sighed, and said: "Okay, for your sake, Erguan Zhang, please spare him this time."<

/p>

"This Wu Er is not a husband. Whenever he is drunk, he acts drunkenly. I will never drink with him again next time." Another person was angry and rubbed his sore back.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "You three, go find medical medicine first. After your injuries are healed, come here to get the money."

"For your sake, let's leave it at that." The three people helped each other and left to find the doctor who treated bruises and injuries.

The old shopkeeper just looked around at the restaurant, and he was full of reluctance, but now that he agreed to sell it, he felt relieved.

He came over and said: "Zhang family officials, when will you give this money to the old man?"

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a while and replied: "One thousand guan is not a small amount. Let's do this. When I'm done with this, you can come with me to Zhang's house to get the money."

The old shopkeeper sighed and said: "It's okay for me. After taking the money, I can go to my relatives and friends. But my nephew Sun San has nowhere to go. I'd like to ask the officials to be merciful and allow him to stay."<

/p>

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Don't worry, old man, I will keep your nephew, the chef, and you, all of them, and not let go of any of them."

"Pay monthly money as usual." Zhang Zhengdao added.

The old shopkeeper was surprised and asked uncertainly: "Is the old man staying too?"

Zhang Zhengdao explained patiently: "If there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, you, old man, stay and continue to help me manage this restaurant."

The old shopkeeper has worked hard all his life, but he really couldn't bear to leave here. The corners of his eyes were moist, and he nodded in agreement.

Zhang Zhengdao asked Sun Sanjiang to clean up and tidy up the upstairs and downstairs, and then sat down to wait for Wu Song.

The sun was setting to the west, and Wu Song was not seen returning.

Sun San had already packed up and piled the broken tables and chairs in the backyard, preparing to call a carpenter to come and rebuild them someday.

Seeing the new shopkeeper, Zhang Zhengdao, sitting outside the restaurant door with a long stool, waiting eagerly for Wu Song's return, Sun San couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Shopkeeper... Shopkeeper, Rong Xiao, please say something, then

As long as Wu Er was drunk, he would hurt people. During this period, I don’t know how many people were injured by him. His eldest brother Wu Da alone was arrested and taken back to the Yamen countless times.”

"Wuda went to the streets to sell some money, and all the money was spent on providing for his brother, plus compensation for medical expenses." Sun San didn't have a good impression of Wu Song. The family was extremely poor, but he drank a lot and had a bad temper.

He is irritable and loses his moral character after drinking. Fortunately, he has a good brother who can clean up the mess for him.

"I haven't come back so late. I think I must not be able to come." Sun San said again.

Zhang Zhengdao still did not move, and smiled and said to Sun San: "San, do you know what is the most precious in this world?"

Sun San thought for a while and replied: "Gold and silver are the most precious treasures."

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head.

Sun San said again: "Then the girls in Goulan are the most valuable. One visit is just half a month's worth of money."

Zhang Zhengdao was stunned when he heard this. He looked up and down at this unattractive shop assistant. He didn't expect that this guy was still a romantic. He couldn't tell, and he was mistaken.

When Sun San saw that he was silent, he asked: "Shopkeeper, what do you think is the most valuable thing in the world?"

"Naturally, reputation is the most valuable. A real man stands between heaven and earth, and every spit is like a nail. A gentleman's word is a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold." Zhang Zhengdao looked at Sun San, and then educated him: "Brother Wu promised me, he will

He will definitely come back, I believe he is a good man who will keep his promise."

"What a gentleman says, and a promise is worth a thousand dollars. My dear brother treats me like this, how dare Wu Er not come!"

Laughter rang out, and not far away, Wu Song strode back.

Behind him was a dwarf carrying a pole, it was Wu Da.
