Plane Supermarket

Chapter 117

Sarah, who was hurt by Ye Zhou's reaction, made up her mind that she would never turn into a bat in front of Ye Zhou again in this life.

Ye Zhou could only coax Sarah after she transformed back.

After all, he himself knew that his reaction just now would definitely not make people feel good.

But he has lived to such an age, and he has never seen a bat as big as Sarah. The little bat is cute, and it is so big that it is really not cute.

"Do you want to eat chili? I'll get you a bag." Until this time, Ye Zhou regretted that he didn't know more about Sarah's preferences. "Or should I play backgammon with you?"

Sarah stood there, lowered her eyes, and said lonely: "No, I know I'm ugly and scary."

Ye Zhou quickly said, "It's not ugly, what's so ugly? It's just a little...a little big."

Sarah looked up at Ye Zhou: "Then I will become a bat, you hug me."

"..."

Ye Zhou gritted his teeth cruelly: "Okay, you change, I'm sure I won't even blink."

Regardless of whether this sentence is true or not, Sarah's expression softened immediately, and she smiled at Ye Zhou: "No need, boss, I have always known."

Ye Zhou was a little confused again, he didn't understand what Sarah was saying, so he asked, "What do you know?"

Sarah: "I know you're afraid of big bats."

Ye Zhou: "..."

I haven't seen a big bat on the way, how do you know?

But Sarah didn't continue to say: "Why don't I go find him at night, anyway, at night, no one looks up to the sky."

Although as a bat, she was a bit scary, but in this place with no lights and dim candles, as long as it was night, no one would notice her existence.

"Then it's hard work for you." Ye Zhou, "Observe him, but don't go to see him directly."

"I just want to know if he came to me, and looking at him, he doesn't look like a slave."

There are many things that people can hide, but temperament is difficult to hide. It is something in the bones. If you want to hide or get rid of it, you need to change the surrounding environment and let time change.

The other party followed Wei Shang, bowed his head and wore coarse clothes, but even so, he was still more like a "master" than Wei Shang.

If such a person is really a slave, Ye Zhou will doubt his own vision.

After the two made an agreement, Sarah went outside to get a bag of turkey noodles to cook.

After eating, Sarah was ready to go.

Linzi at night is like a dead city. Many people used money to buy food, but did not buy lamp oil.

It is probably because I am used to being in the dark at night, so occasionally people's voices and walking sounds can be heard in the house, but I can't see the fire.

Sarah went out from behind, turned into a bat and flew to the roof, and then flew towards the post shop where Wei Shang stayed.

The post shop was full of businessmen from all over the world. It was the first time for the post shop owner to welcome so many guests, and he was so busy that he even hired more than a dozen guys. Just like the boss, the shopkeepers kept shuttling in the post shop.

For the people, there is nothing else to do at night except sleep.

But in post shops where there is no shortage of lamp oil, merchants still sit in the lobby drinking and eating small dishes, chatting about their knowledge of selling goods.

——As for the descendants of the aristocratic families and the powerful envoys they brought, they have already gone to live in the mansion of Chen Guogong's aristocratic family, and they will not be crowded with them in the post shop.

"I went back to the Kingdom of Wei. I don't need to ask someone to sell the things. They were sold out as soon as I arrived in the capital." people come to me."

Other businessmen echoed: "How did those rich and powerful men think of me in the past? They thought I was a bug! Now it's a joy to see those old men vying to give me money! This is really a joy!"

"Come on! Eat and drink!"

"The big white rabbit toffee is still monopolized by Zhao Shang."

Zhao Shang stood up proudly, bowed to the crowd and said, "Concession and concession."

"However, I see that the supermarket not only has food, why doesn't the boss sell other things?" Someone put down his wine glass and said regretfully, "I wanted to go to the other side to have a look, but I was caught by the shopkeeper when I passed by." The cold-faced gentleman stopped him."

"I asked, but the boss only said that they don't sell anything except food and drinks, and didn't tell me the reason."

"He bought so many things and built such a big house, why didn't he sell it? Isn't he afraid of losing money?"

"You don't know how much he spent on collecting things, how do you know that he will lose money?"

"Perhaps the jelly toffee was made by his servants."

The merchants guessed where Ye Zhou's goods came from, but soon began to guess where Ye Zhou came from.

"Listen to his accent and look at his appearance, he doesn't look like Chen."

"It must not be the Chen people. How can the Chen people have such a demeanor."

In the current post station, except for foreign businessmen, they are the buddies. No one will refute them.

"I look like us Wei people, but the accent is not the same."

"You say you look like Wei people? I also say you look like us Zheng people!"

"Nonsense, the people of Zheng are notoriously ugly. Among all countries, the people of Zheng are the ugliest, with big and thick lips. When your king married his bride, he said that there are no beauties in Zheng."

"But speaking of it, when I came to Zizi this time, I found that the people's lives are better than before. They can afford the things I brought from Zhao."

"That's right, every time I came here before, I could only sell the goods to aristocratic families, and the common people couldn't afford them."

"This is really new."

"Speaking of which, I have something to do." The blue-clothed businessman said mysteriously, "I heard people say that now Chen Guoxiangguo is the owner of the supermarket."

Everyone was speechless and exclaimed: "A businessman is a prime minister?!"

"It's really unheard of!"

"I think Marquis Chen has a heart!" Someone suddenly stood up and said with a look of displeasure, "It is said that we businessmen don't have a family and a country in our hearts, but you should ask yourself, have you ever been a go-between for your own monarch and heard the news? But Ruoshi In human terms, after returning to the country, you will be rewarded by high officials and nobles, no matter how bad you are, you can get a reward."

"What about us? There are many crises in the world, and if we are not careful, our lives will be lost, but if we listen to the news and go back to the country, what can we get? The monarchs of various countries say that we merchants have no country, but they want to use us again. No benefit!"

The blue-clothed businessman: "I see, Marquis Chen is pretty good, with such a mind, why worry about not being able to accomplish anything!"

The merchants were silent for a moment, and finally said: "I used to think that Marquis Chen was weak, but I didn't expect that I underestimated people."

"Just like this, Chen Hou is better than his father."

"Better than his grandfather!"

After the merchants drank, Zhao Shang approached the merchant in blue and invited him to his room. As soon as he entered, he asked, "Brother Wei, do you want to stay in Chen Guo?"

The merchant in blue, Wei Shang narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Shang sighed and said, "Brother Wei, don't lie to me. If I want to harm you, I won't invite you here."

Wei Shang didn't hide it either: "I do have that intention."

"Although Chen Guo is small, the monarch has a heart. What we businessmen are most afraid of is the powerful. If the powerful speak, we can't do anything. We can only kill at the neck."

"Although I love money, I also love life. What's more, if I stay in Chen Guo, I may not be unable to make money."

Zhao Shang: "Brother Wei has a vision."

Wei Shang said again: "I met a man on the way here."

"This is the man who advised me to stay in Chen Guo." Wei Shang sat on the chair with a smile on his face, "That man was worse than a slave at that time, his clothes were torn and his burden was lost, he only said that he was a soldier People, come to Linzi."

Zhao Shang became interested: "Oh? Where is this person?"

Wei Shang: "It's in the stable, I took him in, but he doesn't want to be supported by me, he must work with me, and he doesn't want me to give him a room, and he only sleeps in the stable with other servants."

Wei Shang said with a smile: "This man has a bit of backbone, I think he will be able to achieve great things in the future."

Zhao Shang was even more curious: "Then why is he still by your side when he came to Linzi?"

Wei Shang thought of something interesting, he waved his hand: "This man likes to play charades, he said that if he has talent, he will be discovered, if he has no talent, he will continue to farm in his hometown."

Zhao Shang felt that this person had some brain problems, but he still wanted to say: "It seems that this person is really talented, so he can be so confident."

Wei Shang nodded: "He said that I treat him well and don't expect repayment for his kindness, so he gave me an idea so that I can stay in Chen Guo for a long time."

Zhao Shang wanted to continue asking, but Wei Shang found that he had slipped his tongue. He stood up and cupped his hands at Zhao Shang: "It's late at night, brother Zhao is resting, I'm going back to my room first."

After Wei Shang finished speaking, he ignored Zhao Shang's persuasion and quickly left the room.

The Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Chen are somewhat similar in that they are both small and weak countries, but they are stronger than the Kingdom of Chen in one respect, that is, the land is barren.

Wei Shang thought it was funny when he thought about it. From some point on, the barren land became a strong place.

The land of Wei State is barren and the people are poor, but because of this, no big country has the idea of ​​joining Wei State, but Wei State is also fleeing Wei State, they would rather go to other countries, even if the language is not good, and the customs are different, they are not willing to go to Wei State again. Be a guard.

But what made Wei Shang most distressed was not the poverty of Wei State, but the monarch of Wei State.

The king of Wei is a fool—he is a good man who is weaker than Marquis Chen. He has been bullied since he ascended the throne, bullied by his family, and bullied by his clan. After receiving the letter from the other party crying for poverty, he actually believed it. Not only did he believe it, but he also made the other party not have to pay tribute for the next three years.

Therefore, the capital of Weiguo, which is directly in charge of Weihou, is actually the poorest city.

Wei Shang felt that the state of Wei was about to perish, and this monarch would not be a monarch for long.

His last sliver of affection for Weiguo dissipated, and he decided to leave Weiguo and no longer be a Weishang.

Originally, he was still thinking about which country he was going to, but he picked up a man on the road before he thought about it. At first he thought that this man was a slave who escaped from some unknown family. It was dirt, and the exposed skin was dirty and black, and he walked on the road with bare feet.

But soon he discovered that this man was by no means a slave, or even a commoner.

Although he has an ordinary face, he is by no means ordinary. He speaks in an orderly manner and knows the situation in various countries. He is obviously very young, but he is more knowledgeable than many old people.

However, he also said that he had never left the place where he was born, and he only learned about various countries from the mouths of businessmen and scholars.

This made Wei Shang have to value him, and after a long time, he asked this person which country would be better to go to if he wanted to leave Wei country.

This person told him without hesitation: "Chen Guo, Chen Guo will be strong within ten years!"

Wei Shang didn't quite understand: "Chen Guo is weak and small. Although there is a supermarket now, it is just a businessman."

"Regardless of Lu Guo and Zhao Guo, if they really want to deal with Chen Guo, Chen Guo will have no power to fight back."

The man smiled and said: "Why fight back? Chen Guo is caught between the two powers. Others think it is difficult, but I think it is not a bad thing, but an opportunity. Since Chen Guo is weak, he must borrow from the strong to become stronger. In the past, the two countries of Zhao and Lu Ask him for food, and he agrees to everything, which is why we are in the current situation."

"What if he only wants one country?"

Wei Shang shook his head: "If you only respond to Zhao Guo, Lu Guo will be angry. Lu can't beat Zhao, but he can beat Chen."

This person: "No, sir, think about it, you are Zhao Gong, and Chen Guo paid tribute to you, but at this time Lu Guo went to fight, if Lu defeated Chen Guo, Chen Guo's food, and you share?"

Wei Shang was taken aback.

This person also said: "To survive in a small country, what you need is to have both ways and resources. If you rely on yourself, let alone ten years, it may not be strong in a hundred years."

"But in my opinion, Marquis Chen has ambitions, and there are experts around him to help him. It's not that Chen Guo can't be strong."

Wei Shang couldn't help asking: "Then you said Chen Guo will be strong within ten years?"

This person laughed loudly: "With me, I will be strong within ten years!"

Although this person's words were arrogant, Wei Shang didn't feel that he was exaggerating.

He was persuaded by this man's words and decided to stay in Chen Guo. If Chen Guo can be strong, then he made the right bet.

If not, he can go to other countries ten years later.

Anyway, he has already decided to leave his home country, and it doesn't make much difference to him which country he goes to.

Leaving Zhao Shang's room, Wei Shang was about to go to the stables to take a look. He was afraid that he might have said something wrong just now, so it would be better to ask the scholar, lest he make a mistake and there is no way to make up for it.

The inn was quiet at this time, and the guys all went to rest. Except for the moonlight, there was no light source that could illuminate it. Wei Shang walked carefully into the yard, taking extra care when stepping his legs, lest he would be tripped by stones.

The stables are leaking everywhere, the horses are on one side, and the servants are sleeping on the other side, and they don't have quilts, so sleeping here is only a little more comfortable than sleeping directly on the ground.

But smelling the smell of horses, this is not so comfortable.

Wei Shang was about to call the scholars to come out, when he turned his head, he suddenly found a dark shadow on the shed of the stable.

His eyes were not very good, but his intuition told him that the black shadow was a living thing.

Wei Shang squinted his eyes and looked over, just when he thought that the thing might be a big bird or something else, the black shadow suddenly moved.

A pair of huge "wings" spread out, and Wei Shang took a step back in fright, and sat down on the ground.

Hey, it's the first time he's seen such a big bat at such a big age!

It's a ghost!Such a big bat must be fine!

Wei Shang's whole body was trembling, he always felt that the bat was looking at him, the pair of crimson pupils bumped into his eyes, it made his neck seem to be pinched by hands, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

But soon, the bat flew away.

Before leaving, she seemed to still look at him, as if mocking him.

Wei Shang: "..."

"I think he has something." Sarah sat on the table and said while chewing chili peppers, "I heard him tell those who slept in the stables that there must be a tall man in Chen Guo, and there will be one soon Scholars from all over the world who could not get ahead rushed to Chen Guolai."

Sarah didn't quite understand: "Can't they be officials in their own country? The country of Chen is so small, what are they doing in the country of Chen?"

Ye Zhou explained to her: "They don't have a way to rise in their own country. Scholars who don't want to be officials are all from rich and powerful families. For more low-level scholars, just studying will cost a lot of money. Little Rich's family is likely to be dragged down because of a scholar."

"Only by being an official can they continue to maintain their current life and have a better life."

"What's more, most of the scholars have some ideals, such as making a weak country strong, and making a small one big, and then becoming famous all over the world."

"There is no shortage of scholars in a big country. The children trained by the aristocratic family are enough. What's more, compared with the common people, the children of the aristocratic family are more trustworthy."

Sarah: "Why, don't those aristocratic families often confront their kings?"

Ye Zhou said with a smile: "But the power and wealth of the aristocratic family come from the royal power. They will have nothing when they leave the mother country, unless they abandon their surnames and ancestors, but once they do so, they will be scolded by the world. It is likely that their children will never be reused again."

"Although the family is opposed to the monarch, and even many monarchs will deal with the family, but they are inseparable, it is the relationship between lips and teeth."

Sarah understood: "Because only the children of the family will never betray the king?"

Ye Zhou shook his head: "They won't leave their home country."

"Not leaving means that if they are not good for the country, it will not be good for them."

"But." Ye Zhou took a sip of water, "What if the benefits and benefits are big enough? There will be no fewer traitors in any era."

"And once they betray, it will be much stronger than the betrayal of an ordinary scholar official."

Sarah now figured it out: "That person's name is Zhao Xue, and he seems to be from the state of Lu, but even though he is from the state of Lu, he lives with his mother in the territory of the state of Chen. He originally wanted to go to the capital of the state of Lu, but he finally came. Linzi."

Ye Zhou nodded: "I will go to him tomorrow."

Sarah: "You go in person? Why don't you let him come to you."

"He wants to come to Chen Guo to find a job, so he should come by himself." Sarah was not very happy, "You go? Who is he?"

Ye Zhou was amused by Sarah's attitude: "This time is different from our time."

"Okay, let's see if you want to leave with that little thing. We'll leave when you pack up." Ye Zhou said, "Go back and go to bed early."

Sarah nodded: "By the way, where did Zou Ming go?"

Ye Zhou: "I have something for him to do."

Sarah frowned: "What's the matter?"

She didn't finish the question—is there anything he can do that I can't?

Ye Zhou: "A small thing."

Ye Zhou rubbed the Qingming point: "I'm a little tired."

When Ye Zhou said that she was tired, Sarah didn't ask any more questions. She said empathetically, "I have nothing to take away. Let's go back."

With that, she put on her cloak and hat.

Although she went out every time at night, in order not to scare people, she would still be fully armed.

Sarah didn't care if she would scare people, let alone if she would scare people to death, but she knew that Ye Zhou cared, so even if Ye Zhou didn't say anything, she did everything she should do.

Ye Zhou stood up, turned off the computer, and checked the places in the supermarket that might have potential safety hazards. After confirming that everything was correct, he left the supermarket with Sarah Cao'er and the others.

·

Zou Ming climbed over the wall and entered a residence in the east of the city. As soon as he entered, he saw a man kneeling on the porch looking at him.

It seemed that he knew that Zou Ming would come, the other party nodded to Zou Ming, and he smiled at Zou Ming: "Your Majesty has worked hard."

Zou Ming was not surprised either. He walked towards the man and knelt down opposite the man.

Neither of them spoke. The man picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zou Ming. In front of them was a pastry made of glutinous rice, one piece for each of them. They didn't know whether to say delicate or stingy.

Zou Ming: "Your son is asleep?"

The man, who is Baiyu's nanny, nodded: "The road is bumpy, he goes to bed early recently."

Zou Ming: "Ye... The boss asked me to bring you a sentence, he will prepare what you want, can you give what he wants?"

Brother Nai pondered for a moment: "As long as I see something, the agreement between me and him will naturally count, and I will pay for everything."

Brother Nai suddenly asked: "Is the owner of the supermarket not very old?"

Zou Ming looked at Brother Nai.

Brother Nai waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I'm different from Baiyu."

Mentioning Baiyu, Zou Ming frowned slowly.

Brother Nai immediately said: "He definitely doesn't have that kind of thoughts towards the boss. He just admires beauties, but he never has the idea of ​​taking them for himself. Don't worry about him, he is a child of the Bai family. If you really act absurdly, I don't need you, Bai." The family will teach themselves."

Zou Ming: "I'll see our boss later, I hope you will go to see him, so he won't have to go."

Brother Nai smiled wryly and said: "I'm afraid it won't work. Although I am his brother Nai, I am nothing more than a slave after all."

Zou Ming: "I don't think you look like a slave."

Brother Nai didn't speak, he smiled: "The current Bai family can't do it anymore. You have a trusted family, and the Bai family not only has no progress, but also lost three cities. Talented children will not be picked up. Otherwise, where will it be my turn?" The fish come out together?"

Zou Ming didn't answer the conversation, he was not interested in the intrigue among these aristocratic families, he just said: "Boss is waiting for your good news."

He looked into Brother Nai's eyes: "Don't let him down."

It was the first time that Brother Nai was stared at by Zou Ming, but before he could be overwhelmed by Zou Ming's gaze, he shivered in fright.

The eyes staring at him at this moment did not look like human eyes.

More like a beast, a lion or a tiger.

In front of such a beast, he has no power to resist, and if the other party is determined to kill him, he even has nowhere to run.

Brother Nai lowered his head and said softly: "Please don't worry, sir, I will never break my promise. If I break my promise, I will let you take the head of the item."

He heard the other party say "hmm".

The heart I was carrying was finally let go.
