CH 58.1

"Brother Zhang, it's a rare guest~ you can still remember Jiu Niang."

Zhang Fangyuan raised his eyes and glanced at the beautiful woman twisting her waist like a water snake, and let go of his embraced hands, and didn't deal with her much. He just said: "I bring you a good thing."

Jiu Niang showed a look of surprise, but she still smiled and stepped forward: ""I don't know what Brother Zhang is going to give me."

Zhang Fangyuan didn't say much, he took out a bottle of fragrance dew from his girdle and handed it over.

She originally felt suspicious that Zhang Fangyuan would come to find her alone, and now he gave her a  bottle of fragrance dew again, Jiu Niang was a little confused about what was going on with this person.

She was holding a small fragrance dew bottle with her jade fingers, the lid hadn’t been opened, and she could  faintly smell the fragrance of roses. Women always loved fragrance, let alone women who were sensual.

But for a while, Jiu Niang, who had seen a lot of worldly things, couldn 't put it down because of the scent of fragrance dew in her hand.

She looked back and forth carefully, not to mention looking at all the incenses, and she had used all the good incenses in the city, so she didn't know the source of this fragrance dew.

"Sure enough, the gift from Brother Zhang is a good gift, but I don't know why Brother Zhang is so kind-hearted." After talking, Jiu Niang stuck her body on Zhang Fangyuan: "How do you want Jiu Niang to repay? Promise with my body?"

Zhang Fangyuan pulled Jiu Niang away and said: "Come on, don't do this with me. If someone looks for fragrance dew or asks about the origin of this fragrance dew, you should know how to say it."

Jiu Niang's brows moved slightly: " I thought you would give it to Jiu Niang alone, but it turns out Brother Zhang wants to start a spice business."

"It’s just doing things for others. This bottle of fragrance dew will be given to you as a reward." After saying that, Zhang Fangyuan didn't stay any longer: "I leave."

Walking to the door, Zhang Fangyuan ran into An San'er who was in a panic.

"When did Brother Zhang come, why did no one call me, just let Brother Zhang to wait."

An San'er restrained his arrogance, and changed into his usual hippie smile.

"I didn't come to look for you."

As soon as Zhang Fangyuan finished speaking, Jiu Niang leaned over the railing in the distance: "Brother Zhang came to look for me."

An San'er was a little surprised, but he didn't say much, he just grinned and came closer to Zhang Fangyuan, and whispered: "Brother Zhang, do you want to get that thing back?"

Zhang Fangyuan waved his hand, not to mention that the one at home hadn’t been used up, and it would be difficult to take more back now.

An San’er responded with a smile, and wanted to send Zhang Fangyuan out, but then he remembered the things that annoyed him earlier, and said, "Brother Zhang, do you know a man named Ao Er?"

"Huh?"

"Last night he came to drink flowers wine in the building. When he was drunk, no one noticed and he fell asleep under the table. I wanted to wake him up when I was cleaning this morning and let him go out. That kid was drunk and refused to get up."

Zhang Fangyuan said: "Ask someone to call his family to pick him up, he's just an ordinary ruffian, and you only need to throw him out of the building. Do you still need to ask me?"

"The key is that the kid said he knew Brother Zhang, and he's your younger brother."

Zhang Fangyuan frowned, he followed An San'er to the main hall, and looked at the drunk man lying on the ground, there were always such people in this kind of place, Zhang Fangyuan had long been used to it.

"Hey, it's time to wake up."

Zhang Fangyuan went over and kicked the sleeping man on the ground: "Where are you from?"

The man muttered: "I’m Zhang Fangyuan's younger brother, you dare to disturb my good sleep."

As soon as the words fell, a basin of cold water from the well poured down on the back of his head, and the drunken man suddenly shuddered, and his body that was stuck to the floor like a mangy dog​​immediately bounced up, sitting on the ground and screaming that it was raining. It took a while for his eyes became clear, and he shrank back in fright when he saw the fierce and tall man in front of him.

Seeing this, Jiu Niang couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

"Who are you? When did you become my younger brother?"

The man realized that the real master he was shouting was coming. Seeing the people in Yunliang Pavilion staring at him, he quickly crawled over and hugged Zhang Fangyuan's legs: "Brother Zhang, it’s me, I'm Ao Er in the village. People in the village used to call me Goudan’er."

Zhang Fangyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the man's face, which was slightly familiar. It took him for a while to recognize the man next to him. He said: "It seems to be from the same village as me."

An San'er said: "Since you are from the same village as Brother Zhang, that's all for today."

Zhang Fangyuan broke free from the man hands: "Get out of here, go back and don’t hang around here."

"Yes." The man crawed to stand up, jumped up and went out as soon as he was released.

Seeing this, Zhang Fangyuan said: "Then I'll be back too."

Jiu Niang walked to the door, and said coquettishly to the man with stalwart back: "Brother Zhang will come again next time~"

Ao Er who ran away heard the Hua Kui’s voice, he could 't help but look back, feeling quite envious.

Zhang Fangyuan went back to guard the stall all afternoon, and then waited for someone to come to ask for the goods.

There was no business in the later period, he closed the stall early, went to the material shop in the city, he bought some small jars of soy sauce and vinegar at a low price, and put them back in the tea shed. One was to use it at home, and the other was for the tea shed. These seasonings were often bought by nearby villagers, if you bought some and put it in the tea shed, the villagers could buy them directly in their tea sheds, so as to save a trip to the city for such a trivial matter.

In addition, he also went to the wine shop to discuss business, and took the wine back to the tea shed to store, just like the soy sauce. It was easier to talk about ordering wine than ordering sauces. First, he often drank and knew many type of wine, the expensive ones and cheap ones, and good ones.
