Long Street in Jinling.
After seeing off the old emperor, Huo Chenan came to Wushuang Winery to discuss the perfume and glass business with Qin Wushuang.
There was no way, Huo Chenan was preparing for a rainy day. If he really went to the capital, he would have to find a trustworthy person to handle the huge business at home, and Qin Wushuang was the best choice.
The two met in obscurity, Huo Chenan helped Wushuang many times, and Wushuang was the kind of person who knew how to repay kindness.
When the two were talking happily, a short and thin man walked into Wushuang Winery. The man had a very distinctive look, a mustache and cock eyes, and looked very much like Captain Jia.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Bring your most expensive wine."
The waiter didn't know this person, and thought that a distinguished guest had arrived, so he hurriedly came forward with a jar of Du Kang and said: "Sir, our wine is all the same price, ten taels per jar."
"Ten taels?" The man was obviously shocked by the price.
The waiter looked at the man suspiciously and said, "Sir, you can't afford it, right?"
The man spat and said, "Don't be so stupid. I just think this wine is too cheap."
The waiter put the wine on the counter and pointed at the wine jar and said proudly, "Sir, why don't you ask around? The most expensive wine in Jinling is our Du Kang. It is a first-class wine in terms of taste and quality. Now the dignitaries in Jinling drink our Du Kang. You are lucky to come. If you catch any master buying goods, we don't have any left."
While the waiter was talking about Du Kang's proud achievements, a tall and fat man walked in.
When this man came in, his fleshy body blocked the door of the shop tightly, and even the sunlight outside could not shine in. The wine shop instantly became three points darker.
"Call your boss!" said the meat mountain in a muffled voice.
The waiter and the other waiter were stunned. He swallowed his saliva and hurried to the second floor to call Qin Wushuang.
When Qin Wushuang came down, the fat man and the thin man had disappeared, and the jar of Du Kang worth ten taels had also disappeared.
The waiter wanted to cry immediately, but Qin Wushuang didn't want to blame him. She just told him to be more careful in the future, but Huo Chenan didn't agree with her approach. He insisted on halving the waiter's monthly salary until he paid off the ten taels.
The waiter had nothing to say about this punishment.
Qin Wushuang didn't understand why Huo Chenan, who was worth tens of thousands of yuan now, was still fussy about ten taels of silver.
Huo Chenan could only explain to her: Kindness doesn't lead troops, and righteousness doesn't raise wealth. It's not that I'm demanding of servants, but the rules can't be broken at will. If your failure to punish encourages the greed of the servants, it's not to forgive him, but to harm him, and I've left him half of his living expenses.
Qin Wushuang nodded. He felt that what Huo Chenan said made sense, and his eyes were full of admiring stars.
…
The thin man held the wine jar, and the fat man held the thin man. The two of them quickly shuttled through the long street.
These two were the famous ruffians in Jinling, unhappy and brainless, nicknamed Tiancan Tudou.
The thin man was unhappy, and the fat man was brainless. The two of them relied on cheating, robbing and stealing to make a living in Jinling.
After running through several streets, the thin man said, "Stop, stop, stop. You are almost shaking me apart."
The fat man put the thin man down panting and said, "Brother, can you run by yourself next time? It's tiring to pretend to be fierce, and I have to carry you to run..."
The thin man rolled his eyes at him and said, "I have to hold the wine, don't you think it's not tiring to hold the wine?"
"Oh." The fat man said aggrievedly.
Then both of them looked at the jar of Du Kang wine worth ten taels.
"Brother, you think such expensive wine must taste good." The fat man asked with drool.
"You want nothing, you have to save it for money." The thin man cursed.
"Why don't we try it?" The fat man continued to instigate.
The thin man was also a little tempted at this time, he said: "Then let's try it?"
"Come on." The fat man couldn't wait to open the seal of the wine jar, and the rich aroma of wine came to his face.
"Brother, please go first." The fat man swallowed his saliva.
"Good brother, everyone has a share." The thin man took Du Kang and took a big sip.
"Ha, good wine, brother, it's your turn."
The fat man took the wine jar and took a big sip, "Ha, good wine, brother, it's your turn."
"Ha, cool, brother, it's your turn."
"Ha, cool, brother, it's your turn."
"Your turn."
"Brother, please."
Soon the jar of wine was empty.
"Brothers, you and I have been dependent on each other for many years. I am so sad! Wow." The thin man soon drank too much and hugged the fat man and started crying.
"Brother, don't say anything, I know everything. Wow." The fat man also started crying, so the two men sat in the alley and cried.
After a while, the two fell down in the alley and fell asleep.
"Ouch," the thin man was awakened by the pain.
His hand was stepped on by someone, and when he woke up, he found two people wearing long gowns and hats standing beside him. The one who stepped on him was Tiancandique.
"Hey, hey, hey. Damn, you stepped on my hand." The thin man was furious after seeing the situation, and he went up and grabbed the collar of the man who stepped on him.
Suddenly, a murderous intent filled the thin man's head, and he froze all over. He staggered backwards and happened to trip over the fat man on the ground. He sat on the fat man, which woke him up.
The other man stopped the man who stepped on him. He bowed to the thin man and said, "My brother has poor eyesight. I'm sorry for disturbing you two. I apologize for him."
The thin man had forgotten the bone-chilling coldness just now. He pointed at his cross-eyed eyes and said, "Who the hell do you have cross-eyed eyes?"
The man who spoke took out a tael of silver, threw it to the thin man and said, "Brother, buy some soup medicine, please help me."
The thin man's cross-eyed eyes became even more cross-eyed when he saw the silver. "Ahem, pay attention next time."
So Tiancan Dique carried a horizontal bag on his back and crossed the alley sideways.
The fat man looked at the silver and chuckled, "Brother, you have money to eat now."
"Eat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat. Look at those two blind men, the things they carry must be very valuable."
"Yes, they must be very valuable, they can definitely be exchanged for a lot of sesame cakes." The fat man agreed.
The thin man held his forehead with his hand, this guy is really stupid. "Let's follow those two."
Then the thin man rushed out first. It is said that people die for money and birds die for food. Under the trend of greed, the two fell far behind Tiancandique, waiting for an opportunity to move.
