Mr. Fu ran away again today

"I don't know?" Bai Yanzhi folded her arms, and said mockingly in her tone, "I don't think I don't know, is it lost?!"

"You look down on me too much, don't you?" Mo Chen immediately ignited his fighting spirit when she said this, and asked, "What if I win?"

"Just you?" Bai Yanzhi curled her lips.

"Yes! It's just me!" Mo Chen said.

Bai Yanzhi thought for a moment, then said: "If you can win, then I will treat you to dinner."

Mo Chen looked disgusted: "If I want to eat, won't I go to Moxiangju? Can you find a restaurant in Bai'an City that tastes better than Moxiangju?"

Bai Yanzhi raised her fist, looking like she wanted to hit someone, but finally her fist came to Mo Chen's eyes and stopped.Bai Yanzhi raised her index finger and forced a smirk: "The meal I want to treat you to eat is definitely something you have never eaten before, and it is also hard to buy!"

"So amazing?" Mo Chen suddenly became interested: "What kind of?"

Bai Yanzhi proudly raised her chin: "You won't be entitled to know until you win."

"Okay, just wait and invite me to dinner!" Mo Chen was full of confidence, and said, "Alcohol is also indispensable!"

"That's natural." Bai Yanzhi snorted, but she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth secretly. She pursed her lips to hold back the smile, and then continued, "There is enough wine, anyway, there is never any wine in my elder brother's wine cellar. Lack of good wine!"

"Really?"

"That's right! I remember that when Mr. Fu came to my house last time, my eldest brother brought out a jar of plum blossom wine. The wine was full of plum blossom fragrance. I wanted to wait for Mr. Fu to go and drink a few sips, but it turned out The two of them chatted about midnight, and drank the entire jar of wine, so that I didn't even take a sip!"

After hearing this, Mo Chen asked, "You mean, Mr. Fu and your elder brother drank until midnight?"

Bai Yanzhi nodded.

Mo Chen asked: "When did it happen?"

Bai Yanzhi thought for a while, and said, "It was the night before Mr. Fu returned to the capital."

Mo Chen suddenly felt uncomfortable, since he knew Fu Chuxi, Fu Chuxi never drank more than three drinks with him, and occasionally had a drink or two with him.Mo Chen always thought that Fu Chuxi was a poor drinker, but would a person with a poor drinker drink with others until midnight?And the two of them drank a jar of wine?

Mo Chen was in a complicated mood and didn't speak for a while. Bai Yanzhi noticed that Mo Chen was not happy, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Mo Chen said quietly: "Do you know? Mr. Fu never drank more than three drinks with me."

Bai Yanzhi smiled: "You still care about this? I think, maybe it's because my eldest brother and Mr. Fu are old friends who met in the capital before, so they get along better when talking and drinking."

Mo Chen refused to admit defeat, and said: "Mr. Fu and I also met in the capital!"

"That's different." Bai Yanzhi said, lowering her voice, "I'm telling you, my elder brother and Mr. Fu are going to do big things together!"

Mo Chen snorted: "What big deal? Open Moxiangju or the inns and banks under the name of Mochen Island all over the world?"

"How do I know?" Bai Yanzhi shrugged, "I only know that what they are going to do requires a lot of money. Recently, my eldest brother is going to give away his family fortune, saying that he wants to help Mr. Fu. As for the specifics What to do... Who knows, maybe Mr. Fu plans to leave Mochen Island and start a business with my brother."

Mo Chen immediately said: "Impossible, Mr. Fu signed a five-year agreement with us on Mochen Island, and there are still two years left!"

Bai Yanzhi was too lazy to discuss Fu Chuxi's matter with Mo Chen anymore. Seeing that she was about to arrive at Bu Zhuang, she said, "I won't talk anymore. I want to go in and have a look at Bu. Are you waiting for me outside or go in with me?"

Mo Chen pointed to the wine shop opposite: "You go by yourself, I'll go to the wine shop to buy wine!"

Bai Yanzhi smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll find you after I buy the cloth!"

Mo Chen didn't answer, and walked towards the wine shop with his head down, feeling uncomfortable in his heart as if something was suffocating. He used to think that Fu Chuxi had no friends in Bai'an City, even though Fu Chuxi brought Bai Zirui to the theater to meet him last time, He also thought they were just business friends.

But now... Fu Chuxi needs money, so why didn't he discuss it with him, but instead went to borrow it from outsiders, and even drank with others until midnight... How do you think about it, in Fu Chuxi's heart, Bai Zirui is obviously more important than him...

no!Mo Chen decided to do something. After thinking about it for a while, he would send his own private house money and some private house deeds and land deeds that Fu Chuxi helped him take care of to the capital. He didn't believe it. His family is not as rich as the Bai family!

Thinking of this, Mo Chen felt much more at ease, and when he stepped into the winery, his steps became lighter.

As soon as he entered the wine shop, Mo Chen was about to call the shopkeeper to buy wine, when he looked up, he saw a wine bowl flying towards him. Mo Chen turned sideways quickly, and the wine bowl rubbed his nose and hit the pillar behind, breaking with a bang open.

There were seven or eight people in the tavern, all around the front, Mo Chen went over curiously, and the tavern manager pointed at a young man and shouted: "Give me the money! Give me the money now!"

The boy looked aggrieved: "I said, I have no money now, wait a few days—"

"In a few days? I think you are here to eat Bawang wine! If you don't pay me today, I will report to the police! I will arrest you and lock you up for a year or so!" the tavern manager roared.

The boy blushed with anger, and stared at the shopkeeper for a long while speechless.

Mo Chen stared at the young man for a few more times, and sighed, isn't this young man the one at the same table as him in the teahouse?

Mo Chen asked an uncle next to him, and only then did he know the whole story.It turned out that the young man came to buy wine, and as soon as he entered the store, he pointed to a half-person-high wine jar and asked how much the wine was. After a while, I drank half a jar of wine.Later, the young man was about to leave after drinking enough. The shopkeeper would not let him go, saying that his wine would cost half a dime. He drank at least 20 cents, and he had to pay another ten taels of silver, and then the two quarreled.

Mo Chen found it strange, but anyone who has bought wine knows that wineries in Bai'an City and even the whole country quote a dime price.Besides, how could it be possible to buy a jar of wine for half a penny?Thinking about it, this young man is really greedy for alcohol, so he came up with this trick to trick him into drinking, right?

Thinking of this, Mo Chen took out ten taels of silver and walked over, handed it to the shopkeeper, and made up a lie: "My friend is from outside the customs, and he doesn't understand the rules of buying wine in the Central Plains, so I will pay for the wine."

Seeing that the money for the wine had been made up, the shopkeeper gave up and let the boy go.

After leaving the wine shop, the young man said angrily, "You people from the Central Plains are really troublesome. Who knew that he sold wine with such a small spoon?"

Mo Chen laughed: "Come on, if you say you are from outside the pass, do you really think you are from outside the pass?"

After finishing speaking, Mo Chen remembered that he hadn't bought the wine he wanted, so he asked the boy to wait for him for a while, then Mo Chen entered the winery and brought two jars of wine.

Mo Chen handed a jar of wine to the young man: "Come on, this wine is a strong wine from outside the Bajing Pass, much stronger than our Central Plains wine, I'll give you a jar to taste."

"Wine outside the pass?" the young man said happily, and was about to slap the lid off when he took it, but was stopped by Mo Chen.

"Good food and wine, I'll take you there!" Mo Chen said with a smile.

In the private room facing the street on the second floor of Moxiangju, Mo Chen and the young man sat in front of a round table filled with exquisite delicacies.

Mo Chen poured two large bowls of wine, and handed a bowl to the young man: "Ah Lang, try the wine from outside the pass and the dishes from the Central Plains!"

A Lang took the wine, drank it down, ate a few chopsticks meat, and said with a satisfied face: "The food here is much better than the brothel! Amo, you really know how to find a place!"

"Of course, food and drink are two things in life, good wine and delicious food are indispensable!" Mo Chen suddenly felt that he had found a confidant, and drank several more bowls of wine together with A Lang.

The two were chatting happily when the shopkeeper pushed the door open and said with an aggrieved expression: "What do you mean? There is no good wine in our restaurant, and you want to buy wine from outside. You are simply too much! Mo -"

"Amo!" Mo Chen grabbed the shopkeeper's wrist and gave him a look, "Amo knows the rules of your restaurant, so you won't bring your own drinks next time."

The shopkeeper immediately realized that it was because Island Master Mo didn't want him to reveal his identity.

The shopkeeper withdrew his hand and said coldly: "Well then, the two guest officers, remember not to bring outside wine next time."

Mo Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper pointed to a table of dishes and said to Mo Chen: "No credit today, all cash!"

Mo Chen repeatedly agreed, the shopkeeper raised his head, and walked out arrogantly.

Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief when the door was closed.

How risky! If A Lang knew that he was the master of Mochen Island who was said by storytellers to be defeated twice in a row by the first disciple of the Pavilion Master of Fengfeng Pavilion and who was also laughed at by the guests listening to the book in the teahouse, then his face would really be nowhere to put it...
