Chapter 62: Iron Fan, Song Qing!
The man in front of him was in his thirties, wearing a blue slanted buckle, a dust-covered soap scarf, black cotton boots, and an account book in his hand. He looked very wise, unlike the people in the market.
When the man saw Ximen Qing, he looked admiring in his eyes. He thought to himself that a young man was very young, and then asked: "Young master, I wonder what it is expensive to come to my shop? Eat or stay?"
Ximen Qing smiled and bowed, saying, "I don't eat or stay, I just want to buy something. By the way, the shopkeeper, can you ask, how many steamed buns and how much beef are there in your restaurant?"
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, confused, and then said, "I have 100 kilograms of beef and 800 steamed buns in this restaurant. I wonder what this young master has to do?"
Ximen Qing was delighted and thought that the amount was enough, so he took out a ingot of gold from his arms, a total of ten taels, and handed it to the man. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, I am willing to buy these steamed buns and beef. Please move it out quickly and lend it to me for a friend to use it, and transport these things not far away!"
"This..." The man immediately showed a difficult look when he heard this.
Ximen Qing asked, "Shopkeeper, what's wrong? Is there anything difficult?"
The man nodded and said, "I can only give you twenty kilograms of beef, and I can only give you two hundred steamed buns, because those beef and steamed buns have been ordered. I can't keep my promise in business, right?"
When Ximen Qing heard this, he thought it was not enough, so he could only sigh and said, "Ah, since that's the case, then okay, by the way, the shopkeeper, I don't know where there is a restaurant?"
The man was very curious and wondered why Ximen Qing needed a lot of beef and steamed buns so urgently, but he replied: "There are many small restaurants on the West Street of Yuncheng, but the ones closer to my house are only the Xiaowang Restaurant and other restaurants that can only be found outside one or two branches! Business has been difficult to do recently, so the restaurant is turned on and off."
After saying that, the man couldn't help but ask curiously: "By the way, this young master, can I ask more questions, what is the use of steamed buns if you want so much beef!"
Ximen Qing laughed and said, "I just donated poor people in front of Xiaowang Restaurant, but the number of beef and steamed buns in Xiaowang Restaurant is not large, so I can only come here, hoping to buy more back! I just didn't think about it... Okay, you can keep these ten taels of gold and help me deliver the beef and steamed buns to Xiaowang Restaurant. I'm thanking me here. I'm going to other restaurants now to see if I can buy food like steamed buns."
When the man heard this, he was full of admiration and bowed to Ximen Qing and said, "I am so clumsy. I didn't expect that the young master is so righteous. Since it is a good thing for relief, I will also do my best. I will sell all the steamed buns and beef to the young master at half price, so that the young master can help the poor people!"
The man stuffed the gold back into Ximen Qing's hand, and then said to the busy waiter: "Xiaosun, go and find a car to pack all the steamed buns and beef in our kitchen, and then transport it to Xiaowang's restaurant with this young master, go and do it!"
The servant nodded repeatedly, and then went to do it in a panic.
Ximen Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I am grateful to you. The shopkeeper is a righteous person. Haha, thank you. I don't know that the shopkeeper is your surname. After finishing the work, I will definitely come to thank you! Then I will ask the shopkeeper to enjoy his face and have a good drink!"
He is willing to help the poor without integrity, which shows how good this man is. The bosses of other restaurants probably won’t dare to be so brave! So Ximen Qing is also happy to make friends with such righteous people.
The man smiled and said, "Song Qing is from Yuncheng County. It is my honor to be able to meet the young master today. Compared with the young master, what is my righteousness?"
Song Qing? Iron Fan Song Qing, Song Jiang's younger brother! Ximen Qing was happy and hurriedly said: "It turns out to be Brother Song Qing. I have heard of Iron Fan Song Qing's righteousness in the world. Today, I saw that it is indeed well-known. In Ximen Qing, a person from Qinghe County!"
"Ah? Emperor Yi!" Song Qing was shocked when he heard this, and then he grabbed Ximen Qing's hand in surprise and said, "Are you Emperor Yi? Well, it's true that he is so handsome and free and easy in the rumors in the world. He is both kind and kind. Haha... It's really a fate to be able to meet today."
At this time, the servant also came over and said, "Shopkeeper, everything is ready, it's at the back door!"
Song Qing nodded, then grabbed Ximen Qing's hand and said, "Emperor Yi, since the things are done, I might as well walk with you. How about it? After that, we will come here to have a drink and have a good chat. How about it?"
Ximen Qing smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course!"
After saying that, the two hurried out and rushed to Xiaowang’s restaurant with a carriage full of steamed buns and beef.
When he arrived at Xiao Wang's restaurant, he saw that the steamed buns had been distributed. Zixuan was anxiously looking around. After seeing Ximen Qing, he greeted him in surprise.
After Ximen Qing and Song Qing arrived, they hurriedly asked someone to remove the steamed buns and beef, and then asked the servant to distribute it.
Zixuan patted her chest and gasped, "Official, fortunately you are here, otherwise I don't know how to solve it!"
Ximen Qing said, "Let Zixuan suffer!" Then he pointed at Song Qing and said, "Come on, let me introduce you to you. This is Song Qing and Brother Song!"
Zixuan nodded and shouted obediently: "Brother Song!"
Then Ximen Qing said to Song Qing: "Brother Song, she is Zixuan, Chao Gai's real sister!"
"Oh?" Song Qing was shocked again, then smiled and bowed, "It turns out that he is King Chao's sister, Song is polite here!"
Zixuan smiled and said, "Brother Song is serious, but I am the only thing I am polite!"
Then the three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Because the amount of steamed buns and beef was sufficient, the distribution proceeded steadily. After a while, all the beggars left with several steamed buns and beef.
The onlookers secretly gave thumbs up, and only a few sarcastic people left embarrassedly.
Afterwards, after packing up his things, Ximen Qing and Zixuan followed Song Qing to the Song Family Restaurant, found a seat for some good wine and dishes, and sat down and started talking in detail.
Song Qing toasted the two of them with a glass of wine and asked with a smile: "Emperor Yi, where are you going? How long will you stay in Yuncheng County? If you stay for a long time, then stay in my house. My brother praised you and always wanted to see you!"
Ximen Qing smiled and responded, and after drinking, he said, "I went to Xinzhou to find my master after traveling around, so I came to Yuncheng to see him for a few days. Is your brother Song Jiang? I rained in time, but I have always known his name but I have never been able to meet him. Later, I will also introduce him to him by Song Qing!"
Song Qing laughed loudly, patted Ximen Qing on the shoulder, and said, "What did Emperor Yi say?"
At this moment, three men suddenly walked into the door and asked at the sitting Song Qing, "Song Qing, where is our stuff?"
Song Qing, who was talking, changed his face and felt a little embarrassed. He stood up and bowed, "I'm sorry, the three brothers, the steamed buns and beef have been sold out today, so I didn't leave them for the three brothers. In order to compensate, I am willing to give out 100 taels of silver as compensation. What do you think?"
