Chapter 224 Enjoy This Wonderful Night...
As the saying goes, you have to strike while the iron is hot, wash the rice before cooking it, and go to the house to uncover the tiles... Well, okay, anyway, after Tang En came out of the Dark Dragon Gang's station, he put on a slight disguise and drove straight to the carriage. Coming from the south of the city.
In a business like a tavern, it is not possible to close so early in the evening, and sometimes it is normal to stay open all night.
The location of Qinglin Street is very remote. After Tang En got off the carriage, except for the dark yellow lighting crystals on the roadside, there were basically no lighted places. But precisely because of this, Tang En easily found the Night Rose Tavern mentioned by Black Dragon. No way, that colorful signboard is too eye-catching.
If an ordinary tavern opens in this place, it will become obsolete sooner or later. But if Ye Rose really has a black market side business, then choosing here would be the best choice.
Tang En first walked around the tavern and observed it for a while. Except for a beautiful carriage parked not far from the door that did not match the environment here, he didn't see anything special. Finally, he simply pushed the door open and entered.
There were surprisingly few customers in the tavern, only two. One of them seemed to have drunk a lot and was sleeping on the table. The other one is a young woman. Judging from her clothing, she must be from a good family. She is probably the owner of the carriage outside the door.
The door of the tavern is a bit old and the sound when opened is a bit loud. As soon as Tang En came in, the three sober people in the room turned their heads and looked over.
Except for the young women, there were two young men standing at the wine cabinet. A man wearing a waiter's uniform was leaning on the counter, a little depressed, and seemed to be taking a nap just now. The young man at the counter just glanced at it, then looked away, concentrating on wiping the crystal cup in his hand. Although it was a startling glance, Tang En still saw the young man who looked like the shopkeeper. He had a soft-contoured face under the flaxen hair, which was quite charming.
I found a seat and sat down. The waiter yawned and came over: "Sir, what do you need?"
"Have a glass of light wine." Tang En, now looking like a middle-aged man, waved his hand and said casually.
"How about the gin... Well, five silver coins, thank you."
Tang En raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. He had drunk gin wine before, and the price was eighty coppers at most, not to mention it was just a cup, "Oh, what about ale?"
"One silver coin, thank you." The waiter's smile did not change.
Ale is the most common alcoholic drink in other worlds. Tang En has drunk a lot of it whether in the city or at the Gray Army garrison, but the price is only twenty copper coins a cup at most.
He nodded with some understanding, "No wonder you have so few customers." Although the Rose Tavern was located in a remote place, the business was not so deserted this late at night.
"Yes." The waiter nodded in agreement and said matter-of-factly: "So the price must be higher."
"Haha." Tang En laughed and shook his head, taking out five silver coins, "Then let's go to the Pine Nut Bar."
"OK, wait!"
...The taste of gin wine is average, nothing outstanding. Of course, Tang En will not dwell on this issue now. During this period of time, the number of people in the tavern still did not increase, but an interesting phenomenon was discovered. Although the young woman was holding a cup of orange liquid and sipping it carefully, with Tang En's observation ability, he could naturally tell that her attention was on the handsome shop owner. From time to time, he peeked out of the corner of his eye with some admiration, oh, it must be a secret love... I'm going too far. To be honest, Tang En was sitting here, almost finishing a glass of wine, but he didn't find anything valuable. Information. It seems that I have to take the initiative... Just as Tang En stood up, the young woman over there put down her glass first and walked towards the wine cabinet.
"Hello." The soft voice was a little nervous.
The young shopkeeper in the wine cabinet was a little surprised and nodded: "Hello."
At this time, the waiter on the other side raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head, a little interested and a little regretful.
"I...my name is Reina." As if she had made a lot of determination, the young woman exhaled slightly and then said, "I have been here for half a month. I, I want to give you something...with my own hands. Braided."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bunch of brightly colored and exquisite bracelets appeared on the counter. The young woman lowered her head and pinched the hem of her clothes with her fingers.
The young shop owner looked stunned, then put down the crystal cup in his hand and shrugged: "Thank you... Well, sorry, I never wear jewelry."
"Oh..." There was unconcealable disappointment on the face of the young woman, and she tightened her grip on the bracelet. Finally, she mustered up the courage to raise her head and said, "Actually, actually, I want to say..."
"Miss Lena." The young shopkeeper interrupted the woman's words, then took two steps to the left, grabbed the waiter's arm and placed it on the counter. Looking at the woman's shocked expression, he clasped his fingers together, "Forgot Let me tell you...well, I have someone I like."
.........I, pinch me... The corners of Tang En's mouth twitched twice, and the mood of watching the show was gone, and he was filled with a sense of absurdity. Although he could tell from the surprised expression on the waiter's face just now that this was an excuse, but this... was a bit too strong!
Huh - sure enough, the young woman was killed instantly. When she came to her senses, she immediately burst into tears, turned around and ran towards the door.
Bang, the tavern door banged, and the figure disappeared.
"Oh, there is one less customer..." He hurriedly took his hand out, and the waiter shook his head with regret on his face.
"Yes." The young shopkeeper responded lightly, returned to his original position, and continued to pick up the crystal cup and wipe it.
"Ahem..." He cleared his throat. Although the atmosphere was a bit strange now, there was no one around except the sleeping drunkard. It was a good time to talk, so Tang En started to walk over.
"Do you need anything else, sir?"
Tang En nodded, then narrowed his eyes slightly, "Well, my needs are somewhat special..."
"Uh..." The young shopkeeper and the waiter looked at each other, their expressions stiff and somewhat absurd.
Tang En looked around, touched his nose and said, "Don't worry, you two, I have no intention of disturbing your happy life."
"Bah...cough, cough..." The waiter leaned down with a shameless look and kept coughing. The young shop owner looked calm on the surface, but Tang En still saw veins twitching at the corners of his eyes.
"I heard you can get some special stuff here."
...The tavern was silent for a moment. The young shopkeeper put down the crystal glass, frowned, and looked at the waiter who was also wary: "Throw that man out and close the door!"
The waiter nodded, and then walked directly to the drunkard who was sleeping at his desk, picked up his coat and threw it out the door. Then the door panel inside was lowered and the tavern was closed.
Tang En's face was calm and he didn't say anything. Such a long period of observation was not in vain. There were only two people in front of him in the tavern. Although they also had some strength, Tang En was naturally not afraid.
"Sir, we don't do business with strangers." After everything was settled, the young shopkeeper said calmly.
"Oh? Sorry, I really don't know about this." Tang En spread his hands to show his presumption, and then said, "But we do business with everyone, and regular customers develop from strangers, right?"
"It makes sense...but it's limited by the rules, sorry." The young shopkeeper bowed slightly and remained unmoved.
"That's it..." Tang En clicked his fingers on the counter a few times, squinting his narrow eyes, "If I tie you two up..."
"It's useless." The young shopkeeper shook his head, his face not changing at all, "There is only wine here, nothing else. We are just middlemen. Even if you kill us, you will get nothing but being hunted down. "
"Understood." Tang En nodded, retracted his hand and pinched his chin, "So, there is no possibility of cooperation between us?"
"Yes!"
"Then what does it mean to be an acquaintance?"
"Have our customer logo." The young shop owner explained, "But if you want to have this logo, you must cooperate once."
"It's an endless loop... Well, what if the transaction amount is large?"
The young shop owner raised his eyebrows and thought for a few seconds: "If the amount is huge, we can report it to our superiors and then decide whether to cooperate with you."
"That's good!" Tang En breathed a slight sigh of relief. He didn't want to get stuck here after spending a lot of effort. "I don't know the specific amount yet... By the way, the price of a Quake." How many?"
"Thor's Hammer..." The young shopkeeper and the waiter looked at each other, then took a slight breath and said slowly, "About 150,000."
Tang En nodded and made some calculations in his mind: "If you all have everything, the transaction amount will not be less than three million."
The young shop owner's breath was stagnant and he looked at Tang En seriously: "As long as we have money, we can provide you with anything... Well, I will report it to the superiors as soon as possible. Come back tomorrow night."
"Thank you, happy working together!"
“Happy to work with!”
Buzz... Tang En turned around and flicked out a gold coin, waving his hand: "This is considered compensation... Well, I won't disturb you two from enjoying this wonderful night."
At the door, a depressed and troubled waiter had already removed the door panel. Nodding, Tang En walked out of the tavern and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Tsk, your tone is really annoying!" The waiter curled his lips disapprovingly and walked back to the counter.
The young shopkeeper looked a little weird, staring straight at the gold coins spinning on the table: "Whatever, this has nothing to do with business."
"Hey, he is teasing and sarcastic, okay? He also said he would take down the two of us, huh..." The waiter spread his hands and said a lot, then looked at the young shopkeeper strangely: "What are you doing here? ...By the way, what this man said was incomprehensible, what kind of compensation..." As he spoke, he reached out to grab the gold coins that were still spinning.
"don't want……"
Boom - bang... "Uh..." After the tavern was silent for a while, the waiter looked at the counter that had been reduced to a pile of broken wood on the ground in shock, and opened his mouth, "I, I, I... I don't know anything. did not do."
"Nonsense, if you have such strength, why are we guarding the tavern here..." After coming back to his senses, the young shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.
"It's him..." The waiter also reacted and murmured. His mind replayed it instantly, and finally settled on the scene of the man tapping his fingers on the counter a few times. Taking a breath, "What does he mean?"
"Who knows, maybe it's a demonstration... Well, you're lucky!" the young shopkeeper replied casually, and then he found the unbroken crystal cup from the broken wood with a look of joy on his face, took out a white towel and wiped it carefully.
"Then what do we do now?"
"Needless to say?" The young shop owner spread his hands, "Of course I want to enjoy this wonderful night."
"Bah! Vomit..."
