Chapter 42 Zhang Bao? Zhang Bao

  "Alright, stop smiling." He stopped Zhao Fei's silly grin and then asked seriously: "What's your name? Have you ever done business before?"

  "Hey mister, when you ask others questions, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Zhao Fei said cautiously, not knowing what the other person was getting at.

  "Heh heh." The middle-aged man smiled again, "I am the owner of this winery and a distant relative of the Zhang family in Zhending. My name is Zhang Bao. Now it's your turn to speak up, young brother."

  Hearing that man call out Zhang Bao, Zhao Fei was stunned on the spot. "Zhang... Zhang Bao." Looking at Zhang Bao in horror, Zhao Fei's legs were trembling with fear.

  Looking at Zhao Fei's expression, Zhang Bao was also stunned. What's wrong with him? Why is he making this face, as if my name scared him. How can this be? Zhang Bao couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

  It's no wonder that Zhao Fei would be like this, Zhang Bao is what kind of person. That was one of the leaders of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he was the younger brother of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban bandits. In short, the man in front of him was the head of the rebels, how could Zhao Fei not be surprised and afraid? However, Zhao Fei misunderstood, this Zhang Bao is not that Zhang Bao, although there is only one word difference between them, but the difference between them is very big, however, at this time Zhao Fei did not know.

  "That... that shopkeeper, we won't buy grain from you. You'd better find someone else." Zhao Fei was intimidated by Zhang Bao's two words and stammered as he spoke to him. Then he hastily called out to Zhao Hu, preparing to flee the scene, not wanting to have any further dealings with Zhang Bao.

  Can't figure out what Zhao Fei is playing. Didn't see Zhao Fei acting, Zhang Bao hurriedly shouted to Zhao Fei: "Little friend, what's wrong with you? Are you dissatisfied with the price?"

  "What's wrong with you, Little Fei?" Zhao Hu also couldn't understand what Zhao Fei was doing and could only grab onto him.

  "Uh... uh..." Zhao Fei didn't know how to tell Zhao Hu, stuttering. How could he tell his father that in the future he would be a rebel? This was obviously impossible. First of all, who knows if his father would believe him, and secondly, who knows if Zhang Bao would get angry and kill both himself and his father. Zhao Fei had indeed been intimidated by Zhang Bao's reputation and hadn't thought deeply about it. If he had thought carefully, he would have come up with something.

  "What's wrong with you? Mr. Zhang has already given us a good price, it's already higher than expected, what more do you want?" Looking at Zhao Fei's expression, Zhao Hu was somewhat annoyed. Zhao Hu is an honest person and didn't have any other thoughts, thinking that Zhao Fei just wanted to raise the price again like before. He snorted at Zhao Fei, then turned his head apologetically to Zhang Bao and said: "Mr. Zhang, please don't mind, my son has never been out of the village before, he doesn't know the height of the sky or the thickness of the earth, please forgive him."

  "Hehe, it's nothing." Zhang Bao smiled at Zhao Hu. "Old brother has a good son, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Looking at your son's situation, it's not something that can be easily explained. Is that right, little friend?" Zhang Bao winked at Zhao Fei. "Can you tell me what's going on? I don't think we have any connection, so why would mentioning my name make you react like this? Could it be that you know someone else named Zhang Bao, but this person has a very intimidating identity?" It was no wonder he had been a shopkeeper for many years, one sentence and he hit the nail on the head.

  After listening to Zhang Bao's words, Zhao Fei suddenly realized. That is to say, I didn't know that this Zhang Bao was not a rebel, what was I afraid of? It seems that Zhang Bao should be in Julu. Although I don't know where Julu is, it's definitely not in Zhending. After thinking about it, I thought too much. No matter what, it's better to confirm. The determined Zhao Fei lost his previous flustered expression. "This little devil Tang suddenly asked, 'How many people are there in Zhang's family? Are there any older or younger brothers at home?'"

  "Heh heh, I'm the only son of this family and have been managing this wine shop for many years. If you don't believe me, you can go ask around at the surrounding shops." Zhang Baorao said to Zhao Fei with interest.

  Upon hearing Zhang Bao's words, Zhao Fei's heart felt at ease and he hastily apologized to Zhang. "I hope the shopkeeper can forgive me, I was just momentarily anxious and...and it wasn't..."

  "Hehe, never mind. Zhang Bao waved his hand and continued: "But I'm curious, what kind of person can scare Xiao You away like that?"

  "This... this... Hehe. I hope the boss won't mind, but this really can't be said." Zhao Fei showed a very apologetic expression. How can you expect me to tell you that there's a rebel named Zhang Bao who will rise up against the imperial court in a few years? Can such words be spoken?"

  "No need, no need. Since you don't want to say, I won't ask. Let's continue with our business...". Before Zhang Bao could finish speaking, Zhao Fei hastily interrupted: "Is there anything else to discuss, Shopkeeper Zhang? Didn't you just agree? Are you going back on your word? That would be untrustworthy." Zhao Fei's face was expressionless, but in his heart he was muttering nonstop. Let him open his mouth again, who knows what kind of trouble it will stir up.

  "Xiao Fei, how can you talk like that?" Zhao Hu looked at Zhao Fei with a glance, then hastily apologized to Zhang Bao: "Zhang boss, don't mind him, my Xiao Fei is really not well-behaved. If you want to discuss something, just talk to me, no need to pay attention to him." As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Fei behind his back.

  Looking at the father and son in front of him, Zhang Bao felt a great difference. Zhao Hu was a straightforward person, the kind who would not have an extreme reaction even if you rode on his head and pulled shit. On the other hand, Zhao Fei was different. Although he looked more straightforward, he was actually extremely astute. His immature face revealed maturity that didn't match his age. However, he lacked the ability to interact with others and had many shortcomings, otherwise, he wouldn't have easily let himself be caught off guard. But it's not surprising, a country boy who has never been out of the village could do this well already.

  Zhao Fei had no idea that he was so highly regarded in Zhang Bao's eyes, and if he knew, he would probably burst out laughing. Of course, I'm old-fashioned, I've lived for over 2,000 years, how could I not be? And also shrewd, anyway, I really don't know where my shrewdness lies.

  "Hehe, it's alright, old brother. What Xiao Fei said wasn't wrong." Zhang Bao waved his hand to stop Zhao Hu. "Since I've already agreed, how could I go back on my word? Let's just stick with 270 yuan per jin. Calculate how much is left and I'll take it all at once."

  Zhao Hu was overjoyed, "Then thank you, Mr. Zhang." He then turned around to weigh the grain, Zhao Fei was about to follow Zhao Hu to help, but before he could turn around, he was stopped by Zhang Bao.

  "Little friend, please wait a moment."

  "Is there something wrong with Mr. Zhang?" Zhao Fei asked politely, wondering why Zhang Bao had stopped him.

  "It's like this, I still have a little helper in my shop, I don't know if you're interested, young friend." Zhang Bao still had that unchanged smile, as gentle as a millet.

  "What's the treatment like." Upon hearing Zhang Bao's words, Zhao Fei became somewhat excited. Just thinking about going to sleep and the pillow had arrived, when entering the city he was still thinking about finding a job, look at this it has come. However, Zhao Fei did not show that excitement, suppressing that excitement calmly asked.

  "Five hundred yuan a month, with food and accommodation provided, how about it?" Seeing Zhao Fei's expression, Zhang Bao was not surprised.

  "This thing I need to ask my dad about, after all..." Zhao Fei said with a troubled expression.

  "This is inevitable." Upon hearing Zhao Fei say this, Zhang Bao felt that the matter was already 90% settled.
