Chapter 1415 Visiting the Fatty Again
After returning from Linhuai Marquis’ navy camp, Zhu Ping’an took Liu Mu and Liu Dadao to Pichai Street again and ordered a full 20-dollar meal from Kuaiji Restaurant. I cooked some Shaoxing famous dishes and two large jars of Shaoxing rice wine. I paid a penny for running errands and asked the restaurant clerk to help me pack the food in a box and bring it to the greasy fat man’s residence.
On the way, Liu Dadao asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Master, why do you praise this damn fat man so much? With so many food and wine, Master is usually reluctant to enjoy them like this. It's too cheap for this damn fat man."
"Because he is worth it." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
"Is he worth it?" Liu Dadao opened his mouth in disbelief when he heard this. He couldn't help but shook his head, "Don't blame me, sir. Apart from his fat body, I really don't see what makes this fat guy worth it."
In Liu Dadao's eyes, the greasy fat man is simply a salted fish by the river, no, a toad with its belly turned over in the mud pond to bask in the sun.
"He is Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang." Zhu Pingan did not beat around the bush. Yes, the answer was revealed directly.
"Huh? He is the Xu Wenchang that the young master has worked so hard to find?!" Liu Dadao opened his mouth even wider, "Isn't the Xu Wenchang that the young master is looking for a unique genius?! Damn fat man, he is shameless and a rogue. , the brain is still a little abnormal, how could it be the Xu Wenchang that the young master has worked so hard to find."
Xu Wenchang is rated as a genius by the young master! No matter what, he is not much different from Zhuge Liang in the play. How can the fat guy match up with the most talented genius in the world? He is almost the most insane.
When Liu Dadao thought of the image of that slovenly, slovenly, scoundrel and shameless fat man who picked his nose casually, he couldn't help but shake his head like it was flying. He couldn't accept the reality that the greasy fat man was Xu Wenchang.
"Haha, Dadao, you can't just look at the appearance of everything." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and said to Liu Dadao, "For example, there was a famous prime minister in the Song Dynasty named Wang Anshi. He was an extraordinary person. People who have a slovenly appearance and live a slovenly life were famous as sloppy kings in the Song Dynasty. How sloppy is that? According to historical records, Wang Anshi said: "He is not a good-looking person, but he is very frugal, or his clothes are dirty and his face is not clean." Once, Wang Anshi's family found that Wang Anshi's Yintang turned black and his face had no color at all. They were worried that Wang Anshi was ill, so they invited a famous local doctor to come to see him. I haven't washed my face for a long time, and it has accumulated thick grease. Just wash it with soap beans. When Wang Anshi heard this, he felt insulted. He said angrily, I was born with black hair and no soap beans would work, so don’t bother. However, his family still found a way to ask him to wash his face with soap beans, and a basin of washing water was all black. In addition, he had an audience. The emperor, the emperor was amused when he discovered that there were fleas on his beard. However, although Wang Anshi was unkempt, he managed the poor and weak Song Dynasty in an orderly manner. A rich country will have many powerful soldiers.”
“Sir, the Wang Anshi you mentioned is very powerful, but no matter how I look at Fatty, I don’t realize that he is so shameless and rogue. The gangsters on the street are no better."
Liu Dadao still doesn't believe that Fatty Fatty is very powerful. He always thinks Fatty Fatty is an incompetent gangster.
"Young Master, to be honest, I am just like Da Dao, I don't see what's so powerful about that fat man."
Liu Mu also followed suit.
"You will know how powerful he is in the future. If you can ask him to help, he can defeat a hundred thousand troops."
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
"He alone has the strength of a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. I don't believe that any soldier can beat him to the point of crying for his father and mother."
Liu Dadao flattened his mouth.
“He is not good at hand-to-hand combat, but strategizing and winning decisively from thousands of miles away are what he is good at.”
Zhu Pingan explained.
Liu Mu and Liu Dadao still didn't believe it. They didn't believe that the greasy fat man could be so powerful.
"You will know in the future." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly. When Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage and invited Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not convinced and were angry, but later Zhuge Liang got them fired by Bowang Po. After being convinced, facts speak louder than words. In the future, Xu Wenchang will take action several times, and Liu Mu and Liu Dadao will naturally know However, after thinking about it, Zhu Pingan said to the two of them again, "Later, you should respect him more. This time I hope to ask him to come out and help me fight against the Japanese."
"Don't worry, Young Master, we won't ruin your business." Liu Mu and Liu Dadao nodded vigorously to express their stance.
Zhu Ping'an nodded reassuringly, then stepped forward and gently knocked on the knocker of Fatty Fatty's door.
As usual, he knocked once, but there was no response from the small courtyard. Zhu Pingan knocked again as he was used to it.
In this way, after three times of dunking, a familiar and magnetic cry like a crane sounded in the yard, "Who is it, who is it? It's such an afternoon, it's banging, banging, disturbing people's dreams, and it's Do you have a sense of public morality?"
The door creaked.
The greasy fat man appeared at the door with his hair disheveled and unkempt as always, surrounded by a thin quilt, with an unfriendly expression on his face. I haven’t seen you for a few days. Fatty’s noodles are full of dishes. I guess the food has not been good these days.
After opening the door and seeing that it was Zhu Pingan and his party who spared his sweet dream, the unkindness on the greasy fat man's face suddenly turned into excitement, especially when he saw the hands of the waiter from Kuaiji Restaurant following Zhu Pingan. He was carrying three huge double-layered food boxes and two large jars of Shaoxing old wine. He couldn't hide his joy and his mouth was watering.
If it were normal, Liu Dadao would definitely ridicule him, but thinking of the young master's instructions, Liu Dadao held back.
"Haha, it turns out it's you. It's true. You always come when I'm dreaming about a gluttonous feast and interrupt my dreams." The greasy fat man said with a smile while sipping his saliva.
"Yes, so we all took the initiative to bring the compensation." Zhu Ping'an smiled at the greasy fat man and said, "Why don't you invite us in?"
"Haha, how can we? , how can we? China But in a country of etiquette, there is no reason to turn away food, wine, and no, no, guests." The greasy fat man slurped his saliva and said when he was excited, he spoke the truth in his heart. After discovering it, he said it again. Shamelessly changed it.
Liu Dadao lowered his head and couldn't help rolling his eyes twice.
"Come in, please come in, please come in quickly." The greasy fat man waved and greeted, as enthusiastically as if he were meeting close relatives and friends who had been separated for a hundred years.
Zhu Pingan, Liu Dadao and Liu Mu entered the door first, followed by the waiters from Kuaiji Restaurant.
"Oh, be careful, be careful, be sure to pay attention to your feet. There is a mud puddle here. I just poured a bowl of water in front of it and it is a bit slippery. But be sure to pay attention. Don't slip and fall. "Good food and wine"
The greasy fat man showed his true colors in an instant. His plump body passed over Zhu Ping'an and the others, and he guided the waiters of Kuaiji Restaurant diligently, not to mention how cautious he was. (End of this chapter)
