Chapter 556 Chen Qiyang (2)
Hu Tian and Hu De saw that the girls were quick and well-coordinated and had already started making tea for the guests. In contrast, the two of them were still standing there like rotten wood. They scratched their hair in embarrassment and hurried to stand guard outside the door.
"Brother, were you looking at her just now?" The two men stood at the door, looking straight ahead, and Hood suddenly asked.
"Yeah." Hu Tian looked straight ahead and answered calmly.
"I saw she was looking at you. It seems I have no hope." Hu De could not hide the disappointment in his eyes. He just saw Xiao An was looking at Hu Tian, and Hu Tian even smiled at Xiao An.
"A good man has ambitions." Hu Tian glanced at Hu De, unable to hide his smile, "You will meet someone who likes you."
"..." Is this a consolation? This is clearly showing off.
After the two stood there for a while, the number of customers began to increase from three or two to a constant stream. In order to hurry on their way, traveling merchants would specially order a pot of tea to take away, or buy tea directly. Ordinary peddlers would come in to drink a pot of tea and rest for a while before leaving. No matter who came to the teahouse, they would be shocked when they saw Hu Tian and Hu De.
The traveling merchants looked at Hu Tian and Hu De eagerly, with passion and desire in their eyes. The two were made uneasy by such a look.
Are these people mentally ill? Why are they looking at them like this?
They don't like homosexuality.
In fact, Hu Tian and Hu De misunderstood the merchants' ideas. Merchants rely on courage and guards to trade and transport goods. Hu Tian and Hu De are obviously the best bodyguards. Just standing there is enough to scare people away.
"Two strong men..." A merchant who was in need of manpower to escort his goods walked cautiously up to the two men.
"What's the matter?" Hu Tian glanced at the merchant, who was frightened by Hu Tian's eyes, but he still mustered up the courage to ask. "Would you two warriors be willing to protect me for a while? We can discuss the money."
"I'll protect you." Hu Tian and Hu De looked at each other. What did it mean?
The Hu family are all soldiers. They always fight bravely on the battlefield and don’t understand what being a businessman means.
"Uh... I have ten carts of goods that need to be delivered to Lincheng. I would like to ask two strong men to protect me along the way. I am willing to pay you fifty taels as a reward." The merchant looked at the two men hopefully, hoping that they would agree.
"Fifty taels?" Hu Tian and Hu De were both stunned. Their annual salary in the barracks was only thirty taels, and it was fifty taels just to defend a city?
The merchant thought the two men thought the price was too low, so he gritted his teeth and raised the price. "Eighty taels!!"
As long as they can successfully protect him along the way, he is willing to give them eighty taels.
"Eighty taels?" Hu De took a breath and looked at Hu Tian, but Hu Tian shook his head.
The businessman saw Hu Tian shaking his head and looked at the two of them disappointedly, but Hu Tian said, "When are you leaving?"
"After three days." If he hadn't been unable to find help, it wouldn't have been delayed until three days later. One more day of delay would mean one more day of loss of money! He was also in a hurry.
"Let us think about it." Hu Tian said to the businessman.
The businessman was delighted. It was good to have hope. "Okay, okay, then... I'll come again tomorrow?"
"Yes." Hu Tian nodded, and the businessman smiled. "My last name is Chen, Chen Qiyang, and I am a warrior...?"
"...Wu Tian." Hu Tian was silent for a while, but said.
"...Wu De." Hu De glanced at Hu Tian and changed his surname accordingly.
"You two strong men, you have great bodies." Chen Qi Yang said with envy.
