Chapter 11

Everyone looked up and saw a man in green clothes and a small hat, with his chest raised and his belly folded, standing at the door with a smile.

Li Gui didn't recognize this person, but Li Laoqi jumped up suddenly.

"Ah! It turns out to be Butler Li! I wanted to go visit him in the afternoon, but I didn't want to see him here."

Several other people also recognized this person and immediately put down their chopsticks and stood up to salute and say hello.

Butler Li nodded with a smile without returning the courtesy. Then he glanced around and saw Li Gui sitting upright.

He was quite unhappy, but he didn't show it. Instead, he asked affectionately:
"How are you doing, Leader Zhao?"

"Why didn't the other leaders come?"

"This brother is so new to me, but is he the new leader on the mountain?"

"Uh……"

Li Laoqi hesitated for a moment, but then extended his hand and introduced:

"My brother is the new leader of the village, and his name is Li Gui, 'The Killing Star'!"

"The original Zhao Heitou and several other leaders did many evil things and were stubborn. They have been replaced by my brother!"

"Hey!" Butler Li's expression suddenly changed, he hurriedly put on a smile, folded his hands in salute, and bowed his body, "I don't know the respect of my brother, the leader of the village. I'm very rude. Please forgive me, brother!"

"It's easy to talk. We will interact with each other more often in the future. We are all brothers. There is no need to be so polite. Sit down and talk."

Butler Li hurriedly asked someone to add a seat, delivered a few more dishes, and brought a pot of wine.

After sitting down, he filled the wine glass first, held it up with both hands, and toasted:

"I met my brother for the first time today. I would like to give you a toast."

Li Gui was not polite to him, picked up his own wine bowl, exchanged the bowl with the cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

He drinks proudly, but does not force others to share the bowl.

After a few glasses of wine, Butler Li asked with a smile:

"I dare to ask my brother, what kind of valuable goods do you want to sell when you come down the mountain this time?"

"It's true that it's a little subtle, but the most important thing is that I want to buy some prohibited goods through the Li family's channels. I don't know if I dare to trade here with the Li family?"

"Brother asked the right person. As long as he says he needs it, our Li family will definitely make good arrangements for him."

Li Gui personally poured a glass of wine for Butler Li, and after he drank it all, he asked: "Can the Li family get the weapons, armor, bows and crossbows?"

Butler Li's face froze, he hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"Okay! It's just the price..."

"Butler Li, please feel free to ask for the price. If you can't afford it, I won't ask for trouble."

Butler Li thought about it and said:
"This ordinary folding iron knife needs to be used once. If it is a steel knife, it needs to be used ten times."

"The long spear with a wooden shaft and an iron tip is also the same. If you only want an iron tip, it will cost 500 coins."

"As for armor, paper armor costs one hundred strands, and leather armor costs three hundred strands. Chain armor and iron armor are simply unavailable."

"Crossbows are also unavailable. An ordinary eight-ton birch bow costs ten shots, and an arrow costs ten cents."

Butler Li has a lot of family treasures, and he thinks he has done this kind of business in private.

This is good! "Butler Li, please be happy! I have no objection to the price!" Li Gui filled another glass of wine for Butler Li, "I plan to take a look at the goods first and then decide what I want, is that okay?"

"Okay, no problem! I will go back and prepare now, and my brother can come to the store to pick up the goods in the afternoon."

Butler Li immediately stood up to leave, but Li Gui stretched out his hand to hold him back, "Hey, it won't take more than an hour and a half, let's have some wine first!"

Everyone gathered around Steward Li and took turns toasting. By the time they were full, Steward Li was already dizzy from being drunk.

"Brother, brother, please sit in the store for a while, and I will prepare the goods."

"Everything is fine. I just happened to go sit in my brother's shop and recognize the door. It will be much more convenient next time I come back."

Li Gui burped and stood up to pay. Butler Li hurriedly stepped forward and held him down.

"My brother and I hit it off immediately, so I'll invite you to this wedding banquet! This Thousand-foot Building is the property of the Li family, so I'll go out and explain it to you at no cost to my brother!"

"Brother Xian, what are you saying? It's our first time to meet you. How can I ask you to treat me to a treat? Brother Xian, please sit down and let me pay the bill."

"No, no, it's better for me to go and give the order. It's all the owner's property. I don't have to pay for it myself."

After the two pushed and pushed for a while, Li Gui couldn't resist him, so he reached out and called the waiter outside the door, "Forget it! Since my dear brother insists on doing this, let the waiter know!"

"This..." Butler Li hesitated for a moment, then said: "Brother, I don't know. How can the waiter take the lead in this kind of matter? I need to explain it to the shopkeeper!"

"Then call the shopkeeper over!" Li Gui waved his hand to the waiter. The waiter understood, bowed and stepped back, and went to invite the shopkeeper.

After a while, the shopkeeper came in from the outside with a smile on his face, crossing his hands and saluting.

"We have some distinguished guests. Manager Li, please call me. Do you have any instructions?"

"Uh..." Seeing the shopkeepers all coming, Butler Li had no choice but to give the order in person: "Brother Li and I hit it off right away, so this meal will be on my account."

"Okay, I understand, please don't worry, Manager Li." After Butler Li agreed, he respectfully stepped back.

Butler Li added: "Brother, sit down for a moment. I'm full of wine. I'd like to go and have a quickie."

"What a coincidence! So and so happens to have to go to the toilet, let's go together!"

Li Gui put his arm around Butler Li's shoulders in front, and the others followed behind, and together they swayed towards the toilet.

After the convenience, they washed their hands and went out, and everyone went to the iron shop together.

Li Gui and Butler Li walked through the city arm in arm, looking as if they were as close as brothers, never separated for a moment.

After arriving at the store, Butler Li asked people to entertain him and then went to pick up the goods.

These things are usually hidden in other places. Only when regular customers come, someone will deliver them to them for them to choose from.

Butler Li wanted to pick up the goods in person, but Li Gui stopped him from sitting and chatting, so he had to let the shopkeeper pick it up in person.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came back with the goods and lined them up in front of Li Gui, allowing him to inspect and select.

Before that, Li Gui was amazed that the Li family was really powerful and could actually obtain such weapons and equipment. However, after seeing the real thing, he realized that the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

He carefully inspected the iron spearheads and paper armor and found that the quality was worrying and could only be said to be barely usable.

This was clearly not something made under the supervision of the Ordnance Supervisor, but a knockoff made by a small private workshop.

But this is a prohibited business and an exclusive sale, so there is really no room for pickiness.

Fortunately, this thing is not for my own use, but for equipment for my subordinates, so it’s almost as good as it is!
Seeing Li Gui checking weapons and equipment one by one, but seemingly not noticing him, Butler Li quietly stood up and called the shopkeeper to the backyard with a wink.
