Beiyang new warlord

Unable to bear the curiosity, the fellow sadly raised a lot of question marks on his forehead, but the old man waved his hands even more eagerly.

"Didn't you know that military master just now? Just now we were too old to make trouble, if it weren't for you, we would have been dragged out and beaten!"

After looking at him three or four times, finally, his old fellow covered his stomach and laughed so hard that he could hardly straighten his waist.

"My brother, what are you talking about! Hahahaha~ I'm so happy, ouch"

"Brother, I'm scared to death, you're still laughing!"

I really couldn't help laughing for a long time, the fellow was supported by the old man and sat down in a small restaurant on the street, and ordered a pot of tea. After finally breathing, the fellow pointed outside and another group was held Said while kicking in circles on the ground.

"That's General Mao's rule. Those who were beaten were refugees who escaped with muddy legs. Originally, General Mao was very generous. The Dakai towns accepted these refugees, but you didn't know that these bastards even got their noses in the face. , occupying General Mao’s port, opening his mouth to ask for this and that, when General Mao gets angry, he just waves his hand and hits!”

"There is a saying that military orders are like a mountain. When our General Mao gives an order, our Mao's army will let go of their hands and feet. In an instant, the vagrants who were still there just now were beaten to death. I can't afford to kowtow, my forehead is swollen, so the general forgives them!"

"From now on, the refugees who fled to Dongjiang will have to be beaten first. This is called knowing the rules!"

That look was so majestic, as if he waved his hand, and more than a hundred thousand refugees were beaten to pieces, but he really imitated it. In this tavern, there was applause. The words of the Beiren were unquestionably bold, with a chin With a neat short stubble, the strong man who seemed to be much tougher than ordinary people slapped his hands while shaking his head at the shopkeeper.

"This man is right, our general is so proud, put a jug of wine and a plate of beef on that table, and take my blame!"

"Don't tell me, sir, you also followed the general to bleed desperately, Xiao Er, serve the wine and meat, count as the store!"

Unexpectedly, once you know the vernacular, you can still have wine and meat to eat. This fellow from Shanxi hastily and excitedly made a bow: "Oh, thank you, everyone!"

"Thank you, thank you, General! If it wasn't for General, how could we have this?"

Listening to the enthusiastic voices around him, Lao Cheng was really surprised and looked around for a few more times, then couldn't help but lowered his head again.

The second reason why he doesn't want to come to Dongjiang is because this is a military town. These days, soldiers are unreasonable, especially a general. How did the old partner who worked together for decades die.

It was the first time for Lao Cheng to see that a place could support the town general like this. It was definitely not exaggerated, it was from the heart, and he was absolutely proud of being a Dongjiang native.

We are old and dignified people in the capital, and we are not proud. You are a poor country, how proud are you?

While thinking about it, he picked up a piece of meat, and Lao Cheng subconsciously stuffed it into his mouth, but just after chewing a couple of mouthfuls, he suddenly vomited it out again like poison.

Wait, what kind of meat is this?beef!

These days, cows are protected like giant pandas. In the customs, killing a cow is a felony of exile. Give me two catties of cooked beef?How dare this shop openly sell beef?

But in front of him, his fellow villagers are all eating with peace of mind, and there are quite a few people around who are eating various parts of cows. So many people are fine, so he can't be the only one who is unlucky, right?He really didn't want to embarrass the people of the capital anymore, so he picked up the spit out beef, Lao Cheng stuffed it back into his mouth, and chewed hard twice.

Not to mention, this is the first time in my life to eat beef, it is really delicious!

The tavern was an episode, which unexpectedly filled the stomachs of the two of them. With the help of that generous soldier on vacation, they successfully found a hotel to stay in. It turned out that the small paper card given by the port was for staying in the hotel. After registration , Lao Cheng quickly stuffed the small card back into his arms.

But this trip, the most important thing is to buy goods! Just now I put my luggage away, dragging the fellow, Lao Cheng impatiently went to the street.

After all, I have been here twice, and this fellow is really not built. In the complex street area of ​​Tieshan Port, he took Lao Cheng three times and two times, and then got into a public carriage. Old Chengdu was confused, but he was still in high spirits Looking left and right, he said that last year there was nothing here, but this year, there is something. After half an hour of tossing and turning, the cloth shop was painted, and it caught the eyes of the two of them.

Clutching Lao Cheng's sleeves, the fellow went directly to the first shop at the intersection.

Here, Lao Cheng finally found a lot of familiarity. The neatly stacked cloth on the shelf, the stacked boards are neat, red, green, blue, and all kinds of cloth patterns. As soon as he entered the door, a face Full of fat, the chubby big cloth merchant greeted him with a smile, warmly clasped his fists and cupped his hands.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Xu? It's been a long time. You've become much more energetic. You made a fortune last year! Ha, there's also this master, who looks like a rich man. He's here, and he's born Fai!"

"Come on, Mr. Zhao, don't bully me. Our small fights can't compare to your big boss!"

This fellow is obviously sincere. Compared with this group of nouveau riche, they are really small shrimps!But when someone gets rich, there is no arrogance of getting rich, which makes people comfortable! The old face is almost smiling, and the shopkeeper Zhao of Dongjiang hastened to call the back chef.

"Tea!"

Drinking hot tea on a cold day is enough to enjoy, but even so, Lao Cheng doesn’t see the rabbits and doesn’t scatter the eagles. He can see the tricks of the rivers and lakes. He comes up and gives you a candied date, and he may beat you a big Bangzi, just took a sip, and he clenched his fists impatiently.

"Boss Zhao, we brothers are here to prepare the goods for the second half of the year. I don't know, can we go and see the goods!"

"Ha, shopkeeper Cheng is really a bold person, but I like bold people, so I won't look at these appearances on the outside, let's get started inside!"

This is a confession. These days, there is no difference between selling cloth and selling fruit. The best ones are placed outside. They have been buying for many years, and some even won’t let you into the warehouse. Bear with it, Boss Zhao is not as bold as a businessman, but it also made Lao Cheng feel relieved.

The shop is not small, and we went back through the backyard to reach the warehouse, which was full of big boxes. The goods were so good that we were not afraid to inspect them, so we stood at the door, and Boss Zhao waved his hand casually, letting Lao Cheng and the others see for themselves. You're welcome, picked up the third box from the inside and opened it, holding the corner of the cloth, Lao Cheng began to ponder.

Look at the cloth also has means, although there is no such thing as acrylic fiber these days, but the weight, thickness, feel of the cloth, and the fineness of the knitting are all deciding whether it is good or bad. Xia Bo, like the thin as cicada's wings of silk, is the top grade, but the old ones sell it to the common people, the servants of various prefectures, and even Jin Yiwei. The thicker the cloth, the better. Only durable.

But this box of green cloth is obviously very suitable for the requirements, the old man couldn't help but nodded, closed the box, and opened the other box of red cloth.

But this time, his complexion changed a little. It wasn't bad, but the feeling was exactly the same as that box of green cloth just now.

These days, cloth is woven by housewives with looms. Since it is produced in a family workshop, the quality is naturally uneven. It is normal for a batch of goods to be good or bad. All batches are of equal quality, which is really rare!

Not to mention him, even his fellow countryman touched the cloth with a look of surprise on his face. After opening the fourth box, Lao Cheng stopped touching it at all, and turned back decisively to Boss Zhao and hugged his fists.

"Just get the goods from here, this batch of cloth, how much money, please tell me!"

The smiling eyes were almost gone, Boss Zhao smiled and gestured a few fingers, and all of a sudden, the mature eyes widened again.

"How many?"

Chapter 348. Succession

"Two or two?"

"Isn't that considered slaughtering? Two coins a horse! Get it now, no one cheats!"

Boss Zhao shook his head helplessly, and raised his two fingers again. With this explanation, the old man's jaw almost didn't drop.And even fellow Xu, who came once last year, repeated it again in disbelief.

"How many?"

No wonder the two of them look like country bumpkins coming to the city, not too expensive, but too cheap! Take "Jin Ping Mei" as an example, Pan Jinlian wants to buy a green jacket, and the cloth costs four cents and five cents a piece. It was still the peaceful years of the Wanli period. Nowadays, the price of this kind of good cloth has already increased to more than one tael. Even the quality of this batch of cloth is so uniform. It is not impossible for Boss Zhao to ask for two taels.Two-thirds cheaper than last year!

"You haven't made fun of our brothers!"

"Hey, how dare I?"

It is estimated that this expression has been encountered too much these days, Boss Zhao nodded helplessly.

"It's two yuan a horse, but regardless of transportation and delivery, you pay money on one end, and you will move the goods on the other end. Watch which box to move that box! How about it?"

"make a deal!"

I'm afraid Boss Zhao will get confused by drinking fake wine for himself, and regret it later, not only is he old-fashioned, but even fellow Xu will immediately poke his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Two hundred and forty taels of silver for the two of them. I thought it would be good to get four or five hundred pieces of cloth. Good guy, I bought more than 240 pieces at a time. It is estimated that the share for the whole year of next year will be enough. I went out to find a car, and the sale was settled on the spot without even haggling.

But after collecting the money, shopkeeper Zhao actually looked relieved, and even laughed and thanked the two of them, which made Lao Cheng almost think that he was a legendary idiot.

He didn't know that Boss Zhao took the price of the goods, and even two bolts of coarse cloth cost a penny, converted into about 50 yuan a piece for later generations, and sold them three-quarters of the profit, not to mention 150 yuan for a piece of cloth, especially It's time to free up the warehouse!
