Chapter 771 Entering the Dock

At the morning tea stand, Jiang Han was eating fresh meat wontons.

The shopkeeper took a spoonful of boiling meat with an iron spoon and poured it on top of the wontons.

Jiang Han was eating when a familiar figure came and sat across from him. The person who came was the student, Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei yelled: "Boss, let's have some wooden ravioli too!"

"Okay!" The shopkeeper started to get busy again.

And Zhang Wei glanced at Jiang Han, and said with a smile: "Why, who provoked you?"

"You appear in front of me so aboveboard, are you not afraid of being discovered by Zhanmeng people?" Jiang Han rolled his eyes at him.

Zhang Wei picked up the chopsticks and added a slice of tofu from the small plate in front of Jiang Han: "It's okay, my real identity is a reporter, a reporter from Yongxin Daily."

"Cut... I was assigned to be Lin Chunlan's bodyguard." Jiang Han shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Wei patted the table: "What a job!"

"What an errand! With Lin Chunlan, what information channels can I have?"

"You are stupid. Lin Chunlan is the leader of the Cao Gang. The water transportation of the Cao Gang extends in all directions. It is one of the big gangs attached to the name of the Zhanmeng. Moreover, blood tea can only be circulated in the Golden Islands through water transportation!" Zhang Wei said excitedly .

At this time, a large ship appeared in the sky, and that flying large ship was familiar to Jiang Han.

Isn't this the original Heixuan Battleship?

Zhang Wei also narrowed his eyes, looking at the big ships in the sky, he said: "These are the spaceships, and water transport is transported between the islands through these ships."

"Blood tea leaves have nothing to do with me. I still have things to do." Jiang Han put down a piece of ocean, drank the wonton soup in one gulp, turned around and left.

"Hey! You..." Seeing Jiang Han leaving, Zhang Wei couldn't help shaking his head.

The shopkeeper exclaimed: "Guest officer, I haven't given you any change yet!"

"Just find me, we are together." Zhang Wei said.

"Hey, come on!"

……

Another pier.

Jiang Han seems to have always had a close relationship with the dock.

In his previous life, Jiang Han rented a house next to the pier, and he could see boats going back and forth to the bend of the river every day.

Later in Jiangcheng, Jiang Han ran a pier by himself.

When he became the prince, Jiang Han commanded all the docks and vigorously developed the shipping of Dayan Kingdom.

It seems that the word wharf has always been associated with Jiang Han.

Arriving at the gate of Caobang's wharf, Jiang Han looked up and found that the rudder port of the wharf was actually on a high tower, and the cargo ships were loading and unloading in the air.

This magical scene made Jiang Han a little confused and couldn't believe it.

He also had this kind of idea, but he gave up because the technological level of the lower realm was not enough.

"Jiang Han, Grandma has been waiting for you for a long time, you should hurry over there." A person who looked like a maid came over and said.

Jiang Han nodded, glanced at the busy workers around, and followed behind the maid.

The servant girl led the way to the back door of an elegant courtyard, and asked the servant to open the door for Jiang Han.

On the second floor, Jiang Han saw Lin Chunlan who was getting dressed in front of the dressing table.

Lin Chunlan saw Jiang Han, and she glanced up and down Jiang Han with her charming eyes: "It's finally here, looking forward to the stars and the moon, I feel that asking you Jiang Han to be my bodyguard is really harder than climbing to the sky."

"Grandma misunderstood, I was surprised by the magnificence of Caobang Wharf, which delayed some time." Jiang Han had to find an excuse.

Lin Chunlan smiled, and she said, "Okay, I have to go shopping in the city, so you can come with me."

Hearing this, Jiang Han's face became serious, and he said, "Sister Chunlan, it's very dangerous, you know..."

"Do you think I don't know? In fact, I knew it a long time ago. In fact, in the assassination in the big world, their target was not my husband." Lin Chunlan laughed, her smile was a little more self-deprecating.

Jiang Han frowned: "Since you know, why..."

"Why? Heh... When I, Lin Chunlan, debuted, there were no three tycoons in the Golden City. At that time, Huang Dalong founded Zhanmeng, and I was the largest shareholder." Lin Chunlan held a bong in her hand, and she said, "Go out for a while, I have to change clothes."

Jiang Han didn't know what the hell this woman was doing, but he obeyed and quietly left the room.

Not long after, Lin Chunlan dressed up and came out.

At this time, Lin Chunlan seemed to have completely changed her temperament.

Wearing a water-green printed brocade cheongsam, wearing a red fox scarf, wearing leather boots of the same color, and a silver-white rabbit fur trench coat, with a simple bun on his head and an eight-treasure emerald chrysanthemum hairpin. , Like a floating cloud floating slowly.

In the corridor, the bright lights outlined her delicate face, exuding a faint soft light, smiling delicately, she could only feel the jade face and hibiscus, and her bright eyes were shining brightly.

The appearance at this time even surprised Jiang Han.

Lin Chunlan threw a small bag to Jiang Han: "Hold it for me, let's go."

"Yes." Jiang Han said helplessly.

When the two of them went downstairs, Jiang Han saw the person who was carrying the goods. His temperament was so slippery that the worker even fell to the ground with the goods.

At first glance, the sack was also torn, and a lot of red tea leaves spilled from it.

Jiang Han frowned, because he knew it was blood tea.

"What are you doing!" A foreman walked over and kicked the worker.

The worker quickly apologized and continued to carry the bag.

Jiang Han sat next to Lin Chunlan, this is a car powered by Jieyuanjing.

The main driver was a middle-aged man, he said, "Ma'am, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the Red Leaf Teahouse first," Lin Chunlan said.

"Yes." said the driver.

The car kept bumping, but Lin Chunlan's eyes were like silk, and she looked at Jiang Han with a smile. Those charming eyes swept up and down Jiang Han's body, as if she could see Jiang Han clearly, inside and out.

Jiang Han felt that the gaze was too aggressive, so he turned his gaze away.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chunlan opened a corner of the cheongsam, and then placed the slender, fair legs on Jiang Han's lap.

Jiang Han hurriedly said: "Sister Chunlan, this is not good..."

"I heard that you have no other hobbies but women and gambling. Why... I'm also a woman, so you're so afraid of me?" Lin Chunlan laughed.

Jiang Han wanted to move Lin Chunlan's leg away, he said, "This is different."

"You are my bodyguard, so you have to rely on me for whatever you do. My legs are a little sore recently, so please rub it for me." Lin Chunlan's voice was soft, but charming, which made Jiang Han feel uncomfortable .

"Yes..." Jiang Han could only use his hands to pinch her calf, but Jiang Han is not good at massaging.

Chapter 772 Blood Tea

Lin Chunlan seemed to enjoy Jiang Han's technique very much. When Jiang Han massaged her legs, she did not forget to tease Jiang Han with her toes.

In fact, Jiang Han had an impulse in his heart to grab Lin Chunlan's ankle and throw it out the car window.

After all, this little girl is too rough.

But Jiang Han knew his ultimate goal, no matter what, he still suppressed his inner reluctance.

When Jiang Han came to the teahouse, when he saw the situation in the teahouse, he had some feelings about the Zhang brothers and sisters.

Because in the teahouse, there are people drinking blood tea everywhere.

This street is an old street, surrounded by teahouses, which can be seen everywhere. In addition to teahouses, there are also many restaurants, hotels, and bathing pools. According to Lin Chunlan, blood tea is also sold in these places for people to rest. .

Blood tea has penetrated into almost all walks of life.

Of course, like many industries, this teahouse is also divided into three or six grades. High-end teahouses have a grand appearance, interior decoration, furnishings, and luxurious and beautiful furniture. all available.

When the guests drink blood tea, there are special waiters to serve them. They can order food and drinks, and even ask girls to serve them, such as sitting in hot water, or doing tasks such as beating their backs and shoulders.

The Sanzao is a large room with separate beds and small tables next to it, which can also be used to order wine and meals. There are also waiters squatting and serving tea for guests, but it is not so comfortable compared to the private seats.

Mid-range teahouses have copper or wooden beds for guests to lie down and drink blood tea, but there are no waiters. If the guests are not too messy, they can also order wine and rice. At that time, there were the most such teahouses outside the front gate of the Golden City.

Low-end teahouses are shabby and messy, and the dark room and stale air are absolutely unacceptable to normal people.

Lin Chunlan said that in the Golden City, opening a teahouse is an extremely lucrative industry, and it can be said that it is making a lot of money every day, but not everyone can open it. A group of people, they are inextricably linked with local officials, and to put it bluntly, they all have backers.

As long as the foreign adults give enough money, they usually turn a blind eye.

Of course, if ordinary people open teahouses, it won't take long before they can't keep going and close down.

The place with the most teahouses in the Golden City is a few alleys outside the main city gate. This place is not far from the Great World, and there is an accommodation area next to it.

Therefore, many women who come off work from the big world, sometimes if their pockets are tight, they will come here to make tea for others to earn extra money.

People like Zhang Manman naturally don't need to come here, she is an oiran and a popular actor, and she is not short of money.

The blood tea leaves in the teahouse are all handled by wholesalers. These people who wholesale tobacco and earth have legal livelihoods as a cover on the surface, and have a close relationship with the local police, and they all have a unified signboard, which is the battle of the three tycoons. Alliance as a cover.

Lin Chunlan glanced at Jiang Han, and she said, "This teahouse of ours is not only for people to drink tea, but also for supply. If customers want smoke and soil, my staff will deliver them to the door."

"Most of the people who drink tea are locals. Although there are foreigners, there are only a few of them. Sister Chunlan doesn't feel like doing such a thing..." Jiang Han slapped sideways.

Chunlan smiled and said, "Will I feel ashamed? Don't make a fuss...Drinking tea is a kind of fashion nowadays. From the high-ranking officials and aristocrats of the foreigners, to the ordinary people of all walks of life, they drink tea." It has already become an indispensable item in the social field. When you go to talk about business and build relationships with people, you often invite them to a teahouse and talk about things while drinking blood tea, just like inviting guests to dinner today, but you don’t drink it. Tea, people will think you are sick."

The shopkeeper of the teahouse next to him was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He said with a smile, "Madam is right, but this business is still for income. To put it bluntly, you must have money in your hand! When you have money, the owner of the teahouse The boss regards you as a guest of honor, and is respectful. Once you run out of money, I'm sorry, but you will be kicked out, and you will never be soft."

"Urine." Jiang Han said against Thumbs up during the summer vacation.

Lin Chunlan was walking ahead, and a group of people around them were drinking tea listlessly, so she also explained.

It is said that some upper echelons and some literati in the Golden City are very addicted to tea, but it is inconvenient to go to teahouses, for fear of losing their identity and face.

So these people's homes have prepared tea and tea sets for themselves or guests to enjoy at home.

When rich people come to have guests, if they don’t provide tea sets for the guests to enjoy, they will be considered by others as a lack of etiquette and a lack of hospitality.

These people's homes have high-quality blood tea leaves. It is said that the production process is complicated and delicate, and the people under Lin Chunlan's hands will also deliver them to their door on time.

Once this blood tea is addictive, it is absolutely difficult to quit, and most people cannot do it.

When the tea addiction started, saliva, nasal mucus, and tears flowed all at once, yawned constantly, the whole body was weak, sallow and emaciated, like a sick ghost.Once these people have no money to drink tea, in order to make money to buy tea, they often use unscrupulous means.

Starting from the sale of property, until the bankruptcy of the family, selling children and daughters, and finally having nothing, fending for itself.

After brewing a cup of blood-colored tea, the shopkeeper said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, why don't you take a sip?"

"Let's talk about it later." Jiang Han said.

But at this moment, a man in ragged clothes came to the door of the teahouse. The man scrambled and scrambled, and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Zhao, shopkeeper Zhao! Give me a sip of tea, take a sip! Tea dregs are fine too!" !"

"Fuck you, last time you bastard owed me five oceans and you haven't paid me back, and now you want to come to pay me on credit again?! Someone, throw him out with a stick!" the shopkeeper cursed.

A few guys came up, just like catching chickens, picked up the man and threw it outside.

Let that man play and roll, but the people around him just ignore him.

"Those women are." Jiang Han said.

It turned out that in a corner of the teahouse, a few women tied their hands and feet, bowed their heads on one side, looking very nervous.

One of the middle-aged women curled up in the crowd with a seven or eight-year-old girl in her arms.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "They are the family members of tea customers. They can't afford tea, so they mortgage their children and mother-in-law here, and return the half-baked tea. Of course, if the principal and interest are not paid within the limited time, then we We had to send them all to the dark alley."

dark alley...

Jiang Han knew about it. After all, when he went to the home of the young master, one of the Thirteen Taibaos, he passed through that alley, and there were some miserable women in it.

Chapter 773 Man Yuanchun and Lin Chunlan

The shopkeeper handed over a stack of bank notes: "Boss Lin, look, this is the income for this month."

"Okay." Lin Chunlan counted the bills and nodded, "Very good, how about the other teahouses recently?"

"The people in the Bagu Teahouse are dissatisfied recently, saying that our people have robbed them of their livelihood, and they sent people to make trouble a few days ago." The shopkeeper said.
