It coincides with the troubled times, the situation is turbulent, the ups and downs, and the usual negligence.A small fishing village can also be transformed into a big Shanghai that is the center of all nations.The prosperous places in the vicinity over the years, such as the ancient capital Nanjing, the affluent Hangzhou, etc. have to come in second place, and it is difficult to compete with Shanghai.

The flames of war are turbulent, only Shanghai is full of fire and flowers, and the livelihood of the people in other small cities is withered, and the people are in dire straits.However, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province still has a scene of peace, thanks to the fact that Ningbo is located at the confluence of the canal, the Yangtze River and the sea, and there is an endless stream of ships transporting people, goods and troops.

Along the canal, the pier and post station are already noisy in the early morning. The merchant ships in the north use this as a relay station. After arriving at the shore, hundreds of coolies waiting for errands on the shore are asked to unload the goods, and then load them on flatbed trucks to transport them to the railway station. Sell ​​to the west or south.If you want to talk about why the north doesn’t use trains to transport goods, it’s because the trains are mostly used by the military, and because of the changing orders of the war, they hide from the main battlefield and at the same time serve the convenience of the war. It doesn't stop, the terminal to go to can be changed halfway!If the goods are to be transported by train, it is not known where the goods will be thrown.Even if it is transported by train, you have to abandon the train to board the ship when you arrive in Nanjing, cross the Yangtze River and then board the train, and the transfer is really troublesome.

The coolies got on and off the boat with their bare arms and carried the heavy cargo. Although it was still early summer and the weather was cool, the coolies were already sweating profusely.Such hard work for a whole day is only enough to earn food for the family for two days.

Although it is hard work, coolies have work to do every day, unlike other professions, if you work today, you will collapse and close the business tomorrow; and with two meals a day, the young and middle-aged people in Ningbo are still willing to work.It's just that the wars in various places are tight. At one time, the national army came to pick up the strong men, and at the same time, the warlords crossed the road and captured some. The number of strong men left in the city is getting smaller and smaller. people, and farming in the countryside is almost done by old people, women and children.

There are fewer coolies, but there is no shortage of merchant ships. The rich and foreign devils need to be hauled by boats and boats. In the past, more than ten boats could be unloaded in a day, but now it takes two or three days.Therefore, the rich merchants and boatmen on the ship often disembark to relax for a few days before setting off again.The business of inns and restaurants in Ningbo City is not bad, but the only ones who are full of people are the "drunken flower shade".

"Zuihuayin" is in the flesh and blood business. Jiangnan women are gentle and carefree, and are very popular with northern businessmen.These businessmen have worked hard on the water for more than a month, and finally set foot on land. The future is smooth, and there are few wars.

At night, the lobby of "Drunken Flower Yin" was buzzing with people, and most of the northern businessmen were familiar with them. In twos and threes, they surrounded the round table with the flower girl in their arms, and ate wine and listened to plays together.At this time, Gentiana chinensis (jiao) will hold many hand-woven garlands, flatter them with sweet words, and sell them table by table.These businessmen, with spare money in hand, like to earn a generous image in front of their peers, and they are willing to be favored by the girls of Bohua, so as to make a limelight, so the price of Gentiana chinensis is not low. If you sell two or three in one night, you can eat it for a few days. drink up.

Gentiana Qin has done this kind of thing like a white wolf with empty gloves not once or twice. Whenever a new batch of merchant ships enter the dock, Gentiana Qin will go outside the city to pick wild flowers and weeds. Those flower girls who can't afford too much gold and silver jewelry like it very much when worn on their heads and hands.

Qin Gentian saw from a distance that the oiran Mrs. Chen was sitting at the main table in front of the stage, and hurried over with a shy face.This Mrs. Chen is the most beautiful and has the best mind. Every time she sells flowers on her table, she will always say a few words about the child's pity at such a young age, so that the wealthy businessmen will throw one or two more Give her the silver dollar.In the entire "Drunken Flower Yin", Gentiana Qin likes this Mrs. Chen the most.

It's not that there are other ways for beggars to covet her to make money, it's just that the big old men among beggars sell flowers in brothels, which makes people laugh; it's not appropriate for women and girls to sell flowers; only "little boys" like Gentiana Going in, it's just that these boys are unlucky with their hands, their mouths are not sweet, and the most important thing is that they don't clean up well. Often before they get close to the nobles, the stench on their bodies or the filth on their clothes make the nobles avoid them like snakes and scorpions. They drove out.So Gentiana Qin still has a monopoly on this industry.

Gentiana Qin is a low-key person. She got money from selling garlands, but she didn't spend it extravagantly. She only took a tenth or two to maintain a clean and healthy life; she divided the rest of the money and hid it in several graves outside the city. They never dare to pick up other people's graves, so they are not afraid of being discovered; they usually live in the Chenghuang Temple outside the city, and only come to the city to earn money after a few days. It turns out that the financial resources of these beggars have not been affected.Coupled with the fact that Gentiana Qin is young and short in stature, the beggars are too lazy to care about children.

Only recently, I don't know where these beggars got to know the price of Gentiana Qin selling garlands, which is much higher than what they wanted, so they realized that they underestimated the worth of Gentiana Qin as a child.Beggars from all walks of life are eager to rob Qin Gentiana's small coffers.Naihe followed her for several days, but she didn't know where Gentiana Qin's spare money was hidden, so she was at a loss what to do.

Of course Gentiana Qin knew that someone was following her, and she wasn't afraid. As usual, she went to the graveyard and quietly stuffed the money bag into the grave when picking flowers every morning.The beggars who followed were unwilling to step into the unlucky and gloomy mass graves. They were far away, so naturally they couldn't see clearly that Gentiana Qin buried things while digging the soil to pick flowers.

It's just that Gentiana Qin doesn't know that people nowadays are too poor, become fierce and vicious, and lawless. There is a second way to see if stealing is not possible-"beating into tricks".

That night, Gentiana Qin walked out of the city happily with the twelve silver dollars she had earned, thinking that she could rest for a few more days this time, when suddenly several beggars covered her face, dragged Gentiana Qin into the alley, and punched and kicked her.Although Qin Gentiana didn't know what happened, but he probably guessed that it had something to do with the money he earned. When the fist landed on his body, it hurt so much, Qin Gentiana immediately begged for mercy: "Ouch, grandpas, please forgive me! Grandpas, what can my grandson do?" That's wrong, you said, what grandpa wants, the grandson will honor you! Ouch, grandpa, please spare me!"

These beggars couldn't eat enough on weekdays, and they were out of breath after a few beatings. Hearing her begging for mercy, they stopped beating and dragged Gentiana Qin by her hair.The corners of Qin Gentiana's eyes were broken, and there was blood mist in front of his eyes. He was obviously a few beggar leaders, staring at her and laughing: "But I have never seen such a spineless little bitch, and my grandpa and grandson screamed before I hit her twice. Very bad." The little beggar next to him echoed, "Aren't you a coward? How can you compare with big brother, a real man!" "Big brother, how do you think you should deal with this red guy?"

Gentiana Qin carefully discerned through the blood mist, and found that this person was the beggar Huatoutou Wang Erxie from the east of Ningbo.

The author has something to say:

After writing 2000 words, the male protagonist has not yet appeared...but in fact, someone related to him has appeared, and he has also appeared in the background, but the female protagonist cannot see him (I feel sorry for Chen Pi~)

Gentiana chinensis (Jiao sound, the same as "Jiao"): expelling wind and dampness, harmonizing blood and relaxing tendons.

Tangerine peel: regulates qi and invigorates the spleen, dries dampness and resolves phlegm.
