"Who's Big Brother?! Who is the head? The black man didn't want to confirm that Liu Qi was the head, so he asked, "Either keep both people and money, or people leave money and money, and don't even understand this rule?" If you're traveling with you, say hello! But I don't know what kind of red goods I have taken, and I have to pass by to catch them. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Liu Qi has no experience, he wanted to get close, but he crossed the line, and he knew it was bad when he said this. He moved his steps, thinking about striking first, but seeing that the thief was fierce, he was afraid that there would be no room for relaxation, so he held the hilt of the knife with both hands and worshipped, and said more humbly: "I am their eldest brother, surnamed Liu Qi, nicknamed the black-faced crow!" Big brother's surname? Sit back and listen! β
Immediately, Liu Qi made an invitation, led the black man to his own pile, and shouted: "Come on!" Clear the field, get the wine! β
The black man walked away with a knife, and he didn't seem to believe that Liu Qi could carry a shoulder of people at such a young age, and shouted: "There are so many strongmen in the previous generation that I don't know Lao Tzu, but I still can't imagine that there can be ten thousand people at your age!" β
He saw Liu Qi go to the fire, Li Duocai asked everyone to stand aside, walked over with a big grin, sat on the ground, and pulled a piece of cold dog meat to eat.
Liu Qi asked twice, only to know that his name was Xu Shanhu, nicknamed "Tyrant-eyed Tiger", and he was in this generation, as for the "big name", I don't know if it was blown by the other party. Liu Qi sorted out the leftover meat he ate today, and asked Li Duocai to get some dry food for the brothers under the bandit to eat, and he also took the wine in the other party's hand and drank two sips, and said tentatively: "Big brother! How are you doing? My brothers can't get enough to eat, and they have no choice but to come here, so all they have is these horses and a carriage. Then, he asked Li Duocai to drive the carriage and said: "If the eldest brother doesn't believe it, take a look, I'm a person, I just don't care about money, and I will share half of the eldest brother!" β
He thought that his money was inconspicuous in the carriage, and he said it in his mouth, but in his heart he thought the opposite.
The black man was moved by Liu Qi's righteousness, and said "no" repeatedly, but invited Liu Qi to be a guest at him, saying: "I can trust it." You're also here for the eldest brother, so I should entertain you! I have few people here, and the village and manor can't be gnawed, but in fact, there is no goods, so I may not be better than you. If you don't dislike it, our brothers will take this brew of wine, pay eight worships, and do it together. Don't say anything, you just sit on the second seat, I have a mouthful, no less than half of you! β
Liu Qi was a little dizzy, he really couldn't imagine that the black man would pull him into the gang on the spot.
He hesitated slightly, but saw that the man in black's face changed, and asked, "I don't like brother, do you?" β
Liu Qi shook his head, didn't say anything again, only laughed and patted the other party.
The man in black thought it was affection, and smiled and patted each other with him, and the two patted and hugged each other, and they didn't know if their words and deeds were consistent.
"It's just that I took over the deal, and when I gave people the goods in Changyue, I even fished a horse, I felt that there was a profit, and I wanted to do this business, so that I could have enough to eat!" Liu Qi inadvertently touched his hand to the handle of the knife as he spoke, intending to kill the killer as soon as the other party had his thoughts.
To be a bandit or a dart, in the final analysis, it is just to survive.
The man in black was really interested, and took the initiative to ask: "What kind of deal did you take?" Do you want capital? β
The man in black was really interested.
"Fish! There is a lot of money there, and they eat fish during the New Year. Liu Qi relieved himself and replied, "The profits are large, and the owners give more profits." So there's a trick. If it's not for the friendship with my brother, I will never talk about this way of making money. He asked, "Now you know, right?" Why did I cross the line, it was to transport fish. By robbing homes and houses, the rich can't grab it, and the poor? How many children do the poor have? I can't feed my brothers. Cost? What kind of capital do we want, do we lack people and porters or wheelbarrows? β
"Fish? There are rivers and small lakes in Shaziwan to the south of Mayi, fish ponds are everywhere, and there are close to the port nearby, and the waterway leads directly to Kanto, and the fish is very cheap, and it will be advantageous to transport it to Changyue? The man in black was stunned.
"Big brother is a layman, isn't he? It's cheap there, it's expensive for a long month, isn't it earned? Liu Qi asked rhetorically, "Ma Yi?" I remember it was Li Yi! β
"You don't remember correctly, how can there be any bird place in Li Yi within a radius of hundreds of miles?" Xu Shanhu laughed, and then begged, "Count me in!" β
Of course, Liu Qi didn't refuse, but just asked him to get out of the car.
Xu Shanhu was grateful, and immediately wanted to bow down, cutting his fingers with his disproportionate knife, dripping blood into the wine. Liu Qizhen was afraid that the blood would drip away, the other party didn't count, he took it seriously, he still had to take a knife and cut it, pretending to be for a long time, but he didn't let the blood flow into the wine.
The two of them then picked up soil and burned wood, knelt on the ground and swore an oath, and became brothers with different surnames.
The next day, Liu Qi didn't go to his cottage either, and waited for many of his people to go on the road together.
Along the way, Liu Qi already knew that this trip would inevitably make a lot of money, after all, there were so many thieves on the road, and it snowed heavily, the waterway was not smooth, and the land route was difficult, so at least he had to turn a few more hands.
Can other people get into the fish easily?
As for the fish, he believed there must be. At this time of the next year, people will come to fish, so how can it be out of stock this year?
When they arrived at Shaziwan, many owners really gathered fish and others to buy, and Liu Qi saw that the snow was falling heavier, so he was silent, and the price he gave was surprisingly low.
At first, no one belittled others, but then they were afraid. Several delivery companies, those who came to ask for goods were robbed halfway, and even those who robbed them may be Xu Shanhu's colleague peers. The big guilds, the big businessmen often rely on water transportation, although this season has been cut off, they will not run to grab the pond fish, in the transshipment port goods, the local fish can not be transported, sure enough, cheap prices sell everywhere.
Liu Qi simply rented a place, asked Li Duocai to accumulate ice fish on the spot, and brought the first batch of goods back to Changyue by himself.
Early in the morning of the third day of December, the outer city had just opened, and a fish cart entered Changyue City. Liu Qi didn't care about entering the house, so he mobilized, hired a carriage and Xu Shanhu's people to go back to transport the fish together, and started to make batches. The snow in the long moon is heavier than in the south, and the heavy snow is two or three feet deep for a few days.
Despite the flying snowflakes, people still bring some vitality to the market of Changyue.
But this does not mean the recovery of Jingkang's economy, but only the importance of the Chinese New Year in the eyes of Jingkang people. After the precarious days, people feel the preciousness of the years, which is willing to spend money, and the New Year has placed the yearning to welcome the new year, which has an extremely important meaning in the eyes of ordinary people.
Not to mention the taste of "fish", it represents "more than every year", which is an indispensable New Year's goods for decent people. Yang Xiaoling was happy when she heard that Liu Qi had brought back a large number of fish.
She wanted to persuade her father and mother to go to the city to take over the shop, but her father and mother were both craftsmen and never dared to take over the business boldly, and they were still wandering in the foreground.
Now that Liu Qi is making money, it will be evidence that he convinces them. What's more, she also felt that if her body was given, he earned more than his own earnings, so she stepped back to the city with several women who were urgently mobilized.
Before they arrived in the East Market, they seemed to be able to smell the fishy smell, and when they saw that there were many people in the East Market, and the door was a little crowded, they entered through the small door of the shop.
After knocking on the door, Xiao Ling saw a large pile of frozen fish dumped in the house in front of her, and even in the yard, it was simply a mountain of fish several feet square, and she couldn't help but be shocked by Liu Qi's handwriting.
People from small families, even if they have money, who dares to build a fish mountain.
Although she had some psychological preparations, she still didn't expect that there would be so much, she was worried that Liu Qi would not be able to sell it, and when the weather was hot, all the fish would be spoiled.
"What about Liu Qi?" She asked a man who was busy weighing a fish, and was so busy that he was sweating.
"Him?" The man answered, and then he was interrupted again and put into the quotation money. Xiao Ling glanced at it a few times, and then she realized that Liu Qi actually asked people to use a scoop to calculate, and there was no need to weigh it, which was strange in her heart. But think about it is also relieved, after all, there are very few people who can recognize the scales and settle accounts, and the people who grab fish outside have been swarming, weighing too slowly, and hitting fast with a scoop, the money is paid, a scoop is down, and then it is poured, and the business is done.
She also joined the ranks of the front line of transporting fish, and after being busy for a long time, she knew that Liu Qi was in the East Market, so she wanted to go and see it. When I went out, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find it, and I saw a dense crowd. Someone who knew Erniu next to her said hello to her. She retracted her gaze and asked, "Do you know Liu Qi?" Know where he is? β
"Look over there, how many fish are hanging in the air, and where is he?" Someone else gave her a finger. When she saw that it was a crowded place, she thanked them and cut her hair. After a while, she squeezed to the front, and clearly saw that there were a few bamboo poles propped up there, and a few big fish were hanging on them, and there were big and ugly words hanging on them. She identified it, but saw a few words: "Hanging fish in the market, see the fish to give ten gold!" β
"What's going on inside?" She asked a woman who was watching the hilarity.
"A young shopkeeper asked what kind of meat to buy is more affordable than his fish, auspicious, delicious, can take three kinds of fish to compare, can get money." The woman replied.
"Really?" Xiaoling didn't understand, and said in her heart: "Won't you pay for giving people money like this?" β
So, she asked, "How many people have been awarded?" β
"Not a single one, everyone is thinking!" The woman said, "You have to buy the fish before you can give it a chance, just buy a scoop, you see, there is a crazy rush over there, I want to come out first and then buy fish!" Can you say no? The price of pork is higher than that of his fish, and although it is eaten at the top, it is not necessarily better than fish. Besides, eating fish during the New Year is 'more than every year', and you can't always 'have pigs every year'? What about chickens? It can be said that 'every year is auspicious', but this is only about the same, but it is not comparable. You say, this Chinese New Year, fish is the first choice? β
Xiao Ling put her mind at ease, and said in her heart: "It turns out that I am not throwing money!" β
But when she saw people coming and going, she never squeezed into the inner circle, and only heard the people around Liu Qi shouting loudly. Just when she wanted to go in but couldn't get in, Da Shui took a few people to separate everyone. She hurriedly followed up, and when she saw Da Shui glancing at herself, she smiled back and asked with concern, "Is our mother okay?" β
"What's wrong with you?" Da Shui didn't appreciate it, and asked with a dark face.
"Erniu is also my man!" Xiaoling said, "Don't let your mother eat too much dry rice, she has a bad belly!" Like this day, I'm going to have diarrhea. β
"Yes!" Da Shui said.
While he was still unhappy, a man began to say to Liu Qi, who was sitting on a case: "Pay the tax, the tax of the seventh master!" β
"Who is the Seventh Master? Why do I pay his taxes? The second monk Liu Qizhang couldn't figure it out, and asked loudly, "I didn't hear anyone say that after paying the imperial court, he still has to pay his taxes!" He's bigger than the emperor. β
"Yes, I didn't use it before, but now this is also in the hands of the seventh master of my family, and I paid the money to keep you safe!" The man in the appliquΓ©d halogen dress grinned and reached out for money, like picking up a dung ball behind a donkey.
The Dashui family actually regarded Liu Qi as their own, and the family dispute was a family dispute, but when they came to outsiders, they didn't retaliate, and asked Yang Xiaoling in turn: "Why is Liu Qi?" How does he sell fish? Doesn't he go to the palace? That's a great future...... Didn't his father beat him? β
"He didn't want to go, he hung his name there. A bastard who is bent on doing business and making a fortune. Xiaoling also hates that iron is not made of steel, "But it's not our family's trouble?" The shop is empty, you have to leave the money, the father and daughter of the old Dong family are still raising, he doesn't want to make money, there is no way. β
The water was a little unreasonable, and there was no sound.
After a while, he said again, "Isn't it our mother yet?" People are old and confused, and it is not okay not to follow her, can I not know, when did Erniu have the money to buy dozens of acres of land? It was all given by Liu Qi and his family. My woman is also given by others, and people are not bad, she is just old and confused, do you have a way? Last time, I said that I was also from the army, and I was looking for Uncle Liu to get a background, but she didn't want to, she still held a grudge. β
Xiaoling whispered: "What does she hate? She's not holding a grudge. She knows better than anyone else that if she doesn't let you go to find it, she won't be able to open her face, and she can go if you want. She looked at the people who were arguing with Liu Qiqi, and asked Da Shui curiously: "How can you make Liu Qi pay taxes with you?" You went to the government on an errand?! β
"No, I followed the seventh master, a brother introduced it, and it was the kind that collects money door-to-door." Da Shui said as he went to the front, patted the man who collected the money, and said, "My relatives, can you have less?" Dog yellow? β
"Brother Da Shui?!" Liu Qi called affectionately. He immediately pulled Dashui to sit beside him and asked, "Are you with him?" Don't you know that it is illegal to collect private taxes? If you lack money to follow me, you are guaranteed to make a profit. As for paying the money, Lao Tzu only handed it over to the emperor, and he was the oldest. β
Da Shui hurriedly stopped him with his eyes and looked around vigilantly.
This "Seventh Master" is a hero of the rivers and lakes, the hall is all over Changyue, and the disciples and grandchildren are all martial arts, and it is more difficult to offend him than to offend the official master.
"That's good! Since you know the great water. So many fish, just give ten gold coins, cut it in half. "The man nicknamed 'Dog Yellow' took a look at Da Shui and bought it.
Liu Qi was not familiar with this matter, so he pointed to the words hanging high on his finger and said, "You have seen this and asked for it!" I just won't give it?! Can you still seal my shop like the government? What kind of bullshit seven masters, I'm still a bird. He held a bamboo stick and picked his teeth, ignoring it and being very arrogant.
And the people who set up the table were also a bunch, he sat back, majestic, and his own family members stood behind him one by one, angry and hostile.
Liu Qi found the demeanor of the second uncle, and what he wanted was this feeling, thumbs up and fingered, and showed this "dog yellow" that he was also a strong man.
It's no wonder that he never thought that there would be such a person who would collect taxes by watching people sell things like the government.
Then, he felt Da Shui grabbing him, so he whispered to Da Shui: "It's almost the same for you, we are a family!" What do you want to give to the seventh master, I don't know it, what's going on? β
Da Shui looked at "Dog Huang" a little angry, whispered hello and said, "He doesn't know", lay in Liu Qi's ear and tell Liu Qi what was going on, telling Liu Qi how this "Seventh Master" is rampant in the market, and said that we are also eunuchs, and we talk in private, and it's okay if we don't pay it, but outside, in front of everyone's eyes, if we don't pay, other shops will also look at us, so we have to say hello more or less, indicating that it gives face.
