"Is everything in the fish basket?"
In the back room of the backyard, Liang Laoshi was sitting in a rocking chair, his back straight, looking at Bai Qi seriously:
"Where did you get all those ghost fish?"
As we all know, East Market stores have to deal with vacant stewards.
The person who can really make the decision is not Liang Sanshui, but his father.
Bai Qi was pulled into the back room, facing Old Man Liang, he opened his eyes and said lies:
"I couldn't sleep last night, so I went fishing in the river and picked it up for nothing."
Liang Laoshi's drooped eyelids lifted, his wrinkles relaxed, and he nodded slowly:
"Haha, you picked it up well! My stupid son doesn't show kindness only once or twice. I didn't expect God to really show his power and send you a lucky star like Ah Qi!"
Bai Qi remained silent, waiting for Old Man Liang to make a decision.
Let me ask you, who doesn’t want his son to be successful?
There was a vacancy for the manager of Dongshi Store, and there was no competition before.
On the one hand, it is because Liang Sanshui is too weak and can only make plans and cannot convince others;
On the one hand, Yang Quan pays a lot and is willing to spend money.
You know, twenty ghost-striped fish weighing about two kilograms each cost four hundred taels in silver.
Faced with the wealthy Yang Quan, the Liang family and his son may not be able to get it even if they clear out their entire family fortune.
But things are different now.
A great opportunity is before us, how can we remain indifferent?
“What a pity, I am not like Yang Meng, who is used to managing money, and I don’t have the connections to the young master’s family.
What a waste of your kindness, Ah Qi! "
Liang honestly shook his head, as if extremely regretful.
"this……"
Bai Qi was stunned on the spot. He was also a fish farm thug.
Yang Quan's father can gain access to Shaodong's house, but you can't even get in?
In vain, I thought you were very powerful, old man!
Bai Qi was about to show a disappointed look when he caught a glimpse of Liang Sanshui, who looked calm, from the corner of his eye, and suddenly realized something was wrong.
This old man!
You're kidding again!
"Ahem, Uncle Liang, in this case, I'd better return the ghost-striped fish.
Dad used to say that you have to have backbone as a person. No matter how poor you are, you can’t take advantage of it in vain! "
Bai Qi said so categorically that he almost had the words "righteousness and awe-inspiring" carved on his forehead.
"You kid, you're also a very clever person, so it's hard to fool me.
Let’s end the battle between the two of us here, let’s get down to business. "
Liang Laoshi slowly leaned back on the rocking chair and said with a smile:
"That guy Yang Meng used to be the leader of the guards in Yulan, commonly known as Shuanghuahongguan.
When I was in office, I made a lot of money, robbed people of their filial piety, and my family was much richer than ours.
Yang Quan was able to connect with Shaodong's family, most likely because of his guidance.
I am indeed not familiar with the young master's family, and I am not lying.
It is also true that there is no way to give gifts. "
Bai Qi learned his lesson this time and waited quietly for Old Man Liang to continue.
"But I still have some affection for my employer. Sanshui, you put the things in a solid fish cage and put them in the river to raise.
I'll try to get three more to make it whole.
Then, go to Shuijing Alley, find Uncle Wu, who used to eat with me a few years ago, and ask him to bring a message.
It is said that Liang Laoshi was deeply concerned about his employer's kindness. He knew that Shaodong's family needed to use ghost-patterned fish to practice martial arts and pass the test, so he specially sent it to him.
By the way, please ask someone to do something for you. Don’t come empty-handed. Buy some flower cakes that children like to eat. "
Xu knew that his son was not enlightened, so Liang Laoshi warned him very carefully.
"Dad, I understand this little thing about human nature."
Liang Sanshui smiled helplessly and cast a grateful look at Bai Qi next to him:
"Ah Qi, I won't say any more useless gossip.
No matter whether this thing succeeds or not, you will be my biological brother from now on!
I will get the hundreds of kilograms of medicinal materials in the warehouse for you when I get back.
There is also an old house on Xinyi Street in the outer city, and the title deed will be handed over later..."
Liang Laoshi coughed twice, frowned and interrupted:
"Your father is not dead yet, so you are rushing to recognize your relatives and divide the family property?
Go and come back quickly, we are still grinding here!
If Yang Quan is aware of the rumor and responds in advance, you, the manager, may not be able to succeed! "
Liang Sanshui nodded, strode out in a hurry.
The shop assistants were very surprised. Why was Brother Shui so anxious?
It's like the house is on fire!
"The rest of the gang has left. Let's have a chat. Ah Qi, sit down and have breakfast with me."
Mr. Liang held Bai Qi in his arms with skinny chicken claw-like hands and sat at the front door of the shop.
Liang San's steamed white flour buns, two bowls of meat porridge, and a plate of pickles were placed on the square table.
“As I get older, I eat less and my taste is lighter.
Ah Gou, buy five more big meat buns and a pot of mutton stew to fill your seventh brother's stomach. "
Knowing that Bai Qi was a half-trained martial artist who was honing his strength, Liang Laoshi specially gave him extra food.
"Brother Shui's steamed buns are big, white, soft and delicious. They are really good."
Bai Qi chewed it a few times and felt that it smelled like wheat. The more he ate, the more delicious it became.
“The dozen or so ghost-striped fish kept in the tank are very valuable.
With a few hundred taels of silver, I can't even calm down.
Moreover, it is also related to the important matter of Sanshui's promotion.
Ah Qi, you have given us another great favor. "
Liang Shi drank the meat porridge and said very seriously:
"I know you took risks by doing this.
If you ruin Yang Quan's good deeds, he will definitely be jealous and you will be in trouble in the future.
In order to put Sanshui in charge, you not only gave up the money you got, but also offended the top tycoon in Dongshi.
I remember it deep in my heart and must pay it back, otherwise my life will not be pleasant in the future.
I feel so ashamed when I hear you call me Uncle Liang again! "
Bai Qi, as if he was reincarnated from starvation, ate the large bowl of meat porridge in one go, and then rolled up his stomach with steamed buns dipped in the mutton stew soup.
It was certainly not without reason that he was willing to take the initiative to hand over so many ghost-striped fish to the Liang family and his son in Dongshi Shop.
Liang Sanshui is kind-hearted, and Old Man Liang also has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. There is absolutely no problem in building a relationship to increase his favorability.
The most important thing when trying to find a way out of the world is to have a sharp eye and not recognize the wrong person.
Otherwise, it is most likely to capsize in the gutter!
The better ones can get a bite of prison food;
Worse still, all his property and life were lost.
The first two times, I sent silver sand carp to my door.
After receiving the golden elixir that nourished blood and strengthened strength, he was able to achieve great results. He was also exempted from stall commissions, which made the fishermen at the dock envious.
This is enough to prove that the Liang family and his son are worth getting along with.
"Now in front of you, I know everything. I am not very capable and I am not an expert."
Liang Laoshi narrowed his eyes, his cloudy eyes glowing:
“You should know that the fish farms, firewood markets, and fire kilns in Heihe County all have their own guards.
Recruit strong men and heroes to replace the officials in the county and city, responsible for patrolling the neighborhoods and dealing with theft by refugees.
When I was at my most prosperous, I led a team of people to annihilate water thieves and bandits on the Blackwater River, earning the nickname "The Dragon Leaping from the Cave".
My boxing and kicking skills are so-so, so I can only get started with the second practice.
It only became 'Mercury Blood', not 'Silver Marrow'. "
Bai Qi picked up the big pot of mutton stew, drank the soup full of spicy oil, and then took a meat bun in his hand.
It seems that he is being used as a food source, but in fact, he is using this to cover up his emotional fluctuations.
I'll be a good boy!
Unexpectedly, Old Man Liang led his team to kill water bandits and became famous as a ruthless character!
As a second-level practitioner, you are qualified enough to put up a signboard in Heihe County, open a restaurant, become a master and take on apprentices!
Looking at the skinny little old man, Bai Qi sighed with emotion.
Liang Laoshi is really capable of pressing himself!
"Don't be too quick to be happy, Yang Quan's father is better than me.
Yang Meng is a man of great external skill. He has a bronze head and an iron brain. His physical strength is comparable to that of a galloping horse. He can shoot a four hundred kilogram iron bow.
I once saw with my own eyes that he beat a big buffalo into a pulp with one stick. "
Liang Laoshi always talks in the same way, giving some sweetness and then pouring cold water on it.
Bai Qi had long been used to it. After he finished all five meat buns, he was finally eighty-nine percent full.
The Golden Elixir Great Strength Skill has a remarkable effect in tempering strength, nourishing qi and blood internally, and refining muscles externally.
It just fits the body bones created by Eight-Duan Gong!
"Because you helped Sanshui and offended the Yang family and his son, Ah Qi, I will definitely not ignore it.
I have two ways to get ahead here. Both of them can get rid of the lowly status and earn a good job, so that Yang Quan can no longer find trouble.
One is to join the fish pen, and I will recommend you to join the guard.
You can receive twelve taels of money every month, two sets of powerful clothing, and a medium-level martial arts. If you perform well, you can get precious pills to strengthen your body.
Those who are over forty and disabled are allowed to find a shop for retirement.
If he unfortunately dies in Heishui River, if he has a family, he will be given a pension of twenty taels of silver.
I have some contacts in the Guards and can ensure your safety.
And apart from your humble background, you are on an equal footing with Yang Quan and he can't control you. "
Liang Laoshi tapped his fingers on the table and pointed out a path to advancement that most fishermen on the Blackwater River dream of.
"The reason why many low-income families outside the county save money to join martial arts schools is because they want to become a part of it through the selection of guards in the fish farm, firewood market, and fire kiln."
A river patrol team formed by the fish pen?
Is it half established?
Like an auxiliary police officer?
Bai Qi's eyelids twitched, as if he had eaten and drank enough, and wiped his mouth:
"Uncle Liang, I want to hear the second one again."
