"You bastards, let me guard the door! No one can leave until I say something!"
Yi Pei hugged Master Sai and walked towards the inner house, smelling of wine. How dare this little boss disobey the prince's order and sneak to the gate one by one like his grandson, freezing into dogs in the northwest wind!
"It's cold... it's cold... why is the wind getting stronger and stronger tonight..."
"I...I mean, boss...what should I do? It's already past my time. If I continue like this...I'll freeze to death!"
Beijing, a city without industrial pollution, is so cold in winter that the urban heat island effect has no trace!
These days, those who can afford to burn clean coal are middle-class people, and those who can afford to burn charcoal fire plates are rich!
The wealthier new-school families also buy a few cast-iron match stoves made in the special zone, while ordinary families buy some loose coal noodles and mix them with some loess and mud to make coal!
The remaining families who can't even afford loose coal noodles can only go to the streets to pick up the leftover coal cores burned by others!
If you can't even get into the slot to pick up coal cores, then don't say anything and go freeze by yourself!
In the second half of the night, even the people in the house didn't dare to say it was a waste of fuel. They all got into bed and fell asleep, let alone the soldiers patrolling the city on the street!
On a normal day, walking or running on the street can keep you warm. If the investigation is not very strict, you can hide and be lazy or something.
But today, Yi Pei was sent to the door to look at the door. The northwest wind swirled around the alley and howled, and the cold wind blew into the doorway three times before blowing out.
These ten unlucky guys had never experienced such a cold winter in their lives. None of them dared to walk or stand still. They were all huddled in the doorway like stray dogs, their bodies crowded together to keep each other warm.
"Boss...this can't be done. Please let us go, please!"
"The jealousy between their uncles and nephews has nothing to do with us..."
"Everyone... stop talking... just have some strength left... Your Majesty ordered us to guard the door, who dares to leave!"
"Who told us that we are all members of the Han Army...A little finger can crush us to death, just like squeezing ants to death..."
The weather is getting colder and colder. After midnight, the temperature drops like a cliff. I don’t have a thermometer at hand. If I had an estimate, it would be 17 or 18 degrees below zero!
Xiao Qi'er, the youngest, could no longer open his eyes and kept dozing off. The veteran beside him quickly poked him awake, "Don't sleep, come inside us!"
"If you fall asleep, you will really freeze to death... Everyone, give way and let the children stay inside to avoid the wind!"
"What kind of world is this! Don't let the poor live..."
Xiao Qi'er was stuffed in the middle by the veterans, and they used their bodies to protect him against the cold wind of winter!
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly the door behind the big guy creaked open a crack, revealing the face of the old janitor hired by Master Sai.
"Several military masters..." The old gatekeeper said in a low voice, "Our girl has just served the prince to bed... I am afraid that you will freeze, so I asked the old man to send me some quilts!"
"You guys gather around to block the wind... I haven't seen such cold weather in how many years!"
"Thank you, brother, thank you, Miss Sai Shishi..." The grateful tears of these soldiers patrolling the city froze into ice beads and crackled down.
Four old quilts were handed to them, and ten people surrounded themselves into a yurt, blocking the entire doorway. With the warmth of these quilts, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Several military masters... I will collect them early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, if the prince sees it, God knows whether he will punish you again..."
"Thank you, brother Gaoyi..."
We finally got through the night, and the two of us stayed up until the next day in a daze. The door to the competition hall finally opened again, and the two bearers following the prince walked out proudly, "Your Majesty." Raise your hands, I'll spare you...get out of here!"
He also threw a handful of silver dollars and they were rolling around on the street!
I can't even bend my legs, but I still have to kowtow to express gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward, thank you, Your Majesty for your reward..."
After finally passing the level, the soldiers helped each other stand up and stamped their feet to stimulate blood circulation. But at this moment, someone exclaimed, "Ouch... Xiao Qi'er has a high fever! It's boiling hot!"
As expected, people said, "Look for a doctor quickly... No, no, no, go to Dongjiao Minxiang. There are foreign doctors over there who are good at treating colds!"
People carried Xiao Qi'er and hurried south, turning their heads and looking at him with hatred, "Sooner or later, God will take you in..."
There are no secrets in Sijiu City. What happened last night spread quickly throughout Sijiu City. At six o'clock in the morning, when there were first people on the streets, the apostles in the streets and alleys began to take action.
At the entrance of Xila Hutong in Dong'anmen, Hu Sanshu Bean Juice has become the latest popular shop in the capital. According to Xiao Letian's previous life, it is the shop where Internet celebrities check in!
Emperor Tongzhi drank a bowl of bean juice, two burnt rings, and spicy pickles from Uncle Hu Sanshu. This set of food that ordinary people eat most has become Uncle Hu Sans signature!
"Lao Hu...have a bowl of Long Live Set Meal!"
"Okay...a long live set meal, send it to Mr. Yun..."
"Lao Hu, two long live set meals..."
"Two copies will be ready soon... send them to Uncle Hai and Brother Zhang..."
This Long Live Set Meal is not just a random call, it was given by Emperor Tongzhi himself! Who dares to use the word long live without the emperor's permission?
In just one day, Hu Laosan built a huge colorful shed in front of the store and purchased a large number of tables, chairs and benches. He had to sell thousands of copies of this long live set meal from morning to night every day!
"Hu Laosan! Your business is really good. You are lucky enough to make money. Will you be able to open a store next year?"
"Thank you, Mr. Yun, for your kind words, and thank you, Mr. Long Live, for your grace, haha, hahaha..." Hu Laosan smiled honestly.
The corner of Mr. Yun's lips curled up, "Let's discuss it! How about buying a share in the deal with me, Mr. Yun? I promise not to bully you. I'll use the house in the ** mansion in the north to buy shares and let you open a shop. I'm a third-income person." The yard!”
With a puff, Uncle Hai who was sitting next to him smiled, "Young Master Yun! You are really not that good at it. You don't even know the news about Sijiucheng? Do you still dare to invest in Uncle Hu's deal?"
"Ouch! Looking down on people? What do you mean, Lao Hai? I'm bullying people when I invest in store real estate? Why don't you ask around? As long as all the business shops in the capital are opened by Han people, there will be no one who doesn't spend three Divide cadres into shares and find our banner people as backers?"
"How many people don't pay a cent of money and still occupy shares in vain? I am already benevolent and righteous by investing in a store! Hu Laosan... you have been selling in the capital all your life, so you don't understand these rules. Bar!"
Hu Laosan's face turned pale with fright, "Master... Masters, I understand the rules... but I can't make the decision on this matter!"
With a bang, Mr. Yun slapped his palm on the table. "Fart, you can't make the decision in your shop? You are clearly looking down on me!"
"Believe it or not, I smashed up your shop, so shameless..."
"Hahaha..." Uncle Hai and the old guest from Mr. Yi's banner all laughed. They smiled so happily at Mr. Yun that they looked at him like an idiot.
This burst of laughter made Mr. Yun laugh so hard, "You...why are you laughing?"
