"I'm laughing at you for being so heartless!" Uncle Hai drank the bean juice in one gulp and wiped his mouth.
"How dare you, a Yun Lao Er and a White Flag Cavalry Commander, touch Hu Lao San's shop? I just said that you were fooling around in Sijiu City. I'm really not looking down on you!"
"Even with your lack of information, you won't be any better!"
"Do you think this Long Live Meal is really Hu Laosan's? Someone has already invested in this store! If you still want to get involved, you deserve it..."
Uncle Hai stretched out his hand and lifted up a piece of red cloth hanging on the wooden beam high in the shed. "Open your triangular eyes and take a good look. What is this?"
When Mr. Yun raised his head, he gasped in fright, "Oh, hey... this, this, this... Hu Laosan, you are harming people. Why are you so high on this baby? You sincerely don't let us see it!"
Hanging on the wooden beam of the shed is a mahogany inlaid plaque half a foot square. This thing is usually placed on the desk by literati. The outside is mahogany and inlaid with some precious jade or porcelain pieces.
But today, there are no cultural relics inlaid in this small mahogany frame. Instead, there is a brand new silver dollar with a dragon pattern inlaid in it, and there is a line of small words next to it.
"I will invest one yuan in shares!" This is actually the imperial pen of Emperor Tongzhi!
Uncle Hai smiled and said, "Young man Yun, just enjoy your time in the capital. What have you been doing these days? Don't you know such big news?"
"Are you trying to steal your ass from Mr. Long Live? You have such a big face!"
Mr. Yun was so embarrassed that his face was almost buried in his neck. "I...haven't I been busy with the funeral of Mr. Liu for the past two days? Both of them have suffered from charcoal gas. It's miserable." Already..."
Throughout the more than two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, the social status of the banner people was always higher than that of the Han people. Especially in Beijing, it was not easy for the Han people to survive!
When doing business in the capital, you have to face countless blackmailers. Even if you are just a bean juice buyer, you may encounter someone who eats Bawang Meal!
And as long as your business improves a little bit, a fishy-smelling shark is guaranteed to come and bite you!
If Hu Laosan had been selling fried dough sticks in an alley all his life, he would have only met a few scoundrels to eat Bawang meals. But today, because of his relationship with Emperor Tongzhi, he suddenly became popular, and he was coveted by many people. Got it!
High-ranking officials and dignitaries, as well as nobles from the Eight Banners, how many people want to eat this gold-lettered sign in one bite and go with the reputation given by Emperor Tongzhi. This store is definitely an old store that will never fail!
But no one expected that Zai Chun had already seen through these tricks during his travels among the people, and knew that these wolves would not let Hu Laosan go. So I, Emperor Tongzhi, just invested a dollar directly!
"I want to see who dares to come and cause trouble in my one-third of an acre of land..."
This one yuan really shocked countless Xiao Xiaoxiao. Hu Laosan has already dispatched four groups of difficult guys from yesterday to today!
Mr. Yun Er is purely short-sighted. The other Eight Banners nobles all know that Hu Laosan has let Mr. Long live take a stake in Hu Laosan's shop, but he knows nothing about it!
This can't be entirely blamed on Mr. Yun. Mr. Liu and his wife from Deshengmen Nei Street died miserably. Mr. Yun went over to help them in the past two days.
After uncovering this, people continued to drink the bean juice. Someone asked Mr. Yun, "How old is the sixth man? Forty years old? He died like this?"
"Isn't it?" Mr. Yun was worried that he had no excuse to change the subject. When he heard that the conversation had reached this point, he quickly said, "Forty-two... Ouch, his mother-in-law came from outside the city. She was crying. How miserable!”
"Why did I hear that the couple died immediately? It is said that their old servant didn't open the door when he called in the morning, but after he opened the door...guess what?"
"Hee hee..." the good-hearted person said with a lewd smile, "These two people are so naked! They died naked on the kang... The doctor diagnosed and treated them and they died immediately!"
"You're going to die soon after you're forty? You're talking nonsense! If you're going to die soon, two people will die? Or are you suffering from charcoal..."
There are so many people with so much free time. A group of people quarreled for a quarter of an hour because of how Mr. Liu and his wife died. At this moment, a person suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Ouch... isn't this Mr. Huang who is guarding Dongzhimen? What are you doing in such a busy morning? You don't even know how to say hello to me?"
The commander-in-chief of Xiao Huang was the night patrol soldier who had been frozen all night last night. He had just sent Xiao Qi'er to the hospital. On the way home to get the money, he was really hungry, so he came here to eat something. .
"Oh... I'm blind. I'm going to pay my respects to you guys and apologize to you. My friend is seriously ill and I need to go home to get some money... I'm really hungry on the way. Please give me some support!"
After drinking two bowls of scalding bean juice, Xiao Huang farted loudly, and he felt that all the coldness in his stomach was driven away by the hot bean juice!
Second Master Yun was angry, but he couldn't hold back his anger and threw the bowl away. "Oh... you really disgust me, don't you? Come here and let me smoke two crispy ones, and this is over..."
That uncle Hai was quite loyal, "Have you taken any medicine today? You beat someone up even though they are trying to interfere with your business. You are quite domineering!"
As soon as he said the word domineering, it immediately hit Mr. Huang's heart. His eye sockets became hot and tears flowed out!
"Ouch... Ouch... I haven't rewarded you two yet, and you're crying?"
Xiao Huang clasped his hands into his fists, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yun... wuwuwu... I offended the prince. I was frozen alive last night. I don't know if I can survive in the future..."
"This little one's miserable life is not worthy of being stepped on by all the nobles. It will dirty your shoes..."
Oops, everyone's eyes lit up and they gathered around. "Have you offended the prince? What's going on? We'll let you go once we make it clear..."
Before Xiao Huang could speak to the boss, one of Uncle Hai's old friends rushed in from the door: "Old and young gentlemen! There was big news last night, do you know?"
"It was more lively than yesterday's fight at Donghua Gate! Fifth Master and Cheng Beile were fighting... Oops, isn't this Mr. Huang? You saw it with your own eyes!"
Xiao Huang feels so aggrieved that he wants to pour out the bitterness, and also wants to disgust those two bastards Yi Pei and Zai Cheng.
"Don't mention it... I'm still a slave and I don't know how to serve you. I've made the prince angry..."
As a result, Xiao Huang, who was so angry with the boss, told him about last night's incident in a more embellished way. He talked about the details in a very emotional way!
"Then Mr. Cheng Beile, with two plum vases in his hands, rushed out like a pair of hammers...guess what?"
"What's going on? Tell me quickly..." There were heads all around.
"What else could I do? I didn't even wear pants underneath, so I ran out naked..."
"Hahaha...Cheng Beile just rushed out naked? Is Sai Shishi naked? Do you think he is naked..."
"Hey, gentlemen... It's hard to say this without getting a needle's eye... Do you think it can be wiped out?"
Hahaha... There was a lot of joy in the shed. These Eight Banner idlers were really happier than during the Chinese New Year!
