As the sun slowly sets and night falls, a large number of lights are lit on Oiran Street, illuminating the entire street.
Oiran Street is just an elegant name during the days of choosing Oiran. On weekdays, it is called Hualiu Street. It is the street with the most brothels in Sioux City and the main place for men to have fun.
At the end of Oiran Street, a flower stand has been set up. The flower stand is divided by bamboo fences wrapped with flowers, and each area is numbered.
Although the Oiran competition has not started yet, both sides of the Oiran Street are already full of people. They are waiting and talking at the same time.
"It is said that the rules of this year's Oiran Competition have been changed. Who knows what the rules have been changed to?"
"The newspaper said that in order to increase the audience's sense of participation, there will be no referees in this oiran competition. We, the audience, will vote for the oiran."
"The votes are divided into copper flowers, silver flowers, and gold flowers. You must buy them before you can vote, but the price is not expensive. You can buy one copper flower with only one copper coin."
"From this point of view, it is indeed much fairer than before... Take the previous one as an example, what qualifications does Zhang Yueru have to compare with Fairy Qiluo? The oiran should be Fairy Qiluo."
"Fuck you, that slut Yun Qiluo is not as good as a hair of Fairy Yueru. She will never want to be an oiran."
Fans of Fairy Yueru and Fairy Qiluo were both anxious and rolled up their sleeves to start a fight.
"Are you two looking for death?"
The bystanders quickly stopped the two of them and said in a deep voice: "This Oiran Competition not only has rules, but also public security management and punishment regulations. If you get into a fight, not only will you lose your qualifications to vote, but you will also be arrested by the government."
Although Jiang Yifeng hosted the Oiran Competition to make money, he did not want to cause security problems, otherwise it would be difficult to host it again in the future.
Therefore, he asked the county governor to give him some powers within the scope of the 'regulations' and let him maintain law and order during the Oiran Competition.
The county guard also counted on Jiang Yifeng's one million taels of silver, so he naturally gave him the greatest help and directly lent the county captain to him.
It should be understood that the county lieutenant is in charge of the military power of a county and can easily recruit thousands of soldiers.
"snort!"
Both sides snorted coldly and exchanged a few cruel and unnutritious words.
at the same time……
In the restaurants on both sides of Oiran Street, there are members of various major families.
They don't wait on the street like ordinary people, but choose a restaurant next to the street to eat delicious food and drink fine wine.
However, there are also differences between families. The best location near the flower terrace belongs to the top families in Sioux City.
That is, the Zhao family, the Song family, the Wang family, and the Su family.
Of course, none of the four families spent any money, because the restaurant belongs to the Wang family.
Wang Zhilou took a sip of wine, looked at the banners hanging on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but said to Su Yingxue: "Miss Su, Mr. Jiang is really powerful. I didn't expect that he could use the Oiran Competition to make money."
Su Yingxue said modestly: "He just makes a little money, how can he compare with the Wang family."
"Little money?"
Song Shoucai, who was eating like crazy, stopped what he was doing and said, "Miss Su, Mr. Jiang is making a lot of money. I've calculated that he will earn at least one hundred thousand taels of silver for hosting this oiran competition."
Zhao Xu shook his head when he heard this, "Not just one hundred thousand taels, but at least one hundred and fifty thousand taels."
Listening to what the two of them said, Su Yingxue just smiled and said nothing.
Because Shishi told her that Jiang Yifeng would earn at least two hundred thousand taels of silver by hosting this oiran competition.
Although she didn't know how Jiang Yifeng did it, she was really shocked when she heard this number.
In her eyes, this is just an ordinary oiran competition. How could it be possible to earn so much money?
However, Shishi said it herself, so she had no reason not to believe it.
"correct!"
At this moment, Song Shoucai asked in a low voice: "Has the county governor sent you greeting cards in recent days?"
After hearing this, the four of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"What does the Sheriff want from you?"
After Song Shoucai finished speaking, he explained, "I felt that he didn't have good intentions when he came to me, so I found various excuses to shirk it and didn't go at all."
"You are so bold."
Wang Zhilou couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard Song Shoucai's operation.
The Wang family is in the restaurant business, so naturally they have to be well-rounded and don't dare to offend anyone.
"Afraid of him."
Song Shoucai looked unconcerned and continued: "This year he will have a big plan review. If he is successful, he will be promoted, if he is not successful, he will be demoted. Even if he continues to stay in Jiujiang County, I will at worst prepare a generous gift to apologize, and he can't take me How about it."
A generous gift?
It’s a stone again!
Zhao Xu complained in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "The head of the Song family is in charge of the food of the entire Jiujiang County, so the county governor naturally has to give some face. We are far inferior to you."
Song Shoucai chuckled, "Okay, don't flatter me. The county magistrate just doesn't want to see me as a miser. He's not really afraid of me."
Wang Zhilou said jokingly: "So the head of the Song family knows that he is stingy?"
"hey-hey……"
Song Shoucai smiled evilly, "Stinginess has its own benefits. The Song family has saved a lot of money over the years. Furthermore, I have done some embarrassing things and can be easily forgiven."
"..."
When Wang Zhilou and Zhao Xu heard this, they were suddenly speechless.
Because for the first time, they discovered that the apparently fussy head of the Song family was by no means as simple as others imagined.
He pretends better than anyone.
Right!
If one person is just stingy, it is absolutely impossible for the family to grow to its current size without arousing the disgust of other families and county guards.
"Is this what Jiang Yifeng calls Beibo's law?"
Su Yingxue was shocked as she listened to the conversation between the three of them.
The so-called Beibo's law means that after a person experiences a strong stimulus, the next stimulus will become insignificant to him. From a psychological perspective, the first big stimulus dilutes the second small stimulus.
At that time, Jiang Yifeng gave him an example...
If a good person has done good things all his life and suddenly does a bad thing, we will say that this person is a bad person. But if a bad person has done bad things all his life and suddenly does a good thing, we will say he is a good person.
The reason is that if a good person does more good things, other people will think that he should do it, thus losing the excitement, which is not as great as the excitement of doing bad things.
In the same way, Song Shoucai has always been stingy, and over time no one has the same knowledge as him.
The problem is, he is not stingy all the time. Sometimes he will suddenly be generous, which makes people feel disgusted.
When she thought of this, Su Yingxue couldn't help but look at Song Shoucai a few more times.
If Zhao Xu is regarded as a beast that eats people without spitting out bones, then Song Shoucai is a venomous snake that does not appear to be dangerous but is highly venomous.
really……
These three old foxes are not simple.
