Chapter 14: The White Tooth Man

The so-called soap shop feet and teeth should be killed if they are not guilty.

The captain is a boatman, the soap is a servant, the shop is a hotel, the foot is a rental animal to transport goods and passengers, and the tooth is an intermediary.

In ancient times, the boatmen, mostly criminals part-time, often saw the wealth, saw the color of the heart, in the middle of the river to invite the boatmen to go to the dragon king banquet, if the incident happened, the boat ran, to the sandbank island to hide, a year and a half out to continue to make a living.

In ancient times, many of the servants were not established, and in modern times, they were called temporary workers, and the source of wages basically relied on gray income, such as collecting protection money or something.

In ancient times, hotels were not all specialized in human meat buns like Sun Erniang, but stealing guests' things and driving seriously ill guests out of the house were basically commonplace.

The porter is also a person who helps to transport the goods, either he repents immediately after receiving the deposit and does not speak of credit, or he will disappear with the goods, and the people will be gone, and he will occasionally kill himself for money.

As for the tooth man, there are few fatalities in this line, but the tricky energy is first-class and powerful, once he calculates, he can immediately give birth to all kinds of methods. Eating buyers and eating sellers, bullying and dominating the market, abducting and selling women, almost everything.

However, in ancient society, if you want to buy a house, you have to buy people, and you have to do a large business.

Therefore, Jia Cong must find someone with a good reputation, don't ask for honesty and trustworthiness, at least don't be too ruthless.

The small courtyard with blue walls and gray tiles, the bluestone slab is paved in front of the door, looking through the crack in the door, there is a grape trellis in the yard, and a few sparrows are jumping around on the shelf, which is very lively and lovely.

Zhao Guoji jumped out of the carriage, straightened out his newly changed satin clothes, walked to the door, coughed, buckled the door, and asked loudly, "Is the white-toothed man at home?"

"It's here, it's coming. ”

I only heard a woman in it agree, and then scolded: "Erya, where are you hiding?"

Soon, with a squeak, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a rich body, walked out, squinted at Zhao Guoji, and suddenly smiled: "Who am I, it was the brother of the Zhao family, no wonder the magpie just called, it was a rare guest." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned, "Come in and talk." ”

Suddenly, I saw a little girl in a big red shirt, running out of the ear room with a skirt, shaking her head and asking, "Mother, did you call me?"

The woman answered and asked, "Where did you just run?"

The little girl laughed, let go of a hand, and secretly pinched the corner of her clothes: "I watched those newcomers in the backyard practice chopping vegetables." ”

The middle-aged woman pointed a finger on the little girl's forehead, touched the money and handed it over: "It's almost the same to steal food?" Go, go to the braised meat shop at the mouth of the alley, cut half a catty of pig's head meat, go and come back quickly." ”

The little girl got the money, happily agreed, and ran out in a hurry. After sending the little girl away, the middle-aged woman smiled and said to Zhao Guoji: "Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown taller and have been born." ”

Zhao Guoji touched his head and smirked: "The aunt of the Bai family has made a lot of fortune, but I don't recognize it." ”

Aunt Bai took a sip and said angrily: "I don't have a good word to fight my teeth." In the past, in order to feed this big family, I didn't run around the city for a day, but now I'm old, and everything outside is your pillar brother, I only teach some girls and boys at home, and those grandmothers want people to call me, and then take them to people to see, naturally not as good as in previous years. ”

In ancient times, it was not easy to receive dental stickers, and most of them were passed down from father to son, or one person received the stickers, one business, and the scope of business was not very particular.

Jia Cong heard Zhao Guoji say that in this white-toothed man's family, his son works as a real estate agent outside, and occasionally does some cattle and horse brokerage.

The mother used the interpersonal relationships accumulated in previous years to become a human being, and collected some girls from poor families in the countryside of other provinces.

At home, I raised it for five or six months, taught official etiquette, learned some cooking skills, needlework, grinding paper, and then taught literacy and accounting, and then I heard which important person was brought to people to choose.

When she received it, she was only a few bags of coarse grains, and after such a feeding, she had to sell it for more than ten taels or even twenty or thirty taels of silver.

Because the little girl raised by her family is clean and spiritual, and she knows how to do a lot of work, the grandmothers of those families feel that it is affordable, in addition to buying people from her, sometimes they want to buy land and property, and they also call Aunt Bai to come to the door.

Of course, this kind of benefit, the master of Rongguo Mansion can't look down on it, and people who can spend 30,000 taels to buy a play will never care whether the money is spent or not, and the wealth is so upright.

The master of Rongguo Mansion looks down on him, it doesn't mean that the subordinates of Rongguo Mansion look down on him, Zhou Rui's family depends on everyone, these housekeepers who have a face in front of the master, and the family also needs to be served.

They don't buy people like their own masters, they do good deeds to support idlers, they really buy to work, and since the people who buy are agreeable, they occasionally help introduce some deals.

Because they often do the business of these stewards, this white-toothed family is also familiar with everyone in Rongning Erfu, and the subordinates of Rongning Erfu are slightly decent, and they all know each other.

Therefore, as soon as Jia Cong said that he was looking for a tooth man, Zhao Guoji immediately remembered this white-toothed man.

Walking to the front of the steps, Aunt Bai looked at Jia Cong and Jia Huan, and praised them: "These two brothers are so handsome, whose children are they?"

Jia Cong raised her eyes and looked at this white aunt, dressed in fine cloth clothes, cleanly washed, without any patches, ruddy complexion, rich physique, but the flesh is very strong, not simply obese, it can be seen that she usually exercises a lot, and her demeanor is kind, even if she can speak well, it is completely different from the image of a philistine in Jia Cong's imagination.

"This is the brother in the house, follow me out and take a look. ”

Zhao Guoji smiled shyly and answered honestly. Aunt Bai gasped, almost bit her tongue, and said in a trembling voice: "The brother in that house? ”

Seeing Zhao Guoji nodding, Aunt Bai couldn't help but scold: "It's strange that he is so handsome." Brother Zhao, you are also bold. ”

After entering the house and sitting down, Aunt Bai picked two red and big peaches from the offering peaches placed in front of the statue of the God of Wealth on the table, handed them to Jia Cong and Jia Huan, and said with a smile on her face: "I don't dare to take anything else for the two brothers, this peach is from Yongping Mansion, and it can be eaten." ”

Jia Cong took the peach, looked left and right, it was so big, it was almost in time for him to visit a rocket launch base in his previous life, and those space improved varieties were sold around.

Jia Huan took the peach, looked up and said thank you, and stuck out his tongue at Jia Cong: "This peach is so big." ”

Jia Cong made a grimace back, compared the peach in his hand with Jia Bi, and showed off: "This one of mine is bigger than yours." ”

It's a pity that Jia Huan can't hear the sound outside the strings, playing the piano to the cow, sighing in vain, Jia Cong thought melancholy, what a cruel punishment method to stuff the soul of an adult into a young child.

Jia Cong was talking nonsense with Jia Huan without nutrition, laughing and giggling, falling around, but his ears were quietly pricked up, listening to the conversation between Zhao Guoji and Bai Yapo attentively.

Zhao Guoji got straight to the point and directly explained his intention: "I came to the door this time to find a secluded house......

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Bai smiled: "Hey, I heard someone outside that you made a fortune, but I don't believe it, but now I don't believe it." But I thought the original house was small, so I wanted to buy a big one. ”

Rich?

Jia Cong was stunned, his big watery eyes widened a little, he knew that Rongguo Mansion did not have a wind-permeable wall, but Nima's matter had spread too far, did he dare to wait a few more days?

He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Zhao Guoji, his gaze was full of doubts, did Zhao Guoji really do what he said?

Zhao Guoji shuddered unconsciously, and said with a haha: "What is not rich, why don't I know?"

"It has been spread all over the back streets of Rongguo Mansion, saying that you received an errand from the eldest man in the mansion, Ni Er helped run an errand, and when you turned around, you scattered him thirty taels of silver, obediently, thirty taels, enough to buy three acres of good water to irrigate the land. He can get thirty taels, can't you kid get more?"

Aunt Bai smiled and said funny: "Don't pretend you don't know, auntie, I won't ask you how much silver you borrowed." ”

"Wronged. ”

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Zhao Guoji's forehead, and he looked at Jia Cong, as if he wanted Jia Cong to relieve him from the siege, but he only got a white eye that Jia Cong hid behind the peach.

Zhao Guoji's heart was up and down, so he could only bite the bullet and say with a wry smile: "This is wronged me." What kind of person is the eldest master, how can there be no one around him, how can he send me to do errands? It's just that someone else asked me to help, and I went to find Second Brother Ni for the sake of my past friendship. The thirty taels of silver were made by Second Brother Xie Ni. I don't get a penny. Not to mention buying a house, I can't afford it, but I just plan to rent it for a while. ”。
