Chapter Fifty-Eight: Three Carts of Charcoal
Xiaoximen of Fengtian City, a group of out-of-town traders came on this day. The peddlers drove three two-horse carts, loaded with charcoal, www.biquge.info the peddlers. I don't know who sent carbon to anyone, or if it was pulled into the city to sell.
The leading vendor is very good at coming, and when he went to the city gate, he saw that the puppet army guarding the city gate was coming to check, and quickly took out two packs of cigarettes from his arms, "The boss is working hard, the boss is working hard, let's smoke a cigarette to relieve fatigue." I couldn't help but say, and stuffed two packs of cigarettes directly into the pockets of the puppet army.
The puppet army was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at the three carts of charcoal and hesitated a little, these three carts can get a lot of money, and two packs of cigarettes as a bribe seem to be a little less. But let's talk about inspection, this thing is black, and when you touch it, your hands are black, and you have to rub it black on your clothes.
The vendor rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand into his arms, and when he took it out again, he already had a few more bills. This technique is almost catching up with the magic. "It's really cold this day, the boss got off work and went to buy a bottle of old wine to warm up, don't let the cold catch a cold."
That's pretty much it. The puppet army was quite satisfied, and turned around to look at the devil. In addition to the puppet army, there are also devils here, and he has to ask Taijun's opinion for such a thing as three carts of charcoal. Although the vast majority of Taijun "respected" his opinion, it was indispensable to ask for instructions.
Who knew that the devil was interested today, and he came to the carriage with a rifle on his back.
"Taijun, Taijun, this smoking man works." Taking other people's soft hands and eating other people's mouths is short, and the puppet army is both cigarettes and banknotes just now, so he doesn't want to make it difficult for the devils to embarrass these three carriages.
"Yo Xi Yo Xi." The devil agreed, took off the rifle and put it in his hand, "clicked" the bayonet, swung it forward, and stabbed it with a "bang" of wood.
Charcoal is harder than wood when it's burned. It doesn't take much effort to tie the wood with a bayonet, but it is not so easy to tie the charcoal. The devil once pierced the knife through the gap between the two charcoals, and he couldn't pierce it after not entering much.
The puppet army's heart trembled, this guy won't be annoyed and angry, right? Who knew that the devil "bang" stabbed twice, turned around, went to the next carriage and raised the bayonet to continue to stab. Rolled all the wood on the three carriages in a row, and waved his hand, "Open the way!" "He let this devil go!
The coachman hurriedly shook his horsewhip, "Oh, oh, oh." The cart started and passed through the small west gate smoothly. The crowd that was blocked at the back swarmed in, and the congestion at the city gate was immediately lifted.
The cart was pulled directly to the Fengtian open-air trading market, and the drivers got out of the car, and the vendors stood together to smoke and chat, and no one shouted to do business. Of course, it is now the day of the moon, and high-quality charcoal is not worried about selling at all. Even if the vendors didn't shout for business, it didn't take long for several groups of people to inquire about the price of the charcoal.
The price offered by the vendors seems to be a bit high, and these waves of buyers are regretfully looking at the charcoal after listening to the price and turning away. No matter how good your charcoal is, it can't be twice as high as the normal price on the market, right? I can buy twice as much carbon when I have that money, so why buy yours?
An hour later, a man and a woman came, the man was tall and handsome, and the woman was bright and cold. These two diametrically opposed words are used in only one woman, and this woman is Feng Wenying, the chief of internal affairs of the 49th Group Army.
Feng Wenying's facial features are good, but this temper is unbearable to ordinary people. At the very least, among all the middle and senior officers of the New Ninth Army, there is probably only one Ren Laifeng who is not afraid of her. This woman, only the wind can come down. The tall and handsome one next to him, needless to say, is Ren Laifeng.
"Big Black Bull, how's it going? Didn't you sell two catties of carbon? ”
"Nope." Niu Hei shook his big black head.
"It's not that no one buys it, it's that the big black bull has set the price too high! It's all the same charcoal, and its price is twice as high as others, who will buy it? "Huang Guojin is quite disdainful of Niu Hei's business, how can you sell things like this?
Niu Hei also scoffed at Huang Guojin's statement, "Sneer." What do you know? It's not that I won't sell, I'm not willing to sell! We're not here to do business, we're here to do big things. Can I delay a big deal by selling locomotive charcoal? You don't understand it. ”
"Oh, not necessarily. Perhaps, the big black bull has set the price high, and some people really buy it on the pole. ”
Ren Laifeng said these two sentences, not to mention Huang Guojin, even Niu Hei was surprised. Really? Can you still sell things by inflating prices? Could it be that there are really fools in this world? Of course, they don't dare to question Ren Laifeng's judgment ability, not to mention that he is a chief, and the fact that there is no place has proved that Ren Laifeng's judgment of major events is basically not wrong. Suspicious of others? Let's doubt themselves first.
Not to mention, someone really bought twenty catties of charcoal at three times the price in the afternoon. The person who came to buy charcoal looked like a noblewoman, and led a subordinate to buy twenty catties without even asking the price. People said that if you go back and burn it, it will be easy to use, and you will buy it in two days.
It was already dark, but the charcoal vendors had no intention of stopping to rest, and looking at them like that, it seemed that they were ready to sleep out tonight. After the dinner I bought, there were more and more people next to the charcoal carriage.
The open-air market has no gate, let alone guards, and the vendors who traded in the market during the day are basically scattered, and there are many people in the market, but only these three truckloads of charcoal are left.
Look at the time, it's already half past eight in the evening. Let the wind order unloading!
Bundles of charcoal were unloaded from the wagons, and at last they turned into long and square wooden boxes. The box was opened, and inside were rifles, cannons, bullets, shells, and grenades. Hidden in these three carts are three truckloads of munitions! Ren Laifeng, this is going to fight Fengtian City!
More than 300 people have gathered in the open-air market, and some are still arriving. After nine o'clock in the evening, when no one finally came, Ren Laifeng began to distribute weapons. Some were issued rifles, some were issued pistols, and some were issued grenades, anyway, everyone is not empty-handed. There is no more, and there is only so much ammunition that three carts can carry.
"Commander-in-chief, have you all arrived?"
Ren Laifeng heard someone asking, and when he followed the voice, he saw that it was an acquaintance, Cui Bin, the liaison officer of the military command. Now it seems that the team leader doesn't know what the captain is, but he has been promoted anyway. I didn't expect him to cooperate tonight.
"The people are here. Cui Bin, are you going to cooperate with the action tonight? You find someone to lead the way, and take us to the place and you're done. ”
