Chapter 6: Jiang Fatzi
The fat man who accosted the coriander had a big face and small eyes, and he was blind, and judging from his face, this person was not a good person.
Coriander's gaze was glued to the fat man, and wherever the fat man went, his gaze followed.
He scratched his head and asked stupidly, "How do you know I'm going to Shanghai?"
It's really strange, and I didn't tell him, how did he know?
Could it be that the other party is a fortune teller, knows astronomy and geography, and can know people's old things and fortune?
Coriander saw the coriander stupid look and rolled her eyes on the side.
It's okay not to go out, but as soon as she goes out, she didn't find that Coriander is smart. is such a stupid person as coriander, as long as there is no smart person in front of him, I am afraid that he will be deceived and help him count the money!
Ouch my brother!
When the coriander came out of the ticket gate, he found the fat man. This fat man is so big, it's hard not to find him.
How did the fat man know that coriander was going to be listed in Shanghai? Because when the coriander was talking to the coriander, he heard it!
The fat man smiled and said, "Little brother, I happen to have a boat to Shanghai here, do you want me to take you all the way?"
Coriander stared at her, then overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged her hand to the fat man, "Thank you, fat man, thank you, I will definitely remember your kindness!" ”
I thought I was cornered, but it turned out to be a bright flower!
Coriander was almost knocked unconscious by the pie that fell from the sky, but Cilantro felt that the fat man's "kindness" would not be free.
Sure enough, the fat man stretched out a slap, his palm was facing Coriander's face, and the palm of his hand turned again, "Go to the Shanghai market for one hundred and fifty copper dollars for one person, and two people for one silver dollar." ”
Two of you for a silver dollar? This is much cheaper than the ticket price that the Lin brothers and sisters went to the ticket gate to ask!
Coriander is not without business, every year the rice and grain at home are taken out by him to sell, and he also buys things for the family during the New Year's holidays, he knows that there is no good goods cheap, and when he heard the fat man say that the two of them can take a boat to Shanghai for a silver dollar, he immediately became vigilant.
"Fat man, two of you have a silver dollar, so cheap, you didn't bluff me, right?"
Coriander found out that Coriander was not just stupid and incorrigible, so she deliberately didn't intervene and let Coriander face the fat man herself.
The fat man's face changed suddenly, and the original kindness was swept away, and the horizontal flesh on his face was especially abrupt when he was serious.
He gave himself a thumbs up, and reported his way to himself vividly, "Qinglong Gang, you go and inquire, who doesn't know that Fat Grandpa and I, Jiang Haitao, are a good hand in the Qinglong Gang!" ”
He thought that he would be able to control the Lin brothers and sisters by reporting his home, but when he looked at their blank expressions, he realized that these two hillbillies had no knowledge.
The fat man straightened his face, and said with added fuel and vinegar: "Little brother, you are really lucky, just in time, our gang has been playing the boat that passed here recently, and it will leave at seven o'clock tonight, I can tell you first, there will be no store after this village, if you regret it after seven o'clock in the evening, you will not be able to find the fat man and me."
This fat man surnamed Jiang is very interesting, he does not whisper to customers when he opens the door to do business, but has a domineering attitude.
Coriander didn't know how capable he was, but she knew that if he had fear, he had no fear-the backer behind this fat man, that is, the Green Dragon Gang he said, maybe he really had some power.
It's just that whether what he said can be trusted or not is still up for debate.
Coriander is still skeptical, wanting to turn around and leave, but afraid that she really missed such a cheap thing; was led by the nose by this fat man, and I was afraid of being pitted.
He also had one scruple about it, that is, he was worried that the dead fat man would covet his sister's beauty......
However, the fat man only talked to him, and did not look at the coriander much, and did not look like he had evil thoughts about the coriander......
Coriander's face struggled, and she couldn't make up her mind, so she hooked her head and whispered to ask the meaning of coriander, "Coriander, what do you think?" ”
Seeing the Lin family brothers and sisters talking to each other, the fat man swore and said: "Our Qinglong Gang is doing big business, for a few children to bluff you, isn't that smashing our own signboard!"
Cilantro felt that she could take a risk, so she whispered to Coriander for a while.
After agreeing with the coriander, Coriander said to the fat man who pricked up his ears and eavesdropped, "We're going to see the boat with you first!"
The fat man showed a very generous look and beckoned them to follow, "Come with me!" ”
They were originally near the dock, and coriander and coriander followed the fat man, and he was not long before he brought them into the cargo dock.
Qingniu Town Wharf is divided into categories, there are passenger wharves, there are cargo wharves, and other functional wharves, these small wharves are independent on a large wharf, and they can look at each other from a distance.
Because the south has a humid climate and rainy weather, it is afraid of wetting the goods, and there are warehouse buildings on the freight terminal.
The fat man took the Lin family brothers and sisters through the warehouse gate.
The doorkeeper smiled very angrily and greeted the fat man, "Jiang Fatzi, you are doing private work again!" ”
The fat man said to the man: "If I don't work for the fat man, where will I get the money to invite you to eat and drink?"
The fat man turned around and waved to the Lin brothers and sisters, signaling them to hurry up, and then swaggered ahead.
From the shore of the pier, there was the sound of a steamer setting sail, and the green smoke spit out rose into the sky.
A few petrels hovered in the sky like shadows, screaming again and again.
On the banks of the river, dozens of ships, large and small, are stranded near and far. On the river, a few ships have sailed, and the shadow of the ship gradually disappears into the blue sky connected to the river.
The fat man did not take the Lin family brothers and sisters closer, but stopped on the boardwalk where dock workers must load and unload goods.
There are many dock workers around who are busy, and several of them, carrying goods on their shoulders, beat the Lin family brothers and sisters by. The small creaking of the planks beneath their feet showed how heavy the cargo was on the dockmen's shoulders.
Just as the Lin family brothers and sisters were looking around, the fat man patted Coriander on the shoulder, attracting attention.
The fat man pointed to a cargo ship not far away, as if he was showing off his belongings, "Have you seen it, it's that ship, I can still bluff you!" ”
Coriander observed carefully, many boats on the riverside were docked next to each other, and only the boat pointed out by Jiang Fatzi was actually dominating as if it was isolated.
She secretly sighed, the power behind this fat man should not be underestimated.
Coriander couldn't help but look at Jiang Fatzi a little impressed.
Coriander is still suspicious.
There are so many boats on the river, this fat man pointed out one to them casually, who knows whose name is the boat he is pointing to? This kind of borrowing chickens to lay eggs, coriander has not been encountered.
"Fat man, I'll give you the money when the time comes, what should I do if I get on the boat and get kicked off?"
Jiang Fatzi patted his chest, he was the only one in the sky and the world, "Who dares to pick you up, you come to me!" ”
There is a fat man covering, what are you afraid of?
Coriander muttered, "Who knows where to find you!"
"When the time comes, I will be on the boat, little brother, you can rest assured." As he spoke, the fat man lifted his eyelids, glanced at the coriander meaningfully, and then lowered his head and played with his fingers.
Coriander is stupidly unknown, but the coriander understands it at once-
Jiang Fatzi rubbed his fingers, nothing more than asking for money.
This person is unreliable, give him the money now, and afterwards he is likely to bully others and take the account in front of him.
So Coriander said, "We don't believe you quite yet, and I'll give you the money when we get on the boat!"
Hearing this, Jiang Fatzi didn't think he was angry, but looked surprised, pointed to the coriander, and stammered and asked the coriander, "She...... She's on board too? ”
What's all the fuss about, look at that fat man Jiang looks scared and stupid!
Coriander was about to tell Jiang Fatzi truthfully, but was choked by coriander on the back of his hand.
Hiss - it hurts!
Coriander smirked at Jiang Fatzi: "I'm here to see off my two brothers, I won't get on the boat!"
Jiang Fatzi suddenly realized, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
Coriander is suspicious, isn't he the only brother of coriander, when will there be another brother?
"Alright, you all know the place, take your other brother to the door of the warehouse before seven o'clock in the afternoon, and I will arrange for you to board the ship." Jiang Fatzi explained a few words, and then left the Lin family brothers and sisters on the dock and went happily by himself.
As soon as Jiang Fatzi walked away, Coriander couldn't wait to ask Coriander, "Why did you say that just now?" ”
Coriander knew what he was asking, and while scolding him for not having a heart, she patiently explained to him, "Don't you see, that fat man doesn't want me to get on the boat!" ”
Jiang Fatzi only circled around the coriander along the way, but ignored the coriander.
Coriander couldn't figure it out, "Why?" ”
Why doesn't Jiang Fatzi want to let coriander on the boat?
The delicate eyebrows were twisted into a twisted shape, and the coriander was also very confused, and she didn't know why Jiang Fatzi was so jealous of the girl's family, but these are not the point-
Coriander interrupted Coriander's inquiry, "No matter how much, I'll just change into your clothes and dress up as a boy when the time comes!" As she spoke, she patted the baggage happily, "We have to hurry up and sell the contents of the baggage before seven o'clock!" ”
