Chapter 71 The division of labor is clear
When Zheng Yunhong drove to the street opposite Xinglong Rice Shop, Su Shoucai was helping a woman who had come to buy rice pack pearl rice.
In the past two days, one guy in Xinglong Rice Shop was sick and asked for leave, and only another guy was left who obviously couldn't keep an eye on the rice shop where the business was getting better and better, not to mention that he had to go to deliver rice to the teahouse restaurant, so Su Shoucai, the shopkeeper, revisited the old business again.
"Sister-in-law Xiang, don't worry, even if all the rice shops in Hong Kong are short of catties and pounds, I, Su Shoucai, will not do that kind of thing without yin gong." Seeing that the two eyes of the neighbor's sister-in-law were staring at the scales for a moment, Su Shoucai pushed the scale rod forward a few more points, "Wow, five catties." You can go to other places and say, if the number is wrong, you have to say, you come back and smash my signboard. β
Sister-in-law Xiang looked at the scale reading on the scale rod, looked at the scale again, and laughed: "Brother Cai, how can I not believe you?" The neighbors say that you are the most trustworthy! No need to look, no need to look. β
She said that she didn't need to look at it, but her eyes still glanced at the scale in Su Shoucai's hand, Su Shoucai shook his head and smiled when he saw this, opened the cloth bag, and grabbed two handfuls of rice and put them in.
"Sister-in-law Xiang, they are all neighbors, I'll give you a little more, and go back to cook porridge for my grandson." Su Shoucai put the tied pocket on the scale again, and after lifting the scale rod, it was obvious that the end of the scale was slightly upturned, "But don't tell others when you go back, if people know that I do this business, I will lose my capital." β
"Understood, understood. It's no wonder that everyone says that Brother Cai is the most kind-hearted, and I will only help your family in the future. Looking at the tilted weighing rod, Sister-in-law Xiang smiled into a flower and nodded to Su Shoucai again and again.
With words of thanks, Sister-in-law Xiang took out a small oilcloth bag from her pocket, opened the furoshiki layer by layer, counted out five dime coins from it and handed them to Su Shoucai, and then folded the oilcloth bag in layers and carefully put it back in her pocket.
"Slow down, sister-in-law." Su Shoucai stood outside the shop and greeted the sister-in-law who left with the rice bag, and then walked back to the counter with a smile, put the money away and wrote it down.
On the other side of the street, Zheng Yunhong, who was sitting in the car, witnessed the scene at the door of the rice shop.
Zheng Yunhong originally didn't know Su Shoucai, but when he heard Xiang's sister-in-law call the other party Brother Cai, and saw him dressed as a shopkeeper in a coat, according to the reply letter given by Zhang's mother, he could also guess that the man in the rice shop was Zheng Liru's husband.
Ordering the driver to wait on the side of the road, Zheng Yunhong shook the placket of his Tang suit, opened the car door and walked to the door of the rice shop.
"Shopkeeper Su?" Zheng Yunhong stepped into the rice shop, stood in front of a stack of rice pockets, and looked at Su Shoucai, who had just sat at the counter, with a smile.
Su Shoucai lowered his head and finished recording the accounts, and was looking through the account book, when he heard someone talking, he hurriedly looked up.
Zheng Yunhong didn't know him, but he also didn't know this brother-in-law who had never met.
However, Su Shoucai is a businessman in the end, although the strange man in front of him has never seen it, but he can see at a glance that the other party is dressed in a first-class manner, obviously different from a retail investor like Xiang's sister-in-law, and thought that the owner of a restaurant came to place an order, so he hurriedly walked out of the counter, politely came to Zheng Yunhong and stretched out his hand, and said in greetings, "Hello this boss, my surname is Su, and I am the shopkeeper of this rice shop, Su Shoucai." β
"Hello, Shopkeeper Su." Zheng Yunhong smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Su Shoucai's hand, knowing that he had not found the wrong person, so he looked at the small rice shop, "This rice shop is only run by Su Shopkeeper?" β
"Originally, there were two guys, but one of them was sick and took leave for the past two days, and the other went out to deliver and didn't come back, so now I'm the only one in the store." Su Shoucai replied with a smile, hesitated and asked, "I don't know what this boss is called?" β
Zheng Yunhong sighed, and arched his hand to Su Shoucai with a shameful face: "My name is Zheng Yunhong, I don't know if Mother Zhang has mentioned it to you, Liru is my own sister, I'm really sorry for her......"
ββββββββββ
Compared with the eldest brother Zheng Yunhong, although the second Zheng Yuntu is more than a step worse in business acumen, Zheng Ji Weaving Factory has never been harassed by the police and local associations in Hong Kong from the beginning of its business to the present.
Zheng Yuntu has been working on the streets of Huangpu Beach since he was a child, and he also knew a lot of green-skinned hooligans in Huangpu Beach back then, and many of these hooligans who had a friendship with him followed Du Yuesheng to Hong Kong.
Don't look at the many names of the Hong Kong word factions, they are brave and ruthless, but in real terms, the protΓ©gΓ©s of Hengshe who went to Hong Kong from Whampoa are also not far behind, and even surpass.
At this time, Kennedy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island, the outside of the Du Mansion was deserted.
Of course, the reason why the courtyard is deserted is not because Du Yuesheng is still breathing and the sunset is ignored by people from all walks of life.
In fact, since May 1, 1949, Du Yuesheng quietly bid farewell to Huang Jinrong, who was over 80 years old in Huangpu, and took his family to take a 10,000-ton passenger ship "Yushuyun" of the Dutch Zahua Company, and left Shanghai for Hong Kong.
Not long after going to Hong Kong, Du Yuesheng invited Yuan Shushan, a physiognomy warlock known as the old man on the river, to look at his appearance for himself, Yuan Shushan said that it was advisable to recuperate behind closed doors, and Du Yuesheng was in his arms, and ordered someone to post a note at the door of Du's mansion to refuse visitors, and since then there have been fewer people to disturb him.
Over the years, except for Hu Wenhu, the richest man in Southeast Asia, and a few friends and protΓ©gΓ©s such as Zhang Gongquan and Li Jufa, who came to visit, others categorically did not see the former owner of Huangpu Beach.
Although Zheng Yuntu knows a lot of Qinggang disciples, they are all hooligans who are not in the stream after all, so with his identity, let alone seeing Du Yuesheng, even if he can't even enter the door of the Du Mansion, even if his brother Zheng Yunhong personally comes to hand over the worship post, I am afraid that he will not be able to take half a step into the deep mansion compound in front of him.
After a circle around the Du Mansion, Zheng Yuntu walked into a big cigarette stall on the street, and as soon as he entered the door, he instructed the men to prepare cigarettes in Huangpu dialect.
Because of its proximity to the Du Mansion, almost all of the people who do business near Kennedy Road in Wan Chai are from Huangpu.
"Little Huzi, Mr. Du has been doing well lately?" Zheng Yuntu lay on the bunk, took the cigarette set handed over by the cigarette stall guy, and asked.
The young cigarette stall guy heard the accent of his fellow villagers, and a smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Du is very good, on the first day of the first month, Mr. Du Mansion sends a reward, and Mr. Du and several aunts and grandmothers are standing at the door, and they are in good spirits!" β
"That's good, that's good, I'm really ashamed that I didn't come to see Mr. Du during the Spring Festival." Zheng Yuntu nodded when he heard this, and spit out the smoke ring, "Little Huzi, don't you know that there is a car boss named Li Asi at the door of the Du Mansion?" Why didn't I see him when I was passing by? β
The smoke stall guy thought for a while, and responded: "I know, the fourth master!" He has been staring at the stall for a short time, not long ago his car dealership buddy and Hong Kong's local Qi San used a knife to use force, these days those Qi San are busy apologizing to him and accompanying the wine, and now the fourth master may be at which wine table. β
Zheng Yuntu snorted, took out a ten-yuan Hong Kong dollar from his pocket, and handed it to the cigarette stall guy: "My surname is Zheng, Zheng Yuntu." Xiaohuzi, if you see Ah Si in the past few days, ask him to come to Prince Road to find me, I have something to ask him for help. β
Hearing Zheng Yuntu call Kenny's authentic foreign car dealer boss Li Ah Si's real name, the young cigarette stall guy didn't dare to slack off, took the money with both hands and nodded: "Boss Zheng, thank you Nong for your reward, Nong put a hundred hearts, I will inform him as soon as I see the fourth master." β
Zheng Yuntu nodded, waved his hand, signaled the man to step aside, turned over on the floor, and squinted his eyes slightly with the cigarette gun in his arms.
