Chapter 70: Dabawala
Li Zhaotong and Mei Taiqing lived in the Sanbiao Pavilion, of course, this place has now been renamed New Oriental School.
As for how Tao Wansan is now, Li Zhaotong doesn't know, and he doesn't plan to know.
Anyway, there was an agreement in advance that if either of him and Tao Wansan admits defeat, or faints from hunger, or falls ill, the Jinyiwei who followed them will quickly notify another Jinyiwei, and then the bet will be over.
Since Qu Xianyan, who was following Tao Wansan, did not come over, it means that Tao Wansan has not lost the bet.
So what is Tao Wansan doing now?
This guy is still a little backbone, he didn't go to his uncle who was a hundred households for help, and he didn't dare to look for it, because now His Majesty has paid attention to his gambling contract with Li Zhaotong.
He didn't become a beggar either, because he couldn't let go of his body.
It is said that people are forced out.
After a day of starvation, Tao Wansan came up with a solution, which was to write letters for others.
This Tianjin Wei is an important military town, although there are many military households, but because today's military household system has been seriously damaged, there are many deserters, so there are not a few recruits.
Many of these recruits are not natives of Tianjin Wei, and since they are not locals, they need to send letters to their families.
Therefore, these people have become Tao Wansan's main target.
Tao Wansan is also a chicken thief, he knows very well that he has Qu Xianyan next to him, and there is no big problem in terms of safety, so he almost sees a soldier passing by him, and he wants to shout, "Cheap help write letters!" ”
In this way, he really attracted a few customers and barely earned money for food.
……
Tianfei Palace.
Li Zhaotong had already left here and entered the Tianjin Acropolis, while Zhu Houzhao had left the Tianjin Acropolis and set his sights on here.
To be precise, it is aimed at the Sancha Estuary Wharf next to Tianfei Palace and Gongnan Palace North Street.
"Your Highness, I have inquired clearly."
Ning Mo licked Zhu Houzhao more than before, because he couldn't let go of his body to beg, so he could only kneel and lick Zhu Houzhao, try to help Zhu Houzhao do things, and then watch Zhu Houzhao give him food while eating.
Zhu Houzhao is not a ruthless person, he knows that this dog thing is not promising, and he can't let go of his body, so he will still give Ning Mo some food, so that Ning Mo still looks fatter.
"How's it going?"
Since he began to plot big things, Zhu Houzhao seems to be a lot more stable, and between his words and deeds, he has the momentum of a superior.
Under the pressure of his momentum, Ning Mo lowered his head, and then replied:
"Your Highness, as you might expect, the helpers who work on the docks do not eat more than two meals a day, because eating only two meals will make them less energetic, and then they will make less money."
"Great! My Zhu Shou is really smart! ”
After coming out, Zhu Houzhao changed his name to Zhu Shou.
As for the rest, it hasn't changed......
He still calls himself the main palace, Ning Mo and Zhang Yong still call him His Royal Highness, and even he asked the beggars who were subdued by him to call him His Highness, saying that this is his code name.
The beggars don't understand what His Royal Highness means, Zhu Houzhao can give them food, not to mention His Royal Highness, even if he calls the emperor, they dare.
"Let's go! We're going to talk to the helpers about business. ”
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, a group of people guarded Zhu Houzhao and headed towards the Sancha River Estuary Wharf.
……
"Uncle, how was your harvest today?"
When he came to the Sancha estuary wharf, Zhu Houzhao first stared at a helper who was sitting on the ground resting, holding a cold and hard steamed bun in his hand.
"Okay."
The middle-aged helper was seriously nibbling on steamed buns, so he didn't notice that a group of people were looking at him, and he replied without raising his head, but then, he noticed that something was wrong.
"Huh?!"
The middle-aged helper hurriedly protected the steamed bun in his hand, then looked at Zhu Houzhao and the others very vigilantly, and asked:
"No, little beggar, why do you ask me this?"
Zhu Hou didn't look strange when he saw him like this, he took out a fragrant leek baked cake wrapped in oiled paper from his pocket, threw it to Ning Mo in the hot eyes of all the beggars, and then looked at the middle-aged helper and said:
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm not interested in your steamed buns, I'm here to talk to you about a business."
"A business?"
The middle-aged uncle didn't understand, the little beggar in front of him was clearly a child who only knew something, where did he know what business was, so he immediately waved his hand and said:
"Go, go, you little beggar, what business can you learn to do? While playing. ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said nothing.
When he behaved, Ning Mo beside him immediately understood, and Ning Mo gobbled up the leek baked cake into his stomach, burped, and then quickly said:
"Bold, our Highness is the stars in the sky, born with incomparable intelligence, and the smartest person in the world, how dare you doubt the ability of our Highness? Blind your dog's eyes! ”
"I ......"
The middle-aged helper was scolded for no reason, and he wanted to be angry, but the situation was stronger than people, there were more than a dozen people on the other side, and he was only one person.
And this Sancha estuary wharf, because of the existence of the Tianfei Palace, the ruffians and hooligans did not dare to be presumptuous here, so the wharf helpers did not form a gang, therefore, the middle-aged helpers also had no helpers.
I can only admit it with anger on my face.
"Dog, if you dare to murder the customers of this palace, this palace can't beat you!"
After speaking, Zhu Houzhao was ready to fight.
Of course, he couldn't really fight, because he and Ning Mo formed a tacit understanding: one sang red face, and the other sang black face.
Therefore, the speed at which he slapped over was not as fast as Ning Mo's shouting "Your Highness spares your life", so in the end, he didn't really hit it.
But this performance made the middle-aged helper's face a lot better.
Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the situation to promote:
"Uncle, I'm really here to talk to you about a business.
Uncle, your steamed buns are not delicious after they are cold, they are cold and hard.
So uncle, do you want to eat hot food?
I'm sure you must have thought so, uncle.
But the reality is very helpless, uncle, every quarter of your hour is extremely precious, you need to hurry up to make money, it's too late to go home to eat hot food, and the family also has to work, there is no time to send it to you, so you can only nibble on stiff steamed buns, or spend money to buy some hot food to eat, replenish your strength, and then continue to work, right? ”
"Hmm."
The middle-aged helper nodded undeniably, and then put on a look of "please continue your performance" and asked Zhu Houzhao to continue.
"Then from today onwards, uncle, you will no longer be bothered by this.
I have come up with a good solution for my uncle, uncle, you only need to pay me two cents a day, and these people under my command can help you run errands, bring hot food from your house, and ensure that you eat hot food.
In addition, if you choose to pay a monthly subscription, I can reduce 5 yuan for you, that is, you only need to pay me 25 yuan a month, and you can eat hot food every day.
In this way, you will be more energetic when you work! You'll be able to make more money, which is much more cost-effective than spending money on hot food! ”
Zhu Houzhao is crazy Amway.
Fortunately, Li Zhaotong is not here, otherwise, Li Zhaotong should suspect that Zhu Houzhao is a traverser, and this time he will suspect that Zhu Houzhao is a traverser from India.
Because similar to the family bento delivery conceived by Zhu Houzhao, it is the Indian takeaway Dabawala.
