43On the twelfth day of March, an auspicious day, the grain number was opened in a hurry.

The wharf of the day was different from the past, the gongs and drums were noisy and lively, the newly opened façade was painted with black paint, and the paper flags were inserted all around, and the black tiles and black doors were black plaques, and there were two gilded characters on the book: Hesheng.

The façade was lined up on both sides, and on each side stood four men in black clothes and black pants with big waists, round waists, and many people outside the store pointed and pointed, "What kind of shop is the new one?" Black goo, are these guys or thugs? It's weird to look at. ＂

At this time, a middle-aged man walked to the door from the store, looked kind, and looked at the onlookers, "Ladies and gentlemen, here is the shopkeeper of this newly opened Hesheng Grain Store, surnamed Zhang Fukun, who has just opened a store in your place, and will rely on your care in the future." Today is a good day, taking advantage of the opening of Hesheng Grain Store, we invited the state capital's music team, and sang a big opera on this pier, starting from today, the daily repertoire is different and sang for three consecutive days! "After a while, the onlookers turned on the pot and watched the troupe sing, which is a good thing that may not be encountered during the New Year." How many years have it been? The last time was three years ago, the grandfather of the Li family held a play for his son to marry his daughter-in-law, but it was done in people's own courtyards. ＂

Everyone laughed and laughed, after all, there are free big dramas to see who is not happy. "This is three days in a row, and the daily drama is different, which can be regarded as a feast for the eyes!" "Everyone, everyone!" Shopkeeper Zhang was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, he waved and continued with a smile, "This is not the end, there are still good things!" Hesheng grain store opened, today's grain price is 190 yuan per bucket, listen clearly, and say it again: 190 yuan per bucket. Also, buy a bucket of rice, give an egg, buy a load of rice and give 12 eggs, and the eggs will be gone! After this village, there will be no such shop! The shopkeeper beckoned to carry the eggs out. Then he saw the man standing with his back hand trotting into the store, and in a moment he came out with a load of eggs and put them in the open space on both sides of the shop. The eggs were afraid of breaking, so a flat basket was added to the burden, and straw was laid, and the eggs were placed upward, and it was very beautiful when it was full. "Hurry back and get the guy to pick the grain, it's still too late! I didn't delay watching the big drama in the afternoon when I went back! Tell your relatives and friends that we sell rice here by bucket and by weight, at least one bucket, and if there is less, we will not sell it! The first 30 people who come to buy rice will receive two eggs for each bucket! What are you still doing? Two eggs per bucket! Only the first thirty! Be quick! Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand at the end and roared quite imposingly.

Everyone was stunned at first, you look at me and I look at you, "Oops! Just go! I saw a kid running out of the crowd, and another old man shouted, "The current price is two hundred and ten dollars for a bucket of grain, and here is one hundred and ninety dollars for a bucket of grain, and there are eggs!" Get out of the way, it's a good thing, it's too late! With that, he hurried out and hurried towards the gate of the city in the distance. At this time, many people in the crowd saw this situation and began to crowd out and go home. "Want to see if what I say counts? Good! Just today, it will be clear in a moment! It's only those who do it fast, so what are you waiting for? Don't want to eat eggs anymore? Shopkeeper Zhang added another sentence with his hand behind his back. Gong! "Choke, choke!" The gong sounded again, as if it were a cry for life. The people who were still standing were no longer calm, some people squeezed out of the crowd and ran home, and the people behind saw it, they all understood, and they also chased after it! The crowd quickly dispersed, leaving only a few old people and children still standing in place to watch the excitement.

Zhou Dao stood at the back of the crowd and looked at what was happening in front of him, "Who was the first kid who shouted to run home just now?" He asked Xu Wa'er softly on the side, "Oh, the first one is Carpenter Chen's nephew, and the last one is my mother-in-law's maternal uncle." Zhou Dao nodded, and entered the store with Xu Wa'er.

At this time, a boat approached the dock, and there were several baskets on the boat, and the baskets were covered with bamboo hats, and a man jumped out of the boat, and before he could stand firmly, he was surrounded by five or six people. "It's millet on the ship, how can you sell it? ＂

It was a tooth man who asked, "One thousand and eight hundred dollars a load, look at this grain, it is bulging and full!." The other tooth man jumped directly on the boat, reached out and grabbed a handful of millet from the basket and rubbed it in his palm, picked it up and sniffed it close to his nostrils, and then threw it into the river, "What a fart!" It's all shriveled rice. The tooth man looked disdainful.

"You can't talk nonsense, I'll show you, this grain is very full!" But the grain seller was not satisfied, and went to fetch the grain. "Okay, okay, don't rub it, we've all seen it, you can't do this grain. I took 1,500 of this way. "The tooth man said that he didn't wait for the grain seller to bargain, so he asked the porter to carry the grain." No way, no way! Whoever does the loss-making business, 1,700 wen can not be less. "The grain dealer stopped me from moving the grain.

"Fifteen hundred and five, don't say so much." "No, the price of this grain will rise in a few days, and my price is low enough." "You peddler don't know anything, don't be greedy! 1,600 texts, that's fine. Pick it up. The porter saw that the grain seller was obstructing, and it was inconvenient for him to pick up the grain, so he stood aside with a flat pole and watched.

Several tooth men on the side jumped on the boat one after another, pushed away the vendors, and began to carry grain to the shore. "Are you going to rob it? Lao Tzu was not afraid, so he rushed to the back of the boat and pushed away the stunned boatman, and pulled out a knife from the bottom of his feet, "One thousand seven, don't get less, you can make less money, you want Lao Tzu to work hard to collect grain and transport grain, in the end, you don't have to earn, in a word: no!" Saying that, the grain seller pointed a knife at those teeth, "The ban on soldiers has been lifted, and Lao Tzu also has a knife." "You are a shitty offender, thinking that you can be fierce with a rotten knife? A tooth man who looked like a leader stared at the grain seller fiercely.

"Oops, don't make a fuss! It's not worth shouting and killing for some food. Alas, if you can't talk about it, you will rob it, and how many traffickers will dare to come over in the future? Buying and selling is not benevolent, and the business is discussed! "I don't know when the shopkeeper Zhang stood by the dock with a hand behind his back, and everyone turned their heads to look at him with a smile, and they couldn't remember what to say for a while." 1,700 wen per load, I want your grain, and you don't need to hire people to bring grain into the city, just on this shore, you don't have to care! Direct delivery to collect money. Shopkeeper Zhang said to the grain seller, and introduced it with a good temper. Oh, by the way, I am the newly opened grain number today, the shopkeeper of Hesheng Grain Store, my surname is Zhang. ＂

"What are you doing? Don't see us in business? You're going to steal business. The leader of the tooth man glared and stared at Lao Zhang. "You do yours, I do mine, which family is willing to sell grain, what's the matter, do you want to dominate it? Do you want to fight or grab? Lao Zhang asked with a straight face.

A few tooth people didn't pounce on them and shout to kill or anything, and they didn't just the guy without saying a word. They were not impulsive, they just watched viciously, and said two cool words that were innocuous and no one cared about, and they became willing to reason.

Behind the shopkeeper Zhang, unconsciously stood eight guys in black clothes and black pants who were still picking eggs just now, holding iron sticks in their hands. Look at the store in Hesheng in the distance, there are still guys. Out of nowhere? The thug-looking guys on the dock were looking at him coldly. The most annoying thing is that there are two of those black-clothed guys, they all know each other, Xiao Gui and Qin Zhu, these two were the tooth people on this dock not long ago, they are one of them, and they are the two who can fight the most, and now they are standing opposite and pinching sticks and looking at them. "Traitor! Bah! "Except for scolding in my heart, it seems that there is really nothing to say.

It was almost noon, and there was a long queue in front of Hop Shing's store, and there were two guys who were dedicated to maintaining order and preventing queues. The man who bought the grain carried a burden, and a few eggs were buried in the burden, and walked slowly to the city gate in rhythm with the rhythm.

"Yo, business is good!" The shopkeeper Zhang was directing at the door to be busy, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head to see that it was two people who looked like they were looking at him with a smile.

"You're the shopkeeper?" "Two errand officials, please come in, it just opened today, and it's a little messy." One of the two messengers is named Yang Ding and the other is Wen Xuzhi, who is in charge of the taxes of Fang City in the county, and is a subordinate of the county Cheng Li Hui. "No need, just say it here." Wen Xuzhi raised his hand, "Can the newly opened store come for the record?" Is your host there? Call him over. ＂

Zhang Fukun glanced at the guy next to him, and the guy left. "Your host doesn't understand the rules, this report is the law of the court, it seems that he doesn't take the court seriously? ＂

"Oh? You two are there too. Wen Xuzhi was talking, and Leng Buding said something from behind him, only to see Pan Hu standing behind him and looking at him with a smile. Ah, Master Pan, you are here too. But I haven't seen you for some days, and you've come back today to do errands? "Well, it's nothing, my brother's new business, I'm just here to see." "Oh, your brother? Huh? ＂

Before Wen Xuzhi could react, he saw two people walking out of Hesheng Grain Store and went straight to this side, and immediately he recognized it, and hurriedly stepped forward with Yang Ding, hugging his fists, "Mr. Xu, you are here too." "Hmm," Xu Wei glanced at the two of them and said, "You two came just in time, this Zhou Gongzi has a good business, and you just want to drink his wedding wine in a while." I, a virtuous brother, will have to rely on you to help me in the future, and if necessary, you can come directly to me. "Yes, yes, Mr. Xu speaks, and the little ones will do their best." The two of them clasped their fists again. Although Mr. Xu is not an official and is in this county, but with his words in front of the magistrate, he can make a small official like them lose his errand, and he has to take off his clothes and get out of the house immediately! "Although this Zhou Gongzi is a scholar, he can be righteous and will not treat the two of them badly, you can make more friends." Pan Ye smiled and slapped Wen Xuzhi on the shoulder, Pan Ye had a heavy hand, Wen Xuzhi was clever, and hurriedly smiled, "That's nature, that's nature." Zhou Dao also smiled and clenched his fists, "In the future, I will have to rely on the two."

Xu Wei heard that what they said was boring, frowned, and said, "I still have some things to do, so I'll leave, stay for a while, and you can accompany Lao Pan to drink a few more bowls." Several people hugged their fists and sent them away.

"I have admired Pan Ye's name for a long time, and it is really Zhang's honor to see him today." Zhang Fukun hugged his fist at Pan Ye, and Pan Ye replied, "I saw the style of the shopkeeper Zhang today, and he is really an expert." Zhou Gongzi, you have found a good helper! Zhou Dao hurriedly introduced him to Pan Ye.

Taking advantage of the time to return to the store, Pan Ye asked Zhou Dao in a low voice, "Where did you find this shopkeeper?" It's kind of interesting. "That's right, Mr. Xu. ＂
