Jingyouzi, Weizuizi, Baoding's dog (hook) legs.

(You've heard this phrase many times, right?!) But do you really understand what it means? I'm afraid that many people are looking at this saying with a derogatory colored eye, right? Actually, you're really biased. It embodies the helplessness and compromise of the people at the bottom who struggled to survive and live in the old society. It is the survival of fart people and grass people. It has nothing to do with praise and derogation.

Jing Youzi is very easy to understand, that is to say, Beijing people are sophisticated, slippery and cautious, and it is difficult for people to catch the mistakes. But how do you know that the old Beijingers were located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital of the country, where the emperor's relatives and high-ranking officials gathered, so you don't know who you will meet on the street. Even if you meet a prostitute or a beggar, you are their benefactor today; Maybe tomorrow there will be a prince and high-ranking officials who will appreciate them, and in the blink of an eye, they will become your "master"! A certain dignitary who has a good relationship with you today may be beheaded tomorrow by a raider, and you will also be implicated. Therefore, "it is not easy to live in Beijing", not just about high prices, but about all aspects, not about playing.

Therefore, the people of Beijing have seen more, and they have a wide range of knowledge, their horizons are very broad, their hearts and eyes have become more, and they are not easy to be deceived. It is also easy not to offend people in death, and always leaves a glimmer of room for turnaround. It seems that everyone is in their hearts, but in fact, they secretly keep a hand for everyone, once they find that the wind is not in the right direction, they immediately turn the rudder and get off the boat, so as not to implicate themselves and lose their heads, and they have a strong sense of self-protection. Over time, the people of the world have come to the conclusion that the people of Beijing are "Jingyouzi". But otherwise, you won't be able to survive in the capital of the past! Very helpless! This is the survival wisdom of the people of Beijing.

Weizuizi is about to start from its geographical location, from the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tianjin is the guard of the Gongwei Beijing Division, so Tianjin is also called Tianjin Wei. Tianjin is also a place where the wharves of river transportation and shipping gather, so the wharf culture is strong. There are more people who eat on the wharf, and the competition is fierce. With a clever tongue and a sharp mouth, the dead can say that they are alive, and the living can also tell you that they are dead. Don't you see any drums, storytelling, cross talk, etc., most of the artists who eat open meals are from Tianjin? ! So the "mouth" of Tianjin people is a skill, and you can't envy people from other places!

Baoding's dog legs, this is the most divisive words.

Here is the first rejection of the term "traitor". This sentence has been spread in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and you are talking about the "traitor" during the anti-Japanese war??? A bit of a brain, okay? For those brainless and brainless people who are "geographically black", take a detour, don't explain! Another "hooked leg" is actually a helpless distorted explanation and cover up of "dog legs" by some people in Baoding who do not know history. Not necessarily!

Because during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Baoding was also an important garrison town of the Gongwei Beijing Division. At that time, martial arts were prevalent in Baoding, and almost every family had soldiers, and everyone could take a few shots. Therefore, many young people in Baoding have a family heirloom martial arts, with a good body and sharp legs and feet. This is the best choice for a home, a nurse, a bodyguard, and a dart master!

Because Baoding is very close to Beijing, many princes and ministers in the capital are willing to go to Baoding to recruit family members and bodyguards. This has formed a huge group of family nursing homes based on Baoding people in the capital.

And one of the favorite intimidating words of these old men is "What are you doing, I'll break your dog's legs!" ”。 And the groups most threatened by this sentence are the family and the nursing home! So over time, the people at the bottom have nicknamed these errand-running homes "dog legs"! The word here does not have a derogatory meaning such as "traitor, traitor, lackey, scum" or so on, it is a neutral noun or a "nickname" is more appropriate.

So in fact, this is a colloquial phrase, which has no practical meaning in itself! I think you also said when you were homeschooling your son, "If I see you going to an Internet café again, I'll break your dog's leg!" "Is there a ??? Hehehe! Could it be that your son really has dog legs?

Therefore, there are too many clichés, and existence is reasonable! There's no need to be too serious, and don't exaggerate or over-explain.

The reason why I wrote so much nonsense is because when I went to the hospital to line up today, I saw two people because of this common saying, which was earth-shattering, and the head was bleeding! If you hide far away, I'll do it.

Brains are everywhere! Everyone needs to be cautious when they speak!!

Originally, the title of Chapter 6 was "Actually, Women Love Handjobs Too", isn't it eye-catching?! Hahaha! But because of the fight incident in the morning, I temporarily changed the name of the chapter and added some nonsense, which I think is necessary to explain, please bear with me, the captain is here to give you a !! Fortunately, they are all free chapters. Let's just watch the fun! All right! Straight to the point.

"Master Jie! You are full of Tianjin Wei to listen to it~~~ I, Huang San'er, am not spitting! There is no such thing as me, Huang San'er does not recognize the four foreign companies. Wherever you say you go, we'll go there, to keep you fast and stable! Scatter! (get on board)"

Jing Youzi, Wei Zuizi, this saying has been heard for two lifetimes, and I really haven't seen it. Today, I finally saw the mouth of the Tianjin people.

I just asked Liba, who was pulling the rickshaw, "Do you know how to go to the foreign companies that sell machines in the French Concession?" "This one is just a blow! He also held my arm and let me get into the car. I'm afraid of running away from business.

"Then go to the biggest machine seller." Listening to the strange pronunciation of Tianjin dialect, I laughed and got into the rickshaw.

"Gotcha! You're good to go! The largest foreign company, sit firmly inside you! ”

Sitting on the rickshaw and looking at the old Tianjin street scene, I couldn't help but feel the ups and downs of my heart. The urban area of Tianjin is not large, but it is divided into several areas by the various concessions of the great powers. Ironically, at this time, the most prosperous area of Tianjin was near the Quanye Field on Consul General Du Road in the French Concession, which was an area where foreigners concentrated entertainment consumption and office work, and there were many department stores, hotels, banks, and commercial banks.

The deformed product of the concession, a country within a country, is only found in China, which is weak, and if you want to change, you have to catch up! And now is the best time, I came to this world to seize the opportunity of this historical window, so that China's rise is less resistant, the price is less, and I must not miss it again.

When I arrived at the door of the foreign company, I looked up and saw that the plaque of the foreign company said "Mitsubishi Co., Ltd. of the Great Japanese Empire", and I immediately blackened my face.

"This is a foreign company that sells machines?" I asked the coachman angrily.

"Four! The largest foreign bank in the four French concessions. You can rest assured! Don't look at the words hanging on the curtain, there are machines for sale inside. ”

It's really a big ocean company, (but it's run by the Japanese); It's also to blame me for not making it clear, the rickshaw driver is not wrong. My nameless fire is not yet sprinkled on people's heads. So he endured his anger and said to Huang San: "I'm looking for a foreigner to open a foreign company!" Sell machines! Maximal! In the French Concession! "I said it word by word, I was afraid that Huang San would listen to me again.

"Did you say it earlier, Jie Si Ma Si'er! Okay!~~~ I'm running! ~~~ Protect! I'm busy in vain! ”

Huang San fanned his straw hat and wiped the sweat on his head with the front of his short coat that was no longer white. The mouth is chattering and selling miserable. The shrewdness of the small citizens is vividly displayed, and they are afraid that I will not give money. Alas! It's all about life! Seeing this, the anger in my heart also disappeared, so I said to Huang San, who was still selling miserably:

"I won't let you run for nothing! Give you a big ocean, charter your car for an afternoon. Why? ”

"Why don't you coax me! Really an ocean in the afternoon? Huang San hurriedly confirmed in surprise.

An ocean is very powerful in this era, rickshaws only earn two or three cents a day, and these two or three cents can only buy two or three catties of cornmeal, while an ocean can buy more than 20 catties of high-quality rice in this era. Enough for him to eat for a month. You say Huang San, do you dare to believe it? So this guy didn't get tired of confirming it again and again, and I was annoyed with the chatterbox.

"If you don't believe it, forget it! I'll go find someone else. As he spoke, he pretended to get out of the car.

"Don't mind! I'm sure you can't! Let's go. "Huang San saw that I was serious, and immediately pulled the car and left.

This time, I was finally brought to a textile machinery trading company owned by a Swiss. As soon as he entered the door, a young foreign boy greeted him.

"Slender Monk! Is there a god who has carved it into the help? ”

I really couldn't understand his strange pronunciation of Chinese, so I simply interrupted him in German. I know that the main language in Switzerland is German.

"Is your manager here?" The lad was visibly relieved to hear that I was fluent in German. Immediately began to communicate with me in my native language.

"Yes sir, he is. Need a referral from me? ”

"Yes, I need a referral, I have business to talk to him."

"Okay, please wait,"

This foreign young man is very polite and polite, unlike some foreigners who come to China, who come to China as if they are 2580,000 yuan, in fact, many foreigners are hooligans, thieves, and bankrupts in their country. Therefore, when you see a foreigner at this time during the Republic of China, you should first treat him as a hooligan and a thief, and it is right to establish a sense of precaution first, and then listen to his words and watch his deeds.

"Hello, sir! I'm Manager Anderson. What are you------? Do we know each other? ”

A middle-aged foreigner walked out with the young man just now, wearing a decent suit and glasses, and was looking at me suspiciously. He was sure he didn't know the young Chinese.

"Hello Mr. Anderson! I'm Eric Chang"

"Alright! Mr. Eric! Is there anything wrong with you? Anderson still didn't understand the Chinese's intentions.

"Anderson! Is there a quiet place? Can we sit down and talk? ”

"Yes, yes. Please come with me to the office. ”

As soon as I entered the office, I said what I meant. Anderson was surprised and said:

"My God! Mr. Eric! I think you're looking for the wrong person. I'm just a legitimate mechanic seller, and I've never bought or sold weapons here. Anderson hurriedly clarified himself.

"Nope! No! No! Mr. Anderson! I think you misunderstood what I meant. I just wanted to buy a few pistols for self-defense, not to sell arms. I'm not a police officer, don't worry! ”

I don't have to go through the trouble of finding a way to buy weapons on my own. As long as you have money, you will always find a way to buy and sell weapons when you go to Shanghai. But, isn't that a time constraint! I want to be equipped with a weapon for self-defense as soon as possible, and since I came to this era, I have been very insecure!

"Anderson, this is a silver ticket for a thousand oceans, you should know it, right?"

I took out a thousand silver dollars and slapped it in front of Anderson, and continued to seduce:

"As long as you can buy me six pistols, the money is yours. I don't care how this shot came from. Listen Anderson, that doesn't include payment. OK？！ "Well, German has changed to English. I looked at this Anderson and didn't have much movement in his eyes, and he hesitated, so he added another 500 silver ticket.

Anderson stared at the silver ticket and didn't speak. The shrewdness of a businessman is revealed in his eyes, and the danger is measured in his heart.

I didn't speak, and I could see that he was struggling. Staring at the change in his expression, he slapped a 500-denomination silver ticket.

2000 silver dollars, which has long exceeded the payment. Now a pistol with two magazines for 50 rounds is the most expensive between 30 and 50 silver dollars. The six pistols are priced at a maximum price of 50 silver dollars, and the total price is about 300 silver dollars. The benefits I gave Anderson were enough for 10 times the purchase money, so I was not afraid of him refusing. He is not afraid of hesitation! It's strange if you don't hesitate to talk about arms with strangers, and you can hesitate to anyone, and it's right to hesitate, indicating that there are goods or you can get them. Today, even if I use money to smash it, I have to smash the gun out, what's wrong with our rich and willful!

"Smack!" With a bang, my hand slapped on the silver ticket again, and the sound was very loud, but this time I didn't add any more weight, and I used my voice to scare away his hesitation. When I grabbed the silver ticket with my hand.

“OK! OK!~~~ Okay, okay! I need to make a phone call. "When Anderson saw that I was going to take back the silver ticket, he was in a hurry.

After some contact with Anderson, he finally got the exact news from an American businessman named "Diego Pitt".

Pete said he'll come over in a moment. Pete is an American, and he brought a large amount of arms from the United States this time, not only pistols but also rifles. It was originally going to be sold to Zhang Dashuai in the Northeast, but due to the delay in delivery due to transportation, it was finally snatched and sold by the Japanese. So now Pete needs big customers, not such scattered customers, and I begged him for a long time before he agreed. But he asked for a 30 percent increase. ”

"OK, no problem!"

I didn't care enough to accede to Anderson's unreasonable request. Now is not the time to be careful, buy first and grab it.

Actually, I was also very interested in this batch of American Pete, but it was too late. The Victoria will dock in five days, and with the cruise ship's supplementary supplies, I will leave Tianjin in no more than seven days.

However, this batch of goods will definitely not be able to be sold in the short term, because only the Nationalist government and local warlords can buy so many goods at one time, and the Chinese army at this period used relatively cheap "Hanyang-made" or German "Mauser Commission rifles", so the American goods that were very expensive in China during this period were not popular.

After waiting for about half an hour, I finally heard the sound of a car outside the house. I think Pete must have arrived.

Sure enough, a burly foreigner walked in from outside the door, and as soon as he came in, he opened his hands and hugged Anderson, who greeted him.

"Oh! Anderson, my old friend! It's been a long time, and I miss you so much, my old friend! Have you been doing business lately? ”

"Excellent! I am fine! My old friend! Thanks for the regards! ”

The two foreigners were tired of it for a while before turning their attention to me.

"This is Mr. Eric Zhang from China, and this is Mr. Diego Pitt from the United States."

Anderson introduced the two of us to each other. I reached out and shook the foreigner's hand.

"Hello Mr. Diego Pitt, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh! Eric Chang, I'm glad to meet you too. I didn't expect you to speak English so well. You can call me Pete, my friends call me that. ”

"Alright! Mr. Pitt. Do you bring your goods? ”

"Of course! Do you want to inspect the goods now? As he spoke, the Chinese employee who had been carrying the suitcase shook his head. I saw this Chinese gently put the suitcase in front of me and retreated.

I pressed the suitcase, ready to open it, and glanced at Pete.

"Is that okay?"
