Chapter 66: Talking about the Ancient One
Unconsciously, it has been more than half a month since Dongmenqing arrived in Nanao, and they handed over all their belongings - coarse rice, coarse noodles, homespun cloth, etc. to Zhang Yue'e to cook. This little thing was originally not enough to live, but fortunately, Zhang Yue'e was summoned by Xu Dong to work in the kitchen, so she could always change her way to steal food from the kitchen and add some oil and water to her brothers' meals.
Nanao is a pirate in eastern Guangdong, and the men on the island have to make a living by going to sea to make money, and now Xu Dong is back, and Dongmen Qing and others have no assignment and can only wait on the island, so there is no income, so Zhang Yue'e is trying to help support this group of men these days.
The clouds are dark for many days, even the air seems to be a little heavy, Dongmenqing in the morning as soon as I go out to see many people in the ear, a inquiry, only to know that last night's boat came back.
Everyone is privately discussing what Xu Dong and Lin Guoxian will do, and many people feel that a dragon fight is inevitable. Everyone has a good impression of Lin Guoxian, and the prestige of Shangzhai is also relatively large, and Shangzhai has the absolute upper hand before. Because Li Dayong is more tolerant of people, and Xu Dong can forbear, he has gotten along until now. But now the situation has reversed, only two ships are left in Shangzhai to come back, the ships have lost ninety percent, and only three percent of the manpower is left. But Lin Guoxian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although Dongmenqing does not have a deep understanding of Shangzhai, but seeing such a situation, the thieves in Shangzhai did not rebel in groups, so he knew that Lin Guoxian was more popular than Xu Dong.
"What should I do?"
He went home to discuss with his brothers, and Yang Zhizhong said: "It's best not to move!" ”
Chen Baifu and Shen Wei also advocated being serious, and Zhou Dafu said: "It's best to take advantage of the chaos to rob and get some oil and water, it's too uncomfortable to live a dry half a month!" ”
Chen Baifu said: "We have no power now, no guns, and only some broken copper and iron, it is not easy to fish between the two tigers, and it is good not to be used to poison, step up, and test the knife like last time!" ”
Zhang Yue'e also had some understanding of the situation on the island at this time, and after listening to everyone's words, she said: "I think we will leave this alone." It's okay for them to fight, let's not get involved. If you think about it, you may not be able to live a peaceful life. ”
Dongmen Qing shouted: "What do you know about men's affairs!" Get in! ”
Zhang Yue'e pouted, but lowered her head, didn't say anything, and went back to the house obediently.
Everyone said: "What should we do, Wang Gongzi has an idea." ”
Dongmen Qing said: "If you have the opportunity, even if you take risks, you must do it!" We can't stay here! But now neither of them has made a move, and the arrow shoots the first bird, and now whoever moves first is unlucky, so we can't move around. Everyone has put their eyes on it, their ears on it, and they are paying attention to any news. At present, we must accumulate some capital first, and only with capital can we do things. ”
Kavala said: "Now we can't go to sea, how can we save money?" "Pirates are doing looting for a living, but they can't do this "business" on the island, and if they want to go to sea without Xu Dong's permission, they don't know when it will take!
"Capital is not only silver, not only wealth!" Dongmen Qing said: "Weapons, news, and connections are also capital. Needless to say, as for the news, we don't have enough information now, it's not deep enough, and the high-level dynamics on the island seem confusing to us, and if we can't tell who is close to whom on the island and who is enmity with whom, it will be very dangerous to do something. So you have to try to get the news first. Said to Zhou Dafu: "You are responsible for the matter of inquiring about the news." He said to Yang Zhizhong again: "Elder Yang, you are well-informed, if you see something, don't rot in your heart and don't speak!" ”
Zhou Dafu received the order, and Yang Zhizhong also said: "As long as I know, there will be no concealment, there will be no concealment." ”
Dongmen Qing said to Shen Wei, Chen Baifu, and Kavala: "I am now the captain of the twenty-person team, in addition to you, there are ten new hands, these people are not close to us, these three of you have to think of ways to collect their hearts these days." How do you win people's hearts? One is money, and the other is ability! We don't have any money now, but these people are not as capable as us, so we have to show our hands and make them fear us, one thing. Then it is necessary to teach them some skills, the teacher is the teacher, and the recipient is the disciple, and in doing so, it can also make them return to their hearts. If you accept one more person, you will have more strength in times of emergency! ”
Chen Baifu and others received the order, Dongmen Qing said again: "The last thing is how we should live now, Shuiyu Cai said the day before yesterday that he borrowed a fishing boat and wanted to go to catch some fish and come back, fishing is not a long-term solution, but it is okay to help make up for the family in front of you, this matter, the brothers who are empty can help." ”
The rest of the people should be, Dongmen Qing said again: "And among all things, the most important thing is to find a way to get through contacts, and this matter is urgent." Okay, let's just split it up. Until you decide what to do next, life goes on as usual! ”
Although the days in front of them are difficult, everyone feels that this team has ambition and hope, and since there is hope, they don't feel that the hardships in front of them are unbearable.
On the second day, Shuiyu Cai came back with a lot of fish, Dongmenqing greeted everyone and ten novices to eat a big meal, and there was still leftover, Zhang Yue'e thought of a way, boiled and grilled the fish, and set up a stall to sell it in a crowded place.
In South Australia, in addition to pirates, there are many fishermen, the seafood here is also good, seafood is cheaper than rice and noodles, Zhang Yue'e's means are good, after a burst of fragrance wafted out, people near the left smelled it and asked, seeing that she was selling barbecue fish soup and felt fresh, but no one was willing to pay for it. Poor people, it's good to be able to eat, where can you afford to eat barbecue snacks? In the evening, Dongmen Qing saw that there was no business, and said, "This can't be done!" You have to let people have a sweetness first, and then everyone will come. "Just don't need the money first, let everyone try it. As soon as the people around heard that there was something to eat, they all came in an uproar, and the scene was very lively, so busy that they were very excited, thinking that the scene had finally been opened, but the next day they were going to collect the money, and everyone did not come again.
"Fuck!" Zhou Dafu opened his mouth and scolded: "If it's free, it's coming, and if it's charged, it's not coming!" How can these people be so snobbish! ”
Zhang Yue'e sighed and said, "That's no wonder they." If you are to be replaced, will you spend money to buy barbecue to eat? ”
"Of course I won't buy it." Zhou Dafu said: "Now I can't eat enough, my wife can't afford it, where can I have the money to eat barbecue at night?" ”
"Isn't that it?" Dongmen Qing said: "This way to make money is still not right, so forget it." Seeing that his wife and subordinates were a little depressed because of this incident, he said: "Don't be like this, come, I'll tell you about Duan Gu, everyone listens and eats, it doesn't matter if you don't make money, just be happy." ”
Dongmen Qing really doesn't have much knowledge in his stomach, and there are groceries, he knows a little bit about history, and he listens to a lot of novels and operas, he is eloquent and good, and he interprets it casually, and the effect is not under the special storyteller, Chen Baifu and Zhou Dafu were attracted after only listening to it for a while, and threw the things that couldn't make money out of the clouds. Occasionally, people passing by on the side of the road heard it, and they all stopped to listen.
There is no entertainment on Nanao Island at night, and the neighboring pirates heard that someone was talking about the ancients, so they all gathered in twos and threes, and Dongmenqing talked about three ancient times, and gathered thirty or forty people. Seeing that the night was dark, Dongmen Qing said: "Okay, let's disperse." ”
Some of the people who came later only listened to one and a half paragraphs, and they all felt that they were not addicted, and they shouted: "No! One more paragraph! ”
Dongmen Qing said: "What I said is dry, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Then a well-behaved pirate went to fetch water and said: "Wang Gongzi, if you have a dry mouth, drink some water, and talk about another one, so that it will be gone, and we won't be able to sleep when we go back!" ”
Dongmen Qing's heart moved, so he talked about another one, stopped at the key point, and said: "No, I'm so poor that I can't eat enough now, and I really don't have the strength to stay up late." ”
When the pirates heard this, they shouted: "Prince Wang, you can't be too virtuous!" When it comes to what matters, there is suddenly no more below! You are called a eunuch! ”
Dongmen Qing said: "I really don't have the strength. ”
A clever pirate said, "Why don't we help Prince Wang do some more strength." Then he threw a copper coin at the barbecue stall and said, "Let's skewer the grilled fish." ”
All the pirates laughed when they saw it: "It turns out that Wang Gongzi has no strength because of this." "There are more than 20 people who paid for barbecue and fish soup, and Dongmen Qingjian saw that he had a business, so he reluctantly spoke two more paragraphs.
After the end, seeing that he had only earned more than 30 copper coins from his hard work overnight, he laughed at himself: "I didn't expect my Wang Qing's labor to be so worthless!" ”
"It's hard at the beginning!" Zhang Yue'e said: "But don't you already have the first audience?" As long as you say it well, more people will listen to it. The more people listen, the more money there is. ”
Dongmen Qing nodded when he heard this: "Yes, yes, then let's continue tomorrow." ”
