"Knock...... Boom...... "Knock ......" three sounds, and today's dragon boat race officially began.

Sun Pu, the shopkeeper of the Sun family, is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a jet-black beard under his chin, which adds a bit of arrogance invisibly. Slowly, in Fuzhou, even in Fujian, his shipbuilding skills are second to none. Sun Mingyang, an only one in the family, although he does not like the art of shipbuilding, he only likes to race dragon boats, and the dragon boat he leads dominates the Min River, this year is only ten years old, since the start of his boat team, the Ji family has not won for three consecutive years, and the business is not as good as before.

Although Ji Minxuan also knows some economics, she is a young lady after all, and she can give her father some ideas behind her back, but she is never on the stage. As a result, the Ji family's Tonghai Shipyard is not as good as a day, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that after two or three years, a few useful craftsmen will vote for the Sun family again, so although this Sihai Shipyard is a smash hit, it will be time to die.

Thirteen dragon boats are lined up on the river, and they are gold, silver, red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, black, gray, pink, and brown in order of seating.

Ji Minxuan also sat on top of the restaurant, bored looking at the dragon boats in the river downstairs. In fact, her favorite coloring is orange, but it's a pity that his family ranks second in the shipyard, so she has to use that cheesy silver, and the little girl is standing behind her.

From a distance, the young people who are persistent on the dragon boat are wearing vests and shoulders of the same color as the boat, and the only exception is that their heads are covered with red scarves. The wood pulp in his hand is on top of the boat gang on both sides, although the expressions on their faces cannot be seen from a distance from this Linjiang Building, Ji Minxuan can guess that the faces of those pulp hands must be solemn. The shore is full of shipyard craftsmen who come to cheer up, and they beat the gongs and drums fiercely, and the green baskets around their necks will also rise high. One by one, they also looked at the people opposite viciously, for fear that they would do something unfavorable to their own team. Not to mention the hardships of the current shipyard craftsmen, the boss has repeatedly cut wages, these bosses are helpless, the money is for the government, it is for those underworld figures, if no one gives it, let alone dragon boat racing, even if the shipyard you don't open, it is a good way to lose money as soon as possible.

In Ji Minxuan's eyes, where is this dragon boat racing, this is a gamble, if you win, you can live a little more, if you lose and keep losing, this boat shop will be over. It's not the owner of the house, it's a big deal to think of a way to make a comeback, it's really not a big deal to change the place and start all over again, it's the poor ones who are craftsmen, and the skilled ones are just that, and other shipyards will also want it, especially when this place has just suffered a catastrophe, and the poor are all over the streets, so ordinary craftsmen are left with a way to starve to death.

With the sound of cannons, the sound of gongs and drums by the river became high-pitched. The paddlers in the dragon boat also waved the oars in their hands desperately according to the drum beat, this is not the oars, but the life! It's a life-saving paddle for the whole family.

Ji Minxuan didn't want to see it, she was going back, because she knew the ending clearly, yesterday, Zu Tianjie Xu of the Mawei Changle Gang had already come to the house to collect the money, and personally gave the family a silver chopstick. There is something Ji Minxuan doesn't understand, naturally the silver given by the family this time is the second place, and the boat team is of course also the second place, which is not enough for outsiders.

As for the origin of this ancestral gang leader, it can be said that no one knows, and everyone only needs to see one thing to understand that such a person is not something that the boat fang can provoke. Ten years ago, the father of this ancestral gang leader was just helping to watch the field and manage the game. But then it was different, they began to collect money, and more and more every year, until the current ancestral gang leader became even more intensified. The Hongjia shipyard, which was once famous all over Fujian, burned the entire shipyard to the ground overnight because it did not pay the money. Ji Minxuan's sister Hong Yuejiao and her family were missing at the same time, this incident frightened the courage of the boathouses, although they were angry, but they were only frightened, of course, there were also those who made a fortune, such as the Sun family who got the golden dragon boat today.

Thinking about her childhood sister Hong Yuejiao, Ji Minxuan was a little sad, although ten years have passed, she was only eight years old at that time, and she can't remember much, but the feeling of a rabbit and a dead fox in her heart can't be erased.

"Hey, isn't this the eldest lady of the Ji family! Brothers, you can come and have a look, such a beauty should be taken a good look. "You don't have to turn back, Ji Minxuan knows that it is the ancestral gang leader, if you want to say that this ancestral gang leader is better than his father. His father didn't bully men and women, but now this ancestral gang leader is so bad that he has sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet.

"Ugh! Be...... It's the ancestral gang leader...... The little girl still had something to do, so she retired first. Ji Minxuan panicked in her heart and waited to leave.

"Retire?! Say goodbye to a fart, since you're here, I'll have fun with you. Zu Tianjie said with a stream of anger in his mouth, and an eye that had long been red with wine only swept around Ji Minxuan's body.

Jiang Yong had already paid attention to the woman sitting in front of the window, who had a pink face and peach cheeks, and had an elegant body, and guessed in his heart that if this woman laughed, she would definitely be able to win people's hearts. At that time, I quietly compared her with the two ladies of the old barracks commander, but I didn't think that the result of the comparison was actually between the two ladies. The young man's nature of loving beauty is reflected here.

When Liu Wencai and Lord Zou were chatting in the boxroom, Jiang Yong was standing at the door, and his task was to protect Liu Wencai's safety. Jiang Yong joined the army a few days after he recovered from his injuries, and because the establishment was full, they had not yet decided where to go for the time being, or they were named the recruit company, and everything had to wait until they moved to Fuzhou in the future. The recruit company performs more protection and guard work. So this time he sent it.

At this time, he had just accompanied Liu Wencai to send away the Zou Governor's Mansion, because he was in a hurry to go to the colorful shed built for the dragon boat race, so he hurriedly left. As soon as he left, Liu Wencai said to a few people, "I haven't eaten the banquet yet, we can't waste it, the boss said, 'Waste is shameful', let's go and consume the wine and food on the table." ”

As soon as I went upstairs, I saw that the people in the private room upstairs were running down, and one by one they were still saying, "Something's wrong, there's an accident upstairs." ”

At this time, the woman's screams and pleading voices were heard from upstairs.

The fire in Jiang Yong's heart rose, but an order is an order, and he is now on a mission.

Liu Wencai glanced at him, then at a few other people, shrugged his shoulders and said: "It all depends on what I do, now that the work is over, it's your own time, what do you like, I'm going to go into the private room to drink, you guys-whatever." ”
