Chapter 5: Chen Hu
Came to the bazaar, the bazaar is not very far, but the scale is relatively large, Liu Tong doesn't know what the bazaar is like in other places, but in the late Han Dynasty, it is not a city, this bazaar should not be small, it seems that this place is a traffic artery, Liu Tong thought.
Red Carp took Liu Tong to a T-shaped intersection, along the street are some shops or stalls, Red Carp spread straw mats on the roadside opposite one of the largest shops, and neatly arranged the reed weaving products, "Childe, this location is the most crowded." ”
After the red carp was arranged, Liu Tong leaned to the side and closed his eyes to bask in the sun and nap, while the red carp watched with relish as passers-by stopped to look at their own products.
Liu Tong felt in a daze that the market was full of people, but he didn't hear much shouting and selling, nor did he hear any bargaining.
In particular, the red carp has not said a word since they came to the market, and they must not have sold a single one without looking at it.
Liu Tong got up and patted the dust off his body, and pulled the red carp, "Red carp, how much are you going to sell it for?" ”
"Childe, you compiled more than thirty in half a day, how about we sell it for three yuan each?"
Liu Tong didn't care about the price, and said: "Okay, in this way, you have to shout, understand, learn something." ”
As he spoke, he shouted at the people who came and went: "Royal craft, royal craft, children's toys, little daughter-in-law's gifts, today's discount, six dollars one, six dollars one, the number is limited, buy one get one free, buy one get one free!" As soon as passers-by heard Liu Tong's shouting, they felt novel, and surrounded them.
Liu Tong patted the buttocks of the red carp, "Just shout like this, you sell it, I'll squint." ”
The red carp was slapped on the ass by Liu Tong on the street, thinking that everyone had seen it, and was ashamed. But he found that no one was looking at him, and they were all curiously looking at the objects on the straw mat.
The red carp then repeated Liu Tong's shouting in a low voice.
At first, someone paid for it, Liu Tong heard the conversation of the deal, and then heard the red carp becoming more and more confident and shouting louder and louder. In a short time, a dozen pairs were sold.
"Yo, red carp, good deal!" Liu Tong heard that the voice was a little familiar, and there was a sense of ridicule, so he opened his eyes and saw Chen Huzheng looking at the red carp with a hippie smile.
Liu Tong picked up a small stone bullet on the ground and hit Chen Hu's knee, Chen Hu was in pain and was about to curse, but when he saw Liu Tong staring at him with a bad face, he snorted coldly.
Liu Tong waved his hand and said, "Get out of the way, otherwise you will break your dog's legs!" ”
Chen Hu had seen Liu Tong's methods, and he didn't dare to be ruthless, so he lowered his voice and said: "Set up a stall at the door of my shop, it's good if I don't tell you to leave." ”
After hearing this, Liu Tong got up and wanted to beat someone, but the red carp hurriedly suppressed Liu Tong, turned his head and said to Chen Hu: "Chen Yaren, don't disturb the son's sleep, I'll sell these and leave, so I won't disturb your business." ”
Chen Hu saw that Liu Tong was going to beat someone, so he turned around and left on the steps given by the red carp.
"Red carp, which shop belongs to Chen's family?" Liu Tong asked.
The red carp pointed to the largest one directly opposite and said, "This is it, the backyard is very large, and the Chenya family is the most magnificent in the market." ”
Liu Tong didn't feel sorry for his jade pendant, but hated Chen Hu for bullying the red carp again and again, and the red carp went to sell the priceless jade pendant, but it was so black that the price of one-tenth was not there.
When Liu Tong closed his eyes and leaned down again, he made a plan in his heart.
Near noon, the red carp woke Liu Tong up, and Liu Tong saw the red carp cleaning up the straw mat and knew that everything was sold out. "Childe, you are so smart, as soon as you shout, the thing will be sold, and it will be sold for a total of 96 yuan today."
"Ah, that's all, okay, let's go, let's go rub it."
"Childe, what are you going to do?"
"Let's rub it off."
Liu Tong said that he pulled the red carp around to find a restaurant, and finally saw one, someone was sitting in it to eat, and walked in.
Liu Tong entered the door, snatched the money string that had just been worn by the red carp with dried reeds from the red carp's hand, and stuffed it into the hands of the guy next to him, "Give the master some good wine, meat and food!" ”
As he spoke, Liu Tong pulled the red carp to find a case and sat down.
The red carp looked around uneasily, there were not many diners, and some people were chatting in a few words, but it was not deserted.
After a while, the man came up with a plate with a plate of cooked meat, two side dishes, a small pot of wine, and two bowls of rice.
"Guest officer, your food and drinks are ready!"
Liu Tong wondered, isn't 96 a lot of money, why is this little thing not enough for me to eat alone! Is meat expensive? Expensive wine? Or is your black shop expensive?
Liu Tong looked at the heartache expression of the red carp, and said with a smile: "It's been so long, it's time to rub it!" As he spoke, he gave her meat, and he couldn't drink alcohol, so he pretended to drink a few sips, and after a while, he finished eating, and after the meal, Liu Tong followed the red carp home.
The red carp waited with anticrisy for Liu Tong to continue weaving reeds, but saw Liu Tong lying on the bed in a daze, and didn't dare to disturb, so he took the basket to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables, after all, tonight's meal has not yet landed, so you can't eat all the fish, and the fish have been handled and dried by the third sister-in-law.
Liu Tong thought to himself, in a few days, his injuries will be healed, such a life is too difficult, weaving reeds sells for 180 yuan a day, eating and drinking is just right, when can Ma Yue have food and clothing without worrying.
For dinner that day, Liu Tong ate the wild vegetables dug up by the red carp, but to the surprise of the red carp, Liu Tong ate it with relish, and Liu Tong only ate a little of the half of the fish that was burned.
The red carp helped Liu Tong change the dressing, Liu Tong watched the abdominal wound scab over, and did not let the red carp apply the medicine anymore, but the red carp insisted on dressing, saying that the doctor had explained. Liu Tong had no choice but to let her dress himself up.
Liu Tong saw that there was a hazy moonlight outside, and he didn't want to go to bed early, so he took the red carp out for a walk.
The two came to the Zhaofu canal, and Liu Tong pulled the red carp to sit down. Liu Tong looked at Luo Hongli's emaciated body, although he was fifteen or sixteen, he was not as well developed as some girls, his chest was flat, but fortunately he had a pair of big eyes, he was smart and gentle, and he always thought of others first, which was quite pitiful.
Liu Tong sighed in his heart, couldn't help but take her shoulder, took her in his arms, and whispered to the children in the village: "Red carp, red carp, squeezed in my arms." ”
The red carp leaned against Liu Tong's chest, his body stiff and motionless.
"Red carp, why do you call that name?"
"Huh?"
"Why are you called Red Carp?"
"Ao, when my mother gave birth to me, my father was fishing, and I just caught a big red carp, so I called it red carp."
"What if your dad happened to hit a soft-shelled turtle at the time?" Liu Tong thought in his heart that the soft-shelled turtle was also called Wang Ba, and after asking, he laughed.
The red carp didn't know what Liu Tong was laughing at, so he heard him laugh evilly, so he slapped Liu Tong with his fist.
Liu Tong held the red carp's shoulders and asked, "Red carp, it's been so many days, why don't you ask me what my name is, and don't ask who I am?" ”
"You don't want to say it, of course I can't ask, Daddy said that you were a rich son when he saw you when he called his father."
"Red carp, remember, my name is Liu Tong, and you will call me Luo Tong in front of outsiders in the future. Well, Luo Tong is a good name, it's your brother. Well, how can I say that the prince is lost in the people? Yes, you're Cinderella, and I'm the prince. Haha, the story of the prince and Cinderella. ”
Red carp is a simple person, although he doesn't know what Cinderella is, he thought, it's definitely not a good name, he is a poor girl, Liu Tong said that he is a prince, he must be a prince, the gap between the two is too big, how good it would be if he was an ordinary man's son, thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel sad.
Liu Tong is nonsense, he doesn't know the mind of the red carp, and he is very complacent about his bad taste.
Under the hazy moonlight, Liu Tong was in a good mood, while the red carp was secretly complaining.
Liu Tong saw that it was late at night, and saw that the red carp was not bored. He took the red carp home.
After entering the house, Liu Tong asked the red carp: "Red carp, do you have night clothes at home, and do you have any black cloth to cover your face?" ”
When the red carp heard this, he looked at Liu Tong in surprise, "Childe, you want to be a thief?" ”
Liu Tong smiled: "No, no, I don't steal or rob." Yes, I'm not a thief, why should I be masked. Red carp, you sleep first, I'll go out. With that, he turned and walked away.
The red carp was afraid that Liu Tong would mess around, so he chased after him and shouted: "Childe, don't mess around!" ”
"Go back, I'll avenge you!"
These days, Liu Tong has long discovered his ability, when no one is around, a set of boxing will naturally be played, I, talented!
After Liu Tong learned this, he was depressed these days, how could he let go of Chen Hu, who repeatedly bullied Red Carp and Luo Tie! The key is that the jade pendant should be a clue to his life experience, and he has to get it back.
Liu Tong took advantage of the moonlight to come to the market and quickly found Chen Hu's shop. After a few attempts, he found that he could jump very high, so he took more than ten steps back, gritted his teeth and jumped to the backyard.
