This small street is the most concentrated street in Stone Town that sells kerosene shops used by ordinary people for electric lights at night.

Although there is electricity in Stone Town, and many streets and alleys have street lights at night, because many people are very poor and cannot afford electricity and cannot pay the electricity bill, only a few people in Stone Town can use electric lights.

Most of the rest of the people in Stone Town still use traditional kerosene lamps for lighting at night. Even so, the common people are very economical and can use as little as possible.

So in fact, all the shops selling kerosene on this side street are not doing very well, and the shopkeepers can only say that they can barely support their families by opening this kerosene shop, and they can't make much money.

The 'bodyguards' walked the street from beginning to end, picked a small shop that looked dilapidated, and walked in.

As soon as the owner of this shop saw that someone came to the door, he knew that business was coming, so he happily greeted the 'bodyguard': "This gentleman, do you want to buy kerosene?" Your vision is really good, the kerosene in my shop is of very good quality, very resistant to burning, and the smoke from burning is also small. It's very affordable to buy my kerosene. ”

stopped the store's self-selling boast, and the 'bodyguard' laughed secretly in his heart, the kerosene on this street is all the same from Shanghai, how much difference can there be? And I've heard that this kerosene is also resistant to burning! It looks like this store may be doing a bad business, and it is estimated that there is relatively more kerosene in hand, right?

So the 'bodyguard' looked around the store for a while, and then replied: "Boss, I think you are a good person, so let's buy your kerosene." But how much do you have in stock? I'll buy a lot of them. ”

In order to keep this big customer and prevent the 'bodyguard' from buying in other kerosene stores, he patted his chest again and again and said: "Don't worry, I don't have a lot of money in my hand, can you tell me how much you need first?" I'm just asking someone to borrow kerosene, and I'm going to meet your request. ”

When the 'bodyguard' heard this, he said with great satisfaction: "I need at least 50 bottles of kerosene in old white dry bottles." Do you have so many items in your store first? I buy so much, do you have any discounts? ”

"Wow, you want so much? It's been a long time since a big patron like you has been seen on this street, or even heard of it. The price is still negotiable, but please allow me to say more, if you buy so much kerosene to use, you have to use it until the Year of the Monkey? The shopkeeper was a little confused, so he asked.

The 'bodyguard' smiled and replied, "I didn't buy kerosene for my own use, and I didn't use it that much, but I was going to push a small cart to sell it along the street." It's hard to do this small business now, I just want to find a bowl of rice to eat. Because I found that there was no kerosene shop in this stone town that sold such a thing along the street, I could count it as a door-to-door delivery and increase the price to earn some porridge money. ”

"Oh, I see. Okay, I'll fill you with 50 bottles of kerosene, which is a lot of money. The shopkeeper said.

"What? What is the price for me to buy so much? I said boss, you are not doing well in this business, your price is a lot, I will go to other houses to ask, I think there is always a shop on this street that will be willing to give me a discounted price. "As soon as the 'bodyguard' heard this, he immediately stopped doing it, and wanted to turn around and walk out as he spoke.

The shopkeeper was also a little panicked, and hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the 'bodyguard' and explained: "Big brother, it's not that I'm black-hearted, I can't help it, my profit on this kerosene is also very thin, I can only barely support this store, and if I give you a lot less price, I'll lose money." In this way, I won't accept the money for these 50 glass bottles, it will be given to you, and all the kerosene will only cost 20 yuan in legal currency, what do you think? ”

The 'bodyguard' seemed a little hesitant, he pondered for a while, then nodded reluctantly, and said, "Okay, but I still need to buy a small cart to transport this kerosene, will I give you a total of 22 yuan in fiat currency?" ”

"Deal!" The shopkeeper was very happy to see that he had finally negotiated this big business, and in order to prevent the 'bodyguard' from regretting it again, he agreed.

In this way, the 'bodyguard' successfully obtained the kerosene and glass bottles for tomorrow's operation, and after paying the money, he pushed the cart full of 50 glass bottles of kerosene out of the side street and returned to his residence.

After putting away the cart and nothing, he hurried to the hotel made by He Guangzong and knocked on the door of He Guangzong's room.

He Guangzong opened the door and saw that it was the 'bodyguard', so he hurriedly turned sideways and let the 'bodyguard' enter the room, and at the same time closed the door casually.

After the 'bodyguard' sat down, He Guangzong said with some complaints: "I said what are you doing today? You didn't come to me until so late. Why don't you go to the main street of Longwangmiao, where we chose to ambush the Japanese truck, to investigate the scene? ”

The 'bodyguard' smiled bitterly: "No way, there are too many things, anyway, I haven't been in this stone city for a short time, and I almost know the terrain of the main street of the Dragon King Temple." I'm going to get kerosene and glass bottles today, and I'm going to use them tomorrow. And I have other things that I can't tell you about, so you better not ask. What do you think? How did you feel about the site today? Is it possible for our program to succeed? ”

"I've been walking around there all day today, it's not bad, there is a 90-degree bay in the middle of this street, I think it's just a broken glass at the corner, the Japanese trucks can't see before the turn, there will be a large piece of broken glass waiting for them on the ground, and they can't brake. Also, I've already figured out where to shoot from a height, and it's an ideal place where you can see both sides of the bend. He Guangzong said.

The 'bodyguard' took a large number of moments at this time, and asked: "Your dress is completely the appearance of a businessman, tomorrow you will pretend to be a hawker selling along the street, it is not good to pass on this body, it is too eye-catching, you have no other clothes, it is better to wear it and look like a small vendor." ”

He Guangzong spread his hands and said in embarrassment: "Oh, I forgot about this matter." I didn't expect such an action when I came to Stone Town this time, so I didn't prepare for it at all, what can I do? ”

The 'bodyguard' thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I see that you are about the same size as me, you will go to my residence early tomorrow morning, and I will prepare a suit for you, anyway, you will go to my place to push a cart full of kerosene." By the way, before you go to me, you have to put the long wooden box containing the spear and bullets in the firing position of your choice and get ready. ”
