Chapter 451: Two Tobacco Merchants
It is said that the monkey and Zhu Qing rested for a few hours in the inn of Boss Zhu Yang. It's getting dark.
After a while, Zhu Yang brought breakfast. The two of them had breakfast. The monkey said to Zhu Yang, "Brother Zhu." If we don't come back tonight, it means we've got something new. The reconnaissance continued. ”
Zhu Yang said: "I will arrange this myself, you two be careful." ”
The monkey and Zhu Qing took out the disguise items, the monkey disguised himself as a middle-aged merchant, and Zhu Qing dressed up as his attendant.
The two said goodbye to Zhu Yang and went straight to Zhang Dazhuang. Ten miles away, it won't take long to arrive. It's a big village. Although it is winter leisure time, there are people walking around in Murakami.
The monkey stopped a middle-aged man and saluted with a fist: "May I ask the eldest brother, the people in this village seem to be in a hurry, but there are happy events?" ”
The middle-aged man said, "Is my brother a foreigner?" ”
The monkey said, "I'm from Surabaya and I'm in the tobacco business. ”
The middle-aged man said: "No wonder you don't understand, today is the fiftieth birthday of Master Zhang Zhonglu." Everyone was busy drinking the wedding wine. ”
The monkey said, "Master Zhang's popularity is so good." ”
The middle-aged man said, "We are all tenants of his family, can we not go out and drink?" ”
The monkey nodded, "That's that." The owner celebrates his birthday, of course, to celebrate. But big brother, how is your tobacco harvest here this year? ”
The middle-aged man said: "Our owner planted 200 acres of tobacco, and there was no cloudy day when cutting tobacco, and the color of the tobacco leaves was the best in the past."
The monkey said, "Is it?" It seems that we should go to Master Zhang's birthday banquet today. Big brother, what is your surname? ”
The middle-aged man said, "My surname is Wang, Wang Gui." ”
The monkey said, "My surname is Hou, Hou Zhifang." Big brother, can you take us to the Zhang family compound to meet Master Zhang? ”
Wang Gui said: "I'm just going to give a gift, let's go together." ”
Wang Gui took the monkey Zhuqing, and the time was not long, so he came to the door of Zhang's house. Wang Gui said, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll go in and report to you." With that, he ran into the compound.
After a while, a fat old man walked out quickly and said in a loud voice, "That is Boss Hou." ”
The monkey clenched his fists and said, "In Xia Hou Zhifang, are you Master Zhang?" ”
The fat old man said, "Don't dare." Zhang Zhonglu. Boss Hou came to the humble house, and he was shining, I don't know what to see? ”
The monkey said, "I was in the tobacco business, and I had just come from Honghuabu, and as soon as the tobacco leaves were smoking, it was rained. Moreover, the insect plague is serious, and the condition is not as good as in previous years. So go home empty-handed. ”
Zhang Zhonglu said: "Boss Hou was originally in the tobacco business. My house happened to have a few good tobacco leaves. Please sit inside. ”
The monkey said: "Hou came here, but he didn't want to meet Boss Zhang's good life. If you want to ask for a glass of wine, I don't know if it's okay? He turned to Zhuqing and said, "Bring it!" ”
Zhu Qing took out five pieces of ocean from his pocket and said, "The courtesy is light and righteous, and I also ask Master Zhang to smile." ”
Zhang Zhonglu said: "No, no, how can you let Boss Hou break the bank." ”
The monkey said: "Master Zhang, you and I are not benevolent and righteous in business, do you think that I am light?" ”
Zhang Zhonglu said: "Where, where." Boss Hou, I had no choice but to accept it. Please sit inside. ”
The monkey was generous and won Zhang Zhonglu's trust at once. And his family happens to have tobacco leaves for sale, so he has to treat this boss Hou well, maybe he can make a big business.
Zhang Zhonglu took the monkey and Zhuqing and walked towards the back hall. Suddenly, I heard Zhu Qing say in silent listening: "Brother Monkey, I saw Zhang Gong." It was the young man in a dress. ”
The monkey said, "I saw it too." Sister, pay attention, there are at least a dozen people from the Black Dragon Society here. They mingled with the crowd of people who drank the wine. ”
Zhu Qing said: "They came to protect Zhang Gong? ”
The monkey said: "In the name of protection, in fact, it is to catch those people who are on the bat net." ”
As they walked, the two exchanged information by silent listening. Zhang Zhonglu didn't notice it at all, and took the monkey and Zhuqing all the way to the back hall.
After a few words of greeting, someone offered tea. Zhang Zhonglu said: "Boss Hou doesn't know how many goods he wants? ”
The monkey said, "We heard that Master Zhang planted two hundred acres of tobacco leaves, so we came to see it." If we don't come, we won't come. ”
Zhang Zhonglu said: "Boss Hou is a big businessman. ”
The monkey said, "Where?" It's just a mix of food. Mr. Zhang's goods are good, the price is fair, and I will transport this goods away at one time. ”
Zhang Zhonglu said: "I don't know what price Boss Luo can offer." ”
The monkey said, "The price is on your goods." I don't see the goods, how do I place a bid? ”
Zhang Zhonglu smiled awkwardly: "I was happy and confused when I saw Boss Hou coming." I'll take you to see the goods. ”
At this moment, a family member hurriedly walked over: "Master, Township Chief Li is here." ”
Zhang Zhonglu said: "Two, I'm really sorry, I have an important guest, I have to go to socialize, and I'll take you to see the goods immediately." ”
The monkey said, "You don't have to accompany us to see the goods." Today is a good day for you, you can go and get busy, you can ask someone to take us to see the goods. If you think the key to the warehouse is appropriate, you can ask whoever to take us to see the goods. When we see the goods, we will talk to you in detail. ”
Zhang Zhonglu said: "That's fine. Please forgive me for being slow to treat you two. He turned his face to his family and said, "Go and call the young master." ”
The family said yes and hurried to the front. After a while, Zhang Gong in a dress came to the back hall. Zhang Zhonglu said: "Gong'er, you take the two bosses to see the tobacco leaves." I'm going to accompany Township Chief Li. He untied a bunch of keys from his waist and handed it to Zhang Gong, and hurried to the front.
Zhang Gong said, "The two bosses come with me." ”
Zhang Gong was in front, and the monkey and Zhuqing followed, out of the backyard, turned east, and came to a small courtyard.
Zhang Gong unlocked the door, pushed open the courtyard door, and said, "Please!" "The leader passed through the courtyard. Zhu Qing came in last, closed the courtyard door casually, and inserted the latch.
Zhang Gong picked out another key, opened the door of the storeroom, and immediately rushed out with a strong smell of tobacco. Zhang Gong said, "Let's go in and see." ”
The monkey and Zhuqing entered the storeroom, only to see that the wooden shelves inside were full of tobacco leaves. Monkey and bamboo green there is to see what tobacco leaves. They slowly walked inside to a most secluded corner.
The monkey shouted, "Young Master Zhang, come quickly." ”
Zhang Gong stuck his head in and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The monkey said, "Come and see, your tobacco leaves are damp, and many of them are moldy." It's a pity that such a good tobacco leaf is moldy. ”
Zhang Gong doesn't smoke, afraid to smell the tobacco leaves. I didn't want to come in, but I heard that the tobacco leaves were moldy. I can't help but come in and take a look. He said, "It's so dry here, so moldy?" ”
The monkey said, "Here, you come and take a look, and tell Master Zhang quickly." ”
Zhang Gong walked down the aisle in the middle of the tobacco leaf rack and said, "Where?" ”
The monkey said, "Here, come here." ”
Zhang Gong leaned sideways and walked into the middle of the wooden frame. The monkey suddenly turned around, and with a shot like lightning, he grabbed Zhang Gong's neck with one hand.
Zhang Zhong stretched out his hand and pulled out a short gun. The monkey's other hand, standing like a knife, slashed downward, opened his wrist in the middle, the short gun could not be grasped, fell to the ground, and the monkey kicked away.
The monkey whispered, "If you want to live, don't move!" ”
