Chapter Ninety-Seven: Counterattack

Batavia, 10 a.m. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info when it doesn't rain, the sun is shining. The high temperature of more than 30 degrees, the water vapor is heavy, and it is still relatively muggy.

Today is Friday, and according to the regulations, it is time to open martial law again.

No matter what time it is, the people have to live. Like firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, these basic daily necessities must be prepared.

Therefore, the Dutch did not dare to do too much!

Between ten and twelve o'clock, free buying and selling in the city is allowed. But once the point is reached, idle people are not allowed to go out on the street.

At this time, Li Ji grocery store, a line of people lined up at the end of the street.

Because this place has the most practical and beneficial products, and the variety is also the most complete, so many people come to buy it. Especially after the Ming blockade of Batavia, there was a shortage of materials in the city and prices skyrocketed.

Ordinary people don't have much money to spare, so they like to come to Lee Kee Grocery Store to buy.

It's a pity that there are too many people who think this way. So much so that every time I came, I had to wait in a long line. The more time drags on, the more so.

Mahmood, a native of Java, arrived a little late today, so he lined up in the middle of the street. In fact, according to his habits, he still needs to queue up to buy things.

But this Chinese firm is very particular. If you don't stand in line, the comptoir won't sell you. If there is trouble, the people in the business house are not vegetarians. First beat up, and then blast out the door.

When the real lessons of the past are in front of us, the people who buy things are much more honest.

According to the habits of the trading house, the queue is in order.

In this way, it is orderly and fair. Many people are willing to follow the rules.

Until now, if anyone makes trouble. If you don't work hard to do it, the customers in the back will blast people out.

After waiting for more than an hour, Mahmoud slowly followed the flow of people and slowly came to the counter.

"I want ten catties of rice, five catties of corn, and a bottle of Daming Cola." Mahmoud said, taking the money out of his pocket.

Indonesia produces rice, so the staple food is the same as the Chinese, and they like to eat rice. Daming Cola, on the other hand, is a kind of soda produced by Daming. In taste, sweet and sour. In terms of taste, of course, it is not as good as that of later generations.

However, in this era, there is only one Daming family that sells soda. Therefore, except for those modern people who have crossed over, they will say a few words that are unpleasant.

Others, but they all see it as a good wine.

But the clerk said apologetically, "I'm sorry! The grain purchase of our commercial bank is limited, and each person can buy up to three catties of rice and two catties of corn. Daming Coke was sold out a few days ago. ”。

"Why?" , Mahmoud exclaimed. He waited in line for so long just to buy more rice and corn to go back. After all, such a long queue is really worrying.

The clerk had explained it to many customers before, so he was used to Mahmood's surprise. He said softly: "Our shopkeeper said that because there has been no replenishment of goods, the materials in our trading house are not sufficient. This purchase restriction is just to allow more people to buy food. ”。

In addition, the clerk said that the price of the goods will not increase. So Mahmoud listened to this explanation, and his heart was much more relaxed.

This firm is quite benevolent!

At such times, it is not only sold at a fair price, but also the lives of other people. Compared with ordinary businessmen, it is simply a day and a place.

And isn't that why he's here?

"Okay, okay! Help me get two pounds of corn and three pounds of rice! Mahmoud compromised.

So the clerk immediately loaded him with something.

But at that moment, a Dutch soldier swaggered in.

Not only did he not queue up, but he also pushed Mahmoud away. yelled at the clerk, "Get me ten bottles of Daming Cola!" ”。

"I'm sorry, we're running out of Coke!" , the clerk explained without humility. And reminded: "Sir, please line up." ”。

When the Dutch heard this, they burst out laughing. looked at Mahmoud on the side contemptuously, and asked in a very impulsive tone: "You say!" Did I cut the queue? ”。

Despite his anger, Mahmoud did not dare to say anything.

Because the Dutch have been roaming the city for so many years, accumulating and long. None of them, the locals, dared to offend the Dutch. After all, he's seen his people killed by the Dutch!

These hateful Dutchmen never took them as natives.

Thinking of this, he really longed for Daming to come over as soon as possible.

By then, look at how these Dutchmen are cross!

In Daming, all people are equal. There is no discrimination! If someone is treated unfairly, they can also sue the court.

And everyone in the Ming Dynasty lived and worked in peace and contentment, even if they couldn't dig gold, they could go to work in factories and factories. It is more than enough to take a monthly salary and support yourself.

He has longed for such a country for a long time.

Originally, he wanted to steal it too. It's just that after finally saving enough tickets, Daming suddenly went to war with the Netherlands, making Batavia blocked.

But it's a joy!

Because since Daming called, the ferry ticket was also saved. This place is also likely to become the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Then he went to the Ming Dynasty, and the price was much smaller.

When I was looking forward to it, I smiled unconsciously.

When the Dutchman saw that Mahmud hesitated, he not only did not reply, but dared to laugh. Suddenly I felt that this low-level natives were laughing at themselves!

After a few steps, he grabbed Mahmoud by the collar and scolded: "Humble native! ”。 As he spoke, he pressed his head and slammed it straight into the counter.

When the Chinese clerk saw this, he immediately stopped and said, "Sir, there can't be a fight in this place!" ”。

Although this 'Li Kee Grocery Store' has something to do with the above, he is just a scruple. This Chinese clerk can't control him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mahmoud's head slammed into the counter.

Looking at Mahmoud's dizzy appearance, the Dutch burst out laughing.

The customers in the back watched what the Dutch were doing, and they dared not speak out.

At this time, the whistle sounded, but it was the beginning of martial law.

Some of the customers who had not yet bought the goods looked at the Dutch angrily. If it weren't for him, it wouldn't have been delayed for so long.

Many of the customers in the back are also unwilling to pour in.

When the Dutch saw this, they immediately raised their guns and drove the crowd out.

Mahmoud was about to take his things and go, but the Dutchman was looking for him and insisted that he put them back.

Seven days' rations were all here, and Mahmoud certainly didn't want to put them back.

As a result, the Dutch snatched directly and punched and kicked Mahmood. Other customers came forward to buy things, and they were also scolded by the Dutch.

When a basket of rice was spilled on the ground, Mahmoud was furious. In the end, he was a man with strong blood, grabbed the abacus on the table and smashed it towards the Dutchman's skull.

With a click, the abacus broke in two, and the operator fell to the ground. The Dutch were also stunned and didn't react for a long time.

It's like a butterfly flapping its wings, and the anger of others is instantly ignited. surged up and beat the Dutch people to death.

The screams were heard, and they were quickly buried by angry shouts.

The movement here immediately attracted the attention of the guards! A hurried whistle sounded, and they rushed here.

Immediately after, the gunshots rang out, and the panic spread rapidly in an instant.

Zhang Yang, who was arranging tasks in the secret room, was also surprised when he heard that there was chaos on the street!
