Chapter 1249: You're not afraid of losing your life
The general suddenly turned around and looked at He Bensheng coldly, his eyes were very scary, and He Bensheng was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and almost sat on the ground.
"If you take it, take it, will our Far Eastern Army still eat you for nothing?" After he finished speaking, he shook his hand, threw the silver to He Bensheng, and then turned to leave.
He Bensheng took the money bag and looked at the back of the general blankly, feeling more and more bottomless. If the other party takes the silver, he will feel more steady, but the other party throws away a sentence and leaves, is it because he thinks that the silver is less.
He shook his head, then opened the bag, revealing a bright color.
Dozens of silver-white silver coins surprised He Bensheng. This is "flower silver", he has only seen it once, it is rarely circulated in the market, and as long as it appears, it will be exchanged by large families and stored in the silver treasury at home.
Today, the lunch of the 400 people made by Fuyun to the restaurant actually didn't cost so much silver at all, and it was all ingredients that had been put for a few days.
On weekdays, most of the customers who come to the restaurant are porters, coachmen and boatmen on the docks, and they are all bitter people who make money with their strength.
The more generous ones are some small traders who come and go from the south to the north, all of whom are calculating traders, and how can there be people who squander lavishly when they go out. Therefore, I usually rely on small profits and quick turnover, a large amount of pipes, and a busy day from morning to night, and there is not much profit.
But I never thought that I would help the thief army cook a meal today, and the silver given by the thief army was absolutely unimaginable in the past. But today, although these dozens of "flower silver" are easy to earn, He Bensheng feels that the silver is hot. This fierce army of thieves is so easy to serve, if something really goes wrong, what if it is good.
"Lao He...... Lao He ......"
When He Bensheng was kicking and restless, he found that the shopkeeper of the shop next to him poked his head out and shouted at him in a low voice, this shop is an inn, and the two families get along well on weekdays, so He Bensheng walked over.
The innkeeper looked carefully at both sides of the street, and then asked in a low voice, "Old He...... What does that mean......
"Today, a few military masters opened the shop and asked me to prepare lunch for hundreds of people for them.
The shopkeeper comforted and said, "Alas...... Lao He, let's look at it, and we should break the fortune and eliminate the disaster......"
He Bensheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that there is no broken wealth, these military masters are generous, and they left dozens of "flower silver" before leaving. ”
"What ......"
The innkeeper stared at him when he heard this, and he might as well say jealously: "Lao He, you can make a lot of money now." ”
He Bensheng said with a bitter face: "Don't be sarcastic about me, I'm worried, this silver is so easy to earn?" I feel hot with my hands when I hold the silver now. ”
The innkeeper also nodded and said, "Who says it's not, you should be careful these days." By the way, Lao He, you fired today anyway, so let's just start the business. The rice and fish in our inn have long been out of order. ”
He Bensheng thought for a while and said, "Nacheng, what do you want, just speak, I still have some things left in the store." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly returned to the inn and knocked on the door of the guest room, the ingredients in the inn have long been exhausted in the past few days, and the guests in the store have been hungry for a day, this time they came to the restaurant to order food, and they can also take the opportunity to make a profit from the guests in the store.
Not only the inns on the side, but also other shops on the street have ordered food from Fuyunlai Restaurant, and they are all very generous. The ingredients that He Bensheng had accumulated for a few days were consumed before the evening, and even the spirits stored in the store on weekdays were sold cleanly.
Early the next morning, Qin Ergou led people to carry the empty steaming drawer and came to the Fuyunlai Restaurant again. Yesterday he ordered a meal for the officers and men of the whole battalion here, and the officers and men ate it so deliciously.
Ever since the troops came out of Henan, they have been eating compressed biscuits and canned food. At that time, the atmosphere in Linqingzhou City was very tense, so the officers and soldiers still ate three meals a day, and they still ate compressed biscuits, dried meat, and dried vegetables, and boiled porridge together.
It was not until reinforcements from the cavalry battalion and overseas battalions arrived, and the Linqing garrison was temporarily established, that the troops tried to make contact with the local people.
Not only did Qin Ergou's battalion order lunch at a local restaurant, but yesterday the cavalry battalion and the overseas battalion also chose a restaurant in their own defense area to order food, and they both left silver dollars in the end.
"Bang Bang ......"
He Bensheng opened the door of the shop with a frightened face and found that the general from yesterday had come again. He hurriedly and cautiously greeted him, and said respectfully: "Master Jun, the taste of yesterday's meal is okay......
"Hmm...... Yes, I'm here today to discuss something with you. In the future, if you cook a lunch for us every day, you will come according to yesterday's standard, rest assured, the silver will be indispensable to you. ”
When He Bensheng heard this, he immediately said with a bitter face: "Master Jun, the silver you gave yesterday is enough to make a few more meals for you." But now the ingredients in the store are gone......"
Qin Ergou listened to He Bensheng's words and was angry. He said angrily: "If you don't have the ingredients, then you won't go to the shops in the city......"
He Bensheng slandered in his heart, you are all fierce, who dares to go on the street. But he didn't dare to say this, so he could only laugh and say: "Master Jun, you have entered the city, and everyone doesn't know what the charter is, and they don't dare to open it in the past few days." ”
Qin Ergou shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Who won't let you open, as long as you don't act as a traitor and don't pick quarrels and provoke trouble, you can do whatever you want." In this way, I will give you a task, and when you go to the city to load the goods, you will also help us publicize it, so that everyone will not be nervous, and you will be able to live like before.
The military discipline of our Far Eastern Army is strict, and after entering the city, it has suppressed some black sheep in the city, but has it harassed the people in the city? Can you force your way through a private house? Molested women? I don't know what you're afraid of. Our Far Eastern Army is not the official army of the Ming Dynasty, it only knows how to harm the common people, nor is it a thief, it only knows how to kill people and plunder. ”
He Bensheng hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head vigorously when he heard this, and praised the Far Eastern Army again and again as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, which was quite the legacy of Yue Wumu back then.
"Don't pick all the nice things to say, you go to Zhangluo now, and complete the task I gave you to publicize the policy of our Far Eastern Army. Also, if you open your business, it won't open for a few days, and you're not afraid of losing money. ”
After Qin Ergou finished speaking, he left with the soldiers, leaving He Bensheng standing there in a daze. Although he didn't understand what Qin Ergou said, he knew the charter of the thief army, that is, everyone can do whatever they have to do, as long as they don't break the law. (To be continued.) )
