Chapter 387: Sun Kecai
Before he walked downstairs, Shen Wuyan heard the shopkeeper who had taught him before to be concise, but with a voice that could not be disobeyed.
"Our store is open every hour, and now it's only half an hour later, and you're going to break in...... This is our rule......"
The hour is from five to seven o'clock in the morning in the later generations, and the so-called hour is from seven to nine o'clock, and after half an hour it is six o'clock. Of course, there were no twenty-four o'clock in ancient times, so the time was measured by ugliness.
The shopkeeper's words are very reasonable, and the voice is not too loud, but because every sentence is reasonable, it is also very convincing, and it is not a threat.
It's just that when these words were heard by the coachman at the head, he showed obvious impatience, but he would not get up so early on weekdays, but today because of the coincidence, so he got up early in the morning, and he was really sorry for the warm and fragrant quilt.
He was already angry in his heart, but he kept listening to the endless chatter of the rigid shopkeeper, so he was even more annoyed, so he said a sentence: "The rules are dead, and you are old too?" ”
The coachman was already burly, so he spoke much rougher, and though his words were quite peaceful, he was obviously offended, but the shopkeeper was not angry.
He still had a calm face, a righteous face on his face, and said loudly: "It is natural to live below, but the rules must be followed, otherwise everyone will break this rule...... Isn't it useless to make this rule? ”
This was also very reasonable, and even the coachman was dumbfounded for a while, but he was still angry, and besides, the carriage had already forced itself into the backyard, and he could leave only after he had settled down.
But I don't know why, the coachman walked forward while leading the horse, and then replied: "If you want me to say that you old man is a dead brain, the old brothers have already come in, and it is useless to say no matter how much you say." ”
The coachman glanced at the carriage with a smile, then at the burly coachman, snorted lightly, and said disdainfully: "What if you come in, the shop is under the order, you can let these things disappear here at any time......"
"You dare." The coachman looked at the shopkeeper and immediately understood, and what he meant by his words was that he would throw these things out of the inn after the coachman had left, and the coachman was even more angry.
The sound became much louder, but it also woke up many of the guests staying in the hotel, and several of them who were not very good-tempered had already opened the window and were about to shout, but when they saw the burly coachman, they immediately retracted their heads with interest.
However, the shopkeeper always looked calm, and was not afraid of the slightest bit because of the terrible appearance of the coachman, and said calmly: "Why don't you dare, the shop is down...... The rules are also in place for a long time. ”
"I'm persuading you to put away your broken rules, and don't look at where these things came from." The coachman was clearly confident in where these things came from, and his voice was raised a little.
The shopkeeper was also a little curious, and when he looked at it, he saw that there was a word "Sun" engraved on the carriage cover, which was not big, but if you looked closely, you could see it, and you could see the meaning of it.
This is the object of the Sun family with status in Liaodong, whether it is for the officers and soldiers of Liaodong, or the small traders in the streets and alleys, they are very useful.
However, the shopkeeper's look disappointed the proud coachman slightly, and the other party only opened his mouth, showing a look of understanding, and then there were several mockery in his eyes.
Then I heard the shopkeeper chuckle and said coldly: "Who am I so ignorant of doing business...... It turned out to be the Sun family......"
"You ......" The coachman heard that the shopkeeper was laughing at the Sun family, and immediately clenched his fists and wanted to hit the shopkeeper.
The Sun family is an incomparable honor for him, although it is only a few of the coachmen's small stewards, and his subordinates are only in charge of a few people, and even the entire Sun family is not worth mentioning at all.
Even so, the Sun family still gave him enough glory, just with the Sun family's moves, no one dared to provoke him in Liaodong, and there were even countless envious people, which made him very useful.
It's just that at this time, the shopkeeper of this small inn dared to laugh at the Sun family like this, how could he bear it?
The fist had already been raised, but it had not fallen for a long time, and the shopkeeper had not dodged half a step, and there was still a look of disdain on his face, as if even if the master of the Sun family was like this again, he was not afraid at all.
The other party's calmness also made the coachman mutter in his heart, so he didn't dare to shoot easily, it was nothing to hurt himself, and he couldn't afford to hurt the glory of the Sun family.
In the end, he still withdrew his fist, and then said coldly: "What the hell are you going to do......"
The shopkeeper smiled faintly, then pointed to the open door, and said softly, "Waiting at the door...... When the hour comes, come in, that's the rule. ”
Shen Wuyan, who was standing on the side, looked at this scene, and suddenly secretly frightened, thinking that he could enter the shop that day because he missed the hour, but he also broke the rules, fortunately, the shopkeeper was gracious, otherwise he would have to wait outside the door for the shop to open the next day.
When he was groaning like this, he saw that the coachman was still trying to argue, so he hurriedly trotted forward to stop the coachman, and then hugged his fist at the shopkeeper and said, "It's really ...... Please forgive me, sir, this little brother is for the goods that are being delivered under the ......"
The shopkeeper's small eyes raised slightly, and he looked at Shen Wuyan slightly, and the expression on his face never changed in the slightest: "No one's." ”
Shen Wuyan understood that such a person could not change his mind no matter what, since he obeyed the rules like this, then there was a reason for him, and he didn't say much, waved his hand, and said softly: "Park the carriage in front of the door first." ”
The coachman was still unwilling in his heart, and wanted to say something to Shen Wuyan, but was stopped by Shen Wuyan, and finally had to drive all the carriages that had already driven into the backyard out of the hospital.
After the group left the backyard, they heard the shopkeeper say loudly, "I disturbed your dreams just now because of some trivial things...... We will prepare a snack for each room this morning......"
Shen Wuyan, who had just walked out of the backyard gate, heard this, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he hurriedly turned back to look at the shopkeeper, but saw that the other party was still so ordinary, and there was nothing strange about it, so he sighed secretly before giving up.
It was still early in the morning, so there were no pedestrians along the street. The seven carriages parked in front of the door are also very spacious and not very crowded.
Shen Wuyan simply asked some questions about the operation of the carriage, after all, the four-wheeled carriage was still very rare in the world, and the four-wheeled carriage was only used as a hearse, so there may still be some problems in operation.
However, this carriage was originally designed by Shen Wuyan, and he knew the principles best, so he mastered it quickly, and he was already able to operate it simply by asking the coachman some questions.
The coachman is also surnamed Sun, and his name is . However, there is no kinship with the Sun family, just a simple surname.
In addition to sending the carriage this time, he was also responsible for taking the remaining six coachmen and responsible for the driving of the mission from Ningyuan to Li Chao, after all, only these few people could drive in this four-wheeled carriage now.
After getting to know Sun Kecai briefly, he found that the other party was also an enthusiastic person, except that he had a bigger temper on weekdays, but in essence, he was loyal to the Sun family and was quite sincere.
The two talked very happily, probably because Sun Kecai had already known the origin of the other party, so there was a little more respect in his words for no reason.
Shen Wuyan didn't care about this, he probably explained to the other party some clothes and tools that needed to be prepared along the way, and asked about the situation at home, which was nothing more than some small talk.
"The innkeeper...... It's not familiar, but it's said that this inn has been ...... years ago But the Liao people have this temper ......"
After Sun Kecai said this, Shen Wuyan realized that the shopkeeper spoke a thick Liao dialect, as if he was a very innocent Liao person.
Liao human nature is already strong, Shen Wuyan encountered the lady who sold breakfast on the street before, and now when he sees the shopkeeper of this inn, he has a deeper understanding.
"The master wants to pass you a message, saying that the items are in the carriage, if there is progress, I hope Mr. Shen will ...... early" Before the words were finished, the coachman showed a hint of an obscure smile.
Shen Wuyan quickly understood the meaning, Master Sun just hoped that he would make progress in transforming firearms, so he informed him in advance, so that they could improve their casting methods in advance.
The Sun family is based on this, so the level of firearms technology is equal to everything, there can be no business, but the technical means must continue to make progress, which can maintain the prosperity of the Sun family.
Shen Wuyan laughed lightly, and immediately got into a carriage.
After some remodeling, the interior of the carriage has been greatly enlarged, and there are two piles of objects on the ground covered with white cloth, and there are no eyebrows to be seen.
Shen Wuyan stepped forward and lifted a white cloth, and then swept his gaze, and the palm-sized musket on the ground, although it looked very delicate, Shen Wuyan knew that the weight was not light.
"Revolver ......" A satisfied smile flashed at the corner of Shen Wuyan's mouth, and then he picked up a musket and looked at it for a while, and after making sure that it was correct, he carefully wrapped it in a white cloth.
After a moment's pause, he lifted another piece of white cloth, and suddenly a cannon the size of a small stone lion was revealed, and next to the cannon was a box, probably for gunpowder.
After all, this cannon was still a little bulky, but Shen Wuyan was not very satisfied, so he glanced at it a few times, and after determining the problem, he slowly covered it with a white cloth, and then picked up the musket wrapped in the white cloth before and stuffed it into his arms, and jumped out of the carriage.
After a while, it was finally time to open the door, and Sun Ke was finally able to drive the carriage into the backyard.
Shen Wuyan was about to give Sun Kecai a reward, but was disturbed by a soldier galloping over.
The soldier came on horseback, the speed was obviously very fast, his face was hurried, he didn't wait to salute Shen Wuyan, and hurriedly said: "General Li has an invitation...... Please also ask Mr. Shen to go quickly. ”
