Chapter 54: The Problem of the Wicked Guest
As soon as the sky was bright, a group of children who got up early to sprinkle and sweep had already opened the gate of the main entrance of the fire, took a brass basin and a wicker broom to sweep the front of the main entrance of the fire, and swept out along the street around the entrance of the main entrance of the fire.
There are many rules in Sijiu City, especially the various businesses that buy and sell people and poke the faΓ§ade on the street, all pay attention to being kind to others, and pay more attention to a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.
I opened the door of my business early in the morning, and I had to help the door next door to wave a few brooms. And the business next door who got up late only saw this face, and it immediately had to pile up smiling faces and say that they were tired, and when they got up early in the morning, they naturally swept the front of the people's door with their hands.
This look at the apprentices in the main gate of the fire swept half of the street in the morning, and there was no one on the street who did not boast or nod, and they all had to pick a thumbs up at the entrance of the main gate of the fire to praise - exquisite, with a tutor!
When there were a few pedestrians on the street, four spirited little apprentices had already stood in front of the main entrance of the fire to welcome the guests. As long as you look at the players walking in the main gate of Chaohuo, and then look at the patron signs held in the hands of those player customers, the little apprentice who welcomes the guests can shout out along the gate with their voices raised - there are distinguished guests!
There is also a special attention in this shouting - coming with a brass patron sign, the tone of the word 'have' in this shouting has to be dragged on longer. And the one who came with the jade patron sign, the word 'to' in the shouting sound had to be frustrated and rhymed, so that people felt bright when they listened to it!
And the one who didn't hold anything in his hand naturally shouted out the four words horizontally and vertically. The other apprentices waiting in the gate immediately greeted them, and they were greeted in front of themβthis master is here, what advice do you have?
Speaking of which, it means that the half-grown child has a good memory and is spiritual. After being led by Xiang Youbao to the street to eat a bowl of stew, and listening to the movements of those traders and shouting on the roadside, the nine monkeys came home and figured out such a set of methods to shout and welcome customers. After closing the door and practicing with his voice suppressed for a few nights, a group of little apprentices shouted out one after another, and half of the fire could understand which way of guests came!
Sitting in the courtyard of Erjin, Na Jiuye was holding a few oil cakes that the little apprentice had just bought in one hand, and a pot of small leaf tea that was just right for the hot and cold in the other, and was eating breakfast with taste, and his ears had already heard the horizontal and vertical shouting of the little apprentice in front of the gate: "There are distinguished guests"
Screaming the welcome voice that had been shouting for half a while, and then scaring the obviously screaming voice behind him, Na Jiuye had just swallowed the tea in his throat and choked into his lungs, and immediately stretched his neck and coughed!
Before Na Jiu Ye coughed a few times, the other two little apprentices who greeted the guests at the gate had already run into the second courtyard, and shouted to Na Jiu Ye with a white face: "Outside the master, there are many people with guns!" also beat the little junior brother who greeted the door! β
Trembling with his fingers, Na Jiuye couldn't say anything, so he could only point to the house where Xiang Youbao lived, as if he wanted the little apprentice to hurry up and call Xiang Youbao.
It was just a blink of an eye, and the two little apprentices who ran in to report the news had already understood what Na Jiu Ye meant, and shouted at Na Jiu Ye with a white face: "Senior Brother Na went out early in the morning, saying that he was sending Senior Sister to some kind of garden."
Stamping his foot hard, Na Jiu Ye easily took a breath in his throat, and shouted at the two little apprentices: "What about your uncle sitting in the hall?" β
Looking back at the gate leading to the second courtyard with some horror, the two little apprentices shouted in unison: "Call those with guns to see!" β
Stamped his feet again, Na Jiuye didn't care about saying anything, raised his hand and pointed to the side wall of the second courtyard: "Hurry up and go out from there to find your senior brother to come back, but don't ask your senior sister to come back!" β
Staring at the two little apprentices who nodded their heads and went up to the wall, Na Jiuye poured some tea from the teapot and wiped his face, and then looked down at the clothes on his body to see that there was nothing wrong, then he took a few breaths of breath and raised his legs towards the door leading to the lobby.
Lifting the open curtain, Na Jiuye saw a sturdy man in his twenties, wearing a top hat and a black yin danshilin cloth robe, poking in the lobby in twos and threes. A few little apprentices who greeted the guests at the door covered their faces and were driven into the lobby, and where they were originally standing, eight strong men with bulging waists and obviously carrying hard guys had already sealed the door of the main entrance of the fire hall!
It seemed that he heard that something was wrong and rushed out of the small ear room next to the lobby, and Xie Menshen and the others had already called a few strong men who had pulled out their pistols to take their guns and force them aside. Maybe it's really mad to look at the tall and big appearance of Xie Menshen, and on Xie Menshen's chest, there are three pistols poked at his feet!
On the Taishi chair at the door, there was a young man with a back head, wearing a suit, and playing with a snuffbox in his hand. From a rough point of view, this young man's appearance can be described as handsome. But if you look at the details, you can feel that the corners of this young man's eyes and eyebrows are full of evil spirit!
Seeing Na Jiu Ye come out of the courtyard of the second entry, the two big men who were waiting beside the young man suddenly reached out and took out a pistol from their waists, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Na Jiu Ye in a daze!
Glancing at Na Jiu Ye with hanging eyelids, the young man sitting on the Taishi chair did not speak, but raised his finger and pointed to a bird cage covered with black cloth placed beside him.
With the gesture made by the young man, another strong man who was waiting beside the young man immediately shouted coldly to Na Jiuye, "You are the one who is in charge here?!" β
Listening to the strong man's Beiping dialect, which was obviously mixed with the accent of the outer road, Na Jiu Ye took a deep breath and hugged his fist towards the young man sitting on the Taishi chair: "In Xia Na Jiu, Xi is the head of the main gate of Huo!" I don't know."
Without waiting for Na Jiu Ye to finish speaking, the young man who was sitting on the Taishi chair and playing with a snuff box waved his hand again, and the strong man who had just spoken immediately nodded, reached out and took out two things wrapped in red paper from his waist, raised his hand and threw them at Na Jiu Ye's feet!
Listening to the muffled sound of metal coming from under his feet, and then looking at the faint orange-yellow light from the cracks in the cracked red paper, Na Jiu Ye suddenly gasped!
There are many arrogant men in Sijiu City, and those who hold mountains of gold and silver in their hands are full of pits and valleys. Usually eat a banquet, looking at the mouth of the running hall shouting all the way to send up a big carp with an open mouth and a flicking tail, the hand is ten oceans of reward money thrown on the first floor, the ocean smashed out of the movement, can run the hall and the master of the kitchen Fu Le's teeth blind.
Besides, listening to the play that night, I don't want to talk about the small scenes in the tea house where the ocean and the big son are thrown on the stage, as long as it is Kunjiao'er who can be called loudly in Sijiu City, he picks up the curtain and raises his voice, and the men in Sijiu City here take the gold leaf and the ocean to tie out the big flower basket and send it to four, and the emphasis is on a four-happiness fortune!
If Kun Jiao'er on the stage really served the masters of the 49 City who held the horns well, there was no need to talk about the side, not to mention the brand-new head in the team, not to mention the purchase of two sets, and the drama box would have to be redone with sandalwood. There is one who really has fun and lost his soul, Leng is holding real gold, silver, and Dadong Zhu, and made a crown on the head of Kun Jiao'er, who sang Mu Guiying, who was in charge, with a weight of more than 30 catties! After wearing it, the rap drama is played, and everyone can be crushed to the neck!
But this is said again, although the men in Sijiu City are really willing to burn money, they can also say that they will burn money! If you really bump into someone who smashes a big ocean flute at a person to show arrogance, maybe the ocean smashes out a car, and what can be exchanged for it is only two words - stupid!
If such a stupid lack is bumped into by someone, it won't be too much, not for a long time, even if this stupid lack has a sea of gold and silver at home, it can also make the heroes and heroes of the rolls and bags in Sijiu City wash it all away! If you have a good fate, you will be a general on the street, and if you have a bad fate, maybe a month later, it will be a pave of grass that has swept away the end of Yizhuang outside the city!
The lords in Sijiu City are still like this, not to mention the rich people who come from outside! But if you expose your wealth indiscriminately in Sijiu City, if you can't keep it, it will be the end of your wealth and your life to the west
As for the man in front of him, the twenty or so strong men around him walked and stood in the ranks, and the hard guys in his waist did not shy away from others, and he raised his hand even more to throw out two big yellow croakers like throwing a lump
A foreigner dares to be so arrogant in Sijiu City, no matter how you look at it, this master in front of him is not a character to mess with!
Bent down and picked up two big yellow croakers from the ground, Na Jiu Ye held the two big yellow croakers in both hands and put them on the table next to the Taishi's chair, but he arched his hand towards the young man who was always playing with a snuff box: "This lord, your reward is too thick, my fire main gatehouse has low eaves, and it is plain for no reason, I really can't stand your reward!" β
The young man playing with the snuffbox just tilted his mouth towards the bird cage on the table next to him, and the strong man who threw out two big yellow croakers immediately shouted at Na Jiuye: "There is a thrush in this cage!" Give you three days to train this thrush into thirty-six calls, and our young master will have a heavy reward! If it doesn't work."
The corners of his mouth showed a sinister smile, and the strong man who spoke reached out like lightning and took out a German-made twenty-shot pistol on his waist, crossed his wrist and pointed to the purlin on the roof, and shouted in a low voice: "This room is not bright, see the master open a skylight for you!" β
Before Na Jiuye, whose face was pale with shock, screamed, the strong man picked his fingers, and the twenty rings of virtue in his hand suddenly made a burst of sound like fried beans!
As the dust fell from the roof, the young man who had been playing with the snuffbox sniffled in disgust, looked up at the strong man who was blowing the muzzle of the gun, and exclaimed, "Do you have a brain in your head to make such a big noise and raise a room of ashes?" β
Putting the snuffbox next to his nostrils, the young man inhaled his snuff hard, frowned and sneezed violently: "The words are all clear, take the things in three days, let's go!" β
Courageous, Na Jiu Ye stretched out his arms and stopped in front of the young man: "This master, but if you look for it in Sijiu City, no one can train a thrush to produce thirty-six kinds of mouths within three days!" You're a strong man! β
With a sneer, the young man didn't look at Na Jiuye who was blocking in front of him, but just raised his legs and walked out by himself.
And at the same time as the young man raised his legs, the strong man who spoke crossed his arm and grabbed Na Jiuye. When the young man had already walked to the door of the main hall of the fire, he suppressed his voice and smiled in Na Jiuye's ear: "Don't know what to do!" My young master speaks, never says it a second time! β
