Chapter 9 Gold Bars for Bells
"So what do we do next?" Tang Xinyi is now accustomed to Wei Qidong's arrangement and command. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The fall of Pingjin is irretrievable, and there is nothing we can do. Next is the Battle of Nankou, I have the idea to participate in it, and I have to let the little devil bleed well. Wei Qidong said with blazing eyes.
For the Battle of Nankou, Tang Xinyi still knows a little, the combined number of troops on both sides is more than 100,000, although it is not a big battle, but she never thought of what the two of them could do in such a big battle, one is not good, I am afraid that the bones will be directly gone.
However, Tang Xinyi did not have any objections, she knew that Wei Qidong was definitely not that kind of reckless person, since he dared to participate, and threatened to let the little devil bleed more, it showed that he was somewhat sure.
"I've barely helped me for a while, if you have time, guide me more, I don't want to be the so-called vase in your mouth, and I hope you don't underestimate me, I believe I can do a good job." Tang Xinyi said sincerely.
Wei Qidong smiled and said: "I naturally won't underestimate you, even many women in this era are doing very well, not to mention that you are a modern highly educated intellectual woman, as long as you are willing to work hard, I believe you are more powerful than those Japanese women." ”
With Wei Qidong's encouragement, Tang Xinyi rarely showed some smiles.
"The two hundred kilograms of gold I gave you are your start-up capital, I will probably plan for you what to do, first of all, seize the time to learn the Japanese of this era, there are even Japanese dialects in various places in the system, and there are pronunciations, so learn more when you have time."
"There are also all kinds of military knowledge, seize the time to learn, if you don't understand, ask me at any time, and I will also give targeted guidance."
"Of course, the most important thing is actual combat, and I will let you participate in the next battle, so you have to work hard to improve your guts, shooting, reconnaissance and other abilities......"
Wei Qidong said a lot in one breath, Tang Xinyi quickly remembered it, and also had her own plan, it can be seen that she is a girl with strong learning ability.
Wei Qidong took Tang Xinyi all the way to Changping County, and the Chinese people living in North China did not seem to realize that the nationwide War of Resistance had actually broken out, and regarded the incident as an ordinary friction between the Chinese and Japanese armies. The main reason is that there have been countless frictions between the Chinese army and the Japanese army in recent years, and in the end it has not evolved into an uncontrollable situation. So in their minds, this time it was the same, and they had already formed a habit.
The county seat was full of people, Wei Qidong dressed up as a small businessman, took Tang Xinyi to rent a room in a hotel first, and then appeared alone in the largest blacksmith shop in the county.
"Guest, what kind of utensils are you going to build?" Seeing that Wei Qidong seemed to be a rich man, the guy immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"I have a big business to talk to you about, please come to your boss." Wei Qidong raised some shelves and said.
"Okay, okay, guest officer, wait a minute." When the guy heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and while beckoning Wei Qidong to sit down, he immediately went into the back room to call someone, and after a while, the guy came over with a slightly chubby middle-aged man, looking shrewd.
"Ah, hello boss." Seeing Wei Qidong, the middle-aged man immediately arched his hand and stepped forward with a smile.
Wei Qidong stood up, walked in front of the middle-aged man, turned his palm slightly, revealing the golden thing in his palm, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he hurriedly said, "Boss, let's go into the inner room to talk." ”
Wei Qidong smiled and immediately followed the middle-aged man to a room in the inner room.
The middle-aged man closed the door and said impatiently, "Boss, what can you do for you?" ”
Wei Qidong didn't say much, he directly took out a drawing from his arms and put it on the table, the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward to inspect it, and at first glance, it was very similar to the big bell knocked by the monks in the temple, but it was a little different from the big bell, because there was no Sanskrit on the big bell, and it also required several openings and other requirements.
"I need to be about eight feet high, about five feet in diameter at the top of the bell, about twelve feet in diameter at the mouth of the bell, and at least five inches thick on the wall. Then speak here......" Wei Qidong explained carefully, and the middle-aged man listened carefully.
"I don't ask you to look good or be precise, but the wall thickness can't vary much, and the size of the openings shouldn't deviate much, and you must use the best materials, I want it to be ......strong enough," Wei Qidong added.
"Understood?" After finishing speaking, Wei Qidong asked.
"Understood, understood." The middle-aged man hurriedly patted his chest and promised, with a smile on his face, such a big thing, but a big business, and then rubbed his hands a little twisted, "This price." ”
Wei Qidong immediately took out two bundles of wrapped silver dollars from his pocket, tore open the paper outside, and suddenly it was a brand new silver dollar. Although the silver dollar has withdrawn from the mainstream market due to the currency reform in previous years, there are still many people who prefer to trade the silver dollar.
After the middle-aged man saw dozens of silver dollars, his eyes narrowed with a smile, but he immediately smiled and said a little embarrassedly, "Boss, this thing is extremely bulky and big, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to make this thing good at this price." ”
"It's not the price, it's just the deposit. I don't care what method you use, after five days, I will pick up the goods, and if I am satisfied, this is yours. Wei Qidong took out the gold bars that had been exposed to the middle-aged man and shook them again.
"Ah......" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then slapped his palms and immediately patted his chest to promise, "It's good to say, it's easy to say, in the past five days, I will go into battle in person, even if I don't eat or drink, I will finish your affairs first." ”
After the transaction intention was reached, the middle-aged man respectfully sent Wei Qidong to the door, and then hurriedly summoned his subordinates to start construction, this blacksmith shop has never received such a large amount of business since his father opened, and he can't help but be unconcerned. After gathering the personnel, the middle-aged man directly closed the door of the shop, stopped taking other business, and specialized in refining Wei Qidong's strange thing in the backyard.
The smart middle-aged man didn't ask much about what it was for, but just asked how to deliver it, which meant that Wei Qidong how to take away such a heavy thing, Wei Qidong said that he was responsible, and the middle-aged man didn't ask anything else.
Immediately, Wei Qidong took a detour back to the hotel, and for the remaining few days, Wei Qidong was very low-key, and spent most of his time teaching Tang Xinyi all aspects of knowledge.
As soon as the delivery time came, Wei Qidong dressed up, came to the door of the blacksmith shop at about eight o'clock in the evening, observed the surroundings and found nothing abnormal, and then knocked on the door of the blacksmith shop. After the people in the blacksmith shop looked through the crack in the door, they found that it was Wei Qidong, and hurriedly opened the door to welcome in.
"Guest officer, please come here." The blacksmith shop owner dismissed the others, and then personally welcomed Wei Qidong to the backyard.
Sure enough, on the empty ground in the backyard, Wei Qidong saw what he wanted, carefully inspected it, and was still very satisfied.
Wei Qidong flipped his palm, and the gold bar appeared in his palm again, and when he saw this gold bar, the blacksmith shop owner's eyes lit up, and he knew that the business was done. However, when he blinked his eyes, he saw that Wei Qidong had two gold bars in his hand, and he thought that Wei Qidong wanted to thank him doubly.
"One of them is your remuneration, and the other one, I want to borrow your shop for half a month, within half a month, you can take your people wherever you want to be happy, I don't want to see ......other people in the blacksmith shop," Wei Qidong said lightly.
The blacksmith shop owner was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and immediately patted his chest, "Okay." ”
At the same time, his palm trembled a little and touched the two gold bars in Wei Qidong's hand, not to mention renting a gold bar for half a month, even if he bought his entire shop, it would be more than enough, and there was nothing valuable in it.
Afraid that Wei Qidong would regret it, the boss immediately paid the guys double the wages, and then sent them away, and he himself quickly packed up his bed and ran away.
When all the people in the blacksmith shop had left, Wei Qidong closed all the doors and came to the strange bell that had been exchanged for two gold bars.
