Chapter 160: Left and Right (I)

If you want to find a carved and splendid boundary in Sijiu City, it is estimated that the gentlemen walking on the scene in Sijiu City can stretch out their palms and count the noon with their fingers!

Needless to say, even if it was plagued by the Western bandits of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Forbidden City still retained a lot of picturesque scenery and fairy palaces.

In the early years, the mansions and courtyards of the princes Baylor, famous generals and ministers, and wealthy businessmen were all picked up by the top registered craftsmen in Sijiu City.

The rockery is not limited to the size, non-Taihu stone, Lingbi stone, Kunshi, and British stone are not used. Needless to say, the rockery must also have natural moss and young trees, which can meet the feng shui number of the mountain management people. There is a living mountain in the house, and the natural people in this house are thriving!

It doesn't matter where it is planted, the Xiangfei bamboo is at least, and the tea pole bamboo is a make-do. Square bamboo, red bamboo, Buddha belly bamboo, green bamboo, elephant bamboo, flower bamboo can be the visiting guests to say - good.

There are those who are really willing to spend their hearts and minds, and plant a few poles of caryophyllum or solid bamboo next to the octagonal pavilion, regardless of whether it is a Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River or a writer in the north, as long as you glance at the caryophyllum or solid bamboo, most of you have to shake your head and praise the master's house - you are the master who really knows how to be elegant!

Even if it is a shadow wall that covers the corridor, there is a window in seven steps and a hole in nine turns on the wall, which is obviously the same courtyard scenery, but it can be seen from every window, but it is always a different style! Taking advantage of the cool breeze on the summer night and the rising moon to enjoy the scenery, the family-raised Kunqu opera team waited for a piece of "Guanghan Palace" from afar, and that person could really feel the wind under his armpits, floating like a fairy

But behind such a rich and prosperous scenery, the boundaries buried in Sijiu City are not old and young?

The cobweb-like open ditch is overflowing with sewage, and in the summer under the sun, I feel a foul smell from the two miles of passing by, and I suddenly feel dizzy, so I have to quickly take a sip of the medicinal tea to clear the heat and dispel the miasma and drink it, so as to slightly eliminate the disgusting and nauseating taste in my heart.

The garbage mountains on the back street are almost higher than the surrounding eaves, and some unkempt and living ghosts who have no other way to live in Sijiu City are also rummaging and picking up on the garbage mountain, trying to find something that can be used to exchange food for life. Sometimes I pulled open a pile of ashes, and I saw a dead man buried under the ashes, and those figures who were picking up garbage seemed to see a treasure, and they pulled the clothes on the corpse clean in three or two clicks, and finally had to pry open the mouth of the corpse, hoping that there would be a few gold teeth in the mouth of the corpse

The government of the Republic of China did not completely ignore these dirty chores in Sijiu City, but the oceans allocated in a year passed through the layers and drifted everywhere, and when they got the coolies in the clean streets, it was enough for a family of three to eat half a month's salary for hybrid noodles. Just buy a little bit of silver that is not salty and vinegar is not sour, and it is not without the filial piety to the coolie leaders on the street.

Since the money in hand is not enough for the family to eat, the coolies who clean the street can only step on some side jobs and earn a few changes to support their families. On weekdays, it's really good to be able to clean the streets, who has the leisure to care whether the back streets and alleys are dirty or clean?

Ordinary back streets and alleys are not cleaned by coolies who are willing to take care of them, not to mention the cattle and horse market in the south city!

The cattle and horses from all over the world gathered in this place to trade, and there was no shortage of black and white people who collected money and taxes all the way, but there was no one in charge. During the day, the people who came to trade with large animals stood in the dung of cattle and horses and the rotten fodder and grass dregs, pinched their fingers, rolled up their sleeves and bargained, and then carried the purse on their backs and led the big animals that had not been sold to their homes at night. After a long time, across the distance of the two streets of Niuma Market, you can smell the unique smell of a place where large animals are gathered.

But even if it is dirty and messy like this, there is really a type of character in the Niuma Market in the south of the city, and it has not delayed this opportunity to make a fortune!

Since the time of the Great Qing Dynasty, there have been many granges around Sijiu City, and the main family is either a relative of the emperor or a feudal official, and those granges are also half-truthfully planted with some rice, wheat and miscellaneous grains, and the annual harvest has to be sent to the warehouses of those grange owners, which can be regarded as a large amount of income for those grange owners.

Since it is farming, it is natural to fertilize. I don't know when the cattle and horse market started, but there was a type of character who made a fortune by pointing to the cow and horse dung poured out every day in the cattle and horse market. Because the big names and palms in the five elements and eight works in the city are called heads, and the characters who make a fortune by pointing to cow and horse dung are also called dung heads by the lords of the four or nine cities.

This dung head usually does not appear in the cattle and horse market in broad daylight, but looks at the sky is about to wipe black, and everyone in the cattle and horse market has to go, so he shook and led a few broken characters into the cattle and horse market, and moved a bench across the street of the cattle and horse market, and the wooden stick that was about four feet long in his hand knocked on the bench he was sitting on.

With the sound of beating on the benches, the coolies cleaning the streets around the cattle and horse market also gathered around the dung leader, and gathered the livestock manure scattered all over the cattle and horse market into a pile with the shovel in his hand, and then took a few coolies from the hand of the dung head and sold them to earn a small amount of money.

Almost at the moment when the dung heap was gathered, the steward of the grange, who rushed from the grange outside the city to collect the dung, also pinched the hour to the corner of the cow and horse market. When everyone had gathered, the dung leader got up from the bench, pinched the stick in his hand and stabbed it at the gathered dung heap, and collected the money according to the length of the stick that had been stabbed into the dung heap. Sensei looked at the dung was a dirty thing, but after such a night's work, the dung heaps gathered in the cattle and horse market could be exchanged for three or five white flowers in the ocean!

It is said that black eyes can't see silver, and for this three or five oceans a day, the dung head in the cattle and horse market almost has to change a face after three or five months. The character who can sit on the bench at the corner of the Niumashi street is naturally the winner, and whether the loser is soaking in the Yongding River or buried in the garbage somewhere, naturally no one cares.

is like the dung head of the current Niuma Market in the south of the city, who was originally an unknown green-skinned gangster on the street near the left side of the Niuma Market, and he hasn't even found a way to worship the pole. I don't have a hobby on weekdays.,It's a virtue that doesn't kill when you see the dice.。 Guessing that he lost the last eldest son in his waist in a casino that he couldn't afford to mess with, this green-skinned gangster wandered around the street with red eyes, and at a glance he saw the dung head at the corner of Niumashi Street that had just collected a few oceans of dung.

In the dead of night, no one could see what kind of fight the green-skinned bastard had with the dung boss who had just collected a few pieces of the ocean. But in the evening of the next day, the green-skinned gangster had several deep scars on his face, and sat on the street of Niuma Market with the four-foot-long wooden stick, which was more than half a year!

It is estimated that he is planning to poke his own name, and this green-skinned gangster also pointed to the scars on his face as a signboard, and took the name of a scar master, but no one mentioned his real name at all.

In winter, it was cold early, and I had only eaten lunch for a short time, and I saw that the sky had gradually darkened. Putting on a newly made thick cotton robe, Scar Ye picked up the four-foot-long wooden stick from the door, pinned two sharp small sticks to his waist, and then raised his legs and walked towards the door.

As soon as I saw Scar Ye open the door and come out, a few broken urges who had been at the door of Scar Ye immediately greeted him, and shouted at the hideous Scar Master with a sneer: "Scar Master, have you come out early for a while today?" ”

"Master Scar, it's still early at this time, and the coolies on the street haven't been cleaned yet, why don't we find a place to drink hot first?"

Reaching out and feeling out a few oceans from his coat pocket, Scar Ye raised his hand and threw those oceans on the ground: "One by one, they are counting on going out with me to fight the autumn breeze, right?" These oceans are one by one, and they are firmly collected in their waists! In the past few days, I have been busy hitting the big smoke hall and breaking through the secret door, and I have all given me enough energy to do serious things! ”

Just looked at a few pieces of ocean that Scar Ye threw on the ground, and a few broken people who followed Scar Ye suddenly laughed toothlessly, and hurriedly picked up their respective oceans from the ground and put them into their arms, but they looked at Scar Ye with a hideous face very uneasily.

In ordinary seasons, these broken urges who followed Scar's side did not follow Scar Ye out to fight the autumn breeze and earn benefits. Every once in a while, Scar Ye can also find a few dollars from his waist to reward. But it's like such a scene of one person and one ocean, but it's still the big girl getting on the sedan chair - the first time!

The green-skinned gangsters in Sijiu City, when it comes to righteousness, are all masters who can run horses with their tongues and beat people with their mouths. But if you really move the real character, it is rare to rush to the front, but it is ordinary to run to the back. Talking big and making small money is even more commonplace! But if the gangsters spill a lot of real money and silver benefits, then maybe they have to do some hard-working work for those broken characters below! If you bump into the narrow luck, it is not good to say that the ocean in the waist has not been covered with heat, and the cold little piece will have to be stabbed into the heart!

If you can meet like this, you can enjoy the benefits of a piece of the ocean, but this scar master wants to do something big with his life?

Looking at the few uneasy and uneasy characters in front of him with some disdain, Scar Ye snorted coldly, raised his legs and walked in the direction of the street: "Look at your virtue!" On weekdays, all of them are killing seven and slaughtering eight, but if you really hear a stir, your mouth will be cleaned up! It's all blind and thinking about it, not asking you to fight hard! Ma Yoer went to the street and gathered all the coolies who cleaned the streets to the cattle and horse market. Tell the coolies in Zijing Street that today's work is not young and old, compare the price of the old days, and the scar master will double it, and ask them to sell me this strength! ”

Nodding and answering Scar's words, a broken fart came to Scar's side: "Scar, this cattle and horse market is the first and fifteenth day of the new year, and the first night will let those coolies who clean the street clean up the scene more or less." But isn't it right today? ”

Raising his foot and kicking the broken urging that came to his side, Scar Ye wrung his brows and shouted in a low voice: "On weekdays, you smoke a lot and go to the secret door, you are smarter than anyone else, but you really encounter something serious, your head is just a decoration - the bullfighting scene of the new and old fire main gate Shuanglong betting, isn't it tomorrow morning?!" ”

Although he was kicked hard by Scar, the scorn on his face did not change at all, and he once again came to Scar Ye who was striding forward: "Scar, you have wronged me!" In the scene of the double dragon betting, the characters in Sijiu City who walked the scene all the way had to take out the few bodies in their waists to play, how could they still remember the days of this big event? It's just that they are gambling in the cattle and horse market, but what's in the way of us? Do you have to bother cleaning up the scene for them? ”

Towards the dozen or so craftsmen who were pushing wood with a rack cart and walking towards the cattle and horse market at the street in front of him, Scar Ye whispered to the smiling and smiling characters: "Just this scene of the double dragon betting, the black and white characters in Sijiu City are all shocked!" Duan Ye in the patrol police station spoke, and regardless of the black and white, five elements and eight works, he had to play a role in this scene of Shuanglong's betting. At dawn tomorrow, if someone's family has a leak in the eating errand they manage on weekdays, they will look at the big ground in Sijiu City, and it is estimated that there will be no place to stand in the future! ”

Seeing that several leaders in the craftsman shop were all following the frame car in the direction of the cattle and horse market, the broken urging who followed the scar master suddenly shrank his neck: "Good guy, all the four leaders in the craftsman shop are all here, and even the old generation characters who plan to wash their hands in the golden basin during the New Year have come out, this scene of double dragon gambling will be regarded as a story of the outstanding in Sijiu City in the future!" Don't worry, Master Scar, I'll do it, and I won't miss a bit! ”

Seeing the few broken heels and buttocks around him scattering and busily, Scar, who had just said that things were abnormal, paced away without hurrying at all, and walked along a side street alley to the front of a quiet courtyard.

Raising his eyes to look at the two mulberry paper lanterns hanging in front of the small courtyard door, and then smelling the aroma of dishes faintly wafting from the crack in the door, Scar Ye stretched out his hand to push open the hidden courtyard door, and walked towards the courtyard that was not too big.

If you want to talk about the scene in the courtyard, the left and right are just the appearance of the homely courtyard houses that you are used to seeing in Sijiu City, at most they are just a little neatly cleaned up, and the ordinary window paper has been replaced with glass windows.

But if you look closely, you can see some clues from the room that is much larger than ordinary people - more than a dozen people in ordinary people eat, but there is a big iron pot on the stove on the left, and a three-inch stove mouth is built next to the iron pot, and a white iron kettle is put on to boil water and drink tea.

But the room of this family is chiseled through half of the wall, and the eight stoves lined up are all delicate small woks, and there are two big eye stoves with cage drawers, hot and steaming to pack up the food.

In the courtyard outside the stove room, two old hanging stoves made of red mud and blue bricks were burning charcoal made of maple firewood, and a suckling pig and two geese with quail bellies were slowly served.

It is estimated that someone saw Scar Ye who pushed the door in, and greeted a forty-year-old mother from the small room next to the courtyard gate, leaned over and bowed to Scar, and then smiled at Scar Ye who was looking around at the situation in the yard with a low sip of cigarettes and wine: "This master, which friend are you visiting here?" ”

From the pocket of the cotton robe draped on his body, he took out a two-finger-wide reminder post, and Scar Ye raised his hand to shake the piece of paper in front of the old mother's eyes: "Eight small pots, is this the realm?" ”

Bowed to Scar Ye again, and the old mother lowered her eyebrows and responded: "Then you are Scar?" The guest in the house has been waiting for you for a long time, only saying that you will have a banquet when you come. It's cold, the food prepared is served early, I'm afraid of the cold, and I haven't eaten for a long time on the fire. (Beijing proverb, meaning to grasp, speed up)" (To be continued.
