In addition, I bought all your things and stalls, as well as all the things at home, and you can make it at a price, little brother. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After listening to so many words, the stall owner's heart slowly settled down, but he didn't expect the contrast between before and after to be so big! The stall owner was afraid to die just now, and now he is surprised like a dream, he is now alone at home, there is no one in his house, some are just a pair of big falcons and a few small grasshopper eagles he caught when his father passed away, and recently the big falcon eagle also died of injury and illness, he has to rely on catching birds and catching birds every day to feed the eagle and raise the eagle to practice the eagle, and also rely on the stall to sell birds to feed himself, so he is actually living very tired and hard now, after all, the falcon and the falcon are the things that the hunter does, and he is not a hunter, although there are very few rich people to raise eagles to play, but there are too few people who can play and are willing to play eagles in these troubled times, and it takes a lot of money to raise eagles, and he is a good eagle like him, and he has to continue to raise them.
Now I heard that someone not only bought this eagle bird stall and all the things at home, but also hired himself for ten taels of silver to raise a good eagle in his family, and sent someone to command him, so his good days have really come, although this young master seems to be a little fierce, but people have silver.
In the end, under the repeated explanation and persuasion of Mengqi and Menggong, the small stall owner named Daqi even brought birds and eagles, and led people and families to let Mengqi fool away, and also got on the old boy's broken boat.
Mengqi returned to the shop, asked Menggong to return the old revolver, and asked him to arrange the matter of the big strange bird eagle to live, he went to find the head of the uncle, and then talked in detail about today's business house, and also gave the head of a pocket watch to say the usage, and also gave him the old revolver, the head of the uncle heard that he bought so many gray bricks, books and guns small wheels, out of one day to buy so many Xidong, he was very surprised, but when I thought about this is a good thing and a good thing, I also said some words of praise, let him continue to do well, Mengqi entrusted Uncle Tou to help him buy more grain, and asked if there were any foreign companies in Jilin? I thought: Uncle Tou rarely uses a gun, and it is estimated that he will not be able to use the old gun given him, and it is okay to spare himself.
Toubo said that there may be between Erdao Wharf and Niu Ma Xing, but he didn't know very well, so he asked Mengqi to find it by himself, and then heard him say that Lord Yang didn't understand Mengqi's illness, so he could only sigh, and said that he would slowly recuperate in the future, and Toubo said that he knew a small coal mine owner in Jiaohe Town, and if Mengqi bought a small steamer, he could notify the forest mine owner to come here and talk to Mengqi in detail. After dreaming of getting tired and returning to the room for a day, Xiao Yahuan finished serving and washing, took the book into the room and didn't read it, and after thinking about what she had done for a day, she fell asleep thinking about the mantra exercises.
On the fifth day, he raised a dragon and boxed, a new day began, and he asked him if he had anything to explain, and asked him if he had anything to explain, and the head said no, let him pay attention to safety, and asked him about the arrangement of the bird eagle, and went to Daqi's room with him, and saw that Daqi was feeding three dark blue-gray side-spotted eaglets, black pointed beaks, yellow feet, black claws, eaglets are more than 30 centimeters long, and there is a big eagle of more than half a meter in the house, Hai Dongqing, next to the two little white eagles, Daqi saw that the dream came up and stood up to look at him, Dream said it's okay just to see, asked him what kind of eagle the three eaglets are, he said it's a grasshopper eagle, catching birds is very fierce and fast, and after dreaming and asking him what he needs to get used to, he walked over and looked at the big eagle, it was also very clean and stable, no ferocity was very handsome, and asked how far it could fly, Daqi said that the eagle was in the sky, and it was called back in more than ten miles, and the dream sighed! He also asked how far the three little grasshopper eagles could fly, Daqi said that although the grasshopper eagle is small and fast, it can return when it is called within ten miles in the sky, and the grasshopper eagle is particularly easy to train and raise, this kind of grasshopper eagle is very common here, and it is also very good to trap in the mountains, and it is very useful to catch birds; I dreamed and thought: When I go back, let you catch more on behalf of others, and let you give me a good practice.
After Mengqi left, he took everyone to the foreign bank again, just arrived at the foreign bank Jiang Bo let him go inside, sat down and poured tea after the guy went out, Jiang Bo said to Mengqi, he invited the younger brother of the third aunt of Jilin General Xi Yuan to eat last night, Xi Yuan's brother-in-law is called Hu Che'er, is his brother-in-law's follow, every day has nothing to eat, drink, gamble, smoke, owe a butt of five drug debts, Jiang Bo began to talk with him while eating, only more than half of the meal was eaten, this kid is addicted to smoking, and he has to go to the tobacco house to talk about anything, Jiang Bo does not smoke a lot, so he has no choice but to accompany him.
Early this morning, as soon as the sky was bright, this kid came and said that he went to his brother-in-law to talk about it after smoking last night, and his brother-in-law was angry when he heard that it was a small steamer, and he thought that this thing could not be done, and his five poisonous debts were gone, but his brother-in-law was angry with the Jilin Bureau, because the small steamer occupied by the Jilin Bureau is now also his Xiyuan, and he has not received a little benefit after occupying it for so long, and he has lost a lot of money.
These three small steamers were built for Ming'an by his predecessor, the Jilin general Ming'an, who asked Li Hongzhang to help him personally, and asked the Tianjin Fachang Machinery Shipyard to send a master craftsman to build for Ming'an at the Jilin Shipyard under Ming'an's jurisdiction at that time. Although Ming'an found a reason for the imperial court to agree to the construction and allocated him silver before building these three small steamers, the 20,000 taels of silver allocated were only enough for the construction cost of the three small steamers, which could only be completed under the condition that many materials and craftsmen in the Jilin shipyard did not need to spend money. When Ming'an handed over to him, he also sold three small steamers for 20,000 taels of silver, and dug up his Xiyuan's 20,000 silver border salary, which was all his empty salary, so his brother-in-law was angry when he mentioned him.
In the evening, the brother-in-law mentioned the small steamer to him, and before his brother-in-law made it clear, he was angry, and when the anger disappeared and listened, he knew that it was a good thing, and now these two deactivated small steamers are rusty and have to be maintained, and they are useless at all, Ming'an built a small steamer to be sold for private use, but before Ming'an used the Jilin Machinery Bureau, Ming'an had to suspend the plan to sell smuggling, but he Ming'an was seized by the Jilin Bureau, and Ming'an was even more useless after being cut off, and Xiyuan took over after it was useless. He is reluctant to lose that, and he usually has a headache and upset when he thinks about it......
