Chapter 17: China Is Great (2)

"Let me tell you, although I, Bai Wen, am not a saint who does not eat what he comes, I will never take refuge in that living Cao Cao!"

Fugui listened to Bai Wen's words, gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed: "Fourth Master Wen is worthy of being a good man among our people. But the team I am talking about is not referring to the Beiyang Army, but another one. ”

"Oh," Bai Wen frowned and thought for a moment, and said hesitantly, "You didn't mean the Black Dragon Society, did you?" ”

"Zhao, I'm talking about the famous Black Dragon Society!"

"You kid" Bai Wen glanced at Fugui up and down a few times, "When did you get involved with the Black Dragon Society again?" Well, have you accepted other people's benefits? ”

"The second leader of the Black Dragon Society invited me to eat a big banquet, which is in the Taibai Building in the west of the city!" Fugui said proudly, and then took out a shiny iron lump tied to a chain from his arms, "See, this is the pocket watch that the second master gave me." ”

"Hmph, you have no friendship with others, and you have no business dealings, why do people invite you to eat noodles and give you such expensive things. Think about it, what would you do that didn't do good? "Fourth master, what you said! Why can't I eat big noodles? Let me tell you, although the second leader of the Black Dragon Society is young, he is really doing this," Fugui gave a thumbs up, "At that time, people didn't say anything, and now they invited me to eat the banquet noodles, and then went to take a bath, and then told me that there are some good men in the flag people, and asked me if I can introduce some good men in the flag people to him." ”

"Hey, since you know such a big person, why do you still come to our teahouse to eat rotten meat noodles!" Shopkeeper Liang came out with noodles and said to Fugui: "And you ate that big table, and I didn't see any difference in you!" ”

"Hey, shopkeeper, do you see this?" Fugui took out the pocket watch again and said: "This is called a pocket watch, we used to call it a foreign watch, this is what someone gave me!" ”

"Tut, I didn't expect you to have good luck in your old age, and in the future, you will have to take care of our old neighbors."

"Aren't I just here to introduce the fourth master to a good place?" Fugui said: "Now it's getting more and more difficult to mix in the capital, if it takes a few days, maybe the foreign devils will come to the capital." Fourth master, even if you don't think about yourself, think about the two little ones in your family. ”

"How so? If I go to the Black Dragon Society, will they still be able to take care of my family? ”

"What you said, people said, as long as you are selected, the first is the settlement fee of ten oceans. Then two oceans per month, issued on time, without deducting food expenses! Four sets of clothes are also distributed every six months! Where can you find such a good thing? ”

"That's a good condition, but who knows if it's a lie?"

"How can it? The Black Dragon Society is the guarantor of the Duanjun Wang's family. Besides, you don't know about the deals that people are doing in the west of the city, so can such a big scene still deceive you? ”

"That's a good place to go, so you say, but why don't you go?"

"Fourth master, the conditions of the people are good. But people are also very demanding," Fugui said: "First of all, the first rule is not to smoke a lot." ”

"Well, I think that's good."

"Second, you must be good at martial arts and willing to endure hardships." Fugui said: "Fourth master, you don't know, although my third Gui doesn't smoke a lot, but this martial arts is probably returned to me for my dead Lao Tzu." ”

"Hey, your third master was still able to fight back then."

"You said it was back then, but now it's not going to work!" Fugui continued: "Third, people must be literate. People also said that what people want is something that can really fight, and if there is anything wrong in the real battle array, they will take care of everything at home. Like your family, the two younger ones are raised until they are 16 years old, and they usually let them go to school. ”

"That's a good feeling, Zhong, that's it, after drinking this cup of tea, I'll go over there and have a look." Bai Wen put down the teacup and said to Fugui: "If it really happens, I will also invite you to eat noodles." Of course, you can't afford to pay for the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but there are still big fish and meat. ”

"Gotcha!" Fugui slapped the table, "Then wait for the table you want to eat!" ”

After speaking, Fugui inserted the chopsticks into the rotten meat noodles in front of him and shouted: "Shopkeeper, I said to put more meat, not only is your meat not much, but it is less than before!" ”

Shopkeeper Liang turned out again, wiped the guard on a rag, and said with a smile: "You don't know, third master, the price of vegetables in the capital is sesame blossoming - it is rising!" As far as the meat in your bowl is concerned, I still added it to you for the sake of old friends. You, don't say that I cheat you, any restaurant you go to, it's not as affordable as me. ”

"This" Fugui glanced at the little meat in the bowl, scolded, and said again: "What has become of it?" I think this Great Qing Kingdom is really going to end! ”

"Alas, don't, your third master, you're not afraid. My teahouse is a small business, and if I get caught, I'll have to hemorrhage to get it done. ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Liang said to Bai Wen again: "Fourth Master Wen, you don't like to listen to what I say, this matter of joining the army, it is good to be obedient, but what about us little people, we just want to be stable." It's not that easy to earn. And you have two more at home, don't you say? ”

"Shopkeeper Liang, you're right," Bai Wen nodded, "You also mean well, how can I blame you." But you also know that things in the capital are getting more and more expensive, and you can't support a family just by pulling a big car. I'm going to take a look first, and then I'll talk about whether it works out or not. ”

"Shopkeeper Liang," Fugui interjected, "I'm still here, so if you want to say this, you have to wait until I'm not here." And I'm Fugui, but that's the kind of deceit? I haven't lost your face money. ”

"Hey, Third Master, I'm really sorry for you. But according to me, can't everyone just live a good life? Why do you want to call and call? ”

"You should go and tell the foreign devil this, now it's not us who go to the foreigner's house to fight. Now that someone is knocking on the door, we can't live a stable life. ”

"That's the reason." Bai Wen took it up and said, "Okay, I'm done." Fugui, you eat slowly, I'll go to the place you said first. ”
