9. Eat me and slay the dragon with a knife
After the girl said the words that were almost confessional, she did not force Li Shushi to give an answer, but she seemed to be a little unbearable and left with her face, and even Li Shushi had to admit that the red face was very cute.
As for the answer to the girl's question, Li Shushi can only say that it is good to let time slowly give the answer to the question.
Not long after taking a bath with well water, Su Xiaololi came back with a vote of people to "kill", everyone had a more or less smile on their faces, it seemed that they should be "great achievements" and "fruitful results", so I would like to congratulate them in advance.
"Ahh Don't worry, because I didn't have my husband by my side, even if I wanted to find the 'trouble' of those merchants, it became very boring, so I just took everyone around the city and bought something that suited everyone. But there are a lot of interesting things, so everyone has been picking them for a long time. By the way~ My husband also has a copy~Qiang Qiang Qiang~"
After speaking, Su Xiaololi took a cloth bag from the hand of the guard, and showed Li Shushi a costume with an alien style inside. Although I don't know what regional style it comes from, it looks very handsome, and it's no wonder that my own Lori is so excited.
And just as Su Xiaololi said, other people have also bought a lot of interesting things, although they are not very precious, but they are also very exotic small things, small toys, or delicacies from different races that are difficult to find in Jinyang City.
Well, only this Li Shushi or Su Xiaololi is absolutely insensitive, maybe for some people, it is a very unique flavor. But for Li Shushi, a foodie, and Su Xiaololi, a super chef, it's not attractive enough.
Before going to bed, there was another treatment for Tong Lao Man and Zi Long Chan, according to the reactions of the two people, the effect may be better than expected, it is still difficult to judge what Cheng Cheng can recover from Tong Lao Man, but at least it will not be as strong as the initial may cause systemic damage, and Zi Long Chan has already begun to re-train under the supervision of his master.
It is worth mentioning that I don't know if it was because of this injury that Old Man Tong began to study the knowledge of Taoism, Zilong Chan was forced by Old Man Tong to read the works related to Lao Tzu and Liezi in addition to continuing to study martial arts.
If you count some of the books that Zilong Sauce studied by himself. Li Shushi always felt that his learning momentum was a little ashamed compared to this one.
Before going to bed will be true. Su Daji was informed of Su Xiaololi's matter. Well, if it weren't for knowing that Su Xiaololi was a non-human with a big background, Li Shushi would have doubted whether these two had anything to do with each other, after all, they were both surnamed Su. Ahahahaha......
It was not surprising to Li Shushi. Su Xiaololi didn't seem to care about this matter at all. And she really seems to be quite sympathetic to the so-called demon girl of the country, but in fact she is just a girl who doesn't know whether to say it is an unlucky egg or a pitiful worm. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Li Shushi could feel that Su Xiaololi actually hoped that Li Shushi could take care of the girl.
It's worthy of the family thousands of years ago. The relationship is extraordinary - Li Shushi said that his thoughts can't help but be evil.
The next day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, the sky was cloudless, the sky was refreshing, it was really a good day to make people feel comfortable, Li Shushi seemed to see a naughty and lovely white cloud beckoning to him...... Hey, hey, director, it's not right here, I just said that it was cloudless, why did you send me a naughty white cloud at this time, could it be that there is still black soil waiting for me in the distance!
Ahem, please ignore the problems caused by the bad taste of the special effects artist, and you are not writing a legendary elementary school student essay.
However, Li Shushi, who has rested a lot, is not as tired today as he was yesterday, and the treatment can be arranged until the evening, and even except for the old man Tong, it doesn't matter if the rest of the people are herding sheep for a few days, if it weren't for Li Shushi's worries about leaving any sequelae, and secondly, he hopes that a few people can recover quickly, and he doesn't have to spend so much energy.
Yesterday, because of Li Shushi, Su Xiaololi couldn't enjoy the happiness she deserved, and she just made up for it today. No, a group of nearly 100 people, slaughtering the official market, it doesn't look like it's going to buy something, it's a bit like a gang member who is ready to get back to the field.
Of course, Li Shushi's children's shoes, who expressed their feelings, were slapped away by Su Xiaololi, and they really didn't die if they didn't die.
Walking into the area where the official market is located, it is as if there is a cave, although it is not yet the time for the two-meal system, but it is already full of people, except for the shops selling some high-end luxury goods, such as the shops selling grain, horses, handicrafts and other daily necessities, all of which have already opened their doors or are making preparations before the opening.
Looking at the shop work that was busy going out and going in, Li Shushi suddenly had a very cordial feeling, even though nearly ten years have passed, but every time he thinks of the time when he was doing shop work in Zhuo County, he is still full of happy memories.
Looking back at the old man Tong who was walking with them to see the excitement, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.
During this time period, some shops have begun to have customers entering, and even some of them have heard fierce quarrels, although they have not yet reached the level of adding fists and feet, but as Zhang Xiu introduced, there have already begun to be idlers ready to watch.
No, in a shop that sells horses, a sturdy man dressed as a shopkeeper and a Hu merchant dressed as a northern grassland ethnic group pulled each other out and walked out, and continued to mumble something while walking, but unfortunately the speed of speech between the two sides was too fast, and secondly, there were a lot of dialect slang mixed in the conversation between the two people, and as a result, Li Shushi could understand less than half of the ten sentences.
"What is the origin of this Hu Shang, it should be very difficult to bypass Pingcheng and come to this Mayi."
Li Shucheng really regretted it, why didn't Tong Yuan leave him behind when he drove Zhang Xiu, although Zhang Xiu had not been here for a long time, he was not at the level of the head snake at all. But it's better than their blind bunch.
Of course, it would be a good idea to find the absolute head snake of the Zhang family in Mayi, but I was worried that the other party would misunderstand something, so even the county order here was not alarmed, let alone seek help from the Zhang family in Mayi.
It's just that judging from the current situation, maybe he really needs to investigate the situation here, even if he knows that Guo Yi has been an official here for many years, there shouldn't be too many mistakes, but some things still have to be understood by himself to rest assured.
It's just that to Li Shushi's surprise, there was no question that he expected to be answered. There is still someone who can answer.
"That Hu Shang is a Karasuma man. I heard that there is a lot of business with the Zhang family in Mayi, but he is a frequent visitor here. Don't think he's a businessman, but if you think he's easy to deal with, you're very wrong. His men numbered in the hundreds. And I heard that there are also contacts with several Karasuma and Xianbei tribes. Even the Taishou Mansion of the Yin Pavilion and the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion of Jinyang can speak. β
"I can understand that this is too guarded, but the state pastor ...... Isn't that the Governor's Mansion? This Hu Shang is so capable?! β
This time, Li Shushi was really a little surprised, and at the same time looked at the person next to him who took the initiative to talk to him.
A middle-aged man who doesn't look very stunning. Of course, if you often run outside, it is difficult to judge the age accurately, especially this man is very mature, and his skin is dark and rough, which makes people think that he is an elderly person. If it weren't for his self-familiar appearance, Li Shushi would have directly and affirmatively pasted the title of "middle-aged" on his head, just like a red-haired monkey meeting a certain high school basketball team captain.
But I like to laugh very much, and every time I laugh, I can see a mouthful of white teeth, oh yes~ It's really flashing our kryptonite eyes.
"Haha, businessman, there is always some way. And goods are a stepping stone in themselves, aren't they? β
"No, no, no, I don't deny that wealth is indeed a good thing, but with the wealth of the state pastor, can you look down on this mere Hu Shang?"
"Haha, it seems that Brother Tai still doesn't know what kind of character this Hu Shang is. His caravan was capable of mobilizing a thousand horses to transport goods at a time, and his words could reach the Xianbei court, and even Shan Yu had to turn sideways to listen to him. β
Is there really such a powerful Hu businessman, and he is still fighting with a horse merchant in front of his eyes?
Very seriously, looking at the two people who had rolled together in front of him, because he was covered in dust and couldn't distinguish the specific appearance, Li Shushi finally shook his head. After that, he stared carefully at the self-cooked "middle-aged man" next to him for a long time, only to see the other party as red-faced, even the dark face could not stop the uneasiness and shyness, Li Shushi nodded.
"You say that the man there has the ability to accumulate so much wealth, then he will not fight with people in such a place, because he can leave this kind of thing to a reliable subordinate to do, and he himself can do something more valuable during this time. A person who is only attracted by the small profits in front of him and does not see the more important interests can become very rich, but he will never become the kind of wealthy businessman with extraordinary influence. If you are willing to give, sometimes you will have to give up. β
"But maybe he's just taking it for fun, as if we're here early in the morning to watch."
"Oh~ What you said is so reasonable, I was speechless, I was taught, I felt very ashamed, so I said goodbye, no longer do the time-wasting onlookers, maybe I can use the rest of the time to do something meaningful to life."
The "middle-aged man" didn't know how to deal with Li Shushi's almost tricks, and finally could only turn into a sigh, after all, although Li Shushi seemed to be messing around, he had already brought him enough information.
Or that he had understood what Li Shushi wanted to express, although he was a little surprised, but it was so natural.
His only mistake was to overestimate himself a little and underestimate others, not because he was too rash, but because something came too suddenly, he couldn't get enough information for a while, and judging a person with just a small amount of gossip naturally couldn't get an accurate answer, and he obviously didn't realize this at first.
"Haha, don't be busy walking yet. Seeing each other is fate, why don't you invite you to have a drink, even if it is handed over to a friend? β
This time, this big man who looks very bold shows a very serious feeling, and his tone is also very sincere, but ......
"I'm still saying that. He was a man who liked to make friends, but he was also a wealthy man. The Xianbei people will listen to a Hu merchant because they need that Hu merchant to bring them important resources so that they can become stronger. But if Hu Shang thinks that he can meet with the governor in the same way, I think he is clearly looking in the wrong direction.
He doesn't mind making friends with anyone, not even a peddler's pawn. As long as there is a topic that can be discussed between the two parties. And the governor didn't mind forcing others to be his friends. But if Hu Shang feels that he is more noble, smarter, and more powerful than the state pastor, and the state pastor feels that fighting spirit is a very boring thing. But I hate the wrong positioning.
Thank you for providing me with so much interesting information. Maybe we can have a drink later. It's just not now. β
"That's really a pity, in Xia Tu Su, I hope to have the opportunity to get drunk with Your Excellency in the future."
The other party doesn't seem to be pretentious. Seeing that Li Shushi was not interested in continuing to talk, he left very happily.
However, despite this, Li Shushi knows very well that the other party will not give up, and the other party should also know that Li Shushi knows that the other party will not give up (pulling the defense of the long soul possession), and from the other party's words, Li Shushi feels that the previous answer may also have inadvertently paid the water. It's just that this time the other party is a little anxious, and his side is not willing to talk more for the time being, but I believe that the next time we meet again, the two sides will definitely have some more constructive conversations, instead of ......
Eyes swept over the two lumps that were about to be divided into winners and losers, but they couldn't tell who was who, and suddenly felt that maybe they should play two hands when they were going to play, although at their own level, it is estimated that it will be very inadequate in this kind of place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, but the emphasis is on participation.
It's like the guy said before, if you don't feel like you're having fun, why would anyone be here early in the morning to watch?
The encounter with the middle-aged man who called himself "Tu Su" was just a small episode, although the other party seemed to be very hearty, but the mysterious appearance of the god still made people feel a little unhappy, especially when the other party claimed to be a character who could go straight to the Xianbei royal court, so Li Shushi couldn't help but be vigilant, but for the time being, it was only a little vigilant.
At least Li Shushi didn't seem to warn him of any danger around him, and a certain Lori was even more dismissive of him.
Obviously, the other party's appearance of "I have money, so the door of the state governor's mansion must be open to me" angered Su Xiaololi.
Although what the other party said is indeed true from a certain Cheng dΓΉ, especially for Li Shushi, a person from modern society, whether it is Chinese or foreign, the rich are all uncles, and the local leaders need to meet wherever they go, even if they are the president, president, prime minister and other figures, they must also have a cordial discussion with each other, because this is often related to a large project involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, which can not only bring a lot of taxes and political achievements to the local area, but also have a lot of fame and fortune for his personal.
Of course, this is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty after all, and it can barely be regarded as the Central Plains, although the business has a strong ability to move, but in front of the government, it is better not to be too arrogant, otherwise it is not a problem to destroy you in minutes~
Although Su Xiao Lori endured no action yesterday, it doesn't mean that this Lori just took everyone to carry out a simple "sweep", in fact, she also had a good collection of intelligence, so although she watched the "war" between the two businessmen just now, a certain Lori obviously didn't intend to waste her "precious" time.
"'Sunrise Trading Company'? In other words, what did this business do to be targeted by Yuzichan. β
"The specific situation is not very clear, yesterday just to choose the right goods for everyone has spent a lot of energy~ So just casually probe, it is said that this business is good, but the reputation does not seem to be very good, always thinking of the way to let the guests who enter the store take out all the copper on their bodies, basically everyone who goes in often comes out crying with a lot of things in the end, and while crying and shouting 'to cut off the hand, buy it again, cut the hand', but I heard that it went in again soon after."
"Uh, so amazing? I guess it's not a gamble, but that's just a legal business. β
"It's not the kind of place you said, but it seems to be a legal business, so it's more interesting, isn't it~"
Su Xiaololi is really reasonable, but why just looking at the name of this shop, Li Shushi has a desire to shout "If you buy it again, you will cut off your hands", although with his current strength, just the goods can't make him a poor egg.
Well, at least for the moment, that's exactly what he thinks in his heart, and scoffs at the uneasy premonition.
Then, he, Su Xiaololi and a large number of unclear truth "people" who came to watch stepped into this shoppΓΉ like a demon cave.
The first thing you can see when you walk into the store is the smell of gunpowder and the smell of war β the realistic and delicate models of various sizes seem to be placed randomly, but when you look closely, you can faintly see the situation on the battlefield.
All the dolls or models are not large, and they look like they are about one-twentieth of the real object at most, but you can see the intention of the store to make each item, and the painstaking efforts of the maker can be condensed, although it is silent, it seems that you can hear the cry from the battlefield.
Of course, what makes people feel even more amazing is the clever combination of these puppet models.
Originally, the individual to the group, no matter how prominent, will always be overwhelmed by the group. But this store seems to be completely unconstrained by this convention, no matter how large the group scene, you can feel that several of the model dolls are very special, as if standing in front of the dragons next to them, and usually, we would call them - the protagonist.
However, perhaps because of this, the labor cost alone of a single puppet model should be quite expensive, and if the unit is expanded into a group, it will reach a level that is enough to cause headaches.
After all, even the smallest group is usually a combination of more than ten puppet models, and even after deducting the effort spent by the store on the combination, the amount of money needed to restore the scene is enough to kill any person with obsessive-compulsive personality.
Of course, not to mention the restoration of larger scenes, and even if you have enough money, it is not too difficult to believe that even if you simulate a battle, although it is almost meaningless in practical terms.
But ah, isn't this the romance of men, fantasizing about one day being able to ride a noble horse (claw yellow means that he is completely qualified), carrying a divine weapon that can be passed down through the ages (the sword of the Heavenly Gate is shining), commanding the invincible fierce generals (Xiaoqiang, Zilongjiang and others silently look at someone with innocent eyes), and every decision is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people (the corpses of various races buried in the grasslands of the Western Regions, oh no, it should be the bones trying to tell a story to the travelers who passed by), In the end, the canopy disappeared between talking and laughing (this has invited our image spokespersons Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhuge Liangliang to appear), drunk and lying on the knee of the beauty (Su Xiaololi said that the knee pillow or something, please feel free), wake up to the power of the world (wake up, hey, wake up) ......
Looking at the goods displayed in the store, although he hadn't asked out loud, Li Shushi somewhat understood the mood of those stupid people who rushed away in tears, although they warned themselves every time to "buy another chopping hand", but then they were still obsessed with it.
Anyway, he used to be such a stupid person!!
Although financially speaking, he simply can't afford these good things......
Well, although I was not "ΓΓ poor for three generations, and ruined my life", why did my tears flow so deeply.
It's decided, robbery, robbery, if you don't let these profiteers vomit blood and die today, I'm really sorry for the vast number of comrades-in-arms who were cheated of money by them to death in waves!!
Although I don't understand why Li Shushi was suddenly full of battle intent before he even looked at it twice, and even a flame called "war intent" appeared all over his body, anyway, there was no conflict with today's goal, so Su Xiaololi finally ignored Li Shushi gorgeously.
It's a sad story. (To be continued......)
