Hong Guangdao: "Zhang Shihu, buy me some cigarettes to ......"

Zhang Shihu didn't move, but replied, "Young Master, someone will send it soon." ”

Hong Guang immediately knew that they had communication equipment that he didn't know, and lying on the sofa, he sighed and said to himself: "It's going to be a difficult day, alas, why am I so unlucky!" ”

A servant came in with a basket of cigarettes, placed them on the coffee table and left.

Tobacco has long been popular in the Qing Dynasty, all of which are hookahs and dry tobacco, and machine-made cigarettes are new things that have only emerged in the last ten years, and the packaging is so simple that Hong Guang can't speak, tear open the cigarette box, shoddy tobacco, and even the most basic filter.

Hong Guang muttered: "Horse team card? Jianpai? Pinhai, it turned out to be ten sticks, Nima, this smoke...... Forget it, make do. ”

Immediately, he asked curiously, "How much did it cost?" "In the past, he never asked about the price, but now he is restricted from consumption, only a hundred oceans a day, forcing him not to be careful.

Zhang Shihu said: "It won't be more than two oceans, maybe one ocean." ”

Hong Guang was surprised: "Hey, so cheap? Saying that, he took out a cigarette, lit it with a foreign fire, and only took a puff of cigarette, he was choked and coughed, this smoke was spicy throat, and then, he found that his mouth was full of smoke residue foam, bah, and for a long time, he cried and mourned, pressed the cigarette on the coffee table casually, and lay down on the sofa suddenly, not wanting to say a word, tired!

At this time, Zhang Hao walked in and asked, "Are you still used to it?" ”

Hong Guangyi got up with a grunt, and smiled spinelessly: "Brother, bring the cigarette to light, don't tell you that there is no ......"

Zhang Hao also smokes, but he smokes very little now: "No! He threw him a pack of cigarettes.

Hong Guang took it and said with a smile: "I'll just say how could you not have it, hey, the smoke of the white shell?" ”

Zhang Hao said: "Of course it's a white shell, otherwise I'll give you a box of Great China cigarettes?" ”

Tear open the cigarette case, take out a cigarette, and take a closer look, this is a cigarette without a trademark, with a white filter, and two gold lines on it, there is no trace of a trademark, but this is a modern cigarette.

Lit and took a deep breath, only then did he know the familiar smell of smoke, soft and not spicy throat, and a cigarette slowly exhaled: "Brother, you will give the cigarettes in the future, and there is nothing to sell outside." ”

Zhang Hao said: "Actually, it's better to quit." ”

"I can't quit, I can't kill my ...... anyway"

Zhang Hao said: "Come with me, invite a few friends to dinner, you also go, in the small restaurant downstairs." ”

Hong Guang suddenly became excited and said, "This is the ancients?" ”

Zhang Hao suddenly hesitated a little and said: "Don't talk when you go, or talk less, if you talk nonsense, I will let Zhang Shihu take you away, don't say that I didn't remind you, and besides, they are not ancients, they are modern people." ”

Hong Guang swiped his hand from one side of his mouth to the other, signaling the zipper to close, and would not talk nonsense.

Zhang Hao looked at his watch and said, "It's time, let's go downstairs." ”

Hong Guang suddenly found that he also needed a watch, he had never worn a watch before, and now he found that it was really inconvenient to not have a watch.

Zhang Hao said: "Zhang Shihu, let someone send a pocket watch." ”

As soon as he walked to the staircase, someone sent a box to Zhang Hao.

This is a gold pocket watch, which Zhang Hao used to impact the market, it was very beautifully made, and it was the best pocket watch of this era, and it was handed to Hong Guang.

Hong Guang had never seen a pocket watch in his life, fiddled with it for a while, and said strangely: "How can you wear such a big watch on your hands?" By the way, what is the use of this big gold chain? ”

Zhang Hao took the pocket watch, buckled the gold chain on his chest, then put the gold pocket watch into the pocket on his chest, and said, "This big gold chain is used to pretend to be forced to show that you are rich." ”

By the way, give him a top hat, this gold chain with a melon skin hat is a bit stupid.

Someone brought a black top hat and put it on Hong Guang, and suddenly this guy's temperament changed, from a landlord and an old fortune to a businessman comprador.

"Can you understand Shanghainese in this era?"

"Yes, yes!"

"That's good, you can speak official dialect, you can speak Shanghainese, whatever you want."

The two chatted all the way to the second floor, and many staff members would salute Zhang Hao and call Zhang Dong along the way.

Zhang Hao also smiled, because of his ability to never forget, he can call the people here by name, and he also knows their background identity.

The restaurant on the second floor is not open to the public, it is specially used by Zhang Hao to entertain guests, and at the same time, he usually eats, and it is also the service of the people in this restaurant, whether it is sent upstairs or he comes downstairs to eat.

This is a large space, with two styles of Western and Chinese decoration style of the restaurant, today is a restaurant with Chinese decoration, the ground is paved with gold bricks, the so-called gold bricks are specially fired cyan bricks, eight immortals tabletop, embedded with marble countertops, with natural marble patterns, very exquisite.

The large and exquisite carved wooden windows, with eight screens in the partition, are still made of marble frames, which are a complete set of mahogany furniture, made with fine craftsmanship, and are also good objects in this era.

On the wall hang four banners of Ren Yi, boneless small freehand flowers and birds, Ren Yi is a local painter, very famous in Shanghai, is one of the four masters of the Shanghai School. Of course, the so-called four families are within the scope of the south of Shanghai, and the Chinese people like to make up four people to express it, such as the four families of the Qing Dynasty and the four families of the Song Dynasty.

Hong Guang followed in, this guy doesn't have a single elegant bone, he never cares about art or anything, and his evaluation of the entire Chinese restaurant is just one word.

Earth!

Two words, old-fashioned!

was so angry that Zhang Hao slapped him and scraped it on the back of his head, this guy still looked aggrieved: "Brother, why did you beat me?" ”

"Sit on the sidelines, don't speak, no one says you're dumb!"

"Oh."

Obediently sat on the side, although he didn't know why Zhang Hao was angry, but this guy knew one thing very well, in this world, it was best to be obedient, otherwise it must be himself who suffers.

sat aggrievedly on the side, took out a cigarette, and smoked depressedly.

Soon, the invited guests came in one after another, the first to arrive was Lei Zhengtong's shopkeeper in Rishengchang, followed by Zhou Renfeng and Lin Zhicheng, and finally Xu Run from the same clerk's office.

Greeting each other, there are many etiquettes in this era, Hong Guang saw that his scalp was numb, and he didn't understand what they were bowing and beating a thousand politely, and when he introduced Hong Guang, he directly stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands, which made everyone at a loss.

Zhang Hao explained: "Brother Hongguang came back from abroad, so he doesn't know much about domestic etiquette. "It's a cover-up.

The four of them were the first to come here, Xu Run saw Ren Yi's painting on the wall at a glance, and said with a smile: "Zhang Dong also likes Ren Bonian's painting." ”

Zhang Hao smiled: "Ren Bonian and Wu Changshuo, I like it very much." ”

Zhou Renfeng said: "There seem to be a lot of Ren Yi's paintings at home, if Brother Zhang likes it, I can bring it." "This loser wants to bargain from Zhang Hao again.
