Chapter 332: Gift-giving
"Really! He's not a showman anymore, he's become a saint in a place called a holy ruin, and I'm stupid when I hear it. Before the saint, you can say that you are a disciple of Confucius!"
"You're not going to lie to me, are you?" Zhang Laohan rushed out with an arrow to grab Xiao Shao's "Wen Bao".
Xiao Shao hesitated for a moment and handed the "Wen Bao" to Zhang Laohan.
Zhang Laohan opened the newspaper and was immediately shocked by the headline on the front page.
"Hundred blood bounty, Fang Yun is directly on the hunting list of scholars!", "Fang Yun raised people before becoming holy!" "Fang Yunwen pressed Qingguo!" ......
Zhang Laohan also often buys "Wen Bao", but it is the first time he has seen this situation on the front page.
Subsequently, Zhang Laohan carefully watched the process of Fang Yunwen's fight in Yizhou, and the more he watched, the happier he became, and finally couldn't help grinning.
"Good! Good! There is a kind! I used to see Fang Yun and said that he was the dragon among people, but I didn't expect it!"
Xiao Shao pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Zhang, when Master Fang came to Yuhai City, he was already a saint and a dragon among people, so you don't need to say it." ”
"Hehe, that's what I said, it's also ...... Alas, you kid really doesn't have a bright head, why don't you buy a few more copies of Wenbao? I want to look at the fruit stand, and I can't buy it if I want to, so I can only buy it at night!" Zhang Laohan complained.
"I really wanted to buy a few more copies, but as soon as I bought one, I was pushed away, and the people behind me didn't give me a chance to buy a second one. You don't see the people who sell "Wen Bao", they are all busy. ”
"This is also true, there are more people who buy "Wenbao" than "Holy Dao". I have always read "Wenbao", "Holy Dao" not very much, and occasionally look at the poems in it. However, as long as there are poems by Master Fang on it, I will definitely buy them. ”
"There must be Master Fang's poems next month. ”
"Of course! Thousands of miles of Gong Chanjuan, the word has spread all over the world, and it will definitely be on the "Holy Dao"! You are busy, I will find a way to get someone to help me bring a copy of the "Wenbao" back. Zhang Laohan said.
"Then I'm leaving. Xiao Shao Xing rushed away.
Zhang Laohan looked at the fruit stall and frowned. Then I looked up in the direction of the temple, and then looked at the fruit stand, and looked back and forth several times, and finally felt that it was important to make money.
"It's never too late to buy it in the evening, and it's not that you can't buy it. After Zhang Laohan finished speaking, he continued to look at the fruit stall.
However, as long as he meets an acquaintance who goes to the direction of the Literary Academy, he will definitely ask others if they want to buy the "Wenbao", and if they do, they will bring a copy for him. It wasn't until he asked the seventh person that Zhang Laohan got his wish. Generously hand the other person two oranges.
Zhang Laohan lost the mind to sell things, and no longer shouted and accosted people as he did before, but kept looking at the direction of the Academy, hoping to see the process of Fang Yunwendou again.
After a quarter of an hour, Zhang Laohan sighed lightly, and saw hundreds of people walking in the direction of the Academy, most of them carrying some things in their hands, including vegetables and cloth. There are chickens and ducks, fruits, and the four treasures of the study, everything.
Those people were of all shapes. There are old people, there are children, there are women, there are scholars. Some people are dressed in brocade, some people are dressed in coarse cloth, and there are all kinds of things. It's as if people from the same street go out shopping together and come back together.
Zhang Laohan was puzzled, and muttered in his heart, these people don't seem to go shopping together, but like they go to relatives together, but it's too strange for hundreds of people to go to relatives together.
Seeing those people coming together, Zhang Laohan was still a little vigilant, but he quickly relaxed, because most of these people were beaming, but some of them had red eyes, as if they had just cried, and they didn't look like they were going to cause trouble.
When those people walked to the fruit stall, Zhang Laohan opened his mouth, closed it again, opened his mouth again, repeated it several times, and a heart that worked hard to make money finally took the upper hand, and said softly: "Sell fruits! Big and sweet pears, big and sweet apples, big and sweet apples, big and sweet ...... Wrong shouting. ”
Zhang Laohan found that several people were looking at him, his old face turned red, and then he said cheekily: "Sell fruits! Fresh and delicious fruits, essential things for visiting relatives and friends! It's not good to carry vegetables...... Zhang Laohan looked at the women carrying vegetables with some humility.
Several of them, who had nothing with them, immediately came over.
"A pound of oranges. ”
"Two pounds of pears!"
Zhang Laohan was happy in his heart, thinking that he had met a fool, these people were not dressed very well, they didn't even ask the price, they just said the weight, they were obviously fat sheep, and their favorite on weekdays was this kind of person who couldn't buy things.
"Everyone line up and wait a while, come one by one, there are many things, weigh slowly, the weight is enough!" Zhang Laohan immediately began to weigh oranges for the first customer, the scale pole was raised high, Zhang Laohan had his own insistence, although the fruit was sold as a gift at a high price, but the weight was full, only someone said that he was expensive, no one said that he was short and two pounds.
After weighing a pound of oranges, Zhang Laohan put the oranges into a gorgeous paper bag, handed it to the man, and said, "Thank you for your patronage, ten cents." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything, silently took out some copper coins from his pocket, counted out ten cents and handed them out.
Zhang Laohan looked at the copper coin, frowned slightly, the damage was relatively heavy, this person's hands were also a little dirty, and there were many scars on them, but he didn't say anything, smiled and said thank you, and then continued to weigh the second person pear.
The second person received the same amount of money, twice the market price.
Then, Zhang Laohan weighed two catties of apples, packed them and handed them to the third customer, and said casually: "Take it, Chenghui 12 yuan." Where are you going?"
The middle-aged man in coarse cloth clothes smiled innocently and said: "I heard this morning that Fang Zhenguo Wendou Yizhou, Wenzhu Qingguo, I am very happy, he finally helped us Jingguo fight for a breath, it was so happy! I thought I should do something, and I happened to hear a few Xiucai say that they knew where Fang Zhenguo lived and were going to give a thank you gift, so I came with me." The family is poor, there is nothing, and I don't know what to buy on the road, but now it's almost there, I can't go to see Fang Zhenguo empty-handed, so I bought it from you. That's 12 cents. ”
Zhang Laohan was stunned, his hand hung in the air, watching the twelve coins fall into his hand, somehow, he felt that the twelve coins were heavier than a mountain, and he was a little out of breath.
Zhang Laohan looked at this middle-aged man again, there were several puddings on his clothes, his cloth shoes were worn, and there was some mud on them, this person's skin was very rough, and the wrinkles on his forehead and his sideburns were all showing that this was a middle-aged man with a heavy burden of life.
Zhang Laohan's heart was sour, and he couldn't wait to slap himself, thinking that the people who came here to buy his fruits as gifts were at least relatively wealthy people, and there were never poor people who came to buy them, but these people didn't even ask the price to buy things, which was obviously unusual, and he only thought about making money and ignored it.
"Thank you. The middle-aged man turned and left.
"Wait!" Zhang Laohan kept the three cents in his hand and forcibly stuffed the nine cents to the middle-aged man, "My stall has a rule, to send fruits to Master Fang Yun's family, all at the cost price! I don't make a penny at all! I didn't know you were buying it for Master Fang before, I'm sorry! Don't shirk, this is a rule, I can't break the rules when I do business! Buy oranges, buy pears, you two and so on." ”
Zhang Laohan grabbed a handful of dirty copper coins and ran towards the two people, insisting on stuffing more money into the two people, which was equivalent to charging only the cost price.
Sending the money out, Zhang Laohan ran back briskly, smiling all the way, as if he had pushed away the mountain that was pressing on his heart.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything, just stretched out his thumb with sincere gratitude and respect in his eyes.
Zhang Laohan felt more and more comfortable in his heart, and simply opened his throat and shouted: "Sell fruits! Anyone who gives gifts to Master Fang Yun will sell them at cost price! Whoever earns such unconscionable money will be struck by thunder from the sky!"
"Good old man!" shouted a teenager.
"Look, this is our Jingguo people, the backbone is straight, and the bones are hard!"
"There are still many good people in the world!"
"I'll have two pounds of oranges, too. ”
Zhang Laohan couldn't help but straighten his waist and looked younger and younger.
These hundreds of people are just the beginning, and there are people who come one after another, either carrying things or empty-handed, many people are inquiring all the way over, and some people don't know how far they have gone around and how many people have asked to get here.
Many people came to Zhang Laohan to sell things, and Zhang Laohan sold very happily, this was the first time in his life that he sold very happily without making money.
The fruit on the stalls dwindled at a breakneck rate, and soon there were a dozen apples left, but there were many people in line.
"There are not many things, one person can buy up to four, no, four auspicious, three at most. Zhang Laohan said as he called apples.
Seeing that there were still the last five apples left, Zhang Laohan was about to weigh them together, but he was suddenly stunned for a moment, put down the scale, smiled apologetically at the last young man, and said, "I'm sorry, this apple is not for sale." ”
"Ah, what's the matter? I'll give the money, I'll give twice as much!" the young man was anxious.
Zhang Laohan smiled, grabbed the paper bag in his hand, and said, "I haven't given a gift to Master Fang yet, this is my share." ”
The young man looked relieved, nodded, and began to look around for a place to sell.
Zhang Laohan wrapped five apples, packed up the wheelbarrow, and pushed it in the direction of Fang Yun's house.
When he got closer, Zhang Laohan saw Fang Daniu and the porter at the door constantly apologizing to everyone, and at the same time lowered his voice to speak.
"I'm sorry everyone, our master just came back from Kongcheng, he is sleeping, he can't see guests, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"
"Sir, he's so tired, we can't bear to call him. I'm sorry guys!"
An old man also suppressed his voice and said: "You don't have to be polite, we don't have to see him, people are coming, the ceremony is coming, just let him know about our heart." No matter what the traitors in the court do to him, we Jingguo people are of the same heart as Fang Yun!"
An old woman carried a small burden and said, "I think so too, this is my steamed steamed bun, I don't want him to eat it, I just want to send it to him, let him see, we people in Yuhai City are thinking about him in our hearts!"
"When Qingguo led the Jiang demon to harm people, my father was killed, this is the basket I made up myself, and sent it to Fang Zhenguo, thank him for avenging me! I don't bother him. The young man in his early twenties put down the basket and turned to leave.
Zhang Laohan sighed lightly, showed a comfortable smile, then lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes. (To be continued......)
