Chapter 24 Purchasing Bedding
At this time, the entire martial arts hall was suddenly busy, and there were many empty houses in the martial arts hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but counting Su Shi and everyone else, they would never have thought that their Dongpo Martial Arts Hall could recruit so many disciples, and at this time, the bedding and other things used by the children to sleep were greatly lacking.
Wu Sanniang was busy assigning houses to a group of female disciples who had just arrived, which was also something that the Dongpo Martial Arts Hall had not had for a long time, and she could no longer live at will as she did before. All the male disciples from earlier were moved to one row, and the male and female disciples were re-divided. At this time, when Wen Qiang came to report that there were no bedding and other objects, she also patted her forehead.
"Oh, you see that we are all busy and dizzy, and we didn't even think of these locks, so you lead everyone to help here, and my wife will take Xiaocui and Xiaoyu to buy them. Wu Sanniang wiped her sweat and greeted Xiao Yu and Xiao Cui, who were busy preparing houses for the female disciples.
Seeing this, Wen Qiang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't! Master, you can't do without you here! Or I'll take my little junior brother to buy it, I'm familiar with the shop that sells clothes and bedding, and I can't do it to tidy up the houses for these girls, so I'll go." β
"Okay, you two be careful, hire a car and pull it back when you buy it, you are tired enough today, come back early, and have more business tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, you'll be back soon. Wen Qiang turned around and beckoned Qin Jian, who was busy not far away, and said, "Little junior brother, those who let you do it in advance, let's go buy some bedding and come back, there are too many people this time, not enough for them to share." β
"Okay, fat brother, let's go!" Qin Jian casually patted the dust on his hands and walked over quickly.
"Let's go!" Wen Qiang led Qin Jian towards the outside of the martial arts hall, and it was already bright lights outside. The shop that sells futon is dozens of streets away from the Dongpo Martial Arts Hall, which is not far away. The brothers tightened their steps and ran forward quickly. But they didn't know that at this time, there were already several shadows behind them like ghostsγγγγγγ
"Little junior brother, the front one is a store that sells bedding and clothes, most of the clothes, bedding and other items worn by our Dongpo Martial Arts Hall are provided by this one, and I used to accompany my wife to come here to customize clothes for the martial arts hall. The owners of this house are two elderly couples in their sixties. The popularity is excellent, and the business is more sincere. The shop has been passed down to the two elders for several generations, and the shop only deals in high-quality goods, and will never cheat adulteration, so that the reputation is excellent. It is the most resounding century-old trumpet on this old street. Wen Qiang pulled Qin Jian and introduced him to the origin of this shop.
Soon, the two came to the three street shops that showed the ancient flutter, and Qin Jian looked up to see that there was a flat forehead on the middle door with the book "Jin Sanyi". Three big golden characters, hanging a couplet on the left side of the door "in and out are new and old customers", and on the right side "up and down are all children without bullying". Although the couplets are not satisfactory, they are telling the truth. Seeing this, Qin Jian couldn't help but smile slightly. It seems that this shop attaches great importance to service and reputation. No wonder it has been in business for generations. It's just that the door is closed at the moment, and they are already closed.
"Fat brother, what should I do when they are all closed!"
"It's okay, usually the two of them sleep in the store, let's go up and knock on the door. Wen Qiang went up and knocked on the door a few times, only to hear the candlelight inside lit up, and after a while, an old voice came out, "Who!"
"Uncle, we are disciples of the Dongpo Martial Arts Pavilion, we came to buy futons from you!"
"Oh, wait! I'll open the door for you. After a while, an old man in his sixties opened the door.
"Why didn't I recognize you from the Dongpo Martial Arts Pavilion?" the old man squinted and pointed to the fat senior brothers Wen Qiang and Qin Jian in front of him.
Wen Qiang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hello uncle, this is my little junior brother, I am the chubby one before, have you always remembered it?" Dongpo Martial Arts Hall's "
"Hmm! The old man approached Wen Qiang with a lantern and took a closer look. "Oh! I remember, you're the fat guy from the Dongpo Martial Arts Gym. β
"Hehe, uncle, they all call me fat senior brother Wen Qiang, now you remember it!"
"Yes, yes, I remember! Hey, we haven't seen each other for more than two years, you seem to have changed so much, it's almost unrecognizable!"
"Haha! There are still many things that you can't think of? Oh, my uncle, my master and my mother let our brothers come to buy some bedding and go back, and after today, my master and mother will come over to buy a large number of clothes, and now our Dongpo Martial Arts Hall can make a big business for you!"
"Yes! You Dongpo Martial Arts Hall haven't done much in the past few years, you haven't done any big business, hehe! How many bedding do you want!"
"Well, let's send fifty pieces back for me to use urgently, and I'll talk about it tomorrow when my wife comes over!"
"So many! You are a new disciple, and you use so many bedding at once?" asked the old man in amazement.
"That's right, uncle! Our Dongpo Martial Arts Gym is very prosperous this time, and the most talented children in the city have all come to our Dongpo Martial Arts Gym, and you will have business to do in the future, hahaγγγγγγ Wen Qiang couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart even at this time.
"Oh! That's really congratulations to your master! You must know that your Dongpo Martial Arts Pavilion was also a well-known martial arts hall in Gute City at the beginning, and now it has finally recovered some of its former style. Hey, if it's late now, and you're in such a desperate need for something, I'd love to hear how you did it. The old man shook his head, and quickly turned back to beckon to his wife in the inner room.
After a while, the old man beckoned his wife to point to a warehouse and said, "The bedding is all in it, and the good ice silkworm quilt is soft and warm." Fortunately, we bought the goods the day before yesterday, otherwise it would have been really difficult for you to make up such a large amount at once. β
"Uncle, auntie, you two old people can rest, and I and my junior brother can move it. β
"It's okay, let you young people come, it's just that the bedding is loose, and it must be inconvenient for the two of you to carry it, do you have the name of the one used by your martial arts monksγγγγγγ Is there one?"
"Uncle, that's called a storage bag. β
"Yes! Yes, yes. It's amazing, it can hold a lot of things, do you have one?"
"But the space in my storage bag is too small, and I can't fit so many bedding!"
"Yes, fifty futons do take up a lot of space. It's a shame. How are you two going to get all that futon back?"
"Uncle, it's okay. We're going to hire a wagon to transport it back. Wen Qiang explained.
"Oh! I'm afraid there's no one to catch the car this night. The old man said and hurriedly pointed to his wife behind him and said, "That's it, wife, you go outside and try to look for it, I want to call a carriage, and when they move the bedding outside, try to transport it as soon as possible, it is getting late, I think it is their martial arts hall that needs it urgently." β
"Okay, old man, be careful with your lantern and keep an eye out for the candles. I'll go outside and take a look. β
When Wen Qiang and Qin Jian came out with the futon for the first time, a carriage was already parked outside.
"Hey, I said, old woman, why are you so sharp-footed, and you're just hiring the carriage in the blink of an eye!" said the old man, carrying a lantern, to his wife.
"No, I haven't even gone out yet, and this big brother is rushing in this direction! β
At this time, the eldest brother pulled the carriage over with his head down. Wen Qiang and Qin Jian were all holding two futons, and without thinking too much, they hurriedly put the things in their hands on the carriage. Turning around, he ran back to the storehouse and continued to move the pieces, and within half an hour, the whole fifty beds of bedding were carried to the carriage, and it looked like a hill. Fortunately, the bedding is extremely light, and no matter how much it is, it is not afraid that the carriage will not move. From the beginning to the end, the big brother who drove the car didn't say a word, didn't come forward to help, and didn't raise his head to talk to them.
When the last futon was put away, Wen Qiang suddenly thought about it and apologized: "Uncle, I'm really sorry, I forgot to ask my master and mother for some money just now, so I have to trouble you to go back with me to get the money." β
After hearing this, the old man shook his head and said, "It's okay to be an old neighborhood, you just have to transport it." Didn't you just say that? Won't your martial arts hall come to buy things tomorrow, and won't it be settled at that time? It also saves my old arms and legs from running back and forth, doesn't it?"
"Thank you so much, I'm really sorry to disturb the second elder so late. In this way, next time the second elder has something to contribute, even if he comes to our martial arts hall to find me, I will definitely help. β
"Hey, good boy, we're going to look for you if you have a lot of strength. Hahaha! Now go back quickly! Your master and mother must be in a hurry. Be careful not to let things fall off on the road. β
"Eh!" Wen Qiang agreed, just turning around. The big brother who was driving the car had already thrown a bundle of long ropes from afar, and Wen Qiang saw that he was just tying the futon, otherwise the futon would have to collapse halfway down the road. So he hurriedly called Qin Jian, and the two brothers tied the entire futon back and forth with a long rope. I patted it and saw that there was no loosening. Wen Qiang quickly pulled up Qin Jian, jumped into the carriage and sat directly on the top of the futon, and then shouted softly to the coachman: "Brother coachman, let's go! β
The coachman nodded, raised his whip and rattled, and immediately drove the carriage forward. Wen Qiang and Qin Jian were a little tired after being busy for a while, and at this time, they were lying on the soft futon, and they couldn't help but stretch their legs and stretch their waists.
The horse's hooves were roaring! Galloping forward, the lights looming around them. Wen Qiang stretched his waist and said loudly: "This big brother who drives a car, know the road of our Dongpo Martial Arts Hall!"
A slightly immature voice came. "Yes!"
Wen Qiang frowned, how could this big brother who was driving the car be so young, but he would never suspect anything at this time, he just yawned and ordered: "Call us when you get to the ground!"
"Good!" said the coachman, and there was a light whip, and the carriage ran even faster.
The two brothers lying in the carriage were stuck in the soft futon, and they couldn't see the outside scene at all. At this time, they did not know that with the sound of horses' hooves, the carriage shrouded in night had already run quickly out of the city.
"Senior brother, why hasn't it been so long, it can't be that he has gone the wrong way, right?" Although Qin Jian has been in the martial arts hall for more than two years, he is extremely confused about the roads in Gute City, but he just remembered that his senior brother has not been running for so long, and now this fast and running carriage has not yet reached the martial arts hall, not only is it strange. It's just that he hasn't experienced the sinister rivers and lakes since he was young, so he didn't expect anything wrong at this time, so after mentioning it casually, he stretched his legs and lay down next to Wen Qiang.
Although our Dongpo Martial Arts Hall has declined in recent years, it still has some fame in the city, as long as it is a car, it will not be recognized, I think this carriage is too wide, and it is impossible to walk short to those small alleys, and it is a little slow to go back and forth. If you're tired, rest assured, I'll see soon. β
Wen Qiang was trying to make Qin Jian lie down more comfortably, when he suddenly smelled the fragrance of plants, which immediately aroused a trace of alarm. After all, his age and experience were much better than Qin Jian's, and he quickly sat up. At this time, there was still the appearance of the city, surrounded by a wilderness, and the fragrance of plants and trees was sent with the wind, which made him suddenly sober up.
"Stop! stopγγγγγγ Wen Qiang called for a stop and hurriedly asked Qin Jian to get up.
With a loud neighing, the whole carriage came to a halt.
"Hahahaγγγγγγ Five black-clad night walkers poured out of all around at once. The man who drove the carriage also flashed in front of them, muttering in front of a man who seemed to be the leader.
Wen Qiang already understood at this time that they had encountered bandits. But he still hadn't figured out what the two of them could do to make them fight so much. At this time, he was also regarded as the highest disciple of the Dongpo Martial Arts Pavilion, and judging from the aura emitted by the few people just now, it was obviously not so powerful, and it was more than enough to protect himself, and after a shock, he quickly calmed down.
Quickly pulled up Qin Jian from the car and jumped to the ground, stepped forward and said, "Everyone, what is the relationship between our Dongpo Martial Arts Pavilion and you, so that you are so troubled. If you are really a man, report your name, no matter when and where you draw the line, we Dongpo Martial Arts Hall will be waiting for you. However, seeing that you are so sneaky, I don't think it's a good thing! Come on, you have the ability to use it against your grandfather. β
"Hmph! Don't be ashamed, you deserve it. Another childish sound sounded. At this time, even Wen Qiang suddenly realized that these people in black must not be real bandits, otherwise they would not all be so young. I thought about it in my heart: "Could it be that the disciples of that martial arts hall were unhappy when they saw that their Dongpo martial arts hall had stolen their limelight today, so they quietly concealed that the master came to teach them a lesson?"
