Chapter 97: Night Market (1)
It took about three hours to clean up the playground. Zhang Qiru occupied a place in the playground with more than a dozen vehicles, and Brother Leopard also occupied a place with the evacuated Leopard Army. After discussing with the two, they directly demolished the school wall and made a simple fence with the iron fence that was removed.
By the time everything was cleaned up, it was already dark. Shang Ze is now full-time to investigate all kinds of news and collect a lot of important information. When Zhang Qiru heard that the chaos in the Eighth District was not only chaotic, but also filled with a large number of black markets, brothels, and casinos, he immediately decided to go around the Eighth District at night.
"The surname is Zhang! Are you going to go to a brothel? When Li Xiaorou saw Zhang Qiru going out in a formal suit, she was immediately reluctant, pinching her waist and shouting.
"That's it, and you, Comrade Zhao! Brother wants to go into the water, not only do you not pull a hand, but you also push the boat down the river and follow Hu! What kind of brother are you? Yang Xiaoqi also learned from Li Xiaorou to pinch her waist.
"Uh-uh...... The two of us are just going out to spy on the military! Zhang Qiru said.
"Oh? Spying on military intelligence? Do you need to wear it so handsomely? "Although Li Xiaorou is usually very docile, she can live alone for so long in the last days, and she knows that she is not ordinary when she thinks about it with her ass.
"My appearance has nothing to do with the handsome word?" Zhang Qiru said.
"That is, if you say I'm handsome, that's the truth!" Zhao Yun said shamelessly.
"Hey, you said you were fat and you were still panting! I'm going to follow! Yang Xiaoqi immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yun's arm.
"I'll go too!" Li Xiaorou also stepped forward to grab Zhang Qiru's arm, without the slightest shyness before.
Zhang Qiru and Zhao Yun had black lines on their faces.
Ten minutes later.
"Sister Rou, this is not bad!"
"Xiao Qi, look at this, how shiny! Is it true? ”
"Sister Rou, that's fake! I'll teach you how to tell the real from the fake! ”
"Xiao Qi, do you still understand this?"
"That's a must! I'm a little expert at fighting fakes! ”
Yang Xiaoqi and Li Xiaorou were in the market for a while, looking at this for a while, and looking at that for a while, chattering endlessly-Zhang Qiru and Zhao Yun followed behind the two of them with a loveless look.
"Lao Zhao, do you regret coming out?" Zhang Qiru couldn't lift his eyelids and said.
"If God gives me another chance, I will ......"
Before Zhao Yun finished speaking, Yang Xiaoqi immediately ran over and pulled Zhao Yun's arm forward, and said as he walked: "Brother Yun, where are the cosmetics, alas, international first-line brands!" It used to be expensive! It's true! Did we buy it? ”
"Let's eat more evolved animals, and the skin will be fine!" Zhao Yun said.
"Brother Yun, are you okay?" Yang Xiaoqi kept rubbing Zhao Yun's arm on his chest, and his coquettish appearance was very cute.
"Bought it!" Zhao Yun couldn't resist at all, it was the same as being beaten with chicken blood.
"Ahem, am I going to do that?" Li Xiaorou looked at Zhang Qiru with a smile.
"Ahem, if you want, I'm fine!" Zhang Qiru seemed to be embarrassed and said.
"Die! Don't go over and buy it yet! Li Xiaorou screwed Zhang Qiru hard.
"Damn, my treatment ......"
Zhang Qiru and Zhao Yun had no choice but to come to the booth obediently.
"Dude, how do you sell this makeup?" Zhang Qiru picked up the only three sets of cosmetics and asked.
"Fifty catties of rice, no two prices!" The seller clearly saw that the two goddesses liked it very much, so they sat on the ground and raised the price.
"Hey, shopkeeper, why are you invisible?" Zhang Qiru said suddenly.
"Huh? Am I invisible? I can still see myself! "The owner is still a little baffled.
"Oh, as soon as you spoke, I saw your two rows of big white fangs! Otherwise, you're so dark, completely hidden in the night! Zhang Qiru answered.
The two goddesses immediately laughed and leaned back, and Zhang Qiru scolded people without dirty words.
"Big brother is really interesting! But I'm really rare! Most of the cosmetics were taken away by the aristocratic district for the use of those dignitaries, and these may be the only ones left in my hands. The shopkeeper said.
"Look, you are a thing that officials and nobles like to want, like ordinary people, who would care about this!" Zhang Qiru said.
"Don't these two goddesses like it?" The shopkeeper pointed to Yang Xiaoqi and Li Xiaorou and said.
"If the goddess likes it, she has to be rich!" Zhang Qiru said.
"Hey! Big brother, I've been in business for more than ten years, and I don't dare to say that I'm proficient, but I still have eyesight! These two goddesses are white and beautiful, brightly dressed, their hair is clean and tidy, and their bodies are still fragrant, and they must be clean every day. Now I can take a bath every day, I guess it's the guys in the aristocratic district! Looking at the two of them again, they are also full of red light, their voices are powerful, and they are walking with a tiger, presumably they are also practicing their families. The four of you are obviously living very comfortably, unlike those of us who beg for a living, and if you don't have any money, then aren't we beggars? "The shopkeeper really has an eye.
"Awesome! Admire! Zhang Qiru smiled, "Then do you know who we are?" ”
"Generally, if you want to buy things in the aristocratic district, you must ask your subordinates to buy them, and if you come in person, you will definitely bring a group of soldiers, after all, these eight districts are not a good place. And the two goddesses came out and only brought their husbands, which means that the goddess is not afraid of being robbed. The guys in the aristocratic district don't have the guts! is not from the aristocratic district, and he is still so generous, the key is to have courage, then he can only be someone who came to Los Angeles today! Those who dare to argue with Old Man Pan will certainly not be afraid of a small Eighth District! The shopkeeper immediately guessed Zhang Qiru's identity.
"You're amazing!" Zhang Qiru really admired this guy a little, "What else do you know?" ”
"I also know that you should be the hunter Zhang from Celestial City, a famous person!" The shopkeeper said.
"Yo, do you know this? However, I'm Little Hunter Zhang, and Hunter Zhang is my brother! Zhang Qiru said with a smile.
"It's all about the same, it's so close to Governor Zhu, just ask a few people from Tiancheng to know." The shopkeeper smiled.
"Okay, I'll ask you something, and if your answer satisfies me, I'll give you eighty catties of rice!" Zhang Qiru felt that this shopkeeper was not ordinary and should know a lot of things.
"Deal!"
"Do you know how many soldiers Pan Min has?"
"Fifty thousand! Of these, 15,000 regular soldiers, including active duty soldiers, police officers, and retired military police. The remaining 30,000 or so are militiamen, as well as newly recruited soldiers. ”
"What about Governor Zhu?"
"You didn't ask him this? Well, Governor Zhu is also about 50,000 people, but he has more regular troops in his hands, 20,000. Originally, Governor Zhu only brought about 10,000 soldiers, all of whom were regular troops. However, Governor Zhu's appeal is stronger, and most of the retired military and police have chosen to stand on Governor Zhu's side, probably because Old Man Pan is relatively strong and somewhat nepotistic. ”
"The Governor isn't bad! Is there any difference between the weapons on both sides? ”
"No, it's basically the same. All the heavy weapons were confiscated from the central base, and there were very few scattered around. ”
"Are there any private forces in the resettlement camp that are more powerful?"
"Yes, there are too many large and small forces to count."
"Can you compare with us?"
"Some may be okay, some seem stronger."
"Say!"
"The Hunters, the Tiger Army, the Dragon Gate Dart Bureau, the Tank Troops, etc., a lot."
"Does it all have anything to do with the government?"
"Yes, moreover, it's all from Old Man Pan's team! This is also the reason why Governor Zhu did not tear his face with Old Man Pan. ”
"Is there any in District 8?"
"Absolutely! The hands and feet of each force extend to almost all regions, and they have business in these regions, both large and small. District 8 is the most competitive, you know, only illegal businesses make money the fastest! The eight districts are almost unattended, so the eight districts have become the focus of competition among these forces. ”
"What's the illegal business?"
"Casinos, brothels, black markets, these three are the main ones, and there are some restaurants, dance halls, bars and whatever."
"Damn, it's all the end of the world, and these are the more?"
"The more eschatological it is, the more people need to be released, otherwise it is easy for things to happen. The government also turned a blind eye. ”
"Are there any guns that are bought or sold?"
"Yes, but this government does not allow the sale of thermal weapons. Private sellers get some guns and ammunition and will sell them to those in need. ”
"How much?"
"There are not many people who sell them, and there are not many of them. However, sometimes there will be some special weapons, and everyone will bid on them. ”
"Special weapons?"
"Like cannons, sniper rifles, and so on."
"What's the currency here?"
"Food stamps. Issued by the government, the current degree of application is average, and the credibility is not very high. However, at the exchange office, food stamps can indeed be exchanged for grain. ”
"If you don't have food stamps, you can only use food?"
"Bartering is fine. In short, as long as the buyer and seller are willing! ”
"So what do casinos use to make bets? Can't everyone mention a generation of food, right? ”
"That's true! However, the casino will give you chips before you enter the door, and then you will be drawn two pounds of ticket money per person. ”
"What about brothels?" Li Xiaorou suddenly spoke, and found Zhang Qiru looking at him in surprise, and said calmly: "Help you ask, so as not to make a fool of yourself when you want to go!" ”
"This goddess is so interesting! With such a beautiful goddess at home, what are you doing in a brothel to see those broken flowers and willows? The brothel can do things as long as it gives food! Very simple! ”
Zhang Qiru secretly gave the shopkeeper a thumbs up, this guy is too good at talking!
"And bars, meals, ballrooms?"
"It's about the same as the black market. However, most of the bars are frequented by hunters, and sometimes some strange things are used for money, but those are always valued in advance. ”
"Valuation?"
"Yes, a lot of shops will recycle something special and then value it for exchange."
"Okay, thank you! Keep the cosmetics for me, and I'll bring you food later! Zhang Qiru also inquired about it and was ready to leave.
"You can take the cosmetics first. I still believe in the credibility of Hunter Zhang! The shopkeeper directly handed the cosmetics to Yang Xiaoqi and Li Xiaorou.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Qiru was very optimistic about the shopkeeper, thanked him and left with the three of them.
