Chapter 251: Side Tea Caravan

This town is really dilapidated, although it is better than the fairy tale village, and there are more people, but the streets are still muddy roads, there are small puddles everywhere, and most of the shops on both sides are mud houses, and it is difficult to see a decent brick house. Our look has attracted a lot of attention, and I'm a man who has driven two million luxury cars, and I can't afford to lose this person.

The enticing scent came from the bun shop on the side of the road, and I swallowed my saliva, and my stomach gurgled in my stomach.

"Fellow, how much does this bun cost?" Zhang Peng asked.

"Six in a dime." The boss said, glancing at us, and didn't want to talk to us anymore. "Go aside, don't interfere with my business."

"Six for a dime, so cheap! I'll give you a hundred, will you give us two? Zhang Peng asked. Damn, mentally retarded, people are doing business, and they dare to take it out, be careful of being beaten.

"No fiat currency, just silver dollars." The boss skillfully wraps the buns, and they are still minced with meat.

"What kind of stuffing is this, lamb stuffing?" Zhang Peng raised his toes, stretched his head and asked, the sound of his stomach had already told the boss that we were poor.

"If you have money, take it out, if you don't have money, get out!" The boss yelled.

We had at least 1,000 RMB in our pockets, but we had no choice but to get out of here, sitting on the stone pier opposite the bun shop, looking at Mei to quench our thirst, and the two of us grunted and swallowed. Looking at the crowd coming and going, I took out a glance and nodded, I was so hungry, I put something in my mouth, and I comforted it.

"I still have 900,000 yuan in CCB's card, and I haven't spent it all." I said.

"I'm frugal, I've worn a pair of underwear for three years, and I still have 1.3 million in the card, and now it's okay, I can't even afford a bun, I knew to exchange some gold and bring it over."

People just look at us once in a while when they pass by, but no one gives us a reward. We were obviously sweating profusely, and we had to wear thick cotton jackets, but our lower bodies were bare-legged, and one of us was carrying a knife and the other was carrying a sword, which was very strange.

"Monkey, can you borrow a bowl of water to drink! Didn't you grow up here? At least you can cheer up the relationship in your hometown dialect. I said to Zhang Peng.

"It's useless, the accent has long been different."

"You have to find a way to make some money, otherwise how can you find Liu Ling."

At this time, a middle-aged man in a navy blue coat came over, glanced at us, walked three meters away, and came back and said, "Is the sword for sale?" ”

Zhang Peng shook his head and said, "Not for sale." ”

"Ten oceans!" The man said.

"Not for sale."

"Thirty oceans."

"Not for sale!"

When the man saw that we were determined not to sell, he was unwilling to leave. It was not an option to sit here, and after resting about the same, we walked towards the crowded place.

"Actually, you can sell it, anyway, if you meet the Xiong family, your sword will be gone." I say.

"Why don't you sell Liu Ling's knife?"

"It's different, this knife is the only thing on my mind right now."

What a dime to stump a hero! I want to be born in the river...... Forget it, I don't have the strength to brag. When I saw the horse manure on the ground, I thought it was a roasted sweet potato.

I wandered around until the evening, and I didn't even see a place to sell coolies, and I was so hungry that I was dizzy! We saw a northwest inn, with a total of two floors, and food on the first floor, thinking that it was dinner time, and in case someone ate the leftovers, we could take the opportunity to go in and get some leftovers, it was better than starving to death.

But business here is not very good, there are few people to eat, we dare not be seen by the boss, so we can only hide in the corner.

When it was dark, a convoy of horses came from afar, and it was estimated that there were dozens of horses, and each rider led three horses, carrying a lot of goods on them. As the leader passed by, he saw us crouching in the corner and asked, "Do you have the strength?" ”

I quickly stood up and said, "Strength! ”

"Okay, help us move these goods to the inn and put them away, a silver dollar!"

We hurriedly walked over, just moved a piece of goods to Zhang Peng's shoulder, and before he took three steps, he directly pressed him down, he was not particularly strong, and he had been hungry for so long. The leader of the horse team was not happy when he saw it, "If you don't have the strength, get out!" ”

"Yes, yes!" I hurriedly handed the knife to Zhang Peng, let him rest on the side, in order to prove my strength, carried two goods on my shoulders at a time, and looked at the captain with a smile, this is a rare opportunity, there are no pedestrians on the road, miss this opportunity, and there will be no work to do.

He took out his pipe and lit it, then nodded with satisfaction, and asked me to move in and put it according to the requirements of the horse team, and it took at least an hour to finish moving, I was really tired like a dog, I don't know if I can eat enough for a silver dollar!

I patted the dust off my body and walked to the counter, "Boss, how do you sell this rice?" ”

"There is no rice, the staple food is steamed buns and noodles."

"How much is a bun?" I think noodles must be more expensive, and money can't be spent indiscriminately.

"Aren't you ordering?" He asked.

"Let's just eat, then...... How much is a bowl of noodles? ”

"One silver dollar can eat two large bowls of mutton noodle soup."

"Then we'll buy buns."

"Buns don't just sell! There are small shops outside that specialize in selling steamed buns, so go and see if they're closed. ”

I have to go and see if the steamed bun shop is closed, after all, a silver dollar can buy dozens of steamed buns, which can be eaten for several days.

The captain of the horse team came down to dinner with the horse team at this time, and when he looked at me, he asked, "Are you a foreigner?" ”

"Yes."

He didn't ask me where I was, but said, "Come eat with us!" ”

I'm happy in my heart, I shouldn't have to spend money on us! Or say hello, "Big brother, does the horse team have any work for us?" ”

"Nope."

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Chengdu."

"Can you take us with you, as long as you eat and stay, you don't want a penny." I said quickly.

"You're okay, your friend, no." He shook his head and said.

Zhang Peng hurriedly walked over and said, "Big brother, I just haven't eaten for a day and a night, and I still have a lot of strength." ”

"Yes, yes, besides, if he can't do it, I can do two by myself." I hurriedly said, such a good opportunity can't be lost.

The captain smoked his pipe, looked at me and nodded, "You're a little righteous, okay, eat first!" ”

These people's income seems to be not bad, they eat very richly, not only mutton, but also wine, we sit in the corner, and we don't dare to be presumptuous, just eat some staple food quietly, don't dare to be too embarrassed, otherwise people will look down on us.

"Brother, what kind of business are you doing?" Zhang Peng asked with a smile.

"The main thing is to transport tea to the frontier, and when you come back, bring some animal skins." The captain said.

"The elder brother seems to be mixing very well, and people are also righteous, so bring more junior brothers in the future!" Zhang Peng began to squirt, yes, no matter how ambitious the goal is, it is not as important as filling the stomach at present.

"In these years, there are many people who want to find a job, and it is not easy to eat, my brother is enough, when you get to Chengdu, you can figure it out by yourself."

It's good that people are willing to take us to Chengdu, Zhang Peng hurriedly took out a lighter to light a cigarette for him, the captain saw that the lighter seemed to be very interested, stared at it for a long time, Zhang Peng put the lighter in front of him, and said: "Western goods, can be automatically ignited." ”

What bullshit Western goods, I bought them at the commissary for a dollar.

A fat man next to him grabbed it and snapped and played, muttering: "How can Western goods have Chinese characters, what does Xinxin lighter mean?" ”

"You don't understand this, if you import it into China, you must print Chinese!" The captain said, then snatched it and stuffed it into his pocket.

After we were full, we had a full burp, and one guy drank too much and his chopsticks fell under the table, so he went to look for it, and came out as if he had seen a ghost, "Big brother, they are bare...... Bare-eyed. ”

Damn, I quickly explained: "We were robbed on the road and have no clothes to wear." ”

"Robbery? One of you carries a sword, and the other carries a sword, don't you have any real skills? The captain asked.

"Yes, yes, but the other side has a gun!" Zhang Peng hurriedly replied.

The captain nodded suspiciously, and said to the fat man, "You take them up to get two clothes to wear." ”

After changing clothes, the basic problems were finally solved, first go to Chengdu to earn some money, and then go to Shanghai, I don't know if Xiao Lingzi is there, maybe there is a chance to see Mrs. Shi Qing's demeanor when she was young.

In the evening, the captain let the two of us look at the goods under the stairs, the work was easy, I and Zhang Peng laid the floor below, took turns to sleep, and people could not make mistakes in their work for the first time.

In the middle of the night, when the shopkeeper was asleep, the door was pushed open, and an old woman in a black robe and a black veil staggered in, and went upstairs without giving money to open the room, carrying a rattan basket on her back.
