Chapter 521: Withered

Although Zhang Jiao's family background is good, his childhood experience is very miserable, and he has worked hard for a long time, so he understands the sophistication of ordinary people very well.

smiled and said: "I don't want to hear any hidden secrets, I just want to find someone who has lived in Shennongjia for a long time and talk about what I really think." ”

This is reassuring, although I can't guess Zhang Jiao's intentions, but it's good to make money, the broker smiled and nodded and said: "In this case, then I will thank Mr. for his help."

If there's anything you want to ask, just ask. ”

"It's already noon, let's find a more elegant place first, let's talk while eating.

It's okay to be more expensive. Zhang Jiao said with a smile.

Listening to what he said so refreshingly, none of the customers were successful in the morning, and the broker who was obviously hungry with his chest against his back but because he had no income and was reluctant to spend, he said happily: "Then I will bother Mr."

Since Mr. is from the South Seas, he must like Yusheng.

The live fish in the 'Sea Treasure Museum' in front of it are now killed, full of umami, why don't you go there and try it?"

Hearing the word 'Yusheng', Zhang Jiao's mind suddenly appeared with Lord Li Bin's face, and a thought flashed in his heart, "I don't know if Boss Li has entered Yiyuan's 'Sword Alliance', the disciple of the legendary former president." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded and said, "It's Yusheng, please lead the way, old man." ”

Stepping after the broker, he disappeared into the dock berth.

Haizhen Pavilion is said to be a museum, but it is actually a small seafood market.

Guests can choose seafood from the clearly marked stalls, hand it over to the chef in the kitchen, and pay a little processing fee to enjoy a delicious and inexpensive seafood feast.

10 A few minutes later, Zhang Jiao walked into the bazaar, looked at the salty ground, and knew that although he said that it was okay to be more expensive, the broker still jumped to a restaurant with a reasonable price.

Although he was not satisfied with his surroundings, he had a better impression of the old broker.

The broker on the side had been peeking at Zhang Jiao's face, and when he saw him enter the 'Sea Treasure Pavilion', he frowned, and immediately said with a dry smile: "Although the environment here is a little dirty, the food is very fresh and clean..."

"Old gentleman doesn't need to say any more," Zhang Jiao waved his hand to interrupt the broker's words, and said bluntly: "Although I really don't miss the meal fee of these few dollars, I can still distinguish between good and bad, so I won't be angry no matter what." ”

The broker was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly said with emotion: "Mr. has such a bearing, he must not be an ordinary person."

Alas, I didn't expect to finally see such a polite and well-bred person again after many years.

I don't mean this as a compliment, but as a heartfelt one. ”

"Hahaha, the old gentleman has won the prize. Zhang Jiao ate the rainbow fart and began to order.

After handing it over to the kitchen, he habitually found a side seat in the dining area and sat down, and asked, "Sir, I came to Haiyuan Harbor with my father when I was a child.

I vaguely remember that it was much more prosperous back then than it is now, what happened?"

"Nothing special happened, that is, with the decline of Nanyang, Jiang Chu fought with Shanjin and Western Qin, and life gradually became bitter.

Alas, it's not just Haiyuan Port, in fact, the entire Shennongjia is like this. The old broker said with a wry smile.

Zhang Jiao shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and blurted out: "Actually, the days in District Zero are already very hard, and if you go out to explore, even an intermediate transcendent can easily die, isn't it." ”

"Mr. comes from a wealthy family," because he has always behaved mildly and amiably, and is extremely cultivated," the old broker was much bolder, and corrected with a wry smile: "So I don't quite understand the meaning of the word 'bitter' in the mouths of our common people."

Life in Zone Zero is dangerous, but it is also quick to make money.

And if you want to make quick money and a lot of money, it is a matter of course for people like us to fight with your life, otherwise everyone will not come to Shennongjia to beg for a living, so that is not 'bitter'.

But the problem is that now, even if I exchange my life for money, I can't get much, so I say 'bitter'. ”

Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "In that case, why didn't the old gentleman leave Shennongjia?"

Anyway, you can't make money by taking risks, so since you can't make a fortune, you can take care of safety. ”

The broker let out a long sigh when he heard this, shook his head and said, "People like us can't be as chic as our husband, and our wives and children are used to living in one place, so it's so easy to leave."

Besides, Jiang Chu is with the national struggle of Shanjin and Western Qin, and the main area is not much safer than Shennongjia, so it is better to stay up here and wait for a turnaround.

It's just that what I didn't expect to wait for was a great transfer of the power of the supernatural catastrophe.

At present, the economy of Nanyang is beginning to recover little by little, with more and more merchant ships coming and going, and now passenger ferry flights have resumed, and even the money from Haiyuan Port is getting easier and easier to earn..."

"No, old man, it's still easy to earn like this?" Zhang Jiao couldn't help but interject in astonishment when he heard this.

"In the past, families who had lost their pillars in the port had starved to death. The old broker laughed miserably and said, "At least begging for food now, can you survive by doing a half-closed door?" ”

As he spoke, there was a faint hatred in his eyes, he clenched his teeth and took a few breaths before he gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiao understood how far the people's livelihood had withered before Shennongjia, and secretly thought in his heart: "Sure enough, it is right to temporarily find an old landholder in Shennongjia and ask about the situation."

There are so many grain-producing areas near Haiyuan Harbor, I remember that the first plantation under my name was near here, but people could still starve to death.

It seems that in order to compete with the Western Qin and Shanjin, the Jiang Chu government is simply trying to extract the grain of Shennongjia as if it were murdering, so as to kill chickens and take eggs, and cause the people to accumulate grievances, but they still go their own way.

Apparently a half-abandonment attitude here. ”

At this time, the seafood is ready and delivered.

Smelling the fragrance, Zhang Jiao came back to his senses, and his greedy eyes on the opposite side were about to pop out, but he still endured decency, and the old broker who didn't move his chopsticks smiled and said, "Let's eat when the food comes up, don't be polite." ”

After that, he first put a chopstick-shaped fish tarther into his mouth, which was counted as a ribbon cutting.

When the old broker saw this, he immediately started to eat, and the chopsticks flew and feasted.

Eating and eating, the movement suddenly slowed down, with a trace of sadness on his face, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, only tried to eat and drink again.

And Zhang Jiao saw the change in his expression, and said understandingly: "The old gentleman just mentioned his family, and we want to meet because of fate." When we leave, we will pack a few dishes according to what we are eating now, and please take them back with you, so that they can also have a tooth sacrifice. ”
