Chapter 122: Practice marksmanship

In the evening, Ding Kui appeared at the headquarters of the Heavenly Dao Trading House out of breath. He knocked heavily on the table at the service desk and said, "Liu Neng, give me another thousand bottles of Juyuan Dan immediately!"

"Do you want a thousand bottles? The fourth phase of the lottery ticket of Tiandao Commercial Bank has been delayed for two days and has not yet been drawn. Liu Neng looked up and asked stunned for a moment.

He didn't believe that Baicaotang's business was so prosperous, and it could sell five or six hundred bottles of Juyuan Dan a day.

This afternoon, a customer bought 1,200 bottles of Juyuan Dan at one time. Ding Kui scratched his head embarrassedly.

"1,200 bottles? Can one person use it up? You sell 14 taels of bottles, and Huibaolou sells 18 taels of bottles, and everyone wants to make the difference from it. After Liu Neng asked the price, he revealed the truth of the matter.

Liu Hong was reluctant to leave after having lunch in the weaving workshop, and waited until the sun went down before saying goodbye to Qi Yunxiang.

He galloped all the way to the gate of the barracks, and only then did he hold on to the reins and remember that his animal skin had been left in the weaving workshop.

"Commander, you... You've been promoted again!" Han Baoding, who was standing at the gate of the barracks, was so excited that he couldn't speak.

"Commander Liu, you're finally back!" Lin Junmen's paperwork also came out of the wooden house outside the barracks gate.

Liu Hong got off the horse inexplicably, only to know that he had become Lin Junmen's scapegoat.

The affairs in the barracks have a complete set of rules, and the small things are handled by Lin Junmen's paperwork, and there are only two major things left to Liu Hong: repairing the magic weapon of the Lei Grottoes and renting out the Jiaojiao.

"You send a message to the merchant army, and I will invite him to drink good wine tomorrow morning!" Liu Hong patted the clerk on the shoulder and walked to the barracks.

"Captain Liu, the merchant army gate has never come to our West Gate Guard. ”

It is not that the Shang Junmen looks down on the Lin Junmen and the Ximen City Guard, because the two military gates will definitely arouse the suspicion of the city lord when they meet in public, especially in the military camp. So, they all meet in private.

"You tell him that if he misses out on this business, he will regret it for the rest of his life!"

The East Gate Protector Army is mainly a naval army, and the Shang Army Gate is a cautious character, can Commander Liu Qianfu invite him into the barracks? The clerk looked at Liu Hong's increasingly blurred back, shook his head, and prepared to go to the communication office to send a message.

...........................................

The next morning, a tent was erected in the open space at the intersection of the two roads in Juma, at the entrance of the barracks of the West Gate Guard. Several commanders and deputy commanders received orders to sit in tents to eat meat and drink wine.

Commander Huang Qian, the only one who knew the reason for the incident, was secretly worried, would the merchant army come or not?

Seeing that the hour had passed, Captain Huang Qianfu ordered the banquet to be held. For a time, the big bowl of drinking, bragging, and the noise spread outside the barracks. The strong aroma of wine provoked the centurion on duty to swallow his saliva secretly.

"This military master, is there any happy event in your military camp?"

An old man with his hair in a bundle suddenly stuck his head into the window of the cabin.

"Of course, it's a happy event for these chiefs. Because of Captain Liu's confession, if the guests have not come after the hour, all the 20 barrels of peach blossom brew that have just been sent will be rewarded to them to drink. ”

"This military master is laughing! Peach blossom brewing is a good wine that money can't buy, let alone 20 barrels, even a glass you can't buy!" The old man retracted his neck and sniffed the aroma of wine in the atmosphere.

The centurion smiled and was about to speak, when the car that had delivered the wine just now came back, and the car was impressively printed with an advertisement for the weaving workshop.

After the old man got out of the way and watched the carriage stop, the coachman got down and took out a shoulder and handed it to the centurion, saying, "I forgot one thing just now! You Liu Gongzi have an animal skin shoulder that was lost in our weaving workshop yesterday. We are in charge of the shopkeeper and let me bring it to him by the way. ”

Seeing that the coachman was about to get in the car and leave, the old man hurriedly stopped him: "This big brother! Are you really the coachman of the weaving workshop? What are you sending to the barracks?"

"Is it the coachman of the weaving workshop, you old man can go and see it with the car. ”

"Our shopkeeper Qi has an agreement with Liu Gongzi to send 20 barrels of peach blossom brew to Liu Gongzi every month to pay off the debt!"

20 barrels of peach blossom brew every month? Could it be that the sergeants in the tent at the entrance of the barracks are really drinking peach blossom brew now? This kind of fine wine, like them, is simply a waste! No! I must go in and have a look!

..........................................

The merchant army revealed his identity, and after entering the tent at the entrance of the barracks, he was nodding and greeting everyone on the surface, but he was actually counting the barrels of peach blossom brewing. Seeing that there were still 17 barrels unopened, he sat down with peace of mind and pondered how to pocket them.

Huang Qianfu gave up the merchant gate to the main seat, poured out a bowl of peach blossom brew, and motioned for the others to take turns to toast. It wasn't until Shang Junmen was a little unfavorable that he started to talk about business.

I believe that the East Gate Guards also lack Jiaojiaojiao horses for training, perhaps because you have some financial difficulties, so you did not rent our Jiaojiaojiao. ”

He lowered his voice for fear that the others would hear it, and said, "Lin Junmen asked for leave, and Commander Liu Qianfu had full authority to act as the agent of the affairs of the camp. What he means is that a thousand wildebeest horses don't need money for you to use. ”

"Free to use?" Shang Junmen took the agreement handed over by Commander Huang Qian in disbelief.

There really is no mention of a tael of gold on the agreement. The condition that Jiaojiaoma was rented to the East Gate Protector was that the East Gate Protector would hand over 500 second-order beasts to the West Gate Protector every day.

The leather of the second-order beast can be sold to merchants after being nitrated. However, the army's mission is to train sergeants to protect the safety of Iwami Castle, not a leather workshop, so how can it be possible to spend time peeling and nitrating animal skins?

The Ximen Protector is renting out wildebeest horses and beasts, what do you want to do?

"The hundreds of fierce beasts hunted by the city guards every day, have they brought you a tael of gold?

After Captain Huang finished speaking, he put away the agreement and put it into his arms.

"The task given to us by Captain Liu is to drink these twenty barrels of wine in the morning. Like you, can you complete the task?" Commander Huang Qian, who turned around, shouted to the others: "Replace them all with soup pots to drink, and each person carries three buckets and puts them at his feet!"

Several deputy commanders, who were already a little drunk, got up from their positions with flirtatious soles on their feet and walked to the place where the wine was placed.

A bucket of peach blossom brew stacked on top of it was plucked down and cracked by a deputy commander. The clear peach blossom brew gushed out of the crack and dripped on the ground, and it hurt to see the merchant army.

"Captain Huang, I can sign the lease agreement, and I will buy the rest of the peach blossom brew together. I just want to know, what the hell is Liu Hong doing?"

After signing the agreement, you definitely don't have to pay for peach blossom brewing from the merchant army. As for what Liu Hong is doing, he can only know the truth when he goes to the welfare club of the Ximen City Guard.
