Chapter 3: Tiger Skin
Zhang Chu carried two hangs of money in his arms, and walked in the alley of Wutong with a heavy heart, and Li Gouzi and Yu Er followed him respectfully.
"The first step is steady. ”
"Next, it is to win people's hearts and minds and get the most out of the competition between the Blue Dragon Gang and the Eight Gate Gang!"
"The key is to make money!"
"There are people who have money!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Chu involuntarily touched the two big coins in his arms.
The currency system of the Great Departure Country, one hundred big coins for one hanging, one hanging for one two silver, ten taels of silver for one for two gold!
However, most of the gold and silver are in the hands of the money bank and those big households, and the most circulating in the hands of ordinary people is still big money.
And a big amount of money can buy two white-flour steamed buns, which is almost equivalent to two soft sister coins in terms of purchasing power.
Two hanging coins are only 400 soft sister coins, but in real terms, it is definitely more than 10,000 soft sister coins!
Zhang Chu's previous business of choppy soup Malatang, with a balance of only five or six big dollars a day, was all looked down upon and almost beaten to death!
The poor ghost in the sycamore, a day can mix two or three nests mixed with grain bran, it is a very good day...... That kind of nest head, for a big buck, can buy five.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Chu turned his head and looked at the two minions behind him: "Li Gouzi, Yu Er, where is your territory?"
Li Gouzi is a young man with a missing front tooth, while Yu Er is a middle-aged man with a missing thumb on his left hand.
When Li Gouzi heard this, he stepped forward and bared his yellow teeth: "Master Chu, our territory is the alley next door." ”
Zhang Chu glanced at his hand and knew it in his heart.
The alleys in the sycamore were all about the same, the same tattered and dirty, and he didn't mean to go over and take a look.
"How much money can I collect each month?"
Li Gouzi: "If you go back to Zhang Ye, if you have good luck, you can have fifty or sixty big bucks a month, and if you don't have good luck, you will only have thirty or forty big bucks." ”
"How poor!"
Zhang Chu sighed secretly in his heart.
This was also expected by him...... How much oil and water can these poor ghosts in the sycamore? There is really a lot of oil and water, and Liu Wu can't row him so happily!
Of course, when he joined the Black Tiger Hall, he didn't point to making a living by collecting protection money.
What he wants is the tiger skin of the Black Tiger Hall!
"Which uncle did you go with before?"
Li Gouzi: "Master Chu, we used to be with Zhang Meng and Master Meng!"
Zhang Chu listened to Li Gouzi's words, but his eyes swept over Yu Er next to him.
followed all the way, Li Gouzi was answering, and the rest of the two didn't answer a word.
What a silent man?
Or do you have something else in mind?
He thought for a while, took out a hanging of money from his arms, untied the rope and counted fifty big coins and handed it to Yu Er: "Second brother, if you send these money to the fierce master, you will say that I Zhang Chu is filial to him!"
Yu Er glanced at Zhang Chu unexpectedly and nodded: "Yes, Master Chu!"
After Yu Er left, Zhang Chu casually raced the remaining fifty big coins into Li Gouzi's hands, "Dog, take this money and buy a nest head of forty big money, and keep the remaining ten big money, and by the way, invite me to come over...... You are younger than Yu Er, and your brain is active, I am optimistic about you!"
With ten big bucks for nothing, Li Gouzile's mouth was about to crack to the root of his ears, "Thank you Master Chu, you will be my brother in the future!"
Ten big bucks!
That's a lot!
Don't look at the fact that they used to get fifty or sixty big bucks a month, but the big heads were all Zhang Meng's, and if they fell into him and Yu Jun, one person could have so much money, they should laugh!
Ruffian hooligans?
The ruffians and hooligans in the sycamore are almost the same as the coolies in other places!
When Zhang Chu saw him like this, he laughed in his heart, and at the same time, he once again sighed the horror of being uneducated.
People are educated, and they are all exhausted and smeared.
has no culture, and can only say one sentence: You will be my brother in the future.
......
The sky is clear.
A cauldron was set up in the middle of the filthy alley.
The large chunks of firewood under the cauldron were crackling.
There was a large steamer in the pot, and wisps of heat gathered in the golden sunlight.
The slightly bitter fragrance of vegetable leaves wafts through the alleys......
Figures with withered faces crawled out of the low and dilapidated shacks and slowly gathered around the cauldron.
But no one dared to approach the cauldron.
Li Gouzi carried a Qi Mei stick and stood in front of the cauldron.
Li Gouzi is certainly not terrible!
What is terrifying is the Black Tiger Hall behind him!
The poor ghost in the sycamore, who doesn't know the Black Tiger Hall!
Those who don't know have become dead.
Behind the cauldron, there is a makeshift platform.
Zhang Chu, who washed up and changed into clean clothes, slowly climbed the high platform.
Although his face is still sallow, he wears clean and tidy clothes on his body, and finally restores a little bit of the nobility of the chic and uninhibited rich second generation in his previous life.
This thing is very wonderful.
You can't see it, you can't touch it, but it's real!
And it's not something that can be cultivated overnight!
Zhang Chu undoubtedly has.
Although it is not as good as those noble sons of big families who have really been passed down for several generations, at least they have gotten rid of the recklessness of the nouveau riche.
And this is enough to widen the gap between him and these poor ghosts in Wutongli.
Zhang Chu stood on the high platform, folded his hands, and after glancing at it, he said: "Some people know me, and some people don't know me!"
"My name is Zhang Chu!"
"Black Tiger Hall White Paper Fan!"
"In the future, this street will be under my control!"
"In other words, everyone will be begging for a living under my hands in the future!"
"These nests are my gift to everyone!"
"From now on, if anyone doesn't want to starve, they can come to me Zhang!"
"Zhang doesn't have the ability to do anything, but at least he can give everyone a way to live!"
"Dog, let's make a nest!"
Li Gouzi immediately pulled his throat and yelled: "You short-lived miscellaneous pieces, don't you thank Chu Ye for your benevolence!"
The many poor ghosts in the sycamore were stunned for a while, and then they said in twos and threes: "Thank you Chu Ye for your benevolence!"
The voice was weak, and I couldn't hear much gratitude.
Zhang Chu didn't care, he knew that although the residents here were cheap, they were not so cheap that they were grateful to people for two or three wild vegetable nests.
......
Outside the Black Tiger Hall.
took off his shirt, and the shirtless Liu Wu walked on the horse, holding a bucket-sized stone lock in one hand and struggling with his arm strength, and the large muscles kept rising and falling with his movements.
In late autumn, it was already a little chilly, but there were wisps of heat rising on Liu Wu's body.
Yu Erbi stood respectfully in the distance.
After a while, Liu Wu threw down the two stone locks, stood up slowly, and slowly exhaled a white breath.
The white gas ruler is long, condensed but not dispersed, just like an entity!
Yu Er came over at this time, bowed down and said, "Hall Master, Master Chu sent half a hanging money to Meng Ye, saying that it was a filial piety to Meng Ye, and he also spent half a hanging money to buy some hair for those poor ghosts on the ground." ”
Liu Wu smiled, "It's a person who understands the rules!"
Yu Er didn't dare to say more.
After a few breaths, Liu Wu said again: "Is his bottom line clear?"
Yu Er nodded: "Jintian County people, three years ago in Jintian Mansion, there is a seriously ill old lady in the family, who has been making a living by writing letters on behalf of others, a few days ago, I did a small business, and I was smashed by Niu Ye's people, and I was almost killed!"
"Oh, Cheng Da Niu's people?"
Yu Er nodded: "Yes!"
Liu Wu smiled deeply: "It's a little interesting!"
"You go back, and report back to me if there is any abnormal news!"
"Yes, Hall Master!"
Yu Er bowed his head and retreated.
......
The faint oil lamp added some light to the low, dilapidated room.
Zhang Chu led Lang Zhong out of the house and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Xu, how is my mother's illness?"
The old man stroked his gray beard and said: "The old lady is cold to the bones, hurting the internal organs, with the power of medicinal stones and full-term recuperation, or have the power to return to heaven!"
Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, some treatments are good!
He casually stuffed twenty big coins into Lao Langzhong's hand: "I'm tired of Dr. Xu prescribing a prescription, I'll take the medicine according to the prescription!"
Lao Langzhong weighed the big money in his hand and smiled: "It should be." ”
Zhang Chu: "Dog, send Dr. Xu back, and catch the medicine back by the way!"
Li Gouzi came in with a Qi Mei stick and bowed his head, "Yes, Master Chu!"
