Chapter 201: The Temple Fair on the Third Day of the Lunar New Year
There is a temple fair on the third day of the Lunar New Year, but although it is said to be a temple fair, there is no temple in Dongshan Prefecture.
Local temple fairs are held near temples, and although there are no temples in Jinshan City, the most important thing is open space. With a wave of its hand, the Maritime Safety Bureau released an area planned as a market, and rented it to the trading houses participating in the temple fair for a symbolic fee.
On the way back to Jinshan City, Liu Yifeng got the news from his new friend Yang Changbai, so he immediately asked Yang Changbai to do him a favor and booked the best location on the part of the road with the largest flow of people at the temple fair.
"Hurry up, hurry up! I let people in at 9 a.m.! ”
Only Feng Shuo commanded loudly at the scene, and when he saw someone clumsy, he immediately rushed up and helped while scolding.
"Brother Li, then our security will be handed over to you."
"Don't worry, shopkeeper Liu, the brothers will be under your command for the past 3 days."
In addition to the plate of rice candy at noon yesterday, Liu Yifeng also asked people to send rice candy, sugar gourds and sugar oil fruits. Of course, they all failed to practice for Lao Wang, such as the syrup was a little burnt, or accidentally fried old and the like.
After all, Liu Yifeng thought that the temple fair would be very busy, and it would definitely not work if there was only Lao Wang in the back kitchen, so he chose a few honest ones among the people and threw them to Lao Wang as a cook. Those failed products are made by them, and of course their own people have eaten success.
But even if it is a failed product, it is a rare delicacy for Li Yunrui and a group of poor explorers. In the evening, they came to thank them, and by the way, they offered to buy some sweets. Liu Yifeng gave it to them directly and generously, but he refused to accept the money.
After the two tugged for a while, Liu Yifeng saw that the time was ripe, so he simply proposed that the temple fair be held for 3 days, and Li Yunrui and his gang would be the bodyguards of his stall. This is Yang Changbai arranged to take Liu Yifeng to see the best stall of the Maritime Safety Bureau to remind that every year at the temple fair, there are a group of poor and crazy explorers who come to touch porcelain, and it is best to hire some people to watch the store.
This little official didn't know that Liu Yifeng was the shopkeeper of the commercial house who defeated the Dongshan Qianzhuang with artillery in the internal rumors of the Maritime Safety Bureau, otherwise he would never have suggested this.
Liu Yifeng is not afraid of any explorers to touch porcelain, except for Lao Wang and a few of Lao Wang's helpers, almost everyone under his command has seen blood, and more than half of them have killed people.
However, he wanted to win over Li Yunrui's gang, so he wanted them to be the bodyguards he didn't need.
Everyone has been getting along for about a month, and he can also see that Li Yunrui's group of explorers are all real.
His plan was to build his own city in the Greater Los Angeles area in the future, but he didn't have GPS or maps, he didn't know where the Greater Los Angeles area was, and he didn't know if there were any hostile Indians in that area.
So he needs a strong team to explore the way in the south, originally he planned that Feng Shuo would take the early team to go, but now that the early team is gone, two-thirds of the team is gone, and he doesn't want anything to happen to them with the remaining one-third, so he can only find someone else.
And Li Yunrui and his team members made up for this pit perfectly.
Li Yunrui was already trying to get close to Liu Yifeng, so he naturally agreed ecstatically.
After arranging Li Yunrui's side, Liu Yifeng returned to the counter, and the people in charge were Li Hongji and Song Xiance, who called him the only one who knew Braille. The three of them talked for a while, and as soon as Liu Yifeng explained the matter of playing and tasting, he heard the sound of gongs in the distance, and the temple fair began.
"Zhao Lao Wu, beat the drum!"
"Howler!"
I saw Zhao Lao Wu take off his shirt with Ma Chen and the other two strong people, showed his muscles in the cold air of less than ten degrees, picked up the drumstick and beat it rhythmically, and shouted neatly while knocking it back: "Look here, look at it here, the crystal clear sugar gourd!" Freshly out of the pot sugar and oil fruit! Crispy rice candy! And the most gift-friendly inlay bean candy! Our store will be held for three days, and all goods will be half price, half price! After this village, there is no such shop, don't miss it when you pass by! ”
Before anyone who visited the temple fair had time to see what this year's temple fair had to offer, they were attracted by the sound of drums and the sound of soliciting customers. Especially the "half price", when I heard that there was a cheap advantage, this group of bitter people almost ran over.
"Lao Wang, get out of the pot!"
As Lao Wang arrived behind him with a dustpan of sugar, oil, and fruit dough, a sweet smell with oil and meat filled the air.
"Don't squeeze, let me go to the queue!"
"Fuck, I don't know how to read, I'm going to line up!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't know words, listen to what I said, go to the queue over there!"
"Go to the queue, go to the queue, who dares to cut the queue and beat whom!"
"Hey, you, yes, that's you, you're in line over there, you're wrong!"
At Liu Yifeng's suggestion, Li Yunrui's gang half-guided and half-forced all the people who came to see the situation obediently went to line up. And Liu Yifeng also vacated the queuing area in advance, so as not to block the traffic, and the queue of people can just block the view outside, so that the people who came behind saw that many people were queuing, and there was a sweet smell in the air.
The other trading houses of the temple fair didn't have time to get depressed, and they even wanted to line up to see what was being sold at half price.
The first person to come out of the exit, his face was full of happiness, and the onlookers found him and immediately asked him if he had lined up to go in and what was inside.
"Sugar gourd, get a bunch for free, and sugar and oil fruits, you can try one. There are also small pieces of that rice and what kind of sugar, so sweet. ”
Hearing that the sugar gourd was given away for free and that they could also try the sugar and oil fruits, these people were full of disbelief, but as the second and third people also walked out with happy faces, one of them still had only one sugar gourd left in his hand, and the people who were still waiting immediately went to line up.
On the morning of the first day of the temple fair, the biggest hit appeared, a trading house called "Jinshan Sweet Village" sold sugar gourds, sugar oil fruits and rice candy that had never been heard of before at half price. It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, they give away a string of sugar gourds for free, although there are only 3 small ones, but after all, they are free. You can also try one of the sugar and oil fruits, they have never eaten anything so delicious.
As for the rice candy, it was given a taste at first, but later it was said that the number of places to try it was exhausted, and those who couldn't eat it were immediately dissatisfied. But under the gaze of Li Yunrui's gang, they could only ask the price, and if they could afford it, they bought some, and those who couldn't afford it were politely invited to the exit with a sugar gourd.
Liu Yifeng's scale is so large, it naturally attracts people's attention.
There are curious, some are unhappy, and some are ready to touch porcelain.
"Brother, over at the entrance, this side is the exit, go and line up."
This was in the face of those curious people who tried to sneak in from the beginning, but at the exit, Liu Yifeng arranged for the most ferocious people under Li Yunrui's command and the strongest people on his side, including Feng Shuo, to guard them. When the ordinary people saw them, they slipped away, and the explorers who boasted of being Jianghu people made an assessment of their strength and slipped away.
"This brother, when you are queuing, our people have been announcing loudly: one person will give a bunch of sugar gourds, try a sugar and oil fruit, we don't care how many friends you have, we will only send one bunch. If your friends want to eat it, we recommend that you buy it back and invite them to eat, if you don't want to spend this money, we will give it away and try it today, you can go back and let them come to line up. ”
This person who is obviously finding fault will definitely not reason with Li Hongji, so Song Xiance raised his voice and said: "We have already explained the truth to you very clearly, this brother, if you still have any questions, please come and line up again and tell us that you are now delaying the time of those people behind you!" ”
Originally, the other people behind this person who found fault were very unhappy, they were very worried that they didn't give it away or try it when it was their turn, and it was okay to be close to the person who found fault, but they didn't speak and stared at him silently to put pressure on him, and they didn't know what was going on inside if they didn't get close to him, and they only heard Song Xiance's sentence "You are delaying the time of those people behind you now", and immediately felt that they were at a loss and began to scold.
This kind of pressure is unbearable for a hooligan who is not a professional porcelain, he is just an ordinary guy sent by the surrounding business houses to try to make trouble, and he naturally retreated under this pressure.
As for the professional porcelain toucher......
"One, two, three, throw!"
"Ahh
With a scream, a figure flew out, rolling on the ground a few times before barely getting up: "You... You beat people in the streets! I'm going to sue you at the Maritime Administration! ”
Of course, this rogue explorer who touches porcelain by profession would not dare to really sue the official, Li Yunrui and their old rivers and lakes couldn't be clearer, and they didn't bother to pay attention to him. Only the Cham man shouted at the back of the incompetent and furious man who was trying to regain face: "Brother, you are going the other way, the yamen of the Maritime Safety Bureau is over there!" ”
The Maritime Safety Bureau must have someone stationed at the temple fair, after all, there are people making trouble every year. Liu Yifeng is in such a big battle, they are naturally very concerned. There are really people who touch porcelain, and the bolder ones with thicker skin really go to them to complain, and the officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau have to come over to take a look.
"Yes, he had to say that he ate what we were, and he had a stomachache. This man said that there were bugs in our dish, and not only did he not lose money, but he also beat him. Liu Yifeng said with a smile: "How many people do you want to come in and see what we are selling?" ”
After Liu Yifeng took them in, the few people who touched porcelain were surrounded by the Zhan men with a group of people. After the people from the Maritime Safety Bureau came out with sugar gourds and a cowhide bag containing rice candy and sugar oil fruits, Liu Yifeng saluted them and said, "There are a few Lao." ”
"Don't worry, shopkeeper Liu, it is our duty to deal with this kind of person who makes trouble at the temple fair!"
A few people who touched the porcelain immediately understood that they had been exposed, and immediately prepared to shout something like "The Maritime Safety Bureau colluded with profiteers to prevent us from telling the truth", but they were quickly held down by the Zhan men. Ao Bai took the burlap that he didn't know how much ash had been stained and stuffed it directly into their mouths.
After sending away the officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau who were holding the porcelain toucher, Liu Yifeng's side was also much cleaner, and those who touched the porcelain knew that this was a hard book, and they didn't dare to come for the time being. Instead, I obediently went to line up, at least to know what to sell in order to touch porcelain, right.
As a result, when they were sent until their feet were weak, they heard Li Hongji say eight words: "Noon, rest, afternoon, please be early." ”
