Chapter 52 Selling Radishes in the Provincial City

The next day, Brother Liang set off for the provincial capital with two pieces of bread.

On the way to the train station, Brother Liang carried a briefcase by himself, which looked like the village chief was on a business trip in the eighties of the last century;

Nijo and Rice Cake each carry a sack filled with Maple Grove's unique local specialty, the sauce radish, and look like farmers who have fled the disaster.

Before leaving, Nijo and Miki looked at the sack that Brother Liang had prepared for them, his face was full of confusion and embarrassment, and he pouted and asked:

"Brother Liang, let's go to the provincial capital and bring these toys to do chicken feathers? It's tiring to carry on your back, and it's a joke to look at. ”

Brother Liang kicked each of them in the ass and scolded:

"Your mother, Chen Meng is your brother anyway, I haven't seen him for more than a year, so I finally visited him and brought him some hometown food, is it too much? What's so funny? ”

The two of them couldn't say anything to refute, so they had to carry the sack and go on the road. Along the way, Nijo couldn't say anything because of his serious stammering, but he kept muttering in a low voice:

"Damn, I thought it would be cool to come out for free, but I didn't expect it to be just a coolie, and I didn't even pay my salary."

So, before the two got on the train, they were full of resentment.

The train didn't suffer much, after all, no matter how big and heavy the sack was, it was still resting on the luggage rack; After arriving at the destination, it was even more difficult than before getting into the car, and the two of them were carrying a sack on their backs and drilling in the crowd, sweating, panting, and being looked at everywhere.

What's more, the grain of rice did not enter one morning, but Brother Liang only invited the two of them to eat a bowl of rice noodles in the small shop in front of the station.

After eating, Brother Liang hurriedly walked in front with a cigarette bag in his mouth, and Nijo and Biscuit followed closely behind with a sack, begging all the way:

"Brother Liang, Brother Liang, can you slow down? We are not familiar with the streets of the provincial capital, and we lost them, but we can never find them back. ”

Brother Liang turned around, quite dissatisfied:

"Your mother, two big men can't take a step when they carry such a little thing, and the bowl of rice noodles just now went into the dog's stomach?"

Walking through two street corners, Brother Liang saw that the two guys behind him couldn't keep up, so he found a remote place to rest; Nijo and Miki put down the sack and sat on the side of the road panting, while Ryogo was on the phone in the leeward.

What Brother Liang pulled out was the phone number of the mysterious person who asked him to find a chess game. This person was introduced to him by a relative of Brother Liang who couldn't hit eight poles, and he had not only seen it before, but had not even heard of it.

Brother Liang only heard from that relative that climbing up to this person, whether in the temple or in the rivers and lakes, can instantly soar.

On the night that Brother Liang decided to go to the provincial capital this time, he put the meeting with this big man in the first place in the mission of this trip, and moved the matter of visiting Chen Meng to the second place. The two sacks of pickled radish were not actually brought for Chen Meng, but were prepared as a meeting gift for the big shots.

It sounds ridiculous to use radish as a greeting gift, but Brother Liang has thought it through. He knows very well that a big man in a provincial city like this lacks nothing, and he can't look down on ordinary things; Valuable treasures, such as celebrity calligraphy and paintings, he Zhou Weiliang can't afford them.

And digging out the heart to send two bags of local products that are not available elsewhere is not only safe, there is no suspicion of bribery, but if you don't get it, you will be regarded as a rare item by others, so you will be impressed by him.

Of course, Nijo and Mikai don't know anything about Brother Liang's thoughts. They really thought that the sweat they had paid along the way was shed for their brother Chen Meng in prison.

When the mysterious big man saw Brother Liang's call, he thought that the matter of the chess game was broken, and he was quite enthusiastic at first, and even the title was as close as a pair of:

"Xiao Zhou, what's going on?"

Brother Liang was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and organized the language countless times, before he intermittently said that he had always admired each other, and this time he happened to be in the provincial capital, and he wanted to meet the idol in his heart, and by the way, he brought some local products from his hometown, which was not a tribute.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the other party heard it, his tone immediately became cold:

"I'm out of town on a business trip. Let's skip the meeting. ”

Brother Liang was stunned for a while, and then woke up, no matter whether the other party's business trip was true or not, the meeting must have become a lie. But he did not give up, stared at the two sacks of turnips on the ground, and said incoherently:

"Since you're not here, we'll see you next time. However, two bags of souvenirs have been carried so far that it is unrealistic to carry them back, and it is a pity to throw them away. Just like this, you give me the address of the house, and I will send it to you; Or have it delivered to the door of the office. Drop it down and go, and never cause you any trouble. ”

When the other party heard him say such a long paragraph, he aroused his curiosity and asked in a deep voice:

"What are you carrying?"

Brother Liang saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and immediately made a long story short:

"Two sacks of turnips."

There was a "poof" sound on the other end of the phone, probably the mysterious big man was drinking water, and when he heard that someone else gave him a gift, he actually gave two sacks of radish, and one didn't hold back, and the water poured out of his stomach.

Brother Liang hurriedly explained incoherently:

"That's the sauce radish, the process of making it is very complicated, and that kind of sauce alone has enough sun for 7749 days. The radish had to be buried in the sauce jar for another 7749 days, and a layer of frost on the surface was completed. Generally, radish is salty, but the sauce radish is salty and sweet, which can not only aerate, but also aphrodisiac. Used to stew chicken, it is absolutely a delicacy in the world. ”

The other party probably leaned back and laughed a lot, because when Brother Liang stopped to gasp, he heard that the other end of the phone was also panting violently. After a long time, the big man cleared his throat and restarted his official tone:

"It's free. After all, I am a public official, and in broad daylight, people can see that the impact is not good. ”

Brother Liang couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that he had said so many words, wasted so much saliva, and made his mouth dry, but there was no progress in things; Once a person is anxious, it is not easy to speak in a measured manner, so he lost his temper on the phone:

"Day...... What about me, what about my two sacks? ”

When the other party saw him scolding foul language, a wave of anger immediately rose in his heart, and he shouted impatiently:

"Fuck how do I know what you're going to do? Pour into the moat, or set up a stall and sell it, you can do it yourself. ”

Brother Liang saw that the other party was angry, and regretted that he had lost his words, and he didn't dare to make a sound again. The other party was silent for a while, adjusted his tone, and said seriously:

"Remember, don't call me alone in the future unless you have an eye on the chess game; If this doesn't work out in the end, we'll treat it as if we've never known each other. ”

Brother Liang listened to the other party's determination, knowing that he was a little person after all, just running errands for others, and wanting to climb the other party and build a ladder for his life path was basically an unattainable dream.

Brother Liang hung up the phone silently. In addition to his sadness, he figured out another thing: the chess game fragment he was looking for was probably more mysterious than that of this big man.

Before that, Brother Liang just thought that this big man in the provincial city was just a special fond of playing chess, and he had nothing to do when he was full, and he liked to collect things like endgames and ancient scores everywhere.

It is likely that this person heard that there were chess games of the Song Dynasty circulating in Fenglin Town, so he did everything possible to keep it for himself, and it was not easy to come forward in person, so he found gangsters like Brother Liang and Brother Biao to run errands.

Now it seems that things are far from that simple. Because it can be heard from the tone that this person is in the officialdom and is extremely contemptuous of gangsters like him Zhou Weiliang, but the other party is willing to keep a one-line call with him in order to find a so-called chess game fragment.

It's not just a matter of satisfying interest. No matter how you look at it, it looks like the chess game fragments hide a huge secret. And this secret can't be known to many people.

Of course, Brother Liang's thinking ends here. He didn't know anything about what the secret was.

When Brother Liang called, although he walked away a few steps, Nijo and Mi Pi still heard most of the content clearly, knowing that Brother Liang had deceived them. It turned out that it was not for the brother to send a specialty, but to run errands for him personally.

The two are not only dissatisfied with Brother Liang, but are full of grievances and anger.

As soon as he saw Brother Liang hang up the phone and approach, Erjo opened his mouth to scold his mother, but he stammered even more because he was angry, and he couldn't speak at all; He was just about to vent his anger, but suddenly saw that Brother Liang had a gloomy face, and he estimated that he had an explosive* bag buried in his heart, and he quickly swallowed it back when the words came to his mouth.

People who often see the wind and rudder generally have a higher emotional intelligence. He sorted out his emotions, and finally decided to support Brother Liang to the end, although he couldn't squeeze out a smile on his face, he still asked with concern:

"Brother Liang, what now?"

Before Brother Liang could answer, Erjo's mouth opened countless times, and at this moment, he rushed ahead coldly and said a very smooth sentence:

"Radish, let's give it to Chen Meng."

Brother Liang was taken aback, because he had never seen Nijo speak so completely. However, after being surprised, he immediately returned to rationality and analyzed slowly:

"The prison is on the outskirts of the city, twenty miles away, and there is no public transportation. The two of you are carrying a bag on your back, and before you reach your destination, you are already tired and paralyzed. ”

The cake is a little crying and laughing:

"What then? Shall we eat it right here? ”

Nijo couldn't cry or laugh either:

"So much...... Ah, turnips, eat...... Eat it, hold it ...... If you don't die, you have to ...... Salty to you. ”

The gloom on Brother Liang's face was suddenly swept away, and he made a decision with confidence:

"Set up a stall on the spot. Sold it. ”

Nijo and Mi Bi were stunned, looking at Brother Liang for a long time, it seemed that he was speaking Martian, and no one could understand it at all. Brother Liang explained with infinite patience:

"The people in the provincial town have never seen the local products of small places, and if they can't make things scarce, they will be expensive, and they may be able to sell them at a good price. If that's the case, let's stay in a hotel tonight, but play in a nightclub. ”

When the two of them heard it, it seemed to make some sense. And because there was really no other way, I was carrying two sacks to hurry, and I had no motivation and not enough physical strength.

As a result, the three influential figures on the rivers and lakes of Fenglin Town set up a position on the streets of the provincial capital and sold local products. At first, it really attracted a few idlers, but as soon as the freshness passed, no one stopped in front of the two sacks.

Brother Liang asked Nijo to sit in the middle of the sack as a stall owner, and ordered the cake to shout at the street entrance:

"Don't miss it when you pass by, let's come and take a look, our native sauce radish in Fenglin Town, twenty yuan a catty, eat ventilation, and it can also be aphrodisiac."

After shouting, the cake turned to Brother Liang and asked:

"Isn't it stupid for me to call like this? People will think we're crazy, right? ”

Most of the people on the street were just curious about these three straw bales from other places, and then left in a hurry. Later, when it was time to leave school, several students gathered around the stall and talked about two sacks of blackened radishes:

"Neurotic, this is a turnip, it's obviously donkey dung broken into small pieces."

After speaking, he leaned back and smiled and walked away. Leaving the three of them looking at each other, crying and laughing.

Later, the three of them were humiliated and put away the stall, Brother Liang still walked in front with a briefcase, and Nijo and Mi Biscuit followed behind with a sack on their backs, until they walked to the moat, Brother Liang waved his hand, and the two people behind threw the sack into the river.

Unexpectedly, the sack was extremely heavy, and the loud sound of falling into the water attracted the attention of a patrol chengguan not far away, who carried an electric baton and chased after him while scolding foul language.

After the three of them threw the sack, they suddenly felt relaxed, and they ran wildly on the streets of the provincial capital.
