Chapter 138: Taboo

The mighty procession crossed the stream and crossed the green hills, and the further east they went, the counties and towns they passed through were more prosperous than the other.

Nanping County

There are many teahouses, restaurants, and inns

The streets are full of traffic

The bustling crowd is like a tide.

This is much stronger than Lu County.

It occupies at least twice as much land as Lu County, not to mention the economy and numbers.

It was really a heaven and an earth.

There is no comparison.

Being a county magistrate in Nanping County is much more promising than being a county magistrate in Lu County.

Nanping County is so prosperous, not to mention Jian'an County, which is only a day's journey away from Nanping County.

Song Huan found out that her original money-making plan was reversed by her.

She should buy something from these economically developed areas that is not available elsewhere, which is rare, so that she can make money.

Whether ancient or modern, the proximity to the coast has always been a bit more prosperous than the inland.

Except, of course, for a few special locations.

As long as the town can be connected by canal and land, it is difficult to prosper without thinking.

So her money-making plan can only be put on hold for the time being, and she can only carry it out when she goes back.

Now I have to think of another way.

However, fortunately, she got a fortune from Scar Man, and when the time came, she took it to the pawnshop as a mortgage, and she also had a lot of money.

It's not a loss.

Everyone entered the "lower part of the business" and settled down.

Open this business is like opening an inn, on both sides of the door, there are also eight big characters of "Shi Yan Xingtai, Anyu Merchant".

But it is absolutely impossible to hang a sign in front of the door that reads "Business Down".

The specific store is the real business location, which can only be identified by the people of the rivers and lakes.

Among their gang, Ah Di behaved the most unusually.

Just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

And among them, Wang Dayu, the eldest son, is not unusual, and he can still answer the phone.

Wang Dayu is a businessman, even if he hasn't taken over much business, he has been trained well by his family.

It is estimated that he has not dealt with many people in the rivers and lakes, maybe he is still an old man, but Song Huan is really a new springboard.

Brother is the first time to understand this line, although I have also read the jargon dictionary compiled by Brother Fu before, but it is always written, and it is still very shocking to really see it.

The rivers and lakes are really magical.

He can still understand the dialogue of the people here, mainly because Brother Fu's jargon dictionary has a role.

He has a good memory, and with a little application, it is almost the same.

At this time, it was not yet noon, and before entering the lower part of the business, Fu Yuanzhi specially emphasized the taboo in the lower part of the business - it was not allowed to "slow down" before noon.

In the next part of the business, whether it is a customer, a gentleman, a man, etc., it is not allowed to "go fast" before noon every day.

Here's what it means to slow down!

This is also the Kan'er of the rivers and lakes.

It is divided into eight kinds and is called "eight fast".

The first is "Tuan Huang Liangzi": businessmen call it Tuan Huang Liangzi in their dreams. (The next sentence replaces the corresponding one, eg: dreaming with a bridge)

The second is the "hanging beam": ...... Bridge......

The third is "Haizuizi": ...... Tiger......

The fourth is "sea strips": ...... Dragon......

Fifth, "soil strips": ...... Snake......

The sixth is the "Moon Palace Mouth": ...... Rabbit......

The seventh is the "mound of dirt": ...... Tower......

Eight is "firewood": ...... Tooth......

Even before noon every day, if the people in the store have a dream at night, they are not allowed to tell anyone that I had a dream last night.

For example, he told a fortune teller that he was dreaming at night, and he would not go out to set up a fortune stall today.

If a fortune-teller earns a tael a day, he asks for a tael from the man who told him that he was dreaming.

If you don't give, you can't do it.

Even if you don't give it, you have to buy something to treat yourself.

It is not only about dreams, but also about dragons, tigers, snakes, towers, bridges, teeth, and rabbits.

Suppose that when you are dreaming, twenty people present will hear it, and the chaos will be great.

These twenty people don't go out to earn money, how much money can they earn every day, whoever says that the dream is who is fast, and the person who is fast is asked to compensate for the loss of twenty people a day.

Of course, this is not forced not to tell you, you just don't just say the eight fast.

It is to replace "dreaming" with "yellow sorghum" and "tooth" with "firewood......

The meaning is still the same, it's just another way.

For example:

If you dream at night, don't tell the public about dreaming, say that I have a yellow beam at night, and say it like this, it will be fine.

Suppose you have a toothache.

Someone asked you in the early afternoon, "Why do you keep grinning?" ”

It's not allowed to say that you have a toothache, but you still have to joke and say, "I'm a 'firewood hanging'" (a toothache is a firewood hanging).

But if it's after noon, it's okay to slow down again.

This matter is very important to the people of the rivers and lakes, that is, whoever releases quickly has to compensate for people's losses, and people are unwilling.

Song Huan once asked Uncle Xu for advice, "What's the harm of slowing down, as for seeing it so important?" ”

Lao Xu explained, "Businessmen are the most superstitious, and they are afraid of 'drums' when they come out to do business every day. ”

Jianghu people, if they meet each other, when they give face-to-face, they don't earn money, but they are made trouble, and businessmen are the most afraid of this kind of thing.

The people of the rivers and lakes ridiculed and shouted out the drum for this kind of thing! (It is also said that the drum is a little bit, except for the horn adjustment)

That is, it means to be angry.

Lao Xu said again, "If a businessman doesn't go out to do business, someone rushes at him, and when he goes out to do business, he either goes out to do business, or he meets the horn." ”

"So because of this relationship, businessmen are most afraid of someone slowing down, which is the same as the pedestrians in Liyuan who avoid outsiders beating gongs and drums before the play starts."

According to Song Huan's understanding, he feels that this is a pure probability event.

But she didn't dare to say anything more about this kind of mysterious thing.

After all, there are many things that cannot be explained by science.

Ah Di and Yan Liu don't say anything else, as long as they remember that they are not allowed to say the eight big things before noon tomorrow, everything will be fine.

Song Huan didn't want to lose a lot of money because of a few words.

Song Huan and the others were about to go upstairs, and there was a guest outside the door who came to find the gentleman who sold medicine.

The man greeted the guest and took him upstairs to Mr. Pill's room.

Ah Di blinked curiously.

It turns out that it's not just the people in the rivers and lakes who know where the business is?

Of course not.

Individual layman guests may be repeat customers, and they will be told to come to this inn to find someone, and the guests will not know that this is the inn where Jianghu people have a fixed stay.

As I said before, the shopkeeper and the guy at the bottom of the business must be people who know the jargon.

It's not just a matter of communication, but they also know the rules.

Like now.

For example, if there are customers who sell medicine in the store, and the person who comes to buy the medicine comes to the store and looks for the gentleman who sells the medicine, if the gentleman is in the store, the man is not allowed to say that he is not in the store.

After running a transaction, the business has to admit its mistake and compensate the customer's losses.

As for the guys in the store, they need to bring the people who buy the medicine to the house of the gentleman who sells the medicine, and if they bring it to the place, they have to leave the house quickly and can't talk much.

If there is a wrong sentence, and the person who buys the medicine wakes up and does not want to be fooled, and does not buy the medicine, can the gentleman who sells the medicine agree?

Therefore, the rules and regulations of the people at the bottom of the business are very different from those of ordinary inns.

Of course, compared to the guys in the ordinary inn, the guys in the business will have a special benefit.

That is, there is tea in the guest house, they can drink it as they please, and they can eat whatever they want.

If the businessman makes a big deal, or "turns around (and makes a big profit)", the man can still get some oil and water, and get a reward.

Why not?
