Chapter 181: Let's Face the Wind
There is also massage in Lugang Town, but the craftsmanship is really average, and it is all given by men.
Zhao Chuanxin, who once swam on Hong Kong Island, thought that he was greeted with red sleeves and incense, which could not be described.
However, when I entered the door, there was a strong smell of Chinese herbs.
The old Chinese medicine doctor in the long shirt and coat greeted him with a figure-of-eight step: "Brother Chang has already informed a few people to loosen the bones, please inside." ”
Shouldn't it be the half-aged who still have the charm?
How is it a Chinese medicine practitioner with old trees and dead branches?
Zhao Chuanxin had only the last hope left, and led people to follow in.
The pearl curtain is closed, the mica screen is open, and there are rows of special beds for massage, and the massage is all male apprentices.
Zhao Chuanxin stopped: "That's it? ”
Li Zhitaowu behind him felt fresh: "It's good!" ”
"What a fart!"
Zhao Chuan's salary was ruined.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
He turned his head and asked the old Chinese medicine doctor, "Is there a private room?" Are there any female apprentices? ”
"Huh?" The old Chinese medicine doctor was stunned. "There is only one female doctor, and usually if a rich lady has a headache and brain fever, she will come. Do not give men loose bones. ”
Zhao Chuanxin has already begun to take off his coat: "Add money!" ”
"Not really."
"Add two silver dollars."
"This, it's inconvenient."
"Three!"
"Okay, I'll go and call her!"
Li Zhitao was stunned in the back: "Zhao Sheng, I think, the man's strength will be better." ”
Zhao Chuanxin patted him on the shoulder: "Taotao, I really didn't mistake you, so I just said this to you, I must have felt cool usually!" ”
Li Zhitao and the others were all outside, and Zhao Chuanxin entered the box by himself.
At this moment, the curtain was lifted.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at his feet first, and was relieved when he found that it was a normal big foot.
Look up, then look at the hairstyle.
Fortunately, there is no shaved hairline of the brain door, and the oblique bangs made on the forehead are combed back diagonally.
The third look at the figure, hey, this strong man...... This sturdy lady is in astonishing physique.
It seems that there is no need to look at the face anymore.
Zhao Chuanxin accepted his fate, hung his head and said, "What's the matter?" ”
The female strong man came to a set of golden needles to look at and smell and ask about the meal, explaining the life of the monarch and the ministers, revealing the mystery of the human body and heaven and earth.
Then he brought up the blended olive oil and the juice of Chinese herbs, and said in a rough voice: "Come, take off your clothes and lie down!" ”
And Zhao Chuanxin slowly returned his clothes.
The strong woman continued: "Pants too. ”
"This ......"
"Afraid of ugliness?"
"Don't be afraid, not afraid."
I'm afraid that few people have seen Zhao Chuanxin fall behind when he also fell behind.
Do so.
A strong hand, dipped in olive oil, rubbed hot, and walked on Zhao Chuanxin's back.
When she arrived at the cervical spine, the strong woman said, "Take off the chain around your neck." ”
Zhao Chuanxin refused: "This is not a good pick, I will take it in the coffin when I die." ”
“……”
Without that expectation, there is also a benefit.
The strength of the female strong man is amazing, the technique is skillful, and the acupuncture points are extremely accurate.
Zhao Chuanxin's muscles are hard, and the female strong man has a strong hand, which can be said to be a good talent when the opponent meets in chess.
After a while, Zhao Chuanxin was drowsy.
The strong woman muttered: "The body is so clean, just like a girl with fine skin and tender flesh!" Do you want to take care of it with assorted flower juice? That's the recipe Yang Guifei used. ”
Zhao Chuanxin was already on the verge of falling asleep, and snorted with his nose in a daze.
Heroine: "Remember to add money!" ”
This sleep is very sound!
When Zhao Chuanxin opened his eyes, it was already the second day.
He struggled to get up from the bed, moving his body, oops, this technique of a strong woman, a bargain!
What's going on with a floral scent on your body?
Dressed neatly and went out, when I passed by the hall, I didn't see Li Zhitao and others.
Zhao Chuanxin shook his head, this group of grandsons, left him and ran away.
The old Chinese medicine doctor was tossing and turning in the hall, practicing health gymnastics such as the Five Bird Opera.
Seeing Zhao Chuanxin, he nodded with a smile.
The three oceans promised yesterday will naturally be offered.
But the old Chinese medicine doctor looked at the money on the counter and shook his head: "There is money for assorted flower juice!" ”
Zhao Chuanxin was full of question marks.
The old Chinese medicine doctor snorted and said disdainfully: "Don't believe you smell it, the man likes to rub the flower juice, and the world is going down!" ”
This makes Zhao Chuanxin quite unhappy, why do you steal my lines?
When I went out, I found that the door was leaning against the wall, his head was little by little, and his consciousness remained in a state of dissociation.
Kicking Li Zhitao, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Eh, eh, wake up, you slept here last night?" ”
Li Zhitao opened his eyes in a daze and got up.
"They don't let them stay overnight."
Don't let the overnight stayers sleep outside?
It's really a bunch of fools, what kind of mess are they.
Everyone else is awake, and the toad is still snoring.
Li Zhitao grabbed his collar and shook violently, and the toad boy woke up.
"Where am I?"
Sleep in a daze.
Zhao Chuanxin couldn't cry or laugh.
"Where can I wash, let's wash our faces, brush our teeth."
"There are free water pipes outside the ghost concession."
While walking, Zhao Chuanxin distributed toothbrushes to everyone.
Toad Boy finally couldn't help it: "Zhao Sheng, where do you usually put your things?" ”
Zhao Chuanxin pointed at the sky secretly: "Heavenly Court, do you know?" ”
"Know, know!" Toad nodded hurriedly: "Where the Jade Emperor lives." ”
The guide is superstitious about which one is strong, and Hong Kong Island dares to jump and shout the first place.
Even in the 21st century, when science is flourishing, it is true.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and when I looked at Zhao Chuanxin again, there was a little awe in my eyes.
Li Zhitao hesitated and asked, "Then, Zhao Sheng is a mage?" ”
"Well, someone called me that.
Okay, don't talk about these things, brush your teeth and wash your face.
Blowing water foal, you take this money to buy breakfast, let's eat here. ”
Blowing water horse took water under the faucet and rinsed his mouth, spit it out and said, "I won't even finish flushing!" ”
Zhao Chuanxin urged: "Whether you wash it or not has little effect on your appearance."
Go and go, I'm hungry. ”
Blowing water horse on the ground, shook his head left and right, and said aggrievedly: "I think I'm so good-looking!" ”
"Three-year-old beard, look at your little old look! Do you dare to boast of your beauty with a full face of folds? ”
Blowing water foal: "......"
After the water horse left, Li Zhitao asked, "Zhao Sheng, what are we going to do next?" ”
Do what?
Originally, Zhao Chuanxin turned around and secretly supervised the charity association, and he was going back to the mainland without any problems.
Looking at the hard-working brothers, he said in his heart that he didn't have to produce, and it was not a matter to always rely on speculation and "withdrawals".
The traditional Chinese social structure is Shinong industry and commerce. On the people's deeds, respect the scholars.
However, it is different on Hong Kong Island, since the opening of the port, it has mainly been engaged in re-export trade.
The Chinese are basically doing hard work, and most of them are at the bottom.
Thinking about it this way, Zhao Chuanxin even had the urge to shake people to drive the British away.
Just think about it, of course.
"Taotao, how many brothers do you have?"
Li Zhitao gave up resistance, and let Zhao Chuanxin call him.
He looked back at the toad boys, "It's just four." ”
"Rub, what kind of Zhongshengtang are you, and there are only five people in your relationship?"
Li Zhitao's face turned red: "Zhao Sheng doesn't look down on people, I have a big pot of peaches, and sooner or later I will have to make a fortune!" ”
"Good, good." Zhao Chuanxin pouted: "What a good person, but it's a pity that he has a long mouth, and he loves to brag!" ”
Li Zhitao: "......"
"What if I want to build a house on Hong Kong Island?"
"Buy land, buy land from ghosts!"
In 1841, Charlie Yilu, the ambassador to China, presided over a land sale in Macao, which resulted in a total of £3,272.
By 1888, the income from land sales accounted for one-third of the total finance.
The money came too fast.
This gave the British a taste of sweetness, and they continued to develop the real estate economy in the later period, until the motherland took back Hong Kong Island, and they swept away a lot of money by selling land.
Zhao Chuanxin was very unhappy.
What is the grass, but let the foreign devils sell their own land?
"Taotao, what do you think is the most profitable?"
"Be an intermediary and introduce people from the mainland to make coo."
To make a gel is to do coolies.
That is the legendary "piglet", which not only transports Chinese pigs to Hong Kong Island, but also to the world for labor export.
But the end is often miserable.
Zhao Chuanxin frowned: "Bad idea!"
Anything else? ”
"Open a restaurant, a bone field."
Zhao Chuanxin smiled angrily.
Now learn and sell now?
"Can you get bigger?"
Li Zhitao scratched his head: "Build a power plant? Buying a ship for transportation? ”
"It's kind of interesting."
At this time, the blowing water pony returned.
He came back with a food box.
Glutinous rice chicken, seafood porridge, rice noodles, rice noodles......
Blowing water horse said happily: "After eating, you have to return the food box, and there is a deposit." ”
"Drop your hair, what are you doing with all that effort." Zhao Chuanxin disagreed. "Hurry up and eat, take me around when you're done."
At this time, the low-level Chinese were really miserable, the upper-class businessmen were all British, and it would be good for the Chinese people to mix food and clothing in the cracks.
Many people only have 1 square meter of accommodation.
How narrow is a small alley?
Zhao Chuanxin saw that a bamboo pole stretched out along the window, and it could be put on the opposite window to dry clothes.
Like Li Zhitao, they are even more miserable, looking at five people and six people, they don't even have a 1 square meter place, they usually sleep on the streets, or find a houseboat to squeeze.
And Oguchi Chang, at least he can go down to the restaurant to eat.
Now there is not even a concept of real estate in later generations, such as building a building, and no one thinks of selling it in strata so that each family has its own property rights.
If you want to sell, you will sell a piece of land, build a building, no matter how many floors, the property rights will be owned by one person.
And the owner basically won't think about selling it in layers.
This is probably a cognitive gap.
Until the first person eats crabs.
Later, a businessman surnamed Huo copied this routine of selling in layers, and for the first time used installment payments, so that people who could not buy a house in full could live in the house for the time being.
What the two men did had a profound impact on the real estate industry later.
Zhao Chuanxin is gearing up, even if he is unwilling to drink the blood of real estate, but buying land does not have to build a house to speculate on the price, and there is a lot to be done in other aspects.
But for buying land on Hong Kong Island from Hong Kong Ying, this has always been a hurdle in Zhao Chuanxin's heart, which makes him angry.
If he obediently handed over the money, he would not want to do it anyway.
What to do?
When he arrived west of Pedder Street, Zhao Chuanxin found the answer.
Jardine's & Co., Hunter & Co., Lane Castle & Co., Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC Headquarters.
Some buildings were damaged by the typhoon, some are still there, and the harbor still has a few broken sampans of ships.
Where did Hong Kong Ying put the money? Self-explanatory!
After Li Zhitao found out that Zhao Chuanxin came here, he looked at the rows of western-style buildings, and let out a terrible "hehehe" smile from his mouth.
"Zhao Sheng, are you wrong?"
Zhao Chuanxin wiped his saliva: "It's nothing, it's just greedy." ”
If you don't want to spend money and don't want to make a big move, then your left hand will be right handed.
"It's not noon, and you're hungry?"
"Huh." Zhao Chuanxin didn't explain, stood on the coastline and opened his arms: "Let Hong Kong Ying face the wind!" ”
As a result, Li Zhitao and Toad Boy were puzzled and looked at him stupidly.
"Rub, a bunch of pig heads!"
Zhao Chuanxin was stupid.
The toad asked: "Zhao Sheng, blowing water is blowing water, and we still have to ask for money." ”
Li Zhitao heard it: "Yes, it's important to make money, it's more urgent than dreaming." ”
They felt that Zhao Chuanxin was wishful thinking.
What to build power plants and do transportation, that is what the rich and the superior do. At present, it is all controlled by the ghosts.
It's good to brag, but let's face it.
In their minds, if Zhao Chuanxin is really rich, why did he smuggle him to Hong Kong Island, and why did he sleep on the street with them and eat rice rolls on the side of the road?
"Taotao, I'll give you money, how many people do you think your Zhongshengtang can pull?"
"What do I have to pay for?" Li Zhitao's eyes lit up: "You can win over at least ten people!" ”
I don't know what garbage is under my feet, Zhao Chuanxin almost tripped up.
"What's the use of pulling ten people?"
"Well, I want to save face!"
Zhao Chuanxin didn't reason with the fool: "Let's go, let's go to the Lugang Town Charity Association." ”
But Li Zhitao hurriedly shook his head: "Even Dakouchang shocked them, don't mess with them!" ”
"It's okay, as long as I'm here, no one dares not to give you face."
At this time, the Lugang Town Charity Association was distributing number plates made of bamboo.
The victims who received the license were given three meals during the day according to the instructions.
This temporary office space was directly purchased by the wealthy Lugang Town Charity Association.
At this time, there was a long queue outside.
A local staff member was looking down to sort the number plates, and suddenly a shadow covered him.
When I looked up, I saw that it was an unusually tall young man.
The person behind him doesn't look like a good stubble.
So he said vigilantly: "What are you doing? Make a grunt to go to the queue, you can't cut the line. ”
Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "Don't do grunt, look for you Ms. Liu Jiahui." ”
And Li Zhitao, they were terrified in the back.
"Miss Liu? You wait! ”
With that, he turned and went to the back office.
Liu Jiahui and Gao Li came out.
Li Zhitao saw Gao Li's gaze!
The weather on Hong Kong Island is hot, and even as November is about to begin, it is not cold.
Goryeo wears a blue-gray shirt with an open neckline that reveals a corner of the armor.
There were sweat stains from the heat on his shirt, but he didn't notice it.
Two pistols and a bayonet on his waist.
Carrying a Winchester M1897 in his hand.
The back of the hand is bruised!
Under a single eyelid, the gaze is cold.
Li Zhitao felt that the most powerful red stick under Dakouchang's hand was simply weak compared to this person.
He believed that if he and the others made a slight move, they would definitely be killed on the spot!
Unexpectedly, Liu Jiahui saw Zhao Chuanxin, and her face showed surprise: "Captain Zhao, you are finally willing to come back." ”
The corners of Gao Li's mouth, which has never been smiling, also pulled.
"Well done!"
Zhao Chuanxin stepped forward without any scruples and patted Liu Jiahui on the shoulder.
Not only Li Zhitao was stunned, but even those locally recruited staff widened their eyes.
Liu Jiahui, who is regarded as a goddess, but this person patted her on the shoulder?
