Chapter 1621 Bandits
The sun in the east has just emerged, and Shen Long is standing at the entrance of Tonghe Dyeing Workshop. The guys have just removed the door panels and are ready to open. They are all familiar things, and their movements are sloppy, but they are not too flustered at all. .
Chen Shouting's parents died early, and he was begging for food. When he couldn't survive the winter, he pretended to faint at the door of shopkeeper Zhou of Tonghe Dyefang. He knew that shopkeeper Zhou wanted to make a living, just as he thought. Shopkeeper Zhou took him in and raised him as a adopted son. Chen Shouting also got to know Caiqin, the daughter of Shopkeeper Zhou. After so many years, the two had already hit it off.
Chen Shouting was quick-witted, and secretly learned the skills of Master Liu in the dyeing workshop, and persuaded shopkeeper Zhou to resign from him. The many original dyeing workshops in the village were gradually squeezed out, and those who hadn't collapsed also felt the crisis.
At this moment, a man wearing a filial robe came running towards this side on a mule. Shen Long took a step towards the middle of the street. The man slowed down when he saw Shen Long. Shen Long raised his hand and grabbed the rein, and asked People, "fourth brother, what's the matter?" The man came down, first smiled, "sixth brother, here comes the joke, my old boss is dead, this bastard, seventy-two, pretending to be twenty-seven, Just the day before yesterday, another girl was taken into the house. Think about it, that girl is only twenty-one, and she is at the age of 18. How can that old guy resist? Last night, she might have missed a move. , I got the wind immediately, and I'm going to die. Sixth brother, have you vented your anger this time?"
Shen Long said with a smile, "Master Liu is light-hearted at his age, practicing Tai Chi is so-so, and singing this is his mother's death! Hurry up and report the funeral. Come back and drink tea, fourth brother."
The fourth brother smiled and got on the mule, "I'm leaving, the old bastard is dead, maybe the control will not be so strict. If you don't answer, I have to ask you to kill two games." After that, he beat the mule and left. Shen Long paused his smile, turned around and said to Zhuzi, "Zhuzi, prepare fire paper, I'm going to pay tribute to the funeral."
Zhuzi wondered, "Sixth brother, when you were begging for food, he saw you once and kicked you once, why would you pay him a funeral? He also kicked me when I was begging. It's really not a thing."
Shen Long turned around and said, "Brother, it's time for us to kick him." Shen Long took the pillar to go to express his condolences. It was to vent his anger on Chen Liuzi, and he also made a fortune by supplying cloth to the family.
Then in a blink of an eye, the Qing Dynasty collapsed, and the people in Zhoucun also changed their appearance, with bald heads, split heads, and back hair. After the old people cut their braids, they let their hair scatter behind their heads and became half-haired. I shaved my head to my liking, which made me look extra energetic.
This day is the reopening day of Tonghe Dyeing Workshop. The Tonghe Dyeing Workshop of the Zhou family has taken on a completely new look. Pair: "Choose the color from the south to the north, and benefit the neighbors in the neighborhood." The green characters on the black background were written by shopkeeper Zhou. After years of training, the writing is quite good. Today is the first day of opening, people come and go, and business is booming. Shopkeeper Zhou stands by the door, bowing to everyone, smiling and elated. Shopkeeper Zhou has a smooth complexion, wearing a silk-lined mandarin jacket on his upper body, and long slits on his lower body The cross-horse skirt" and the leather-soled pointed shoes of the dress are full of vigor.
Shen Long stood in the middle of the store outside the counter to entertain business. He was wearing a Persian blue double-breasted muslin jacket and white-bottomed gangster "Kicking Dead Cow" cloth shoes. His short hair was "one cut" and his features were clean and neat. , people are very spiritual.
After the firecrackers, customers poured in one after another, Shen Long greeted them with a smile, and the shop assistants began to get busy; the folks across the street were full of envious discussions.
They talked about the prosperity of the Zhou family in the past few years, and attributed all the credit to Chen Liuzi. They said that it was Chen Liuzi who did a good job in Tonghe Dyefang today, and that the good deeds done by shopkeeper Zhou were well rewarded.
Some people also talked about Chen Liuzi's benevolence and righteousness. When the eighth uncle saw that Chen Liuzi was too cold, he let him stay at home to warm up for a night.
At the end of the year, the entire back elbow was given to him. This kind of behavior of repaying kindness was unanimously praised by everyone.
But in this peaceful environment, not everyone is unhappy. For example, the shopkeeper Wang of Dachang Dyefang next door to Tonghe Dyefang is very depressed. His colleagues are enemies. The better the business of Tonghe Dyefang, the worse the business of his Dachang Dyefang. Seeing that his family's business was about to be destroyed, shopkeeper Wang was very worried.
In desperation, shopkeeper Wang thought of a crooked trick, invited Shen Long to drink, and then wanted to buy Shen Long and ask him to raise the price of Tonghe Dyeing Workshop, so that his Dachang Dyeing Workshop could continue to have business. For this reason, he was willing to take Give 20% of the profits to Shen Long.
Naturally, Shen Long would not put such a small amount of money in his eyes, so he rejected Shopkeeper Wang without hesitation, and when he returned to Tonghe Dyefang, he told the matter to Shopkeeper Zhou's family.
Shopkeeper Wang saw that Shen Long couldn't be bought, so he had no choice but to follow his brother-in-law's plan, and planned to find some bandits to tie Shen Long up, scare him, and let him raise the price.
On this day, when Shen Long went out to collect the bills, he first went to Uncle Suozi. Uncle Suozi was Chen Liuzi's savior. He saved Chen Liuzi's life at the beginning. Chen Liuzi swore at that time that when he had money He just raised him for the rest of his life, and he did the same. He rented a house for Uncle Suozi, and asked the grain store to supply him with fine grains all the time.
The people around are envious of Uncle Suozi, saying that Liuzi Chen is more considerate to him than his own son; Liuzi Chen originally wanted to hire a maid to take care of him, but Uncle Suozi thinks Liuzi Chen is good enough for him And I'm not a big family, so I couldn't bear this blessing, so I didn't accept it.
Chatted with Uncle Suozi for a while, and asked when he would get married, Shen Long said with a smile, "Come on, just wait. At that time, I will let you and my aunt sit at the first big banquet, and you and I My niece and daughter-in-law came here to give you a big gift."
Tsk, this is getting married again, how many times is this my first time? In the past, there was still time to cultivate relationships, but this time, I just came here and got married, but Caiqin is also very good, so let’s get married when it’s time to get married.
On the way back, Shen Long passed a Tuyazi, and suddenly stopped in his tracks. Two people jumped down from above, one hit him on the head with a stick, and the other took a sack and waited for him to be knocked out before covering his head. . Meeting Shen Long, this time it was a failure, Shen Long looked at the two bandits with a smile, "Hehe, I said, what are you planning to do?"
There was a sound nearby, and more bandits emerged.
