Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2478 The eldest grandmother and the second grandmother started fighting!
"Oh no! The eldest grandmother and the second grandmother are fighting."

Just when Wei Baoqing was about to go into Old Man Shi’s warehouse with Duanwu to take a look, a young man in black shorts ran in in a panic, shouting loudly: The eldest grandmother and the second grandmother are fighting.

Wei Baoqing panicked when he heard this, and quickly said to Duanwu: "Brother, you stay here and watch. I will go back and take a look."

Having said that, Wei Baoqing took his men and left.

He was not afraid that Duanwu would cheat him, because the old man Shi lived in the village. As long as he had the old man Shi under his control, if Duanwu wanted to cheat him, he could destroy him in seconds.

At this time, only Duanwu and Old Man Shi were left.

Old Man Shi was in front and Duanwu followed behind.

Old man Shi took out the key and opened the warehouse, only to see shelves full of firecrackers and fireworks.

Although these fireworks may seem like a lot, they are too few for the Dragon Boat Festival. Moreover, the explosive power of fireworks and firecrackers is low to begin with, so if there are fewer of them, they will be useless.

Of course, Duanwu couldn't tell everything to Old Man Shi. After all, he didn't know who Old Man Shi was. If he reported it to Wei Baoqing, and Wei Baoqing reported it to the Japanese, his ambush plan would be ruined.

So Duanwu said, "Grandpa, you still don't have enough fireworks. How many can you have? And these firecrackers don't look big, and they're not loud enough. The old men in this city like to set off firecrackers in the East City the most, and you can hear them in the West City."

Old Man Shi smacked his lips and said, "That's a bit dangerous."

Duanwu said relentlessly: "Dangerous? Wouldn't it be better if you make the trigger longer? Just tell me if it's dangerous or not, I want all of them."

Old Man Shi hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much can you offer?"

Duanwu took out two small yellow croakers from his clothes pocket, showed them to Old Man Shi, and then put them back.

Old Man Shi's eyes lit up obviously, because since he brought two gold bars to stock up, he must be a big customer.

But he still tried to ask: "I see that you are a real man, you didn't buy the fireworks for the Japanese, did you?"

Because it's obvious that if the devil wants to buy something, why does he need to bring money? If he can give you a few melons and dates, that's good enough.

It’s not like the Japanese had not sent people here before, and they were just robbing us openly.

But at this time, Duanwu came with money, which showed that he was a merchant from outside the area. Wei Baoqing then said that he was sent by the Japanese to cheat him out of fireworks and firecrackers.

Duanwu smiled and said, "Old man, you really have a good eye. But you can't ask for too much, I still have to take care of Wei Guoqing! But don't worry, I will definitely not let you lose money."

Old Man Shi thought for a moment and said, "While Wei Guoqing is still here, give me both of your gold bars and I'll take you to see some good stuff."

Duanwu smiled and made a gesture of invitation, as if he would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

Old Man Shi had no choice but to take Duanwu to another warehouse.

In this warehouse, both fireworks and firecrackers are more than twice as big.

But at this time, Lao Shitou was about to introduce it, but Duanwu saw dozens of wooden boxes leaning inside and walked over.

When Duanwu opened it, he saw rolls of explosives.

Duanwu smiled slightly, but at this moment, Old Stone came over and said, "You can't sell this. These are explosives. They can kill people."

Duanwu turned around and asked Lao Shitou, "You just said that you would sell me the two gold bars and the contents of the two warehouses. You won't break your promise, will you?"

As he spoke, Duanwu took out the two gold bars and shook them in front of Lao Shitou.

Old Stone didn't feel like he was at a loss, but said in embarrassment: "This thing really can't be used as a firecracker, it will kill people."

Duanwu lowered his voice and said: "I have a friend who runs a mine. Let him try your explosives. If they work well, I will come to buy from you again. This is a long-term statement. Grandpa, the money you earn in a year is enough for you to live on in your old age, isn't it?" Lao Shitou rolled his eyes and nodded heavily.

But at this time, Duanwu slapped the gold bar into Lao Shi's hand and said, "We must not let Wei Guoqing know about this, otherwise he will ask for more from me, and I will have to give you less."

"understand!"

Lao Shitou took the gold bar and put it in his arms. In this troubled time, who would find this money too hard to handle?

But at this time, Duanwu reminded: "Wei Guoqing will definitely eat both sides, you old man should be prepared!"

After Duanwu’s reminder, Lao Shitou finally reacted.

As he walked out, he said, "Whenever you need it, I'll find a few cars to deliver it to you tomorrow."

Duanwu said: "No, I want it today. You go find a car for me and I will follow it."

"So urgent?"

Old Man Shi was in a dilemma, because so many fireworks and firecrackers would require a lot of cars. Where could he find them in such a short time?

But this is a big deal for two gold bars. So after thinking about it, Old Man Shi agreed.

He went back to his room first, and came out a short while later with more than twenty dollars in his hand.

This is considered a huge fortune in these troubled times.

Lao Shitou and Duanwu lowered their voices and said, "Here are twenty-six dollars. You will quote this amount when the time comes. Do you understand?"

Duanwu nodded. If he still didn’t understand this, it would be over. He, Duanwu, would not need to command the war.

However, at this time, Wei Guoqing came back cursing, "These two bitches never let me rest for a day. When I have money, I will marry a third wife and let them beat me up."

As they were talking, Wei Baoqing had already entered Old Man Shi's yard. Seeing that Old Man Shi was about to leave, he asked, "Old Shitou, what's up? Did you reach an agreement?"

Old Stone quickly replied: "With your Captain Wei's order, what else is there to discuss? This brother has said what he wants. The money has been paid, and I am just about to find a few cars to deliver it to him, right?"

Wei Baoqing glanced at Old Man Shi, waved his hand, and Old Man Shi left.

However, at this time, Wei Baoqing approached Duanwu and asked, "How much did you give him?"

Duanwu said quickly: "This is all thanks to Captain Wei. I gave him twenty-six dollars. Hehe!"

When Duanwu mentioned this number, he spoke loudly on purpose, seemingly praising Wei Baoqing, but in fact he was telling Old Man Shi, I did as you said.

Old man Shi, who was eavesdropping outside the yard, smiled and left.

At this time, Duanwu said, "Captain Wei, don't worry. I will definitely send you your share after this batch of goods is sold. But you still have to let these fireworks leave the village?"

Wei Baoqing laughed and said, "This is natural, natural."

As he spoke, Wei Baoqing put his hand on Duanwu's shoulder and said, "Brother, if the sales are good, should I urge that old man Shi to make more fireworks?"

Duanwu said seriously: "Of course, let's not talk about those far away, just take Songyuancheng as an example, how many big families are there, think about it?"

At this point, Duanwu deliberately lowered his voice and said: "However, I think the fireworks and firecrackers of Old Man Shi are too childish. He has two warehouses, east and west. The warehouse on the west is full of top-quality fireworks and firecrackers. If you watch him make them, you have to do this.

You know, these rich people, when they set off firecrackers, they want to let people in the East City hear them, too. That’s why they are willing to spend money!”

As he said this, Duanwu also glanced at Wei Baoqing!
