mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 47 Boss Chen, We Are Poor
Cheng Ming: "Hmph, I can do it myself."

Zhao Chuanxin: "Hehe, reflect a lot!"

The two parted unhappily.

Gao Li watched Cheng Ming and his party go away, and asked, "What is this official doing here?"

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't see any anger on his face: "It's probably for the county magistrate who made a small report, and see if he can win me over by the way."

"Then, have you been wooed?"

"Nonsense, even if he asks for money, he won't give it. If you don't give money, if you want to fight with him and patriotize with him, then you go."

"..."

It is impossible to love Da Qing with fist fist, even in this life.

Zhao Chuanxin continued to go back to draw the draft, and sent it to Zhao Zhongyi when he was finished.

He, Zhao Zhongyi, and Gao Li discussed the next training direction.

Zhao Chuanxin touched the rifle and said: "Next, we need to be prepared. We may not only face the gangsters. It may also be the government of the Qing court, the Tsarist Russian army, and Japan, the biggest enemy in the future.

At the beginning of next year, there will be a big war between Japan and Russia, which will start in Liao.Don't ask me how I know, I can figure it out.

Japan is probably on the winning side.In the future, the black land will be gradually eaten away and occupied.

Our shortcomings are obvious. We only know how to shoot, but we can't shoot accurately.I can't teach them because I don't know much about shooting either. "

Everyone looked at him with strange eyes.

Well, I pretended to be big before.

Zhao Chuanxin used the tried and tested Dafa: "I can spell, but you can't.

So, let's focus on training melee ability next. "

Zhao Chuanxin explained contact shooting techniques to them, such as getting too close, holding a gun with his right hand, and getting ready to punch with his left hand.

How to effectively hit the opponent with a weapon in one hand and the other hand, Zhao Zhongyi is good at it, let him talk about it.

The next step is Z-scanning, how to scan the surrounding environment safely and effectively to check the battlefield situation while reducing the chance of being shot.

For those equipped with pistols, Zhao Chuanxin explained how to shoot with center axis lock and how to fire a single-action revolver quickly.

It can be regarded as further strengthening the fighting consciousness.

All in all, in addition to the accuracy rate, Zhao Chuanxin gave the best fighting method with the current weapon conditions.

Gao Li listened most carefully.

He has a deep understanding that these things are really useful on the battlefield.

After finishing speaking, he didn't go home, and went to Li Laosan's house slowly with his hands behind his back.

"Third brother, I heard that your family has Codonopsis ginseng, ginseng, gastrodia elata, angelica? Sell me some, I want to stew old hen soup."

Li Laosan knew that this kid was generous, so he happily took out the dried herbs: "Okay, are these enough? It's just that the ginseng is a bit small, and I sold the big ones in the city."

"Yes, as long as you have it, wild ginseng is good."

"That's right, what about the ginseng grown at home?"

Zhao Chuanxin took the medicinal materials, gave the money and gave an extra "tip".His hands are scattered, and he usually gives copper coins casually, regardless of whether it is a child or an adult.

In Lugangling Village, no one dislikes this money-spreading boy.

Carrying the medicinal materials, humming a little song and walking home.

"I love you walking in a dark alley alone, I love your cheap appearance..."

A small-footed woman passed by tremblingly: "Then, you want a wife, why don't you just talk about it in the middle of the day?"

"Haha." Zhao Chuanxin said haha: "I don't want to, I'm still young, don't tell me these..."

After returning home, wash the medicinal materials, add water to the pot, and then put them into the earthen pot. Put the chicken and medicinal materials in the earthen pot, cover the lid and steam vigorously.

There is no seasoning, but when it comes out of the pan, it tastes old.

It is not the aroma of thick oily red sauce, but the aroma of meat mixed with medicinal materials, mellow.

"Come on, dry rice, I'll give you a bowl to strengthen your immunity."

I remember that my mother steamed old hen soup for herself every winter. It is really not easy to catch a cold after drinking it.

After taking two sips of dry rice: "Wow, woof..."

"Don't make trouble, this is for soup, add water twice, and eat meat at the end, be good."

Snowflakes began to fall outside the window again.

Zhao Chuanxin took out his diary...

[The weirdo thinks he can get on well with me, even though I don't know how to invent. 】

[We talked a lot, and the weirdo mentioned one thing: Stranger, I have a friend who is also a great inventor.When I speak of you to him, I call you the energetic explorer.My friend was very interested, because he has been distressed lately, he lacks a material, and needs the services of a good explorer. 】

[Do I agree to meet the strange man's friend? 】

Of course Zhao Chuanxin chose to meet him.

[The weirdo's friend turned out to be a goblin. 】

[Goblins have the same lifespan as forest elves, and they are also short. 】

[The goblin told me that he needs the Stone of Paradise in the Blood Wasteland. 】

[The goblin said: Stranger, although I have a lifespan as long as a forest elf, I am already in my twilight years.I want to live another few hundred years.If you can find the Stone of Heaven and fill in the last vacancy in my life-span potion, then I will reward you with 10 years of life! 】

This is currently the biggest life-span rewarding task that Zhao Chuanxin has encountered. With an extra ten years, he is one step closer to reaching the 21st century.

He chose to accept the task.

[I prepared a lot of supplies, put them into pocket technology, and headed towards the bloody wasteland of North Korea. 】

【Along the way, I saw all kinds of people and scenery. 】

[Even I feel that I am a born adventurer. 】

[After walking for a whole day, I was exhausted and physically exhausted, so I had to rest. 】

Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart that the map is far enough this time.

Just close the diary.

The next day, Liu Guigui came.

"Pass the salary, what is there, what is it? Yes, a customer has come to the door."

The word customer was taught by Zhao Chuanxin.

"buying clothes?"

"Yes, a coat is required at roll call."

Now the insurance team in Lugangling Village is very famous. Zhao Chuanxin asked them to go out for a walk every day. They were dressed in neat clothes, sturdy, and well-equipped with weapons. They had a great visual impact.

Liu Guigui continued: "It's at the entrance of the village. Some want to buy overcoats, and some want to buy our woolen hats."

People in the Qing Dynasty liked to wear hats very much.

If you don't wear a hat, many people will also wear a headscarf.

Zhao Chuanxin stood up: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go, take someone to my brother's house to pick clothes."

Those who came were a few merchants who often went out to buy goods.

Zhao Chuanxin bowed his hands to several people with a smile on his face: "You are very welcome."

Then, while leading the way, he introduced: "Our clothes are well-made, and the needles and threads are sewn with the latest technology. Every process must be strictly checked, and unqualified ones will be dismantled and remade immediately. The elimination rate is as high as [-]%. You Look at my suit, you can't see a thread, the lines are well-proportioned and straight..."

Liu Guigui listened carefully to Zhao Chuanxin's bragging. This is what he needs to learn.

Because Zhao Chuanxin said that in the future, this area will be under his management, and he will be given a share at that time.

Liu Baogui said in his heart, this is too ridiculous.What is the latest technology, and what elimination rate is as high as [-]%.

Maybe those needleworks are innovative, but for women who are proficient in needlework, they are also easy to understand and not so mysterious.And the elimination rate as high as [-]% is even more nonsense.Take Zhao Zhongyi's mother-in-law as an example. She always checks carefully when she is working.When the clothes are finished, it is the finished product.

The elimination rate is basically zero.

But as soon as it came out of Zhao Chuanxin's mouth, it made people feel that after the ready-made clothes came out, eight out of ten pieces would have to be reworked.

This is ability.

In one side of Zhao Zhongyi's house, everything was evacuated at this time.

The wooden hangers made by Zhao Chuanxin are placed in several rows in the house, and there are also wooden clothes hangers, which hang the clothes neatly, which is pleasing to the eye.

Seeing this, several businessmen looked at each other.

One person stepped forward to touch the material, looked at the stitches, nodded, turned to Zhao Chuanxin and said, "Captain Zhao, your reputation is so powerful that everyone in the city knows it."

Zhao Chuanxin made a haha: "Fame and fortune are like floating clouds with me, low-key and low-key!"

The merchant continued to speak: "My lord, Chen Daguang, I have some small business at home. This time, there are two main things. In the past few days, I saw people from your insurance team patrolling the city, well-dressed, and everyone admired them. It's a lot of thought. This new style of clothes must be able to bring about a trend, and I want to buy some for sale.

Secondly, I came to look for Captain Zhao because of the turmoil in the current situation. Those of us who do small businesses often go out and walk around, and we don’t have as many people as the big caravans like the Niu family.If you encounter a scorpion, even a small scorpion, you will lose everything on this trip.Therefore, the few of us want to discuss with Captain Zhao, can we hire an insurance team to escort us to Shengjing to buy new year's goods? "

Huh?
This was something Zhao Chuanxin did not expect.

He bowed his head and pondered.

In fact, there are not many members of the insurance team. We have added people several times before and after, and now there are only 13 people.

Lugangling Village is now a big tree attracting the wind, and it also needs manual protection.

If the insurance team is divided into two, the strength will definitely be weakened.

However, these wolf cubs also need to release their energy, otherwise they won't be able to see the money if they don't practice and fight every day, and maybe some kind of moth will be born.

After thinking about it, Zhao Chuanxin said: "The clothes are easy to talk about. As for the insurance team, the bosses probably don't know much about it yet."

As he said that, he recounted the number of the insurance team's record and the number of enemies wiped out.

Then he said: "I can separate out eight people to run with you."

Chen Daguang was suspicious: "Eight people? Is it less? If you meet a group of 30 people..."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "Boss Chen, the last time we wiped out Xiao Jinzier in Xiaolongzhao Mountain, we relied on eight people, but only three people were used to kill them, and the rest complained to me that there was no chance to make a move."

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Daguang sighed: "Except for the Lugangling Village Insurance Team, there may be no more secure manpower. Then this matter will be finalized. We will pay five silver dollars per person for food and accommodation. If If you really meet a scorpion, you will be killed or injured, and there will be a pension, not less than your salary."

In Zhao Chuanxin's opinion, it's really not much.But for ordinary people, five silver dollars is really a lot, even if they live frugally in the village for a year.

He nodded: "OK, let's talk about clothes then."

Chen Daguang has a ready-made clothing store, and this time he wants to buy in.

Zhao Chuanxin was more thoughtful, and now he is using old foreign cloth that was backlogged decades ago, and the price is cheap.However, if there are no such cheap raw materials in the future, there may be no profit at the same price, so he raised the profit margin very high in addition to the cost and wages.

But those who can do business are not fools.

Chen Daguang said with a smile: "Captain Zhao, this is not kind. As far as Chen knows, the fabrics you bought were bought from Niu's shop. They are all old materials that have been accumulated over the years, and the price is very low."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately called out to Tianqu: "Boss Chen, we are poor, we are poor in the countryside, you see, although this material is just as you said, but the workmanship is exquisite, the fabric is well cut, and it needs to be finished." Sew rough embryos first to shape, and then finely sew, which is very different from traditional needlework. After sewing, in order to ensure quality and quantity, if it is found to be unqualified, it must be reworked. The [-]% elimination rate is really not covered..."

Boss Chen was dumbfounded.

When you talk about business, you talk about business. What do you mean when you cry poorly and act like a rascal?
Chen Daguang was also unwilling to give in: "I have to give in again, the price is too high, I'm afraid I will lose my profit."

Zhao Chuanxin said again: "Boss Chen, you know that our insurance team wanders around the city every day. In the future, if someone asks about clothes, we will say that they are from Boss Chen's shop and advertise for you for free, but the profit It really can't be lowered."

"This..." Chen Daguang said in his heart that it can still be like this: "That's not okay, after all, the effect is limited."

Zhao Chuanxin said again: "Otherwise, the insurance team is now a star. Do stars understand, Boss Chen? It's a role model. Everyone looks at it, loves to watch it, and loves to discuss their affairs. This is a live advertisement. Besides, I Make another promise, our insurance team, when strolling in the city, hang a piece of cloth on the horse with the name of your shop written on it, so that everyone will know your shop.”

The eyes of Liu Guigui and Zhao Zhongyi who were listening nearby were straightened.

Where have they seen this.

Literal and verbal, you come and go, parry and counterattack...

This time, Chen Daguang narrowed his eyes.

What Zhao Chuanxin said is indeed reasonable.

In this era of lack of entertainment, something is worth talking about and talking about endlessly.

Maybe it really works?
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then, give me another [-]% profit, and the matter will be settled."

Zhao Chuanxin: "Deal!"

Earn a fortune, okay?
The little old man Chen Daguang suddenly said maliciously: "Captain Zhao, but I have one more request."

Zhao Chuanxin replied without thinking: "Hey, why do you ask so much?"

Chen Daguang was choked and almost committed a cerebral infarction.

He said: "When the insurance team is walking around the city with those advertisements, I want Captain Zhao to follow them twice. Mr. Chen saw that Captain Zhao is wearing this outfit, and the effect is better than theirs!"

　In the code words, there are many votes, oh yeah...
