Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 43 Red Hairband

He smiled and touched their bodies, comparing the body shapes of the young lady from the Zhou family and Qin Huairu.

The young lady from the Zhou family is older and taller than the young lady from the Lin family.

Qin Huairu is a little taller than Chen Xueru, and has a slightly higher figure and a slightly higher butt.

After gesturing the body shape of Qin Huairu's mother, Zhang Kaiwu found that Chen Xueru asked a few questions and then recorded them down with confidence.

Make sure it won't delay his work.

...............

Zhang Kaiwu had already stood up, and the two men didn't dare to say anything more and quickly sent him to the door.

He looked at the house number, No. 123, Zhima Hutong, Daqianmen, and memorized it.

The small courtyards nearby are all similar, so you won’t make a fool of yourself by not being able to find them when you come back later.

…………

Zhang Kaiwu slowly walked out of the alley. He had memorized the route when he came here just this morning.

It is just two turns left from Daqianmen.

Very simple.

…………

Watched Zhang Kaiwu leave.

Lin Xiaoniang closed the door.

Chen Xueru glared at Lin Xiaoniang, and Lin Xiaoniang stared at Chen Xueru.

Lin Xiaoniang said guiltily: "Why are you staring at me? Wasn't this all your idea?"

Chen Xueru said angrily: "Do you agree? You always say that you have rich life experience, how come you don't see that this is not good!?"

"What were you talking about just now? Was that what I said?"

"If Brother Kaiwu gets angry and runs away, I'll send you to the Eight Great Hutongs!"

…………

Lin Xiaoniang: “…………”

After thinking for a while, she said, "What are you sending me? You've already sent me out to the master. You're not qualified to send me any more now!"

Chen Xueru smiled sinisterly and said with a grin, "You are so good, little girl Lin. It turns out that you have been thinking about rebellion for a long time."

"Is it true that I can't send you in? I'll ask Brother Kaiwu to send you in and see if I can!"

Lin Xiaoniang: “…………”

"I fought with you to death, and you wanted to send me to the Eight Great Hutongs!"

She pounced on her with her teeth bared, ready to kill her...

...............

The two of them fooled around for a while, then sat down in silence and sighed.

Both of them knew that Zhang Kaiwu was not someone they could control.

Things just went awry...

He offended Zhang Kaiwu by speaking.

...............

Zhang Kaiwu was walking on the street and found a cigarette shop.

There was a Marlboro cigarette logo hanging on the door, and he went in.

The shopkeeper greeted him warmly, "Sir, would you like a cigarette?"

What?
He looked up at the shopkeeper and it didn't seem like he was going to treat him to a cigarette.

It turns out that this cigarette can be sold by the stick?
I'm dressed so nicely, am I the kind of person who would buy a cigarette?!
Zhang Kaiwu looked at the counter curiously. It was also made of wood.

This cigarette vendor has an extra glass panel compared to other stores, so you can see the cigarettes inside.

He pointed at the Hardman cigarettes and asked, "How much is a pack of Hardman?!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The dollar is ten cents, or thirty copper coins."

Speechless!

The ocean has also depreciated...

Zhang Kaiwu asked curiously: "What if I buy a Hardman cigarette?"

The shopkeeper said, "A pack of Hardman cigarettes is two copper coins."

Thirty big copper coins in a pack. Apparently he added a price markup after breaking it down into smaller pieces?

I saw metal kerosene lighters in his shop, made of tin.

There is a small cotton thread and a huge friction wheel on it.

So ugly!

Zhang Kaiwu asked curiously, "How much is this iron lighter?"

The shopkeeper said, "This match machine costs fifty cents."

The word with hair is called Dayang? Oh my god!

A small tin lighter!

Fifty cents! ?

You're really expensive!

The boss saw that he wanted to buy something, so he smiled and said, "Sir! If you buy a lighter, I will give you a pack of flints, which will be enough for two or three years, and a pack of Hardman."

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

The boss had sharp eyes and saw his Hardman cigarettes.

But there was no lighter.

Buy a lighter and get a pack of cigarettes for free, and there are so many flints.

If you calculate it this way, it seems that a lighter is only about two or three cents?

To promote lighters.

It’s a buy one get two free deal.

Don’t underestimate today’s business practices!

…………

He was too lazy to bargain and didn't know what price to bargain for.

He gave the shopkeeper two dollars and bought a lighter and sixteen packs of Hardman cigarettes.

Nowadays, cigarettes are packaged in short square strips placed side by side horizontally.

The shopkeeper skillfully picked up two dollars, blew into them, and flicked the banknote detector at a very fast speed.

Be cautious without losing the dignity of the customers.

The shopkeeper filled the lighter with kerosene, tested it and found it worked before handing it to Zhang Kaiwu.

He then carefully packed all the cigarettes and flints into a brown paper bag for Zhang Kaiwu and handed it to him.

The shopkeeper gave him another cigarette and lit it for him.

Then the shopkeeper bowed and said happily: "Thank you for your patronage, sir! You are so generous! Good luck to you, sir!"

…………

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

Alas! It seems to be Peking.

This business is really difficult to do!
These shopkeepers all speak very nicely!
He bent down and bowed very hard!
Even when they were wearing tattered clothes, they still called themselves "little brother".

bow!

When they dress themselves respectably, they call themselves "sir".

bow!

I guess if I wear a set of Ma褂, they will call me "Little Master"! ?

Do I still have to run around and bow?!
...............

The price of cigarettes is a bit expensive.

This one dollar is the weight of one ounce of silver, 90% silver and 10% copper.

It’s about one or two taels of silver.

When money was at its most valuable during the Republic of China, one dollar could buy three loads of rice, which was about 360 kilograms.

Can buy 500 big meat buns.

Now I can only buy a carton of Hardman cigarettes! ?
The prices are a bit high! ?
Zhang Kaiwu walked out of the store and casually put the things into the storage space.

…………

What else did Qin Huairu ask you to bring?

It took him a long time to remember.

Red hairband!
I saw a blacksmith selling knives.

He spent two hundred copper coins and bought a hand saw, a bag of arrows, a new pair of scissors, and a large hoe.

Prepare to dig a hole and bury the person.

He saw a man selling hemp ropes. Now that he had money, he didn't want to make them himself, so he spent forty copper coins to buy a large bundle.

I spent a huge amount of money to buy four boxes of locomotive tooth powder, three bone toothbrushes, and three new towels.

I weighed another large stack of toilet paper, more than ten kilograms.

I stayed in the countryside for two days, and used a lump of earth to wipe the toilet according to the original owner's memory.

It feels like I am dying!
The key is to PLAY!
