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

Chapter 44: Eight Cases of Beijing

Those little things were carried by peddlers. They would carry a load on their shoulders and shake a peddler's drum.

“Flutter flutter!”

“Flutter flutter!”

"Chicken feathers for sugar! Duck feathers for needles! Scrap copper and iron for scissors..."

I didn’t see this in Beiping today. Maybe Qin Huairu’s information was inaccurate and the peddlers were all in the countryside! ?
He saw a snack shop, which was a store selling candies and snacks.

Zhang Kaiwu walked in and bought some candies, about seven or eight kilograms, which he packed into two large bags.

I also bought some Beijing Eight Pieces snacks.

Eight flavors of snacks, eight large round wooden boxes.

In order to make things more convenient, he always buys high-end packaging, including beautiful snack boxes, which can be used later.

I just put together a deal worth two oceans.

I plan to take them back to Qinjiatun to feed Qin Huairu and the young lady from the Zhou family.

…………

I saw him buying so many things.

This is a big sum, probably for the wedding! ?
The shopkeeper served Zhang Kaiwu with a smile, and the round box inside was carefully wrapped with kraft paper.

The kraft paper was wrapped with a layer of red wedding paper and packed one by one with red festive rope.

The red wedding paper also has the name of his shop and the detailed address printed on it.

Convenient for advertising yourself.

…………

He looked curiously at the shopkeeper's rough hands, packing the things neatly and beautifully.

Two bags of candy are stacked together, and eight large boxes are tied into two large bags.

The packing skills are amazing!
Zhang Kaiwu curiously asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, do you know where to buy red hair strings?"

The shopkeeper looked at him uncertainly and asked doubtfully:

"Sir! Are you talking about the red hair strings sold by the peddler? Or something else?"

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile: "That's right! It's the one sold by the peddler! Where can I buy it?"

The shopkeeper said awkwardly, "Their red hairband is just a trivial thing to appease the peasants in the countryside."

"If you cut the string used to pack this snack a little shorter, you can make it into a red hairband."

Seeing Zhang Kaiwu's face was a bit embarrassed...

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir! How about I give you two more and you can go back and cut them yourself to comfort your child?"

Zhang Kaiwu: “…………”

He looked carefully at the eight large boxes of snacks and the candies, all tied up with red ropes.

It is estimated to be more than ten meters.

Can Qin Huairu use up all of these?
Just now he thought the shopkeeper's red string was very pretty, but he didn't expect that this was the mother of the red string, the red string! ?
Rural life.

I feel a little sad!
…………

Zhang Kaiwu said awkwardly: "Boss, I'm just a little curious and want to know what the red hair string is."

"I don't want to buy it, I'm just curious! Just curious!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I understand! I understand! Sir, you are a wealthy man, why do you need that thing?"

"Your child must have heard about it and is curious. I'll give you two. Can you use them to entertain your child?"

The shopkeeper enthusiastically stuffed two two-meter-long red ropes into his hands and insisted that he take them to the children to play with.

The enthusiasm was too great.

Zhang Kaiwu couldn't get rid of him and took the red rope awkwardly.

…………

There were no other customers in the store.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled as he handed the shopkeeper a Hardman cigarette, then lit it up with a lighter.

The shopkeeper took a puff with a smile and said with emotion: "This Hardman cigarette is strong, but it's too expensive now and I can't afford it!"

"Sir, you bought so many snacks and candies, it must be a wedding, right? Congratulations."

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile: "No, I actually brought it to my concubine to eat and play with."

Buying so much at once!
What kind of conditions are these!

The shopkeeper was horrified and said, "Sir, you are too respectable, aren't you? Such eight delicious snacks are enough as a gift for a respectable family to give as a blind date gift, but you actually gave it to your concubine as a snack!?" Damn it!

The embarrassment of the red hairband.

Finally moved back.

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile: "It's just so-so, the family environment is just so-so!"

With the shopkeeper's enthusiastic farewell words of "Have a nice trip, sir, and good luck to you, sir".

Zhang Kaiwu walked out of the store proudly.

Qin Huairu!

For your red hairband.

It’s really not easy for you to drive a martial arts car!

You should be more sensible in the future and stop being so pretentious.

Zhang Kaiwu walked proudly onto the street, and when no one was paying attention, he packed up the eight major snacks of Beijing.

After buying those things just now, he no longer had any interest in doing business in Peking.

Money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat!

It is probably really difficult to do business in the city of Peking.

but!

I don’t know what solution to come up with for the long term.

Zhang Kaiwu was at a loss and wanted to relax for a while.

…………

He hailed a rickshaw and asked the price carefully: "How much is it to go to Bada Hutong? Uh! How many copper coins?"

The driver said with a smile, "Sir! Eight copper coins. If you are happy, it would be even better if you give me two more."

Damn it!

There's no use calling him sir.

It should be as much as it should be!
...............

Zhang Kaiwu got on the rickshaw, and with a "ding" sound, the driver started moving.

It's very hot in Beijing in early June...

The driver was running out of breath, and beads of sweat quickly fell on the road...

A torn towel wiped quickly...

I guess I ran for fifteen minutes! ?
The car landed safely, and his clothes were soaked...

Being a coachman is not easy.

Zhang Kaiwu silently threw ten copper coins to him, and the driver grinned and bowed to thank him.

…………

He walked slowly to the entrance of the alley and looked at the sign at the entrance of the alley: "Xi Pi Tiao".

The Eight Great Hutongs…

This is his dream!

Before Zhang Kaiwu entered, an old crow came to greet him.

Looking at the vegetable oil on her hair, he thought of those scoundrels in the village.

The old crow smiled and greeted, "Sir, do you have a familiar lover? Come to my house and take a look?"

"My girl has good skills and a good reputation. Everyone who has tried it says it's good..."

Zhang Kaiwu ignored her. These solicitors were not from legitimate brothels.

I guess it's just a half-closed door, pure...

How can a brothel solicit customers on the street?!

What people in brothels value is elegance and what they display is talent!
A matter of mutual consent...

What's the point of going out on the streets to recruit people?
There are many Shaanxi timber merchants here, and timber is piled up everywhere.

Other than that, all of them are brothels.

There are too many brothels here, most of which are two-story wooden buildings with a U-shaped architectural structure.

There were stores one after another everywhere, and Zhang Kaiwu soon lost interest.
