Globe Trekker

Chapter 43
Walking out of the gate of the county government, Wu Ming was relaxed. Although it cost a gold bar, the matter was settled anyway. As for when the county government will send people to verify the land, Wu Ming doesn't care at all. It's best not to go, so as to avoid paying taxes .

The two brothers were overjoyed when they learned that they would be able to receive their identity certificates in the afternoon. Leha followed Wu Ming to the Donghe Street where there are many shops, looking around and feeling very comfortable.

Walking past more than [-] shops in a row, Wu Ming stopped in front of the two-story red building with a wide frontage, Dabu Zhuang, observed for a while, and led two apprentices into the room. The two brothers behind looked at each other and had no choice but to follow in.

Wu Ming nodded to the store clerk who greeted him enthusiastically, walked to the wardrobe counter on the left to look around, turned his head, and asked the young clerk: "The clothes on it are not very suitable for us, I saw the sign at the gate saying 'Tailored and crafted,' right?"

The clerk smiled proudly: "This young master has a vision! If you dare to say something boastful, we can make any style that any shop in Changshan City can make, and we can make what others can't. If you don't believe me , the small one will take you to the backyard workshop. There are three "Singer brand" sewing machines all imported from the United States, and one hemming machine that is unique in the city. The tailoring and turning workers are veterans in the industry who are invited back from the provincial capital Hangzhou with high salaries. Master, whether you make a robe or a mandarin jacket or a suit or trousers, they can lead the trend, and you will definitely be satisfied!"

Wu Ming saw the effect of the sewing machine from the vests hanging in front of him, and said that he didn't need to go in to look at the sewing machine, so he ordered the staff to call the master to choose materials for tailoring, and each of the five people made two sets of new styles. The waiter in the shop was so happy that he ran away for a while.

The old six were so frightened that they refused again and again, but in the end they couldn't win Wu Ming, so they simply ran out of the cloth village and went back to the inn to rest.

Wu Ming didn't care too much, and asked two middle-aged seamstresses who came quickly to measure the two young men first. Who knew that the two young men were shy and blushed with shame. Standing still, let the two smiling aunts be at the mercy of them.

Half an hour later, Wu Ming chose two types of khaki cloth imported from England, iron gray and navy blue, to make clothes for the two boys. They kept sending them respectfully to the street, and kept saying that they would deliver six sets of clothes to the inn early in the morning, which would definitely satisfy the young master.

After walking a few dozen steps, Wu Ming entered a well-decorated shoe store. Lu Kuiyuan's brow was sweating, and he was terrified as he clutched his bag tightly. He thought to himself that he had just spent 65 yuan in Buzhuang. It looks like the big brother is still full of ideas, and it's not over yet!

Wu Ming didn't care what Lu Kuiyuan thought, he went straight to the imported shoes in the middle of the shelf inside the counter, quickly turned around and ordered the two apprentices wearing straw sandals to sit down as the waiter ordered, and ordered the waiter to get two pairs according to the size of their feet. Try dark blue canvas sneakers made in the UK.

"Uncle Ming, I, I'm not used to wearing this kind of shoes. It's hot and I'm sweating." Lei Peng, who was still wearing She nationality clothes, said timidly.

Wu Ming smiled and said, "That's because you haven't worn them. You'll like them after you wear them. Heat is a hot spot. Just get used to it. Look at me, don't you wear cloth shoes all the time?"

"But, my dad will scold me when I go back." Lei Peng looked at Wu Ming pitifully, but he really wanted to have such a pair of beautiful shoes in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, if he dares to scold you, I'll beat him up."

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he ignored it, and turned to the counter to ask the boss to take a look at the pair of dark brown British-made cowhide sneakers on them. The boss leaned out quickly to look at Wu Ming's feet. Come out with a box.

Wu Ming took the shoe, looked it up and down, inside and out, sat down with satisfaction, took off the shoe and tried it on, tied the shoelace skillfully, stood up and stomped his feet, walked a few steps back and said happily: "Boss, you have very good eyesight." Not bad, the size is just right, comfortable and strong, the whole shoe shape and thick wear-resistant shading design are also very reasonable, these days the British guys are very real, I bought it! Add the sneakers of the two children together, boss, what do you think? Offer."

"Good! That's natural."

The boss's mental calculation speed is very fast, and he quoted the price after a moment of pondering: "Canvas thick-soled sneakers are priced at nine yuan a pair, young master, your pair is very expensive when you buy it, at least 37 yuan, and the total is 55 yuan, an integer I'll give the young master three more pairs of socks."

"Okay! Kuiyuan, give me the money!"

"Ah?" Lu Kuiyuan stood there in shock.

"Ah, what? Here's the money, 55 yuan, hurry up, and I have to get a haircut when it's over."

After lunch, Wu Ming and the three returned to the inn with a new look. The two brothers were surprised when they saw the big and small boxes and bags in their arms. They were stunned for a long time before they could react. : "Which one of you has money?"

The sixth child quickly replied: "Little brother has it here, how much does Brother Ming want?"

"Give me two hundred oceans if you have any, and forget it if you don't."

"Yes, yes, before coming, the master handed over a small cloth bag, which contained two gold bars and two hundred oceans. He said that Brother Ming might need it, and asked us to take care of it carefully."

"Is that so? Okay, you two keep fifty oceans, and the rest can be delivered to my room later."

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he lifted his legs and went upstairs, and the whistle that he hadn't heard for a long time sounded cheerfully again.

In the middle of the night, the old six looked at the bag of identity certificates on the bed with sad faces, unable to fall asleep no matter what, and didn't know how to explain to the family leaders when they went back.

At the end of the discussion, the sixth son sighed helplessly: "Since brother Ming has made up his mind to take the two young masters to Quzhou for a visit, we can't stop him, we can only go back and tell the truth."

The other simply lay down: "Then let's leave it alone, anyway, brother Ming has already obtained his identity certificate, so he can't go anywhere? With his shrewdness and Kuiyuan's good skills, he will definitely not suffer losses wherever he goes, if not I still have things to do, and I want to go shopping with Brother Ming. What a great opportunity, don’t you think? Kuiyuan is so big, he should go out and see the world. Maybe this time we can really get in touch with the ship. In the future, we will You don't have to work so hard, let them go."

After paying the bills early the next morning, the sixth and sixth sons rushed to Zhaoxian Town first, and they also went to Daqiao Town to pick up a batch of smuggled firearms and send them back to sell to the She brothers.

Wu Ming came back from the county government office yesterday afternoon, and quietly ordered the waiter in the store to buy three tickets to Quzhou, sent the two sons away, and then led the two boys to a small flavor shop at the corner of the street, where they had a delicious breakfast , walked unhurriedly towards the pier.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, there were already people coming and going on the pier. Looking around, most of them were vendors carrying large and small bags.

Wu Ming, who was wearing an iron-gray youth uniform and new leather shoes, stopped and gave some instructions to the two apprentices who were carrying suitcases who were completely new, and then walked to the boarding gate to line up. Lei Peng, who was dressed as a youth, always tilted his arms and immediately slapped him:

"Stand up, look up! Don't be a coward, who are you, Lei Peng? The tall and majestic son of the number one hero of the She nationality in Fenghuang Mountain! He is a sharpshooter who is better than all the soldiers! It's too late to be proud, what is there to be afraid of? ?”

"Exactly! Lei Peng, stand up." Lu Kuiyuan grew rapidly under Wu Ming's tricks.

"Ok."

Lei Peng straightened his chest, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt stiff and awkward.

Suddenly, there was a quarrel in front, and the whole team was in chaos.
