Chapter 121: Is there any ambition in Yinghuan Market?
Ding Hao handled the case so successfully that he really wanted to go back to Ding's house right away. But the three little brothers were so enthusiastic that they had to go and socialize anyway. The Zhiqiao Restaurant was on the bank of a river in the city, so it was easy to take a shortcut there.
Since Ding Hao couldn't move his carriage and horses, he gave instructions to the coachman of Ding Mansion and asked him to wait for him near the government office. He took a small road and rushed to Linjiang Restaurant to meet Scimitar Xiaoliu and the others.
This small road is actually not too small, but it is crowded with people who have set up colorful booths and sell goods. Pedestrians are walking shoulder to shoulder, and there is no urban management management, so it feels crowded when walking. Ding Hao patiently walked forward, finally
It is easy to see a small bridge. The bridge is also bustling with people, with stalls selling goods on both sides, and many pedestrians walking around asking for goods.
Ding Hao was walking forward slowly, when he suddenly saw three very familiar figures not far ahead. He took a closer look and saw that they were Scimitar Xiaoliu and Tieniu, with the big head. Ding Hao smiled broadly and was about to raise his voice to greet them. A small figure
The manager was pushing a wheelbarrow carrying fish and was passing by Scimitar Xiaoliu. When he saw Scimitar Xiaoliu ouch, he jumped up, grabbed the man and shouted: "Don't you have eyes when you walk?"
, why did it run over my feet?"
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Tieniu and Datou had already jumped over and shouted: "Don't go, you crushed my brother's foot, do you want to just leave?"
The young manager was quite honest. When he saw the three of them rolling up their arms and sleeves, he knew they had run into a rogue. He laughed and bowed, "You three guys have something to say, something to say."
Scimitar Xiaoliu spat on the ground and said: "What a joke. You ran over my uncle's feet. You should be able to apologize. Do you want me to teach you what to do?" After saying that, he walked towards his car.
烃
The man suddenly understood and quickly picked up a big fish from the car, quickly tied it with a straw rope, handed it to Scimitar Xiaoliu's hand, and said with a smile: "A little apology, little brother, please forgive me, little brother
Please forgive me."
Scimitar Xiaoliu turned his anger into joy and took the fish in a big way, praising: "You are a man with some good eyesight. I am in a good mood today and I don't want to seek any bad luck for you. Go ahead and go ahead."
The man thanked him repeatedly, pushed the car and hurried away. Ding Hao looked angry and funny in the crowd. He had only heard them call themselves rogues before, but he had never seen their naughty methods. These young people
Human nature is not bad, but if this continues, it’s hard to say what will happen to me in the future. Since they call me big brother, I should give them some advice.
Scimitar Xiaoliu didn't know that Ding Hao was watching in the crowd. He held the fish in his hand, weighed the portion, and said with a smile: "Brother invites us to have a drink. It's a very nice place to go. Now we want to invite eldest brother
To eat wine, you must at least have fish and meat. We already have the fat fish, let’s go look for a good piece of meat.”
Not far ahead, we got off the stone bridge. The first house at the beginning was a pork shack. There was a woman sitting in it. She was thirty years old. She was wearing a straight-breasted shirt with green inside and pink outside. Her oily black hair was pulled up high and she had a hairpin.
There is a flower as big as a cup, and the chopping board in front of her is greasy. Two dolls with upturned hair, the older one is only seven or eight years old, and the younger one is only three or four years old. They are still wearing crotchless pants and are squatting next to her.
The ground not far away was covered with mud.
Scimitar Xiaoliu burst into smiles when he saw her, and shouted loudly: "Miss Peng San, are you going to fight today?"
The woman turned around and saw him, her eyes widened, and she took a breath and said, "Get out of here, you're going to cheat me out of money again."
Scimitar Xiaoliu smiled and said, "I would like to admit defeat. I wanted to give you a try with this big fish, but if you don't want to, I will go find someone else to play tricks on you."
Mrs. Peng Sanniang glanced sideways at the big fish in his hand. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she slapped her thighs, jumped up and said, "If you fight, fight. How much money can you make from this fish?"
Scimitar Xiaoliu lifted the fish in his hand and said, "It's such a big fish, it weighs about five or six kilograms. How about the price of thirty cents?"
Mrs. Peng Sanniang curled her lips and said: "How can it be worth so much? It only costs twenty cents."
Scimitar Xiaoliu said cheerfully: "That also means, come on, come on, get the money."
Madam Peng Sanniang said to her two sons and daughter squatting on the ground in the mud: "Keep an eye on the meat stall. When I come back with a few pennies, I will buy you rice crackers to eat." After coaxing the children, she rolled up her sleeves and started talking happily.
He came forward, lifted up his skirt, squatted on the ground, and started fighting with Scimitar Xiaoliu.
What the two of them meant by gambling was Guan Pu. As soon as the gambling started here, many passers-by who were addicted to gambling gathered around to watch the fun. Madam Peng Sanniang counted five cents to Scimitar Xiaoliu, and Scimitar Xiaoliu
He put the big fish on a bench beside him, threw the money on the ground, and jumped up with a lot of shouts. I don’t know what the scimitar Xiaoliushi’s technique is. Although he has never thrown it cleanly, he is still better than Mrs. Peng Sanni.
In just one minute or two, it took less than two minutes for the two of them to gamble for a cup of tea. Mrs. Peng Sanniang lost nearly twenty cash and was no longer willing to gamble anymore.
Scimitar Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Madam of the Peng family, if you don't want to fight anymore, please bring me the money."
Mrs. Peng Sanni felt remorseful and was taking selfies of her legs and cursing. When she saw him urging her, she said angrily: "My boss is so tight, where can I give you the money?"
Her and Niba's son stood aside and said: "Mom, you gambled for money again and lost money. Dad will scold you again when he comes back."
Mrs. Peng San's face turned red and she said: "You two little bastards, go away and play!" Although she regretted it, she refused to be lazy. While muttering about bad luck, she walked to the stall and chopped a piece of pork and said: "
This piece of meat is worth twenty cents, take it, take it! I will never compete with you for money again."
Da Tou laughed loudly, took the pork, and sang, "Thank you, sister-in-law of the Peng family." The three of them moved forward again, and Ding Hao followed them all the way. He saw that they were blackmailing, gambling, cheating, or stealing.
The jewelry sold was not spared. When they arrived at the Zhiqiao Restaurant, they already had a lot of things in their hands. The three of them entered the restaurant, handed the fish and meat to the shopkeeper, and used the ten cents as firewood seasoning money.
The price of clothes and head was worth a bottle of wine, and then he happily went upstairs.
Ding Hao shook his head secretly and followed them upstairs. As soon as the three of them sat down, they saw Ding Hao appear. They were overjoyed and quickly welcomed him to the table. Ding Hao sat down and said seriously: "Brother, I have been following you all the way.
I see everything you do. I don’t mean to look down on you, but since you call me brother, I want to advise you. Now that you are young and vigorous, you may be able to make a living by doing this, but what will happen in the future?
What to do? You always want to marry, have children, start a family, and start a business. Are you going to call your wife and your son, and have someone poke your back because of you?"
When the three of them heard this, their faces turned red, and Scimitar Xiaoliuqiu Ai Ai said: "Brother, the brothers understand what you said, but look at our three pieces of materials, hemp rope and tofu, it is impossible to lift it. If we don't become gangsters, why don't we still take the exam to get the top prize?"
Ding Hao laughed and scolded: "Take the No. 1 exam? Save it, the iron pestle can be used as a needle if it is ground fine. But if the wooden pestle is ground fine, it can only be used as a toothpick. If it is not that piece of material, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. I can't I don’t expect you to have that ambition or ability, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a decent job and live a decent life, right?”
Tie Niu said: "Brother, what do you think the three of us can do? We only have this strength and know how to punch and kick. If we were to be porters, we would be afraid of being laughed at by our former brothers. We are not good at anything else." "
At this time, the wine and meat were served one after another, and the four of them were drinking and eating meat. Ding Hao said: "Don't say such a lack of ambition. I see that you three have clever hands, eyes, and quick minds. If you start a small business together, you might not be able to make ends meet." ?”
Datou pointed to the tip of his nose in disbelief and said: "Business? Just these three pieces of material?"
Ding Hao encouraged: "What's wrong with that? Everything depends on human effort. If you get timid before you do it, you will achieve nothing. I know a person. This person... uh... is a commoner in Yanggu County, Shandong Province. He is tall. He was less than five feet tall, with an ugly face and a ridiculous mind. The locals saw that he was short and short, so they gave him a nickname, "Three-inch Dinggu Bark". But he got up early and stayed in the dark, selling cooking cakes, but he also She lives in a two-story building, sells wine and meat during the holidays, and even marries the most beautiful woman from a thousand as his wife..."
Datou asked curiously: "Brother, aren't you lying to me? You are born with the appearance of a 'three-inch lady, like a grain tree bark', and you can still marry a handsome woman chosen from a thousand to be your wife. How can you be so beautiful and blessed with such a good life?"
Ding Hao smiled and said: "It's natural... that man's life... is actually better. If you find a legitimate livelihood, you may not be worse than him. Only with a legitimate livelihood can a daughter from a good family dare to marry you." , Let’s not talk about picking one from a thousand miles. Depending on your character, it’s easy to find someone who is pretty and handsome. Besides, you should have a little bit of ambition to be a person. Today, you are down to earth, from a gangster to a small businessman with your duty. The next step is not a bad idea. You can grow up and become a big businessman from a small businessman.
The eldest brother has traveled all over the country and has experienced a lot. He also heard a story. There is a place over the South China Sea. A businessman named Li saved a lot of money by selling plastic... and silk flowers, and then expanded his business. It was like this. , an egg lays a chicken, and in just over 20 years he has become a rich man whose wealth rivals that of the rest of the world.
He was also a bitter man at the beginning. Did he dare to imagine that one day he would be as rich as the country in twenty years? You are just gangsters now, but as long as you are willing to follow the right path, you know that one day you will not be as successful as him. If you want to pursue the right path, my eldest brother will lend you a sum of money as capital, how about that?"
Datou is simple-minded and was first excited by his idea. He said with great longing: "Brother, if we do business, can we be as rich as Chu Yuanwai one day?"
Ding Hao asked curiously: "Who is the Chu member?"
Wang Tieniu rushed to say: "That's Mr. Wenlou who lives across the river. The Chu family's courtyard has three entrances and three exits. There is a donkey shed and a grinding room in the courtyard. After passing the screen wall, the middle courtyard is full of warehouses, and rice is stored on the left. , on the right side, and further back, there is a brick house with a corridor. I have only seen the inner courtyard once. It is really grand. There is a main house connected to the east and west wing rooms. There is also a pond in the middle of the yard, with small animals raised in the pond. goldfish……"
Datou said excitedly: "If I live in a house like that, I will ask for a handsome wife. No, no, no, one is not enough, I have to ask for two. If this one ignores me, I will sleep in that house and have a lot of babies."
Children, you have to call me daddy..."
Ding Hao laughed when he heard this. Big Tou and Xi Zhu'er are really similar. If you have a chance, you might as well introduce them to each other. Scimitar Xiaoliu grabbed the wine glass, curled up the corners of his mouth, and sneered disdainfully: "You can tell the frog at the bottom of the well at a glance.
You two have never seen much of the world!"
Wang Tieniu and Da Tou widened their eyes and said, "So what if I rely on you?"
Scimitar Xiaoliu raised his chin and said proudly: "Have you not seen the manner in which Li Fangzheng meets my father every time? My father has to treat a person who will fall down as soon as the wind blows. If I had
If you want to make a career, you have to build a business and take care of the three-thirds of an acre of land in front of your home. That is dignity and scenery."
Wang Tieniu and Datou said with shame on their faces: "Why didn't we think that your ambition is more ambitious?"
When Ding Hao heard the thoughts of the three living treasures, he felt a little funny. He joked in a serious manner: "Brother will tell you a joke to drink with you. By the way... there are three farmers working in the fields. When they are tired, they lie down in the shade of the tree.
When we got down to enjoy the cool air, one of them said: "It would be great if we could be emperors." The other said: "Yeah, I really don't know what kind of life the emperor lived." The third person said: "Hi,
Then why bother asking? The emperor must have enough white flour steamed buns every day, and all he uses in the fields are gold hoes..."
Scimitar Xiaoliu and the other three were stunned for a moment, and suddenly they fell down laughing: "Hahaha, it's so funny, these three tough guys who have never seen the world, hahaha..."
Ding Hao didn't expect that his joke would have such an effect. He looked at the three living treasures in anger and fun, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The four brothers were laughing heartily when someone suddenly shouted urgently downstairs: "Manager Ding, Ding Hao, are you here?"
Ding Hao walked to the window and opened it to look downstairs. He saw the driver of the Ding family standing downstairs. When the man saw Ding Hao, he shouted anxiously: "Manager Ding, something big happened in the house. I think...
I should let you know immediately."
"What's up?"
"I heard that the eldest young master suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma..."
Ding Hao's heart tightened and he quickly said: "Just wait, I'll go down right away."
Ding Hao turned around solemnly and said to Scimitar Xiaoliu and the others: "Something happened to the Ding family. I have to go back immediately. You three drink slowly. My eldest brother would like to advise you not to take the crooked door again."
Scimitar Xiaoliu stood up and asked: "Brother, when will you come to the city again?"
Ding Hao said: "I don't know yet, I have to rush back to the village immediately."
Scimitar Xiaoliu said: "That's done, I won't send you off. Tomorrow we brothers will go to the village to see you and pay homage to the aunt."
Ding Hao had no time to say anything more, so he waved in a hurry and left the restaurant. As soon as he got downstairs, he asked urgently: "Please tell me clearly, why did the young master fall into a coma for no reason?"
The coachman said: "I don't know, I don't know. It was Xi Zhu'er who said it. He came to the city to ask Doctor Xu to diagnose a disease. He met the villain on the road. He only said a few words to me in a hurry and left. The villain also
Don’t know the details.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Hao said anxiously: "Let's go quickly and go back immediately!"
