"Today is a good day... Everything you want can come true. Tomorrow will be a good day. Let us earn gold bars and earn~~~~"
Gao Bin was sitting on a rickshaw, holding a wooden box in one hand and humming a magic tune in his mouth. That was beautiful.
It's just a pain for Xiangzi. The young man was frightened today and hasn't recovered yet. Pulling a rickshaw was like pulling him out of a roller coaster.
If Gao Bin hadn't been in good physical condition, he would have suffered from motion sickness.
Finally arriving at the door of the house, Gao Bin asked Xiangzi to pull the car into the yard, lock the outer door, and then returned to the backyard carrying the two wooden boxes.
Xiangzi had been renting a house before, but now that he is with Gao Bin, he naturally has to take care of his food and accommodation.
The most indispensable thing in the yard is an empty house. I originally wanted to choose a better room for him, but Fang Fang is very sensible and actively asked to live in the reverse room, which is convenient for going out and can also serve as a concierge for Gao Bin.
Gao Bin didn't care. He let him live if he wanted. Anyway, he wouldn't be treated badly in terms of food, drink and treatment. He was a hard-working child.
After returning to his room, Gao Bin suddenly remembered the wooden box given by his fourth master, but he hadn't opened it yet.
I didn’t bother to change my clothes, so I pulled the copper lock on the wooden box and opened it, ‘hiss~~~’
"Fourth Master is mighty!"
Xiangzi, who had just parked the car and was boiling water in the kitchen in the front yard for wiping, heard such a sound coming from behind and couldn't help but mutter:
"Master, what's going on?"
What's wrong?
A total of 25 gold bars, a thick stack of banknotes that an average adult woman can’t hold in one hand, and an ocean wrapped in five bundles of red paper. How much does this cost?
Gao Bin had no idea for a while. Anyway, he was just very rich. He became famous in one battle and became rich overnight. Or the first pot of gold was stained with blood. Poor Zhang Cheng.
In fact, if Zhang Cheng hadn't beaten the fourth master's people so hard in the first two games, which made him look very powerful, the fourth master wouldn't have been so generous.
The only regret is that whether it was given by Fourth Master or Boss Sun, they were all small gold bars, also known as the legendary 'little yellow croaker'.
But he is not greedy, even if it is a small yellow croaker, it will be enough for him to use for a while.
No, he had to have an idea, so he put down the wooden box and rushed out without locking the door. Anyway, there was no third person in the yard.
"Xiangzi? Xiangzi?"
Gao Bin shouted when he came to the front yard.
"Hey, Master, what are your orders here?"
Xiangzi came out of the kitchen wearing a baggy rag.
"Let me ask you, how much can a small yellow croaker be exchanged for now?"
Xiangzi said without hesitation:
"Master, it depends on where you go to exchange it. Some places can exchange it for 35 yuan, and some places can only exchange it for 30 yuan, but it's basically within this range."
Gao Bin's mind was spinning. He got a total of 38 small goldfish today, so he could exchange them for at least 1,140 yuan.
If I remember correctly, Uncle Lu, the people's thinker, bought a courtyard house with 32 rooms for over 3,500 oceans.
If you add in those other oceans and banknotes, can you earn half a set of courtyard houses in one battle?
Hiss~ This ability to make money is a bit too scary.
"Master? Master?" Xiangzi couldn't help but feel uneasy when he saw Gao Bin's uncertain expression.
"Ah? Oh, it's okay. You can go to bed quickly. You've worked hard today. By the way, whoever sees it has a share. I'll reward you with these two pieces of ocean."
"Ah? No, no, no, Master, you have already given me my salary."
"Take it, consider it a bonus, a reward for protecting the Lord wholeheartedly."
This was not a name he made up casually. Xiangzi's performance today really made him very happy.
In the early days of the Republic of China, two oceans were worth a lot of money. Now, one ocean is enough to buy a delicious meal of mutton-boiled meat, and the purchasing power has dropped sharply.
But for the people living at the bottom, save your money, these two pieces of ocean are enough to last for a week.
Gao Bin gave Xiangzi a salary of 15 yuan a month, which was much more than what he earned working outside. Coupled with rewards from time to time, Xiangzi became more and more hopeful as the days passed.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"
"Just rest."
Gao Bin waved his hand, thinking that he would have to find two maids to take care of his daily life. He has never been a person who wronged himself. As long as he has money, he will definitely find ways to improve his life.
Not only a maid, but also a steward. Although the two yards at the front and back don't seem to be very big, there are definitely a lot of things to do. Xiangzi is not a steward, so he can only pull a cart and support the house.
Be more of a concierge.
After thinking about it all the way back to the room, Gao Bin hid the gold bars in the closet. Unfortunately, he didn't have much storage space, so it was not safe to put them at home.
He is not a person who has never seen money. He calmed down after being a little excited for a while. He simply wiped himself off and went to the kang to rest. He will arrange the manpower at home tomorrow.
With these and other thoughts, I fell into a deep sleep and slept until dawn.
...
When Gao Bin woke up early in the morning, before he even opened his eyes, he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Master, Master, are you awake? Come out quickly, people giving gifts are lined up outside."
Gao Bin got up from the kang in excitement, put on a coat and went to open the door:
"What's going on?"
"I don't know either, young master. I heard some movement outside before dawn. I got up and took a look. There were people standing outside carrying various gifts.
I wanted to invite people in, but no one came in. I just left my things behind and left, and by the way, I even left an invitation."
Gao Bin probably understood what was going on. It must have been that yesterday's incident had spread, and the big shots in Forty-Nine City wanted to get to know this martial arts hero.
It’s not that we have a relationship, but if we become familiar with each other, and if we meet each other in public in the future, and say hello to each other, won’t we gain face?
After wanting to understand what was going on, Gao Bin lost interest in receiving the reception in person, so he ordered Xiangzi:
"Go ahead and say hello, accept the gifts, be polite, and record the gifts from everyone. I can use them later."
"Okay, Master, then you..."
"I will go out through the back door in a moment. There are too few people available at home. I have to find a few."
When Xiangzi heard this, not only was he not unhappy, but he was happy and at ease. He knew that he was just a rickshaw puller, and asking him to deal with people was like asking a butcher to play cotton.
...
Gao Bin changed his clothes, slipped out of the back door, and went to the breakfast stall outside first to get a bowl of wontons. The skin was thin and the fillings were big. The bone-drained old soup was delicious. A bowl like this was served steaming hot, and he wouldn't be hungry all day long.
of.
After eating, Gao Bin hailed a rickshaw and went straight to Fourth Master's mansion.
The old man hasn't woken up yet, and the person who receives him is the old housekeeper.
"Master Gao, have you had breakfast? The small kitchen made pea yellow and mung bean cake. You won't get tired of eating them this season."
Gao Bin, who was already full, suddenly felt an appetite after hearing these two snacks.
He was not polite to them and nodded:
"I had breakfast, but now I'm hungry again. Please give me a few bucks."
The old housekeeper smiled slightly:
"You can try a few pieces first, and when you leave, I'll ask the kitchen to wrap them up for you and take them back to eat slowly."
"Okay, thank you."
"Master Gao, you're welcome."
After the old butler personally served snacks and a pot of jasmine flowers, Gao Bin stopped him and refused to let him go:
"What's your surname, sir?"
"I don't dare to call you a noble character. My surname is Wang. Master Gao can just call me Butler Wang."
"Okay, Steward Wang, I want to ask you something. There were a lot of gift-givers here early this morning. I can't handle it all by myself, so I wanted to find a steward and two maids to help me.
Taking care of housework..."
The housekeeper must learn to listen to the strings and know the music. Before Gao Bin finished speaking, he understood the other party's intention.
"By coincidence, I have a distant cousin who has been managing affairs for a wealthy family. Not long ago, that family moved to Xiangjiang, and all the servants were laid off. My cousin is worried about not having a job."<
/p>
Gao Bin slapped his thigh:
"It's better to come early than to come late. Where is your cousin? Can you call him and let me see him?"
"Master Gao, don't worry. You eat and drink first. I'll send someone to call for you. A pot of tea will arrive in time."
"Sure, then I'll be waiting here."
"You're too kind."
Butler Wang is very knowledgeable, and sure enough, when the pot of scented tea bottomed out, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties walking over behind Butler Wang.
"Master Gao, please wait, this is my cousin Wang Qiming."
"Hello, Master Gao, your name is astonishing."
Wang Qiming has a silly smile, pure eyes, and dark skin, and he looks like he was born as a coolie.
For such a person to be able to reach the position of housekeeper, I don’t know how much hard work he has put in.
"I heard from Butler Wang that you don't have a job now?"
"Yes, please invite Master Gao to enjoy the meal."
"It's easy to say, let me ask you a question, and if you answer it, you can go back with me now. On the contrary, we will make a good relationship and we will still be friends when we meet on the street in the future."
Wang Qiming's body tensed up, knowing that the critical moment had come:
"Ask me, and I promise to tell you everything I know."
Gao Bin was not polite to him and asked with narrowed eyes:
"If one day I ask you to behead someone, are you willing to do it?"
This question is difficult to answer because there is no accurate answer at all.
Who knows what kind of character Gao Bin is? Everyone wants to hear a different answer, which stumps Wang Qiming.
Not to mention Wang Qiming, even the tried-and-tested Butler Wang smiled bitterly because he couldn't answer either.
You must know that the fourth master is a difficult master to maintain, and the various rules in the house can make life difficult for people.
But now, Gao Bin raised a question that no one could answer. What should we do?
Butler Wang has prepared words to comfort his cousin.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qiming said directly:
"If you want me to die, I have to die. Once I enter the mansion, my fate and that of the master's family will be tightly tied together. We will both prosper and suffer. There is nothing I am unwilling to do, only the master's family won't let me do it."
Things."
Gao Bin's eyes lit up, he slapped the stone table hard and shouted loudly!
"That's right! That's good. Okay, come with me. From now on, the two courtyards at home will be handed over to you. Don't worry, this is just the beginning. You will have more and more tasks in the future."
Although Butler Wang didn't understand what riddle the two men were playing, it wasn't important. What was important was that his cousin found a job and he completed Gao Bin's commission. It was just a matter of personal preference.
"Steward Wang, thank you very much. If you need anything in the future, please come to me." Gao Bin also took the initiative to accept this favor.
"You're too kind."
After taking Wang Qiming out, Gao Bin stopped two rickshaws and took them back to the yard.
"I heard from your cousin that the family where you worked previously laid off many servants?"
Wang Qiming has assumed the role of Gao Bin's housekeeper and bowed:
"Yes, young master, they are all good at work."
"Well, you can walk around the yard for a while and see how many people are needed, then find them from that group of people. You are familiar with them and it will be easier for you to command them."
Wang Qiming immediately said:
"I would like to thank the young master on behalf of everyone."
"Stop talking about this, just work hard and the salary will be indispensable."
"Yes!"
Wang Qiming quickly walked around the yard and returned to Gao Bin's room to report:
"Master, I took a quick look. In the two courtyards, one maid to serve you and two helpers or ladies are enough. Of course, this is just the minimum requirement."
The implication is that if you have money, you can invite as many people as you want.
"Well, please hire two maids. They can work shifts and they won't be so tired."
After a pause, he tapped his fingers on the table:
"As for the handyman, you can look at the arrangements, but you have to find me a good cook, even a cook. It's best to be able to cook Sichuan cuisine."
Wang Qiming thought for a moment:
"No problem, I'll arrange it."
"Well, you go help me buy a rickshaw again, and ask Xiangzi to quit his job at the rickshaw dealership, and then stay at home."
"Okay, young master, do you need a special order?"
"Just add a better canopy, wider and thicker seats."
"Got it."
Gao Bin took out a small wooden box from the closet, which he had packed before:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"You can use the money here. If you don't have enough, tell me."
He put all the oceans and banknotes inside, as well as 6 small yellow croakers, which was enough for a while.
"By the way, I also need to tidy up my house. I'll go see if there are any good old furniture and bring them back to decorate them."
"It's young master, I will make arrangements as soon as possible."
"Well, by the way, you will go to Xiangzi later to get the gift list and re-register the gifts and the people who gave them. We will have to return them later. In short, I will leave all these things in the house to you in the future. I am too lazy to do so.
tube."
Wang Qiming said quickly:
"Master, this is my job, please give me your orders."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Your treatment, as well as the treatment of the servants, will be in accordance with market standards. I will give you additional bonuses based on the situation to ensure that you earn more than others."
"Thank you, Master."
Gao Bin was busy for a while and felt a little tired, so he waved his hand casually:
"I'll be confused for a while, go and do your work."
It took three days for Wang Qiming to arrange everything. The two serving maids were very beautiful. They were both 16 or 17 years old. They were fair and tender. In future generations, they would at least be at the class beauty level. Unfortunately, now, they can only work out.
Make money.
At first, Gao Bin still felt uncomfortable with child labor, but he gradually got used to it. The days when there were people waiting for him were so comfortable, and the evil old society was so delicious!
Just one week after Gao Bin became famous, the fourth game came as scheduled.
Gao Bin looked at Boss Sun with fiery eyes on the stage and couldn't help showing a kind smile. He's a good man. He's rushing to give money. He's a good man!
However, facing this "big master" called Dragon Slayer, Gao Bin didn't even test it, and he settled the battle in less than three moves.
The main thing is that the most important thing in this kind of unrestricted fighting is to determine the winner. Life, death and the process are not important, as long as you defeat the opponent.
It’s not like UFC/MMA or something like that, where you’re not allowed to use it here or there.
In a real fighting competition, every move is a killing move. Unless the two sides are evenly matched and can use more than two moves, it will only be a matter of three or five moves.
Once again, he won the victory with a crushing momentum and tied the score to 2:2. Gao Bin was in the limelight for a while.
At the banquet in the evening, the fourth master was drunk again, but this time he did not send gold bars, but with a wave of his hand, he sent a box of treasures, such as ivory pipes and polished emeralds, all good things.
Gao Bin is not in a hurry to cash in. When he marries a wife and concubines, he must get some decent jewelry, which will definitely come in handy.
Fourth Master is so awesome!
...
The next day, Gao Bin slept in and stayed in bed, unable to get up. He asked Xiao Cui to perform a full-body massage on him, which made the little girl blush, and then he crawled out feeling refreshed.
Get up.
This kind of girl who is a married woman has been his master from the day she joined her. If it weren't for the fact that she was so young and couldn't bear to do anything, Gao Bin would have been unable to bear it.
Anyway, it’s only a matter of time, just get over the addiction first and collect some interest, don’t worry about the real thing.
"Master, are you up?"
As soon as I went out, I saw Wang Qiming instructing people to clean the yard. There were a few crabapples planted in the backyard. Winter was about to come and the leaves began to fall. If I didn't clean it for a day, the fallen leaves would be all over the yard, which made people feel depressed.
In the past, Gao Bin was too lazy to take care of it, but now that there are more people in the house and he is more popular, it is impossible not to deal with it, and there is no need for him to do it anyway.
"Get up, what do you want to eat in the morning?"
"You used force yesterday and you shouldn't eat anything with strong flavors. I specially asked the small kitchen to make shredded chicken and vegetable porridge, with pickles from Liubiju and fried cakes freshly baked at the corner of the street."
Gao Bin nodded:
"Okay, let's serve."
"Please wait."
Gao Bin was going to sit in the yard to eat. Because he got up late, the temperature had come up now and he didn't feel cold at all.
After breakfast, Gao Bin played boxing again in the yard, and his body was completely relaxed.
Just when I was thinking about what to do today, Jin Hai came.
"Brother Hai? Come on, come on, I'm bored. Lao Wang, go build a pot of jasmine flowers and serve some snacks."
"Okay, young master, please wait a moment, Mr. Jin."
"Thank you, Lao Wang."
It’s not the first time Jin Hai has come here, familiar.
"Why does Brother Hai have time to come here?"
"I know you are busy and don't have time to go to Baizhifang. I happened to be here to do some work and stopped by to see you."
"It's not my fault, it's my fault."
Jin Hai waved his hand:
"It doesn't mean that. Seeing you become famous all over the world, my benefactor can rest in peace even if he is under the Nine Springs."
"That's all thanks to Brother Hai for your support."
"Don't talk about it, but I do need your help this time."
"Brother Hai, just tell me if you have something to do, why do you still need to be polite to me?"
Gao Bin's words were not polite, he really admired Jin Hai.
He is affectionate and righteous, and decisive in killing. Although he is indifferent to most people, he is really interesting to his brothers.
