Qi Jing coughed twice, then suddenly stretched out his hand and held her hand firmly: "A promise worth a thousand gold, no regrets."
Tang Shiyue couldn't help but laugh.
He always has his own rhythm and belongs to Qi Jing's way of thinking that is directed towards the goal. No matter how much he teases or teases, he can never go wrong.
A super cute straight man who can't help but feel sweet.
The two of them were standing on the road holding hands when they heard someone running over in a hurry: "Qi Xiaolang! Qi Xiaolang!"
Qi Jing's face turned pale and all her charm was gone. She turned around, one hand behind her back as usual, and the other hand was still holding her hand tightly.
The man had already run up to him: "Qi Xiaolang, do the martial arts schools still accept children?"
Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows.
This time in the martial arts school, it was definitely a blockbuster.
For several days, people from neighboring villages and even towns rushed to send their children here.
Therefore, another business has spawned in the village, that is, if some children are well-raised, their families or servants will come to accompany them, and they rent a house in the village to live in.
This is true even in the town, let alone the people in this village.
Those who had sent their children away and then brought them back after feeling distressed all felt regretful and tried every means to send their children back in again.
But Qi Jing was a man who refused to take soft and hard advice. No matter how much these people cried and begged, they all refused without hesitation.
There were even many people who begged Tang Shiyue, but Tang Shiyue also declined.
Later people saw this scene with their own eyes and became more cautious about it. Therefore, few of the children recently admitted dropped out midway.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was already half a month later when Tang Shiyue returned to Tangjia Liquor Shop.
In fact, in line with the principle of employing people without suspicion and distrusting people with suspicion, she rarely came to the wine shop. She only stopped by when she had cooked something fresh and delivered it, or when she wanted to buy something.
She was sitting inside looking at the accounts when a waiter came in and said: "Master Tang, there is a man outside making a bet that you will treat him to a drink. A group of people surrounded the shop and refused to leave."
Tang Shiyue asked: "Who is it?"
"He didn't say anything," the waiter scratched his head and said, "He just said he knew Mr. Tang. I don't think he was lying."
Tang Shiyue raised his eyebrows: "Then let me go and have a look." He came out on the side.
There was a tall man in coarse cloth, one hand on the counter, joking with people outside. Tang Shiyue only saw his messy hair and beard.
Then he turned his head, Tang Shiyue's eyes lit up, and she shouted in surprise: "Ayi? Are you back?"
Han Yi smiled at her and said outside: "I told you earlier! The owner of Tangjia Liquor Shop will definitely treat us to a drink!"
Tang Shiyue was so happy.
This bastard has been gone for more than two months. Although Mrs. Ye didn't say anything, she was probably worried. Even she was a little worried. He was the leader of the gangsters. If she was tricked into going out and died, she would really feel guilty.
So she tolerated the man's pretense and said with a smile: "Please, Boss Han said please, of course I will."
At the same time, he motioned to the waiter to bring out a jar of wine, and these people directly scooped it up and passed it around one by one to drink.
Tang Shiyue glanced at them and saw that these people had rough expressions, curly beards and wild hair, and were dressed in a grassland style. They were probably not locals. They seemed to be familiar with Han Yi and were very comfortable getting along with them.
While they were drinking, Han Yi slightly leaned towards her, as if he had something to say.
Tang Shiyue subconsciously leaned over and heard him smile: "Are you so happy to see me back?"
Huh? He even flirted with her?
Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows and looked at him. Han Yi looked at her, laughed twice, and then quickly finished his speech, "I got the wool back, about three thousand kilograms. These people are traders who are used to running on the grassland. They are now I'm going to Chang'an, and I've made an agreement with them to come back and give me a letter. If you want it, I can buy another batch before the year."
His breath smelled slightly of alcohol, and Tang Shiyue calmly gave way.
That’s why I said that if you want to flirt, just flirt with the uncle, right? The feeling of hormones in a mature man is really not something that a handsome boy like Qi Xiaolang can have.
Han Yi gave a brief introduction to both parties, and then left directly with the people. Tang Shiyue's mule cart followed all the way. When they arrived at Sifang Restaurant, she told the waiter and made a good banquet for them.
Of course you can do it with money, but this is a card!
Shopkeeper Shen was worried that he had no place to please her recently. When he saw that she was willing to take the initiative to look for him, he suddenly felt that there was a bright future ahead. The reception was very attentive, which invisibly added a lot of weight to Boss Han.
Tang Shiyue returned to the village first and told Granny Ye.
The two of them waited until the beginning of Haishi (21 o'clock) before Han Yi rushed over.
He was not particular about it, so he sat down and drank a cup of tea, then took out his knife and shaved himself, while answering Mrs. Ye's questions.
When it got late and Mrs. Ye went to bed, Han Yi said to Qi Jing, "Thank you. It's all thanks to your letter this time."
When they first arrived in Lanzhou, everything actually went smoothly.
They did not rely on Hu Cheng, but wanted to find out for themselves first. After all, Tang Shiyue wanted to do it for a long time.
Gangsters have their own ways. Han Yi and the others first familiarized themselves with the local situation and inquired about the news.
Gradually, I found my way around it, found the right people, and got to know the reputations of various merchants.
It was almost time to find Hu Cheng and formally contact those people, but in the end... something happened, and it was because of this gangster style.
As soon as they left, they actually bowed to the top of the mountain, indicating that we were passing by and it was convenient.
As a result, they followed up with a series of actions, which aroused their suspicion, thinking that they were trying to seize territory, so the local gangsters set up a bureau. After the riot, they alerted the local government and arrested two of their people.
At that time, Han Yi wanted to rescue the people first, but those people stared and refused to let him go. In desperation, Han Yi broke into their lair and wanted to gamble with their boss.
Gambling with knives is a rule in gangster circles. It is similar to how modern people use a gun to test an empty box. They use several boxes or bottles, half of which contain knives, or there is only one without a knife, and ask someone to pick one and open it. If a knife comes out, stab yourself.
Tang Shiyue was very engrossed in listening to it, and she even whispered nervously.
Qi Jing said calmly: "Did you win the bet?"
"It doesn't matter," Han Yi said: "I have a good ear. When they put knives in it, I could tell which bottle the knives were in. Then I took a gamble and went straight over and pointed out all the knives."
He chuckled: "You are a gangster on the road. Sometimes you have to fight for momentum, and sometimes it depends on luck. In the end, Qian Hou, the boss of their side, believed in me, and then I made a friend."
"But we have made friends, and the government is not actually bribed by them. I suddenly remembered that the person you mentioned was here, so I tried to go there. The old man was very polite and asked what you have been doing recently. Well...anyway, the government released the person the next day."
He sighed a little: "It was a false alarm. Looking back, it's quite interesting."
Tang Shiyue asked him: "Do you still dare to go?"
"Of course I dare," Han Yi said with a smile: "If I go there in the future, it will definitely be smoother than this time. You will know many things once you go there, and it will definitely be smoother each time."
He turned to look at her, his eyes a little bright: "Brothers are also happy, we are also people who can do serious things."
Tang Shiyue smiled and said: "Then let me make you more happy. I have just made this wool. It is the first time and it is difficult to calculate the profit. Everyone who goes this time will be given a hundred taels of silver for their hard work. Wait.
Next time, I will calculate the profit for you, and for the people you bring, I will give you half of the errand fee."
Han Yi tilted his head with a strange look in his eyes: "Half-performed, how many can there be?"
Tang Shiyue raised his head and calculated.
The wool at this time cannot be very thin, so usually an adult sweater can use about two kilograms of thread, woolen pants can also use two kilograms, plus socks and hats, etc., it can be calculated as five kilograms.
You know, nowadays there are many luxury clothes, and there are hundreds and thousands of taels. This set is just for novelty. It will definitely sell for a few dozen taels. Even if it sells for two hundred taels, someone will buy it.
Calculating it as a hundred taels, excluding dyeing, labor, etc., the net profit must be eighty taels. This trip was two to three thousand jins. Six people came, and each person was close to 300 taels. (To be continued)
