Chapter 82 Xie Daxia
The tide was flat on both sides of the bank, and the merchants on the entire sailboat were trembling as they looked at the man standing on the bow in front of them.
Saying this, he took a step back, looked at the boat full of merchants in front of him, stretched out a hand, and bowed politely: "Everyone, please." It can only be said that the
Seventeen Thieves of the Yellow River are well-known. The entire sailboat was overturned, and two boatmen were lying at their feet. It could be said that they were very intimidating. So Shang Jiuge watched the guests on the boat lined up in a row, and one by one they went up and placed the silver ingots on the silver stamps. Weigh it, throw it into the box, and then go to another box to pick up those crude wooden signs as if they are treasures.
Of course, for these river pirates, these river god wooden plaques themselves are their money to buy their way, and they are also proof of life when sailing on the Yellow River.
It can only be said that the seventeen thieves of the Yellow River have a vicious vision. They don't rob ordinary fishing boats. They know that those fishing boats have a few fish and are very poor. And these sailing boats carrying passengers are full of merchants, or in other words, they are rushing to take exams. To be honest, most students are willing to buy their lives with money, and they are not asking for all your wealth, but just one tael of silver. One tael of silver will guarantee your safety, and What a bargain.
So those who got the river god wooden cards were overjoyed, as proud as if they had got the gold medal for immunity from death.
But when they were lined up like this, it was Xie Changfeng and Shang Jiuge's turn.
Shang Jiuge was not afraid at all, but observed with interest as if watching a play. Xie Changfeng was not afraid either, because he was rich.
He took out two thumb-sized silver ingots from his arms and pushed them gently on the table: "The girl behind me and I have two river god cards." The
man who collected the money looked at Xie Changfeng, who was dressed as a scholar, and him. Behind him is Shang Jiuge, who is wearing shabby clothes. Shang Jiuge still carries the mud-covered stick. He really looks like a little beggar.
"Who is she to you?" Everyone looked at Shang Jiuge.
Xie Changfeng didn't expect that the other party not only collected money, but also asked questions. He was immediately stopped by the question, but he thought quickly as he was studying: "This girl is Xiaosheng's sister, which makes everyone laugh." "Sister?
" The two people collecting the money looked at each other and couldn't help laughing: "I think she's my sister."
They added an accent to the syllable of a certain word, causing everyone on the boat to burst into laughter, especially The laughter of those who had already received the River God Card was even more harsh and had some flattering meaning.
After all - in their minds, they paid the money and are now on the same side as the Seventeen Thieves.
Only Xie Changfeng and Shang Jiuge did not laugh.
Then the two men continued to look at Shang Jiuge: "You little girl, are you his concubine?" "
What is a concubine?" Shang Jiuge asked sideways, then shook his head: "Forget it, I won't ask anymore. , it's not a good word anyway."
After saying this, Shang Jiuge continued: "I have nothing to do with him, it's just a chance meeting."
"A chance meeting?" The two of them laughed even more after hearing this: "You should Are we two fools? When we meet by chance, he is willing to pay you two taels of silver for the boat fare, and another one tael of silver to pay for the River God?" As soon as he said this, the person who had just bought the River God
card over there The ship's passengers were even more delighted with their laughter: "We all saw it with our own eyes. Just two hours ago, this man named Xie paid for a cabin for this little girl. He was so lonely that he couldn't sleep on the ship and wanted to find some warmth. Bed."
Xie Changfeng was a little embarrassed, but he patted the silver coins in his hand gently on the table: "I just ask you, do you still want to do the business of the River God Card?" "Yes, of course." The two of them
said He smiled, and then looked at Xie Changfeng with amusement: "But I just want to ask you, you and this girl are neither related nor related, why do you pay for her to sacrifice to the river god?" "Can't you just rely on your warm heart
? ?" Xie Changfeng asked.
"Warm-hearted?" The two of them couldn't help laughing. They felt that it was really interesting to meet this pedantic scholar and businessman today.
"Since you have a warm heart." With that said, the leader took a silver ingot from Xie Changfeng. Xie Changfeng couldn't help but look happy, but saw that the man was holding the silver ingot with three fingers. With a little force, the silver ingot was like plasticine in his hand. Kneaded into three petals.
Xie Changfeng was frightened when he saw it, but he heard the man smile sinisterly and said: "Then the rest of the guests on the ship will be paid for by your enthusiasm. What do you think?" " Mr.
Da?"
There are still fifty or sixty customers who have not bought the River God Card, which means that they have to spend fifty or sixty taels of silver. This is not a small amount. Xie Changfeng's total cost of doing business this time is only one hundred taels of silver, not to mention most of them. The goods have been purchased, and the money on hand is only thirty or forty taels. If all these goods are sold, the final profit will be about twenty taels, but if he just goes out to worship the river god, he will spend all his money on it. He couldn't even get enough cash, so he could only make up fifty or sixty taels by selling all the goods on his ship to fellow merchants at low prices.
But in that case, it would really be like being destitute and losing all your money.
Xie Changfeng gritted his teeth: "I don't have that much money on me."
Amid the laughter of those around him who were not too concerned about the fuss, Xie Changfeng continued: "However, I still have money and goods worth about sixty taels in the cabin. If we sell them to Shandong, we can easily make a profit of thirty taels."
"But I am willing to sell these goods here at a discount. In other words, I can take them all away with thirty taels."
At this time, the laughter stopped, No one thought that Xie Changfeng was really willing to do this.
Even the Yellow River Pirate who sold the River God Card was just teasing Xie Changfeng on purpose.
However, Xie Changfeng knew more clearly that this level was inherently sad. As long as he really gave away the fifty or sixty taels of selling goods at a low price, it could be said that this business trip to Shandong would be worth it no matter where he went. If you don't go, you'll lose all your money, so it's better to simply sell all the goods here at a low price and go back to your hometown in Shanxi.
"How brave." The leader of the thieves clapped his hands and laughed: "I wonder among the merchants, who is willing to take the goods of this hero Xie and make him famous?"
He teased Xie Changfeng by calling him from Mr. Big to Daxia Xie The teasing tone almost overflowed.
At this moment, a cold female voice rang out: "That."
Shang Jiuge stood up and smiled softly: "How about I pay for the whole boat to pay tribute to the river god?"
With that said , Shang Jiuge flew up and kicked the thief who had spoken the most just now off the boat.
The girl looked around with a cold smile.
"Is it okay to pay like this?"
