"Master, you killed someone, why don't we run away?" Ah Fu said as he followed Qin Hao tremblingly.
Qin Hao shook his head indifferently. If it were two years ago, he would definitely run away.
Although Yuan Shikai will be notorious in later generations, he has to admit that he still did a lot of practical things during his time, such as establishing the earliest police system in the mainland and greatly improving social security.
But since Yuan Shikai’s death two years ago, the civil war between the Beiyang warlords has almost destroyed the entire social order. There are tycoons and domineering soldiers everywhere, and social security has deteriorated greatly. Such a heinous beggar leader , it’s dead and no one collects the body, who wants to care whether he is dead or alive
Even if the police come to arrest him, Qin Hao is confident of escaping. If he really can’t go south, there is a war with the Beiyang warlords there. Well, the police in Beiyang dare to go to the south to arrest people
The most important thing now is to fill their stomachs first.
"Boss, please bring two kilograms of mutton, six steamed buns, and two bowls of mutton soup."
When the street shop owner heard this, he thought he was a big customer, and was about to answer the call and prepare it. As for the mutton, when I turned around, I found that there were two beggars, one big and one small, and I was immediately upset.
“Let’s go, there’s nothing left for you, beg for food and squat in front of the big restaurant.”
Before the boss finished speaking, Qin Hao threw up a silver dollar and threw it away passed.
"Hey, Yuan Datou, please take a break, you two are coming."
Ah Fu felt so distressed when he saw that Qin Hao was like an ocean as soon as he made a move, and was about to Advising him to save some money, the shop owner had already served hot steamed buns, each of which was as big as the mouth of a bowl.
The aroma went straight from his nostrils to Tianling Gai. At this moment, Ah Fu didn’t bother to dissuade him. He just started, picked up a steamed bun and started to chew it.
Qin Hao picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks and ate it in big mouthfuls. This is what people eat.
"Two guests, please eat your mutton soup and mutton first. If you don't have enough, call me and I will give you change later." The shop owner saw the two of them devouring their food and had no time to talk to him. He was very sensible. Go to the side.
Qin Hao picked up a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste was a bit bland and smelled of mutton. To be honest, it wasn’t very good, but he was so hungry that he didn’t care whether it tasted good or not. Eat, replenish some energy first.
Just when he was eating vigorously, he found that Ah Fu was only eating the steamed buns and occasionally taking a sip of the mutton soup, but he didn't eat a piece of the mutton. He couldn't help but ask.
"Eat, here is mutton."
Ah Fu swallowed his saliva obviously, but said in denial, "Master, you can just eat it, I can't get used to it."< /p>
"Stop talking nonsense to me. There's no one who can't get used to eating meat. Just eat it if you're told to. My words won't work now," Qin Hao said with a straight face.
As expected, Ah Fu still tried the same thing. He picked up a piece of mutton with fear, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. Those who didn't know what he looked like thought he was tasting some delicacies from the mountains and seas.
“Eat, eat more to have the strength to live. ”
Qin Hao’s words made Ah Fu shed tears. Ever since he fled with his family, he has never had a peaceful life. There are soldiers and bandits on the road, let alone eating meat. Luck. He almost died, especially after the death of the old man and his wife. He and the young master were even more frightened, fearing that he might not be careful and the young master would be killed by the hungry and red-eyed victims.
"Okay. , Why are grown men crying? If I have something to eat from now on, you won’t be hungry. "Qin Hao patted Ah Fu on the shoulder. Even though he only used a small amount of force, the other person's shoulders collapsed and almost fell down. His body was really too weak.
"Boss, please do this. Have another one like this"
"Okay. ”
The shop owner was stunned as he watched. It was just an adult, but the child actually ate more than the adult. Twelve steamed buns were enough for an adult doing hard work on weekdays. Four, not to mention four pounds of mutton.
“You two have eaten, here is the change for you.
Ah Fu took the copper plate handed over by the shop owner, counted it several times, and muttered, "I ate half an ocean in one meal. Master, we can't eat like this in the future." "
When Ah Fu was counting the copper plates, Qin Hao also counted them. There were sixty-two in total, which means that one silver dollar is equivalent to about one hundred and twenty copper plates, which is indeed not cheap.
p>But it’s normal. Meat is a luxury product for ordinary people these days.
“Let’s go and find a place to buy some clothes and take a shower. ”
After eating and drinking, Qin Hao could no longer bear the strange smell of clothes on his body. He went to the clothing store under the leadership of Ah Fu. As a beggar, Ah Fu still knew something about Jinmen. Wherever there are restaurants and restaurants, wherever dignitaries hang out, he knows where to look.
On the way, most of what Qin Hao saw were low wooden houses or loess houses, and there were no ordinary people passing by on the street. They were all skinny, almost never seeing fat people, and most of the people felt bad about Qin Hao. Everyone's eyes were straight. How to describe it, it was like they had lost hope in life, like a corpse. The Walking Dead.
As we walked to the street where we could see the small western-style buildings in the distance, the pedestrians on the road gradually became more diverse. There were rickshaw drivers pulling rickshaws all over the street, and there were also people with big bellies who were so fat that they still hugged each other. The tycoons with voluptuous figures and swaggering around the market are naturally indispensable for the salesmen who speak various dialects.
“Master, this is the store. This store is cheap, the materials are good, and they are durable. ”
“Well, this is it. "
Qin Hao is not picky, as long as he can change out of these dirty clothes.
"Alas, you have some discernment. If you are a beggar, go to the restaurant. We are here. But there was nothing to eat. "The clerk of the ready-made clothing store shouted impatiently when he saw the two beggars, one big and one young, about to rush in.
Qin Hao didn't take it seriously, after all, they didn't look like they were dressed like this. Those who can afford clothes, so they move towardsAh Fu winked.
Ah Fu understood this and straightened his waist and took out a silver dollar from the belt around his waist. However, he was reluctant to throw the silver dollar directly to the waiter like Qin Hao, so he just weighed it in his hand. .
The waiter looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Is this silver dollar real?"
Afu argued, "How can this be fake?"
" You can't tell, there are a lot of fake Yuan Datou these days."
"Here, let's see if it's real."
The guy picked it up and blew it for a while. A clear sound of vibration sounded, and his attitude immediately became more respectful. "Hey, you two, where are you in trouble? Please come in."
"Humph." Ah Fu followed the waiter dissatisfied. He took the silver dollar back in his hand and followed Qin Hao into the clothing store.
"Young master, look at all the clothes here that are suitable for you." The waiter introduced them eagerly.
Qin Hao was secretly amused. Co-author of the Republic of China also knew that children's business was easy to do, and clothing stores had dedicated children's clothing sections.
"Let's take these three sets first, Ah Fu. You can also take three sets and I will help you choose."
After saying that, Qin Hao refused to let Ah Fu refuse at all. Opportunity, I walked straight to the men's clothing area, but to be honest, these clothes were older in both style and color. They looked gray, and there was nothing to choose from. I chose three sets at random. When I checked out, they were actually quite expensive. One ocean was not enough, so more than forty copper coins were added.
When he walked out of the clothing store, Ah Fu kept saying that he was too wasteful and would not dare to spend like this in the future.
The next moment, Qin Hao found an inn, bought a room, and spent more than 20 copper coins, which made Ah Fu feel so distressed that he almost shed tears.
"Ah Fu, go buy some lime and ask the store to boil some hot water."
"Oh." Ah Fu didn't know why but still followed Qin Hao's request. Lime was bought.
After returning to the room, Ah Fu saw Qin Hao pouring hot water into the bath bucket, and then poured some cold water. He also tried it with his hands, and then started pouring it into the bath bucket. lime.
When the lime gradually melted, Qin Hao stripped naked and jumped in. He also sank his whole body into the bucket and it took him a while to get up.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Qin Hao closed his eyes and said slowly, "Repelling insects."
As a modern person, Qin Hao But you can't stand lice and fleas crawling around in your hair and body, so deworming is a must.
Conditions were limited, and there was no ready-made anthelmintic, so we had to use lime water instead. Although it would cause some damage to the skin, it was still better than carrying a louse running around.
Qin Hao soaked for half an hour. When he came out, there was a layer of black dots floating on the water in the tub.
After that, Qin Hao asked Ah Fu to get hot water, and Meimei took a hot bath before putting on the clothes she just bought.
"You also go in and bubble."
"Master, I won't use it anymore"
Qin Hao said angrily, "I finally got these bugs off my body. Do you want to pass them on to me?"
< p>"My young master" Ah Fu couldn't argue."Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry in, remember to follow me from now on, and take a shower at least once every three days."
"Oh."
After Ah Fu finished soaking and washing, Qin Hao checked again and found that there were indeed no bugs, so he asked him to put on new clothes.
"Master, we can't just sit there and eat nothing. We have to do something to make a living. We can't afford to make money like this."
While eating dinner, Ah Fu persuaded him earnestly.
Qin Hao nodded. The money he robbed was spent quickly. In this way, two oceans were gone in a day. The remaining three oceans really couldn't be spent like this.
"Well, you saw the mutton soup shop today. If we can make mutton that tastes ten times better than that, do you think we can make money?"
When Ah Fu thought about the taste of the mutton, his mouth watered. It was ten times better than that mutton soup restaurant. He couldn't imagine how delicious it was. He nodded subconsciously, and then said blankly.
“But, Master, I don’t know how to make mutton soup.”
“You can’t, but I can”
Ah Fu looked at Qin Hao , scratching his head. In his memory, Qin Hao was a child who grew up being held in the palm of his hand. Let alone a cook, he used to be fed by maids, so how could he suddenly fight and cook again?
"The master and his wife must have spirits in heaven to protect the young master."
Turn around, Qin Hao led Ah Fu around to look at the shops. Three oceans in daily life is naturally a Quite a few, but opening a shop is not that simple. Shop rent, ingredients, and ingredients all cost a lot of money.
The monthly rent of a good shop is more than three yuan, but Qin Hao doesn't care. He is confident that he can conquer customers with his taste.
Finally, after some haggling, Qin Hao spent an ocean to rent a shop of only about ten square meters. At the corner of the street, there was very little traffic on weekdays. The owner of the shop next door used a kind of look. Qin Hao looked at Qin Hao with fool's eyes.
Later, Qin Hao bought half a sheep at the vegetable market and bought some spices.
When I returned to the shop, I set up a large iron pot and started cooking. As the aroma of the mutton gradually spread, it attracted many diners to stop.
"Boss, how do you sell the mutton soup and mutton?"
Ah Fu took the spatula and carefully skimmed off the floating foam, and asked Qin Hao to give it to him Naturally, he completed the task meticulously. Seeing that the customer mistook him for the boss, Ah Fu quickly explained.
"This gentleman, I am the waiter here, and my young master is the boss."
The customer took a deep breath and said impatiently, "I don't care who of you is the boss." , let’s talk about how to sell this mutton soup.”
“Five copper coins a bowl of mutton.”Soup, mutton costs thirty coppers and half a catty. "Qin Hao said calmly.
"Hey, you must be a black shop. The price is so expensive, and other people's prices are only half of yours. "The customer almost jumped up on the spot.
Qin Hao said calmly, "I don't care what other people's prices are. Mine is a secret recipe leaked from the palace, and this is the price. ”
The customer has no doubts. Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many secret recipes have been spread to the people. Besides, the fragrance of this mutton soup can be smelled from a long distance. He can be regarded as a eater who has eaten all over the country. , I have never encountered such a fragrant mutton soup. It is a bit expensive, but it is nothing to eat just this time.
"Okay, give me a bowl first. Mutton soup, half a pound of mutton"
"Wait, it's not done yet, it needs to be simmered for another half hour. "
"Okay, then I'll go for a walk first. ”
“Come early, otherwise I won’t be able to leave it for you if it’s sold out soon. "
The worse Qin Hao's attitude is, the more customers think this mutton soup is unusual.
" Otherwise, I will give you the money first, and you can keep it for me. . "
Seeing someone taking the lead, the customers watching on the sidelines were also aroused. Soon Ah Fu collected a lot of money. All three tables in the shop were full, waiting for the sheep. The soup was boiling.
Half an hour later, the lid was lifted, and a strong aroma of meat spread, making the customers who had been waiting for a long time move their index fingers and become unable to sit still. < /p>
"Come on, buddy"
"Bring me two bowls of mutton soup. "
"I'll have a bowl too. ”
In just one hour, half of the big pot of mutton soup was sold out. Some customers could only squat beside them with their bowls to eat, but this did not prevent them from showing satisfaction on their faces. Smile, no matter what time of day, eating is always the happiest thing.
After the stall was sold out, Ah Fu counted the money excitedly in the temporary rented house at night, and ended up counting it several times. It’s a clear count.
“Master, we earned five yuan in one day. "
Ah Fu was so excited that his originally sallow face turned rosy.
Qin Hao waved his hand indifferently, "Where are you going now? I will make money in the future. The days are still long. ”
“Ah Fu, what do you want to do most after making money?”
“Well” Ah Fu thought for a long time, and when Qin Hao asked, his face was filled with embarrassment. Turning red, he choked out one last sentence: "Marry a good wife." ”
Qin Hao was happy, well, he really wanted to have enough food and clothing, and he started to think about women just after eating.
The business of the mutton soup restaurant is getting better day by day, from the very beginning After half a sheep, two sheep were not enough to sell, which attracted many diners.
Of course, there were also jealous people who came to make trouble.
On this day, as soon as Qin Hao and Ah Fu set up their stall, a group of big men surrounded them.
“Boy, if you want to do business here, have you visited the pier beforehand?”
Afu asked naively, "What do you mean by visiting the dock?"
"Young master, why are you trying to show off to me? This is Mr. Jin's territory. If you are doing business, you must hand over protection." Do you understand?"
The strong man grabbed Ah Fu's collar fiercely and was about to lift him up. At this time, a hand clasped the strong man's wrist.
"I want to say no," Qin Hao said coldly.
