Chapter 268 Farming is not easy

Sumitomo Store mainly sells food and deals in daily necessities.

It must be said that the shops at Jemulpo Port have a unique and exotic feel that belongs to this era.

Especially the dazzling array of goods on the display cabinets. Those handicrafts will be left to future generations, and they can be sold casually for 1,800 yuan.

Zhao Chuanxin saw the exquisite Japanese tea sets, the teapot made of multiple layers of copper sheets welded together, and the drip tray that collected the dripping water from the tea cups.

There are stoves, wine barrels, and cooking utensils for heating or cooking

A lantern with strong Korean-style decoration, like a street lamp, consists of a copper bracket and lampshade.

In Zhao Chuanxin's view, many of the things here already have collection value. < /p>

After all, there are many shops to visit, not to mention many trips back and forth between the mainland and the island.

He had to put on a show to reduce suspicion and not reveal his secrets in advance.

He originally thought that this thing should be cheap.

Unexpectedly, the clerk startled Zhao Chuanxin when he said, "Sir, this copper pot sells for 125 yen."

Zhao Chuanxin took a breath." Why don't you go and grab it?"

A trace of contempt flashed in the clerk's eyes.

Spoken but polite and patient, "That's right, sir, this copper kettle is completely handmade. Do you see the hammer pattern on it? It is hammered out by the craftsman, which is time-consuming and laborious. In Japan, only nobles and temples can enjoy it."

Cao Zhao Chuanxin realized that the handicrafts at this time were also luxury goods.

I wanted to send it back, but in the end I gritted my teeth.

Reluctant to give up the child, there is no way to trap the wolf. Only by spending generously can the suspicion be eliminated in the end.

Anyway, the value of the goods purchased has increased countless times.

No longer hesitating, he paid the bill, "125 yuan, no change required."

No matter how good-tempered the clerk was, he finally couldn't help but roll his eyes.

After leaving the door, the two snot-nosed kids clicked their tongues and shook their heads, "Mr. Zhao, this teapot is too expensive, there is no need to buy it."

125 yuan is enough for them to last for who knows how long. , I’m afraid it will be calculated on a yearly basis.

Zhao Chuanxinrou said painfully, "You know I'm riding a tiger. You don't have to follow me. I'll give you two xiaoyang and find a restaurant to eat. I'll be back after I finish shopping in a while. Looking for you."

Snivell"

The shops in front are one after another, row upon row, there is no need for them.

Always carrying two dirty snot-nosed babies is too eye-catching.

Zhao Chuanxin bought tempura wrapped in cod meat at a roadside food stall, wrapped it in paper, and sizzled as he ate it.

Just out of the frying pan, my mouth is still a little hot.

He strolled into the lantern room.

This shop seems a lot more formal.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, paintings, pottery, lacquerware, girl's clothing and ribbons, etc.

In fact, personally speaking, Zhao Chuanxin's character is more literary, at least he thinks so.

So, he quite likes visiting this kind of store.

After coming in, I shopped again, but not much this time. After all, I couldn’t let these personal items take up too much space.

This time he learned the lesson and bought a bottle of ink when he went out. It was really cheap.

After I went out, I bought a bowl of miso soup from a street stall, and I was so dry in two mouthfuls.

The clerk took the money in shock, and Zhao Chuanxin continued to the next store.

The next step was textiles, and Zhao Chuanxian discovered that there was black lace here.

Seeing his surprised look, the clerk explained, "During the Louis XIV period, Louis XIV's great love for lace promoted the development of French lace craftsmanship. After being introduced to Japan, it immediately became popular among the nobles of our Japanese Empire. It's become popular among women. You might as well buy some and bring them to your wife. She will definitely like them."

The clerk is very eloquent and can easily pick up allusions.

The lace patterns here are complex, and the embroidery and hemming are just casual. The colors are even more varied, including black, white, red, green, and blue.

Zhao Chuanxin always felt that except for black lace, other colors would look cheap.

He picked up a piece of lace, with a critical look on his face, "The world is really going downhill, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. Look, what kind of cheap stuff are they selling here? Come and wrap a piece of it for me." , I took it back and criticized it."

The store clerk"

Because the textiles took up space, Zhao Chuanxin went back to find the two snot babies after visiting the store.

The two children did not go out to the restaurant. They just bought fish cakes and some salty chive flowers on the street, and they ate very deliciously.

Perhaps because he was reluctant to eat it all at once, when Zhao Chuanxin came to find it, he was still chewing it carefully.

If this was Xian Yubin, he would wolf it down after a few mouthfuls.

This stuff is made by grinding fish meat into a paste and adding corn flour or potato flour. It is somewhat similar to fish balls. Cut it into small pieces, steam it in a pot, and it becomes a delicious street food.

With the salted chive flowers, it was already a feast for the two snot-nosed kids.

Zhao Chuanxin came over and asked, "Why don't you two go to a restaurant?"

"Mr. Zhao, we don't dare to go in."

Don't look at them I’m familiar with the terrain, but I haven’t actually been to a few restaurants and shops. Most of the time, I just hang out at the door and don't have the guts to go in and out with those well-dressed people.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled.

Seeing that they were a little choked, they went to a store and bought two bowls of ginger soup.

Ginger, green onions, radish, and a little fish are added to form a bowl of clear soup with little water.

"You two have a drink, and we will go back to the dock together after drinking."

These snot-nosed babies were fine when they were young, but when they grow up, they become diarrhoea.

The two of them happily went to drink soup with their toothless bowls filled with runny noses.

As the sun rises, the fog on the sea surface becomes lighter, but it is still difficult to see places that are too far away.

Zhao Chuanxin launched himself into the water from the pier, swam back to Ares Island, and unloaded the cargo in the secret realm all over the beach.

He called Park Seung-yeol over, "Find someone to carry the things back, and I'll go to Jemulpo to get some."

Park Seung-yeol agreed in a daze.

I really don’t know what magic method Zhao Chuanxin used to move so many things back without using a boat.

Suddenly, he picked up a piece of black silk with his finger and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what is this?"

I, Cao, why did you take out this thing?

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly put it away and smiled awkwardly, "Haha, this is poetry and the distance. You are still young, you will understand when you grow up."

But inexplicably, he thought of Miao Cuihua, This kind of coquettish style fabric is most suitable for flower girls.

Imagining the scene of Miao Cuihua wearing lace and black stockings,

Zhao Chuanxin reacted slightly

Many people take it without telling them. , Zhao Chuanxin sued and took it half-heartedly.

Doing this kind of thing gives people a kind of secret joy and pleasure.

Taking what belongs to one's own people is called stealing, taking what belongs to the Japanese is called bringing glory to the country, it is called punishing evil and promoting good, and it is called taking a correct stand.

Moreover, just like a criminal who likes to return to a crime scene and wants to see how things will develop out of curiosity, Zhao Chuanxin changed into a suit and walked past the shop he had patronized again.

It turns out that no one wants to remember a stranger.

He just changed his clothes and the store clerk didn't recognize him.

When Zhao Chuanxin returned for the third time, someone discovered that the goods were missing and called the Korean police.

The police counted the list of lost items and conducted simple inquiries and personnel checks.

It is Zhao Chuanxin's principle to accept things as soon as they are good, and look at the weather when he sees something.

The sun sets in the west, tired birds roost in the trees, fish swim in the abyss, and the work is completed perfectly.

For several days, the God of War team gathered 2,648 people.

Not everyone has the courage to fight the Japanese to the end. Many members of the Guards handed over their guns honestly, took their severance pay, stopped active, and went home to live their lives.

Li Xiuji didn’t come either.

He married a daughter-in-law named Wu Renxing.

Wu Renxing is different from Li Xiuji. She is a refined egoist and never cares about the rise and fall of the country.

She works as a teacher at Jinchu School in Zaining County. Every day, she comes into contact with gentle and gentle intellectuals who are refreshing.

But Li Xiuji, a young man who had returned from studying abroad, was like an extremely impulsive warrior, very stunned.

The two people have different tempers.

Li Xiuji and several recently recruited volunteers were about to leave the village when they met Wu Renxing who was returning from school and get off work.

Wu Renxing saw Li Xiuji hanging around with a few unscrupulous people, sneaking out again, and his face suddenly turned cold, "I've been idle all day, and since I don't want to stay at home, don't come back in the future." "

Li Xiuji was furious, "What did you say, you said I was idle?"

People's beliefs and ambitions are the most intolerable to be slandered by others.

Wu Renxing said nonchalantly, "Yes, I said you are idle."

Li Xiuji's long-simmering anger burst out with huge sparks. I don't know where the wrong tendon in his head was, and suddenly He took out a Colt single-action 1873 revolver and put the muzzle of the gun against Wu Renxing's head.

"Try saying something again"

Wu Renxing turned pale with fright.

Li Xiuji’s companion was dumbfounded and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. “Calm down your anger, I’m so impulsive. If you and your husband have something to talk about, a fight at the head of the bed and a fight at the end of the bed.”

Actually, this is a fight. If you turn the single-action runner and the hammer is not cocked, it will not fire.

Li Xiuji was just passionate and did not really want to shoot.

So he took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, put away his gun and snorted coldly.

But there was some regret in my heart.

At this time, even if the concept of marriage is not the same, you have to muddle along. Family is still more important.

What Li Xiuji wants is just for Wu Renxing to be together.

But Wu Renxing, who has been influenced by the new culture, is not the kind of traditional housewife who follows her husband when she marries, so she cannot do this.

Wu Renxing squeezed out a few tears, turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Running not to the village, but to the outside.

The next day, Wu Renxing found Jin Zhenghong, the principal of Jinchu School, asked for leave and complained to him, told him about Li Xiuji, and said that he would avoid him for a few days to avoid being shot to death by him again.

When he heard that Li Xiuji pointed a gun at his wife, Jin Zhenghong was also a little afraid of this stupid young man.

He did know some brave and ruthless people, such as Jin Jiu, a famous patriotic enlightenment activist at this time.

Jin Jiu's identity at this time was the education director of Haixi Education Federation.

He was once a king. Ten years ago, he met a Japanese spy and killed him in anger. He even drank the blood of the Japanese.

Even though he is wearing glasses and looks polite, he really dares to kill people at critical moments.

Jin Jiu had a rather chivalrous spirit. After hearing this, he went to find Li Xiuji without saying a word.

People like Ri Soo-gil are not afraid of anything, but they respect patriotic people like Jin Gu very much, and they can still listen to what they say.

Jin Jiu said, "Those who achieve great things are magnanimous. No matter what, they cannot threaten their wives with guns and disturb the neighbors. This is a lack of cultivation and short-sightedness. I heard you They recruit volunteers everywhere. I have seen volunteersThey were acting as soldiers, but they were unarmed and threw tiles at the Japanese soldiers. If you can't get things done and make yourself embarrassed, you won't be able to get things done. "

Li Xiuji was quite unconvinced after hearing this. "Mr. Jin, have you heard of the name of the God of War?"

Jin Jiu was stunned. "He recently led the God of War team to defeat the Japanese army." That person?"

"Yes, that's him. I met Mr. Zhao. At first he used the pseudonym Miao Renfeng and we had dinner together. His ambitions and mine hit it off right away. Mr. Zhao can make things happen, why do you say I can’t?"

Jin Jiu still knew the name of Zhao Chuanxin.

He was stunned for a long time. , and then said, “This is different. "

"How is it different?"

"Zhao Chuanxin is a veteran soldier who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He started from a young age but has experienced hundreds of battles, which is why he has achieved today's achievements. But you have never fought in a war before. If you hang out with a bunch of rabble, you won't accomplish anything big. ”

Every man can’t bear to hear that others are better than himself, so Li Xiuji is naturally unavoidable.

But Jin Gu’s words made him unable to argue.

His record is there.

Jin Jiu struck while the iron was hot: "Hideyoshi, you have heard of me. Give this old guy a face today and give me the pistol for safekeeping." After a while, when you feel calmer, come back to me and take the gun back. "

Li Xiuji, who was enthusiastically preparing for a battle with the Japanese army, heard this and was naturally unwilling to hand over his gun.

But Jin Jiu is an old Jianghu after all. While speaking, his eyes were straight. He stared at Li Xiuji.

I didn’t want to hand over the gun, just because I didn’t want to give the old man face.

Li Xiuji couldn’t resist this look, so he handed over the revolver with great reluctance.

Jin Jiu nodded with satisfaction and patted Li Xiuji on the shoulder, "Xiuji, you are still young. Many things cannot be solved with enthusiasm. Think twice before doing anything. ”

After saying that, he left.

Although Li Xiuji handed over the gun to face, he did not take Jin Jiu’s words seriously.

He originally planned to bring someone with him. To assassinate the Japanese army, cause trouble for the Japanese, and even find a way out, wander around the mountainous area of ​​Zhendong in Jiangdong District, and deal with the Japanese army.

However, now, we can only go to find Zhao Chuanxin for help. , asking for a batch of weapons.

Because he heard that Zhao Chuanxin Company has two weapons depots and has sufficient armaments. He thought that if everyone had the same goal, he would ask for some, and Zhao Chuanxin would give him face. < /p>

When he went to Jemulpo and asked the locals about the God of War team, he was targeted by two groups.

One group was a snot kid, and the other group was a gangster. The Japanese flag merchants who tipped off the Japanese army generally refer to the Japanese merchants who trade under the Japanese plaster flag as a trademark.

Zhao Chuanxian’s snot baby. "Intelligence Group", although they are small, they are extremely powerful.

After hearing the news, they rushed to the dock and informed the Ares team members stationed there.

The flag dealer also immediately found the Japanese team patrolling the Myeongdong area of ​​​​Jemulpo.

The one near the water got the moon first. The Japanese army was closer and found Li Xiuji first.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was taking the fertilizer from the chamber pot of the old god to water the food on Ares No. 2 Island.

Follower Xian Yubin took a towel soaked in water, tied it to his nose, and said, "Sir, this is full of sand. If I don't cast the spell one day, will the food stop growing?" ”

Zhao Chuanxian grew corn. After he discovered that the old manure in the old god’s chamber pot was extremely effective in promoting plant growth, he became interested and prepared to experiment.

How fast the grain grows, how high the yield is, and whether it tastes fragrant or smelly are all issues that need to be clarified urgently.

If one day I can no longer survive, it would be good to become a farmer.

"I don't know. The quality of the land on the Ares Islands is not very good. In Ganghwa District, I have seen a lot of land, and the soil is quite fertile. If it works, I will give it to Park Seung-yeol. They have cultivated a base."

In the past, Zhao Chuanxin had seen people planting corn on the sand, piling cow dung and adding chemical fertilizers, and the corn grew well.

The old fertilizer in the chamber pot of the old gods cannot improve the quality of the soil. After all, it is only liquid fertilizer. It can only increase fertility, but it cannot increase water retention in the sand.

"Sir, can you find an island for us and grow food on it. When the time comes, I will take them to farm here and we will have a place to stay."

Children have many problems.

Xian Yubin was talking about those homeless snot-nosed kids.

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at him, "Yes, yes, are you sure? Can you farm? To be honest, I can't even farm if I ask myself."

Farming is a bit of a challenge. None of it is simple.

Plowing, digging holes, planting seeds, burying holes and stepping them firmly, weeding, thinning, and topdressing

In an era without machinery, farming was particularly cumbersome, and it was not just about spring. Planting and harvesting in autumn may take farmers a whole year.

Not to mention anything else, Zhao Chuanxin felt that none of these snot-nosed children could hold the plow stick, and no one knew how to control the old ox.

This little bit of land in front of us was dug out by the God of War team and a few people working together to pull the plow manually.

Xian Yubin couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought about it.

Apart from hating the Japanese and some Koreans, he actually doesn’t have much ambition. His current pursuit is to have enough to eat every day.

But it seems that having enough food is the most difficult thing.

The old god's chamber pot will lose its lateral force after shaking the wrist at three points. Zhao Chuanxin does not need to maintain the stability of the lower body and the shaking of his hands.

Chasing the spring sea breeze, he ran back and forth on the sandy land where the furrows were not deep, and the smelly liquid was evenly sprinkled.

He was almost bored with such a simple job.

With about a fifth left, the savior arrived.

A member of the God of War team rowed a boat to land on the God of War 2 Island. "Mr. Zhao, there is a letter from Jemulpo saying that a man named Lee Soo-gil is looking for you."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately shook his mouth three times and put away the chamber pot of the old god.

He gave himself an excuse not to work. This is not because I am lazy. I really have something to do, so I stopped the big business of top dressing only when I had to.

"Did anyone bring it?"

"No, the children on the shore said that the Japanese were also targeting him."

Zhao Chuanxin scolded He said, "This idiot must be asking around in a big way."

"Mr. Zhao, what should we do?"

"Go to Ares Island, call a company, and ask them to bring their weapons. Landing secretly at the dock. I'll go to the other side to check the news first."

"Yes"

The members of the God of War team saluted in the manner of the guards and hurriedly rowed the boat. Back to Ares Island.

The Ares Islands were named by Zhao Chuanxin.

The small islands No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 are surrounded by stars surrounding the God of War Island.

Zhao Chuanxin has used sand to build defense facilities on each island these days to ensure that when enemies invade, there will be bunkers to resist and that he can advance and retreat calmly between these islands.

After arranging the God of War team, he took the lead and jumped into the sea and swam towards Jemulpo Pier. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
