Shi Yehui stood at the door looking at Song Tianyao pitifully. Song Tianyao complained to him too many times. When he first met Song Tianyao, if he scolded him, Shi Yehui might still be scared for a long time and did not dare to gasp, and went back to think about himself. How did he make Secretary Song unhappy, but after too many times, Shi Yehui himself has become accustomed to seeing Song Tianyao being scolded every time. If Song Tianyao gave him a smile and praised him for doing well, he would feel uncomfortable.

So Song Tianyao scolded him for not knowing what he said, and that he couldn't do things like delivering food. He didn't care at all. He held his eye sockets, and said frankly with his head held up:

"According to Secretary Song's instructions, I went to the Xiyingpan Barracks to deliver food to the soldiers. After I took the food to the barracks warehouse for tobacco, alcohol and salt, I came out. Wow, not far from the barracks, a group of grandma stopped the truck and scolded me. Idiot, say I only take a small amount of this, what should I let them do in the future? As soon as I distinguished a few words, a grandma spit at me!"

"Have you beaten that grandma?" Song Tianyao asked Shi Yehui, looking at him.

Shi Yehui lowered his head: "No, she spit at me. Of course I spit at her. Of course she is not as bad as me when she is old. She vomited me, but just after I vomited her saliva, she appeared behind her. When I came to a village to beat the street boy, he was as strong as a cow. He punched me and beat me like this. All the tobacco, alcohol, and groceries in exchange were shared by those grandmothers."

"You're really sharp, I'm like you, Eminem, I can spit on the same old man, and even the goods in exchange can be snatched by the country's grandmother." Song Tianyao grabbed his scalp hard and turned it around twice, right. Master Hui said with a hatred that iron cannot be made of steel.

During this period of time, he is preparing to study and recharge, but whether Lou Fengyun, his parents, Ashuan’s orphan and widow, or Shi Yehui in front of him, there is always something to do, although Song Tianyao can win the title every month. Ya’s account took out eight thousand Hong Kong dollars, and it was more than enough to take care of these people, but Song Tianyao didn’t want these people to be idle. It was not that he was reluctant to spend money to support everyone, but that he always felt that people would only become lazier and lazier. Getting busy with these things can make you look more energetic in life.

Lou Fengyun now sits in a western medicine store every day, just like the big shopkeeper of a western medicine store in England and Germany, ordering goods, keeping accounts, and collecting money by one person, so that Song Tianyao’s mother, Zhao Meizhen, has the title of a name proprietress and only sits rain or shine every day. In the wind and rain corridor outside the door, you can do mahjong and chat with the neighbourhood. You don't even have to do three meals a day. Song Tianyao Laodou Song Chunliang went to Liheng Company once a week to buy goods, and the rest of the time was sitting in a chair with a radio and listening to the radio. Song Wenwen was the least happy because she was recently responsible for cooking and cleaning up the housework for Lou Fengyun and her rare lazy parents.

A Shuan’s wife, Fen’s wife, was placed in a single-storey tenement house on Jordan Road in Kowloon by Song Tianyao and hired a maid, but she was born in a poor family and was not used to the life of the rich and idle. , She has already told Zhao Meizhen and even Song Tianyao over and over again that she does not need a salary, and let her come to the western medicine store to help do things and run errands, just to express her heart.

Wu Xiu'er was taken care of by a maid for three meals a day and housework. Song Tianyao saw that Fen's wife was indeed inactive, so she simply rented the storefront on the first floor of the tenement house where Fen's mother and daughter lived in Jordan Road, Kowloon, and opened a room. The small Wu Ji grocery store is handed over to Fen's wife. In this way, her residence is upstairs and the storefront is downstairs. A woman does not need to travel too far.

As soon as the store opened, Shi Yehui took the initiative to find Song Tianyao on the street, saying that it is enough to have his wife Yun to take care of the western medicine store. It is the wife of Fen's wife, an orphan and widow, who does not know how to read, and I am afraid that she will be easily deceived. It's better for him to help sister Fen take care of the groceries store. The excitement was on his face before he could speak, and he couldn't hide it.

When Shi Yehui spoke, he actually thought that Song Tianyao would not agree, but he did not expect that Song Tianyao actually agreed to let Shi Yehui help Fen's wife, but instead of going to the grocery store, he went to buy those indigenous people in the New Territories countryside every morning. The vegetables sold in the city are then memorized and weighed, and then transported by ship to the Xiyingpan Military Camp on Hong Kong Island to exchange the tobacco, alcohol, salt, sugar and other materials in the hands of the British troops stationed in Hong Kong, and then transport them back to the grocery store for sale.

The reason why Song Tianyao asked Shi Yehui to barter in the British military barracks in Hong Kong was not because of the unreliable mind of reselling British military resources in Hong Kong. One of the business.

The British troops stationed in Hong Kong received various materials that had a huge base in Hong Kong when Japan surrendered, because after Japan captured Hong Kong, it was constructed as a logistics supply base and nursing home for wounded soldiers in Southeast Asia, except for materials supplied by Japan. After the invasion of Southeast Asia, most of the materials plundered were also shipped to Hong Kong. After Japan surrendered, all of this large amount of materials were cheaper for the British troops stationed in Hong Kong.

From time to time, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong handed over ships, machinery, rubber, kerosene, etc. that could not be disposed of at will to the Hong Kong colonial government to help auction them for money, but in addition to the most sought-after materials, all kinds of cigarettes, towels, liquor, and sugar, Daily necessities such as salt are still piled up like mountains in more than 30 warehouses in a dozen barracks in Hong Kong.

Most of these production dates are already seven or even ten years ago. Quartermasters in various British military camps are helpless. Towels, sugar, and salt can still rely on the internal digestion of more than 10,000 British troops stationed in Hong Kong. A small part, but most of the cigarettes are Japanese cigarettes. In addition, they have been stored for too long and the taste is lacking. Even if they are distributed as free benefits, no one who is used to smoking cigarettes made in the United Kingdom is willing to receive it. As for white wine, let the United Kingdom Are these soldiers who are used to smoky whiskey, or fruity brandy or even light beer, drink the pungent alcoholic oriental liquor? It's no different from forcing them to drink poison.

No soldiers wanted to touch these supplies. The food and vegetables in various military camps also began to be in a hurry. As the British expeditionary force stationed in Hong Kong in the Far East, these British soldiers enjoyed the privileges of their families with the army after the war. With the population exceeding 10,000 In addition to expanding the camp area, increasing the number of family houses, and building kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, hospitals, restaurants, shops and other supporting facilities within the military camps, the children of military family members went to Hong Kong. Because the family members are in the army, the salary of these British soldiers is not enough to buy vegetables and food. It is precisely because the family members are in the army. This expeditionary force has increased the salary to ensure that the salary of each British soldier is sufficient for a family in the barracks. The cost of consumption.

The salary received was indeed high, but the barracks did not have enough food and vegetables. The British troops stationed in Hong Kong had all living supplies, including meat, alcohol, and even flour, which were shipped from the United Kingdom or Australia. The British military only To ensure that these 10,000 soldiers have enough supplies, the huge number of family needs are not counted. The reason is that the salaries have been increased for these soldiers. Those salary increases are due to the reasons for the family members to join the army. What does the family need? You can buy it yourself in Hong Kong.

However, Hong Kong does not have much land. Even the rice that the Chinese eat themselves was imported from the mainland and Thailand. After the embargo was issued, the price of rice has risen a lot, causing complaints from the Hong Kong people. As for the flour market in Hong Kong, even more It is monopolized by Australian companies and American companies. It is common for poor people to eat rice, but they rarely can afford flour.

In the past, the vegetables in the various military camps of the British Army in Hong Kong were purchased by the quartermaster in the market. Now the family members of the army have learned to bring their own money to the nearby market to buy vegetables and grain and go home to cook their own meals. They have all been bought and cleaned by family members of the army. The Hong Kong people who sell vegetables are ready to close their stalls, and there are not a few leaves left.

The British army stationed in Hong Kong has only 12,000 people, but the family members of the army have broken the figure of 10,000 including children. The family members of the army have consumed huge amounts of local vegetables, and the restaurants in various military camps now want to do it for the soldiers. A simple vegetable salad cannot be made because there are not enough vegetables.

In desperation, after several military quarters officers in the vicinity of the New Territories asked their chiefs for instructions, they aroused the thoughts of Japanese military supplies, and took the lead in opening the material warehouses and starting a barter with the local people. Vegetables and food were exchanged for tobacco, alcohol, tea and sugar. Originally, the local vegetables and grains of Hong Kong were produced in the New Territories. In their leisure time, rural people would also go to the city to sell vegetables. Now these New Territories people see ghosts using tobacco and alcohol for vegetables. Vegetables and food are no longer in the city, and they are sent directly to the military camp. Two baskets of vegetables are exchanged for two baskets of cigarettes. It is definitely a big profit for the people. The warehouse is no different from waste products. It is a big bargain to be able to exchange two baskets of vegetables.

This kind of happy barter soon spread from the New Territories to Kowloon, and then to Hong Kong Island. The quarters officers of various military camps said that we also have this kind of expired materials that no one wants to keep in the warehouse. They also started bartering. Vegetables and grains were exchanged for materials.

However, the military camps on Hong Kong Island have no advantage, because the people in the New Territories bargain for the greens produced in the New Territories military camp or the Kowloon military camp. The ferry made a special trip to send two baskets of green vegetables to the Guilao soldiers on Hong Kong Island who cannot afford green vegetables.

The Xiyingpan garrison quarters officer, whom no one wants to exchange for supplies, had to lower the price. One basket of vegetables was exchanged for one and a half baskets of cigarettes and alcohol. After the profit was slightly higher, some people would like to get together and come across the sea in one go. Send the vegetables.

Song Tianyao asked Shi Yehui to do a barter business with three military camps on Hong Kong Island. His arrangement was to let Shi Yehui charge the vegetables from rural vegetable farmers in the New Territories at a price better than bartering prices in the New Territories military camps, and then use a minivan to take the cargo ship. Cross sea transportation to the Xiyingpan Military Camp on Hong Kong Island in exchange for tobacco and alcohol supplies.

In fact, Song Tianyao knows that with the bartering trend, the price of expired tobacco and alcohol exchanged in these military camps is no longer worthwhile. It can even be said that the price is about to fall and it is not as good as green vegetables. The reason is that the vegetable farmers get the tobacco and alcohol. Just blindly drop the price and don’t understand the market situation. The former vegetable farmer may sell a cigarette for five Hong Kong dollars, and the latter vegetable farmer can sell all the cigarettes on his hand for four Hong Kong dollars in order to get rid of it more quickly, and then three yuan. , Two yuan, one yuan, after the initial profiteering, there is only a vicious cycle of low-price dumping.

Song Tianyao didn’t want to hoard tobacco and alcohol to make money. He always saw it more far-reaching than those rising to the bottom. The British army’s warehouse would always be emptied. This kind of business wouldn’t last too long. On the contrary, it should be during this period of ordinary people taking the United Kingdom. During the time when a soldier was an idiot, he made good relations with the British garrison and made a loss. It was only thirty or fifty yuan a day. He was still losing money. Rather than losing the money, he hoped to use good business ethics. By maintaining the connections of quartermasters in various military camps, the real business can be carried out in the unilateral procurement of the British army after the materials are emptied.

Today is the first day he asked Shi Yehui to try to barter with the barracks. Song Tianyao has considered a lot of possible details, politeness, simple English phrases, and even in the community that collects vegetable farmers protection fees near the barracks. People, Song Tianyao asked Gao Laocheng to say hello specially, not allowing them to embarrass Shi Yehui.

In the end, Song Tianyao thought that everything had been arranged, but in any case he could not think of bartering. On the first day, Shi Yehui, who was on the street, clutched his bruised eye sockets and ran to see him, telling Song Tianyao that he had not been caught People beat up, but quarreled with and spat at each other with the country's grandmothers. The earned cigarettes and alcohol were not snatched by the people from the rivers and lakes who collected protection fees. Instead, they were snatched by a group of grandmothers.

After listening to Shi Yehui's words, Song Tianyao rubbed his face vigorously and covered with his hands. Neither Shi Yehui nor Meng Wanqing could see Song Tianyao's facial expressions. They could only hear Song Tianyao's voice loud enough but he was obviously so angry that he shouted with a weak tone. :

"Pu You Amu! I can calculate the plan of the four Zhang family members, I can guess that Fu Yi Xing Zuoguan Jin Ya Lei is thinking about ghosts! I can't think that you can run to the street and deliver food. Country grandma spat! You came to ask me, just to blame me for not expecting grandma to be better than you? Blame me for being stupid! Black Xinhua would die so early, mostly because of your chronic murder! I really can’t guess at all. You, hit the street! Get away!"

Shi Yehui was stunned by Song Tianyao's scolding, but he insisted on standing still on the spot with his feet, and refused to roll away as instructed. When Song Tianyao finished scolding, he said cautiously: "Secretary Song, it's better to let the guy I rescued be with me. To transport the food? He has been injured a lot and has nothing to do. Although he is a little lame, he keeps boasting that he is good at hitting and looks very bluff. He will deliver the food with me to ensure that he will not be snatched by the grandmothers again. ."

"No problem, you can send it with you, you can stay away from me now, hurry up, I don't want to see you." Song Tianyao pointed at the stairs behind Shi Yehui and said with a weak tone and a numb expression.

After obtaining Song Tianyao’s consent, Shi Yehui turned and ran downstairs. He had just walked over the corner of the stairs and his face was already a silly smile. He clenched his fists in his hand, and muttered to himself: "The death of Pu your Eminem." Lumping on the street lame dragon, limping all day to catch eels, and when I came back, I gathered around Fen's wife to please me! This time I asked Secretary Song to send you the food with me! Even Secretary Song could not guess that I was thinking of a ghost. , I am very sharp, I will tie you by my side and stare at you every minute!"

Who said that little people have no great wisdom?
