Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    No matter how you say it, Fan Datong and Zhao Shouzheng are friends who can talk together.

    After witnessing his father¡¯s heartbreak last night, Zhao Hao would naturally not really drive away this ¡®only friend¡¯ that Zhao Shouzheng said.

    He then went back to his room, guarding the one hundred kilograms of precious brown sugar, and carefully considered how to prepare for tonight and tomorrow.

    After he had thought up the overall plan, Fan Datong finally stood up and left in the room.

    "Huh" Zhao Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, and he could finally start work!

    ??~~

    The father and son were still doing what they did the day before, one making a fire and the other boiling sugar.

    To be on the safe side, Zhao Hao divided one hundred kilograms of sugar into ten batches.  Even if you miss, the loss will not be too great.

    But in this case, the father and son are destined to fight all night again.

    The father and son were chatting casually while working mechanically.

    ¡°This friend of my father is very It¡¯s hard to describe in words.¡± At first, Zhao Hao felt that this person was shameless and only wanted to fight against the autumn wind.  But he didn't expect that he could go all over the world to find Zhao Shouzheng to pay back the money.

    "Hey, Brother Fan Xian is actually a very good person," Zhao Shouzheng added firewood and slowly shook his head: "His family used to have quite a lot of money, and he spent a lot of money on us."

    "What about his money? Did he gamble? Is he still the same as us?" Zhao Hao asked curiously.

    "Can a good person gamble?" Zhao Shouzheng said to Zhao Hao with rare seriousness: "Son, you can do anything in the future, but you can't get involved in gambling!"

    "I know, I know." Zhao Hao nodded helplessly, which really made Zhao Shouzheng nagging him. He couldn't even think about living in peace tonight.  "Let's talk about your brother Fan Xian."

    "He is a poor man. His family originally had some property, but he did not pay much attention to his career. After his parents passed away, there was no one to supervise him, so he spent all day traveling around with his classmates to study."

    The stove fire reflected on Zhao Shouzheng's face, making his eyes sparkle. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to the days when he was in his prime, when dreams were horses.

    Zhao Hao knew at a glance that there must be Mr. Zhao among those people.  The so-called study tour is nothing more than traveling around the world.

    "What happened next?" He interrupted Zhao Shouzheng's memory.

    "Later, his wife stayed alone in the empty house for a long time, and actually became friends with his housekeeper. The two of them hooked up behind his back, and also wiped out his family property. In his name, he borrowed two thousand taels of silver, and then  Missing."

    Zhao Hao smacked his lips when he heard this and had to admit: "It's so miserable."

    "Yes, he has been depressed since then and has become more and more uninhibited. He spends his days seeking different ways to have fun. If he has money, he spends it in a blink of an eye. If he doesn't have money, he goes around and gets rich."

    Zhao Shouzheng sighed and said with some self-pity and self-pity: "Just like my father now, everyone avoids me."

    "Quickly put down the fire, or the pot will burn!" Zhao Hao suddenly shouted.

    Zhao Shouzheng has been able to serve the Stove Lord skillfully these days. Hearing this, he immediately pulled out most of the firewood.

    The fire in the stove immediately decreased a lot, and Zhao Hao hurriedly scooped out the cooked sugar paste, so as not to waste the pot of sugar

    ??~~

    The father and son worked hard until daylight and burned all the firewood before turning one hundred kilograms of brown sugar into white sugar.

    The two of them carefully put the sugar into a cloth bag. Zhao Shouzheng weighed it and said, "Thirty kilograms are enough."

    "It's okay." Although Zhao Hao was not satisfied with the conversion rate, when he thought about how much thirty pounds of sugar was worth, what else could he complain about?

    Now even Zhao Shouzheng realized how big a fortune this was.  He was eager to try: "Are we going to sell it now?"

    "Let's go." Zhao Hao also couldn't wait any longer.

    "We have to hire a bodyguard this time." Zhao Hao still had fresh memories of Zhao Shouzheng being slaughtered last time, and wanted to hire a doorman to scare the small profiteers.

    Zhao Shouzheng naturally knew everything, so the father and son picked up the cloth bags and went to the blacksmith shop in front to find Gao Wu.

    Gao Wu had been waiting at home for a long time. When he saw Zhao Hao coming, he stepped forward to take the bag.

    "Wait!" Zhao Hao looked Gao Wu up and down, feeling something was wrong.

    Gao Wu was so frightened by the sight that he scratched his head.

    "Why do you feel that you are different today?" Zhao Hao touched his chin and looked at Gao Wu strangely, seeing that he was neatly dressed and looked very decent.

    Then I heard Gao Tiejian chuckle and say: "After all, I am going out with the young master. I can't embarrass the young master, so I let him change into New Year's clothes."

    "I'm telling you!" Zhao Hao suddenly realized, hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Quickly change it."??Wear what you normally wear.  "

    Gao Wu nodded and went into the inner room without saying anything.

    After a while, Gao Wu came out wearing his usual coarse cloth singles and trousers.  He is a member of the Lian family. Not to mention that it is already the end of February, he is still dressed like this even in the coldest month of winter.

    "Don't you usually like to roll up your trouser legs and open your arms?" Looking at Gao Wu's trouser legs that he had lowered and buttoned up, Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Just return to the original shape."

    Gao Wu followed his instructions and rolled up his trouser legs, revealing his calf muscles as solid as iron.  He opened his arms again, and the seven or eight scars of different depths on his sharply angular abdominal muscles and chest muscles were particularly ferocious.

    ¡°Coupled with the scar on his face, no one would doubt that he was the bandit leader.

    ¡°Otherwise, Zhao Hao wouldn¡¯t have been frightened to the point of peeing that day.

    "Well, this is the style I want!" Zhao Hao clapped his hands with satisfaction and said, "Let's go!"

    ??~~

    The three of them said goodbye to Blacksmith Gao and walked south along Caijia Alley, all the way to Gulouwai Street, and arrived at the 'Tang Ji Nan Goods Store'.

    Zhao Hao thought carefully last night that buying candy should be divided into many families so that it can be kept secret.  But the situation is reversed when selling sugar. The fewer buyers there are, the easier it is to keep the secret.

    After much thought, he decided to take action all at once here.

    After pondering for a moment outside the store, Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shouzheng and said, "How about asking father to look out for the wind?"

    "Ah, my son doesn't need to be so tactful. My father knows that he is not bargaining material." Zhao Shouzheng has indeed grown up in pain, and he is quite self-aware and said: "I won't go in and cause trouble."

    Zhao Hao gave a thumbs up and praised his father.  Then he was asked to sign on two pieces of white paper, and then he and Gao Wu entered the Tang Ji Nan goods store.

    ??~~

    In the Nanhuo store, the fat boss was taking inventory with the guys.

    Suddenly, everyone felt that the light in the store became dim.

    Looking blankly at the door of the store, he saw an eight-foot-tall scarred man walking in menacingly, with his trouser legs rolled up and his arms exposed, exposing his sinews with criss-crossed scars.

    The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense, and several waiters secretly held the whistle sticks leaning against the counter.

    "May I ask, sirwhat are you doing for me?" the shopkeeper asked bravely.

    But the giant man didn't say a word, just staring at everyone with a pair of copper bell-like eyes.

    Everyone in the store was immediately terrified and had the urge to run away.

    The fat boss held on to the counter with a dry mouth and said: "This good man, if you have something to say, please don't hurt anyone's life"
