Chapter 320 Chapter 320: A visitor from Tianhai [Requesting monthly votes]
Common people soon discovered that they did not understand the "hobbies of big shots", besides cosmetics and aesthetics, there were other things.
For example -
Competition items.
They have already seen wrestling and other things in advance, and many of them are even "die-hard fans" of certain contestants and covet their bodies in their dreams. Therefore, the wrestling promotion officially begins, and the cheers of these enthusiastic fans can be heard in the sky.
Trying to overwhelm the opponent with his momentum off the court.
But they didn’t understand some of the later competition events.
They really don’t understand and don’t understand.
The competition event is called "riding".
But the "rider" is not a horse but an adult pig.
Twenty players gathered in one place.
As soon as the order is given, we start to set off, and we have to pass through seven or eight different road obstacles on the way. The competition venue is winding and winding, and every obstacle hides a "surprise", such as jumping obstacles, wading, climbing, skating, crossing mud...
The top three players who arrive at the destination first can win According to the ratio of five, three, and two, the twenty fat pigs participating in the competition will be divided. It is said that these fat pigs were all picked and raised by Mr. Shen himself! The meat is delicious and has no fishy smell.
Strange things are always particularly attractive. The common people who were still immersed in the fierce fighting in the first wrestling promotion match were attracted by this project and ran to the "viewing area" pulled out next to the track to catch a glimpse of the pig-riding warriors.
Twenty contestants: “…”
They said that they were forcibly selected to participate in the competition, rather than having some weird hobby of riding pigs. Does anyone believe it? I wanted to participate passively, but when I heard the rewards of the competition clearly, my eyes flashed with a determination to win, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.
First place, ten pigs!
It’s another pig Shen Jun raised with his own hands!
It’s also a big income from selling it!
Although nobles look down on pigs, even slightly richer people disdain to eat this smelly meat, but for the poor people at the bottom, they may not be able to taste meat twice a year. No matter how smelly the pork is, it is still meat! There is also a market.
As for the difference between pigs that have been slaughtered and pigs that have not been slaughtered, not many people have noticed this.
At the command, twenty warriors rode pigs out of the slaughterhouse.
There are many situations during this period.
The people were overjoyed to see it.
Some pigs do not listen to orders at all, lying on the ground and refusing to move, non-violent and non-cooperative; some pigs have a bad temper and want to lift the people off their backs; some pigs attack each other. , jolting the warrior on the pig's back very hard.
It seems that the warrior is anxious.
I wish I could let the pig ride on me to complete the race - anyway, the competition requirement is that one person and one pig reach the finish line at the same time, and there is no requirement for anyone to ride the other. A group of people watching the game trotted along, eager to cross the line and help drag him.
"Run faster, run faster, we will be overtaken!"
"No. 1 pay attention to No. 3 behind you, No. 3 is going to sneak attack!"
Oh, forget Said.
Each warrior holds a stick in his hand that is polished and rounded and wrapped in thick coarse cloth. The stick can be used to poke the enemy player's body, but it cannot attack the player's face, nor can it attack the pig under their crotch. For a moment, there was chaos on the field.
The participating warriors were sweating profusely, and the common people who were accompanying them were shouting hoarsely. The robes of these warriors were also allowed to come out to cheer and cheer - well, maybe it was more of a spectacle.
“For ten pigs!”
“Think about your ten pigs!”
“You must grit your teeth and hold on, dog pillar!”
"There are still three obstacles, roll over the mud!"
"Quick, quick, push down the one in front!"
"Boss, someone fouled!"
The game took more than half an hour in total. The three fastest runners got into a fight before the finish line. In the end, the fourth player was half-backed and half-dragged carrying the pig. They used the bunker to successfully climb to the finish line and picked the peach. None of the people watching or Pao Ze who was watching the excitement said a word to remind him.
Three contestants: "..."
Among the competitions with serious style of painting, there will always be one or two weird projects with very informal style of painting.
For example, in a certain ice-playing event, the winner is the one who is the first to cross the line with two players in a team, two of them with three kicks. This is fine on flat ground, but the problem is on the ice. Even though everyone was heavily protected, they were still knocked dizzy.
Everyone: "..."
Serious doubts about Shen Jun's original intention of organizing this event.
You say you want them to relax and have fun...
Actually, you are just playing with them, right? ? ?
At the end of the first day, everyone was tired and didn’t want to move.
The entire event lasts for five days.
The sixth day is New Year’s Eve.
The only thing that makes them feel gratified is that there will be a fireworks show on New Year's Eve that is as good as the opening ceremony. People can choose to have the reunion dinner at home and then go out to watch the performance, bringing a successful end to the year.
These days, the common people live contentedly.
Vendors who took the risk to purchase goods from other places also made a lot of money - although the purchasing power of the common people was not strong, the number of people was large and the duration was long. The few batches of goods that came in were all eaten and left uneaten. The ones that were sold were also cleared by the government at a price higher than the purchase price.
Some traders are keenly aware of Fu Gu’s potential.
I also signed several business deals with the "Fugu Department Store" under the name of the government, and everyone smiled brighter than the flowers.
At the age of thirty, he was in charge of the office.
Except for going out to play for a while on the first competition day, Shen Tang spent the rest of the time squatting in the office and working. In the past few days, Shen Tang never left his hand with the abacus, and the beads were being moved. It was rare for Qishan not to go on a business trip, and he even hired Gu Chi to work as a coolie to settle accounts.
This is also related to the fact that they were drunk and embarrassed a while ago. I hope time will fade the memory in everyone's mind.
"Lord, it's over."
Shen Tang took the letter form handed over by Gu Chi.
The three of them were counting the general business conditions of the small market and various shops in the past few days, as well as the city tax collected. Although it was only a small amount of money, but - this was the first time after Shen Tang invested a lot of money in Fu Gu. Seeing the rewards for once.
"Hey, it's difficult..."
Shen Tang was relieved and began to sigh at the same time.
These merchants are all persuaded by Shen Tang’s command office, and various profit-making methods are used. However, they are all small merchants with small business scale and few goods. Once the goods are out of stock, they cannot be replenished quickly. Come up - for example, the best-selling lanterns in recent days were sold out on the second day of the opening ceremony. It was hard to find a lantern in Fugu, and merchants could only watch the loss of customers.
If we go to purchase goods now, we can only wait until the Lantern Festival to sell them.
If you miss the Lantern Festival, hoarding lanterns is just a waste of inventory.
The merchant's business is not doing well and he can't make any money. Shen Tang can't collect the listing tax either. In addition, after spring, we need to purchase seedlings and related agricultural tools, which requires large merchants with large scale, good reputation and large supply of goods. And this is what Fu Gu lacks the most.
It is a remote and remote place, and people are unwilling to put down roots and invest.
I am worried about things and cannot have a good time during the New Year.
"Lord, why don't you let Chi go to Tianhai."
"Go to Tianhai? Ask Wu Xian for help? Isn't this not good? Isn't it right to come here to remind people that Zhao Dayi hasn't gone back to celebrate the New Year with his family? Although he wants to help us establish a foothold in Heyin before leaving, Wu Xian We have no choice but to recruit him back. "Zhao Feng is so useful that she doesn't want to return him.
Unexpectedly, before Shen Tang sent someone over, Tianhai had already sent someone over.
