Chapter 116 Kicking the Snow Wu Zui
Lu Zhuocheng smiled bitterly and said: "Rich Man Zhao, you are so easy to say. The annual rent for this store is 18 guan. If I hadn't introduced some business to my brother, this store would I can’t bear to rent a shop.”
Zhao Zhen heard this and said, “The rent for shops in Bei City is quite high. I don’t know what the rent is like in Nan City. My house also has six shops.”
Lu. Zhuo Cheng said: "Why, the rich man Zhao won't let go of this money."
After speaking, he said seriously: "Although the South City is not as prosperous as the North City, there are not many people. Your place is a shop. 12 pieces a year, no need to worry about renting it out.”
Zhao Zhen said: "Lu Sanlang, how big is your shop in Beishi and Nanshi?"
Lu Zhuocheng said: "It's just a dental shop, not big. It just needs a shop. It has a place to stay. If you have regular customers, it’s good to come here.”
Zhao Zhen said, “How about I open up two shops for my brothers to use for free?” Just as Lu Zhuocheng was about to speak, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, “Brother, listen to me first. As the saying goes: "I'm not afraid of living in a house, but I'm afraid of being empty." Since I bought this house, I have never lived in it. The two shops are used by my brothers. I plan to let the dealer use the remaining four shops to make some. Business. The furniture made in the carpenter's workshop, the good fruits and vegetables growing in the fields, the rice grains, the big fish in the water, etc. are all put on display. Firstly, it can also be used as a sign, and secondly, the guests brought by the brothers can also see it. Look, this is a deal."
Seeing that Lu Zhuocheng was still hesitant, Zhao Zhen said again: "When my brother has saved up and bought a property, it will be easy to move out. "Better."
Lu Zhuocheng said: "Sure, let's take advantage of this. I'll clean up in the past few days. Fortunately, there aren't many regular customers. I'll say hello to all the regular customers and move there." , brothers can also pack them up together, just leave me the two rooms in the southwest.”
Zhao Zhen said: "Then it's settled. I'll go back to the village today to select people and clean up the shop first." After saying that, he went to the place where Zhao Zhen kept the horses and tied up all the weapons he bought. Zhao Zhen took the horses and started to walk. Returned to his father Zhao Jin.
Putting down his weapon, Zhao Zhen took out the bone carvings of peonies he had brought, asked his mother to place one in the hall, and wrapped the other before heading to the office of his teacher Hu Peidetang.
At the porter, Zhao Zhen handed over the name card. After a while, the doorman invited Zhao Zhen to go to the main hall, and he tied the horse under the tree at the door.
Zhao Zhen met the teacher and bowed first. The two sat down, and Hu Peide said: "Zhao Erlang, I see that you are in good spirits. I also heard that you have contributed a lot in the foggy world of [Loyalty King Li Huajing]."
Zhao Zhen said: "They are all It's just a coincidence, it's not a great achievement." He took out the bone carving peony picture and said to Hu Jiaoyu: "Teacher, this is a specialty produced in the student's fantasy world, let the teacher taste it. .”
Hu Peide reached out to take it, looked at it, and said: "Yes, this peony carving is lifelike, and the small bone carving also reveals the aura of wealth. This craftsman is somewhat capable. This object is most popular among wealthy people, and it can be regarded as a treasure." It's a nice object."
Zhao Zhen said: "It's a pity that the output is a little low, and I can't make a few paintings in a month."
Hu Peide said: "How long has it been since you got the fantasy world? When it comes to business, don’t be too ambitious.” He asked Zhao Zhen many fantasy world questions. Zhao Zhen also picked up what he could say and started talking. Hearing that there were green poplar trees and a carpenter's workshop in Zhao Zhen's fantasy world, Hu Peide said: "This year, the school has admitted more students, and there are more accommodations. The school is short of a number of beds. Can your workshop still be used?" Are there beds?"
Zhao Zhen said: "There are some green poplar canopy beds and Arhat beds."
Hu Peide nodded and said, "On the fifth day of August, we need thirty beds. Is it possible? ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Teacher, my place has at least 20 canopy beds and Arhat beds. Do you want both kinds of beds?" Seeing Hu Peide nodding, Zhao Zhen immediately agreed.
Zhao Zhen has seen that the village workshop now has no less than 20 beds, all of which were made together by Bailiu Village and the Fantasy World Carpenter Workshop during this period. There are still seven days left until the fifth day of next month. The two workshops have worked hard to make up for 30 beds, which is just in time.
Hu Peide said: "According to the market price, an Arhat bed costs 10 guans per piece and a canopy bed costs 12 guangs per piece. As long as it is strong and durable."
After chatting for a while, Zhao saw that it was getting late. Zhen stood up and said goodbye. Hu Deyu sent him a gift and told Zhao Zhen not to fool him. If he does well, he will still make a living in the future. Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement, left the bone carving peony picture behind, and rode home.
During dinner, Zhao Zhen told his eldest brother Zhao Xiang that they had arranged an appointment with brothers Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu. I’ll introduce you to everyone in a while.
After a night of silence, Zhao Zhen slept alone again. Before dawn, Zhao Zhen and his elder brother Zhao Xiang had a sword competition. The two fought back and forth for thirty or fifty times.
After breakfast, Zhao Zhen said goodbye to his family, rode his own Hailiu horse, led a horse, and tied several weapons to the horse's back, and galloped all the way back to Bailiu Village. .
Tian Lei stepped forward and asked someone to remove the weapons from the horse. Zhao Zhen said, "Steward Tian, take this horse to the stable and send it to my father tomorrow." Tian Lei responded. The people put the horses in place.
Zhao Zhen asked again: "Did anyone come yesterday?"
Tian Lei said: "No one came." Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Let's go to the carpenter's workshop Take a look.”
Tian Lei led them to the carpentry workshop. Wang Sen and Wang Miao were taking four or five apprentices to make furniture. When they saw Zhao Zhen, they all came over and saluted. Zhao Zhen asked: "Wang Sen Brother, how many beds are there in the workshop now?"
Wang Sen said: "15 Arhat beds and 8 canopy beds."
Zhao Zhen said: "The county school needs 30 beds, which will be available on the fifth day of August. It needs to be complete and can’t be delayed. Is it possible to make 30 beds?”
Wang Sen said: “Baozheng, my uncle and nephew really can’t make 7 beds in seven days. The carvings should be simpler, just some orchids and bamboos. If you need less rest, my uncle and nephew can only make five Arhat beds in seven days."
Zhao Zhen said: "That's enough. I also have three or five carpenters in the fantasy world. It can also make five or seven good beds.”
Wang Sen said: "Baozheng, in that case, my nephew Wang Miao and I will make three canopy beds. In the remaining time, we will carve the finished beds with appropriate patterns and paint them. The price will be higher this way."
Zhao Zhen praised: "Very good. This way I won't waste your time." With that, He Tian Lei said goodbye. They both went to sit down in the front hall. Zhao Zhen told Tian Lei about opening a grocery store selling grain, vegetables, live fish, and furniture in Nanshi, and asked Tian Lei to choose two smart people.
Just after the explanation, there was a commotion outside the village, and Tian Lei hurried out to see it. Zhao Zhen was still sitting in the front hall drinking tea. After a while, Tian Lei came in and said, "Baozheng, there are five elephant-like horses outside. They said they were purchased by Baozheng." All nine horses were inspected one by one. Zhao Zhen took out the voucher from his sleeve and handed it to the strong man who came to deliver the horse. The business was concluded. The children in the village were still surrounding him, exclaiming in admiration. Zhao Zhen asked Tian Lei's people to tie up the three stallions first and keep the farmers away. These three horses were so aggressive that they bumped their heads and kicked their hooves, trying not to hurt anyone. Then he beckoned: "Tian Wazi, come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the children gathered around him. The Sharma was not impatient and stood still, motionless. There are naughty children climbing up on the horse's legs, but the horse is not annoyed.
With such a big movement, Chao Gai and his strong men in training also gathered around. Seeing these five majestic and fat horses, Chao Gai opened his mouth wide and was stunned. After a while, he opened his mouth to Zhao Zhen. Said: "Brother, is this a horse? I have never seen such a tall one, whether it is tame or not."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Chao Gai, this horse is called a Sharma, and it is not a product of China. . It belongs to the island country in the far west. It is docile and slow in running. It cannot be used as a war horse, but can only be used as a draft horse. Look at its back, which is wide and short. How can it be clamped by ordinary people when riding on it? , When it starts running, I am afraid that it will be knocked off the horse. The horse seller said that this horse is not very courageous, and it is afraid that it will not be able to control it when it is frightened for a while. "
Chao Gai said it was a pity. Asked: "How much is this horse worth?"
Zhao Zhen said: "A horse with hundreds of strings." Chao Gai said: "Looking at this physique, it is worth the price. Unfortunately, it is just a draft horse." It was gone now. Interested, I greeted the banker and went to the drying field.
Zhao Zhen watched the children playing in the village for a while, then asked Tian Lei to disperse the crowd and put the horses away. Zhao Zhen was about to go to the village to take out his weapons and return to the fantasy world to arrange for craftsmen to make beds.
Another group of people rode horses and drove to Bailiu Village. Zhao Zhen saw him. It was indeed the manager of the Gaohu family. The man named Zhuang Kun was also an acquaintance. When Zhao Zhen went to Gaohu Village, they were all This person receives.
After seeing the gift, Zhuang Kun said: "Zhao Baozheng, on the order of the mayor of Gao Township, I sent some gifts to Zhao Baozheng." He handed over the gift list.
Zhao Zhen took it and handed it to Tian Lei, asking everyone to move to the front yard first. Zhao Zhen and Zhuang Kun went to the front hall and asked: "Brother Gao Hu is now the head of the township?"
Zhuang Kun said: "Yes, the appointment was just announced today. Those who came with me are also There were several sisters and nephews of the township chief who also received many rewards. After the township chief saw off the envoy, he selected some gifts and sent them over to reward Baozheng for killing the enemy." After hearing this, Zhao Zhen naturally thanked him.
After using the tea, Tian Lei has also taken stock of it. Zhuang Kun saw it and said to Zhao Zhen: "Zhao Baozheng, the gift has been delivered. I will leave now. Tomorrow morning, Baozheng can come to the village to see me."
Zhao Zhen nodded and thanked Zhuang. Kun took out two boxwood bracelets from the study, put them in a box, wrapped them in a red baggage, wrote a letter and handed them to Zhuang Kun, saying: "This summer has all the vegetables and melons." The fruit is sweet, but mosquitoes are annoying. I have two bracelets made of boxwood, which can also repel mosquitoes. Manager Xiangfanzhuang handed them over to brother Gao Hu." He took out two more golden melon seeds and gave them to him.
Zhuang Kun said with a smile: "Zhao Baozheng, we are all a family in the future, and we may have to take care of Baozheng. Baozheng needs to dress up, and come back tomorrow in the countryside to see Baozheng's heroic appearance." After that, he continued After passing the object in Zhao Zhen's hand, he drove his horse away with all the villagers.
Seeing Zhuang Kun and others walking out of the village, Zhao Zhen returned to the front yard and took the gift list from Tian Lei's hand. But I read at the beginning: 3000 kilograms of crude iron, 10 horses under it, 100 red tassel spears for the Thirty Years of Refining, 100 waist knives for the Thirty Years of Refining, and finally a reed leaf gun, a collar of willow leaves and bamboo armor, and silk and satin. 200 horses.
They were all used by Zhao Zhen. The red tassel gun, waist knife, and silk silk were all moved into the warehouse by Tian Lei. Zhao Zhen did not stop, and returned to the fantasy world with his iron, horses, weapons and armor.
A lot of information appeared in the world log at once, but Zhao Zhen did not look at it. He called Zhao Yuanli and ordered: "Yuanli, the first thing is to ask the carpenter's workshop to make four canopy beds and carve orchids and bamboos before the fourth day of August." The second thing is..."
Just as he was talking, the sky outside the village was filled with uproar. Zhao Zhen knew that it was these five shire horses that were responsible. Zhao Zhen said to Zhao Yuanli: "You should do this first."
After saying that, Zhao Zhen left Zhuangzi. As Zhao Zhen expected, Zhuangzi went to Guanghui, Pei Xuan, Yang Lin, Tang Long, Deng Fei, Bai Sheng, Tao Zongwang and other heroes gathered around these horses to watch. There were also many farmers. The noise caused the three stallions to neigh.
Seeing Zhao Zhen come out, all the heroes came to see him. Yang Lin said with burning eyes: "Master, is this a war horse? It's really majestic."
Zhao Zhen listened. , shook his head, and explained again, but everyone's enthusiasm dissipated a little. Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers Yang Lin and Deng Fei, these 10 castrated war horses will also belong to you and other cavalry. Zhao Ji, you will send the five original mares and these three stallions on the farm to the pasture." , breeding horses. These five Shire horses are raised in Baishi Manor, and this one..." Zhao Zhen looked at it and brought back 19 horses, but this one was languid. "Well, kick the snowy black horse and send it to the stable. Brother Tang Long, you have these thick irons on the ground transported to the blacksmith workshop. Brothers have something to do later."
After everyone listened to Zhao Zhen's words, they all responded and were busy for a while. Zhao Zhen asked the remaining heroes to sit down in the front hall. Asked: "Brothers, how have you been these past few days?"
Pei Xuandao: "Although I feel comfortable drinking in Machuan, it is not as good as the fireworks in the market today, with a clean body and an open mind. In the past few days, we and everyone have been I practice martial arts every day and talk about martial arts, which makes me happy."
Everyone laughed after hearing this. Zhao Zhen said: "I have to go to the main world these days to do business. Liangshan Township depends on all the brothers to maintain it."
Guang Hui said: "Brothers, don't worry, now the Sa family and others also regard this place as their hometown. I would like to If there is an invasion, we will go into battle to resist." Everyone responded with a roar.
Zhao Zhen was smiling and chatting with everyone. Zhao Yuanli came closer and said to Zhao Zhen: "Master, the carpenter's workshop is building a waterwheel. There are already two green poplar canopy beds. The remaining two beds can be built in three or four days. Do you want to build more?" ”
Seeing Zhao Zhen handling village affairs, all the heroes left the East Garden to train the village men and compete in martial arts.
Zhao Zhen said: "It is the rainy season now. Let's not be busy building waterwheels. In the past few days, we will build canopy beds. We can build as many as we can."
Zhao Yuanli agreed and was right. Going to the carpenter's workshop again, Zhao Zhen took out the key from his body, handed it to Zhao Yuanli and said: "Go and take out the Dragon Cult Spirit Grass from the treasure house, and come to the stable to find me." After saying that, Zhao Zhen went to the stable first. .
Take out the black horse that is kicking the snow, and gently stroke the horse's face with your hand. The horse drank water and calmed down. Now it is more energetic, but still a little uneasy. As Zhao Zhen stroked him, he gradually settled down, stretched out his tongue, and licked Zhao Zhen's face. Zhao Zhen smiled and didn't dislike it.
After a while, Zhao Yuanli brought the dragon's cud, and Zhao Zhen took it. When he arrived in front of the Wuzui horse, he saw the horse's tongue rolled up and he ate it in one bite. He shook his body, panted heavily, and two streaks of white steam came out of his nose. He became restless and neighed.
After a quarter of an hour, he finally settled down. Zhao Zhen looked at
World Log
The black horse that kicked the snow (ancient saying: a horse with eight feet is a dragon, with a horse and a unique posture, But the muscles and bones are not intact. It eats the dragon and turns into a thousand-mile horse. It can travel a thousand miles at night. It is one foot long from head to tail, and eight feet high. Its body is like black ingots, and its four hoofs are as white as snow.

Zhao Zhen took the saddle, stepped on the horse, and lightened his feet. Knocking on the horse's belly and lifting the reins, the black-collared horse neighed and the wind seemed to rush out. Zhao Zhen felt that the grass and trees on the road were flying backwards, and Baishi Village, two miles away, was arriving in the blink of an eye. Zhao Zhen laughed loudly and said: "It's worth noting that this dragon is a thousand-mile horse."
