Early in the morning on New Year's Day.
"Cock, Cock, Cock..." The chicken crows, reminding lazy people to celebrate the New Year.
The first day of the new year is very lively.
The sound of firecrackers kept ringing.
Xiao Yi retreated for a day and walked out of Tianxiahui.
Yuancheng is very lively, with more people than before.
"Dad, I want to eat candied haws on a stick."
"Mom, I want that."
The little ones want something to eat and play with.
"Okay, okay, dad will buy it for you."
Children from rich families are happy. Whatever they want, their parents will buy it for them.
And those children from poor families have nothing.
The most unfortunate thing is that his parents died young, and he had to support the whole family at a young age.
"Uncle, please give me something to eat."
At the street corner, beggars were kneeling on the ground with a broken bowl in front of them, begging for food in the snow.
"Brother Yi, there are more beggars in Yuancheng." Xiao Shan sighed.
He almost became a beggar and even died tragically. His cousin Xiao Yi rose to take control of the Tianxiahui, and he followed suit. Not only did he practice the Three-Yuan Magic and Nine-Yang Magic, he also became the deputy leader of the Tianxiahui.
It can be said that his fate has undergone a huge reversal.
"These are not local beggars. Come on, let's find a place to hear what happened recently." Xiao Yi wanted to hear about major events in the world.
Hearing this, Xiao Shan chuckled and said, "Brother Yi, let's go to Happy Street. There are many people in Happy Street, including many traveling caravans and rivers and lakes heroes. Moreover, Chunxiang Tower, our World Club, is also unique in Happy Street."
The Black Snake Gang once controlled more than a dozen Goulan houses, among which Chunxianglou was the largest and had the most girls.
It's just that Xiao Yi destroyed Wu Tian and changed the Black Snake Gang into the Tianxiahui, and never took care of these hooks.
He heard that some Goulan had escaped from the control of the Tianxiahui and took refuge with the Feilong Gang.
"What's the current situation of Chunxiang Tower?"
Xiao Shan touched his chin and replied: "Brother Yi, this Chunxiang Pavilion is under the jurisdiction of Tang Yong, the former leader of Qingmu Hall. You changed the name of the Black Snake Gang to Tianxiahui. Tang Yong, the leader of Qingmu Hall, once publicly stated his separation from Tianxiahui, and later changed the name of the Black Snake Gang to Tianxiahui. Find me and want to return to Tianxiahui. I am just a faggot and I haven’t expressed my position yet.”
"Come on, let's go over and take a look!"
The two of them walked through the ancient street, turned a corner, and came to Happy Street.
The entire Yuan County Goulan market is located on Happy Street, with no less than fifty of them.
Among them, the two most famous ones are Chunxiang Tower and Feihua Tower controlled by Feilong Gang.
Before entering the gate, the wide Happy Street was already overcrowded.
There are so many people and it’s so lively.
Old people, women, and children shuttled among the crowd.
Scholars, Taoist priests, and monks entered the Goulan and chatted with the girls about the meaning of life.
An old woman hawked: "Roasted chestnuts, fragrant and hot sugar-roasted chestnuts, only ten cents per pound!"
"Brother Yi, roasted chestnuts smell so good." Xiao Shan sniffed his nose and prepared to buy chestnuts.
"Young man, the fragrant and hot sugar-roasted chestnuts only cost ten cents per pound." The old woman had a kind smile on her face.
Xiao Yi stopped Xiao Shan.
Xiaoshan is unknown.
Xiao Yi snorted coldly: "You dare to eat anything, you really think you are immune to all poisons."
Don't say that Xiaoshan's Nine Yang Divine Art has not yet been completed. Even if it is a great success, you can't eat casually.
Xiao Shan himself understood what Xiao Yi meant, so he was careful in everything and immediately admitted his mistake: "Brother Yi, I won't do it next time."
The old woman didn't know why, "Young man, it smells good and hot..."
"No need, you can eat it yourself!" Xiao Shan refused to roast chestnuts with sugar.
Xiao Yi saw that the chestnuts were not poisonous, but the old woman selling chestnuts had martial arts skills.
Xiao Yi didn't know the origin, and he had no interest in knowing.
Yuan County has always had many unknown masters.
The old woman was shocked. She was good at using poison, especially poisoning fried sugar chestnuts, but she didn't poison this time. The young man in front of her was so cautious.
"Who is this, so vigilant?"
This was also her first time in Yuan County, and she was ordered to investigate the whereabouts of the King Shark in the East China Sea.
King Shark is one of the three major pirates in the East China Sea. He kills, loots and commits all kinds of evil.
The imperial court wanted to kill the Shark King.
However, the Shark King's martial arts are unfathomable, and he has thirty-six innate masters under his command, including countless first-rate masters.
This kind of strength surpasses the first-class sects in the world.
Another point is that King Shark has eight thousand pirates, has been living in the East China Sea for a long time, and has first-class means to save his life.
If you want to kill the Shark King, you can only wait for the Shark King to enter Yuan County.
But this time, a secret whistle sent a message that King Shark might personally lead pirates to plunder Yuan County.
This is their best chance to kill King Shark and they cannot miss it.
The old woman observed the martial arts people on Happy Street and shouted at the same time: "Roasted chestnuts, fragrant and hot sugar-roasted chestnuts, only ten cents per pound!"
Happy Street is so lively.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Shan walked around with the flow of people.
There are fifty Gou Lans on Happy Street, most of them are bustling with activity, while some are deserted.
Just because there is no fresh blood in these hooks, even a seventy-year-old man can't look down on them.
In front of Feihua Tower, scholars and disciples from aristocratic families came and went.
There are many people in their 60s and 70s.
To die under the peonies is to be a ghost.
Feihua Building is the property of Feilong Gang. The girls are young and beautiful, attracting many new and old clients.
Those who can enter Feihua Tower are either rich or noble.
The two entered Feihua Building.
"I'm sorry, my guests. The private room is full. There are tables over there. Please wait patiently for a moment. After other guests have finished their work, we will prepare beauties for you." The old duck warmly entertained Xiao Yi and Xiao Shan.
Xiao Yi looked stiff.
Can this kind of thing wait?
He had waited in that world, and when he came to this world, he still had to wait...
Xiao Shan waved his hand, "No need, let's just take a look."
The old duck was a little disappointed, but he still guided Xiao Yi and Xiao Shan to an empty table in the inner hall.
On the stage, a graceful girl played Phoenix Dance for Nine Heavens.
The dancing red damask is really beautiful.
"Two distinguished guests, what would you like to order?"
Xiao Shan said: "Bring a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds!"
"Okay, sir, three taels of silver." The old duck smiled and waited for Xiao Shan to pay.
Xiao Shan was confused: "How much?"
The old duck's eyes suddenly showed contempt: "Three taels of silver!"
Xiao Shan was annoyed and was about to get angry, but seeing Xiao Yi's calm expression, he didn't want to disturb his cousin's interest.
He took out a silver coin from his pocket and slammed it on the table: "Here!"
The old duck put away the money, with a faint smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Contempt.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi asked: "You girl...how do you count?"
The old duck immediately understood Xiao Yi's meaning and chuckled: "The beauty on the second floor of our Feihua Building is eight taels of silver, the beauty on the third floor is twenty taels, the beauty on the west floor is ten taels, the beauty on the fifth floor is eighty taels, and the beauty on the sixth floor is two hundred taels. , On weekdays, it will be lower!”
Xiao Yi asked casually: "Where is the seventh floor?"
Seeing that Xiao Yi was not suppressed, the old duck did not dare to despise him anymore: "The beauties on the seventh floor don't sell themselves when they are performing arts, unless they like the customers."
Xiao Yi waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead."
The old duck greeted other new and old clients with a warm face.
Xiao Shan waited for the old duck to leave and immediately cursed: "Brother Yi, damn, just this pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds cost three taels of silver, you are robbing money."
Xiaoshan knows how much a long-term worker can earn in a year.
For example, the long-term worker in Tianxiahui's dyeing workshop only earns 500 cash a month, which is 60 taels a year.
After a year of hard work, I can only have two cups of tea at Feihua Tower.
This is still the highest wage in the world. If you were in another dyeing workshop, you could get 20 taels of wages a year, and that's all because of the mercy of the boss.
It’s true that the people have worked hard for a year and still can’t enjoy the most upscale goulan in Yuan County.
"You can't earn as much money as this from robbing money." Xiao Yi took a sip of tea.
Not bad, lightly fragrant.
Melon seeds are just ordinary melon seeds.
"Xiao Shan, how much does Feihua House earn per year?"
Xiao Shanxi took a look and saw that Feihua Building was overcrowded and there were constant charming sounds upstairs.
Every room is full.
Whether you are a new prostitute or an old prostitute, there is no shortage of money.
"Brother Yi, I estimate that Feihualou will earn a thousand taels today!"
Xiao Yi chuckled.
Feihualou’s income today will not be less than five thousand taels.
Today is also the first day of the Lunar New Year, and business is booming.
In the past, it probably wouldn't be much different.
Make money every day.
"This is faster than grabbing money. Wang Batian knows how to do business!"
......
