Chapter 268 Farming is not easy(1/3)
Sumitomo Store mainly sells food and daily necessities.
I have to say that the shops at Jemulpo Port have a unique and exotic feel that belongs to this era.
Especially the dazzling array of goods on the display cabinets. Those handicrafts will be left to future generations, and they can be sold casually for 1,800 yuan.
Zhao Chuanxin saw the exquisite Japanese tea sets, the teapot made of multiple layers of copper sheets welded together, and the drip tray used to collect dripping water from the tea cups.
There are stoves, wine barrels, cooking utensils for heating or cooking...
A lantern with strong Korean-style decoration, like a street lamp, consists of a copper bracket and lampshade.
In Zhao Chuanxin's view, many of the things here already have collection value.
He first swept through rice, corn, red, yellow and mung beans and other grains, and then searched for some cooking utensils and handicrafts. He casually picked up a copper teapot on the shelf and came to the counter: "How much does it cost?"
After all, there are many shops to visit, not to mention many trips back and forth between the mainland and the island.
He has to put on a show to reduce suspicion and not reveal his secrets in advance.
He originally thought this thing should be cheap.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin was startled when the clerk opened his mouth: "Sir, this copper kettle costs 125 yen."
Zhao Chuanxin took a breath: "Why don't you go and grab it?"
A trace of disdain flashed in the clerk's eyes.
He was polite and patient in his words: "That's right, sir, this copper kettle is completely handmade. Do you see the hammer pattern on it? It is hammered out by craftsmen, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In Japan, only nobles and
Only temples can enjoy it."
Damn... Only then did Zhao Chuanxian realize that the handicrafts at this time were also luxury goods.
I wanted to send it back, but in the end I gritted my teeth.
If you are reluctant to give up your children, you will not be able to trap the wolf. Only by spending generous amounts can you be eliminated from suspicion in the end.
Anyway, the value of the goods I scanned has increased countless times.
He no longer hesitated and paid the bill: "125 yuan, no change required."
No matter how good-tempered the clerk was, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
After leaving the door, the two snot-nosed kids clicked their tongues and shook their heads: "Mr. Zhao, this teapot is too expensive, there is no need to buy it."
125 yuan is enough for them to feed them. I don’t know how long it will last. I’m afraid it will be calculated in years.
Zhao Chuanxin said with pain: "You know? I'm riding a tiger. You don't have to follow me. I'll give you two two cents and you can find a restaurant to eat something. I'll come back to you after I finish shopping."<
/p>
Snivellus: "..."
The shops in front are one after another, row after row, so there is no need for them.
Always carrying two dirty snot-nosed babies is too eye-catching.
Zhao Chuanxin bought tempura wrapped in cod meat at a roadside food stall, wrapped it in paper, and sizzled while eating.
Just out of the frying pan, your mouth is still a little hot.
He strolled into the lantern room.
This shop looks a lot more formal.
Pens, inks, paper and inkstones, paintings, pottery, lacquerware, girls' clothing and ribbons, etc.
In fact, personally speaking, Zhao Chuanxin's character is more literary, at least he thinks so.
Therefore, he quite likes visiting this kind of store.
After coming in, I scanned the goods again, but not much this time. After all, I can't let these personal items take up too much space.
This time he learned the lesson and bought a bottle of ink when he went out. It was really cheap.
After I went out, I bought a bowl of miso soup from a street stall, and I was so dry in two mouthfuls.
The clerk was dumbfounded and took the money, and Zhao Chuanxian continued to the next store.
Next came the textiles, and Zhao Chuanxian discovered that there was black lace here.
Seeing his surprised look, the clerk explained: "During the Louis XIV period, Louis XIV's great love for lace promoted the development of French lace craftsmanship. After being introduced to Japan, it immediately became popular among the noble ladies of our Japanese Empire. Mr.
You might as well buy some and bring them to your wife, she will definitely like them."
The clerk is very eloquent and has allusions at his fingertips.
The lace patterns here are complex, and the embroidery and hemming are just casual. The colors are even more diverse, including black, white, red, green, and blue.
Zhao Chuanxin has always felt that except for black lace, other colors will look cheap.
He picked up a piece of lace, with a critical look on his face: "The world is really declining, and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be. Look, what kind of cheap stuff are they selling? Wrap one for me, and I'll take it back and treat it well."
Criticism one or two."
Clerk: "..."
Because textiles take up space, after visiting this store, Zhao Chuanxin went back and found two snot-nosed babies.
The two children did not go out to the restaurant. They just bought fish cakes and some salty chive flowers on the street, and they ate very deliciously.
Maybe because he couldn't bear to eat it all at once, when Zhao Chuanxin came to find it, he was still chewing it slowly.
If this were Xian Yubin, he would gobble it up after a few mouthfuls.
This thing is made by grinding fish meat into a paste and adding corn flour or potato flour. It is somewhat similar to fish balls. Cut it into small pieces and steam it in a pot to become a delicious street food.
With just the salted chive flowers, it was already a feast for the two snot-nosed kids.
Zhao Chuanxin came over and asked, "Why don't you two go to a restaurant?"
"Mr. Zhao, we dare not go in."
Although they are familiar with the terrain, they have actually never been to a few restaurants and shops. Most of them usually hang out at the door and have no courage to go in and out with those well-dressed people.
Zhao Chuanxin smiled.
Seeing that they were a little choked, I went to a store and bought two bowls of ginger soup.
Ginger, green onion, radish, and a little fish are added to form a bowl of clear soup with little water.
"You two, have a drink, and after that we'll go back to the dock together."
These snot-nosed babies were fine when they were little, but when they grow up, they become very annoying.
They both had runny noses and happily went to drink soup with the toothless bowls in their hands.
As the sun rises, the fog on the sea surface fades a bit, but it is still unclear from places that are too far away.
Zhao Chuanxin launched into the water from the pier, swam back to Ares Island, and unloaded the cargo in the secret realm all over the beach.
He called Park Seung-yeol over: "Find someone to carry the things back, and I'll go to Jemulpo to get some."
Park Seung-yeol agreed in confusion.
I really don’t know what magic method Zhao Chuanxin used to move so many things back without using a boat.

Suddenly, he picked up a piece of black silk with his fingers and asked: "Mr. Zhao, what is this?"
I, Cao, why did you take out this thing?
Zhao Chuanxin quickly put it away and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, this is poetry and distance. You are still young, you will understand it when you grow up."
But inexplicably, I thought of Miao Cuihua. This kind of coquettish style fabric is most suitable for Sister Hua.
I imagined the scene of Miao Cuihua wearing lace and black stockings,
Zhao Chuanxin reacted slightly...
Many people took it without suing, but Zhao Chuanxin took it without suing.
Doing this kind of thing gives people a kind of secret joy and pleasure.
Taking what belongs to one's own people is called stealing, taking what belongs to the Japanese is called bringing glory to the country, it is called punishing evil and promoting good, and it is called taking a correct stand.
Moreover, just like criminals like to return to the scene of a crime and want to see how things will develop out of curiosity, Zhao Chuanxin changed into a suit and walked through the shop he had patronized again.
It turns out that no one wants to remember a stranger.
He just changed his clothes and the store clerk didn't recognize him.
When Zhao Chuanxin returned for the third time, someone discovered that the goods were missing and called the Korean police.
The police counted the list of lost items and conducted simple inquiries and personnel checks.
It is Zhao Chuanxin's principle to accept things as soon as they are good. When you see something good, look at the sky.
The sun sets in the west, tired birds roost in the trees, fish swim in the abyss, and the work is completed perfectly.
For several days, the God of War team gathered 2,648 people.
Not everyone had the courage to fight the Japanese army to the end. Many members of the Guards handed over their guns honestly, took their severance pay, stopped active, and went home to live their lives.
