Chapter 199: Life in troubled times is like a mustard
Soon, Xiaomei came in from outside. She brought two boxes, two jars of rice wine, a small jar of five kilograms, and a larger jar, which was 1902 Laimao wine, a jar of ten kilograms.
The rice wine is made of blue and white porcelain jar. Wu Dingkun only glanced at it and said in surprise: "Hey, this is porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty. The porcelain from folk kilns is also considered antiques. Used to hold wine?"
After looking closely, he couldn't help but be shocked: "My God, is this the wine left in the late Qing Dynasty?" He was a master of porcelain appraisal and had a high vision. At this time, he couldn't help but be amazed.
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "The jar of blue and white porcelain is indeed the product of the folk kilns in the late Qing Dynasty, but the wine was not from that era." He still lied. The wine was indeed from that era, and it only lasted for more than twenty years, but the winemaking process was not modern.
Wu Dingkun couldn't help but shake his head. It was so extravagant.
When Yu Qian carefully opened the cover, a strong aroma of wine came to his nose. The aroma of wine gathered but did not dissipate. Hu Gang said in surprise: "Hey, is this the fragrance of rice wine? The rice wine I have smelled before is not the same!"
Yu Qian twitched his nose intoxicatedly and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are really amazing. You can find such a mellow old wine! Okay, you drink white wine, this wine belongs to me!"
Hu Gang doesn’t drink foreign wine, red wine, and yellow wine. He only drinks white wine and beer. When he smells the aroma of the wine, he feels itchy. He said, “Old Yu, I just want to drink something to taste.”
One of them wanted to taste it, but everyone else wanted to taste it, but Yu Qian's face turned bitter. He finally found this kind of good wine, but he really couldn't bear to leave it.
Zhang Hao said: "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Yu, let everyone taste it, and I'll send you a few jars of rice wine in the future."
Yu Qian said: "Drinking this wine slowly, you have to taste it carefully. If you don't toast, you won't be able to taste it well." Then he said to Zhang Hao: "I thank Mr. Zhang first. This wine is rare, so I won't refuse. Can you tell me where to buy this wine?"
“There is no place to buy this wine.”
Where can I buy it? Where can I buy the wine I bought in the late Qing Dynasty?
Yu Qian knew the result, shook his head repeatedly and said, "What a pity, I can't buy it."
Everyone tasted the old wine, and according to Yu Qian's words, they drank it slowly and tasted it carefully. Sure enough, the wine was sweet and mellow, with a special aroma that filled the mouth. The wine was poured into the bowl, and there was a layer of wine slurry hanging on the wall of the bowl. The wine was really amber-colored, revealing a clear color.
Yu Qian sighed: "It is not easy to drink too much of this kind of wine. If you drink half a pound and stop it with a little bit of soothing, it is really a life enjoyment!"
Hu Gang was a rare sip and finished a bowl. He smacked his lips and said, "It's delicious, it's really delicious, but it's too sweet and not suitable for me. I still like white wine, like drinking big bowls, eating big pieces of meat..."
"You bandit!"
Yu Qian couldn't help but squirt, and everyone laughed.
...
The next day, Zhang Hao left and returned to the late Qing Dynasty.
Because Zhang Hao received a message, Hong Guang was kidnapped on the way to the theater. There were more than 20 people, including seven people killed by Hong Guang and the robot, and five were injured. The matter was a big deal.
This happened because Hong Guang was too arrogant and spent money like flowing water, which attracted the attention of those who were interested.
But these people would never have thought that Hong Guang had a robot around him, and Hong Guang could also attack him. He also had a pistol on his body. The five people who died were killed by Hong Guang. The robot injured five and two of them because the other party also had a gun and also injured the rickshaw driver. This was a coolie in Zhang Hao's company.
Zhang Hao returned to Far East Department Store and immediately called a meeting of robots.
"Say it first, what's going on?"
Zhang Yihu said: "I found out that it was a bandit gang in Taihu. I colluded with some people in Shanghai and had planned it long ago. This time, more than 30 people came and arranged it very closely. We were blamed for not paying attention to this aspect and the other party took advantage of the situation."
Because of the robot guards, Zhang Hao and the others instinctively felt that no one dared to mess with each other, but they forgot the important point. The robot is indeed powerful, but others don’t know. What they see and observe is that every time Hong Guang goes out, a rickshaw, a follower, a rickshaw driver, and two followers who look like servants, there is no one else.
Hong Guang's usual style and the style of the eldest young master, he was happy to watch the show. When he shouted for reward, someone would sprinkle money on the stage. He would sprinkle silver dollars, and he would sprinkle ten or eight silver dollars at a time. With the jingle, he would laugh proudly. His seemingly childish actions were actually the same as when he was playing with a virtual net to sprinkle money.
This is what made people with ulterior motives see, and this kidnapping plan was planned.
Zhang Hao said: "Where are others?"
"I was taken to the yamen by the runners."
"Damn, is he stupid? He will leave after killing!"
Zhang Yihu said helplessly: "He won't leave!"
The soul is fading!
This year, Shanghai was in turmoil and uneasy. The court began to establish a constitution, abolish the imperial examinations, and local governments demanded autonomy. The so-called difficult situation is the characteristic of this period.
"Spend money and bring people back!"
There is nothing that cannot be solved in this era that silver dollars cannot handle. No matter how big the matter is, money can be solved. In Zhang Hao's opinion, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
It's rough and simple, just spend money.
"Don't keep that bandit gang in Taihu Lake, clean it up. If any gang in Shanghai is involved, they will also be cleaned up. Made, do you really think we are easy to bully?"
In half a day, Hong Guang returned to Far East Department Store.
When he saw Zhang Hao, he said, "Brother, I really didn't cause trouble. They were the ones who messed with me!"
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it great to spend money every day? It's not your fault, but your fault is to seduce people with hearts. You are like a child walking on the street with gold bricks. Who will you catch if you don't catch them? This is a chaotic world, this is a world of extreme poverty. Do you think you have any problems?"
Hong Guang lowered his head and stopped talking.
Zhang Hao said again: "Mad, why are you still staying there after you killed someone?"
Hong Guang said: "They shot first. I'm fighting back. Of course I'm not afraid anymore. Why should I leave?"
Zhang Hao couldn't help but curse, "You are so naive? In this era, there are neither videos nor surveillance equipment. If something happens, you should leave as soon as the robot deals with it. How capable are you? Go up and fight hard!"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you, go take a shower, eat, and then go take a break."
Hong Guang originally thought Zhang Hao was going to beat him up, but he didn't expect that Zhang Hao would just say a few words and let it go. He felt relieved and said, "Brother, you don't know how dark it is in the Shanghai yamen..."
