Chapter 1172 Jewelry Store
"Commander, are you buying a gift for someone in the prison?"
The guards didn't know what Zhao Zhiguo was thinking.
Zhao Zhiguo just mentioned that he wanted to go to the prison and went to the store to buy gifts. The guards could only think that there were Zhao Zhiguo's friends in the prison.
"Isn't the prison work a row in the guard battalion responsible?" Zhao Zhiguo said.
The two guards thought about it again that the guard battalion and Zhao Zhiguo had a superior and subordinate relationship, and Zhao Zhiguo did not need to give gifts to the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion.
"Commander, you won't have any relatives and friends being held in prison, right?" a guard guessed.
Hearing this sentence, Zhao Zhiguo was speechless: "You don't miss my relatives and friends, okay? It's so annoying to bring you two out."
The guards followed Zhao Zhiguo in grievance: "You didn't say who you bought a gift for."
"To your sister-in-law!" said Zhao Zhiguo.
"Commander, you said it earlier. Let's go forward and turn right and there are several shops, as if there are jewelry sellers." said the guard.
Zhao Zhiguo walked forward angrily.
This year, half of the jewelry store opened was not open for half a year, and it was opened for half a year.
The whole shop was deserted, and when Zhao Zhiguo walked into the shop, the shop was very quiet.
"Guest, please... please..."
The shopkeeper thought that Zhao Zhiguo was the only one who greeted him very happily, but suddenly he saw two soldiers following him behind Zhao Zhiguo, and the sound of the word "please" seemed to have disappeared.
"You two are waiting outside!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "You come in and influence the store to do business."
"Report to the commander, our duty is to protect ourselves." A guard shouted out loudly.
Zhao Zhiguo wanted to go up and kick him: "You must be low-key when you go out. Do you understand low-key? If I come out to show off, I won't change into a plain outfit!"
"I am the shopkeeper. Is this gentleman Zhao Commander Zhao Zhiguo?"
The shopkeeper heard that a soldier had entered the shop and hurried out to greet him.
I happened to hear the guards called Commander Zhao Zhiguo. In this Pingcheng, Zhao Zhiguo was the only one who dared to be called Commander.
"The commander is spared. You see, I am not wearing military uniforms today, just want to experience the lives of ordinary people. Just call me Mr. Zhao." Zhao Zhiguo said.
"Commander Zhao, you rescued us from the Japanese. We respect you very much. You can visit the small shop, which is full of glory."
"Hey... let it go, good mood is not ruined by you two." Zhao Zhiguo said to the two guards.
"I don't know what happened to Commander Zhao when he came to the shop."
"Don't you sell jewelry here?" Zhao Zhiguo asked, "I want to give my fiancée a decent gift. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Do Commander Zhao want to buy gold and silver jewelry or jade pendants?"
"Your store is not big, it seems that you sell quite a lot of things." Zhao Zhiguo asked.
"Waiter, show the tea to Commander Zhao."
The shopkeeper asked the guy to serve tea, and he trotted to the back of the counter and took out a box.
As soon as the box was placed on the table, it was covered by Zhao Zhiguo with his hands.
"Shopkeeper, don't open it. We are all poor soldiers and can't afford such expensive things."
Zhao Zhiguo could see from the shopkeeper's eyes that the things in the box must be precious.
"Commander Zhao, you are joking. You are in charge of tens of thousands of troops. With an order, you can have whatever you want." The shopkeeper insisted on opening the box.
Zhao Zhiguo pressed his hand on the box without moving: "Shopkeeper, to be honest, I am not as rich as you, and the Eighth Route Army has discipline."
"Commander Zhao saved the country from danger and saved the people of Pingcheng. We should respect you."
The shopkeeper meant to give the things in the box to Zhao Zhiguo for free.
Zhao Zhiguo slapped the table and stood up suddenly: "I said don't open it, then don't open it. What? What I said is foreign language, you don't understand what it is."
Zhao Zhiguo's words shocked the shop owner, and even the two unprepared guards were shocked by Zhao Zhiguo's reaction.
"Commander Zhao forgives his crime!"
When the shopkeeper saw that he had angered Zhao Zhiguo, he hurriedly wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Zhao Zhiguo.
Zhao Zhiguo reacted quickly and held the shopkeeper in one go.
"Shopkeeper, if I scared you just now, I apologize to you. Our Eighth Route Army has rules to treat the people kindly and to trade fairly."
Zhao Zhiguo suppressed his temper.
I should check out the calendar when going out today, but why is everything going well?
"Commander Zhao, let's not hide it from you, our store has been stolen three times." said the shop owner.
"Ah? It was our troops who robbed me? Tell me who it is and I'll capture him now."
When Zhao Zhiguo heard that someone dared to rob the people's shops, he disagreed on the spot.
"No, no, no... Commander Zhao, you misunderstood. What I said was that before the Eighth Route Army came, the Jinsui Army robbed it once and the Japanese robbed it twice. I tried my best to hide this possession and left it."
In the war-torn era, troops without military discipline were similar to bandits.
Especially things like gold, silver and jewelry that retain value are simply hot.
"Boss, you really scared me. I thought my troops had violated the discipline." Zhao Zhiguo sat down slowly.
If something happened to his own army, he would naturally not be able to escape responsibility as the commander.
"Commander Zhao, the Eighth Route Army's troops are indeed different, and we deeply admire them."
"Since you think so, then sit down and say, don't stand." Zhao Zhiguo said, "It will only make us more equal when we sit down and talk."
"well……"
The shopkeeper sat down tremblingly.
"Shopkeeper, today, I am really here to buy jewelry. I definitely can't afford it. You should put away your store treasure, otherwise I will see it later and I can let two guards rob you directly!"
Zhao Zhiguo was joking.
"Commander Zhao, it's so humorous."
"The bracelet is the best, necklaces and hairpins are also fine, but I can tell you that I only have fifty oceans in my hand now."
Zhao Zhiguo thought, the boss shouldn't ask for a price all over the place.
The shopkeeper gave some advice in the friend's ear, and in a short while, the friend brought the bracelet and hairpin.
"This bracelet is thirty-five, this is forty..." The shopkeeper introduced the price.
Zhao Zhiguo did not look at the jewelry, but looked at the shopkeeper's expression and said slowly: "Shopkeeper, you are lying to me."
"Commander Zhao, how dare I lie to you?"
"Where I do not understand gold, silver and jewelry, nor do I understand your market conditions, but I have met many people whose lies are almost the same. Do you know what your expression is now?" Zhao Zhiguo said.
The shopkeeper touched his face, but he didn't have a mirror, and he didn't know what his expression was like to deceive others.
