"Really... Give me this gold bar?" the woman asked song TIANYAO uncertainly.
Although now known as Hongkong's heavy light, in fact, there is a war panic in Hongkong, like the British and colonial Chinese, which is like a cloud in the top of the head. That is, the Chinese mainland has established a republic. Perhaps the powerful PLA will be able to force back the British Far East colony in force at any time, and now the British war in the United Kingdom has participated in it in. Hong Kong people are even more worried. They are afraid that if the Korean War ends, the mainland will avenge Britain's participation in the war and set the next battlefield in Hong Kong.
Therefore, both the poor and the rich, officials and businessmen in Hong Kong are trying to change their paper money into gold. During the dark period of the Japanese occupation in the past decade, they have taught all people living in Hong Kong a lesson. No matter how much paper money is printed or how much money they save, it is not as valuable as gold.
Just as it is said that the price of gold in a gold shop is slightly lower than that in other gold shops, there will be a queue of three or four miles outside the door of that gold shop waiting for money to buy gold.
Song TIANYAO said, "it's not for you, it's half for you. Miss, I'm not as generous as you said. You pay me two thousand Hong Kong dollars. This gold bar is yours."
Such a gold bar can be exchanged for HK $3500 at a small gold shop according to the price of stolen goods. However, if you stay and make simple jewelry, or save it slowly to find a big gold shop and get rid of it when the gold is tight, 5000 or 6000 can also be exchanged. Moreover, the women saw the scenes just now, and she bit her red lip with her teeth like a scallop:
"OK, I'll go and borrow money with my sisters first."
With that, she stood up with her Pipa in her arms, squatted down and saluted song TIANYAO, and walked towards the stairs in a hurry.
When the woman disappeared on the stairs, song TIANYAO smiled at Zhao Wenye: "is your cousin ashamed enough to rob the reward with Ge Ling?"
The woman moved quickly, but in five or six minutes, her slender white fingers came back with a stack of fifty Hong Kong dollars. It seems that she borrowed it from other singers. Because of the rules of the ship, the price of the singer's wine is 50 yuan.
"Here are two thousand Hong Kong dollars, sir." the woman handed the money in her hand to song TIANYAO. Song TIANYAO didn't count it. He divided half and put it into his wallet. The other half handed it to Zhao Wenye, and then handed the gold bar to the woman: "I want to thank you, girl."
Until this piece of gold reached her hand, the woman held it tightly with both hands and felt the cold and heavy hand feeling brought by gold. She couldn't believe it was true.
Last night, the man gave himself a reward of 200 Hong Kong dollars. Tonight, when he played the song, he directly rewarded a gold bar.
With this gold bar, I don't need it tonight
To the woman's surprise, song TIANYAO handed her the gold bar, looked at the woman with gentle eyes and said in a relaxed tone: "With this gold bar, the girl should be able to take off her gaudy dress, wash off her red makeup and have a good sleep. If she is still unfair, you can take the gold bar out to scare the person who wants to sleep with you tonight. Then let him listen. Someone can cover you with a gold bar, find him with a watermelon knife and tell him to know better."
After saying that, song TIANYAO greeted Zhao Wenye, and they disappeared at the stairs on the third floor.
The cold beauty on the woman's face could no longer be maintained. She covered her mouth in surprise, turned her head and looked at Song TIANYAO, but found that the handsome young man, who had not looked back, walked down the stairs.
Only then did the woman realize that song TIANYAO rewarded himself so much that he didn't even ask his name.
……
It was not until he returned to the land again by sampan that Zhao Wenye followed song TIANYAO and grabbed a full thousand Hong Kong dollars behind him that he asked:
"Brother Yao, the money you gave me..."
"It's not for you. I'll give 500 yuan to your mother. She's not in good health. Let her use it for medicine. Take the remaining 500 yuan to my home and give it to my mother. I know her best. My son is the Secretary of the Chu family. If he doesn't go to the wooden house area to show off, it's not her. This money is spent by her during this time. By the way, tell her to save some money. I don't have any money to take it home recently." Song TIANYAO waved to the rickshaw waiting for the seafood restaurant business not far away. The wheels of the two nearest rickshaws immediately turned. The spokes were loud and ran over like the wind.
Zhao Wenye watched song TIANYAO board a rickshaw and asked, "brother Yao, why do you want to reward the woman a gold bar generously because you are short of money?"
If you take that gold bar home, wouldn't it make your aunt and family happier?
"The woman is ugly in a rose red cheongsam, with light makeup and her hair tied up. I chatted with the waiter of Luyu teahouse yesterday. He said that although the singer on the seafood boat is gaudy, she won't change much to prevent old guests from dislike. The woman painted like two people last night and tonight. Maybe she was forced to go out of the street because she owed money So I simply drew a bride's dowry and was carried to bed when the seafood restaurant closed. Seeing her reluctant appearance, I helped her. What's more, it doesn't matter if the gold bar is spent on myself. The gold bar is not spent casually... Forget it, you go home and I'll stay in the hotel. " Song TIANYAO also wanted to explain to Zhao Wenye, but seeing that his cousin's brain was not open enough, he sighed and said to the rickshaw driver, "dulis hotel."
The young man who took song TIANYAO along the road to the dulisch hotel will not pay himself less when he got off the bus. If he says more compliments on the way, he may make more money.
The rickshaw pulled song TIANYAO all the way. Zhao Wenye got on another rickshaw and carefully put the money away: "trouble, Jialin side road wooden house area."
The coachman answered with a bitter face and took Zhao Wenye to the wooden house area on Jialin side road, where the poor people in Hong Kong gathered. He had a different idea from the coachman. Now he just wanted the young people on the car not to deduct their foot money after they were delivered.
Located in the east of Queen's road in Wanchai, close to the Wanchai post office, dulis hotel is a hotel opened by British people. The service staff in it are all English speaking. Even if Chinese who do not understand English enter the hotel, they do not know what the other party is talking about. Finally, they can only go out disheartened. Therefore, most of the guests here are British and well-educated Chinese, Although Chu Xiaoxin's English is sloppy, there is no problem with some daily phrases. He has rented a guest room here all year round. When his eldest brother Chu Xiaozhong comes home, he will come here to live, so as not to be ridiculed and annoyed by his eldest brother.
Song TIANYAO's English is also OK. Although he was exposed to American English in his last life, most conversations are OK, so he opened a room in the dulisch hotel. After asking the hotel breakfast supply time before entering the room, he took a shower and went to bed.
When the whole person was lying on the big bed with moderate softness and hardness, song TIANYAO sighed comfortably: "even if it's just to avoid sleeping on the hardwood bed and floor in the future, I'll try to make money."
