Chapter 23

"Brother Chuanwen, the business of our shop has been good recently." Tan Xian'er took Zhu Chuanwen and walked towards the back of the container. She had to show his brother Chuanwen to see how good the business is recently.

Zhu Chuanwen was pressed on the counter by Xian'er, and he was about to hand over the account book that he had recently regarded as a treasure.

But the moment I handed it out, I felt as if I had reacted to something, so I pulled it back again.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Chuanwen asked suspiciously.

"If you are laughed at, you will be laughed at!" Xian'er heartbroken, and handed over the ledger.

Looking at his daughter-in-law, Zhu Chuanwen suddenly felt that the scene just now had the solemnity of a strong man leaving.

Puzzled, he opened the account book, and immediately understood the crooked words on the account book.

Although his calligraphy is not good-looking, but it is still neat, but compared with Xianer's crooked characters written with charcoal sticks, Zhu Chuanwen's characters are much more pleasing to the eye.

The words outlined with a few strokes on it are comparable to elementary school students.

"Pfft!" Zhu Chuanwen finally couldn't help laughing.

"You're still laughing, you're still laughing!" Xian'er's small hands were elusive, grabbing the soft flesh of Zhu Chuanwen's waist, she didn't use any force, she just pretended to be vicious and threatened Zhu Chuanwen.

Even though he couldn't read, he let himself be the shopkeeper.

She didn't know that Zhu Chuanwen was overwhelmed by the big order of 10 catties of flour at the time, and it was not easy to take care of training Xian'er's character, how could he be so comprehensive.

But seeing that even though Xian'er was writing with a carbon stick, the entire account book was clean, which also proved that this girl, Xian'er, still had this kind of cleverness.

"Xian'er, let me hire you a gentleman." Zhu Chuanwen said suddenly, these days, what is emphasized is that women are virtuous without talent.Therefore, the vast majority of female groups are illiterate.But Zhu Chuanwen didn't want his daughter-in-law to be illiterate.

And when he saw Xian'er writing with a charcoal stick, he suddenly thought about whether he could set up a pencil factory in the future, and write this down first.

"Really?" Xian'er's eyes lit up.

But after thinking about it, my family still owes money to [Chun He Sheng], and [Mai Xiang Ji] has just started to improve, so he refused: "Brother Chuanwen, just teach me tonight."

Zhu Chuanwen saw the light in his eyes just now, and then gradually dimmed. He didn't know what Xian'er was thinking. He led her to pick up his bag, and the white silver coins fell out of it.

Xian'er looked at the money, and the troubles she had just now disappeared in an instant.

This proves that his family's business has been completed.

She can really read!
There was a lot of noise in the shop, which finally surprised Zhu Chunshan who was baking bread in the kitchen.

"Uncle Chunshan, take over Auntie and Xiaowan later." Zhu Chuanwen said to Zhu Chunshan who heard the movement and came to check.

Zhu Chunshan followed Zhu Kaishan through the Guandong. The last time he went back to his hometown in Shandong was to pick up his daughter-in-law and an 8-year-old girl. They were placed in Fangniugou, not far from Zhu Kaishan's home.

Zhu Chunshan will stay with Zhu Chuanwen from now on, this is what Zhu Kaishan has decided.Zhu Kaishan also told Zhu Chuanwen some of Zhu Chunshan's past events. It is Zhu Chunshan's ability to play like a tiger with a sword around his head.

Zhu Chuanwen never imagined that the honest and honest Uncle Chunshan in front of him would have such a hand. According to his father, there are countless foreigners who died under his sword.

When Zhu Chuanwen came back, Xian'er's heart was relieved, and Zhu Chunshan also had a backbone.In Bingcheng, he was not as comfortable as in Zhujiayu and the deep mountains of Guandong, but he was slowly adapting.

Together, the price of flour has not risen for the time being, and this is just an opportunity to promote their bakery. The daily limit is only 50 catties, and it can last for a few days.

In the evening, Zhu Chuanwen accompanied Xian'er and Zhu Chunshan after dinner.

So he took Lieba who was hiding the gold bars and walked towards Andre's house.

The residential area of ​​Russian expatriates is not far from China Street, but the law and order is obviously much better. Even in the evening, there are occasional Russian patrolmen on horseback.

The residential area where Andrei's house is located is also very special in the entire expatriate area. Iron fences surround this area, and the entrance is guarded by soldiers. Russian civilians and Qing Dynasty people also need a pass to enter here.

With a pass, Zhu Chuanwen can naturally enter.

"Boom boom boom!"

Zhu Chuanwen knocked on Andrea's door with "Leba".

"Master Andrea, good evening!"

"You came just in time, and Wisconf just arrived," Andre said. Wisconf was the Russian who went to Zhu Chuanwen's shop with him.

Andre is the colonel of the Quartermaster Department of the Bingcheng Garrison, responsible for the military supplies of the entire garrison, and Wisconf is the lieutenant colonel. According to the salary of the Russian Far East Army, they are actually very rich. There is an income of 500 rubles, but why are they greedy? They even started a business of reselling arms in the ice city.

Because they need money, the promotion of the Tsarist Russian army is not based on military merit and personal ability, but on playing cards and background.

And if the subordinates want to find a backer, they have to use money to open the way.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the entire Far East region and even in Europe is like this, and Zhu Chuanwen also made a mistake.

He didn't know much about the Tsarist Russian army in this period, but he knew about the Moscow police of later generations. The "greyhounds" were always looking for trouble on the streets and asking for bribes.Perhaps this tradition has been inherited in one continuous line, so Zhu Chuanwen boldly tried it.

The meals on the dining table were much richer than those eaten by Zhu Chuanwen's family, with various barbecues and barbeques.

But none of the three made a move, Zhu Chuanwen handed Lieba in his hand to Andre, and Andre weighed it and was very satisfied.

Then I heard Andre take out a piece of paper and read: "Zhu Chuanwen, came to Bingcheng with Tan Xian'er on February 2, bought Lin Dengrong's silk and satin shop at a low price, went to Boris Wine House on the 23th, [Mai Xiangji] 24 The door is open every day, and there is a hired person."

"Mr. Zhu, am I right?" Andre said.

"Master Andre, what is this?" At this moment, Zhu Chuanwen's back was also cold. Why is this Andre investigating his whereabouts?
"Mr. Zhu, a prudent business can last long. Isn't it?" Andre smiled and put on a kind face, as if he wasn't the one who just investigated Zhu Chuanwen's whereabouts. "Do you know [Five Trees]?"

Zhu Chuanwen nodded, it was the name of a place outside the ice city.

"Tomorrow night, where do you take someone to find a birch tree tied with a red rope, there is something you want under the tree!" Andre sat down slowly and said slowly.

Wisconf was listening in a daze.

"You can go!" Andre said to Zhu Chuanwen, with an orderly tone. His status in Bingcheng is indeed high, so it is not surprising to have such a gesture.

After Zhu Chuanwen left, Wisconfu finally couldn't hold back, "Andre, what kind of charades are you two playing?"

"This Zhu Chuanwen wants to buy Mosin Nagant from me." Andre did not shy away from his friend and subordinate.

"What!" Wisconfu's expression changed drastically. He opened his pistol box and was about to chase out. He wanted to kill this Qing man. In his simple mind, he and Andre sold it to a Mongolian caravan." The matter of loss" must have been exposed. In the control area of ​​Bingcheng, if you kill a person from the Qing Dynasty, just call it a thief.

He had already thought of the aftermath rhetoric for himself.

"Come back!" Wisconf was about to go out when he was stopped by Andre who was having dinner.

"Andre, you've already scared the snake!" Wisconfu said angrily. Arms reselling can only be done in private. Can't keep them.

"I just want to scare the snake! I want to see who is behind Zhu Chuanwen." Andre said slowly, from Zhu Chuanwen's office in the garrison area to his own home, he kept putting pressure on Zhu Chuanwen However, if this Zhu Chuanwen was really sent by someone to catch me, then tomorrow, as long as he dares to come, I will sink him in the Songhua River.

This ice city is still his territory, and there is no one who can covet the position under his ass.

From the moment Zhu Chuanwen walked out of Andre's house, there was a group of people staring at him, and all his whereabouts from today to tomorrow will be reported to Andre.

 Thanks to 151017195958689 for the reward, and thanks to Minchao, Yang Yangdeyi, Zong Zhou's eldest son, 20200331004513585, and Chi Hao for the monthly pass.At the same time, I also thank the old men who voted for recommendation.Rong Wang was very grateful.
