Chapter 100 Jiayuan City
Lanzhou is the eighth largest of the thirteen states of Yue, but in terms of affluence, it only ranks second after Xinzhou. It is located in the southern part of Yue, with fertile land and countless waterways, lakes, and canals within its jurisdiction, coupled with favorable weather conditions, it is extremely suitable for cultivating rice, and is the nation’s leading grain-producing region.
Jiayuan City, located in the center of Lanzhou, is not the capital city of Lanzhou, but it is the real Lanzhou’s largest city. The Xianglu Grand Canal, which runs through the north and south of the country, passes through the center of the city, and several other major land and waterways also pass through the city, making it an extremely well-developed city, and can be called a hub of water transportation and a major trade and commerce route. Every year, countless merchants and travelers pass through here, which greatly boosts the economic and trade activities here, so it is not unusual for Jiayuan City to become the No. 1 city in the whole state.
In Jiayuan City, there are many car dealerships, wharves, and boat companies of all sizes, spreading all over the city. There are tens of thousands of car drivers, laborers, and boatmen engaged in this line of work, and Sun Ergou is one of the people who relies on the wharf to make a living.
Sun Er Dog, as his name suggests, has a long and crooked look, a rotten pear and bad date of the gangster look, but because he is good at observing words and colors, flattering, but let him mix in the dock as a gang leader, under the management of dozens of drudgery footmen, by helping passing merchants and customers to carry goods and baggage to make a living.
Therefore when Sun Ergou arrived at this small pier early this morning, several of his men hurriedly came over and addressed him respectfully, “Good morning, Second Master!”
”Second Master is here!”
……
When Sun Er Dog heard these addresses, he couldn’t help but feel a little fluttery, after all, to be addressed as “Master”, this also shows that he is also considered a person of status here. Therefore, he put on his full stance and hummed from his nose, even if it was in response to the greetings of these men.
”What second master, isn’t it just a second dog?”
”That’s right, or just a two-legged dog, dog-like dog!”
”Haha! Haha! ……”
……
A burst of sneering and cynical sneers, undisguised, entered Sun Er Dog’s ears.
After hearing this, Sun Er Dog’s face suddenly sank, his mood turning bad in an instant.
He slowly turned his head towards the dozens of people standing on the other side of the pier, and landed his gaze on a big black man with a big waist, a few hints of jealousy flashing in his eyes.
If one were to say that the people in this Jiayuan City that Sun Ergou hated the most, this big black man could definitely be ranked in the top three. If someone told him, with all his family wealth can exchange the black man completely disappeared from the world, Sun Erdog may hesitate for a moment, but if he changed his mind as long as half of his property, then he will not hesitate to agree to, of course, he is because of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, the so-called all the family property in fact, there is not much.
This black man’s original name has long been no one knows what, dock people either call him “black master”, or call his nickname “black bear”. He is the head of another small gang “Iron Fist Club”, and Sun Ergou in his gang “Siping Gang” status is not much different, and therefore also sent to this pier to manage another batch of hard labor.
One mountain does not allow two tigers, let alone this small dock. Therefore, the two groups of people from the beginning is not very opposite, and then after a few times of competition for merchants after the conflict, the relationship between them is even worse. Now see each other, the two groups of people either sneer and curse, or push and shove and ostracize, almost did not greatly out.
The men are still like this, that is not to mention as the biggest beneficiary of this business, Sun Erdog and Black Bear. The two people even look at each other very bad eyes. But as a little bit of status and identity of the gang leader, they are aware of the two where the “Iron Fist Club” and “Siping Gang” is an alliance of gangs, and is jointly fighting against another larger gang “Poisonous Dragon Gang! They are fighting against another larger gang called “Poison Dragon Gang”. Therefore, although both of them wanted to expel each other from this place and monopolize this pier, they could only forcefully tolerate and restrain themselves for the time being. However, their own backlog of dissatisfaction and anger, through the verbal conflict of their men to vent out, this has become a daily morning routine of the two men.
This time, Sun Ergou’s men didn’t wait for him to signal, there were a few eloquent people who nonchalantly counterattacked.
”Do you know what the dumbest of the beasts is?”
”Bears!”
”What’s the dumbest bear among bears?”
”The black bear, of course!”
”Ha……”
The black bear, who had originally listened to his men mocking the other party, revealing a smug look on his face, when he heard this, his face darkened in a flash. On the other hand, Sun Ergou laughed as he patted the shoulders of these men with satisfaction as a sign of encouragement.
Black Bear’s men were not willing to show weakness, all kinds of filthy words were spewed out in bunches. Sun Er Dog’s side will not be polite, we are all big men, who is afraid of who ah! Naturally, what is not good to hear, what is difficult to hear, just pick what to counterattack.
As their head of the Sun two dogs and black bears, do on the side of the cold eyes watching, they are a bit of status, naturally can not join this shrew-like scolding activities.
Just as the two groups of people said dry mouth, spittle flying at the time, suddenly Sun Erdog’s a henchman exclaimed: “There is a boat approaching!”
This sentence immediately let the cursing rise of nearly a hundred big man, hula a, all closed the voice, while turning his head toward the river to look. After all, the silver can be more tempting than a time of verbal pain.
But when the big men to see clearly on the dock of the boat, but some disappointment, that is just a flat leaf boat, look at the situation can only sit down at most three or five merchants like, Ken is not what big business door.
This is no wonder, this pier and broken and small, and the location is also very remote, under normal circumstances, of course, there will not be any big boat to here. Only when the peak season of trade, there will be in other docks can not rely on the shore of the large ship, had no choice but to disembark here.
This small boat, after stopping at the pier, two people came down from the boat. One of them was an ordinary-looking young man of 17 or 18 years old, while the other was a huge man who was more than two heads taller than an ordinary man.
The young man wore an ordinary green shirt with a small yellow bird resting on his shoulder, and just after getting off the boat, he looked around, looking like a country bumpkin who just entered the city. The giant man, on the other hand, wore a cloak and a green robe, not being able to see his face, dressed in a somewhat bizarre manner. Giant man closely behind the young man, do not move an inch, a look of subordinate servants.
This young man and the giant man, it is the road for three months in a row, only just arrived in the hometown of Dr. Mo Han Li and Qu Soul.
