Chapter three hundred and seventy seventh: spring brother
At that time, stockings and high heels were not popular, and only a few people wore them, most of them were foreigners. In addition, girls at that time were more conservative, so they would be embarrassed to wear them so much.
Chen Hao took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "Little girl movies, what do you know? This is called innovative service concepts. Only by catering to the customer's mentality and strengthening the service concept business will be good. Do you know? If you didn't watch it, we all have to wear professional clothes and greet every customer with a smile?"
The two little girls were stunned by his jokes, not understanding what he was saying at all, but he was the boss and didn't dare to talk back, so he had to nod and say yes.
After chatting with the two little girls for a while, Hu Bayi and Li Chunlai walked out of the back hall and made a gesture to him, meaning to follow.
Chen Hao understood that Hu Bayi was planning to take Li Chunlai to the hotel and talk while having dinner. Only in this way could he get the business, so he quickly followed.
They have a place that specializes in making meals and discussing business. It is a small restaurant. Every time they go to a small private room on the second floor, and talk while eating.
Everyone came to the private room to sit down, ordered a mutton pot, three pounds of leek meat dumplings, and served a few bottles of beer, and then started chatting.
Hu Bayi took out the cigarette and sent it around, saying, "Brother Chunlai, this place is quiet, don't worry about the ears of the walls. Take out your embroidered fragrant shoe and show it to me so that I can offer you a price."
Chen Hao knew that this guy was hungry and was waiting for food. He said, "Brother Chunlan wait for a while, the mutton pot and leek meat dumplings will come up. Let's talk first."
Li Chunlai looked around and found that the place was indeed very quiet. He relaxed suddenly. He quickly pulled the broken leather bag away, took out the small embroidered shoe, and placed it in front of the two of them for them to show it.
The two of them were immediately attracted by the little embroidered shoe. They have been exposed to antiques a lot during this period and have some appreciation for these antiques.
This is a small shoe less than the size of a palm. The toe is very pointed and less than a holder. It is made of green satin. The sole is made of good sandalwood and a partition in the middle. It can be used to place spices. A rich and powerful peony flower is embroidered with three-color thread on it.
The two picked up the shoes and looked and smelled them. Judging from the workmanship and materials, they should be something from the beginning of the Ming and the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, the shoes must be worn by women from wealthy families, and ordinary people cannot afford to wear them.
There were very few women who had tied their feet in that era. Three-inch golden lotus embroidered fragrance-soled shoes like this are now a very popular collection with high appreciation value. As long as they are genuine, they can make a profit if they sell them.
"Brother Chunlai, where did your shoes come from?" Hu Bayi asked hurriedly.
While he winked at Chen Hao, he asked him whether the shoe was true or not. Chen Hao nodded affirmatively and told him with his eyes that this shoe was definitely a real thing.
Li Chunlai did not hide it and told the origin of the shoe in detail.
Their place has been drought for nine years, especially this year, and it has been severe. There has not been a lot of rain in the year. The villagers are superstitious and think that they have angered the gods, and the gods are angry and punished them.
The villagers found a local fortune-telling blind man and asked him to do a fortune-telling. The blind man said that it did not rain all year round, and it was all caused by drought. It would only rain if it was drought.
The custom of fighting drought was found in many mountainous areas before liberation. Their place was a very remote poor mountain valley, so naturally they have been using such superstitious customs.
The villagers asked the blind man where the drought was. The blind man did not calculate where he was.
A little kid who was herding cattle behind told everyone that when he was passing by an old grave, he saw a child with green hair crawling into an old coffin.
When the blind man heard this, he hurriedly said that the thing was a little drought horn. There was probably another mother, usually the mother and son were evil. He asked everyone to hurry up and catch the drought horn and beat it to death, then expose it to the sun for three days, and then burn it with fire.
The villagers had no choice but to follow the blind man's advice and bring a group of young, strong and fearless death to the old graveyard in the back mountain of the village and found the old coffin.
This old coffin has been seen by people of all sizes in the village. It has been stored here for many years. I don’t know which one it belongs to, but it has not yet been buried.
The villagers selected a few brave ones, stepped forward and uncovered the lid of the coffin, and a stench suddenly floated out of it, almost making the person faint.
Everyone looked inside and found that there was a corrupt female corpse with only skin and bones lying inside. Next to the female corpse, there was a little monster full of green hair, snoring and sleeping!
The clothes worn by the female corpse and the jewelry on her body were obviously from ancient times. When everyone told the blind man about these characteristics, the blind man insisted that the ancient corpse of the mother and son was the rumored drought-ba.
The female corpse has not evolved into a drought worm, but it has turned into a rice dumpling. The little guy is a drought worm. Be sure to beat him to death before dark and burn it with a big fire.
Everyone did not dare to neglect them, so they found a few young and strong people, dragged the little monster out of the coffin, and whipped it with an iron rod and whipped it.
What is strange is that the monster whipped him with an iron rod, and he didn't feel any pain at all. Every time he hit him, a stream of black smoke would come out from his body.
After fighting for more than an hour, the little guy no longer had black smoke, and his whole body shrank halfway. Only then did the villagers burn it to ashes in a fire.
It was already dark and the sky was covered with dark clouds. It was about to rain heavily. The village chief quickly sent someone to burn the coffin, and the rest returned to the village.
The person sent to burn the coffin was Li Chunlai. The blind man told him that the female corpse in the coffin had transformed and must burn her before dark, otherwise she would run out in the middle of the night to avenge her son and suck the blood of the villagers who had beaten Xiao Hanba.
At this time, the villagers all returned home, with only Li Chunlai left in the wilderness. He was afraid to die, but the blind man dared not ignore his words. He quickly lit a torch and lit the dry firewood under the coffin.
Halfway through the fire, the bully Ma Dadan, the village bully, suddenly came here. He pried open the lid of the coffin and plundered all the burial objects in the coffin. He packed a large bag and turned around and was about to leave.
Li Chunlai is a very cowardly person, so he dared not provoke a bully like Ma Dadan. He squatted on the side with his head held his head and pretended not to see it.
Before leaving, Ma Dada glanced at him, then took out an embroidered shoe from his bag and threw it to him, as a hush money, so he told him not to tell what happened tonight, otherwise he would beat him to death.
