The first day after circumcision is the most uncomfortable. After the sensitive head of the disobedient guy below is completely exposed, just put on the pants and walk around casually, and the guy's head can be rubbed against the underwear. Zhang Tie was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he even became cautious when walking. :
In addition, the surgical wound began to hurt.
It was probably because the anesthesia on the disobedient guy yesterday was not completely removed, so he didn't feel it obviously. But on the second day, after all the sensations were completely restored, the sequelae of the operation were fully revealed. I thought that I was still with Tang yesterday. Zhang Tie himself was sweating when that guy called a few women to toss him around in the Juxian Tower. If it were done today, he would never do this. It was so stupid.
In two days, he will officially report to the Iron Blood Camp, which means he is leaving this home. In six days, he will have his first duel. In addition, the guy below is really uncomfortable, so Zhang Tie will stay here honestly. Home.
In the eyes of his parents, Zhang Tie has really grown up this time.
Zhang Tie's father also has a day off. Due to various reasons, the operating rate of the factory where Zhang Tie's father and his friends are working has been somewhat insufficient in the past month. The father said that there are now several engineers from the Norman Empire in the factory. , are currently adjusting several newly installed molds on the factory production line. The newly installed molds will produce standardized steel components in the future. Engineers from the Norman Empire said that those components are combined modules of the battle fortress. In the future, Half of the production capacity of the steel plant where Zhang Tie's father and the others work will be used to produce the combined modules of those battle fortresses.
After swallowing Black Flame City, the Norman Empire has begun to digest all aspects of the production capacity of Black Flame City, and the digestion of these production capacities has only one direction - to prepare for war. This left Zhang Tie slightly confused. Could it be that in the eyes of the decision-makers of the Norman Empire, there was a bigger war yet to come. Need to prepare in advance. Thinking of what Jerome said to himself during the trial about the coming troubled times, Zhang Tie's heart sank slightly, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart again.
Sometimes, little people are generally kept in the dark about things that big people know. This is the tragedy of little people. The natural history teacher said that this phenomenon is due to the asymmetry of information that everyone has, and behind the information asymmetry is everyone's strength and interests. asymmetry with rights.
I heard that before the catastrophe, the human world had a magical tool called the Internet. At that time, people could stay in touch with each other at any time and share the news around them even though they were hundreds of millions of miles apart. The Internet has connected people all over the continent. People can easily obtain a large amount of knowledge and information on the Internet, and can easily know what is happening in even the most remote corners of the entire continent.
It was the first time in human history that we used the magic called technology to build an information sharing platform for all mankind. The biggest role of this platform is to connect the information gaps caused by the gap in interests and power between ordinary people and big shots. Symmetry is reduced to the extreme, which greatly promotes social fairness. Ordinary people like this network and do everything possible to develop it. And some big figures who want to continue to use information asymmetry to maintain their dominance and vested interests hate this network, and they want to destroy it in every possible way.
This kind of struggle lasted until the cataclysm and the Star of God appeared. The cataclysm and the Star of God caused mankind to lose this magical network forever. Humanity has once again returned to the era of extreme information asymmetry...
In the next two days after the operation, Zhang Tie was at home, spending two leisurely days with his family and recuperating quietly.
Originally, if nothing happened. In the past few days, Zhang Tie was not going to go out and run around. Every second he spends in this home now makes Zhang Tie feel precious. But early on the third day, after a little boy delivered a letter to Zhang Tie's home, Zhang Tie had to put on casual clothes again and go out.
The letter was written by Tang De, asking Zhang Tie to go to the grocery store anyway today. The notes on the letter were very familiar. There was even a secret code Tang De taught him to identify the authenticity of the letter, which was very useful. Little tricks.
The little boy who delivered the letter said that the grocer paid him a silver coin to run an errand to deliver the letter.
Zhang Tie didn't doubt the little boy's words, but was just a little surprised. When did that guy Tang De become so generous, just one silver coin? If it were normal times, it would be good if the iron rooster could give out ten copper coins.
After explaining to his family, Zhang Tie went out, spent a few coins, and took a subway train. In less than twenty minutes, he appeared at Tang De's grocery store.
The grocery store was not open today, with only one door open, seemingly waiting for Zhang Tie. After Zhang Tie entered, he saw Tang De and another person counting things at the counter of the store.
"Wait a moment, I'll be here soon!" Seeing Zhang Tie come in, Tang De turned to say something to Zhang Tie, and then continued to count the things in the store with the man.
Zhang Tie also knew the man who was counting things with Tang De. That man was Phils, a guy as thin as a monkey. He was the owner of another larger grocery store near the train station flea market. In the past two years, , because of the location of Tang De's grocery store, he has come several times to buy Tang De's grocery store. Tang De didn't agree before. Looking at the situation today, has Tang De already sold out the grocery store
For some reason, Zhang Tie felt that Tang De's temperament today was obviously different from before.
Zhang Tie waited quietly aside, and it took almost ten minutes before the two of them finished palletizing the goods in the store.
Phils closed the account book with satisfaction and said tentatively, "Boss Tang De, the records in the account book are consistent with the items in the store, but you also know that the current environment in Black Flame City is not very good. During the boom, many shops have closed and many rich people have left, so I may not be able to give you the same price as before!”
"Say a price!" Tang De said calmly.
"Well, how about 60% of the previous price, including the shop and goods, for a total of 300 gold coins?" Fiers's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and he tried hard to observe the expression on Tang De's face as he spoke.
Upon hearing this price, Zhang Tie almost jumped up before Tang De said anything. Even though Black Flame City has experienced a crisis, the business of this grocery store has not been affected much at all. It has improved a lot in the past two months. The train There are more and more people coming and going near the station, and the place is more lively than before. Even if the properties in Black Flame City have depreciated, the things in the store have been appreciating recently, such as the powerful rat poison and those crystals. I want to use them for 300 gold coins. Buy it, the price is really too bad.
"400 gold coins!" Tang De said.
I don’t know why, but Tang De, who used to be quite nagging, actually felt like he was precious with words today. He opened his mouth and told the price, but didn’t say a word at all.
Phils tried hard to observe Tang De's calm face with his brown eyes for more than ten seconds, as if he wanted to see something. In the end, he did not bargain, but nodded, "Okay, just 400 gold coins." !”
Later, Phils called the transaction notary. The notary brought the transaction text. Tang De took out the deed of the shop. Phils took out 400 gold coins and borne the fair expenses of the transaction. and other taxes, the transaction was quickly completed at the grocery store.
"This store still needs a knowledgeable clerk. In the first year, I will give you a salary of 35 silver coins per month. In the second year, you will get a commission on the transaction. If you do well in the future, you can be the manager of the store. How about, come here Help me?"
To Zhang Tie's surprise, after the transaction was completed, Phils actually came up with his own idea and wanted to come here to continue working for him.
"Thank you, I already have other jobs!" Zhang Tie declined politely.
Phils looked at Zhang Tie with regret, "It doesn't matter. If you want to come here in the future, you are always welcome! It's not easy to train a knowledgeable guy now!"
"Let's go!" Tang De greeted Zhang Tie after packing his money bag, and then the two of them left the grocery store.
Tang De felt a little strange today. Zhang Tie had a lot to say, but didn't know how to say it. Logically speaking, Tang De's selling of grocery stores was none of his business, but for some reason, Zhang Tie felt a little congested in his chest.
After following Tang De for almost 50 meters, Zhang Tie finally couldn't help it anymore, "Why did you sell the grocery store?"
Tang De turned his head, glanced at Zhang Tie, and actually shook his head, "I originally thought you could endure it for a while before asking, but it seems you still don't have enough concentration!"
asshole! Zhang Tie had a black line on his forehead, but he actually opened his mouth. There was no need to show off in front of Tang De, so Zhang Tie immediately started to fight back, "It couldn't be that yesterday's meal that bankrupted you, right? If so, that would be really embarrassing!”
"A meal of more than ten gold coins can bankrupt me?" Tang De glanced at Zhang Tie contemptuously, "Yesterday's kind of consumption is nothing, it is just to fill up the scene in a small and remote place like Black Flame City. That’s it, country bumpkin, I’ve been to places where drinking a glass of water costs hundreds of gold coins!”
A glass of water costs hundreds of gold coins? Zhang Tie curled his lips, feeling that Tang De was bragging. How could there be a place like this in the world, with hundreds of gold coins, and his father's salary in 1989 could only be exchanged for a glass of water
Zhang Tie put the word "disbelief" on his face, Tang De didn't say much, but just walked with Zhang Tie with his head downcast. After walking for almost ten minutes, Tang De led Zhang Tie to a six-story apartment covering an area of more than 200 square meters on Monet Street in the east of Black Flame City.
"How is this house?" Tang De asked Zhang Tie.
"Very good!" Zhang Tie replied casually.
"Then, from now on, it's yours!" Tang De also said casually.
Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment...
