Traveling through 1942 with space

"Is the boss here? Come and buy someone." Hou Yangmin and his three big men shouted loudly as soon as they entered the door.

Hou Yangmin had been to the city several times, fought a few battles, and had gained experience. Now he was not afraid of meeting the bosses in the city.

"Welcome, welcome! It's a coincidence that you have come here, gentlemen. We have just imported a batch of good goods from the Central Plains. Would you like to take a look?" The head of the hall saw that Hou Yangmin and his companions were dressed in rags but looked very imposing, with pistols on their waists, so he hurriedly came up to them with a smile.

"What a coincidence, I just came in because I saw him on the street.

Bring out the woman in the red coat on the first carriage that came in, I like her." Hou Yangmin didn't dare to say more, he was afraid of being exposed, so he spoke quickly.

"Hey, you have a good eye, this is a good commodity we got in!

Defu, hurry up and bring the man out for this gentleman to see if it's right." After the head waiter finished speaking, he quickly called to the waiter beside him.

After the waiters entered the backyard, the waiter invited them to sit down at the tea table.

"Please sit down and have some tea first. This is the best Mingqian Maojian tea that our boss got from Xinyang." The head waiter smiled and poured tea for everyone.

They were all poor farmers, so how could they know what Maojian was? It was from before the Qingming Festival. After drinking it in one gulp, they only felt that it was not bitter enough, so it was just average!

After a while, the waiter brought Wang Maimiao, Hou Xiaoge's adoptive mother in this life, to the reception room.

At this time, Wang Maimiao had obviously washed up, and the water stains on her face had not been wiped clean. It seemed that the human traffickers were still very positive in order to close the deal.

After Wang Maimiao came in, he kept his head down and didn't dare to look at the people around the tea table. He just listened to the waiter's continuous sales pitch.

"Okay, it's obvious that this woman has given birth to several children. You're bragging like the Empress of the Forbidden City. Just tell me how much you want!" Hou Yangmin followed Hou Xiaoge's advice to say less and make fewer mistakes, and asked directly about the price.

Nowadays, as long as the older generation is still alive, brothers in a family rarely separate and all live in the same big yard.

Wang Maimiao and Hou Yangmin have lived in the same yard for more than ten years. They immediately recognized that it was their uncle by the voice and looked up in surprise.

When Wang Maimiao saw that it was really her child's uncle, and that he brought several relatives from the village, she couldn't help but feel happy and started crying.

"Why are you crying? You will definitely live a good life following this big brother. It's better than starving to death in the Central Plains." The head of the restaurant felt disappointed to see Wang Maimiao crying. He was afraid that it would delay the business, so he quickly scolded her.

Hearing the scolding from the head of the hall, Wang Maimiao quickly stopped talking and lowered his head.

"Boss, just tell me how much this woman costs! We have something urgent to do. If the price is right, we will take her. If not, we will leave." At this time, Hou Yangmin on the side spoke directly.

"Forty, only forty dollars. You can take this beautiful woman who can give birth and warm the bed away directly." Seeing that Hou Yangmin was not playing by the rules, the hall leader also quickly made an offer.

"Why don't you go and rob her? A virgin girl only costs a few dollars. I want five dollars." Hou Yangmin said with his palm open.

"Brother, we transported these back from the Central Plains under fire. The travel expenses alone are a huge sum of money. So, how about thirty-five dollars? It can't be any lower. If it's any lower, we'll lose money." The head of the hall said with a frown.

"Too high. Seven oceans."

"Thirty dollars!"

"Nine oceans!"

……

The farmers were naturally good at bargaining, and after a lot of back and forth, the price of the twenty-three big dollars was no longer willing to go lower, so they had no choice but to make the deal.

Hou Yangmin took out some silver dollars and counted out twenty-three of them. Because it was a private transaction and no official contract had been signed, the buyer could take the silver dollars away directly.

"Let's go! If you follow me, I will definitely let you eat and drink delicious food and drink spicy drinks." Hou Yangmin yelled at Wang Maimiao as Hou Xiaoge taught him, then dragged him out of the door.

From beginning to end, the head of the hall did not realize that the two knew each other, which avoided unnecessary financial expenditure or conflict.

After walking a distance from the dental clinic, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm dying of suffocation. Brother Yangmin, you were so awesome just now. You took us to play tricks on the pawnbroker, and asked him to serve us all the time, and even redeemed Minsheng's wife." At this time, a tribesman on the side finally couldn't help laughing.

After everyone laughed and joked, they finally calmed down.

"Uncle, why did you come to Qin Province? You have money to redeem me. I'm the head of the family!" Wang Maimiao also spoke quickly.

"Oh! It's a long story about a child without a mother." Then Hou Yangmin and a few others told Wang Maimiao what had happened during this period.

When Wang Maimiao heard that she had been sold and her husband had been drafted into the army, leaving her two sons alone and helpless, she burst into tears.

"Third Aunt! Third Aunt!" After they returned to the agreed place, the eldest cousin and his friends saw Wang Maimiao and hurriedly greeted her.

"Mom!" Although Hou Xiaoge was not used to it, his body's instinctive emotions prompted him to shout out.

"My poor Heiwa, mother thought she would never see you again." When Wang Maimiao saw her son, she could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart and burst into tears while hugging Hou Xiaoge.

"Mom, it's all over. Shuanniu and my elder sister are still waiting for you outside the city!" Hou Xiaoge looked at the thin Wang Maimiao, afraid that she would hurt herself by crying, so she hurried to comfort her.

After fleeing from famine for this period of time, Hou Xiaoge also felt the greatness of his original mother.

In order to survive, many parents sold their children, or even abandoned their burdens to escape alone. But the original mother actually sold herself for her children, which was really great.

"Okay, okay, Mom won't cry, don't cry, Mom is happy." Wang Maimiao looked at her eldest son who had grown a lot taller. Although her eyes were filled with tears, she had a bright smile on her face.

On the way back, Wang Maimiao held her son tightly, fearing that someone would separate her from her family.

When everyone passed by the Roujiamo shop, Hou Xiaoge naturally did not forget his promise. He asked everyone to wait and ran into the store to sell Roujiamo.

"Boss, how much are the roujiamo in your shop?" Hou Xiaoge asked as he watched the fat and big-eared boss making pancakes.

"A roujiamo is 2 cents, and they are all freshly made." The fat and big-eared boss said enthusiastically.

"Ermao? Is your meat real? I heard that some people use white meat as pork, but here's a deal, if it's not pork, I'll get someone to smash your store." Hou Xiaoge was afraid of selling white meat, so he stared at the boss and said.

"How can you talk like that at your age! I, Xing Laowu, have been selling Roujiamo in Tongguan for three generations. Don't even think about using the white meat of our ancestors. As long as the meat is not pork, I won't say a word even if you find someone to burn my shop down.

Besides, I cut the meat right in front of you, so you can just watch and eat the bun yourself." The fat boss stabbed the chopping board with his kitchen knife and jumped up, his face flushed red.

When Hou Xiaoge saw the boss like this, he was certain in his heart that this was a genuine honest old Qin man, no doubt about it.

"Uncle, I'm joking with you! I want thirty, but you have to give me a cheaper price." Hou Xiaoge said with a smile.

"Are you looking for trouble, you coward? Thirty roujiamo, do you know how much it costs? You speak like a noodle vendor.

Fart fart fart, hurry up and fart away, don't delay my business." The fat boss laughed and gestured with a kitchen knife to drive the man away.

Hou Xiaoge knew that Qin people were like this, stubborn, stupid, and didn't like to waste time, so he didn't say anything. He just took out six dollars from the money that his uncle had just returned and threw them on the table.

“So cold and cowardly, I didn’t realize that you are so rich at your age, and you are still a young master.

Young Master, are you wearing these tattered clothes to experience life?" The fat boss immediately smiled and praised Hou Xiaoge.
