1878 Two or Twenty?

This chaos was really caused by Wang Chen. Just after the first batch of Chinese soldiers boarded the dock, this group of soldiers with unique temperament immediately attracted the attention of the locals.

Xiao Letian has always believed in the policy of elite soldiers. The Chinese army has always been a place with a very high elimination rate. There are soldiers who have been scrapped in the new recruits almost every day. The soldiers who have passed the layers of strict selection are waiting for them. The best equipment and best treatment in the world.

All the things they wear are top-notch military products. Even the lowest-level recruits receive three silver dollars in military pay every month, and the cost of food is not enough.

The soldiers raised by elite soldiers are born with a unique temperament, and they attract the attention of countless indigenous people as soon as they appear on the dock.

Smart businessmen will observe all the clothing on soldiers, such as what level of boots are, what kind of tobacco they smoke, occasionally the pocket watch chain exposed outside their pockets in the military uniforms, and even the grade of buttons can be seen.

What surprised the natives even more was that they were obviously a group of yellow-skinned faces, but they had the same confident temperament as British soldiers, and their aura was even stronger.

This is a group of rich men, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking them to do business. Soon people at the docks realized this. The bold hawkers began to sell their goods in broken English.

Buy some wine, eat some fruits, and other things, and there has been no trouble yet. It was not until a gem merchant came to Wang Chen that a big conflict was triggered.

Wang Chen had already pretended to be a woman in his heart, that was the female principal I met on Kalimantan Island. After that unsuccessful confession, Wang Chen was not only not discouraged but was even more full of fighting spirit. He vowed that he would chase her in his life.

This time, one of the important purposes of getting ashore was to choose a gift for your girlfriend. When the colorful gems were brought to him, he confirmed that this was the best gift for a woman.

Wang Chen did not exchange too much pounds before getting off the ship, but only exchanged them for more than a dozen pennies, because he did not expect that he would spend so much money to sell such expensive goods, but the dragon pattern silver coins in his pocket could be filled with age and a young man.

He took out a silver coin in dragon pattern and communicated with the vendor in English to ask him if he wanted this kind of money. Unexpectedly, the powerful Chinese merchants in Nanyang had already done their business here. The merchants in the Galle area knew this exquisite silver coin, and they all nodded.

After careful selection, Wang Chen took a fancy to this beautiful sapphire, and the next thing he did was to give the price.

"Hey, the problem lies in the price mark. Both of us have bad English. They both have strange accents and have no translation around us. As a result, we can only rely on gestures."

Wang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "The other party stretched out four fingers, how could I get fooled? I just stretched out one finger, but that guy must have disagreed. Shaking his head was like a rattle."

"I also have a firm attitude. I turned my head and left, but he was scared and turned into three fingers."

Wang Chen tilted his head and said in a very angry tone, "I, Wang Chen, have seen the world, want to kill me? Grandma, I just reached out and broke one of his three fingers, and he was so painful that he bared his teeth!"

"I just said, that's all, do you want it? If you don't want it, I'll leave and see, we're so domineering!"

"I'm still blowing!" Ye Qiu next to him looked at his butt and kicked, "I blush for you! Don't blow on what's happening next, it's not embarrassing."

"Head of the People's Republic of China, the vendor nodded. I was very reluctant to start with this kind of animal, but when I was paying for it, I definitely took advantage of it.

, I realized that the hawker's face changed drastically!”

Ye Qiu said with a blushing face, "Damn, you actually counted twenty dragon-patterned silver coins! When they threw them one by one into the vendor's hands, the vendor's face turned pale!"

"At the beginning, we thought the vendor lost money and was so naughty, but when the twenty silver coins were counted, the vendor, who was like a black monkey, turned around and ran away, running faster than a donkey."

"What's the end?" Xiao Letian finally understood and asked with a smile.

Wang Chen scratched his head, "As a result, after all, after more than ten minutes, so many jewelry vendors rushed out and surrounded us."

"Oh God! Hahahaha" The British sheriff who listened to the story suddenly bent over and said, "My God! You made a mistake. The fingers of the vendor extended represent single digits. Why did you upgrade to ten digits by yourself?

"He means two silver coins, not twenty hahahaha"

At this moment, he finally realized it suddenly. Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment. The military police laughed enough and quickly ordered his Sikh headscarves to go and maintain order.

Wang Chen said aggrievedly, "Who knows that gems are so cheap here! There are no 50 or 60 silver coins in Ryukyu gems that can't be taken down!"

At this time, Ermao's figure appeared behind Zai Chun who was stunned. He took the gem and looked carefully. "Well, if the gem of this quality is polished, it will be sent to the Liuli Factory at least 200 taels!"

"Is it right?" Wang Chen waved his hand aggrievedly. "Who could have thought that there were so many gems in this ghost place? It's so damn!"

The riots on the pier were not a big deal, but the result was that Xiao Letian, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the King of Ryukyu were involved, which immediately alarmed the defenders in the Galle Castle. Major General Jason, who had just arrived ashore, personally brought the soldiers to help.

After listening to the sheriff's report, Major General Jason smiled, "Dear Head, this magical island is like this. There are so many gems here. If you are interested, I can lead you to visit!"

Before Xiao Letian nodded, King Shangtai, who was obsessed with the adventure, was excited, "Great, master, let's take a look. I want to see with my own eyes how the gems were collected!"

Anyway, there was nothing wrong, Xiao Letian finally nodded, and under the escort of Major General Jason and the locals, a team of 150 people began to advance into the northern dense forest path.

Before leaving, Jason said to the sheriff, "Notify Chinese friends to buy gems at licensed stores. Although it is more expensive, the quality is guaranteed, and there will be no such joke!"

"Dear Your Majesty, King, Head of State, the entire gem mining area of ​​Sri Lanka is located in Ratnapur City, more than 50 kilometers north of Galle. Speaking of which, the Galle area is also the edge of the main mining area. We must have no time to go anywhere, but five kilometers outside Galle City

16d0

There is a big gem mining area.”
