Xia Xun found that there were a lot of things to do in the original bathhouse, such as purchasing firewood, towels, toiletries, arranging people to collect money, boiling water, rubbing baths, miscellaneous things, a lot of things, fortunately, the original team of the original shopkeeper was retained by Xia Xun, everything is still as usual, and he basically doesn't need to worry too much.
It's just that because Texas suddenly swarmed into a large number of troops, the number of bathing men increased sharply, so Xia Xun hired a few new big men and expanded the team of bathing masters.
This makes the bath master Lao Jia very unhappy, Lao Jia is the old man of Baiquan Mixed Hall, both of them are highly skilled bath masters here, rubbing baths, knocking on the back, pedicures, cupping, scraping, all kinds of craftsmanship make people give a thumbs up, the two of them are in the mixed hall of men and women, basically equivalent to the same character as the foreman.
Recently, because his wife has a big belly, he has to go home to recuperate, Lao Jia has lost half of his income, and he was counting on more guests to make more efforts to earn some money, who knows that the shopkeeper hired a few more people to come back, these newcomers looked at the five big and three thick, rubbed up the bath and clumsy not to say, more people also robbed his business.
But he can only scratch his hair, after all, people are the shopkeepers.
Especially the new shopkeeper is very good at talking, he introduced his sister-in-law to find some work to do, Xia shopkeeper agreed very happily, he used to be the shopkeeper to collect money by himself, and now he handed over this easy job to his sister-in-law, Lao Jia felt that this was the shopkeeper's selling his face, and he was very proud in front of other bathing masters and his mother-in-law.
But only a few days later, Lao Jia felt that something was not quite right, he felt that the shopkeeper left his sister-in-law to do things, not necessarily for his face, he found that the shopkeeper was very good to his sister-in-law, and he was always very polite when he smiled before speaking.
His sister-in-law's name is Su Xinchen, a little girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her flower handkerchief and thorn hairpin cloth skirt look a little rustic.
Later, when I inquired, the shopkeeper of Xia was more than thirty years old, and he hadn't married his mother-in-law yet, Lao Jia was even more worried, and reminded his sister-in-law a few times in private, telling her not to give her a good face surnamed Xia, and stay away from him, the little girl didn't listen to him, and she liked to be sticky with the shopkeeper Xia.
"Shopkeeper, you didn't do this before, did you?"
Su Xinchen propped his hand on the counter and held his chin to look at Xia Xun.
Xia Xun said: "Yes, originally my hometown was in the north, King Yan rebelled, and there was chaos everywhere, so he fled here, thinking that he couldn't sit and eat empty, it just so happened that the shopkeeper here wanted to resell the mixed hall, and it was not a difficult guy to do it, as long as he could endure hardship, I would take it down." ” "Oh, I said."
Su Xinchen's dark eyes rolled, glanced around, and quietly approached Xia Xun: "Shopkeeper, I think you are a real person, I can't bear to see you being bullied, I have something to tell you." ” Xia Xun hurriedly leaned over and said, "What's the matter?"
The little girl covered her mouth and whispered: "I said shopkeeper, don't be so affordable, buy soaphorns, pig ling, bath beans and other things, even if you don't follow, you have to find a trustworthy person, Jin Zhan, who is in charge of purchasing, is a person who likes to be greedy and cheap, and the former shopkeeper is shrewd, he doesn't dare to coax others, bully you newcomers, don't know how to do it" Xia Xun frowned: "What's the matter, where did you lie to me?"
Su Xinchen said: "Oh, look, this pancreas, he used to buy the worst grade, put it in it for the guests to use casually, how much can be used now, the pancreas he bought back are all the best, this, called face medicine, has the effect of chilblain cream, and the fragrance, it is much more expensive than the original one, he bought it well, and there are many benefits of collecting the store, but you won't lose it if you are the shopkeeper."
"Well, there's such a thing."
Xia Xun's frowning brows suddenly expanded, and he patted the counter and said, "I'll go find him."
"Whoa" Su Xinchen grabbed him: "Shopkeeper, don't be angry, such an old uncle, not as calm as my yellow-haired girl, let me tell you, why Jin Zhan is responsible for buying his own uncle and brother here is a famous big splash in our Texas City, let's let his relatives work here, we can save a lot of trouble."
You say it, don't let him get off the stage too much, just click and let him restrain himself. ” Xia Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard this, nodded and said, "Well, I know." ” Xia Xun turned around to find Jin Zhan, who was in charge of purchasing, Su Xinchen held his chin and stared at his back, grinned, and said to himself: "The shopkeeper's smile is quite good-looking."
"Lao Jin" Xia Xun slapped a box of noodle medicine in front of him with a "snap": "This pancreas, how much have you entered?"
Jin Zhong looked at it, startled, he watched coldly for two days, seeing that this shopkeeper is indeed a novice, so he wanted to get more benefits, unexpectedly, although he has a cousin who is a capable person in Texas, but let the shopkeeper grab the handle with his own hands, and he was embarrassed, he stood up with a red face, and said sarcastically: "The shopkeeper, that's the case, when I went to buy, it happened that the pancreas we often buy were out of stock, but there were many customers recently, and I calculated" Xia Xun smiled: "Don't think about it, hurry up and buy all the pancreas that can cure chilblains in our Texas City, don't leave a box, you know?"
"Ahh Jin Zhan was a little stunned, and said authentically: "Buy it all back" Xia Xun said: "By the way, buy it all back, you have to ensure that all the goods are here, all of them are here, I know you can get some benefits from the store."
Jin Zhan's old face flushed, and he defended: "Shopkeeper's" Xia Xun waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you can earn more this time, I'm not afraid of you earning, but you have to do something for me." ” Jin Zhan hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, you say, you say, as long as Lao Jin can do it, he will never frown." ” Xia Xun said with a smile: "You must be able to do this, I want you to find some people to help, shouting a few times everywhere, especially in front of those who are soldiers, shouting signboards to our Baiquan Mixed Hall, just say that our Baiquan Mixed Hall is bathing in hot water, and there is facial medicine to treat chilblains, you also know that so many soldiers outside the city of Dezhou have just been withdrawn from Beiping, and I don't know how many people have chilblains, so shout, you understand" Jin Zhan's eyes lit up, his thumb cocked, and he praised: "Shopkeeper, your head melon seeds are too useful, high, really high" Xia Xun smiled: "Okay, go and do something, the first thing, buy all the noodle medicine first, and then go to do this, there are many people coming, and all kinds of bathing utensils are consumed, and the benefits of your Lao Jin are naturally too, understand" "Understood, understood."
Jin Zhan smiled, hurriedly pulled up his sheepskin robe, and ran out before he put it on.
"Shopkeeper, people are going home with their brother-in-law, see you tomorrow."
"I'll see you tomorrow."
Xia Xun smiled and watched Su Xinchen being pulled out by Lao Jia with an old face, while stroking his fake beard, making a kind and hazy shape.
There are still a few people left in the mixed hall to scrub the pool and do the aftermath, of course, these jobs are the work of the new bathing masters, and when they finish their work, the other workers have all gone, and on the door panel in front, several people gathered around Xia Xun.
There was only an oil lamp lit on the table, and Xia Xun said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about it, what news have you heard today?"
"Hey, what's the news?"
A man with a big towel on his shoulder, a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, started to scratch it, and when he finished talking, Xia Xun said calmly: "Well, they said that the number of people who sleep in a tent at night is three times as large, the snoring is shocking, the smell of stinky feet makes people dizzy, and there are two groups of people who fought last night, and there are many faces, what does this mean?"
Xia Xun inspected the circle and found that his inspired surname speech was ineffective, and several big men were ducks who didn't understand when they heard Lei, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Everyone, you remember clearly, you are now a secret spy, and your only task is to collect intelligence."
In the future, you have to use your brain more and less knives, just fighting and killing is not enough, it stands to reason, I should train you well, but time is urgent, you can only do things while learning how to do things.
Take these things you have heard, Xu Qing, there are three times as many people sleeping in the tents, which shows that at least their military tents are not enough. ” Xu Qing rolled his bull's eyes and said, "My lord, I know this, what's the use of that?"
"What is the use of the first, it means that they do not rest well at night, if it takes a long time, the combat power will definitely be affected, right the second, this shows that they need a large number of military tents, and the military tents are easy to burn, if we need to cut off the enemy's supplies, we can know in advance what the enemy is transporting, if we go to attack their supply convoys, do not even need to get close, as long as the rocket is launched from a distance, it can ignite the tent, achieve the goal, reduce casualties, right Third, it's winter now, it's good to say, if it's summer, then what will happen One of the most important things in the army is epidemic prevention, thousands of troops are together, once the epidemic starts, it is a very terrible thing, if you know this situation in advance, deliberately throw a few sick cats and dogs near their camp, as long as a few soldiers get sick, what will happen This is just I listened to your intelligence, and thought of it in a hurry, do you say it's useless?"
"Smack" Xu Qing slapped his thigh fiercely, nodded again and again: "Understood, understood, subordinates understood." ” Xia Xun said with a smile: "That's not all, when you listen to them taking a bath, you also scolded the soldiers transferred from Jingzhou to fight with them in a tent, which shows why they are Fengyang soldiers, how to mix with Jingzhou soldiers in a tent It may be because they have just escaped back, and the army has successively contained the stragglers who have escaped and have not yet been arranged."
It is also possible that Li Jinglong deliberately disrupted the armies from different places, lest they have different intentions and look at each other in wartime, don't look at them fighting happily now, being in the same army is always better than having clear barriers, not to mention that after a period of getting along, they may not be so tense, men.
So what exactly is the reason for this, which requires further intelligence gathering. ” Xu Qing nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said convincingly: "My lord, my subordinates understand." ” Xia Xun asked a few people about the fragmentary conversations they had heard one after another, helping them analyze the information revealed behind these words, and finally said: "I understand, a few more heart-to-heart eyes, an unintentional word, it is likely to reveal quite important information, with this sentence, we may successfully sneak attack the enemy camp and successfully ambush the enemy's route in advance, which is much more effective than you personally wielding a knife into battle and killing a few people." ” Several of his subordinates nodded one after another, and Xia Xun said again: "Okay, the brother we entered, what news did we bring here?"
A few people also reported to Xia Xun the news that the secret spies of the northern army who accompanied the imperial court to the south and mixed into the southern army took the opportunity to take a bath and secretly told them, Xia Xun first wrote down all the information, and then clicked on it, and muttered: "The news they sent back is not much better than the news you learned from the side, let them mix in it first, if you can't get an important position, you won't be able to get an important military plane after all, but at the critical moment, you can play a big role in the battlefield." ” He closed the small notebook, looked up and said, "If there is no other news, let's go back to sleep."
However, I remember them all."
Xia Xun's face became serious, and he said sharply: "To do things under me, you must always be vigilant, and you must not drink alcohol, you also know now how much important information will be leaked by a sentence of unintentional, if you don't raise your vigilance, a word of unintentional, you may bury all of us here, so, I repeat, if anyone violates my three commandments, once they are found by this official, they will be executed immediately, understand?"
Xia Xun's voice was full of emotion, it was definitely not a joke, those big men were all veterans of the battlefield who killed people without blinking, and they were also stunned, and hurriedly responded, Xia Xun was just about to wave them away, when he saw that Xu Qing looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "What, you have something to say" Xu Qing ate and said: "I also heard them talk about a girl, I thought that there was nothing big about the girl, so I didn't say it."
But after listening to the adult's words, my heart suddenly burst, if I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep when I go back. ” Xia Xunqi said: "What kind of woman is a woman?"
Xu Qing said: "My subordinates heard that Li Jinglong brought a girl with him, who usually wears a military uniform, pretends to be a colonel, and waits beside him.
Li Jinglong spoiled this girl very much, and sent a few small school attendants to wait, and they scolded and scolded while taking a bath, this news is useless."

Xia Xun was silent for a long time, and sighed deeply: "Alas, Xu Qing, among all the information collected by this official tonight, this one is the most useful."
"Ahh To be continued:
