Chapter 7 Relief
Zhang Tie drove the car, and once again rushed to a market in Heiyan City where he used to go shopping.
Samira’s money bag was still on Zhang Tie’s body. After letting Samira steal money in Wolf’s Castle, Zhang Tie saw that the money bag was still new, it looked good, and it was also a popular style, so he just let it go. He stayed, not afraid of Samira coming to trouble him.
The two bags of rice I just bought for my family only used up a small half of the silver coins in the wallet, and there are more than 20 gold coins that have not been moved yet.
The money in the purse is equivalent to his father's salary for more than two years before, and it is not a small sum of money for Zhang Tie. At first, Zhang Tie felt a little distressed, but when he thought of those big eyes that were all staring at him Zhang Tie's heart couldn't be hardened by himself, those little guys holding the "We're Hungry" sign.
Zhang Tie felt that it was really God's will. At the beginning, relying on Mother Teresa and the patron saint to teach the name of the nihilistic "contract of the oath of soul and blood", Samira was so scared that she did not dare to bite herself in court. , In the end, I won a big victory, so today, I will use the money on the Rongguyuan of the Guardian God Sect.
Because many ordinary people in Heiyan City have to wait until after get off work at night to have time to buy things, especially after the price of food soars, compared to before, people can buy fewer things each time, but the number of times is more frequent Wake up, so many shops and firms in the bazaar will not close until after ten o'clock in the evening.
He was already very familiar with this market, so Zhang Tie basically didn't wander around, but drove directly to the door of a comprehensive firm whose owner was Chinese.
Just as Zhang Tie got out of the car and took a look at the door, the boss inside the shop greeted him enthusiastically. Like all Chinese doing business abroad, Zhang Tie also saw Tang De's shrewd and capable temperament in this boss.
Zhang Tie looked at the various goods piled up like a hill in the warehouse next to the shop, and nodded secretly.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" The Chinese boss is very enthusiastic. Half of his enthusiasm is due to Zhang Tiehua's appearance, and half is due to the good reputation of the soldiers of the Norman Empire when they spent money in Heiyan City. .
Seeing that Zhang Tie's boss speaks Chinese, in this era, all Chinese people are very united. In the eyes of outsiders, the so-called Chinese are the kind of guys who can form a group with two people, and a group with three people, and a group of five people. In any place, as long as the number of Chinese people exceeds ten, generally no one dares to bully the Chinese people at will.
Zhang Tie didn't say a word, he just threw Samira's money bag over, and the Chinese boss took the money bag.
"All the money is spent here to buy things from you, how much discount can you give?" Zhang Tie also said in words.
The boss only shook his wallet with a smile on his face, "We can give you three discounts at a time for businesses worth more than 20 gold coins, and since you are a Chinese, I can give you another discount." Add one point, give you four points discount, and can help you get free home delivery. The profit of the food business is not much, this is the biggest discount I can give!
"Okay, bring me the manifest, let me see!"
Of course, you don’t need to look at the invoice for small transactions, but for this kind of transaction of more than ten gold coins at a time, the boss will take out an invoice for you to choose from, on which are all the things he has in his warehouse and what he can get.
Looking at the items on the manifest, Zhang Tie began to scan the goods as if ordering food in a restaurant.
50 bags of rice packed in 25 kg...
34 bags of corn packed in 30 kg...
50 bags of flour packed in twenty-five kilograms...
140kg jerky...
98 kg of white sugar...
127 kg of salt...
23 bottles of palm oil in five kilogram packages
17 bottles of alcohol in two kilogram packages...
Zhang Tie said,
The Chinese boss was at the side and quickly recorded with a pen. After recording, he quickly took out his abacus on the table and began to fight. Finally, he deducted the four points of discount he gave Zhang Tie. The final result was 26 gold coins and 18 points. 1 silver coin plus 33 copper coins, he opened the money bag given to him by Zhang Tie, counted the money in it, and was dumbfounded on the spot. There were exactly 26 gold coins, 18 silver coins and 33 copper coins in the money bag. Son.
It's actually exactly the same as the total amount of the goods to be bought.
"What, isn't it enough?"
"Enough, enough, the money in the purse is just enough, a penny is not a lot, I originally wanted to get rid of the change of those 33 coppers!" The boss of the Chinese nationality was sweating slightly on his forehead, and the Norman just now The officers of the empire came to order things casually, and it took less than 30 seconds in total. There are so many and complicated things, and the prices are different. Many of the things they want are not round numbers. This person can't calculate the price in his head when he asks for something. How could it be possible, it took him more than a minute to calculate it with a veteran abacus that he had used for decades, how could this person know the answer at a glance, but if it was a coincidence, it would be even more impossible.
For a while, the Chinese boss only felt that this young Norman Empire officer was unfathomable. How did he know that Zhang Tie's "Pearl and Mind Calculus" has already reached a level that even Zhang Tie can't explain clearly. When Zhang Tie took the invoice just now, he really only looked at the invoice. How many things can be bought with the money really appeared in Zhang Tie's mind. It took Zhang Tie only two seconds to think about it, and he finally determined the goods he wanted.
"Can the car be loaded?"
"Oh, yes, right away! All these things will be shipped from the warehouse. I'll transfer the alcohol from other places, and there may be a delay..."
"Well, hurry up, there are people on my side who are waiting for these things to be put into the pot!"
"Okay, I'll do it for you in ten minutes, come in and drink some water!" The boss became even more attentive.
Ten minutes later, a truck full of goods and four porters accompanying it drove to the west of Heiyan City with the car driven by Zhang Tie. After a while, he came to the orphanage in the civilian area not far from the city wall to the west of Heiyan City.
Mother Teresa and a group of children from the orphanage stood at the gate of the orphanage waiting eagerly, just like when Zhang Tie brought the rice soup. Everyone knew that Zhang Tie would bring some food for everyone, but what no one expected was that what followed Zhang Tie would be a whole truckload of food and the most urgently needed supplies for the orphanage.
Rice, flour, corn, sugar, dried meat, oil, salt, and alcohol.
A truckload, since Mother Teresa established the orphanage, this is the largest donation the orphanage has ever received.
All the children in the orphanage cheered, each and every one of their little faces instantly burst into cheerful smiles, and the cold orphanage suddenly became happy as if welcoming the grandest festival. .
Although it was a bit painful to spend the money at the beginning, Zhang Tie felt warm in his heart when he looked at these children and Sister Teresa's face with light from his heart. A bright, feeling extremely happy.
All of this is worth it - Zhang Tie said to himself, he feels that the real wealth may not be how much money you have, but how many people you can bring happiness and satisfaction to with the money you have.
A miser with a lot of money is definitely not as satisfied and happy as he is now. If he continues to keep the money in his pocket, he will not experience the satisfaction and happiness at this moment.
Having money is a happy thing, but if you can spend money to make people around you happy, then your own happiness, satisfaction, and inner light will really be more!
In such happiness and satisfaction, Zhang Tie almost forgot that his injuries were still not healed, and joined the ranks of the porters, helping to bring the things on the car into the orphanage.
I had just picked up two bags of rice with my left hand, and as soon as I exerted force on my hand, the wounds on my lower abdomen and shoulders suddenly ached.
Zhang Tie gritted his teeth, and after only one move, his face turned sallow, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the two wounds on his body seemed to have become damp again at this moment.
A little girl holding a bag of salt ran over excitedly, and without paying attention, hit her head on Zhang Tie's lower abdomen. The little girl quickly said sorry, but Zhang Tie's face turned pale all of a sudden.
"It's okay, take the things in quickly!" Zhang Tieqiang smiled and sent the little girl away. Then I took a few breaths.
Mother Teresa walked over, her eyes fixed on Zhang Tie's face.
"Are you physically injured?"
"Well, a little injury is fine. These things should be enough for the orphanage to last for a while!" Zhang Tie smiled.
"Can I see your wound?" Mother Teresa asked with concern.
"Ma'am, can you still cure illnesses?" Zhang Tie said in a relaxed and joking tone.
"The radiance of God is everywhere!"
...
When the children and servants in the orphanage were happily preparing a sumptuous dinner for tonight in the kitchen, under Mother Teresa's strong request, Zhang Tie had already taken off his shirt and lay down in the orphanage. A hard plank bed in Mammy's prayer room.
Every once in a while, devout believers of the Grypis sect will close themselves in such a prayer room for seven days, isolated from the outside world, to pray, meditate, and purify their hearts and bodies.
After undoing the gauze and bandage, the two wounds on Zhang Tie's lower abdomen and shoulder sockets had begun to ooze blood again. After carefully checking Zhang Tie's wounds, Mother Teresa asked Zhang Tie to lie in the prayer room and wait. Let her go, she will get a bottle of medicine.
Mother Teresa was very persistent, so Zhang Tie couldn't refuse, so he had to wait in the prayer room.
Two minutes later, Sister Teresa walked in solemnly holding a small box with an unsophisticated appearance made of no discernible material...
The outside of that small box was decorated with silver olive branches of the Grypithian sect. Looking at this box, Zhang Tie knew that the things contained in this box were not simple.
