The
rickickshaw driver scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled honestly,""Young Master Shen is effective. My master said that a lowly name is easy to raise."
Buttface's original name was Gou Li. Although he looked old, his actual age was only 22 years old.
Buttface looked at the eunuch in front of him and felt very comfortable chatting with him.
He didn't have that domineering aura, nor was he looking down on others. The key was his heroic spirit. In 10 days, he had pulled him alone. In total, he could earn 300 wen. Where else could he find such a good thing?
Although Buttface said it well, he could earn more than 100 wen a day.
The rickshaw driver didn't have any skills, and the competitive pressure was also very high. Sometimes, the money earned by running for a day wasn't even enough for the rental fee. Therefore, Buttface's biggest dream was to have his own van.
Many people in the surroundings looked at Shen Hao speechlessly. He was really a prodigal.
A pair of eyes in the crowd stared intently at Shen Hao's pocket, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.
Shen Hao sat on the rickshaw and looked at the armed soldiers at the entrance of the Forbidden City. He remembered that although Pu Yi had abdicated, he still lived in the Forbidden City. There were still many old and young people from the Qing Dynasty.
Although Shen Hao had visited the Forbidden City before, it was only after it was opened. It was full of tourists, which was different from today.
Without the emperor, eunuchs, palace maids, and concubines, there would be no feeling at all. It would be like looking at a pile of dead objects.
Now, in the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the little emperor was still around, and there were concubines and eunuchs in the harem. Shen Hao's curiosity was still very strong.
Life in the Qing Palace was still luxurious, and many eunuchs and palace maids were still around.
The Republic of China overthrew the Qing Dynasty.
However, the imperial power had fallen, and these eunuchs and serving girls no longer respected him, the little emperor.
In order to be lazy, the palace maids and eunuchs were played badly by the palace maids during their puberty, causing them to no longer be human.
In the end, Empress Wanrong and Concubine Wenxiu were both widowed. The Empress even started smoking and went crazy all day. In the end, she even divorced.
When he thought of this, Shen Hao sighed. This Emperor was really cowardly.
However, when he saw the Northern Army standing guard outside the palace, he gave up on the thought of taking a look.
The current him really did not have the power to ignore these soldiers.
In this day and age, killing people was as easy as cutting grass.
Disappearing for no reason was no different from crushing an ant.
Shen Hao's desire to spend money grew stronger as if he felt a sense of urgency.
Beep beep beep!
A car horn sounded, scaring Shen Hao.
Footsteps could be heard as hundreds of soldiers guarded the two Fords on both sides as they drove towards the palace.
The soldiers on duty saluted the car.
"Yuan Shikai's ostentatious act is really not small."
"Nonsense, if there was no one to protect him, he would have been killed many times."
"Shh, lower your voice. Be careful not to arrest you."
"What are you afraid of? Now that the whole country is rebelling, his life is not good either."
Shen Hao's attention was on the old car. This thing should be worth a lot of money. I'll get one in a few days.
In this era, there was no such thing as a domestic car or a joint venture car. This kind of Ford classic car was all imported from America.
As for the price, Shen Hao really didn't know much.
After the army left, Shen Hao asked curiously,""Gou Li, do you know how much this Ford costs?”
This was the first time someone had called his name. Gou Li's heart was still very warm. He felt that he was living like a human.
A simple and honest smile appeared on his tanned face, and his expression was a little reserved. He said embarrassedly,"Young Master Shen, please call me Buttface. I'm not used to you calling me by my name. I feel uncomfortable all over."
Shen Hao was speechless. He didn't know what to say. He just felt that calling someone Buttface was a little disrespectful.
"Well, Buttface, do you know how much this Ford costs?”
Gou Li nodded, then exclaimed,"You mean this car? This thing is expensive. One car costs
4000 yuan." "It's so cheap," Shen Hao said doubtfully.
He could earn 86 yuan a day. When the pocket watch leveled up by two, it would be 172 yuan a day. That meant that he could buy one in less than a month.
Hearing this, Gou Li's brain short-circuited. This was completely beyond his understanding. He gulped and said in shock,"4000 yuan is cheap?”
In the 21st century, 4000 yuan was equivalent to a few million yuan.
Gou Li felt that his worldview was about to be overturned. This Old Master Chen was really too rich.
He looked at Shen Hao in awe and said again,""This car costs 4000 yuan, and it's cheap.
This rickshaw of mine costs 50 yuan. I have to save for three years to buy a rickshaw.
He would never be able to afford a car in this lifetime.
And I heard that the driver of this rickshaw costs 15 yuan a month, not counting the gas he drinks.
"I heard that gasoline is really expensive. These cars cost 80 yuan a month to drink gasoline. Just thinking about it makes my legs go weak. What kind of family can spend so much? How much food can they buy?"
Shen Hao was stunned. It was not because of the price, but because he remembered that gasoline was very expensive these days.
Shanghai was known as the Oriental Pearl, and gasoline was a luxury. During the war, gasoline would be military-made, and you wouldn't be able to buy it even if you wanted to.
"Young Master Shen, 4000 yuan for this car is really not worth it.
There was a seller in the north of the west section of the alley inside Fucheng Gate. There were three main rooms, four wing rooms, two south rooms, one side room, and one gatehouse. There were a total of eleven rooms, covering half an acre. The price was only 150 yuan. There were very few people who bought it, and the people were unstable.
"You're spending 4000 yuan, what else can you buy?" Gou Li felt that Shen Hao was a little prodigal and tried his best to persuade him.
