It's the middle of summer.

As a border city of the Chu state, the buildings of Los Angeles were overly reliant on stone, and once it was past noon, the streets and the surfaces of the houses continued to heat up, and they would be as hot as steamers.

There were fewer pedestrians on the street, and some of the people in poor health in the stalls packed up and went home early.

Wang Shentong hid in the shade to enjoy the coolness, he rolled up his clothes to reveal his white belly, and watched Yinglin do push-ups against the sun.

After a few hours, none of them were sold, everyone is usually used to seeing wood carvings, clay sculptures, and suddenly saw a white thing, I don't know what it is. Occasionally, customers come to inquire about the price, and when they see that the stall owner is a child, they always want to take advantage of it.

"The quality of the thing is average, can it be cheaper?" In fact, in the market, this kind of quality is already a master level, and the thing is made of spring tree resin, the material is rare, and the touch is close to real human skin, in such a hot summer, it is still dry and cool when you start.

Ji Lin is not an introvert, he has been exposed to it since he was a child in Wang Shen's house, and he has a good idea of doing business, but after all, it is the first time to set up a stall by himself, and he doesn't know how to deal with such a guest for a while.

"The ...... signed by Zhu Xiaorong himself"

"I'm afraid you made it yourself, right?" said the customer.

This is true, but he flatly denies it.

Wang Shentong came to the stall: "Uncle, let me tell you the truth, these are all collected by my father privately, and it cost a lot of money to buy them back at that time." We caused some trouble outside, it costs money, and the things are taken out secretly without my father's permission, and you say that it will be cheaper, so it's not the same as giving it for nothing?"

"The little kid is quite articulate. The guest picked up the one in the best condition, observed it repeatedly, and even lifted its skirt: "Two hundred, I took it." ”

Wang Shentong smiled with him: "Uncle, my price is five hundred, and you have to take it away for two hundred, isn't it appropriate?"

The guest's hand holding the model became more and more dishonest, and finally he even tore his clothes to shreds. Yilin was about to riot and was stopped by Wang Shentong.

"Uncle, do you mean to buy it?" Wang Shentong still had a smile on his face.

The guest held out a finger: "One hundred." ”

Wang Shentong's face was gloomy: "If you don't buy it, you will leave, and you will pay for the other fifty clothes." ”

The guest seemed to have never heard such a funny joke, and he laughed and rolled back and forth: "I pay?" he pointed to himself, "Okay, I took this thing, don't put it in the stall, clean up, get out." "Hold the model and go.

Rylin stepped forward and pressed his shoulder: "Stuff down." ”

"Lose money!" Wang Shentong added later.

The man turned slowly, sneered, and said, "What if I don't?"

Ji Lin's patience had been worn out by him, he was furious, his eyes were fierce like a lion, and he said in the most unkind tone of his life: "Then we will report to the official!"

The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed even more insolently, "Get out of town, little brat!" he said as he was about to break free from the hand that was on his shoulder.

He struggled with his hands, but he heard a rattle, and the man fell to his knees and began to wail, thinking that his shoulder was dislocated.

There were more and more onlookers, everyone pointed and discussed, and many of them recognized who the person who fell to the ground was, but they all saw that it was not easy to mess with, and they were afraid of being recognized by the person on the ground, so they secretly hid behind the crowd.

People living in this world of the jungle first learned one of the first truths to protect oneself.

The man wailed on the ground for a while, and when he saw more and more people, he got up with difficulty, shouted in a broken voice, "You wait for me," and fled in disgrace.

"Look, I've never seen a troublemaker. Wang Shentong cleaned up the crowd piled up at the scene, and everyone dispersed scolding.

Only one man wearing a hat and wearing a veil was still standing in place.

"What, are you looking for trouble too?" Wang Shentong waved his fist to scare him.

"It's not..."The voice was unexpectedly beautiful, but the man immediately stopped, coughed dryly, and continued in a rougher voice, "Do you sell Zhu Xiaorong's model here?"

As soon as Wang Shentong heard that there was a business, he immediately changed his flattering expression: "Well, and there is Zhu Xiaorong's autograph!" He took the most beautiful one in the stall to the hat, and at the same time kicked the price card over with his foot, and made a movement behind his back to signal Yin Lin to hide the thing.

Dou Li pointed the thing at the light and looked carefully: "Spring resin, very thoughtful...... He looked at Wang Shen's bronze imitation signature on the pedestal, "Your word is wrong......

Wang Shentong panicked suddenly: "What's wrong, can there be anything wrong with Zhu Xiaorong's handwriting?"

The man's hat was raised, thinking that his eyes under the veil should be looking at Wang Shentong. He leaned closer, pointed to his signature, and said, "It's a typo." ”

"I wish Xiaorong!"

"People know, the dawn of dawn, not the size. ”

Ji Lin remembered the genius legend about Wang Shentong who studied knowledge for three months and five years, and Wang Shentong secretly exclaimed in his heart, he really didn't know which three words that aunt was, he only knew the pronunciation, and he didn't write 'Zhu Xiaorong' as his father's pronunciation standard.

Dou Li saw that the two of them were in place, and did not mean to embarrass them: "But you still have a lot of ideas." He took out a small ingot of gold from his pocket, "I don't have a silver ticket with me, but if you exchange this gold, it should be worth 50,000." ”

"The price card is fast. Both thought at the same time. But Dou Li's next sentence made the two of them feel half cold:

"I've already seen your prices just now, the most expensive is five hundred, and you have seven of them here," the face under the veil should be smiling, "I don't want you to ask me for money, I have a painting here, you can make one for me." Dou Li took out a painting from his pocket and handed it to Wang Shentong. The size of the painting is not large, but Wang Shentong knew that it was not an extraordinary product as soon as he took over, the cloth used in this painting Wang Shentong has seen many times, in his father's collection, it is generally a collection-level painting will be used, this cloth is very expensive, but it is expensive and expensive, on the one hand, it is easy to ink, not scattering ink, on the other hand, it is not wrinkled or deformed, and it is easy to preserve. Guests use this fabric, combined with the size of the painting, which should be carried around.

As soon as Wang Shentong spread out the painting, an aunt Zhu who was looking forward to life appeared in front of him vividly.

"Good ......," he couldn't help but sigh.

The hat beckoned the two to pack the model.

"I don't want you to mortgage anything, I trust you. Just draw it, don't lose it for me," after a pause, Dou Lisa continued, "Can you deliver the goods at this time tomorrow?"

"I can hand it over, I can hand it over......"

"Then, tomorrow, at this time, at this place, I will pick up the goods. The hat patted Wang Shentong on the shoulder and walked away with his things.

Wang Shentong clutched the gold tightly, looked at the figure of the hat in the distance, and remembered the unreasonable guest just now, and said: "The gap between this person and people, why is it so big......

Happiness came too suddenly, the two of them had 50,000 at once, although there were some fluke elements, but they suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to live on their own.

The single room of the inn is eighty a day, and the 50,000 yuan can be used for them to live in the store for nearly two years, and the two people who still ate the last meal a few hours ago were originally going to go home to accept the punishment, and all of a sudden the pressure of survival was gone.

Wang Shentong feels that there is a market for resin models, in addition to Zhu Xiaorong who can attract admirers, models like famous generals of Chu State, or demon beasts must also be very attractive to children. Wang Shentong planned to expand production after accumulating capital, and when the marriage turmoil passed, he would go back to his father to cooperate, open channels, and sell them all over the country.

Listening to Wang Shentong's boastful talk while eating, he actually developed a sense of steadfastness in his heart. Ten years ago, Wang Shentong "roared when the road was uneven", and since then he has been taken care of by him, Wang Shen's parents also like him, although he can't remember what happened in the first few years of his life, but in Wang Shen's house, he gradually has the warmth of home. They are now fourteen or fifteen years old, and they can survive by their own efforts, and he slowly understands Wang Shentong's theory, even if he can't go further in martial arts, as a sentient being, he can live a wonderful life.

The two returned to the inn, Wang Shentong proudly renewed the room fee for a month, the boss was very happy, promised that breakfast could be provided for free every day, Wang Shentong was even happier, and rewarded the store with a tip far higher than the breakfast money for a month, the store tasted the sweetness, said that three meals a day can be wrapped for two people, Wang Shentong tasted the sweetness, said thank you, and then turned around and went upstairs.

There was still a lot of resin left in the model yesterday, and with the experience of the last time, this time according to the drawings, it was much faster to do, and the condition of the first finished product was very good. But Wang Shentong still insisted on doing a few more, the hat was so generous, he couldn't lose his backbone.

Before you know it, it's late at night again.

In terms of carving, he couldn't give any help, he could only help to see the fire, and after the embryo was made, he had nothing to do.

There was no bedtime training tonight. During the day, the guests made trouble, and it was the first time he really did it with people, and he suddenly felt that ordinary people were so vulnerable. Before this, he had always had the obsession of pursuing the peak of martial arts, but after today, he dispelled a lot, whether it was the inferiority of the world, or the joy of earning the first money, or the steadfastness of being with his brothers, he began to feel that life itself is a more worthy of going all out. In the past, he devoted himself to cultivation, but now that he thinks about it, if he really doesn't have that talent, it should be good to do business with Wang Shentong.

Thinking about it, he fell asleep.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Xiao Er brought breakfast. Neither of them woke up, but neither of them could fall asleep after breakfast.

Wang Shentong repeatedly inspected the finished product and asked for his opinion. He cares deeply about this transaction, which is another person's affirmation of the value of his work beyond itself, and it deserves more effort from him.

I had lunch again. Wang Shentong couldn't sit still, looking left and right, and finally it was time to meet at the appointed time.

The two rushed to the scene in high spirits, but as soon as they arrived, they were surrounded by several officers and soldiers.

"Good boy, it's finally time for you. ”
