The weather is getting colder and colder, and Yuanli Town is near the sea, is it a gust of wind blowing, with a damp coldness, people can't help but shrink their necks. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This year is a good year, even though the end of autumn is approaching winter, there are not many people begging on the streets.

This is also the warmest winter Xu San's life.

At this time last year, he was still holding a bowl and curled up in the corner begging, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, his heart was unstoppable envy, at that time he had fantasized that as long as he could become a person who did not worry about food and clothing, and could have a place to live without leakage, it was his greatest hope.

He thought that everything was just his imagination, and he didn't want it to be realized now.

But it was because of a sentence and a kind act that his life changed dramatically.

Although the small house he lives in now is rented every month, it is a place to live and call home. Xu San squatted in the corner of the wall, took out an oiled paper bag from the crack inside, he weighed it gently, the corners of his mouth rose, and the crack was wide.

The oiled paper was three or four layers thick, and he was a little careful in his hands, peeling off layer by layer.

There were a few pieces of broken silver inside.

I don't know how many times I went to count, Xu San fiddled with his hand, and once again made sure that what he was holding in his hand was seven taels of silver.

It's only been a few months, and I've gone from begging with a broken bowl with a missing horn penniless to so much silver in a few months.

He followed Uncle Jin to beg for a living on the dock, but it was not very satisfactory at first.

Although they can make a little money from time to time, it is because they almost broke their legs and said that their mouths were dry and they finally won some work.

There are a lot of people on the dock, and the white road **** is all the same, although Uncle Jin has the guarantee of the Kong family, others dare not do too much, but some small frictions are not less at all.

Just because of the seafood business last time, although they made a lot of money, some people were jealous, and even called on the door and cleaned them up, and it was best to pay a few taels of silver to calm down.

After all, the foundation is still too shallow, even if there is a guarantee from the Kong family, but so what, they can't alarm people for these children, besides, Uncle Jin also said that being able to have the guarantee of the Kong family is just a mistake, if you really want to talk about it, it doesn't matter at all.

There is simply no way but on their own.

As soon as Xu San grasped the palm of his hand, he could still feel the broken silver in his palm.

He put the silver in his pocket and walked out of the room.

Because I have to go to the pier every day, the rented house is not far from the pier.

On this day, Xu San did not go in the previous direction, but turned around and went in another direction.

The more you go, the more you go, this is not the mixed slum, there is no dirt everywhere in the slum, although there are many people, but it is not noisy in this place.

This is a really big workshop in Yuanli Town, and many passing shippers need to purchase objects, and Xu San and others first came here.

There are a lot of them here, and the prices are much cheaper than those in the shops, and even many of the shops get their goods here.

Because the price is cheap, in order not to confuse the market, the workshop does not accept fragmentary orders except for large orders.

Xu San went around in a circle and entered one of the cloth mills.

The shopkeeper of the cloth workshop was a thin middle-aged man, who was now holding a long stick and stirring the cloth in the dye vat, and he was busy sweating profusely in such weather.

When the shopkeeper saw someone coming, the movements in his hands did not stop, and he said, "Little brother, you are here, did you bring me a big order?" ”

Xu San has been to this cloth shop several times, and every time he comes, he brings a ship merchant with him, and he really brings a few big orders to the shopkeeper, of course, they also draw a lot of commissions.

He said: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I came this time to buy some for myself." ”

"Oh? Why is the red yarn not enough that time, and I still want to put on some of it. ”

Xu San naturally knew what the red yarn in his mouth was, which was used by Uncle Jin's niece when she got married.

He shook his head and said, "I came this time to want some thick coarse cloth, I remember the shopkeeper said last time, there are a lot of piles in your warehouse, I don't know if you can sell some to me?" ”

The shopkeeper was interested when he heard it, and he beckoned the small worker next to him to take over the work in his hand, not because he was willing to be busy with sweat, but also because he was afraid that the small worker was not skilled and would not dye the color.

He said: "That's my heart disease, you know, my warehouse itself is small, but it was a pile of coarse cloth to stand in place, and it has been put away for so long, I am reluctant to lose it, so I can only keep occupying the space." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and invited Xu San to speak inside, and preached as he walked: "I won't say anything false, if you want it, I will give it to you at 30% of the market price." ”

Xu San shook his head after hearing this, the market price of thirty percent is naturally less, but he has also seen those coarse cloths, because they have been stacked for a long time and have not been kept well, I don't know how the others are, but the bottom layer is indeed rotten, not to mention the spots on it, that is, many places are fragmented.

What's more, he didn't have that much money to buy a warehouse of cloth, even coarse cloth that had been sitting for a long time.

"Shopkeeper, you think too highly of me, I just buy it myself, how can I afford to buy so much cloth." Xu San said truthfully, and he said again: "But I heard your words, Sancheng." ”

The shopkeeper was not angry, he looked up and smiled, and said, "Naturally, a mouthful of spit and a mouthful of nails." Thirty percent, as much as you want, just move. ”

Xu San directly took out the silver and handed it over.

The shopkeeper was not too little, he grabbed him, and ordered someone to take him to the warehouse.

The warehouse that had been closed for a long time was full of dust, and Xu San didn't dislike it, so he buried himself in it and looked for it.

He naturally wouldn't want those with a musty smell at the bottom, and the upper layer was also thick dust, so he couldn't see good or bad at all, so he specifically identified the ones that were placed in the middle, and dug out those that looked relatively complete with his hands.

Although he was rummaging and looking for it, he didn't rummage through the objects inside, and the little worker who led him did as he pleased, and did not open his mouth to stop him from looking for some better materials.

Seven taels of silver doesn't look like much, but the coarse cloth in exchange is full of piles.

When I came, I was thinking about things, looking at such a pile of coarse cloth, I couldn't help but wonder what to do, and all the silver on my body had been given out, even if I wanted to find a picker, there was no way.

The little worker looked at him embarrassed and said, "My boss said that there is a cart in front, you can borrow it first, and then return it tomorrow." ”

Xu San naturally thanked him again and again, and after he loaded the cloth onto the cart, he pushed it away. (To be continued.) )
