Chapter 172
Zhang Ahua went back to discuss with the two men in their family how to make a fortune, Mrs. Zhang led the long house and did not forget to go out to show off her wealth, and Hong Nan was thinking about how to persuade Zhu'er to wear an extra hairpin or a golden hairpin when she came next time.
Sending off all the people with ghosts in their hearts, Dong Xiaoman returned to the room a little tired and took a nap. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he was woken up by Jiro's shaking.
"What's wrong?" Squinting his eyes, Dong Xiaoman was too lazy to get up, and Erlang had to say softly when he saw this: "You still don't sleep, if you fall asleep so early, be careful that you don't sleep at night." ”
Dong Xiaoman turned over lazily and said in a bit of confusion: "Eldest sister's business, what are you going to do!" ”
Erlang sneered: "What can she do?" Big money can't be earned, and small money is too little. Give her a job, can you? ”
Dong Xiaoman got up slowly, stretched out his waist, stretched out his legs, and drooped to resist. Yawned and said, "It's the New Year, what are your plans?" ”
Erlang said: "Earn money and support your family." ”
Dong Xiaoman nodded and said, "Oh, this is not like you, now you don't have enough money?" ”
Erlang took Dong Xiaoman's hand and said, "You should really go to the capital to have a look, it's different from ours." Everywhere there is gold, it depends on whether you can pick it up or not. ”
Dong Xiaoman smiled secretly: Are you really the one who has never seen the market? I haven't seen anything in my previous life, and I still see the capital in your eyes.
But when Dong Xiaoman said this, he also understood, and Erlang's mind was lively. After fifteen, Xiaohu is about to start tossing again, and Erlang wants to go with him.
After the fifteenth day of the first month, Xiaohu left, but Erlang didn't go. This surprised Dong Xiaoman. It turned out that Erlang was going to send San Lang and Mr. Chu Li to the capital.
At the beginning of March, the three of them went to the capital together. The whole family immediately seemed to be missing a dozen people, and it was boring to eat every day.
At the beginning of spring, Dong Xiaogang was busy with the cultivation of more than 100 acres of land, and Dong Xiaoman had to go to Jishitang to take care of the business in person. And now the first garden has hired a gentleman. Teach on your behalf. After Mrs. Zhang learned about it, she made a fuss and let Zhang Ahua and her family come to the city.
The two of them are now helping in Jishitang, and Dong Xiaoman is not paying more. It's the same as usual. Fortunately, neither of them is a very knowledgeable person, and Zhang Ahua is still very serious in the spirit of learning the craft.
It's just that he claims to be the master, and he always likes to shout five and drink six in the restaurant. Fortunately, Dong Xiaoman has said hello to the guys, and everyone can understand it.
It's just about twenty days of work, and Erlang is back. Dong Xiaoman looked at Erlang in surprise, after all, there were many fewer people in the family, and he was a little too busy.
"There's a lot going on at home. How could I have left you alone at home. I sent the two of them to the capital, I gave them all some money, and I left the silver and I came back. Erlang, who had a dusty face, rolled up his arms and sleeves and said while washing his face.
"That's right, the eldest sister and brother-in-law are in the restaurant now. When you go to the restaurant, don't forget to teach them something. Dong Xiaoman picked up a piece of cotton cloth. While wiping Jiro's hair, he reminded him.
"What can the two of them do? Can you open a medicinal restaurant or a stir-fry shop? should go home and farm honestly, saying that they still have a hundred skills. Erlang reached out and took the cotton cloth, and wiped it indiscriminately, and he had to look at Dong Xiaoman to speak for a while.
Dong Xiaoman looked at Erlang so fixedly, and Erlang grinned: "Not everyone can talk to us, the eldest sister is a person who can pull his wife's tongue." I used to be comfortable, but now I'm poorer than him, and I'm uncomfortable. ”
After speaking, he poured half a pot of boiling water into the basin, and the water soaked the shoes and socks in it. The water was too hot, and he grinned, "Oops." Oops. Whew, it's so comfortable, I'm telling you that no place is as good as at home. ”
Dong Xiaoman frowned and said, "If you want to wash your feet, just tell me, you see that you have made a lot of water." ”
Erlang was a little aggrieved and said: "Why are you like this, you used to have to send me a meal no matter how far away." It's a big thing to eat and drink, and I can't understand what I'm going to do now. ”
"I said daughter-in-law. Are you all focused on the two dolls? As he spoke, he grinned and said, "Can't you give me evenly?" ”
Hearing this, Dong Xiaoman blushed and pretended to be unhappy and said, "What do you want to do with the old husband and wife?" ”
Erlang licked his face and smiled: "Where are we old, how old are you." ”
Dong Xiaoman wanted to say: It's a matter of two ends in three days in your family, am I in the mood to talk to you here? But after thinking about it, I decided not to spoil the scenery.
Since Erlang came back, Dong Xiaoman hasn't been to Jishitang much. Anyway, in a few months, they can't help but open, and they can't care so much.
Dong Xiaoman had nothing to do one day and followed Dong Xiaogang to Lincheng to change his name: Fengjiabao for a while. As rumored to have it, this place is a treasure trove of great people. This is a real transportation hub, and there is an endless stream of people going south and north. The most important thing is that this place has access to waterways, and it has the feeling of Tianjin Wei in the previous life.
Dong Xiaoman went back to talk to Erlang, and the two of them tacitly laughed at each other for a long time. Two days later, on the grounds that they had something to do, the two of them got into a carriage and went to Fengjiabao to live for a few days.
The two lived in the largest inn in the area, and walked the street every morning and evening. Dong Xiaoman even took pen and ink with him, and recorded anything important at any time.
The two of them tasted food everywhere, and they tasted one or two bites of each of them when they couldn't finish eating too much. I also inquired about several large restaurants in the downtown area, and the rent was so high that these two usually generous people couldn't help but smack their tongues.
"Hey, hey, you can buy it for 1,200 taels. It's really expensive, you said that this money can buy at least two in Rongcheng. "Six hundred taels can buy a pretty good restaurant in Rongcheng, of course, they won't sell this restaurant.
Real estate has been a pillar industry since ancient times, Dong Xiaoman rolled his eyes and remembered those more expensive mansions in later generations.
Otherwise, I think we might as well buy a piece of land, and we will build it ourselves after we finish buying. After building it, divide it one by one, and how much rent is clearly marked, let's rent it as a charter wife.
Erlang turned his head and was a little stunned: "Is this okay, what if I can't rent it?" Who do you say that you can recruit people in these places! ”
Dong Xiaoman said: "This is not simple, the road is not passable, let's build the road." It's so close to the sea, so why don't you get a seafood market and gather all the seafood sellers. On the other end, there is a fabric market, a farmer's market, and a snack street. Gather everything together, and everyone will come here as soon as they think of what to buy! ”
Erlang thought about it, patted his brain, and smiled: "This idea is good, there are many people here." If you want to buy something in the future, just say this market! ”
After speaking, he patted Dong Xiaoman's head: "You said how your head grows, it's all good ideas." I've caught a baby in my life! ”
Dong Xiaoman said proudly: "Content, right? ”
Erlang and Youyan said loudly: "Contentment, what contentment!" ”
Dong Xiaoman said again: "You want to buy land, and it is not good to buy a large piece of land. There are too many people here who are richer than us, and you have to figure it out. It's not like you can do it if you want to, what if that uncooperative snake gives you a-stirring stick? As the so-called strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, it's not easy for us to get it if we are not locals. ”
Erlang gritted his teeth and said: "Whoever dares to cause trouble for me, I will stab him!" ”
Dong Xiaoman hurriedly stopped and comforted: "This is not a good way, you have spent a few years in the barracks." I've been in business for another two years, and I know better than I do. I've also learned it in the past two years, and you must know better than I do. It's superfluous for me to say this, I don't have to make you angry! ”
Erlang hugged Dong Xiaoman and sighed: "What am I angry about, I also know that it is difficult here." But you see, we already have a way to get rich in our hearts. Just looking at it like this, I can't make it hard, and I'm so panicked! ”
Dong Xiaoman turned over his hand and put his hands around Erlang's neck: "Then you, the little God of Wealth, have to show you the way!" ”
It's rare to see his daughter-in-law so active, and Erlang doesn't know where to put his hand when his blood is surging.
"As for you, go find the commander in the barracks you can know first. Then he found the current county magistrate, and after buying the land, he came forward to contact some local squires and rich people. It's best to be able to finance, that is, let everyone pay for it together. In that case, no one wants to watch that market be smashed, right? Dong Xiaoman's hands wandered between Erlang's eyebrows, and Erlang had been breathing heavily by this flirtation that was not a flirtation.
The next day, Dong Xiaoman and his wife returned to Rongcheng, and Dong Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them: "You are back, you are going to be annoyed to death by the two demons of your family in the past few days!" ”
Sister Kun stood at the door and said with a smile: "What's so annoying about this, it's just to ask you a few words." ”
Dong Xiaoman ignored his brother's complaints, walked up to Sister Kun and reached out and touched her stomach: "Are you tired these days?" Can the body still eat? ”
Sister Kun is pregnant, and she used facts to kill the cranky thoughts of Li and others. Erlang took out the things he had bought in advance and handed them to Xiao Gang: "Don't say it, the things in this Fengjiabao are cheaper than ours." Not to mention that everything is complete, there are many adults in the city. ”
Not long after I got home, I heard a loud knock at the door. After the doorman opened the door, he saw Zhang Ahua striding in like the wind. As he walked, he said loudly: "You two are finally back, hey, what are you doing here?" The business of the restaurant is so good these days that it will exhaust the two of us! ”
Sister Kun hurriedly leaned over and whispered in Dong Xiaoman's ear: "In the past few days, she has been asking where you have been every day, as if your eldest brother has also come here." I thought you were thinking about some kind of deal again, this is to get a piece of the pie! (To be continued.)
