The caravan journey was destined to be arduous, and a caravan of more than twenty old men, both horses and camels, walked on the inaccessible road.

If you catch a rabbit and eat a rabbit, you catch a fatty fish and eat a fatty fish, plus the dry food and water you carry on your body, it is also a delicacy. Over the mountains and over the meadows, through the Gobi where birds don't. In the end, the group appeared like dogs in the legendary beautiful and rich Persia.

Erlang also thought that maybe when he arrived in Persia, he could see the bewitching and graceful Persian girl who was full of jewels and jingled when she walked.

Life here is a bit similar to Erlang's hometown, but there are big differences. Persians rarely eat rice, and it should be said that Jiro has never seen such a thing as rice. They also eat wheat and sorghum, and they like to eat cakes, and there are so many types of cakes that Jiro can't imagine.

Persians like to eat fish and like to drink still water. The Persian nobles even went out with them the water of the river they often drank. This kind of living habit is very puzzling to Jiro.

The Persians loved meat, but they usually kept only goats, sheep and cattle. It is rare to see Persians eating poultry, but it is more common to eat rabbits and foxes.

The Persians like to drink goat's milk and also like to eat wild vegetables. There are many foods here that Jiro has never seen before, such as figs and olives. I've seen red dates and coconut Erlang before, but I rarely think about them. Now I know that the water and soil on the road raise people, and the living habits of different races are very different.

Jiro didn't realize how precious the gems were, but let him see the thing he had heard about when he was in the Northwest—wine. This thing Jiro once heard that drinking wine from a luminous glass is a beautiful thing to race the gods.

I have only heard of it in the northwest and have never seen it, and I have never heard of it in my hometown. Fortunately, I have opened a restaurant over the years and met a group of dignitaries, and I know the preciousness of this thing.

I didn't expect that people here regard drinking wine as the most common thing, just like Erlang drinking tea. On the contrary, I heard that the nobles here will spend a small handful of tea at a sky-high price to confess that they have seen the world.

Jiro's brain was completely active, and he felt that the places that were not transparent were now completely transparent.

The so-called buying and selling, isn't it just selling a shortage? No one has it, this is the best business. Erlang didn't have as much spare money as he had at the beginning, because he didn't plan to come to Persia for a walk.

I simply bought five truckloads of wine, which seems to be precious, but in fact, it is just an ordinary thing brewed by a fellow villager.

Erlang used the cheapest silk horse in exchange for three carts, and gave someone a set of tea sets, which didn't cost a few dollars.

Who would have thought that when they were all replaced, they would find that they had made a loss-making deal. This silk and porcelain were also worth a thousand gold in Persia.

Those businessmen who came when they heard the news were sad that they didn't take advantage of it. But fortunately, the guide was clever enough, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was boasting about, in short, he blew Erlang as if he was a rich man in the Celestial Empire.

But thinking about it, using such a valuable and rare thing to exchange for five cars of worthless wine, it can also be seen that within a few days of Erlang's wealth, just like in Siam, many people came to the door to befriend Erlang.

Erlang immediately said that he would return to Persia in a few months. When the time comes, they will bring a large number of fine silk and porcelain. It's also a matter of the guide's personal language ability, and what came out of his mouth was that Erlang was a very powerful silk merchant in the Celestial Empire, and he wanted as many as a rich man.

At this time, Erlang began to slowly become famous in the Persian market. Of course, Erlang himself didn't know anything about it, but he thought he was very lucky. To take advantage is to stand on a road that no one else has seen.

Later generations often say that this may be what the pioneers mean.

Dong Xiaoman returned to Qingzhou City and continued to be her good wife and mother to manage children's education. The door does not go out of the door, and occasionally some noble ladies come to eat at the door. satisfied Dong Xiaoman's heart for business, and also made his social circle bigger.

"Mrs. Zhang, your small kitchen is much better than those big restaurants outside." Mrs. A, a passerby, said with a smile.

"Oh, those restaurants outside. I'm tired of eating it for a long time, and I don't think it's as delicious as the fire girl in our house. Mrs. Yi pursed her lips and opened a table of cards here with Dong Xiaoman to play a game.

Dong Xiaoman has always disliked playing cards, but he also knows the temper of these noble ladies. At that moment, he ordered people to open a table for these people to play in the pavilion in the ventilated and cool back garden.

"I'm also a person who owns a restaurant and a dim sum shop, but it's just in my hometown. Now it's because of the good weather that my husband has transferred his business. Dong Xiaoman doesn't know what will happen to Lu Daoerlang's entrepreneurial road, at least he has to increase his momentum.

"Oh, didn't your husband go to sea? What kind of good business can you do when you go to sea, but it's just pearl fishing or something. It's not a lot of money, it's better to open a casino. "The name of the person who spoke was Mrs. Lu, and she was a famous woman in Qingzhou City. To say that she is a is actually a little louder, and people are also warm-hearted and short-tempered. In addition, her husband is more introverted, she likes to gamble, and her husband doesn't care.

|“ It's gambling money again, I think it's better to let Boss Lu open a casino for you. "This is Mrs. Zeng, who speaks, a widow, but quite a widow. After the death of her late husband, she was able to live alone with her children who were waiting to be fed and led her uncle and sister-in-law to live together. also repeatedly repelled relatives who came to the door to try to take advantage.,She is a strong woman who can be called a strong woman in all aspects.。

"If our family is going to open a casino, don't you have to drown me with spit? I don't mess with those idle people, the so-called nothing is light. If you look at Mrs. Zhang, you will know that she likes to make snacks and do business, and she just receives our sisters at home. Why bother to provoke those rights and wrongs outside, the women in the men's pile are always bad. ”

If Dong Xiaoman heard this for the first few years, he would definitely refute it strongly. Now Dong Xiaoman won't, she knows too well that gossip hurts women.

If a woman really has the ability to make a career, there will always be people who disdain it. Either you think that you have climbed into some big shot, and you will be given this opportunity when you get into someone else's bed. Or you just think why so many people help you, what connections, friendships, and even don't want to spend money to get through the relationship. I will only think that it is a woman who sells purple, and it is not a good way.

This matter was understood as early as the scandal with Chu Li back then.

Fortunately, Dong Xiaoman never kicked out Erlang, if he really got rid of Erlang. Then it's just for the sake of money, whether it's stealing people or having a lover, in short, Erlang can't see the two people separated.

Fortunately, Erlang is a person with backbone and some skills, although his reaction is slower and his progress is slower. At least it's not a wreck, and he won't eat a woman's soft rice.

So after going through all kinds of things, even if Dong Xiaoman agreed to Zhu'er to open a store, he only agreed to let her do his daughter's business. This kind of business will at least sound better and be better done.

And in the private dishes in recent days, Dong Xiaoman also came up with an idea. In later generations, there were women's clubs, beauty salons and other places. Dong Xiaoman has no interest in the beauty industry, and what he knows is only that idea. I wouldn't be stupid to open a women's salon, which is full of gardens and plays, food and clothes, beauty and health.

Although she has opened a similar place in the past, Sister Kun'er's ability is also here. She won't open a cumbersome shop again, and make herself tired like a grandson.

Money, let men earn it. Although it is easy to make money to support your family, it is better to control the man, let the man fight for his dreams, and spend the money that the man earns for himself.

Dong Xiaoman thought about it, and he no longer got entangled in the fact that there was only one private dish. So no matter how much these ladies and ladies persuaded themselves, and even tempted themselves to open a shop together, she refused.

"Mother, I'm leaving tomorrow. Don't worry about me, I'll write home often. Jue'er stood respectfully in front of Dong Xiaoman, her eyes shining with tears, a little reluctant.

"I know that my Jue'er has grown up and is going to do what she loves. Mother understands you, but you have to know that you will have to take care of yourself in the future. If you have any trouble, remember not to panic, but to use your brain to find a way to solve it. When Dong Xiaoman said this, he was a little reluctant in his heart, and he still choked up and wiped his tears.

"Although my mother gave you two little guys, Yiwen and Wuwu will be by your side. And you have sent two reliable men to accompany you there, but you must also know that you cannot rely on them for everything. You want to decide your own business, you know what I mean? ”

Jue'er nodded: "No matter what happens, I won't panic." I'll figure it out first, and it's best to use my brain and not my hands. ”

Dong Xiaoman smiled reluctantly: "This is what your husband told you, right?" There are a lot of words on the Internet that it is better to use your brain than to use your hands, but are you really a military advisor? ”

Jue'er nodded seriously: "I just want to be the best military advisor, and I will also be the prime minister of a country in the future." ”

Dong Xiaoman sneered: "I know what I said, Prime Minister." Although I am not uncommon with the Lady of the Commandment, I am happy to see my children's dreams come true. You remember, those who are better than you must have worked more than you. When you're walking, people may be running. But if you're tired and want to stop. Those who are behind you will take advantage of your laziness to come ahead of you. ”

"Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. I know that! Jue'er clenched her small fists, her bright eyes glowing, just like Dong Xiaoman's hard work before the college entrance examination many years ago.
