Chapter 2: The Legendary Liu Dutou
The man with a big waist next to him said: "The shopkeeper, he is a thatched hut, non-brick structure, and it is worth up to fifteen yuan according to the market price, how can he give him so much?" ”
Old Chen Tou was still expressionless, "There must be great difficulties for a person like him to mortgage the ancestral house." Second, he is down-to-earth, filial and honest, and he will redeem the ancestral house at twice the price in the future. Three, I know that he is being targeted, and he will definitely not take the money with him, and giving more is equivalent to overcharging him for the storage fee. Fourth, the house continues to be lived in for him, and the rent is converted according to the mortgage price, and the rent can be overcharged. Fifth, there is a certain risk in doing so, but if he survives a serious illness, it proves that he is a lucky person. To sum up, the old man thinks it is worth helping him at this time, this is a mutually beneficial and high-quality investment. ”
……
Zhao Cheng first bought a pair of sturdy shoes, which can protect his feet well and no longer suffer losses in equipment.
When trying on shoes, two young women were chatting about what was passing by, and when they saw Zhao Cheng's dirty appearance, they frowned a little and avoided leaving.
"I heard that the slut in Wangjiafang Alley was slept with by Yang Daguan."
"That old fool is disgusting, with bulging eyes like goldfish, short and big belly, and he touched my ass last time."
"Liu Jiaerlang also touched your buttocks, why don't you scold him and wink at him?"
"The curtain accidentally fell on the street and was stepped on by him, what else can he do except blink violently, can he say, 'Roll Nima and go to the Qinglou to find the old bustard Niangsao', he is an official errand."
Zhao Cheng listened to their more violent discussions, and watched them gradually move away.
Well, I went to find a foot shop, and first asked the little guy to open half a catty of meat, but there wasn't much in fact. I asked for another flatbread, lowered my head and began to munch with relish.
I've never felt that anything was so delicious in my life, and the food was very refreshing. But halfway through, I saw the two thugs shaking outside the store for a while, and I vaguely heard them talking:
"That waste looks like there's still money on it."
"It should be, otherwise he has always been stingy and won't eat wine and meat in it......"
I'm afraid of being remembered by thieves!
Zhao Cheng thought about it, and it was imperative to find a way to solve this matter. Fortunately, listening to these two ploppy tones, it should be in the slightly timid rookie stage.
When I went out, I met Liu Dutou in the market again, and now this guy looks a little drunk, walking a little crookedly, and wearing a hat is a little funny. It is estimated that the legendary Liu Jiaerlang who stepped on the curtain of a beautiful woman and asked for a wink is this goods.
It's good if it's true, the ancient otaku should only hide when he encounters this kind of person, but Zhao Cheng greeted him on the contrary, "Liu Dutou is good." ”
This time, Liu Dutou didn't twitch the back of his head, nodded slightly and ignored Zhao Cheng, looked at an old man selling pears along the street and asked, "How do you sell pineapples?" ”
"One, one penny."
The old man was a little worried, and took the initiative to pick a big one and handed it over, "If the poor master wants to taste it, he won't charge money, and it will be regarded as the filial piety of the little old man." ”
Liu Dutou took a bite, but he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
Take this scene as an example, Zhao Cheng is a little interested in him.
People who are too bad and too rogue cannot make friends, but it is of little use to make friends with better and more upright people, and they will be like those bureaucrats who will not do well in the future, unable to manage or be busy with other people's affairs. This guy is not very ruly, more direct, a little gangsteric but a little measured, such a person he has the means and time, as long as he wants to, he can solve other people's problems.
"Liu Dutou stayed."
Zhao Cheng stuffed fifteen copper coins in his hand in the past.
Liu Dutou checked the fifteen dollars in his hand, although it was little, he was also happy, and smiled at the poor people around him: "This kid has some understanding." ”
After hesitating for a while, Liu Dutou said again: "I heard that you are recovering from a serious illness, and it is a special situation, so it is good to rest for a day and fill in the soil the day after tomorrow." ”
Zhao Cheng thought for a while but said: "Repairing the river and preventing floods is the top priority for people's livelihood, how can Liu Tou be embarrassed when there is a shortage of manpower, and he will arrive on time tomorrow." ”
Liu Du's head fluttered for a while, pointed to his nose and laughed: "In addition to being conscious, he can also be a man, believe it or not, this kid has a future." ”
The poor person next to him felt that Zhao Cheng, this kid, was obviously sick in the brain.
"Go ahead." Liu Dutou patted Zhao Cheng's shoulder, and then turned around and left.
The two splashes in the distance across the street looked at each other, even if it was dark this time, they knew that Zhao Cheng seemed to be carrying money, but when Zhao Cheng passed by, they couldn't do anything in the end.
After Zhao Cheng left, a splash muttered: "Why does this waste suddenly seem to have changed as a person, just now I saw that he and Liu Dutou are quite familiar?" ”
……
It can be regarded as adaptable, Zhao Cheng took the first step, it was useless, but he saw the hope of persevering.
It is good to have hope, and the more difficult it is, the more people rely on hope for support.
When I got home, I rummaged through the cabinets and found a rusty shovel and put it next to my pillow for self-defense at night. In fact, I also know that it is useless, this body is very thin, but I have been prepared to be slaughtered by others.
Hey, I found another potato under the bed.
I didn't pay attention to the five I ate before, but now I look closely, this potato is different in color and weight compared to the potatoes in later generations, and it is more pressing.
Zhao Cheng didn't know if the "mutated" potatoes could be cultivated by seeds, and even if he could, Zhao Cheng was a businessman, not an agricultural doer, and he didn't know the process, and he didn't understand the entire agricultural model environment of the Song Dynasty for the time being. The team, technology, marketing, channels, promotion, the acceptance of new things by the ancients, etc., are really a bunch of problems involved.
In fact, the ancients never lacked secret recipes, almost every household had them, but there were too few who relied on this rise, and there was basically one pattern: everything was inferior, only reading was high. This was especially true in the Northern Song Dynasty.
It's like mortgaging the hut, and a hint of a ruined thought flashed in my head: just eat it.
I'm not hungry now, but I don't know why, Zhao Cheng just wants to eat this potato.
So he roasted it again and ate it.
It was very delicious, and the refreshing feeling was like an air current, rushing down to the back of his head, making Zhao Cheng's spirit a little trance and drifting.
Then there is an illusion, like the display flashes twice and the power is not enough to turn off?
Looking left and right, Zhao Cheng had a strong premonition that something was going to happen, but it was just a little bit, it hadn't happened yet.
Don't......
Searched in the room again.
I don't know what I'm looking for, but I won't be tired if I try it anyway.
There must be something going on.,After all, crossing this kind of thing that only appears in novels has been encountered.。
In this way, I searched every inch of the house with curiosity, but this time I didn't find anything......
I got up early the next day and rushed to the river before dawn.
Service is mandatory. In fact, after figuring this out, it is not easy to feel sorry for yourself, it is useless, in addition to bringing negative emotions to the people around you, you may not be able to really be lazy, but you will definitely be able to provoke Liu Dutou and the overseer by the way.
So Zhao Cheng felt that obscene and lurking, doing things in a down-to-earth manner, and acting after a certain decision was the king.
The good thing is that the rule and human rights situation of the Northern Song Dynasty was relatively good in ancient times, and they were rarely whipped.
However, in general, the whole construction site is lazy and inefficient. Liu Dutou could only sit under the pergola and scold, and when he encountered a complaining laborer, he would slap the back of the head twice, but it could only be like this, he had no other way to improve efficiency.
At noon, Liu Dutou found that Zhao Cheng was the least lazy and the least talkative on the entire construction site.
"Call that kid here."
Liu Dutou asked Zhao Cheng to come, and said, "Give him a bowl of water to drink." ”
After that, Liu Dutou got up, looked at the construction site from a distance and frowned, "The rainy season is coming, but the progress is a lot worse. ”
Zhao Cheng bowed his head and considered.
The poor people around are not eye-catching, but since they asked, I really hope that someone can say one, two, three, otherwise, if the progress is delayed, the county lord will really draw people.
didn't get an answer in time, Liu Dutou was a little disappointed, "Do you have any ideas?" ”
Zhao Cheng said: "This is not very difficult, now it is probably a situation where the three monks have no water to eat." Just follow the average amount of yesterday and the day before yesterday, set a rule after a little addition, and go home first. For the time being, this is the easiest way to do it. ”
Liu Dutou hesitated for a moment, "It sounds interesting, the county is more indulgent to these people for the sake of public opinion, and it is inconvenient for Bendutou to be too rude." But dragging it out like this is not good for the dynasty, the county, the city, or them. Then ...... You are responsible for a section to try, and see the effect first. ”
This is not lucky, with Zhao Cheng's work attitude and efficiency, it is not surprising that Lao Liu thought of Zhao Cheng when he was blind.
Liu Dutou asked again: "Is it big?" ”
Zhao Cheng also said badly, "The grasp is too big but not absolute, but it won't get worse if you try it." In other cases, adjustments can be made in time. ”
Liu Dutou nodded slightly, but still frowned and looked at the construction site......
