Chapter 36: Please Tea

On this day, the sky finally cleared.

Liu Yong opened his eyes, and a warm and clear white light came through the window. A few days of gloom and depression were swept away in an instant. He sat up abruptly and woke Yingying up. Then he sat up, his chubby little hands rubbing his sleepy eyes. Yingying is indeed fat these days.

This is a consolation for Liu Yong.

For such a young child, it is really not easy to leave his parents. Fortunately, he has a capable uncle who can survive well without finding his aunt.

It's still the old saying, a child who eats well, dresses well, and has fun is the happiest. Especially a little girl. It is said that the poor raise their children, and the rich raise their daughters. Liu Yong may not have any experience in this area, but he clearly knows one thing, that is, the women around him cannot be wronged, including children, of course.

Try to think about it, the beautiful Yingying suddenly fell from a house of Zhongding with fine clothes and food to begging on the street. What a horrific scene it would be—

In the bleak wind and cold rain of early spring, on the street where pedestrians fell, a little girl with dirty hair and ragged clothes stood on the side of the road, begging for scattered pedestrians with a dirty little hand. Pedestrians didn't even look at her to hide from the rain, and some were full of disgust and avoided as if they were pooping.

What's even more terrifying is that in a corner somewhere, there may be a 'wolf' staring at her, waiting for an opportunity to strike. From then on, perhaps this little girl will fall from the dark begging without food into another more terrible and dark world. That world was full of violence and gloom.

Fortunately, that little girl is not Yingying, because she is bathed in the sunshine and growing up happily under the protection and care of her uncle.

Of course, Liu Yong didn't think of this, because he didn't believe that he and Yingying would end up like that, which was unimaginable. In his eyes, these problems boil down to only one word: money.

Yingying was happy to see the sunlight in the transparent pane, and because of the rain, she hadn't played in the yard for several days. She climbed out of bed and twisted her little ass to open the window. Poof, a pillar of light poured into the room despite the pane that Yingying opened. In the thick but soft pillar of light, the fine dust was singing and dancing freely.

I only heard a scream from Ying Yingwa.

Liu Yong hurriedly went over to look, only to see that the cherry tree in the yard had bloomed a tree. Reflecting the clear blue sky, the bright pink is stunning.

The plan of the year lies in spring, and Liu Yong knows that his spring is also coming.

Yingying jumped happily. Liu Yongzhen envies such a child, carefree and innocent.

Liu Yong's feet were good, he jumped a few times and tried it, and it was as good as ever. He decided that he would not leave the stall today and go out on the street again. Five white and more than two taels of silver! This time, a month is almost gone, and time waits for no one!

But exercise is still necessary. Before breakfast, Liu Yong led Yingying to run around on Luzhu Street. Yingying happily put a beautiful little face in the hot sun and squinted. She misses Grandpa Sun so much.

The two children were able to sleep, but Liu Yong and Yingying came back from the exercise and got up lazily. Although the bright sun swept away the haze, it didn't seem to sweep away the sorrow in their hearts. What can a child worry about? It turned out that the girl's mother did not return overnight.

Liu Yong called the two children to eat together. In the past few days, her mother seems to have not paid for food.

After eating, Liu Yong let the three children play together and asked the landlord and mother-in-law to take care of them. Liu Yong gave his mother-in-law dozens of dollars. The young man watching pouted on the sidelines.

This is not the first time that Liu Yong has given money to the landlord and mother-in-law alone. Because Liu Yong knows that it is not easy to take care of a child, you have to want others to do their best, how can you do it without giving some benefits.

The young man still couldn't forget the tip, and often came to ask Liu Yong if there was anything he could help with. But every time I walked away disappointed. Liu Yong just smiled.

The arrangements were made, and he was about to go out, when Lin Hualang came. Then Niu Rong also came. In fact, Liu Yong didn't let him come, maybe he saw a sunny day.

The three of them chatted casually for a while in the small flower hall on the first floor. Of course, Liu Yong and Lin Hualang said, Niu Rong listened to it, and when it came to funny things, he also laughed and laughed, and he laughed very shyly.

Liu Yong said to go out for a walk, of course Lin Hualang agreed, Niu Rong followed behind not like a slave but like a bodyguard. Before leaving, Yingying said goodbye to Lin Hualang.

"Brother Hualang, there will be a period later." The voice is delicate, but it is a serious look, which makes these adults laugh. Lin Hualang touched Yingying's head: "Yingying girl, there will be a period later." Yingying licked her red lips and looked at him and smiled.

"Hey, it's been a few days, and there's a person on the street." Lin Hualang hugged his arms and walked sideways like a crab.

"No one wants to go out shopping on a cloudy and rainy day." Liu Yong explained casually, looking east and west. Some women recognized Liu Yong and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Hey, isn't that Liu Yong who sells fat powder?"

"yes, why didn't he come out of the stall? My rouge is gone. ”

"It's not that the rouge is gone, it's that you miss someone, right?"

"Hate ......"

"Hehe......"

Liu Yong didn't pay attention to it, and swaggered away, his eyes staring specifically at the vendors and stores. There's really nothing new anymore, they're so stable. The vendors are still the same old faces. None of the shops were transferred. In fact, Liu Yong really wanted to do it with a store, but considering the early investment and the speed of the return of funds, he gave up. What he wants to do now is to buy and sell on a large scale, so that he can earn enough money for 500 yuan in a short period of time.

He went out on the streets to see business opportunities in this area. But, it's really not easy to find. The logistics of the Southern Song Dynasty was already developed, but it was still far from modern times, after all, roads and means of transportation were incomparable. However, in Liu Yong's view, the merchants here can already transport the specialties of a certain place to all parts of the Great Song Dynasty.

In this way, it seems that the business opportunity is sparse, and there seems to be nothing to do. In fact, the biggest headache for Liu Yong, which is also a common problem for most entrepreneurs, is the lack of funds. Now, even if there is a big deal handed over to Liu Yong to do, he doesn't have so much money.

The three of them scurried around the east and west streets, and almost walked half the city. Lin Hualang saw that the sun was almost three poles, and said, "Brother, go, I'll invite you to tea." ”

Liu Yong naturally agreed, he also wanted to find a place to rest, and the tea shop was the best place. Because there are a lot of people in it, you may be able to hear about business opportunities.

Is it easy to be a businessman? To have a pair of eagle eyes, a dog's nose, and the speed of a leopard, you have to shoot fast. Do you still have the power of a bear? Of course, there must be this.

Which tea shop to go to, naturally Lin Hualang said it, because he is the east. Liu Yong and Niu Rong just followed. The three of them turned back to Plum Blossom Street and walked to the T-junction. Liu Yong suddenly remembered the stunning pale green in the afterglow. I couldn't help but stand at the corner of the street.

Lin Hualang walked over, Liu Yong was still standing, and Niu Rong was standing when he was standing. Just as a carriage turned, it was stopped by Liu Yong and Niu Rong. The coachman shouted, Liu Yongcai woke up, smiled wryly, and took Niu Rong to dodge the road. But he still suffered from the white eyes of the coachman.

"How dangerous it is to stop in the middle of the intersection!" Lin Hualang said with a smile and schadenfreude.

Liu Yong thought to himself, "What kind of intersection is this, if I take you to modern times and see the intersections in the city there, I will definitely scare you to death." ”

Lin Hualang's place of hospitality was the humble tea shop across the street.

Entering the store, Lin Hualang picked up a small table and sat down. At this time, there were seven or eight people in the tea shop, drinking tea and chatting together.

Lin Hualang shouted directly: "Old lady, quickly serve good tea." ”

A middle-aged woman came out of the room, dressed in a maroon coarse linen shirt, and went straight to Liu Yong's table. When they got closer, they saw that the woman was fair-skinned and handsome, and I thought that she must have been a beauty when she was young. It's just that there is a hint of melancholy between the eyebrows.

She walked directly to Lin Hualang's side, without saying a word, stretched out her hand and touched Lin Hualang's head, but the hit was very light, and it seemed to be only symbolic.

Lin Hualang reacted strongly, and jumped up from the bamboo bench with a sigh.

"Old lady, why are you beating people?" Lin Hualang rubbed the beaten place while complaining.

Liu Yong was surprised, but he could also see that Lin Hualang and this woman should be very familiar.

"In this way, if you talk to your mother, you should be beaten." And the woman was angry.

Your mother? Liu Yong suddenly realized that this woman was Lin Hualang's mother. No wonder one dares to say it, and the other dares to fight. However, for the ancient times when feudal etiquette was strict, it was really uncommon for mother and son to laugh and play like this. But it can also be seen from the side that the people of the Song Dynasty were still very open-minded. In Liu Yong's impression, if nothing else, it is not uncommon to say that women remarry.

At this moment, Liu Yong is really glad that he can come to such a world.

"Oh, old lady, these two are both friends of your son, can't you give some face?" Lin Hualang sprinkled in front of his mother.

When Liu Yong heard this, he quickly got up and saluted.

Lin Hualang's wife looked Liu Yong up and down with a smile on her face. But he said: "Isn't this a little brother who sells rouge gouache on the street?" ”

Liu Yong nodded.

"Oh, please sit down, old lady will go and make you tea." After saying that, he walked away in a hurry.

Liu Yong complained that Lin Hualang didn't introduce him early, which made him rude. Lin Hualang grinned and did not answer. At this time, a middle-aged man with a thin figure walked into the tea shop, dressed in a gray linen robe, and his thin cheeks were covered with a beard. This man has an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are large. And his face was bitter and hateful, and his expression was a little haggard.

Lin Hualang saw this person walking into the tea shop, and quickly turned his back to the person.

At this time, Lin Hualang's mother came out of the room with a tea tray and met the middle-aged man. Lin Hualang's mother glanced at Liu Yong in a panic. Her small gesture was noticed by the middle-aged man, and his eyes followed. Directly fixed on Lin Hualang's body.
