Chapter Seventy-Five: Where Is the Way Out?

The next day, before dawn, Shen Mingjun left.

Shen Xi knew that Cheap Daddy was going to Wang's house to collect leftovers, leftovers and water, and if there was still time to spare, he would go to the market to find out if there were any rotten vegetable leaves, so he had to hurry up every minute and every second.

From the moment he got up, Zhou was in good spirits.

Women with husbands by their side are different, Hui Niang has developed a calm and light character, she does things on weekdays, basically not happy or angry, while Zhou is moody, want to make Zhou feel good, the easiest way is to let Shen Mingjun go home every day.

"Brother Shen Xi, look at these two words, I won't."

Early in the morning, Shen Xi was sitting alone in the back hall yawning in a daze, Lu Xi'er took his hand and asked him with his engraved "Kindergarten Qionglin".

Shen Xi didn't sleep well last night because he was thinking about a way out for his father, and he was a little listless at this time, and seeing that there was no business in the pharmacy, he said: "Xi'er, my brother is sleepy and panicked, I want to sleep, you go and ask Sister Xiaoyu if it's okay?" ”

"Not good."

Lu Xi'er pursed her small mouth, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was extremely cute.

Shen Xi had no choice but to be patient and teach her the words Lu Xi'er didn't understand. After waiting for something, he was about to close his eyes and take a nap, when Zhou entered the back hall and threw the dustpan on the table: "Sort the medicine, hurry up!" ”

Shen Xi complained bitterly, it was really better to go to the school to study one after another.

There is no way, there are too many things to think about, and the human spirit is not enough...... He tried his best to think about what kind of deal he could do for his father to gain a foothold quickly, because his father couldn't do anything but have the strength to do anything.

In these years, even if he goes to a shop as an apprentice, he must be young and flexible, and there is no salary during the study period, so it is not suitable for Shen Mingjun to drag his family with him.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Doesn't it look pretty good in the morning? Shen Xi looked at the Zhou family with a sullen face while sorting the medicinal herbs.

"The one who has no conscience, yesterday said that he would come back to accompany our mother and son more in the future, but he found someone to say that he would not come back at night. Hum...... Looks like he really has a vixen out there! ”

The more Zhou thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, the more angry he became, and the more angry he was, the easier it was to think crankily, and the result was a bad temper.

Shen Xi knew that as long as Shen Mingjun didn't return to normal for a day, the Zhou family would always be so suspicious.

Just after the time passed, Zhou's business was still deserted, Xiu'er suddenly ran over from the new shop, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, grandma asked me to come over and ask, if this side is not busy, let Ning'er go over to help...... There are a lot of guests there today, and some of them are too busy. ”

Zhou nodded and said, "Then hurry up and call Ning'er in the backyard...... Oh yes, Xiaoyu, you can go together, anyway, there is a baby here, and someone has a recipe for him to read. ”

Shen Xi shouted bitterly: "Mother, I've only been studying for a few days, and I don't know much." ”

"Stinky boy, when Xiaoyu was not there before, didn't you know Fangzi? What nonsense, Xiaoyu and Ning'er go over quickly, don't let your grandma wait for a long time. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, if the new shop is really busy, it is better to let Shen Mingjun go over to help, it is better to hire a shopkeeper to be in charge of that side, so that Hui Niang and Zhou can stay in the small pharmacy to support, the family does not have to be very tired, the relationship between the father and the mother is harmonious, and the two families are harmonious, how good it would be!

But people's words are terrifying, even if Shen Mingjun goes home a few more times, it is easy to be poked in the backbone and say that he wants to accept Huiniang as a concubine and a toad and wants to eat swan meat, if he goes to the shop to help, this kind of thing may be so ugly. At that time, gossip will prevail, and it may affect the business of the pharmacy, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In the era, the reputation of widows is more important than anything else, and Shen Xi finally understood this.

……

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of February, and Shen Xi was going to resume school the next day, and Shen Mingjun finally came back in the evening.

Shen Xi promised Shen Mingjun not to tell the Zhou family about his side business outside, on the premise that Shen Mingjun had to come back every three days, but even if he came back, it was a little late...... After all, Shen Mingjun had to go to the farm first to feed the poultry and settle down before he could come back.

What Shen Xi thought was that before finding a way out for his father, he would help him first if he could, and then go to the school to study, and he would go over to help after school, so that his father would not have to run on three sides to cope with it.

It was already very late at night, and there was still an oil lamp on the side of the main house, which was an extremely strange thing for Zhou, who had always saved.

Shen Xi was very afraid that the Zhou family would quarrel with Shen Mingjun, but he leaned over the wall and eavesdropped on the wall when he went out to the thatched house, and there was not much movement inside.

“…… Da Lang and Rokuro can't come to the county seat for the time being, and they won't come over until the thieves have completely subsided, and I don't know how long it will be delayed. ”

When Zhou said this, she just pushed open the door, and when she saw Shen Xi standing in the corner, she immediately straightened her face, "Why don't you sleep so late?" ”

Shen Mingjun also appeared at the door, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two was quite harmonious, and there was no red-faced and noisy situation as imagined.

There are thieves outside the city, both floods and droughts are extremely dangerous, the official road and river from Shuangxi Town to the county seat are basically no one dares to go, and the new Ninghua Zhi County is not in place, and the people are panicked, at this time, the family naturally does not dare to send the two small ones to the county seat, so as not to be robbed by the thieves halfway There are three long and two short, even if the person is fine, and the case is left from the thief, then the Shen family is finished.

Shen Xi returned to the house, thinking about the thief and his father's way out.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, because of the chaos and thieves in northeast Guangdong and western Fujian, many traveling merchants did not dare to go to Tingzhou Mansion, which caused the price of goods transported from other places to soar, and the price of locally produced grain and native products fell extremely sharply.

Now there is basically no formal transportation in the city, because the goods in this year have to rely on the trader to be responsible for transportation, and there is no dart saying, and the dart bureau will not appear until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

This is a good opportunity, if Daddy can take the opportunity to get into this business, it will definitely be profitable, and he can even set a precedent to make the business bigger and stronger, after all, this business does not require any skills, the most important thing is manpower, and some horse-drawn carriages and boats can be hired.

Even if you want to bet, you don't need Shen Mingjun to go out in person, you just need to stay in Ninghua County as a shopkeeper and mobilize your subordinates on weekdays.

However, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, the plan is good, but there are many problems. There is no capital, no manpower, no business space and no means of transportation, that is, horse-drawn carriages. Of course, the carriage can be solved by hiring, and manpower can also be hired, in fact, the main thing is the lack of money.

If you want to drive a carriage or a boat shop, it may be easy to unload goods at a post station or wharf, but if you want to open a dart game, you still have to invite some people with a little skill, and it is best to simply train the military, otherwise it will be a big loss if the escort goods are robbed in the middle of the road. And to do escort business, you also have to have a relationship with the people of the three mountains and five mountains, otherwise who will give face?

Shen Xi thought about it carefully and felt that the dart game was not very reliable, but this also gave him an idea, that is, to do something that others dare not think about and can't do, and to have a leading mind and business strategy.

But with 360 lines, it is very difficult to bring forth the new, and those who are needed in society have long prevailed, and there is no way out even if they do not need them. But Shen Xi knows that there is an industry, which is definitely a million profits, that is, running a money bank, which is also an industry that gradually formed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but this seems to require more capital than doing a dart game.

The Son of Heaven replied here, the protagonist will definitely embark on the road of the imperial examination, but everyone found that no, now Shen Xi and his parents are still like rootless wanderers, as long as there is a slight wind and waves, they will break the halberd and sink into the sand and return to their original shape.

What Shen Xi is doing now is to improve the living conditions of himself and his family, and the most important thing is to have a stable opportunity to study.

Ninghua County is equivalent to a novice village for online games, and when the time is ripe, Shenxi will go to the capital city, the provincial capital, and the capital, and the new things that continue to happen, presumably everyone will not get bored.
