Chapter 24: Hunger and thirst

"Uncle, you see that big brother is motionless like a log, how funny. Hehehe. Xiao Yingying pointed at the young man and giggled.

Liu Yong looked over with a smile, and the young man's face turned even redder.

"Little brother, come here." Liu Yong called him.

The young man woke up with a spirit, and immediately squeezed out an ugly smile on his stiff face, and walked bent over.

"Official, what, what's the matter?" The young man has looked down on Liu Yong since the day he came. Somehow, when I saw Liu Yong, I felt a little jealous in my heart. may be because Liu Yongchang is handsome, but he is an ugly monster with small eyes and a big mouth. and Liu Yong, although he was wearing a silk robe, he had no money in his waist bag pocket, which was typical of the difference between what he appeared and what he said. And a capable person like himself can only wear coarse cloth clothes every day, and his heart is indignant. How can a person like Liu Yong be? I just seized a good opportunity today, and I wanted to laugh at Liu Yong. I didn't expect this face of my own, but ...... It's swollen.

Liu Yong casually took out a string of copper coins in the money bag, and it seemed that there were at least about 100 yuan.

"Brother Lao is going to buy some wine and meat, and I want to drink some wine with the old man." Liu Yong said with a smile while putting the copper coin in the young man's outstretched hand. He had long seen that the young man was more or less hostile to him. "Hmm...... The rest of the money counts as your tip. ”

"Tip?" The young man asked in a daze with the money string in both hands.

Liu Yong thought: "By the way, there was no such thing as a tip in ancient times. It should be called a bounty. He said, "It's the money you were given for running errands." ”

As soon as the young man heard that he still had money to make, he suddenly forgot that his face had just been beaten, and immediately started laughing and went away.

The old man looked at the back of the young man and sighed to himself: "People are different, what people do has long been destined." Ducks can't get on the shelf. At this time, he was already impressed by Liu Yong. How can you not admire the fact that people have earned this money in less than half a day without stealing or robbing?

"The official is polite, and there are also drinks and food at home, so why bother to spend money?" The old man's tall and thin body bent in front of Liu Yong.

"Uncle, you're welcome, today is my first day of business in Meizhou City. The picture is auspicious. Liu Yong said and pulled the old man into the house.

The old woman was not feeling well today, and had been lying in the inner bedroom.

The young man bought the wine and food after a while, and reported to Liu Yong, he still had more than 30 yuan left, which was worth his day's wages. Liu Yong rewarded him with another glass of wine, and after drinking, he picked up the money and went away.

After beating here, the young man was almost obedient to Liu Yong until Liu Yong moved out from here.

After eating, Liu Yong led Yingying to buy goods. According to today's market, he can not have any liquidity at all, because there is no backlog of goods at all. So he decisively bought all the money. He calculated before, and today he earned a total of 500 Wen, plus the capital of 600 Wen, which is a lot of consistent, and he bought some goods from the fat shopkeeper, so that he can sell it for a day. But he decided to sell only half a day anyway, because this freshness and hunger is the best way to market.

When Liu Yongyi entered the store, the fat shopkeeper's heart chuckled, and he thought: "It's bad, this kid must not be able to sell the goods and come back to find trouble." He greeted Liu Yong with a calm face. When he knew that Liu Yong was here to buy goods, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy. Hurriedly prepared the goods according to Liu Yong's intentions. Then, I couldn't help but ask Liu Yong curiously why it sold so quickly.

Liu Yong doesn't hide it, it's all in plain sight, and he can't hide it if he wants to. What's more, there is no need for him to hide anything. His goal is not just to make a living in a small business. Don't forget, he still has a foreign debt of more than 500 taels of silver.

"High, high, really high." The fat shopkeeper couldn't help but give Liu Yong a thumbs up. The young man on the side was dumbfounded. This was the first time they had heard of this way of selling. Seeing that Liu Yong's business was so good, he couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, but he didn't dare to quit the iron rice bowl here.

The next day, before Liu Yong arrived, the intersection was full of women. The big and small, the tall and the short, the fat and the thin, the beautiful and the ugly, almost blocked the intersection.

There are so many women, and they can only be seen at the lantern festival of the Shangyuan Festival.

The men were full of eyes and came out to see the beauties.

When Liu Yong took Yingying and pushed the car to the intersection, this scene stunned Liu Yong. As far as the eye can see, there are at least forty or fifty people at this intersection who are pressed by the black, and there are women in the water.

Those big and small ladies, as soon as they saw Liu Yong coming, they immediately flocked to it. Liu Yong was once again overwhelmed by women. In fact, there are many women who come to see handsome guys. Liu Yong didn't know that since he set up his stall yesterday, his peculiar car, his identity as a Chinese and foreign mixture, and his handsome appearance have spread among the women on the streets. It became the main after-dinner conversation in the boudoir last night. In addition to the hot topic of whether a young man is suitable for selling rouge gouache to women. It's hard for Liu Yong's stall to be popular.

At this time, one of the few men watching the excitement on the periphery pouted, and said with a smell of vinegar: "What's there, I'll sell rouge gouache tomorrow." His wife said fiercely, "You sell? You can't scare away other people's ladies if you sell them. Don't you look at what you look like? The big eyelids snapped and rolled a few times, "Look at the foreign little Langjun again, what a pretty guy." As soon as Liu Yong was mentioned, his tone immediately became tender. provoked several old women around her to laugh, laughing at her like a spring cat. The angry man shook off the sweat towel in his hand and entered the grocery store. His wife also followed him into the shop in shame. The two inevitably quarreled again.

In less than a morning, Liu Yong's goods were announced to be sold out. Many of the ones that didn't buy them had to leave in a huff, waiting to come back the next day.

In this way, Liu Yong only goes out of the stall for half a day every day, and he can sell out the incoming goods every time, and there is no need to press the goods at all. He doesn't buy too much every time, just buy one morning's food. In this way, if there is no rouge woman who buys it every day, then she will definitely come the next day. This also ensures that his booth is always overcrowded the next day. The clustering effect of hunger and thirst was vividly exerted by Liu Yong.

Since Liu Yong set up a rouge gouache stall, the old man's rouge gouache in the middle of Meihua Street can't be sold, his business is not good, and this time it can be regarded as complete despair.

One day, when Liu Yong closed the stall, the old man intercepted Liu Yong on the side of the road and complained to Liu Yong. But this is a sale, what can Liu Yong do? explained to the old man for a long time, and finally collected the goods from the old man's stall, and gave him some more money to set up a separate stall. That's all Liu Yong can do, and that's when he sees the old man's pity.

But the consciousness in Liu Yong's mind was telling him that the shopping mall was like a battlefield, and kindness to the enemy was cruelty to oneself. There is still a long way to go in the future, which means that greater danger is still to come. If you're not careful, you're going to be doomed. So, remember, remember. Don't do business rashly.

Liu Yong also firmly remembered this.

However, if business is good, people will be jealous. Some people with bad hearts on Meihua Street hooked up with some idlers and aimed at Liu Yong's stall. The key is that Liu Yong is an outsider, unfamiliar with life, and the best prey for idlers. These idlers have nothing to do all day long, wandering the streets and shops, and always looking for an opportunity to touch porcelain and spend some money.

But Liu Yong didn't know, although he was also vigilant, after all, he had come to a strange place. What he was careless about was that he thought he was just a small businessman standing on the street. It's a small amount of money, and it won't cause any trouble. So as soon as a few days passed, the vigilance relaxed.

Pinching his fingers, Liu Yong has been setting up a stall for eight days. This morning, the sky was overcast, and Yingying was still sleeping. If he goes out of the stall today, he doesn't plan to bring Yingying, and he didn't bring her yesterday. Because a mother and daughter temporarily lived in the inn, the daughter was about eight or nine years old.

Yingying easily met a child of the same age, and the two were playing hotly, so they didn't want to go to the street with Liu Yong. Liu Yong is also happy to be relaxed. Anyway, I will be back before noon.

That morning, he washed his face and had a simple breakfast. Now he doesn't care much about food, he knows in his heart that if he makes money in the future, he can go to a restaurant every day. To live a hard life is to live a hard life.

Wearing a robe that symbolized foreigners, Liu Yong paced back and forth in the room, his handsome face thoughtful. Suddenly, he went to the side of the bed again, took out a money bag under the bed, poured the money into the bed, and counted it.

It's a total of six dollars. I earned six yuan in eight days, and this result is already good, with an average of more than 700 yuan a day, and more than 200 yuan. It's a good deal in modern times.

Even if he earns a consistent amount every day, he only has 300 yuan without eating or drinking for half a year, and he can't pay back the more than 500 yuan at all. And such a small business has no long-term development prospects. And it will be good and bad, because after all, it is not a consumable that is used in large quantities. A box of rouge is enough for half a year, and only women with a little money will use it. There is simply no guarantee of daily sales. If you want to earn the first pot of gold in the Great Song Dynasty, you must find another way.

Although there is not much money, but he also has to save some, Liu Yong woke up Yingying when he put the money back and asked him if he was following him to the street and playing with the young lady. Yingying chose the latter, after all, children are very playful, and they will get tired of panicking when they go to the street every day.

Liu Yong locked the door, handed Yingying to the landlady, asked her to get food for Yingying, and let them play together when the new little girl came downstairs. Liu Yong earned money, so he gave 400 wen for food, in order to make Yingying eat better. The landlord's mother-in-law is also very dedicated, and every time she cooks, she has to ask Yingying what she likes to eat before buying or cooking.

After settling Yingying, Liu Yong pushed the cart and went to Meihua Street against the dark clouds......
