Liu Yong hurriedly counted the remaining money, and there were only four hundred wen left, which seemed to be not enough, so he went to ask for the two hundred wen handed over to the young man, so that he had enough six hundred wen. He also has to leave a hundred wen as liquidity, although it is very little, but it is better than nothing. Liquidity is very important for doing business, and Liu Yong knows this very well. Even though it's a small deal, you'll lose money if you don't do it well. Now for Liu Yong, even such a small business cannot afford to lose.

He also had to leave dozens of Wen as food expenses for He Yingying. Because he had no income until the trade began. After allocating the rest of the money, the first thing to do is to make a cart for sale. This is one of the main ideas that sets him apart from other stalls. In his imagination, it should be similar to the modern careful eating car. The second step is to make a set of clothes, what kind of clothes do you have? I'll wait until we get to the garment shop.

After planning it, Liu Yong saw that Yingying was still asleep, so he gently closed the door and stepped on the creaking and thrilling stairs downstairs. Find the landlord and ask where there is a wooden car. The old man said that in the north of the city there was a carpenter who specialized in making carriages and furniture. Liu Yong can go to him.

Liu Yong thanked the landlord and the old man, and asked the landlord and the old woman to wait for Yingying to wake up and help take care of it. The old woman was about sixty years old, with gray hair and a thin body, and she looked like a very energetic old lady. The mother-in-law readily agreed to Liu Yong's request.

It was very close to the north of the city, and Liu Yong trotted all the way to the carpenter's shop. The shop smelled of shavings. The carpenter was a bearded man in his forties, scraping a plank with a planer. Seeing Liu Yong coming, he put down the work in his hand.

Liu Yong told him in detail about the style of the small wooden car, but the carpenter asked Liu Yong for 700 yuan, and he didn't do anything less. He also said that he was very busy, and he was unwilling to take on a small job like Liu Yong.

Liu Yong laughed when he heard it.

The carpenter pursed his lips, glanced at Liu Yong, and continued to scrape his plank.

"Master, I only have four hundred Wen, please help." Liu Yong prayed solemnly.

The carpenter was very good, he didn't even look at Liu Yong, just scraped his plank, and the right to Liu Yong didn't exist. Liu Yong thought to himself: "Is there no second carpentry workshop in this huge Meizhou City?" But he didn't dare to gamble, if he walked away like this, if he couldn't find another house, it would be difficult to bargain again. He decided to live or die here, and he relied on a small car. What to do? Then lower the requirements - let's make it simple. So he simplified the car again.

"Six hundred texts. I won't do anything less. Carpenter Niu X said coaxingly.

Liu Yong is really enough, and he secretly scolded in his heart. But he also saw that the reason why this carpenter was like this was probably because of the rarity. It seems that there is also a carpenter shop in this Meizhou City. Although he relied on his craft to eat, he made his own business. It looks like it's planted here today. But in any case, the carpenter had to make a car for 400 yuan. And it can't be simple anymore.

Liu Yong stopped talking, he knew that it was useless to talk too much about a cattle man like a carpenter. Instead, it will backfire. Liu Yong looked around in this spacious workshop. The carpenter ignored it and scraped the planks with a clatter. From time to time, pick up the plank and level it with one eye.

Looking at it, Liu Yong stood up suddenly, and through a small open door, he saw two spiritual seats in a room. If I'm not mistaken, it's the carpenter's parents. It seems that this carpenter is a dutiful son.

Liu Yong suddenly had an idea. So he was bold and entered the mourning hall without the carpenter's consent. Kneel in front of the Lingling Throne and kowtow. Then he began to cry.

The carpenter stopped what he was doing and was stunned. He looked over and saw Liu Yong crying while getting up and offering incense in front of the spiritual seat. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly. Then he buried his head and continued to work, seemingly forgetting Liu Yong's existence again.

Liu Yong's head also kowtowed, and the incense was also on. Wiping tears from his eyes, he staggered out of the mourning hall. Don't think that Liu Yong's tears are fake, drop by drop crystal clear is like a fake. When he kowtowed to the two dead old men, he thought of his parents, and thought of their hard work to raise themselves, but they couldn't fulfill their filial piety, and they had to let their white-haired people send black-haired people. Tears welled up in a moment.

It was precisely because of Liu Yong's sadness that the carpenter was stunned.

Walking out of the mourning hall, Liu Yong was still sobbing. The carpenter was not indifferent, shaking his head and sighing slightly as he worked. But he didn't talk to Liu Yong. It's like a dumb one.

Through a short period of contact, Liu Yong saw the carpenter's personality. It's the kind of person who has good craftsmanship and poor emotional intelligence. If it weren't for the only one, he would have lost a lot of business. In fact, Liu Yong is too lazy to bargain with such a person, because such an upright person will not ask for more money from guests. But he can't help it, he doesn't have any money in his hand.

Liu Yong wiped his tears, looked around again, and saw a messy pile of wood piled on the ground on the south side of the house. During the work, the carpenter still didn't say a word to Liu Yong, just worked with his head down. Liu Yong didn't say anything, he also worked with his head bored. Like two deaf and dumb people.

After stacking the wood, Liu Yong began to clean up the shavings again, without saying a word, not even looking at the carpenter. When Liu Yong put the last piece of shavings into the sack, he finally heard the carpenter's words: "Okay, don't do it, I'll make the car for you." ”

In a word, Liu Yong, who was happy, jumped up and shouted, "Really? ”

The carpenter nodded and said, "It seems that you are also a filial son." Then he put aside the scraped planks and began to pick up the material in the pile of wood. Liu Yong smiled slightly, and wanted to go over to help, but was stopped by the carpenter: "You are my guest, not my small worker." I don't need your help. ”

This carpenter is very ethical, and Liu Yong is funny and admired. But his goal was achieved, and it was casual.

"Officer, come and pick up the car tomorrow afternoon. I need time. The carpenter set aside the timber he had picked.

Liu Yong nodded and handed the four hundred yuan to the carpenter.

"One hand to deliver, one hand to pay. That's my rule. The carpenter said coldly.

Liu Yong smiled, took back the money, and thought to himself: "This person is just a tendon, how can he practice such a good skill?" I was born to be useful. ”

Liu Yong thanked him and turned to leave.

In addition to the 100 yuan of liquidity, there are more than 100 yuan left in the pocket. He's going to spend half of it making a dress. The remaining half was used as rations for these two days and Yingying.

Don't procrastinate, the subconscious in your head is telling Liu Yong. He quickly went to a tailor shop and told the owner about the style of clothes he was going to make. Use the cheapest linen. After bargaining, the final forty wen was sold. Out of the store, Liu Yong sighed that the clothes in the Song Dynasty were really cheap. An RMB can make a simple linen robe for a dozen dollars.

After doing these things, Liu Yong returned directly to the inn. Before I even entered the house, I heard Yingying's cry. Liu Yong paused, his heart was raised, and he hurriedly stepped into the house. Seeing the landlord's mother-in-law holding a piece of pastry, coaxing Yingying who wiped her tears and cried.

Liu Yong's heart was sour, and he hurriedly walked over. Yingying saw her uncle coming, and rushed over without saying a word. Liu Yong squatted down and took Yingying into his arms.

Yingying laughed and cried and asked where Liu Yong had gone. Liu Yong choked up and explained, but his arms wrapped Yingying tighter. The landlady on the side looked teary-eyed.

Liu Yong promised Yingying that he would never leave her in the future, and Yingying stopped crying. The two went upstairs, and Yingying kept holding Liu Yong's hand, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

Liu Yong thought to himself: "What a pitiful pick-up child, fortunately, there is still me." Otherwise......" couldn't help but sigh, and thought: "If I hadn't crossed, then this Liu Yong would have been poisoned by that woman and his cousin." The motor took away Li Xinniang and Yun'er, what should Yingying do! Will he be sold to a green house, or become a little beggar? It is also possible to freeze to death or starve to death. He imagined this, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Fortunately, I crossed by myself, poor Yingying has something to rely on, God, thank you.

At this time, he looked at Yingying's crying little face, and couldn't help but hold Yingying in his arms again. Tears swirled in his eyes. He did not forget his oath and rescued Li Xinniang and Yun'er, so that Yingying could live a princess-like life.

……

Dinner was eaten at the landlord's place, and Liu Yong casually gave a few pennies.

In fact, in the Song Dynasty, night markets have already appeared. Meizhou City is no exception, not only Meihua Street, but also ordinary street shops are all open until the second or third watch. After eating, there was nothing to do, so Liu Yong led Yingying around, so that he could familiarize himself with the streets of Meizhou City.

The streets are deserted with pedestrians. After all, the spring cold is still a bit steep, and at night, it is better to stay at home and sleep in the hot bed with your wife in your arms.

Yingying also felt cold, and the two returned to the inn. Without a TV, computer, or smartphone, Liu Yong felt really bored. He really didn't know how ordinary people in ancient times survived these long nights. Scholars can read by candlelight, but what about those who can't read big characters?

But now, Liu Yong doesn't have to read even if he wants to. He asked the landlord, and there were no readers in the house, so there were no books. However, after about a cup of tea, the young man sent Liu Yong a Buddhist scripture. They are all small seals, they know Liu Yong, but Liu Yong can't bear them.

It's a boring night, but fortunately, there is Yingying as a companion, and it's not lonely.

Liu Yong asked Yingying to sleep in another son's bed, but Yingying said that she would not go and would have to sleep with him. Liu Yong was helpless, blew out the oil lamp, and lay down. Yingying hugged his arm tightly with both arms, as if he was afraid that he would fly.

The clear moonlight through the panes divided the middle room into many squares. The surroundings are so quiet, so quiet that people don't even dare to breathe.

Liu Yong felt depressed, and he remembered to come outside to breathe. How could it be that Yingying had already fallen asleep holding his arm. He didn't dare to move, and he didn't know how long it was, but he fell into a deep sleep.
