Chapter 29: Reaching the Settlement
Chapter XXIX: Arrival at the Settlement
The crow drove the car, Shang Wu accompanied the crow to sit outside the carriage and continued to blow the wind and continue to chat without a sentence, after a long time, Shang Wu couldn't stand it a little, and said ten sentences The crow would only have two or three sentences. Shang Wu felt very bored, so he went back to the carriage.
The bedding in the carriage is breathed outside, the door curtains and curtains of the carriage are opened for ventilation, and the smell in the carriage is much lighter, and it is difficult to find it without careful smelling.
Shang Wu then came to lie down in the carriage, just lay down and suddenly felt that the board of the wooden board was a little cold, how to sleep like this, so Shang Wu found a corner in the carriage and squatted down against the wooden board of the carriage to close his eyes and recuperate, and the dazed Shang Wu fell asleep again.
A cold wind suddenly blew into the carriage, which immediately woke Shang Wu up, and Shang Wu opened his eyes and saw a slender figure open the door curtain and enter. Shang Wu fixed his eyes and saw that it was a crow coming in, and Shang Wu thought about it and found that most of his body was squatting and numb, unable to move.
"Hurry up and help me up, I'm numb." Shang Wu said helplessly to the crow.
"Ha, the master of the merchant family, you are really a genius, you can sleep here, I admire the crow." The crow jokingly stepped forward and made a gesture.
"Don't make a fuss, come and help, I can't feel in both legs." Shang Wu said anxiously.
The crow looked at Shang Wu like this, and he was not playing with Shang Wu anymore, and then took Shang Wu's hand and slowly helped Shang Wu up.
"Slowly, slowly, I'm a little overwhelmed." Although the crow had already helped Shang Wu up very slowly, Shang Wu's poor physique could still clearly feel a burst of soreness and numbness pain from his calves and thighs when he slowly got up.
The crow looked at Shang Wu and was sweating profusely for a long time, and Shang Wu was very distressed with a declining face, so he slowed down his actions to help Shang Wu even more.
With this simple action of helping Shang Wu, two quarters of an hour passed.
Shang Wu slowly came to his senses, then remembered something and asked:
"Why did you get in and the convoy stopped?" Crow, the driver came in, and naturally the convoy should be in what situation.
"We have arrived at the new settlement that Mr. Shi will speak, most of the carriages have been parked as required, and there is already a group of people going to collect firewood, and soon a bonfire will be lit, and we can eat and drink some hot things tonight." The crow spoke of the current situation.
Shang Wu realized that the night had fallen outside, and it seemed that it was night, and now his legs were not so sore, but he was still unconscious, presumably his legs would feel the cold of the weather later.
It didn't take long for a bonfire to be lit in the circle formed by the convoy, and Shang Wu watched the bonfire come up and felt the temperature around him warm.
At this time, a figure walked over, and when he got closer, Shang Wu fixed his eyes before seeing that it was a stone.
"The head of the family has suffered all the way, so hurry up and drink hot water." Shi carried a pot of steaming water and a cup all the way over, poured a cup of hot water from the water vessel into the cup, then put the water vessel aside, and handed the cup to Shang Wu's hands.
Shang Wu took the cup and said with a joking smile:
"With this glass of water, the frost along the way has been driven away."
"The broth began to cook on the bonfire, and before leaving, Xiaoyu gave me a bunch of ingredients and cooking methods, by the way, crow, you big girl is the most careful, we are careless in our work, if you don't help, don't spoil this pot of delicious food, everyone is looking forward to a good meal" The stone looked at the crow and said embarrassedly.
"I'm still under Deacon Xiaoyu, since it's a matter of Deacon Xiaoyu's explanation, that's my business, I'll go over now, and I'll go over first." The crow said like Shang Wu retreated.
"When you get to the campfire, say that I told you to go, and they will explain the relevant matters to you." The stone said to the crow's back.
After Shi finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Shang Wu, and spoke by himself without waiting for Shang Wu to speak:
"What's the matter with this crow, she knocked over a jar of salted fish and made the head of the house suffer, or I will replace her with someone who can take care of people."
"Ahem, it was just an accident, in fact, she is still very careful, you also take care of her, this settlement is the top priority of our business, there must be no chaos, she is a capable person and has a lot of use, you must not be too slow, as long as she is dedicated to us, I can give her what I can give." Shang Wu listened to the stone's words, and immediately choked on a mouthful of water, but fortunately, the stone still didn't know the inside story, so he quickly rounded up the conversation.
"Is she that important?" Stone said with some disbelief.
Shang Wu didn't know how to explain the power to the stone, so he simply said:
"There are still a lot of things that our business lacks, and the heirs of our group who moved out are all very good, but we want to be based on the outside world in this world, and we can't do without many talented people, and we will not be able to move an inch without them."
Shi listened to Shang Wu's words a little foggy, but Shi felt that the head of the family was very good at this paragraph, and he was also very happy to praise his excellent psychology by the way.
"Remember that we have to care and take care of those outsiders more, and if we win their hearts, they will naturally die for the merchants." Shang Wu reminded the stone, don't be too rigid, but he just said implicitly.
"What the head of the family said is that in the future, we will treat them as if they were our own, but I will not spare them if they have bad intentions." The stone replied earnestly.
"By the way, the broth over there should be ready, I'll go over and take a look." Stone looked at the crowd around the fire and thought that the broth should be almost done.
Shang Wu watched the stone leave, and felt a little hungry, so he entered the carriage, found a cold and dry hard cake, and nibbled it carefully.
A cake was only two fingers wide, and Shang Wu was already gritting his teeth, which was the light on the car. Shang Wu turned his head to see that it was the crow who had returned, and brought back two large bowls of hot broth.
"Thanks to you, I also have the opportunity to eat the food prepared by Deacon Xiaoyu." The crow said happily.
"If you don't come again, my teeth will be gnawed off." Shang Wu said with a wry smile.
"Haha, it's good that your teeth are gone, no matter how good your ability is, no other girl will take a fancy to you in the future." The crow laughed, took Shang Wu's cake, broke it very much, and then sprinkled it in the two bowls of broth.
"Don't you say that the little fish deacon is really particular about eating, there are several kinds of ingredients alone, not to mention the taste of the stewed broth, and the people around are drooling when they smell it." The crow said happily.
"Do you know what's in the soup you cooked?" Shang Wu picked up a large bowl of broth, took a small sip and said.
"I don't know, it's delicious anyway, just follow the steps explained by Deacon Xiaoyu, this group of people is all except me is your old man, Deacon Xiaoyu is afraid that you will spoil these good things in a mess, not to mention that they are unpalatable, so he told me to do it." The crow said proudly.
“。。。。。。” Shang Wu's heart that still wanted to buy and sell knowledge was suddenly defeated by the crow's words.
