Chapter 168 Another Village
In the depths of winter, the weather is getting colder.
The strange thing is that God didn't even have a single snowfall.
Such a strange weather has made the old farmers in Shangxiahe Village worry that there will be disasters in the coming year.
Fortunately, the repair of the embankments in the two villages has been completed after more than a month, and the lime has been transported from the lime workshops to the construction sites of the two villages, and after reacting with the water, it has been mixed with mud to strengthen the river.
At least now, the embankment is hard enough to resist the outbreak of a century-old flash flood.
Although the living immortal "Qingxi Dao Chief" pointed out the "maze" and warned in advance, it is a pity that the evil beast is still not ambushed, and the farmers are still living in anxiety.
Fortunately, now that the renovation of Heti has come to an end, the two villages can free up a lot of manpower, and the men can go to the lime workshop to help and earn some money for the New Year; The women, organized by two village heads, are responsible for preparing sacks for spare use and also have a small income.
The farmers have forgotten for a moment what they will face in the coming year, at least this year can be happy and healthy.
With this expenditure, if there is no profit from soap and soap, even the deep-rooted Zheng Wangfu will almost be unable to support it.
The Gao family, on the other hand, is not so optimistic.
Not only was the family fund wiped out, but Gao Sheng smashed all the dividends sent by Yixiangtang every month, which made the Heti in Xiahe Village repaired and the Gao family barely maintained its operation.
Since Gao Yue entered the palace, Gao Sheng felt that nothing was going well, and he didn't expect that the repair of the river embankment in Xiahe Village would cost so much money, and the family funds were all gone, and the dividends of Yixiangtang were also used.
It's not easy to be a good person in the mouth of a banker.
On this day, Gao Sheng was lying listlessly on the recliner in the hall, his head was empty, and he didn't even bother to make money, feeling that as soon as his daughter entered the palace, she was simply loveless, everything didn't matter, and even the completion of the small deep well made him not have a trace of joy.
At this moment, he only heard the noise outside, and he didn't bother to take care of it, let alone move, even if the emperor Lao'er came, he would have to lie on the recliner corpse.
"Little villain, come out to meet Lao Cheng, slow down, Lao Cheng will smash your ass."
Cheng Zhijie shouted outside, and then the housekeeper Sun Youfu greeted the guests in a low voice.
Gao Sheng rolled his eyes, rolled over on the recliner, and casually covered his ears with his fingers, too lazy to listen.
can pump his ass, Lao Cheng has already pumped it, and every time they meet, he shouts and pumps his ass, and he is tired of listening.
Next, when he blocked his ears, he vaguely heard Lao Cheng Pogong's voice shouting, what "send money", what "dividends" and the like, he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Send money? Dividends! ”
Conditionally, Gao Yue straightened up from the recliner as soon as he bounced up, he was short of money now.
Recently, he has been upset about three things, first, of course, his daughter entered the palace and sealed the princess, and there is no news; The second thing is that Li Mingyue seems to have disappeared recently; The third thing is money.
Will Lao Cheng take the initiative to send him money?
The answer is no!
There must be something for him to do.
Sure enough, as soon as Lao Cheng and Xiao Cheng entered the hall with the housekeeper Sun Youfu, they saw him lying on the recliner in a daze, and immediately became angry and scolded: "Little villain, so disrespectful to Lao Cheng, Lao Cheng sent you money, and he didn't go out to greet him, right?" ”
And Cheng Chubi looked obedient, but secretly winked at him, reminding him not to make Lao Cheng angry, otherwise a smoking would be inevitable.
"Send money, what money?" Gao Sheng got up and asked, not afraid of Lao Cheng pumping his ass at all.
"Damn, this bad boy is really warm!" Lao Cheng rolled his eyes and complained, answering the question.
Cheng Chubi looked at Gao Sheng's ignorant appearance, with a bitter and hateful face, if it weren't for his good friends, he wouldn't have bothered to remind him, so he said carefully: "Hero mahjong hall ......"
Gao Sheng was slightly stunned and understood.
At that time, Lao Cheng didn't look down on cultural undertakings and wanted to do the gambling industry, so he said casually, and he also had a bit of a mind to deal with Lao Cheng, and he didn't take it seriously at all, how could he remember?
didn't expect Lao Cheng to take it seriously, and really did it according to his routine, and also sent him a share of the hero mahjong hall of the month.
Will Lao Cheng give him money?
This style of painting is obviously not the right way!
"Hey, little villain, Lao Cheng has sent you money, and you can easily make Lao Cheng's Lu Guogong Mansion warm, what's the matter?"
It was originally a question of inquiry, but when it came out of Lao Cheng's mouth, it didn't mean that at all.
I didn't give him a choice, so if I didn't do it, I just waited for bad luck.
But Gao Sheng, who was in a bad mood, still shook his head and said, "Don't." ”
Sure enough, Lao Cheng blew his beard and glared, and said sharply: "Hey, you little villain, do you really think that Lao Cheng won't dare to whip you?" ”
Gao Sheng was in a bad mood and said indifferently: "There is no Baiguan renovation fee, Cheng Lao Guogong still bakes charcoal fire to keep warm, and wants to save money, unless Lu Guogong's mansion is built from the house." ”
Lao Cheng's eyes widened, and he was about to be angry, but he suddenly laughed and said: "The bad boy is treacherous enough, but Lao Cheng likes it." ”
Gao Sheng was slightly stunned, Lao Cheng didn't get angry!
I only heard Lao Cheng say again: "The renovation fee of 100 guan is the reconstruction cost of 100 guan, and your kid is indispensable, but your kid has to do Lao Cheng a favor." ”
Lao Cheng can agree to such conditions, it seems that there is indeed a conspiracy, he hurriedly asked, "What are you busy with?" ”
"I heard Xiao Cheng say that the bad boy is clever at rubbing hemp?" Lao Cheng suddenly asked.
Gao Sheng nodded, no squeak.
Lao Cheng continued: "That's it, at the end of each month, you go to the Hero Mahjong Hall to sign up for the mahjong competition, and you must also get the first place 'Rubbing Mahjong Champion', the registration fee is out of Lao Cheng, and the prize money goes to Lao Cheng." ”
Gao Sheng fell headlong, it turned out that Lao Cheng had this idea.
Lao Cheng imitated a green building in Pingkang, rebuilt it into a hero mahjong hall, and held a mahjong tournament with the routine given to him by Gao Sheng, and the young lady of the original Qinglou was retained to serve gamblers.
This approach, coupled with novel gambling equipment and high-rise routines, immediately attracted the nobles, clan relatives, and foreign envoys of Chang'an.
In a month, the profit of the Hero Casino exceeded 300 yuan.
Lao Cheng didn't want to be cheap and promoted, but he said five or five points in advance, and Lao Cheng couldn't break his promise, not to mention that he had to compete for the first, second, and first names of mahjong competitions every month, and there were dozens of expenditures here, of course, it couldn't be cheap for outsiders.
Seeing that Cheng Chubi Mahjong was playing smoothly, he immediately asked Gao Sheng from Cheng Chubi's mouth, and saw that the first mahjong competition was about to determine the top three, so there was Lao Cheng under the guise of sending money, to invite him to come out of the horse, in order to strengthen the momentum of the mahjong competition.
Lao Cheng asked Xiao Cheng to tell the cause and effect of the matter, Gao Sheng rolled his eyes, this is really a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
I didn't expect the entertainment industry to make so much money in Datang, it seems that he has to plan carefully, no one is afraid of money, not to mention that he is still short of money......
