Chapter 72: Ambition and Business
Time is fair for everyone, whether you're in a hurry or at a leisurely pace, it flows in its own way, bit by bit. Su Ren is very good at enjoying time, he is lazy, he can sit and never stand, and he can lie down and never sit.
Now, Su Ren is lying on the Taishi chair, stretching out his limbs, and taking a nap with his eyes closed. Smiling, contented, and calm.
Hawking was lying on the table boredly, his fingers tapping rhythmically, knocking on the tune that Su Ren had just hummed. It sounds weird, but it's good.
"Big brother, let's just do nothing? Just sit here all day drinking tea and chatting? Hawking suddenly poked his head forward: "Can you tell me, what are we looking for those blacksmiths and stonemasons for?" ”
Su Ren shook his head: "No, even if I tell you that you don't understand, to be honest, I still like this woman Shama Shayi, she is ambitious, and I saw it in her eyes when I saw her for the first time, so I used the introduction of Yelang King to lead her, and now although she has suffered some setbacks, as long as she is given a chance, she still has to explode her ambitions." ”
"Oh!" Hawking seems to understand: "Such a woman is not good, women should be husbands and children at home, and men should be ambitious." ”
"Hehe, although what you said is a little reasonable, but it is not necessarily true, both men and women are ambitious, the greater the ambition of people, the more killings will be caused, killing one person is a murderer, killing ten people is a robber, killing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, that is the emperor, the logic of our Han people thinks that men should be ambitious, in fact, it is not a good thing for men to have ambitions, once there are more ambitious people, the world will be in chaos."
"The ambitions of men and women are the same, but as men, we feel that women should not have them, God is fair to everyone, but the world has bound some people or certain types of people."
"I don't understand what the eldest brother said, anyway, I think a woman should settle down!" Hawking shook his head, his eyes glazed out in confusion.
Su Ren sighed. Since I came here, I haven't found anyone who can talk about it, and the most learned thing in the whole warm water is common things, and he is still a miser. Not to mention others, talking to Hawking about this, in fact, is simply wanting to speak, whether Hawking understands it or not, just say it.
"Forget it, you don't understand this with you, what is real ambition, you will know later, how are you going to do things? Have you found out the root of that housekeeper? ”
Hawking let out a sigh: "Difficult! If you want to say that it is our Han people, I still have some way, we are not familiar with the place of life in Yelang, and I can't understand what people are saying when I ask someone, so far, I only know that the guy's name is Duotong, he is the son of the steward of the previous city lord's mansion, his mother is a slave, he died after giving birth, the old housekeeper was buried after the death of the previous city lord, he took over the position of the steward, and it is also a family, today is forty-three, and he has not married a wife. ”
"No children, no daughters, no fathers and no mothers, alone? That's the problem. ”
"What's wrong with this, people don't want to marry and have children, what's so strange?"
"That's not the case, as a housekeeper family, although it is also a slave, it has a high status in Wuyang, but anyone who has status, what he naturally wants is to continue this position from generation to generation, a forty-three man, even if he doesn't want to get married and have children, how can his father, the old housekeeper of the previous generation, not have this idea? Seniors want to have children! ”
"The old butler is dead!" Hawking reminded.
Su Ren smiled: "That is, three years ago, this housekeeper should have been forty at that time, right?" It's not strange to be a grandfather in our big man. ”
Hawking scratched his head: "It's a bit strange to say this, it stands to reason that there is no shortage of food or clothing in many of the same family, with his status as a slave, it is not possible to find a good family, and it is not difficult to find a slave to be a good person, those maids of Shama Shayi are all good-looking, if this guy likes it, Shama Shayi is estimated to not be stingy." ”
"Keep checking! I always think this person is very strange, what did you just say his name is? ”
"Do-same!"
"Oh! Duotong, an authentic Yelang name! ”
The midday sun is very poisonous, and it looks like it's about to enter May, and the humid air is like a steamer after being exposed, even if you sit under the tree, it's not very cool. The Sichuan Plain is the shape of a basin, and Wuyang is located right on the southwest corner of the basin. The wind blowing from the south could not cross the mountains, and the wind from the north was dispersed by the plains. The cold air that comes down from the plateau is burned by the sun before it arrives.
Su Ren unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his white chest, and the sweat had already formed droplets on his chest. Hawking hurriedly handed over the cloth towel and grabbed the fan to fan Su Ren.
Su Ren picked up the teacup and took a sip: "There should be a glass of chilled juice at this time." ”
Hawking smiled: "On such a hot day, where did the ice come from?" We don't have an ice cellar either, so bear with me, it will be cool in a few months. ”
Gou Tianming entered the door shirtless, and just now he went to the freight yard to help. Because of the quarrel with the city lord's mansion, the people of Wuyang did not dare to do business with them, so Su Ren decided to temporarily close the shop and sell all the remaining goods to Cai Mo to reduce his losses. Huo Laosi went back with the goods, and Gou Tianming needed to be busy alone. For someone who had never done this before, it was difficult.
Here in Su Ren, there is no need to talk about any rules. Gou Tianming sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, poured it all into it with a raised neck, let out a refreshing sound, spit out the hot air gathered in his lungs, stepped on the chair, and laughed.
"This Cai Mo is not bad, the price given is also fair, we can still make a small profit."
"Done?" Hawking looked at Gou Tianming: "My Ah Da will be here tomorrow, can we reopen the door for business?" ”
Su Ren nodded: "Of course, this Wuyang is not only a merchant, but our goods can't just be given to him, otherwise we will lose our status in Wuyang, and we can't hang ourselves on a tree when doing business, and we must learn to diversify our investment." ”
Both nodded. For such a long time, from what Su Ren has done, the two of them have thrown themselves to the ground for the five bodies that Su Ren admires, as long as Su Ren says it, it must be a golden and jade good word.
"I don't know how many craftsmen the fourth brother brought this time?"
Gou Tianming hurriedly replied: "The fourth brother has sent someone to send a letter, saying that there are a lot of people who have been recruited, and Liu Wen has become a lot quieter when he goes back this time, and many things have been done very smoothly." ”
"That's good! Liu Wen is also a person who understands current affairs, so he will release Liu Hong tomorrow, send someone to Han Realm safely, inform Liu Wen, and ask him to send someone to pick him up, this kid can't die now, at least not in our hands. ”
"Okay, I'll do it!"
Gou Tianming agreed, turned around and walked out. Su Ren hurriedly shouted.
"Don't worry, take a break, this sweaty, tell the kitchen, the weather is hot these days, boil more light salt soup, send it to the brothers, whoever is thirsty will drink some, it is very important to replenish water, and let the brothers be leisurely, there is nothing to do horizontally, there is no need to work at noon, and it is good to take a nap."
"Huh!" Gou Tianming smiled: "It's still good for Mr., thoughtful, Mr. rest assured, these guys have rough skin and thick meat, and they are used to coming and going in the wind and rain, let them enjoy their happiness, and they don't want to move if they are used to being lazy." ”
"Just don't let everyone get too tired! In the afternoon, take a few people with me to the herb shop. ”
"Sir is sick? Then you have to ask Lang Zhong to take a look, you can't delay. ”
"If you're not sick, you can't go to the herb shop? There's something! ”
"Okay, sir, rest, I'm going to get busy!"
used to be a robber who killed people without blinking, but now he has become more disciplined, and he still cares about people. If you don't know Gou Tianming, you definitely can't imagine what it looks like when you eat a half-baked wild boar with a big blade.
It was just too hot. Su Ren wiped his body with water, which cooled down a little. After lunch, I took Hawking and Gou Tianming to the medicinal herb shop. The medicinal herb shop in Wuyang was very small, the local people had no money, and there would be no one to treat the slaves when they were sick. Only the powerful occasionally come to visit. A small doorway, open on a secluded street. The boss is still a businessman, and the location is close to the City Lord's Mansion, and the gate of the City Lord's Mansion can be seen from the door.
Su Ren is now a celebrity in Wuyang, and there are not many people who don't know him. The boss, who was drying medicine in the yard, saw Su Ren coming in, hurriedly threw down the things in his hand, and saluted Su Ren respectfully. Su Ren was followed by seven or eight big men, which startled the boss, and he was a little unfavorable when he spoke.
"Mr. Su can come, it's an honor to be here, hurry, please inside!"
Su Ren was not polite, put his hands behind his back, and entered the house with his head held high. The room was full of medicinal herbs, the weather was hot and humid, and many of the medicinal herbs were a little moldy. The whole room exuded a faint smell of medicine and mold. Su Ren sat down on the top hand, Hawking and Gou Tianming were on one side, and the other big men were guarding the door. The boss who was surrounded in the middle was uncomfortable, and he didn't know where he offended this killer.
"Don't be afraid, boss, I'm here today to do business with the boss, big business."
"Huh!" The boss laughed dryly: "It is an honor for the small shop to be able to do business with Mr. Su, as long as Mr. Su speaks, the small shop will do its best." ”
Su Ren looked around: "There are a lot of medicinal herbs!" I don't know what medicines are available? ”
"Although our shop is smaller, the medicinal materials are also complete, and all the medicines produced by my Yelang are somewhat or less."
"Oh? It's not easy! ”
"Mr. Su complimented him! I don't know what Mr. Su needs? ”
Su Ren smiled, motioned for the boss to sit down, and said. The boss sat tremblingly on the side, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
"You also know my business, there are a lot of goods needed, everything that Yelang produces, naturally including medicinal materials, so I want to do a long-term deal with the boss, the boss will buy medicinal materials for me, I can buy or exchange things, I don't know ......"
