Chapter 160: The Journey

The further south he went, the hotter the weather became, and it was at this time that Sun Chen discovered that Liu Mingxuan was not only good at enjoying himself, but he could also endure the hardships that others could not bear, and it was not a problem for him to sleep in the wilderness and eat dry food like others, so it was no wonder that he could achieve such success.

Their fixed walking time is to get up at dawn every day to hurry, stop and rest for two hours at noon when the sun is very hot, and find a place to rest at night until they can't see the road clearly.

If they were in the wilderness, they would simply stay in a wagon, or set up a shed in an open field and spread straw mats for the night. There are many mosquitoes in summer, especially in the wilderness, even if you touch the insect repellent medicine on your body every day, there are often red envelopes formed by mosquito bites.

Some mosquitoes are particularly powerful, even if the red envelope is smeared with medicine at that time, not only will it not subside the next day, but will be infected and suppurated, you must ruthlessly open the pus, squeeze out the pus in the wound, and then apply the ointment again, so that the wound can slowly shrink and scab.

Sun Chen was a little crazy about this, but in five or six days, he had more than a dozen bags on him.

……

Sun Chen found that Liu Mingxuan's business experience is mainly to pull things that are unique to one place to sell elsewhere, which is commonly known as buying and selling. But he seems to have made this trafficking business very large, and almost everywhere he passed along the way, there was a small shop of his own. There are a wide variety of goods for reselling, from fruits, tea, cloth and grain, etc., to everything in between.

It is said that it is a shop, but in fact, it is an office, before Liu Mingxuan arrived, they had already found a home for the goods he was about to bring, and what they needed to do after the caravan came was to transport the things they needed, and before leaving, they loaded the local specialties that had been contacted in advance, and continued to be shipped to other places for sale.

The goods that set off in Yulan County at the beginning had already been unloaded in their repeated stops. However, because of the constant replenishment of new supplies, the carriages of the caravan were always full.

Liu Mingxuan's most powerful thing, in addition to his keen business acumen, is that the people he entrusts are all capable of some things, but they are all so loyal, which makes Sun Chen particularly envious and admired.

Thinking like this, Sun Chen also told him like this, but Liu Mingxuan said with a smile, there is no one who is not easy to use, it just depends on what kind of conditions you give the other party. Sun Chen couldn't help but think about his answer, is this the so-called feeding method correct? Looks like I still have a lot to learn from him!

With Liu Mingxuan's plug-in, when Sun Chen stopped along the caravan, he would ask Liu Mingxuan to send a guide to him, leading himself and his cousin Li Yicong to find fresh food everywhere, which was really easy and comfortable.

Needless to say, all kinds of fruits and snacks are self-explanatory, as the host, Liu Mingxuan will always prepare a lot, and the two of them have almost eaten all the special restaurants they found.

"If I continue to eat like this, my big belly will come out~" Sun Chen sat in the carriage, stroked his stuffed belly one by one, and looked at Liu Mingxuan with a resentful expression.

"You deserve it, a big man, what can you eat like this? No matter what you see along the way, it's like you haven't eaten it in eight lifetimes, which is really embarrassing. Liu Mingxuan looked down at the account book and didn't even look at Sun Chen.

"Help me see if there's anything wrong." After reading it, he threw the account book to Li Yicong on the other side.

Li Yicong took the account book and looked at it carefully, he followed along the way, he learned a lot from Liu Mingxuan, he simply regarded him as his idol, he was very familiar with checking the accounts, and of course he was happy to serve Liu Mingxuan.

"Although I haven't eaten it in eight lifetimes, I can sit and eat the special food there locally, and the taste is a little different from what I eat at the door of my home! Besides, who says that men can't eat it? Don't discriminate! ”

"I'm really convinced of you~" Liu Mingxuan shook his head. Although he is also very good at enjoying not treating himself badly, and he successfully 'seduced' Sun Chen on the grounds that he can eat, drink and have fun at will, but his unambitious appearance still makes him disagree.

"Young Master Liu, this money is always endless, sometimes you have to give yourself some time to enjoy life, otherwise why do you work hard to make so much money? But I don't seem to need to persuade you, it seems that you usually enjoy it better than me~" Sun Chen complained.

"Yes, I'm trying my best to make money now, what is it for?" Sun Chen's words made Liu Mingxuan look dazed, at the beginning he tried his best to make money, he wanted to straighten his waist in front of his father Qin Yunzhao, wanted to let others, especially his stepmother, live on his own snort and be suppressed by himself for the rest of his life, and wanted to protect his only sister and prevent her from letting her grandmother, who has always treated him well, live for a long time. But now, the word money is really just a number for him, he only knows how much money he makes every year, but he never thinks about what he can do with this money, and he seems to be the only one he can do for himself. If that's all he wants, then he doesn't earn a penny from now on, and it's enough for him to spend later.

But if you let yourself stop making money, it will never be possible, because you have pulled too many people to join your own warship, and too many people need to make money like this all the time.

Seeing that Liu Mingxuan's face was different, Sun Chen didn't say anything, Li Yicong was bowing his head and checking the accounts carefully, and there was a rare silence in the carriage.

……

Because of Sun Chen's gags along the way, coupled with Liu Mingxuan's acquiescence, the entire caravan marched south at an unprecedentedly slow speed, and the time had already exceeded their expectations, but they were still walking on the road, and they were still a long way from their final destination.

However, it is not for nothing, because Liu Mingxuan personally followed, and his accurate judgment made the transaction volume along the way much higher than any previous time, and Liu Mingxuan also had time to train them, which was not much of a waste.

There are cooks who are getting better and better, and everyone in the convoy has a little idea that they don't want to let the journey end like this.

……

A month later, the caravan was loaded with goods and successfully arrived at its destination, Fenghai County, which is under the jurisdiction of Nan County.

As soon as he arrived in Fenghai County, there was a salty smell rushing into his nose, and Sun Chen knew that this was the smell of the sea.
