Eating a full meal, sleeping peacefully, and being able to play with his brothers when he has nothing to do, this was the happiest life in Chen Xiaomeng's dreams.

Chen Xiao's hometown was originally in Youzhou, from the moment he was born, Chen Xiao was abandoned by his parents, and later he was adopted by an old lady Liu, an old man and a young man depended on each other, although the days were tight, but they have been safe and sound, until four years ago, everything changed.

Four years ago, the Tartars began to loot the Han people in Youzhou, when a team of Tartar soldiers passed near Liu's house, they snatched all the three chickens that Liu kept for the New Year, and Liu begged bitterly, hoping to leave a chicken for the New Year.

But the Tartars didn't care about the life or death of the Han people, and the big man led by him cut off Liu's head with a knife, and then walked away.

Chen Xiao, who originally went out to collect medicine, returned home, but found that his dearest grandmother was so brutally killed, and cried bitterly for three days.

At that time, Chen Xiao swore a poisonous oath that he would fight with the Tartars until death in this life.

After half a year of planning, Chen Xiao finally found an opportunity, he sneaked into the camp where the Tartars were resting in the army alone, and cut off the heads of the four Tartars who had passed by Liujiazhuang in their sleep.

The revenge was finally avenged, Chen Xiao returned home, burned the head of the Tartar in front of his grandmother's grave, and left Youzhou.

Escaping the inspection of the border Tatars of Youzhou, Chen Xiao finally escaped into the territory of the Song people, along the way Chen Xiao drank dew, ate wild fruits, and stopped and stopped, but he bypassed the border of Cangzhou and walked to Qingzhou.

Since then, Chen Xiao has settled in Qingzhou, working part-time jobs during the day, and sleeping in the broken temple at night.

These partners are also very young, the oldest is only fourteen years old, they are all Qingzhou locals, but they are either abandoned, or there is an accident in the family and there is no father.

Chen Xiao is the oldest among them, and he takes care of them everywhere on weekdays, so these partners treat him like a big brother, and later, the eight of them swore in the broken temple that they would become brothers in this life and share weal and woe.

A few months ago, when Chen Xiao was going out, he suddenly found that there were a lot of strange people coming to Qingzhou, and there were also a lot of strange steel monsters.

Next, those people demolished all the urban areas in the north of Qingzhou City, and those whose houses were demolished received a large amount of compensation called compensation for each family, and this matter did not cause any turmoil.

What happened next was like a miracle.

The steel monsters entered the city and began to build buildings in the north of the city.

And it doesn't stop working at night, there is a kind of magical thing there, it can emit a huge light at night, and the north of Qingzhou City is almost the same every day.

The huge and smooth marble square, then the towering tent-like dome, and countless shop fronts, all these things Chen Xiao had never even seen before.

Since then, more and more people have come to Qingzhou, and Chen Xiao keenly found that those who came to Qingzhou were some nearby merchants.

When those merchants came, most of them would bring large bags and small bags of various boxes, and the business of the local porter was suddenly several times better, and there were all kinds of goods that needed to be consigned every day.

After Chen Xiao found a business opportunity, he really took his brothers and began to help others transport goods.

Chen Xiao also took his seven younger brothers and sisters to a restaurant for the first time to eat a table of good food, but the good times did not last long, and soon, some unemployed vagrants in the city noticed the popularity of the porter industry and joined one after another.

Although those nomads were not very strong, they were at least in their twenties and more physically mature, and when they joined the porter market, Chen Xiao and his brothers suddenly lost their market competitiveness.

After all, for the same price, the merchant is not a fool, and it is reliable to hire a group of children, of course, not to hire an adult.

In this way, Chen Xiao could only take his group of friends to wander around the economic development zone all day long, hoping to find a businessman who was willing to hire them and give them a full meal.

But after the nearby merchants gradually came, there were no more merchants coming, and Chen Xiao's business as porters was getting worse and worse, and even in the end, they hadn't received an order for three days.

Seeing that the only remaining copper coins in his hand were about to be spent, Chen Xiao was also anxious, he didn't want to continue to take his younger brothers and sisters to the mountains to gouge, and then drink dew and find wild fruits to eat.

But as there are more and more porters, they have no choice but to watch as people snatch their business away....

.........

"That, Chen Xiao, you go to the old Li wood carving shop in the north of the street now to get the plaque of our store, it's been three days, it should be carved too, after you get it back, let Xiaosi help you hang the door plaque at the door of our store."

A human voice pulled Chen Xiao back from his thoughts, and it was none other than Su Tongwen, the boss who hired them four days ago.

In fact, Chen Xiao has great respect for his new boss, he not only saved him, but also saved his younger brothers and sisters, hired eight of them at a time, not only to give food, but also to pay wages, as a sixteen-year-old boy who has been warmed by human affection, Chen Xiao knows that this kind of kindness is not easy to come by, so he is also secretly determined in his heart that he will do his best to help Boss Su make his business bigger...

Lao Li Wood Carving Store is actually not far from Sujia Cloth Shop, through the commercial street, less than two hundred steps, Chen Xiao came to the front of Lao Li Wood Carving Shop's shop.

"Carpenter Li, has my husband carved the plaque of the Su family cloth shop three days ago, my husband is going to use it." Chen Xiao shouted at the store.

I saw a middle-aged man dressed in carpenter's costume walking out of the back hall, holding a plaque in his hand and saying, "I already knew that I was going to urge, oh, the plaque is here." ”

Chen Xiao grinned, "Thank you." Then he took the plaque, held it in his arms, and trotted all the way back.

When he arrived at the door of the store, Chen Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Sir, I got the plaque back." ”

"Well, yes, let me see." Su Tongwen, who was still sorting out the clothes and fabrics with the little four and five, rushed over when he heard the sound, Chen Xiao handed over the plaque, and saw that the plaque was painted with black paint around it, and the yellow four big characters of 'Su Family Cloth Line' in the middle were dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and the atmosphere was very great.

"Okay, hang up the plaque, even if our Su family cloth store is officially established today! Su Tongwen waved his hand and said proudly.....
