Chapter 29: Bamboo Cane and Copper Coins
In the next day, Ye Yu personally bought this piece of land from Zhou Laoer. For this piece of land that is like chicken ribs, Zhou Lao Er naturally wants to sell it.
Since someone was willing to buy it, Zhou Lao Er happily sold it to Ye Yu at a low price. After Zhou Lao Er handed over the land deed, he secretly ridiculed Ye Yu in his heart, thinking that Ye Yu was buying land to find guilt!
This controversial piece of land, because Ye Yu bought it personally, attracted a lot of people who looked at right and wrong.
Everyone knows that Ye Yu's dyeing workshop is going to build a site in Toad Pond, and as the rival of the cloth business, the Pan family will naturally not let Ye Yu be happy.
Therefore, this hot potato is now purchased by Ye Yu, and whether the two are in feng shui or business, a friction and fight is inevitable.
In the living room, Su Quanzhong looked at Ye Yu with some anxiety, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Virtuous nephew, the old man has already explained to you the stakes before, why do you have to take this hot potato?" ”
"Yes, Brother Yu, why do you have to buy that toad pond, anyway, the county is not small, and then choose a new piece of land!" Su Yueyun, who was standing on the side, was also very puzzled by Ye Yu's decision.
Because the two families were very close, Su Yueyun directly called him Brother Yu after the relationship became familiar. Although Ye Yu asked to call him Mr. many times, he couldn't resist Su Yueyun's persistence.
After that, Ye Yu felt that the two were of similar age, so he obeyed Su Yueyun's meaning.
Regarding the dissatisfaction of the Su family's father and daughter, Ye Yu did not take it to heart, but explained in a deep voice: "Having said that, Uncle Su, you have also seen that it is urgent to expand the dyeing workshop just after the New Year.
Although the dyeing workshop you gave at the beginning is fully equipped, after all, the scale is too small to be in demand! What Yue Yun said just now is feasible, but the location selection is not child's play, and it will take a lot of time to choose again! Don't hide it, the little nephew can't afford to wait! ”
"But how do you start building this land when you buy it? Can the second master of the Pan family let you get your wish? ”
Although Su Quanzhong agreed with Ye Yu's opinion, the fundamental problem of this matter had not been solved, and he still had lingering palpitations and could not let go.
"Huh! Uncle Su doesn't have to be anxious, since the little nephew can buy this piece of land, there is a way to start building a dyeing workshop! ”
Su Quanzhong looked at Ye Yu with a confident look, and his heart was a little more relaxed. Since Ye Yu was not on a whim, he was also relieved.
Although he didn't know what Ye Yu would do, after more than half a year of contact, he already had a deep understanding of Ye Yu's temperament to plan and then move.
At this moment, Uncle Sun, the housekeeper, walked in quickly: "Young master, there is news from Toad Pond that the things you arranged have been completed!" ”
"Hmmm! Uncle Sun, you are old, you don't have to be so anxious in the future! Ye Yu looked at Uncle Sun, who was over sixty years old and was already full of silver hair, and persuaded with concern.
Uncle Sun's gray beard trembled slightly, and then he said a little excitedly: "Seeing that the young master is thriving in his career now, the old grandson is happy!" I'm afraid that the pace will slow down and delay the young master's big event, and the old man used to complain that the old grandson's head and legs were not good......"
"Uncle Sun, you are my elder, you don't have to have many rules! Alright, go down and rest! ”
Ye Yu knew that this was an era of distinction between dignity and inferiority, but he was influenced by the concept of equality in later generations, and it was difficult for him to adapt to it all at once.
He is like this to Liu Yuanshan, who is the county lieutenant, and even more so to Uncle Sun in front of him. Let him look at a gray-haired old man, snorting and drinking like a slave, this he Ye Yu can't do.
After Uncle Sun went down, Ye Yu arched his hand at Su Quanzhong and said, "Uncle Su, today is a good day to fill in the soil and Pingtang, why don't you go and take a look with your little nephew?" ”
"But ......"
Su Quanzhong wanted to say something, but at this time, Ye Yu called Guo Xiaotian and pushed the wheelchair out of the hall.
Su Quanzhong didn't know what medicine was sold in Ye Yu's gourd, so he could only follow him.
……
At this time, a lot of people had gathered by the toad pond, among them, in addition to some onlookers, it was some of Pan Chengfeng's family members and a group of She Dongcheng's brothers.
However, these people under She Dongcheng are no longer bullying men and women, but are re-engaged under the leadership of She Dongcheng.
Originally, everyone was very optimistic about this group of people, because everyone firmly believed in the truth that the country is easy to change and its nature is difficult to change. But in Ye Yu's view, although this creed is very reasonable, it is not absolute.
Although these people are good and bad, except for a few who are despicable by nature, most of them are forced by life. Although Ye Yu is not mixed in the market, it is not outdated to compare with the mentality of later generations.
If you have a happy and prosperous life, who wants to be a ruffian that everyone spits on? Especially in this ancient era that believed in karma, most people would not commit evil for no reason.
Now that Ye Yu has given them the opportunity, not only do they have money to support themselves, but they also have a stable job to make a living and become a new person, they are naturally willing to change their ways.
"Boss, do you think there will be a fight today?" The yellow-faced man on the side approached She Dongcheng and asked.
She Dongcheng hadn't spoken yet, and the fat-faced man behind him clasped his hands to his chest, and said with disdain: "What, rhubarb, are you afraid?" Then get out of here! ”
"Hey! I said fatty, you can't spit out ivory with your dog's mouth, why don't you have a human word!? ”
The fat man came to the yellow-faced man step by step, pushed Rhubarb with his elbow, pursed his lips and mocked: "Your nickname is Rhubarb, this is the name of a dog!" This dog's mouth should grow on your face, whether you spit out ivory or not, you don't know? ”
"You! ......" Rhubarb was pushed by the fat man's elbow and almost fell to the ground. After listening to the fat man's ridicule, his yellowed face turned even more angry.
"Enough! Have you had enough of the noise? She Dongcheng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, turned around and shouted to the two of them in a loud voice.
"Boss ......"
"Boss ......"
The fat man and rhubarb were all shocked, and immediately stopped the noise.
She Dongcheng glared at the two of them coldly, and then said in a low voice: "To fight or not, wait for the owner to come and arrange it freely!" When is it your turn to be noisy? ”
"Boss, that Ye Yu is only seventeen years old, you are four years older than him, you are willing to submit to ......"
Syllable!
Before Rhubarb finished speaking, he suddenly felt a wind in his ears, followed by a crisp sound on his face. Only then did Rhubarb feel a hot pain in the left side of his face, so he covered the painful left side of his face and looked at She Dongcheng in horror.
"Is your eldest brother her name calling her? How many times do I have to say it before you understand that what is mixed in the Tao is about courage and righteousness, and has nothing to do with seniority!
He repays grievances with virtue regardless of his previous suspicions, does not discriminate against us and entrusts us with important responsibilities, I sincerely admire this open-mindedness! Next time, if I hear your disrespectful words again, don't blame me for being merciless! ”
She Dongcheng's stern reprimand made Rhubarb nod again and again, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word more.
Although the fat man on the side loved to quarrel with rhubarb, he opened his mouth to persuade at this time: "Boss, rhubarb is also a quick mouth, don't take it to heart."
By the way, Chief, the owner sent us to bring so many stones, I can understand that the fat man is needed to fill in the toad pond. But let's invite two steamed bun shop masters and guys, I don't understand this fat man! ”
The fat man said and pointed to the pile of steamers under the tree, and continued with a puzzled face: "Now that the people and utensils for making steamed buns are complete, could it be that the owner wants to open a steamed bun shop here?" ”
"Alright, don't ask! Just do things with peace of mind! Although She Dongcheng was also puzzled in his heart, but after these days of getting along, he believed that Ye Yu would not be untargeted.
“……”
Just when people were shouting, Ye Yu had already arrived at Toad Pond in a wheelchair. The onlookers also consciously made a way, and She Dongcheng saw that Ye Yu had arrived, so he hurried up to meet him.
first gave a salute to Ye Yu, and then bowed to Guo Xiaotian, and the master and apprentice greeted each other.
Ye Yu nodded, then looked around and whispered, "Dong Cheng, you did a good job!" ”
"It should be! Big brother, don't worry, as long as you give an order, the evil slaves of the Pan family on the opposite side will be handed over to a younger brother to deal with! She Dongcheng patted his chest and said confidently.
"Huh! It doesn't have to be like this, today is the day when my dyeing workshop breaks ground, and it is not appropriate to make a big move! But there is really one thing, I have to bother Brother Dong Cheng! ”
As he spoke, Ye Yu took out five bamboo canes from Guo Xiaotian's hand, and a copper coin was tied to the bamboo cane with a thread. She Dongcheng looked at the five bamboo canes tied with ropes, and said in his heart, "Is the eldest brother going to fish here today?"
It's too relaxing, isn't it? Just when he was puzzled, Ye Yu spoke: "Dong Cheng, select five brothers to insert these five bamboo canes into the water according to the positions on this drawing!" ”
Then Ye Yu took out a drawing from his sleeve and handed it to She Dongcheng, She Dongcheng took the drawing and took a look, it turned out that the graphic presentation was a 'Tian' character.
However, in the center of the character 'Tian' and in the center of the four mouths that are separated, a total of five dots are pointed. When She Dongcheng saw these five evenly distributed and equally spaced dots, he knew that these were the five directions that Ye Yu said.
Because although the shape of this toad pond is not very neat, the overall shape is like a square.
"Big brother, don't worry! The little brother will definitely get this done! Just now, I thought ......" She Dongcheng said this, and he actually showed a look of shame.
Ye Yu saw She Dongcheng looking like this, so he smiled and quipped: "Do you think I have nothing to do, and I came to fish?" Dong Cheng, it's not a fish that is dropped with copper coins, then I'm afraid the fishing is the legendary Tubao Golden Toad! ”
She Dongcheng then laughed dryly, turned around and ordered the matter.
However, this strange move immediately attracted a lot of discussion among the onlookers, because they didn't understand what Ye Yu's intentions were.
Even Su Quanzhong's father and daughter, who followed, were confused by Ye Yu's move.
