Chapter 34: The Mountain Bandit and the Butcher
Glancing at the hall, he made a gesture of "shhhh
Sun Da immediately nodded.
Sun Da carried the four sacks into the firewood room, and carefully instructed Sun Er, no one can open them, and they must be kept alive: "You'd better put them in your arms." ”
Sun Er hurriedly pushed it away: "Big, big brother, this smell of and urine, want, you want to smoke me to death!" ”
The bag was placed in front of Sun Er, and he was lying on the ground, and he couldn't push the one hundred and eighty catties for a while, so he had to grab the hay and cover it, turn over, and cover the pile of things.
Waiting for the three of them to fill their stomachs, she beckoned a few people to the courtyard.
In the afternoon, it was overcast.
It seems to be more lively outside, with the sound of firecrackers from time to time, mixed with the laughter of children, which is really like the New Year.
Inside the courtyard of the Sun family.
Under the crooked-necked tree in the courtyard, some people stood against the corner of the wall and broke their fingers, and some people sat casually playing with their toes.
She went back to the house and brought herself a low stool.
Sun Xiaohou hung on the tree: "Auntie, what story do you want to tell us?" ”
"Call your second brother."
"Okay!" Sun Xiaohou jumped down, ran into the firewood room, and helped Sun Er to limp out.
Yerba came out at this time, holding a jar in her hand.
Sun Er didn't need to be supported, he ran to help hold the jar, he put the jar under the tree, and Fangcao asked him to bring the bowl.
Let a few people sit down.
Sun Da, Sun Er and the other two brothers, the four of them sat on one side, after the last Wangjiazhai incident, one brother took the initiative to leave, plus Sun Xiaohou, there were only five people left in the Sun family.
After Sun Xiaohou and Fangcao shared a bowl of sour plum soup for each person, they sat on the other side.
She sat in front of a few people, cleared her throat first, and then said: "It's not a story, let's have a meeting, the atmosphere can be lively, but you must keep it serious!" ”
"Is that serious or lively?" Sun Xiaohou asked.
"Raise your hand before you speak."
Sun Xiaohou raised his hand high: "I! I raised my hand! Can I speak? ”
A wall on the chest.
I really don't know how elementary school teachers usually teach this kind of child.
She straightened her face: "Put your hand down, don't speak for the time being." ”
"That...... Can I participate? ”
Xiao Luzi kept raising his hands and stood behind Sun Da and the others.
"You sit next to the little monkey."
As soon as Xiao Luzi sat down, Li Yan and Yue Feng walked out of the house, but they didn't get close, and looked at the excitement from a distance, as if they were ready to watch a good show.
"Ahem!" He cleared his throat again.
"Boss Sun, let me ask you, have you thought about your future plans?"
"Auntie, don't worry, I must wait until the house is repaired, and then use a sedan chair to marry my younger siblings."
The corners of her mouth twitched: "I mean, your career plan, do you want to continue to be a bandit?" ”
"This ...... I ......"
didn't rush him, but he still stumbled for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”
"How about letting me break it down for you?"
"As a mountain bandit, you don't do a good job, you don't have a harvest, only if you do a good job, you can eat and drink spicy food, right?"
"But if you do a good job, the business is prosperous, either you have a few big votes, or you don't have a lot of harvest every time, but there is always a harvest, isn't it?"
"Suppose you rob a small businessman, and that person is robbed, although he can't tell the bitterness, and he doesn't lose his life left and right, he will forget it. If you put on that kind of big order, one order is enough to eat for a year, and those people are robbed, what will they do? Report to the official, or find someone to snatch it back? Suppose you have a lot of people and enough knives and sticks, and you fight against each other and get away with it, will you continue the same thing on the same mountain? ”
"It's called high returns with high risks."
"In addition to passing merchants, think about it, what kind of image do you have in the eyes of ordinary people in Nanxun? Do they think you are kind, honest, hardworking, or fierce, murderous and unblinking? ”
Even if it is the theory that human nature is evil, how many people in the world like others to see themselves, just like a mouse when they see a cat, they are scared and trembling? Whoever likes others has not yet understood himself, and thinks that he is a negative image, although the Sun family is just letting the goods be robbed in the training.
Sun Xiaohou also said that his grandfather said that until the last resort, you must not hurt anyone.
She asked Sun Xiaohou: "What will you do when you see a person who gives out meat buns for free?" ”
"Definitely running over! Hehe, ask him if he can give me a big meat bun that doesn't cost money! ”
She asked Xiao Luzi again: "Did you see a mountain bandit?" He had no weapons, no knives, no clubs. ”
Xiao Luzi looked at the few people next door, and said with a boo: "Run...... The farther you run, the better. ”
The little monkey laughed a few times: "You didn't have a big knife, why are you running?" ”
Xiao Luzi asked him rhetorically: "When you see the officer, don't arrest you, catch your eldest brother and second brother's officer, can you run away?" ”
The little monkey pouted angrily, but he couldn't speak.
Seeing that a few people were silent, she drank half a bowl of sour plum soup before continuing: "I'll tell you a story." ”
"There is a person, Lao Wang, he is a butcher, there is a butcher shop at home, and the business was originally good, but soon two new butcher shops were opened in the town, do you think Lao Wang's business will be the same as before?"
Sun Er raised his hand: "No, it's different." ”
"What's the difference?"
"Before, yes, yes, one butcher shop, now there are three, and there are fewer people who go to him to buy meat."
"You're right, the total amount of meat needed every day in the town is about the same, and if there are more butcher shops, there may be fewer people who go to Lao Wang's house to buy meat, and he will naturally earn less."
Xiao Luzi asked: "What does the total amount mean?" ”
"Let's take a chestnut, let's say, it's just the three of you in town."
"If you earn 100 yuan a month, then you may go to the butcher shop once a month, the little monkey earns 500 yuan a month, and he likes to eat meat, he may go to the butcher shop three or five times a month, and Fangcao can earn 1,000 yuan a month, then she can go every day."
"If there is no significant change in income, and there are no other special circumstances, such as when you need money urgently, the number of butchers each of you goes to each month is about the same?"
She smiled and continued, "The story continues. Lao Wang gave birth to a son, and when the son was older, he taught his son to slaughter sheep and pigs, but ...... Xiao Wang resolutely did not want to learn the art of slaughtering, and in a fit of anger, Lao Wang beat Xiao Wang hard, and Xiao Wang simply ran away. ”
"Xiao Wang doesn't work as a butcher, what can he do?"
"Xiao Wang is gone for ten years."
"Ten years later, Xiao Wang returned to the town, with his wife by his side, and seemed to be doing well."
The little monkey interjected: "Did Xiao Wang go to the town next door to sell meat?" ”
"If you don't like to do one thing so much, and you'd rather turn your face with your loved ones than do one thing, change places, are you willing to do it? If you don't like to do it, can you really do it well? ”
Speaking of this, she noticed Li Yan's gaze.
Retracted his gaze and continued: "It turns out that Lao Wang's house is next door to the carpenter's house, and when he is young, Xiao Wang loves to drill into the carpenter's house, and he likes to do carpenter work very much. After leaving the town, he went to another place to apprentice carpenters, and later became his own master and took in other apprentices. ”
And at this time, the sound of Yue Feng came out coldly.
"Everyone is like Xiao Wang, do whatever they want, don't do what they say, leave if they want to, and there must be no chaos in the world?"
