Chapter 6: Strike while the iron is hot

Ye Xiao was a doctor in his previous life, but God let him live again, if he was just a doctor, and then died of overwork...... That's too sorry for God!

"The immediate priority is to get a little start-up capital!" Ye Xiao thought.

A little husband can't be without money for a day, a big husband can't be without power for a day, Ye Xiao has never thought about being a big husband or a little husband, but he knows that as a man, he should never lose the goal he once struggled for.

His current goal is very simple, to make the first pot of gold first, and change everyone's opinion of him in the Guan Mansion. And then...... Leaving the Guanfu in a beautiful way.

Even if you have a lot of ways to make money in your mind, you also need to have a start-up capital. There is an old saying in my previous life that if you have money, you can travel all over the world, but you can't move an inch without money.

But even if there is no money, it is only relative. As the uncle of the Guan Mansion, how can he go out without any money?

It's just that I came out too early, and I didn't even have time to eat breakfast. 、

In this era, the medical conditions are backward, and the dietary conditions are certainly not as good as the modern society that Ye Xiao is familiar with. There are no fritters and buns for breakfast, and those that can wrap their stomachs are just wheat cakes.

It's just that the wheat cake is really hard to swallow, and after eating two bites, Ye Xiao rolled his eyes.

"Well, in addition to doing real estate, the catering industry, maybe you can also consider ......"

Ye Xiao continued to wander around the city while eating.

Not far away, there was a shop with the guise of "Wang Family Blacksmith", Ye Xiao slowly approached the blacksmith shop, hesitated for a moment, and finally arrived at the door.

As a doctor, no matter how much Ye Xiao wants to make money, he doesn't want to lose his profession. When I saw the blacksmith shop, I wanted to go in and make a set of surgical knives.

When Ye Xiao approached the blacksmith shop, he frowned slightly.

It's not like a blacksmith shop.

Strike while the iron is hot, it is too cold to eat cucumber vegetables here, and you can't see anyone at a glance, Ye Xiao still tried to call, "Do you want someone to make something." ”

He called out, and stood there, looking at the girl standing up behind the furnace.

The girl was coarse and linen, without powder, and looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old, because of her poverty, her face was slightly sallow, and her body was thin, but her eyes were very black and white, which brought spirituality to her whole face.

It's just that the black and white eyes are covered with a layer of tears, and the eyelids are slightly red and swollen, as if she has just cried, when she saw Ye Xiao, the girl was also stunned, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

"The girl is the blacksmith of this shop?" Ye Xiao hesitated.

Of course he didn't believe this, if he wanted to say that this girl could wield a sledgehammer of dozens of catties, he wouldn't believe it, but seeing the girl's sadness, Ye Xiao couldn't help but make a joke.

He loves to see people laughing.

The girl seemed to want to smile, but tears flowed down, and she whispered: "I'm not, my eldest brother is, I'm bringing food to my eldest brother." ”

"Where's your eldest brother?" Ye Xiao smiled.

He didn't ask, but when he asked the girl to cry like rain, and didn't want strangers to see her tears, the girl squatted down and hugged her shoulders with her hands, and shrugged and sobbed.

After a long time, the girl didn't hear Ye Xiao's movements, she just thought that he had left, and slowly looked up and found that Ye Xiao was still standing in place and not moving.

"You...... Why aren't you leaving? The girl choked up.

"I'm going to get something." Ye Xiao smiled.

The girl Huo Ran stood up and shouted: "Don't strike iron, no one will strike iron, Wangjiatie is paved." ”

As she spoke, tears couldn't help but flow down her face.

As soon as the words came out, the girl felt a little uneasy in her heart, she shouldn't have yelled at a stranger, but she didn't know what else to do besides shouting

Thinking of Wang Jiatie paving these words, her heart was like a knife, she thought that the young man would either respond angrily or turn away, but she didn't want the young man to just smile and say softly: "What's wrong with your eldest brother?" Don't worry, let's think of a way together."

The girl's heart was shocked, and she looked at Ye Xiao through tears, with an unprecedented powerlessness and desperate expectations, "What did you say?" ”

The girl was desperate, but she never thought that a stranger she met for the first time was not dissatisfied with her rudeness, but meant to help her.

There was some hope in her heart, but more of it was despair, seeing that Ye Xiao was just quietly waiting for her answer, the girl finally paused weakly again, and muttered: "It's useless, no one can persuade my eldest brother." He was hopeless. ”

Ye Xiao smiled, walked over slowly, sat down next to the furnace in the blacksmith shop, reached out and touched the furnace, it was cold. Seeing that the girl was just squatting there in despair, Ye Xiao asked, "What's your eldest brother's name?" ”

"King's sledgehammer." The girl replied.

"What about you," Ye Xiao asked again.

The girl paused, looked up at Ye Xiao, didn't see the slightest hint of abuse in it, and said in a low voice: "My name is Lotus." ”

"This blacksmith shop was handed down by your father," Ye Xiao said unhurriedly.

Lotus said "um", bit her lip and said, "It's been a while since my father passed away. ”

"Your eldest brother's blacksmithing skills don't look very good." Ye Xiao glanced at some simple farm tools around him.

"You"

Lotus Huo Ran stood up and glared at Ye Xiao angrily, obviously not liking to hear this sentence, but seeing that Ye Xiao was still looking at her with a smile, there was no ridicule in his smile, and said dejectedly: "Everyone here says so." When my father was there, the eldest brother just wanted to do something vigorous, and never thought of striking iron. ”

"But after Ling Zun passed away, there was no livelihood in the family, and your eldest brother didn't do anything big, so he had to return to the blacksmith shop?" Ye Xiao asked rhetorically.

Lianhua glanced at Ye Xiao in surprise, thinking how do you know

Ye Xiao is not strange at all, there is nothing new under the sun, no matter in ancient or modern times, many things seem to be nothing more than that, with great ambitions and a disgraced turn.

The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

"You have a younger brother?" Ye Xiao continued to ask.

Lotus was even more surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you, and how do you know about my family?" ”

"Guess."

Ye Xiao smiled dumbly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the woodcarved tiger and the bamboo knife placed on the board, "Isn't this your brother and sister playing?" Boys play with these things. ”

Lotus was amazed at the young man's observations.

Ye Xiao was originally from a medical family, and he was trained to look and smell since he was a child, and it has become Ye Xiao's habit to observe the environment first wherever he goes.

"The younger brother's name is Tiger Head, and he wants to study." Lotus said.

"Your eldest brother went back to the blacksmith shop again for the sake of his younger brother's study?" Ye Xiao groaned.

Lotus's eyes turned red, "Yes, the family relies on him to support him, and I worked hard to save some tuition for my younger brother, but"

Tears flowed down again, and Lotus sobbed: "This money was taken away by the eldest brother, and the iron is not beaten, he must ...... Must have gambled again! ”

She said that she was sad and desperate here, if the family still works hard, no matter how hard and tired they are, there is always hope, but a family that has lost hope, what can it expect

Ye Xiao sighed, and didn't wait for anything more, he heard a loud bang on the door of the blacksmith shop, and a man broke in.

"Big brother." Lotus exclaimed, "Where did you get the money?" ”

Of course, the young man was Wang Dazhui, and as soon as he saw Lotus in the shop, he immediately said, "Lotus, let's go quickly." As soon as he grabbed his sister and rushed out, Lotus broke free and said, "Where are you going?" The stove didn't catch fire today, and I didn't make a penny, so go back and drink the northwest wind? ”

"Don't care about these ......" Wang Dazhui was a little flustered, and said urgently: "What about the little brother?" Are you still listening to Mr. Xun's? Take me to him. ”

"You're losing again, aren't you?" Lianhua knew the whole thing about this big brother, gritted her teeth and said, "How much did you lose?" ”

Wang Dazhui didn't wait for an answer, but he heard a strange person outside the shop say strangely: "This time he loses, even if he sells the blacksmith shop, he can't repay the debt." ”

Lotus was shocked, and when Wang Dazhui heard the voice, his body shook, and he slowly let go of his sister, but he clenched his fists.
