There are only three industries that can survive by going back and forth to this business road. The first industry was the carriage shop, which required tools to transport goods, and although some large families had their own horse-drawn carriages, the vast majority of people needed to hire horse-drawn carriages. Even if you have a carriage, you need rest and accommodation, so the business of the carriage shop will not be bad. In this way, the business of carriage and horse shops has become more and more here, and it has almost become a common phenomenon.

The second industry is restaurants and liquor stores. Although there is a place to eat in the carriage and horse shop, the food there is relatively simple, mainly to greet the coachman and his buddies. Some wealthy people or people who are picky about eating will feel that the food in the carriage and horse shop is too popular. So I like to go to a small restaurant to order food, and sometimes I need some wine and food. Although some restaurants and carriage shops also sell some alcohol privately, it is more authentic and you have to go to a liquor store to have it. Not only do the liquor stores have the official license to sell alcohol, but their wines are not only delicious but also diverse. People who can afford to buy alcohol don't care about some small money, and of course they like to go to liquor stores to buy authentic wine. Therefore, it has become a common phenomenon for businessmen to live in carriage and horse shops, eat in restaurants, and go to wine shops to drink.

The third profession is brothel. No matter where you are, as long as there are people who have a business, there will be no shortage of **. In ancient times, men rarely took their female dependents out to do business, which was not only inconvenient but also prone to problems. Single men do business outside the home, more or less need comfort and venting, so ** is absolutely indispensable. In addition, when talking about some businesses, not only do you need to go to the wine table, but you also need to have women around you to socialize. So on this business road, there are ** everywhere. **In terms of size and rank, it is divided into three categories, the first category is with official status**. They live in relatively large brothels, which are not only big business, but also officially licensed, without worrying about being disturbed by various forces. Not only can they sit and wait for business to come to their door, but they are also more versatile, accompanying wine, singing, dancing, and even some poetry and songs. However, their expenses are also relatively large, not only have to pay a large amount of "special industry management fees" to the yamen every month, but also give some "protection fees" to some local forces.

The second type is the "half-closed door", that is, the ** that picks up customers privately. Although they do not have official permission, they can also do business semi-openly in the local area. As long as they pay enough "protection money", some local forces will give them the opportunity to do business. These people are doing their own business, and because they need to rent their own houses, they need a large number of customers. For this reason, they sometimes go out to solicit customers, and some old customers will come to the door by themselves. In order not to delay their business, they always keep the door of their house half-closed and half-open, which gives them the nickname "half-hidden door". Because there is no official identity, they need to close their doors when they are inspected by official rounds or by senior officials. In any case, they are still professional **, relying on this to support the family.

The third category is temporary or temporary**. Some of these women were forced to do the business, some had no money and had to work for a few votes, and some did it for the cost of travel. Lao Xu once met this kind of woman, and had a short "dew relationship" with them. The carriage and horse shop has its own **, which are all some little girls who were bought or retained. The reason why the boss took them in was not only because of sympathy, but also because of the business of the carriage and horse shop. Originally, the carriage and horse shops did not do pimping business, but the competition in the industry was too fierce. In order to solicit business, in order to have his own business, the boss had to acquiesce to some "half-closed doors"** to come to the carriage and horse shop to do business. Later, the boss found out that it was not only more convenient to earn this money by himself, but also to have an extra profit. In this way, he intentionally or unintentionally took in some half-grown girls and raised them to be the ** of his own carriage and horse shop. Although Lao Xu is the son-in-law of the owner of the carriage and horse shop, he does not dare to touch these women. Because he was worried that his father-in-law and wife would know, it was also because he had no money in his hands. These women have become very realistic, even if the boss wants to go up, they need to prepare cash, otherwise even the boss will not give face. If Lao Xu wants to have a relationship with them, it is impossible to have enough money. But Lao Xu still had a few unforgettable loves, but now they are all in the past.

A woman who came here to look for her husband stayed in the carriage shop for several days. I don't know if she was cheated out of money or if she didn't have enough money, anyway, she didn't have the money to pay the bill. For this reason, she cried and begged her boss for a few days of rent relief, and at the same time allowed her to borrow money, write letters home, and send money. But the boss didn't agree, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that if this woman had a way to live at home, it would be impossible for her to come here alone to find her missing husband. Not only did the woman have almost no relatives left in the family, but it was also highly likely that the husband was dead. It is impossible for such a woman to pay the rent for no reason, and the only way is to sell her body. In this way, the woman made an agreement with the boss to do business in the carriage and horse shop, and the boss went out of the room to provide it to her. Lao Xu looked at her Keling, and secretly packed up some leftovers from the guests to her from time to time. She also gave her body to Lao Xu several times in vain, which can be regarded as a repayment to Lao Xu. But Lao Xu didn't tell anyone about it, and she didn't say it. Half a month later, the woman left, and she didn't even say hello to Lao Xu when she left. This woman didn't leave anything for Lao Xu, and Lao Xu didn't know what this woman's name was.

There is also a woman named Ah Hua, who is said to be the daughter of a businessman in a small northern place. Her father had been to sea many times, and he had long been ready to stop doing such dangerous things. But the plan couldn't keep up with the change, first of all, his son needed a lot of money to marry. Again, his wife is seriously ill and needs to be seen by a doctor. He had no choice but to go to sea again to do business, but he didn't expect his wife to die after he returned. After the funeral, there was a happy event with the child, and I was going to rest for a while, but I didn't expect my daughter's family affairs to come up. In order to prepare a dowry for his daughter, he had to set off again, and this time because there was no one at home to take care of his daughter, he brought his daughter who was about to get married. Unexpectedly, he did not go to sea when he encountered a group of robbers who had been eyeing him for a long time. As a result, he died, or was gone, and even his daughter was bullied. For unknown reasons, the robbers did not kill the girl, but threw her in the town like a piece of rubb. This girl had to do ** in order to survive, but she didn't plan to do it for a long time. As long as she has enough money to travel, she wants to go back to her hometown to live. Lao Xu saw her as lovely and often took care of her secretly, and she was willing to accompany Lao Xu for a few nights. But this woman didn't really want to live with Lao Xu, and she finally stole the private money that Lao Xu had secretly saved and left. Lao Xu didn't blame her, because he really couldn't give Ah Hua anything at that time, not even a name. However, Lao Xu still has a bloody handkerchief that Ah Hua didn't have time to take away when he left.

Alan is the most impressive one of Lao Xu**. She was originally a local girl, and a man who went to sea to do business and made a fortune bought her with money. This man knows the danger of going to sea, so he is ready to stop doing it and buy a wife to go home to be a big man. But Alain was unlucky, and on the way home, the man met a group of scammers, who cheated the man out of all his money. This is a truth, it is easy to make money, and money goes fast. The man had no money and had to go back and do his old job again, but he didn't expect that this time his luck was too bad, not only was his business gone, but even his old life was gone. Alain became a widow with a dead husband, and a widow who had no support and no way to live. Alan had to go home to his mother's family, but her mother's family couldn't take care of her all the time, so she had to find another man for Alain. Unexpectedly, Alain's bad luck not only found a husband who was incompetent, but also this person had a bad temper. Alain couldn't stand her husband's beating and scolding, so she had to leave the house secretly. Because Alain had no ability and couldn't go home, she had no choice but to start the industry. However, Alain has his own plans, and he will only work for a year at most. After a year, no matter how much money you make, you will find a man to remarry or start a small business by yourself, and you will definitely not live like this. Alain's fate did not improve, and the money he had saved up was cheated away by a little white face. Alain had to prepare to work for another year to save up capital and live on his own in the future. Alan, who had lost confidence in men, was really tempted after meeting a more honest old Xu. Alan suggested that Lao Xu leave here with her, leaving the father and daughter of the carriage and horse shop owner who was not good to Lao Xu. But Lao Xu hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to stay. Later, Alan had to leave alone, and Lao Xu never met Alan again. Lao Xu regretted it more than once, if he had known what happened later, Lao Xu would definitely agree to Alan and leave with Alain. But there is no place to buy regret medicine in the world, so Lao Xu had to reminisce about this woman in private.
