Chapter 18: The Darkest Ages in History
Li Zekai has a lady in the main house, three concubines, and a bunch of melon babies, anyway, the table is packed, of course, Du San, who stayed behind, is not qualified to serve on the table.
What gave Lu Wang a headache was that he didn't stop when he was eating, and he kept asking questions, especially Li Zekai kept asking him what else he had to do, if he could bring him more cigarettes next time, just plain, keep this good cigarette in his hand and pretend to smoke outside, it doesn't matter if he is at home, Hongta Mountain!
And the women and concubines of the Li family kept chattering that the soap was very useful, it was good to wash hands and faces, and the laundry, just soak it and rub it casually, and there was no need to knock it with a mallet, it was too convenient!
Lu Wang smiled, he told Li Zekai that as long as the old man helped me, the cigarettes would not be out of stock, and said to the women of the Li family that soap can be used by men to wash their faces, but women's faces are to be maintained, there is a special set, and they must be brought to try next time, which can make several women happy.
Of course, Li Zekai was also very excited, patted his chest and said: "Lu Wang, if you have anything you need my help with, I will definitely help you move, I still have something to do with it in Jinhua City!" β
"The little one thanked Master Li first, but there is really something wrong, that is, I am going to hold a bigger luxury auction in ten days, can Master Li help me make it bigger, make a publicity in the city, and then gather here with you, let's have a grand event, of course, Master Li, you can rest assured that I have used your land, and I will not treat you badly if I lose your favor, and the Jedi will give you a heavy gift!"
"It's not difficult, and I don't think there's any need to do any big publicity, I think that in a few days, these things you brought today will spread to every corner of Jinhua, and I will naturally come when they are interested! But if you want anything or silver, I'll give them a greeting in advance! "Li Zekai is a businessman, and he knows all about this.
"I want silver and objects, but the best objects are some years old, preferably porcelain and calligraphy and paintings, my old lady likes those things!" Lou Wan smiled.
After the family banquet was over, Lu Wang and Li Zekai sat in the hall to enjoy the cool and chat, "Lu Wang, why do you say this thing is called a cigarette?" Li Zekai looked at the half-cut cigarette butt burning between his fingers and asked
"Master Li, don't you think this thing tastes much more fragrant than your old smoking gun, what else does the old smoking gun have besides a choking smell? This is not the same, taste it slowly, it is fragrant! Lu Wang explained with a smile, and spit out a smoke ring, and Li Zekai, who watched it, was stunned, he could still play like this.
"That's right, this thing tastes a hundred times stronger than the old cigarette pouch, and the most important thing is that you said that the poison has been filtered out, which is beneficial and harmless to the body!" Li Zekai kept trying to spit out smoke rings, but it always ended in failure!
"Master Li, this thing actually has another name, it's called Fairy Smoke!" Rwann began to pull the calf
"Fairy smoke? Could it be that there is no way to say it? Li Zekai was interested, listened very attentively, and when he turned around, he could brag to his old friends!
"Because no matter what you do, you will be fluttering after smoking a cigarette, so there is, what kind of cigarette after a meal is a living immortal, etc., to tell you, oh, smoke one after that, it's even more immortal!" Lu Wang's smile was a little obscene, but he didn't expect Li Zekai to be more obscene than him, "Hehe, I can't hide it, I tried it once last night, it's really cool, hey, but I'm old, I can't compare to my little brother, I'm always powerless!" β
"This is easy to do, my family has an ancestral magic medicine, the golden gun does not pour pills, I will get a taste for Master Li when I go back?" Lu Wang suddenly found another best-selling product, as long as people in this year have a little net worth who does not have three wives and four concubines, Viagra definitely has a big market! Sure enough, when Li Zekai heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, "If there is really this magic medicine, now the charlatans are much older, and I can't hide it, my brother has been deceived several times."
"Master Li......" Lu Wang was immediately reprimanded by Li Zekai as soon as he opened his mouth, "Brother Lu, you and I fell in love at first sight, although I am much older than you, if I call you a good nephew, it still seems unfamiliar, if we are brothers, how about it, don't call me any more Master Li, if you look at me, call me brother!" β
"Brother Li is not good like this", Lu Wang didn't feel anything bad at all, he opened his mouth and came, Li Zekai was very happy, "That's right, Brother Lu, hey, the medicine you just said is really there?" "The mind of the emotion is still here
"Brother, do you think I look like a cheater? In this case, I'll get you one first, and you can try the effect, if it's okay, we'll talk, if it doesn't work, how about I let out a fart? β
"Very good, very good!" Li Zekai's mouth grinned to the root of his ears.
Lu Wang's leg was about to break, and he put one hand on Du San's shoulder and kept complaining, "I said three, don't you just find a tooth to help us buy a house, you have to find a buyer yourself!" β
Du San wiped the big man on his head, "Brother Lu, you have to give money to find teeth, a tael of silver, didn't you say that it is not easy to make money, and there are not a few left of the money earned from selling the baby last night back to the family!" β
"Well, okay, but hurry up and find a home to buy one, three, I'll go back in a few days, you have to clean up at home, we have no money now, no one has no place, let's work hard, wait for the house to be bought, I'll build a few shops, how about letting you be the big shopkeeper?"
Du San suddenly squatted down, picked up Lu Wang and ran wildly, "Brother Lu, this is what you say, you are not allowed to regret it!" β
The sky was very dark, the yard was very desolate, Lu Wang and Du San pulled a board station in the small courtyard and felt panicked, although the brothers were sweating just now from Li Zekai's house to pull those plates and bowls, but this afternoon just spent 50 taels of silver to buy the desolate atmosphere in the small courtyard or the sweat on the brothers' bodies immediately frozen.
"Lu, Brother Lu, you say, will there be ghosts?" Du San held a candle in his hand and shook it, holding Lu Wang's sleeve with one hand and shaking non-stop.
"There's a ghost, there's a fart...... Hell yes! "Lu Wang was still right, but suddenly it occurred to him that he had to travel back and forth, what else was impossible in these years!" Also, maybe there is, but we didn't do anything bad, hurry up and put things away, let's go back to the inn tonight to sleep, and I'm here tomorrow to clean up! β
Today is a good weather, Lu Wang and Du San got up early in the morning to the city gate with a few steamed buns and hired three people to clean the yard, this is a set of two courtyards, each courtyard only has a set of three main houses without home remedies, the houses are also dilapidated, not to mention the inside!
"Three, go to the street and find a few masons to repair the house, I have to go home tomorrow, I will see a clean and tidy home when I come back, if you can't do it, I will fire you when you come back!" Lu Wang stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched a few laborers working, casually commanding Du San beside him
Du San nodded, "Okay, but you come back later, don't come back sneaky like last time, it will scare people to death."
Lu Wang smiled embarrassedly, and then began to wonder in his heart, no, every time he goes back to wear the place, although they are all in the same city, they are roughly in the same area, for example, the place where he wears back to Shenyang is near the construction site, and the place in Jinhua is around the city wall, but he wore it back from the restaurant dormitory that night, how can he come back but the position remains the same, this is for Mao! Could it be that after wearing it a few times, practice makes perfect, and the positioning is more accurate? But it seems that I don't know what positioning is not positioned! I really can't figure it out!
Du San is busy, he is now fully adapted to the new job, his first task is to go to the mason, according to Lu Wang's instructions to renovate the house in the back yard, strengthen the house in the front yard, and push to the front door courtyard wall to build three faΓ§ade houses.
As for Lu Wan looking up at the sky, the time is still early, although there is nothing to do now, but the time train has not arrived, want to go back and wait, simply go to the street to walk, last time I came in a hurry to go, experience embarrassment, this time the waist bag is bulging and do not worry about eating, not worrying about drinking, shopping in good weather, how comfortable it is to take pictures, yes, take pictures, great, Lao Tzu's mobile phone also brought, thinking of this, the excited Lu Wang quickly took out his mobile phone from his backpack, sure enough, there is no signal, but the photo and video function is not limited at all, cool!
Wearing short sleeves, shorts, sneakers, carrying a backpack, holding the apple 5s he bought in his heart, walking on the streets of Jinhua City in the Ming Dynasty while strolling and taking pictures, this feeling is really wonderful, like the feeling of traveling through time and space, no, it is time travel! Although the pedestrians around him looked the same and pointed at him!
"Uncle, give me something to eat, the child hasn't eaten for three days, please ask grandpa to give me something to eat!" A woman in front of a bun shop in front of Lu Wang was kneeling on the ground begging, and the owner of the bun shop waved his hand impatiently, "Get out of here, don't affect my business!" β
The woman was still praying, the rolling pin in the boss's hand waved to beat her, the woman was so frightened that she avoided and closed her mouth, knelt on the side with tears in her eyes, and held a doll in her arms who didn't know how old she was lying in her mother's arms with her eyes closed, silent, looking weak!
Hey, Lu Wang, who didn't want to be nosy, finally walked over, because he thought of himself in another space, the same ** silk, and the same white eyes.
"The shopkeeper brought two meat buns, and Lu Wang said and threw a few copper plates", took the buns handed by the boss and walked to the woman's side.
"Hey, play with our brothers, how about I fill your stomach?" Before Lu Wang could open his mouth to speak, he saw a few ruffians walk up to the woman and start laughing.
The woman's face was full of horror, and seeing that the three of them were silent, the little ruffians squatted down and began to move their hands and feet on her face, "How is it?" Seeing that your son is dying of hunger, let my brother and wife be happy and happy, and don't care how you have a full meal! "The little ruffians laughed very happily, this year there is a big drought and locust plague in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the homeless beggars are everywhere, among which there are some beautiful women, who generally can't stand hunger, a few steamed buns can play, it is simply a paradise on earth, but it is much more exciting than visiting the kiln!
"Okay? If you can do it, you will nod, buddy will find someone else", the little ruffian said that his hand kept touching the woman's face, although it was dirty, but it was a beauty, this is a good family, and the Oiran in the spring building is not exciting to play!
The woman finally gritted her teeth and nodded her head slightly, and the little ruffians laughed and reached out to pull her up, "Let's go, let's play slowly."
"Wait!" Lu Wang stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman and handed the bun over, "Sister, don't go with them, there are two buns that eat the mat first, if it's not enough, I'll buy it for you!" β
"I'm X, who are you, you", the little ruffians didn't even bother to listen to Lu Wang's origins and couldn't help but say that rushing up was a violent beating, where did this strangely dressed fool come out of them, they didn't care, but if they wanted to mess with the good things of their buddies, they had to be beaten!
"Hey, hey, stop first, listen to me, listen to me, oh, don't slap your face, don't slap your face!" Rwan's head was kicked on the ground!
"You, stop, I, I'll go with you!" The woman suddenly shouted loudly, and the little ruffians finally laughed!
"Eldest sister, eldest sister, don't go with them......", Lu Wang's nose and face were swollen as he watched the woman being pulled away by three small ruffians, and her son was picking up Lu Wang's trampled bun and stuffing it into his mouth! The woman glanced back at him, shook her head gently, and the tears flowed even thicker!
"Young man, did you save one, did you save all, can you manage a meal, a day, a month, a year?" The shopkeeper of the bun shop sighed and stretched out his hand to help him up, and Lu Wang found that there were nearly 100 sallow-faced beggars around him, all looking at him numbly!
Lu Wang stayed, yes, this is the last year of the Ming Dynasty, the darkest era in history, the most famine years, did I save it, I, I, why should I save it, I, I'm here to make money, Lu Wang is very weak-hearted, his steps are very floating, and he is very embarrassed to cover his face and run!
