Chapter 348: The Misfortune of the Peidi Family
Pedi is just a ten-year-old child, and when he encounters such a big thing as murder, he doesn't know what to do, and he feels very relieved to be able to find himself in the first place.
Seeing that his disciples were about to cry, Flandi said in a deep voice: "Peidi, don't panic, what happened, tell me in detail." ”
"Teacher......" Pei Di endured, and then told Flandi what had happened.
It turned out that after Frandy asked the steward of the Wheat Ear Farm, Willy Sr., to hand over the fruits and vegetables produced in the glass greenhouse to Pata and Mamu of Pedi as agents, Barlow and Mara quickly became wealthy.
These fruits and vegetables, which are diluted and watered by plant-based magic sources in the huge, bright-looking, and very good-tasting glass greenhouse, have just been launched, and they have directly become the darlings of the market.
The main target of the sale, of course, will not be the commoners, and the commoners cannot afford it, but in the aristocratic quarters.
Where is the aristocratic district so easy to enter, but old Willie used a little connection, and after mentioning Flandi's name, everything went smoothly.
Even countless people were very jealous of the Barlow family's business, but they were sternly warned by their respective heads of the family that they must not reach out to this ordinary fruit seller.
Of course, this is a rule that circulates in the circle of nobles, and nobles and commoners are basically two circles, plus the time is still short, the Barlow family has only been selling this super fruit for more than a month, and the news has not yet spread, so many commoners don't know.
However, although they were selling this super fruit and vegetable, the Barlow family did not lose their previous business, but hired two young, honest, and hard-working guys to manage the stall.
There are many old customers of Barlow in the Chengnan Market, and after learning that Barlow has found such a source of goods, some are envious, some are jealous, and many people come to talk to Barlow about this business.
However, these new fruits and vegetables are too expensive, and they are also too big, if they are sold in their entirety, it is not that ordinary people really can't afford to buy them, but no one will come to buy them.
After all, saving money for a few years, just to buy a fruit to try, that's a fool's business.
However, there are many people and many ideas, and some people propose not to sell them whole, but to cut these fruits and vegetables and sell them individually, which solves the problem at once.
Commoners are not all poor ghosts, especially now that various factories have been set up in the imperial capital, everyone has a stable source of income, and it is still affordable to occasionally have a luxury and eat fresh.
A big peace fruit is more than 100 catties, then cut into more than 200 portions, and one is less than a catty, in this way, even if the commoners who are not very wealthy grit their teeth, they can buy a piece for their wives and sons to taste, because the taste is so good.
In this way, the Barlow family became famous in the southern part of the city, and many people knew that his family had made a fortune.
This aroused the covetousness of many people, they were not nobles, they could not contact that circle, they did not know that Flandy was behind Barlow's family, but they knew that Barlow's son had become a magic apprentice.
Magic apprentice, in a few years, he will definitely be a magician, and no civilians are willing to mess with a magician master, so his life is quite stable.
But there are always some people who are not too peaceful, there is a man named Ban Lin near Pei Di's house, who likes to take advantage of small advantages on weekdays, and has a thick skin and a strong body, but he is very lazy.
In the current imperial capital, because of the establishment of several labor-intensive factories, especially the garbage and waste recycling factory, a large number of workers are employed, not only refugees have already worked, but also a lot of indigenous people have entered the factory to earn salaries. It has even reached the point of shortage.
If this Ban Lin had gone to work like everyone else, he would have had a good life with his physique and strength, but he was pretentious and lazy, and felt that it was a bit of a shame to work like everyone else, so he had been hanging out at home.
But seeing that others are earning a lot of salaries, life is gradually getting better, but he is very jealous.
He was about the same age as Barlow, and they used to play with them when they were children, and after hearing that Barlow's family had made a fortune, he came to the door.
If he wanted to find a job, Barlow was still very welcome, and his family's business also needed such a strong man to help, but what he didn't expect was that Ban Lin had no intention of working at all, but came to borrow money.
Due to his childhood friendship, Barlow couldn't refuse at first, so he lent him a silver coin or two and sent him away.
But where would a silver coin or two be enough for Banlin's expenses? So he borrowed it from Barlow.
At this time, Barlow was opening up the business market in the aristocratic district with the help of old Willy, and he was very tired every day, and he didn't even have time to rest, but the gold coins were earning more and more.
So he persuaded him a few words, and directly took out two gold coins for him, asking him to make a small transaction, and the gold coins did not have to be returned.
However, his generosity attracted Ban Lin's greater jealousy, and although he was grateful to Barlow on the surface, he was about to go crazy in his heart.
Two gold coins, just give it to yourself? I have never touched a few gold coins in my life, why did he Barlow take it out casually? And listening to the movement in his pocket, there should be more gold coins!
But considering that Barlow's son was already a magic apprentice, Ban Lin didn't dare to have any bad intentions, took two gold coins, and left Barlow's house with a red face.
His red face was not caused by shame, but by jealousy!
Two gold coins is already a lot of money, more than enough to make a small deal, but if you really listen to Barlow, he is also Banlin.
He was reluctant to buy it before, but he bought it with these two gold coins, and he was reluctant to eat it, and he was not stingy, so he bought it directly to satisfy his appetite, and he bought a piece of the new big akane melon to taste.
He spent all the gold coins that were enough for two years of the family's expenses in ten days, so he came to borrow money from Barlow.
In his heart, since the Barlow family has made such a fortune, two gold coins are just a drizzle, and a random leak between his fingers is enough for him to be chic for a while.
He made a lot of preparations for borrowing money this time, made himself very glamorous, swept away his previous decadent appearance, and also asked Barlow for advice on the tricks of doing business, and as a result, he really won Barlow's trust.
At this time, Barlow's business was already on the right track, and his daily income was a figure that he couldn't even think of before, so in order to help this friend who was barely calculating, he directly took out ten gold coins to him.
You can even buy a big mansion in a civilian area, and if you use it for business, the business will not be too small, and even in the market, you can get a good façade.
At first, Ban Lin really had the slightest idea of doing business, but when he told his fox friends about it, those people began to give him ideas.
Some ideas are not bad, some ideas are very unreliable, Ban Lin is just lazy and has a good face, but he is not stupid, so he naturally knows it.
He used to be poor and couldn't afford to invite his brothers to drink, but after receiving Barlow's funding this time, of course he wanted to show off.
So I asked for a few days in a row, and after paying off the debt I owed before, I began to use my brains.
If a commoner wants to get ahead, he must have the support of the nobles behind him, otherwise, it will be like a piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite, so he spent a lot of money, bought a way, and got in touch with the children of a noble family.
In order to gain the support of this concubine, he even spent five gold coins to buy a fairly acceptable ornament as a gift, but what he never expected was that after the nobleman got the ornament, he suddenly disappeared.
For more than half a month, Ban Lin has been spending money lavishly in order to show himself, and when he found out that the nobleman's son had run away, there was only one gold coin and a few silver coins left in his pocket.
What can you do with such a small amount of money? Ban Lin is bent on making a big deal and getting rich like the Barlow family, but how can the business be so easy to do? Just to earn back those ten gold coins, I don't know how long it will take.
I want to borrow it from Barlow again, but he really can't pull this face, and even Ban Lin himself feels that Barlow has done his best to himself, and he really can't open this mouth.
Although Barlow said that these gold coins were given to him, if he didn't have any achievements at all, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
As long as Ban Lin thought that after the gold coins were spent, he would have to go back to the hard life before, and his heart was terrible.
So he thought of stealing.
There are many rich people in the aristocratic district, but he does not dare to go, which rich nobleman has no guards at home? He thinks that he is tall and powerful, but if he really competes with the guards he trains every day, there is absolutely no good fruit to eat.
Then you can only look for targets in the civilian area, and who in the civilian area is not protected and has a lot of gold coins?
Come to think of it, it's only Barlow's house.
"Barlow, I'm sorry, anyway, you have some gold coins, I only borrow one hundred and eighty from you, as long as I make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely pay you back!"
Ban Lin also felt a little guilty in his heart, but this rich life had completely made him feel that the previous forty years had been in vain, and all he thought about was making money and making a fortune.
This is called the hard life of being angry, no one wants to live a hard life without money, but the inner morality restricts behavior, and when one's inner morality is put aside, everything can be done.
Banlin began to observe the daily activities of Barlow and Maza, and he found that they were completely defenseless, leaving every morning and not returning home for dinner at noon, and would not return to sleep until night.
It's so easy to steal Barlow's gold coins, just avoid the eyes and ears of others and don't come and steal them at night.
