Chapter 029: A Hundred Miles and Five Fragrances
Hundred miles and five kinds of incense
Brother Jiao was busy all day in the enclosure, and Boss Jiao didn't take a nap for a day when he didn't quarrel, just watched him toss.
There were as many people passing by today as usual, but there was not a single piece of money to be found. As soon as every passerby saw a fruit seller in the middle of the road, they opened their mouths to buy it, and when Boss Jiao, who was rushing to rob, saw that people wanted to buy fruits, he could only put aside his first occupation - robbery and finish the run. Some passers-by began to praise how the pears are delicious, how crispy, and after praising the pears, they praised Jiao Laoda, praising him for having a business mind to think that selling fruits on the road here is also a unique one, but let the passers-by change the taste of the tongue, and the road is always steamed bread and pickles to the hungry vegetables, walking in the middle of the road slowly tongue, it's good!
After the passers-by finished speaking, they praised Boss Jiao again, the truth is afraid of human favors, and mortals are afraid of praise. Boss Jiao was quite embarrassed when he heard someone praise him. In my life, I have never heard others praise, "You are so powerful! You are so skilled in robbery!" There has never been such a robber who has been praised like this, and even if he has heard it, it is all sarcasm.
Boss Jiao is praised by so many people today, perhaps for the first time in his life. His face turned red.
I was embarrassed to pick up a kitchen knife that had peeled the peel and robbed it again. Not to mention, selling vegetables and fruits in the middle of this wild road is really fast, and a basket was sold out in the morning, which is much stronger than the county seat where my son walked for a day yesterday. Boss Jiao knew that this was all his son's credit, and just wanted to turn around and let Brother Jiao rest, but in the blink of an eye, there was no one.
It was almost noon, and he took out the dry food from the basket he brought, chewed it slowly, and finished eating the dry food. I even peeled a pear to eat. In this mountainous area, who does not have a few fruit trees, pears are not a rare thing. After eating the pears, Boss Jiao peeled two or three more and kept them for his son to eat.
It stands to reason that Mr. Jiao's warm belly at this time should take advantage of the warm weather to sleep, this is how he can't sleep today, it may be that the remaining basket of pears is making trouble. When I fall asleep on weekdays, I also miss a lot of pedestrians, and today when I fall asleep here, I may not only miss robbing passers-by, but also coincidentally someone will steal their own fruits to eat.
This is a road in the world, people of three religions and nine streams can walk, and there is no writing on this road, only good people can pass.
Boss Jiao has a deep understanding that when he was young, he was also beaten by pedestrians. He can't only consider himself unlucky with others, who makes himself unlucky. Boss Jiao couldn't fall asleep and began to lie on the ground, thinking about his whole life, when there was no scenery. always lives a special nest, he has no interest, and now his son is almost weak, and he can't support himself. It's sad to think about, hey, it's been a wasted life. Thinking about it, two tears went down the corners of his eyes and drilled into the ground.
The sound of sawing wood disturbed Boss Jiao in pain. This is a mountainous area, and there are often mountain dwellers who sell their mature trees everywhere, so they can't control it when it comes to building houses or chopping wood and making fires. The money in your hand is real.
It was a common thing, but Boss Jiao still sat up and took a look, not for anything else, just because this voice was too close to his reality. It was as if the sound was in my ears, as if I was afraid that the tree would fall on me.
Boss Jiao looked at the place where the voice came from, it was none other than his son Brother Jiao. Boss Jiao slammed his crutches, and he didn't care about the Venus flying in front of him, so he rushed over to Brother Jiao.
Because Brother Jiao got the saw bow somewhere, he was sawing a sapling the thickness of an adult's arm. If it is someone else's tree, Boss Jiao doesn't care, but this is Boss Jiao's own one-third of an acre. Otherwise, he wouldn't have robbed on this one-third of an acre of land all year round.
"Put down the saw for me, why are you really trying to me off. As he spoke, Boss Jiao dropped the stick on his buttocks, but the stick was raised high and light. You don't feel much when you hit anyone. This is because Boss Jiao loves this son very much, otherwise he will worry about his son's future life, although Brother Jiao is indeed not as good as his two daughters, so that Boss Jiao can rest easy, but the daughter who marries is someone else's family after all, and the inheritance still depends on this unsuccessful son.
"Dad, what are you doing, didn't I tell you in the morning! I'm going to build a shed here now, so that I can block the wind and sun in the future. Brother Jiao said confidently.
Boss Jiao thought about it, this is also a business, and it is not easy to sell a basket of fruits in the morning. I no longer feel sorry for those saplings who can sell for a consistent amount of money when they grow up. Silently walked out of the wasteland covered with dark black grass and gray, and the cloth shoes with patches were also dyed black by the grass residue burned by his son's refining ground.
In this way, Boss Jiao stopped robbing and concentrated on selling fruits. Jiao Ge'er stopped selling fruit anymore and concentrated on building a shed. But before Brother Jiao's shed was built, something happened that made Boss Jiao unhappy - following the trend.
The first thing that came to mind was Brother Jiao who sold fruit on the wild road, but who didn't see wealth and was red-eyed? Although Jiao Lao Damei was beautiful in his heart and didn't tell others how much silver he could earn a day, others were not blind, and he could sell them for a hundred or ten yuan in a rough calculation, which was not less than the money he made when he was greedy and sold in the countryside. So I don't know how many fruit buyers have popped up on this wild road.
The simpler vendors set up stalls to sell, and the more elaborate ones also set up sheds, and they were more spacious and fast than Jiao Ge'er's. At the beginning, Boss Jiao could sell for more than 150 yuan a day, but after ten days, he could only sell for about 20 yuan, which can be regarded as being cut off from his wealth. I just want to scold my mother.
Only Brother Jiao can calm down and slowly and steadily cover the shed. The next day, he used the money he had saved for several years to take out the money he had saved for the exam, and asked someone to build a simple wooden house behind the greenhouse, which was not very spacious, eight steps long and five steps wide. The wood is used at home, and the stone is also carved by a stonemason on the ground.
Boss Jiao's second monk was confused, and saw that his son had spent all the money he had spent to take the exam, so he talked to his son to see if his son was driven crazy or wanted to drive Boss Jiao crazy.
"Dad, robbery is illegal and dishonorable. Can we eat honestly, and we can make ends meet if we sell 20 yuan a day, and after our small shop opens, our family will earn even more money. ”
"Our little shop?" Hearing this, Boss Jiao understood what his son meant.
"And what are you going to buy?"
"Sell tea!"
"A scholar is a scholar, and his brain is good! Tomorrow our fruit will not be sold, and I will help you supervise the work!"
