Chapter 185: Bad News
Lu Changfeng was swept by the merchant surnamed Cao with envy, sadness, and resolute eyes, only to feel his heart tremble, and without waiting to say anything, the two parties passed by. The merchant surnamed Cao was dragged by his companion to sit in the carriage outside the door, and walked slowly, Lu Changfeng also followed Lin Chen to explore the way to the city.
Three days later, Yuelai Inn.
"Changfeng, this day the water is not on the map, and there is no store in front of the village, but I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly prosperous!"
Lin Chen said excitedly.
He originally had this Tianshui in the future that his wife felt that it was close to Jincheng, and selected the city at random, but when he arrived in Tianshui, he knew that it was much better than Jincheng, because it was located in the plain, so the city was built solidly, and because the land route was unimpeded, so the merchants from all walks of life passed on from mouth to mouth, and a large number of merchants entered and exited every day. Although the people are not as diligent as the people of Jincheng, because there are many merchants, the people are also wealthy. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the mountains here are not reliable, and they do not rely on farming, but rely on merchants to get rich.
In Lin Chen's thoughts, a rich place is always better to make money than a poor country.
"We still have such a place in Yongzhou, I have to talk to the young master when I go back."
Lin Chen gulped down the local oily meat and said to the little brother opposite.
The little brother Lu Changfeng was a little absent-minded at this time.
To be honest, he didn't see anything other than finding that the local villagers were wealthy these days. Because the land routes are unobstructed, there are many merchants in the locals, so many people follow the merchants. They don't go far, because they are close to the Qiang, they will resell some cloth and tea to the Qiang, if they are bolder and go farther, they will go to Jincheng and Hanzhong, or simply go farther to Jingyang, resell some rare things such as brown sugar, and buy more goods, earn more but also press more capital.
But no matter how far or far the merchant goes, he always earns more than farming at home.
Therefore, the women here are the main force of farming, and they have to grow some food every year to make a living, and most of the money is earned by men.
This kind of local custom of performing their own duties made Lu Changfeng feel that he couldn't get involved.
Unlike Jincheng, there are idle manpower like Jincheng women who can make wool thread, and no one can make hard-earned money from spinning.
Changfeng remembered that a few days ago, he tentatively asked a farmer if they would like to try to spin wool, and they flatly refused and smiled bitterly.
It's easy to get by land, so there's no need for them to improve transportation, and there's not a lot of idle manpower available. If it is to resell the glass under Sister A's hands, you can also make money, but what does this mean by doing business under Sister A's hands? I am determined to make my own career.
Lu Changfeng pondered here, and naturally he didn't have Brother Lin's good appetite.
Seeing that Changfeng was worried, Lin Chen sandwiched a piece of meat for Changfeng, and comforted, "It's normal for your thoughts to be frustrated these days, it's Mrs. and Master Hou, every time you do something, you also think hard step by step, let's not be in a hurry, let's take a look first, maybe one day you will find the direction with a flash of inspiration?"
Lu Changfeng smiled bitterly when he heard this, it was better for Brother Lin to persuade people than not to persuade people. With Sister A and brother-in-law Zhuyu in front, he will be anxious.
However, he also knew that he couldn't eat a fat man in one bite, but his experience in Jincheng was completely useless in Tianshui, and he could just take other roads, which was completely different from Sister A.
Thinking of this, Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Lin, I'm fine, let's come out and be ready to sneak back, it's only three days now, I'm fine, it's a big deal when I go back to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, let's just wipe our faces." ”
The two are usually grinning people, but they can cope with the ridicule of everyone at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but they are not happy in their hearts and lose face.
Lin Chen smiled bitterly, "Nephew Changfeng, don't say anything sad, let's cheer up and go out for a spin in a while!" ”
Don't wait for the two to go out, a person hurriedly ran in at the door of the inn, and the shopkeeper who was smiling and smiling on weekdays thought he was a beggar, and made a look with the guy to let him out, who knew that the guy just arrived at the door, and the person who broke in threw himself on the guy and cried loudly.
"God, I can't live, the goods are gone, I've been busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and I'm pointing to this experience..."
The cry of a big man was really ugly, and it soon attracted people from inside and outside the inn.
"Huh? Isn't this Brother Wang, didn't you go to Hanzhong with Brother Cao? Why is it like this now, Brother Cao? ”
In the lobby of the inn, a person recognized this black-faced man, handed him a glass of water, and asked.
The middle-aged man who couldn't see his face clearly took the water, drank it with a bang, and then spoke, "I'm sorry Brother Cao, Brother Cao let the horse thief cut it down!" ”
After speaking, he cried again.
The onlookers exploded, and the people inside and outside the inn looked at each other with ugly faces.
Every year, there is the shadow of a horse thief, but it does not happen in front of your eyes, and you can also persuade yourself that it is just a news that you don't know whether it is true or false, and now the tragedy of the horse thief disaster is really happening in front of your eyes, and everyone can no longer deceive themselves.
"Hurry up, it's not your fault that Brother Cao has an accident."
Someone couldn't stand it, so he went up to support the merchant surnamed Wang, who was crying bitterly, and supported him on the stool in the lobby, slowly relieving himself.
The merchant surnamed Wang didn't know whether he felt sorry for his whole net worth, or regretted that he had involved Brother Cao, sat on the stool, or hid his face and held the table, refusing to show his face, which made the onlookers sigh.
After a while, Cao Xingshang's family rushed to hear the news, and it was useless for the businessman surnamed Wang to kneel on the ground and repent.
After watching a human tragedy, the inn lobby did not eat and drink and chat until late at night as usual, but returned to the room early.
Lu Changfeng and Lin Chen also returned to the room early.
"Changfeng, don't go to your heart." Lin Chen patted Changfeng on the shoulder, the merchant surnamed Cao met them by chance before going out that day, but the corpse was in the wilderness in three days, Changfeng was still small, I am afraid that he will be stimulated.
Lu Changfeng shook his head, "Brother Lin doesn't have to worry, when I was six years old, I saw a lot of people who were supporting each other one moment and couldn't get up on the side of the road the next moment, and I am not an omnipotent bodhisattva, so I can't control so much." ”
Back then, he followed Sister A from Fengxian to Nanyang, and how many bones fell on the side of the road along the way? He was not afraid then, and he will not be depressed now.
He has always known that it is not easy to survive in this world, and everyone struggles to live well, and he can't control many others.
After taking a sip of herbal tea, Changfeng's face returned to normal, no longer blushing, and Lin Chen was finally relieved.
"The New Year is sad, now there are more than 20 days before the New Year, we thought too simple before we came, now, let's set the goal more reliable, in the year before the Tianshui to find a clear view, after the New Year to look for opportunities."
Lin Chen said.
He finally realized that he and Changfeng were enthusiastic for a while, thinking about things too easily, and thinking too much about their own abilities, so there was a sense of loss and disparity in the past few days, how many geniuses like Mrs. are there in this world? This time I adjusted it, I was no longer in a hurry, and now I did the work in front of me, and when they came back from Jincheng for the New Year, they would make plans again.
Lu Changfeng listened to Lin Chen's words, nodded, his immature face seemed to be a little more mature, and said, "You're right, Brother Lin, we're too eager for quick success, you and I have been under too much pressure these days, starting tomorrow, we will take this time to go out to play, take a look around, buy some specialties, and after the middle of the month, we will set off back to Jincheng." If there is anything, let's talk about it after the New Year. ”
