Chapter 10 A gambler
Wang Wenchang opened the paper fan and slapped it twice coquettishly, "Playing cards, it's normal to win or lose, go, I'll give you five silver dollars as the capital to earn back your Xu family's family business!" ”
Xu Fugui didn't guess what he meant, and shook his head to himself, "Don't gamble, don't gamble, Young Master Wang, I think, you will still gamble less in the future, I am a living example." ”
The smile on Wang Wenchang's face disappeared suddenly, looked at his shabby appearance, and said thoughtfully, "The heart of this casino is really ruthless, and I really won't gamble in the future?" ”
"No more betting."
"What are you going to do then?"
"Rent a few acres of land and be a farmer, just enough to live."
Wang Wenchang sighed: "Rolling and crawling in the ground all day long, can you afford it?" ”
Xu Fugui grinned and straightened his waist, "The young master will definitely not be able to bear it, but I am no longer a young master." ”
Wang Wenchang took two steps back and forth, hesitated, and said, "Why don't I borrow some capital from you and see what kind of business you do in the county?" ”
There is no imaginary cynicism, and there is no falling stone.
Although his Xu family is down, his previous connections and friendships are still there, and if he can, if he is Xu Fugui, he will also give others some insignificant help.
Seeing this scene, Xu Fugui couldn't wait to give himself a big slap in the face in his previous life.
At this time in my last life, because I couldn't accept the blow of losing all my family property, I stayed at home and sat depressed.
Even if you have to come to the county seat, you will deliberately avoid seeing acquaintances, not wanting others to see your poor and sour appearance.
At that time, if I wanted to open a little, I might be able to borrow some money from relatives and friends to do something in the city.
By the time he completely accepted the reality, several years had passed, the New Rabbit Country had been established, and the upper echelons of Yunxi County had been washed away, like Wang Wenchang, who was alone and couldn't protect himself, let alone what could help him.
came back to his senses, thought about Wang Wenchang's proposal carefully, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
After all, farming is a water mill, and it is impossible to plant it on the first day and harvest it the next day.
If you can find a job in the county, it is undoubtedly the best.
In recent years, the market has been very free, and the government will hardly interfere, if the new rabbit country is established and the planned economy is implemented, all the people who do business will be branded as speculative, and there will be no such a good opportunity.
In addition, I have been rolling in the ground all my life, and in the end I didn't grow any fame.
At that time, he knew that if he wanted to make his family's life prosperous, it was not enough to just farm the land, at most he could get food and clothing.
Reliving a lifetime, although he does not want to be a trendsetter in history, he also wants to try to take other paths besides farming.
"Have you thought about it?" Wang Wenchang said with a little impatience, these sons, don't expect them to have too good patience.
Xu Fugui said gratefully: "Thank you, Young Master Wang, but I can't make up my mind about this matter, can I go back and discuss with my father first?" ”
The old man is still alive, he doesn't dare to make up his mind, and he has never been exposed to business in his previous life, so he has to learn everything from scratch.
In this heart, there is really no bottom.
"It's up to you, when you ask for money, come to the house to find me, let's gamble friends, and it doesn't hurt to help a gang."
After speaking, he turned to leave, and the two attendants behind him followed suit, looking at him with undisguised sarcasm in their eyes.
Xu Fugui pretended not to see it, and the fact that he lost all his family property had long been a joke in the county, and I don't know how many people used it as a negative teaching material.
He deserved to be involved in gambling.
Squinting at the sky, the sun was in the middle, he carried a bamboo basket, and in the sound of chickens and ducks chirping, he stepped forward to go home.
Passing by the place where sugar gourds were sold, I thought of Feng Xia's two lovely dimples, smiled slightly in my heart, and spent thirty-five copper coins to buy a bunch.
Walking out of the county seat, the bluestone street immediately turned into a dirt road where two horse-drawn carriages passed in parallel.
The farther away from the county seat, the narrower the dirt road, the worse the road condition, the potholes, and no one ever bothered to repair it.
Turning around a bamboo forest, making sure that there was no one around, and with a movement of his mind, all the heavy things on his body disappeared into the space.
To his surprise, lambs, chickens and ducks could be placed in space, but they were as if time and space were standing still in space, motionless and without rolling their eyes.
Pinched his shoulder, it was much easier now, turned around and walked into the dense bamboo forest, untied his belt and peed.
"Hey, this thing is still so big, I wonder if it will last longer after the strength increases?"
After spilling a big bubble of urine, Xu Fugui proudly tied his trouser belt, whistled, and returned to the dirt road.
Passing by a ditch, I looked at it for a while, but I was stunned that I didn't find any traces of fish and shrimp in it, so I could only return in disappointment.
On the way, I kept thinking about Wang Wenchang's proposal in my heart.
If you really want to do business, then what kind of business should you do?
He had never done business in his previous life, but he lived a long time and experienced a lot of things, and the young people of the village liked to go out and explore.
They do business, and some of them succeed and become bosses after a year, but more of them still lose money and go to work honestly.
It can be seen that the business is not as easy to do as imagined, and there are many details in between.
Of course, there must be difficulties in doing business, and it is good to overcome them one by one, but now the main thing is that I don't know what business to do.
I went to the county town for a walk today, it seems to be prosperous, but there is a business that should be there, if he goes to intervene indiscriminately, it is a high probability to lose money.
Moreover, I don't know if Father Xu will agree with him to make these things up, after all, in his heart, his son really doesn't have a good impression.
Thinking all the way, I unconsciously returned to the vicinity of Xujia Village, took out all the purchased things in the woods, and then walked towards the village.
"Young master, came back after buying so many things?" The villagers working in the fields saw it and greeted them with their hoes.
Xu Fugui smiled and nodded, "Don't call me young master, call me Fugui." ”
These are the former tenants of his Xu family, but now they are the tenants of the Long Er family.
There are more than 60 households in Xujia Village, half of which are tenants, and in Xu Fugui's grandfather's generation, almost all the members of the Xu family are tenants of his Xu family.
That is, Xu's father and him kept tossing, and more and more people in the village owned their own land.
Returning home in the surprised eyes of the villagers, Lai Shun and Changgen went to work in the fields, and Xu's mother sat on the firewood and knitted straw shoes.
"Ah, Fugui, why did you buy so many things?"
Feng Xia heard the movement, jumped out of the house, and looked at the lamb and jumped up in surprise, "Dad, is this for Feng Xia?" ”
Xu Fugui nodded with a smile and put the lamb at her feet, "Yes, Fengxia will have to take good care of it in the future......"
