Chapter 825: Selling umbrellas on a sunny day
Shaoqiu was going to go to Luzhen, because as the years went by, life was not good, and the economy was tight, so he had to do some small business.
Because the capital is not large, I can't do much business, so I can only sell some apples, and in winter, there are no cold potatoes, and the weather is so cold, who still eats that thing, can only sell some apples.
I bought some goods in the wholesale market, looking at the good weather, it was a good day to do business, Shaoqiu went out, I had to do business well, otherwise, it was not good to have no money, I could hardly stand in a deserted village, and people laughed at him, and he almost became a useless person, and if he didn't do business well, people were about to call him a fool.
The girl has not stayed with Shaoqiu for many days, according to eyewitnesses, the girl has been in close contact with a person called the second fool in recent days, not to go on a date on the mountain, this is to go for a walk by the river, in short, it is very romantic, and it is likely to forget the old lover of Shaoqiu to the nine nights of clouds.
The reason why the girl is like this is just because she has listened to some slanderous rumors, saying that this young autumn has become a five-pack household, and the family is so poor that she has no ability, and she may go to the hospital to see a doctor in the future.
"Have you become a five-pack household?" Someone asked.
"No, I see, it's all because of the stupidity of reading." The other replied.
"Then I won't go to study in the future, otherwise, it may end up like this."
……
After the girl heard such words, for a while, she sat alone on the top of the mountain and thought about it for a long time, but with her mind, she couldn't think of a reason at all.
"It's all a five-pack household," the girl recalled what those people said in her heart, and for a while, she felt really uncomfortable in her heart, fortunately the matter between herself and Shaoqiu did not cross the clear road, otherwise, once she said it, how dull would her face be.
When he was thinking like this, the second fool came back from somewhere to get rich, and went to do business, and sold some cattle and sheep, and when he went, many people persuaded him, saying that business was difficult to do, and they urged him not to do those thankless things, but it was better to get the family's one-third of an acre of land well.
But the second fool didn't comply, and he didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, so on the day of heavy rain, he took all the family's savings with him and went out of the house, saying that he was going to get a daughter-in-law for himself.
Hearing the two fools say this, some people laughed at that time, saying that he boasted about Haikou, but after many days, when he saw these two fools, he really made some money, and came back at this time, claiming to marry the girl back as a wife, and when he heard this, people praised it.
When the girl heard this, she was not very happy for a while, although these two fools had some money, but in the girl's opinion, she felt that it was nothing, and it was not as meaningful as Shaoqiu's study.
In the girl's heart, in the deep night, the first thing that comes to mind is Shaoqiu, but when she thinks of people's discussions, everyone says that he is not, and you have to say what kind of fool he is.
Although the second fool made some money, but in the girl's opinion, he still felt that something was wrong, it seemed that so much money was nothing at all, and he wanted to follow him by himself, unless he died, otherwise, don't mention it.
Many days have passed in a blink of an eye.
The weather was very hot for some reason, and it didn't rain for a long time, and people were very eager to have a decent rain falling, otherwise, not to mention people, even some crops, stones, and other things, in the deep night they would quietly curse people, cursing some passers-by.
In such hot weather, umbrellas are naturally useless, and those merchants who sell umbrellas have gone bankrupt, some have changed careers to become cloth merchants, and some have even unknowingly become porters and thieves.
Several years have passed, not a drop of rain has fallen, with the passage of time, people have almost forgotten how to use umbrellas, some people's home storage of umbrellas, but also because of uselessness and reduced to garbage, discarded like shoes, simply thrown away to better, placed in the home obviously took up some more space, what to use it, some people even set a fire in a rage, the umbrella placed in the home burned to ashes.
Walking on the street, people can't see the existence of umbrellas at all, because the sky is sunny day after day, what is the use of umbrellas, not to mention the use, even the concept of umbrellas has gradually faded from people's minds, some people write, when they write the word umbrella, they also have to chant for a long time, otherwise, they really can't write it.
The sun is scorching the earth, on the street of Luzhen, once to the place where the fire is going to start, some people's houses, because the temperature is too high, often at night, spontaneous combustion for no reason, very unsafe, at this time, people can only go to carry out the dragon king in the temple, parade in the crowd, put it under the scorching sun all day long, roast and dry, have to let the dragon king fall a little rain.
Day after day, the dragon king who was brought out of the temple was not sunburned, and even sunburned, and the sun was not turned into a dragon king, sometimes it looked like it had become a ghost, but the weather was still so unbearable, and during the day, the temperature was still so high.
People have no choice but to take risks, otherwise, it is impossible to think that it will rain.
No, on this day, under the strong sun, people are talking about it, and they think that they have to think of a suitable way, otherwise, it will not rain in the sky, which is not appropriate in any case.
After thinking about it, people thought that the only way to do this was to burn the statue of the dragon king who was lifted out of the temple, otherwise, it would be almost impossible for it to rain on this day.
The man's proposal was echoed by many people, and it was agreed that the statue of the dragon king should be burned and forced to rain to help the crops growing in the fields, and there was no other way to do it.
But even if the statue of the dragon king is burned to ashes, the sky is still clear, there is no sign of rain at all, every day is cloudless, always feel stuffy, some people gradually can't stand it, in the deep night, often have to do some illegal things, and there are words, saying that the end is coming, no longer have to abide by the rules of the world, there is already a good thing to eat and drink.
For the long time when it does not rain, people are helpless, and some people even burn their clothes, because they feel that it is useless, but it is in the way, put it at home, in case there are children who do not know things, take advantage of the adults are not paying attention, secretly set a fire, and ignite it, but how to be better, it is better not to do it.
The concept of rain and umbrellas has gradually faded from people's minds, and even no longer exists, and people still don't need to carry hats, let alone umbrellas, even if they walk on the streets, no matter how the clouds change.
Some people don't know what an umbrella is because it hasn't rained for many years, and even school students don't have to learn the word umbrella, because learning it is useless, and it won't be useful at all, right?
One day, the weather was extremely hot, and the people walking on the street were getting to the point of not wearing clothes, and compared to human life, this courtesy, righteousness and shame were nothing at all, because the ghost weather was so hot.
Even if you only wear a thin shirt, in such a hot weather, it is unacceptable, some people suffer from heat stroke, some people die of shock, and some people are already mild schizophrenia because of the heat, and when they see the infestation of cows, they think that they are their wives, and they have to be with them to do something unacceptable.
Of course, as a state of etiquette, these things have happened, and it is also very bad, and the impact is so bad that some gentlemen and others have chosen to commit suicide, and maintain the innocence of people's spiritual territory with their own actions, and will never allow any unnecessary tarnishing.
……
It's really apocalyptic.
But on this day, for some reason, the second fool actually took out all the savings he had accumulated for many years, not for anything else, not to invite guests to drink, not to dance and enjoy the light, not to go to the restaurant to date those women or anything, he took out the money, just to buy umbrellas, and the umbrellas in the whole world were almost all bought by this kid overnight.
After the two fools took the umbrella out on the street, people had not dealt with it for many years, and for a while, the umbrella knew them, and they didn't know what it was.
The whole street was full of the umbrellas of the two fools, and people expressed their incomprehension of this, in such a white weather, it was so hot that this thing could be sold?
But soon after, the sky was overcast in an instant, the roaring thunder kept rolling, the heavens and the earth changed color, and some individuals, at this time, hid in their own houses, not daring to come out, for fear that when the wind blew, they would blow themselves away.
Some jewellers' jewels were placed in front of the shop to sell, but when the wind came, it was very unreasonable, and in an instant, some huge stones were taken and hung in the sky, and they wanted to fall, which was extremely terrifying and weird, so that some cowards, who wanted to die and lose money, closed the door of the house one after another, and ignored those jewels.
Of course, in the end, these things became the licensed goods of the two fools, because the wind passed everywhere, and there was a mess, and the streets were full of jewels, gold and silver, and the owners of these things either fled or died inexplicably, and they neither stole nor robbed, and picked them up, so why not?
Some of the shops were also empty because of the raging winds, no one existed, the boss had already fled, and he didn't dare to stay in Lu Town, as for why these bosses fled, what did they see, because there was no real evidence, it was inconvenient to judge.
In short, some shops in Lu Zhen were empty almost overnight, looking at these, the second fool was happy in his heart, he just used these rooms to store his own umbrellas, as for whether he could make a fortune, it depended on his own creation.
