"Isn't there a boat gang?"

"I heard that they have hoarded a large amount of grain in Guanyang and want to sell it in Fucheng."

"I am missing the great virtue of eight generations!"

Qiu Hu only listened and laughed while eating pickled vegetable steamed buns, and asked Liang Shubao: "I heard that you have sold out of mountain goods today?" ”

"Sold out!" Liang Shubao patted his chest and talked about how he sold Lu Xu's dry goods and vegetables.

He caught a lot and went to the East Street morning market to set up a stall to sell mountain goods, he was worried that it would be difficult to sell it, so he resigned several times, Qiu Hu comforted him that when the days were long, others knew that he was really good, but he had sold them for two or three months, and the business was not good.

The other brothers who went to unload, repair houses, work as short-term workers, and fished gradually became easier, and his brother Shanbao was able to deliver firewood and vegetables to the big house, but he was still the same.

The only few times it was sold, Shanbao went to deliver firewood to the customer and piggyback to help him sell it.

Liang Shubao still had a bitter face, "Brother Tiger, I'm really not the material for trading!" ”

Especially when he saw how Lu Xu made his business prosperous.

He observed that Lu Xu was not a day or two, he learned every day, imitated every day, and he didn't learn to be like him, he also shouted, and said that he was obedient, and he tasted it first and then bought it, but he couldn't stand others walking around his stall!

Liang Shubao: "I can't learn those words, those tricks." Why don't you let me carry a big bag and go fishing! ”

Uncle Tan laughed at him, "Come on, you are so dizzy that you can't stand up as soon as you get on the boat, and you still catch fish." ”

Liang Shubao: "That's because you can't row the boat!" ”

Qiu Hu asked, "Uncle Tan, what do you think of that Lu Xu?" ”

Uncle Tan repeated what Lu Xu said to him on the road.

When Qiu Hu heard that he was supporting his brother and that his brother was his confidence, he couldn't help but nod again and again.

His family is only his son, his mother was injured when she gave birth to him, a few years ago the winter was cold and sick, they couldn't find a doctor in the mountains, his mother dragged it until the beginning of spring, almost died.

Since then, he has been determined to go down the mountain and make a career.

He came out of the mountains over the mountains, and when he had fruit, he carried fresh fruits from the mountains in baskets and sold them, and when there was no fruit, he worked as coolies for people, carried large bags, repaired roofs, harvested wheat, and ploughed the fields as oxen.

Which master wants to eat what rare mushroom fruits, he has never been a child, looking for it over the mountains and mountains, often walking on the mountain road for three or four days, staying in the barren mountains and mountains at night, and the wolves have been face-to-face.

It was not good at first, as soon as he left, the business he just picked up was snatched away, and if he wanted to make money, he could only rob other people's business. No matter how ruthless and powerful a person is, after all, two fists are invincible to four hands.

Later, he saved money to buy livestock, and carried mountain goods from his family to sell, and the brothers in the village obeyed him and were willing to follow him down the mountain.

Qiu Hu picked up the coarse tea bowl, "That kid is right, everyone outside says that I Qiu Hu is a character, my brother knows it, I am nothing without you, they say they are afraid of me Qiu Hu, but in fact, I am afraid of my brothers, I can't speak, it's all in the wine, it's dry!" ”

The brother, who was also not good at speaking, picked up the tea bowl, raised his head and drank the wine dry: "It's done!" ”

Qiu Hu looked at the brothers who were working together, and his heart was bright.

They came down from the mountain with him, they couldn't speak official language, they couldn't speak about the sun, they didn't dress well, they didn't eat well, they didn't use it well, and they even wore a pair of straw sandals that were different from others. But how do those people know that when they walk on mountain roads, the soles of their shoes are thin, and the stones are so awkward that they don't braid, and they will break down if they don't wear them for a few days.

His brothers only felt that it was a shame for him, and they were always panicked, and they were not afraid of such a big man carrying stones, but they secretly looked for him for three days and five days, saying that they would not know anything, and that they were embarrassed to eat his food in vain, otherwise they would better go back to the mountains.

Qiu Hu hates, why are there such a big difference between people and people's backgrounds, they were born in the mountains, they can't grow rice and wheat, many people have never eaten a mouthful of white flour and white rice until they die, and they can't wear cotton clothes, and some people are born in the rich nest, and the shoes and socks they wear are silk.

When he ate white-flour steamed buns for the first time, he hid in the alley and cried while gnawing against the wall, vowing to get ahead and bring his father and sister out.

He never felt that he was inferior to his brothers, let alone inferior to anyone, even if he met the official master, he would not be as flattering and bent as some doglegs.

His brothers are all iron-clad heroes.

"Heroes don't ask about their origins, it's a good point." He smashed his fist on his knee and said hatefully: "My Qiu Hukong has some brute strength, and I haven't made a good living for everyone for so long, but I can't stand everyone." ”

Tan Shishi: "Brother Big Tiger, what are you talking about?" ”

Liang Shubao said: "Yes, our brothers follow you steadfastly, if you are like a boat gang and even bully beggars, and make some black money, we can't do it!" ”

Tan Shishi: "That's it! I inquired, that Lu Xu was selling snails for a few days opposite the gambling house, Song Liu saw that his business was good, so he asked him for money, Lu Xu gave less, so he took the thugs to teach him a lesson. ”

Liang Shanbao: "I also heard that if it weren't for that Lu Xu who happened to know Luo Shen in the yamen, he would have been knocked out of Guanyang by Song Liu." ”

Liang Shubao: "The business of cooking snails has been robbed by Song Liu's dog's legs. ”

Qiu Hu was busy with big things, and the first time he heard about this, he heard that they praised Lu Xu a lot, so he asked, "What happened later?" ”

Liang Shubao: "Lu Xu is also generous, others learn from him, rob him of business, and he also teaches the other party how to make good food." ”

Qiu Hu: "Really? ”

Liang Shubao: "Many stalls in the morning market know about it. ”

Qiu Hu: "Then can he still do business?" ”

Liang Shubao: "Yes! He turned around and sold fried fritters! ”

Fried fritters, everyone suddenly realized that fried fritters were Lu Xu's business!

They have long heard that fried fritters are delicious, but they are expensive, and they are still reluctant to buy one to taste.

Liang Shubao: "Song Liu hasn't stopped yet, some time ago, he asked people to learn how to make fritters, if it weren't for the boat to help resell grain, I don't think this matter is over." ”

Tan Shishi: "Don't let Lu Xu take the boat now." ”

Qiu Hu snorted, "The river is not their Song family's. ”

He wanted to fish, but Song San didn't dare to say a word.

Liang Shubao glanced at them and pushed Tan Shishi.

Tan Shishi: "Lu Xu wants to take our boat, he now pushes a cart to Guanyang every day, and he has to walk three or four hours back and forth on the mountain road, I can talk to him, I think he is good, like us mountain people, anyway, we agreed to pick him up in the morning." ”

Qiu Hu was stunned for a moment, "He still dares to sit?" ”

Uncle Tan muttered unhappily, "People have to sit every day." ”

Qiu Hu laughed loudly, "Then you let him sit!" ”

Uncle Tan: "He wants to give money, shall we accept it?" ”

Qiu Hu: "Since it's a friend, I won't accept it." ”

Uncle Tan: "He said to give 200 Wen back and forth." ”

Qiu Hu was quite surprised, "Two hundred texts? Shubao, what does he do for a living, and he makes a lot of money? ”

Liang Shubao explained in detail how Lu Xu sold snails in Guanyang, how he sold fritters, and now he sells cold vegetables.

The Qiu family's brothers who sell coolies for a living were stunned when they heard this, why is it so easy for people to make money? !

The next day, before dawn, Lu Xu went to the river to wait for Uncle Tan's boat.

There are few fishing boats in Lujia Village, the river is muddy, and it is difficult to move the cart, Lu Xu is also idle, putting the cart in a dry place, picking up stones from the roadside and stacking them on the shore, striving to slowly pile up a small wharf day after day.

Uncle Tan approached with a lantern, Tan Shishi saw Lu Xu first, and called him at the bow of the boat, "Lu Xu?!" ”

Lu Xu: "It's me!" ”

He went to the river to wash his hands, and the cart pressed the freshly paved stones to the river.

Tan Shishi jumped out of the boat and helped Lu Xu carry the cart up.

The cabin was already full of fish baskets and buckets, and the wheels of Lu Xu's cart were stuck in the middle of the buckets, but people could only sit at the bow of the boat.

Lu Xu picked up a basket of covered cloth from the cart, "The fried fritters and sugar cakes that were just fried in the morning, this is a leek box, the first time I made it, you can taste it." ”

Tan Shishi's round eyes widened, "Fritters?!" Give it to me? ”

Lu Xu: "Didn't I say I wanted to bring you something delicious?" ”

He first took the leek box and gave it to Tan Shishi, "The freshly cut leeks in my third aunt's vegetable garden are fresh, eat them while they are hot, and they are crispy." ”

Tan Shishi was at a loss, "I heard that the fritters are expensive." ”

Lu Xu: "Then you don't hurry up and eat, you don't need money to eat today." ”

Tan Shishi laughed, and bit it to see that there were still eggs!

He slurred his words and said: "My family only eats eggs during the New Year!" ”

Lu Xu smiled.

The third aunt gave him a handful of leeks, and didn't want Lu Xu to put in a lot of eggs, regretting it while frying it in the morning, and feeling distressed while eating.

Tan Shishi devoured a leek box, carried the basket to the stern of the boat and gave it to Uncle Tan to taste: "Uncle, you eat it quickly, it's fragrant!" ”

"You eat, you eat, I'm not hungry."

"I'll eat it, you can taste one quickly, and give the rest to Brother Big Tiger in a while."

Their uncle and nephew chatted, Lu Xu took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and put his feet in the water.

In the summer, you don't have to walk the mountain road in the morning, and it is so comfortable to be able to sit on the boat and soak your feet!

Tan Shishi also learned from him to sit down, "By the way, Brother Big Tiger said that we are friends and can't charge you for the boat." ”

Lu Xu: "My brother settles accounts, how can this work?" ”

Tan Shishi: "You wait for me to finish, Brother Big Tiger said, if you really want to give money, it is better to teach our brother how to trade, if our brother can open his mind, you don't need money to use mountain goods in the future." ”

Lu Xu: "......"

He believed it, the Qiu family is a real brother, the boss dislikes them so much, and the younger brothers are not only not ashamed, but also deeply so!

He had heard of Qiu Hu fighting on the streets with people before, and he had fought with Luo Shen, he always thought in his heart that Qiu Hu must be a tough guy with steel and iron bones, but he didn't want to, he was also a poor big brother who broke his heart for his brother!

Life, little brother, urge the hero to bend his waist!

The author has something to say:

Lu Xu: I feel sorry for each other inexplicably
