Qiu Hu laughed loudly, "They all told me that you are smart and capable, and you are the best at talking, and when I looked at it today, it was really so, no, more than that, I didn't expect Brother Lu that you are also good." ”

Lu Xu: "It's definitely not okay to compare with our brothers, it's okay to beat up an embroidered pillow like Song Liu." ”

Qiu Hu smiled even more heartily.

Lu Xu showed off the muscles on his arm: "I also want to thank him, let me walk over the mountains and mountains every day, what I have practiced over the years is the real power, he sits in the casino every day to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, how to compare with me." ”

He laughed again, "If I meet you, Brother Tiger, I will definitely admit defeat first." Speaking of which, thanks to Brother Tiger and his brothers, I dared to clean up Song Liu today, and I had a good breath of evil. ”

Qiu Hu: "Without me today, I think you can cure him." ”

Lu Xu: "Me? If I could cure him myself, would I have to endure it for so long? I'll tell you the truth, I've broken more than a dozen pairs of shoes! ”

Qiu Hu: "Didn't you have Luo Ye to support you?" ”

Lu Xu: "Brother Luo? ”

He turned around in his heart, and he was really afraid of officials, and Qiu Hu was also afraid of Luo Shen.

He explained calmly: "Brother Luo naturally doesn't need to say it, he is righteous and mighty, it is not easy for me to support my family, and he always takes care of me, but he has so many things to worry about, how can he always trouble him?" ”

He briefly said how he met Luo Shen, and euphemistically expressed that he and Luo Shen are actually not related, and Luo Shen is not his backer, he is still a pitiful one, and he needs to hug Qiu Hu's thighs.

Qiu Hu didn't have so many eyes, and after listening to him, he was also embarrassed, "I don't want you to support your family at a young age." ”

He let out a long sigh, "I can't speak, don't mind." ”

Lu Xu: "No, although my father is gone, the family is harmonious, my younger siblings are cute, I am willing to be happy, and I don't feel hard." ”

Qiu Hu praised him a little more, "Yes, this is a manly man." ”

Lu Xu laughed.

He thought about it, and still said: "Brother Hu, today's matter, I'm afraid that the boat gang will not give up and will implicate you." ”

Qiu Hu: "Sooner or later." Without you, the boat gang and I would have had such a day sooner or later. ”

He pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, a look of sadness on his face.

Qiu Hu put down the repaired bench, patted his leg and said: "I, Qiu Hu, have no ability, and I have no intention of fighting with anyone, I just want my brothers to go down the mountain with me, and I will find food for them at the bottom of the mountain." The boat gang just occupies more geographical advantages than us, acts mean and ruthless, and can't see that I am powerful, but now I am polite, but Song Da and Song Er employed people in the state capital and took away the right-hand man of the boat gang, and Song San had to use our brothers. ”

"Even if he could use me, he was picky, and my brothers did the hardest work in the boat gang, and they got the least money. Now he resells grain, steals business outside, and uses my brothers as thugs. ”

Qiu Hu pinched the wood, and his anger could not be extinguished.

"Blame me, I don't have the ability to make a living, I have stupid strength, and my brothers can only follow me to sell coolies."

Lu Xu said in a low voice: "In that case, why didn't Brother Tiger take advantage of Song San's absence and the weakness of the Boat Gang and copy the bottom of the Boat Gang?" ”

Qiu Hu looked at him puzzled.

Lu Xu knew that Qiu Hu said this to him, and he wanted him to help come up with ideas.

He moved the bench and moved closer to Qiu Hu, "I have helped you many times, now you have people in your hands, boats, goods, and brothers can still endure hardships, so why don't you buy goods from the county seat and sell them in the village under Guanyang?" ”

Qiu Hu: "Can this work?" ”

Lu Xu: "Why not?" I'm afraid you don't know that the Song family started like this in the first place. ”

Qiu Hu: "I've heard of it, but now it's all cargo merchants who cooperate with the ship gang......"

Lu Xu: "Those merchants sell in the town, and they don't go into the village without a wharf at all." ”

Qiu Hu nodded, "It's just that I'm not afraid of your jokes, my brothers are not good at selling goods." ”

Lu Xu: "What's there, I'll teach them some words, and they just memorize them." ”

Qiu Hu was shocked, can it still be like this?

Lu Xu: "As long as it's cheap, there will always be people who buy it, after a long time, they are all familiar, how can there be anything that will not do business, who is sincere, who is cunning, everyone knows it in their hearts." When the left and right boats go to collect the fish, they are empty, and the goods are delivered to the dock first, and then they go to collect the fish, and there is no delay. ”

Qiu Hu nodded.

Lu Xu: "At the beginning, it didn't have to be large-scale, the fishing boat was sufficient, so I could transport some needlework, oil and salt, coarse and fine fabrics, farm tools and groceries, and collect some eggs and vegetables from the village, even if I didn't sell them, it was cheaper than buying them in the county." ”

Qiu Hu nodded again.

Lu Xu muttered to him, and recommended Qiu Hu to rent a small courtyard in each town, and live in a small courtyard for two or three people, usually unload and release goods, and also make a few small carts, pushing things to the village to sell. When you get acquainted, you can open a shop in town. Collect vegetables and eggs from the village, collect grain, and the supply is stable, and then open a small grocery store in the county, along with dry goods and mountain fruits.

If you think it is troublesome to sell your own goods, you can also find someone in the village to help them sell and receive goods, and they will supply them to their homes.

"The people in the village were afraid that they didn't have a lot of principal for a while, so at the beginning we would bear the cost, and we made money every day, in addition to the capital, at least half of our profits had to be paid, so that day by day, we could deepen our trust with each other, until they finished paying off the capital and had savings, and we would no longer pay on credit. Although this work does not make much money at the beginning, the elderly and children can do it, and I think there must be people who want to. ”

The village store is open!

Qiu Hu was stunned when he heard this.

Lu Xu: "If Brother Hu is busy for a while, it is better for my house to open it first and try it, anyway, Uncle Tan has to pick me up every day, I can make money, the effect is good, and then expand the scale." ”

Qiu Hu: "What's wrong with this?" ”

Lu Xu: "Don't worry, I said it casually, but I need a lot of principal, I can't figure it out for a while, you wait for me to go back to my neighbor's scholar to help calculate how much capital is needed." ”

Qiu Hu nodded repeatedly.

Talking to Lu Xu was a little more affectionate, quite a little bit of shallow words, "Brother Lu, you walk the mountain road every day, I Qiu Hu walked out of the mountain step by step with my feet, I went out of the mountain for the first time, walked for three days and three nights, walked to the city, the straw shoes wore out, and I carried a big bag for a day with my bare feet, earning thirty Wen." ”

Qiu Hu pulled out a rope from his neck, with a copper coin tied to it, "I didn't spend any of the thirty wen, so I made a chain and gave it to my sister and brothers." You don't know, my place is so poor that the imperial court doesn't bother to send people into the mountains to collect taxes, so it should be without us. We have a hard life, there is no flat land in the mountains, the wheat can not be planted, the snow is a mountain, it is difficult to enter and exit for several months, if anyone is sick, they can only boil hard, they can't survive, they can only be buried in the snow, and when the snow melts in the spring, they can only enter the soil well, and the girls in the village dream of marrying down the mountain. I, Qiu Hu, am not afraid of anything, as long as I can let them live a good life and make a living under the mountain, I dare to do anything. Don't worry, I, Qiu Hu, speak my word, don't say Song Liu, even Song Da and Song Er, we are not afraid of him. ”

Lu Xu was speechless.

He always thought that he was already miserable, but he didn't expect that there was such a place.

If he crosses such a deep mountain, does he have the ability to break out like Qiu Hu?

He can't.

He couldn't bear that hardship.

Even if he breaks out, he will definitely not go back like Qiu Hu, and he must bring everyone in the village out.

He stood up and solemnly hugged his fist at Qiu Hu, "Brother Hu, I Lu Xu admires you, I don't have any ability, only a little cleverness, I can use it in the future, I will definitely do my best!" ”

The author has something to say:

Lu Xu: A true hero must be able to do housework!

Qiu Hu: You're right. (I knitted a pair of straw sandals)

Lu Xu: (It's a skill that can't be) I lost.

The two sides threw a sympathy at each other.

Chapter 46: Reckoning

"You just worshiped Qiu Hu like this?"

"Hmm!"

Yan Junqi was a little stunned for a while.

Lu Xu was proud and dared to do anything, but when he went home after doing it, he felt that he was too middle two and was a little embarrassed.

Twist and pinch and Yan Junqi said, "I only told you." ”

Yan Junqi nodded.

Qiu Hu knew that he had a reputation like a gangster outside, and Lu Xu's family was orphaned and widowed, so he didn't want to come to the door, but only wrapped a gift for Lu Xu to bring back for his younger brothers and sisters to taste.

"I heard that Qiu Hu himself eats coarse grains and mixed noodles, and he also bought a lot of gifts for Lu Zhou and Layue."

Yan Junqi nodded, no, he needed to help settle the accounts, and he got a good piece of paper and a good ink.

Lu Xu: "I look at him for righteousness, and I admire people who dare to act and act bravely. ”

Yan Junqi nodded: "Well, you are so." ”

Lu Xu was even happier.

Others praise him for being able to speak, but as soon as he speaks, others know that he is deliberately saying good things, Jun Qi is powerful, and praising him has always been very true and useful.

Lu Xu cocked his tail, "You don't know, his brothers are jealous of me, so sour that I don't even need to put vinegar in cold dishes!" ”

Yan Junqi couldn't help but laugh too.

"Quickly help me calculate, how much will it cost to open a commissary?"

"Hmm."

Yan Junqi didn't know why he called the small grocery store a commissary, but he called it, and it sounded quite cute, so he listed all the goods that Lu Xu said, how much he wanted to buy, how to match it cost-effectively, what to ask for less and more, and how to price it......

He listed three pieces of paper, and he didn't faint yet, so he made Lu Xu dizzy first.

"No, it's too much. Subtract again. ”

"Okay."

Lu Xu ate at his house at night, and stayed for another night.

He and Yan Junqi stayed up for half the night before they came up with a plan.

Yan Junqi copied it and read it to him one by one.

After listening to it once, Lu Xu was able to repeat it.

Yan Junqi always felt that Lu Xu was literate, but he didn't seem to be literate. Whenever he felt that Lu Xu was an unforgettable genius, Lu Xu turned his head and mispronounced simple words.

He pondered and didn't understand, he simply didn't want to, and taught over and over again, encouraging Lu Xu to recognize and write.

Lu Xu's brain was a mess, and he wrote big characters in nightmares at night, and his hand was about to be broken, and Yan Junqi always looked at him with such expectation.

Lu Xu broke out in a cold sweat, and muttered in his dreams, "Junqi, I won't write." "I don't take exams!" "Get the book away!"

Yan Junqi couldn't help laughing, looking at Lu Xu's unstable face in his sleep by the moonlight outside the window, if he was exquisitely painted, I don't know if he could record this moment.

When Lu Xu was settling accounts, Qiu Hu was also calculating.

But unlike Lu Xu and Yan Junqi who wrote on paper, no one of them was literate, so they took out the money and simply spread out the numbers. Ten taels in a pile, count how many piles, how much is expected to be used to buy goods, and then move out from the total, this pile, that pile, a group of people are dizzy, and it doesn't take long to forget what this pile is for, what that pile is for.

"Brother Hu, I think we have to find an accounting room."

"We can't read what the account office writes."
