Others: Mutton hot pot!

Lu Xu: What kind of mutton to eat in summer, the sheep is so thin, wait until I get fatter! (Start reckoning)

Chapter 128: Departure

After eating, Lu Xu went home and took the money, and gave money to the crew of the disarmament soldiers he recruited one by one.

Lu Xu gave half of their honorarium before departure, and the remaining half is now paid.

They took the money, you pushed me, I pushed you, and finally pushed the big man who sat closest to Lu Xu during the meal and talked a few times.

The big man looked at Lu Xu with a red face, and looked at Lu Xu inexplicably.

"What's wrong?" Wrong money? Lu Xu counted it three times, could it be that he was wrong?

The big man pondered for a while, "Boss, oh, Lu is in charge." ”

Lu Xu almost choked, there was only one word difference between Lu Dongjia and Lu Dangjia, and he instantly became a little more fierce, he hurriedly straightened his body and put on a little majesty, "You say." ”

The big man said shyly, "Is the new caravan full?" Our brothers can also go by land, and we also know the land route, can we follow the caravan again? ”

Lu Xu was stunned: "Of course you are willing to follow me, but the caravan is about to leave, didn't you just come back, don't you have to go home to rest?" ”

Lu Xu chatted with Lu Qing and Liang Shanbao for a long time, without mentioning them at all, and said that he was cooperating with the Luo County Lieutenant's family, and that he had recruited people, which made them very weak-hearted.

Big man: "Isn't it a few days before the wheat is finished?" Enough rest. ”

"When I go back, I don't have a room at home, and I have to squeeze a bed with a few nephews, and I have to fall down every night, and they don't want to squeeze with me."

"My family is similar, I'm embarrassed."

"Yes, I haven't done my filial piety outside for so many years, and I asked my father and mother to build a house when I came back, which is unreasonable."

"My brothers and sisters said that they would pay for me to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, but I was not embarrassed to ask for it."

"Let's make two more trips, save some money, build a house and rest."

They were talking nonsense, and Lu Xu gradually became speechless as he listened.

These dozens of people, generally have a few years to ten years of military experience, they are all around 30 years old, and they are still in the prime of life, but they are no longer young in this era, if there were no twists and turns in their lives, they should have ploughed their hometowns and raised children, but now, they are struggling to make a living.

Lu Xu looked at them and couldn't help but look at the second uncle again.

The second uncle sat by the wall and ate noodles with his head bored, his head buried deeply, chewing very slowly, and he didn't say anything.

Lu Xu didn't know what he was thinking.

He guessed that the second uncle probably didn't want to interfere with Lu Xu's business because of him.

Lu Xu didn't think it was so complicated, he lacked people, especially people who were willing to entrust their hopes to him.

The caravan may collapse, and he may fail them, but it hasn't reached that point yet, and Lu Xu doesn't want to think about things so desperately.

If you have too many debts, you don't have to worry, whether it's money or favors, he's numb anyway.

He does not lack creditors, but those who dare to lend to him.

Those thoughtful shippers did not trust him, and it was understandable that the Luo family and the people he recruited were willing to trust him, and he was grateful.

The way he can repay this trust is nothing more than success, making money, and making every companion profitable.

Lu Xu believed he could do it.

There is a demand in the north, he has the goods in his hands, and all he lacks is the courage to take risks and some luck.

He thinks he's lucky, and he's got a head of recipes that he can trade for money.

Big deal, one poor and two white.

At that time, he will go to hug Hanlu and Xiaoxia's thighs, talk to them again about dividends, and ask them to give this big brother more money.

After they finished speaking, they all looked at Lu Xu with some apprehension, and Lu Xu had already wandered around for a long time.

He has always been resolute about the caravan, but in the end he is not confident enough, and he also needs others to give him confidence. After all, such a behemoth, if it doesn't work, will drag down his entire net worth.

These people may just want to find an owner who is willing to accept them to make some hard-earned money, but their trust gives Lu Xu a lot of confidence.

Just like those mountain people are Qiu Hu's confidence, these people who are willing to follow him to the north are also his confidence.

Look, there are dozens of people who beckoned him, and hundreds of people were willing to follow him to endure hardships and work hard.

Lu Xu thought that when he met Qiu Hu again now, he would definitely be able to cherish each other even more.

Lu Xu smiled: "Okay, as long as you are willing to follow me, I am willing to use you, I will use you for as long as you are willing to follow me, I can't guarantee anything else, but no matter what you lose, I will not give you a penny less." ”

After speaking, Lu Xu paused, and gave himself a little childish cheer to himself, cheering everyone up: "This road is not easy to walk, let's work together!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and they all laughed.

Lu Xu made an appointment with them to meet at a time, asked them for their addresses, and asked them to ask if there were any people in the village who wanted to sell grain, and if they did, they would go to the nearest purchase point to find him.

In the evening, Lu Xu cooked for the second uncle and Liang Shanbao to pick up the wind and wash the dust, today is not a day off, Lu Zhou went to school, Yuan Manniang opened a shop, and he didn't bring back Layue and Lu Rui.

He was alone at home, so he simply asked the second uncle and Liang Shanbao to squeeze at him.

There was no one at night, and Lu Xu asked Qiu Hu about the details of their relationship in the north, and they chatted until late at night before they gradually fell asleep.

The next day, Lu Xu took Liang Shanbao to the mountain, and the eight families on the mountain were even more overjoyed when they saw him, and they asked more than once, sighing again and again.

Seeing that the eight of them are now living comfortably in Lujia Village, Liang Shanbao is also relieved.

They also know that these families are different from others, if it weren't for the fact that the whole village moved to the mountain and it was not safe, they probably wouldn't have come down the mountain, and now they have changed to live on the mountain, and they don't know how to feel.

However, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, it is more convenient to go down the mountain than their hometown, and Lu Xu takes care of him, so he is finally relieved, and he can go back and explain to Qiu Hu.

At noon, he didn't go down the mountain, he had a meal with the villagers on the mountain, and in the afternoon, he went down the mountain to help and repaired the sheepfold for Lu Xu.

Lu Xu's ambition to raise chickens has been preliminarily completed, and now the chickens in spring have the appearance of big chickens, and they are no longer fluffy and cute, and they have to be careful to trample them to death when they work nearby.

After staying in the huge fence for a long time, these chickens gradually developed some wild nature, and when they saw people, they would hide, run fast, and peck and peck at themselves every day to find insects to eat, and they would not honestly return to their cages until the evening.

Thanks to Lu Xu's plan to raise chickens in a big fence, there will be a place for the sheep to put them when they come, otherwise the barren mountains and mountains will not let go, and if they run into the mountains, they may not be able to find any beasts cheaper.

His three mountains, the closest to the village, and the best sight, were trimmed by him, and the beasts were not easy to hide, and rarely came here.

The other two have recently started to cut down trees, cutting down those that don't grow well, as well as secondary miscellaneous trees, to build passages up the mountain, and to mark wild walnut trees, persimmon trees, and the like.

After all the exploration is completed, Lu Xu plans to gather these trees together, and it will be another income in the autumn.

The sheep were grazing together, looking a little more energetic than before.

Liang Shanbao asked, "I heard that you are going to make a mutton pot?" ”

Lu Xu: "It's too hot, it's not suitable to eat mutton at this time, let's raise it first, and then kill them when they get fatter." ”

Liang Shanbao smiled: "Okay, then I will sell you at the original price plus one percent!" ”

Lu Xu: "No problem! By the way, tell me what you are mainly lacking, what I purchased this time is mainly oil, salt, cloth and other things for daily use, you see if there is anything that needs to be added, I will hurry up and buy ......"

The two of them were working in the mountains while they were on the bill.

This year's summer harvest weather is not as good as last year, cloudy and sunny day, fortunately there is no rain, farmers are nervous to grasp the harvest, for fear that a rain will ruin most of the hard work of half a year.

The wheat is harvested, dried, bagged, paid taxes, and sold grain.

As in previous years, he was extremely skilled.

This year's grain tax is really low, still only twenty-one, the villagers will prepare the grain in advance in one day, Lu Xu finally got the approval, can be open to the grain harvest.

He had set up stalls for grain collection in the eight villages he had agreed with before, and the other villages also asked the cooperative grocery stores to help collect the grain on their behalf, and he sent boats to collect them every day.

The price of grain given by Lu Xu is the same as that of other grain merchants, but because of the good reputation of the Guanyang Alliance, he does not have to send it far away, and his grain collection process is quite good.

The owners of the grocery stores who cooperated with the Guanyang Alliance have been mixing for a long time, and they have gradually developed the habit of choosing vegetables and taking care of goods, collecting grain for Lu Xu, and they will check for him, whether there is any old grain, whether the wheat is dried, whether there is germination and mold, mixed with stones and sand, etc.

You must know that their shop is almost zero cost to rely on the Guanyang Alliance, but now they can rely on the shop to support their families, everyone will cherish this business, they don't want to provoke the Guanyang Alliance because of food problems, and they are afraid that the Guanyang Alliance will think that they have done something in the middle, and the inspection is more detailed than Lu Xu's grain harvest.

invisibly saved Lu Xu a lot of labor money.

Other grain merchants have to send special people to keep an eye on the quality of grain when they collect grain, and if they accidentally mix in moldy grain, they will pollute a large area of grain.

When the food is collected, it is time to set off.

Lu Xu counted, all the personnel he recruited were all there, the unified carts were covered with thick straw mats to protect from the rain, the grain carts were pulled by mules, and the others still relied on manpower.

More than 200 people lined up neatly and set off from the north gate of Guanyang County.

This time, Lu Xu is also going.

This is the travel he advocates, and all the people and horses are almost persuaded by him, but he just doesn't go, and he can't say it.

The Lu family knew that Lu Xu was talking about it and he couldn't go away, it was difficult to convince people, and others would not work hard for him.

He invested so much money and so much effort in this business, and if he didn't go, he wouldn't be at ease.

Although the family was worried, Second Uncle Lu had already walked by, and they were surprisingly many people this time, so they didn't persuade them to stop them.

This time, the second uncle went with him.

Before parting, Lu Hui's brothers got together for dinner with him to reassure him.

"The business will be handed over to me and the third brother, and the village will be handed over to the second brother, eldest brother, don't worry!" Lu Wen said extremely heroically, and gave Lu Xu a cup of tea with a posture of serving wine.

Lu Xu told him that drinking alcohol affects his growth, and the child was so scared that he didn't even dare to taste rice wine.

Lu Hui said shyly: "Big brother, don't worry, I will raise you in the fields, mountains, and cattle and sheep." ”

Lu Xu: "Okay, it's up to you." ”

He turned his head and instructed Lu Xuan again: "I'm not here, you often go to the dessert shop to shop, so that there are bastard boys who watch Hanlu and their young people go to find trouble." ”

Lu Xuan: "Don't worry. ”

Lu Xu nodded.

He also said hello to Luo Shen and will take care of his family for him.

For Lu Zhou, Lu Xu only instructed him: "Study hard in class, rest well after school, and stay up less late at night, otherwise you are not as old as me, and you will have to be short-sighted and unable to see clearly." ”

Lu Zhou nodded: "I will take care of A-Niang and my younger brothers and sisters." ”

Lu Xu touched his head.
