The blacksmith shop can put a few kitchen knives at the door, and people passing by will know that it is a blacksmith shop.

Wine shops and teahouses are different, some of them can build a shed at the fork in the road, and they can also buy some wine, and some have to spend a lot of money to hang a curtain signboard at the door, and finally those have to hang a few gilded characters, while doing business, they also show their power.

There are not a few wine shops and teahouses on the side of the post road in Hongsang County, where the family is full of big families, and the status of Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen and merchants are too low, and the famous families don't want to do business, and they don't want to do business, if they do, not only will they be scolded by the old people in the family, but also poke the backbone of their ancestors!

There is a strange thing in the nine counties of the Daqin Dynasty, some children born in big families whose ancestors have been officials for generations, even if they are so poor that they will not do business to make a living, and would rather wander in the market to ask for food, rather than dare to betray their ancestors in the number of classics.

Those poor scholars may also set up a small stall on the street, sell some couplets and other things and be embarrassed to shout, and use ink and pen clumsy, some are so poor that they will go to someone's door when someone dies, and they can change a meal if they cry a few times.

For the son of the family in trouble, whether it is a former friend, or those slaves who once crawled at his feet and waged their tails and begged for mercy, they will fall into the well with one move.

When the sons and gentlemen of rich and noble families meet loyal slaves, they will not only praise a few words, but even reward a maid with some silver money.

But those slaves and maids were loyal slaves and martyrs in the heyday of the master's family, and after the decline of the master's family, they became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This person, even if he is a slave or a maid, the big family comes out differently, and he doesn't say anything when he goes out to see anyone on weekdays, even if he is driven out, he can't look down on the peasant children who are digging in the fields.

What's more, after the old slaves who committed crimes in the yard were driven out with broken legs, Nizi, who was a good hand in the crop field, didn't look down on it, and she could pick and choose the fat and thin for the twenty-eight girls of those businessmen in the city.

In the village where the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, some young people with ideas have also thought about going out to do business, but the busy farming at home can tie them to the small mountain village of thousands of acres of land.

If those young people were stubborn and wanted to go out, the old people in the village would ask the family law to serve them, and they would not really beat them until they had missing arms and legs, but they extinguished the stubborn and burning ambition of the young descendants.

If it weren't for the farmer's style of being born in a family and a tolerant family, other people, it would not only be difficult to do business, but it would be small to lose their old life, and if they lost those dozens of acres of land, they would really not be able to live as a family.

When Liu Yi arrived at Fengling Mountain, it was the eighth day of June, and there were still more than 20 days before July.

Liu Yi hurriedly sold the horse after entering the Fengling Mountain, the inferior horse is naturally worthless in the eyes of experts, Liu Yi can only sell thirty-eight taels of silver after saying it, in order to fill his stomach, he is ready to continue to be the old business of the running boy.

People in two or three nearby counties heard the news that there was a martial arts event in Fengling Mountain, and many people with active minds were ready to take the opportunity to make a big profit, but from the small people to the small people in the shopping mall, the businessmen in the shopping malls did not understand what the people in the rivers and lakes needed, and most of them chose to set up stalls to sell equipment, or simply set up a temporary restaurant.

The boss is also a person who dares to gamble and dare to do, after knowing that there is a grand event in Fengling Mountain, he demolished the only tiled house in the family, rented two ox carts, pulled the tiles to build a small shed in this borderless land, and went into the wine and food, and asked to build a house, not only spent all his savings, but even the money that the second elder saved to marry his daughter-in-law was also deceived and spent, and finally thought that the small shop did not have a name, and cheekily went to ask the only old gentleman in the village who had been admitted to the child to write two words, first on credit, and returned the money after earning, the old man did not agree, and the small shop still has no signboard name, and the second old man in the family watched his son lose, and almost did not cry to death these days。

There is no signboard to build a small shop, and the boss has no experience in opening the door to do business, these days people have come and gone countless people in the rivers and lakes, the boss can only watch, snorting, if it is not for the boss often lying in the yard to sleep, his small shop is really a door.

The boss has been worried for the past few days, Liu Yi came to the door of the small shop and saw the boss lying on a big tree stick, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

Liu Yi asked, "Do you want to run away from the hall?"

The boss looked up at the uninvited guest and asked, "You think I need to run away?"

Liu Yi smiled: "You lost money in this deal." ”

The boss decided to become a dead horse doctor and asked, "How?"

Liu Yi said: "I'll tell you if you accept me as a buddy, just take care of the food." ”

The boss touched his belly and said, "Okay." "The boss thought that if he bought so much food, if no one ate it, it would be rotten, and it was very important whether the business was successful or not, not to mention that the old saying would be damned if you spoil the food.

Since that day, the two have been busy day and night, and Liu Yi has a character who loves to shout, usually shouting a few times on the road, and the guests came, and the business of the small shop is getting better and better day by day.

I heard that my son's business was done, and the second elder lamented that the family style was not right, but in fact, he was very happy, and he brought a large bag to his son, ready to come to the small shop to help, but he didn't expect his son not to let the second elder help, not the kind of meaning full of filial piety, but to refuse the request of the second elder.

Liu Yi asked, "Why don't you ask your father and mother to help?"

The boss thought about it, but still replied: "The two of them can come, tomorrow my brother and sister-in-law can come, my brother and sister-in-law can come, and my cousin and sister-in-law can also come the day after tomorrow. ”

Liu Yi thought of a compromise and asked the second elder to shout at the guests on the road, but this was also difficult, the small shop had no name, and the second elder didn't know how to shout, Liu Yi and the boss simply planted a big stump outside the store, and just shouted.

These days, there are guests eating and drinking during the day, and there are a few people staying in the hotel at night, the boss is happy in his heart, he is busy day and night, he is tired unconsciously, and he has to cut a few wooden boards to make tables and stools, and he has to cook, the day before yesterday, there are guests who dislike the small shop at night is too noisy, after the two are busy during the day, they simply lift the wooden stick to the distance at night and then repair it, and make tables, chairs and benches.

On June 18, the business of the small shop became more and more popular, and the boss discussed: "Liu Yi, you said that you are also so clever, or after the matter, how much money do you make, I will get six points, how about you get four points?"

Liu Yi smiled: "What do you do in this business, ......" and then nodded.

Liu Yi estimated that this event would be hot until the end of August, and instructed the boss to rent seven or eight ox carts, and prepare to go home to borrow the altars and jars, bowls, chopsticks and tiles of relatives and neighbors, and build a few big sheds.

The shop rehired three guys, and found two good-faced women to go to the road to shout at the guests, now the boss is very busy, everything must bow down, when the boss rests, Liu Yi went to talk to him, talk about his thoughts, it's almost time to write a signboard, this has no signboard, rich heroes will not settle down, if they don't come, they can only fight for hard money.

Jianghu Erlang, few people are full of food, the whole family is not hungry, most people mix the rivers and lakes just want to mix out of the way, Liu Yi let the second elder go to the road to shout, thinking is to win the sympathy of the rangers in the rivers and lakes, the rangers see the second elders, they will also think of their parents in their hometowns, the business is half, and some rangers come to the store to see, shop around, the food and accommodation here are cheap, and the business is done.

There are also those new people who come out to mingle with the rivers and lakes, if you don't shout, they will be embarrassed to enter the door, and as soon as you shout, they will also half-push and half-enter the door.

Liu Yi is idle and likes to lie on the simple counter and listen to what the diners say.

Some people talk about the things of Baili Qingqing, as if they have seen it in person, such as a few treasures.

There are also ambitious little rangers who sigh: "It's a pity that I don't have the ability to use the sword to understand the mysteries, otherwise I would have to set aside this day and let the children of the rivers and lakes in the world sing and let me make my appearance wonderful, just like a hundred years ago." ”

The others shouted and let out bursts of laughter, "If I didn't look away, you kid is carrying a knife, do you think that a knife is not as good as a sword in your heart?"

The little ranger was not embarrassed, and defended: "I'm just talking about it, what do you mean by practicing this sword, if it weren't for the recent Baili Qingqing, I'm afraid you would all have to change your sword practice." ”

The diners at the table continued to joke, "The hero is right, if the knife is not learned, you can go to be a woodcutter who chops wood, if the sword is not practiced, the discordant is also the same as the sour show, it is useless, the hero is calculating, and he has thought of a way out." ”

Liu Yi met an old acquaintance, Meng Yanchen of Sword Gall City, after Meng Yanchen saw Liu Yi, he approached with his fists clasped and laughed: "Young Master Liu is really interested!"

Liu Yi chuckled and asked, "You Meng Yanchen are rich and rich, don't you also settle here?"

Meng Yanchen said with a smile: "Don't you have a few dollars left, just come and have a good time, you can meet Liu Gongzi, it's really not where you don't meet!"

Liu Yi said: "Find a place to sit by yourself, and I'll ask someone to pour you tea." ”

Meng Yanchen was amazed: "Does Liu Gongzi think it's boring to be a running hall and become a boss?"

Liu Yi ha: "Be a fart boss and just help." ”

Meng Yanchen said: "I won't drink the tea, and a few old acquaintances have also come to join in the fun, and after meeting Liu Gongzi, I will also go to meet him." ”

Liu Yi said: "Boss Meng has a heart, and he is going to make you a cup of tea, and then collect a ten-tael-eighty-tael coil, get out!"

Meng Yanchen laughed and left in a hurry, Liu Yi was a little worried that the round Meng Yanchen would roll as he walked, lying on the counter and laughing, and the few people who spoke before looked at him with a curious expression.

In the busy, the days have passed to June 27, the small shop ushered in two guests, one is Du Heli of the Hebi Sword Sect, dressed in black is more cold, holding the quaint high-roller sword lining up more and more high, after sitting down, I asked for two ordinary side dishes, and there is a body similar to Du Heli, wearing a cotton white robe, the facial features are more handsome than Du Heli, worthy of the four characters of Yushu Linfeng, and the long sword, the sword body is extremely narrow and long, it is under the willow, no one sleeps the Mianliu Sword, I don't want anything to eat, just a pot of wine.

Liu Yi served Du Heli two side dishes, and Du Heli exclaimed: "Where do you not meet in life, you can meet here, it can be regarded as your third life." ”

Liu Yi replied: "No way, after your kid is gone, Lao Tzu is tired." ”

Du Heli said with a smile: "I can see it, without Lao Tzu as a thug for you, Wang Xiaoer's New Year is not as good as a year." ”

The young man with the wine looked at the two suspiciously, Du Heli laughed, pointed at Liu Yi and said, "Liu Yi, the next-door neighbor of the Hebi Sword Sect. ”

Then Du Heli pointed to the young man and said: "Xie Sanqiu, what is that in Changchu Palace, the sword is okay." ”

Xie Sanqiu snorted coldly and took a sip of wine.

Liu Yi said: "Lao Tzu is busy first, and after earning money, please have a good meal." ”

Du Heli snorted and said, "How embarrassing this is." ”

Liu Yi said as he walked, "Are you embarrassed?"

Du Heli laughed, snatched the wine jar in Xie Sanqiu's hand, and said after taking a sip: "Profiteer, mix it with water." ”

Liu Yi spread his hands and said, "Uncle, I can't invite you to dinner like this, don't get along with yourself if you can't get along with me?"

Du Heli said three times in a row, "Good wine, good wine, good wine!" and then said in a low voice: "The sword heart is covered with dust!"

Xie Sanqiu looked at this peer with a strange face, thinking that Du He couldn't support the wall from the mud, he was very tired, and he picked up the sword and swordsmanship together.

Du Heli smiled and asked, "Xie Sanqiu, what's silly?"

Xie Sanqiu poured a bowl of wine, took a sip and said: "The benevolent man is happy with the mountain, and the wise man is happy with the water." ”

Du Heli moved the wine jar to the edge of the table and said with a smile: "Drinking like a girl, with a sword in your hand, and pretending to be a scholar, you are also very tired." ”
