Chapter 13: Old Mo Tavern
"Still don't agree? Lao Mo didn't drink, he put down the glass and said.
Song Lanjiang nodded and refused to join the Lao Mo family, in fact, Song Lanjiang knew that if he promised Lao Mo, he would definitely be much better off than now, but the debts of the year could not be repaid, and Song Lanjiang was unwilling to owe Lao Mo a favor.
Song Lanjiang picked up the baby girl again and picked up the goat's milk, he wanted to leave.
"Do you want this baby to grow up from snacks and what you stole?" Lao Mo saw that Song Lanjiang was going to leave again, so he had to let out cruel words.
Song Lanjiang paused for a moment, stopped the action of leaving, and unconsciously coaxed the baby girl with both hands, and Lao Mo's words went to his heart.
"You don't want to join my family, but do you want this baby to grow up to be a thief with you, and then be caught and killed or sold?"
"..........." Song Lanjiang sat down again and stared at Lao Mo.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, do you know what I do in this tavern?"
"Sell alcohol. Song Lanjiang replied.
"Selling alcohol is only one aspect. Lao Mo said, walked slowly to the back of the counter, and took out two parchment rolls from a box.
"Back then, I asked the craftsmen of the Central Plains to imitate the tavern in the style of Gusu in the Central Plains and build this two-story tavern. Lao Mo stroked his beard and smiled, he continued, "Everyone yearns for the richness of the Central Plains, and when they see the tavern I built with a lot of money, they feel stable when they do business with me."
Moreover, the people of the Central Plains who come from the east and go to the west are willing to come to me to spend money. Lao Mo Tavern Yilan is the first business in the city. ”
"I don't understand," Song Lanjiang replied very truthfully.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you can take a look at this first. Lao Mo put the parchment roll he took out on the table and motioned for Song Lanjiang to look at it.
"Hmm. Song Lanjiang picked up the parchment scroll with one hand and saw that it was densely written with Central Plains characters.
"The news that all the merchants in Yilan City are looking for helpers every day is written in this volume. After Lao Mo finished speaking, he paused and sat down to take a sip of wine, and then continued proudly,
"Not everyone in Yilan City can go to the merchant to get a job, the tavern will make a guarantee to issue a guarantee, and the merchant will give you a job with the farewell, and the salary will come to the tavern to receive it, and you are not afraid that the merchant will not give you money. ”
Song Lanjiang's eyes lit up, it was not that Song Lanjiang had not tried to find a merchant to help him for so many years, but first, he was young, and the merchant was afraid that he would not have the strength. The second is that he doesn't have a household registration, plus he looks thin and no one uses him, and he doesn't want to give money if he wants to use him, so Song Lanjiang has lived like a rat in a ditch for so many years, otherwise who wants to be a thief with his life.
"Another parchment scroll is amazing, and the bounty bonuses issued by the Metropolitan Protectorate and the cities outside the Saiwai in order to ensure peace outside the Saiwai are all written here. Lao Mo said.
Song opened another larger parchment scroll and found that it was wrapped in a dozen pieces of yellow paper, each with a portrait painted on it, and a name, a bounty, and some should have committed some crimes, as well as characteristics.
Song Lanjiang was not very literate, and he barely read and read the contents of the two parchment scrolls, and the helpers in the city were generally the laborers who quarried, mined, and transported, and they also took the money of a few copper plates a day, and the list of rewards and bonuses ranged from dozens of silver to hundreds of gold is vivid.
Song Lanjiang reluctantly tied up the two parchment rolls and put them back on the table.
Lao Mo saw Song Lanjiang's rare expression of eagerness, felt that the heat was almost over, and said, "Stubborn boy, do you want to make money cleanly." ”
Song Lanjiang didn't want to answer, but his body was honest, and Song Lanjiang couldn't control himself for a while and nodded heavily.
"Then you agree to join Lao Mo's family. Lao Mo asked.
Song Lanjiang did not hesitate this time and shook his head vigorously.
".......," Lao Mo pondered, "Well, I don't want you to join my family, I'm so busy here, you will come to the tavern every day to help pay off my debts." Don't pay the salary, you don't care about it, well, and the little baby's goat's milk. For every five days, I'll pick you a helper, and you can earn two days' wages. “
After listening to Song Lanjiang, his mind repeatedly reflected the rice, goat's milk, and helpers to make money, and then thought of what Lao Mo said that he didn't need to join the family, Song Lanjiang thought about it and nodded with the action of coaxing the child, he felt that Lao Mo should know what kind of spell, it could make him involuntarily forget to calm down, if the business was so prosperous, well, Lao Mo should know spells.
"I don't read much, don't lie to me. Song Lanjiang responded seriously.
"Stubborn boy, how could Lao Mo lie to you, who doesn't know what I Lao Mo said is as heavy as gold, you have to agree to come to the tavern to help when you hear the rooster crowing tomorrow." Lao Mo looked at Song Lanjiang with a smile and said.
"Okay. Song Lanjiang saw that Lao Mo had already said to such an extent, and he himself was sincerely moved, so he agreed.
"Stubborn boy, that's right. Hahaha. As he spoke, Lao Mo took a sip of grape wine.
"How did you pick up this girl?" asked Lao Mo curiously.
"......." Song Lanjiang looked at Lao Mo silently and did not speak.
"Don't ask, don't ask, don't be so cold to Lao Mo, I'm just curious. Have you thought about what to do in the future?" Lao Mo said with a headache, obviously he was already Song Lanjiang's employer, and this kid's attitude did not ease at all.
"Raised...."Song Lanjiang's voice replied a little softly.
"Have you thought about how to raise it in the future?" asked Lao Mo as he looked at Song Lanjiang's expression very carefully.
"I didn't think about it...."Song Lanjiang reached honestly.
"Don't talk about how to feed this baby, can you protect her when she grows up? Lao Mo said to Song Lanjiang earnestly.
"......" Song Lanjiang heard Lao Mo's words, hugged the little baby girl tightly with one hand, and pressed the worn-out homemade knife under the cloak with the other hand, looking so unconfident.
"Stubborn boy, you have lived in a dangerous environment since you were a child, and you are used to the dangers around you. Lao Mo continued.
Song Lanjiang didn't reply after listening to it, he needed to think about what Lao Mo said, and many of what Lao Mo said was something he didn't realize in the past.
The outside of the tavern was bustling again, and while Lao Mo and Song Lanjiang were talking, Ibu and the warriors had already captured the people behind Aziz and came to the door of the tavern.
@族长, haha, we've got someone!"
Before the Ibu had entered the door, the voice of the voice came.
There was a "bang", and I saw a man who was tied up by five flowers thrown into the middle of the tavern by Eevee.
