Chapter 57: The Problem

Upstairs in Juxian, Liu Hongzhe took Li Meng and the little fat man to sit down by the window. This is the second floor, condescending, watching all living beings, there is a feeling of refreshment and superiority. The little fat man was unusually today, and in the face of a large table of sumptuous wine and food, he was very strange that he did not use his two stunts of "gobbling up" and "windswept clouds". The little fat man looked a little shy, and secretly swallowed his saliva to control his appetite. The two people here today, one is an elder, and the other is a beautiful little sister who just met. The little fat man couldn't bear to let the great image he had so hard set up be ruined in this banquet in an instant. Therefore, the little fat man endured the cry of the greedy worms in his stomach, and did not eat and drink in disregard of his image as usual.

Eating in small mouths is a kind of torment for the little fat man. Liu Hongzhe is a master of cultivating immortals, so he doesn't have to eat much. Li Meng is a little girl, and she can't eat much. It's a pity that a little fat man, guarding a large table of delicacies, can only eat in small bites. The pain in this, the tortured little fat is really like crying on the ground.

"By the way, senior brother, what are you doing in Lianyun City?, why haven't I seen you before?" Li Meng asked casually as he took a small bite of food.

"This ......" The little fat man was speechless for a while, he didn't expect his junior sister's question to come so suddenly, he hadn't thought about it yet, whether to announce his identity! Thinking of this, the little fat man smiled and said, "I'm in the yamen, doing a quick catch, I just came the day before yesterday." ”

"What?" Li Meng was taken aback when he heard this, he couldn't have imagined that his senior brother was a person who cultivated immortals, how could he go to the yamen and do things for the government.

Seeing Li Meng's surprise, the little fat man's heart was also gloomy. So, he told the story of the incident. Although the little fat man's words were plain, Li Meng heard that his senior brother had intersected with the legendary beasts such as the nine-tailed demon fox and the black dragon, and he couldn't help but change color with his gorgeous face, and his heart was excited and uneven.

After the little fat man finished speaking, Li Meng understood why the little fat man was committed to catching fast in the yamen. Li Meng looked apologetic and said to the little fat man: "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I reminded you of sad things again." ”

"It's okay, little sister. The little fat man smiled. After so many things, the little fat man has already seen it. In the world, people are nothing more than to live. As long as you can eat enough, it is the same everywhere.

Liu Hongzhe was very relieved to see that the little fat man could see it, he didn't speak beside him, poured himself a drink, and listened to the chat with the young men and women.

The little fat man knew a little about the little junior sister's Yihehui, and was very curious about their usual life, and asked: "Little junior sister, what do the people under your command usually rely on to survive?"

The little fat man's words hit the deepest pain in Li Meng's heart, although Li Meng had dozens of people under him. However, these ** are some homeless wandering teenagers. It can be said that they are all people who have no life skills, so they are reduced to the streets and live those cheating and abduction lives. Li Meng lowered his head, a trace of sadness appeared on his pretty face, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "On weekdays, I can only rely on some opportunism to get some meager income. ”

"Mengmeng, if you go on like this, it's not a long-term way to survive!" Liu Hongzhe, who had not spoken, raised his eyebrows when he heard the words of his apprentice, and said.

The little fat man is very sympathetic to Li Meng's experience, although she has a good cultivation, but after all, she is just an ignorant and ignorant flower girl, and she can't think of any way to make everyone eat her stomach. was forced to have no choice but to live by abduction. The little fat man had the heart to help his junior sister, but he tilted his head and racked his brains to find a way. When the little fat man saw the fried chicken wings on the table, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed, "There you have it!"

Liu Hongzhe and Li Meng were stunned when they heard the little fat man screaming, and the two asked in unison, "What's there?"

Only then did the little fat man realize that he was a little out of shape, his face was a little unbearable, he scratched the back of his head, and said, "I have thought of a way to make the people under the little junior sister self-sufficient." ”

When Li Meng heard the words of the fat senior brother, the willow eyebrows were lightly raised, the phoenix eyes were wide, and he asked anxiously, "What way?"

Although Liu Hongzhe didn't ask Xiaopang like Li Meng, from his expectant eyes, he obviously hoped that Xiaopang could solve the problem of his apprentice, who had not seen him for many years.

The little fat man suddenly had a sense of the heavy responsibility of carrying Mount Tai, as if he couldn't solve Li Meng's problem. He became a sinner through the ages. The little fat man said with sincere fear: "I am also hot-headed, and I don't know if the solution I came up with is feasible or not." ”

Li Meng said: "Senior brother, you just say it. Whether it succeeds or not, my sister is grateful to you. ”

The question that the little fat man said is indeed the number one problem of the Yihe Society now. In the past, these Boxers were still young, and the money they had deceived was enough for themselves to eat and drink. Now, many people in the gang have grown up, and the girls can't wear as tattered as before, and they have to get married. If you want to get married, you have to put on makeup, and the money for makeup is not a small amount. And those boys need money even more, and when they grow up, they will have wives and children, which is also a big expense. And after getting married, you have to have children. Relying on the money obtained by fraud alone is not enough to support the family. This question is now the biggest problem in front of Li Meng. This problem is no longer just a simple matter of survival, it has become a big issue related to the life and death of the gang. It is impossible for anyone to rely on the meager money of the gang and not marry and have children for the rest of their lives.

"Senior sister, don't worry, listen to me slowly. The little fat man said.

How can Li Meng not be in a hurry, she can't wait to lift the little fat man upside down now, pour out all the ideas in his head, save him like a seller, and make people anxious.

The little fat man saw that the little junior sister was really anxious, so he told the idea he had just come up with. It turned out that the little fat man saw the chicken wings and suddenly came up with a wonderful idea. It's not summer, it's too hot. At night, people can't go to bed early at home. Let's read a book, I sweat profusely when I read it, and I also spend lamp oil. At this time, people like to gather in groups after the sun sets, after dinner, and chat. The little fat man seized this business opportunity, and he wanted to pull out some tables when everyone was out to enjoy the coolness. Get a stove, kebabs and chicken wings, and make some simple cold dishes, accompanied by a jug of wine. If at this time, there is some evening breeze blowing, leaving people for the summer of the day, and then eating skewers and drinking beer, what a pleasant thing it will be!

After listening to the little fat man's idea, Li Meng was stunned. Listening to what Senior Brother Fat said is indeed a good idea. If this can be done well, maybe it can really solve the urgent needs of the Boxers! Liu Hongzhe looked dazed, because he had lived in Fulong Valley for too long, and the realm of cultivating immortals had been achieved, so he didn't realize how beautiful the little fat man was describing.

Li Meng pondered for a while, and said with an embarrassed face: "Although Senior Brother's attention is good, it is estimated that this cost will also require a lot of money!"

The little fat man often followed Song Dayou down the mountain to purchase, and he knew a little about Chen Ben of some food. So, the little fat man lowered his head and calculated how much it would cost if he did it. After a while, the little fat man seemed to have a rough bottom, and I saw him raise his head and say slowly: "Senior sister, if you do it, I estimate that the initial investment will take about a hundred taels." ”

Li Meng listened to the little fat man's words, his face gradually sank, and he said after a while: "I don't have so much silver." ”

The little fat man originally thought that no matter what Li Meng said, he was also a helper, how could he take out a hundred taels of silver. In fact, he completely overestimated Li Meng. Although Li Meng is a gang leader, the few pieces of silver in their gang are enough for them to have a full stomach. I wanted them to come up with a hundred taels of silver, but they really couldn't take it out. The little fat man also had some difficulties, and the hundred taels of silver was still a conservative investment he estimated. If there are some additional expenses, I'm afraid this hundred taels of silver will not be enough. His little fat man originally had some small coffers, but in the past few days since he came to Lianyun City, there was not much money left. There was once a high monk who once said: Gold is empty, silver is empty, how can he be in his hands after death? power is also empty, name is also empty, and in the blink of an eye, a barren suburb. This quote teaches people not to take money too seriously. But now, if that high monk stood in front of the little fat man, he would definitely scold him for farting! The little fat man has now deeply realized how sad it is to have a smart head but no money.

"I seem to have some silver. Liu Hongzhe said lightly, as if he was not sure whether he had any silver or not.

"Ah!" the little fat man and Li Meng were indeed overjoyed when they heard this.

"Uncle Shi, how much silver do you have?" the little fat man asked, and a thought arose in his heart, it must be the small treasury that Uncle Shi has secretly saved in the past few years.

Liu Hongzhe shook his head and said, "I don't know how much silver there is. A few days ago, when I first arrived at Cuiping Lake. On a dark and windy night, Xiaobai kept howling at a place. I was curious, so I went over to check and found out that it was a cave. This cave is very hidden, if it weren't for Xiaobai's sensitive beast, even I, an immortal cultivator, wouldn't have been able to find it. ”

The little fat man then remembered that there was still that silver wolf! That day he saw his uncle take the silver wolf through the air, and now he was so excited when he saw his uncle that he forgot about it. Hearing that Uncle Shi said that there was silver, the little fat man was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to say: "Uncle Shi, without further ado, let's go and see how much silver there is!"
