The happy life of a prodigal

In just a few days, there are only 100 taels left?

How...how could this be?

She really wanted to ask what was going on.

But held back.

Because she knew that since she was able to earn 900 taels of silver in a few months, now she can lose 800 taels of silver in a few days.

She thought for a while and said: "We still have 100 taels of silver, let me leave it here. I haven't spent much these few days. If it doesn't work, let's go back to my hometown. If you don't farm the land, you can do a little business and live a good life." ,what do you say?"

The first thousand and 170 eight chapters hit the wall everywhere

Hearing this, Jiang San shook his head and said, "They've already settled down, why go back to their hometown?"

Wu said: "What's wrong with my hometown? I've lived in it for decades, and it's not bad. You don't have to stay in Kyoto to live well. This Kyoto is indeed prosperous, so what about the prosperity? At worst, let's go back to our hometown. , isn't it the same?"

"It's different!" Jiang San's attitude was very firm.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu didn't know what to say for a moment, but kept shaking her head and sighing.

"Don't talk about it. Tomorrow, I'll ask the brother who built the road to see if I can introduce some work. Although I'm a little tired, I still have a few taels of silver a month, which is enough for us to live on."

"Okay." Wu Shi nodded, but didn't say any more.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Riding a penny carriage again, Jiang San came to the place where the road was built.

The asphalt road has been paved here, only a few temporary wooden houses next to it have not been demolished.

A few old men moved small benches and sat in front of the wooden house, basking in the sun, chatting with each other.

Jiang San took a deep breath, walked up, found the original foreman, and laughed together: "Boss Liu, is there any shortage of people at our construction site recently?"

The foreman surnamed Liu was startled slightly when he heard the voice, and looked Jiang San up and down.

After a moment of trance, I remembered who he was.

He smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this Jiang San? I heard that you earned a lot of money in the stock exchange some time ago. You are a rich man now. Why do you still inquire about the work on the construction site? Relatives from your hometown?"

Jiang San shook his head, and sighed: "Where did you earn so much money? I just managed to get some food. Now that the exchange is in a downturn, I can't even earn money for food. I just want to come to Boss Liu to have a look. Whether there is a shortage of people, if there is a shortage of people, I can work now!"

"oh, I see."

Hearing this, Foreman Liu nodded and said: "The exchange seems to be in a bad mood. A few days ago, they couldn't recruit people if they wanted to. As a result, they couldn't recruit people because of the number of people these days... ...."

After a pause, he looked at Jiang San and said, "Jiang San, we also moved bricks together, and we have been brothers for more than half a year. If you come to me, trust me, and I won't fool you. The construction site is indeed It's full."

He still has a good impression of Jiang San.

Strong and able to work.

And don't be lazy.

If possible, he would be willing to give him a chance.

The problem is that there are too many people on the construction site now, and there is really no such opportunity.

It's also strange, just a few days ago, they planned to go to Du Ming's mansion to build roads. They wanted to recruit people, so they quickly repaired the remaining roads for him.

but?

Has been unable to recruit people.

This street is full of rickshaw pullers. It can be seen that there are still people who are willing to work hard, but it is strange that no one is willing to come to the construction site.

But these days, people keep coming over.

Can't choose.

In just one day, the construction site was fully recruited.

"Hey... If you tell me in advance, I will reserve a place for you."

Foreman Liu sighed and said.

When Jiang San heard this, he was slightly startled, and subconsciously said: "Is there no one missing?"

In his impression, there is always a shortage of people on the construction site!

Every time, no matter how many people came from where, the construction site took them all as they were ordered.

Why this time, it won't work when you come to him?

Jiang San began to wonder if he had offended Foreman Liu in some way.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember that he had offended him.

"Do you feel that you have offended me somewhere, so I won't let you come?"

Foreman Liu asked.

"No..." Jiang San waved his hands quickly, wanting to say something.

But before he could speak, Foreman Liu stretched out his hand and interrupted him: "Needless to say, in fact, I understand in my heart that we both worked together at that time, you were diligent and strong, and you could earn more money, and I could share it with you." The silver that arrives is more.

As long as you can earn money, even if you offended me, what's the big deal?

It’s true that the construction site is full of people. It’s really not possible. You can go to other construction sites to see, but I guess they are all full. If you came the day before yesterday, there might still be places, but now, I don’t know what’s wrong. There is no shortage of people... hey. "

"If I can help you, my brother will really help, but on this construction site, everyone has to write on the list, and you also know that the previous people have already written it, so it's too late to change it now. "

The talk has already been said for this sake, and there is no need for Jiang San to stay any longer.

And he knew that Foreman Liu really wanted to help him.

After all, the two of them hadn't seen each other for such a long time, and foreman Liu was willing to tell him so many things and explain him from beginning to end, which was already very difficult.

If it was someone else, they would have waved their hands away by this time.

He squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you, Foreman Liu, I have the opportunity to treat you to dinner."

Foreman Liu waved his hand and said nothing.

Jiang San turned and left.

Walking aimlessly on the road of self-cultivation, he just felt lost.

There are no people on the construction site, what else can he do now?

Looking at the rickshaws around him, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

If it doesn't work, pull the rickshaw by yourself.

It's all about working hard, what can't you do?

So, I asked someone to inquire and came to the rickshaw shop.

You know, the price of this rickshaw is not cheap.

I heard that each one costs dozens of taels of silver.

Selling is absolutely unaffordable, only renting.

If you want to rent, you can only go to the rickshaw shop.

As soon as he reached the door of the rickshaw shop, he was dumbfounded.

There is a sea of ​​people in front of you.

People are next to each other, and people are crowded together.

"Is this all for renting rickshaws?"

Jiang San blurted out.

The person next to him replied: "That's not true, this rickshaw earns a lot of money, who doesn't want to earn money?"

"Brother, how much money did you earn pulling a rickshaw?"

Jiang San looked at the man and asked.

The man replied: "I used to be a vegetable seller, but I have nothing to do these days. I want to see if there are any rickshaw rentals. I guess there are none."

When Jiang San heard this, he seemed to realize something, and his heart went cold.

In the next second, a bunch of people were seen being kicked out.

[Reading Benefits] Follow the public.. account [Book Friends Base Camp], read books every day to draw cash/point coins!

A young man stood at the door, glanced around, and shouted loudly: "The ten rickshaws that came today have all been rented out! There are no more rickshaws, and it is useless for you to squeeze in here! Let them go! Go away! Bar!"

No more rickshaws so soon?

Jiang San stood where he was, a little dazed.

At this time, someone asked loudly: "When will it be available?"

The clerk looked at the man and replied, "It will take at least three days. After three days, if you come again, I think there will be a few cars available!"

"..."

For a while, Jiang San was in despair.

The first thousand and 170 chapters nine increase the rent

With so many people, how many cars can be vacated in three days?

Let alone a few cars, even dozens of cars are not enough for them to share!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang San felt dizzy and didn't know what to do for a while.

All you can do is work hard.

It is nothing more than two places, one is a construction site and the other is a rickshaw. If there is no way to do both, you can only find a way to enter the workshop and become a boy.

However, at Foreman Liu's place just now, he knew that in just a few days, countless people came to the construction site every day, but there was no chance.

There are so many people on this rickshaw side.

Even if he is a fool, he should know at this moment that jobs in the capital are not so easy to find.

Do you really want to go back to your hometown to farm?

Jiang San always felt a little unwilling.

I have come to such a bustling city as Kyoto Prefecture and earned some money, but now let him go back in despair, how can I be reconciled?

But what can you do if you don't go back?

The expenses in Kyoto Prefecture are completely different from those in my hometown.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the rent of this mansion, which is five taels of silver a month, and 60 taels a year.

The money he earned was only enough for them to stay in Kyoto for a year at most, that's all.

In addition, food and clothes are needed. Where does all this money come from?

Sitting and eating mountains and nothing, Jiang San still understands this truth.

He stood there, hesitating for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

Wait, wait, wait.

Maybe in a few days the exchange will get better, and there will be more work here.

Jiang San thought so in his heart, so he went back in a penny carriage.

For three or four days in a row, he was like this.

I came to the south of the city early in the morning and went back at dusk, but except for some trivial chores, I had no chance.

Add it all up, and you won't even earn half a tael of silver.

"I can't go on like this..."

Jiang Sanmian walked aimlessly on the road, feeling more and more desperate.

As usual, the exchange continued to fall and fall.

It seems that the entire exchange is a bottomless pit, always falling!

It is also because of this that more and more people have no way to stay on the exchange.
