The road to the emperor begins with farming

Two days later, Luo Yu went to pick up his custom-made car.The carpenter did as he said, and made the small truck.

The cart Luo Yu made had four wheels. The wheels were much smaller than those of the existing carriages, and there were handrails at the back, so they could be pushed around.The wooden boards of the car are flat, and the top is made into a shelf style. There are three layers in total, which are convenient for storing various utensils, and there is even a drawer for taking and putting small change.The truck is sealed on three sides, leaving only one side for selling goods, which is very practical.

Luo Yu looked left and right, looking at his first small cargo, very satisfied.He fished out a tael of silver from his purse and handed it to the carpenter, which was the agreed price when ordering.

The master seemed to be very satisfied with his new finished product. Seeing that Luo Yu refused to accept the money, he said with a smile, "Little man, I never thought that the car could be made into such a shape. I want to continue to make it." Some of these cars are sold in the shop, and in return, how about giving this car to you?"

Luo Yu heard that tomorrow, the old man wanted to buy his patent.However, in this era, there is no such thing as patent or non-patent. It is very kind of this master to give him a car.

Luo Yu didn't expect to make money with this small truck. In fact, this car has no technical content, as long as a carpenter can study it, it may be imitated.He should benefit other people who run small businesses, and it is not in vain for him to travel through time.He said: "In that case, thank you, Master."

Luo Yu pushed the truck home and hung the sign he had engraved on the truck.

He felt that it was necessary to name his stall. He originally wanted to call it Luo Ji Braised Vegetables, but he told his brother before that their surnames were Ye, so it would not make much sense to call him Luo Ji.Luo Yu thought about it for two days, and finally came up with a name, Dingwei Braised Vegetables, which means both Dingzhong delicacy and top-notch delicacy.He decided to use the name Ding Wei as long as he does catering business in the future.

Luo Yu put the pot of stewed vegetables on the shelf of the car, and happily pushed the car out to do business.

Sure enough, it's much easier to have a car.As soon as Luo Yu set up the car, people who came to buy stewed vegetables, passed by and saw fresh ones, and those who set up stalls near him all came to watch the excitement, discussing in one go:

"This car is really new. It doesn't need a horse-drawn cart, and people can push it around."

"It can also be used as a shelf on the car, why didn't I think of it?"

"This car is also suitable for my stall. I don't know where I can buy it. Will it be expensive?"

"If I had such a car, I wouldn't have to carry a load on the mountain road for ten miles every day."

"You have a good idea. This car is very expensive at first glance. I don't know how many loads of vegetables you have to sell to afford it."

While selling things, Luo Yu took the time to explain to everyone:

"This car was made to order at Feng Ji's carpenter's shop. If you need it, you can go and have a look, but it's not in stock right now, and it may take a few days." By the way, it's not in vain to do a wave of advertisements for Feng Ji , to make up for the shortfall of the old master making this car a little bit, although he will definitely earn back thousands of times in the future.

"This car is not suitable for traveling long distances. First, the wheels are small and not as durable as the wheels of a carriage. Second, the mountain road is rugged, and the shelves on the car can't be bumped. If you want to be durable, you can replace the wheels without adding shelves. "Maybe in the future, I can try to study the method of making cement. I remember that it seems to be made of clay. It should not be difficult.

After hearing this, someone followed his instructions and went to Feng Ji's carpenter's shop to order a car.

******

On the day Luo Zhan was resting, a well-dressed woman in her forties came with a dozen servants.He had already told the person in charge of the dental shop that he wanted to buy two servants to serve him, so the woman brought someone to show him.

Among these people are men and women, ranging in age from 8- or 9-year-old girls to 15- or 6-year-old girls and servants. There are also two middle-aged male servants and several middle-aged servants.

Looking at these servants standing in a row for others to choose, Luo Yu felt very uncomfortable.Although he knew that people could be traded in ancient times, he couldn't see it with his own eyes, and he is still in it now.

Sin!

Yaoshou!

It is said that there really were no human rights in ancient times, a little carelessness would lead to the disaster of exterminating the family and ransacking the family, and the nine clans would be implicated, human life is as cheap as a dog!

no!He must play well and take his fate into his own hands.

It's just that, these days, even if one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, there is still an emperor on his head.It is said that a companion is like a tiger, if he is dissatisfied, his life will still be lost.

Could it be...he can only be the emperor?

It's not easy to seek the court and usurp the throne. If he seeks to kill his own life, then why is he bothering?

While Luo Yu was thinking wildly, Luo Zhan was already looking at these servants expressionlessly.

The old woman of the dental shop also introduced each of them one by one, boasting wildly.Women boast of their ingenuity, beauty and wisdom, who can enter the hall, kitchen and warm the bed, and that a girl can do several jobs; easy to use.

Luo Zhan got tired of hearing this, interrupted her with a wave of his hand, and asked those people: "Are there any of you who cook well?"

A woman in her 30s replied, "I used to be a cook in a big kitchen."

Luo Zhan saw that she was cleanly dressed and had a kind face, so he nodded.

"Master, can I buy both my mother and my son?" Seeing that the buyer was quite satisfied with her, the woman asked a boy next to her, "My son is very obedient, he is also diligent in his hands and feet, and can do everything."

The woman in Yaxing just wanted to reprimand her for being unreasonable, but she rolled her eyes, and finally said nothing.

Luo Zhan saw that the boy was only 7 or 8 years old, and his clothes were clean, but his face was yellow and thin, and he seemed sick.He frowned, not to mention whether he can support him or not, but what can this kid do?At most, I would run around and pass on a message.

He originally wanted to buy another servant to help Luo Yu do the work.Luo Yu loves to let him do what he wants, just stand by the side and direct, and someone will help with any work, so he doesn't have to worry about it if he doesn't get tired.

While hesitating, the woman knelt down with a plop, kowtowed to Luo Zhan and said, "Master, please do me a favor and buy us together! Our mother and son will serve the master as cows and horses, serve him wholeheartedly, and repay the master's favor." Ender." He kowtowed repeatedly.

Luo Yu really couldn't stand it any longer, secretly went to pull Luo Zhan's sleeve, and whispered in his brother's ear: "Brother, why don't you buy it, you see how pitiful they are."

Luo Zhan didn't answer, but asked a few more questions, then called the woman, "I probably understand everything, but I still have something to ask you."

The mother-in-law followed Luo Zhan into the hall and said with an apologetic smile, "I don't know which ones the master has his eyes on?"

Luo Zhan sat at the top, tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a while before saying: "Let's talk about the situation of the mother and child."

"The woman's name is Yueniang. She used to be a cook in a rich family. Her craftsmanship is unmistakable. Her son is called Awang, and he is 10 years old this year." The woman replied cautiously, "Yueniang will be bought together with her son. Go, otherwise you won't be able to stay here."

Luo Zhan asked again: "The woman is a good cook, how could she be sold by the master?"

"It is said that Awang accidentally bumped into the lady of the master's family." The old woman explained, "I think that Awang is just a little dull, he doesn't like to talk very much, and he definitely doesn't dare to do things like bumping into the master's family. rest assured."

When the mother-in-law took over the Yueniang mother and son, Awang had already been beaten to half his life by a board.Although the main family only said that Awang had offended the young lady in the mansion, since his mother was a cook in the mansion and the main family sold her son, how dare she continue to keep her for cooking, so they sold it together.Yueniang sells 12 taels of silver, and Awang only asks for extra money, and does not ask for any other silver.

But after bringing the two back, Na Awang developed a high fever.The mother-in-law invited a doctor once and prescribed two soups and medicines. Awang drank it but found no improvement, so the mother-in-law refused to waste any more money and left him to fend for himself.It is also thanks to his mother's care and care that Awang can live until now.

Yueniang is easy to sell as a cook, but she insists on being with her son.The housekeepers of those rich families were afraid that her son would not be able to raise him well, so they were unwilling to waste money.

The mother-in-law wanted to sell Awang secretly, even if she only gave him a few hundred Wen.Only that Yueniang watched her son closely, not to mention the usual times, she held her son tightly in her arms even when she was sleeping.Once she stole Awang out, but when Yueniang found out, she cried like crazy, and said that if her son was sold by the order, she would die, and she would not be able to earn a tael of silver. arrive.How can the person who the mother-in-law buys be willing to lose money so easily, and she has endured it until now.

Luo Zhan listened to her words, but guessed that the boy named Awang broke something about the master's house, so he and his mother suffered disaster and were sold together.

It's just that the boy is 10 years old, but he looks like 7 or 8 years old, he is really dry and thin.It is estimated that many people are afraid that they will not be able to support themselves, so it is a waste of money.He doesn't have much money now, although he doesn't want to raise someone for nothing, but his younger brother is kind-hearted, if he refuses to buy it, he is afraid that the little things will make trouble with him.Forget it, money is earned slowly, with his Luo Zhan's methods, is he afraid that he won't be able to earn money.

After thinking about it, Luo Zhan asked, "Let's talk about the mother and son, how much do you plan to sell?"

"A good cook needs to sell 20 taels of silver, and a kid at Awang's age should also sell 18 taels of silver." The woman showed a shrewd look in her eyes at this time, "But their situation, and you are in the yamen I don’t agree with the master’s words, so Awang will give it to the master for free, and Yueniang will sell it for [-] taels of silver.”

In fact, in a small county like Linjiang County, a cook can be bought for 15 taels of silver, so now Awang is still sold by her for three taels of silver, which can be said to have made a profit.

"All right." Luo Zhan stood up, "You are ready to sell your life, and go to the yamen to complete the paperwork today."

The mother-in-law beamed with joy, "Master, please rest assured that it will be done properly."
