Early the next morning, Lu Siyu set off early with his uncle and second uncle, still wearing Zhuang Jinhan's clothes.

He could easily get the down jacket and cotton padded jacket, but there had to be a reason for taking out those clothes. If they appeared out of thin air, they would definitely arouse suspicion. In desperation, he could only continue to wrap himself tightly in Zhuang Jinhan's clothes.

The winter sun came out relatively late, and the sky was still dark when the three of them set off. It didn't gradually light up until they reached the county, but this was also the time the three of them wanted.

After arriving in the city, the uncle still took the original road, because he had already sold it once yesterday, so he can find the location with ease this time, as long as he walks all the way down according to yesterday's process, he can quickly sell all the charcoal in the car out.

As for Lu Siyu, he took another path with the two uncles, and it was also another community in Lu Siyu's memory.

After arriving at the destination, Lu Siyu handed over the business of knocking on the door to sell good charcoal to the second uncle, and walked nearby by himself.

Not all high-end residential areas are surrounded by high-end residential areas, and after a certain range, they will become a little lower-end. These are also the goals of Lu Siyu's emphasis on selling shredded charcoal.

But this time, they can no longer sell crushed charcoal at the same price as Zhuang Jinhan yesterday, but lower the price a little, even if it is only a penny or two, it will be a surprise to those who are not rich.

However, because Lu Siyu's physique is relatively weak, he directly found a few families and sold them at the ratio of one sack to each family. In this way, he only needed to sell charcoal one sack by sack without additional weighing.

The weight of the charcoal in each sack is not an integer, just like when the aunt and the second aunt did not buy it at an integer price, there will be some deviations, because there must be some charcoal in it, just small pieces It's fine to use broken charcoal, the charcoal chips are really not useful, so the price will also be suppressed, and the villagers are very aware of this, so naturally there is no objection.

Probably Lu Siyu was lucky. The area he was looking for happened to be a relatively densely populated area, so he just asked a few casually and someone had an interest. In addition, there would be some connections between neighbors, word of mouth, and it was very easy. Soon, the sacks of charcoal on the bullock cart were all sold out, and some people even made an appointment with Lu Siyu for charcoal in the afternoon.

After Lu Siyu repeatedly promised to bring the charcoal over in the afternoon, these talents dispersed one after another, leaving only those who had decided to buy charcoal to follow him inside.

Perhaps it was because Lu Siyu's speed was too fast, and the second uncle didn't knock on a few doors. Knowing that Lu Siyu had sold all the broken charcoal, he immediately showed a look of joy.

"You are the most powerful, Xiaoyu." All the big bags of charcoal were sold out, and the sacks were given away as gifts. There was a lot of goods in the car, and the second uncle held the money in his hand, and his face showed unbearable joy. color.

However, Lu Siyu calmed down a lot. His concept of these copper coins is far weaker than that of his uncle and uncle, so he doesn't have too many thoughts. In addition, he is sure that he will be able to live better and better, so naturally he will not be too much. Excited.

"Second Uncle, let's continue." Lu Siyu smiled.

"Okay, keep going."

With the experience of the previous day, the second uncle's hands and feet are very nimble this day, and this time he collected the money himself, so every time he holds the money in his hand, he will be excited for a while, and then he will be the same as yesterday's uncle. Carefully put the money in the inner pocket.

When all the charcoal in Erbo's cart was sold out, he immediately drove out of the county in an ox cart.

This was agreed at the beginning, whoever sells out will go first, and don't wait, after all, the two people's ox carts are in different areas, and if they sell out, they have to get together again, which will waste a lot of time.

As for Lu Siyu, he still stayed in the county seat.

This time, he really wandered around.

The ancient county town was also very lively, especially on the special street where there were shops on the left and right, but the business was mediocre, probably also affected by the heavy snow.

This time Lu Siyu wandered around and did not meet anyone like Zhuang Jinhan. It was a coincidence that the two of them met yesterday. Today Lu Siyu is no longer in the original place, so naturally it is impossible to meet again.

After walking for a while, it was already noon. He felt hungry, so he randomly found a small roadside stall and sat down, looking at the sign hanging not far away.

"Boss, give me a bowl of plain noodles."

"Okay, wait a moment."

A bowl of plain noodles costs five cents, and the prices in the county are really high. Just such a bowl of noodles is equivalent to a pound of good charcoal, which can last for a long time.

Probably because the past few days have been too difficult, Lu Siyu also began to worry about it, but there is really nothing to do about the price. After all, this is a county town, which is equivalent to a modern county-level city, and the price will be somewhat higher.

Soon, a bowl of plain noodles was placed in front of Lu Siyu, and he handed over five cents, and started to eat the noodles with his head down.

Listen to gossip while eating.

"Hey, have you heard? The new county magistrate has just taken office."

"Ah? Take office at this time? When did it happen? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It just happened yesterday. I heard that as soon as the county magistrate took office yesterday, he gathered all the beggars and poor people who had no place to live in the whole county, and put them all in one compound. Not only did everyone get a bowl of porridge, but they also burned charcoal fire at night."

"Is there such a good thing? It seems that the new county magistrate is quite good and can do practical things."

"Who says it's not? Today, people in the entire county are saying that we will be blessed in the future. They thought that it's getting colder these days, and some people will die. But with the help of the magistrate, even these people can live well. live."

"That's a good thing, the new magistrate is a good person, and we will have a good life in the future."

"That's right, in fact, I don't ask the magistrate to do too many good things, as long as he is not the kind who seeks the people's fat and anointment. You don't know, a magistrate came from the next county. I heard..."

Probably because they knew that the next words were not very pleasant to hear, so the conversation between the two became softer and softer, so low that only the two of them could hear it.

Lu Siyu didn't think of a way to listen, but he kept thinking about the new magistrate in his mind.

Speaking of modern film and television dramas, you always hear magistrates, magistrates, and prefectures, but he basically has no idea about these, but now in ancient times, he needs to understand what is going on in the magistrate, so as not to I don't know when I got offended.

Just listening to the conversation between the two, the county magistrate seems to be a newcomer, but he shouldn't be considered a bad person, at least he just came and dealt with such a thing.

As the two said, ordinary people don't care how good the magistrate is, as long as he is not the kind who is greedy and seeks the people's fat and anointment. Otherwise, if the magistrate adds a little tax to each household in private, it will be enough to make many The family is in dire straits.

But it's quite a coincidence, Lu Siyu thought, that the county magistrate actually thought the same as him.

But the idea of ​​a temporary relief station was not a great idea at all, and he didn't think it had anything to do with him, so he left after eating the noodles.

Guessing that the time was almost up, Lu Siyu returned to the appointed place, and sure enough, the second uncle's ox cart arrived not long after.

The two still split up according to the morning plan, but this time Lu Siyu put down the charcoal in the sack directly, and then let the second uncle drive the ox cart inside.

Since someone had ordered charcoal in the morning, not long after his sack was unloaded this time, someone touched it.

However, the delivery speed this time was slower than in the morning, and Lu Siyu couldn't wander around, so he could only rely on his face to act, with an obviously immature face to soften these people's hearts and help him promote.

The efficiency is not high, but the effect is still there. After about half an hour, all the goods here have been cleared. He waited for a while, and the second uncle drove over in a bullock cart after a while, still with a smile on his face. smile.

The ox cart stopped beside Lu Siyu, and the second uncle looked up at the sky: "It's getting dark so fast, if it's summer, I can take an extra trip."

Lu Siyu laughed: "Where does the charcoal business come from in summer?"

"That's true," the second uncle scratched his head, "It's almost time, and all the charcoal in the car has been sold out, so let's go back."

"En." Lu Siyu wrapped himself tightly in his clothes and got on the bullock cart.

Generally speaking, today's speed is faster than yesterday's, so this time the sky is slightly brighter than yesterday's. The second uncle was not too anxious to drive the ox cart this time, and arrived at the gate of the county slowly.

Not long after walking out of the county seat, he heard the sound of wheels rolling behind him. Lu Siyu looked back and saw his uncle.

The first half of the road back from the county seat is fairly wide, so two ox carts can run side by side.

The uncle controlled the speed of the bullock cart well, and when the second uncle arrived, the speed of the two bullock carts was almost the same.

"Xiaoyu, today's business is not bad, but today's weather is also not bad." Uncle said suddenly.

"Well," Lu Siyu nodded, knowing what Uncle meant. If the weather is good, the snow will melt faster, and their business will not be able to continue. "I probably made some estimates. According to the current situation, we will sell it tomorrow at most. Twice, and another trip the day after tomorrow morning will be enough."

"Hey~~Although I knew this business would not be long, I still feel a little sad seeing that the business can't go on." The uncle sighed. He had never thought of doing business before, and felt that doing any business was better Farming was safe, but after a few days of business, he felt that money was in his pocket.

"There is no way around this. The charcoal business can only be done here. Even if you make money in the future, you will only earn a few pennies. It will be tiring to go back and forth, so it is not worthwhile." Lu Siyu said, he already knew The charcoal business doesn't last long, so it's more open than my uncle and my uncle.

"That's true. In fact, we have made a lot of money this year, but aren't people all greedy? We still need to grasp our mentality. The second child, you are the same. You can't just get into it just because you made some money this time. Without Xiao Yu's brains, you and I will definitely not be able to make money." After a while, the uncle figured it out, and even beat the second uncle.

"I know, big brother, there are a lot of losses in business, and not everyone can make money." The second uncle replied quickly, thinking about going back and telling his mother-in-law.

"That's the reason. After all, doing business is not as safe as farming, let alone when farming is still unstable." The uncle said suddenly.

Lu Siyu couldn't laugh or cry, he still wanted to do business in the future, but it wouldn't work if he kicked his uncle and uncle back because of his few words.

"Business is not the only way to sell charcoal. We can think of other ways, right? It doesn't waste the time of farming. Just see what can make money when you are free." Lu Siyu said, he was also thinking about it. What to rely on to make money next.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, do what you say, your brain is smarter than ours." The uncle said immediately.

"That's right, in our big family, no one is more intelligent than you, Xiaoyu, and more promising than your father." The second uncle answered the words, and it was obvious that he was also very confident in Lu Siyu.
