Snack Street Tycoon

Fan Yu's trip to Bojia City has yielded a lot. He found high-quality triangle wheat at a very low price, bought a pair of round-toed shoes, and made two pairs of round-toed shoes.Because he had to rush back to Yunu City earlier, he didn't have time to wait for Weng Nan to prepare the shoes for him and take them all the way back.Xia Houyi said that when the other end was finished, he would send the people in the house to Yunu City to send it. He said that he happened to have some things to transport to Yunu City, so he just took them with him.

After Fan Yu returned to Yunu City, he separated from Xia Houyi.He didn't feel any embarrassment when he got along with Xia Houyi in the past few days, but when he was separated from Yunu City, when he returned home and thought about it, he felt that this matter was indeed a bit embarrassing, and it seemed that it would not be easy in the future To the two cousins.That cousin once helped him a lot, rescued Zu Xin from the brothel, and helped him open an account in Golden Wood that could save money in the name of his son without paying interest; He also helped him a lot, rescued him from a gang of thugs, entertained himself to live in his house in Bojia City for a few days, and borrowed his own silver to buy emergency food.In this way, wouldn't it be extremely difficult for the two of them to meet together in the future?

After all, he didn't want to be a fool, trying to please both sides.At first, he thought that he would not let the flames of war between these two competing people affect him, and said that he would only think about the benefits of the conflict between these two people, but now he can't do it. .At the moment, he was just afraid that it would be difficult to meet the two of them in the future, and he was afraid that he would just be caught in the middle and be an unlucky person.

He thought about it for a while, and then stopped thinking about it. After all, it was useless to think about this matter, so he might as well focus on his own business.

When he got home, there was no one in the house, so the dog and horse were idle in the kitchen.Seeing that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, he must have eaten both the dog and the horse, so he only added some water to the clay bowl that the dog used to drink, and the low log that the horse used to drink. Added some water to the bucket.

He then sat back in his room to rest.He sat on the edge of the bed, looked back, and saw that Zu Xin had made the bedding neat and tidy, then turned his head back and stared at the new pair of shoes on his feet, the ones he bought at Weng Nan shoe shop .

He just stared at it for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the bronze mirror in his room—a mirror with a rectangular shape in the middle and elliptical ends at the top and bottom. He bought an expensive one, so it was not like it was then. The other mirrors in the store are so yellow and shiny that they only reflect light.This side of him is not very reflective, but it can be seen more clearly, but the edge of the image is not "outlined" very clearly, it seems to be blurred.The center is clear and the edges are illusory. For a person who is used to looking at mirrors with glass surfaces and mercury-coated backs, everything reflected in this bronze mirror really seems like a dream.

In this way, it was the first time he seriously stood in front of this mirror and looked at himself carefully.The figure is very clear, but the outermost circle of the image in the mirror seems to be drawn with dotted lines and ghost shadows.Looking at it like this, I feel that the mirror and myself reflected in it, not only does not look like a living thing, but it looks like a very vivid figure painting on a piece of yellow paper.

He got closer, took a look, and felt that this appearance was really good. Apart from being a little thin, there seemed to be no faults in his facial features, but he looked quite pleasing to the eye and quite upright.

He smiled at "myself", thinking that although this appearance is really not the appearance he likes, it is still okay in the end, it is better to let nature take its course, and don't always hold a look that is from the bottom of your heart. Reluctance to accept this fact.

The appearance he likes of himself is the "tough guy" type he used to be, maybe not that "tough", but it is indeed the informal and masculine type, but just looking at this person in the mirror seems to be It can be foreseen that this person can only grow into a "fresh meat" in the end.

He only hopes in his heart that if he can grow into a man of fresh meat in this world, he will be thankful and content, and he must never grow up like Zu Xin.The Fresh Meat type is whiter and tenderer, and the eyebrows and eyes are softer, at least it is still a man, but the Zu Xin type is different, it is no different from a girl, and the body like him is only the body. Just different from girls.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard his dog barking in the kitchen, presumably the family members had returned.As soon as he turned around, he saw Zu Xin and his mother-in-law came back, and after asking, he found out that they were originally in the house at the foot of the mountain.They asked if the triangle wheat was available, and he replied that they did, and it would arrive in five days.Because he actually came here in a carriage with Xia Houyi first, and the twenty bags of grain were sent to watch the delivery in a carriage, so they did not arrive on the same day as them.He didn't tell his mother-in-law and the others about Xia Houyi.

The mother-in-law asked him if he had enough money.He intentionally erased the matter of being robbed and didn't mention it, thinking that the money was gone. If he said that he was robbed again, it would not help the matter, but it would cause them to worry for nothing and ask more questions.He just said that the money is enough, and the triangle wheat is of good quality and cheap.The mother-in-law and the others were naturally happy when they heard that it was cheap and good.

He asked how the house was, and they said everything was normal, and they all went to the house to eat with craftsmen big and small during the days when he was away.Everyone is busy enough to deal with the supply of ten shops, although there are only ten people in the house, but due to the division of labor in the production line, these manpower has become more than enough.

Fan Yu thought about going to the house tomorrow, because he expected that Dakang Restaurant would tell him about more supplies soon, so he would have to hire more people.He had to go to the house to see how the large and small rooms should be divided and arranged.The house is not like an ordinary courtyard house, only the north main room, the east and west wing rooms, etc. add up to a total of ten rooms. It also has inverted rooms and back rooms, plus the formal There are twenty rooms in total in the main room and the east and west rooms.There are still many spare rooms inside.

The two men hired now live in the one closest to the door of the inverted house facing the street. They are arranged to live there because it is the closest to the door of the house, and it is the safest place to take care of a house. .And the four children who are fifteen or sixteen live together in one of the back rooms. The back room is behind the main room in the north, facing the back street and quiet street, because those few are more than ten , I am more courageous, so if several people live in one room with a bunk in it, they will not be afraid.The rest of the young ones, who were only ten years old, gathered in a side room next to the main room in the north because of their timidity. In the front of the car, there was an upside-down house facing north. They gathered together and huddled in the middle, neither facing the front street nor the quiet street at the back, so they were not afraid.

Now there are only three rooms used for production and processing in the house, and only one room is used for stacking food raw materials and sundries, and the other room is used as a stove.There are still twelve rooms left. It seems that even if more than 20 craftsmen live in it, there will still be six or seven rooms left for processing.

After he went to see it the next day, he came back and planned to buy someone.As soon as I told my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law laughed that I had suddenly become a big family with dozens of people under my name, and said that the officials in the government office who were in charge of such records did not know what happened, and maybe she thought it was a sudden discovery. After getting a windfall, he began to live in abundance.

After speaking, he turned the conversation to Fan Yu's important matter again, and reminded Fan Yu to work hard to earn money and redeem himself for life. In the future, these people will be able to sign his name in a legitimate way, and in Jinwu Li also dared to save money seriously.

Fan Yu responded to his mother-in-law's words, but his heart was also quite heavy, because at that time he would redeem his life alone, but there were so many children under his name. According to the working habits of the people here, as long as his business does not fail, Those people should have followed him for the rest of their lives. Could it be possible to watch them being driven up the mountain to die at the age of 70?

In case there are dozens or hundreds of people under my name in the future, don't I have to redeem their lives one by one because I can't see them dying like that?What if you don't have the financial resources?This society is unfair, and he doesn't know what to do now, he only knows that his own strength is really weak now.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that the journey is long, and many things are not settled properly, so it is better not to worry about things that will happen many years later, but to focus on the present and move forward. Take care of the matter at hand.Expand production, buy more people to come in, they help themselves to work and produce, and I have to ensure that they have a good life.

It's better to do these things in advance now than anything else, let's take one step at a time in the future.

On the day after visiting the house, he personally took the house clerk to Dakang Restaurant to deliver the goods in the morning, and had a chat with Chonghou Fang as if reminiscing about old times.Chonghou didn't say that his mother-in-law knew that he had gone to the north, and asked him why he didn't know why he didn't know before leaving, saying that he wanted to talk to him about something, but he couldn't find anyone, so he should ask his mother-in-law. know about his travels.Seeing that the other person's expression was displeased, it was inconvenient for him to put on a hard posture and tone at this time, so he had to change into the softest expression that fit his current image of a small man, and said to him in a roundabout way: " Brother Chonghou, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just wanted to go alone and not tell anyone. It was like going out for fun. I wanted to keep a secret from everyone. Only myself knew. This is the first time for me to go out like this, and there is a feeling of... going through a dangerous situation alone."

Fan Yu has suffered a lot since he came to this place.He was originally of the same age as his cousins ​​Chonghou Fang and Xiahouyi, but now he has to call these two cousins ​​"big brother" on the left and "big brother" on the right.

Chonghou Fangben was displeased, but after listening to his words, he was still displeased, because he could not understand the mood he described.It's just that if he hides a traitor in his heart, if he intends to travel and do errands but doesn't tell him, there must be something hidden.

But hearing his calm tone, he stopped being embarrassed and asked, "Then what did you encounter on the way?" Fan Yu paused, and replied, "Well, I went to Bojia City to buy millet. The ingredients on the board were about to run out, so I went there to buy. On the way, I met a group of bandits in the forest and robbed me of my belongings..." As soon as he mentioned this, Chonghou hurriedly asked: "Are you okay? !" Fan Yu paused after hearing this, and said, "I... met your cousin and saved me."

After hearing the words, Chonghou Fang looked at him twice, and he saw that Chonghou looked at him like this, but he didn't know why, so he asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" Kou, how do you know he wasn't the one who sent you there?" Fan Yu said, "I thought so too, but later I found out that I misunderstood him."

After Fan Yu finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and before he continued, he saw Chonghou Fang who was about to speak, and seeing Chonghou Fang's expression, he knew that his cousin was about to speak again. Just slandered his cousin for a long article.In the past, he had heard enough of those crooked critics of his cousin from this cousin. Fan Yu had a lot of things to think about these days, and he really didn't want to hear any more about the two brothers. Nothing, so I just stopped his words: "Brother Chonghou, I beg you, please don't implicate me in the problems between your two brothers. Both of you have great achievements." Big, I'm only one, I'm not as tall as you guys, and my business is only as big as a sesame seed. I'm so lucky, and I have to be caught between the two of you for nothing. Please forgive me .”

When he said this, it was clear that he was begging Hou Fang to stop ridiculing his cousin. He had received his cousin's kindness no matter what, and now he came here to hear this cousin say that about his cousin. No, how should he answer?It's not right to say "yes", and it's not right to say "no", so I just ask him to do a good job and stop talking about his cousin, so that he, Fan Yu, can be a better man.

Chonghou curled his lips and said, "Then you are not injured, right?" What are you doing?" Chonghou Fang said: "Oh, the gray wheat buns and guaguahao in your house are selling very well, and they are also selling very well in the surrounding cities. I would like to ask you to provide ten more. Goods. I wonder if there are so many goods in that mysterious house of yours?"

When Fan Yu heard this, he laughed: "I'm not your opponent, why are you staring at me so closely?" Chonghou raised his head and took a closer look at Fan Yu: "Maybe it will happen someday?" Fan Yu Seeing him like this, he was not upset, just said: "I only make friends, not enemies. I like you better, and there is no reason why I should step on you. We are on the same vine, maybe you didn't realize ?"

After hearing this, Chonghou Wang smiled noncommittally, looked at Fan Yu again, and said for some reason: "I'm very curious, I don't know what my cousin who is self-righteous, self-proclaimed, and self-confessed knows Didn't know you were like that."
