Entrepreneurship in a different world

Wen Rong opened the paper bag suspiciously, and saw the neatly stacked small things inside, his eyes lit up, "This is... marrow coins?"

"Shh~~" Ah He carefully pointed her fingers, lowered her voice and replied 'yes'.

This is the currency here.

Wen Rong picked one up, pinched it between his fingers, looked carefully at the firelight, and finally he was sure that it should be made of a kind of mineral, gray, with some small uneven lines on the surface.

This is the currency with the smallest unit here. According to what Ah He popularized to him, this one is equivalent to a penny on their side, but its purchasing power is many times stronger than a penny on their side.After all, one coin is the rent for a day in the sandwich house where he lives.

In other words, a finger-wide lip paper earned him a day's rent.This is a big hit!

After counting carefully, there were actually twelve marrow coins. Wen Rong opened his eyebrows with a smile and earned twelve days' rent. For the time being, he doesn't have to worry that he will have no place to live soon.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

Ahe nodded in agreement, "I didn't expect that either. Aunt Xia Lan said that we underestimated this lipstick paper. She also asked you to make more and take it to 'Nishia City' to sell. She said there were many people there, There will be more people in need."

"'Nixia City'... Are there many rich people?" Wen Rong had heard this place name more than once.Since it is a city, it should have higher spending power than the slums.I don't know how high it can go?

"'Nishia City' is the largest city here, and our town is under the jurisdiction of 'Nishia City'. However, I heard adults chatting and saying that they usually don't care about us. We are too poor here. I only went there once when I was a child with my mother. The city gate there is very tall. I heard that there are cars inside. Most of the manor owners in the vicinity live there, and there must be many rich people. " Ah He doesn't know much about 'Nishia City', but this doesn't stop her yearning for that place.

"If you want to enter the city, you have to pay a fee. None of us living here can work in the city. Those who can enter the city have earned enough money to leave here." Ah He sighed a long time when he said this, "Listen It is said that as long as you don’t have a household registration in the city, it’s a coin, how can there be so many people here with so much money?”

Wen Rong looked forward to the largest city nearby.If lip paper can be exchanged for some value in the 'slums', it must be better to go to places with rich people.

Wen Rong thought for a while, and specially took two marrow coins and sent one to each of Ah He and Amiao, "This is for you."

The two children were frightened and refused to accept it.

"This is the remuneration I should give for using your firewood, tools, and doing things for me. You earned it in a dignified way. Ah He also helped bring the lip paper to sell. Why don't you accept it? Keep it, no I can only find someone else to do the work for me.”

"Brother Wen, don't look for others, A Miao and I can work." Fearing that Wen Rong would really find someone else to work, the two children grabbed his hand.

"Then accept it. If I find someone else, I'll have to pay as well. It's better to be cheaper than others, isn't it?" Wen Rong rubbed their hair twice.

Ah He agrees with this very much. He has no job now, and must find a new job as soon as possible in order to support himself and his younger brother. "Ah Miao and I are very diligent. We will work hard and help Brother Wen keep his secrets."

Wen Rong laughed.There are no secrets about this thing, and those who are interested should be able to know how to do it as long as they observe carefully.The most important thing here is the 'clay'.But he doesn't plan to do this for a living all the time, so let's take advantage of the oddity to make some money.

Each of the two brothers held a piece of pith coins and kept looking at the fire.After looking at it for a while, A Miao gave the marrow coin to his brother and asked him to help keep it.

"It's the first time I have my own pith coins when I grow up." Ahe touched the two pith coins shyly and whispered, "I only saw her once when my mother was still alive. Most of us here are in exchange for food. As a reward, the marrow coins are usually only available to the brothers and sisters of Aunt Xia Lan. Occasionally, some stewards and foremen in the manor will come to them, and some will pick them up to the manor. Those people prefer to give marrow Money. But my mother said that the brothers and sisters there also work very hard."

Why doesn't Wen Rong understand these things?He had seen a documentary before about the largest 'red light district' in a country's slums.The people there can only do this in order to survive, and most of their children do this from generation to generation.The customers there are not only people from the 'slums', but also tourists from all over the world, even from other countries.

Although I haven't seen the specific situation of the 'red light district' here with my own eyes, Wen Rong thinks it's probably about the same.

There are thousands of different forms of happiness in this world, but there are often only those kinds of suffering.
