Entrepreneurship in a different world

With food in hand, no panic in the heart, sleep more soundly.

That's what Wen Rong is.

This time he slept until after eight o'clock in the morning, and he was only woken up by the noise of the children playing around him.

The child woke up early and played on the bed by himself for a long time. Seeing that Wen Rong was sleeping soundly, he didn't want to wake him up and waited for him to wake up by himself.

Wen Rong stretched and sat up, and told the children: "Go and see if the clothes outside are dry?"

Ahe and Jiro went to take back the bamboo pole together, touched the clothes hanging on it, "It's dry."

"Take it all in. It's dawn, so it's not good to be naked." The little ghosts here are probably used to it, and they don't feel ashamed to be naked.

The four children worked together to collect the four bamboo poles outside.

Wen Rong first looked for two sets of clothes for himself, both jeans and a T-shirt. The T-shirt was black and navy blue, which was stain-resistant, and the jeans were washed blue and black, which were also stain-resistant and wear-resistant, because they chose basic The money doesn't look outdated either.

Wen Rong put on a black T-shirt and black jeans.

The children watched him change his appearance after putting on the clothes, and kept watching around him.

"Pretty, beautiful." Dabao praised his father with the words he learned.

"Handsome!" Wen Rong pinched his nose, "Pretty is used to describe a woman, but my father is a man, so he is handsome."

"Handsome!"

The three talking children learned a sentence in unison.

A Miao reacted a bit slower, followed behind and nodded vigorously.

He felt himself in such clothes.Wen Rong picked out the clothes that he had matched with others one by one, "Come and try on your own clothes."

I have long been sure that there are my new clothes here, but I am not sure which one is my own. In fact, the children have already made their own guesses in their hearts when they were drying the clothes yesterday.

When Wen Rong was divided into their hands, Ah He and Jiro had the most intense reactions.

"I... don't need to wear such nice clothes." Ah He said.He also has a T-shirt and jeans in his hand.Different from Wen Rong's plain T-shirt, his gray T-shirt is embroidered with a few patterns made of black numbers, which looks younger.

"You can wear clothes when you buy them. This is a benefit." Wen Rong can stop him with a single word.

Ah He is very happy in his heart, as can be seen from the way he kept glancing at the new clothes.

"Really give it to me?" This is Jiro who is holding a denim blue suit and refuses to let go.He saw this set yesterday.It is popular to wear suits in the city, whether it is a suit, uniform or work clothes, it is a set.

"Yes, it's for you. The boss likes rewards for doing a good job."

Jiro jumped up with his clothes in his arms, "It's a reward! Reward, I've received the reward, and my work satisfies the customers."

The kid put on clothes frankly. He wore a denim shirt and denim trousers, both of which were work clothes, in line with the aesthetic trend of urbanites.

Before he buttoned it up, the guy walked towards the mirror at the door. There was a small mirror there, and people had to hold it a little farther away to see the whole body clearly.

Ah He became the one who helped him hold up the mirror.He also wants to wear his new clothes, especially after seeing Jiro look so good in them.

A Miao rolled into Wen Rong's arms, acting coquettishly, and yelling 'Ahhh'.He also has new clothes.

Wen Rong took out the T-shirt with a small cap and overalls that were specially chosen for him, and A Miao opened his arms and asked Wen Rong to help him put them on.

The dark blue hooded long T is a bit long for A Miao, but it can’t be seen if it is blocked by the khaki overalls. The overalls are also a bit long. Wen Rong folded the trousers for him, thinking that he should buy Sew a few stitches so that the little ones don't get caught.

"Handsome!" Da Bao generously praised A Miao, shaking his chubby hands.

A Miao hurriedly ran to Jiro, who was still looking in the mirror from a distance, and wanted to see what she was like now.

Ah He smiled and nodded at him, "It's pretty." Not only is it pretty, but it's also kind of cute.His younger brother looked cuter in this outfit than any kid in the city outside.

Now it was Dabao's turn, Dabao shook his father's arm, "Dad, Dad!"

Wen Rong took out the two sets of clothes she bought for him, and chose a set of earth tones for him to wear.

The top is a light brown hooded T-shirt, on the chest is a big bear with half of its head missing, the bottom is dark brown overalls, and there is also a chubby bear missing an eyeball on the left trouser pocket.

Dabao picked the little chubby bear's only remaining eyeball with his slender hand, and felt that it was very unusual on his clothes, and he was very satisfied.

"This is a bear." Wen Rong pointed to the two mutilated bear heads and taught him.

The other three children ran over to look at the 'bear' in his mouth and listen to him tell them what a bear is.

After a while, Dabao was wearing his bear clothes, imitating the 'bear-like' demonstrated by Wen Rong just now, chasing after A Miao with his teeth and claws, threatening him.The two little ghosts were chasing back and forth in the house, and the laughter spread downstairs. Grandpa Gu, who was tidying up the counter, heard it, looked up at the ceiling, and laughed.

Ah He put on his new clothes and asked Jiro to hold up the mirror and look at him for a long time. When Wen Rong urged him to leave, he hurriedly changed his clothes and put back on his previous clothes.

"...Keep it, it will be dirty on the way back." Ah He has been taught by her mother and knows how to cherish such a good thing.

Jiro didn't think as much as he did. He decided to wear his new clothes and go to 'patrol' every site marked by him today, so that those little ghosts can see and envy them.He got a reward!

Wen Rong won't interfere with others after giving away the things.He took the opportunity to divide the shoes, and the children started the second round of looking in the mirror in turn.

Ah He finished trying on his new sneakers, reluctantly put them away and put them back in the straw basket.

Shoes are more important than clothes for the children of 'Haunted Hollow'.If you really don't have clothes, you can wrap your body with 'iron thorn grass'. If you don't have shoes, your feet will often be injured, and work will be delayed when you are injured.

Even if they go to pick it up or ask for it, they all need a pair of shoes.The bad ones are fine.

When was the happiest moment of earning money?For Wen Rong, it is the time to buy things for the people close to him, and see the smiles on their faces when they receive the things.

Also, when you earn money and go home.

With everything packed, they are ready to go home.

On Wen Rong's body was the most important money, which was put in a snakeskin bag and placed at the bottom of the big bamboo basket, with grain and oil on it.

Ah He carried daily necessities, while Jiro used Wen Rong's previous straw basket to carry the clothes they bought and replaced.

Dabao said that he had to go by himself. He was wearing new clothes and new shoes just when he wanted to show others.

Going down to the first floor, Dabao ran up to Grandpa Gu first, "Grandpa Gu, are you handsome?"

Grandpa Gu gave him a face-saving look, "Yeah!"

A Miao followed behind Dabao and eagerly patted her body.What about me, what about me?

"Handsome too!" Grandpa Gu boasted.

Jiro puffed up his chest on purpose and cleared his throat like an adult.

"They're all handsome!" For children, this old man has plenty of patience.

Jiro got the compliment and thought to himself, I will never call him old man again.

"Then, see you next time." Wen Rong hooked the backs of the children's heads, "See you again, Grandpa Gu."

The children shouted in unison: "Grandpa Gu, see you again!"

Jiro was a beat too late, but he also called out.

"Let's go!" Grandpa Gu lowered his head and stopped looking at them.

Jiro thought well at first, but this time he personally sent them out of the city and walked over with the goods on his legs, which not only showed his strength but also his ability to recognize the way.

Who would have thought that after leaving the hotel area, Wen Rong walked to the bus platform first.

"Take the car again?" It wasn't Ah He who protested this time, but Jiro.

"It's easier to take the car, our things are quite heavy." He had a pain in his shoulder, but he didn't show it.

"Then do you still need me?" The reason for Jiro's reluctance is here. If he can't show his value, can his work last for a long time?

"Needed! If you are missing, this road will be very heavy for us to carry."

Ah He didn't speak the whole time.He knew that Wen Rong had made a lot of money, and if he wasn't allowed to spend some, he might spend it on other things that weren't worth it at all.

"Also, I want you to follow along to find out the way. We will come again in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and you will come to pick us up at that time. If you don't know the way, it would be bad if you miss it."

Jiro easily accepted this statement.In other words, he will have a job again the day after tomorrow.

There are relatively many bus lines at the 'Central Station', some of which go directly to the gate of Dongcheng. If you take a bus, you can get there within half an hour.

There weren't many people in the car at this time of the morning, probably because they changed their clothes today, the few city people in the car didn't look at them with disgust.Some people took a few extra glances at Dabao, because he was really cute in his rambunctious clothes.

"You can wait for us at the city gate next time." After telling Jiro, he took off the things he was carrying on his back to lighten some of the weight, and handed over the straw basket to A Miao to carry.

"I will come."

Wen Rong handed him two coins like last time, indicating that it was the fare.

Jiro returned one to him.In fact, he also knew that Wen Rong was giving him money in a disguised form to keep him alive, but he had his own rules, "When you come by car, you get one coin, and when you go there, you also get one. Jiro only collects money when he does something. "

"If I invite you to pick us up, you have to pay the fare." Wen Rong couldn't fool such a brat.

Jiro thought about it for the same reason, and withdrew his outstretched hand, "I will pick you up on time."

When they left the gate of the city, they saw Captain Luo, and Wen Rong nodded in greeting.

Captain Luo seemed to have something to say to Wen Rong, but he was too embarrassed to speak because of the people around him and the issue of face.He actually wanted to ask about the lip paper.

Wen Rong and the others left the city like this.In the morning, there were also street stalls outside Dongcheng, but there were not many of them. Wen Rong saw a vegetable seller.

This vegetable vendor only sells one kind of vegetable, and the quantity is not too much. They are arranged in piles. It seems that they have just been picked from the ground and are quite fresh.

Walking over with the children, Wen Rong asked the price.The other party glanced at their clothes, and squeezed out a blunt smile on their dull faces, "A handful of thirty marrow coins."

Before Ah He could react, Wen Rong thanked her and pulled the children away.

"Eh? If you want it sincerely, it's 25 coins." The other party took the initiative to lower the price, "This is already the public price, and the vegetable market in Nancheng is also at this price."

Wen Rong looked back at the other party without speaking, but expressed the self-evident meaning with his eyes.The other party gritted his teeth, "23 marrow coins, really can't be less."

Wen Rong waved his hand.He was really just asking the price.Judging from the quotation style at the gate of the city, the price can be lowered to [-] marrow coins at most, and it is impossible to lower it any more.

The quotation outside the city gate is only slightly higher, compared to the bargain price inside the city, it is a [-]% cut.

Seeing that Wen Rong didn't intend to buy, the seller's attitude changed, "It's so nice to wear and yet so stingy. Pretending to be a rich man, hmph!"

Hearing his muttering, Wen Rong felt it was funny.Are they well dressed?Didn't see the gentleman in suit and leather shoes yesterday, that's called a rich man.

"Brother Wen, we have become rich people." Ah He also found it funny.The title "rich man" will one day come out of the mouths of these people outside the city to these "ghetto" people like them.

Wen Rong patted the back of his head, "Go and see if Uncle Monroe's car is at the terminus last time."

The things he was carrying were too heavy, and after walking a short distance, his shoulders couldn't bear it.He plans to continue chartering a car today.

Ah He couldn't resist him, so he could only put down the straw basket and take Ah Miao to the place where all the 'buses' were parked to find someone.

After a while, that Uncle Monroe from last time followed Ah He and the others to find him, "Hey, it really is you again. Why, are you still chartering a car today?"

"Bao!" Wen Rong waved his big hand and made a happy decision.

Monroe didn't hesitate, "Go a few steps forward and wait by the side of the road."

A few minutes later, the battered van drove up.Compared with the last time, the car seemed to be more broken this time.

Wen Rong and the others got into the car. This time, the two children were not as restrained as last time. They ran to sit in the back row by themselves. They changed rows within 2 minutes, leaning against the window and sticking their heads out of the window to look.

"Is it still like last time?" Monroe asked with a smile.Last time he earned eighteen coins and rushed back just in time to wait until he got off work. He picked up customers twice, which was more cost-effective than waiting for customers on weekdays.

"Can Uncle drive further?" Wen Rong didn't go around in circles with him, "What if I hire Uncle's car to drive directly to the 'Ghost Cave'?"

"You're kidding." Monroe didn't take his words seriously. "The last run was the farthest I've ever run."

"If it's true, can uncle go?"

"...Don't dare, dare not." The other party kept shaking his head, "Let's not talk about your place, I haven't been to a few big manors near your place."

"You don't want to go for a hundred coins? You sent us last time and you have already run nearly one-third of the distance. I gave you eighteen coins, and the remaining two-thirds of the journey is poor. It’s a little bit farther away, you’ve never been there, and you’re a little scared...isn’t it worth 82 coins?”

Monroe hesitated. 82 marrow coins, that is the money he can earn in a few days, and it would be a lie to say that he is not tempted.

"...do you have that much money?"

"I will definitely not miss you."

"But I heard that the road conditions over there are very bad. They are all crushed by the big trucks. I'm afraid my car won't be able to withstand it..." Monroe began to think more.

"The road is almost short, and it's not too far from the road past 'Tian Shui Zhuang'." Thinking about the road they took when they came, Wen Rong told the truth.

"...Let me think about it." Monroe thought about it seriously while driving.

The temptation of a hundred marrow coins is too great.One hundred coins is a week's wages for an ordinary worker in the city.Although he doesn't need to look at the face of the boss if he doesn't work part-time, he sometimes earns less than a hundred coins a week.

By this time in the morning the rush hour for passengers has passed.Staying there and waiting only received a few scattered customers.

After driving for a while, Monroe summoned up his courage and said, "I only drive to the outside of the big manor closest to your place, is that okay? Of course, I don't need a hundred coins."

Wen Rong estimated the distance.The manor closest to them on this road is the Li Family Manor.The distance from the 'Ghost Cave' is about 26 to [-] kilometers.

At his speed, he could walk back in more than three hours. If Ah He and Amiao walked at the speed, he could get there in two hours.

"It's okay. In this case, I can only pay you seventy marrow coins." Wen Rong said.

In fact, the distance of the road behind was a few kilometers less than the distance Monroe sent them to platform 46 last time.Last time he only paid the other party eighteen coins.

"Yes!" Monroe agreed this time.Seventy pith coins sounds like a lot, as long as you don't get close to that 'ghost cave'.

After negotiating the price, both parties breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Wen, it's not worth it." Ah He tugged on Wen Rong's sleeve in a low voice.This time they set off early, if they ran back like last time, they would be able to get there before dark.

Also, the speed of this car is really not that good.

"It's a good deal. We have a chartered car and there are four of us." Saving time is secondary, the main thing is to save energy and not to hurt your body.

Children do not yet understand the importance of the body.

If you can't say enough about him, Ah He won't say much.

Monroe also made a lot of determination to earn this sum of money.No one has ever run such a long distance. If he hadn't been in contact with Wen Rong and the others, he would not have dared to do this if he knew that the other party was of good character.

If the speed is a little faster, I can still rush back and wait for the afternoon off work, so I will earn another [-] marrow coins for nothing today.As for the condition of the car and the road, with a large amount of money in front of him, it seems that there is no need to consider it.

Even if the car breaks down, he can fix it. I pray that his own luck will not be so bad. It will be broken on the road.

With the support of the seventy marrow coins, the uncle increased the speed of the car a little.Fortunately, his driving skills are really good. The speed increases, except that the people inside become more bumpy, but there is no physical nausea and dizziness.

After the car passed Station 46, Monroe became a little worried.The road ahead was really the first time he walked.

"So there are so many manors on these two sides." As an outsider, the uncle is also not familiar with the places dozens of miles away from his home.

"There's more to come." Wen Rong chatted with him one after another.

The car turned off once on the way, and Uncle Monroe said to refuel, Wen Rong followed him down to refuel.

He saw that the uncle didn't mention any oil cans and barrels, so he got out of the car with a pot of water on his back.

The driver then unscrewed the fuel tank, stuffed a fist-sized black stone-like object into the tank, and then poured water into it.

"Eh?" Wen Rong was dumbfounded, "Uncle, are you adding water?"

"Come on." Uncle Monroe gave him a strange look, "Solid gasoline can only be melted and decomposed by adding water."

Solid petrol?Wen Rong closed his mouth.Well, this stuff is way ahead of their time.

"Can you lend me a look at solid gasoline?" This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.Is solid gasoline just to concentrate gasoline from a liquid state?

Uncle Monroe took out a small piece from his overalls pocket, "This is the last piece I'll buy."

Wen Rong took it and smelled it, but it didn't smell like gasoline that he was familiar with.It feels like solidified rubber. There should still be some petroleum ingredients in it, but there must be other unknown ingredients added.

"How much gasoline can this piece decompose?" Wen Rong was curious.

"Such a piece plus 250 milliliters of water completely melted and disintegrated. It can fill up my gas tank and run for two weeks without any problem." Monroe said, putting away the solid gasoline for Baby.

Wen Rong saw that his fuel tank was not big, it could hold 40-50 liters of fuel at most, if he just ran back and forth outside the city, it would be enough for two weeks.

A small piece of solid gasoline and a little water can be used as driving force. This is still a price that drivers can afford in such poor areas.It shows that the development and use of energy in this world is well developed.In his mind, he couldn't help imagining what would happen to the transportation and energy usage in a developed big city?

"Do all the cars run on solid gasoline?"

Monroe shook his head, "I don't know. All the cars here are like this, but I heard from the old people in the village that it used to be liquid gasoline, which was what they used when they were very young."

After filling up the gas, the car turned on several times before it ignited. When it was ignited, Monroe took a nervous breath, "If the engine is completely turned off in this kind of place, I will be too unlucky."

The car continued to drive forward, thinking that they were the only car driving on the road behind, but after half the distance, they encountered several large transport trucks head-on.

Monroe took the initiative to get out of the way and go around to make way for the big truck.

As five large trucks drove past, the drivers inside watched curiously at the occupants of the battered van, wondering who would have traveled so far to get here at this hour

"It's not a local freight car." After completely staggering, Monroe said in a low voice.

"I also noticed that the patterns and characters on the front of their license plates are different." "It's a car from another city. It's strange, how come there are trucks from other cities that come directly to the manor to deliver goods? It’s what local cars do.”

Ordinary people usually just talk about it, and they don't think about what happened in depth.Monroe said so and quickly forgot it.

The car drove near the 'Jin's Manor', and Monroe saw the sign on the side of the road, and recognized the sign, "This is the 'Jin's Manor'. The quality of flour in their manor is the best, and the price is also the most expensive. .”

Yes! He still has a bag in his pannier.

"Then I'm about to go back. It is said that the 'Jin Family Manor' is already the largest manor closest to you..."

"You stop by the side of the road." Wen Rong didn't make things difficult for the other party.

The Li Family Manor is just ahead, just a few steps away.

Wen Rong put the seventy marrow coins into Monroe's hand, a bright smile appeared on the other's face, and he kept wiping the sweat from his palms, "Seventy marrow coins are worth my income for several days .”

Seeing Qian gave me motivation, and the two parties waved goodbye, further deepening their trust and affection for each other.

Maybe, it would be nice to meet him and charter a car next time.This was what Uncle Monroe was thinking when he drove back.

In fact, the appearance here is similar to that outside their city, except that no one can be seen in broad daylight, and driving alone on such a road seems a bit bleak, and I get scared when I think about it in my heart.But he just met freight cars from other cities. They dared to come here, and he, a local, was so frightened that he never dared to run this way.

What about "ghost caves" and "ghosts"... are just rumors that have changed their flavors.
