Entrepreneurship in a different world

I have to measure this long white hard dirt road with my feet again.

"Let's go!" Putting the basket on her shoulders again, Wen Rong's expression was a little distorted.The frayed part of the shoulder stings when rubbed against it.If I didn't take off the bamboo basket at the beginning, I might be numb. After resting for three hours, I have to put on the basket again, and I have to suffer again.

"Brother Wen, let's change our backs." Ah He saw the fleeting discomfort on his face this time.Thinking that he has been carrying the heaviest things these two days, I want to give him a rest.

"It's okay." Wen Rong raised his chin and pointed to the front, "Let's go, I came back early today, and I can start work after I go back and rest."

"Yeah!" The three children were very active when they heard that they were starting to make lip paper.Now they only know that they can make money by making lip paper, have food to eat, and go to the city to 'play'.

For children, going to the city to walk such a long way is not suffering, but a rare "play".

"Then, do you want to pick some more flowers?" Ah He thought that only some of their flowers were left to dry for storage, and there were still ores that had to be dug again.

"Need." Wen Rong was also thinking about this in his heart.Of the few of them who can really work, he and Ah He are the only ones.A Miao had also carried grass before, but Wen Rong didn't dare to let such a small guy like him do heavy work again, it would make the child unable to grow taller.

"Then...Brother Wen, take A Miao and the others back first, and I will go directly to 'Youshan Lake' from here. There are a lot of new grasses growing there this year." Ah He learned to think independently, and made a decision for them. For the most appropriate arrangement.

Wen Rong laughed, "It's a good idea. But, don't do it alone, you can't do it. Don't forget the huge quantity we need."

"Then, I'll hire people there. There should be people pulling weeds over there at this time. Ah Tu and the others told me last time that not many people know about the new grass growing in 'Youshan Lake'. Now it's their gang. The kids go over there and pull weeds. I'll hire them if I can meet them."

"That's right, you know how to be flexible and use resources reasonably." Wen Rong praised him.

Ah He grinned foolishly, feeling that such a self seemed to be more useful than before.

Transferring the contents of Ahe's straw basket to her own bamboo basket, saying goodbye to Ahe, Wen Rong bent over and bit her back molars, desperately carrying the thing that was two points heavier on her back.

A Miao took the initiative to take care of Dabao. The two children followed him hand in hand. Maybe he wants to help the grown-up Wen Rong share the weight.

After walking for twenty minutes, Wen Rong stopped to wipe off his sweat, but couldn't leave anymore.

It wasn't that his legs couldn't move, it was his shoulders. When he turned his head and smelled some blood, he must have worn out the blood blisters on his shoulders.

"Ah!" A Miao and Dabao, who were walking a little ahead, pointed behind them and shouted.

Wen Rong turned his head to look, and saw a dark shadow running towards them quickly on the undulating white dirt road a mile away.

Wen Rong touched the sweat around his eyes a few times, trying to see more clearly, when he looked intently, the black figure that was just far away was less than half a mile away from them.

This speed!He, who had experienced the foot speed of the people here countless times, was shocked again.

It's so fast.

With just such a godly effort, the other party ran in front of them.

It was the young man Ah Tu.

The only thing in Wen Rong's mind was what Ah He said to him - Ah Tu ran faster than the car.

He thought it was just an exaggeration, but who knew it wasn't exaggerated at all.

This boy is real, he runs faster than a car.

Not sweating yet.

Ah Tu looked at Wen Rong with a red face and breathless, a little shy, "I, I'll take you back."

"Where did you come from?" Wen Rong was not polite, "Ah Tu, help me take off the back basket, let me breathe slowly."

Ah Tu happily went over to catch the big bamboo basket from behind, and helped Wen Rong unload it together.

When it was removed, the part where the strap was connected to his clothes stuck to the worn and injured skin, and Wen Rong let out a cry of pain.

"It's broken." Ah Tu took a closer look, and saw that the bamboo straps of the bamboo basket were stained with blood.

"fine."

Ah Tu put the bamboo basket on his body without saying a word, "Let's go, let's go. I'll take you back, and I'll help Ah He pick flowers and weeds."

"Today you are 'Traveling Mountains and Lakes'?" That's not right, Ah He's speed is not that fast. 'Youshan Lake' is in another direction, closer to 'Ghost Cave', but a bit far from the manor.

"I'm outside the 'Jin Family Manor'." Ah Tu lowered his head and whispered, "Ah He went to look for us."

"Then why don't you go with him?"

"Ahe said that you carry a lot of things on your back, so you must be walking slowly. I, I am fast, and my strength is not bad."

"So you came here on purpose to send us back?" Wen Rong felt warm in his heart.Really cute kids.

"I'm fast!" Ah Tu kicked his foot, "I'm the fastest."

He was wearing a pair of rubber shoes with frayed soles. When he kicked out like this, the soles of the shoes opened and closed, like a big fish opening its mouth.

Ah Tu blushed, and quickly retracted his feet.

Wen Rong acted as if he hadn't seen it, and tried to keep up with his pace.

Ah Tu seemed to be carrying at least ninety catties of weight, and his speed was still at Ah He's normal speed.

Is it human!

Looking at the steady steps of this young man who was about his stature and height, his uniform and light rhythm, and his face without any sweat, Wen Rong secretly marveled in his heart.

This must be due to good genes, even if he had been trained since childhood, it was impossible for him to have such abilities.

It took two hours to walk back to town at such a brisk pace.Wen Rong looked at A Miao and Dabao who had not been left behind from the beginning to the end, supporting his panting body, and had to admit that it was him who was holding back.

I didn't meet many people during the day, and they carried such a large amount of things into the town without attracting attention from others.

Arriving at the door of Ah He's house in District K, he put down the basket on his back, and Ah Tu immediately turned around and ran away. He had to go to 'Youshan Lake' to do some work.

Ah He said that today is a paid employment.

Even Wen Rong couldn't stop the guy, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

He shook his head helplessly, and moved the things into the wooden shed bit by bit.This big bamboo basket couldn't enter the 'door' of the wooden shed at all, so Wen Rong could only leave it outside temporarily.

While he was arranging things, A Miao took Dabao to do something. One of the two children followed his elder brother's example to unpack the paper, and the other helped to separate the paper.

So cute.

Know how to help adults with work without telling them yourself.But it was also because they were so obedient that Wen Rong always wanted to love them more.

This age should not be the age of working, it just needs to play noisily and grow up.

Wen Rong knew that he couldn't talk about them, and he didn't talk about those.After thinking about it, he took out the utensils he bought, as well as the gray flour, and decided to make them a meal.

He didn't have time to make steamed buns for the time being, and he needed to leaven the dough, so he decided to make pancakes as well.

The rye cakes here are actually dead dough cakes, nothing is put in, the flour is simply mixed with Yihe, flattened and baked on the fire, and it is dry and convenient for storage.

Wen Rong made the same dough cake, but he added oil, salt, pepper and some bay leaf powder to the dough, put the two small packets of sesame seeds that the owner of the grain and oil store gave him, and kneaded the dough carefully. Knead the noodles thoroughly and knead the tendons before starting to make cakes.

A Miao and Dabao were attracted by his movements and ran over to watch.

Wen Rong gave each of them a small piece of dough, originally for them to play with, but these two imitated his way of making cakes and kneaded them decently.

Wen Rong bought a lot of kitchen utensils in the second-hand market this time. He had a large frying pan. After washing the pan briefly and putting it on the kang, A Miao immediately understood that it was necessary to light a fire.

There are many warm noodles, and one piece of cake is two times larger than the rye cake outside. The pan can bake two cakes at the same time. When the dough cake is put into the pan, it is slightly stimulated by the fire, and the fragrance spreads throughout the wooden shed. open.

The two little guys squatted by the fire pit, refusing to move, staring at the two big round cakes in the pot.

"Ah!" A Miao wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, raised her face and smiled at Wen Rong.I really want to eat it right away.

"Looking at it, it looks delicious." Dabao praised his father sparingly.He made a point of using the word 'delicious' which he learned from Jiro.

"You can really talk." Wen Rong tapped Dabao's nose with his flour-soaked hand.

"Ah!" Seeing this, A Miao took the initiative to stretch out her small face.He wants too!

After the two large round cakes were out of the pan, they were placed in a second-hand bamboo basket bought back.While waiting for the scones to cool, the children behaved naively, making Wen Rong dumbfounded.

Finally able to eat fresh scones, the moment they took the first bite, the faces of the two little guys were all wrinkled with laughter.

"Is it delicious?" Wen Rong asked.

Dabao took the initiative to bring the scone he took a big bite to his mouth, "Dad, eat!"

Not to be outdone, A Miao made the same move.

Wen Rong took a small bite of each of their scones, living up to the children's warmth.

"It's okay, it's more fragrant with sesame seeds." Wen Rong tasted the taste and commented, "It would be even better if the dough cakes are made. Let's make it next time when we have more time."

The taste of dead noodles is always lacking.However, there are seasonings to make up for it, and it is freshly baked. He put some oil when making and roasting, so you can taste the salty aroma of oil and seasoning, which is much more delicious than the rye cake outside. .

The two children finished eating two in one go and were full, and the third baked one was placed in a bamboo basket. They were reluctant to part with it and looked at each other for a long time.

"Don't overwhelm your stomach all at once." Wen Rong taught them patiently, "I will cook a lot, and I can still eat when I'm hungry later."

He used more than four catties of flour, and with one or two cakes, he could make more than forty cakes, which was enough for today.

One of his cakes is almost half the size of the outside, if it is smaller, it can cover two.

It took nearly three hours to make cakes and scones. When the last pot was ready, Ah He and the others rushed back with their harvest.
