I sold snacks in ancient times

Wang Kui's father, Wang Dali, is the president of Longyou Trading Company and a well-known wealthy businessman in Yuechuan County.Although the merchants in ancient times had little status, if the money reached a certain level, the local government would have to give them some face.

What's more, Wang Dali's ability to expand the business scale to such a large scale must have inextricable connections with certain officials.

He himself can only read a few words, and has suffered a lot of illiterates since he started business, so he strongly supports education, opened several private schools in the county, and trained children to study since childhood.

Even though the descendants of merchants could not take the imperial examination, Wang Dali still hoped that his son would become a dragon day and night.He gave birth to several sons, all of whom were smart and capable, which made him very pleased.

Unexpectedly, the youngest son, Wang Kui, who was born later, disappointed him greatly.This child has been naughty since he was a child, sneaking on the buttocks of his classmates in the private school, and hanging out in the small hall every day since he grew up.

At one point, a young man came to the door and said that he wanted to marry Wang Kui as a male favourite... Wang Dali was so angry that he immediately used domestic methods to beat the young man to pieces and kicked him out of the house.

As soon as Wang Kui returned home, he found that his beloved young man had been beaten half to death, his face was gloomy, and he said viciously, "I want to run away from home!"

Wang Dali said disdainfully: "You have the ability to leave? Now what you wear and eat, what is not my money?"

Wang Kui was irritated by these words, and immediately walked away.However, he had no money and no place to go, and he didn't even bring out a piece of clothes, so he shivered in a corner, hating himself for being so irrational, but he couldn't bear to go back.

It was severe winter at that time, and the north wind was blowing so hard that it hurt Wang Kui's delicate and tender face.The smell of the steamed stuffed bun shop entered his nostrils, but he didn't have the money to buy a big bun of meat that he didn't even want to look at in the past.

At this moment, Su Zhongyi appeared in front of Wang Kui like a ray of life-saving dawn.Holding two big meat buns in his hand, he bought a bowl of steaming vegetable soup, handed it over and said, "Young master, do you want to eat this? I see you have been staring at the bun shop for a long time."

Before Wang Kui could speak, he grabbed the meat bun with his hands, and started to eat it hungrily.After a few mouthfuls of choking, he gulped down the hot soup, coughed for a while, and said, "I have nowhere to go."

Su Zhongyi looked at the young master of the host family, and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the Wang family has gone bankrupt?"

Wang Kui: "...I just ran away from home."

"Your house is only one street away from here. It's freezing cold. You should hurry back."

Wang Kui shook his head, "Thank you for the buns, I will return the money to you in the future."

Su Zhongyi was still rushing to work in the shop, walked a few steps, saw that Wang Kui was still squatting pitifully on the ground and had no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Young master, what are you doing, father and son are connected, hurry up!" Go back and admit your mistake, the master will definitely not blame you."

"He won't blame me?" Wang Kui sneered: "He has so many good sons, and he doesn't miss me. I'm afraid he will use family law to beat me to pieces."

Su Zhongyi thought about it and found that what Wang Kui said was true.How could it be possible not to blame him for the temper of the Edom family?

Feeling overwhelmed with sympathy, he said softly, "If you really have nowhere to go, why don't you go to my house first?"

Wang Kui turned his head and stared at him, his eyes lit up.

"Although my house is rented, it's a little rough..." Su Zhongyi said shyly, "But I bought a few catties of charcoal a few days ago, and you can burn it for warmth."

In this way, Wang Kui went to Su Zhongyi's house.

The two had been together for half a year, until Wang Kui got tired of each other and was sent by Wang Dali to the rural branch in Crescent Moon Town, and they never saw each other again.

This time Wang Kui stayed at the inn in Yuechuan County for a while, and he was tinkering with the storefront, turning around like a spinning top every day.While watching the decoration process, I also went to the market to buy tableware.

One day, he went to the market to buy more dishes and was negotiating with the shopkeeper.

If it was the past, he boasted that he was a young master, and he wouldn't even bother to accept the money the other party asked for.But now that he wants to do business, he knows that everything must be carefully calculated, and it is a little bit to save a little bit.

Halfway through speaking, Wang Kui suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

What a coincidence, the other party also saw him, and with a big smile on his face, he walked over and said, "Young Master Wang, you haven't returned to Crescent Moon Town yet?"

It was Su Zhongyi.

Wang Kui didn't look at him, and said calmly, "I don't plan to go back."

"Then you have returned to the Wang family now?"

"No."

Wang Kui continued to talk with the shopkeeper: "If each plate can be two cents cheaper, I will buy them all."

The shopkeeper was dissatisfied: "I've already lost money, and if I lose more, I will lose all the coffin..."

Wang Kui wiped off his cold sweat.

The store owner seemed to know Su Zhongyi, he turned his head as if changing his face, and said with a smile: "Why does Xiao Su have time to visit the market today?"

Su Zhongyi smiled and said, "Come to buy some food."

Wang Kui had been arguing with the shopkeeper for a long time over the money, and the situation was at a stalemate. He was a little impatient, so he thought about buying it at the original price.

However, under Su Zhongyi's few words, the store quickly agreed to sell it to Wang Kui at the most discounted price, and included a few plates and bowls as gifts.At the end, he waved his hand and said, "Xiao Su will bring her friends to come often next time!"

Wang Kui: "..." What kind of differential treatment is this?

In the lively bazaar, the crowds are raging.When the two reached the intersection, Wang Kui said, "I'll go first."

Su Zhongyi glanced at him, "Are you going to open your own shop?"

"Well, I plan to do it myself."

"Okay." Su Zhongyi took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Next time your store opens, remember to ask me to come and support you."

Wang Kui didn't answer, he thought he was not familiar with this guy.But for the sake of the other party helping him just now, he still nodded reservedly.

"Where do you live now?" Su Zhongyi blurted out, only to realize that he was too anxious to speak, so he slowed down and said, "You have too many things in your hand, why don't I take them there for you?"

"No, it's just ahead, I'll do it myself."

After all, Wang Kui pushed forward through the crowd.

Su Zhongyi shouted behind him: "Then... see you later!"

"See you."

……

After a day's work, Wang Kui sat at the desk and wrote a letter, unsealed by Qi Yongfan.

He brought the people he knew back to Nanshan Town.

He didn't understand why Qi Yongfan wanted to inquire about the horse farm that sold mules, but he finally got the news, so he picked up a pen and told the other party the address and selling price eloquently.

There is a stable on the outskirts of Yuechuan County. The mules bred in it are of good quality and the price is gratifying.

He hoped that Qi Yongfan could come and see for himself.Of course, if the other party is not available, you can attach the money to the reply letter and he will buy it for you.

After all, the trip from Nanshan Town to Yuechuan County is quite troublesome.

When the ink was dry, Wang Kui folded the paper and carefully stuffed it into the envelope.He didn't know if he could find someone to deliver the letter back to Nanshan Town. He was a little distressed, and felt a headache about sending the letter again.

……

At the same time, Nanshan Town.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is almost the beginning of May.The end of spring is about to be replaced by summer, and the meat quality of crayfish is getting fatter day by day, becoming an indispensable delicacy on the dinner table of the Yin family.

The busy farming season has also ended, and the villagers ran to the town every few days, hoping to find a part-time job.

The business of Xia Xing Tavern remained stable, and it was not a problem to earn hundreds of taels a month.But the one in Crescent Moon Town is a bit worse, barely reaching the level of neither good nor bad.

I don't know where the news came from, it is said that this summer they will be recruited and then go to Korea.This time, regardless of age, as long as he can walk with a handle, he probably has to go to the battlefield.

All of a sudden, people were panicked, and the villages and towns were in turmoil.Everyone wanted to flee to the barren mountains to avoid disasters, and those with boys at home had to think about how to deal with it early.

Qi Yongfan also received warnings from the townspeople, telling him to make plans early, otherwise a young man who doesn't even have a wife wants to go to the battlefield, and he will die in Koryo in all likelihood.

If they were recruited in summer, they would be ready to go in late autumn.If you wait until winter to go to the ghost Gaoli, which is as cold as ice and snow, you will definitely freeze to death.

In this regard, Qi Yongfan has nothing to do.He could only hug Yin Xu's thigh tightly, hoping that the other party would take him out of the sea of ​​suffering.

If not, he probably can only drive his RV into the mountains to avoid the limelight...

The matter intensified, so that the government was alarmed, and a notice was posted announcing that the conscription was purely a rumor.

But no one believed it.The Great Yin Dynasty is notorious for not talking too much, and in the summer, it is estimated that they will still come to arrest the strong men.

Today's Holy Majesty is also notoriously absurd and unreliable.
