I sold snacks in ancient times

When Qi Yongfan was busy making smoothies with a broken cooking machine in the kitchen of the caravan, a dusty guest came to Nanshan Town at night.

The horse-faced man rode a tall horse, took advantage of the moonlight to see a big rock standing on the side of the road, wrote "Nanshan Town" in three characters, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"drive!"

The horseshoe whizzed away with billowing smoke and dust in it.

……

Qi Yongfan went next door to deliver watermelon smoothies to Yin Xu, and Ye Zi also came back.He went to get another bowl, walked to the door, and suddenly saw a figure through the shadow of the whirling tree.

The horse-faced man got off his horse and said with a smile, "Brother Qi, let's meet again."

Qi Yongfan thought in his heart that he had finally waited for this elder brother. After giving that letter, Ma Fengwo disappeared like a stone sinking to the bottom of the sea. He almost thought that his plan would fail.

"Wait for me, I'll deliver something."

Qi Yongfan hurriedly sent Shabing to Yin's house, before he had time to say anything, he hurried out.He gave Ma Fengwo his address in the letter, but he didn't expect the other party to come to him after such a long time, which surprised him for a while.

It was already very late at that time, and the guests came from afar, Qi Yongfan logically said that he should welcome him home.But there was an invisible RV parked at his house, so he had no choice but to suggest that Ma Fengwo ride a horse and take him to Xia Xing Tavern, and cook a meal for the other party to clean up.

Ma Fengwo hurriedly waved his hands and said: "You are welcome, no need, I am here this time to discuss with you about the express delivery mentioned in the letter."

"No hurry, let's eat, drink and eat meat first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!"

Qi Yongfan was a little excited, and awkwardly got on his horse, and the two galloped towards the town in the dark.

At the same time, Yin Xu was standing at the door of his house, witnessing all this with his own eyes.

In the dark night, he saw Qi Yongfan got on a man's horse, and the two seemed to be very close.

He couldn't tell what kind of feeling he was feeling in his heart, but he was stuffy, just like today's weather that was about to rain, he was a little sad for no reason.

He turned his head and glanced at Qi's small courtyard.He knew very well that since Qi Yongfan never let others into the house, there must be the other party's secret hidden inside.

He originally planned to sneak in to have a look one day when the other party was away, but at this moment, he was in no mood.

He felt very disappointed.With such an identity as myself, one day he would do something sneaky just because he wanted to know someone?

That's all.He closed the door and put the finished porcelain bowl aside.

Candles were lit in the yard.Ye Zi held the bowl and ate the smoothie with a spoon, her eyes sparkled, and she said excitedly, "Young Master Qi is such a genius! He can always make so many strange things."

Yin Xu smiled, curled the corners of his lips, and immediately returned to his expressionless face, walked into the house, and turned around and said, "Let's rest earlier."

……

But over there, Qi Yongfan led Ma Fengwo and sat in the corner of Xiaxing Tavern.After serving the food and wine, Ma Fengwo looked around, took a sip of the wine from the bowl, and couldn't help admiring: "This is a good wine!"

Even at night, the tavern was still full of people.The shop is brightly lit, extremely lively, and filled with the smell of grilled skewers.

"Drink more if you like." Qi Yongfan poured him wine and said, "I'll find an inn nearby for Brother Ma, you can stay here, and we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Yeah." Ma Fengwo looked a little lonely.

"Is it a long time ago that I wrote Brother Ma? I don't know why you came to me now?"

"After the farewell that day, I wanted to go to the government to try to see if I could still catch up with my skills. But I didn't expect that the government would reject me and drive me out...even my A group of brothers can't find anything good to do after returning home. Some of them are impatient, and they are already thinking about falling into the bandits."

"This is amazing." Qi Yongfan said in astonishment: "Are they going to be bandits?"

"Not yet." Ma Fengwo smiled wryly, "After all, both my wife and children need money and things, if I were really cornered, maybe even I would become a bandit."

It's okay for Qi Yongfan to want to be a bandit. Now that the government doesn't do anything, and they have to recruit soldiers, isn't it beautiful to be a mountain king?

Of course, he just thought about it, and said: "I told you in the letter that in the future, I will definitely make money by doing express delivery with me. I opened this tavern, and I also opened it in Yuechuan County The family needs to deliver food on weekdays."

"I know, the day before yesterday I suddenly remembered the letter from brother Qi, so I took the liberty to disturb you. But isn't the courier you mentioned similar to the escort agency?"

"It looks the same on the surface, but it's actually not the same." Qi Yongfan explained with a smile: "Like your bodyguard agency, it only serves the rich and specializes in escorting a single business, which is time-consuming and inefficient. And the express delivery I want to open , is to serve everyone. Whether you are a merchant or a beggar, as long as you pay a small price, you can help consign the goods or letters. If there are more people, the intermediate profits will be considerable.”

Ma Fengwo listened to a bunch of professional terms, half understanding.

Qi Yongfan was not in a hurry to instill theoretical knowledge in him, the two had enough to eat and drink, and sent him to the inn to stay temporarily until tomorrow.

……

Ma Fengwo left after living in Nanshan Town for two days. He has basically understood the operation process of express delivery, and is going to ask his brothers to form a general form.

Qi Yongfan trusted him very much and gave him a sum of money to make things up for himself.Originally, the Escort and the courier had the same effect, so he should be able to get started soon.

Express delivery is something that can only be done well by local snakes who know the local area very well.Qi Yongfan had limited energy, so he simply asked them to get some dividends on a regular basis.

The initial capital investment was huge, buying mules and renting shops and so on almost wiped out Qi Yongfan's family fortune.

Fortunately, the courier company quickly took shape and gained momentum, gradually developing in the entire Yuechuan County.

Qi Yongfan named the "company" "Shunfeng Express".

In the middle of summer, when it is very hot, Shunfeng Express has reached the point where everyone knows it locally.

……

With the arrival of summer, the town became much deserted during the day.Probably because it was too hot, no one went out on weekdays.Only when the sun goes down and in the evening, will people gradually come out to walk around.

Watermelons are on the market, and vendors selling melons can often be seen on the roadside.A very heavy and thick melon. It is not cheap to sell, but it is very sweet.There is no pesticide pollution, and the pure taste of nature.

Qi Yongfan saw the stall on the way home and suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten fresh fruit for a long time.Always eating snacks and dried fruit, I always feel unhealthy.

So he paid for a melon.Originally, he wanted smaller ones, but the stall owner told him that these watermelons were growing well and were very big, so why not sell them to him at a lower price.

He agreed, and finally returned home with a heavy bag of melons.

Put it in the refrigerator for a while.It hasn't been frozen for long, so I took it out and cut it, and tasted a slice first, it was really sweet.And the taste is not the same as what he ate in modern times.

Many modern fruits are fortified with sweeteners such as cyclamate. Fruits are eaten for health, but the more you eat, the less healthy you become.Everyone can only buy the kind of organic food that claims to be pure natural and pollution-free, which is frighteningly expensive.

Qi Yongfan was full by himself, so he cut a plate and sent it to Yin Xu and Ye Zi to taste.

It is also the season of bayberry.When he walked into the gate of Yin's house, he saw Yin Xu was lazily lying in the pavilion reading a book and eating red bayberry.

The burgundy one was caught between the man's fair and slender fingers, and it looked very pretty.He bit it down, and the juice flowed between his lips, which was bright red, quite attractive.

Yin Xu heard the noise, looked up at him, pointed to the bamboo basket at his feet, and said, "Do you want to eat red bayberry?"

Qi Yongfan walked over with a plate, and said with a smile, "Why didn't I see it on the street?"

Yin Xu said casually, "Someone gave it to me, it's very sweet."

"Have you washed it?"

"Hey, you can eat from my bowl, the leaves have been washed."

Qi Yongfan put the cut watermelon beside him, picked up a bayberry and put it in his mouth.It's really sweet and melts in your mouth, with just the right amount of sourness.

Yin Xu took a slice of watermelon with his chopsticks and ate it, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Why is it so cold?"

Qi Yongfan laughed and said, "Put it in the well and freeze it."

The red bayberry was delicious, and Qi Yongfan ate seven or eight of them in one sitting.Finally, my mouth hurts from eating, so I stop to drink some water.

"If you like to wait, take more to eat later." Yin Xu said.

The leaves are cooking dinner in the kitchen, and the wind brings the smell of food.Qi Yongfan took a sip and said, "Yezi's cooking skills have been improving recently."

"It's not bad, barely enough to eat." Yin Xu commented critically.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Yin Xu was lying on the chair and was about to get up, Qi Yongfan said he would get it, walked over and opened the door in two or three steps.

A young man in a blue shirt with the words "Shunfeng Express" embroidered on the left collar handed over a letter and said, "There is a courier from Mr. Yin Xu, please sign for it."

The corner of Qi Yongfan's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that Ma Fengwo's business level developed so fast and looked so decent in just a few days.

He turned his head and shouted, "I have your letter, so I signed it for you?"

"Ah."

After he signed with charcoal, the young man rode his broken tricycle, and the mule drove away majestically.

There was a big red flag on the rear of the car, with flowers painted on the side, it looked like the style of an escort agency, and it was written "Shunfeng Express".

Qi Yongfan thought to himself, Ma Fengwo is quite smart.You don’t have to teach yourself this kind of advertising effect.

He went back and gave the letter to Yin Xu, and ate another bayberry.

Yin Xu glanced at the letter, did not open it, put it on the side, and said slowly: "The new Shunfeng Express is pretty good, it's the first time I saw it, it's very fresh."

"Yes, yes." Qi Yongfan cooperated with the performance.

"You can send letters, and you can also send money and food. It's much better than the Escort." Yin Xu sighed: "A few days ago I saw a woman write a letter to her husband who was a soldier, and it only cost 20 yuan. A lot of money, very cheap."

Before Qi Yongfan could reply, he heard a knock on the door next door.The little brother shouted just now: "Is Qi Yongfan there? Mr. Qi Yongfan, here is your courier!"
