Poor family mother and son

Chapter 288 Sanshun Escort Bureau
Because of Chu Yuan's explanation, Xiaobao's next meal finally became more palatable.

But there is a custom in every place, sweetness here, no matter what kind of dishes you cook, you will always add some sugar to taste.

It was okay at the beginning, after all, we ate less sugar in the north, but after a long time, Xiaobao felt that the food covered in sweet taste was not refreshing.

Xiaobao said: "If you continue to eat like this, you might as well be in confinement!"

The sugar here is brown sugar, which is called water sugar locally.

The technical content of the production method is not high: the sugarcane is squeezed by rolling the stone roller; the juice is heated in a pot to defoam, and when it is boiled to a suitable concentration, it is transferred into the sugar pot, stirred with an iron rake, and drained after the sand is cooled, and then solidified. .

The finished water sugar is in the same shape as the container, like a solid bowl. At this time, Chu Yuan was cutting the water sugar into pieces, and Gan Lai grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth.

It is not surprising that something is easy to come by.

There is little sugar available in the north, mainly maltose, and it is also very expensive; here, water sugar can be seen everywhere, although it is not something that the poor can eat every day, but the "official second generation" like Xiaobao can still achieve "Water sugar free".

But when boys get older, they don't seem to like eating sweets so much, so Xiao Bao looked at Gan Lai's bulging cheeks, and laughed at her with his mouth curled up: "Eat it, and you'll see when it becomes a toothless one!"

Gan Lai's strike was like lightning, and Xiao Bao was caught off guard, and Gan Lai tore off his pocket, and took out several emoticon paper bags from it.

Chu Yuan cut up the candies and was about to put them in a small jar so that they could be taken at any time, but Gan Lai cut them all off and put them in a small paper bag. Soon, there was a pile of candies with small emojis on the table.

Xiaobao thinks this is a good idea: "Hurry up, get some more, and bring them back to mother! She must like it!"

Chu Yuan: "Who will deliver it to you? There are just a few people, no one is allowed to move!"

Xiaobao: "Forget it, I'll start the escort bureau first!"

How informal, how unplanned!
No, Xiaobao is checking whether there are "eyes" around him, because Grandpa Huang's actions before leaving reminded him that there may not be other people's eyes and ears around him and his mother.

Therefore, Xiaobao told his mother that he wanted to check the opening of his technician academy, but in fact, he didn't even tell his brothers where he was going or what he was doing.

However, the brothers didn't ask any questions, just follow him.

In this way, Xiaobao led the team to start looking for shops, recruiting talents, and opening an escort agency.

On the seventh day, the Escort opened.

When Chu Yuan asked the shopkeeper of the inn to check out and gave him a stack of leaflets to help deliver, the old shopkeeper was shocked: "My God, so fast!"

The reason why the Escort was able to open so quickly is interesting to say the least.

When Xiaobao went to the street to inspect the shop, he rescued a man who was put on a sack and beat him badly, so he started talking.

This man was Yu Chaoyi, 30 years old, and looked rather thin. His thin cheekbones made his cheekbones a bit protruding. He was the big shopkeeper of the Sanshun Escort Bureau in the county.

Sanshun Escort Agency, which means "smooth wind, smooth water, and smooth will", is an "all-round" escort agency that can handle both water and land businesses.

The scale of the bodyguard agency is small, with less than a hundred people from shopkeepers to handymen, which is considered a medium-sized one in Jiangnan.

But the business has been good, because they can go by water or land, which means "good delivery and mission must be fulfilled".

Since the year before last, their bodyguard agency has been run on and their business has been robbed.

At first everyone didn't know why, but as time passed, they gradually found out some reasons.

It is said that another bodyguard bureau in the county wants to annex them and has been stumbling.

The Sanshun Escort Bureau didn't care, because although the Changfeng Escort Bureau known as "the fastest in the world" had more than 200 people, it only took land to pick up business, not water, so even if they grabbed business, it would have little impact on themselves.

However, in the second half of last year, someone from Changfeng Escort Bureau said that they wanted to discuss cooperation with Sanshun Escort Bureau, and the so-called cooperation meant that Sanshun Escort Bureau would provide water escorts and ships.

This is not to annex it!

Each Escort has its own characteristics, in other words, each shop has its own characteristics.The characteristic of Sanshun Escort is that it can take both water and land routes into consideration.

The main reason for being able to travel by water is that Pingjian, the owner of the Sanshun Escort, and Chao Liu, the "Ship King" of Ganzhou, are brothers of the same school. They are both proud disciples of the "King of Thousand Machines" for thousands of years. He has a knack for shipbuilding.

As the saying goes, "Learn literary and martial arts well, and sell them to the emperor's family." "King Qianji" was appreciated by the imperial court for his thousand-year-old skills. He was hired to manufacture water boats for the imperial court, and he lived in Ganzhou all year round.

Both Ping Jian and senior brother Chao Liu were orphans adopted by Master back then, and the three unrelated people are closer than father and son.

Millennium is a native of Chongyufu, and two of his most proud disciples built ships with him in Ganzhou. Ganzhou is far south of Daxuan, a state city near the sea.

Following a serious illness, all the illnesses accumulated in half a thousand years at the seaside broke out, and the court finally allowed him to return to his roots.

So Ping Jian escorted Master back to his hometown to recuperate, in fact, he was waiting to die.The brother was left in Ganzhou to continue the work of the master and could not come back.

After Ping Jian sent his master to die, he was a little disheartened, thinking that it was really not worth it for his master to be tied up in a foreign land for most of his life because of his ability.

Therefore, Ping Jian no longer went back to Ganzhou, but wanted to start a family business so that his senior brother would not follow the old path of his master in the future.

Ping Jian used his savings to set up a shipbuilding workshop in Chongyu Mansion, which is small in scale and currently only builds some small transport ships.

Later, I met Yu Chaoyi.

Yu Chaoyi is from Yubei County, the hometown of martial arts in Chongyu Mansion.

He was born in a farming family. He was unable to practice martial arts because of his poor health since he was a child. However, he is smart and went to school for a few years when he was a child. Later, natural disasters caused the family to lose all income, and he borrowed money from the landlord to survive. In the end, even the land was exploited by the landlord. Now, he became a tenant.

Farmers in Yubei County almost all became tenants in this way, and their good martial arts passed down from generation to generation did not bring them a living security.

Because he was dissatisfied with the cruel exploitation methods of the big landlord to the tenant—the people who couldn’t pay the rent were cut off, their kidneys were removed, and they were turned into eunuchs—they led the tenants to kill the landlord.

As a result, when the government arrested people, he committed the crime alone to save everyone's life. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to catch up with Emperor Qingde's ascension to the throne, amnesty the world, and was able to regain his life.

The tenants who rebelled against the landlord with him at the beginning all reunited to follow him.

Everyone was unwilling to be tenants anymore, so Yu Chaoyi took jobs everywhere and asked everyone to be caravan guards. After a long time, he became famous.

At this time, he got acquainted with Ping Jian by accident and became brothers of the opposite sex. Ping Jian funded and opened the Sanshun Escort Agency, with Yu Chaoyi as the shopkeeper.

The brothers brought by each of the two joined together to undertake the transportation business of both water and land.

Pingjian has boats and sailors; Yu Chaoyi has a group of kung fu masters. Therefore, the combination of the two phases and one, and then promote each other, making the two-way transportation of the escort agency a feature.

There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many large and small rivers. With waterway transportation, orders for small cargo transportation in the entire Jiangnan area come in droves, and the income of the bodyguard bureau is very objective.

"Today's incident must have been done by the Changfeng Escort Bureau!" Yu Chaoyi said: "The owner usually doesn't care about the affairs of the Escort Bureau, and I will preside over it. Chang Feng wants to annex us, and I have never let go. This is to show me color." Woolen cloth!"

Xiaobao asked him: "Didn't you tell your boss about the Changfeng Escort?"

Yu Chaoyi said: "Of course Chang Feng's intentions must be disclosed to the owner, but it is our responsibility to be No. [-] brothers in the Escort Bureau, and we must not let Chang Feng succeed. This is the principle. So if I am embarrassed, I will not I need to tell my boss."

Don't look at Yu Chaoyi as a person with no force value, but his bones are very hard.
