Chapter 307 New Journey

Before Quanzi finished speaking, Lin Shi slapped Quanzi hard on the head, with a sullen face, unable to hide his anger, and said, "Are you still proud? Are you still laughing? Do you know that you ran away, how many people in your family?" People looking for you? And Shuanzi, if something happens to you, how do you ask us to explain to your parents? If you have any troubles, no matter how much money you earn, what's the use of it?"

"We know we're wrong..." Quanzi rubbed his head and said, "You don't want me to go out to do business, you insist on letting me study, I can't help it..."

"Then you can't sneak out." Dong Bao interjected from the side, "Aunt Qiuxia is crying for you, can you bear it? The family doesn't let you go out, it's because you are young, and I am afraid that something will happen to you. When you grow up, don't you just go wherever you want?"

Everyone chattered and then scolded the two and a half older children. The pride and elation of Quanzi and Shuanzi when they first came back were all blown away, and they hung their heads and divided the gifts for everyone one by one.

The remaining ten large silver ingots were given half to Shuan Zi, but Shuan Zi refused to take it, saying: "There is still money! Didn't we agree that each of us will pay half?"

"How much is that capital worth!" Quanzi said indifferently, "Anyway, I wrote the IOU, and you were also kidnapped by me. You should get more."

Lin Fu smiled and patted his son's listless head, and said: "You are a loyal boy! Forget it, don't scold him. When I was his age, I didn't have the courage to run so far , I don’t have such courage to do business. Son, you are better than me!”

Aunt Qiuxia secretly pinched Lin Fu vigorously, and Lin Fu grinned in pain.

"Why are you praising him!" Aunt Qiuxia scolded angrily, "He will run away next time because you are praising him!"

Everyone laughed. Before Quan Zi came back, he scolded him the most. It was Lin Fu who shouted that he would beat him up all kinds of fat when Quan Zi came back. Lin Fu!

Quanzi was praised by his father, raised his drooping head happily again, looked at Lin Fu excitedly, and asked: "Father, can I still go to the capital to sell our products in the future? That’s great! The people in the capital are rich and generous, as long as the things are good, they don’t care about the price! There are also a lot of green-eyed, white-skinned barbarians there. They are also rare for our goods and want to wholesale our goods Go to them!"

"No!" Lin Fu said with a straight face, then laughed under Quanzi's disappointed eyes, and rubbed Quanzi's head, "You have to be led by an adult!" He didn't worry about the two and a half adults The child was on the road, and he was so scared that his heart stopped.

Quanzi jumped up again, Shuanzi over there asked Dongbao to borrow a pen and paper, carefully wrote down a [-] Wen IOU to Quanzi, and said solemnly: "This time, the capital has been agreed on by one person." Half is half for one person, I don't take advantage of you, I don't have any change now, I will return it to you if I change it when I go back, in the future we will work together to do business, and our brothers will have to settle accounts!"

"Success!" Quan Zi accepted Shuan Zi's IOU just like an adult.

The lady Shuanzi, who was staring at the silver ingot, was unhappy, and murmured: "The capital is said not to be used, and you still have to write an IOU!" She was so distressed that it was more than two liang of silver.

Shuanzi immediately glared at his mother, "Mom!"

Shuan Ziniang immediately waved her hand, "That's all, all right, just pretend I'm not talking."

Dong Bao watched with a smile, she thought Shuan Zi was pretty good, honest and serious, following old man Hong's temperament, it's no wonder Quan Zi would play well with him, only such friends are worthy of association.It is precisely because Shuanzi is not as mean and bitter as his mother that Dongbao will help him, let him eat in the store for more than two years, and let Shuanzi's father join the Baoji team to pick tofu and sell it.

When the Lin family and the Hong family brought their children back home, Dong Bao had an idea in his heart, and asked Lin Shi, "Are you still planning to let Quanzi continue to study?"

Lin Shi shook his head and sighed, "I guess my parents don't plan to let Quan Zi read it anymore. Now that he's grown up and has his own ideas, he can't control it. He won't listen to his elders, and ..." Lin Shi laughed, "It's true that his intelligence doesn't lie in his studies."

This time it was a bloody lesson. The elders insisted on this kid studying, but the result was good. This kid was so bold that he ran away from home, and he went to a place as far away as the capital. For others, let alone making money, whether they can come back is a problem.

"If you agree, I have an idea." Dong Bao smiled, "We send two adults to follow Quanzi and Shuanzi, let them transport the goods to the capital or other places, or simply open a tofu shop in the capital, We can't just rely on the Wang family in Anzhou, they..." Dong Bao shook his head. After all, he is not his own. She suffers.

Lin Shi laughed and said, "Quanzi can't wait for this! He has been a wild child since he was a child, he can't sit still anywhere, and all he thinks about is running outside."

"You still have to discuss this matter with Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, and they will agree." Dong Bao said, "As for the money you earn...after removing the capital, the rest depends on the distribution, but there are two things you have to promise me. One is that the price cannot be set high, we are not familiar with the place in the capital, and we earn too much to make people jealous, and the other is that we still have to use the brand of Baoji.”

Uncle Lin smiled and nodded, "What kind of condition is this? Even if you don't tell me, I can't let him sell it for a tael of silver a catty anymore. Who wouldn't be jealous of making so much money? It's his luck that he came back from the capital safely. If someone with ulterior motives targets their two children..."

In May, Dong Bao and Lin Fu discussed for a long time, and decided to recruit five strong men with knowledgeable and reliable personalities from the village, led by Quanzi and Shuanzi, and assisted by Dawei. More than 2000 catties of dried tofu and yuba went to the capital.

"It doesn't matter if you make money or not." Before leaving, Dong Bao warned, "Safety comes first, everyone must come back."

On the surface, Quanzi was very calm and serious, but his heart was already full of excitement. This was the first time he participated in the business as an adult. Of course, he had to try his best to live up to the trust of Sister Dongbao in him.

"Don't worry." Quanzi said solemnly, "We are familiar with the road. I met a boat boss when I went back. He is very nice. We will take his boat to go and come back with his boat!"

This time Quan Zi led the people back faster. Before the end of May, Quan Zi and the others came back, bringing back more than 500 taels of silver. Yes, he was tanned, and he was much calmer. He was not short at first, and he stood there in a long gown, like a steady businessman.

"It's better to run a business to make money!" The people who went with them were all overjoyed. It was the first time they had seen such a profitable business. They just sent the goods to the capital. The previous earnings were not enough to make a trip this time. a fraction of .

Dawei jokingly said: "The boss of the boat has taken a fancy to Quanzi, and said that he will promise his daughter to Quanzi!"

Aunt Qiuxia became nervous when she heard that, regardless of the presence of a group of people, she asked Quan Zi: "You didn't say anything, did you? Don't promise indiscriminately! Those who run the boat are not good at it!"

Generally, people who run boats on the canal are more or less related to the black forces. Otherwise, it would be impossible to run boats on the canal safely. Aunt Qiuxia doesn't want her son to be involved. Honestly, I am a mud leg at home.

Quanzi's face was flushed, and he shouted unhappily: "Mom! You and Dad didn't nod, so why would I say anything! Besides, do you think he has no money? He has dozens of boats on the canal! He was joking with me, how could he be willing to marry his daughter to me, a poor countryman!"

"Oh, that's it!" Aunt Qiuxia felt relieved, and let go of Quanzi who was so shy that she wanted to burrow into the cracks in the ground.

The people around shouted: "Hey, sister-in-law Fu, what are you in a hurry for? Quan Zi sees the sky and runs out, and when he comes back, he will get you a little daughter-in-law to serve you. After a year, there will be ten or so young wives to serve you. Like the old lady from a wealthy family, isn’t it good?”

"Bah! Let's tear up your stinky mouth!" Aunt Qiuxia laughed angrily, and quickly glanced at Dongbao nervously, "We country people don't like that!" She was afraid that Dongbao would feel pimples when she heard it. That unreasonable mother-in-law, Lin Fu devoted her whole life to her, and she hoped that the same would be true for her two sons, no matter whether they had money or not, they could live a peaceful life with their daughter-in-law.

Dong Bao didn't bother to listen to the jokes here at all, she was busy settling accounts, weighing the money, and dividing the money.Each of the helpers was 200 taels, Quanzi and Shuanzi were 50 taels each, Dawei was 50 taels, and the remaining less than [-] taels belonged to her.

Originally, Dongbao didn't plan to share the dividends, but Quanzi and Shuanzi firmly refused, saying that without her method of making tofu and the tofu workshop, no one would be able to make money, so Dongbao could only participate in the dividends.

However, what was supposed to be a happy event turned into an unhappiness in the end.

Everyone has seen selling tofu in the capital to earn money, Dawei is just helping out, went to the capital not only to gain knowledge, but also earn 50 taels of silver, this amount cannot be earned in a year in this workshop, just The money earned by the helpers is also enviable. As soon as the news spread, everyone in the village wanted to follow Quanzi and Shuanzi to the capital. Every day at the gate of Lin’s house, people brought gifts and said that their family was in trouble and wanted to invite Quanzi brothers. "Helping, helping."

Of course, there are some people who are jealous and want to do it on their own. They wholesale yuba and dried tofu, but they finally hired a horse-drawn carriage to Anzhou. The overland route is very expensive and not worthwhile. It's a lot of hard work, but it's far less than what Quanzi earns.

"People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!" Quanzi was chased by the villagers and hid in Baoji's shop, feeling old-fashioned and proud in his tone.
