Zhou Lang and Zhou Lang looked around Zhou Lang, and then dragged Manbao to ask for a long time. After confirming that Zhou Lang was not disabled, they breathed a sigh of relief, immediately picked up their bags, thanked their neighbors and went home with them.
"Before, the fourth child only told us that you lived in the second alley from Kangxue Street, but he didn't tell us which household it was. We could only ask along the way."
After entering the courtyard, Zhou Lijun immediately poured water for them, and then Man Bao asked, "Second brother, why are you here?"
After Zhou Zuorang drank the water, he said: "Can we not come? I was scared to death when I received your letter at home. We packed up and came over the next day and took a ride for only half the journey. The caravan was leaving.
We have no choice but to walk on our own, hurrying and taking our time. We just entered the city today."
Zhou Zuorang said: "We were all very worried along the way. You didn't say anything clearly in your letter. You only said that the fourth child was robbed, his things were stolen, and people were beaten, but you didn't say how he was.
My parents didn't sleep all night, and before dawn the next day, they asked me to go to the county town and ask the sixth child to come and have a look."
In fact, his father's original words were, "If something happens to a person, he must return to his roots. Don't let him be left outside. Manbao and Erya are still young, so don't wrong the fourth child."
At that time, the Zhou family felt very heavy. The Zhou brothers were more optimistic than the elder Zhou, and felt that the fourth child was really in danger, so there was no way he could not write it down in the letter.
However, I am still very worried about Zhou Lang's condition. After all, it was a robbery. Who knows how injured he is?
Now that they had received Man Bao's repeated assurances and knew that Zhou Lang's arm would not be disabled, they began to teach Zhou Lang a lesson.
Zhou Erlang: "I told you a long time ago that you have to be low-key when doing things, especially when it comes to making money. If you don't shout out, who will know that you are lucky to be wheat seeds? Then can others rob you?"
Zhou Lang angrily said, "I didn't yell. How did I know that those people knew that my car was a wheat seed?"
Saturday Lang said: "Fourth brother, you are too stupid. If they rob you, just let them carry it away. You still want to fight with more than a dozen of them by yourself? You are not lucky."
He said: "Fifth brother and I fought when we were young. You taught us to run away if we couldn't beat him, but you ran away."
"That's right," Zhou Lang found another reason to scold Zhou Lang, and scolded him even more confidently, "He is still the overlord of Qili Village. He became a gangster for nothing. He doesn't understand the principle of running away if he can't fight. I think you
Have you lost your mind after making money in the past six months?"
"Who said I didn't want to run away? Then I have to be able to run away!" Zhou Lang shouted: "As soon as they rushed up, they dragged me out of the carriage, threw me to the ground and beat and kicked me. What could I do?
, I was about to cower like a turtle, and I had to be beaten to death by them."
"Besides, can I really run? It doesn't matter if I don't want the wheat seed. Can I lose the horse? Do you know how much a horse costs? That's not our horse." So Zhou Lang met someone who had a tendency to rob behind him.
Only then did Chen Erlang want to keep the carriage so much.
Seeing that the fourth brother was so excited that his face was red, and thinking that his brain was not clear yet, Manbao quickly helped Zhou Lang to speak, "Second brother, sixth brother, please stop talking about the fourth brother. Who wants to encounter such a robbery?"
, no matter how those people knew, they are just bad people anyway."
"That's right, that's right," Zhou Lang said aggrievedly: "If you don't scold the person who robbed me, why are you scolding me?"
"Who said not to scold?" Zhou Zuorang said: "We have scolded all the way, isn't this why I scolded you when we have had enough?"
Zhou Zuolang: "Not only did we scold, my father and mother also scolded me at home. The scolding was so severe that my father and mother even went to beg Master Tianzun to send down thunder from the sky to kill those evildoers."
Man Bao: "There has been no thunder in Yizhou City in the past few days."
Thursday Lang:......
After chatting, they finally got down to business. Saturday Lang asked: "Has the family started harvesting grain?"
"What a waste of food. Knowing that you have been robbed and we can't even eat, how can we think about collecting food?" Zhou Lang said: "If it weren't for the yam, ligustrum, and ginger at home now,
It’s the critical time of harvest, even the eldest brother and the third child are here.”
Zhou Lang immediately said: "Second brother, I have found a good seller for the medicinal materials. Don't sell them fresh at a low price."
"I know that my fifth daughter-in-law knows how to prepare medicinal materials, and her preparations are better than ours. We went to the pharmacy in the county and asked about them. Shopkeeper Zheng said they were better than what we made before, so in addition to the ones shopkeeper Zheng asked for,
We have collected the rest and will transport them to Yizhou City for you later."
Zhou Lang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Man Bao, and motioned to her to mention hiring someone to transport food.
When Manbao wrote back to ask his family to prepare a large amount of wheat seeds, Zhou Lang and others did not pay much attention to it. After all, Zhou Lang's life and death were more important than business.
But now that Zhou Lang is alive and well, the business seems to be much more important than Zhou Lang.
Zhou Zhoulang thought for a while and said: "If we buy so many wheat seeds at once, we can't get it on credit. Our family will have to spend all our money, right? Not to mention that you are still renting cars and hiring people in Yizhou City. How much will it cost?"
Man Bao then called Zhou Lijun to bring the abacus and calculated an account for Zhou Lang, "Second brother, winter will come in a few days. The Tang County Magistrate wants to distribute all the wheat seeds before the end of the year, so let's
I have to hand over all the wheat seeds to him before the winter solstice. I did the math..."
Man Bao and Zhou Lijun calculated how many kilograms of wheat a cart could haul, and how much money they could earn after taking into account the purchase price of the wheat, the horse and carriage fees, and labor costs.
And they planned to transport fifteen carts of wheat seeds at one time...
Zhou Zhoulang was stunned and asked: "Can you earn so much?"
Man Bao nodded, "Ask Fourth Brother, how much money can he earn for one round trip?"
Zhou Lang didn't even need to ask him, because they had settled scores between the brothers in the past six months, and of course he knew how much money Zhou Lang could earn from this round trip.
"Although the fourth brother earns more per car than we earn by renting a car and hiring a car, his car is a trip. How much can we earn per trip?"
Zhou Erlang struggled fiercely in his heart, then slapped his thigh and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to the car dealer and take the car back to tell my parents that my eldest brother and I have searched in several nearby villages and are looking for fifteen lanes."
It’s not difficult to plant wheat, it will be ready for you in three days at most.”
Zhou Zuorang said: "So, three days after I leave, how about you rent a car and hire people, and let Lao Liu take them home to transport food?"
Saturday Lang nodded, "That's it, but second brother, I don't have much money on me. It's okay to hire people. The people I'm looking for can all be paid on credit first, and then I'll pay them after I settle the account with County Magistrate Tang. But the car
Renting a car requires not only rent, but also a deposit, which cannot be paid on credit."
