After all, Liu Gao had been a housekeeper in the Liu family for many years, and he was indeed better at handling things than Huo Laosi. Early the next morning, Liu Gao got up early and started working. By the time the others got up, the wash water had been prepared, and the gruel and noodles had been prepared.
The bread has been laid out, and even the horses pulling the cart have been fed.
"Yes, he does better than Fourth Brother. After all, he comes from a wealthy family."
Liu Gao chuckled: "I don't have any other skills, but I know this. I can't just sit around here, sir. I can do whatever I can!"
"Okay! From now on, all these things will be left to you!" Su Renyi greeted: "Let's all eat! Liu Gao will also sit down!" This is considered to be a formal recognition that Liu Gao is one of his own.
It rained today, so I couldn't walk or go out, and I couldn't even go to the yard. Huang Shisan led the guards to perform their duties seriously, and Huo Laosi asked people to move the goods back into the house to avoid getting wet in the rain.
Huo Qianshi, Leng Yue, and Huo Zhilan were talking in the inner room. Only Su Ren, Leng Jun, Huo Jin, and Liu Gao were left in the outer room.
Looking at the light rain outside the door, Su Ren raised his head and glanced at the sky. The clouds were overwhelming and dark: "It seems that it won't stop for a while. Fortunately, it's bright in the southeast, so it shouldn't rain for long."
"Hey!" Hawking sighed: "This damn weather, it rains whenever it says it rains. The sun was so beautiful yesterday, why is it raining so early in the morning?"
"The sky has unpredictable events, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Everything is arranged by God. How can we mortals know about it?" Leng Jun sat cross-legged on the cushion beside him, like an old magician.
Su Ren shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. It makes sense for it to rain. When it's hot, water vapor evaporates and floats in the sky as clouds. When it's cold, it falls to the ground as rain. When it's colder, it's snow. Suddenly it becomes snow.
It's cold, and the water vapor is directly frozen into ice cubes, and what falls is hail. It's autumn! The cold air from the plateau comes down and meets the humid hot air here, and the water vapor condenses, and it's normal for it to rain."
Hawking and Liu Gao seemed to understand what they heard. Su Ren said it simply, and heard every word and sentence clearly. It was incredible when they were put together. The two looked envious. Hawking even asked: "
Brother, tell me, when will this rain stop?"
"It's hard to say. When cold air and hot air meet, it's like two armies fighting. No matter which side wins, the rain will stop. The difference is that if the cold air wins, the weather will get colder, and the hot air will
Win, the weather is still warm, it is almost October now, the temperature difference between the four seasons in central Sichuan is not big, the wind is blowing from the southeast, I think the rain may stop in the afternoon, the weather is still warm!"
"You are deceiving the public with your monstrous words!" Leng Jun was unconvinced by Su Ren's theory.
"I think what the eldest brother said makes sense! It sounds like that's what happened!" Hawking agreed very much and turned to ask Liu Gaodao: "Do you think the eldest brother is right or the second brother is right?"
"Ah! Uh..." Liu Gao suppressed his blushes and his neck became thick. He looked at Su Ren and then at Leng Jun, lowered his head and said nothing.
Hawking originally expected Liu Gao to stand on his side, but when he saw Liu Gao looking forward and backward, he snorted: "You haven't changed your bad habits yet! You don't even have a stand."
Su Ren chuckled and patted Liu Gao on the shoulder: "It's okay. This kid just likes to make things difficult for others. Leng Jun is still his master. Look, this kid has now destroyed the ancestors of the Six Bully Masters."
"Whoever deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, I helped you, and you still ridiculed me!" Hawking stood up.
"Okay, okay, don't get excited, I was wrong, I will apologize to you!"
Liu Gao finally had a smile on his face as he watched Su Ren and Huo Jin making trouble in the room.
In the afternoon, the rain stopped as expected. The sun came out, and the warmth on the body was particularly comfortable. Several people had already forgotten Su Ren's prophecy in the morning. Only Liu Gao looked at Su Ren in surprise, thinking that Su Ren was a god.
Although the rain stopped, the road was muddy. They were going to Chengdu this time to move house, and the goods were heavy and heavy, so they couldn't walk on this road. Taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon, a large group of people decided to go for a walk on the street. Huo Laosi and Liu Gao volunteered to stay
After going down to look after the house, Su Ren took Leng Jun, Huo Jin, Leng Yue, and Huo Zhilan to the street.
The street is full of shops and farmers selling silk. The place where they live is relatively remote, and they come to the main street by twists and turns. It turns out that the silk market has not stopped because of the rain. Those with umbrellas put them on their arms
The noise was even louder down there. Those who didn't bring an umbrella were all wet, and when the sun hit them, they felt like immortals.
Su Ren and others were followed by three or five strong men. They came all the way, attracting everyone's attention. No one knew whose family these young men belonged to. Some silk shop owners with a lighter business would even greet a few people to take a look.
Just halfway through, I suddenly found a shop with a large facade. There were the most people here and it was also the liveliest. There were nine shops in a row, and each one was packed with people. On the top of the three shops in the middle, there was a long plaque
, the three big characters "Xiangfu Hao" are particularly eye-catching.
"I didn't expect Fatty Cui to have such a good business here. If I had known, we wouldn't have lived in that desolate courtyard."
Su Ren winked at Hawking. Hawking rolled up his sleeves, waved his arms, and squeezed in from the crowd: "Come on, let's go, my boss is here!"
There was a chaos in the good business, and many people turned around and started to curse. When they saw three or five strong men behind Su Ren, their curses immediately became much quieter.
The waiter at the door was busy when Huo Jin suddenly burst in and slapped the long table with his palm: "Where is your shopkeeper? You don't welcome distinguished guests when they arrive. If Fatty Cui knows that you treat my elder brother like this, you, the shopkeeper, don't treat me like a shopkeeper."
Already."
The waiter looked carefully at the man in front of him. Although he was tall, he didn't have all his hair. One of them sneered: "Whose doll are you from? See where this place is? If you know your senses, get out of here. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
!”
"What can you do if you're not welcome?" Hawking glared and punched the long case hard. Fortunately, the case was strong, otherwise it would have broken into two pieces and would have broken a leg.
"You! What are you going to do?" The waiter in the store immediately lost his arrogance and hurriedly backed away, shouting as he did so: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, someone is making trouble!"
The curtain opened, and a rich middle-aged man came out from behind. This man had a good appearance, a square face, and had never spoken. He had a smile on his face. He made people feel friendly at first sight. Standard.
Merchants dress up with wide robes and long sleeves, and square mountain crowns high above their heads.
Faced with Hawking's arrogance, the man bowed his hand and saluted: "I wonder what our guests need? This small shop specializes in silk, with various styles and qualities. Although it cannot be complete, it can still meet the requirements of all our guests."
"Are you the shopkeeper here?" Huo Jin jumped up and sat directly on the long table with silk: "This Xiangfu name is the property of Fatty Cui Jiuming of Zitong?"
The man smiled slightly: "Young Master, do you know my Young Master?"
"It's not acquaintance, just acquaintance!" Hawking chuckled: "What did Fatty Cui not tell you?"
The man thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "I wonder what the young master means?"
"Oops! Didn't I tell you that my eldest brother is here? Do you want to treat me well?"
"My eldest brother is...?"
Su Ren straightened his body, with pride on his face: "If you want to ask my eldest brother, you have to know where we come from. To tell you the truth, Su Ren from Wenshui County is my eldest brother!"
The business of the Xiangfu Hao has been disrupted by Hawking, and it has long been impossible to do it. Everyone on the third floor and the third floor of the house gathered around the door to watch the excitement. At first, everyone pointed and thought that Hawking, the stupid young man, would get a beating today.
Hit. When Hawking said the name Su Ren, the whole place fell silent instantly.
In the past six months, the words "Laojun Guan Wenling Salt Company in Wenshui County" have become well-known in Shu. Not only because of the bag salt there, but also in recent times, various furs, medicinal materials, wood, gems, etc. have been brought from Yelang.
The goods have also been spread out, and everyone doing business wants to get in touch with the legendary Su Ren whom Laojun watched.
When the man heard this, there was not much surprise on his face: "It turns out to be Mr. Su's brother. I am blind and didn't see it. I wonder why the young master came here today?"
Hawking's pride did not have the effect it deserved, and he pointed at the man helplessly: "What do you mean? My eldest brother and us came to your place, why don't you entertain us well?"
"Oh...!" The man seemed to have just understood, and then said: "I am the shopkeeper of Xiangfu House. Apart from collecting and selling silk, my boss has not explained anything else. Please forgive me."
"You!" Hawking hit a soft nail and was a bit stuck. He was about to smash the stall, but Su Ren reached out to stop him. As he walked out, he glared at the shopkeeper: "Okay, very good! Just wait, I can't cure it.
You, Fatty Cui will never get around you!"
When a group of people came out, the crowd burst into laughter. Everyone regarded Hawking's group as swindlers, but instead praised the shopkeeper.
After this happened, no one wanted to continue shopping.
On the way back, Hawking was still aggrieved: "This Fatty Cui actually made us lose such a big person. Next time we see him, we must deal with him well."
Huo Zhilan was on the side giving advice to his brother. Leng Jun and Leng Yue shook their heads silently, especially Leng Jun, looking at Su Ren's constant sneers, his face was disgusting, and he wanted to beat him up just by looking at him.
Su Ren glared at Huo Jin: "Okay! It's normal for people not to know each other. Jiu Jiuming is not a god. How does he know when we are leaving and why we will stop in Mulberry Town? What's the use of being angry? This is not warm water.
, it’s not possible for everyone to know you, but actually this is a good thing, it lets us know that we can’t always rest on our laurels and sleep on it!”
"I think that guy is sincere. If Fatty Cui hadn't given me such a bad breath, my surname, Huo Jin, wouldn't be Huo!"
"Pa!" Huo Laosi appeared out of nowhere and gave Hawking a hard blow: "Son, I've betrayed you! If your surname is not Huo, what do you want your surname to be?" (To be continued)
