Chapter 18: Making Money(1/2)
Qin Chong's injuries were not healed and he could not take a pleasant bath. He could only let San Bao'er wait for him and give him a simple scrub. He changed into clean clothes and sat silently in front of the window, wandering away. However, look at
In San Bao'er's eyes, Qin Zhong seemed to be worried. Therefore, San Bao'er sat aside and did not dare to breathe.
I don't know how long it took, but Qin Muyao's voice came from outside the hospital, and Qin Zhong came back to his senses.
"Are you too brave? You actually beat up Yu Qing." Qin Muyao shouted and ducked into the house.
"I've beaten you all." Qin Chong said lazily.
"Then Yu Qing is Aunt Liu's dog." Qin Muyao looked at Qin Chong and reminded worriedly, "You still let him kneel at the gate. Isn't this a slap in Aunt Liu's face? How could she give up?"
"It's okay." Qin Zhong said lightly, "Aunt Liu just left, and she is probably crying right now."
"Yes." Qin Muyao's face was full of doubts. She had just been in the backyard and heard the chaos in the Oriole Garden. She asked the little maid to inquire and found out that it was Aunt Liu. She suddenly fainted for some reason and was killed by someone.
He was brought back from the front yard. A group of servants and women were busy looking for the doctor.
"I have to cry for two days." Qin Zhong had a teasing look on his face.
"Is it related to you?" Qin Muyao was even more confused and asked with wide eyes.
"It has something to do with her precious son Qin Xiao." Qin Zhong leaned into Qin Muyao's ear and said mysteriously.
"Speak nicely." Qin Muyao raised her hand and hit Qin Zhong, saying angrily.
Qin Zhong smiled faintly and told Qin Muyao what happened in detail. Qin Muyao's expression changed again and again, sometimes angry, sometimes surprised, sometimes sad. After Qin Zhong finished speaking,
Qin Muyao was on the verge of tears. Only then did she realize that she was almost sold.
"Huzi, you saved my sister's life." Qin Muyao suddenly swallowed harder and shed tears.
"Sister." Qin Zhong scratched his head, not knowing how to comfort her.
After a while, Qin Muyao calmed down and looked up at Qin Zhong, her eyes as gentle as water. At this moment, Qin Muyao felt that she was so lucky to have Qin Zhong as a younger brother. In this family, neither her father nor her elder brother could be relied on. Only
With Qin Zhong, no matter what danger he encounters, he will stand in front of him.
"Yu Qing is a man of double-dealing." Qin Muyao warned Qin Zhong softly, "You have offended him severely this time. As a person like him, you must take revenge deliberately. You must be careful in everything from now on."
"Sister, please relax." Qin Chong had already planned and said, "I will send him away in two days."
"Yes." Qin Muyao nodded lightly, it would be best to get rid of it as soon as possible. "But, how could Aunt Liu be willing?"
"Hehe." Qin Chong chuckled, "Sister, have you forgotten? I still have a 'hostage' in hand."
"Don't go too far." Qin Muyao sighed quietly, "He is our brother after all."
"Once we have negotiated the terms with Aunt Liu, we will let my eldest brother go home."
"Yeah." Qin Muyao felt relieved, smiled brightly, and said, "Little Huzi has learned badly."
"Men are not bad, but women don't love them." Qin Chong joked with a smile.
"Hey. Where did you learn those nonsense words?" Qin Muyao said angrily, her face a little red with embarrassment. She stood up, glared at Qin Zhong fiercely, and walked away. Qin Zhong looked at his sister's back, and then realized what happened.
I suddenly thought, did I say the wrong thing? If it was very casual in the future, it would be a bit teasing here.
"Master." San Bao'er poked his head in from outside the door, with an excited look on his face.
"How?" Qin Chong asked lazily.
"As the young master expected, all the servants in the mansion were sent out."
"Yeah." Qin Zhong uttered a syllable from the end of his nose, squinting his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep.
Aunt Liu couldn't find Qin Xiao at home, so she was naturally not at ease, so she sent her servants out to look for her, as she should. However, Aunt Liu was doomed to be in vain and suffer a lot. When she really couldn't stand it any longer, she would
Thinking of Qin Zhong's life-saving straw, it was then that Qin Zhong negotiated terms with her.
"Sanbao'er, what's the most profitable way to make a living?" Qin Zhong suddenly asked.
"Making money?" San Bao'er's mind was in a state of confusion, and he didn't know how to answer. He sifted through all the things he had heard about in his mind before hesitatingly said, "Food, right? Everyone needs to eat.
"
"Think again." Qin Zhong said angrily.
"Salt?" San Bao'er scratched his head, feeling his brain hurt.
"Think again."
"Master, please spare me," San Bao'er cried with tears in his eyes.
"How about the wine?" Qin Chong sat up straight and asked excitedly.
"Wine?" San Bao'er became even more confused and asked, "Young master, can you make wine?"
"No." Qin Zhong was a little discouraged. High-strength wine is good, but the problem is that he doesn't know how to do it. In his last life, he had seen that the main process was distillation and filtration. However, he didn't know how to operate it specifically. How could he do it by himself?
In this world, is it so difficult to make some money?
"We do have a brewery at home." San Bao'er said to himself.
"Do we have a workshop at home?" Qin Chong's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
"Yes." San Baoer curled his lips and said, "But it's all in Aunt Liu's hands."
Corruption is rampant in Shayuan Prison, and officials, big and small, have ways to make money. Qin Yutian, as an eighth-grade servant, naturally has his own business. The brewing workshop is just one of them, and there are also farms where grain is grown and cattle and sheep are raised. Of course,
Strictly speaking, these transactions are illegal gains. But everyone is like this, and no one will break the rules.
Otherwise, how could Qin Yutian support such a large family with only his salary?
This is what is called relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on water to eat water. Shayuanjian is vast and boundless, and the most is land.
Circled together, there is inexhaustible wealth.
Qin Zhong thought for a long time in his room, but he couldn't figure out what to do. He stood up and looked out the window, and saw that the sun was slightly westward. Then he asked, "What time is it now?"
"About Shenshi," San Bao'er said while lying on the window, looking at the shadows of the trees in the courtyard.
"Shen Shi?" In Qin Chong's mind, Zi Chou recited it over and over again before he calculated that Shen Shi was around three or four o'clock in later generations. He patted San Bao'er on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go into the city to have a drink.
"
"Really going to have a drink?" San Bao'er felt that happiness came too quickly and couldn't believe it.
"Let's go have a drink." Qin Zhong said and walked towards the door.
"Hey, Master, wait for me." San Bao'er was delighted and hurriedly followed Qin Zhong.
The two of them came to the gate and walked a little slower. They saw Yu Qing still kneeling on the steps of the gate. He thought he had been beaten by Qin Zhong and had been kneeling for a long time. It was difficult for his body to support him and he was lying on the ground.
He fell to the ground. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yu Qing stirred, straightened his body slightly, and raised his head slightly.
There was still blood on the corner of his mouth, and his face was pale and bloodless. When he saw Qin Zhong coming, he immediately knocked his head on the ground and said vaguely, "Third Young Master, please spare my life."
"Kneel down, don't get up until it's dark." Qin Chong said without mercy. Without stopping, he took San Bao'er out of the gate and walked to the post road. San Bao'er looked back at Yu Qing, with a somewhat expression on his face.
Can't bear it.
"Aunt Liu didn't save him?" Sanbaor whispered. Everyone in the house knew that Yu Qing was Aunt Liu's confidant. Now that Yu Qing is in trouble, Aunt Liu doesn't care?
"She? She has a lot of trouble, so how can she have time to take care of Yu Qing?" Qin Chong sneered. Aunt Liu didn't just ignore it, but she suddenly learned about the horse theft. She was worried that Qin Xiao would get into trouble. It was already a big mess.
Who cares about Yu Qing? No matter how close he is, he is not as important as his own son, right?
Chatting along the way, they did not feel that the journey was far. In less than an hour, the two entered Dali County. Strictly speaking, this was Qin Zhong's first time entering the city. The former Qin Chong had been struck by lightning and died.
.Now inside Qin Zhong’s body, there is a soul with memories of future generations.
Dali County is not big, but its geographical location is important. It borders Tongguan to the south, Pucheng to the west, and the three rivers of Huang, Wei, and Luo meet here. It is an important logistics base for Shaanxi Road. There are not only Shayuan Prison, but also official
Archery institute, ordnance factory, military uniform production, etc. Soldiers in Xiangjun uniforms can be seen everywhere on the streets.
There are many shops in the North and South Streets, including restaurants, tea shops, department stores and food. Even though it is already in the afternoon, the streets are still crowded and lively. The two of them shuttled among the crowds, first found a bank and exchanged fifty taels of silver. General shops are
If you don't accept cash checks, you must exchange money before you can spend money.
Fifty taels of silver notes were received, but they were less than fifty taels, which made San Bao'er complain. Now when you save money in a bank, not only do you get no interest, but you also have to pay an additional three thousandths of a custodial fee. After leaving the bank, San Baoer
Bao'er suddenly became alert, holding Yinzi in his arms, looking around and seeing that no one looked like a good person.
"Master, you have to protect me and don't let anyone steal my money." San Bao'er has grown up, and this is the first time he has gone shopping with so much money in his pocket. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to walk.
"You're only fifty taels, are you afraid of being like this?" Qin Chong glanced at Sanbao'er and smiled, "If you had five hundred taels or five thousand taels, wouldn't you dare to go out?"
"Why should I go out if I really have five thousand taels?" San Bao'er raised his head and said.
"What are you doing at home if you don't go out?"
"Count the silver."
Qin Zhong didn't want to talk to San Bao'er anymore, so he walked away and strode into a restaurant. San Bao'er looked up at the store sign, his face suddenly changed, and he ran quickly to catch up with Qin Zhong. He said quietly, "Let's find another restaurant.
"
"Why change?" Qin Zhong was slightly surprised.
"It's too expensive to eat here." The three-baked child felt very sad.
"It's expensive." Qin Zhong disagreed. He entered the lobby and found an empty table to sit down.
The advantage of the restaurant at this time is that it has large windows facing the street, which is transparent and bright. Sitting in the restaurant, at a glance, you can see all the excitement on the street. Pedestrians are coming one after another, hawkers are coming and going, men and women are of all kinds. It is not far away.
