Xiaoqiang took the steak and began to taste it with an intoxicated look on his face, "It smells so damn delicious!"
"Brother Liu, why do you think there are so many delicious foods today?"
There was a trace of sadness on Brother Liu's face: "Didn't you listen? The master is back. If I hadn't followed him to pick him up before, hey... I never wanted to get down to this!"
Xiaoqiang originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel depressed, and a huge sadness enveloped his heart.
"Brother Liu, I also want to pick up the master. Let's not do business. We just eat swill every day and amuse ourselves here."
Brother Liu's mood came and went quickly. While Xiaoqiang was talking, he was already rummaging for food in the swill bucket again.
Hearing Xiaoqiang say frustrated words, he slapped Xiaoqiang on the back of his head and said angrily: "What swill? Look what this is?"
Xiaoqiang took a closer look and saw that Brother Liu was holding a shrimp in his hand and his saliva began to secrete crazily.
"Brother! Brother! Shrimp, there are shrimps!"
Brother Liu broke off half of the shrimp and threw it to him, and said proudly: "This is not swill, this is seafood with juice!"
Xiaoqiang didn't even remove the shrimp shells and stuffed them into his mouth, muttering: "Brother, these are river shrimps."
"Stop talking nonsense! There is also Shopee here!"
With half a shrimp in his belly, the happy time was fleeting, and Xiaoqiang became depressed again: "Brother Liu, the master is back. It's not a problem for us to beg for food on the street. What if the master looks down on us? I don't want to be looked down upon by the master. .”
Brother Liu immediately scolded: "Fart! This is our legitimate profession, what can we do without food? You came late, I don't know, don't tell me, even the master..."
At this point, Brother Liu covered his mouth. Generally, no one in the county would dare to talk about Fang Zhengyi's dark history.
But seeing his disappointed look, Brother Liu couldn't help but comfort him: "Xiaoqiang, we have nothing to lose now. I owe the county more than one hundred taels of silver, and my wife and children have run away with me." .”
"But so what? Life has to go on, and sooner or later we will return to the peak of our lives."
When he heard that his wife and children had run away, Xiao Qiang burst into tears and said in a tearful tone: "Brother Liu! I don't want to eat anymore. My childhood sweetheart ran away with someone because she didn't want to make progress... I like her, I have to Chase her back!"
Brother Liu was furious: "Fucking fart! Does that mean you are not motivated? Then he thinks you are poor!"
"Your childhood sweetheart marries Old Man Sun as your concubine, and Old Man Sun is going to make progress? He's over sixty, and half of his body is buried at that age. What's the use of making progress?"
"Fuck! That old bastard, I get so angry when I mention him! He knew in advance that the county wouldn't accept monkeys and he tricked us!"
Xiaoqiang was heartbroken when he heard this: "No way, my childhood sweetheart is not such a person."
"Haha, don't be an idiot. If you hang out with me, you'll have money in the future. What kind of girl can't you find? When the time comes, I'll invite you to Xueyue Tower to have a good time, and you'll live there from now on!" Brother Liu promised, patting his chest. , then asked: "How much money have you asked for this month?"
"Thirty-seven taels," Xiaoqiang said in a muffled voice.
Brother Liu was a little dissatisfied: "I asked for more than sixty taels, but you only had thirty-seven taels. I didn't scream when I saw it! Work harder tomorrow. With our ability to make money, it won't take long for us to start a new life."
Xiaoqiang licked his lips: "Brother, I want a lot now, but I can't play for a long time, right?"
Brother Liu smiled disdainfully, stepped forward and put his arm around Xiaoqiang's shoulders. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and whispered: "Don't say such depressing words. After failing twice, I am no longer the same person I used to be."
"Now that I have a set of business knowledge in my mind, I might be able to make a lot of money by publishing a book in the future! Let me ask you, do you know which business is the most profitable?"
Xiaoqiang turned over the swill bucket with one hand and said absently: "I don't know."
After losing money twice, Brother Liu has lost all his prestige. The only way he can get it together is purely based on emotion.
Brother Liu smiled proudly: "Any business can make money if it is done well, but if you want to make big money, it must be..."
"What must it be?" Xiaoqiang's curiosity was aroused.
"monopoly!"
"monopoly?"
Brother Liu said mysteriously: "Yes, as long as we can monopolize any business, we will do it! How can we not make money if we are the only two doing it? Think about it."
"There are no beggars in the county now. We are the only ones begging on the street. Doesn't that mean we have a monopoly? Otherwise, how can we get one hundred taels of silver a month? Go and ask around, he will ask for it in a hundred years." Not enough!"
"There are many rich people in our county, and there are no beggars. We are still known as "lunatics". We don't spend money on food and accommodation, just making money! It's time for us to get rich!"
"Brother, you seem to be right!" Xiaoqiang's eyes were lit up again.
"It's not just right, it's absolutely right. Look what this is?" Brother Liu said and took out a stack of paper from his arms.
Xiaoqiang was surprised and said: "Brother Liu, you still spend money to buy paper?"
A look of pride appeared on Brother Liu's face, and he whispered: "This is a flyer. It tells the story of an ordinary person who showed kindness and rewarded a beggar, and his kindness was rewarded. There is also an advertisement printed in it, which we usually The restaurant we went to.”
"Let's take this and stick it on the street at night, and the next day you just sit back and wait to collect the money!"
"We are the only beggars in the county. Where can they go to give alms after seeing it? You taste it, you taste it carefully!"
Xiaoqiang's eyes flashed: "What a fool! Brother Liu, you're awesome! But I still feel embarrassed to beg for food...I'm afraid that if time goes by, others will really treat me as a beggar."
"Just take it! What a world, the county laughs at the poor but not at the prostitutes! It's true that you have money and a house. Then everyone will look down upon you!"
"It's just your childhood sweetheart, so what if you have been a good friend since childhood? Old man Sun is so stupid. He bought a cup of buttered popcorn for five taels of silver and won it for her. Isn't it true that he can do anything with money?"
Xiaoqiang muttered: "I thought only idiots would buy popcorn worth five taels of silver..."
"You're the idiot! That's not for ordinary people. What little girl can bear five taels of popcorn! This is a shortcut for rich people to get women. You are too young!"
Brother Liu was persuasive: "You're right, let's make a lot of money first, and when we have the capital, we can start to make money in the house! Now that the county is open to the outside world, the house is getting more expensive year by year, and the public stalls are all on the street." Got it!"
"When we have money, we will first find a piece of wasteland outside the city from the county! We will build a three-story building, create a community, and then build a road directly to the city gate. When the time comes, it will be sold out!"
When Xiaoqiang heard this, he immediately felt unreliable and asked: "Who wants to buy a house in the wasteland outside the city? Then it is better to live in an inn."
"What do you know? I have some connections in the county. I have a few friends at the toll station. When the community is built, I will issue a sign to the residents. From now on, entering and exiting the toll station will be free!"
"Let's come up with another concept and call it Xincheng. If we find more people to support us, the house will sell quickly! It will sell out! By then we will be the richest people in Taoyuan County!"
"Brother, you are so reliable!"
Fang Zhengyi was still chatting with Ao Chen, looking at the excitement on the faces of the two beggars on the ground, showing a trace of unbearability.
Damn it, Taoyuan County’s record of zero beggars was broken by these two bastards, but it’s not a problem to always beg for food on the street.
Then he said to Ao Chen: "At the beginning of next month, the whole county will issue a notice that no one is allowed to give alms to beggars. Give them a serious job and don't mess around all day long!"
