Qingyuan is a county town after all, so it takes a lot of effort to sweep the streets.
These three people didn't even have a plate of peanuts on the table, and they were bragging about their presence to the empty table, which shows how bad they were.
Just these four murderers?
Anyway, here’s a plate of peanuts and a pot of old wine!
Despite being poor, Zhou Xiaozhou was still willing to spend this small amount of money and asked the waiter to buy them a cup.
"How do you recognize me?"
"My brothers also played a role in getting you out of jail that day. They took a look at you from a distance and then left, so as not to taint your bad luck..."
"Have you just taken one look at him and tainted his bad luck? We have been doing very badly recently. Last time we brought back two bags of spiritual rice, we almost finished them. We can hardly open the pot..."
"You can be tainted with joy just by looking at it. Do you deserve to be called the four murderers?!"
"That's right, from now on I have to be called the God of Mold, so I'm worthy of sitting here drinking..."
"The God of Mildew doesn't sound good, he's called the God of Failure..."
"It's even worse. I have to call him the God of Poison to be scary enough..."
After just one sentence, they kept chatting. Zhou Xiaozhou was too lazy to pay attention to them. He finished a glass of wine and wanted to add more, but he couldn't even touch the flask.
"Whoever dares to pour one more drop will be expelled from the four murderers."
"Expulsion is not enough, you have to be hung up and beaten..."
I'm a little uncomfortable getting along with these so-called charlatans, all of them seem to be sick...
The deadly scholar was considered a normal person. When he came over, he happily pulled Zhou Xiaozhou to the upstairs seating area.
Not everyone is qualified to go to the upstairs seating area. At least you must have the money to treat guests, or the ability to get others to treat guests.
The upstairs is indeed a private room, much quieter.
Good wine and good food are served casually, and they are all people who are really prosperous and successful in this industry.
Before, Zhou Xiaozhou was just an escort in the escort agency, randomly pulling him over to join in the fun.
Now, his status has skyrocketed and he has entered the ranks of masters in the world, and his salary is naturally not low.
"Brother Zhou came just in time. We have a good deal and we are short of people."
The deadly scholar gave me a look that made you understand, "What is missing is good hands, and dividends are indispensable when things are done."
Zhou Xiaozhou asked: "What's the matter?"
"There is an escort agency that wants to transport a batch of jewelry to the royal city, which is worth a lot of money.
Their protective power is also very strong, there are more than a dozen bodyguards, so we have to recruit enough good ones..."
Robbery the escort agency!
Zhou Xiaozhou was still a member of the escort agency. He really didn't want to do such a thing. He shook his head: "So far, I'm still a good person. I've never done anything bad. I don't want to go astray. Please ask someone wiser."
The fatal scholar smiled: "This kind of thing is indeed difficult the first time, and I gradually got used to it.
It doesn't matter, if you don't do it this time, we'll talk about it next time.
Everyone will be short of money sometimes. When you are really short of money, come to me. "
Give him the opportunity to make money. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a misfortune to know such a person.
Once you step in, you will sink deeper and deeper.
The fatal scholar treated him to a meal with good wine and food, and formed a good relationship with him.
People who are professional at doing bad things are good at forming good relationships.
Robbery is indeed one of the fastest ways to make money and is full of temptations.
Although Zhou Xiaozhou wanted to make money quickly, he didn't go to the point of robbing, so he resisted the temptation.
The money you earn seriously can be spent with a clear conscience, and you won't be surprised if you knock on the door in the middle of the night. It is much more comfortable.
The next day, he drove his carriage to solicit customers outside the west gate of Qingyuan City.
The destination is Dingwuguan, a journey of more than 500 miles, and the asking price is 50 coins per person.
It can still fill a car with six people very quickly.
If you squeeze in a bit, a dozen or so people can fit in it.
It’s not like there are no people doing this business. There are even some who pull open ox carts. This is an express train with BMW-level service. The charges are higher, and there are also high-end customers who are willing to ride.
The road conditions in this area are much better and it can be reached in two days.
He was quite satisfied with being able to earn three hundred coins in two days. After arriving at Dingwuguan, he happily called people to run back.
If everything goes well, after deducting the cost of horse chewing, carriage depreciation or repairs, etc., you can still earn three or four taels of silver a month.
But it would take three or four years to get even one gold coin.
When you spend money, you spend it happily, but when you want to save money, it is so difficult.
"Going to Qingyuan County, we'll be there in two days, fifty coins per person, we'll leave immediately..."
After shouting for a long time, only three people came, so I had to change the slogan, "Take me halfway..."
A man and woman came over and asked, "Are you going to the royal city?"
Going to the Royal City is no longer just a matter of passing by.
Zhou Xiaozhou said: "It depends on the price and whether it is worth going."
"Ten taels of silver."
We have traveled more than a thousand miles to the dynasty, and ten taels of silver is a very gratifying price. He said: "But we have to go to Qingyuan County first, and deliver the guests in front of us, and then go to the royal city.
People cannot stand without faith. "
From Dingwuguan to Qingyuan County and then to Wangcheng, it’s a bit of a detour.
The two men nodded, naturally willing to associate with people with credibility, even if it was just a ride in a car.
"Can."
Zhou Xiaozhou stopped shouting and the five guests also set off.
"Etc., etc····"
Two more people came over to stop me, "Are you going to Qinghui County?"
Zhou Xiaozhou nodded: "You can go, one hundred yuan per person."
"Can."
There are two more guests.
Whether six or seven people ride in this car, it doesn't matter, it's just that it will be a little crowded.
There are so many things to enjoy when you go out, and you generally don’t care too much about it.
The harvest was good after this trip. Zhou Xiaozhou was so excited just thinking about it that he started running faster and faster.
Zuo's car is indeed a good one. It is of good quality and comfortable. It is specially built for the travel of dignitaries and is not comparable to ordinary horse-drawn carriages.
This horse is also quite majestic and belongs to the level of a war horse. It would be a waste to pull it over to pull a cart.
But this configuration is indeed a top-notch configuration. Zhou Xiaozhou is young and energetic, his skills are getting better and better, and the carriage can run quite fast.
Even if he missed the inn at night, he built a bonfire, cooked a decent meal for everyone, kept the guests safe all night, and saved them money.
These guests were very complimentary.
The next day, I ran to Qingyuan City, passed through the city, and dropped off the three guests one by one, before leaving the city and heading north to Qinghui County.
"Young man, you will definitely do well in this business and you are very business-minded."
The woman who was among the guests in the royal city said with a smile, "If you are interested, come to our Wanbao Pavilion. You will definitely have a future."
Wanbao Pavilion?
From the name, it sounds like the business is going to be huge.
Zhou Xiaozhou asked: "How much salary will you pay?"
The woman said: "You're new here, so you can't get a high salary right away. You have to prove your ability, be recognized, and get an important position before you can get a relatively high salary.
You are young, as long as you work for a few years, you will definitely get a good position, money is not a problem..."
"The problem is there's no money."
Zhou Xiaozhou rolled his eyes, "I'm just a little boy, earning a few hundred yuan a month, but this coachman doesn't like me anymore."
The woman still advised him: "As a person, you have to take a long-term view, especially for someone as young as you. You must have a long-term plan. You will only achieve nothing in the end."
After running dozens of miles out of the city, it got dark and we missed the inn again.
The main reason is that he is not familiar with the roads in this area.
Find a place to build a bonfire.
"Guys, we can only make do with it tonight. We will try to find a hotel where we can stay more comfortably tomorrow night."
When he turned around, he was shocked to see two guests who were going to Qinghui County holding knives against two guests who were going to Wangcheng.
