Chapter 30 I want to make money now!
As a young man from the Celestial Empire who traveled through modern society, Luo Xia's way of thinking is more advanced and avant-garde than anyone in this era.
He is not a man of great patriotism, he believes that men are taller than women.
Some things can be done by men and women; some things can only be done by men or women.
Men and women have their own functions, so there is no need to be petty.
Those who dare to muster up the courage to say no to difficulties are all admired!
Therefore, when Penelope looked at himself with a little nervous look and waited for his answer, Rorschach suddenly became serious and answered this question from the bottom of his heart:
"Women are also part of this country, and of course they should have the right to vote! I can't see anything wrong with fighting for their own rights."
Rorschach's sincere answer made Penelope, who supported the right to vote for women, feel very happy.
The blue eyes that looked at Roxa were already filled with deep trust.
He is really special, completely different from other men.
He is willing to listen to different opinions rather than blindly oppose them.
If it were him, I would definitely support me!
The recognition of others made Penelope's long-suppressed desire to express himself seemed to have found a channel to vent:
"yes!"
"But in Rhodes, that dirty and disgusting place! The rest of my family, the Gray family... the men who lived in the dark ages wanted to deprive everyone of their rights and return to the feudal era..."
Speaking of excitement, Penelope's face turned red and his fists clenched: "They said I shouldn't attend those events, it would only shame the family's reputation. I just wanted to fight for better benefits for women, that's all..."
"Those men thought we wanted to take away their jobs and everything they had..."
Looking at the rich lady who had always been elegant and polite, suddenly became such an indignant warrior, Rorschach couldn't help but sigh.
This soft girl is quite thoughtful.
Rorschach still has a good impression of such an independent woman with progressive ideas.
Naturally, he didn't want Penelope to dance too happily like the feminist leader in the game, which caused a murder.
After considering the words, Rorschach said again:
"I don't think that your efforts and other women will be ignored."
"But before you succeed, you must protect yourself. Although dying for noble ideals is indeed glorious. But living is more valuable than dying..."
Luo Xia, who has been walking around the gates of hell, has a deep understanding of the value of life.
Meeting Rorschach's deep black eyes, Penelope, who was already a little above his head, seemed to calm down slowly:
"You've made sense..."
At this time, perhaps the two were chatting too much that other guests in the tavern had noticed their discussion and were sneaking around.
With his eyes blinking, Rorschach took out a dollar bill from his pocket and placed it on the table, saying casually:
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go out for some breath."
Upon hearing this, Penelope turned back to the quiet and elegant rich lady, and nodded obediently.
Perhaps he shared his thoughts and opinions all of a sudden, and Rorschach also listened carefully and recognized them. Penelope suddenly felt that the distance between him and Rorschach was much closer.
Standing up, she held Roxa's arm again, suddenly approached his ear, and whispered:
"Thank you, Rorschach. Thank you for listening to me, I...I don't have friends in the manor who can talk to you."
Feeling the faint smell of soap floating on the other person, Rorschach raised his eyebrows, "You're welcome, Penelope. If you don't dislike it, you can tell me anything."
After a pause, he did not forget to use his index finger to make a shut-up gesture on his lips, and joked: "I promise I won't tell anyone!"
Seeing this, Penelope smiled like a flower, holding Roche's arm's hand, and couldn't help but tighten it, as if he was afraid that the man would run away from him:
"OK!"
...
Penelope stayed for two days.
During the two days, Rorschach was not only asking about the situation of the Towns Ranch from time to time and the private brewing business, but almost always accompanied Penelope around.
Sometimes he went out to raft by the lake, sometimes he taught her how to ride a horse, sometimes he went to the ranch to cook dinner for ranch workers.
Penelope has no airs as a rich lady, treats people kindly, and works very hard to adapt to life different from the manor.
This surprised Luo Xia, and his favor for her also doubled.
Who doesn’t like such a simple and innocent soft girl who treats others kindly?
However, what Rorschach didn't know was that Penelope cheered himself up when he tried to adapt to all this:
come on!
Penelope!
If you marry Roche in the future, if you want to become a competent wife, there are still many things to do.
Why not start learning now and perform well in front of him!
If Roxa knew what she was thinking, she would definitely not be able to help but complain:
Girl, you're thinking too far, right?!
At the same time, the private brewing business is progressing well.
Because private brewing does not require taxes, it is cheaper than normal alcohol and has higher purity, it is very popular among Valentine alcoholics.
The remaining five hundred bottles of private wine were sold in just two days, and the sales reached 900 US dollars.
Yachi told Rorschach that after deducting the cost of 300 US dollars, 10% profit share, and labor expenses, the final profit of this batch of wine will be 600 US dollars!
Roxa suddenly felt that selling alcohol was more prosperous.
However, such a huge profit is only once.
The next time each batch of wine purchased from the Braceway family is only 8.5 off.
Moreover, from the next time, the transportation costs and escort costs will be borne by yourself.
This is another expense.
Even so, Rorschach calculated that for every six hundred bottles of wine sold, he could still make about four hundred dollars!
Selling alcohol like this is much more profitable and safer than risking your life to hunt down wanted criminals.
Although the relationship with Penelope quickly heated up, I noticed that the young lady had no disguised affection for her.
However, Rorschach is not in a hurry to develop further with Penelope.
On the one hand, it is because you know that you will leave the world sooner or later, but it is really not suitable to establish a long-term relationship with others;
On the other hand, it is also because he still has the task to complete.
You know, his top priority is to make 30,000 US dollars in half a year.
Although the girl is delicious, the money is even more delicious!
To borrow the classic quotes from Brother Hao:
I don’t believe in any bullshit romantic love stories now, I want to make money now!
What's the use of just envying others? We have to act on our own and become richer than others!
Of course, making money is not the most important thing, but it is the prerequisite for important things.
Money is not omnipotent.
But you can’t have money!
