Chapter 9: The Young Tiger Sings (Part 1)

Sorry, I'm sorry, I've had too many things these two days and I'm so busy that I'm so busy.

I started typing when I woke up in the morning, but I forgot to update... I suddenly remembered that it was Monday, so I was so shameless that I asked for recommendation votes and clicks.

Today's third update, this is the second update.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Time passes quietly.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Chuang received an unexpected job.

"Let me go to Huaiyin?"

Liu Chuang put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and looked at Zhu Hai in surprise, "What are you going to Huaiyin to do? Am I not a boy visitor from his Mi family?"

The so-called child guest means diners.

In the past, Mengchangjun raised 3,000 diners, but while obtaining support, he also had to assume corresponding obligations. Liu Chuang was not a child guest of the Mi family, and even Liu Yong, because he received the kindness of the old lady Mi, he stayed in the Mi family as a manager and was not a slave of the Mi family.

To be precise, Liu Yong is more like a contract worker hired by the Mi family.

Moreover, he is a contract worker, and there is no restriction. When he wants to leave, the Mi family will not be able to stop him.

Liu Chuang has been reborn for nineteen days and has roughly understood the social structure of this era. Logically speaking, he should make money to support his family at his age. With his strength, even if he can't do anything, it's not a big problem to be a long-term worker.

But for some reason, Liu Yong did not agree with Liu Chuang coming out to work, and his attitude was very tough.

Zhu Hai once persuaded Liu Yong to ask Liu Chuang to work in the yamen. With his identity as a thief Cao, it was not difficult to arrange Liu Chuang into the yamen. However, Liu Yong still did not agree and even had a fight with Zhu Hai, which forced Zhu Hai to give up his thoughts in the end.

But the reason?

If Liu Yong doesn't say it, no one will know.

In short, Liu Chuang was also very surprised about this matter.

Liu Yong does not seem to be a doting person, at least he attaches great importance to Liu Chuang's martial arts and study.

But when it comes to working, Liu Yong is very stubborn. No matter whether it is Liu Chuang or Zhu Hai, he cannot persuade Liu Yong.

Zhu Hai said: "Da Xiong, don't worry. The Mi family wants you to go to Huaiyin this time, not to be his child's guest, but to hire him.

Your uncle didn't agree before, and probably because he was worried that you would be a child guest of the Mi family, which would affect your future. However, since you hired this time, there would be no trouble. If you go to Huaiyin, even if you complete the task, the Mi family will pay 5,000 yuan, which is not stingy."

Two thousand dollars?

This price is indeed not low.

In the first year of Jian'an, hesitation continued to turbulently and prices soared.

One stone beam rice, that is, high-quality millet, costs about four hundred yuan.

In Qu County, the prices are relatively low, but they are about 320 kilograms. Five thousand kilograms are twelve stone beam rice, about 240 kilograms. It may not sound like a lot, but in fact, for an ordinary family, 240 kilograms of beam rice can be considered a considerable income.

One hundred kilograms of Liang rice can be exchanged for five hundred kilograms of corn. Even if Zhu Hai serves in the yamen, he will only earn eleven stones per month, and it is corn, not Liang rice. It takes only fifteen days to travel from Qu County to Huaiyin. Five thousand coins is equivalent to Liu Chuang taking half a month to earn Zhu Hai’s income for two months. No matter how he calculates this account, it is worth it for Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang thought about it and felt that this errand was not bad.

Staying in Qu County all day long does nothing. Although Liu Yong and Zhu Hai take care of him, he can ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing, it is not a long-term solution.

Go out for a walk and gain some knowledge, which is also a good choice.

"Uncle Hai thought, should I answer or not?"

Zhu Hai smiled and said, "Why not take it? Such a good thing is rare... Besides, if you stay at home all day to practice martial arts, it is like working behind closed doors, and it is difficult to break through. The journey to Huaiyin is not far. Although the road is not peaceful, with your current ability, I think it is enough to deal with it. You said two days ago that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles, and practicing martial arts is the same. It is always beneficial to go out and walk more."

Liu Chuang also felt that he really needed some experience.

Although I am not unfamiliar with the Three Kingdoms era, if you want to talk about local customs and culture, you still have to see them with your own eyes.

Most of the TV series and movies in later generations were imagined. If you don’t experience them personally, how can you be considered mastering this era?

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang was relieved.

"Since that's the case, please let Uncle Hai make the decision."

Since Liu Yong was not here, Mi’s family contacted Zhu Hai.

The Mi family also knew that Zhu Hai and Liu Chuang lived together and had a close relationship.

As for why he suddenly thought of letting Liu Chuang go to Huaiyin, Zhu Hai had also considered it seriously. But after thinking about it, he couldn't come up with a clue. After all, Liu Chuang was poor and the Mi family seemed to have no plans, so how could he have unfavorable thoughts for him?

Go, go out for a walk, and have a better experience...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In this way, Liu Chuang responded to this job very well. On the third day when Zhu Hai told him, he packed his luggage and set off.

His luggage is very simple, a horse, a gun, a big axe, two pieces of changing clothes, as well as three or five hundred coins of five zhu coins, and some dry food. The gun is not a Panlong spear! Although Liu Chuang can also use Panlong spear now, he is still not very good at it.

The Panlong Spear is too heavy!

Liu Chuang made a rough estimate. If we follow the weights and measures of later generations, this dragon spear should be around 200 kilograms.

If you use this gun to fight, you will be exhausted even if you don’t wait until you kill the enemy. As Liu Yong said, if you cannot break through the Cangxiong Transformation, it will be very difficult to use the Panlong Spear well. Therefore, Zhu Hai chose a fifty-pound iron halberd snake spear from the Qu County Arsenal. The length is similar to that of the Panlong Spear, and Liu Chuang can barely use it. With a gun and an axe, Liu Chuang is quite confident.

Before dawn, Liu Chuang stepped on the white dragon horse and headed straight outside Qu County.

The Mi family caravan has already assembled outside the city, and the leader is Mishe.

In addition to Mi She, Mi Yuan also accompanied him. Mi She was better at Liu Chuang, but when Mi Yuan saw Liu Chuang, he curled his lips and left, ignoring Liu Chuang at all. Liu Chuang was not angry about this... The bitch is a bitch, very pretentious! He ignored me, I didn't want to pay attention to him. Anyway, it was just an errand. When he came back from Huaiyin, everyone would go their separate ways, so who would care?

After Liu Chuang immediately returned the favor with the Mie, the convoy set off on the road.

When the convoy disappeared from the horizon of dawn, a fast horse galloped out of the city and headed straight for the Mijia Horse Farm...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It's bright, it's bright.

The Mi family caravan suddenly stopped when they reached Shilipo.

The elk rushed forward, "What happened before? Why didn't you stop moving forward?"

"Mi is in charge of the business. Someone blocked the road in front of the Seven Miles slope, saying that he wanted to talk to Liu Chuang."

Liu Chuang followed the convoy and heard the manager's answer, he was stunned, "Who is looking for me?"

As he spoke, he drove his horse to the convoy and pulled his horse forward to look.

I saw three people standing in front of the Ten Miles slope, blocking the convoy's way.

Liu Chuang recognized the leader, but he was Pei Shao from Yanshuitan, Yilu Township.

Why is he here? What's the matter with me?

Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel strange because he believed that he had not had much friendship with Pei Shao, and had only met once, and even said a few words.

"Why is it him?"

Mi She came to Liu Chuang's side and recognized Pei Shao at a glance.

Liu Chuang scratched his head, looking confused, "How can I know? I'll just ask him."

As he spoke, he urged his horse to move forward, and when he was about ten steps away from Pei Shaoshang, he stopped the White Dragon Horse.

"Boss Pei, why are you stopping the convoy here?"

Pei Shao rode a green horse, wearing a worn-out red flannel armor, and a yellowish headscarf tied in his neck.

He urged him to come immediately, and immediately bowed, "Do you think I want to come?"

Just because you, a kid, went out for the first time, someone was worried that something might happen on your way, so I asked me to go with you so that you wouldn’t have an accident on your way... I really don’t know where you are such a big show. It’s just a trip to Huaiyin, but I want you, I’m Pei, to suffer with you."

Liu Chuang was stunned!

"Is it my Uncle Hai invited?"

"Nonsense, if it weren't for him, who would have cared about you so much?"

A warm current surged in his heart, and the honest smile appeared on Liu Chuang's face again, "For this reason, thank you Boss Pei."

"I don't agree!"

But before Liu Chuang finished speaking, Mi Yuan rushed forward and shouted loudly.

"Brother, these people are unknown, how can they easily get them into the caravan?"

Mi She was also a little reluctant. Although he knew Pei Shao, he didn't know much about Pei Shao. This guy was in Yanshuitan and was obviously a desperate person. If he had bad intentions and was doing bad things on the road, he might cause huge losses...

Originally, Mishe planned to discuss with Liu Chuang in private.

Unexpectedly, Mi Yuan ran out and yelled like this, which immediately made Mi mess up.
Chapter completed!
