The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 56
The landlord invited a member of the accounting department to come over and act as a witness.Immediately sign the contract and press your thumbprint, and it is considered a deal.

I found a vacation day and went to Dupu Village again, specifically to find Ergou.

"Auntie."

"Runtu, you are really promising. You sent your whole family to the city."

"Auntie, Brother Ergou is here. He can also go to the city with me to make money, and he can also bring you all to the city."

"Can I not know what my child is like? He doesn't have that ability. He still goes to the city. What can he do in the city? If he is at home, he still has at least one piece of land and silkworms. It is still possible to support the family. "

Runtu went to look for Ergou, "Brother Ergou, your leg injury is healed."

"It's all right, alive and kicking."

The injury at that time was scary to watch.

The flesh was injured, but not too deep.

As long as it stops the bleeding it's not a big deal.

After so long, the wound has already healed.

There is only a thin and narrow scar on the leg.

It may take some time for it to subside completely.

John's suturing skills are very good, and he handled Ergou very well.

"Brother Ergou, why don't you follow me to the city?"

"What am I going to do in town?"

Runtu was studying in the city, and the neighbors all knew it.

What can he do in the city?

Do you have a lot of strength to do the work? It feels like doing things at home.

"Do business."

"How can I do business. And doing business requires capital."

Everyone has thought about being prosperous, but they all just think about it.

Too many restrictions.

Doing things requires capital, and if you lose the fight, the capital will be gone, and life will be even more sad.

Few people have that kind of courage.

Runtu: "Brother Ergou, help me, I will give you wages, four taels of silver a month. I have already bought a shop in the city, and I am doing the business of medicinal materials. But at present, I only sell two kinds of medicines. It is very simple. You don’t need to know about pharmacology yourself.”

Two kinds of medicines are packed in two different boxes.

Just looking at the store, this job will be very easy.

Work out first and do something else later.

"They sell proprietary medicines, and one of them is the medicinal powder I gave you last time, which can relieve pain and stop bleeding."

"Four taels of silver a month?"

"For the time being, it's four taels, but in the future when you make a lot of money, it will be a few hundred taels, a few thousand taels."

The medicine business will be easier.

Especially Banlangen.

But the early stage will be more difficult.

For pharmacies, more people will choose time-honored brands and familiar shops.

For a time-honored brand, its signboard can be worth a lot of money. The signboard may be worth the money, and the medicinal materials may be similar.

What Runtu wants to do is to put up his own brand.With a good product, a little marketing, it's only a matter of time before you make a lot of money.

I know fewer people.

In the future, I will look for someone who can stand on my own.

The process of developing a person is too long and will fail.

But if it is cultivated, it will be more handy to use.

Runtu had some understanding of Gui Laoqi and the three of them.

The main problem is that there are too many fights.

One of them is gambler, one is lustful, and the other is aggressive.

But at the very least, he doesn't smoke opium. As long as he doesn't smoke opium, Runtu can bear it a little bit.

Although he is gambler, lustful and aggressive, he usually does not bully people for no reason.

As the old saying goes, the poor live with treachery, the rich grow up with a conscience, if there is something to do, those gangsters' behavior will subside a little.

In this way, Brother Ergou is more suitable.

A fellow countryman, a playmate since childhood, who knows everything well, with this kind of friendship, there will be no troubles.

Ergou was moved by Runtu and wanted to go to the city.

But he had to talk to his family first.

Runtu went to Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, Brother Ergou, come with me to the city. Only in the city can we get ahead."

"What should I do with the land at home? There are still so many silkworms."

"How much money can you earn from farming? How much money can you keep after paying so much taxes? Every year, there will be a few months when there is no harvest."

At that time, there is no food to eat, and the cocoons need to be sold for money.

Barely able to cope with life.

Eat less each meal, eat half full at most, and plan to go, and the time without eating may be shortened a little.

The common people nowadays want to eat like crazy and have a full stomach, which is a relatively extravagant thing.Half full is pretty good.

"Auntie, that's what I think. Brother Ergou, follow me to work in the city. Give him four taels of silver every month. When the business is good, Brother Ergou's wages will also increase."

"What did you say? Four taels of silver?"

Aunt Zhang couldn't believe it.

After that year, it was more than 40 taels.

The money his family spends throughout the year is only a dozen taels.

If you still need to buy something, like clothes and cloth, you will have to spend a little more.

Runtu directly handed it to Aunt Zhang with four taels of silver.

Aunt Zhang said this earnestly: "Ergou, from now on, you will work hard with Runtu and learn your skills. You don't have to worry about family affairs."

What kind of land is four taels of silver a month?But he dared not delay his son.

"Mother, don't worry, I will study hard."

Now Runtu has a horse-drawn carriage, and it is more convenient to use a horse-drawn carriage to travel a little farther away.

He thought that Ergou had a talent for learning foreign languages, so he must be well cultivated, and he would be taken to John's Church if he had nothing to do.

So many things, medicinal materials, rice, and so on.

It is estimated that many people who know Runtu are puzzled, wondering where they all came from.

Especially his neighbors.

Runtu also had an excuse.

As long as others ask him, they will push everything to foreigners.

People nowadays are very afraid of foreigners, and few people are willing to take the initiative to deal with foreigners.

Foreigners from other places.

Neighbors have indeed seen Mike deliver and take things to Runtu's house.

He drove Ergou to the shop in a carriage.

Such a big house stunned Ergou.

"Is this your house? Rented it?"

Runtu: "I bought it, it's not expensive. Brother Ergou, you will be the shopkeeper here in the future, and you can make up your own mind about some things. After working for a few years, you can also buy a house in the county town, and then you can buy a house for your family. Pick up the city. Here's the key."

Runtu gave him the key and said some more things.

He felt more at ease with Ergou.

There is a saying that it is not necessary to use people who are suspicious.

But that's all in a well-understood situation.

The original owner still had memories and knew Zhang Ergou very well, so naturally he had no doubts about him.

As for Gui Lao Qi and the other three, they were a little bit wary, watching the time, time is the most test of people.
