Since the winter hit, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the popsicle business is getting better and better. Many adults in Liuhe Bay seem to be gradually accepting the high-priced popsicles, which is both painful and refreshing.

Xu Xian added two sets of equipment, and a wing room was transformed into a cold storage. Many wooden basins were placed in the yard, all of which were filled with saltpeter aqueous solution. They could be reused after the water evaporated.

He and Xiaocan were so busy that they never forgot to count the sales volume after working hard. Although there was an increase after entering the ambush, it stopped after reaching a small peak, and there was even a faint downward trend. It seemed that they were still

I overestimated the market capacity of Liuhewan. If I continue to pay off the principal and interest of the temple at this rate, I'm afraid there won't be much money left.

A Liang and Dakui each picked up a load of firewood and put it in Xu Xian's yard. They often went outside the city to collect firewood. In addition to making fires for cooking, they sold the rest to neighbors. In addition to earning a few copper coins, they also

Work hard.

The two of them have reached their age and have grown up. They will join the army in two years at most. They can't cut people if their hands are weak. I heard that they have to lift stone locks at home every day.

Xu Xian also works out at home when he has nothing to do. After all, his body is too thin, which makes him feel very insecure. He could defeat Da Kui with one move last time, but he was overwhelmed by him in the end.

Xu Xian took two popsicles and handed them to the two of them, but the two guys waved their hands and said they didn't want the popsicles, just money.

"I treated you to the popsicles, and the money for the firewood is indispensable to you."

Dakui said: "How can you, a profiteer, be so kind?"

It’s okay for others to say that Xu Xian is a profiteer. You, Dakui, came to my place with a girl to taste it three times and then bought a popsicle and never came back. You still have the nerve to say that I am a profiteer.

"Eat it or not! Here's some firewood money for you." Xu Xian threw him five copper coins.

Dakui collected the copper coins, grabbed a popsicle from Xu Xian's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, "Since it was given to me for free, there's no reason not to eat it, hehe..."

Xu Xian handed the remaining popsicle to Ah Liang and gave him the money for firewood. "Ah Liang, why did you stop buying the popsicles after buying them from me once? How can you endure this hot weather?"

As far as I know, your family doesn’t have money."

Ah Liang chewed the popsicles and said with a smile: "It's true that the family has money, but it was all obtained by fighting with knives. Every copper coin is filled with blood. If you have money to buy popsicles, why not buy some meat and bones to eat?"

You will also gain strength. Once you have strength in your arms, you will not be timid."

Dakui said: "That's right, your popsicles are fun to eat, but when they turn into a handful of water in your stomach, they are unrealistic. In other words, you are deceiving greedy children and women."

A Liang added: "So if Brother Xu wants to make a lot of money, he can't just focus on this three-acre land. He should have a broader vision."

Xu Xian sighed helplessly, "Brother A-Liang thought I hadn't tried it, and wanted to sell it on consignment in a restaurant, but they actually told me that they wanted to split the account between four and six, and they were six and I was four; the people in the brothel even asked me directly.

This ancestral recipe, if I hadn't run so fast, would probably have been buried in the Bianhe River. I thought the temple would be more stable and the pilgrims would be mostly rich, but those bald donkeys said that I smelled like copper and polluted the purity of Buddhism.

Land. These greedy idiots don’t even understand what a win-win situation is? As for walking around in the streets, I won’t go there. This business is too eye-catching and people will be looking at it in two days.”

Dakui asked: "What is a win-win situation?"

"Everyone makes money!" A Liang rolled his eyes at him and said to Xu Xian: "It's really not easy to do business in this chaotic world, but little brother Xu has earned a lot. I will go into battle in the future and I'm afraid you will be the one to fight in the end.

You should be satisfied with one month’s income.”

"Brother Aliang really understands what a win-win situation is. Are you interested in doing business with me?"

Dakui said: "I don't understand! I won't do it! I have to keep the money to marry my wife."

"Why do you keep interrupting me when I'm not asking you? Brother Xu, please tell me how to cooperate. We don't have the money, so we have the strength."

"I don't need your money or your efforts. I just ask you, if you sell popsicles to prostitutes and diners in front of a brothel and restaurant, would you dare to beat someone up? If you set up a stall in front of the Daxiangguo Temple, would you dare to chase away a bald donkey?

People, land hooligans, dare to pick quarrels and cause trouble?"

Da Kui laughed loudly and said: "Whoever dares to cause trouble with us will have to beat the shit out of him!"

A Liang said sternly: "Usually, there are many military boys who cause trouble in the city. During the Tianfu period, the court issued a decree to severely punish them. Later, everyone became more peaceful. When I was a child, my parents often told me not to go to the streets and cause trouble.

There's nothing wrong with being punished for doing bad things, but if we can't do business in a peaceful manner, then others are sorry for us, and both the court and the government know this, and we, the Guardian Army, are not easy to mess with."

Xu Xian chuckled and said, "What I want is the words brother!"

Dakui slapped his thigh and said, "I understand, you want us to help you sell popsicles? You have to give me ten cents a day, right?"

"How could I be so stingy!" Xu Xian stretched out his hands and said, "If the capital is gone, let's split it 50-50!"

People in Liuhewan have always only engaged in one kind of business, that is, the business of killing people. They earn money to marry a mother-in-law and have children. When the children grow up, they continue to engage in the killing business. Very few people change their jobs to do other things.

What, people will die in war? These days, people are not killed for what they do. Few people die in farming, studying, and doing business. The emperor has become a high-risk profession. Why can't people die in the most deadly profession?

They originally thought that letting the naughty children of Liuhewan do business on the streets would be opposed by the adults, but they were overjoyed and started to work one after another. Xu Xian was very curious and asked Lao Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, don't you all think that merchants are cheap?"

I have a lot of work, but I am very busy and energetic."

"Jiubao, please wash our excrement wheelbarrow so that we can put the popsicles in it!" Lao Zhang used his crutches to tell his son to work, then turned his head and said to Xu Xian seriously: "There is no such thing as a cheap job. Anyone who can make money is a good job."

.Those of us have been swaying for generations.

I have been using the knife for two hundred years. I can’t farm, read, or do business. If there is a good way out, no one would want to lick the blood of their child with the knife. Give them a chance and give it a try. Say no.

My Jiubao must be a good business prospect. Hehe..."

This statement makes no sense. How can people be born to be good at everything? They are not allowed to enter private schools or go to the fields, but they are taught to fight, lift stone locks and split wood stakes. This is basically training them to kill. When they are seventeen or eighteen years old, they are directly thrown into the countryside.

In the military, if you want to retire, you have to lose your head, and naturally there is no chance to change your destiny. As for the Nine Treasures, a guy who can't count on ten fingers is definitely not a business wizard.

The naughty children who usually show off their buttocks are rarely fully dressed today. There is also one wearing a jacket. It seems that he has passed on his New Year's clothes and is not afraid of the children getting sunstroke.

Forty or fifty boys and girls lined up in three teams. In front of each team was a wheelbarrow for pulling dung. On each vehicle were three small wooden boxes containing popsicles, and a small triangular flag with the words "Protect" written on it.

Holy Army",

Lao Zhang was lecturing at the front of the team. The female relatives stood on both sides and watched with laughter. There were also people playing gongs and drums, making it look like they were going to war. Xu Xian felt that this group of people were just having nothing to do and had to make some fun.

Look, as for whether they can tap out their children's business talents, they don't care at all. Anyway, the money lost is Xu Xian's.

"Remember, when doing business, greet people with a smile and don't be arrogant. The leader should smile first."

Da Kui immediately opened his mouth and said, "Hahaha! Hahaha! Uncle Zhang, look at how I smile."

"You're fucking singing a big show, just smile on your face, don't make any noise! ​​Come on, you idiot!"

"Hee hee..." Yaozi gritted his teeth and laughed twice, and was hit on the head by Lao Zhang, "You look so treacherous that you will scare people away. You are usually very clever, but it doesn't work in critical situations.

When you get to the street, you can learn from the waiters and waiters."

Xu Xian said from the side: "Uncle Zhang, don't say any more, otherwise the popsicles will melt."

"Okay, let's set off now. A Liang, you go to the brothel and restaurant, Dakui, you go to the Xiangguo Temple, Xiaozi, Jiubao, you go to the dock. Don't steal food or be lazy. You will have your own benefits when you come back. It's a good business.

Don’t stir up trouble, and don’t be polite if someone comes to trouble us. Uncle Zhang will take care of it if anything happens. By the way, Jiubao must settle the account clearly.”

Well, let Jiubao take care of the accounts. I'm afraid the accounts won't be settled clearly.

Xu Xian actually doesn't have much confidence in this marketing team. Apart from the fact that no one dares to provoke them easily, they don't have any advantages. What they worry about most is that everything will be eaten clean by them.

Sure enough, Dakui came back with his people less than half an hour later. Xiangguo Temple was the furthest away, but he was the first to come back. It seemed that they were all eaten before they even got there, and the box containing the popsicles was gone.

All that's left is a wheelbarrow.

Xu Xian gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you also eat the box containing the popsicles?"

"The box was bought and taken away! As soon as we arrived at Daxiangguo Temple and before the stall was set up, a pilgrim in a carriage bought the popsicles and even took the box with him. Such a large piece of silver is not enough

!" Dakui said as he took out a piece of grained silver, the white flowers shining directly into people's eyes.

How can a pile of popsicles and a few wooden boxes be worth ten thousand dollars? Xu Xian was not in a hurry to get the money and directly grabbed Da Kui and asked, "Which big dog family is it that is so heroic?"

"How did I know that when he was buying something and selling something, I asked him what his name was, and he quickly divided the money between us. We agreed to split the money 50-50. First, he gave each of us a popsicle to quench our thirst, and the three donkeys hurriedly

Take off your jacket, it's almost soaked."

If you really are a brainless person, you can see this ingot of money. How can the identity information of a big dog be valuable. But with this certain amount of money at the bottom, even if the other two groups eat all the popsicles, they will still make money.

I originally thought that the business at the brothel was the best, but I didn't know that A Liang didn't come back until the evening. After all, the brothel just started accepting customers at this time. Miraculously, all the popsicles that had melted half were sold.

As for the other route, as Xu Xian feared, he lost all his money. With the bad guy Jiu Bao and the idiot here, it would be weird to make money. In addition, Xu Xian was gratified that the soldiers of the Saint Protector Army

Tiger peel fruit is really useful.

Whether it's the bald donkey in the temple or the tortoise man in the brothel, they are helpless when faced with the military children blocking the door with silly smiles on their faces. They just want to do some small business in peace and security without disturbing anyone. If they really want to use a broom

If we drive them away, their fathers and brothers may come back with knives after returning from the war.

Xu Xian was not greedy for more. He divided the naughty boys in Liuhe Bay into two groups. They went to Daxiangguo Temple during the day and guarded Hua Street and Liuxiang in the evening. He often met wealthy people who spent a lot of money, and even received a lot of extra orders.

In troubled times, those who can afford to visit brothels and temples are those who have some wealth.

The sales volume soared, and Xu Xian and Xiaocan were overwhelmed. They hired the neighbors' sisters-in-law to help with the work, and also invited them to join the long-term operation. It was not that Xu Xian lacked capital, but he really wanted to protect the Holy Army.

Wrap the tiger skin a little tighter.

Unexpectedly, they refused to do it. Unless Xu Xian could guarantee a steady profit without losing any money, it would be good to have wages and popsicles to eat every day. There is no such truth in the world. You and your children and grandchildren deserve to make a living by swinging knives.

"A group of women have long hair and short knowledge!" Lao Zhang shook the stone mill and said to the women around him: "How can there be a business that only makes money but does not lose money? Even if the blade of the knife licks blood, there will be losses. I am not an example. Envy

Brother, I’ll put ten thousand dollars into your popsicle business, but I’ll withdraw my shares after the summer.”

This old money man is worse than those women. Didn't you hear clearly that I am talking about long-term business? You don't trust me. You think I only have a profitable business selling popsicles. There will be times when you will regret it.

Xu Xian was so angry that his liver ached and he was about to go out for some air. But as soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he ran into something even more irritating. A child was sneaking around outside the yard. When he saw Xu Xian, he turned around and ran away.

Xu Xian caught up with him and grabbed his collar, teasing: "Hehe... you did something wrong by running away when you saw me."

This little kid came to his place a few days ago and ate a popsicle for free. Later, his sister came to his door again to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, he dared to come to his door.

After being caught by Xu Xian, the kid didn't run away and threw Xu Xian's arm away, and said seriously: "You're pulling and pulling like a woman."
