Chapter 86 The Old Man's Twilight
"That's right. There should be some tools in the warehouse. Although they are a bit old, if they are repaired, they should still be usable. Those tools that used to be good are just put aside because no one pays attention to them."

Oldman spoke intermittently, and it seemed that his mental state was only brought up by force.

He waved his hand, but didn't want the silver coins that Haining took out.

"Those things have been put away for many years, and it's useless for me to keep them. If you need them, you can take them away."

Haining saw his expression and knew that he was not being polite, but really didn't want to take his money.

"I see. There is a sign for rent at your door?"

Haining, who is really not good at finding topics, had to find something to talk about.

In fact, he could have taken those tools and left directly, but for some reason, he always felt that he should stay and chat with this old man for a while, maybe because he used to take care of him, maybe because he always occupied him. Cheaper maybe.
Or maybe it was just because he felt that he should talk to him more or maybe he would never have another chance.

"Ah yes, this store has not made any money for a long time, and now everyone is not very interested in such a store. If I hadn't bought this store before, the old man would have to worry about the monthly rent now. "

In fact, he already has white hair now, so these words sound a bit self-deprecating.

But he actually bought this store by himself. No wonder he clearly thought that there was no business in this store before, and Oldman didn't seem to care much about it.

How about Oldman's store? It looks like a grocery market, and it's also a second-hand flea market. According to Oldman, many things in it were consigned by former people. Many people put down their things and never came back. He had no choice but to pile those things into the warehouse. As time passed, the things in the warehouse became more and more complicated.

"Well, what are you going to do after renting out this shop?"

He was actually a little worried. If Oldman still wanted to go back to his hometown with all his heart like before, what would happen to this messy army? Besides, he was already so old after all, so he was really not suitable for long-distance travel. Trek away.

"Ah, in the future. I don't know. Maybe I should just lie down at home. After all, I have worked hard for so many years. Maybe it's time to rest."

It was obvious that he was going to rest, but it didn't sound like he was relaxing at all.

He suddenly had an idea and thought of an idea.

"If there's nothing else to do, or do me a favor."

There are no shops in Aurong Village, and the local villagers are basically bartering, which is actually not good, and it is foreseeable that as the size of the village expands in the future, a shop will definitely be needed.

"Ah, I'm afraid my old bones can't help you much."

Oldman poured water slowly, and his wobbly posture always made people feel that the kettle would fall over in the next second, but fortunately, this did not happen in the end.

Haining took a sip of water and told Oldman about his time in Aorong.

Of course, he didn't make it so obvious, he just said that he had developed some industries in Aorong, and planned to build a store there and so on.

"Ao Rong. I remember that place is not under the jurisdiction of the lord, can there be business in that place?"

Oldman squinted his eyes and recalled for a while before he remembered what happened to Aurong, but to these outsiders, Aurong's stories were just some trivial things that had been circulated for a while decades ago.

"Well, maybe not now, but maybe there will be in the future, and I remember that your old profession is not a blacksmith, and there is a shortage of blacksmiths in that place."

Judging from his experience in Aurong, the vast majority of people there are still using simple tools made of stone and wood.

If you can lure a blacksmith to go there, you can develop if you don't know.

"It's all old Huangli. I'm an old bone now. I'm afraid it will fall apart with a few swings of a hammer."

That's true. After all, blacksmithing requires years of accumulation. As long as you put down the hammer for a period of time, it should be difficult to regain the feeling you had at that time.

When I think about it carefully, I am indeed a little overwhelmed.

Just when he was about to give up the idea of ​​persuading Oldman, the old man raised his head again.

"However. It's a pity that my skills are so wasted. Maybe it's better to find an apprentice to pass them on?"

When he said this, he seemed to regain his energy all of a sudden, and his eyes became bright.

Sure enough, the old man is the one who can't sit down.
"In that case, why don't you sublease this shop to me? Then I'll take you to Aorong's place?"

But he doesn't really have the confidence in his mind. Although he probably has some ideas, they are the ideas of future people after all. God knows if he can make a lot of money in this world or lose everything.

He estimated the area of ​​the store in his mind, and wondered what kind of price he could afford.

"Ah, if it's you, I don't want you to rent any shop. As long as your business is good, don't forget about me."

Oldman didn't seem to care much about it. Rather, it seemed that someone was willing to take over the store, and he was even happier.

Sure enough, I should come and chat with him more.
The old man looked at him with such enthusiasm, and he suddenly felt a little sorry.

"This is not good, after all, this is your industry for so many years, and we have only known each other for a few months, how dare you accept your kindness like this."

Oldman waved his hands again and again, apparently dissatisfied with Haining's politeness.

"Gude, although I knew at a glance that your name is definitely not your real name, it doesn't matter. The old man has not had a good life for a few years. I have met many people and things in my life. Many people They never appeared in my world again.

Although you have only been friends with me for a few months, I can see that your affection for the old man is sincere, so you don't have to refuse my kindness. Besides, my store is also closed It's been a long time, and it doesn't look like someone will come to ask, why don't I just make a favor for you. "

His tone was so sincere that Haining couldn't think of any extra words to reject his kindness.

"Then what about these things in your store, these many things won't disappear in a while."

Oldman waved his hand, probably thinking that Haining would ask this question.

"Aren't you going to build a new industry in Aorong? Although there are a lot of things in my store, although they are not worth anything, they are basically useful for building a village, and Since you want me to open a new store there, I must have something to sell, so I might as well bring all these things with me."

Well, before I mention it, you've already thought of everything yourself.

"But. I heard that the lord forbids the residents to trade with the people of Aurong. Is this a bit...?"

Sylvia suddenly interjected. Judging from Bristone's previous description, the nearby towns seem to know that the lord forbids trading with Aurong's people, so every time they want something, they can only Pretending to be someone from another village to trade.

As for this question, the old man seemed completely unconcerned.

"Ham, that's all about the previous lord's business. The new lord doesn't even know if there is a village like Aorong. Besides, at that time, if you give some money, you can deal with it. Those officials and lords say The previous set, isn’t it actually just two words, asking for money?”

I have to say that this old man really sees through the world.

Since he intends to bring all the things here, Haining has no need to choose anything. He and Oldman agreed that they will leave for Aorong after packing up in a few days. As for the handling of goods and other issues , the old man said that he can handle it, and Haining doesn't need to worry too much.

It can be seen that after having new things to do, the old man's interest suddenly increased a lot.

When he was about to leave, the old man insisted on grabbing his hand and stuffing a bunch of tea leaves before he gave up, saying that he really couldn't drink these things.

Obviously, he is usually reluctant to drink tea, but now he stuffed a bunch of tea for him, this old man... really.
The corners of his eyes felt sore, Haining turned his face away, not letting the old man see his expression, and got into the carriage first.

The radish is chewing on the apple, which seems to have been found in Oldman's stable, and he is eating happily.

Seeing that Haining and Silvia got into the car, the emperor made a urging sound, so the emperor swallowed the apple in two bites, and the car started to shake.

Ah~ what a beautiful thing this prostitute is~
