Chapter 28 Rent a Camel

After returning home, Chen Mu didn't go out to plant trees, instead he replenished the goods in the store, and then sat in the store to sell things and sell them to passers-by.

There are quite a few people who are interested, but no one pays for the experience. Chen Mu, who imagined the prospect is very good, is actually very frustrated after sitting in a daze all afternoon.

Even before going to sleep, he was still thinking about this matter in his heart.

"Is the price too high?"

"Would you like to lower the price?"

……

A good night's dream.

After waking up the next day, Chen Mu went back to his home in Shuiqiao Village and started to tidy up the house.

When Zhang Zizheng came over today, there was only one bed in the store and he couldn't sleep on it, so he had to make preparations early.

Shuiqiao Village is a village of the Xia nationality.

The houses in the village are brick houses built by the villagers themselves. Better-off families, or villagers whose family members earn money outside, build two-story small buildings, while the average ones build one-story bungalows.

Chen Mu's house was built by Grandpa Chen himself.

Grandpa Chen’s ancestral home is from Pingyuan Province. Therefore, the layout of their house is not like other houses built in the village, with the kitchen and living area connected together. Instead, it is somewhat biased towards the layout of the houses in Pingyuan Province.

The yard is built into a rectangle, and the kitchen is on the left hand side of the entrance.

After entering, there are three rectangular rooms on the left, right and right in front. On the left is the house of Chen’s father and mother Chen. Directly in front, that is, the upper room is where Grandpa Chen lives. In the room are the ancestral tablets, the God of Wealth..., which is celebrated every year during the New Year. It is a place for offering sacrifices and entertaining people who leave relatives.

The right side used to be a warehouse and utility room. After Chen Sen and Chen Mu grew up, Father Chen separated the room and made it the brothers' bedroom.

Fortunately, Zhang Zizheng can temporarily stay in Chen Sen's house during his visit.

After cleaning up, I specially burned incense for my grandfather, and then I left home, preparing to set off to pick up someone.

It's just that before picking him up, he bought twenty juicy and sweet watermelons and put them in the trunk.

……

two hours later.

A fat man with a round figure, but who didn't look greasy or annoying at all, dragged a large suitcase out of the station.

"Elbow, this!" Chen Mu shouted.

"Wood!" Zhang Zizheng patted Chen Mu, very happy, looked him up and down, and was very surprised to see the brother who had obviously given two degrees.

"Wu Mu, why are you so dark?"

"What is black, this is clearly a proof of a man!" Chen Mu rolled his eyes and said lightly.

On the way back, Zhang Zizheng looked out the window.

The sand and soil on both sides of the road are long, and once a vehicle passes by quickly, it will bring up bursts of sand and dust.

Blue sky and white clouds in the sky, yaks grazing on the ground with their heads bowed, or herders driving cattle and sheep. Occasionally, Mani piles piled up with stones can be seen at the intersection, and wind horses strung with colorful prayer flags can be seen everywhere on the roadside. flag.

This open view instantly cheered up the mood of the two people in the car.

Passing by a tower made of colorful prayer flags again, Zhang Zizheng asked his doubts.

"Wood, why do these color chips have strips and towers?"

Chen Mu took a look and said: "This is called a five-color prayer flag. The one strung together with multiple pieces of five-color prayer flags is called the Wind Horse Flag, and the one built into a tower is called a prayer flag tower. They are different."

At this time, I happened to pass an intersection where there was a mani pile. Chen Mu pointed to the mani pile and said, "This is a mani pile, built by Tibetans. It is an altar, a god pile, and a tool for guiding. You can't touch it casually."

Zhang Zizheng nodded.

After all, he was going to work here in the future, so he naturally listened very carefully.

But when he saw the twenty large watermelons placed in the trunk, he was still a little strange.

"Wu Mu, why did you buy so many watermelons? The two of us can't finish eating so much!"

Chen Mu turned his head and looked at the silly boy beside him lovingly: "Why can't we finish eating? We can stew pigeon soup, stir-fry vegetables, cold salad, etc. How can you eat enough if you don't buy more?"

Zhang Zizheng's face instantly turned pale.

Seeing him like this, Chen Mu had no intention of restraining himself, and continued to introduce evil-heartedly.

"Elbow, what flavor do you like for grilled watermelon? Do you like pigeon flavor? Or pork ribs flavor? Or chicken flavor? I can't give you the original flavor?"

"If you can't do it again, I'll invite you to eat pouch cake dipped in watermelon sauce? Watermelon steamed bun? Cold watermelon rind? Watermelon cake? Watermelon bun? Watermelon shreds? Watermelon jelly? Stir-fried watermelon rind? Watermelon dessert?"

Chen Mu kept talking in one breath, never leaving the watermelon.

Zhang Zizheng only felt that his head was full of watermelons.

Chen Mu smiled happily, and said boldly and with a sense of landlord friendship: "It doesn't matter, there will be a long time to come, I will definitely let you experience the devil's delicacies all over."

Zhang Zizheng's face instantly turned pale.

After hearing the devil's food, I realized what was going on.

"Wu Mu, didn't I just see you eating watermelon so many ways back then, and I said you ate devil's food? Is it necessary for us to remember it for so long?!"

Chen Mu shook his head: "Wrong, you didn't just say it once, you mentioned it every time I ate watermelon or there were people in the dormitory who ate watermelon."

So when it is time to retaliate, it is natural to retaliate.

……

Because Zhang Zizheng had been on the train for two days, Chen Mu sent him home first and asked him to take a shower and have a good sleep.

Then he specially went to the house of a sheep breeder to buy a lamb, marinated it for a day, and prepared to roast it at night.

Zhang Zizheng's family is in good condition and he has traveled to many places. Chen Mu is going to take him to experience the "tent overnight, whole sheep roasted by campfire" tourism business, and let him make some comments to see where there is room for improvement.

After preparing the ingredients for the evening barbecue, Chen Mu looked at the little camel and fell into deep thought.

"Transportation is not enough..."

At this time, he suddenly remembered that the old man who sold camels had to pick customers, and he didn't know how his camels were selling.

Find out the number and call it: "Old man, how is the sale of your camel?"

The old man's distressed voice came: "Boss, the remaining six camels in my family will not be sold. I plan to raise them myself. If you need them, I will introduce others."

Chen Mu explained his purpose of coming.

"Old man, I don't want to buy, I just want to rent a few. If it is ready, I will rent it for a long time. Do you think it will work?"

He talked about the prospects of his project in detail, focusing on how many camels he might use in the future, and drew a big, round cake for the old man.

In the end, the two reached an agreement, and Chen Mu rented six camels at a price of 80 per day for seven days.

If it can develop, he will naturally continue to renew the lease. If it cannot develop, then there will naturally be nothing to do.

But the old man also added a sentence at the end: "Xiaosheng, you are a good person, otherwise the little camel would not like you so much."

"It's not that I don't worry about you, but I've never heard of renting a camel, just in case..."

Chen Mu understood in seconds: "Old man, camels need someone to take care of them, so you always come to help with them, with a salary of 50 per day."

……

So, when Chen Mu brought Zhang Zizheng to the store, what he saw were six camels, one big, one small, and seven camels lying on the door of the store.

Zhang Zizheng was curious about the special arrangement that Chen Mushen said mysteriously.

Now when I saw the special riding tool - camel, I was instantly aroused interest.

So I stopped asking, and cooperated with Chen Mu to remove the things from the car, hang them on the camel, and happily sit on the back of the camel.
