Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 51 Big Yellow Croaker (two in one, please read it)

After chatting with them briefly for a while, Zhu Chuanren returned to the room and heard Chuanwu shouting about his gains in the past year:
"Dad, you didn't see that such a big tiger scared me away. I didn't dare to look back. I thought this tiger skin could be sold for a lot of silver coins, right? So I chased after him, but I didn't dare to look back. I regret it if I catch up with it, I should have shot it to death."

Zhu Chuanren happened to walk into the main room, heard the words and said with a smile:

"If you don't brag, you'll die, and if you hit a tiger, the yellow dog at the entrance of the village will bite you twice if you look at it."

"Hahahahaha~" The guys burst into laughter.

Chuanwu couldn't lose face and said unhappily:
"I'm really not bragging. If you don't believe me, just ask the boss. We were together at the time."

The messenger did not give him face, so he waved his hand quickly:
"Don't pull me in. I didn't see anything. Such a big tiger scared me to death."

"Hahahaha~" Zhu Kaishan laughed the loudest. He saw that he was home, and his body and mind were relaxed to the greatest extent.

Seeing that Zhu Chuanwu was still unconvinced and wanted to choke, Chuanren waved his hand:

"Okay, let's be serious, why haven't you and the boss thought about doing something for more than a year?"

Chuanwu scratched the back of his head:

"Why haven't I thought about it, but my brain is not working well. I feel like I can't do anything except Chuanjie. Shopkeeper Xia praises him as a good business man."

Zhu Kaishan took a puff of his pipe and looked at Chuanjie:
"Fourth brother, is your second brother right?"

"Hey~ It's okay. Shopkeeper Xia really praised me."

"Haha~ Good boy, then do your best and don't let anyone down."

"Hey! Don't worry, Dad, I will study hard and work hard."

At this time, Zhu Chuanren hesitated and said to Zhu Kaishan:

"Dad, let's take out the things and show them to everyone, and let everyone have fun together. But first, we have to agree that after seeing them, they will be swallowed by me. If anyone dares to go out and yell, don't blame me for not taking care of my brothers." face."

Zhu Kaishan raised his hand and waved:

"It's not that serious~"

As he spoke, he found his own baggage, untied it, took out a blue floral cloth bag, and placed it on the Kang table, when he heard a clang.

The sound of metal hitting made the three Chuanwen brothers' eyes widen.

What had their father and the third child been doing this year? They all had a clear idea in their minds. When they heard this voice, how could they still not understand what was inside?
"Dad, here..." Chuanwen pointed at the floral cloth bag tremblingly.

"Haha, open it and take a look." Zhu Kaishan said angrily.

Chuanwu was impatient, and regardless of Sanqi 21, he unbuttoned the buttons while pulling and biting, and then everyone was dumbfounded. The streaks of golden light almost blinded people.

Even Chuanjie, who has seen the world, has never seen such a big gold bar in Shopkeeper Xia, and there are 8 gold bars in total.

The three brothers were all dumbfounded, Chuanwu kept swallowing his saliva, and Chuanwen's eyes almost popped out.

Chuanjie was the first to recover and asked:

"Third brother, how much gold bar is this?"

"We melted it ourselves. The weight is not that accurate. It is about 10 taels."

"Oh my god, 10 taels? That's 80 taels of gold?"

Okay, although the text is a bit stupid, the basic math is pretty good.

Chuan Wu came and said:
"80 gold cars, how many meals of noodles can you eat?"

"Are you stupid? You have so much gold and you just use it to eat noodles? You are a foodie, you have to ask how much land you can buy!" Chuanwen scolded.

Zhu Chuanren listened to the two brothers arguing with a smile, and his mind was full of the scene of the four of them melting gold in Xiong Xiongzi's cave.

If it weren't for melting gold, they would have come back a long time ago, and maybe they could catch up with the New Year.

But it was all worth it. He didn't know how much business eight large yellow croakers could do in this era.

He only knew that he had obtained the first pot of gold, but it was not over yet. He would rely on these eight large yellow croakers to form the first armed force, and then lead them to defeat Lao Jingou!
"Okay, have you seen enough? Chuanren, put it away quickly, we will eat later."

"Don't worry, wait for mother and the others to come over and let them have a look and be happy." Zhu Chuanren is still very filial. Such a happy event must be enjoyed by the whole family.

Not long after, Wei Chunfang and Xian'er were serving the stew while the other was serving the noodles. Xiao Jinni followed behind holding bowls and chopsticks. The three of them came in one after another. Just as they were about to greet each other and start the meal, they saw 8 gold bars lying quietly on the Kang table.

"Master, this~this~" Wei Chunfang hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

"Why, you can't say anything happy anymore?" Zhu Kaishan joked about his wife.

"Oh my god, how much gold is this?" Wei Chunfang put down the noodles excitedly, grabbed the gold bars with both hands and looked at them carefully.

The melting of this gold bar is very rough, and even the entire shape is not straight, but who cares about this, this is gold, real gold!
"Okay, okay, it'll be nice for a while. Let's eat first. After dinner, we will have a meeting as a family to talk about the next development."

...

Half a day later, after breakfast, Lao Zhu's family sat around the Kang with the gold bar in the middle. No one touched it, but everyone's eyes were fixed on the gold bar without blinking, for fear that if they blinked, the gold bar would be destroyed. It seemed like it had disappeared.

Zhu Kaishan smoked a cigarette after dinner, looked at Zhu Chuanren and said:

"San'er, Dad has thought about it seriously. I don't want to go back to Lao Jingou. When you are ready, take Chuanwu with you and let him follow you. Dad can rest assured."

Zhu Chuanwu had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He had been holding it back for a long time. With Zhu Kaishan's approval, he could finally go out unscrupulously.

Zhu Chuanren frowned:

"It's for sure to take the second child with us, but dad, if you don't go, how will we find the gold veins in Wudaogou?"

"I've been thinking about it for the past few days. I'll draw a map for you. If you follow the map, you'll definitely be able to find it."

After speaking, he sighed:

"Dad has been working hard for so many years. He is really tired. He wants to take a good rest. You young people can go ahead and go for it. Dad will guard the rear for you. No matter what, I will give you something to eat when you come back!"

Zhu Chuanren knew that Zhu Kaishan had made up his mind, so he stopped talking nonsense and nodded:
"I understand, where is the little golden nugget? Will you come with me?"

"Brother Chuanren, I won't go. I have no ambitions. I just want to have a good meal in peace."

"Okay, then you can take care of my parents and the boss at home. You can't go."

Zhu Chuanwen shook his head:

"If I don't go, I won't go if you let me go. I will be at home, watching my wife's hot bed. How beautiful it is."

Chuanren was speechless, too lazy to complain about his lack of potential. Just as he was about to speak, Wei Chunfang spoke:

"San'er, mother, I heard what you said, you still want to leave? To the gold field?"

"Yes! Mom, I have planned this path for a long time and must take it." Zhu Chuanren said without any doubt.

"You damn kid, you can't bear to abandon your mother and this family? Our family can't keep you?"

Wei Chunfang was about to cry again while talking, but Zhu Kaishan said again:

"Baby, mother, don't follow suit. Children have their own ideas, and we should support them. And it's San'er's credit for getting so much gold back this time."

Wei Chunfang was not happy:

"You damn old man, what are you talking about? I'm happy that my child has a bright future, but this is a life-and-death business. If there's something wrong with you, how can you explain to your parents if you let me go underground?"

Zhu Kaishan was also afraid that his wife would lose her temper and said with a smile:
"Well, San'er has his own ideas. This kid has a good idea, and we can't control it."

Zhu Chuanren smiled:

"Mom, dad, don't worry. I cherish my life more than anyone else. If I'm really in danger, I'll grab my second child and run away."

Wei Chunfang was amused by Lao San's words and slapped him hard:

"Virtue!" "I have a day off today. Tomorrow I will go to town with Chuanjie. I need help from shopkeeper Xia for some things. In addition, I also need to find someone to find out what the current land price is and how much land we can buy for our family. , No matter what, if you have land, you won’t have to worry about food.”

Zhu Kaishan nodded slightly:
"Okay, just worry about our family's affairs. Dad is old, so it would be nice if he could take care of it for you."

"It's a shame to say this..."

On this day, the Zhu family did nothing. They lay on the kang in the east and in the west, or went to the yard to bask in the sun. The conversation continued until late at night before they regained their composure.

...

Early the next morning, Zhu Chuanren changed into clean clothes and went to Yuanbao Town with Zhu Chuanjie. They went straight to Chunhesheng. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Xia Yuanzhang in rich clothes, sucking on a pipe, shaking his head and humming a play, very comfortable.

"Shopkeeper, look who's here."

Xia Yuanzhang opened his eyes, took a closer look, and laughed loudly:

"Chuanren, you're back. You've been missing me for more than a year."

Zhu Chuanren stepped forward and clasped hands with the opponent, and said excitedly:
"Shop Manager Xia, I often talk about you too."

"Haha~ Sit down, sit down, come here, let's have some tea!"

Xia Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and invited Zhu Chuanren to sit down.

"Shopkeeper, I look at you with a rosy complexion and a high-spirited attitude. It seems that you have made a lot of money this year."

"Hahaha~ TOEFL, I earned more than the previous two years."

"That is indeed a happy event. You, the shopkeeper, have to be the host."

"No problem. I'll pick a good day and invite you and your family over. Let's have a nice get-together."

"Okay, then I'll listen to your good news."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Yuanzhang said with a smile:
"Chuanren, you came to see me just now. There must be something wrong. Can you tell me?"

"I know I can't hide it from Shopkeeper Xia. I really need your help with something~"

After saying that, he glanced at the guys around him a few times, and Xia Yuanzhang understood:

"Everyone, please go out. You don't have to come in without my permission."

"Yes! It belongs to the shopkeeper!"

The guys left in response, and Chuanjie wanted to follow him out, but was stopped by Zhu Chuanren:
"Fourth child, stay and listen together~"

"Okay third brother~"

After confirming that there were no outsiders, Zhu Chuanren lowered his voice and said:

"Shop Manager Xia, I want to get some of this. Do you have any connections?"

He made a sign with his hand, like a pistol. How could Xia Yuanzhang not understand?

I saw that he looked nervous and his face was solemn:

"Chuanren, what do you want to do?"

"I have a big opportunity and I can't live without this. Shopkeeper Xia, if this plan comes to fruition, I guarantee that Chun Hesheng will become famous all over the world from now on!"

Zhu Chuanren began to paint a pie for the other party. He had watched the TV series and knew that although Xia Yuanzhang seemed cautious and cunning enough, he was very ambitious and pursued fame and wealth.
It is impossible for such a person to remain calm after hearing this big deal.

As he expected, Xia Yuanzhang showed a tangled look on his face, his ambition couldn't stop coming out of his eyes, but with the instinctive vigilance of a businessman, he didn't dare to make a decision easily.

"Haha, Shopkeeper Xia, take a step back and say, even if something happens to me, you just introduced me to the seller and will not bear any responsibility, but if this matter happens to me..."

At this point, if Xia Yuanzhang still doesn't understand, then don't be the shopkeeper of Chun Hesheng. He gritted his teeth and said:

"There are indeed opportunities, but you may not dare to buy them."

Zhu Chuanren chuckled and said:
"Even if it belongs to the King of Heaven, I dare to buy it, as long as the price is reasonable!"

"Okay! Give me two days and I'll ask Chuanjie to bring you a message."

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Xia. Also, when I come back this time, I want to buy some land for my family. There must be a water source. I hope Shopkeeper Xia can help me find it!"

Xia Yuanzhang nodded:

"The land is easy to talk about. This matter is not difficult."

"Then I'll leave everything to Shopkeeper Xia~" Zhu Chuanren cupped his fists and handed over his hands, saying his thanks respectfully.

"Chuan Ren, you're welcome. Just wait for my news."

"Come on, then I won't say any polite words. From now on, you will just look at me!"

After declining Xia Yuanzhang's invitation to stay for a drink, Zhu Chuanren left Chun Hesheng alone. The fourth child had to stay to study and could go home at night.

Zhu Chuanren was walking alone on the street of Yuanbao Town, looking at the lively scene as he walked, thinking about the next plan in his mind.

The gun is easy to find, but where can I find it?

Once the person is found, he must undergo disciplinary training. He will not leave his back to a bunch of stragglers. That would be the same as seeking death!

Once everything is ready, the lake will probably freeze. Then...

Zhu Chuanren sneered in his heart, Lao Jingou's Jinzi will be named Zhu from now on, what he said will be of no use to anyone!

...

Two days later, Chuanjie came back at night and pulled Zhu Chuanren into the yard and said:

"Third brother, the shopkeeper has replied. He found what you asked for, but the price is a bit high. He asked you to go to the interview tomorrow."

Zhu Chuanren nodded slightly:
"I understand, where is the land?"

"We also found land. It's in Fangniugou. There happened to be a landowner who was planning to sell the land to enter the customs. The area is not small!"

Zhu Chuanren was very satisfied with Xia Yuanzhang's efficiency:

"Is there a source of water?"

"There is a water source. The shopkeeper said that there is a lake in that land, which is underground water that flows continuously all year round."

Zhu Chuanren's eyes gleamed:
"Great, as long as there is water, this land will be valuable."

"Brother, what are you going to do? Can you tell me?"

Zhu Chuanjie is about to turn 16, and he should be aware of some things. He is still counting on him to be his accountant in the future. He is worried about leaving this matter to others.

"Chuanjie, what do you think of the current situation?"

Chuanjie has gained a lot of knowledge in the past two years following Xia Yuanzhang. He was originally a smart kid. As his experience increased, he could see some things clearly:
"To sum up, it can be summed up in one word - chaos. The common people are living in dire straits, warlords are fighting in various places, and powerful foreign enemies are invading. If this continues, the common people will have no life at all."

Zhu Chuanren nodded:

"In your opinion, what can we do to protect ourselves?"

"Self-defense?"

"Hmm~ Do you still want to be a hero who saves the people from fire and water?" Zhu Chuanren teased.

"No, no, I don't have that big ambition." Zhu Chuanjie was ashamed and shook his head repeatedly.

"So, tell me, how can we protect ourselves from being bullied?"
