Chapter 3 Platform (3)
Even though he had long been hungry and had a great appetite, Huo Chong was still unable to accept the food here. Especially the wine of this era, it was turbid and light, and it was particularly difficult to accept. That's true. Huo Chong still drank the wine until the glass was dry when he was toasting. It showed his generousness.
Thinking about your own affairs in your mind, it is still easy to deal with these people. Compared with the exquisite Q&A in modern shopping malls, the questions Huo Chong faces are straightforward and shallow, which makes people sigh at the simplicity of the people of this era.
The big reason why it was so relaxed was because these guys were already focusing on eating and drinking. Seeing them staring at the bottles, Huo Chong suddenly had an idea that the thing in the cup should be a good deal.
There was not much food, and the banquet finally dispersed. When everyone was sent away, Huo Chong began to pack up his things. The bowls on the table were eaten clean and the wine bottle was empty. At this time, he could be alone again, Huo Chong was cleaning up while planning what to do in the future.
In 1717, the life of the world's family would definitely not be possible. If he had to do this, Huo Chong would only starve to death. Although the apprenticeship was completely forced by the situation, it at least provided him with a stable place to settle down. In the future, he would definitely leave here and make a name for himself, and he would have to prepare at this time.
Since Master Liu is also a p2p platform, with Huo Chong's platform experience, the best way is not to worry about creating an industry, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also thankless. If a place can have a new industry, many people have already done it. The best way is to use the existing industries in the local area to increase profits through operations. If the failure is done, the local responsibility will be borne by the platform, and if it succeeds, the platform will naturally gain most of the additional profits.
Thinking of this, Huo Chong smiled bitterly. When he recalled his days on the platform, the chairman's attention was afraid that he had not focused on project management from the beginning. He was only focused on the principal of the investor. If he was wrong, he was still deceived into the pirate ship because he failed to see through people's hearts from the beginning.
Although Huo Chong was already a formal disciple of his master Liu Shu, no one paid attention to Huo Chong. Huo Chong hurried in his house, conditioning his muscles and bones, and tidying up the supplies he carried with him.
Uncle Liu is really strange to do things. Huo Chong has a lot of things on him. Although even his mobile phone is on the car when he gets off the car, Huo Chong's belongings are only clothes, sneakers, sunglasses, and sports watches on his hand.
Watches are truly sporty. Merchants said that this watch is supported by solar energy for at least ten years. At that time, Huo Chong still felt that the merchants were falsely propaganda. At this time, Huo Chong only hoped that the merchants would talk about at least theoretical parameters. In such an era, a compass that can easily work at any time is of great effect.
No one greeted Huo Chong except for eating. It was not until midnight the next day that the master finally came back. Huo Chong heard the movement and hurriedly got up. When he left the hut, he saw a wooden board in the yard with a person on it. Just looking at the posture, he felt something was wrong.
Before Huo Chong could greet him, the master said, "Huo Chong, prepare incense and candles and set up a mourning hall!"
Huo Chong was shocked and asked tentatively: "Master, who is this?"
"This is your senior brother!" Uncle Liu said this, his body shaking and almost unsteadily stood. The second senior brother next to him hurried forward to support his master, and then shouted to Huo Chong: "You still dare to make your master angry! Are you looking for a fight?"
Huo Chong was not afraid of his second senior brother and continued to ask: "Master, how should this mourning hall be arranged?"
"I don't even understand this, I have to ask!" The second senior brother continued to curse.
Master Uncle Liu pushed the second senior brother away and said angrily: "When is it your turn to make a noise by my side! What are you trying to do?"
The second senior brother didn't expect to be scolded by his master and immediately looked aggrieved.
The master pushed the second senior brother away and shook his body again. The second senior brother was so angry that he didn't move forward. Huo Chong hurried forward a few steps forward to support the master. Then he heard the master Liu Shu ordered: "You took the key with me to get the incense and candle."
Huo Chong was shocked. Are you going to take him to the warehouse?
There was a heavy lock on the door of the warehouse. With the rough friction sound, the lock finally opened. When I pushed open the door, a smell of old aura came to my face. I don’t know how long it took for anyone to enter the warehouse.
There were rows of wooden racks in the warehouse, and under the firelight, they looked all the supplies. They looked like everything was full of rags. The master took Huo Chong in and went to a shelf and took out some moldy straw paper, took a stack, and put it back for most of them.
I opened a box inside, rummaged for a while, and took out a pair of candles from under a pile of wooden sticks that I didn’t know what it was for, and found a pack of incense.
Huo Chong took it one by one, feeling that everything except the candles exuded a decay smell. After taking the things, the teacher immediately left the warehouse and locked the door tightly.
"Master, who was the eldest brother who was harmed?" Huo Chong took the time to ask.
Master Liu, whose face, which had deep wrinkles, showed deep sadness again. He said hatefully: "Your senior brother was harmed by the people from the Gau Gang! We must take revenge!"
Zhangzhuang is a place under Zibo, and it is still a distance from the Grand Canal. The master took back the body of his senior brother after he went out for two days. It is very likely that the senior brother and the Cha Gang had a conflict, and died of injuries after being injured. If the Cha Gang chased the senior brother, it would be even more scary. He ran hundreds of miles just to chase one person, and Master Liu's grudge was a big deal.
The mourning hall decoration is very simple, and the body is parked on the bed that was moved. The body is covered with a linen cloth on its face, and a broken mud pot is placed in front of its head. A lot of wood ash is put in it first. Then two pieces of paper are burned. The paper ash is covered with wood ash, and it looks like it has a lot of weight.
The fragrance is irritating, and it is difficult. Huo Chong could only put the fragrance next to the stove and roast it first after raising the fire.
The smell in the warehouse of Master Liu was really unacceptable to Huo Chong. The flames rose and felt the warmth. Huo Chong recalled the things in the warehouse. He thought about it all the time and felt that something was missing. When the fragrance was roasted a little warm, Huo Chong suddenly realized what was missing. There was no metallic luster in the warehouse.
Uncle Liu is a famous leader of the Tianli tutor in Zhangdian. He also does lend money on weekdays. He cannot lose money, and of course he will not be placed outside. However, he doesn’t even have a piece of metal product, which is really a bit strange. But after thinking about it, he feels that he thinks too much, and the teacher must have other warehouses. This warehouse is just a little bit of miscellaneous.
The fragrance lit up, and the smell in the main hall became a little unpleasant. As dawn, the master sent people to deliver letters everywhere. There were so many people coming to worship, and every person came to worship. Huo Chong, as the family member of the mourner, had to return the gift.
After all, he was a newcomer, and Huo Chong was completely obeyed the orders. If someone came to worship, Huo Chong had to return the ceremony. Without newcomers, Huo Chong wanted to welcome guests and arrange for guests to have dinner. Master Liu looked at him as if he had been a few years old in an instant and basically did not leave the house. Try to teach Huo Chong everything as much as possible.
When you meet an important guest, your master Uncle Liu will come out. Every time you come out, you will introduce Huo Chong to the guest first, and then you will come into the room to talk to the guest.
Master Liu's people were also busy at first, and as time went by, they became more and more tired, and some people were even missing. Now Huo Chong's pressure doubled, but he didn't dare to do these people. Although Huo Chong was not young among these people, any child here followed Master Liu's life longer than Huo Chong.
Finally, I survived the first seventh year and buried my senior brother. Master Uncle Liu suddenly became lively again, and important guests who had met before came in a row. At this time, the mourning hall had returned to its original state. There were too many people coming, so these guests could not sit down, and some of them were directly settled in the yard.
Seeing that the people came almost the same, Uncle Liu walked to the door of the main hall with the help of his second senior brother Zhu Youquan, and said to everyone with a sad face: "My eldest disciple's fate is not good. He got sick on the road and died of illness. I had said before that I was going to pass my position to my eldest disciple. But this happened..."
Speaking of this, Uncle Liu was crying again. He reached out to wipe away the tears, but couldn't speak. The people in the yard waited for a while, but when they saw Uncle Liu still fell into sadness, they all said scenes such as "A person cannot be resurrected from death" and "Don't be too sad."
Uncle Liu heard that everyone was comforting him and cheered up again, "My health is no longer good. The boss is dead. I think I will live a few days without a few days. Someone has to take on these things. I decided to hand over this position to my apprentice and let them do it."
Hearing this, no one dared to speak again. The second senior brother who supported his master Uncle Liu had already straightened his back, and the smile on his face could not be concealed.
Huo Chong was considering how to deal with this second senior brother in the future, or just trying to leave. But the local snake elder brother was dead on the road and was not familiar with the place. Even if he left, where should he go?
"Everyone has seen these disciples. From now on, Huo Chong is my eldest disciple!" After Uncle Liu said that, he covered his mouth and coughed violently. Everyone around him was silent, everyone staring at Uncle Liu. After Uncle Liu looked at Huo Chong again. Huo Chong was completely confused. Nearly a month in the Qing Dynasty, why did he suddenly become the person in charge of the Qing Dynasty's p2p platform?
An ominous feeling arises from behind, and the experience of the 21st century makes such a flying fortune seem extremely dangerous.
Finally, the second senior brother with a pale face broke the silence, "Master, have you made a mistake?"
Uncle Liu gently pushed the second senior brother away, "You are not good at character. If you take my position, you will only harm you."
Second Senior Brother's face began to turn red, and after a moment, it showed the color of a cooked crab. Huo Chong had never seen anyone's face change so quickly, but compared with the speed of change contained in what is happening now, Second Senior Brother's changes are not particularly outrageous.
"Master, what did I do wrong?" The second senior brother continued to ask with a blue face, his lips trembling as he spoke.
Master Uncle Liu replied unhappily: "Why didn't you understand? When did I say you did something wrong?"
The second senior brother stomped his neck and shouted, "Then why not pass the throne to me!" Because he was too excited, he saw droplets spurted out of the second senior brother's mouth in the air, and many droplets sprayed directly onto his master Uncle Liu's face.
Uncle Liu's face was even more unhappy, "Second, you did nothing wrong. It's just that I've seen so many people, you really can't take my place. If you take it, it will only hurt you. I feel sorry for you, but I'm not going to deal with you!"
It can be seen that the second senior brother had no idea what the teacher was saying. He lowered his head in a daze, and after a moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Huo Chong, his eyes filled with angry flames.
Huo Chong felt this surging anger and his body was instinctively alert. While he was alert, he felt a little sympathetic to his second senior brother. No one could stand it because he was publicly announced that he had lost his seemingly accessible power. If he could bear it, he would be able to understand the people who were twisting in it. The second senior brother in front of him had no other emotions except instinctive anger.
Should I express my rejection to my master Uncle Liu? Huo Chong recalled what his master did during this period...
"Ah!" The second senior brother Zhu Youquan roared, stepped forward and fisted at Huo Chong two steps.
Huo Chong no longer had time to think about it, and just blocked the second senior brother's fist.
Seeing that the raid was useless, the second senior brother, who was about the same figure as Huo Chong, retracted his fist and ran towards Huo Chong. Huo Chong had a lot of training during the fight, and easily dodged away from the second senior brother who had no effort to put in. He just pushed it casually, and the second senior brother crashed into the crowd, knocking everyone around and tilting.
As everyone exclaimed, the second senior brother pushed away the people around him, got up and rushed towards Huo Chong. This time Huo Chong did the same thing, relied on the strength of his legs to move his body quickly, and pushed the second senior brother into the crowd on the other side with a casual push.
After several times, the onlookers shouted loudly, but they also retreated one after another, leaving a large open space. The second senior brother calmed down and put on a stance to fight Huo Chong.
Before the two of them could fight, Uncle Liu said coldly: "Second, I tell you that if you win, my position will not be given to you. If you lose, you will not be my apprentice anymore."
The second senior brother shook and turned to look at Uncle Liu. He was trembling all over, and it seemed that he was very angry by these words. After a moment, the second senior brother shouted loudly: "Master, since you are so partial, I will beat him to death for you."
After saying that, the second senior brother turned around and rushed towards Huo Chong with an attitude of looking at death. Huo Chong sighed in his heart, and it seemed that this matter could not end peacefully. If the second senior brother was asked to take over the master Uncle Liu at this time, Huo Chong would definitely not be able to stay. Since that is the case, there is no need to stop.
Seeing the second senior brother opening wide, Huo Chong stepped forward without retreating, and snatched into the second senior brother's arms, and punched the second senior brother hard at the junction of the second senior brother's chest and abdomen. The second senior brother was shocked and continued to rush forward. Huo Chong took a step forward, and the second senior brother rushed forward a few steps and fell to the ground like a wooden stake.
Although I tried hard to continue to stand up, I could never do it. After a few blows, the second senior brother fainted.
