Eating big melon is so refreshing

Chapter 97 Farewell at the Pier

On February 16, Zhao Ming finished a month of official studies and returned home with his son Jingger on a large black boat.

A row of large brick houses were newly added to the dock as warehouses. An area specially flattened and paved with red bricks and guardrails was named the Farewell Platform. The originally deserted dock became bustling with people coming and going in just one month.

Zhao Erlang signed a contract for the operation rights of the wharf for five years, and the monthly fee was only ten taels of silver. After Xiao Qiulin's operation, it was obvious that he earned at least thirty taels of silver every month.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just at the farewell platform, everyone has to pay two cents as long as they enter this area. The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who are usually stingy, will be very generous in paying when it’s time to say goodbye!

As long as you buy a ticket for the farewell show, there will be strong men to help you carry your luggage onto the boat and safely take those who want to board the boat.

The entrance and exit are separated into two places. The tools used by the strongmen who transport the goods include head-wheel bucket trucks, scooters, and shoulder pole baskets. They transport the goods according to the customer's requirements and ensure that the goods arrive at the designated place intact.

There are also dock patrolmen, cleaners, and a service area. In the service area, not only is there free water for washing your face and free use of the toilet, but they also sell seasickness medicines, toys to pass the time, fruits and cakes, and most importantly, fast food.

A fast food meal costs eight cents and includes a bowl of rice, a meat dish, a vegetarian dish, and a bowl of soup. The product is of good quality and low price, and the business is booming.

One dock supported hundreds of people. This achievement made people remember the name Zhao Erlang. No one would have thought that the master behind the scenes was the six-year-old Xiao Qiulin. People who knew the truth were very afraid.

It only takes two days and one night to get from Qinghe County back to Huangyang County. Although the speed is twice as slow as taking a car, it is safe and guaranteed. Nowadays, wild beasts frequently appear on the road, and the escort agency has to double the number of escorts each time, resulting in the number of trips per month being reduced by half.

Shipping has thus flourished. As long as people are not in a hurry, they will choose to take a ship. The number of ships carrying cargo has also doubled compared to before, so the business at the docks is booming.

Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin followed Zhao Erlang to see Zhao Ming and his son off. There was no mention of Jing'er and Wu Lizhi's marriage. Wu Biao divorced Hong and sent the Hong family to jail. Hong attempted suicide several times in jail. The brainwashed eldest daughter of the Wu family returned to her parents' home every few days to accuse her father of being unkind and unjust, which made Wu Biao very anxious.

The reason why Zhao Erlang came to Qinghe County so actively was to join Wu Biao's Flying Tigers. Now his children are in school and the family's dessert shop is also open. What is the result?

It was still unknown when the Flying Tigers would be able to go up the mountain to hunt again, but the business at the dock was booming. Zhao Erlang felt that he could get a stable income of thirty taels of silver every month, so it didn't matter whether the Flying Tigers were included or not.

Young Master Mingyue's guards Eighteen and Nineteen would go out hunting two or three times almost every month. If the location was nearby, Zhao Erlang would go along with them to improve his hunting experience, and they would always gain something.

The Wu Peng ship set sail, and Zhao Ming, who was standing on the deck, returned to the cabin. In this month, he not only learned a lot of knowledge, but also was full of confidence in this college entrance examination.

A group of people whose strength does not meet the requirements will be eliminated, and another group will be eliminated because they cannot solve math problems. With the Buddha's blessing, his math is a constant and his strength just meets the requirements.

Xiao Qiuer gave him a lot of test questions, and from the initial confusion to the current increased confidence. According to Xiao Chuner, these test questions were all in hell mode, and as long as they were solved, it would be a very easy matter to pass the exam.

Zhao Ming touched his son's chubby little face. His eldest son, who could never gain weight, had been hanging out with Xiao Chunya for half a month and his weight was rising rapidly. The little fat boy was just eating too much!

Jing'er sat quietly in the cabin reading a manuscript, which was specially given to him by Xiao Qiulin. It not only recorded many prescriptions but also the techniques of making medicine.

Zhao Ming's tone was gentle but heavy as a thousand pounds. "Brother Jing, this manuscript cannot be known to anyone except you for the time being. It can only be passed on to your eldest son in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Father, I understand." Jinger promised, "I will follow your wishes and pass on this manuscript."

"You still can't give up your studies. Dad hopes that after you pass the exam, you can develop into a pharmacist. It will be more effective."

Zhao Ming saw it clearly. Now the number of high-ranking wild beasts in the mountains has increased dramatically. The pharmacist profession is unmatched by even the juren, let alone the scholar. It can ensure his family's prosperity and wealth for a hundred years.

His father was right. You should be sincere to Zhao Erlang. He is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. As long as you give sincerely, you will reap rewards.

He sighed softly in his heart. His fourth uncle and aunt habitually favored Zhao Dalang, which made the other sons' passionate hearts cold. The current Zhao Dalang was no longer the Zhao Dalang of the past. Even Erniu, who was still very young, was scheming.

Which of the great grandfathers, second grandfathers, and third grandfathers in the family doesn't have a pair of sharp eyes? Erniu's little tricks are not worthy of being on the table, but they just make people dislike him even more.

Zhao Ming decided that in a few years, when his eldest son turned twelve, he would send him to Qinghe County to live with his uncle and aunt. If he chose to be a pharmacist, it would be safer for him to stay with Xiao Chun'er.

Not to mention Xiao Qiu'er's special abilities, just look at the abilities of the young master next door. Xiao Chun'er will only become more powerful in the future!

suddenly

Xiao Chunya's inner voice came, "Parting has a parting atmosphere, I think it should be expressed in a song."

No, you must not sing! Zhao Ming and his son looked terrified, and seeing that the distance to the pier was less than 100 meters, they were in despair.

Wow the big river flows eastward

The stars in the sky are like the Big Dipper

(Hehe, San Beidou wow)

(A bowl of wine for a life-and-death friendship)

If you say go, let's go wow

You have me, I have everything, wow

The voice was high-pitched and powerful (like the roar of a pig being slaughtered, or the howling of a ghost), heart-wrenching, roaring and screaming! Its power was so great that all the people who heard Xiao Chunya's voice within a five-mile radius fell to the ground. They covered their heads in pain, crawled on the ground with hideous faces, but could not stand up. Xiao Pangya's ability to poison other people's ears was skyrocketing, it was so scary! "Help!"

Xiao Qiulin endured the severe pain in his head, quickly took out a big fragrant chicken leg from his arms, and stuffed it into his sister's mouth without hesitation. In a flash, a miracle happened - his sister's singing stopped abruptly!

Xiao Qiulin secretly rejoiced in his heart: Fortunately, I was smart and acted quickly! He couldn't help but think that if his sister was allowed to finish singing this song, he didn't know how many people would be tortured to the point of foaming at the mouth, or even fainting on the spot!
