Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

Grandpa Zhang drove an ox cart to send Zhang Shu and the others to the county seat, and stopped by the town when they passed the fork. They found Father Zhou who was about to go out in the medical hall.

Zhou Nan stepped forward and expressed his thoughts. This trip will last for more than 20 to [-] days. He will be responsible for pressing the goods and get paid, and he can also go to Zhangzhou Port once.

It is said that his father was from Zhangzhou Port back then, and later drifted here for unknown reasons and married his father.The couple were harmonious and beautiful, but Dad was killed by a serious illness.Before he died, he missed his relatives in Zhangzhou Port very much, and hoped to hear about them one day.

The Zhou family's family was not well-off, and after a funeral, they couldn't even eat enough. How could they have the money to go to Zhangzhou Port to find relatives?

Li Yan proposed this idea to him yesterday, and Zhou Nan had this idea in his heart. He could not stay for a long time when he went, but he could stay alone in Zhangzhou Port for a few days on the way home.

Father Zhou felt a little ashamed. He couldn't fulfill his late husband's wish, so he could only pass the responsibility on to his children.This child lives with him, endures hardships, never complains, and is very filial. Now he rarely has something he wants to do. Can a father stop him?

Knowing that his father agreed, Zhou Nan was very happy.Father Zhou looked at the three men in the car, then pulled Zhou Nan aside, "Ah Nan, going out with three men will give you a bad reputation, you must be very careful when you sleep at night, lock the door Well, if someone wants to bully you, you must protect yourself first."

"Father, where are you thinking? They are all decent people, how could they do such a thing, and I have Xiaohu, I will sleep with Xiaohu at night, you should be at ease?" Zhou Nan couldn't laugh or cry, he Father thinks he is some kind of beautiful country, doesn't it?Where would anyone have an idea for him?

"Okay, okay, you must take Xiaohu with you at night!" Father Zhou emphasized repeatedly, and then patted Zhou Nan, "Go there, don't delay any longer."

He took out the money from selling herbal medicine and stuffed it into Zhou Nan's arms, "It's said that the poor are rich, so you take the money and buy whatever you want."

Holding these heavy copper coins, Zhou Nan seemed to be choked in his throat, "Father, you can take it back, food and lodging are included on the way, I don't need this." Zhou Nan put the money into his father's back basket After throwing it away, he ran into the bullock cart and told Grandpa Zhang that he could go.

Xiaohu ran obediently beside Zhou Nan all the way. Halfway through, Zhou Nan carried Xiaohu into the ox cart. Xiaohu stiffened on the swaying ox cart for a while, but finally calmed down under Zhou Nan's touch.

After sending them to the river, Grandpa Zhang told everyone a few words, and then drove the ox cart back again.Before leaving, Zhang Shu scavenged a lot of food from roadside stalls for Grandpa Zhang to take home for the family to eat.

After watching Grandpa Zhang leave, Zhang Shu led everyone on the boat. He arranged Zhou Nan's room between himself and Li Yan, and Yu Xiaoliu's room on his left.The guards on the ship were unfamiliar after all, and Zhou Nan was a brother after all, if something happened, it would be too late to regret it.

Following Yan's shopkeeper's order, the merchant ship gradually moved away from the shore.

This time they went out to sea with more than a dozen merchant ships, which was much safer than last time.

The three people who followed Zhang Shu this time were more competitive, and none of them got seasick.Among the group of guards led by shopkeeper Yan, two of them had already vomited badly.

There were also doctors who accompanied them. After seeing it, they only asked them to take herbal medicine, but they spit out the medicine juice completely.

Seeing that they are getting weaker and weaker, shopkeeper Yan's blisters are about to grow, and these two people are related to him, so what if something happens?Even if it doesn't matter, no one can watch them lose weight like this.

Zhang Shu thinks that as long as they can eat, there is no problem, but the problem is that they vomit whatever they eat, and there is simply no food in their stomachs.

Zhou Nan turned around and went to the kitchen, took out a small jar from inside, handed it to Li Yan, and asked him to take it to Zhang Shu.

When Li Yan lifted the lid and smelled it, a pungent smell rushed into his nose, choking him so much that he sneezed, but after the sneeze, he felt refreshed.

Li Yan probed and saw a piece of red, yellow and yellow inside. He knew that the red one was pepper, and the yellow one was cut into shreds, but he didn't know what it was.

"It's chili mixed with shredded ginger. It's appetizing and can also ventilate. In fact, I was a little uncomfortable when I first boarded the boat. Fortunately, I saw them in the kitchen, so I asked my aunt who was cooking to cut up and marinate."

"Why didn't you tell me that you were not feeling well?" Li Yan was a little unhappy. He brought the man on board but didn't take good care of him.

Zhou Nan laughed, "There's nothing to say about it. It just so happens that I know a folk remedy. Unfortunately, I didn't know about it two days ago, or I would have brought it up long ago."

The room of the guards was on the other side of theirs, and there were men all over the other side, and Zhou Nan usually didn't go there.In addition, Zhang Shu and the others usually don't talk about people's seasickness by looking for trouble, so Zhou Nan only knew about it when he passed by Zhang Shu's door today and heard shopkeeper Yan say it.

Li Yan went to look for Zhang Shu with the jar in his arms, just before the shopkeeper Yan left, Li Yan handed him the jar directly, and then asked him to take it back for the two unlucky guys to try.

Shopkeeper Yan was choked when he opened the lid, but when he heard that it was useful, he hurriedly carried the jar back, and then sent someone to the kitchen to bring two bowls of porridge.

The two young men were lying in the same room with sallow complexions. It was their first time to take a boat, so they didn't know that they would get seasick.

It was better if the river was calm and the waves were calm, but as soon as I crossed Zhangzhou Port and entered the sea, I vomited every day, even when I vomited bile.

Seeing shopkeeper Yan, one of the young men struggled to get up, "Old man, you must tell my mother when you go back, I will be her son in the next life."

Shopkeeper Yan patted him on the head, "If you talk nonsense, you will die somewhere? Get up, I brought you life-saving things."

He took a small bowl and squeezed the shredded ginger out, then handed two bowls of porridge to the two people, "Take some shredded ginger first and press it to see if you still vomit."

The two of them were dubious, so they managed to put a little bit into their mouths with their chopsticks, only to be stimulated by a spicy taste.

After chewing it a few times and swallowing it, they were surprised to find that the original nausea was much better, at least nothing was spit out as soon as it was put into the mouth.

They ate two bowls of white porridge with the hot and spicy shredded ginger, and their stomachs felt warm, and the uncomfortable feeling of dying disappeared a lot.

"You guys sleep for now, and continue to eat this at night." Shopkeeper Yan was very pleased, and often said that small folk remedies can cure serious illnesses. Although seasickness is not a serious illness, it is very tormenting. Zhang Shu is really capable of being around people!

That Li Yan, it is said to be his brother-in-law, usually practiced with Wang Hu without losing the wind, and his arrow skills are also very accurate.It is said that Zhou Nan knows a little about medicine and can be a doctor.

In fact, the most popular one is the little tiger. When there is a little trouble at night, it is more vigilant than anyone else. The last time the ship docked in Zhangzhou port, some thieves wanted to dig the ship at night, and they were discovered as soon as they approached. The big guys turned him over to Zhangzhou. Only after visiting the garrison in Hong Kong did he realize that this man was just a craftsman who repaired ships. He was good at mackerel and wanted to attract business for his family, so he sneaked into the bottom of the water to do so.

For a while, the ships of all sizes in Nanhai County checked themselves one after another, and they really found traces of damage, so they all stopped for repairs.

Zhang Shu and his fleet survived the disaster because of the astute little tiger, and they went to sea on time the next day.The shipwreck that shocked the entire Fan Kingdom in the previous life disappeared because of this dog.Even Zhang Shu himself didn't think about it, so everyone didn't know that the more than 2000 innocent souls who sank to the bottom of the sea in the previous life died in vain because of an ignorant craftsman.

……

The fleet sailed relatively slowly, but they still arrived at Nanhai County before the tenth day of May.Zhang Shu asked the others to stay on the boat, then got off the boat alone, and went to find Huang Tianhang and others in the herringbone room of Yingbin Building.

Zhang Shu was afraid that they would not arrive, but as soon as he entered, he found Huang Tianhang and others sitting downstairs drinking.

"Brother Huang, I wonder if you are waiting for me, my little brother?" Zhang Shu walked over and cupped his fists.

Huang Tianhang took a closer look and recognized him as Zhang Shu who did business with them a few months ago. He laughed and said, "Brother Zhang really kept his promise, sit down quickly." He pressed Zhang Shu down, and then called the second brother to add tableware.

Zhang Shu was not polite, so he ate with them.After the meal, a few people came to Huang Tianhang's room, and Zhang Shu said, "Now the goods you want are at the pier. I wonder if you are going to take them back by boat or by horse-drawn carriage?"

"It's fine to use a carriage to pull it back. Our brother counted the time and specially picked up the escort from Nanhai County. There are three or four carriages here at the moment. Don't worry."

"Several big brothers, I don't know if the dried vermicelli from a few months ago is intact. If it can't be kept for so many days, the younger brother is willing to return double the deposit according to the contract."

At the beginning, they paid a deposit of about 20% of all the goods for a thousand catties of dry vermicelli, and Zhang Shu received a total of ten taels of silver.If it is doubled this time, he will give them [-] taels.

Zhang Shu took the initiative to propose this, precisely because he trusts his own goods very much.Little did they know that Huang Tianhang and the others were a little embarrassed, just because of the dry vermicelli left by Zhang Shu that day, they ate it up the next day because they hadn't tasted it.

Huang Tianhang laughed and said, "Of course the things are good. After we go to the government to pay the contract tomorrow, we can pull the carriage to load the goods. I just don't know, how many catties of dried vermicelli did Brother Zhang Shu bring?"

Huang Tianhang guessed that he must have transported more than a thousand catties, otherwise he would only earn the three or forty taels in 20 days, which is a bit small.

Zhang Shu's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "In addition to the one thousand catties that I want to give to Brother Huang, there are many more in the cabin. Now there is almost a way, and there must be a response in a few days."

The purpose of saying this is naturally to show that this dry vermicelli is not easy to buy, and if they want it, they have to buy it as soon as possible.

Huang Tianhang and the others glanced at each other, then changed the topic and talked about other things.Zhang Shu was not in a hurry, he had a premonition that Huang Tianhang and the others would definitely ask to buy some more after seeing the goods.
