Plane Supermarket

Chapter 171

Candles were burning in the single-family wooden house, and the candlelight was flickering. The family was lying on the ground, with sheets randomly spread on their bodies.

At this time, it was not long before dawn, and the old woman tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

"Why don't you sleep?" The husband couldn't fall asleep either, turning over and looking at his wife.

The old woman whispered, "What about our land?"

If you live in a town, you will have to walk a long way to plant the land. What if someone steals the grain when it is time to harvest?

The husband didn't think it was a big deal: "I still live in the old house during the busy days, and I usually go back to the town to sleep."

"Those two boys won't go out when the farming is busy." The husband patted his wife on the back, "There are three men in the family, don't worry."

It seemed to be the same thing, and the old woman finally felt at ease.

The land is their life, and they have no other means of subsistence except farming.

"After the autumn harvest today, I will buy a few more pieces of land next to the town when I earn money." The husband whispered, "When the time comes, I will bring my two boys to plant the previous land, and you will plant it here."

"I heard from them before that the people in the town can train." My husband cheered up. "Maybe they will patrol in the future, which will be safer."

The nobles have their own soldiers and knights, but the soldiers and knights are not used to protect the civilians. On the contrary, they don’t bully the civilians, and it’s good if they don’t ask the civilians for money. In ordinary villages, there are no nobles at all. If you manage it yourself, you will hand it over to the small officials below, and it is even less likely for small officials to send people to protect the farmers.

For farmers, the biggest fear is meeting people who damage their fields and crops.

Bandits are not common, but people who destroy other people's land and crops can be seen everywhere. If they are not good, they hope that others will live worse than themselves.

"Go to sleep." The old woman no longer panicked, she turned her head and looked at the three daughters sleeping beside her.

Slowly, she let out a sigh of relief, although she will have to go back and forth between the town and her own field in the future, it is always safe to live here.

In the town, even if there were only three girls looking after the house, no one would dare to barge in. After all, there were people in the front, back, left, and right sides. As long as you yelled, everyone around you could hear it.

The girls are all asleep, and their bodies are no longer curled up, but slowly unfolded.

This house has two floors, with a total of five rooms. Although it is not possible for the children to live in one room, it is enough.

After all, in their original house, everyone was crowded together and slept on the floor. I had never seen what the bed looked like, but this house also had a kitchen.

The whole family fell into a deep sleep.

The sunlight came in from the window and fell on them, as if covering everyone with a thin layer of veil.

In contrast, the thugs did not sleep much better.

The 38 people who went out were all locked in a room in the castle without windows. Although it was a room, it was more like a dark prison.

As for the two dead people, Ye Zhou asked them to bury them on the spot.

In the dark room, you can't see your fingers, you can only hear voices but you can't see anything.

When they came back, they didn't make any sound. The house where the thugs lived was under surveillance by Chen Shu, so no one noticed that they had come back.

"These people are quite relieved." Chen Shu said speechlessly while having breakfast, "No one went out to see if their boss is back."

"They should be used to it." Sarah drank raw blood and said solemnly, "I'm used to sneaking out from my employer in the middle of the night to have fun for myself. One group today, another group tomorrow."

"If you don't miss, you won't worry."

Cao'er echoed, "The hooligans and bandits don't have any loyalty at all."

Chen Shu pouted: "There are people like this in every plane."

It can't be removed, it can't be killed, and wherever there are people, there must be such people.

Hamm was also eating breakfast, but his expression was extremely sad, it could be regarded as bitterness and hatred, the hard-boiled egg was crushed into slag by him with a fork, and he almost didn't sleep all night, Hamm's eyes were bloodshot, look at who They all seem to be glaring at people.

"Don't look." Ye Zhou sat across from Ham with a bowl in his hand. With Ham's face as a foil, Ye Zhou looked like a well-carved young master. Even if he didn't sleep all night, Ye Zhou was still in a very good state. Well, there is not a trace of blood in his eyes, "Can Mr. Hamm leave today?"

Hamm didn't want to stay here any longer, the price was negotiated, the things were settled, and he didn't know what trouble would happen if he stayed.

"Leave in a while." Hamm felt distressed and happy when he thought of the boxes of gold coins.

How many people have told him arrogantly that money can only buy goods, but not titles.

He wanted them to see if money could buy titles.

One day, he will be so rich that the royal family will look at him, and with the title, he will be able to earn more money.

So much so that the king had to bow his head to him.

Thinking of this, Ham's mood improved again.

"What are you going to do with those people who were arrested? Are you really not afraid that those people I took away will come to trouble you?" Ham felt that Ye Zhou had a big heart.

Ye Zhou smiled: "Since I made such a decision, I have my reasons."

"Have you paid them yet?"

Ham shook his head: "How is it possible? If you give them early, who knows that they won't take the money and leave? These people have no credibility and no morals. They are just like me, they only have money in their eyes."

Hamm is not ashamed of loving money, on the contrary, he is honored for loving money.

Although Ye Zhou is also a businessman, what he likes is doing business. As for making money - as long as he doesn't starve to death, he has never been short of money.

He doesn’t have much desire for material things. For him, short sleeves worth tens of dollars can be worn, and a famous brand worth tens of thousands of dollars is just a piece of clothing. When he was in college, he wore the famous brand that his parents bought for him, and his classmates only thought he was wearing it. It is a high imitation.

A lot of money is of course good, but without it, it is not worth his sadness.

"Just settle the money when you leave." Ye Zhou said, "Just treat it as a favor for me."

Ham almost spit out the tea in his mouth, he looked at Ye Zhou incredulously: "Why? Give me a reason."

Ye Zhou: "It's not for everyone. Give all the money to the person among them who you think is the most ambitious and wants to replace the leader, and ask him to distribute it to others. You can also tell him that next time you will have this money." Seek him first.”

There is no need to explain too clearly, Hamm understood the moment he finished listening, he grinned, and then gave Ye Zhou a thumbs up: "You don't want to lock them up to death, do you? It would be a pity to kill a few strong laborers."

"It's better to sell to a slave trader." Hamm advised Ye Zhou, "They are all human races, young, and when they are strong, they can sell at least twenty silver coins each. If you can hold on longer, say It may not be able to sell for 25."

Ye Zhou looked at Ham: "Mr. Ham has done this kind of business before?"

Hamm didn't think there was anything wrong, but he said honestly: "I only buy, I don't sell, and this kind of business doesn't make a lot of money."

"Weapons are the ones that can make a lot of money." Hamm lowered his voice, "I saw that people here are using crossbows. As long as you are willing to sell that kind of crossbow, we can make a lot of money."

Ye Zhou shook his head, he was leaving soon, not to mention that even if he didn't leave, he wouldn't buy and sell weapons in this kind of place.

Ham sighed, feeling that Ye Zhou was still timid, but he was not in a hurry. He would have plenty of time in the future, and one day he would be able to talk to Ye Zhou. In his eyes, Ye Zhou was a businessman, so he was just like him. Money can pay for everything, even your own soul.

After breakfast, Hamm's servant had already packed up his things and put them on the carriage.

The thugs that Hamm brought didn't have much salute, and they didn't need to be cleaned up to go on the road.

After being called out, the thugs gathered together. They looked left and right, but they couldn't find the boss after searching for a long time.

One of the men with a mole on his forehead yelled, "Where's our boss!"

Only then did the thugs react: "Why hasn't our boss come back yet?"

"When is this? Boss and the others won't oversleep, right?"

"We'll have to wait for them to come back."

The man with the mole on his forehead was walking around in the crowd, and soon he was in front of Ham and Ye Zhou. No matter what, at least he was "elected" at this time.

Ye Zhou glanced at Ham.

Ham understood, and before the man could speak, he waved at him, beckoned him to come to him, and said with a smile, "What's your name?"

The man looked angry when he came over, but he knew it was for his "companion" at a glance. When he walked in front of Ham, his expression changed, becoming obsequious, and his waist was bent. Sitting, but the man bent down and looked up at Hamm: "Mr. Hamm, my name is Morey."

Ham nodded in satisfaction: "It seems like 40 people left the house last night?"

Morey was obviously not going to cover up for them, he immediately said: "Yes, this is not the first time they have done this."

Ye Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth, what loyalty?Loyalty in this world based on interests is not called loyalty.

What's more, how do people talk about loyalty?Only people and countries are human beings. Why do you stand on a high ground and I can only look up to you forever?Do you have one more hand than me?

"I don't have time to stay here and wait for them." Hamm took out a money bag from his pocket and threw it directly to Morey.

Morey immediately reached out to catch it, received the money bag, felt the weight of the money bag, Mo Lei's eyes suddenly widened, filled with surprise and greed that was about to overflow, he quickly said: "This, these are... ..."

Ham smiled: "Since your boss hasn't come back, then you can send the money. As for who is more and who is less, you can make up your own mind. When I need you in the future, I will send someone to come to you directly. You Go get the men."

Morey had almost forgotten about his boss. As soon as Ham's words came out, he immediately forgot about him completely, and directly erased the other party from his mind. He bent down again and said very seriously: "Whatever Whatever you ask me to do, I will do for you."

Hamm said cheerfully, "I believe in you, you can go there, Boss Zhou and I still have something to talk about."

Morey suppressed the joy in his heart, and slowly walked back to the crowd.

Ye Zhou looked at his back, and suddenly said, "Maybe Mr. Ham can find a capable man."

Harm took another sip from his teacup. He didn't keep much of the tea leaves he bought last time. Some of them were sold back, but most of them were given away.

Especially members of the royal family, one heart is darker than the other.

Before noon, Hamm set off with his people. Sure enough, with Morey appeasing the thugs, no one raised any objections when they left, and no one wanted to wait for their boss to come back.

Some people, if they give him a chance, he will desperately seize it.

There will always be people who don't want to be under others.

Ye Zhou led people to watch Hamm and the others leave with their own eyes. It wasn't until the convoy disappeared from Ye Zhou's sight that Ye Zhou finally let out a long breath. He could leave as long as he settled the rest of the town.

"It's actually not bad here." Ye Zhou turned his head and said to Chen Shu who was standing beside him, "At least we don't need to ask someone to build a branch."

The castle can only be transformed into a branch store, and the seats are not bad, it is in the middle of the town, even if the people who come to do business in the future have evil intentions, there will be people everywhere.

Chen Shu: "Boss, have you decided who to hand over the branch?"

Ye Zhou nodded: "Think it over, I will go back to Daliang Dynasty when I have time."

Only Daliangchao didn't have a branch, and Ye Zhou also wanted to go back and see if he could see Chen Liu and the others again, and he didn't know if they would live the life they wanted.

He still remembered the wish of Chen Liu and the others, which is to have a piece of land that can be cultivated, with less rent, and the harvest will allow them to survive. If one day they can marry a wife and have children, it will be something only in dreams. Good day.

Do you know where they went after that? I don't know if the Liang Dynasty has changed.

After Ham left, Ye Zhou began to take care of the aftermath. Byron was too young, even though Ye Zhou liked him very much, he knew that he would not be the manager of a branch, and the situation here was very complicated. In terms of balance, any race that gains power can oppress other races.

This is unavoidable.

Unless there are so many resources in this world that every race can enjoy them, but if that is the case, there will be no poor people.

So Ye Zhou thought for a long time, and found a person in charge from each race.

He actually doesn't know if this method is useful, or how long this method can last, but it is the best way for the moment.

These responsible persons are responsible for supervising their own clansmen, and in terms of business, more than half of the consent is required to implement it.

If you have any doubts, you can also contact Ye Zhou.

As for Byron, Ye Zhou gave him the power to supervise the person in charge.

Byron is an outlier here, probably because of his childhood experience and seeing how the goblin slave traders oppressed his own kind, so his recognition of his kind is actually not high, and he doesn't feel that he is a member of the goblins in the town.

Similarly, he doesn't have a good impression of other races, Ye Zhou thinks he can be more objective.

Sarah is an adult, and according to what Sarah told him before, she followed him before she had a problem with her body and had to go back to the original plane to "find" her own family.

So Ye Zhou chose the person in charge of the branch and started preparing to leave after talking with Byron.

Although there is nothing to prepare.

It's just that he was a little emotional when he walked in the small town.

When I first came here, this small town was just a hell disguised as a paradise on earth, but now, the small town has been completely reborn.

People even started small businesses. Because Ye Zhou didn't stop them, many people who hadn't moved in would pick up vegetables and sell them at a fixed time every day.

Some people started small businesses, and the dwarves even opened a shop to sell pre-made furniture—cheaper than Ye Zhou's shop.

Originally, at the end of summer, he earned enough money to leave, but Ye Zhou dragged it until the end of autumn.

After the farmers have harvested in autumn.

Before leaving, Ye Zhou was still reluctant. He watched the town turn from bad to better, from empty to overcrowded.

Ye Zhou didn't want to leave, and the employees could tell.

But no one tried to persuade Ye Zhou.

Before leaving, Stan and Ham came back twice, and they still mostly bought tea porcelain. Ye Zhou hadn’t sold too much, so he began to limit them, lest they buy too much at one time, and it would take too long to come back to the branch. Send money.

"Let's go." Ye Zhou was sitting on the steps of the supermarket late at night, holding a can of beer in his hand. I cried a lot.

Zou Ming was sitting next to Ye Zhou. He didn't really understand Ye Zhou's mood at this time. In his opinion, this plane was no different from other planes. Ye Zhou didn't feel reluctant to leave other planes. This plane is an exception.

"Why can't you bear it?" Zou Ming didn't understand, so he asked directly.

Ye Zhou looked up at the starry sky, and he suddenly asked, "Do you know why I want to open a supermarket?"

Zou Ming: "You told me that you like the process of accumulation."

Ye Zhou nodded. At this moment, he forgot the estrangement between him and Zou Ming, and put his arm around Zou Ming's shoulders. The two brothers said kindly: "This town is the same. I experience the joy of accumulation."

"When the group of vampires were just dealt with, there was no one in this small town, like a dead city." Ye Zhou said proudly, "But now, it has taken shape, although it's not all due to me, but I guess I can also account for 20.00%."

Ye Zhou turned to look at Zou Ming.

He looked into Zou Ming's dark eyes at a glance.

After drinking, he was not afraid of anything. Although he did not lose his mind, even the slightest thought would be infinitely magnified. He asked, "What do you like about me?"

"Because I saved you? Taught you? That's the fledgling plot, do you know that?"

Ye Zhou: "If someone else saved you and helped you, you would too..."

The veins on Zou Ming's forehead twitched. The first time he interrupted Ye Zhou, he said, "No."

"No one else but you."

Ye Zhou: "How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it? Besides, what era is it? It's not popular to make promises with your body."

"You just see too little, think too little!"

Ye Zhou stood up unsteadily, and said excitedly, "Two men will have no future!"

After speaking, he fell straight down.

Zou Ming grabbed Ye Zhou's arm, and Ye Zhou fell into his arms as soon as he tried hard.

Ye Zhou was dizzy and limp in Zou Ming's arms, consciously still sober and calm, but when he looked up and saw Zou Ming's face, a strange thought suddenly rose from his head.

He murmured, "Your lips look soft."

Zou Ming didn't hear what he was saying, he lowered his head and approached Ye Zhou and asked, "What did you say?"

But the next moment, his eyes widened uncontrollably.

The lips that stabbed him mercilessly in the heart while talking about the feelings of a baby bird just now, just pressed against his lips so lightly.

He could feel Ye Zhou's breathing, feel Ye Zhou's heartbeat, and feel the temperature on Ye Zhou's lips.

Ye Zhou drank too much.

Zou Ming thought calmly.

He should push Ye Zhou away and help Ye Zhou go back to sleep.

But how can he do it?His hands were clenched into fists, and two forces pulled him, as if to tear him apart.

Zou Ming closed his eyes.

His clenched hand finally hugged Ye Zhou's waist.

He pried open Ye Zhou's lips jerky.

Dark clouds covered the moon, and the last ray of light disappeared. Zou Ming allowed himself to sink into the bottomless abyss.
