After Chen Xing finished saying this, Gu Lang, who was sitting across from him, slowly raised his head to look at him, and even Qiu Jiu, who was next to him, stopped tidying up and stared at him suspiciously.
Facing the questioning gazes of the two, Chen Xing felt the pressure. He licked his dry lips, and said the plan he had thought up on the way back, "I want to start a small business, but I don't have it now. capital."
After finishing speaking, Chen Xing himself felt embarrassed, but as long as he thought that he could not borrow money, earn money, or pay back Gu Lang's money because his skin was not thick enough, he could only bite the bullet and continue: "I promise , as soon as I make money, I will pay you back immediately."
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing quietly, and when his face became more and more red, he slowly asked, "How much do you need?"
Chen Xing, who was prepared to be rejected, raised his head abruptly when he heard Gu Lang answer him like this, staring at Gu Lang with bright eyes, and said excitedly: "Half money."
After finishing speaking, Chen Xing thought about what Qiu Jiu said to him this morning, and the excited expression on his face dissipated a lot, showing a little hesitation, and said a little embarrassedly: "It doesn't matter if there are not so many, I can do it again." Figure out a way."
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's eyes that dimmed a lot, and for some reason he felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't wait for Chen Xing to continue, and said directly: "Okay."
Chen Xing was still thinking about what he wanted to buy, a trolley, two wooden barrels, seasonings for cooking, and ingredients, thinking about how to make them to keep the cost to a minimum. Suddenly hearing that Gu Lang agreed, he raised his head to look at Gu Lang, his eyes full of disbelief.
Gu Lang thought he didn't hear clearly, nodded lightly on the table, and repeated, "I can lend you the money." After a pause, he added deliberately, "But you have to pay it back as soon as possible, I will But very poor!"
Chen Xing's eyes lit up again in an instant, and he looked at Gu Lang and nodded desperately, "Well, I will definitely repay it as soon as possible, and I will repay you as soon as I make money, I promise!"
Looking at the smile on Chen Xing's face again, Gu Lang felt that the smiling Chen Xing was much more pleasing to the eye than the dejected Chen Xing.
Chen Xing was excited about borrowing the start-up funds for himself for a while, then saw Qiu Jiu who was packing up the tableware and went out. Thinking of what he was good at, he immediately said to Gu Lang: "If you think it's okay, the meals at this house will be fine in the future." Let me do it!"
Hearing that Chen Xing himself made this request, Gu Lang became more and more satisfied. He nodded towards Chen Xing, which means he agreed to his proposal.
Gu Lang asked Chen Xing to sit here and wait for him, and he went back to get the money.
Looking at the back of Gu Lang leaving slowly, Chen Xing felt that Gu Lang was really a good person! Not only took him in, but also lent him money when he was in trouble. After he made money, he would definitely improve Gu Lang's life.
Just as Chen Xing was thinking about the bright future, Gu Lang had already returned with a dilapidated money bag.
When Gu Lang handed the money bag to Chen Xing, he always felt that Chen Xing looked at him strangely, but he didn't think too much about it, he just thought that he was too happy.
Chen Xing took the money bag, thanked Gu Lang solemnly, did not continue to rest, and went out with the money bag directly.
Chen Xing first went to the place where the carpenters gathered to buy big items such as trolleys and wooden barrels, and then took the rest of the money to buy the dishes to be made tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed by, Chen Xing found that he still underestimated the price of handmade products here. If he wanted to buy a new trolley and two wooden barrels, then he would have no extra money to buy vegetables. But he wants to eat, how can he do without raw materials, so he has to borrow from Gu Lang again
When Chen Xing was standing there in a dilemma, he suddenly saw the entrance of an old carpenter's shop on the corner of the street. There was an old wheelbarrow in the corner.
Chen Xing's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over there. After confirming that the car was still usable except for being a bit dilapidated, he politely asked the old carpenter who was working inside the door, "Old man, what is the door?" Is that old wheelbarrow for sale?"
Hearing Chen Xing's question, the old man who was immersed in making parts raised his head and looked at him. When he saw that the person who made the sound was a handsome brother, the serious expression on his face relaxed a little.
The old carpenter put down the things in his hand and came out. When he saw what Chen Xing was referring to, he frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "If you want to buy this car, I will certainly sell it. But, this The car is old and may not be as convenient to use."
Chen Xing hesitated to hear him say this, but soon made up his mind, looked at the old carpenter and said embarrassedly: "The main reason is that I don't have any extra money, so I can only buy an old one. As long as it is still usable, I will buy it." it."
The old man didn't say anything more when he heard what he said. He removed the sundries, took out the wheelbarrow underneath, pushed it in front of Chen Xing, and said to him: "This thing is meant to be eliminated. If you want to If you want, I'll count you fifty cents."
Chen Xing asked just now, if it is a brand new wheelbarrow, it would cost 300 Wen, but the current one is old but still usable, as long as it only costs 50 Wen, it would be considered a profit for him. He nodded and immediately agreed.
The old carpenter looked at the happy Chen Xing, fell silent for a moment, and asked him to wait after taking his money.
Chen Xing was a little confused, so he watched the old carpenter first go into the house and take out a bunch of tools, and then beat the dilapidated wheelbarrow for a long time, helping him repair some dilapidated places.
After finishing all this, the old carpenter gave the wheelbarrow to Chen Xing and said to him, "Okay, you can push it away now."
Chen Xing pushed it a bit, and felt that the wheelbarrow was easier to push than before, and it was stronger. Knowing that the old carpenter was kind enough to help him, he sincerely thanked him, "Thank you!"
The old carpenter looked at Chen Xing who was smiling brightly, and waved his hand lightly, indicating that he didn't need to thank him.
With his own wheelbarrow, Chen Xing bought two more wooden barrels that could just fit on both sides of the wheelbarrow, and used the extra money to buy an extra wooden basin that could fit on the barrel, and then happily I pushed the cart and left here and went in the direction of the vegetable market.
On the way to the vegetable market, Chen Xing bought the seasonings he needed at the grocery store, and he still felt a little heartbroken after seeing the half-empty wallet. But soon he cheered up again, as long as the things he made were sold, it would be a matter of time before he got back to his original business.
When Chen Xing arrived at the vegetable market, he went straight to the tofu stall he was looking forward to. Since he wanted to buy a large quantity and needed fresh ones, he negotiated the price with the stall owner as soon as he passed, and asked if it was possible to deliver the tofu to his door.
After learning the quantity Chen Xing wanted and negotiating the price, the stall owner readily agreed to Chen Xing's request for delivery. But when Chen Xing mentioned his address, the tofu stall owner's face became weird.
Chen Xing keenly sensed something was wrong with the boss, looked at him and asked a little strangely: "What's wrong, is there any problem?"
The stall owner looked at Chen Xing's puzzled expression, and asked with some fear on his face, "Why do you live in that kind of place?"
Chen Xing only felt that his question was strange, why couldn't he live in that kind of place, so he asked directly while thinking this way.
The stall owner looked at him with a complicated expression, and asked in a strange tone: "Do you know who lived there before?"
Looking at the performance of the stall owner, Chen Xing became more and more suspicious, and asked uncertainly, "Isn't it the Gu family?"
Hearing his answer, the stall owner patted his thigh excitedly, "Yes, it's the Gu family! Since you know that the Gu family lived there before, how dare you live there? Are you from out of town? ?”
Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, wondering if his kind of time travel was considered a foreigner, but he still nodded.
Seeing that he nodded, the stall owner became more and more excited, "Then you must have been fooled by the person who rented the house to you. Back then, dozens of members of the Gu family died overnight. I heard that blood was everywhere. Everyone thinks that place is bad luck, and they always walk around it."
Hearing what he said, an unbelievable expression appeared on Chen Xing's face. Looking at the agitated stall owner, he understood why he was unwilling to go there. It's time.
So, Chen Xing looked at the excited stall owner, and discussed with him: "Boss, don't worry, I'm still fine living in it, and it's not a scary place there. If you are afraid, put this tofu in the Outside the gate, I move in by myself."
Seeing Chen Xing's unmoved expression, the stall owner hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement with his proposal.
Chen Xing made an appointment with him to deliver the tofu, paid him the fixed amount, and then pushed his cart back, thinking of what the stall owner said just now from time to time along the way.
Because Chen Xing was very fast, when he returned to the mansion, there was still some time before dinner, so he was not in a hurry to make dinner, but pushed the wheelbarrow and the things on it to the yard where the kitchen was, and put the seasonings After entering the kitchen and putting it away, I started to boil water and prepare to scald and wash all the newly bought utensils.
This busy job has been busy for a long time. After he finished boiling the hot water, he saw Qiu Jiu, who came over at some time, wandering into the yard. At this time, he was looking around at his newly bought things with a strange look on his face. look like.
Chen Xing looked at his curious appearance, and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
Qiu Jiu raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes sparkled with curiosity, pointing to the pile of strange things and asked: "What are you going to do with these things?"
Chen Xing looked at his curious eyes, hooked the corners of his lips, and said heartily: "Wait until tomorrow, tomorrow you will see the new food I made, I guarantee you will like it too."
