Xiao Qiang took the steak and began to taste it with an intoxicated look on his face, "It smells so good, so damn good!"
"Brother Liu, why are there so many delicious foods today?"
Brother Liu showed a trace of sadness on his face: "Didn't you hear? The master is back. If it were before, wouldn't I have gone with him to pick him up? Alas... I never thought it would end up like this!"
Xiaoqiang originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard this, his mood became depressed and a huge sadness enveloped his heart.
"Brother Liu, I also want to go pick up the master. Let's stop doing business. It's better to eat swill every day and still entertain yourself here."
Brother Liu's emotions came and went quickly. While Xiaoqiang was talking, he was already rummaging through the slop bucket for food again.
Hearing Xiaoqiang's discouraging words, he slapped Xiaoqiang on the back of the head and said angrily: "What is swill? Look at what this is?"
Xiaoqiang looked closely and saw Brother Liu holding a shrimp in his hand, and his saliva began to secrete wildly.
"Brother! Brother! Shrimp, there are shrimps!"
Brother Liu broke off half a shrimp and threw it to him, saying proudly: "This is not swill, this is seafood sauce!"
Xiao Qiang stuffed the shrimp into his mouth without even peeling the shell, muttering, "Brother, this is a river shrimp."
"Stop talking nonsense! There are also dried shrimps here!"
After eating half a shrimp, the happy time passed in a flash, and Xiaoqiang became depressed again: "Brother Liu, the master is back, and it's not a good idea for us to beg on the street. What if the master looks down on us? I don't want to be looked down upon by the master."
Brother Liu immediately scolded: "Bullshit! This is a legitimate job. What are we doing without food? You came late and didn't know that, not to mention me, even the master..."
At this point, Brother Liu covered his mouth. Generally speaking, no one in the county dared to talk about Fang Zhengyi's dark history.
But seeing that he looked lost, Brother Liu couldn't help but comfort him: "Xiao Qiang, we have nothing to lose now. I owe the county more than 100 taels of silver, and my wife and children ran away with someone."
"But so what? We have to live our lives. Sooner or later, we will be back to the peak of our lives."
Hearing that his wife and child had run away, Xiao Qiang burst into tears and said in a sobbing voice: "Brother Liu! I don't want to beg for food anymore. My childhood sweetheart ran away with someone because she thought I was not ambitious... I like her, I have to get her back!"
Brother Liu was furious: "Bullshit! Do they think you are not ambitious? They think you are poor!"
"Your childhood sweetheart married old man Sun as his concubine. Old man Sun is ambitious? He's already over sixty, half his body is buried in the ground. What's the point of being ambitious?"
"Fuck! That old bastard, I get so angry when I mention him! Damn, he knew in advance that the county would not accept the monkeys, but he still cheated us!"
Xiaoqiang was heartbroken when he heard this: "Impossible, my childhood sweetheart is not like that."
"Haha, don't be stupid. If you hang out with me, you'll be rich in the future and you can find any woman you want. I'll invite you to have fun at Xueyue Tower and you'll live there!" Brother Liu patted his chest and promised, then asked, "How much money did you ask for this month?"
"Thirty-seven taels, please." Xiaoqiang said in a muffled voice.
Brother Liu was a little dissatisfied: "I asked for more than 60 taels, and you only gave me 37 taels. I can tell you didn't ask for it properly! Work harder tomorrow. With our ability to make money, it won't take long for us to get back on our feet."
Xiao Qiang licked his lips: "Brother, it's a lot to ask for now, but it won't last long, right?"
Brother Liu sneered, stepped forward and put his arm around Xiaoqiang's shoulders, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and whispered, "Don't say such discouraging words. I'm no longer the same person after failing twice."
"Now I have a set of business tips in my mind. Maybe I can make a lot of money by publishing a book in the future! Let me ask you, do you know what business is the most profitable?"
Xiao Qiang flipped the swill bucket with one hand and said absentmindedly, "I don't know."
After losing twice, Brother Liu has lost all his prestige. The fact that they can still get together is purely based on emotional connection.
Brother Liu smiled proudly: "Any business can make money if it is done well, but if you want to make a lot of money, you have to..."
"What is it?" Xiaoqiang's curiosity was aroused.
"monopoly!"
"monopoly?"
Brother Liu said mysteriously, "That's right. As long as we can monopolize any business, we will be rich! How can we not make money if it's just the two of us? Think about it."
"There are no beggars in the whole county now. We are the only two begging on the streets. Doesn't that mean we have a monopoly? Otherwise, how can we get a hundred taels of silver a month? If you ask around, you'll find that he can't get even a hundred years!"
"There are many rich people in our county, and there are no beggars. We are also known as "crazy men". We don't spend any money on food and lodging, it's pure profit! We deserve to be rich!"
"Brother, it seems that what you said is right!" Xiaoqiang's eyes were lit up again.
"It's not just right, it's absolutely right. Look what this is?" Brother Liu said as he took out a stack of papers from his arms.
Xiao Qiang was surprised and asked, "Brother Liu, you still spend money to buy paper?"
Brother Liu showed a proud look on his face and whispered, "This is a flyer. It tells a story about an ordinary man who was kind enough to give a beggar a reward. There is also an advertisement printed inside for the restaurant we often go to."
"Let's take this and post it on the street tonight, and you can just sit back and wait to collect the money the next day!"
"We are the only two beggars in the county. How can they give us alms after seeing this? Think about it, think about it carefully!"
Xiao Qiang's eyes sparkled: "Fuck! Brother Liu, you're awesome! But I still think begging is shameful... I'm afraid that after a while people will really think of me as a beggar."
"Just do it! What kind of world is this? People in this county laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes! It's real if you have money and a house. Then everyone will look up to you!"
