They speak very politely to people, and there are quite a few couples who come to Saigon for tourism. The girls are very good at being charming to men, and they have sweet smiles.
The people in the city, who seemed cold and ruthless, suddenly became much nicer after arriving in Saigon.
Or perhaps, most ordinary families in the city are actually good people, he just hasn't met them yet.
In the ancient city, he was always below ordinary people, but later he was far above them, never having the opportunity to interact with ordinary people from respectable families.
He also knew that he was only doing this to make money and would soon return to Saigon, not lingering in the city for long.
He remembered that when he was working on the construction site, the daughter of a restaurant owner was very kind to him and gave him a plate of cucumber salad.
Although she was interested in him, her goodwill was genuine; she neither looked down on nor disrespected him.
The man was so busy that sweat beaded on his forehead. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat and handed the scale to Rooney.
"My jerky..."
Rooney frowned. "You came back and you've ruined my jerky."
"With so many cattle and sheep, you're afraid you won't have enough dried meat."
Rooney thought about it and realized it made sense. "Where's Snow Lotus? Didn't she come back with you? Where's the child? Let me see if the man you gave birth to looks just like you."
"no the same."
His child, Tangyuan, was fair-skinned and tender.
"How could your race be different from yours?"
Shen Shixun picked up a few tobacco leaves from the ground, rolled one up, and took a few puffs. It was bitter and astringent, but that was the right taste.
"It's my seed, and it's her seed too."
"Then you'll have to go back and bring her back."
"She's in her postpartum period and can't be exposed to the wind."
Rooney frowned. "Can't stand the wind? What do you mean it can't stand the wind?"
Women on the grasslands can't stay hidden from the wind; even if they're bundled up tightly, they still need to get some air.
"Your woman is too dramatic."
"roll!"
Just as Shen Shixun was about to strike, Rooney ran to the side, saying, "Gila doesn't mince words, Gila is capable."
"Of course my sister is capable."
Nonsense, can't he do it if he watched his own sister grow up?
Shen Shixun rolled a cigarette and went to the factory to take a look at the equipment.
He knew nothing about this and was counting on Zhang Yandong to help him, but now Zhang Yandong was withdrawing and wasn't in a hurry to repay the funds. However, if he didn't do this job well, he definitely wouldn't get the money back.
He made some money from Uncle Zhou, but compared to running a farm and processing business, he was moving too fast.
He was faced with only one path: success or failure...
He had never brought Xiang Nanzhi to this place before, and Xiang Nanzhi would almost never be able to find it again.
"What are you doing doing all this? Go back to the grasslands. What use are these things?"
Rooney followed suit, saying, "I have a headache. I get a headache just looking at these things. There are enough cattle and sheep on the grasslands to eat. What's the point of doing business here and making so much money?"
"Rooney, outside the grasslands, how much money do you use to measure a person's worth?"
"What nonsense! I don't understand. We don't know where to spend that much money. Enough to eat, wear, and buy cattle and sheep is enough!"
This nomadic people don't have a strong desire for money.
When asked whether they would rather herd cattle on the grasslands or go out to earn money, they would all say they would rather herd cattle...
This is why the Saigon people rarely get involved in those absurd schemes where overseas scammers cheat people out of their money and go abroad to get kidneys.
Shen Shixun wasn't idle; while he was away, he roughly reviewed the information that Rooney and Zhang Yandong's men had recorded.
He doesn't know many characters, but with his experience on construction projects, he would study a little in his spare time. During his time working in the mines, he also encountered many difficult characters, so now reading these materials is no problem at all.
After looking around, Shen Shixun felt there was nothing wrong with things. The project was progressing smoothly. The farm was up and running, and all the equipment had arrived. The only thing missing now was manpower.
Rooney has taken good care of the cattle and sheep and the equipment here. Once he leaves the ancient city, he can start recruiting people.
Saigon is a remote place, but many locals are not wealthy. They would be willing to work for him for a wage in cash.
Thinking this way, Shen Shixun was in a great mood. He put the documents back in their original place and got up to leave.
Rooney is really restless and has a strong sense of crisis. He worries about not having enough to eat if he doesn't have jerky, so he took out a large portion of beef from the freezer to make jerky.
When Shen Shixun went out, he had just finished cutting it up and was marinating it there.
"Leaving?" Rooney stood up, his hands still covered in salt and cow's blood. "Where are you going?"
"Go back and pick up your mother."
"I'll go with you."
"What will happen here if you leave?"
Rooney frowned. "I miss Gila. I want to go back."
"It's yours, what's the rush?"
Shen Shixun glanced at the jerky. "Rooney, ask around nearby where you can buy Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, and mix some in."
"Does it taste good when that stuff is put in there?"
"It's delicious; many people like the spicy flavor of the jerky."
"Isn't the original flavor good?"
Every household in Saigon has cattle and sheep, so there's no need for them, and no one would come here to buy dried meat.
"Listen to me, give it a try. If we don't like it, someone else will."
Rooney glanced at him. "Trying to sell again? I think you're obsessed with money. I'm not selling. I'm keeping it for myself."
“Going to the big city has become strange. Instead of raising cattle and sheep at home, they insist on coming here, which makes it impossible for me to cuddle with Jira while sleeping.”
Shen Shixun pretended not to hear, "Where's the horse?"
"You dumped me here and now you want to ride my horse?"
Shim Sehun whistled, and hearing a horse neigh, he headed in that direction. Rooney grew increasingly resentful, "Hey, Sehun, when...when are you going to finish this?"
“Sehun…”
The man, with agile movements, had already led the horse to Rooney and mounted the horse right in front of him. "I'm busy with my own affairs."
"You...you...you..."
"You just want Jira, don't you? Don't worry, I'll get her for you. I can't be bothered to listen to your complaints."
The man rode his horse far away into the depths of the grassland behind him. Rooney sighed and lowered his head to continue making jerky.
He sold all the dried meat; he was such a spendthrift, he sold it all and they had nothing left to eat.
With the horse, they could roam freely anywhere on the grassland without worrying about whether Xiang Nanzhi would be afraid or frighten her. The man rode very fast and sped away.
——
I discussed it with Gila that night, and we decided to stay at home for the night and take Chen's mother to Latu for medical treatment the next morning.
Shen's mother's condition was indeed very bad. She regarded him as her father and kept calling him "A-Yuan, A-Yuan".
She even looked at him with a hint of shyness.
Jira was a little creeped out. "Mom, she really... seems to have completely lost her mind."
