MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 1 dilapidated house

what happens?

where is here.

Wei Cheng digested the memory of the original owner, and he lay back on the bed helplessly.

A car accident made him travel from modern times to ancient times. It's unreal, but it's the truth.

The Dajing Dynasty, a dynasty that has never been heard of.

From the memory of the original body, he was in the Dajing Dynasty, Jinzhou, and the suburbs of Nanshan County. There is also a reason for the suburbs.

After the national power of the Great Jing State was strong and the soldiers and horses were strong, the Nanshan County City developed a commercial economy, and Jinzhou was the capital of a prosperous state. Nanshan County is adjacent to Jinzhou. Relying on the prosperity of Jinzhou, the commercial economy of Nanshan County is becoming more and more prosperous, and the population and residence are constantly increasing. In order to make the economy of Nanshan County more prosperous, the county has to be expanded and doubled. inner city. The original suburban market shops were included in the outer city. Houses and poor villages originally built on the basis of suburban markets and shops have become suburban areas.

After the original market shops were gone, they were re-established in the newly established suburbs.

Of course, if the government expropriates the original market shops, it must pay compensation.

Back then his uncle lived in the outer city, but now he is from the inner city.

His mother and father opened a small shop in the market shop. After the expropriation, in addition to making up for the small shop in the new suburb of the county, they can also move into the outer city to build a new house and become an official county resident.

The original owner's parents still have a mud-and-tiled house in the suburbs, which was built after the original owner's parents opened a shop in the suburbs. Because it was built far away, there was no expropriation. After the original owner's parents moved to the new house in the county, the suburban house has been devastated by the wind and rain.

The original owner was supposed to live in the county town with his parents, but he has a dull personality and only knows how to work. He planted several acres of land in the countryside at home, and no one in the family helped him.

The work was full of mud, dust and sweat, and the clothes he wore were all rural work clothes, and there was nothing extra. He was disliked by his family, and the county town refused to let him live. He was asked to go back to his hometown to work and live in an old house in the country. He could occasionally return to the county town to live without having to work in the fields.

Later, when his eldest brother got married and had a son, his parents simply told him not to go back to the county town, and his room was given to his nephew Wei Dabao, or used as a guest room for his sister-in-law's relatives when they came to live.

The original owner had no objections, and he would listen to whatever the family said.

It's just that the original owner had already reached the age of marriage, and the family arranged for him to get married. His sister-in-law tried to instigate his elder brother to propose a separation. His elder brother refused at first, because he was his own younger brother after all, but he was finally persuaded because of his son.

After all, the younger brother can't let him live in the country all the time when he gets married, without separation, otherwise he will be gossiped about. If you come back to live in the county and don’t have any spare room, and after the separation, you don’t have to bear the expenses of your younger brother’s marriage and childbirth, and you can have extra money to train your son to study and take the imperial examination.

His parents also considered it and decided to separate the second child.

Or split up without getting married.

The division of families is unfair. The house in the county seat is allocated to the eldest brother, who is filial to his parents. It is reasonable and reasonable to allocate it to the eldest brother. The house in the country has only been renovated, and the parents occasionally return to the country to catch up with the old days, so the house is used as the parents. The family's shop in the suburbs is only 20 to 30 square meters, which is the source of income for the family, so it is distributed to the eldest brother who is the eldest son.

Of the eight acres of land in the countryside, two acres were allocated to the parents, and the remaining six acres were divided equally between the two brothers. The house that the original owner was allocated was the house that was built near the periphery of the market when the parents were doing business in the market. It became a dilapidated house.

Oh, there are still ten taels of silver.

Suburban houses still have a few rooms. The house has a hall, two rooms, a kitchen outside, and a yard. There is less than an acre of vegetable growing land outside the house.

The house was temporarily built when my parents started business in the suburban market, and the materials used were mediocre. After so many years, since my parents moved to live in the county town, no one lived in it, and it was never repaired.

The house was not only old but also dilapidated due to the wind and rain, the yard was overgrown with weeds and the walls of the yard were damaged.

After the original owner was separated, he moved to live in this house, and was busy working in the countryside all day long. The country house was uninhabitable, so he went back and forth between the two sides. He was very tired every day. There was no time to tidy it up, and it was good to live in.

The original owner was not without sadness. He also understood that his parents were eccentric. He knew that he was dull and covered in dust, and his clothes were incompatible with his parents.

Now his parents help him marry a wife, marry a wife and have children, and his life will be settled in the future.

It's just that the original owner's blind date with full expectations was met with disdain from the blind date, parents scolding, sister-in-law's disgusting eyes, he was a disgrace to the family, and he felt even more uncomfortable that no one wanted him.

When he was not yet twenty years old, no one cared about him in the village, his parents never thought of marrying him, and he was too dull to mention it. He also secretly liked a girl in the village, but was hated by the girl he liked, and beat and scolded him. Let him lose confidence and become inferior.

On this blind date, he not only experienced being disgusted, but also provoked the previous situation of being disgusted. The original owner suddenly couldn't think about it and ended his life.

Afterwards, they became Wei Cheng who came through from the soul. Their names were all the same. Perhaps it was for this reason that they were reborn in this body.

Before he was reborn, he was also admitted to university from the countryside, and he was able to endure hardships and stand hard work. After coming out to work, I went through hardships and beatings from the society. The jobs I have done range from being a street vendor to opening a store, from opening a store to opening a company, and the industries involved are all in the basic necessities of life.

Later, I was introduced by someone, and I was in my thirties. Considering a stable career, I made a girlfriend, and then I was betrayed. The girlfriend teamed up with a good brother to cheat him of money, and planned to annex his company. He accidentally found out that he was not killed. After getting into a car accident, Wei Cheng lived his whole life.

Although he died, all the property under his name had been made a will before, part of it was given back to the village, and most of the rest was donated.

At the beginning, he thought about changing his will after getting married, which would save him trouble.

Fortunately, he has never had a relationship with that woman, otherwise he would be disgusted to death. This is due to the fact that he was born in the countryside, the country people are conservative, and he has seen his grandparents love each other all his life. .

Grandparents pass away, mother passes away, father doesn't exist—

After living again, he doesn't dislike the current situation anymore.

Wei Cheng belongs to that kind, when the sky is falling, as long as there is a way for him to go, as long as he is still alive, he will take advantage of the situation and live his life well.

It’s not just an ancient person who became an ancient person. The Dajing Dynasty did not suppress merchants. After the development of the commercial economy from the Dajing Dynasty, the status of merchants has also risen. Doing business is not afraid of being suppressed due to low status.

He graduated from a university, majored in science, and was not suitable for being a scholar. He has been working and doing business for more than ten years, and the most suitable thing is to do business.

This house can be lived in, but the smell of mold, dust and mud inside is very strong. The original owner never cleaned it up, so he packed up a bed that no one has slept in for several years. For people who are used to cleanliness, Wei Cheng can't bear it. , to rearrange and clean can only stay tomorrow.

The family has more than ten taels of silver, which is a lot of wealth for the country people, and few households in the country can save so much money.

A dozen taels is not enough to renovate the house. To renovate the house, you have to make a living and earn money before you can repair it.

Thinking about it, Wei Cheng fell asleep, threw the quilt aside, and changed the quilt tomorrow...

The smell of sweat is so heavy...

I fell asleep thinking about it.

The next day, Wei Cheng woke up early in the morning, came back from fetching water after breakfast, and cleaned the house inside and out. What should be cleaned, what should be thrown away, what should be tidied up, and the grass in the yard should be grown, otherwise there will be leftovers. It's Chinese New Year.

It was inconvenient in ancient times, that is, to go to the well to fetch water. It took a lot of effort for him to fetch water back and forth, but fortunately, this body is capable of working hard.

After a busy day, the neighbors stretched their heads out of curiosity, and Wei Cheng didn't care about his silent work. As for the neighbors, they could look at them as they liked, and discuss them as they liked. Anyway, the yard is separated by the yard, and the vegetable field is separated. There is still a certain distance.

He is satisfied with this, modern people like privacy.

Busy until noon, the house has a new look and is much tidier.

After stopping, I felt very hungry, so I stopped cooking, so I ran to the market to buy. Since the new market moved, his family lived not far from the market, and it was also included in the suburban area, but there is no city wall here. Surrounding it is also convenient for country people to come to the market to buy and sell things.

Houses outside the suburbs are also rising, but homesteads and fields are very expensive. There are many mountains here, and there are no paddy fields. Hundreds of households in the suburbs have reserved land to grow vegetables. The rest think it is useless, and no one buys fields. There is a lot of wasteland.

Weicheng lives in the most marginal place outside the suburbs, facing mountains and wasteland, nothing special, his house is not far from the official road for business travelers.

He has an idea.

Now let's fill up our stomachs first.

The market is neat and the roads are wide enough for horse-drawn carriages. Both sides are lined with one-story shops. This is the main road. At a glance, there are very few two-story shops. There are no hawkers on both sides of the main street. Stalls, small vendors all set up stalls on the street behind, it is very lively there.

The store of his parents' house is behind the store on the main street, on the right, and he will go to the food stall on the left, in the opposite direction, so there is no need to meet him.

On the left side, there are not only food stalls, but also small merchant stalls. Some are placed on the shops, some are placed outside the shops, and some are placed in the corners to sell vegetables. There are all kinds of food stalls, coming and going, and there are many people in the countryside. .

Wei Cheng found a wonton restaurant and sat down.

"Boss, a big bowl of meat-stuffed wontons!"

"Okay, guest officer, wait a moment!"

After a while, the boss brought over a large bowl of wontons. The people sitting next to him all ate small bowls, and some even shared a small bowl between two people. Wei Cheng’s big bowl and two bowls of small wontons attracted the attention of other tables. .

A 40-year-old aunt dressed as a countryman, with her 6-7-year-old grandson, cursed sourly: "The clothes are poorer than mine, and you dare to slap your face and pretend to be fat and eat a big bowl of wontons, bah!" The tone was full of jealousy .

After all, she couldn't afford it, so she shared a bowl of wonton with her grandson, and her grandson took up the whole bowl and refused to eat it for her. She ate less, and the aftertaste hit her mouth, and her saliva splashed out.

Wei Cheng still wore the original clothes, which were pale from washing, and there were traces of mending, and his face still had the decadent look of a hard worker in the country. Even if his body was not stooped, he still looked like a poor man.

A bowl of small wontons is only five cents, and a large bowl is eight cents. It is normal for rural people to work for thirty cents a day. If it is less, it is more than ten cents, or even a penny a day. It must be a hard life.

Wei Cheng's big bowl is just a slap in the face to pretend to be fat.

Wei Cheng only cared about eating his own food, a big bowl of wontons filled his stomach, and he was instantly satisfied.

This is good in ancient times, the food is all natural, no MSG added.

Give the copper coins readily, and then leave!

Dogs look down on people, and they always exist wherever they go.

Why should he bother.

Next, go back to take a nap.

What is missing at home, what needs to be used, and clothes that need to be repurchased.

These are not bought until he wakes up.

However, he seems to be back in the village...
