Outside the window, it was drizzling, and it was rainy in the south, especially now, it was the plum rain season.

Outside Yangzhou City, beside the Dongguan Canal, there is a dilapidated house next to a warehouse.

Due to disrepair, the soil on the wall has been mottled and fallen off, revealing the lower half of the blue bricks and the upper half of the adobe. The roof is covered with a layer of thatch, but it cannot stop the rain from flowing down. In the house, water is dripping in countless places, and you can hear the wonderful ding sound when the rain falls to the ground.

The stove outside was burning. A young man of fifteen or sixteen was swearing back and forth with a fan, filling a handful of firewood from time to time. Because the firewood was a little wet, there was thicker smoke. He slapped a few more times, and finally a flame was freed.

On the stove, a casserole was bubbling, and the whole room emitted a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

Finally, the medicine was boiled. The boy, whose face had been blackened by smoke, wiped his face with his sleeve and poured the Chinese medicine in the casserole into a flower-ceramic star next to him. A corner of the bowl had fallen, which seemed a little vicissitudes.

"Mom, take the medicine." After cooling the medicine, the boy walked into the inner room with a bowl.

The inner room was relatively dark, and on a squeaking bed, a young woman was sitting up struggling.

"Feng'er, put the medicine here and I'll just drink it myself." said the young woman.

"Mom, you are still weak, I'll feed you." Chen Feng held Mom's back with one hand and held a bowl with the other, and placed it next to Mom's mouth. There was still no trace of blood on her lips, but the fever had subsided.

After taking a few sips, a teardrop as big as a bean fell into the bowl in the young woman's eyes. She said, "Feng'er, follow my mother and make you suffer. You were considered a young master, but it's a pity..."

"Mom, I only know that I am your Feng'er. I will follow you wherever you go." Chen Feng said: "The most important thing for you now is to drink the medicine and let your body recover as soon as possible. Only in this way can I feel at ease."

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, a graceful singing voice came from outside.

"Suddenly I heard Dou E locking my eyebrows, and I remembered that the old lady was so sad. I saw that she was angry and had something to say. What is the point that my mother called me to do? I cried and called my mother, and I called my aunt, thinking that Dou E was wronged and spent all her money. How could she have the spare money to offer? I beg you, you, do kindness."

The voice sounded very sad, and it was gentle and uplifting with the unique weakness of Jiangnan women. Then, a crisp laugh came: "Uncle, is Piaopiao singing well?"

"Okay, sing well! I will reward you with a liang of silver!"

"Uncle, one tael of silver is not enough for Piaopiao's rouge and water powder. Uncle, I'll give you some more!"

"Okay, you sing another Qingpingle to the uncle and reward you with two taels of silver."

"Well, Piaopiao will give the uncle a piece immediately."

Without going out to see, Chen Feng knew that this was the rich people on the canal outside the canal. This rainy moment is also the best time for leisure and entertainment. On the canal, sitting on the ornate painting boat, sailing in this romantic slanting breeze and drizzle, looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides and the beauty in front of you is a great joy in life.

Unfortunately, these have nothing to do with me.

Looking at Mu Ma who had finished drinking the medicine and fell asleep again, Chen Feng came to the outer room silently.

Looking at the empty room around, the house was barely covered, Chen Feng shook his head helplessly, "My Honey, why did God tease me like this!"

Chen Feng did not belong to this time or space at all. He traveled through time. Even he himself did not expect that such a thing would happen to him.

Chen Feng was originally a student of the History Department of Nanjing University. During the holidays, he visited the ancient monuments and came to the ancient city of Yangzhou. Unfortunately, he stepped on the air and fell down from the building. As a result, when he woke up from a coma, he had already arrived here. It was also Yangzhou, but it was Yangzhou in the Yuan Dynasty nearly 700 years ago!

It is now the seventh year of Zhizheng. His identity here is a 16-year-old boy of the same name. His father Chen Zuwang has been a salt merchant in Yangzhou for more than 20 years. He is a well-known salt merchant in Yangzhou City. He has two older brothers, Chen Shoudao and Chen Shouye, and a sister named Chen Ruoxi. From this point of view, Chen Feng seems to live in a warm big family and is also a rich second generation.

However, it was not like this at all, otherwise it would not be so miserable. Chen Feng's birth was not the original intention of his father, but the result of his father forcibly possessing a maid after he got drunk. This maid is his mother here, Liu Siniang.

Chen Zuwang was very dissatisfied with this blood source relationship. He drove Liu Siniang to the outer yard and became a cook. He never appeared in front of Liu Siniang since then. Chen Zuwang had no intention of recognizing this son.

Just a few days ago, for some reason, Chen Zuwang drove the mother and son out of the Chen family's mansion and let them live in a dilapidated house next to a warehouse in the Chen family here, which seemed to make them die for themselves.

Liu Siniang fell ill after being anxious and angry. In the past few days, Chen Feng has taken care of his mother carefully and is also thinking about his future.

In fact, coming out of the Chen family mansion made Chen Feng feel even more comfortable. Those big houses were like a bird cage. For the rules of feudal society, such as when you see those masters, young masters, grandmas, etc., Chen Feng could no longer adapt. Moreover, the intrigues made Chen Feng unwilling to deal with it. If he came out, no one would care about it, and it would be better to be free and free.

Next to them is a large salt warehouse of the Chen family, which is close to the canal, which is convenient for the sale of salt. The Chen family has a strong relationship. You can get salt from Lianghuai Salt Transportation Bureau without any effort, and then go to major salt fields to support salt to make huge profits. It is said that the Chen family is related to a certain prince and noble in the capital, but Chen Feng didn't want to care about these.

What Chen Feng is concerned about is how to make money.

Many salt merchants in Yangzhou started from scratch, but the Chen family was originally a salt merchant, and Chen Feng was unwilling to take advantage of the Chen family.

He also has many methods without relying on salt. For example, doing a small business and making a flavored snack that has not appeared in this place. In later generations, the street spicy hot pot earned almost the same as many white-collar workers in the workplace. Moreover, there is no need to pay taxes, just prepare the urban management department.

Just as he was thinking, with a "crunch", the door was opened, and a thin young man in a straw raincoat walked in wearing a few patches of clothes.

"Young Master, I just came back from the warehouse. It was raining so heavily and I still had to load the ship. I don't know where it was. I had to be so urgent." The young man said.

Chen Feng knew that the young man was named Liu Gouer, and he was the child of a servant from the Chen family. He has been in the Chen family since he was a child and was Chen Feng's partner since he was a child. He was one year older than Chen Feng and has always been called Young Master Chen Feng in private.

Young Master? What kind of young master is he? Is there a young master who lives in a broken thatched house? Chen Feng didn't catch a cold at all when he called him this young master. He knew that Liu Gou'er was actually very sincere in saying this. In his heart, he always regarded himself as the young master of the Chen family and his master. When he was young, Chen Feng was bullied outside, and Liu Gou'er often rushed in front and blocked many fists for Chen Feng.

After Chen Feng and Liu Siniang were sent here to see each other after Liu Gouer finished her work every day.

"Brother Gou'er, stop calling me a young master. How come I look like a young master?" Chen Feng said.

Hearing Chen Feng say this, Liu Gou'er said anxiously: "Young Master, now the master is just fascinated. When the master thinks about it one day, he will definitely take you back. You are his biological son!"

Unfortunately, he is an illegitimate child. Chen Feng knew that he had such an embarrassing identity. He was born without being drowned in the water. Now that he has grown up, the Chen family is even more reluctant to determine his identity. With such a large industry, how could the two young masters of the Chen family have made him famous and then divided the family property? The eldest Chen Shoudao has been managing business outside and is still a serious person; the second Chen Shouye has been wasting his name, which is almost the same as being a loser. The second child is ignorant and is proficient in everything.

With the second child in the Chen family, he would not be able to turn himself over. Therefore, Chen Feng did not think about gaining the glory of the Chen family. Now the Yuan Dynasty has a vast territory and a very developed business. Many people make money by business. The most legendary one is probably Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan can, and he can do it himself. After all, he still has many successful experiences in his future generations to replicate. As long as he makes the first pot of gold in his life first and then goes backwards, it will be easy to develop.

Although Chen Feng knew that the troubled times would come soon, it was only the seventh year of Zhizheng, and there were still a few years before the world was completely in chaos. Moreover, he also knew that the true emperor of the future was Zhu Yuanzhang. As long as he stood in the right team, there would be no big problems.

How can I make money? Chen Feng thought for a moment and thought about it.

"Brother Gou'er, how much does the mutton cost per pound outside now?" Chen Feng asked.

Lamb? Liu Gou'er was a little puzzled. The young master's family is very frugal and he is reluctant to eat a drop of meat. Why do you think of buying lamb now?

"It costs about thirty cents." Liu Gou'er said, "I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs run away?" Liu Gou'er had never eaten mutton, but he still knew the price of this mutton.

Thirty-month, now, there are four guan to ingot bills at home, which is two taels of silver. This is after taking out the only bracelet passed down from my mother, I got the five guan to see my mother and treated her. After taking the medicine, I left these. My mother's illness has not yet recovered, and it is probably not enough to get the medicine again.

Thinking about the fact that Mom in the hospital bed, her condition improved a little, but this money is probably not enough to make Mom recover. The money to go to Chen’s house is half a month, and there are still more than ten days left. I might as well take advantage of these days to double the money and earn money for Mom’s treatment!

Thinking of this, Chen Feng finally made up his mind: "Brother Gou'er, accompany me to the blacksmith shop in the west of the city to make a special thing."

"Are you going now?" Liu Gou'er asked.
