For the next period of time, Li Xin did very simple things every day. The old man selling charcoal was responsible for burning charcoal. He was responsible for carving, carving animal charcoal in the afternoon and evening, and then delivered it to Deyilou the next morning. At the beginning, only 80% of the things he carved were similar. A few days later, the weight of the animal charcoal he made was different from the original animal charcoal. If he only looked at the appearance, he could no longer tell the difference.

In order to be precise, he slowed down the carving speed and could make about a dozen yuan a day, but the appearance was already enough to be fake and real. Jiu Niang from Deyilou was also very satisfied with this copycat, and she gave it very straightforwardly every time.

After all, those financial owners who came to Deyi Building were almost no poor people, and they were all knowledgeable people. When they saw things that looked like beast charcoal burning in the copper stove, they could smell the faint fragrance in the room. Even if the innocent people didn't say it, they could guess what was burning in the stove. When they gave money, they would naturally be much more generous.

This kind of life lasted for more than ten days. In more than ten days, each copycat was 100 cents, and Li Xin earned more than ten cents of copper coins. He and the charcoal seller had 50 cents of this money, and he had 6 cents of money. He had gone from the penniless poor boy to the glorious food and clothing person of this era.

In a blink of an eye, time came to the 21st of the twelfth lunar month. Li Xin has been in this world for half a month. At noon that day, after Li Xin finished his meal, he carried his bamboo basket as usual and prepared to leave for the city.

At this time, he was no longer the poor man in single clothes, and he was wrapped in two thick cotton coats, blocking all the cold outside.

A charcoal girl who was only as tall as Li Xin's waist, holding a hot water bag in her hand, ran out of the yard in panic, put the water bag full of boiling water in Li Xin's hand, and then smiled sweetly: "Brother, bring this with you and come back soon."

This water bag was bought by Li Xin in the capital a few days ago. It is sewn with unknown beast fur. It can be heated for half a day after it is filled with hot water. It can be kept warm when you carry it in winter.

After half a month of getting along, the little girl is not as afraid of having sex as before. Now when she sees Li Xin, she always calls her brother.

Li Xin nodded with a smile, took the water bag and put it in his arms, then touched the little girl's head, and whispered: "Be good at home, I'll bring you some delicious food from the city later."

Now that Li Xin is well-off, when he comes back from Beijing, he often brings some food to the little girl.

The charcoal seller nodded, waved to Li Xin, and then ran back into the house in a small step.

Li Xin took a deep breath and turned around and walked towards the direction of the capital.

Although he did not plan to be a charcoal seller, he was not familiar with the place here at the moment. Moreover, it is very profitable to make money by making this copycat animal charcoal, so Li Xin planned to do it for a winter first, and after the spring starts, he would save some money himself and think about other things.

At this time, the injuries on his hands and legs had healed, so it took only about an hour to arrive at Deyi Tower. The Deyi Tower in the morning was still not open. After half a month, Li Xin was already an acquaintance here, so he walked in without any obstacles.

The one who met him was Cui Jiuniang, the shopkeeper of Deyilou.

Li Xin was slightly surprised.

Because he came to Deyilou to sell charcoal, only this Jiu Niang met him a few days ago, and Ping'er, the girl next to Jiu Niang, came to contact him. Calculate the time, he had not seen this Jiu Niang for more than ten days.

Li Xin was just stunned for a moment and quickly bowed slightly to Jiu Niang.

"I've met Sister Cui."

Jiu Niang had a smile on her face, but there was a gloomy smell between her eyebrows. She chuckled at Li Xin and said, "Young man is really on time, he comes early every morning."

Li Xin lowered his head and smiled, "Small business is just for the sake of making a living."

Jiu Niang nodded and whispered to Li Xin: "Little Li Langjun, come with me, I have something to tell you about you."

Li Xin put down the basket behind him, followed Jiu Niang, and walked into the backyard of Deyi Building.

He had been in and out of Deyi Building for more than a dozen times. He had been stopping in the front yard for the previous few times. This time, it was the first time he had walked into the back yard of Deyi Building.

Jiuniang stopped in a warm pavilion in the backyard, and Li Xin followed in. The fire in the warm pavilion was red and warm as spring.

It was still a low table, and two people sat opposite each other.

Jiuniang personally poured a cup of tea for Li Xin and sighed softly: "Little Langjun, your business with Deyilou may be terminated in the future."

Li Xin was shocked.

Deyilou's business is his most important source of income at present. If Deyilou's business is broken, it will be difficult for him to find another business to make money in the short term.

Li Xin lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, and said softly: "Sister Cui can let me do this business, but I am not a person who is greedy for small profits. Can I ask the reason?"

Jiuniang poured herself a cup of tea, looked at Li Xin up and down, and smiled and said, "If Xiao Langjun is an ordinary person, just some hot charcoal will be fine if you give it to you, but Xiao Langjun is not an ordinary person, so things will be difficult to deal with."

Speaking of this, the graceful woman smiled and said, "I'm going to hide it from my little brother. Yesterday someone came to Deyilou to say hello to me, and asked me to cut off this business. The people who greeted me were quite famous. Deyilou couldn't afford to offend, so the business could only be cut off."

As soon as Jiu Niang said this, Li Xin understood in his heart.

It was the man from the Marquis' Mansion in Pingnan who greeted Deyilou. No wonder the man who guarded the gate of the North Gate asked his name many times in the past ten days, and it turned out that he had been targeted by the people from the Marquis' Mansion.

It seems that they not only did not allow themselves to enter the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, but they were also not prepared to allow themselves to stay in the capital.

Li Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly at Jiu Niang, "Sister Cui can open such a big store by the Qinhuai River. It is logical that there shouldn't be afraid of anyone in the capital."

In the capital, basically every one of them can open a store in Qinhuai, and basically every one has a backend. The largest Deyi Building must have an amazing boss, so Li Xin asked this question.

Jiu Niang smiled undeniably: "I'm afraid that I'm not afraid. I just need to be kind to others in business. It's better to offend me or not. Xiao Langjun is a smart person and should understand the truth."

Li Xin sighed, got up, bent over and bowed to Jiu Niang and said.

"I understand what Sister Cui means. I really shouldn't be difficult for Sister Cui. I will repay my kindness for the past half month if I have the chance."

Jiu Niang stood up and returned the salute with a smile on her face: "Since the little husband calls me a sister, then the sister will take the initiative to ask, what is the relationship between the little husband and the person who greeted me?"

Li Xin's expression remained unchanged and he lowered his head and said, "It doesn't matter."

He hugged Cui Jiuniang and clapped his fists.

"If you disturb my sister, you may cause trouble for Deyilou. I will say goodbye."

Jiu Niang looked at Li Xin meaningfully, then said, "Little Langjun, Jiao Qianyanyan said, since that person can find Deyi Tower, it means that someone has been staring at you..."

Jiu Niang was halfway through her words, and Li Xin's face suddenly changed.

He didn't have time to care about other etiquette, so he hurriedly hugged Jiu Niang, and didn't even take the bamboo basket, and ran towards the north gate in a panic.

Since Pingnan Marquis’ Mansion has taken action against him, then...
