Ten days later, Ganjiabao in Sewai.

Ganjia Fort is located in the central part of the Ningxia Plain, located on the west edge of Etok Banner (now Ordos) in the east, and is surrounded by Helan Mountain in the west. The Yellow River passes through ten miles away, which is the central node of the adjacent areas of Ning, Mongolia, Shaanxi and Gansu.

In addition, it is located in the irrigation area of ​​the Yellow River Plain in Ningxia. Because the Qin, Han and other canals have been built since ancient times, the Yellow River water has been used to irrigate. In addition, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Powders and Silkworms have been planted, the planting of poplars and willows, and the plums and peaches have been cultivated, which has made agriculture and animal husbandry developed. There are many lakes, wetlands, and the scenery is beautiful, which is better than that of the south of the Yangtze River.

Ganjiabao is located in the heart of Jiangnan, Shuhang. Although there are officials sent by superiors to manage this place, and there is even a small village group, it is basically just decorations.

At least in this area, there is only one force.

That is Ganjiabao.

It is precisely because of such a superior geographical environment and the accumulation of ancestors from all generations that Ganjiabao once dominated the overlords of the Northwest, but to this day, it is still one of the "five families" in the Northwest.

The core strength of Ganjiabao is located on a small hillside, with thick soil of up to two meters high and high brick and stone walls, making the entire castle easy to defend and difficult to attack. After years of peace, a huge market town was formed next to the edge of Ganjiabao.

The scale of this market town is much larger than that of Yange Town. Various large-scale businesses are underway here, and there are snacks, snacks, music and arts gathered here, which is not in vain. The reputation of "The Battle of Jiangnan" is not in vain.

The little carpenter walked into Ganjiabao Market Town when the sun was noon. Seeing the dense crowds of people in the market and various business shops, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

If there were no accidents, he would probably have grown in such a place.

Moreover, he is very likely to have a childhood that is free of food and clothing.

And... parents.

Of course, he actually didn't have much memory of his deceased parents.

Without memory and emotion, there will be no obsession. The only thing that supports him here is the twin girl in the mouth, the little girl in red who often appears in his right eye - what is going on with her? This is what the little carpenter cares about.

After entering the market town, he did not foolishly walk directly to the tall fort in the distance, but walked around the huge market town, and then found a snack stall and ordered some food.

After going through many hardships along the way, facing the cruel natural environment, the little carpenter who was not familiar with almost died several times.

If it weren't for the supplies in Lu Ban's secret seal and his knowledge of temporary replenishment, he might not have lived now.

The snack stall was very simple, only providing some mutton soup and coarse cakes. The little carpenter didn't care and drank it happily. After all, he hadn't eaten hot food for several days. He felt that after the sticky soup with a charming fragrance, he was warm and comfortable.

On the way to this place, the little carpenter had already figured out what to do next. After breakfast, he asked the stall owner about the hotel (inn) nearby that could be settled in Tajianer, and then searched for it.

He looked at several stores in a row, otherwise the room fee would be too expensive and would not be suitable for his current image, or it would be a Datong shop with many people and eyes.

Finally, he chose an inn for tourists to stay in. He occupied a room in a large yard. There was a well in the yard, and it was very convenient to wash and rinse. The room was neither old nor new, and the price was very suitable.

After settling down, the little carpenter didn't care about the cold weather and took a shower in the yard. Although the well water was a little higher than the outside, it was still cold and trembling. After washing, due to the extreme cold, the little carpenter was hot all over and even breathed out, trembling with coldness.

But after washing away all the dust, he still felt very good.

After sorting out some more, he then carried the load and went out.

In this burden, there are some things he carved on the road, some are wooden figures, some are reduced furniture, and some are messy things. These are the little carpenter's identity in Ganjiabao these days - a southern carpenter who helped make furniture.

There are two reasons why he tried so much effort - first, the little carpenter did not want to disturb the people in Ganjiabao, making him feel like a poor relative came to him, and second, he was also used to such an identity.

After all, he had visited Fangxianghu and other places before, and he was like this. He was able to hide his identity, but also earn a little money to support himself.

The little carpenter went out and came to the busiest Qianmen Street. After walking for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable open space to set up a stall. He went to the edge of the vegetable market before he fell down.

He set up the stall, then made another stool, and after sitting down, he set up a sign.

The wooden signboard says "Professional custom portraits, micro-carvings and new furniture".

The signboard is not conspicuous, but the wood carvings and reduced furniture he placed on the stall are really good. After all, it is a first-class craft. There are also some novel things that come from the "Luban Machine Secret Techniques", such as puppet wooden men, Luban locks, Luban knots and wooden magpies, which are all rare.

So in a short while, there were a lot of people surrounding the stall.

However, the price of small carpenters is generally expensive, so there are many people asking, but few people buying.

Even so, someone bought a few, so he could open a ticket.

Some people saw the little carpenter's small furniture and were very enthusiastic. They asked him about the situation. Some people even asked if the little carpenter would build the "sofa" from the West. It happened that the little carpenter had seen this thing in Wuchang and understood the relevant structure, so they naturally knew it.

However, in this northwest, many accessories, such as springs, fillers, etc., are not neat, so even if you want to do it, you need time and effort and a lot of cooperation.

However, although he can't do it now, this principle is well-informed. When others see it, they know that this young man is a real skill.

At night, the little carpenter actually received three orders for business and paid a symbolic deposit.

With this business, the little carpenter has made a solid decision.

For three consecutive days, the little carpenter came to the door to help customers make furniture during the day, and at night they made small things to set up stalls in the street market. Although the business was not prosperous, it was also a pleasure to make a living by craftsmanship.

Because the woodworking skills are really good and the styles are relatively new, the little carpenter has a good reputation. On the third night, two more orders came, and the batches were quite large.

After the little carpenter took it, he was ready to do it. At this time, two men in hardcover carrying whips walked towards him.

The little carpenter set up a stall on the street for three days, so he naturally saw them and knew they were tax collectors in the market town.

Of course, they are not tax collectors from the government, but from Ganjiabao. Because this town is protected by Ganjiabao, it is so prosperous and prosperous. Therefore, it is actually normal to let Ganjiabao get some harvest, not to mention that the prices are quite reasonable.

The little carpenter had prepared ten copper plates long ago. When the person arrived, he hurriedly offered them, but unexpectedly the other party did not accept them, but looked at him condescendingly.

The leader of a man with a thick beard stared at him until the little carpenter was a little uncomfortable, and then said, "Little carpenter?"

The little carpenter told others that his surname was Gan and asked someone to call him a little carpenter. This is well known, so the man naturally knew that the little carpenter bowed and said what instructions were there?

The man grinned, revealing his smoky yellow teeth and said, "I heard that your business is good here?"

The little carpenter's heart skipped a beat and knew that the other party was jealous.

But he didn't want to cause trouble, but said "respectfully": "Small business is all craftsmanship..."

The man grinned and said, "Craftsmanship? Is your craft really expensive?" Our daughter in the head took an imam statue from you, and you actually asked for half a dollar for the price. It was really expensive...

The little carpenter traveled around the world and traveled around the world, and naturally had the ability to observe the words and expressions. When he heard the other party's words, he immediately said: "Brother, don't have to say anything. It's my honor to have the lady like it. In this way, you can bring the money back to me. In addition, please ask me what else she wants. I will turn around and get a free copy for her..."

He was very open, but the tax collector did not accept him, but said with a smile: "Do you think my Ganjiabao is a place where you buy goods but don't pay the bill?"

The little carpenter lowered his head and said he didn't dare, he didn't dare.

Seeing his attitude, the man smiled with satisfaction and said, "We know very well how much you have earned in the past few days, and we are too lazy to argue with you - paying taxes according to the rules, this is the rule. Take out forty oceans and continue to set up the stalls, if not..."

He paused for a moment, and another man with muscles next to him sneered coldly: "If not, I will smash your stall and get out of the Ganjiabao Market..."

After hearing this, the little carpenter immediately realized that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Indeed, he has made some money in the past few days, but he has all relied on his good skills and exquisite carving. Even so, his pure profit is not as good as fifty oceans, not to mention that he has to eat and stay. The other party's actions are simply like plucking his hair by the geese and unreasonable.

But, what can he do?

Draw your sword toward each other?

The little carpenter couldn't, so he had to argue with reason. When the two tax collectors from Ganjiabao heard this, they were immediately annoyed. They were also waving their whips and approaching to capture them.

The little carpenter retreated repeatedly, and the crowds next to him dispersed.

And just then, someone shouted in a coquettish voice: "Stop."
Chapter completed!
