See you in the world
Chapter 432
Chapter 432
Yunjing believes that his grandfather will be able to handle the road construction well. He is the village head, and he has enough prestige. Besides, he has lived a long time and is well-versed in the world, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
Now the life of the whole village is getting better. Although it is not rich yet, at least they can eat enough and wear warmth. It is time to implement related supporting facilities.
Although road construction is not necessary, there is a good road, and it is easier for the villagers to travel. If there are cattle, horses and vehicles, it will be much easier to go to the town.
After returning from his study tour, Yun Jing made up the necessary part of the imperial examination, and he will continue to focus on studying to obtain a higher degree of fame.
Today, Yun Jing is not so attached to fame and fame, it is optional, but he still wants to go on this road, not to be an official, to put it more vulgarly, just to glorify his ancestors.
In fact, Yunjing doesn't care about these things, but his family does. He has a high level of knowledge and a high reputation, and his family members will be honored.
Life is actually very short, if you can make the people you care about not regret as much as possible in this limited time, then it will be worthwhile to come to this world...
In addition to reading and practicing martial arts, Yun Jing is not idle. It is not because he has grown up and has fame. He is like an uncle at home. He can help with odd jobs at home. , and not much to do.
It’s the end of the year, and the New Year’s Eve is approaching. This is the most important solar term of the year for the Dali Dynasty. Every household is busy cleaning the house and preparing festival items. These things are handled by the family members. The brothers and sisters of Yunjing just need to listen to their orders. just fine.
On the morning of the fifth day after returning home, the days calmed down completely. After the initial joy of returning home, Yunjing once again became the object of dislike. She would be nagged about sleeping for a while, and told to sit for a while if she didn’t wear well. You will be said that you don’t know how to go out for a walk, and you will be paralyzed until you get rusty...
The days at home are too difficult, but very warm.
This morning, after Yunjing washed up, he went to the barn to feed the cows. The only fodder was the straw that was brought home after the autumn harvest.
Dahei and Yunjing at home didn't change much when they left. They were smooth and smooth, and their physique was a few circles larger than ordinary big buffaloes. It is more ferocious than tigers and leopards. If Dahei gets mad, he can trample an ordinary tiger to death with one hoof. Under the nourishment of Yunjing's spiritual energy for many years, it is already a veritable beast.
"I can't tell that you are a ten-year-old cow. People will believe that you have just grown up. Your physique can't grow anymore. Now it is enough to bluff people. If there is no accident, you probably have to You have worked hard for our family for decades or hundreds of years, but farm work is nothing to you at all."
Yun Jing patted Da Hei's back and whispered.
He has feelings for Dahei, and he let it go since he was a child. It can be said that Dahei grew up with Yunjing, and now he can continue to accompany him. This feeling is really good.
Ordinary farm cattle, more than ten years old, are so old that they can no longer farm, but Yunjing's big buffalo does not have such a weakened condition, which makes the villagers amazed. Yunjing heard from his family that once Some people paid several times the price to buy his Dahei family, but they didn't do it.
Not to mention several times, if you sell it a hundred times, you will lose money, but the one who loses is the person who bought the cow, because Dahei recognizes his family and will come back by himself...
Dahei chewed the straw, and rubbed Yunjing's palm with the horn from time to time, as intimacy as before.
Ordinary people may only think that Dahei has a strong physique, but only Yunjing knows that Dahei already has a certain amount of wisdom, much smarter than dogs and the like, can understand simple language, and is also the caretaker of the home Experts, I reckon that if an ordinary mid-acquired martial artist breaks into the house, Dahei can kill him if he goes crazy.
After feeding Dahei with fodder and adding water to the tank, Yunjing patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
When he turned around, Yunjing was muttering in his heart, if he wanted to separate from Yundong in the future, he could not have his own house or fields, but Dahei could not give it to his younger brother, after all, he had been with Dahei for so many years.
Speaking of family separation, this problem may be far away at present, but it will be a problem to be faced in the future. The two brothers have grown up and will start their own families in the future, so it will be inconvenient to live together.
Forget about him, let's talk about the future, after all, the current situation of the Yunjing family, the two brothers will not turn against each other because of the uneven distribution when the family is divided.
No matter what era, brothers and sisters often turn against each other because of family property issues and even fight. Many times, they even have lawsuits. This is the reality...
Grandpa Yunlin went to discuss the road construction with the villagers, and he is not at home. There will be no clear result on this matter for a day or two, so he can only wait for the news.
Yunshan is not at home, it’s winter, I have nothing to do, and I don’t know where to go to chat, fart and drink. Now Xiaoxi Village’s life is better, and the winter is free, and I can live a little bit. Little days in the imagination.
Younger brother Yun Dong was feeding the little chickens, and the palm-sized chickens were chattering so loudly, Yun Dong was obviously annoyed, but that was the task Yun Jing gave him, and he had to take it seriously, so let's not talk about all kinds of entanglements.
The little girl Yun Xi is very obedient, she studies when she has time, or learns from her mother as a female celebrity, which is much more worry-free than Yun Dong.
"Mom, I'm going to go to town later. It's the end of the year. I have to go and ask about the business of the cake shop. I'll buy some things by the way. If there's anything missing at home, I'll bring them back." Yunjing entered the room He looked at his mother, who was sitting by the charcoal basin and was picking beans from a basket, and said.
Jiang Susu put a handful of picked rotten beans into the small box next to it, looked up and said, "I can't even see the sky road, Xiaojing should not go to town, it's very dangerous."
Now that the snow is one or two feet thick, Jiang Susu is inevitably worried when Yunjing says he wants to go to the town.
Yun Jing comforted: "Mother, don't worry, don't forget that I have practiced martial arts, and now I can walk on the snow without a trace. How can mere snow stop your son and me?"
"You, don't let mother worry at all. How old is she? Mother still has to worry about it for you. With a little skill, you can think about yourself. In case something unexpected happens... Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah. , Mom didn’t mean that, anyway, you don’t worry about going to town in this weather,” Jiang Susu said worriedly.
No matter how old the son is, no matter how capable he is, in the eyes of the mother, he will always be the little one who needs to be taken care of by her side all the time.
Obediently squatting beside her mother, Yun Jing flattered her and said, "You are a mother, you still have to worry about me for the rest of your life, decades and hundreds of years, this is where you are going, mother, don't worry, I will definitely come back before dark."
"Go, go, and worry about you for hundreds of years. You have to worry about it, and you live so old. Isn't mother an old monster? Okay, you insist on going to mother and don't stop you, right If it's convenient, bring some cloth back. At the end of the year, mother will make a new set of clothes for each of you brothers and sisters," Jiang Susu said unhappily, laughing as he spoke.
Xiaojing really dared to think about living for hundreds of years.
"It's great to have new clothes to wear, mother, don't worry, I've ordered you to bring back satisfactory fabrics, just to work hard, mother," Yun Jing got up and said.
Now that the family is not short of money, most of the clothes on the market can afford it, but can the ones made by mother be the same?
"I also know that mother is hard, who told you that you were born by mother, you must have owed you in the previous life, and you will pay off the debt in this life... By the way, don't buy too expensive fabrics, you can save a little bit", Jiang Susu murmured , it seems that there are endless things to say, but no matter how much she says, Yun Jing listens patiently and earnestly.
After discussing with his mother, Yunjing didn't have anything to prepare, so he took an umbrella and went out.
"Brother, can you bring me a knife back, what a guy, I really want it"
As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, Yun Dong sneaked out and looked at Yun Jingdao pitifully. Boys like to wield knives and guns, and Yun Dong is no exception. Yunjing is the older brother.
Yun Jing said: "I don't have much skills, so I want to take the real thing. If the thing is not good, it will hurt myself. It's useless to beg me. You can talk to your parents or your master first."
"Brother, please, please, I really want a sword. It hasn't been long since Master taught me how to practice martial arts. He won't let me touch a real sword, let alone my parents. Now I have a chance only if you allow me." , Yundong continued to say pitifully.
Smiling, Yun Jing said: "They are all kind to you, so don't beg me, I have the same idea with them"
Hearing this, Yun Dong's face collapsed, knowing that there was no way out.
But Yun Jing changed the subject and said: "Well, if you want a knife, it's not impossible. When you finish memorizing all the books you should memorize, my brother will buy you one. How? Fair enough?"
"Really?" Yun Dong said happily.
Yun Jing nodded seriously and said, "Why are you lying to me?"
"Then it's settled, I'll endorse it now," Yun Dong was afraid that Yun Jing would repent, so he turned around and ran away after leaving such a sentence.
Cursing his lips, Yun Jingxin said that if you can really memorize all the books you should memorize, I would really be willing to buy you a real one that I have been thinking about. The question is, can you do it?
I thought so, but Yun Jing did not forget to ask him to feed the chicks while endorsing the book...
After going out not far, Yunjing saw Jiang Xiaoxi who was walking on the snow with a basket.
Over the years, she has almost walked out of the original haze, and she has a smile on her face. Seeing that Yun Jing is about to go out, she greeted with a smile: "Xiao Jing, where are you going?"
The two had met each other two days ago, and this was not the first time Yunjing met after returning from his study tour.
Yun Jing responded: "Hello, auntie, I'm going to go to town, mother is at home"
There is no need for a family to be so polite, and the etiquette and the like are saved, otherwise it will appear very alienated.
Jiang Xiaoxi nodded and said: "That's it, then you go, I'll bring you some dried mushrooms, come back early in the afternoon, Auntie will make mushroom stewed chicken for you"
"Okay, then I'll go to my aunt first, if you come back late, you have to save some for me"
"Don't worry, I know you're hungry..."
Saying goodbye to Jiang Xiaoxi, Yunjing strode out of the village, noticing that no one was paying attention, soaring into the sky and flying to Niujiao Town with peace of mind, why walk if you can fly?
Not long after Yunjing left Xiaoxi Village for Niujiao Town, three high-spirited young people came to the entrance of the village, all around 20 years old, two men and one woman, each holding a horse. A burly boy started bluffing, and said loudly, "I'm back..."
The sound echoed over the village for a long time, and the villagers came out to check after hearing the news, and then the village became lively.
The three of them were the three who went to Fengdaomen in Xinlin County to learn from teachers, and now they are back. At the beginning, Wang Butou brought people to Xiaoxi Village to select martial arts seedlings. I struggled for a while, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed...
When Yun Jing came to Niujiao Town, he didn't go to the store immediately, but came to the small courtyard where he lived and studied with his master Li Qiu.
Standing at the door, Yunjing felt a little melancholy, thinking back then, the master and apprentice lived together here, but now the master has been away for many years, this place has left too many memories and hardships for Yunjing.
Practicing handwriting until I can’t lift my hands, planting the land until the palms are full of blisters..., recalling all kinds of pasts, there is no bit by bit of accumulation at the beginning, and maybe there is no Yunjing today.
It's still the same as when Yunjing left, the yard was cleaned and the doors were all open.
Yun Jing stepped into the small courtyard, just as a young man in Tsing Yi came out from the room.
The other party was obviously stunned when he saw Yun Jing, and then he quickly walked over with a look of surprise and said, "Master, you are back."
The young man was none other than Song Yan, the school boy arranged for him by Yunjing's master Li Qiu. Yunjing didn't take him with him during the study tour, and asked him to take care of the place and worry about the cake shop by the way.
Regarding Song Yan, Yun Jing is still very relieved. Firstly, it is because of his heart, and secondly, the relationship between the two is a master-servant relationship, not an ordinary master-servant relationship. It must be known that Song Yan signed the contract of sale back then, and his fate Everything is in the hands of Yun Jing, if he betrays, he only needs to inform the government, there is no room for him in the world.
It was precisely because of this relationship that Song Yan was so excited after seeing Yunjing. When Yunjing was not around, he felt a little bit without backbone.
"Well, it's been a few days since you came back from your study tour, and you've been spending time with your family these days, so you only have time to come here today, how are you doing during this time?" Yun Jingjing nodded.
Song Yan naturally took the umbrella from Yunjing's hand, then followed Yunjing half a step behind and replied, "Master, everything is fine with me. It's just that you're not here during this time, and I always feel empty in my heart. Now that the young master is back Now, my little heart is much more at ease.”
"Don't give me this set, it sounds weird," Yun Jing said dumbly.
After the two entered the room, Song Yan put away the paper umbrella consciously, then immediately moved a stool for Yunjing, and went to make tea for Yunjing without stopping.
Even after a few months, he is still not familiar with this set of procedures, even more sloppy than before.
After taking a sip of tea, Yun Jing looked at Song Yan and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've already entered the middle of the day after tomorrow. Not bad, it seems that you haven't been lazy during my absence."
"Thanks to the young master, if the young master hadn't bestowed the secret book of exercises, I wouldn't be where I am today. How dare I let the young master down, I don't dare to be tired for a moment, and now the young one is a bit of a trick, although I dare not Comparing with the young master, but if someone offends the young master, the young one can help the young master take care of it." Song Yan laughed, his tone full of confidence.
Although the two are in a master-servant relationship, they are not ordinary master-servants. They have more friends and speak casually. Of course, there are still rules that should be said, and they cannot be exceeded.
Song Yan is the same age as Yun Jing, and his talent in martial arts is actually mediocre. The reason why he has set foot in the middle stage of Houtian now, apart from the hard work he knows that the opportunity is hard-won, is one aspect of the secrets of martial arts given by Yunjing, mainly because of Yunjing's years. Secretly using spiritual energy to help him achieve what he is today.
Martial arts cultivation in the mid-acquired stage, in fact, at this stage, he is only at the middle and lower levels in the world, and he can't compare with the top-notch geniuses, but this kind of skill is more than enough in Niujiao Town, even if you look at Xinning County. A good hand.
As today's book boy, after Yunjing establishes his own family in the future, no surprises, Song Yan will be the housekeeper of Yunjing's family. It can be regarded as a face, and Song Yan will help Yunjing to do many things in the future , so naturally it needs to be cultivated.
"Master, I'm not a troublemaker. There are so many unscrupulous people who come to bump into me and wait for you to take care of it. Instead of thinking about this, you might as well focus on studying," Yun Jing shook his head and said.
Song Yan said: "Don't worry, young master, I haven't left behind in my studies."
Song Yan didn't say much about this, he had already sold himself to Yunjing, and now he is a lowly student, not eligible for the imperial examination, that was his own choice back then, and studying was only for the purpose of doing better for Yunjing in the future.
"Well, I know your character, so I don't need to say more, just do things with your heart, and you will not treat you badly in the future." After talking here, Yunjing changed the subject and said: "Okay, tell me, I'm not here How has the shop been doing during this time?"
Song Yan immediately said sternly: "Master, the shop is running well now. Aside from all expenses, the shop's monthly net profit is at least 5000 taels..."
"Wait, how much?" Hearing this, Yun Jing suddenly interrupted him and said slightly stunned.
If the net profit above 5000 taels is converted into cattle, then it must be 250 head... Well, Yunjing is used to measuring money by the price of farm cattle.
But the crux of the problem is, can the cake shop earn that much in a month?
Song Yan nodded and said: "Yes, young master, you heard it right, it is more than 5000 taels, the reason why there are so many is because the reputation of our cake shop is gradually spreading, and many people from far away will come to spend money to buy it. Most of the customers in the area are custom-made and expensive. There are too many rich people in the county town, and there are also restaurants and teahouses, which are also our main sellers. There are always high-end customers in those places, especially It’s the end of the year, and business is booming. The net profit of this month may exceed 20,000 taels. It should be known that the major households will not be stingy with spending money during the New Year Festival, and there are many gatherings among various scholars during the time of the end of the year. Get up, our cakes are indispensable to add to the fun, hey, those scholars who use cakes to curry favor with little ladies are the only magic weapon..."
Hearing what Song Yan said, Yunjing was relieved. Yunjing never planned to do business with ordinary people from the very beginning. After the novelty passed, not only did the business not weaken, but it got better and better. Method, exclusive operation, and monopoly profits are so hot.
This is only limited to Xinlin County. If you look at the world, the profits will be endless.
Making money is one thing, but high profits come with high risks. You should know that there are many jealous and unruly guys in this era.
After Song Yan had finished speaking, Yun Jing asked, "The shop makes so much money, so nothing happened, right?"
Speaking of this, Song Yan murmured: "So that the young master knows that our shop is doing well and earning money. Of course, there are jealous people. When the young master is away, there are more than ten times to discuss cooperation and buy formulas." Yes, there are people from the local area, as well as those from the county town or even the county town, but this is a business that lays golden eggs, how can it be cheaper for others, the shopkeeper Zhang refused, and people came to make trouble many times. Sent it away, so far there is no major mistake.”
Liu Dazhuang, Ding Wei and the others' current skills can still stand up in Niujiao Town. Yun Jingting nodded and said: "Except for these ordinary troublemakers, there is no one in the martial arts who is jealous? What about official troubles?"
"No", Song Yan shook his head immediately, and then continued: "This is also a small and strange place. It is easy to say on the official level, young master, you are a person of fame, and with Mr. Li's current status, you are jealous of our business. People who want to find trouble from the official side naturally have to weigh whether their bones are strong or not, but people in the martial arts are strange, they don’t have such troubles, it’s as if someone specially greeted them, and the little ones are very puzzled.”
"Tsk, it stands to reason that people in martial arts eat the ugliest food, but they don't have any troubles about it. To be honest, I'm also a little puzzled," Yun Jing mused.
Looking at Yun Jing's face, Song Yan said, "Master, why don't you find a way to understand why there is no trouble from Jianghu?"
After thinking for a while, Yun Jing said: "It's okay to understand a little bit, but don't get too entangled, since it's okay, it's good."
"I understand, little one. By the way, young master, do you need me to show you the account books for the past few months?" Song Yan nodded.
Yun Jing shook his head and said, "No need, I can rest assured that you are in charge."
That being said, in fact, Yun Jing had already secretly read the account book with his thoughts while he was talking, so there was no need to do anything more, but there was no need to tell Song Yan about this kind of thing.
For such trust in Yunjing, Song Yan was extremely grateful in his heart, he didn't show it, he just kept it in his heart, and he continued to ask: "Master, I feel that our pastries can be made bigger and stronger, and now we have the capital , do you want to open a branch elsewhere?"
No one would think that the money is too small. Given the popularity of the cake, the money is just there waiting to be picked up. Why not? As a servant, Song Yan really considers the issue from Yunjing's point of view.
Regarding his proposal, Yun Jing said: "I don't need it for now, let's talk about it after the New Year's Eve. I have worries in my heart. Money can never be earned, and sometimes too much money is not necessarily a good thing."
"Little one understands," Song Yan stopped talking.
Then Yun Jing got up and said, "Let's go, follow me to the shop. After leaving for a few months, Uncle Zhang is busy, and I will be the shopkeeper. There is no reason not to say hello when I come back."
"Good young master, it's just that it's too late to prepare a car for you now," Song Yan said anxiously, and at the same time said that Zhang Changgui met his young master, he really met a noble person. At the beginning, he was a toilet seller, but now he welcomes and sends it to him. people.
Not knowing what Song Yan was thinking, Yun Jing walked towards the door and said, "No, we'll just walk there. It's not too far anyway. By the way, you may be busy next time. Help me buy some fabrics. It doesn't need much, but Alright, let’s buy a dozen horses first. This thing has to be done today. I have to go back in the afternoon and take it away. Then, after the New Year’s Eve, I’m going to visit gentlemen and relatives and friends. You have to prepare gifts for me in advance. , I will give you a list later, you should know how to do it yourself"
There is no need for Yunjing to do these things himself if someone helps him. After all, he is no longer the peasant boy who used to have enough food for his family.
Today is not what it used to be, who can tell clearly about the fate of life.
"I understand," Song Yan nodded seriously.
Having been a book boy for so many years, he certainly knows what kind of gift should be given to someone, and he will prepare it for Yunjing. If he doesn't even have this bit of vision, what use is he?
……
(End of this chapter)
Yunjing believes that his grandfather will be able to handle the road construction well. He is the village head, and he has enough prestige. Besides, he has lived a long time and is well-versed in the world, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
Now the life of the whole village is getting better. Although it is not rich yet, at least they can eat enough and wear warmth. It is time to implement related supporting facilities.
Although road construction is not necessary, there is a good road, and it is easier for the villagers to travel. If there are cattle, horses and vehicles, it will be much easier to go to the town.
After returning from his study tour, Yun Jing made up the necessary part of the imperial examination, and he will continue to focus on studying to obtain a higher degree of fame.
Today, Yun Jing is not so attached to fame and fame, it is optional, but he still wants to go on this road, not to be an official, to put it more vulgarly, just to glorify his ancestors.

Life is actually very short, if you can make the people you care about not regret as much as possible in this limited time, then it will be worthwhile to come to this world...
In addition to reading and practicing martial arts, Yun Jing is not idle. It is not because he has grown up and has fame. He is like an uncle at home. He can help with odd jobs at home. , and not much to do.
It’s the end of the year, and the New Year’s Eve is approaching. This is the most important solar term of the year for the Dali Dynasty. Every household is busy cleaning the house and preparing festival items. These things are handled by the family members. The brothers and sisters of Yunjing just need to listen to their orders. just fine.
On the morning of the fifth day after returning home, the days calmed down completely. After the initial joy of returning home, Yunjing once again became the object of dislike. She would be nagged about sleeping for a while, and told to sit for a while if she didn’t wear well. You will be said that you don’t know how to go out for a walk, and you will be paralyzed until you get rusty...
The days at home are too difficult, but very warm.
This morning, after Yunjing washed up, he went to the barn to feed the cows. The only fodder was the straw that was brought home after the autumn harvest.
Dahei and Yunjing at home didn't change much when they left. They were smooth and smooth, and their physique was a few circles larger than ordinary big buffaloes. It is more ferocious than tigers and leopards. If Dahei gets mad, he can trample an ordinary tiger to death with one hoof. Under the nourishment of Yunjing's spiritual energy for many years, it is already a veritable beast.
"I can't tell that you are a ten-year-old cow. People will believe that you have just grown up. Your physique can't grow anymore. Now it is enough to bluff people. If there is no accident, you probably have to You have worked hard for our family for decades or hundreds of years, but farm work is nothing to you at all."
Yun Jing patted Da Hei's back and whispered.
He has feelings for Dahei, and he let it go since he was a child. It can be said that Dahei grew up with Yunjing, and now he can continue to accompany him. This feeling is really good.
Ordinary farm cattle, more than ten years old, are so old that they can no longer farm, but Yunjing's big buffalo does not have such a weakened condition, which makes the villagers amazed. Yunjing heard from his family that once Some people paid several times the price to buy his Dahei family, but they didn't do it.
Not to mention several times, if you sell it a hundred times, you will lose money, but the one who loses is the person who bought the cow, because Dahei recognizes his family and will come back by himself...
Dahei chewed the straw, and rubbed Yunjing's palm with the horn from time to time, as intimacy as before.
Ordinary people may only think that Dahei has a strong physique, but only Yunjing knows that Dahei already has a certain amount of wisdom, much smarter than dogs and the like, can understand simple language, and is also the caretaker of the home Experts, I reckon that if an ordinary mid-acquired martial artist breaks into the house, Dahei can kill him if he goes crazy.
After feeding Dahei with fodder and adding water to the tank, Yunjing patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
When he turned around, Yunjing was muttering in his heart, if he wanted to separate from Yundong in the future, he could not have his own house or fields, but Dahei could not give it to his younger brother, after all, he had been with Dahei for so many years.
Speaking of family separation, this problem may be far away at present, but it will be a problem to be faced in the future. The two brothers have grown up and will start their own families in the future, so it will be inconvenient to live together.

Grandpa Yunlin went to discuss the road construction with the villagers, and he is not at home. There will be no clear result on this matter for a day or two, so he can only wait for the news.

Now that the snow is one or two feet thick, Jiang Susu is inevitably worried when Yunjing says he wants to go to the town.

At the end of the year, mother will make a new set of clothes for each of you brothers and sisters," Jiang Susu said unhappily, laughing as he spoke.
Xiaojing really dared to think about living for hundreds of years.
"It's great to have new clothes to wear, mother, don't worry, I've ordered you to bring back satisfactory fabrics, just to work hard, mother," Yun Jing got up and said.
Now that the family is not short of money, most of the clothes on the market can afford it, but can the ones made by mother be the same?
"I also know that mother is hard, who told you that you were born by mother, you must have owed you in the previous life, and you will pay off the debt in this life... By the way, don't buy too expensive fabrics, you can save a little bit", Jiang Susu murmured , it seems that there are endless things to say, but no matter how much she says, Yun Jing listens patiently and earnestly.
After discussing with his mother, Yunjing didn't have anything to prepare, so he took an umbrella and went out.
"Brother, can you bring me a knife back, what a guy, I really want it"
As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, Yun Dong sneaked out and looked at Yun Jingdao pitifully. Boys like to wield knives and guns, and Yun Dong is no exception. Yunjing is the older brother.
Yun Jing said: "I don't have much skills, so I want to take the real thing. If the thing is not good, it will hurt myself. It's useless to beg me. You can talk to your parents or your master first."
"Brother, please, please, I really want a sword. It hasn't been long since Master taught me how to practice martial arts. He won't let me touch a real sword, let alone my parents. Now I have a chance only if you allow me." , Yundong continued to say pitifully.
Smiling, Yun Jing said: "They are all kind to you, so don't beg me, I have the same idea with them"
Hearing this, Yun Dong's face collapsed, knowing that there was no way out.
But Yun Jing changed the subject and said: "Well, if you want a knife, it's not impossible. When you finish memorizing all the books you should memorize, my brother will buy you one. How? Fair enough?"
"Really?" Yun Dong said happily.
Yun Jing nodded seriously and said, "Why are you lying to me?"
"Then it's settled, I'll endorse it now," Yun Dong was afraid that Yun Jing would repent, so he turned around and ran away after leaving such a sentence.
Cursing his lips, Yun Jingxin said that if you can really memorize all the books you should memorize, I would really be willing to buy you a real one that I have been thinking about. The question is, can you do it?
I thought so, but Yun Jing did not forget to ask him to feed the chicks while endorsing the book...
After going out not far, Yunjing saw Jiang Xiaoxi who was walking on the snow with a basket.
Over the years, she has almost walked out of the original haze, and she has a smile on her face. Seeing that Yun Jing is about to go out, she greeted with a smile: "Xiao Jing, where are you going?"
The two had met each other two days ago, and this was not the first time Yunjing met after returning from his study tour.
Yun Jing responded: "Hello, auntie, I'm going to go to town, mother is at home"
There is no need for a family to be so polite, and the etiquette and the like are saved, otherwise it will appear very alienated.
Jiang Xiaoxi nodded and said: "That's it, then you go, I'll bring you some dried mushrooms, come back early in the afternoon, Auntie will make mushroom stewed chicken for you"
"Okay, then I'll go to my aunt first, if you come back late, you have to save some for me"
"Don't worry, I know you're hungry..."
Saying goodbye to Jiang Xiaoxi, Yunjing strode out of the village, noticing that no one was paying attention, soaring into the sky and flying to Niujiao Town with peace of mind, why walk if you can fly?
Not long after Yunjing left Xiaoxi Village for Niujiao Town, three high-spirited young people came to the entrance of the village, all around 20 years old, two men and one woman, each holding a horse. A burly boy started bluffing, and said loudly, "I'm back..."
The sound echoed over the village for a long time, and the villagers came out to check after hearing the news, and then the village became lively.
The three of them were the three who went to Fengdaomen in Xinlin County to learn from teachers, and now they are back. At the beginning, Wang Butou brought people to Xiaoxi Village to select martial arts seedlings. I struggled for a while, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed...
When Yun Jing came to Niujiao Town, he didn't go to the store immediately, but came to the small courtyard where he lived and studied with his master Li Qiu.
Standing at the door, Yunjing felt a little melancholy, thinking back then, the master and apprentice lived together here, but now the master has been away for many years, this place has left too many memories and hardships for Yunjing.
Practicing handwriting until I can’t lift my hands, planting the land until the palms are full of blisters..., recalling all kinds of pasts, there is no bit by bit of accumulation at the beginning, and maybe there is no Yunjing today.
It's still the same as when Yunjing left, the yard was cleaned and the doors were all open.
Yun Jing stepped into the small courtyard, just as a young man in Tsing Yi came out from the room.
The other party was obviously stunned when he saw Yun Jing, and then he quickly walked over with a look of surprise and said, "Master, you are back."
The young man was none other than Song Yan, the school boy arranged for him by Yunjing's master Li Qiu. Yunjing didn't take him with him during the study tour, and asked him to take care of the place and worry about the cake shop by the way.
Regarding Song Yan, Yun Jing is still very relieved. Firstly, it is because of his heart, and secondly, the relationship between the two is a master-servant relationship, not an ordinary master-servant relationship. It must be known that Song Yan signed the contract of sale back then, and his fate Everything is in the hands of Yun Jing, if he betrays, he only needs to inform the government, there is no room for him in the world.
It was precisely because of this relationship that Song Yan was so excited after seeing Yunjing. When Yunjing was not around, he felt a little bit without backbone.
"Well, it's been a few days since you came back from your study tour, and you've been spending time with your family these days, so you only have time to come here today, how are you doing during this time?" Yun Jingjing nodded.
Song Yan naturally took the umbrella from Yunjing's hand, then followed Yunjing half a step behind and replied, "Master, everything is fine with me. It's just that you're not here during this time, and I always feel empty in my heart. Now that the young master is back Now, my little heart is much more at ease.”
"Don't give me this set, it sounds weird," Yun Jing said dumbly.
After the two entered the room, Song Yan put away the paper umbrella consciously, then immediately moved a stool for Yunjing, and went to make tea for Yunjing without stopping.
Even after a few months, he is still not familiar with this set of procedures, even more sloppy than before.
After taking a sip of tea, Yun Jing looked at Song Yan and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've already entered the middle of the day after tomorrow. Not bad, it seems that you haven't been lazy during my absence."
"Thanks to the young master, if the young master hadn't bestowed the secret book of exercises, I wouldn't be where I am today. How dare I let the young master down, I don't dare to be tired for a moment, and now the young one is a bit of a trick, although I dare not Comparing with the young master, but if someone offends the young master, the young one can help the young master take care of it." Song Yan laughed, his tone full of confidence.
Although the two are in a master-servant relationship, they are not ordinary master-servants. They have more friends and speak casually. Of course, there are still rules that should be said, and they cannot be exceeded.
Song Yan is the same age as Yun Jing, and his talent in martial arts is actually mediocre. The reason why he has set foot in the middle stage of Houtian now, apart from the hard work he knows that the opportunity is hard-won, is one aspect of the secrets of martial arts given by Yunjing, mainly because of Yunjing's years. Secretly using spiritual energy to help him achieve what he is today.
Martial arts cultivation in the mid-acquired stage, in fact, at this stage, he is only at the middle and lower levels in the world, and he can't compare with the top-notch geniuses, but this kind of skill is more than enough in Niujiao Town, even if you look at Xinning County. A good hand.
As today's book boy, after Yunjing establishes his own family in the future, no surprises, Song Yan will be the housekeeper of Yunjing's family. It can be regarded as a face, and Song Yan will help Yunjing to do many things in the future , so naturally it needs to be cultivated.
"Master, I'm not a troublemaker. There are so many unscrupulous people who come to bump into me and wait for you to take care of it. Instead of thinking about this, you might as well focus on studying," Yun Jing shook his head and said.
Song Yan said: "Don't worry, young master, I haven't left behind in my studies."
Song Yan didn't say much about this, he had already sold himself to Yunjing, and now he is a lowly student, not eligible for the imperial examination, that was his own choice back then, and studying was only for the purpose of doing better for Yunjing in the future.
"Well, I know your character, so I don't need to say more, just do things with your heart, and you will not treat you badly in the future." After talking here, Yunjing changed the subject and said: "Okay, tell me, I'm not here How has the shop been doing during this time?"
Song Yan immediately said sternly: "Master, the shop is running well now. Aside from all expenses, the shop's monthly net profit is at least 5000 taels..."
"Wait, how much?" Hearing this, Yun Jing suddenly interrupted him and said slightly stunned.
If the net profit above 5000 taels is converted into cattle, then it must be 250 head... Well, Yunjing is used to measuring money by the price of farm cattle.
But the crux of the problem is, can the cake shop earn that much in a month?
Song Yan nodded and said: "Yes, young master, you heard it right, it is more than 5000 taels, the reason why there are so many is because the reputation of our cake shop is gradually spreading, and many people from far away will come to spend money to buy it. Most of the customers in the area are custom-made and expensive. There are too many rich people in the county town, and there are also restaurants and teahouses, which are also our main sellers. There are always high-end customers in those places, especially It’s the end of the year, and business is booming. The net profit of this month may exceed 20,000 taels. It should be known that the major households will not be stingy with spending money during the New Year Festival, and there are many gatherings among various scholars during the time of the end of the year. Get up, our cakes are indispensable to add to the fun, hey, those scholars who use cakes to curry favor with little ladies are the only magic weapon..."
Hearing what Song Yan said, Yunjing was relieved. Yunjing never planned to do business with ordinary people from the very beginning. After the novelty passed, not only did the business not weaken, but it got better and better. Method, exclusive operation, and monopoly profits are so hot.
This is only limited to Xinlin County. If you look at the world, the profits will be endless.
Making money is one thing, but high profits come with high risks. You should know that there are many jealous and unruly guys in this era.
After Song Yan had finished speaking, Yun Jing asked, "The shop makes so much money, so nothing happened, right?"
Speaking of this, Song Yan murmured: "So that the young master knows that our shop is doing well and earning money. Of course, there are jealous people. When the young master is away, there are more than ten times to discuss cooperation and buy formulas." Yes, there are people from the local area, as well as those from the county town or even the county town, but this is a business that lays golden eggs, how can it be cheaper for others, the shopkeeper Zhang refused, and people came to make trouble many times. Sent it away, so far there is no major mistake.”
Liu Dazhuang, Ding Wei and the others' current skills can still stand up in Niujiao Town. Yun Jingting nodded and said: "Except for these ordinary troublemakers, there is no one in the martial arts who is jealous? What about official troubles?"
"No", Song Yan shook his head immediately, and then continued: "This is also a small and strange place. It is easy to say on the official level, young master, you are a person of fame, and with Mr. Li's current status, you are jealous of our business. People who want to find trouble from the official side naturally have to weigh whether their bones are strong or not, but people in the martial arts are strange, they don’t have such troubles, it’s as if someone specially greeted them, and the little ones are very puzzled.”
"Tsk, it stands to reason that people in martial arts eat the ugliest food, but they don't have any troubles about it. To be honest, I'm also a little puzzled," Yun Jing mused.
Looking at Yun Jing's face, Song Yan said, "Master, why don't you find a way to understand why there is no trouble from Jianghu?"
After thinking for a while, Yun Jing said: "It's okay to understand a little bit, but don't get too entangled, since it's okay, it's good."
"I understand, little one. By the way, young master, do you need me to show you the account books for the past few months?" Song Yan nodded.
Yun Jing shook his head and said, "No need, I can rest assured that you are in charge."
That being said, in fact, Yun Jing had already secretly read the account book with his thoughts while he was talking, so there was no need to do anything more, but there was no need to tell Song Yan about this kind of thing.
For such trust in Yunjing, Song Yan was extremely grateful in his heart, he didn't show it, he just kept it in his heart, and he continued to ask: "Master, I feel that our pastries can be made bigger and stronger, and now we have the capital , do you want to open a branch elsewhere?"
No one would think that the money is too small. Given the popularity of the cake, the money is just there waiting to be picked up. Why not? As a servant, Song Yan really considers the issue from Yunjing's point of view.
Regarding his proposal, Yun Jing said: "I don't need it for now, let's talk about it after the New Year's Eve. I have worries in my heart. Money can never be earned, and sometimes too much money is not necessarily a good thing."
"Little one understands," Song Yan stopped talking.
Then Yun Jing got up and said, "Let's go, follow me to the shop. After leaving for a few months, Uncle Zhang is busy, and I will be the shopkeeper. There is no reason not to say hello when I come back."
"Good young master, it's just that it's too late to prepare a car for you now," Song Yan said anxiously, and at the same time said that Zhang Changgui met his young master, he really met a noble person. At the beginning, he was a toilet seller, but now he welcomes and sends it to him. people.
Not knowing what Song Yan was thinking, Yun Jing walked towards the door and said, "No, we'll just walk there. It's not too far anyway. By the way, you may be busy next time. Help me buy some fabrics. It doesn't need much, but Alright, let’s buy a dozen horses first. This thing has to be done today. I have to go back in the afternoon and take it away. Then, after the New Year’s Eve, I’m going to visit gentlemen and relatives and friends. You have to prepare gifts for me in advance. , I will give you a list later, you should know how to do it yourself"
There is no need for Yunjing to do these things himself if someone helps him. After all, he is no longer the peasant boy who used to have enough food for his family.
Today is not what it used to be, who can tell clearly about the fate of life.
"I understand," Song Yan nodded seriously.
Having been a book boy for so many years, he certainly knows what kind of gift should be given to someone, and he will prepare it for Yunjing. If he doesn't even have this bit of vision, what use is he?
