Chapter 26: Making a living

"Gu!"

After lying back on the bed for a long time, the saliva was swallowed with difficulty, and it was extremely loud in the quiet room. Ye Junsheng's mood is very complicated, so complicated that he could not make up a charter at all. Just as he heard the old bull speak, he flashed a scene in "A Chinese Odyssey" in a nonsense: The second leader heard the cow raised in the bullpen and spoke, and was shocked by the reality of "demon dancing around", and was frightened to the point of pissing, and almost ran away without any loyalty.

Ye Junsheng is not very scared now. After all, he has been mentally prepared for the origin of the old cow. However, even though he is ready, he will still be surprised when this moment really happens under his nose.

After the surprise, there was a hint of unhidden joy: So, we are now the "cowherd" with the help of the divine cow?

Bah, I won’t be a cowherd.

Outside the window, the wind and rain were falling, and the night was dark.

——Since winter is coming, will spring be far away?

The cold wave came faster than expected. When I woke up the next day, I felt obviously chilling. I had to wear winter clothes.

The Ye family is poor and lacks winter clothes. Ye Junsheng and his sister wrapped several clothes around their bodies, wrapping them like a not-so-smelling rice dumpling to keep warm.

Early in the morning, Ye Junmei went out again.

Ye Junsheng stood under the corridor and looked at the Great Sage.

Overnight, the Great Sage seemed to have undergone some wonderful changes. Although the bones of the body did not become strong, the fur on the surface showed a new meaning, as if it had changed a layer, and it was no longer as morbid and dry as before, but became lush and smooth.

This cow has become younger...

Ye Junsheng suddenly thought of the incident of it devouring the ghost fire last night.

The Great Sage may be a bull demon; if it is a monster, it is impossible to eat grass and leaves like ordinary cows. These things can fill their stomachs, but that's all.

However, since it has followed its former owner Ayong for so many years, why hasn't it appeared to improve its situation? Could it be that Ayong didn't notice it? Or maybe the Great Sage was afraid that as soon as he spoke, he would scare its former owner to death?

You should know that the cows you raise at home suddenly can speak, and it is impossible for idle people to accept them. Even if they are not scared to death, they will probably report to the official to deal with it.

This cow must have an unusual story, but I don’t know if it knows whether it is acquainted with the mysterious fox fairy.

Thoughts circling, Ye Junsheng's eyes were burning.

The Great Sage suddenly looked up, and his two big bull eyes glanced at him, then he didn't say anything, and he lay lazily on his face, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Ye Junsheng wanted to speak but stopped, but he finally didn't say anything. Some words should be left to the right time to give the best effect.

"Brother, come here!"

At noon, Ye Junmei trotted back to the yard and shouted loudly.

Ye Junsheng thought something was wrong, so he came out quickly, but saw his sister blushing and excited.

"What's the matter?"

"Brother, I helped you contact some business."

"Hmm? What kind of livelihood?"

"Write couplets!"

Ye Junmei's voice was crisp and excited, and she told the story in one breath: It turned out that the end of the year was approaching, and every household had to change new couplets, which was a very important custom. In this world, there was no machine for printing couplets, and all couplets needed to be handwritten; in order to get new couplets, ordinary people could only buy them, or carry gifts to the scholars and ask them to write.

In Tianhua Dynasty, not many people can read books, and they are in short supply.

Therefore, before the end of the year every year, many poor scholars open stalls in the market and write couplets to make some money.

This is business.

Ye Junsheng was not a stupid person, so he immediately figured out the key points and slapped his thigh: I almost forgot this!

Ye Junmei said, "I asked, no one in the two or three villages can read and read. Their new couplets every year are asked to go to other places. Since my brother is here, I can write them for them and exchange them for the supplies they need."

The couplets written by ordinary scholars naturally cannot be sold at a price. If you want to make a fortune by relying on this, it is a delusion. But it is still OK to exchange for some daily consumables such as food, rice, oil and salt.

That's enough.

Now the Ye family is short of living resources.

"Okay, this is done."

After determining the target, Ye Junsheng rushed back to the county town and spent twenty cents to buy a knife of red paper specially used to write couplets.

This paper is not very good, it is the worst and very rough.

There is no way, it is not enough to buy good paper. Besides, buying good paper to write couplets, if you can't sell it at a price, you will lose money, and there is no need.

The villagers don’t care about the quality of paper.

With paper and pen and ink, you will have complete belongings and you can open your business.

Ye Junmei was eloquent and became a "salesman". He took a model of a couplet written by his brother and went to sell and recruit every household.

It was almost impossible to talk, and many people agreed. After all, the demand was placed there. Unless there was no way, the poor people who couldn't make the blame, would post new couplets to get good intentions. Ye Junsheng's calligraphy was written very well and the price was extremely fair. So what else would the villagers not be satisfied with?

In just a few days, Ye Junsheng exchanged forty-three pairs of couplets. At the same time, he obtained twenty-five kilograms of rice, two kilograms of meat, three kilograms of cotton, one kilogram of old hen, and several copper coins...

During this period, there were rumors that the Huang family’s house was originally haunted, but after the Ye brothers and sisters moved in, there was no movement. This is not simple. Posting a couplet written by Ye Junsheng can also ward off evil spirits.

This time, the entire Guangping Township spread everywhere, and many families came to visit. It was faintly true that Ye Junsheng had become a little famous and became even more popular.

Ye Junsheng smiled and said, when writing couplets, the flowing water flowed without any obstacles. These Spring Festival couplets are nothing more than auspicious words such as "the sky increases the years and people increase their lives". They almost don't need to write well, just write them well.

"Brother, you told the rumor on purpose?"

The food was unprecedentedly rich tonight, including meat, vegetables, and a fish. Ye Junmei ate it happily and asked, with a cunning smile on her lips.

Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "Our family is doing business. Although it is a small business, it still needs to advertise."

He was very satisfied with this matter. The haunted thing, regardless of whether it is true or false, has long been deeply rooted in the minds of the villagers. However, after they lived in the Huang family's house, no strange happens again. With a little exaggeration, the argument that ghosts are afraid of them and therefore dare not cause trouble. A little more teasing, and putting it in terms of words can provoke the words written by Ye Junsheng that can ward off evil spirits-

This is similar to the right rather than the wrong, exaggerated propaganda methods, which are common in modern society. Ye Junsheng can easily learn it and achieve surprising results.

Advertise?

Ye Junmei didn't understand the meaning of this word, but it must be a good thing. She thought with a smile: Since my brother got it, he has been reborn and always had some wonderful ideas.

If this momentum continues, this year's end will be very comfortable.

OK, so good!
