Section 13 Saving is making money
Wuchenzi is now the most popular person in Yejia Village, because he is not only rich, but also willing to spend money.
However, Wuchenzi is also a strange person and always puts forward some strange ideas for everyone to verify.
No, after having dinner at Ye Wenwen's house that day, I knelt on the mat and chatted with Ye Wenwen.
"Taoist Priest, you really have a good drinker." Ye Wenwen has been drinking a lot lately, but his drinker is naturally not as good as Wu Chenzi's because he can pretend.
"It's okay, brother, don't you feel uncomfortable in your legs?" Wuchenzi is not a good person. He came here for a purpose, because Ye Tan said that if he doesn't do it, he will lose the money. How can we still live like this life of fair and wine?
"It's been so many years, I'm used to it." Older people have cold legs. Is this a historical issue or a real issue? No one may be able to say it clearly, but the poor people don't have warm clothes and don't have enough to eat. Such problems are There is no way around it.
"Actually, Pindao thinks that some things can be solved." Wuchenzi was recently forced by Ye Tan to read some books, mainly Taoist monographs. Nonsense, you, a Taoist priest, drink wine and eat meat every day, you are Are you planning to go crazy?
People who do not read are different from those who do, not only in temperament, but also in their knowledge and way of thinking.
"Oh? I wonder what the Taoist priest has to say?" Ye Wenwen's eyes were drunk and his mouth smelled of alcohol.
"When I was in Chang'an a few years ago, I saw someone building a big kang and an earthen stove, and that solved the problem." Wuchenzi's lies came as soon as he opened his mouth.
"How did the Taoist priest know this?" Haven't you always said that you are someone else's guest? Would the guests care about this?
I feel Ye Wenwen's doubts, because I said at the beginning that I have a crush on Ye Tan and let him become my apprentice to pass on the mantle. Many people will agree, but it does not mean that Ye Wenwen is also the same. What a great ability this is, and It was money and food. Ye Tan also watched him grow up. Apart from being more handsome and honest, there was nothing else. However, his apprentice Daolin, who was eating well these days, looked like a girl. He smiled like a child, and all the little girls in the village liked to play with him.
If you don't teach this kind of disciple, why don't you teach it to a stranger? Who would believe it?
However, how can he understand Wuchen's suffering? As a monk, you really have nothing. You want to eat meat and drink alcohol. What should you do?
"Hey, we were indeed eating, drinking and chatting in a rich family's house. At that time, the poor man just thought that the kang was good, so he went over to take a look out of curiosity. Later, when he was leaving the city, a poor family's child was sick, so he went over to check on it. After taking a look, I found that the weather was cold and they were suffering from cold, so I brought up this idea to them. They didn't understand it at the time, and the man of that family also wanted to slander him, saying that the firewood at home was not enough to burn. If we get a kang, won’t everyone have to starve to death or freeze to death?”
Wuchenzi realized that Ye Wenzhang had listened, and continued, "But they don't know that the stove can reduce the amount of firewood in half, and the kang can be used together with the stove. They don't study, and they don't care about things. , don’t understand the mystery.”
"What's the secret?" Ye Wenwen was also curious. You asked people to burn more firewood for no reason. For a big family, in addition to cooking, firewood has to be sold. Who would believe you?
"Brother, it's actually very simple. These people don't want to think too much." Wuchenzi actually didn't know, but Ye Tan knew it, so he continued to brag, "When it comes to cooking, it just changes from cold to cold."
The hot ones are cooked last, right?”
"Yes." Ye Wenwen said with admiration.
"So, how do you make the rice hot?" Wuchenzi continued to ask the question.
"Let's burn firewood." Ye Wenwen continued.
"Then do you think the rice will cook more easily if you put it in the stove, or if you put it on the ground and just set up a shelf to cook the rice, it will cook more easily?"
"Of course it's easier in the stove. The stove has to be closed with all the fire."
"Brother, that's right. The stove that Pindao was looking at was like this. After it was made, the fire would directly cook the food and could not be touched anywhere else. Isn't it amazing?"
"Real or fake?" Ye Wenzhang was confused. Does this look real?
"Let's try it tomorrow and we'll find out. Just find two big pots and burn them with firewood, and we'll find out." After Wuchenzi finished speaking, he fell asleep in a daze.
Ye Wenzhang did not fall asleep. A word flashed in his mind, is it really okay?
The next day, at dawn, Ye Wenwen woke up Wuchenzi and talked about the stove and the kang. As a result, Wuchenzi felt uncomfortable, so he told him to ask my apprentice.
As a result, Ye Tan was pulled out of his home.
Originally, he was the one who made these things happen, so he is very familiar with them.
We started working on it at Ye Wenwen's house. Because there were masons in the village, the kang and earthen stove were completed in the morning and started to dry at noon.
In the afternoon, Wuchenzi got up, took a sip of cold water, came over and started pointing and telling everyone what to do.
When the water came up, Ye Tan asked someone to separate the stove from the kang, because it took time for the kang to dry.
Two big iron pots and two big bundles of firewood. People from the village came because Wuchen asked for them.
Everyone stood there quietly, looking at the pot.
Although I don’t understand what I’m doing, Wu Chenzi says there’s something going on, and it means there’s something going on.
At the beginning, Ye Wenwen didn't care, but when half of the grass was gone, one pot was boiled and the other pot was still not boiled. His expression suddenly changed and he pushed it away.
The woman who was lighting the fire opened the lid of the pot and asked doubtfully, "Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, keep trying today." After Wuchenzi said that, he turned and left Ye Wenwen's house. Everyone hugged Ye Tan and asked what was going on.
Ye Tan naturally said it, so he repeated what he had said to Wuchen before, and then everyone dispersed and ran to surround the pot, because if it was true, then the people in the village could use their spare time.
took the firewood and sold it.
The climax of the matter came on the third day, because the kang at Ye Wenwen's house dried up.
At that time, Ye Tan was studying in the school. As a result, he heard bursts of cheers coming from outside. No one listened to what Old Master Liang said. Everyone looked outside, so Old Master Liang stopped going to class and brought
Everyone, come and take a look.
When I asked, it turned out that Ye Wenwen's house was on fire and he had to go put out the fire quickly.
After I went there, I found out that it was about Kang.
After Mr. Liang went up, he came down, turned around and went home.
But at this moment, Ye Wenzhang said to the bricklayers in the village, take your time and don't rush, the weather is very hot now.
However, the matter was so straightforward, he was stabbed to the next village by a child.
As a result, the earthen stove and kang in Ye Wenwen's home could not be saved, and many people began to ask what happened.
In the boring countryside, sometimes the gossip just flies to the sky.
At this time, the decoration team of Yejia Village was established. The leader was Ye Ji. He stopped going to the market and started doing these tasks.
However, they are just addicted to food, and there is no money to be made. But for people in the countryside, if they can not eat from their own homes during the slack time, they can make money.
The turn of events came from a servant of a wealthy family, and Yejia Village suddenly became famous in Jiulipu.
This servant is a servant of a wealthy family in Songzhou. Because there is an uncle in the family who works as a housekeeper in this wealthy family, and the life is smooth, he also went with him. This time he went home to get married. He heard about Ten Miles and Eight Villages.
People spread this story, and they couldn't help but get upset because his family just had a child. As a result, the child's mother was cold and couldn't do well no matter how much medicine she took. If this is true, it's definitely a good thing.
He went to Yejiacun on the second day after his wedding. When he saw the results, he immediately thought it was good and wanted the decoration team of Yejiacun to go there.
However, it takes one day to go from Yejiacun to Songzhou City by horseback, and more than two days if you take a car. No one knows how much money they can give, so no one is willing to go.
The servant is also a man and said that if I don’t make any money by then, I will give you my money, okay?
Ye Wenwen couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Wu Chenzi. Wu Chenzi pointed at Ye Tan and said, "Just let him go."
Because Wuchenzi hasn't been feeling well recently, Ye Tan won't let him drink anymore. He's feeling uncomfortable and started to take revenge. It's not going well all the way. Let's see what he does.
However, Ye Tan happened to have a plan, that is, if the road could be built, it would be great. It would be so comfortable to go from Yejiacun to Songzhou City. You can go back and forth at any time. However, you also know that it will not be possible for the time being.
