Chapter 119: The leek patch and the brand new sickle in Chang'an City
"Starting from tomorrow, Liquanfang will officially challenge you, Jinchangfang."
Di Renjie gave a formal intervention ceremony to Yunchu, which was very formal, indicating that every word this guy said at this time was true. He was really challenging Yunchu, and he also wanted to win!
"You can't win. There's no hope of winning."
"Didn't you say that if you do it, the difficult things will become easy; if you don't do it, the easy things will also become difficult."
"Now, the people of Jinchangfang are not afraid of me, but respect and love me, so they are willing to listen to me."
"It's different. My classic is Han Fei..."
Hearing what Di Renjie said, Yun Chu immediately shut up. It was impossible to expect a person who devoted himself to learning the legalist method of governing the people to be kind. This kind of person has a steelyard in his heart, and this steelyard is the law.
Nothing else.
"Starting from tomorrow, Liquanfang will undergo an extremely thorough cleaning. No dead ends will be allowed, including the people and animals of Liquanfang."
"You want to build a bathhouse?"
"No, they have to boil their own water and clean themselves up."
"You still want to prepare clothes for them?"
"No, this is something they have to do. I don't want everyone in Liquanfang to wear the coat of Deshenglong."
There was nothing more to say. Seeing that Di Renjie was very busy, Yun Chu rode his bay-red horse home.
When passing by Guangfufang, I went to the cake shop opened by the young couple. To be honest, Yun Chu really wanted to invite them to open a shop in Jinchangfang.
In a huge city, having a small shop of your own allows you to live a life without worries about food and clothing. This is a happy life.
Coupled with the fact that I have a beautiful wife, my life is actually quite fulfilling.
When Yun first arrived at Guangfufang, the young man was still very energetic. He had big eyes, a big mouth, a high nose, and a square face that was typical of Guanzhong people.
This time when he saw Yun Chu arriving, he was not so panicked. After this period of dealing with her, he knew that Yun Chu still despised his wife.
"A biscuit filled with meat costs five yuan. In this shitty world, all the money I earned in the past is in vain.
I originally wanted to demolish the old house and build a new one, but now it's all over. The five dollars I prepared are useless now, and I have to work hard for another three years."
Yun Chu took the pancake and couldn't help but sigh: "The pancake is too small and there is less meat."
The young man spread his hands helplessly and said: "There is nothing we can do. Many customers have also complained. Now I would rather accept food in exchange than collect money."
Of course, two small pancakes were not enough to eat, so Yun Chu paid for four more. Naha now had a big appetite and could eat four meat buns at one time.
Yun Chu stretched his neck and looked around. When he didn't see his little wife, he asked, "Where is your wife?"
The young man sighed and said, "I took on some embroidery work and am doing embroidery at home. I can't support my family just by relying on this small shop."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "It will get better."
The young man didn't know where his bad temper came from. He chopped the knife heavily on the chopping board and said, "We only have good thoughts left in our lives now."
Yunchu didn't know how to comfort this unfortunate young man. If he had built a house in the morning, the price of his house would have increased a lot, more than doubled or tripled.
After returning home, he gave Naha three cakes with meat. When the child got the cake and meat, he ran away with Da Fei. Yunchu stuffed the remaining cake with meat to Cui and said, "Try it.
It tastes pretty good.”
Ms. Cui took the cake and said with a smile: "Mr. Lang is in a bad mood?"
"How did you tell?"
"When Lang Jun is in a good mood, he will go to Guangfufang to buy Hu biscuits with meat and come back. When Lang Jun is in a bad mood, he will also buy Hu biscuits with meat and come back. Tell me, what is different about that Hu biscuit shop from others?
?"
Of course, Yun Chu would not tell him that the couple in the cake shop were most like people of his time. He waved his hands casually and said: "People always have to cultivate some hobbies for themselves, otherwise they will be too boring to be alone.
"
"When young men from other families are at Langjun's age, they are just wandering around and doing random things, but you are like an older person, worrying about the whole world.
You have also seen that money coined privately is money, and those wealthy families have no intention of fishing all the land. The price of food has dropped a bit recently, and I estimate that it will remain at fifteen cents per dou.
These days, because money is not valuable, people are making more money, so it is appropriate for the price of rice to rise.
So, Lang Jun, don’t think about these things anymore. Thinking too much will hurt your nerves. When our family becomes a wealthy family, someone will come to ask Lang Jun what he thinks. At that time, Lang Jun will
It’s never too late to show off your power.”
Yun Chu nodded and had to admit that Cui's words were the truth, and trying to change anything when you have no ability is just a delusion.
I'm afraid that when I have the ability to change something, I don't want to change it.
The heart of a young person is the most cherished in the world, because it is transparent, clean, pure, and fearless. If you want to do something, this is the best time, because everything you do at this time will succeed or not.
, the starting point is always the best.
Yunchu even believed that there was no need for people to live beyond the age of forty, because people after that age were mature, philistine, and sophisticated like a piece of old bacon. They could taste a little bit of it when eaten raw or cooked in soup, and they seemed to be alive.
, in fact, he has died a long time ago. He is just waiting for time to put a mature label on him, and then he can be put into a coffin and sealed forever.
"I must live to be a thousand years old!" Naha solemnly declared to Yunchu while hugging the fat lynx.
"Brother will also live to be a thousand years old!" Naha then declared.
"Aunt Cui will also live to be a thousand years old!"
"Grandpa Monkey will also live to be a thousand years old!"
Naha feels that her current life is infinitely beautiful, and she feels that anyone she knows should live to be a thousand years old, although it is difficult for her to count to a hundred now.
"Yes, yes, our little Naha is a Buddhist girl. She said that the old woman can live to be a thousand years old, so the old woman will definitely live to be a thousand years old."
In front of Naha, Ms. Cui has long lost her sense of right and wrong. As long as what this child says, she thinks it is true. Even if it is false, she will think it is true. She has no moral integrity at all.
The old monkey would basically not have any objections to Naha's words. He believed that as long as a child has kindness from the bottom of his heart, the rest of his shortcomings are just trivial things that are not worth mentioning.
During this period of time, Naha was actually often hungry. Her originally plump chin had now become a bit pointed, and her previously plump belly now didn't feel fleshy to the touch.
No matter how much food she takes out from home, she will always be the one who eats the least because she feels that everyone around her is hungrier than she is.
Fortunately, Mrs. Cui discovered early that the child often couldn't sleep because of hunger, so she had to make her a bowl of sugar-watered eggs every night, so that the child did not lose weight.
Ever since Xuanzang learned about this from the old monkey, he publicized Naha's behavior during his lectures, saying that the Buddha nature in others needs practice to appear, and only Naha's Buddha nature cannot be revealed.
Cultivation of self-view.
Yun Chu looked at Naha chewing chicken drumsticks and wondered where Naha's Buddha nature was. This child would only show his true nature when chewing on the salt-baked chicken drumsticks made by Yunchu. Not to mention protecting food.
He also bites people, even lynxes.
The darkness in an adult's heart can easily be dispelled by the sunshine on Naha's body. Therefore, in the Yun family, a large family often surrounds Naha and watches her feasting alone.
Spring arrived silently in the Yun family. It wasn't the willow trees outside the yard that sprouted, but Naha found a clump of green grass in a sunny corner, pulled it out and put it on her brother's desk for him to see.
"Brother, the grass is green, it's time to herd the sheep."
One sentence made Yun Chu burst into tears. When he lived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, as long as the grass was green, Naha would pull out a handful of grass and put it into his hand, and then the brother and sister would drive the sheep to the edge of Grasshopper Lake.
Watch the wild geese return.
There have never been wild geese willing to fly over Chang'an. There are many, many annoying hunters here who like to shoot down the wild geese with hard bows and eat them as prey, or give them as gifts to teachers, or use the carcasses of wild geese to please themselves.
's daughter-in-law.
“We don’t have beard sheep in our family.” Naha still remembered the Lantern Festival riddle about beards.
"Then go buy a bearded sheep."
"Buy two!"
"Then buy two!"
Then, Yunchu and Naha rode their bay-red horses to the mule and horse market, where there were enough sheep for Naha to choose from.
The younger brothers of Yaoniang watched with envy as Naha huddled in her brother's arms and sat on the back of a tall maroon horse. Naha looked like a general, with a smile on her face.
Along the way, the brother and sister were very interested in talking about what kind of sheep were good and what kind of sheep were worth buying.
While passing through Feng'anfang, Yunchu suddenly heard a familiar roar: "I don't care how you lived your life before. From today on, you must start to listen to me. I want you to go east. You
You can only go east. If you want to fight the dog, you can't chase the chicken.
It's your luck that a good imperial student will work in this shabby market like yours..."
Yun Chu followed the sound and saw a scholar in Tsing Yi standing on a high platform, lecturing to a group of people below.
The formation was very similar to the one Di Renjie had set up that day. Outside the crowd, there was a group of Tai students carrying sticks waiting in full formation.
Yun Chu's head buzzed for a moment. He thought that only Di Renjie was interested in the extremely challenging position of mayor of Fangshizi. Unexpectedly, there were smart people who also saw the practicality of the position of mayor.
They have regarded Chang'anfang City as a testing ground before becoming an official, because in this way, as long as you can achieve some results, it will be more useful than submitting 800 application papers.
I have made a very bad start. I believe that it won’t take long for the mayor of Chang’an to be completely invaded by the imperial students and supervisors.
