Qingyu was lighting the fire and Shi'an was cooking. Hongtao ran out and welcomed Wen Ya, who was sweating, into the kitchen, and then showed Wen Ya her today's results.
Wen Ya was washing her face while listening. During the break, she saw San Chan and Liao Chen sitting in the corner, and politely shouted "sit". San Chan and Liao Chen stood up to say goodbye, and sat down again.
After washing her hands and face, she took a ladle of cold water from the vat and drank a few sips. After the heat went away, Wen Ya talked about today's event.
"I looked at a dozen places, but they were all expensive. The rental fee was basically a dozen taels, or the place was too small. I was tired from looking at Qian Laoer all day long, so I didn't have the nerve to go to the outer circle. It should be a little cheaper there.
some."
The outer city is not small either. The common people verbally divide the area between the inner circle and the outer circle. Basically, the inner circle is the wealthy area, the outer circle is the civilian area in the outer city, and the inner city is where the government offices and official residences are located.
Qingyu said: "The outer circle is a little farther away."
"It's a bit far away, so I took advantage of the darkness today and asked Qian Laoer to find a reluctant place. It's almost at the edge of the inner and outer circles. The size of the site is quite suitable. It's five feet long and four feet wide. It's just for rent.
There are quite a lot of them, so I get ten taels."
"Judging from the housing prices around here, ten taels is not too expensive." Sanchan couldn't help but interjected.
Hong Tao suddenly asked: "Disciple, where do you live?" He was in a hurry to become a disciple in the morning and had not had time to get to know this cheap apprentice.
"Over there at Sanjianwa."
"Baiyun Temple." Lie Chen added.
Hongtao thought for a moment, "Oh, I know that place. I know Baiyun Temple. It's quite impressive. Did you buy the land and build it yourself? How much did it cost?"
"It cost nearly four hundred taels." Liao Chen added.
Sanchan couldn't stop him, so he could only smile and nod.
Hongtao laughed and said to Qingyu and the others: "Well, I have good taste, and my disciple is also rich."
Sanchan said quickly: "It's just glamorous on the outside, but the expenses inside the temple are quite large. It's barely enough to make ends meet."
"As a master, I naturally won't try to get money from you." It's enough for you to act as a doorkeeper for the master occasionally, Hong Tao thought to himself.
"Then the venue has been decided now?" Shi'an asked.
"I want to go and have a look again tomorrow, but if there's nothing more suitable, I'll decide over there."
Sanchan still didn't know what they were going to do, so he asked curiously: "What are they going to do with such an empty place?"
"Recruit apprentices and teach them martial arts." Seeing that Shi'an's dishes were about to be cooked, Hong Tao stood up and went to get the chopsticks.
Sanchan thought back to the first time he saw that a tree ten feet high could easily be climbed up, so he was not surprised. However, he was still a little surprised, "This is quite novel." Will anyone go?
Wen Ya also stood up to get the bowl, "I asked Qian Laoer about some martial arts masters around here. If I can still find time tomorrow, I will go to find out their true and false status."
"Then you have to prepare a lot of things," Liao Chen couldn't help but said. He remembered that when he and his master planned to build Baiyun Temple together, they had been busy with the repairs alone for more than half a year.
Wen Ya was also a little worried, "There won't be too many things. They are all physical training tools, but I'm afraid these things are not easy to handle." After all, the ones used by Xuanmen are different from those in the mortal world.
Qingyu smiled and said, "There is one person who should be able to do it. Jiang Mutou's apprentice has just established his own business, so the price should be cheaper than his master's."
"My family." Hong Tao was a little surprised, "Then the kid started his own business so quickly? He's only fifteen or sixteen."
"I think his craftsmanship should be pretty good. Jiang Mutou is a demanding person, so he taught him well in craftsmanship."
Several people followed and sat on the table. Wen Ya was also a little surprised, "Then I will draw the drawings tonight."
"I'll go find the child tomorrow." Shi'an said.
"I'll go too." Qingyu raised her little hand.
Hongtao stretched and said, "I still have to go out to find business. You are busy with the mountain pavilion."
...
After eating, Sanchan and Liaochen went back with lanterns.
After Qingyu and Shi'an finished cleaning up the pots and pans, they settled the accounts of the recent days under the lamp.
"When I came here, it was ninety-eight taels. The second senior sister earned one hundred and fifty taels, and the second senior brother earned two taels. This month, I spent 3 taels to rent money, 40 taels to buy land, and seven taels to live on.
, the lotus root seeds cost 8 taels, and the senior brother went out with 60 taels, and now there is a total of 1,378 taels left on hand."
Hongtao said sadly, "Ah," she said, "I have been here for more than half a year, and I still only have a hundred or so taels. When will we be able to enjoy spicy food?"
Shi'an smiled and comforted: "Compared to living on wild vegetable bark at the beginning, it's better now."
Qingyu also sighed inwardly, it was really hard to earn money anywhere:
"The sixty taels from Senior Brother are definitely not enough. Shange has to spend a sum of money. I also want to buy this house as soon as possible to avoid spreading the word over time and the house price will rise again."
Hongtao immediately clenched her fists and made up her mind, "I will go out to look for business at nine o'clock tomorrow."
Qingyu shook her head, "You don't have to work so hard. Don't worry, we will soon have a lot of money in our account."
Wen Ya sighed during a break: "I don't know what's going on with Senior Brother now, whether things are going well or not."
Everyone looked at Qingyu, but Qingyu smiled mysteriously: "Before I went out, I divined a Lei Sui divination for my senior brother. When he comes back this time, he will bring you a surprise."
Zhufeng, who was being talked about, was sitting on a pile of hay in the mountains a hundred miles away, and sneezed loudly. He pulled off his clothes again and curled up into a ball, but he still felt cold.
.
"It's so hot during the day and freezing at night, what a horrible weather." Lao Huang, who was sleeping next to him, couldn't help but curse.
Another person laughed: "God can do whatever he wants, how can he just let you go?"
"Hey, it would be nice if it rained. I'd rather be soaked in water."
"Boss Zhu, what should I do if I can't buy the medicine?" someone asked.
Zhufeng's heart skipped a beat, and the question he feared most came. He thought for a moment, "I'll buy it." Yinzhou is so big, he didn't believe that he couldn't buy tens of thousands of medicinal seeds worth several hundred kilograms.
"But we traveled all day today and asked more than a dozen households, but they all said they didn't have any, or they wanted to keep the seeds for themselves... No one had grown so many medicinal materials before, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to buy the medicinal seeds I wanted to buy.
"
They ran all day today and climbed several mountains. As a result, they only have a hundred or so plants on hand to harvest, and they need at least two thousand plants per acre. No matter how you look at it, they feel that there is little hope.
Zhufeng turned over and said, "I'll go to Wangjiawan tomorrow and have a look. They say there are a lot of pesticide farmers there, so I should be able to buy it." After all, the head junior sister had done the math for him when she went out, and the auspicious stars were shining, so there should be no problem... right?
He felt a little unsure. He really didn't expect that medicinal seeds were so hard to find. Most of the medicinal farmers in the mountains collected wild medicinal materials on the mountain. Some people only planted a few in front of their houses. There were not many medicinal seeds, so
Don't want to sell.
Although he would definitely be able to find it by searching all over Yinzhou, time did not allow and many medicinal materials had to be planted during the rainy season, so he could not find it slowly.
