The day after Shanci arrived at Taoyaju, ten outer disciples selected by Hongtao from Baiyun Temple also arrived at Taoyaju carrying their baggage.
The so-called outer disciples are the disciples of Xiangge who have become disciples of Xiangge, but they have no masters and are responsible for all the work in the cabinet.
You can learn the basic skills on your own, and when you reach a certain level and level, you can be promoted to an inner disciple, and then you can officially become a disciple. It can be said that an outer disciple is the most suitable for the current Tao Yaju.
At the moment, in order to welcome the outer disciples, Hongtao deliberately did not go to Tongyuan, but waited at home.
Although the ten people all knew their little master before, it was their first time to come to Taoyaju. Naturally, after seeing the true appearance of the legendary Taoyaju, they were all shocked and speechless.
His face was flushed with excitement, as if he had found a treasure.
In order to prevent them from being unable to bear the gap and running away in the future, Hongtao confessed honestly when a group of people were excited.
"I chose you mainly because this courtyard is currently short of people. After all, people are needed for sweeping, cooking, washing, chopping wood, and driving carriages. So from now on, the work in the outer courtyard will be yours, do you understand?"
The disciples were all specially selected by Hong Tao to be honest and hard-working, so they were all simple-minded.
Anyway, you did menial work in Baiyun Temple, and you do the same work here. The difference is that this is a fairy residence.
For them, it was a blessing to be able to reach the Immortal Mansion from Baiyun Temple, so what's wrong?! Everyone was very happy.
Hong Tao then brought the outer disciples to the reverse room, pointing to two of the rooms, "This is where you will live from now on. In addition, I will give you two yuan per month."
Not only can you live in the Immortal Mansion, but you can also get two yuan of money?! The disciples were immediately excited and clenched their fists and secretly cheered. This is twice as much as before.
Hong Tao then led the disciples to the backyard. The places where they chopped firewood, cooked, fetched water and washed clothes were all in the backyard. After all the work that everyone had to do was arranged, she finally said:
"Although you are mainly here to do work, you are still considered to be my outer disciples, so in addition to completing the tasks assigned to you every day, you must also practice on your own."
She took out a stack of basic exercises practiced by the outer sect disciples, asked everyone to take two copies, and then said:
"If you can achieve enlightenment on your own, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to inner sect disciples in the future. Not only will you no longer have to do menial work, but you will also be able to increase your monthly salary. More importantly, you will be able to practice the inner sect's mental methods."
When they heard that they could still practice, the disciples endured the excitement all the way, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the courtyard burst into cheers.
They have all heard or seen the young master's abilities, especially when he took care of Yuan Lu for Baiyun Temple, and he became a god-like existence in their hearts.
What's more, the matter of cultivation, which countless people have dreamed of, has now unexpectedly happened to them. How can they not be excited?
A disciple asked curiously: "Pavilion Master, can we be considered practitioners from now on? What is the difference between Xiangge and Shange?"
They are all in their teens. After Shange appeared before, they had the idea of going to Shange to register next spring equinox.
Hong Tao nodded and said: "That's a good question. Xiangge and Shange are naturally different. Xiangge is about practicing physiognomy, and you have been exposed to this physiognomy to a greater or lesser extent before.
Shan Pavilion is mainly about practicing physical skills. Except for the mental training of outer physical skills, which are the same, everything else is different. They cannot be confused."
After saying this, a group of outer sect disciples realized why they had two books of cultivation techniques in their hands. One was for physical training, and the other was for physical training.
"Okay, that's all that needs to be said. You should work hard and practice diligently in the future, and strive to understand the skills as soon as possible and be promoted to an inner disciple."
The disciples all responded, watching Hong Tao leave, and then gathered around, excitedly reading through the books and discussing the exercises.
Hongtao came to the study room in the inner courtyard and found Qingyu.
Qingyu was crouching at the desk writing a recruitment notice for the condiment shop. When she heard footsteps, she stopped writing and said hello to Hong Tao.
Hongtao pulled up a round stool and sat down next to Qingyu, then took a pen from the pen holder and wrote with Qingyu.
"I plan to go to Renya's place in the afternoon to look for some girls from the inner courtyard. How about that?"
Qingyu nodded slightly, "Okay, the penthouse is still available."
Hong Tao patiently finished writing a piece of paper, then put down her pen and said, "I don't like doing this kind of work, so it's better for you to write it."
Qingyu shook her head and smiled. Second senior sister never liked writing, "Well, leave it alone, I'll do it."
Hongtao was lying on the edge of the table, looking at Qingyu with calm eyes and vigorous strokes in her hands. Even for such a simple thing as writing, her head junior sister was extremely serious.
"Junior sister, head..." Hong Tao casually flipped through the recruitment notice he had written on his hand.
"Um?"
"I looked at the stars last night and saw signs of war. A lot of people will die."
Qingyu was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "The war is inevitable. The good thing is, it is not inevitable."
Hong Tao sighed softly, and seeing that it was almost noon, she stood up and said, "I'm going to see what those guys are going to make for lunch."
...
In the afternoon, Hongtao found a man and selected five suitable little girls from that man. They were all thirteen or fourteen years old. They were also brought back to Taoyaju and accepted as the outer disciples of Xiangge.
In this way, all the work inside and outside has been done by someone, and finally there is no need to do everything personally. Hong Tao is very satisfied.
After it got dark, Shi'an and Shanci returned home after being out for the day.
Shi'an came to Qingyu with a contract and handed it over to Qingyu. It was a contract between Juxianzhai Seasoning Factory and Yinzhou Pottery Factory.
He explained: "We ordered two thousand jars and five thousand jars. But the quantity is too large. Even if it is expedited, it will take at least a month to deliver them all."
Qingyu nodded: "Don't worry, Xu Lan said that it is best to prepare seasonings in winter so that they can be preserved longer. This time is suitable."
She took the contract into Xuannv Hall, and then asked: "Shan Ci is following you, but are you still obedient?"
Shi'an smiled and nodded: "That child is a sensible person. As long as you teach him, he will understand."
Qingyu hummed, "That's good."
...
In the evening, at the dinner table, the family chatted while eating.
Hongtao introduced the fifteen new outer disciples, Shi'an talked about the preparations for the seasoning ground, and Ye Qiu reported on the income of the Juxian Zhai that day. As Qingyu expected, compared with the opening day,
After a while, it is now basically stable.
Finally, Qingyu waited for everyone to finish talking before talking about her next plan: "I plan to buy another thousand acres of land in the near future."
