Chapter 1697 Second brother, this is the residence of the master
That day.
It is still a snowy day, with a cold wind howling and heavy snow filling Chaoge City.
Regardless of the cold, Jiang Shang came to his sworn brother Song Yiren's house early in the morning to wait for today's delivery.
He used his magic power to keep out the cold and struggled to hold on.
I thought bitterly in my heart, "I, Jiang Shang, am probably the most aggrieved and depressed ascetic in the world."
Afraid of my wife.
There is no way to make money.
This is probably the most depressing thing for a man.
Jiang Shang thought, "At least that's the case for me."
If you can't cultivate Taoism, you can't do business either.
Even feeding a family is difficult.
In this era, cultivation in the Yuanshen realm is nothing at all.
You may encounter them all over Chaoge City if you take the wrong path, and you won't be able to see just the Yuanshen cultivators.
Coupled with the fact that Jie Jiao entered business, no one paid attention to the Yuxu Palace of Chan Jiao, and it was not famous at all.
Even if there is a brand name of Katamaxugong, others will not know it and may even think it is fake.
In order not to embarrass Tianzun, Jiang Shang decided to fend for himself.
then.
Early in the morning, Mr. Ma kicked him out of bed and brought him to Song Yiren's place.
He also warned everyone to listen to Song Yiren and not to have any self-conceptions.
No, Jiang Shang is here.
Just came a little early.
When he arrived, the servants of the Song family had not yet gotten up. After an hour or two of cold weather, the servants got up and discovered him.
By the time his sworn brother Song Yiren got up, it was already dawn.
"Second brother, why are you here so early?"
Song Yiren was a little confused. This sworn brother must have arrived too early.
He quickly waved his hands and said, "Actually, there is no need to be in such a hurry, the door of the Master's Mansion has not even been opened at this point."
"Brother, I couldn't sleep at night yesterday. I felt that my brother had sacrificed so much for me, but I couldn't repay him in return."
Jiang Shang was deeply moved and said sadly: "Therefore, I have come here early to ask for some experience from my brother. I hope that my brother will not hesitate to teach me."
Yes, this second brother is quite diligent.
Song Yiren felt that if he didn't help him, he would be sorry for him coming here so early in the morning.
Think about this.
While Song Yiren asked his servants to prepare the goods, he said to Jiang Shang: "Second brother, the place where we are going to deliver the goods this time is the residence of a tall man.
Please remember one thing: don’t look too much, don’t ask too much, and don’t say too much, just do things honestly.
You will be responsible for the handover of this trip."
Jiang Shang: "..."
He thought to himself: "Brother, what you have is not just a little, this is a lot better.
Do I, Jiang Shang, look like the kind of person who can’t understand words?”
I am also sensible.
In fact, Jiang Shang really wanted to tell Song Yiren that he actually didn't want to cause trouble.
The main reason is that the personality is not suitable.
The ideas are different.
Or you have been out of touch with the world for too long, and it is difficult to integrate into it for a while.
"Brother, I'm afraid this expert in Chaoge City is not simple, right?"
Jiang Shang asked with a deep look: "How did you get on the line? No wonder your business is good, brother."
He finally understood.
This sworn brother probably met a certain big shot who lived in seclusion in Chaoge City by chance, and then started to get in touch with him.
Under his care, business will naturally be easy to do.
Getting better and better.
Hear the words.
Song Yiren's face was stern, "Second brother, don't ask any more questions. You can't talk about the affairs of an expert. It's a great opportunity to get to know such a person. How can you arrange things behind your back?"
From now on, such words will not be allowed, let alone spoken.
Understand?"
"ah?"
Jiang Shang was shocked, is this even possible?
Although he was a little surprised, he still nodded and said, "Brother is right. There are countless masters in this world. All we can do is be ourselves."
Talking about superior people is a dead end.
Jiang Shang still understands this truth. After all, Taoism is not cultivated in vain.
"Well, second brother, if you realize your mistakes, you can improve a lot."
Song Yiren smiled and said: "Okay, just prepare yourself. Next we are going to deliver the goods to the master."
This time, he personally led the team, mainly keeping an eye on Jiang Shang.
I'm afraid this guy will talk nonsense.
It would be bad if you offend an expert.
Not only will your business be cut off, but your life may also be at risk.
"good."
Jiang Shang nodded in agreement.
There is nothing he can do if he doesn't agree. His family is almost in trouble.
It was not an option to always rely on Song Yiren's help. A few days ago, he took the initiative to refuse his sworn brother's help.
Want to be self-reliant.
Facts prove.
Jiang Shang's idea is very good, but it is very difficult to be self-reliant.
It's rare that he doesn't know what to do.
This time, I'm going to deliver goods to the master's door.
In Jiang Shang's view, this is his opportunity. As long as he can successfully hand over the job and is familiar with the business, he will definitely be able to handle the business for his sworn brother.
You can also make some hard-earned money in the future.
He won't be reduced to making a living by selling straw mats.
After all, he is also a disciple of Tianzun.
Under the goods, people have already prepared them, including seafood such as fish and shrimp, some vegetables, and some rare flowers and plants.
Except.
There is also some meat from wild game and exotic animals.
All are extremely fresh.
"Brother, do you want so many things?"
I saw people pushing carts one by one. If I looked carefully, there were three or four carts.
"That's just a day's supply."
Song Yiren said calmly: "Like this, I will send it to the master once a day, four cars each time, all these years, and the master never bargains."
"so good?"
To be honest, Jiang Shang was actually envious.
Such an expert is the real expert.
Once you have a small four-wheeler, your appetite will be huge.
Of course, Jiang Shang could only complain about such thoughts in his heart.
Don't dare to reveal it.
"Don't think there's anything wrong with it."
Song Yiren continued to introduce, "Second brother, don't ask, don't say, and don't read anything about the master. Just do these three things.
It is not easy for us poor people to earn some money and survive by following the masters.
Especially in this era, it is simply too difficult to survive without some special skills.
You must have a deep understanding of this.
Therefore, the line of masters cannot be cut off, it is our lifeblood."
Ever since he started delivering goods to the master every day, Song Yiren knew that he could not cheat in front of the master.
You can't make irresponsible remarks either.
At the same time, we must try to ensure the freshness of various ingredients and goods.
This is used to earn the favor of the master. Once the master values him, he can also trade some elixirs.
Then you will make a lot of money.
But after so many years, even Song Yiren only had three such opportunities.
But it also made him extremely happy.
At least, I can live a good life.
Many elixirs have the effect of prolonging life. Once I swallowed one elixir, my life was determined by my will from then on.
Song Yiren also wanted to do this.
"What the elder brother said is absolutely true."
Jiang Shang also nodded in recognition, "Generally speaking, experts have some quirks, but in normal times, they don't blame others.
The prerequisite is to behave and do things properly."
Hear the words.
Song Yiren only felt his eyes light up, "Second brother, you are very intelligent. It seems that these years of practicing Taoism have made you even more enlightened."
Jiang Shang: "..."
These words made Jiang Shang dumbfounded.
Could it be that before I started cultivating Taoism, my brain was not bright?
Brother-in-law, you are so contemptuous.
He clearly looked down upon him, Jiang Shang.
He originally wanted to retort, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them.
I am indeed a bit too good at it.
No wonder others.
I can only blame myself for being too weak.
Although this is quite hurtful, it is the truth.
So helpless.
After you are ready.
Song Yiren took his servants and started on the road.
Although there was heavy rain and snow, even though the cold wind was biting.
But except Jiang Shang, no one felt cold.
One thing is whether the clothes are thick or not cold.
Second, if you have money, you will not feel cold.
Jiang Shang didn't take advantage of either, so naturally he felt the coldness was biting to the bone, and had to use magic power to protect his body.
Nourish the whole body.
Not too cold.
"Second brother, remember not to do anything."
Before reaching the destination, Song Yiren warned again, "This is your first time here, so you should learn more about how to do it."
"yes."
Facing his adopted brother's advice, Jiang Shang felt a little ashamed. It was really difficult for him to need his adopted brother's help and support.
But there is no other way.
Who makes himself worse?
Such days are too painful and helpless.
However, there is a turning point now.
perhaps……
While I was thinking about it, I heard my step-brother say that he had arrived.
He quickly said: "Second brother, we are already here, remember to pay attention to your words and deeds.
You can’t screw up this business and this way for me.”
He finally got on the line.
If you, Jiang Shang, cheat for him, his business will be cut off and his financial resources will be exhausted.
Then Song Yiren can also curse.
Absolutely not that.
Now, he comes here with the attitude of giving it a try.
Just to prevent Jiang Shang from causing trouble for him.
Actually.
He never worried about Jiang Shang.
If Jiang Shang knew this, I wonder what he would think?
"ah?"
Jiang Shang was stunned and asked: "Brother, are we here yet?"
It's not that far.
That's when winter comes.
a little cold.
"Actually, it's not that far away. The reason why an expert is an expert has its own reasons. We, the humble people, can just settle down and do our own thing well."
Song Yiren warned: "Sometimes, we can't control so much, and we can't do so much.
I remember a wise man once said something like, "The wise help the world, and the poor take care of themselves." I thought to myself, aren't we the poor?
Second brother, you are not an accomplished person, you have to be poor."
Jiang Shang: "..."
After hearing this.
He couldn't help but feel depressed for a while.
Feeling extremely sad, he couldn't help complaining: "Brother, I am already poor enough, why should I be poor?"
Song Yiren: "..."
for a while.
He was a little confused and wanted to use the island to split Jiang Shang's head open and see what he had built over the years.
Could it be that practicing Taoism has made you stupid?
It looks like.
then.
Song Yiren continued to ask: "Second brother, you...do you really want to become a rich man now?"
He knew this was what Jiang Shang meant.
"That's natural. My brother has helped me many times, and I'm already embarrassed."
Jiang Shang sighed and said: "A man has his ambitions in all directions, but he should also have firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
My brother is penniless now, so he needs some wealth to live, otherwise it will be difficult to make a living.
These years of monastic life have also made him understand a truth..."
"What's the point?"
Song Yiren couldn't help but asked curiously: "Tell me carefully. It seems that you have learned something."
Jiang Shang smiled slightly, "Cultivating Taoism requires talent. Without talent, no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain."
He has already decided.
Just be a normal person from now on.
As long as you can get by.
At present.
Just find a suitable job and survive in Chaoge City with difficulty.
This is the hard truth.
Otherwise, you are really practicing stupidity.
"..."
The corner of Song Yiren's mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't comment on whether it was good or bad.
He changed the topic and said: "Second brother, this is the residence of the master. You should be careful and don't offend the master."
"Okay, big brother."
When Jiang Shang came back to his senses and looked up at the courtyard of the mansion, he was completely stunned.
