My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 19

[Chapter 19 Back to the Mountain]

Jing Zhe brought Hanhan to the mutton stall.

There is a lot of hard work to do next. First, use meat to win over the people of Mangshan. Then you can feel at ease when you use them.

The most important thing is that during the few days that Jing Zhe arrived in Mangshan, he had not had any meat except porridge and vegetables. If he stopped eating meat, he would not be able to stand it.

There were more than 200 people on Mang Mountain. Jing Zhe calculated that at least ten sheep would be enough to feed them.

The mutton stall owner was horrified when he heard that the business was too big and exceeded his expectations, especially since he didn’t have that much mutton!

After some discussion, Jing Zhe bought ten live sheep from the mutton stall owner and led the sheep out of the city with the cheerful Hanhan.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, Hanhan stopped, looked at Jing Zhe and said, “Young village master, I see you haven’t practiced Kung Fu for several days. How can this be okay?”

After saying that, he took the heavy baggage on his back. After he got down, he said, “Young village leader, if you carry this baggage up the mountain, the effect will definitely be better than the rice bag before!”

I’ll carry your sister!

Jing Zhe complained in his heart, waved his hands and said: “No, I found that I have no talent for martial arts. Besides, look what you have done in martial arts? Robbing officials? Not robbed, right? Earning money? I don’t think you make much. How about I practice a hammer?”

“Hammer? No one on the mountain seems to be using this as a weapon. If the young village leader wants to practice a hammer, it’s not impossible.”

“…”

Jing looked at Hanhan’s serious look. Zhe cursed, “I think you’re just a hammer,” and ignored him, swaggering up the mountain.

…

When Hanhan led ten sheep up the mountain, the bandits who were hiding under the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness instantly became excited and swarmed around him.

“This…this is…that…”

Hanhan usually doesn’t speak very fluently. Being blocked by so many people, he couldn’t speak clearly.

Jing Zhe pushed him away and said with a smile: “I earned some money from going down the mountain today. Let’s buy ten sheep for everyone to have a try!”

“Ouch!”

Hearing that these ten sheep were all for them to eat, the bandits were even more excited. I’m so excited. After all, only during the Chinese New Year can such a grand spectacle happen on the mountain.

“Young village master, how much money do you earn?”

someone asked.

Jing Zhe smiled and waved his hands, “No more, no more. The time to go down the mountain was too short, so I only earned fifty taels!”

“Fifty taels? How is that possible?”

He said before that he would betroth the girl to Jing Zhe’s fat ball. After listening, I looked in disbelief.

“It’s fifty taels, I saw it with my own eyes! The young village leader only wrote a poem and sold it for fifty taels!”

Hanhan stood up to testify for Jing Zhe.

“Hiss!”

“Fifty taels for a poem?”

“Worse than robbery!”

Jing Zhe grinned and stopped talking.

Next, under the leadership of Hanhan, a group of people led the sheep to be slaughtered. There was to be an all-sheep feast tonight.

Jing Zhe generously left a tael of silver for Hanhan and asked him to send someone down the mountain to buy wine.

Since we have to eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of wine, what’s the point of having only meat but no wine?

When they were almost gone, the fat ball came up again.

With a flattering smile on his face, he said: “Young village master, after thinking about it again and again, I think I’d better marry my girl to you -“

“Get out!”

Jing Zhe stared angrily, thinking how could this guy repay a favor with a grudge?

“Oh~”

Fatty Ball turned back three times with each step, very reluctant to give up.

…

Jing Zhe returned to his room and asked Hanhan to leave his luggage. He also found several porcelain jars of different sizes for him and locked himself in the room.

Jing Zhe’s next plan is to make ice.

This was thanks to the inspiration given to him by the guy selling watermelons.

The guy claimed that all his watermelons were chilled, but in fact, the watermelons had been left in the cellar at best, which was far from being truly chilled.

It’s so awesome even if it’s placed in a cellar. If he can create real ice in the dog days of summer, the business opportunities are endless!

The method used was naturally saltpeter to make ice. Jing Zhe had read it many times while reading novels in his previous life, so the operation was familiar to him.

First, I picked two porcelain jars of suitable size, put the smaller jar into the larger jar, and added water to it.

Then he opened the bag, put the saltpeter into the interlayer between the big vat and the small vat, and then found a lid to cover it.

Making ice takes time. After doing all this, Jing Zhe lay on the bed and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long I slept for, but Jing Zhe woke up when there was a knock on the door.

Rubbing his eyes, he opened the door and found that the person knocking on the door was Hanhan, followed by Lu Li.

After not seeing her for a day, Jing Zhe felt strange when he saw her and felt a little familiar.

She must be beautiful, it’s just a man’s instinct.

After entering the house, Lu Li walked a few steps, then looked at him and asked, “I heard that Dahan said you earned fifty taels of silver in the city?”

“Ang.”

“How did you earn it?”

After Lu Li asked, The Hanhan behind her began to wink at Jing Zhe, as if he wanted to convey some important message.

But Jing Zhe turned a blind eye and said carelessly: “I went to Chun Shui Tower last night and wrote a poem. The madam there gave it to me.”

“Did you go to Chun Shui Tower?”

Lu Li squinted his eyes and looked unhappy.

“Oh, I went. I passed Chun Shui Tower yesterday. Hanhan said he had never been there before and dragged me in. I wasn’t as strong as him, and I was afraid that he would do bad things if he went into the building alone, so I followed him in.”

Jing Zhe patted Hanhan, who was stunned, and said with a smile, “But thanks to Hanhan, if I hadn’t entered Chunshui Tower, I wouldn’t have been able to earn these fifty taels of silver anyway!”

“Zhao Zhu, I didn’t!”

Reaction The Hanhan who came over was shocked and angry, scratching his neck to tell the difference.

Lu Li glanced at him and said softly: “Get out.”

“Master of the village -“

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lu Li glared at him fiercely. He could only swallow the rest of the words and left in anger.

Perhaps knowing that the honest Hanhan must have been wronged, Lu Li did not continue to struggle with this matter, looked at him and asked: “What, you plan to make us live a good life by selling poems? If you leave “Who writes poems for us to sell?”

“Of course not!” Jing Zhe

shook

his head and smiled mysteriously: “Do you think there is anything unique about my room?

“

She muttered something, thinking that she had chosen this room in the first place. Apart from being cleaner, there was nothing unique about it?

Wait…

that’s not right!

She looked around and then asked curiously: “Why is it so much cooler here than outside?”
