My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 7

[Chapter 7 Entering the City]

” Young Village Master, are you okay?”

“Young Village Master, are you almost ready?”

“Young Village Master, if you don’t leave, the sun will come out!”

Hanhan stood in the room, staring at the man sitting in the house. Jing Zhe, who was gesturing in front of the bronze mirror, had question marks all over his head.

What Jing Zhe was most satisfied with about the body he had traveled through time was its appearance. It would have been a perfect little piece of meat for his time. Even here, whoever saw him would have to ask, “Who is this?” A handsome young man from a handsome family”?

Of course, except for these rough guys on Mang Mountain.

She is already ugly and has no vision to appreciate beauty. For example, she is standing on the door frame with a look of lovelessness on her face.

“Are you envious of my looks?”

“I’m not.”

“Tch, you must be jealous because I’m good-looking, right?”

“I’m not.”

“What are you afraid of? Just tell me if you are! Anyway, I— “You will be laughed at whether you say it or not. Why don’t you say it so that I can laugh more openly?”

“…”

Hanhan was silent, maybe thinking about how Jing Zhe, a scholar, was thicker-skinned than him.

Jing Zhe has never really walked around in a city since he traveled through time. This is his first time, so he naturally has to pay attention to it.

It is also necessary to take care of yourself. This is called a sense of ritual.

He used water to push back his messy long hair at the temples, then stood up from the bronze mirror with satisfaction, pointed in front of him and asked: “Hanhan, you must rarely look in the mirror, right?”

Hanhan’s big face White and rosy, the answer is self-evident.

“Look, you must be disgusted with your appearance and don’t even dare to look in the mirror. You are envious when you see me looking in the mirror, right?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Hanhan said dissatisfied: “Why are grown men looking at themselves in the mirror? Really? If a man has the strength, he might as well do more work!”

Jing Zhe glanced at him and said, “This must be what those ugly people said, right?”

Hanhan shook his head and held his chest high, with a look of pride on his face.

“This is what the village leader said!”

“…”

Lu Li is really smart. He knows that these guys are ugly and looking in the mirror will only affect their mood, so saying this will make them work more in the fields and increase their income. harvest.

So awesome, Jing Zhe sighed to himself!

He stopped talking nonsense with Hanhan, ate a bowl of porridge, and headed down the mountain in the gentle breeze and morning dew.

…

Mangshan is adjacent to Yongzhou, more than ten miles away. They didn’t even need to ride a horse. It only took half an hour for the two of them to enter the city.

Yongzhou is not big. There are not even a hundred but eighty small towns of this size in the entire Anguo territory. Compared with the prosperous capital city like Jingzhou, it is not even a bit worse.

But this did not affect Jing Zhe’s cheerful mood at all.

Although Yongzhou is small, the streets are wide and full of people. There are vendors on both sides of the road, and the sound of hawking along the street is endless.

After entering the city, Jing Zhe was like a wild horse running wild, looking here, asking around, and even encouraging Hanhan to buy some new things when he saw them.

How dare you agree?

Pulling him aside, he asked in a low voice: “Young village leader, aren’t you here to make money? Why are you spending the money before you earn it?”

“Only those who know how to spend money will make money, do you understand?”

Hanhan Shaking his head, “I don’t understand, and I don’t have any money.”

“No money? You’re a liar!”

Jing Zhe was very dissatisfied with Hanhan’s attitude and asked: “Before we went down the mountain, my sister gave you money and pretended that I didn’t see it? Why, Do you still want to keep it all to yourself?”

“I didn’t.”

Honest Ru Hanhan lost his temper when he heard that Jing Zhe said that he kept the money to himself, “The village owner gave me the money, but she told me that this money is for me. “It’s for food and accommodation in the city!”

That means obviously, you can get money from him for food and accommodation, but as for buying some random things, sorry, no.

“Then how much did the eldest sister give in total?”

“One tael.”

“Only one tael?”

Jing Zhe shouted, “Isn’t this too stingy?”

“It’s a lot. There has been no income on the mountain for several months. I was going to rob the dog officer a few days ago, but he took a detour into the city. I’m afraid he won’t be able to rob him anymore, and the village leader doesn’t have much money left.”

“Okay,”

Hanhan told the truth. The living expenses of more than 200 people on the mountain are only four or five taels a month. Lu Li is generous by giving them one tael. If you want to make money, you have to rely on yourself!

Jing Zhe walked forward, no longer thinking about shopping and having fun, and thinking about what to do next.

In fact, he can think of many ways to make money.

Such as spirits.

According to Jing Zhe’s understanding, most of the wines in this era were turbid wines. Even the spirits that other nomadic neighboring countries paid tribute to the imperial court were only about 30 degrees, which was far behind the real spirits with over 50 or 60 degrees. .

The method of making spirits is not difficult. Just make good utensils and use turbid liquor for distillation.

Moreover, the high-concentration spirits produced through distillation can not only be sold at a good price, but can also be used to process other products, such as flavors and toilet water.

The method is not difficult. Jing Zhe had read it in a book. He just added various petals and used alcohol to extract the volatile oil.

These things are simple to say, but the main reason why Jing Zhe doesn’t use them is because of money.

No matter which dynasty you are in, wine is not cheap.

After all, food is limited, and brewing wine requires a lot of food and time, so it’s surprising that it’s cheap.

Jing Zhe didn’t have a penny on his hands, and Hanhan, his little follower, only had one tael of silver on him. How much turbid wine could he buy?

The most important thing is that it is easy to make a sum of money, but the difficulty is to make a steady stream of money. Distilling and purifying spirits consumes too much liquor. Even if you can make money at the beginning, where will you get so much liquor later?

After thinking about it, Jing Zhe gave up the idea.

…

“Melons are for sale, melons are for sale!”

“Sweet and cool watermelon!”

“Eat one piece to relieve the heat, eat two pieces to survive the winter!”

As I was walking, a loud shout came from ahead.

The sun was getting higher, and after walking for a long time, Jing Zhe was also thirsty. When he heard that there was a watermelon seller, he immediately became energetic.

“Hanhan, let’s go buy a melon to eat!”

“We have melons on the mountain!”

“Then you go to the mountain and pick one for me now?”

“…”

Hanhan covered his pocket, hesitating.

“You’re too lazy to climb the mountain, so why are you bothering? Besides, isn’t this money just for food and accommodation?”

“Yes…”

After Jing Zhe said this, Hanhan really couldn’t find a reason to refuse. Melons are also eaten…

After taking two steps forward, Jing Zhe discovered that the melon seller was not the kind of street stall, but had a separate storefront with a small table outside and a cut The red watermelon looks particularly attractive under the hot sunlight.

But the strange thing is that with such a big facade, there are very few people buying watermelons. Many people stop in front of the door for a while, give instructions in a low voice, and then leave.

The waiter at the door didn’t care. He took a bite of the watermelon and spat out the black seeds along with the words.

“Bah, poor guy!”
