Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

This heavy teacher-appreciation ceremony is not only a new starting point for the Huo family, but also Zheng Shaoxuan's "manna after a long drought."

Huo Yunchao knew that ten taels of silver was not enough to change Zheng's mother's fate, but like a timely rain, it gave the desperate Zheng Shaoxuan a glimmer of hope, giving him new spiritual sustenance, and thus radiating vitality in the future.

Even Huo Yunchao didn't expect that Zheng Shaoxuan would get out of the predicament in such a tender way.

I have to say that life is full of surprises.

As the old patriarch said, "good things come in pairs", Huo Yunzhao settled his worries and sat quietly in the house waiting for the auspicious time to come.

Zheng Shaoxuan was responsible for taking down the names of the guests who came to have a wedding banquet and collecting gifts. He was full of poetry and calligraphy. He sat there like a beautiful human statue, with a sense of alienation.

The first relatives and friends who came saw Zheng Shaoxuan, who was wearing a green shirt, and guessed that he was a classmate and friend of Huo Yunchao. After asking about it with the Huo clan, they unexpectedly learned that he would be the enlightened master of the Huo clan, and they became more curious and concerned about him. .

"This scholar looks different from us country roughnecks. He sits there like a painting. His back is straight."

"Look, look, he's about to write! Wow! The writing is exactly the same as the printed one!"

"You haven't read the book, how do you know that the written version is the same as the printed version..."

Before he finished speaking, the relative who was eating lemons was pointed at the couplet by the Huo clan and said, "Did you see it? We don't recognize what is written in the couplet. But you should recognize the big red 囍 character that must be seen when getting married, right? You Tell me instead, besides Huo Dalang, where else have you seen such a correct 囍?"

"That makes sense. That's right.

The words get better and better the more you read them! "

Relatives and friends discussed it a lot. Even though they were illiterate, they still had normal aesthetics and expressed their love for the red 囍 character without exception.

Huo Yunyao, who was married to the county town, had an idea: "Hey, can I pay this scholar to write the Chinese character "囍"? My eldest aunt's daughter is getting married next month, and I want to give her a few paintings of the Chinese character "囍" as a gift. No. I know if Zheng Shulang is willing."

When Huo Yunyao heard his sister-in-law's request, he did not agree hastily: "Sister-in-law, Zheng Shulang is the master of our Huo family. The old patriarch personally selected ten children and grandchildren of the Huo family from the clan, and they will be taught in the ancestral temple."

Aunt Huo asked anxiously: "Dad, are you going to start a clan school?"

Huo Yunyao didn't mention the insecticide and shampoo that Huo Yunchao learned from books. He only said: "Yes! There are many benefits to reading and literacy. Even if you don't get a good name, you can still understand what the couplets mean no matter how bad they are."

Aunt Huo nodded thoughtfully.

Huo Yunyao suggested: "Sister-in-law, why don't you ask Yun Chao first? I heard that scholars have their own rules. If Master Zheng is dissatisfied if he doesn't understand the rules, that would be bad."

Aunt Huo thought it made sense and asked Huo Yunchao for his opinion.

Huo Yunchao said bluntly: "Sister-in-law, Zheng Shulang's writing of "囍" is so good, you can just pay the market price for retouching."

Aunt Huo inquired: "The writing fee? How much is it approximately?"

"Well, sister-in-law, how many 囍s do you plan to have? The ones with the same 囍 as the one in my house?"

Aunt Huo: "Yes! I want ten."

Huo Yunchao thought for a while and then said loudly: "Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth, for ten pieces of Chinese characters, the cost of pen, ink, paper and inkstone alone costs ten cents."

My pen can't write two characters for "Huo", and it's my big day again. I need to use mine for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone required for the ten characters of "囍". My sister-in-law will give Zheng Shulang 20 cents as a pen retouching fee. "

Aunt Huo calculated that a piece of 囍 would cost two cents: "Twenty cents? Okay."

Huo Yunchao looked at the time and saw that he could still wander around and take on the lobbying work: "Sister-in-law, wait a minute, I'll go tell Zheng Shulang."

Zheng Shaoxuan wanted to say that he could write red double letters for free, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone would be the bulk of the work. He could just practice calligraphy without charging extra.

Huo Yunchao firmly disagreed: "Brother Zheng, what if all of the hundreds of relatives in my family asked you to write red double letters for free? If you are not afraid of being tired and are willing to write, what about the pen, ink, paper and inkstone you consume?"

Zheng Shaoxuan looked ashamed.

Huo Yunchao winked and said, "Brother Zheng, as I said, if there is a way to make money, I will never forget you."

Zheng Shaoxuan couldn't laugh or cry, and was deeply moved. He's not stupid, he's just not good at dealing with people.

Huo Yunchao said happily: "Sister-in-law, I have discussed it with Zheng Shulang. After Zheng Shulang receives the gift money, he will write you a red double blessing."

When Huo Yunchao was discussing with Zheng Shaoxuan, Aunt Huo was called over by the old clan leader to inquire about the situation, and was told to add an extra ten cents for retouching. The reason was: "Master Zheng's handwriting is good."

Aunt Huo's family is well off, so paying an extra ten cents for writing brushes will not bring any financial burden to her. She was more concerned about the Huo clan's studies.

The old patriarch said: "Chao'er learned the wheelbarrow, insecticide, and shampoo from books..."

Aunt Huo interrupted her old father's ramblings in a hurry, "Shampoo? Dad, do we have shampoo at home?"

Huo Yunyao on the side took the conversation

Stubble: "Yes, Yun Chao Gangyun gave me a small bottle. Sister, that shampoo is good to use. My scalp doesn't itch after using it, and my hair feels as slippery as a loach."

Aunt Huo urged in a hurry: "Quick! Show me the shampoo!"

Huo Yunyao went back to the house to get shampoo. Aunt Huo was pacing back and forth restlessly, making the old patriarch feel impetuous.

"Stop shaking and sit down! Chao'er learned the wheelbarrow, insecticide, and shampoo from books. This is why I want to start an ethnology school."

Aunt Huo was stunned for a while, "Dad, you said the shampoo was made by Yun Chao?"

The old patriarch said angrily: "Yeah, what's the problem with this? Chao'er also said that he upgraded his shampoo and added spices to the shampoo. After washing his hair, his whole body smells good."

Snapped--

Aunt Huo slapped her thigh suddenly, laughed up to the sky and went out.

The old patriarch was completely confused by his daughter's appearance.

Aunt Huo rushed to Huo Yunchao in one breath, "Xiaoyunchao, how many shampoos do you have? I want as much as I have in stock! I've got it covered for you!"

"what?"

Aunt Huo said: "Xiao Yunchao, the shampoo you made is selling like crazy in the county! What was the original price of the shampoo you sold?"

Huo Yunchao reported the price, and Aunt Huo slapped her thigh hard again, "Oh! I lost a lot of money! The price sold in the county is ten times higher than what you sold!"

Huo Yunchao disagreed and grinned: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about getting angry. I was nameless at that time, and few people were willing to believe me and buy shampoo from me. Aunt Yao was willing to give me a hand, and I am very grateful to her."

After hearing such an open-minded answer, Aunt Huo stopped saying that Huo Yunchao had lost money.

He only reminded: "Xiao Yunchao, your shampoo is selling so well, you can't sell it so cheap anymore. If someone named Yao comes to buy from you again, you have to sell it at the market price. By the way, check it out. character."

When Huo Yunchao heard the noise coming from outside, he was overjoyed: "Sister, Ning Niang is here to pick up the bride!"
