After the rebirth, I was held in my heart by the natural enemy
Chapter 45. Testing the Spirit Root
I didn't have any dinner yesterday, just ate a piece of grilled corn and drank a bowl of sweet wine. The four of us were a little hungry.
Xuan Muzhi got up very early and was already busy in the outer room. The remaining June persimmons were used as a base yesterday, and an egg was beaten to fly into egg flowers. The flour was stirred into small gnocchi to make pimple soup. They are also cut into small pieces and steamed on the pot.
When everyone got up, Xuan Muzhi was putting green vegetable leaves in it, "Go wash up, eat right away!"
The three of them immediately cheered up. After washing, they sat in a row on the kang, and four bowls of pimple soup were served on the table. The four colors of red, yellow, green and white were interlaced, and there was a steamed corn next to it. Start eating.
"We'll go to the market to buy the store in a while, and then I'll send you to the academy." Uncle Wu said while eating.
"Yeah." Xuan Muzhi nodded.After eating, I went to prepare a few gold coins to buy for the store later.
Because they were not too far away, Uncle Wu and Xuan Muzhi didn't drive a car, but walked away.
I went early, and the shop hadn't opened yet. In fact, this kind of special soup shop opened only after the market started. It was a place for hawkers who came from remote places in the northern district to eat. It opened too early. There were no guests either.What's more, Shopkeeper He's side is already half closed.
The two waited outside the door for a while before they saw a young guy come to open the door. They were stunned when they saw them, "You are the one who came yesterday..."
"Yeah." Xuan Muzhi nodded with a smile, "When will Shopkeeper He come? I'm here to buy the shop."
"Then you..." The boy wanted to ask a little nervously but didn't ask.
"I agreed to his request."
"That's great." The boy was overjoyed, and he quickly opened the door, "You two please, the shopkeeper will be here soon."
Xuan Muzhi and Uncle Wu sat in the shop, the young man brought them two cups of hot water and went to work.The hot soup spot is the busiest in the morning, and the soup needs to be boiled.
It didn't take long for another older guy to come. This guy didn't know Xuan Muzhi very well, so he greeted them, "Guest, do you want some hot soup? I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer."
Xuan Muzhi waved his hand, "It's okay, we're not here for dinner."
The older guy was stunned for a moment, just as shopkeeper He had arrived, Xuan Muzhi quickly got up, "Treasurer He!"
"Hey, brother, have you thought about it?"
"Yeah. I went back yesterday and discussed it with my elders, and I've made up my mind." Xuan Muzhi smiled and introduced Uncle Wu beside him. "This is me, Uncle Wu."
"So it's Brother Wu." Shopkeeper He greeted Uncle Wu, "Since that's the case, let's go through the formalities now. Dali, Brother Xing, come here."
The young guy is called Brother Xing, and the older guy is called Dali.When Dali arrived at the kitchen just now, Brother Xing had already told him about Xuan Muzhi's identity, now shopkeeper He called them both, and they came out quickly.
As soon as shopkeeper He told the story, the two guys quickly met Uncle Wu and Xuan Muzhi, and now they are the bosses.
"Where do you two live now? If you don't have a place to live, you can come to my house. I still have two rooms to live in." Xuan Muzhi invited.
The two looked at Shopkeeper He.
"Go, go, the house over there is an expense if you pay for it yourself." Shopkeeper He said, "Brother Ang, Brother Xuan, I don't know how their wages are calculated?"
"What you told me is that they have ten silver coins a month, so it's just according to what you want. You can take care of food and housing, and there will be extra rewards every month." Xuan Muzhi said, "If you also help us with the work at home Do it, and send five more silver coins every month."
The two guys' eyes lit up, and they looked at each other in disbelief.An extra five silver coins is not a small amount of money. If you save it up, you may be able to support a store in the future.
"We do!" the two said in unison.
"Okay, but I also want to sign a contract with you. I have to work with me for at least three years before I can leave." Xuan Muzhi said, "If you choose to stay after three years, your salary will be doubled."
Although Xuan Muzhi is not afraid of people learning skills, he doesn't want to change people every few days and re-teach one side.
The two chose to sign the contract without hesitation, but it was a contract for work, not prostitution, so there was nothing to be afraid of.Shopkeeper He first went to transfer the ownership of the store with Xuan Muzhi, paid the fee face to face, and then came back to help Xuan Muzhi sign the contract with the two clerks.
Xuan Muzhi saw that he didn't know any of the words above, and secretly sighed that he really had to learn, otherwise it would be blind.It's really not a good feeling to be able to read by yourself at a few years old, but now you have become illiterate.
"Brother Ang, Brother Xuan, this store belongs to you. I...have a chance to get together." Shopkeeper He sighed a little.
Xuan Muzhi probably understood the other party's feelings. I heard that this hot soup spot has been open for nearly ten years, and it is still well-known in the North District market.It has been a store for so long, and it is inevitable to pour emotion into it.
Shopkeeper He was sad and left early. After a while, the old diners came to the door, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
After Shopkeeper He left, Dali and Brother Xing met with Uncle Wu and Xuan Muzhi again. Now that the owner is different, they will have to rely on the new owner for dinner in the future.
Xuan Muzhi had never done business, and Wu Uncle had never done business either, but he was much older, so he asked them how many bowls they could sell in a day and how much money they could make.Xuan Muzhi listened and learned from the side, basically agreeing with what Shopkeeper He said.
Uncle Wu looked at the sky, "You two should stay here by yourself today. We still have something to do, and I'll take you to see where you live when we come back."
"Okay, you are busy, Master." He greeted vigorously.Shopkeeper He is usually here to settle accounts at most, and they are mainly responsible for the work.
Hurrying home in a hurry, Xuanxuan was the only one left at home.
"Brother Su An is gone, he said see you in the academy." Xuanxuan opened his mouth without waiting for the two to ask.
"That's fine, let's go too." Uncle Wu had already guessed that Su An was unusual, and even if he decided to go temporarily, he would definitely be able to enter the academy.
Uncle Wu took out the wildebeest and put it on the cart, while Xuan Muzhi locked the gate at the back. Now it is different from the thatched cottage before, and there are still many valuable things.
On the way, Xuan Muzhi became a little nervous, "Uncle Wu, don't we need to order something? Paper and pens."
"No need." Uncle Wu shook his head and smiled, "Those things are all provided by the academy, and they need to be tested first, so don't be too nervous."
"There is still a test?" Xuan Muzhi became more nervous.He is now illiterate!
The location they chose was at the very edge of the South District, and the Academy was located in the center of the South District. Even if they were driving a wildebeest, they still had to go for a couple of minutes.
"It's here! Muzhi, Xuanxuan, come down." Uncle Wu stopped the car to let the brothers get down, and parked the horned carriage at the gate.There are engraved plates on wildebeest with the owner's name written on them, which are generally not lost.
Uncle Wu personally led the two brothers into the gate of the academy and went straight to the last row of buildings.The academy's test for this year has long since ended, in other words, the brothers Xuan Muzhi are transfer students.
"Old Wu! Hahaha, you are finally here!" Before the three of them approached, an old man in the room spoke loudly.
Xuan Muzhi was wondering how the other party knew they were here, when an old man flew out and stood in front of them in a flash.
Xuan Muzhi was taken aback.
"Little guy, don't be afraid." The old man was tall, with a red face and a voice like a bell.
"Muzhi, Xuanxuan, I have met Jiang Zhangyuan." Uncle Wu said.
The Xuan family brothers rushed to salute, they couldn't be more obedient.
"It looks very clever, not bad. Let's go and test it first!" Jiang Zhangyuan led the way in front, and went forward side by side with Uncle Wu, and the Xuan family brothers followed behind obediently, quietly looking at the surrounding scenery.
It was very quiet in the Southern District Academy, and there was no sound of reading.But this academy is really big, and the greenery is very good. Except for the bluestone path they are walking, there are flowers and plants everywhere, and they can't even see the land.
"Brother, it's so big here." Xuan Xuan tugged on Xuan Muzhi's clothes and whispered.
"Shh." Xuan Muzhi gesticulated with his fingers.
"Old Wu, are these two children your descendants?" Jiang Zhangyuan and the two were also chatting quietly in front.
"Do you look like it?" Uncle Wu asked back.
"No, these two children look good, not like what you, an old boy, can give birth to." Jiang Zhangyuan joked.
"Fart, you old boy speaks too badly!"
"But they are able to invite you, there must be something special about them, right? I don't think they are dressed like children from a rich family." Jiang Zhangyuan had already seen through the Xuan family brothers at that moment.
"I seem to give in for money? Huh!" Uncle Wu snorted angrily, "These two children live with me now, they are very well-behaved and sensible, and they are good at cooking."
Jiang Zhangyuan suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Uncle Wu incredulously, "Old Wu, aren't you? Can you introduce me to a cook?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I think these two children are good seedlings. Even if they can't practice... they can learn other things. There is no harm." Uncle Wu said in a low voice.
The four of them walked quickly to a large hall, and Jiang Zhangyuan waved at the two of them, "Go in and see your physique."
There are ten huge pillars in the main hall, and a man in his thirties pointed to the pillars and said to their brother, "Put your hands on the pillars, and then don't think about anything."
Xuan Muzhi doesn't know what this is for, isn't it about studying in the academy?He thought the test was a written test, and he was already ready for the test, but he didn't expect it to be a pillar?
There are five pillars on the left and five pillars on the right. The two brothers touched from the left.When he touched the second one, Xuan Muzhi found that the pillar was slightly lit up.
Xuan Muzhi was taken aback, he didn't know what this meant, and it was amazing that such a thick pillar could still shine!
Then the third one also shone slightly, and the fourth...
Xuan Muzhi was numb.It turns out that any of these pillars can be touched.
However, there is obviously a lack of cooperation at the back without a pillar, and none of them responded.
The middle-aged man next to him pouted.The three spiritual roots are still so weak, one is useless.Although there are not many amazing talents in the Southern District, those with this physique are still very popular and biased.
Xuan Muzhi didn't know what this meant, so he stood aside after touching it, waiting for Xuanxuan.
When Xuan Xuan touched the first pillar, a golden light lit up, making Xuan Muzhi almost unable to open his eyes.
"I'll go!" Xuan Muzhi couldn't help but swear.
Xuan Muzhi got up very early and was already busy in the outer room. The remaining June persimmons were used as a base yesterday, and an egg was beaten to fly into egg flowers. The flour was stirred into small gnocchi to make pimple soup. They are also cut into small pieces and steamed on the pot.
