Self-cultivation of male support

The result of Shi Yan's not being greedy is that Zhuangzi had just replaced crystal windows with crystal windows, and soon mercury mirrors became popular in the capital, which can clearly see people clearly.

This thing takes the high-end route. It is said that the ladies in the palace can only be rewarded with a full-length mirror of the same height if they are favored by His Majesty.

Shi Yan was relentless and spent a lot of money to buy two pieces.

One piece is placed in one's own room, and the other piece is placed on the left side of Zhuangzi's door for pedestrians to come and go.

Since the day when the full-length mirror was placed at the gate of Zhuangzi, not only the adults and children in their own Zhuangzi passed by there three times a day, even people from the next door village often came to watch it.

After all, these days, before the appearance of the mercury mirror, no one in this dynasty clearly knew what they looked like!

Isn't it rare?

For the full-length mirror, Wang An specially brought craftsmen to build a brick and tile shed at the gate of Zhuangzi, and protected the full-length mirror inside like an ancestor. In case someone accidentally broke it, he specially sent two people to take turns guarding it twelve hours a day.

The whole is very serious.

Shi Yan was extremely helpless: "It's unnecessary, the things are embedded in the wall, and ordinary people can't dig them out at all.

Even if you pick it out, I'm afraid it will be broken into scum, and everyone is not a fool, so why bother to do such a thing at the risk of offending me?

Besides, although that thing is expensive, it is not unaffordable. There are many people with full-length mirrors in the capital, and it is not such a rare thing! "

Wang An poked his neck and said, "Boss, what do you know? Don't I know that the full-length mirror is not bad after being photographed several times?

The more we pay attention, the more precious the dressing mirror is in everyone's eyes. I'm buying people's hearts for you, do you understand?The day before yesterday, I went to the capital to do things, and I heard people say that you will dedicate the crystal recipe to His Majesty this time, and you will offend more than two slaps! "

Shi Yan lazily and half-seriously reminded: "Your Majesty is young and powerful, we just need to follow His Majesty's wishes all the time. Your Majesty needs us, and it is enough to be inseparable from us. There is no need to have a good reputation among the aristocratic families in the capital."

Wang An blinked and asked in confusion, "Is that so?"

Shi Yan: "Yes."

Shi Yan knew that Wang An, a foolish person, couldn't figure it out, so he would definitely discuss it with Liu Quan. The result of the two people's discussions was that the two ran to Shi Yan, patted his chest and said, "Boss, you Say what to do, we will do it! Listen to you!

"

Shi Yan lay under the tree in a daze, and waved his hands in distaste: "Forget it, you don't have to worry about things that require brains.

After counting the days, your family should have arrived in the capital too, right?Take two days off to bring people back. Recently, the flock has given birth to too many lambs, and the people in Zhuangzi can hardly take care of them.

When you come, hurry up and work for me! "

When the two of them heard this, they hooked their shoulders together and happily ran away like a child weighing three hundred catties.

Shi Yan sighed inwardly. Some people have experienced too much and have no sense of security. If they are not allowed to do something for a day, they are not at ease and have no sense of security. They always feel that if they do something, they will become irreplaceable. The one that is not abandoned.

Shi Yan followed them.

The two people's temperaments are not bad, when they wanted to escape in Peach Blossom Village, they just drugged him with sweat medicine, and they were worried that something would happen to him at home alone, so they discussed and hired someone to check on his situation after escaping.

If it weren't for this, Shi Yan wouldn't have indulged the two of them until now.

Liu Quan's daughter-in-law, Liu Shi, is indeed as he said, a very vigorous and capable person. Within five days after coming to Zhuangzi, she was able to do all the work in the Zhuangzi. A grass shed was set up to sell breakfast food, steamed buns, steamed buns, and bean paste cakes. There are many types, delicious taste, and the price is not expensive. People passing by will inevitably stop to have a bite.

Wang An's wife Yang's one-handed embroidery work is amazing. For embroidery, one's hands need extra maintenance, so they can't do rough work.

For this reason, Wang Anqi squatted beside Shi Yan and said with a blushing face: "Boss, boss, my wife's hands really, really can't raise sheep and ducks. You see, I will do more in the future so that she can be in the same place as you are." Is it safe to embroider at home?"

Shi Yan closed his eyes and took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his sleeve for a long time before throwing it to Wang An: "Take it and get out, don't disturb my study."

Wang An was also literate. When he opened it, he was pleasantly surprised: "The Weaving Bureau under the Ministry of Internal Affairs is an embroiderer, and the location is still in the capital? Boss, you are so kind! From now on, you will be my living ancestor!"

Shi Yan waved his hands in disgust: "Stop yelling, it makes me study too much!"

At this moment, Wang An closed his eyes and flattered against his will without hesitation: "Boss, you are really amazing! Others have to hang their heads on their heads, stay up all night studying hard, and prepare for the exam!

Your old man is different and unique. You can lie down comfortably, sleep with your eyes closed, and you can learn in your dreams!Could it be that the legendary Heaven, Man and God received knowledge from the dream?

As expected of you, my boss, Wang An!

"

Shi Yan: "Get lost."

Although Shi Yan is Min'an Bo, but he decided to continue to participate in the examination in March next year, and a person must start and end.

The unique experience of taking the imperial examinations still tempers one's will.

There are thousands of sheep raised in the village, and all the dry feed stored before was eaten up in one winter. The fat sheep are fat and strong, stupid and delicious, and they are a must-have for eating pots in the winter.

Many restaurant shopkeepers in the capital are very knowledgeable, and rush to buy fat sheep from Min'anbo. Whoever makes the lamb here is firm and delicious, and it is a unique dish when it is cooked.

Shi Yan didn't stop Wang An from selling the fat sheep to the restaurants and nobles in the capital. If you have money, you don't make a bastard, right?Besides, the nobles in the capital don't eat mutton every day, how much can they eat with their stomachs open?

As a result, in spring, Shi Yan drove an ox cart to inspect the sheep pen, and found that most of the fat sheep in the pen had disappeared. Now, there are less than three hundred sheep left in the sheep pen.

Shi Yan was heartbroken and deeply felt that he was careless!

So he called Wang An and Liu Quan and told them: "I regret it, I shouldn't have sold the best fat sheep to others for money.

The majestic flock of sheep, now there is only a group of crooked melons and jujubes left, and the leftovers are picked by others, and no one else likes to eat them. Why should I eat the leftovers picked by others? "

Liu Quan felt that Shi Yan was making trouble unreasonably: "Then what do you mean, boss?"

Shi Yan raised his feet and said without thinking: "Anyway, I won't eat the remaining sheep.

How about this, the weather is hot, find some people to shear the wool of the sheep, so as not to cause them to suffer from heat stroke, I just happened to see if the wool is gone, and the rest is crooked.

Didn't they all say that people depend on clothes, horses depend on saddles, and Buddha depends on gold clothes?I thought the sheep were similar. What if they just didn't grow well, but the sheep are still good?

I don't just look at appearances, I also look at their essence. Boss, I am not a person who judges people by their appearance! "

Liu Quan was dumbfounded: "Yes, but boss, these breeds used to be raised on the grasslands, but they have never heard of the need for shearing!"

Shi Yan took it for granted: "The weather on the grassland is so cool all year round, the sheep must not be hot! It is a well-known fact that the summer in our capital is hot. We can't stand the heat without wearing clothes, not to mention the sheep have such thick coats. A coat of hair?"

Wang An scratched his head straight: "Boss, according to what you said, what should we do if the wool is cut and the weather suddenly turns cold and the hair doesn't grow back all of a sudden?

No one in this capital has raised such a thing before.

So many sheep, I don't know who to turn to if I want to get a sutra!

Boss, can you stop messing around?If something goes wrong with the sheep, all the money lost will be in vain! "

Liu Quan nodded repeatedly, trying to reason with Shi Yan: "The sheepfolds we built for the sheep were built with blue bricks, and the villagers in several nearby villages still live in their ancestral adobe houses.

The sheep pens have to be cleaned every day, lime is sprinkled every three days, and the sheep pens are bathed every half a month. The sheep pens are cleaner than the road outside Zhuangzi.

The fodder these sheep ate, the salt bricks they licked, and the well water they drank all winter add up to a considerable amount. Boss, think about it, it’s all money. Can you calm down? "

Shi Yan shook his head very coldly: "Then I can't accept that I eat a group of crooked melons and dates left by others! I must find a good-looking one among the remaining sheep and eat it!

Could it be that I, an uncle, don't even have the freedom to choose what kind of sheep to eat?

Cut!Lose it all for me! "

Under Shi Yan's unreasonable and tough style, Wang An and Liu Quan, with mournful faces and hardened their heads, found someone to buy some special large scissors, and began to call the people in Zhuangzi to help shear the sheep together.

Others don't care what's wrong with shearing the sheep, they only hear that they are paid for it, and they can't be happy, and anyone with a family will come to help!

Wang An was angry and worried, but Shi Yan didn't listen to him, so he angrily stuffed all the wool into the yard next door where Shi Yan lived, and the whole yard was filled to the brim with wool.

Especially when the weather is hot, not to mention the fishy smell of wool, it makes people dizzy, nausea and vomiting, and tears flow out of their eyes unconsciously.

Wang An thought, when Shi Yan realized that his decision was wrong, he would have someone remove the wool, and then go to confess his mistake to Shi Yan, and explain the reasoning by the way.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yan, who was very unhappy, went to find Wang An and Liu Quan, and told them again in a whimsical way: "The wool is too smelly, but it's a pity to throw it away. Go find someone to wash the wool.

The wash is white and tender, preferably as fluffy and soft as cotton. It feels like clouds in the hand. They are all white objects. Maybe wool can be used as cotton! "

Liu Quan was shocked, and stammered: "Boss, are you okay? Cotton can be fluffy and soft. In addition to being very fluffy, we also need to spend a lot of time and energy in the process of removing seeds. .

What is wool?Years of growing on the sheep, sweating and raining

Rolling around in the mud and running wild in the pile of excrement and urine are common things. Not to mention dirty, that thing has nothing to do with softness! "

Shi Yan was lying lazily, and when he heard the words covering his face with the book, a muffled voice came from under the book: "Then find a way to make him soft, anyway, it can't be wasted, the whole yard is full, lost it What a pity!"

Wang An and Liu Quan left with shameful brows and drooping eyes, Xiao Jia asked Shi Yan in a puzzled way: "Team leader, why do you have to have trouble with the sheep?"

Shi Yan raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you ask me to find a way to snipe the hero in order to protect myself?"

Xiao Jia: "But what does this have to do with sheep?"

Shi Yan snorted and said, "You will know when the time comes."
