After Ning Yao and Die Zhang returned to the shop, Die Zhang suddenly stopped and did not dare to go any further.
Because Diezhang was in awe of the man who suddenly appeared at the door of his shop.
The other party is a great swordsman who is famous for keeping away from strangers.
Normally, no matter how bad-tempered a sword cultivator from other continents is in his hometown, he has to calm down his temper when he arrives at the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
Senior left and right are different. As soon as they arrived at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, there was a local Immortal Realm Sword Immortal stationed at the top of the city. He tried to ask the sword master who was regarded as the best swordsman in the world, but the result was different. The senior only replied, "You can't learn my swordsmanship, but there is something you can learn from me. If you can't fight, just don't fight at all."
Yin Guan was standing by at that time. The adults also said, "It seems so."
The much-anticipated competition at the top of the city did not start a fight.
After the shock, Diezhang was full of curiosity again. Why did the other party restrain his sword energy so much? It was known to the whole city that the sword spirit always lingered around the sword immortal. During the battle, it is the same to use sword energy to clear the way and penetrate deep into the hinterland of the demon army. It is also the same to sharpen one's sword energy alone on the top of the city.
But today, Haoran, who has the highest swordsmanship in the world, has restrained his sword energy and for the first time has not revealed even a single bit.
Ning Yao took Diezhang to go shopping again.
Ning Yao returned after learning that Mr. Wen Sheng had left. He never thought that he had not left yet.
Before leaving, the old gentleman made a special trip to say hello and thank her. Ning Yao was actually confused at the moment. He didn’t know what happened to him and needed to be taken care of. An old literary sage expressed his thanks.
As for the subtle relationship between Chen Pingan and Zuo Zuo, it was not difficult for Ning Yao to understand what they were thinking, so he did not say anything to Zuo Zuo on Chen Pingan's side.
Nothing she said was appropriate, not to mention that Chen Ping'an had his own opinions on major life matters, so she didn't need Ning Yao to point fingers or make suggestions.
Die Zhang couldn't help but be curious. After walking far away, he asked Ning Yao with the ripples in his heart, "Chen Ping'an knows Zuo Dajianxian?"
Ning Yao nodded and said: "We've known each other for a long time."
Chen Ping'an has written about it in his landscape travel diary, which is quite long.
Die Zhang smiled and said, "Can you tell me more?"
Ning Yao shook his head and said, "No."
Die Zhang pulled Ning Yao's sleeve. She swayed slightly, obviously about to act coquettishly, and said pitifully: "Sister Ning, you can talk about whatever you want, there will always be something you can talk about."
Ning Yao thought for a while, "You'd better turn around. Go ask Chen Ping'an yourself, he plans to open a shop with you, and you can use this as a condition, so don't agree yet." Die Zhang quickly figured out the meaning of his words, and Ning Yao clearly told himself. After digging a trap, Diezhang laughed angrily and said: "I have no intention of agreeing to do business with him. Ning Yao, please stop it."
Ning Yao said with a smile: "It's really not my arm.Turn your elbows outward, Chen Ping'an is right, you are not smart enough in business, if you do it with him, you can ensure that your business will continue to flow smoothly, and your wealth will be abundant. "
Die Zhang frowned and stopped talking.
Ning Yao glanced at her and immediately knew what she was thinking, and explained: "Chen Ping'an has a Carrying only one small thing and two things close by, apart from the usual wine from home and a pile of bamboo leaves, it was empty. I brought almost nothing. If it was just to imitate the many merchants who cross continental ferry boats on this Great Wall of Sword Qi, By selling some messy gadgets and earning fairy money from us sword cultivators, Chen Ping'an wouldn't have wasted so much. So Chen Pingan wants to do business with you, and only makes money with good conscience. It is a habit. Chen Pingan has liked making money since he was a child, not just being rich. I must apologize for him on this point. "
Diezhang was relieved and smiled again, "That's good. Otherwise, I would have scolded him to his face for being a lard, and this new friend should not be considered inappropriate. ”
Not long after the old scholar left.
The left and right men had already gently placed the jug in their hands on the chair.
I don’t like drinking, so I suppressed it. It's troublesome to have sword energy.
The only one in the world who dislikes his own sword energy is Chen Ping'an, who is still sipping his wine and looking pretty good. Zaiyouzai.
The left and right sneered: "Isn’t it hard to pretend to be calm and calm without Mr. favoritism? "
Chen Pingan was determined not to speak.
Ziu Zuo asked: "I didn't know that Mr. would come to the Great Wall of Sword Qi before. You asked Chen Qingdu to come out. There is no problem. Now Mr. is here. , why don't you take the initiative to speak? Whether you agree or not is a matter for your husband. Whether you ask or not is a courtesy for you as a student. "
Chen Pingan also put down the wine bottle on the chair, put his hands in his sleeves, leaned forward, looked at the street being renovated, and said softly: "I don't know what the situation is like, sir. , are you going to embarrass Mr. by opening this mouth? If the teacher is not embarrassed, won’t the students have uneasy conscience? Even if I felt so good that I caused trouble for the entire Sword Qi Great Wall, affected the whole body, and directly led to the beginning of the war between the two sides, how could I really not be embarrassed when my husband left? ”
Shuo Zuo nodded, indicating that he approved the answer.
Sir, disciples should share their worries.
Suo Zuo remembered the tall Mao Xiaodong, and his memory It's a bit blurry, but I just remember that he was a serious young man who studied all year round. Among the many registered disciples, he was not the smartest among them. He was slow in studying and liked to ask people about learning problems. He was also slow to enlighten. Cui Chan often laughed at him. Mao Xiaodong is an ignorant person who only gives answers but never wants to go into details. Only Xiao Qi will be patient and talk more to Mao Xiaodong.
Left and left slowly: "In the early years. Mao Xiaodong did not want to take refuge in Liji Academy. He insisted on being tied to the lineage of Literary Saints and accompanied Xiao Qi to Aquarius Continent to establish Cliff Academy. At that time, my husband actually said very serious words, saying that Mao Xiaodong did notYou should be so selfish and only want to put your own conscience at ease. Why can't you raise your ambitions to a higher level? You shouldn't have such a sectarian view. If you can use greater knowledge to benefit the world, it doesn't matter whether you are in the lineage of literary sages or not. Then Mao Xiaodong, who I had never looked down upon all my life, said something that I admired very much. Mao Xiaodong opened his voice and shouted directly at his teacher, saying that his disciple Mao Xiaodong was stupid by nature and only knew how to respect his teacher first. Only in order to have a clear conscience, the order of the two cannot be wrong. After hearing this, the husband was happy and sad, but he no longer forced Mao Xiaodong to switch to the Lisheng lineage. "
Chen Ping'an picked up the jug again and took a sip of wine, "I went to Sui Academy twice, and Senior Brother Mao was very concerned about me, for fear that I would go astray. When Senior Brother Mao reasoned, he was very worried. He has the demeanor of a Confucian saint and master. "
You smiled and said, "Then you didn't see him tightening his neck and being speechless. When you talk to your husband, no matter how good the reason is, you can't sneer at him. saliva. What do you think? Junior brother! "
Chen Ping'an quietly put the wine bottle back on the chair. He only dared to hum and still didn't say a word.
Stand up from left to right, grab the chair with one hand and put it on the chair. bottle, then looked at the food box at his feet.
Chen Pingan stood up and said, "I'll pay for it myself. "
He glanced at Chen Pingan again.
Chen Pingan could only continue: "It will be the same in the future. "
The left and right were about to leave.
Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "I hope I didn't disappoint my senior brother. "
After a moment of silence, he said slowly: "It's okay. "
Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's good. "
After hesitating for a while, he still said: "From today on, if someone says some weird words to you, saying that you are only able to achieve what you are today because you were born in the lineage of literary saints and received countless protections, You don't need to talk nonsense with them, just fly your sword to the top of the city and I will teach them how to behave. "
Chen Pingan was speechless.
It was really uncomfortable.
He paused for a moment and added: "Even their parents and elders teach. "
Chen Ping'an seemed a little impatient when he saw his left and right. He looked like he was going to teach himself swordsmanship first. He remembered the widely circulated saying among wild cultivators that a dead Taoist friend will never die but a poor Taoist, so he had to nod quickly and said: "Noted it down. ”
Left and right no longer work hard to suppress their own sword energy, and turn into rainbows and go to the top of the city.
From the city to the top of the city, wherever the left and right sword energy goes, the ancient sword energy in the world is full. , they all gave way to a fleeting path.
At the top of the city, the hands holding the wine bottles gently lifted their sleeves, which contained a bound book. It was Chen Pingan who had given it to his husband before, but for some reason he secretly kept it to himself, even his most beloved disciple Chen Pingan. Drinking wine and reading a book
Put the book on the wall in front of you, and your mind will move.Will turn the book.
Left and right unknowingly finished the wine in the pot and turned to look at the sky, where the husband was leaving.
Since he became the most destitute Confucian sage in the world, he has always smiled, but everyone knows that he is not really happy. His disciples are scattered and wandering, and he feels guilty.
Only after seeing the young junior brother who is so big-hearted that he is now willing to accept him as his teacher, even if he doesn’t smile much, doesn’t speak much, even if they are separated, he is destined to be smiling at this moment.
That Chen Pingan may not know clearly. If he arrives at the Great Sword Qi Wall and hears that he is at the top of the city, he will rush to him and call him senior brother.
You will be disappointed.
How could Xiao Qi choose such a junior brother?
If you secretly build the ancestral hall in your hometown and hang a portrait of your husband, you have to take the initiative to ask for credit, and you will be even more disappointed.
Why did Sir choose such a closed disciple?
If you feel that this person’s swordsmanship is not low, you should learn to sword.
You will be the most disappointed.
Why should I recognize such a junior brother?
But none.
That is the little junior brother who has been waiting for a hundred years in his heart.
It is even better than the image of my younger junior brother that only existed in my imagination at first.
When they said goodbye to each other in Jiaolonggou, there were words left and right that he left unsaid, hoping that Chen Ping'an would do something.
I never thought that Chen Pingan not only did it, but also did it very well.
Walking through three continents, seeing all the mountains and rivers.
So after reading the contents of the book, I understood why my husband deliberately kept this book to himself.
So at this moment, Zuo Zuo felt that his awkward "It's okay" at the door of the store earlier made my junior brother feel sad?
If the husband had been present at that time, he would probably have beaten someone again.
Left and right did not look back for a long time.
The way of heaven and earth is broad and thick, high and clear, and long-lasting.
What a pity, the worries in my heart are as if the sun and the moon are over.
————
After left without drawing a sword, Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief. He was deceiving himself if he said he was not nervous. He quickly packed up the chairs and stools and put them back in the shop. He sat on the threshold, waiting for Ning Yao and Die Zhang to return.
When he came from left and right, he made no sound, but when he left, he did not deliberately cover up the traces of the sword energy.
So most of the sword immortals on the other side of the Sword Qi Great Wall should be aware of the movement that left the city.
What’s more, sitting openly and openly at the door of the store was a silent speech in itself.
Before his disciples appeared, the old scholar used his magical power to cover up the world and let only the shop know about it.
After the left and right arrived, the old scholar removed the spell.
There have always been many literary saintsWorry, act after worrying too much, always decisive, so it seems to be the most unreasonable.
Ning Yao and Diezhang returned here. Chen Pingan stood up and said with a smile, "I'm here to entertain guests. I'm sorry for the trouble, Miss Diezhang."
Diezhang smiled and asked, "Mr. I don’t ask about your identity, but why did Zuo Dajianxian take the initiative to come here to drink with you? I have to ask, so that I don’t know who to complain to if all my belongings in my shop are mysteriously gone.”
Chen Ping'an said: "On the left and right are my senior brothers. The one sitting in the middle is the husband of both of us, the Confucian literary sage in the world."
In the Great Wall of Sword Qi, anyway, the backer It doesn't mean much, there will be no less fights that need to be fought, and there will be no shortage of battlefields that need to be gone.
What's more, student Cui Dongshan is right, there is no need for teachers and seniors who earn by their own abilities to deliberately hide them.
Die Zhang silently walked into the shop.
No way to chat.
Ning Yao and Chen Pingan sat on the threshold together and said softly: "Fortunately, the boss Sword Immortal is now watching the city in person and not allowing anyone to go south for any reason. Otherwise, in the next battle, you It will be very dangerous. There are many calculations on the part of the demon clan." Chen Pingan said with a smile: "Sir and Senior Brother Zuo are aware of it."
Ning Yao nodded. What to do next?"
Chen Ping'an said: "Practice diligently, refine your Qi more, and strive to reach the cave realm as soon as possible. It will be much easier to fight when you reach the Far Traveling Realm, but these two things are difficult to achieve for the time being. Among them, it is only said that the two natal items of metal and fire are difficult to reach the sky. If you can't help it, don't deliberately pursue too high a level. You must first build a bridge of growth to deal with the next battle. Ning Yao, you don't need to persuade me about this matter. I have been very careful. After weighing the pros and cons, the quality of the three natal objects at the moment, without talking about other matters on the path of cultivation, just saying that the natal objects are actually enough to support me to reach the Earth Immortal, or even the Jade Pure Realm. I cannot be too demanding about perfection on the path of cultivation. , it really shouldn’t be too slow, otherwise it will be delayed to become a Qi practitioner in the middle five realms, and the spiritual energy will inevitably be scattered. However, when the martial arts realm reaches the seventh realm, a breath of pure Qi will more or less conflict with the spiritual energy, which will actually drag down the energy. Combat strength. In the meantime..."
At this point, Chen Pingan frowned and sighed, "I still need to learn swordsmanship from my senior brother,"
Ning Yao said. : "No, that's good. Senior Zuo is the most suitable and qualified person to teach you swordsmanship. Don't forget, your senior brother himself is not an innate sword embryo."
Chen Pingan said helplessly : "You can't just lie down and drink medicine in Ning Mansion every now and then."
Ning Yao smiled and said, "It's okay. I learned how to cook medicine from you at Lizhu Cave Sky, but I haven't been able to do it since." The opportunity came in handy."
Chen Pingan endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold it back. "It's not like I haven't seen you cook medicine with your own hands. If you dare to cook it, I don't dare to drink it."< /p>
Ning Yao clicked his tongue and said: "I have become tougher when I recognize my senior brother."
Chen Ping'an immediately said bitterly: "I will drink it as wine."
< p>(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)Die Zhang looked at the two at the door, shook her head, she was so sad.
Chen Ping'an remembered something, turned around and said with a smile: "Miss Diezhang, as long as I can help the shop make money, how about we split the bill between four and six?"
Diezhang smiled and said: "You will Isn’t it a little less?”
Chen Ping’an said: “Then it’s just Sanqi? Miss Diezhang, you’re really off-the-charts in business, no wonder the business is so…good.”< /p>
Die Zhang was so angry that he could not speak.
Ning Yao was a little gloating about his misfortune.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's hard for gods to make extra money in this grocery store. I knew I was going to stay at the Great Wall of Sword Qi for a long time this time, so I brought some more ordinary drinks from my hometown. Why don't we open it together?" It’s a small wine shop. It just needs more tables, chairs and stools outside the shop. You don’t have to worry about having too many customers and no seats. As long as the wine is good, it’s also delicious to drink on the ground.”
Die Zhang said curiously: “You yourself. It’s said that it’s just ordinary market wine. Even if there are a lot of drunkards here, even if the store can sell it, it will be sold out at some point. Besides, the price is too high and it’s easy to ruin your character. I don’t have the shame to deceive people.”< /p>
Chen Pingan twisted out a green bamboo leaf, which was full of energy and verdant. "As soon as I threw it into the wine pot, the price went up. But this is the first-class wine sold in our shop." "The next best thing is to buy that big wine vat and put a few more bamboo leaves. I still have this one."
Chen Pingan opened his hand and saw a wine bug borrowed from Wei Bo. , talking about business, wouldn't it hurt feelings? Even in the vast world, the wine worm is considered a rare thing that can only be found. Wei Bo also held three night banquets for the gods, and with hints, a certain mountain and water god finally reluctantly parted ways with her. Coupled with Wei Bo's hints, the god could be absent from the fourth night banquet as compensation, so he was willing to pay tribute to a wine worm.
Chen Ping'an said confidently: "I've tried it, but with the wine bug alone, it's still not a very good wine. Compared with the expensive Xianjia wine, it's indeed much inferior. Add the bamboo Ye, the taste of wine is different. So before we open our shop, we should try to collect as many low-priced common drinks as possible. The more the better, stock up first, and then we will open the door when the quantity is enough. Customers, if we buy wine ourselves, we probably won’t be able to keep the price down. If we buy too much, it will arouse suspicion, so we can give Yan Zhuo and Chen Sanqiu some dividends. That’s all. We don’t need to give them too much. They have money. We The two of them are the ones with no money in their pockets."
Ning Yao leaned against the door of the shop and looked at the guy who was very energetic when talking about business.
Die Zhang was a little hesitant, not that she was hesitating whether to sell wine or not. She already felt that there was no need to doubt this matter. She would definitely be able to make money. It was just a matter of making more or less, and she was still making money. Sword Immortal and Sword Cultivator She has spent so much money without any qualms about her conscience.Drinking someone’s wine is not drinking. What really makes Die Zhang hesitate is that she has to get involved with Fatty Yan and Chen Sanqiu. According to Die Zhang's original intention, she would rather make less money and have higher costs than let her friends help. If Chen Pingan hadn't suggested it, If you can share the dividends with them, Diezhang will definitely reject this proposal directly.
Chen Pingan was not in a hurry, put away the wine bug in his sleeves, and put the bamboo leaves close at hand. There were a lot of bamboo leaves and branches, which brought the Great Wall of Sword Qi. He smiled and said: "Miss Die Zhang , I would venture to say that you really need to change your temper in business. When it comes to business matters, if you feel that it is a business with uncertain profits and losses, it is best not to involve friends. This is right, but this kind of It’s a business that’s guaranteed to make a profit, and we’re being unkind if we don’t call our friends. But it doesn’t matter. If Miss Diezhang feels it’s really inappropriate, we’ll open a smaller wine shop. It’s just that the cost will be slightly higher, and we’ll need to stock up less wine. Earn less money, wait until a lot of money is settled, and we will discuss this matter. There is no need to worry at all."
Die Zhang seems to have fallen into a new entangled situation, worried that he has rejected the other party's real offer. Chen Ping'an would have a grudge in his heart.
Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: "Then it's settled, and we'll split the bill between 30 and 70?"
Die Zhang smiled and said, "It'll be 50 and 50 percent. Drinks and shops are indispensable. "
Chen Ping'an said: "I just put the tables, chairs and benches in the open space on the street. Isn't this also a wine shop?"
Die Zhang said: "I don't believe Ning Yao lost it. With this face, even if Ning Yao doesn't care, are you, Chen Pingan, really willing to give up?"
Chen Pingan was speechless.
Ning Yao was about to speak.
Die Zhang hurriedly said: "Ning Yao! We have been friends for so many years, but we can't forget our friends when we have a man!"
Ning Yao originally wanted to say that I would even help and yell. It doesn’t matter if you sell wine, do you still care about this?
Ning Yao couldn't bear it just because he said this in the mountains.
So I finally bargained and saw a 40-60 split.
The reason is that Chen Ping'an said that he had won four games in a row, which made this street famous. If he sells wine, it will be a gold-lettered signboard that costs no money and can attract drinkers.
Die Zhang really admires this guy's money-making skills and shamelessness.
However, Die Zhang finally asked: "Chen Ping'an, do you really not mind selling wine and earning such trivial money? Will it damage the face of the Ning family and the Yao family?"
Chen Pingan smiled and asked: "Miss Diezhang, have you forgotten my origin? I don't steal or rob, I don't cheat or cheat, it's all about earning a copper coin."
Ning Yao held back his laughter.
It is estimated that this guy who is obsessed with money will be able to sell the wine to the boss Jianxian once the shop opens but there is no sales and no one is willing to buy wine at first.
Die Zhang was silent for a long time and whispered: "I think our wine shop is quite a scam."
Chen Pingan waved his hand and said confidently: "The price is rightIt says there, if you want to buy it or not, you won’t have to worry about sales when the time comes. Whether it sells or not depends on our mood! ”
Diezhang felt a little relieved now.
Earning a lot of money to buy a house has always been Diezhang’s wish, but Diezhang himself also knew that he was really not good at making money.< /p>
Die Zhang thought that the deal was settled, and Chen Pingan and Ning Yao were about to return to Ning Mansion. Unexpectedly, Chen Pingan was already standing at the counter and took the abacus. Die Zhang said doubtfully: "Isn't it just a purchase? Stock up on wine? It's a very simple thing, but I can still do it. "
Chen Pingan looked shocked. This time he was really not pretending. He laughed angrily and said: "Is there such an easy deal in the world? ! Girl Diezhang, I regret partnering with you! Think about it, whoever you want to buy bulk wine from should choose some restaurants that are quiet and busy, right? When the time comes, how can we bargain down the price? How can we reduce the price if we buy too much? How can we talk to people and talk about ghosts without thinking about it first? How can we finalize the contract first, lest the other party regrets not selling wine if our store's business is good? Even if they don't sell, how can we compensate our store as agreed? No, there's nothing I can do. I turned around and put on my face, and you just watched. I'll show you first. What's more, these are just the rough things about buying wine with someone. Besides, when the shop is opened, which drinkers who look like passers-by are first invited to build up the momentum. Sword cultivators of any level are not allowed to distinguish between three, five, and six, privately. He promised to give them several pots of high-quality bamboo leaf wine that was hard to buy for free. It would be more appropriate to let some sword fairy take charge of it by blindly shouting that he wanted to buy the entire shop's wine, without leaving any trace, unlike that shill. , Don’t care about it. After making money, how can you settle accounts with alcoholic friends like Fatty Yan and Chen Sanqiu as brothers? We are a small business and must not keep accounts. We must have a charter early..."
Die Zhang lost all his energy and felt more and more guilty. Listening to Chen Ping'an talking endlessly across the counter, Die Zhang began to wonder if she was really not suitable for business.
What happened to her? Suddenly it felt much more difficult than practicing swordsmanship?
Ning Yao stood by the counter, smiling and eating melon seeds.
So in the end, Die Zhang timidly said: "Chen Ping'an. , let’s just divide it into 30-70. Just 70-70 for you and 30-30 for me. "
Chen Pingan was about to nod in agreement.
Ning Yao immediately hit him with an elbow. Chen Pingan immediately smiled and said: "No, no, no, it's a 50-50 split, it's agreed. In doing business, you still need to talk about integrity. "
Chen Ping'an turned sideways and gave Diezhang a wink. I am honest. Miss Diezhang, you have to show your sincerity. Why don't we each take a step back and divide the account between four and six.
Die Zhang nodded, and then said innocently to Ning Yao: "Ning Yao, Chen Ping'an winked at me secretly, I don't know what he meant. "
Chen Ping'an received another elbow, grinned and extended his thumb to Diezhang, "Miss Diezhang still has some sense in doing business. ”
We talked about many details again.
DiaozhangyiWrite it down carefully.
Chen Pingan and Ning Yao left the small grocery store and walked on the edge of the street. Chen Pingan passed the restaurants and bars and said with a smile: "From now on, we will all be enemies in the same industry."
Ning Yao whispered: "Thank you."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It should be."
Ning Yao hesitated and said: " Diezhang likes a gentleman from the Middle-earth Academy. Can you explain?"
Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and said: "I can help you, but I really can't do this kind of thing."
Ning Yao clasped his hands behind his back and praised leisurely: "Don't you understand the love between children very well?"
Chen Pingan said categorically: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I don't know anything about it!"
p>————
The small house hidden among the back alleys is filled with large wine jars. She doesn’t have enough capital, but Chen Pingan actually still has ten Guyu coins. Private money, but you can't be so stupid as to take out a grain rain coin to buy things, it is easy for others to raise the price to death, so I asked Ning Yao for a bunch of scattered snow money, and there are no restaurants where I can buy cheap and bad wine. After checking it with Chen Ping'an and Diezhang, the sales volume of these drinks in the streets and alleys of the Jianqi Great Wall will not be very good. This is the weird thing about the Jianqi Great Wall. Sword cultivators who can afford drinks are not willing to drink these. , unless you are an alcoholic swordsman who owes too much on credit and can't pay off your wine debt for the time being, you will hold your nose and drink these. However, the price of real Xianjia wine in restaurants is as high as that of a flying sword, far higher than that of a door away. The Sword Immortal would feel a lot of physical pain in the Upside Down Mountain. Nowadays, the entrance and exit of the Great Wall of Sword Qi in the Upside Down Mountain are strictly controlled, making life even more difficult.
Chen Pingan bent down and opened a wine jar. The wine bug was soaking in it, swimming leisurely like a small fish, drunk and enjoying himself very much.
Each vat of wine had to be soaked with wine bugs for three days before it was considered mellow. A few bamboo leaves and a bamboo branch were placed in it. They were not named Bamboo Leaf Green, which was first proposed by Diezhang, or Ning Yao. The suggested Zhuzhi wine was Chen Ping's final decision on Zhuhai Dongtian wine, also known as Qingshenshan wine.
Die Zhang, who was used to making money with conscience, was shocked and dumbfounded.
Chen Ping'an spoke earnestly at that time, saying that these bamboo leaves and branches he had were really produced in the Bamboo Sea Cave. As for whether they came from Qingshen Mountain, I could ask later when I have the chance. If not, , then when selling wine, I won’t mention that “alias”.
In addition to preparing to open a wine shop and sell wine to make money.
Chen Ping'an spends an unbeatable six hours refining his qi in Ning Mansion every day, and occasionally it lasts for seven or eight hours.
Ning Yao gave up the Dragon-Zhanying Pavilion and practiced swordplay more in the martial arts field of Jiezi Xiaotiandi.
When Chen Pingan was resting, he squatted at the foot of the hill with the sword and concentrated on sharpening the edge of the sword.
Occasionally Fatty Yan, Dong Heitan and the others would come here to sit for a while. Fatty Yan would seize the opportunity and make sure to let Chen Pingan observe his crazy magic boxing skills and ask if he was delayed by sword practice. Martial arts trainingOf course, Chen Ping'an nodded and said yes. Every time he said the reasons, they were never the same. Chen Sanqiu felt that they were more unbearable than Fatty Yan's boxing skills. Once, even Dong Heitan was really Unable to bear it anymore, he looked at the disgusting Fatty Yan on the martial arts field and asked Chen Pingan, are you telling the truth? Is Yan Zhuo really a martial arts genius? Chen Pingan smiled and said of course not, and Dong Heitan felt more comfortable. After Chen Sanqiu heard this, he sighed, covered his forehead, and lay down on the bench.
During this period, almost every day, a little girl with sleeves full of pastries came to the door of Ning Mansion, clamoring to learn from his master.
Once, Ning Yao was dragged into the house gate and beaten severely. He finally calmed down for a day. Unexpectedly, only one day later, the little girl came again, but this time she was smarter and shouted. She can run as soon as she gets it, and she can run back and forth several times a day. She has nothing to do anyway. Then he blocked Ning Yao's way, dragged her by the ear into the house, and asked the little girl to admire Fatty Yan who was boxing in the martial arts arena. He said that this was the boxing technique taught by Chen Ping'an. Do you want to learn it?
With tears in her eyes and trembling lips, the little girl said that even so, she still had to learn boxing.
The little girl wiped her tears silently and said with choked sobs that this is what her mother said. Only through hardship can one become a great person.
Ning Yao had no idea, so he asked Chen Pingan to take action in person. At that time, Chen Pingan was discussing a top priority with Grandma Bai and Grandpa Nalan. Ning Yao didn't say anything about it, so Chen Pingan had to follow confused. When he walked to the martial arts arena, he saw the little girl who bowed her head as soon as she saw him.
Not unfamiliar, among the four fights on the street, the little girl was the loudest, and it was difficult for him not to notice.
Chen Ping'an couldn't help a little girl casually, so he quickly moved away and said helplessly: "Don't kowtow yet, what is your name?"
The little girl quickly got up. , said loudly: "Guo Zhujiu!"
Chen Ping'an nodded, raised his left hand, pinched his fingers, and sighed: "Unfortunately, the names don't match, so I can't accept you as my disciple for the time being. Let's talk about it."
Guo Zhujiu said with a sincere face: "Master, how about I go back and ask my parents to change my name? I also think this name is not good, and I have been enduring it for many years."
p>Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "No, I will accept the disciple based on fate. The first time, I will look at the name first. If it doesn't work, it will take another three years. The second time, I will look at the time without looking at the name. When the time comes, There is still a chance."
Guo Zhujiu was very upset, stamped his feet, and ran away, shouting that he was going to look through the almanac and choose the auspicious day for himself in three years.
Yan Zhuo and Chen Sanqiu stood aside blankly, their eyes almost popping out when they saw each other.
Guo Zhujiu is a little weirdo. He has not been able to figure things out since he was a child. He is not stupid at all. He is an excellent innate sword embryo. He is hailed as the pillar of the future by the Guo family. He is not even smart at all, little girl. There were so many jokes, and they were simply the pistachios of Chen Sanqiu and his family on the street. When I was little, I loved running around with a sheet on my back.He walked from house to house, never going through the front door, just wandering on the roofs and walls. If he hadn't been beaten so many times by Dong Bu, he finally had some memory, otherwise he would probably still be like this now. There are also rumors that Mr. Yin Guan is actually Two candidates were selected, besides Pang Yuanji, it was Guo Zhujiu.
Chen Pingan was obviously in disbelief, "Is this possible?"
Chen Sanqiu smiled bitterly and said:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)< /p>
"Whether it works or not depends on whether Guo Zhujiu comes tomorrow."
Chen Pingan looked at Ning Yao.
Ning Yao said: "It's hard to say."
Chen Pingan didn't think much and continued to discuss matters with the two seniors.
Of course Chen Pingan will not rush the boss Jianxian to go to the Yao family to propose marriage as a matchmaker.
In Chen Ping'an's wing, Aunt Bai asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's still that little girl Guo Zhujiu who wants to learn from her. Yi, you fooled me."
Nalan Yexing joked: "It's actually not bad to have more registered disciples for nothing."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said with a bitter smile. Big things should not be trifled with."
Aunt Bai said: "The Guo family and our Ning family have been friends for a long time."
Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment. , looking at Aunt Bai with a somewhat inquiring look.
Aunt Bai nodded and said: "He is the only one. After the master passed away, the Guo family came to Ning Mansion to pay homage. Later, when it came to killing the Dragon Cliff, the head of the Guo family faced the Qi family swordsman. I agree. Otherwise, if it were other girls who were fooling around like this, our lady wouldn’t have dragged her into the house twice. But there is really no need to take it seriously.”
Chen Ping’an said solemnly. I’ll give it some serious thought about Guo Zhujiu.”
Nalan Yexing said with a smile, “There’s no hurry about these things. Let’s talk about Mr. Chen’s fourth natal object, the Changsheng Bridge. Only then will Mr. Chen truly understand what it means to be a swordsman. After that, one can become a swordsman even if he is not an innate swordsman. Don't underestimate the word "reluctantly". As a Qi practitioner, you can become a swordsman. That's the biggest difference. For the reason, Mr. Chen can ask the boss Sword Immortal in private. "————
One morning, the Great Wall of Sword Qi was renovated. A shabby wine shop was opened, and the shopkeeper was the young one-armed female swordsman, Lai Sheng.
Standing next to him was the young man in a green shirt. After setting off a large number of extremely noisy firecrackers with his own hands, he smiled brightly and clasped his fists in all directions.
If Diezhang was not the manager of the wine shop in name only, there would be no turning back and she had already spent all her money. She actually wanted to stay in the shop, just pretending that the wine shop had nothing to do with her. It's worth half a copper coin.
Tables and stools were placed in front of the two of them.
Ning Yao and Yan Zhuo were hiding in a shop filled with large and small wine jars and jugs, even with faces like Fatty Yan’sThick-skinned people like Dong Heitan, who don’t know what shame is, all of them were really embarrassed to walk out at this moment.
On the main street, the street surface has just been renovated and smoothed. The shopkeepers of the large and small restaurants are standing in front of their respective doors, cursing.
Because there was a couplet hanging outside the door of the little shabby shop, which was said to have been written by the young warrior himself.
The sword fairy has a three-foot sword. He looks around at a loss. Where is his opponent? The hero is lonely.
Two ounces of wine in a cup will help you to sell away all the sorrows of the ages. Once you get drunk, you will rest. Money is nothing.
Good guy, you pure martial artist Chen Ping'an, can you, a foreigner like you, please have some face?
This is nothing. I heard that that small shop still sells drinks related to the Tianqing Mountain in Zhuhai Cave!
What is money?
If it really doesn’t matter, how much money can you make by opening a fucking shop?
On both sides of the street, whistles were heard.
Diezhang was a thin-skinned person after all. Sweat was dripping from his forehead and his face was tense. He tried his best not to show his timidity, but couldn't help but asked softly: "Chen Pingan, can we really sell half a jar of wine?" ”
Chen Pingan smiled and said: “Even if no one really supports me, if I follow my established rules, I will still have nothing to worry about and make money. Before that, of course, if someone comes to buy wine. It’s better. It’s early in the morning and there are fewer customers, which is normal.”
After burning incense, there were still no customers, and Dieshang became more and more worried.
Chen Pingan shouted at the top of his lungs: "Open the door and get a jar of wine, 50% off! This is the only jar, first come, first served."
Then someone really came.
Die Zhang asked in confusion: "He is also the person you invited?"
Chen Ping'an was also a little surprised and shook his head: "Of course not."
Come here That person is Pang Yuanji.
He sat on a bench and said with a smile: "Get the cheapest one, and remember to get another 50% off."
Chen Pingan turned around and looked Diezhang was dumbfounded and chuckled: "What are you doing standing still? The boss personally served the wine to the table."
Diezhang quickly took a jar of "Bamboo Sea Dongtian Wine" and a big white bowl , placed it on the table in front of Pang Yuanji, helped to remove the mud seal of the wine jar that had been in place for a few days, and poured a bowl of wine for Pang Yuanji. She really felt that her conscience was uneasy, she squeezed out a smile and said in a voice like a mosquito: " Guest, please drink slowly."
Then Chen Pingan took an extra wine bowl, sat at Pang Yuanji's table, picked up the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine, and said with a smile: "Yuanji. Brother, thank you for your support. I must give you a bowl. With Brother Yuanji’s ability as a prime minister, I’ll drink it first as a token of my respect!”
Die Zhang looked at it and wanted to dig a hole in the ground. How can any wine seller drink from his own customers?
Pang Yuanji waited for Chen Pingan to finish drinking, and then poured another bowl of wine for Chen Pingan, but it was not full. It was just a small jar of wine. How many bowls can he drink? Fortunately, the white bowls carefully selected by this shop are not big, so the amount of wine seems to be sufficient.
Pang Yuanji regretted sitting here. The business will be deserted in the future. If there are too many people drinking, he will have to curse him to death. Holding the wine bowl, he lowered his head and sniffed. It was really a bit fairy. The meaning of homemade wine is better than expected, but this jar of wine only costs one snowflake. Is the price too low? With such a taste, in restaurants elsewhere in Jianqi Great Wall, you should have started with just a few cents. Pang Yuanji only knew one thing, not to mention his own Jianqi Great Wall, there was no wine seller in the world who lost money.
Chen Ping'an and Pang Yuanji clashed their wine bowls, and each drank down the wine in one gulp.
Then Chen Pingan went to bring out a jar of wine, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "It's half price. For two jars of wine, I only charge Brother Yuanji a piece of snow money."
Pang Yuanji drank the wine in the bowl and found that the wine tasted just fine, so he tolerated it.
Pang Yuanji drank a jar of wine, picked up the jar and almost had to be "helped" by Chen Ping'an to open the mud-sealed wine, took a piece of snow money, got up and left, saying he would come back next time .
Die Zhang wiped her forehead and took the snow money from Chen Pingan's hand. She smiled brightly.
Then after about half an hour, when I was in Dieshang and started to worry about the store's "financial progress" again, I saw another customer coming to the ground floating in the wind. I couldn't help but turn around and look at him. To Chen Pingan.
She found that Chen Pingan was a little nervous after he said "It was still an accident"?
The visitor is the Fengxue Temple Sword Immortal Wei Jin from Aquarius Continent like Chen Pingan.
Wei Jin ordered a pot of the most expensive wine. Five snowflakes cost a small pot, and a bamboo leaf was placed in the pot.
Wei Jin was not in a hurry to drink, and asked with a smile: "Is she okay?"
Chen Ping'an was on pins and needles, but he couldn't pretend to be stupid, after all, the other party was Wei Jin, so he had to smile bitterly Said: "She should be considered very good. Now she has become the head of a sect, but I was almost killed by her in the Ghost Valley."
You, Wei Jin, are here to cause trouble, right?
As for He Xiaoliang, the earliest female crown of the Shen Gao Sect and later the leader of the Qingliang Sect, Chen Ping'an did not hide anything from Ning Yao and told all the causes and consequences.
Fortunately, Ning Yao did not show any anger about this. He only said that He Xiaoliang went too far and that he would like to meet her for a while if there is a chance in the future.
But Wei Jin didn't open any pot today, and Chen Ping'an still had a chill down his spine. He always felt that there was a strong sword energy in the shop.
Wei Jin drank a bowl of wine and asked again: "Does she really like you?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I don't know."
Wei Jin nodded, poured another bowl of wine, drank it all, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is busy first, there is no need to greet the guests."
In the end, Wei Jin sat alone Over there, the drinking slowed down, but didn’t stop either.
Most of the infatuated men in the world like to drink the heart-breaking wine. The person who really cuts the heart with a knife is always the sweetheart who is not beside the wine bowl.
Chen Pingan squattedOn the other side of the door, with my back to the shop, I couldn't smile when I rarely made money, but I was very worried.
Because when Wei Jin drank his third bowl of wine, he took a small summer coin and said that when he drinks in the future, he will deduct it from this small summer coin.
Fatty Yan and Chen Sanqiu were very sensible and didn’t say a word more.
But Dong Heitan, who was dumbfounded, said, "I think there is a story here."
Chen Pingan finally understood why Fatty Yan and Chen Sanqiu were sometimes so afraid of Dong Heitan speaking. Every word he flew with his sword could really kill someone.
Wei and Jin had not yet gotten up and left. Chen Pingan quickly got up as if he had been pardoned.
It turns out that the little girl Guo Zhujiu dragged several of her peers over to cheer her up.
Guo Zhujiu got straight to the point and said directly to Chen Pingan that there is no three hundred taels of silver here. He respectfully called Chen Pingan "Master in three years" and continued: "My friends and I are all I just found out that a wine shop opened here, so I came here to buy some drinks and go back to honor my parents and elders! Master, I really don’t have to drag them here after three years!"
Then! Guo Zhujiu gave them a look.
Those little girls who were knocked on the door by Guo Zhujiu in the middle of the night yesterday to remind them not to forget this matter were listless. They gave money to buy wine, held it obediently, and then waited for Guo Zhujiu to give orders. .
They really don’t care about earning those three snow coins from Guo Zhujiu.
This has bothered Guo Zhujiu for many days.
Some people wanted to give Guo Zhujiu six snowflakes directly, but she didn’t accept it either, insisting on collecting the head.
In the end, Guo Zhujiu also spent three snow coins to buy a bottle of wine, and explained: "Master, after three years, they will all pay for it from their own pockets!"
< p>Chen Ping'an said seriously: "I'll do the math and it will be halved in three years. After one and a half years, we can see if it is suitable to accept a disciple."Guo Zhujiu holds the pot in one hand and the other in the other. He clenched his fist, waved it vigorously, and said happily: "Today is indeed an auspicious day to buy wine! I really didn't memorize that old almanac in vain!"
With Pang Yuanji, Wei Jin, and these little girls They cheered one after another.
The wine shop has a business.
Looking at the situation, it is not difficult to protect capital.
This was enough to make Die Zhang overjoyed.
Diezhang gradually became busy.
As for selling wine, it was agreed in advance that Dieshang would have to put more effort into it. Chen Ping'an couldn't keep an eye on this place every day.
Inexplicably, Dong Heitan has been taken away by Chen Sanqiu and Fatty Yan.
Ning Yao leaned against the counter inside the shop, nibbling on melon seeds and looking at Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan asked tentatively: "Are you not angry?"
Ning Yao said: "How is that possible."
Chen Pingan said with a sad face: "In the end How could he not be angry, or how could he not be angry?"
Ning Yao Biao.Blinking his eyes, "Guess."
Chen Ping'an lamented, "I'll open a bottle of wine myself and keep the account."
Ning Yao suddenly laughed and said: "He Xiao Who is Liang worth being angry about?"
Chen Pingan stood in front of her and asked softly: "Do you know why I am not depressed at all after losing to Cao Ci?"
Ning Yao asked: "Why?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Because Ning Yao is too lazy to remember who Cao Ci is."
Then Chen Pingan also leaned against the counter , looking at the drinkers outside the wine table, "After seeing you, the poor boy who grew up in Mud Bottle Alley has never been short of money."
Ning Yao looked at him more and more unhappily. Hidden smile, she stopped eating melon seeds and asked: "Are you laughing at me now for my short-mindedness?"
Chen Pingan immediately put away his smile, and then immediately realized that he was no smarter than the little girl. , the same thing is that there is no three hundred taels of silver here.
It’s just that Ning Yao handed over his palm, and Chen Pingan grabbed some melon seeds.
Ning Yao chewed melon seeds and said: "I am not angry if such and such a woman likes you."
After a moment, Ning Yao said: "But if you like me one day If you are a woman outside of China, I will be very sad. If that day comes, you don’t need to say sorry to me, let alone come to see me and tell me this kind of thing in person. I don’t want to hear it.”
Chen. Ping An stretched out his hand to hold Ning Yao's head and shook it gently, "Don't think wildly. It may be difficult for me to become a person with a high level of cultivation in this life. There is always a mountain higher. I can only work hard and work hard to complete the agreement step by step. , but Chen Pingan is definitely the person who likes Ning Yao the most in the world. There is no need to work hard on this matter. "
————
The business of the wine shop is getting better and better. The better.
That Chen Pingan became the hands-off shopkeeper instead.
Every time I go to the shop, I mostly chat with those little kids, and I hold a small bench and borrow the little book with the children to read.
Occasionally Chen Pingan will teach them how to read.
Later, the young man in green shirt, who was full and had no money to earn, left a Ning Mansion Dragon-Slaying Platform instead of seizing the opportunity, and quickly tempered his spiritual energy, but he wanted to run away. He went to the streets and alleys to carve monuments and collected a large pile of paper. Then he often sat under the sun and told a group of children stories about mountains, rivers and ghosts, and became a storyteller.
Later, when a child asked about words he didn’t recognize, the young man took out a bamboo branch and wrote on the ground. He just explained the words briefly and said nothing else, even if the children When asked more questions, the young man just smiled and shook his head. After being taught how to read, he started talking about all the strange things and things he had seen in the world in his hometown.
One day, a young man in a blue shirt with no hosta on his head was basking in the warm sunshine of a foreign land. He taught some words and told some stories. He placed a bamboo branch across his knees and recited softly: " When the sun rises, there is light, and the fur is wet."
Seeing the man stop, a child asked curiously: "What happens next?? Any more? "
The man put his hands on his knees, looked forward, and said slowly: "At the time of the Waking of Insects, the heaven and earth sprout, and all things begin to flourish. Lying down at night and walking early, walking widely in the courtyard, a gentleman walks slowly in order to develop his ambition..."
No one among the children surrounding that bench and that person could understand what was being said. But I am willing to listen quietly to the man reciting it quietly.
In the remote streets and alleys of the Great Wall of Jianqi, it is like an extra elementary school with no real masters and no real children.
