Chapter 458 Distorted Values
Brother Monkey explained: "We will be away from home for a few years in the future. If there is a place with glass in your place or in the old house in the future, just use it.
Don't be reluctant to use this thing just because outsiders think it's valuable. If I want it, I can refine it myself, and I can make it as much as I want. It's just a matter of spending some time. "
Only then did Xiao Wuye agree.
Qin thought about it for a moment and said, "If you have time, come over and help us install it. Leave the rest of the glass at the old house. In this county, if people know that we have so much glass in our house, if they come to ask for it, that's it." Should I give it or not? Even if people in the village know that we have this thing and know that it is precious, they won’t even think about dressing up."
The fifth master said hurriedly: "Your fifth aunt is still thoughtful."
The group had breakfast, Yan Yonglou and Lingze were going to the school, Qin was going to the pastry workshop, and Qixun and the fifth brother and sister were going to pick up the carriage from the fifth master's house.
The group of people went out together. Brother Monkey followed his fifth uncle and whispered: "Fifth uncle, nephew, I am the most filial to you. I have left five jars of good wine for you and put them in the cabinet of the warehouse. We Before entering Beijing, I will definitely leave some wine for you. I will bury the wine in the back garden of my house, and when you want to drink it, you can take the time to dig it out."
Uncle Yan Yonglou was greatly relieved, forget it, this boy is naughty or filial.
The group of people said goodbye at the intersection.
When Uncle Wu and his family disappeared, Lingsu took out the banknotes and gave one to each of his siblings: "Aunt Wu gave us the share for the first half of the year... The five of us will share half of it, and the other half will be given to my mother when we return to Beijing."
Qixun took the two hundred taels of silver notes and asked in surprise: "Has Fifth Aunt's dim sum shop already made so much money?"
Each of their brothers and sister has two hundred, which is one thousand. There is also one thousand left for the mother. In these six months, it is two thousand taels.
This is only the net profit of the third layer.
In other words, in half a year, the dim sum shop’s profit was as much as six to seven thousand taels!
Awesome, my aunt!
Lingsu smiled and said: "The fifth aunt has opened more than ten shops now, and most of them were newly opened a year ago. They made a good time in the New Year, so there are so many. But she said that the second half of the year will not be bad. , The business of the shops in Fucheng is very good, and we will open a few more stores. If everything goes well, maybe there will be more in the second half of the year."
Qixun feels that his family's values are a bit distorted.
After two thousand taels of silver, I felt that my fifth aunt was powerful. After getting two hundred taels of silver, I was extremely happy.
But the second brother has so much glass, not just this little money? No one cares.
Lingyu said: "You cannot use the means by which monks create value to measure the means by which ordinary people make money."
This is true. Just like the Tianjian Sect and his team are obviously poor, but they don't want to spend time looking for some jewelry to make money.
So Aunt Five is really awesome.
The group went to pick up the carriage from Mr. Xiao Wu. Seeing that Mr. Wu was not there, they only greeted the two heroes Chuangpangdun and Ma Ganer. Then they drove the carriage and went to Rende Hall first. They met Chen Old man, bring me some food and go straight to the county government office.
Li Xingjian, the county magistrate, is busy with summer tax matters and is not at the county government office.
In the county government house, it was Mrs. Li who received the four brothers and sisters.
After seeing the ceremony, Li Chu felt very resentful.
Qixun had no choice but to coax him. It wasn't that he had forgotten about him, but that the family was busy with farming and had many things to do. Didn't he come to see him as soon as he was done?
Mrs. Li glared at her son.
When this boy came back, he paid tribute to many good things and became a real monk. This made the couple very happy. Although those gifts were hard to find, no matter how precious the gift was, it would not be more joyful to be a parent than if the son had a future. .
The reason why his son is as successful as he is today is all due to the guidance of the children of the Yan family.
She didn't know how grateful she was.
It was also my husband who had a keen eye for recognizing talents and fell in love with these children.
Having said that, although the son is worthy of being brothers to these children, he is actually a master and apprentice. Moreover, I heard from my son that Hao'er has granted his son the title of registered disciple. From now on, this boy can no longer be the same as before, no big or small.
Mrs. Li said angrily: "Chu'er, you can't be like this in the future. Even if your master and the others dote on you, you can't be ignorant of etiquette."
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
Master or something, Brother Monkey was embarrassed, and he quickly said: "Aunt, you don't have to be like this, Chu'er is just fine like this. We are brothers, so there really is no need to be too particular."
Mrs. Li waved her hand: "That can't be done. Whenever you respect your teacher and respect your teachings, you should always respect them. Courtesy should not be wasted."
Brother Monkey was actually the most impatient with these red tapes. He was really afraid that one day Li Xiaochu would actually call him master one by one, so he quickly changed the topic and asked him why Uncle Li Shi was not in the county government office.
"I'm going to the countryside. I have to keep an eye on the summer tax matters. I also want to see if the summer planting in each village is going well. In addition, road construction in two more townships has begun. I have to go and see if the quality and quantity are guaranteed, so that I can rest assured. "
Speaking of which, Li Shishu is really a competent county magistrate.
Not only has he never been greedy for a single penny, but all the property he obtained through deceit and abduction has been spent on the construction of the entire county.
Of course, this is also because he comes from a good background and has no shortage of money.
However, even if he is poor, with his temperament, he will never become a corrupt official.
This is something that one cannot help but admire.
Brother Monkey decided to give him Li Shishu to add another political achievement.
"Auntie, when Uncle Li Shi is finished, send me a message. I have something to ask him about."
Isn’t it that the county has been building roads?
Brother Monkey felt that it was time to bring cement to the world.
Although this kind of thing cannot be controlled by any individual, not even the family, it must be controlled by the court. However, the county minister can present the method of making cement to the court.
As for his father Long, he is destined to take an unusual official career, so he does not need this credit.
Moreover, even though the cement technology was contributed by Li Shishu, the credit for inventing this technology still belongs to his own family.
If in the future the land transportation in Daxia is as developed as the water transportation, how much blessing will this bring to the people in the inland areas?
Mrs. Li said hurriedly: "He will probably have to come back in the next two days. He has been away for six or seven days. I will ask him to go to Yanjia Village by then. He just happened to be talking about wanting to see the hundreds of acres of land your family has. It’s the experimental field.”
After talking for a while, Mrs. Li left the brothers and sisters to have lunch at their house, and went to the kitchen to make arrangements herself.
Brother Monkey checked Li Xiaochu's practice and was satisfied when he saw that this kid had broken through the second level of Qi training as scheduled and his practice was quite stable. It could be seen that he had not stopped practicing these days and was still very diligent.
"I just made a breakthrough, so I'm not in a hurry to improve my cultivation. You need to be steady and steady when it comes to cultivation. You can practice some small spells to strengthen your control of spiritual power."
Li Xiaochu naturally agreed.
Brother Monkey taught him a few small spells in the early stage of Qi refining.
Li Xiaochu took note of it carefully.
Brother Monkey said again: "Are you going back to Yanjia Village with us this time, or are you staying in the county?"
Li Chu actually wanted to go to Yanjia Village, not only for spiritual practice, but also for asking his brothers and sisters for advice at any time. Life in the countryside was much more interesting than in the county town.
He can't drop his cultural classes, but he doesn't have a teacher dedicated to teaching him now, and his father is very busy. And he always felt that Sister Lingyu's lectures were simpler and easier to understand than his father's lectures.
