Be a little landlord

Huang Yuan is a tall, thin, ordinary-looking poor scholar with mediocre knowledge. He is still a boy so far. Now his family cannot afford to go to school and cannot study. He can only set up a small stall under this stone bridge to make ends meet. He sells calligraphy, and he can’t sell his broken calligraphy at all. His actual business is to write letters, IOUs and other documents for others. Fortunately, there are not many literate people in the middle and lower classes. You can also make a living from this.

He was in such a state of embarrassment. If he saw a classmate who had a good reputation in the past, he would not dare to say hello, but... Lin Lixuan is too special. He has heard about it in the past two years, and he will only meet Lin Lixuan here today. Surprised blurted out and called him to stop...

Moreover, judging from his current appearance, he doesn't look like a good guy. Facing poor scholars like him, Huang Yuan has always had the confidence to communicate with them.

Huang Yuan was very curious, he looked at Lin Lixuan carefully up and down, suspicious of what happened to him in the past few years, but after all, it is not easy to ask about other people's private affairs, so he only inquired about the news: "Brother Lin, where are you going?" ?”

Lin Lixuan said indifferently: "Songyun Bookstore."

"You are going to buy books." Huang Yuan clapped his hands suddenly, and then he had a question in his heart: "But why do you go this way to the bookstore?" I will come around this stone bridge, but don't I just go the wrong way?

Lin Lixuan didn't want to buy books, but he didn't want to explain too much. He pointed to his origin: "I'm from there. I haven't been to the county for a long time. I'm just looking around."

"That's it." Huang Yuan nodded, he shook his head and thought for a while: "However, what has changed in the county, it is similar to the previous few years."

Huang Yuan still wants to talk to Lin Lixuan about something, but who knows—"If we have time, we can... Hey, Aunt Yao is here, and I promise to help her write a family letter for her nephew. Let's not talk, go buy books .” After finishing speaking, he quickly ran back to his stall, and sure enough, there was a woman in a green skirt waiting for him.

No amount of gossip can block the way of making money.

Songyun Bookstore is the largest bookstore in the county, and it is also well-known in Quanshui County. You can come here to buy any book you need, but if compared with the modern bookstore, it is nothing.

The owner behind the bookstore is said to have a deep background. He used to be an official. After resigning from office, he lived in seclusion in this small county town to run a bookstore business, benefiting a group of students.

Songyun Bookstore not only sells books but also engraves them. It is precisely because of this that Lin Lixuan considered writing novels to make money.

Lin Lixuan took out a few pages of the manuscript that he had brought from his sleeve pocket. The content of the manuscript was carefully selected and revised by him. He chose the most interesting passage and copied it neatly on the white paper. Moreover, he also cut the content of the manuscript to an abrupt end at the most exciting part of the story in an extremely malicious manner. The suspense arose abruptly and the plot was ups and downs. I am sure that after someone reads it, they will not be able to help but want to continue reading.

The bookstore is located at the intersection of East Street, an extremely conspicuous location. When Lin Lixuan raised his head, he could see the red lacquered signboard with the words "Songyun Bookstore". Written by a calligrapher, the shop is not too big, and from a distance, you can see the shelves full of blue books bound with yellow thread. .

Lin Lixuan walked into the bookstore, and he smelled a unique fragrance of ink as soon as he entered the door. He looked around for a while, but there were no other guests in the bookstore at this time except him, only a clerk was sitting on a small stool at the door, feeling dizzy. After sleeping, seeing him, he cheered up a little and got ready to welcome the guests.

There was a flattering smile on the guy's face: "Guest officer, what book do you want to buy?"

"Are you accepting manuscripts?" Lin Lixuan raised his eyes and asked.

As soon as he heard his words, the guy understood that he was not here to buy books, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared without a trace. I'm a big customer, it's boring, the guy pointed to a place in the corner indifferently, "Put the manuscript there, the boss will read it when he comes back."

The guy is illiterate, and he doesn't care about their scholars writing books. He only cares about how much money he can earn a day, and his wages can only increase if he can sell one more book. What else has anything to do with him? What about the relationship?If a rich family sent someone over to say that they wanted to print a few family books about discipleship, he would happily receive them. Those like Lin Lixuan who came to make money from manuscripts had nothing to do with him.

After coming out of the bookstore, Lin Lixuan wandered around again, memorized the terrain and route of the county, and when he returned to Xishikou, he saw a handsome young man standing beside two baskets, looking around, waiting for him. The young man waited and waited for Lin Lixuan to come back, he couldn't help feeling more and more flustered, but when he saw Lin Lixuan's Qingjun figure walking towards him, his eyes lit up, and he waved to Lin Lixuan with a long sigh of relief.

After a while, Lin Lixuan walked up to the boy, "I kept you waiting."

As soon as Brother Yan saw Lin Lixuan, he felt relieved. He started to regret after selling the vegetables. He should follow Brother Lin. Lin Lixuan's body has just recovered, and Zhao Liniang asked herself to take good care of him. If he lost it, how could he explain to Zhao Liniang?

Brother Yan said in a low voice: "Brother Lin, it's good that you come back, I'm still afraid..."

Lin Lixuan smiled at him: "Afraid I won't remember the way back?...Don't worry, I'm not stupid anymore."

"Is the food sold out?"

Brother Yan nodded. Except for some bad-looking ones that no one really wanted, they were all sold out. The young man lowered his head and handed the string of copper coins in his hand to Lin Lixuan. He has carefully counted all the income from selling vegetables many times. When Lin Lixuan was waiting, he had nothing to do, so he held the pile of copper coins, lifted the copper plates with his thumbnail, and fiddled with them one by one like a monk twisting Buddhist beads. .

"You don't need to give it to me, you can take it yourself." Lin Lixuan couldn't help smiling knowingly when he saw the young man handing him the copper plate like a treasure, and handed over the oiled paper bag in his hand to the young man.

Ji Yan asked suspiciously: "What is this?" The oil paper was warm, and there was a strong aroma, the glutton in Brother Yan's stomach was instantly aroused, and he swallowed hard.

"It's almost noon, are you hungry? I bought four buns, I will eat two, you will eat two, I have already eaten mine, so you can eat these two while they are still hot. "In fact, Lin Lixuan only bought three steamed buns, and he ate one. He knew the boy's big appetite, and thought that two could satisfy the boy. He was afraid that the boy would not dare to eat it, so he had to say that he also ate two.

It's meat buns... "It's not worth the money." The young man frowned, feeling a little distressed. One meat bun costs five yuan, and four are twenty yuan. After buying the buns, their money for selling vegetables today has shrunk a lot. ...Brother Lin is really not in charge of the family and doesn't know how expensive the firewood is, what should we do with such extravagance...

Brother Yan thought a little distressed.

"What are you doing with a bitter face? Eat it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold." Lin Lixuan pushed the buns over. He hasn't tasted the smell of fresh meat since he came here. The craving for meat is tight, and fresh meat from the pork shop can't be bought, but a few meat buns can still be bought to satisfy the craving.

The owner of the meat buns here is quite honest, with thick skin and lots of meat. The steaming buns overflow with juice and aroma, and Brother Yan almost couldn't resist: "I still don't want to eat, go home and eat brown rice The rice is enough, take the steamed stuffed bun home and feed it to your mother."

What a filial and good boy...

"Don't worry, I bought some pastries for my mother, and the buns won't taste good when they're cold."

The young man frowned as if he was eating a cold steamed bun that was as hard as a rock, and he ate the buns one bite at a time. The anxious and troubled look made Lin Lixuan feel that he was forcing the young man to take poison.

The young man said in a low voice: "In the future... can you not spend money randomly..."

The sweet and soft glutinous bun skin was eaten into the mouth, and the tender and juicy meat filling...but the boy didn't feel the slightest. This is not eating buns...this is eating copper coins!

After chewing, I can only feel the crisp sound of copper plates in the gap between the teeth...

The boy frowned, distressed.

Is this a waste of money?Lin Lixuan was amused by Brother Yan's distressed expression.

"Okay, let's eat quickly, we will go back after eating."

By the time they returned to Bixi Village, it was already past noon. For Lin Lixuan, this trip to the county was very rewarding. He had a general understanding of the situation in the county and the prices in this world. Finally, the most important thing for him is - after going to the county this time, Zhao Liniang seems to think that he has fully recovered, and finally no longer detains him at home.

Lin Lixuan is not a person who does not eat the grains of the world. After coming to the Lin family, he has never assumed the attitude of a rich young master in his previous life. Since he has fallen into a snake, he will do what this identity should do in a down-to-earth manner. He can't learn farming for a while. , Physical strength is not supported, but he is still willing to learn how to water, feed the chickens, and hoe the vegetable garden.

Lin Lixuan squatted in front of the vegetable field in front of his house, pulling out the weeds carefully. If he saw insects, he had to grab them out with his hands. Without pesticides, the only advantage is that it is pure natural and pollution-free.

He pulled out a tough weed and threw it aside, but when he looked up, he saw a small, thin figure at the door.
