Dozens of water signs are placed in front of you, and the names of the dishes are all very noble, but you can't figure out what they are.
Gu Changan asked Li Qiu quietly: "Do you want to eat meat or be vegetarian?"
Li Qiu said without hesitation: "Meat."
She eats enough vegetarian food at Zhang's house, so why should she be vegetarian when she can go out to have a big meal?
Gu Changan chuckled: "We are the same."
He ordered more than a dozen dishes in one go, all of which were big fish and meat, and he specially picked the most expensive ones in the store.
The waiter in the shop became more and more attentive and quickly made a pot of good tea: "Sir, what does this Taoist priest eat?"
Gu Changan waved his hand nonchalantly: "If there is that bad food gang in the store, just cook it and serve it to him."
"Is this...isn't this bad?"
"It's okay. This Taoist priest is practicing and can't eat anything else."
The waiter showed an expression of admiration and hurriedly went to give instructions to the chef.
"Fellow Taoist Gu, there is no need to be like this," Nan Feng shouted bitterly, "Practitioners can also eat meat. Only by eating meat can they have the strength to continue practicing."
After a while, the dishes were served one after another.
The table was full, and three people couldn't finish it all.
"Eat!" Gu Changan greeted Li Qiu very attentively, "If you can't finish it, let's take it home. You don't have to eat bran-thick vegetables at Zhang's house tomorrow. Come to my place and let's heat it up. It will last for two or three days. .”
Nan Feng rolled his eyes: "Jiu Tian, what kind of vegetables can last for two or three days?"
"What do you think you can do? Let me help you eat your rotten food!"
When the waiter brought the vegetables to the table, he specifically said it was a gift from the store and asked Nanfeng to eat it without charge. If it was not enough, he would take another basket back with him when he left.
A table full of delicacies, with a bunch of vegetables sandwiched between them, is very eye-catching.
At first, Nanfeng thought of himself as a cultivator, but he was so disgusted that he didn't want to touch meat.
He held less than half a cup of tea, so he held bamboo chopsticks and fought with Gu Changan for it, as if he hadn't eaten in a few lifetimes.
After eating and drinking, Nanfeng took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and solemnly advised Gu Changan: "Fellow Taoist Gu, listen to my advice..."
"If you don't have money to give me, don't persuade me."
Li Qiu was deeply relieved that Brother Changan was getting married to her, so she became more prudent and would never do anything without money.
It's not because I'm greedy for money, it's because there are so many ways to spend money after getting married.
Several collapsed rooms in the house need to be repaired, especially the kitchen. Now that the weather is warm, I can make do with cooking in the shed. But when the weather gets cold and there is heavy snow, the shed will be drafty from all sides. Cooking a meal can freeze someone to death.
There is also a collapsed courtyard wall, which needs to be put up as soon as possible. Even if it is not to guard against thieves, it must be guarded against Zhang You and his disgusting family.
A hoe for plowing the ground, a hoe for hoeing, a sickle, a rake... you have to buy all of these, as well as seeds and seedlings, pots and pans... Which of these are free of charge?
Who cares about having too much money to live a good life?
Now Gu Changan knows that making money is a good thing.
If two people work hard together, they will always have a better life.
Nanfeng was not happy anymore: "Money is something external to the body. Fellow Taoist Gu is always thinking about money. In this way, when will he attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven?"
Gu Changan didn't even raise his head: "How can you become an immortal if you don't have money? You can ascend to heaven faster if you die poor than if you become an immortal."
"Are you willing to follow me to enlightenment as long as I give you money?"
"How much?"
Nanfeng's interest suddenly rose: "Gu Daoyou, I have a big job for you to do here. I will live in Laojun Temple permanently in the future, but many houses in Laojun Temple are in disrepair. The one I stayed in last night That house is leaking, and if it rains a few more times, the house might collapse, so I want to find someone to repair the Laojun Temple and take care of two meals a day, and I will pay the wages."
Li Qiu did a quick calculation in his mind.
Repairing the Laojun Temple is indeed a big job, and it will take a year and a half.
If you really want to take this job, the wages will be quite high.
As for practicing Taoism...
She glanced at Gu Changan.
Looking at Brother Chang'an's character, he doesn't look like someone who can devote himself to cultivating Taoism. Maybe Nanfeng will be led by Brother Chang'an to return to secular life.
She looked at Gu Changan, who was also looking at her: "Liqiu, what do you think?"
"Brother Chang'an, I'm a woman, so I don't know this. But I think it's good to work and make money during the slack time. But brother Chang'an, have you ever repaired a house before? Although making money is important, it's not just money. We can do it. It’s profitable, if you want to take this job, you have to think about it carefully.”
Gu Changan lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Taoist priest, I'll take this job. I'll go to Laojun Temple to find you tomorrow and agree on wages and other things."
He then said to Li Qiu: "Don't worry, I will go to Uncle Gu and Uncle Gu to discuss it."
Li Qiu nodded secretly.
Brother Chang'an doesn't act recklessly. He knows how much he weighs and is never greedy. This is better than many people.
When Gu Changan took over this job, he was happiest than Nanfeng.
"That's right. Fellow Daoist Gu, it's best to find more people. You don't have to do anything, just be the supervisor. Just come and listen to my sermons every day."
Nan Feng was too showy, and Li Qiu was very worried. She quickly persuaded Gu Changan while Nan Feng went to pay.
"Brother Chang'an, the man's family is making money outside to support the family. Logically speaking, I, a woman, should not have to take care of it, but I am really afraid that you will be deceived by Taoist Master Nanfeng. He is not a serious Taoist priest at first glance. , maybe he is doing some clandestine business secretly."
"He can't deceive me. I, Gu Changan, can't be deceived so easily. The person who wants to deceive me hasn't been born yet."
He took Li Qiu's hand and got on the donkey cart: "We don't need to worry about that smelly Taoist priest. We should go and take care of our own matters first."
The two soon arrived at Tongbao Bank.
Gu Changan took out his seal. The second shopkeeper took a look at it, then pulled out a ledger and reconciled it with Gu Changan.
"Mr. Gu has deposited a total of sixteen taels of silver with us, and the interest is two hundred and seventeen large sums. Mr. Gu, do your calculations and see if it is this amount."
Gu Changan nodded after summing up, and then asked the second shopkeeper: "Isn't the money too much to marry a wife?"
The second shopkeeper looked at the clothes of Gu Changan and Li Qiu, and smiled: "It depends on how Mr. Gu wants to get married. It's simple. The money is enough, and you can still have a lot more to live. If you want to make a big deal, Yes, just preparing the betrothal gift is not enough."
Gu Changan agreed very much with what the second shopkeeper said: "When I get married, I have to make my little daughter-in-law look glamorous and make people envious when she mentions it. This little money is indeed not enough. Second shopkeeper, can your bank be used as something?" "
He took out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "Please show me how much my jade pendant is worth."
The second shopkeeper took it and took a look, then let out a low voice, his hands trembling with excitement.
He returned the jade pendant to Gu Chang'an and hugged his fists: "Mr. Gu, please wait a moment. I'm a little blind. I have to invite the big shopkeeper of our bank to come out and let him take a look."
