After eating a full meal, we didn't leave until the end of the day.
After sending the shrimp heads back to Datian Bay, Bai Qi and his brother Bai Ming walked back to the soil embryo house in the night.
A copper oil lamp was lit, and the dim light illuminated the interior, reflecting two figures of different sizes.
"This brand is really nice."
Bai Qi sat on a low stool and carefully looked at the waist plate that could be used as a guide.
There is nothing surprising. The most common moso bamboo on the mountain road is chopped and chipped, and then carved with characters and seals.
It is light and thin, and its shape is crude. If you set up a stall, it would cost ten cents to sell it.
But at the entrance of Yulantang on Hongcao Street, even if it costs five taels of silver, there are a lot of people flocking to it.
"This is the power of the rules. Longting has established a three-registration and six-household system, which clearly distinguishes the superior and inferior.
Let the people below be willing to grit their teeth and endure hardships so that they can follow this road to death. "
Bai Qi sighed for no reason, if he didn't have this "merchant" status.
In this life, he can only stay in Heihe County and work peacefully as a cow and a horse.
"It's like a fish leaping over the small dragon gate."
Bai Qi laughed and put away the waist badges, roster backpages and other items.
From then on, he was the boss of Baiji Fish Stall, no longer a fisherman with a lowly business.
It can indeed be called a leap over a small dragon gate.
As for Dalongmen.
Then you have to be more promising, step into that Yihai County City, and gain a firm foothold.
"Brother."
After wiping the stove, Bai Ming put on new clothes and touched the new bedding, feeling a little at a loss in his eyes.
"Are we really not going to live here anymore?"
Bai Qi nodded:
"Well, Brother Shui gave his original house to me.
The land deeds and house deeds are all registered at the entrance of the hall and cannot be faked. "
These days, the house and land certificates often only have one piece of paper, and you keep them all by yourself.
Once you get the land deed and house deed, it's done.
"Brother Shui is so generous. Brother, if we accept their friendship like this, in the future..."
A Ming was hesitant to speak. In the private school, he once heard the teacher's allusion about the disciples who had to work hard to receive favors from the master's family.
"Your brother knows it well. Brother Shui is afraid that I won't accept his relationship with Uncle Liang.
The more help he gets, the happier and more comfortable he becomes.
Through this back and forth, everyone can get closer and not become alienated. "
Bai Qi touched his brother's head. After completing the important matter of changing the registration and household registration, Liang Sanshui made a special trip to take him and take a look at the house in the outer city.
There is a kitchen stove for the guest room on the facade, and a spacious yard in the middle, which is shaped like a zigzag as a whole.
After having someone clean it, it was quite bright and clean. Compared to the adobe house with air leakage everywhere, I don't know how much better it was.
"Yeah, brother, you can never be wrong."
Bai Mingfang was sitting at the table, carefully spreading out the newly bought paper, and began to grind, copy, and practice calligraphy.
"The teacher at the school also introduced me to some odd jobs. He said that some wealthy families organized their collections of books and asked me to help with copying. I could earn thirty cents a day."
Bai Qi nodded and agreed. Although it would definitely not be slow to make money when the fish stall opens, his younger brother has always been sensible and only wants to share the pressure for himself, so there is no need to dampen enthusiasm.
"Which teacher? Do I know him? Let Brother Shui accompany you some other time. I will be the host. Treat him to a casual meal and talk about studying in the school."
"Teacher Qian, he is not very old, in his thirties."
Bai Qi groaned and continued to read the badly-threaded "Notes of Youwei Thatched Cottage".
His literacy and hyphenation skills were only a small success, and he would not make much progress if he continued to practice calligraphy.
A better way must be found.
"Literacy means reading more books? Identifying more words by hyphenating words? It seems that you need to improve your cultural level."
…
…
It was daylight, and the two brothers began to pack their things.
Bai Ming smashed the mud urn under the bed and opened the rag bag.
It was heavy inside, and already contained a fortune of three thousand Laiwen.
My brother usually keeps half of the money he earns from fishing and saves the other half.
I have spent a lot of money these past few days and bought too many things. I don’t know how many coins I have left.
"Take it, I have no shortage of money for the time being."
Bai Qi waved his hand and stuffed the newly bought bedding and the still intact clothes into the big package.
In fact, given his poor family situation, there was nothing to deal with at all.
The only valuable thing was the sampan outside the house.
But I couldn't help it. My brother Bai Ming was used to being poor, and he was reluctant to throw away anything. He always thought about using it up before buying it again.
Throwing away and collecting again makes people helpless.
"Don't pick up the bottles and cans. There isn't much brown rice, oil and salt left. Let's pack the shrimp heads and take them home later.
That box of books... almost all that can be read have been copied.
Why are you moving the water tank? Are you still worried that there won’t be enough water in the house to raise fish?
Uncle Changshun will bring us charcoal and dry firewood when he has time..."
Bai Qi finally realized what it was like to take care of a baby. His usually obedient brother suddenly changed.
"Brother, is it difficult for us to come back?"
After working on it for a long time, it finally stopped. Bai Ming stood at the door of the house, looking up at Bai Qi.
"Perhaps, people will only want to turn back when they encounter a difficult hurdle.
I hope that I can keep moving forward and never look back. "
Bai Qi was silent for a moment and locked the wooden door.
Holding Adi's little hand, he strode towards the sampan on the river bank.
…
…
"Have your brother settled down? He really looks energetic after changing into nice clothes."
In the Dongshi shop, which was much deserted than usual, Liang Laoshi was still sitting in the rocking chair, squinting in the sun:
"I asked Sanshui to get all the things that need to be purchased for the house.
When you have free time, you can go to the dental shop over there in Chaishi City and hire a cook or a cook. "
Ever since Liang Sanshui became the manager, Old Man Liang has obviously become more cheerful and cheerful, and he has obviously settled a problem on his mind.
"You know, Brother Shui has always been steady and reliable. He arranges many trivial chores in an orderly manner, which saves me a lot of effort."
Bai Qi took off his bunt today and put on a loose robe with narrow sleeves and a waist:
"When Manager Lei takes action to subdue that monster fish, I will go down to the river and get out of the boat, and kill a few silver sand carp for you, Uncle Liang, to get rid of the root of the disease."
Liang Laoshi's face moved slightly, but his expression showed no change, but he was very satisfied in his heart.
No matter when, not forgetting one's roots and knowing how to be grateful are the advantages that people like.
Ah Qi completed the registration and household change, but she was still willing to bring silver sand carp over to show her respect.
This made Liang Laoshi quite comfortable and felt that his vision was correct:
"It's good that you have this heart. Now the demon fish is causing trouble, and fishermen are afraid to go into the river. I think it will take another three to five days to calm down.
Manager Lei is a lazy person. If he doesn't ask for three invitations and four invitations, he may not get a response. "
Such a big rack?
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows. Is there any powerful character in Heihe County that the Yu Lan Dong family can't hire?
"Don't sit in a well and look at the sky. A top martial artist with three or four trainings is still considered the number one figure in Yihai County.
For Heihe County, it is like a tiger sitting on a mountain, which is very majestic. "
Liang Laoshi said with emotion that every two levels of the four major martial arts trainings is a level.
Training the muscles and bones is barely good, but training the skin and qi really requires talent.
"Uncle Liang, how much training does Mr. Lei have?"
Bai Qi asked, pretending to be curious.
"I'm almost done with skin training. Those masters, Xiongyinghubao, are almost at this level."
Liang Laoshi covered his legs with a blanket and said slowly:
"Take your own skin to be strong and tough, not afraid of ordinary swords!
Before Lei Xiong was hired as the general manager of the fish farm, he was seeking revenge and was blocked in a narrow alley. The hired thugs were pressing down step by step with sharpened bamboo poles.
In this case, no matter how high your martial arts is, you will not be able to use it and will only be stabbed into a bloody gourd. "
Just thinking about that scene made Bai Qi's scalp numb.
The dark alley, which is only big enough to turn around, is blocked in front and behind, and dozens of sharpened bamboo poles are stabbed forward. How can it be blocked?
"Lei Xiong was unharmed because he was able to reach the level of skin training at that time.
Under the exertion of force, the muscles and skin bulged into a ball, like tanned cowhide, forcibly fighting a way against the sharpened bamboo pole.
He became famous in one battle and was hired as a general manager by Yu Lan, ranking him among the most powerful martial arts masters in Heihe County.
If you train your muscles and bones, you will be a good player; if you train your skin and Qi, you will be a master! "
There was also a bit of envy in Liang Laoshi's words. It was not without hope for him to enter the skin training stage back then.
Unfortunately, he was tricked by Yang Meng and almost died on the Five Hundred Miles Mountain Road, and his future was cut off from then on.
"I see."
Bai Qi's eyes were slightly bright, he was so energetic when he first started training.
If he were wearing iron armor and charging in battle, wouldn't he be an enemy of a hundred people?
"Ah Qi, your talent is average and your understanding is excellent. Your only shortcoming is that you are not young enough.
Golden elixir great power only involves practicing and cultivating techniques, but does not include fighting or killing techniques.
In ordinary martial arts schools, apprentices only learn the techniques. Only when they have enough money and become disciples can they be taught the techniques.
The skills of fighting and killing are hard to buy for money, so they must be taught personally. "
Liang Laoshi opened his drooped eyelids, lifted the blanket, and stood up slowly:
"Let's take you to the three major martial arts schools in the inner city and see who you accept as your master in the end."
