Wei Feng is not a 17-year-old stupid boy who will hold his neck and get red-faced when he is wronged. On the contrary, he can figure out many things due to his past life experience.
For example, the person in front of me, as a cultivator, opens a shop near the academy like Feiniao Town. He seems to have a high level of cultivation. He dares to take action at will and buy and sell semi-forced. Is this something ordinary people dare to do?
This situation generally does not mean that the other party is stupid or unscrupulous. Presumably, no one dares to be unscrupulous near the academy, which means that the existence of the other party is known and allowed by the academy.
And after he mistakenly thought that he was a child of a big family, he could still give him a small lesson without asking which family, which also shows his confidence, and even has some relationship with the academy, so here That's why he acts so casually.
For an ordinary person like Wei Feng who has no strength and no background, the opponent is 10% a big shot. When a small person faces a big person, regardless of whether he wants to ask for help or not, his attitude needs to be humble enough, because for a small person, The displeasure of a big shot is fatal.
Maybe the big man himself doesn't bother to embarrass a little man, but too many people pay attention to the mood and anger of the big man. Those who want something from the big man don't mind crushing a disliked little man to please the big man.
For example, at this moment, if his guess is true, then during the process of getting into the Academy, an examiner who can decide whether he should stay or go knows that he had an unpleasant experience in Fuyuanzhai, will he try to reduce unnecessary If he is in trouble, why not just cross him off the pass list?
Maybe it would be possible, maybe not, but he didn't dare to bet at all. He hadn't been in contact with the Academy yet, so he had no way of knowing the Academy's style of doing things. Whether it was pure or dirty, impartial or selfish, he didn't know. Then He couldn't take the risk.
So when you are being held, no matter whether you are wronged or not, you should speak kindly and slowly.
So why did he come forward with a shy face at this time?
The previous shop owner of Fuyuanzhai lifted the restrictions on him as soon as he realized his misunderstanding. This shows that he is not unreasonable and behaves very well. At least the part of him that is unreasonable is just that. Targeting the aristocratic family, targeting people in their circle, rather than bullying him, a commoner.
Maybe it was his pride that made him disdain to bully the weak, maybe it was the intimidation of the academy that made him dare not embarrass the common people here, no matter what the reason was, at this moment Wei Feng shamelessly approached him in the name of asking for advice, and he could give it to him A chance to vent my frustrations.
Although this depression is caused by his misunderstanding and his arrogance, he is a big shot and has the right to express his anger and be unreasonable, but Wei Feng, a commoner, has no right to be ignorant, even if he gets close to him and gets scolded It is also good for him to relieve his anger after a meal.
After laughing, the owner of Fuyuanzhai did not follow Wei Feng's words. He just chuckled and said: "Just keep it for now. It may not be useless or useful in the future. As for how to use it, it depends on your understanding." .”
Seeing that he didn't answer, Wei Feng continued with a smile: "Then do you know where there are cheaper shops in nearby towns? I want to start a small business, but I don't have enough silver to rent a shop."
The middle-aged man looked at Wei Feng's overflowing smile, and then inadvertently glanced at the little beast at Wei Feng's feet, whose species he had not yet seen. After thinking about it, he closed his eyes and lay back in his rocking chair, rocking it gently. With.
Seeing this, Wei Feng didn't say anything anymore. He only bowed to him and quietly exited Fuyuanzhai.
Just when he walked to the door, the calm voice of the shopkeeper came: "The half of the store next door was originally Fuyuanzhai's, but I found it troublesome to open an extra door, so I kept it idle. If you want to find it, I can rent you a place to stay for thirty taels of silver a month."
Wei Feng was overjoyed. The signal sent by the other party showed that he would not care about a small person like him, and was willing to let him stay in the store next to him. This was even more of a goodwill.
After a pause, the other party added: "If you can't pay this month's rent, you can owe it first." Of course he knew that Wei Feng only had a dozen taels of silver in his pocket, so he said this.
Wei Feng had a bright smile on his face and did not hide his happiness. He quickly thanked him and said that the rent would be paid later. The other party didn't even raise his eyelids and just made a nasal sound in response.
This half storefront is located at the corner of the street and is not aligned with the main entrance of Fuyuanzhai. There is a certain angle between the two. When you open the door, the area inside is not large, but it can lead to the backyard of Fuyuanzhai. Inside the store There was nothing else but a table, but it was spotless. It wasn't the kind of clean that was often cleaned, but more like there was no dust at all.
He did not delay and put his luggage inside. It happened to be raining outside. Wei Feng led the horse under the eaves and ran out quickly. Before leaving, he shouted to Fuyuanzhai: "I I went to earn rent for you and will be back soon."
Of course, he didn't get any response, and Wei Feng didn't care. He trotted in the rain with a smile that couldn't be hidden on his face. He thought to himself that this is a small town next to the academy. People here drop gold when they drop money. .
About half an hour later, the soaked Wei Feng and drowned chicken Cangou returned to the store. This time they harvested two ingots of gold and twenty-two taels of broken silver. As for the copper plates, he didn't pick them up at all, and there was also a bottle of gold. He was wise enough not to touch the clay pot filled with gold and silver notes. If he took that thing, he might have endless troubles.
First, he went back to the shop and took out a dry towel to wipe the water off his body. Getting wet was of course his intention. There was a strange practitioner next to him, so he would not make such a stupid mistake.
After adjusting his clothes a little to make himself look less embarrassed, he stepped into Fuyuanzhai's store again, gently placed a piece of gold on the tea table next to the middle-aged man, and said softly: "This is for Your rent.”
An ingot of gold here costs about forty taels, and the exchange ratio between gold and silver is about one to eight, so this ingot of gold is actually equivalent to half a year's rent. Most shops pay three months' rent at a time, but Wei The wind did not mention time.
The middle-aged man didn't look at gold either. He just glanced at Wei Feng indifferently and said calmly: "My surname is Yu. You can call me Master Yu. You can use the side room behind the yard." After that, He closed his eyes again.
Wei Feng said obediently: "Okay Master."
…
"Why don't you leave?" After a long time, seeing that he didn't make any move, the owner asked with his eyes closed.
Wei Feng then spoke: "Master, can I use the kitchen?" The kitchen is the kitchen. (If you are not used to this term, I will refer to kitchen or stove in the following article. It depends on your opinions.)
Master Yu Zhai nodded imperceptibly: "Yes."
…
Yu Zhaizhu: "Why don't you leave?"
Wei Feng: "My cooking skills are very good. I will give you a share in cooking from now on."
Yu Zhaizhu: "..."
Yu Zhaizhu: "I'm not always in the store."
Wei Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Okay." This time he finally left.
I don't know what he was responding to by saying "Okay". It seemed that Master Yu understood it and didn't seem to care.
