Jinda glanced at the sweet-smelling piglet sleeping in the nest, sighed, and nodded in agreement.
After realizing that he had wasted some time this morning, it was almost time for the bookstore to open, so Song Yushan asked Uncle Jin not to make breakfast and go directly to the street to buy ready-made breakfast.
On the first day of practice, Jing Niang woke up before dawn, packed herself up, moved a small mazha, and sat under the eaves, waiting and waiting, with her big bricks beside her.
When there was movement from the corner door, Jing Niang stood up with a swish.
So, as soon as Song Yushan opened the corner door, Jing Niang, dressed as a servant, appeared behind the door and called out with great force: "Miss."
His voice was obviously thickened on purpose.
Song Yushan took a look at her dress and didn't make any comments. He only asked her how her rest last night was.
After hearing that she had a good rest, Song Yushan didn't ask any more questions: "Just follow me."
She took Jing Niang and Dabai Goose into the bookstore and opened the door.
At this time, there were three or two scholars waiting outside the door, including Master Yang.
After greeting each other, Song Yushan introduced: "I have to practice martial arts every day, and sometimes I can't take care of the store. In order not to delay everyone's study, I invited Jing Niang to help me, and I ask everyone to take care of me."
Jing Niang also bowed.
No one cared about her age. There were many people who started working as apprentices in stores at the age of eight or nine.
Although she was dressed like a servant and spoke in a rough voice, which made her appear nondescript, you could still tell at a glance that she was a girl.
This woman's identity still makes people frown subconsciously, but they can't say anything bad about women. Who makes this bookstore owned by a woman?
They all accepted a woman as a shopkeeper, and there seemed to be nothing to complain about having a woman as a waiter.
It doesn’t matter who is the clerk. What matters is whether the bookstore can open more doors to welcome customers.
Even though they felt a little unhappy, no one outright objected to women becoming assistants. Instead, they talked about the cultivation practice that Song Yushan mentioned.
"Ms. Song's family is well-educated. She only needs to learn martial arts to protect herself. What's the point of learning those tricks to fool people?"
This is treating the monk as a magician.
"You must not imitate that magician's behavior and ruin the Song family's reputation!"
This is because I think monks are all magicians.
"The Song family doesn't lack that little money. As long as Miss Song manages the family's business well, she will have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life. Why should she learn other heretical things?"
This was for her father's sake.
Song Yushan did not argue with them, but listened humbly.
For so many years, no powerful monk has come to Fushui County.
Didn't she herself feel the same way before, thinking that demons, ghosts and monks were all lies?
Moreover, monks in the Body Tempering Realm do not have any magical abilities.
After that, he saw that his most upright friend did not say anything, so he reminded him: "Brother Yang, don't you give Miss Song some advice?"
Yang Xuan glanced at Song Yushan, lowered his head, and said lightly, "Ms. Song knows the importance," and then said goodbye rather hastily and went to read a collection of poems.
When he made such an interruption, the others couldn't continue talking and went to find the books they wanted.
There are still a few who came for the big white goose, and they are talking around the big white goose.
"The bookstore is finally open. Without the big white goose these days, we have no energy to study."
"What's wrong? I also have a new goose at home. It runs away when I hear me reading. It's really useless! The goose raised by Miss Song's family has spiritual energy!"
The big white goose is very proud. It is the smartest and best-reading goose in Fushui County!
"I dare to ask Miss Song, is Dabai a male goose or a female goose? If he is a male goose, can he interact with my female goose? Maybe he can give birth to a goose that loves reading as much as Dabai." A scholar asked.
Big White Goose: "???"
Song Yushan saw it interestingly: "Dabai is a goose."
"Then if the eggs are laid and the cubs are hatched, can you give up one of your loved ones and give it to me?" The scholar was particularly determined to give up.
Song Yushan had to tell him a cruel fact: "My Dabai has no interest in ganders and only loves reading."
When she was anxious to earn more merits, she also had the idea of buying a male goose to keep Dabai company and lay eggs and give birth to young.
But Dabai was determined not to do it, and she couldn't force the demon to have a blind date and have babies.
"Alas!" The scholar sighed heavily: "Then please let Dabai study with us in the bookstore on weekdays, so as to provide supervision."
Song Yushan agreed: "Dabai will also be a clerk in the store in the future. When I am not around, he will also look after the store with Jing Niang."
"That's very good."
Now they were relieved.
The guests finally entered the bookstore, and they were not as difficult as expected. Jingniang's tightly clenched hands relaxed slightly.
Song Yushan touched her head and praised her: "You did a good job just now, keep up the good work."
Jing Niang's tense little face broke out and she couldn't help but grin.
The lady said she did a good job!
"Come on, let's go have breakfast. What do you want to eat?"
Song Yushan asked Yuan Shibo to look around the shop and take her out.
Big White Goose had just received a new job, and with monthly money, he was much more generous. He took the copper coins and went out with them.
When it came time to pay, Song Yushan paid her and Jingniang's share, and Dabai Goose reluctantly paid out of his own pocket.
After returning to the bookstore, he took a large piece of paper in his mouth, held the pen with his wings, and wrote three characters angrily: "You are partial!"
He is also a clerk in a bookstore. How come he has to pay for it at his own expense so early, but this little girl can eat for free?
"It's not that I'm biased. We're all guys, and our abilities are different."
Song Yushan had already expected that it would be unbalanced, so he said calmly:
“Jing Niang’s monthly salary is twenty taels, and the accommodation and food are of good quality.
You only get one yuan per month, and the food and accommodation are standard for ordinary domestic goose.
How much ability you have, how much treatment you have, the only difference is your ability. "
Big White Goose: "Quack, quack, quack!"
It doesn't believe it can be worse than this little girl!
"I didn't take the exam for you this month. If you are dissatisfied, you can compete with Jing Niang today. If you can do better than her, I will give you a monthly salary increase."
"Gah!" Big White Goose puffed up his chest and glanced at Jing Niang, feeling very confident.
He heard from the bookstore’s customers that human women don’t like reading!
Jing Niang: "..."
This goose seems a little overconfident.
She started learning at the age of three and has been studying for more than six years now. How can she be inferior to a goose who has only been studying for a few months?
"Jing Niang, go get the pen and ink." Song Yushan ordered.
Jing Niang quickly got it.
Song Yushan quickly issued two sets of test questions, each of which was half text questions and half arithmetic questions.
Then they were given a place on the left and right sides of the counter and asked them to start doing it at the same time.
The big white goose worked hard. It just felt that it was smarter again today.
Jing Niang took her time and answered the questions seriously.
The movement here attracted the attention of other people in the bookstore, who also came to watch the excitement.
